Reilly shares findings of BP investigation

young trustee

Semi-finalist pool shows little diversity

by Julian Spector THE CHRONICLE

In the months following the Gulf oil spill last April, a group of experts has searched for answers. Members of the Duke community were presented with first-hand insight into the investigation Monday night. William Reilly, co-chair of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling, discussed the causes and consequences of the spill, as well as the findings of the commission’s report, during a presentation in Reynolds Industries Theater. The commission released its final report Jan. 11. President Barack Obama appointed Reilly to co-chair the commission with Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., in May. The commission’s lack of subpoena power within the oil industry was an initial concern, Reilly said, but this did not prevent the commission from gathering testimony. He attributed the commission’s success to its non-adversarial approach to dealing with oil companies. “An important way in which we proceeded was to show respect for those who spoke before us and for the companies themselves,” Reilly said. “This was not 9/11, though our commission was often compared to [the 9/11 Commission]. Nobody intentionally killed anyone. This was not evil. These were the blunders of well meaning men that had fatal consequences—there’s a big difference.” Reilly comes from a three-pronged background, with roles in environmental organizations, public service and business. He served as president of the World Wildlife Fund from 1985 until his appointment in 1989 as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under former president George H.W. Bush. He is the founding partner of Aqua International Partners, a private equity and venture capital firm with interests in companies providing water and waterrelated products, and serves on the boards of multiple energy corporations, including ConocoPhillips. Reilly also chairs the Board of Advisors for Duke’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions. NicholasInstituteDirectorTimothyProfeta introduced President Richard Brodhead, who discussed the issues raised by the BP oil spill and the role of investigative commissions in response to various crises throughout history. Brodhead commended Reilly’s achievements, including his leadership of the EPA during the Exxon Valdez oil spill and his oversight of the reauthorization of the Clean Air Act, which included cap and trade legislation to See reilly on page 3

William Reilly discussed conclusions of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling final report. Fault was attributed to Halliburton and TransOcean along with BP.

In their racial and gender makeup and campus affiliation, this year’s Young Trustee semi-finalists are similar. Four of the eight semifinalists have a current news affiliation with Duke Student Government and analysis the majority of the candidates are white men. Sophomore Christine Larson, chair of the Young Trustee Nominating Committee, said DSG experience tends to make for a “more qualified” candidate. Last year, only one of the seven semi-finalists for YT was affiliated with DSG. “Generally people who have experience with DSG know a lot about issues on campus and are familiar with the interactions between the Board [of Trustees], the University and students,” Larson said. “It doesn’t mean that if you’re not in DSG, you’re not qualified. But that extra little bit may help.” DSG Executive Vice President Pete Schork, a junior, said it makes sense that students affiliated with DSG would be attracted to the YT position. “I think that the kind of people involved See yt on page 3

Perdue: NC should not privatize ABC system by Alejandro Bolívar THE CHRONICLE

Gov. Bev Purdue announced Thursday in Durham that she hopes to keep North Carolina’s Alcohol Beverage Control system as it is now, despite discussions of privatization. Perdue previously contemplated selling the ABC system to relieve the state’s budget deficits. Last year, the 28-member Joint Study Committee on Alcoholic Beverage Control hired a Chicago-based consulting group to estimate how much revenue the state could obtain by privatizing the operation. In her speech, Perdue said a sale would raise approximately $300 million, but she maintained that the one-time payment does not justify the change. Some North Carolina legislators have expressed interest in continuing to consider privatization as an option, but the governor’s rejection of the plan may impede those efforts. “The current ABC system, especially with the new ethical standards in place, is well-run and gives us the third best excise revenue in the country,” Perdue said in her speech. “I am still looking for new and innovative ways to set government straight and tackle our budget issues, but for me, today, selling the ABC system just isn’t the right way.” See abc on page 3

Selling the ABC system would earn North Carolina an estimated $300 million, but Perdue is pursuing other alternatives to relieve state budget defecits.

Arizona shooting suspect pleads not guilty.

