THE CHRONICLE

Duke and Johns Hopkins began their National Championship rematch under a steady rainfall. Storms were expected, but the thunder never came from above.

Instead, it was the Blue Devil offense making plenty ofnoise.

Duke scored the first five goals after halftime, racing out to a 13-4 lead en route to a 17-6 blowout victory over the No. 11 Blue Jays (3-5) Saturday night in Koskinen 2 fans, Stadium. In from of Blue Devils (11-1) not avenged last season’s defeat, but also showed just how dangerous they can be.

“It feels great, not just because it’s Hopkins, but because we played so well,” said attackman Matt Danowski, who had a goal and six assists. “We played so well on both the defensive end and the offensive end. I can say, without a doubt, it’s the best offensive game we’ve played as team since I’ve been here.”

Zack Greer paced that offensive attack, registering six goals—four on feeds from Danowski—to raise his nation-leading total to 39 and move him into seventh place all-time in the NCAA with 180 career goals.

Danowski’s third assist moved him past Virginia’s Tim Whiteley to become the ACC’s all-time leader.

Not surprisingly, it was Danowski and Greer who got Duke on the board first.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Mark Penn, the pollster and senior strategist for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid, left the campaign Sunday after it was disclosed he met with representatives of the Colombian government to help promote a free trade agreement Clinton opposes.

"After the events of the last few days, Mark Penn has asked to give up his role as chief strategist of the Clinton Campaign," campaign manager Maggie Williams said in a statement released Sunday."Mark,and Penn,Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. will continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign."

BAGHDAD Rockets or mortars slammed into the U.S.-protected Green Zone and a military base elsewhere in Baghdad Sunday, killing three American soldiers and wounding 31, an official said.

The attacks occurred as U.S.and Iraqi forces battled Shiite militants in Sadr City in some of the fiercest fighting since radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered a cease-fire a week ago. At least 16 Iraqi civilians were killed in the fighting, according to hospital officials.

The struggle to keep soaring medical costs in check is feeding an increase in state programs that collect unused prescription drugs to give away to the uninsured and poor.

Some states allow donations of sealed drugs from individuals, while others only accept pharmaceuticals from institutions, such as doctor's offices or assisted-living homes. Drugs are typically vetted bypharmacists to cross-check safety, then distributed by hospitals, pharmacies or charitable clinics.

Eggers novel picked for freshman summer reading by

Catherine Butsch THE CHRONICLE

For their first assignment as college students, the Class of 2012 will read “What is the What,” by Dave Eggers, a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his memoir “A Heartbreaking Work ofStaggering Genius.”

The Duke Summer Reading program selection committee, which is in its seventh year, announced its decision last week.

The book tells the novelized life story ofValentinoAchak Deng, one of the “Lost Boys” of Sudan, a group of men orphaned or separated from their families during the Second Sudanese Civil War and who later relocated to the United States. “[The Darfur conflict] is a relevant issue that’s going on today, an issue that people know about but aren’t too familiar with,”

SPECIALTOTHE CHRONICLE

Dave Eggers is the authorof"What is theWhat," the summer reading bookfor incoming freshmen.

said First-Year Advisory Council Co-chair Jin-Soo Huh, a junior who served on the selection committee.

Catherine Admay, a visiting lecturer of public policy studies at the Duke Center for International Development, submitted the novel for the committee’s consideration.

“It’s the kind of story you are personally grateful that both Valentino Achak Deng and Dave Eggers are alive to tell and retell,” Admay wrote in an e-mail to The Chronicle.

“It grabs your heart and mind at once.”

The novel was also a finalistfor the Class of 2011 summer reading selection.

The selection committee chose the book from among four other finalists: “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” by Jonathan Safran Foer; “The Poisonwood Bible” by Barbara Kingsolver, who will deliver this year’s commencement address; “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini, author of “The Kite Runner,” which was the summer reading selection for the Class of 2009; and “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.

Before narrowing the decision to five, the committee reviewed more than 80 recommendations from various members of the Duke community.

Committee members assigned at least one person to read each suggested book and listened to feedback from the community at large before ultimately choosing “What is the What,” Huh said.

“It has literary merit—it’s a book that’s kind of hard to put down,” he said.

Huh added that he hoped reading the book would help students to better under-

“It’s often hard to picture these issues,” he said. “[The book] really humanizes the issue. You really get to know [Deng], you felt like you were in his shoes and saw everything going on.”

Deng previously visited the University in April 2006 as part of Social Justice Week.

Co-chairs of the book selection committee Carol Apollonio, associate professor of the practice in Slavic and Eurasian Studies, and Ryan Lombardi, associate dean of students, could not be reached for comment.

Student leaders and administrators from the Silent Vigil voice opinions about their experiences.

“I still have a feeling of awe when I think about waking up that first morning on the quad. I did not believe the numbers of students who had joined the Vigil during the night.

There were graduate students whose spouses would bring their children to visit and sit with their parents during the day.”

Additionally, Brodhead told community members that gaps in the criminal justice system must be fixed in order to prevent future violent deaths.

“Nothing we can do can undo the death of Abhijit, but it must be all our work to remember him and make sure such an event will never happen again,” he said.

Swadesh Chatterjee, the national president of the Indian American Forum for Political Education, expressed concern over the flaws in the criminal justice system, which were highlighted by the failures in handling recent probation cases.

“We cannot sit idle and think that it will be resolved. We cannot have this kind of crime happen in our backyard,” he said. “I think all of us as a community have this responsibility.”

He added that members of the community should contact their elected officials and implore them to improve the system.

Lo! I tell you a mysteiy We shall not all sleep, but we shall all he changed, in a moment, For the twinkling of an eye...

Perhaps these verses from Corinthians are an overstatement, but the events of the past few weeks are going to have* a profound effect on Duke. It may be impossible for a university to undergo a tremendous transformation in three weeks, but if it is possible, this is the University where this transformation will occur. The events of the past weeks could very well change the basic tenor of life here.

The news of Dr. King’s death received a mixed reception at Duke. Most students were shocked and saddened by the news. Some, however, were visibly elated. But nobody expected the tragedy to have much effect on Duke. Perhaps, there would be a memorial service or perhaps [University president Douglas] Knight would make a statement condemning white racism, but no one expected anything more.

In fact, if someone had said on April 4 that within a week Duke students would have sat in at the house of the president of the University or camped but on the quad, he would most Certainly have been considered a blithering idiot.

Duke has always had the well-deserved reputation of being a peaceful, quiet bastion of Christian morality tucked away in Durham, N.C. It has always been a pleasant, sheltered place inhabited by bright, but unconcerned people; where “nice kids” came for four years of beer, basketball and

will be an increase in student activism. Most previous demonstrations were met with disdain and scorn. Activism was little more than a dirty word here.

Yet on April 10, there were 1,500 people camped out on the quad, boycotting classes and the dining halls. Duke did not suddenly acquire 1,500radicals. Instead, the liberal, moderate and conservative elements of the University community turned out in force.

Another outcome of the vigil could be a new outlook on education on the part of many students here. Next to Duke basketball games, the greatest concern of most Duke students has been grades. During their stay on the quad, most students willingly faced a drop in grades.

This willingness to see a fall in grades does not in any way imply anti-intellectualism. Nearly everyone in the vigil considered it a valuable learning experience.

The effect the demonstrations will have on Duke’s blacks is by no means clear. At Dr. Knight’s house, the blacks seemed very pleased with the actions of the whites. They saw it as more than a statement of concern, because whites were, as Huck Gutman said, putting their bodies on the line.

After the vigil on the quad disbanded, some blacks were calling for more radical moves on the part of white students. Many wanted to see the vigil reconvened in the Allen Building. Some saw the disbanding of the vigil as a desertion of the principles of the vigil.

On the whole, however, blacks at Duke were surprised and quite pleased by the demonstrations. Whether this will have any effect on their attitude towards whites at Duke remains to be seen

As a result of the vigil, direct consultation bestudents and the Allen Building is going to become more prevalent. The Board of Trustees also became aware of how out of touch it really is with the student body. It too will be forced to become aware and responsive to faculty, students and worker demands.

The faculty will also be deeply affected by the demonstrations. For the first time in the history of the school, theyjoined with the students in opposition to the administration, sometimes placing their careers on the line. It is not only the students, but also the faculty who were roused from their apathy in the last three weeks. Just as the students must not revert to apathy, neither can the faculty.

Another result of the vigil could be a closer relationship between Duke and Durham. The emphasis here must be on “could be” because it has notbeen shown that Duke is willing to undertake this commitment.

The University has existed as almost an oasis in the wasteland of Durham. It has lived isolated from the poverty that surrounds it.

Projects like voter registration are only starting points in the commitment. Once again, only time will tell if Duke will shake itself from its lethargy or return to its comfortable Gothic cocoon.

One of the more disappointing aspects of the vigil to many people was the reaction of their parents. The “generation gap” is a term so overused as to have lost nearly all meaning, yet it became apparent to many people. Most parents were violently opposed to the vigil and many ordered their sons or daughters to leave the quad.

Many parents have the concept that any kind of demonstration is a crime and blind defiance of authority. Their thinking is totally outmoded and irrelevant to today.

The idea that everyone should spend four quiet, peaceful years in college and ignore the rest of the world is frighteningly prevalent. The fact remains that the vigil could have prevented a riot in Durham and did help change the unjust conditions under which Negro workers labored.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of the vigil will be that it not only moved people to act, it moved everyone to think.

Suddenly, the major issues of today were put squarely in front of every student. Some chose to join the vigil, while others became scabs. Everyone, however, including people who took neither of these steps, was forced to think about things more important that the tween

WOMEN'S LACROSSE

Northwestern powers over game Blue Devils by

David

Ungvary THE CHRONICLE

As Duke has developed into a perennial powerhouse, it has been rare for the team to come in as a true underdog in any contest. But facing No. 1 Northwestern Sunday afterN'WESTERN -15 noon in Koski11 nen Stadium, the DUKE seventh-ranked Blue Devils found themselves matched up against a Goliath.

The Wildcats (11-0), who have won three consecutive NCAA titles and are riding a 32-game winning streak, played faster and stronger than pesky Duke (7-5) and came away with a 15-11 victory.