Emanuel ruled ineligible to Putin fails to prevent run for mayor in Chicago terrorism in Moscow WASHINGTON — An Illinois appellate court ruled Monday that former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is ineligible to run for Chicago Mayor because he does not meet the residency requirements of the office. By a two-to-one vote the panel decided that Emanuel should not appear on the Feb. 22 ballot, a stunning blow to the onetime Chicago-area Congressman who had emerged as a clear favorite to replace retiring Mayor Richard M. Daley. Sources close to Emanuel confirmed that he will appeal the ruling with the Illinois Supreme Court. Four of the seven state supreme court justices must agree to hear the case. “I have no doubt at the end we’ll prevail in this effort,” Emanuel said at a news conference this afternoon in Chicago. “We’ll now go to the next level to get clarity.” Rick Hasen, an election law expert at Loyola Law School, said the dissenting judge gave Emanuel grounds for an appeal in his minority opinion. “I expect an appeal to the state Supreme Court, especially when the dissenting judge says that the majority opinion is based on on established law but the ‘whims’ of two judges,” Hasen said. The news came as a shock to political operatives and legal experts alike.

MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin’s years in power have been marked by a series of terrorist acts that have given him the latitude to acquire ever-tighter control over Russia, all in the name of security and stability. Monday’s explosion in a crowded hall at Moscow’s busiest airport reminded Russians, once again, that they have neither. With regions of the North Caucasus rife with bitterness and racial tensions growing in Moscow and elsewhere, ordinary people were afraid, and there was little reason to hope an end to the violence was near. “Russia is doomed to terrorism on a broader scale,” said Lilia Shevtsova, a political expert at the Carnegie Moscow Center, “and it will increase with every passing year.” The average Russian pays little attention to regular acts of terrorism in the Caucasus, where bombs explode in markets, police cars are bombed and hostages are taken. Yet those acts reveal grievances not easily forgotten and very much in danger of erupting in greater violence. Two civil wars in Chechnya have left a legacy of hatred and longing for revenge among its largely Muslim population, which angers and frightens ethnic Russians. In December, Russian nationalists marched through Moscow, raging against Caucasians after a soccer fan was killed in a fight with migrants from the North Caucasus.

yt from page 1 in DSG would also be comfortable with working in a Board of Trustee environment,” Schork said. “The people interested in benefitting the life of the University [through being YT] would also want to run for DSG.” Still, notably missing from this year’s semi-finalists were the leaders of major campus groups. DSG President Mike Lefevre, a senior, promised when campaigning for president that he would not run for Young Trustee. Duke University Union President Yi Zhang and Campus Council President Stephen Temple, both seniors, also chose not to apply. “It’s not anything against the position,” Zhang said. “For me personally, if I don’t really want [the position], I won’t do a good job.” Additionally, six of the semifinalists are male, leaving only two female candidates—even though nine of the 20 original applicants were female. Larson said the disproportionate number of men was not due to bias, but that the male candidates happened to be generally more qualified. Three of last year’s seven semi-finalists were female. Larson, however, admitted that this year’s semi-finalist selection process and its results will likely lead to debate. “We knew the identity of the candidates going into it, and I’m not sure that’s good because it leads to questions about gender,” Larson said. “We chose the applications based on qualifications.”

Tuesday, january 25, 2011 | 3

Last year, DSG blacked out any information that could reveal the candidates’ identities. Following a bylaw change, all identifying information was available to the YTNC. Junior Lauren Moxley, last year’s YTNC chair, said the transition to transparency about applicants’ identities created a better process. She added that in past years, some members of the YTNC knew the identities of certain candidates, which led to a “weird dynamic.” Moxley also said blacking out information was not always successful in keeping identities anonymous. “For example, the applications would say ‘The president of blank, the largest women’s group on campus,” she said. “You would know that it’s [the Panhellenic Association].” Schork also noted that specific information about campus involvement is important for determining whether a student is qualified to be the Young Trustee and what kind of impact he or she might have. Although the racial background of the original applicants is unclear, only two of the semi-finalists are non-white. Candidates also exhibited similar ideas. Almost every candidate identified Duke’s global expansion and the University’s struggle with public image as key issues, yet did not propose any new ideas on how to change this perception. Interviews for each of the eight semi-finalists will be held Friday and three finalists will be announced Jan. 29. Students will elect the Young Trustee Feb. 15.