Although the Blue Devils entered day’s contest having lost three straight, they were not bothered by their recent rough patch or the imposing Wildcats.

“We went into [the game] knowing there was nothing to lose and we felt really loose ready to run a different type of offense,” freshman Emma Hamm said. “They’re very aggressive so it’s just beneficial to move the ball a lot and then freelance.”

Still, Duke struggled early to keep up with Northwestern. The team looked a bit shell-shocked as the Wildcats’ Danielle Spencer and Hilary Bowen put up two unassisted goals each within the first 12 minutes.

Even after the Blue Devils scored, Northwestern’s Brooke Matthews responded with a stunning individual effort, racing from midfield and dodging Duke defenders to notch the team’s fifth goal.

But the Blue Devils bounced back Northwestern goalkeeper Morgan Lathrop made the cage look impenetrable early with several impressive saves, but by slowing down the pace of the game, Duke started to find the back of the net. Beginning with a goal by Hamm, who rolled out from the back of the cage to sneak one past Lathrop, the Blue Devils went on a 7-1 run and finished the

I

first half up, 8-6.

“I was very pleased with the first half,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said.

“We played as complete a game in the first half as we have all season.... We really were just very positive in the locker room at halftime, praising the kids for doing a great job and sticking to the

gameplan.”

But Duke had its work cut out for it in the second period as the Wildcats stormed onto the field, recording two goals in the first four minutes.

“We felt confident. We felt great about [our play], but we knew the game wasn’t over,” senior midfielder Allie Johnson said. “There’s 60 minutes in a game—we had 30 more to play. So we came out with the mentality that it was 0-0...[and] they weren’t going to roll over and die.”

Northwestern continued its strong second-half response and went up 13-9 with 13:42 left in the game off a strike from midfielder Casey Donahoe. The Blue Devils came back with a goal from Hamm, sparked from a full-field sprint by sophomore Danielle Kachulis.

But that run was made on Duke’s last legs With little left in the tank, the Blue Devils only scored once more and proved unable to mount a second four-goal comeback.

It was the fourth loss in a row for Duke—all of which have come at the hands of ranked opponents. The game against Northwestern marked the seventh time in eight matches in which the Duke squad has faced a ranked foe.

What is impressive in this stretch of defeats, however, is that the Blue Devils have avoided becoming deflated.

“We definitely took a big step today,” Johnson said. “We have kind of been in a little bit of a rut, but we put together a good performance. We didn’t win, but Northwestern’s a good team and they played well. I think we made a step in the right direction.”

Coming out of halftime ofSaturday's contest against theBlue Jays, No. 2 Duke fired 77 percent ofits shots on goal and won 5-of-8 draws, while keeping Johns Hopkins from scoring on three ofits man-down possessions.

Coach's decisions prove lucrative in big victory by

Matthew Iles THE CHRONICLE

ALEXIS

STEELE/THE

CHRONICLE

Duke pressured theBlue Jays in all four periods, but were most effective in thetime spanning the intermission, putting the game out ofreach.

In a contest that Duke expected to come down to the wire, the Blue Devils destroyed perennial powerhouse Johns Hopkins in every facet of the game. But it wasn’t necessarily because they were faster, quicker or stronger than the Blue Jays—although it often appeared that way.

From head coach John Danowski’s offensive twists, to the much-improved Q3HI6 man-down defense, to the face-off dominance against a program known analysis for its draw prowess, Duke dismantled one of its fiercest rivals simply because it was better prepared than the Blue Jays.

“We practiced all week, we worked really hard, and we came out and executed everything perfectly,” midfielder Ned Grotty said. “I haven’t seen our team this happy in a long time. The way our team played today, this is by far and away our best game.”

Danowski’s coaching abilities shined when he implemented a new offensive look that frustrated Johns Hopkins throughout the first half. Normally, Grotty and the rest ofDuke’s midfielders inidate from up top. But, after scouting the Blue Jays on film, Danowski decided to invert his offensive set several times in an effort to exploit Johns Hopkins’ weakness from behind the net.

With stars Matt Danowski and Zack Greer on the wings, the coach thought the Blue Jays’ help defense would be reluctant to slide toward Grotty when he dodged from the back. The plan worked beautifully and got Duke rolling, as Grotty was able to juke past his defender, turn the corner around the crease and fire it past the goalie three

times before intermission “We work all week on something and then to be able to implement it into the game and have it work is just a huge confidence boost,” Grotty said. “The coaches did a great job all week mapping out our game plan.... It worked out pretty well.*’ After John Danowski’s X’s and O’s helped give Duke an 8-4 lead at the half, his halftime speech incited a sixgoal outburst in the third quarter that effectively ended Johns Hopkins’ comeback chances. The Blue Devils talked about owning the first five minutes of the second half in an effort to shock and demoralize the Blue Jays, Matt Danowski said. And did they ever.

In the third period, Duke landed 77 percent ofits shots on goal, won 5-of-8 draws and turnedJohns Hopkins away on each ofits three extra-man opportunities.

Most importantly, though, the Blue Devils created easy transition goals thanks to their exceptional pressure on the Blue Jays, who successfully cleared on just two of their eight attempts.

“It’s something we pride ourselves on. Our defense does a great job on their end, and we try to carry it over by riding like the way we do,” Matt Danowski said. “We’re usually pretty pissed off when we lose the ball, and we want to get it back right away, so you can see that in the way we ride. It’s just our personality. It’s the way we do things.”

“Duke puts an ungodly amount of pressure on you,” Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala said. “We make a bad decision in a clear, we don’t pick up a loose ball, we turn the ball over on an extra-man with a bad shot. This is a team where every mistake you make is magnified.

“We just fell in line with a lot of teams they’ve handled, and they handled us tonight.”

THE CHRONICLE

M.LAX from page 9 Greer passed it to the fifth-year senior, who rifled a shot from 20 yards out past Johns Hopkins goalie Michael Gvozden to knot the score at one.

The Blue Devils scored two more to increase their lead to 3-1, but a 3-1 Blue Jay run tied the game at four.

Thirteen seconds afterjohns Hopkins’ fourth goal, Parker McKee answered for Duke. That was the beginning of a 9-0 Blue Devil run that spanned halftime, lasting 20 minutes and 11 seconds. The spurt had Duke well on its way to an unexpected blowout of the defending national champions.

“I thought it was going to be a one-goal game,” attackman Max Quinzani said.

“We’ve been practicing one goal down, two minutes left the whole week.... We were expecting it to go into overtime. I never would have thought this is how it went down, but I’m glad it did.”

A large factor in the decisive win was Duke’s faceoff play. The Blue Devils entered the contest hoping to keep the Blue Jays from dominating the faceoff battle. Behind the strong play ofSam Payton and Terrence Molinari, they won 15-of-25 draws.

That faceoff success allowed Duke to play a half-field transition game, Quinzani said, leading to the easy fastbreak goals that have become the Blue Devils’ staple this season. Those kind of strikes helped swing the momentum in Duke’s direction.

Another offshoot of the shortened field was that it enabled the Blue Devils to play a physical game. The team picked up four unnecessary roughness penalties in its dominating win.

“We wanted to play physical tonight, and I think we sent a message,” Danowski said. “Bo Carrington sends a message when he comes out and he puts their best player on the ground. That sends a message to the rest of the team that we’re not going to back down. Sometimes, we probably got a little too many penalties, but we’ll take one or two if it’s going to send a message.”

Duke’s pressure —which Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala said was the most intense he’s ever seen—frustrated the Blue Jays and allowed the Blue Devils to control the game’s tempo.

That riding was key in sparking Duke’s offense, with most of the Blue Devils’ goals coming in transition and not from six-on-six offensive sets.

“We try to manufacture goals in as many different ways as we can,” head coach John Danowski said. “We work on trying to create offense off ground balls, create offense off the faceoff, create offense*riding, and I think tonight we probably got goals in all

By onverting on its easy opportunities, Duke prevented Johns Hopkins from contesting the match’s outcome. Now, the Blue Devils hope they have shown the rest of the nation how dominant they can play when they are firing on all cylinders.

“Hopefully this will just send a mes-

sage that we’re not the same team as [we were] last year,” Quinzani said. “We can put up 25 goals against the bad teams in the country, but play against the best teams in the country and still put up g0a15....

The Blue Devils did not let the weatherrain on theirparade this weekend as they hosted the Duke Invitational at WallaceWade Stadium.

Instead, they had a working lunch to outrace Mother Nature to the end.

“We just ran one event after another. We skipped the lunch break that we normally give the officials, and wejustjammed it all in,” head coach Norm.Ogilvie said.

Despite the fast and furious schedule, several Blue Devils turned in personal bests, Redshirt-freshman John Austin set a new school record by throwing a personal best of 219’-11” Friday in the javelin. Jamie Rodriguez set the previous record in 1995. Austin managed to heave it six feet farther than his previous season-best to take first place overall in the Invitational, which included athletes from 93 colleges across the country.

Junior Bobby Weinstein also threw a personal best of209’-11” and finished in fourth place. It was the second time this year both men have qualified for the NCAA East Regional. The duo, in addition to senior Mark DellaVolpe, could serve as the favorites in the upcoming ACC championships.

“We feel like we have three of the top javelin throwers in the ACC,” Ogilvie said.

The most competitive race on the weekend was the men’s 4xBoo-meter relay Saturday. Freshman Joshua Lund, senior John Brockardt, senior Chris Spooner and freshman Cory Nanni battled the Virginia Military Institute team down to the wire, but crossed the finish line .68 seconds after VMI to finish in second place.

ALLEVA from page 9 reappointed him to his position at Duke, despite a sometimes controversial tenure.

The reappointment resulted from an extensive review conducted by a nine-person committee comprised of Trustees, alumni and faculty. The review also included feedback from 150 people on Alieva’s performance.

In light of the athletic department’s handling of the 2006 Duke lacrosse case, a 2005 steroid scandal involving the baseball team and the exit of former women’s basketball Gail Goestenkors to Texas, Alieva’s review attracted a high level of scrutiny both within and outside the Duke community.

But Brodhead’s August 7 reaffirmation of confidence in Alieva, as with all reappointments of Duke’s top administrators, came with a five-year contract extension.* In a statement released Friday, the president expressed his thanks for Alieva’s service to the University.