combat acid rain. “This man was born to head the commission he was named to this past year,” Brodhead said. Reilly began by describing the role that the Nicholas Institute played in the commission’s report, calling its research on the restoration of the Gulf “considerable.” As a result of the report’s findings, Reilly said he and Graham will advocate in Congress Wednesday for 80 percent of the government funds obtained from fines to be allocated to Gulf restoration projects. The commission was not tasked with determining guilt in the oil spill, Reilly said, adding that the goal was instead to determine the causes of the spill and recommend improvement in the long term. The Department of Justice is, however, currently conducting criminal and civil investigations, he noted. “The number of lives in these industries that were affected were very considerable and will take a long time [to recover], particularly the brand destruction,” he said.

Connel Fullenkamp, director of undergraduate studies and professor of economics, said he thought the state did not sell the ABC system because it did not receive offers as high as it had hoped. He added that states usually consider selling off assets when they face serious budget deficits. However, similar to Arizona’s state government discussion of selling their capitol building, these options are only profitable in the short term. “These maneuvers typically put off the day of reckoning,” Fullenkamp said. In considering options to reform the ABC system, Perdue vowed to only consider options that kept North Carolina a control state—in that it regulates the sale and distribution of alcohol—and protected state and local revenues. North Carolina is one of 19 control states in the country and one of four states nationwide with a total monopoly over liquor sales. Spirits are sold exclusively by the 167 local ABC boards that operate the 422 retail ABC stores located in all but one of the state’s 100 counties. “I don’t want to be the governor who has to hold my granddaughter’s hand as we walk past the liquor bottles on our way to the toy aisle in Walmart or towards the cereal in Food Lion,” Perdue said. “That

isn’t North Carolina. That isn’t who we are or what we want to become.” Local ABC stores currently represent a large source of income for the counties and cities in which they are located. For instance, Durham County’s ABC Board distributed $1,369,294,in funding for local government, law enforcement and alcohol education. Overall, the ABC system provided the state government with $200 million and local governments with $51 million last year. Still, North Carolina has one of the lowest per capita alcohol consumption rates in the nation, currently tied for 44th place. Joe Walls, executive director and general counsel for the N.C. Association of ABC Boards, said he thinks the state’s moderate consumption of liquor is due to the current regulation system. “[The N.C. Association of ABC Boards thinks] that control and moderation are the most important aspects of the ABC system, and we think the current system serves those purposes,” he said. “In privatized systems, you have increased outlets that lead to increase in alcohol consumption and the problems that arise from increased consumption.” Randy Mills, general manager of the Durham County ABC board, said he supported Perdue’s decision, adding that the Durham County ABC stores will continue doing “business as usual.”

TRACK & FIELD

DUKE’S BEST ATHLETE VS. THE WORLD

Track & field star Curtis Beach to compete against world’s best at Millrose Games by Sarah Elsakr THE CHRONICLE

When sophomore Curtis Beach decided to commit to Duke University, he confused a lot of people. For almost 30 years, Duke Track & Field’s standing as a competitive program has left quite a bit to be desired. However, when it was time for the high school record-holder to pick a school, Duke was his first choice. “What I was looking for in a college was a place where I could develop for long term success in the decathlon,” Beach said. “I was already thinking when going into college about being a professional athlete and hopefully going to the Olympics.... At other colleges they would use me to score as many points as I could for the school each and every meet.... Here, the later stuff is the focus and anything that happens along the way in college is just part of the process.” On Friday, Beach will take a major step toward those professional goals when he competes in the world-renowned Millrose Games in New York. He will participate in the 60-meter hurdles, high jump and shot put against some of his sport’s top athletes. And according to Beach, he got to this current lofty position by keeping one goal