“I am grateful to Joe Alieva,” Brodhead said. “Duke athletics sets an example of success and integrity of the highest order, and Joe has played a key role in achieving these results. I know there are very few opportunities that could lure him away from Duke. Joe and his family have our appreciation for their many contributions to the Duke community, and our best wishes for success at LSU.” In his tenure as Duke’s athletic director, Alieva oversaw six national and 44 ACC championships—the second-most of any conference program—as well as eight top-25 Directors’ Cup finishes. During the same period, Duke boasted one of the nation’s top graduation rates, at 91 percent, and has had more members on the ACC honor roll than any other conference school for 20 consecutive years.

No interim athletic director had been named as of Sunday, and John Bumess, senior vice president for government affairs and public relations said he expected to have a better idea Monday of when such an announcement would be made.

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

For a week following Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination April 4, 1968, students gave up their time for schoolwork and social activities to promote better treatment of Duke’s service employees and improve relations between the black and white communities at the University—two ideals for which King advocated.

The peaceful protests and week-long campout on the Chapel Quadrangle by the student body, up until that time fairly docile, was enough to push Duke administrators to improve employee benefits and to bring racial problems to the top of the University’s agenda.

Although students today may prefer to tent for basketball games rather than for employee rights, student activism has not died. But students are making a difference less with their voices and more with their service work—and are doing it more in national and international spheres than within the walls ofDuke’s campus.

“Activism today is more geared towards civic engagement,” said junior Kathy Choi, Co-President of the Center for Race Relations. “The days of old school, mass protesting that we saw in the 60s are gone. But that doesn’t mean the spirit ofactivism is gone. Most all Duke students have a deep passion for something that is beyond them, whether it’s politics orservice, and their activism is much more than justprotesting or speaking out vocally on campus.”

Service activism Last September, students stormed tables on the West Campus Plaza to pick up T-shirts that raised awareness of the genocide in Darfur. The event, put on by, the Black Student Alliance, Campus Council and Duke Africa, was promoted through Facebook. Organizers followed up on the event with e-mails to keep students aware of current developments in Sudan.

“It was activism in the sense of making students more aware,” said Campus Council Communications Coordinator Hope Lu, a junior. “I think students knew something was going on in Darfur but didn’t know how bad things really were.”

This form of student activism, blending the use of the Internet, tabling and free merchandise, had a different goal than the protests that took place on campus in the late 19605. Although the Silent Vigil of 1968 was meant to pressure administrators and other students to solve the on-campus issues of race and workers’ rights, the tablets intended to persuade students that there are problems beyond the walls of the Gothic Wonderland —problems that could be solved by students.

A year ago, the University unveiled DukeEngage, a program funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as an avenue for students to pursue service projects that stretched beyond Duke’s campus. In the past, students could work with the Community Service Center or one of many smaller campus organizations to receive funding for such projects. DukeEngage, however, provides one umbrella organization in which students can receive full funding

and administrative support to take on a real-world problem of their choosing and develop a creative solution for it.

When DukeEngage was announced in February 2007, President Richard Brodhead said, “Our goal is to empower students to emerge from Duke as creative thinkers, problem solvers and innovators. Duke is already strong at producing a special kind of graduate, a person of trained intelligence who is highly knowledgeable about the world and has a strong desire to take on its most challenging concerns. Going forward, we want to make this a signature of Duke undergraduate education.”

Last summer, as part of DukeEngage’s pilot program, students traveled to Yemen to advocate for women’s rights and others went to New Orleans to help rebuild the city devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Students’ interest in these projects and the University’s commitment to them are signs that student activism is moving toward more service work and beyond the Duke bubble.

A forgotten cause?

With the increasing focus on issues outside the Gothic Wonderland, many current students are unaware that the Silent Vigil took place. Along with the Allen Building takeover of 1969, an event that many students only hear about in classes.

Last Friday, on the 40th anniversary ofKing’s assassination, there were hardly any events on campus remembering the tragic murder or commemorating the Silent Vigil.

In a public policy course this semester tided “Historical Perspectives on Public Policy,” students have explored how the issues of race, equity and activism were portrayed in the past versus how they are portrayed now.

The class, taught by Robert Korstad, associate professor of public policy and history, has focused on the Silent Vigil as an example of student activism that involved a heated issue at Duke. Korstad and his students looked at why it is valuable for students to remember the historical event.

“One of the things talked about in the class was, ‘Could this happen today?’,” Korstad said. ‘You’ll sleep out and camp out for basketball. But would you do it for a campus issue like employees’ rights?”

Last week, members of Korstad’s class displayed posters and talked with students in front of the West Union Building about race, equity and activism on campus today, in the context of the protests surrounding the Silent Vigil.

The class also explored whether modern historical accounts of the Silent Vigil may romanticize it by focusing too much on how students protested in the ’6os and not enough on the actual goals of the protest —raising awareness ofracial issues and employees’ rights.

“One of the central issues students were organizing around was better treatment and rights for Duke employees, better benefits and the possibility of unionization,” Korstad said. “Students were committed to this. The focus sometimes is more on the students and their commitment and less on the complexity of the issues on campus and the way the students were reaching out and embracing the needs of employees.”

via e-mail, said OSAF Director Chris Roby. It is then their responsibility to pass the information on to interested members of their groups, he added.

As of April 2, 18 applications had been received, OSAF Program Coordinator Leslie Grinage wrote in an e-mail.

“Groups that have requested housing this year include Wesley Fellowship, Duke University Union, Duke University Emergency Medical Services [and the] Black Student Alliance,” she said.

The groups vary from year to year depending on what they may have scheduled that summer or the following semester, she added.

Some groups, such as the Wesley Fellowship, use the program to keep organizations running smoothly between school years and to prepare for the fall semester.

“I think the two sentences may not give OSAF a truly deep understanding of what the- student is doing,” she said. “I felt the need to follow up with a phone call.”

Cloninger also added that there was no deadline for applications posted on the Web site, nor was there any information on how long it would take to get a notification of acceptance.

In the past, OSAF has had problems with students abusing the free summer housing and merely using it for storage space, Grinage said.

“There really isn’taway to ensure that this program doesn’t get abused,” she said. “We operate on the students’ word that they are using it for the purpose they state in their application.

loves Facebook. What better place chronicle party after party with pictures of the same people doing the exact same things? But oh my gosh look at that dress....

People love YouTube as well, where the basic philosophy is that you’re an idiot am so is everyone else.

Here’s a video of 'soroe MIT students singing “Don’t Stop Believing.” No one knows what we’re believing in but wheeler frost hell, don’t stop!

We live in the big wheel so-called “Information-Age” typified

by Cisco Systems commercials picturing people happily sending each other vacuous videos. The message: technology will provide meaning to your life.

But the onslaught of mass communication slowly dismantles the bonds of society. People watch television alone, go to bars with recent acquaintances, become addicted to pornography, disassociate from their families in order to “find themselves” and embark on a host of other wanderings.

Basically, people are becoming estranged from their homes.

Nothing more grossly portrays the future loss of home than Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.” The main character is a “fireman” charged not with fighting fires but with destroying all the books in the world.

One old woman prefers to die with her books rather than go on living. The fireman’s wife, on the other hand, spends all her time at home with “the family,” which is a giant room with enormous television screens.

Which is it going to be, books or TV? As Bradbury suspected, in our day and age the answer is increasingly television. Televisions, instead of creating an imaginative sense- of home, more often create fake connections with fake people.

Just look at “American Idol.” What could be emptier than trendy youths (poorly) singing the kitschy tunes of yesteryear to millions of grinning fans?

So I naturally thought it was ridiculous when, during orientation, a professor described Duke as the new home of incoming freshmen. Duke is no

athletic department need to be open to new ideas and should look for candidates with a clear vision for the program. Our teams are consistently powerful, but here is a chance to find an innovative leader like Alieva’s predecessor, Tom Butters.

Alieva’s successor will need to bring Schwartz-Butters and the Allen Building closer together—a process begun toward the end of Alieva’s tenure. , Of no less importance to the future ofathletics at Duke will be the athletic strategic plan, “Unrivalled Ambition,” currently in draft form. The new athletic director will be at the helm as this new plan is executed—and we hope he or she has steadier hands T than Alieva.

home, just a brief stop on the modern journey of

technological self-indulgence.

But what is a home?

Home is a place of family, where you can be comfortable among people wholove unconditionally. Family members provide support: they commiserate with your failings while celebrating your successes. With family you can laugh and find joy in a hostile world.

Home is a place of familiarity. The home allows people to forge identities without undertaking senseless and ephemeral introspection. By looking out the windows and seeing sturdy trees and friendly neighbors you see your place in the universe and your self reflected in the world.

Home is also a place of religion and wholeness.

You can believe in God and take pleasure in the glory of creation. A proper home is a unity such that all things take their places in a proper order. This creates a sense, even if it is an illusion, of belonging.

The best song, if you ask me, in the Talking Heads concert-tumed-movie entitled “Stop Making Sense” is called “This Must Be the Place.”

Its author, David Byrne, called it a “love song to a lamp,” but really it is a story of being happy at home.

Byrne sings, “Home is where I want to be.” It is a place to be “loved until the heart stops.” In other words, he seeks permanence in life through love and togetherness despite the nearness of death.

He sings later that “home is where I want to be but I guess I’m already there;” Home is the end of all our searching, when there is no more searching left. It’s both the beginning and the end oflife.

The Talking Heads concert reveals our difficulty in coming home and finding meaning in the modem world. Our challenge is to find a private place of home apart from the superficiality of public life.

Samuel Johnson wrote that “to be happy at home is the end of all human endeavor.” If only we could find such a place.

Such a place where the anxieties of life beckon not a little. A place to which all effort aims but where one needs no effort to live peaceably. A place where even talk and conversation are not always necessary—where glances, looks and smiles could suffice.

A place of rest and relaxation. A place to come back to. A place, in other words, to call home.

progress.When Alieva’s contract was renewed this summer, we wrote that an opportunity had been missed to inject new leadership into the department. LSU has given Duke a second chance, and the University must not squander it.