in mind: to be the best at what he does. When Beach started his running career, back in 1997, he was seven years old. Originally a cross-country runner, Beach started track at the suggestion of his middle school coach, James Ciccarello. But unlike a lot of college and high school athletes, he was never able to settle on a favorite event. Luckily, he found his niche in multi-event competitions, and was successful in everything from the pentathlon to the 13-event decathlon that he competed in during his last high school meet. Of course, a lot has changed since those middle school and high school days on the track. Now, Beach is a major part of the running world, in way that he could only dream of in those early years. “Every kid dreams of being a professional athlete at some point, so I thought in the back of my mind, you know maybe I can do pro track, but it was more of a fantasy than a serious consideration,” Beach said. “I think when I was in ninth grade, I kind of thought that this may be a real possibility.” The current reality is that Beach has kept up the impressive performances he began in high school as a Blue Devil.

Curtis Beach will compete Friday against top athletes like Olympic gold medalist Bryan Clay in the Millrose Games.

To help Smith, play Thornton at the point Tyler Thornton is a point guard. Nolan Smith is not. Fully taking advantage of Smith’s considerable talents might be as simple as realizing that. Since Kyrie Irving’s injured toe sidelined him in December, Smith has taken the reins as Duke’s floor genScott eral. And in the immediate aftermath of the injury, Smith looked to have overcome his sophomoreyear struggles at the position—in Duke’s next five games after Smith adjusted to the position against Bradley, he averaged more than 26 points a game along with 5.6 assists while never shooting less than 50 percent from the field, albeit against generally inferior competition. And even as ACC season began in earnest, Smith’s numbers continued to be exemplary. Beneath the statistics, however, lies a truth that many Duke fans want to ignore: Nolan Smith is better as a shooting guard.

addison corriher/The Chronicle

Having Tyler Thornton run the point allows Nolan Smith to play his natural position, 2-guard, Rich writes.

His declining shooting percentages, for one, show he is better when he receives the ball: In order to reach 20 points per game, Smith has been taking more and more shots, many of which disrupt the flow of the Blue Devils’ offense. Smith has also kept the ball in his hands deep into the shot-clock or even for an entire possession, leading to many illadvised fade-away jumpers. In his last five games, the senior has averaged 19 shots a game for 21.4 points per contest, a slight improvement over the 17.8 points per game he averaged in his first eight games. But early in the season, he hoisted a much more efficient 12 shots per game. The numbers exemplify a trend that has hindered Duke in ACC play, especially in its lone loss versus Florida State. With Irving in the lineup, Duke’s offense ran with Smith stationed at the wing, allowing him to be an efficient scorer. With Smith at the point, Duke’s offense runs around Smith, relying too often on his one-on-one talents rather See rich on page 8

beach from page 5 his first year alone he was able to set a school record for the 4x800m relay as well as a collegiate meet record at the New Balance Invitational at the Armory Track & Field Center in New York. “That was really special, to actually share that experience with my other teammates, and all of us ran well and that was just an amazing experience from last year,” Beach said. Other outstanding moments in Beach’s short-yet successful college career include his world record-breaking 2:27.88 in the heptathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championships and his school record-breaking heptathlon performance at the ACC Indoor Championships. The key to all this success, according to Beach, is to run for the love of the sport. “Each competition I just try to do the best I can,” Beach said. “I think it’s just as simple as that; not thinking about why you’re actually competing… not being consumed by the results. Just focus more on the process and let the results take care of themselves.” This intense focus will be crucial for Beach as he heads to Madison Square Garden Thursday to compete in the Millrose Games. Beach will participate in the Millrose Multi Challenge, competing against the current indoor heptathlon world record holder Ashton Eaton and Olympic gold medalist Bryan Clay. Despite the intense scrutiny that comes with such high-level competition, Beach is still able to maintain his relaxed and optimistic mentality. “I tend to perform better in bigger meets,” Beach said. “I think that a big part of the Millrose Games is that no one expects me to do well, they expect me to finish last. So that takes a lot of pressure off and I can just go