To this end, Duke should mount a comprehensive search for Alieva’s replacement, looking both externally and within the athletic department. There’s no need to rush; the approaching summer should give the committee ample time to search.

LSU conducted a hurried search to its detriment:Alieva was the only one of the four

finalists for the job who had full athletic director experience, instead of just holding a position as an assistant.

Attracting the very best candidates should not be a problem for Duke. Although the University’s high academic standards complicate the position of athletic director, Duke’s athletics program is nationally renowned and the opportunity to work with it should be compelling. Look no further than the signing of head football coach David Cutcliffe—a rare feather in Alieva’s cap—for proof of that. The new director should be eager to take on the challenge of leading a strong program at an academically elite university.

Judson

Laipply is my personal hero. Sure, he’s no New York City firefighter or Hayden Panettiere, but he’s a hero nonetheless. You probably don’t recognize his name, but I’m sure everyone reading this has seen his work.

Judson is the star of“Evolution ofDance” —the most viewed video on YouTube. How many views does he have, yoreask? Well, to indicate the staggering enormity of this number, I will activate my keyboard’s “Caps Lock” feature 80 MILLION VIEWS! AD SPACE It would take approxiWS.OWysar —

mately 14 laughing baby

FOR RENT videos to even come close to the number of views this man has monday, monday amassed But seriously, he’s but seriously just a normal guy who spliced some songs together, practiced a few dance moves and hit his camera’s record button. That’s it. In fact, that was probably the only time he hit the record button since “Evolution of Dance” is his only YouTube video. So in actuality, Judson is an unbelievably successful one-hit wonder.

He’s the Dexy’s Midnight Runners of the Web —to use an analogy only regular viewers of VHTs “I Love the ’80s” will understand.

And that’s both the beauty and insanity ofYouTube.

It is so simple that even a completely incompetent person could use it, making it a perfect site for the people who run Room Pix. Of course, Judson is not the only person to benefit tremendously from online exposure. YouTube has launched the careers of many people, including lonelygirllh, the Chocolate Rain guy and Barack Obama. I mean, c’mon, give Hillary a bikini model and a member of the Black Eyed Peas and just watch how many points she’ll rise in the polls.

This year I, myself, have gotten sucked into the world of YouTube, which is either good or bad, depending on how much you enjoy procrastination. I helped create Duke University Improv’s video “My New Haircut: Asian Edition,” which has received 2.6 million views in five months—chump change to Mr. Laipply, but still pretty significant.

Anyway, this past Saturday, Judson visited Duke to perform his “own brand of inspirational comedy.” Does that mean there are other brands of inspirational comedy out there? Does Jerry Seinfeld have his own inspiring brand—“What’s the deal with daily affirmations?”

Well, at the end of his Duke show, just as he ends

every show, Judson performed his signature “Evolution of Dance” routine and everybody went nuts, like they hadn’t already seen it thousands of times.

Afterwards, Matt, a fellow DUI member, and I went up to meet Judson. As soon as we mentioned the words “Duke” and “improv” Judson starting talking about how much he loved “Asian Edition,” even quoting the “sake bomb” line a couple of times. Here’s the kicker; As we were leavingjudson turned to us (I am not making this up) and said, “Wow, it was so cool to meet you guys!” My heart skipped 80 million beats.

Now that I’ve become legitimized by the “Evolution of Dance” guy, the question I’m sure all of you are asking is: David, how do I become a YouTube star? Well, because I am such a nice guy, I have decided to spill my secrets and reveal what I believe are the best ways to achieve YouTube fame.

1. Animals do the funniest things Got footage of a baby panda sneezing? Still have that video of a squirrel water skiing? You are in great shape to make a killing online. Cats seem to do particularly well on YouTube for some reason, perhaps because clips of cute pussycats often pop up when people search for more adult material.

2. Do something no one else would bother doing.

Are you super emo and into photography? Take a picture of yourself everyday for three years and string them all together in a spooky montage. The advantage to this strategy is that if anyone wants to copy you, it’ll take three years before they get theirversion up on YouTube.

3. Record obscure Japanese game shows off your TV. I don’t know about you, but I love watching strangers get slapped, drenched and tickled repeatedly. Plus, Asians are easy fodder for comedy—just ask the “distinguished” editors of The Chronicle.

4. Get your cell phone camera out at concerts.

Seeing a good band? Don’t dive into the mosh pit or crowd surffrom the upper balcony to the stage. Instead, stand absolutely still and record a song or two using your camera phone. Nothing beats barely being able to see Maroon 5 perform their brand-new single for 17 seconds, while hearing a girl in the background yell, “Woo, Adam Levi —I said quit stepping on my toes.”

5. Be ridiculously good at video games.

Pretty self-explanatory. Watching someone dominate “Guitar Hero” is both amazing and comforting because you realize at least one person has less of a life than you. Bonus points: Making “Halo” characters dance along to a song about cats. Obviously.