rich from page 5 than the team-wide offensive execution that has been a staple of head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s reign at Duke. Meanwhile, during the past month, Thornton has come off the bench and shown that, with him at the point, Duke’s offense runs more naturally. In reality, that’s all Duke needs at that position. The important thing to note is that Smith’s play seems to rely more on his position on the floor rather than the personnel around him. Smith’s struggles his sophomore year are well documented, but after he moved permanently to the wing last season both his points per game and assists per game nearly doubled. Thornton won’t be explosive off the dribble or on the fast-break like Irving. But beyond his obvious defensive prowess, he knows how to run Duke’s offense. He may

Adding to his sense of comfort is the fact that his family will be there to watch him compete, something he felt was missing from his collegiate career. Knowing that they are there to support him makes a real difference to Beach,

whose goal is to simply make the meet memorable, and to enjoy his biggest competition yet. All those years of hard work and focus, from his first run at the age of seven to the Millrose Games in which he will soon compete, have combined to mark Beach as one of track and field’s most promising rising stars. “In a sense,” Beach said, “track kind of defines me as a person.”

not put up the dazzling assist numbers of Irving or even Smith, but he doesn’t have to—Thornton makes the first pass that starts Duke’s offense and more often than not gets the entire team involved—rather than just Smith or Kyle Singler. The difference between Thornton and Smith’s styles at the point were on display Saturday against Wake Forest, a game in which Thornton played the most minutes of his career. For a majority of the game, Duke’s offense revolved around Smith and his one-on-one abilities. Smith often forced shots early in the shot clock and without using his teammates, leading to a 6-for-22 shooting performance. But when Thornton was allowed to bring the ball up, the movement, ball-rotation and quick passes that epitomized this team under both Jon Scheyer and Irving reappeared. Thornton’s presence at the point forced

the Blue Devils to run their offensive sets, getting big men Ryan Kelly and Miles Plumlee more touches in the paint and more open shots for Singler, Seth Curry and Andre Dawkins. True, Thornton’s impact doesn’t show up on his statline, and Smith still finished the game with 19 points. But in many cases the all-important eye-test trumps pure statistics, and with Thornton at the point Duke’s offense simply looks better. He doesn’t have to start and he doesn’t need to dominate the stat-sheet. But if Krzyzewski continues to give Thornton extended minutes and the freedom to bring the ball up the court, the Blue Devils and their national championship hopes will be better for it.

pus Council. To ensure that these houses maintain appropriate representation in government, the house councils should be autonomous and have the ability to charge dues and create their own budgets. The finances previously allotted to quads by Campus Council can be split up among the new houses to use as they see fit. We also approve of the timing of this move, as it will allow for a sufficient acclimation and adjustment period before the house model is implemented. Student government will have ample time to adapt to the house model. Furthermore, DSG’s desire to create a position of vice president for residence life and dining is a prudent

move. As an undergraduate parallel to the post of the recently hired Rick Johnson, assistant vice president of housing and dining, this position will help bring the Residence Life and Dining Committee and the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee together under the DSG umbrella. This cooperation will provide for an increase in productivity necessitated by the current state of the Dining deficit. Still, this consolidation raises several issues that warrant consideration. One of the benefits of Campus Council is that it helps balance out the gaps between independents, selective living groups and fraternities living in close quarters. We anticipate that the newly

formed house councils will have the organizational ability to do this themselves, but specifics should be included in the house model plans to assist in this process. The significant increase in DUU responsibilities will test its ability to oversee student programming as well. DUU needs to ensure that it is prepared for this surge and the potential for a reduced availability to student groups that may come with this more centralized approach. While there are still important specifics to be worked out, the wheels are in motion toward a significantly more streamlined governing system for undergraduates. We look forward to the increased effectiveness that should result.