6. When all else fails, just copy another popular video.

Hey, it worked for “My New Haircut: Asian Edition.”

letterstotheeditor Displaced male appreciates RLHS efforts I am one of the four males from Craven who were displaced because of theRoom Fix miscalculation—I wanted to just add to the proposals to Residence life and Housing Services. As far as I know, neitherof the pairs were displaced to Edens. We had almost no choice in the matter, but my roommate and I decided to live on Central Campus as opposed to a much smaller room in an un-ideal location. The other pair (I believe) chose to live in a reduced triple in Crowell. This entire situation has been very unfortunate but I honesdy feel that RLHS has been working hard on this, and they have been accommodating to us. My roommate and I were offered top priority in summer reassignments as well as priority in Few Quad when it reopens. We were also told that if our blockmates wanted to be with us, they could move into Few as well. As for first semester of next year, I guess we’ll just have to deal with being two of the few (if any) sophomores on Central.

A defense of comedic and journalistic freedom I applaud The Chronicle’s April Fool’s Day farcical cover for its hilarious portrayal of various issues currently affecting Duke. I was disappointed to see, however, that some students just didn’t get the joke.

Letters to the editor from members of the Asian Students Association came across as unnecessary pleas for political correctness. I see no harm caused

by the nonsensical cover stories published on Tuesday, which I view as successful examples of “journalistic merit” in a popular genre of writing—farce. These “vicious lies” that The Chronicle published showed a beneficial use of comedy—away to address issues from an interesting, often exaggerated viewpoint in order to create a conversation around them.

ASA members also need to put their complaints into perspective, because at least they weren’t being called out specifically as some of our student government members and student organization leaders (“Ben T. Jarry,” for example) were. I feel worse for “Gordon Jiordano,” perhaps, or even “Larry Shen,” except I’d bet he’d get the joke.

-Furthermore, these stories were in no way a means of “racial discrimination.” I’m sorry, but China is not a race. China'is, however, communist. And many students from China excel at Duke. Wow, sorry to offend. But seriously, there is a substantial difference between acts of discrimination and acts of stereotyping. The Chronicle may have gone too far in a few instances, but to say that their published work is racist is an utter fabrication.

Journalism should never have tojbow down to those who are offended, because no one has the right to avoid scrutiny. We all lose from time to time at the behest of jokes; it’s just those who learn to take them with a grain of salt—orrice—that are more likely to rise above them.

(We) vote or

In

my opinion, part of moving from adolescence to adulthood is moving beyond anger or disrespect toward authority to a grudging acceptance. Eventually we realize that some form of authority is inevitable and learn to make our peace with it, working within the system instead of angrily against it.

If a college’s success is measured by how many students go through this process while attending, Duke is probably a failure.

The last two years at Duke have been defined, as far as I can tell, by a huge credibilTrSllk hollGlTldn ity gap between the official organizations of the UniverInto the fire sity and the student body.

For instance, many students don’t seem to strongly believe that the administration genuinely represents their best interests or really cares about their concerns. When the administration is talked about, it’s usually in a disparaging way, in the form of jibes about incompetence. But I think the group that suffers the most from this disdain for official bodies isn’t the administration: it’s Duke Student Government.

The last two weeks illustrated this sad fact very well. As far as I can see it, the recent DSG election showed that Duke students don’t feel it represents their interests.

The election itself could hardly be called a huge success.

You could say that since the online voting process got off to a bad start, and considering the sad state of electoral participation in the United States, a 40 percent voting rate isn’t that bad. But you’d basically be arguing that voter turnout was merely disappointing, instead of a total disaster. That is hardly a vote of confidence in DSG’s ability to inspire the student body to action.

But it’s the numbers behind that number that are most important. In the presidential election, 20 percent of voters cast their ballot for a candidate who was obviously running as ajoke (In the spirit offull disclosure, I was one of them.).

The message I draw from that figure is that only 32 percent of the student body really takes DSG seriously enough to cast a meaningful vote, which slides even closer to “disaster” from “disappointing.”

Among the other candidates, another 20 percent of the votes were cast for a candidate who, rightly or wrongly, was closely associated with the past two DSG administrations.

There was a feeling, it seems, that a certain clique had become dominant in DSG, and that the people who made up that clique had simply failed to represent the student body well. This was a stunning reversal from two years ago, when then-sophomore Elliott Wolf was elected as a regular sort of guy who would shake up the way DSG operated.

The lesson I draw from the election is that 8 percent of students are very satisfied with the current leadership style of DSG and 68 percent don’t even take the matter seriously enough to cast a meaningful vote. Yikes. Can we really say that DSG is serving one of its major purposes —representing the interests of the Duke student body to the administration—with this sort of result? I suppose one could point to the other executive board election outcomes to say that my analysis is incomplete. Of course, half those elections were unopposed, none of the other three was as well publicized as the presidential election, and they all suffered from low turnout.

It seems the student body either doesn’t care about DSG or finds its record so entirely disappointing that it doesn’t deserve truly serious consideration. Ironically, the result of this view is that, even if DSG had been representative of students’ interests before, these horrible election results make DSG even less representative, less credible and ultimately less effective in its major role as liaison to the administration.

Since spring 2006, having some kind of representative who can reasonably present student opinion to the administration has become incredibly important. But when a mismanaged and flawed election parallels a mismanaged and flawed West Campus room selection problem, the image of DSG as a tool ofreform or a microphone for student opinion has become tarnished. I think the new administration will have a tough job in restoring—or in fact creating—student faith in student government.