The changes we seek I want a Duke Student Government that is the most efficient it can possibly be. I want a student government committed to reducing overlapping positions, defining areas of responsibility, increasing collaboration among student groups and reducing waste in both time and resources. The Campus Council-DSG merger proposal endorsed by Campus Council last Thursday is a wonderful first step in achieving these goals. The new structure allows DSG to gain student representatives from every single dorm and a group of students who have valuable experience with the gregory morrison nitty-gritty of the University’s residential finish the thought life. The new structure increases accountability through elections for residential governance and decreases fighting between student leaders competing for time and attention. DSG President Mike Lefevre and Campus Council President Stephen Temple have done an excellent job, via this merger, of thinking outside the box to deliver a better system of representation for students. The DSG Senate will doubtless also approve the merger in the coming weeks. When it comes to you in referendum Feb. 15, you should vote in favor. This merger is exactly the type of arrangement that reduces overlapping positions, defines areas of responsibility and increases collaboration. As revolutionary as it seems, the merger cannot be the end of efforts to make DSG work more efficiently. Your student government has long been handicapped by the fact that students operate on a vastly different time horizon in their decision-making than the administrators they lobby. We claim to be mature University stakeholders that therefore deserve a seat at the table when big decisions are made. This is true; we are University stakeholders, and we absolutely do deserve a seat at every table that makes decisions affecting us. However, until our student government adopts a longerrange set of goals and principles, students aren’t likely to achieve the sort of meaningful influence we seek. Lefevre should convene and chair a student commission to write a fiveyear strategic plan for student government. It is time that we enjoy a level of consistency in our student government from year to year. The DSG strategic plan ought to start by recognizing that students are key University stakeholders. The University exists for students. Its mission is, in part, to “provide a superior liberal education to undergraduate students, attending not only to their intellectual growth but also to their development as adults committed to high ethical standards and full participation as leaders in their communities.” This campus is our community, and it’s the job of our student government, above all other student organizations, to ensure that we do, in fact, fully participate as leaders of the University. DSG should also broadly define two objectives, which it commits to pursue in all of its activities: (1) increase student freedom and choice and (2) reduce costs to students. The freedom imperative has many uses. Students should have increased options when it comes to dining, for example, or how they fulfill their curricular distribution requirements or how students are treated in the student judicial process. You will find that all of these initiatives have been present in every DSG presidential hopefuls’ platform for the past few years. Articulating, formally, the principle behind these initiatives—freedom and increased choice—lends narrative consistency to advocacy efforts on our behalf. Reducing costs for students is also of paramount importance, especially since the University is committed to a principle of “access” under which no one is denied a Duke education because of their socioeconomic status. Student government should continue to argue for an end to the so-called “emergency” increase in the dining fee and a reduction or elimination of other fees. Efforts to reduce the price of food on campus or to garner administrative support for projects like the Greek Financial Aid initiative would be advanced—and guaranteed longevity across DSG presidential administrations—by a DSG strategic plan that specifically commits student government to reduce costs to students. A successful planning process would also pose questions about cooperation and accountability. Is the system under which DSG disburses more than $600,000 of our money a system in which we have adequate voice, in which collaboration is encouraged and in which those who misuse funds can be identified and properly punished? Do the DSG representatives on the various University and Board of Trustee committees understand their portfolios and participate in policy-making at the center? How should achievement in the DSG Senate be measured? What is the best use of a DSG president’s cabinet? How does DSG go about soliciting new ideas? These are all difficult questions deserving of thoughtful consideration and robust answers. We deserve a government with clear goals. We deserve a government that uses strategy, not simply personality, to effect the changes we seek on campus. Gregory Morrison is a Trinity senior. His column runs every Monday.

remembrances A Recollection of Reynolds Price A generous man, who gave more than 50 years of his life teaching Duke University undergraduates, has passed from our ken. Those of us who knew him for even part of his long career will wonder whether anyone will ever replace him as a master artist portraying the rich diversity of North Carolina’s people or as an inspiration to its young writers. I first heard of Reynolds Price when I began my graduate study in English at Duke in 1957. Duke’s English faculty lauded the 1955 summa cum laude graduate who had won one of the 32 prestigious Rhodes scholarships given annually to Americans for study at Oxford University. He returned having developed friendships in Oxford with world-renowned writers—W.H. Auden and Steven Spender, among others. When I began teaching at Duke in 1961, Reynolds’ first book, “A Long and Happy Life,” was published to immense acclaim, with movie rights and a prominent cast of Hollywood stars picked for a movie production which, however, was never completed. The full canon of Reynolds Price’s work includes 13 novels, many short stories and plays and, overall, a highly varied literary output. Critics and reviewers are better qualified than I to comment on them. What I remember, as an English department colleague of his for 11 years, was a handsome man with dark hair, an intense gaze, rollicking laughter and a rich, deep voice that repeatedly drew upon quotations of poetry and prose which his fecund memory seemed to have ready for any conversation. Reynolds loved people and loved to offer descriptions or stories that flowed from him as mellifluously in conversation as in his writing. It was not by accident that for almost a half century Reynolds taught a course on John Milton, whose deep piety and love of the English language was mirrored in Reynolds Price. In describing how he could explore life through literature, not just through physical travel, the British poet John Keats “traveled in the realms of gold,/and many goodly states and kingdoms” saw in his diverse reading. Similarly, Reynolds Price traveled widely in literature, but except for his three years at Oxford, lived all his life in North Carolina, which served as the setting for almost all his stories. Although Reynolds was a wonderful conversationalist, when I knew him in his 20s and 30s, he was, overall, a very private person—a literary artisan who spent much of his time in private—reading, thinking, feeling and writing. He emerged to share himself with students and friends, but was seldom seen taking meals or coffee on campus. Following the discovery and treatment of a tumor wrapped around his spinal cord in 1984, Reynolds was paralyzed from the waist down. After that time, his writing took on a more overtly religious feeling, and in his book titled “A Whole New Life: An Illness and a Healing,” he shares an experience that people of faith would easily call “miraculous.”

His former students Anne Tyler and Josephine Humphreys were among his early students who proceeded to notable literary careers. And although they are among the best known of his former pupils, the lives of many at Duke were powerfully affected by his presence. As Hamlet said of his father, “He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.” Robert Krueger Former associate professor of English at Duke Former vice provost and Dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. U.S. Congressman, U.S. Senator and U.S. Ambassador A model of faith and serenity Of all the people I have ever known, Reynolds Price is most closely associated with the beauty and power of language. His love of words, expressed both orally with the musical power of his unforgettable voice and on paper with the distinctive unmatchable cadence of his poetry and prose. This is what I will remember most deeply. Next I would name the gift of his friendship – his sweet sly smile and genuine caring about other people. He always reached out of his wheelchair to give a hug, a handshake, a warm greeting. He made you feel that your conversation was the most important thing around at any particular moment you were with him, even in a large crowd of people. After that would come his personal courage, his grace and humor in the face of the terrible pain and privation he endured. He never complained, never bemoaned his fate. Seeing photos of him as a younger man—strikingly handsome, vigorous, striding across the campus—you realize how much it must have cost him to be confined to a wheelchair and have to learn to deal with so much pain. But he turned that challenge into a model of faith and serenity for all of us. Then comes his love of teaching, of his students, of his region of the country and of Duke. All these things somehow came together for him, and enriched his life and the lives of those around him. If we could have chosen someone to be taken, in the past and in the future, as the embodiment of Duke University, we would surely have chosen Reynolds Price. Fortunately, he made the decision for us, by choosing Duke. Reynolds accomplished an enormous amount in his seven-plus decades, more than most people could in seven lives. He was a great teacher, splendid writer and unexcelled conversationalist. It is good to have a chance to say how much he meant to all of us who were fortunate enough to know him. It is hard to think how much he will be missed. Nannerl O. Keohane Laurance S.
