Ally Helmers THE CHRONICLE

Despite the sounds of hammering and arrangements of yellow tape on Main West Quad, the renovation ofFew Quadrangle is only 8 to 10 percent complete, site superintendents said. “A project of this nature and scope, in my opinion, should be allowed approximately 10 months for completion. We have seven,” Wes Foushee, project executive for LeChase Construction Services, which is overseeing the project, wrote in

an e-mail. “LeChase loves a challenge.” Foushee added that the 116,000 square-foot renovation was progressing as scheduled, with students able to move in as early as Dec. 29. Around 120 to 200 people are working on the project every day, increasing to 300 people at the project’s “peak,” Foushee said. Construction workers are working 10 to 12 hours a day, six days a week to complete the job in fewer than SEE FEW ON PAGE 22

Felker, editor of 44th volume, dies at 82 Long before the rest of the world discovered Clay Felker’s brilliance, Felker honed his talent and devoted his journalistic acumen to The Chronicle as editor of its 44th volume. Felker, the founder of New York Magazine, died July 1 in New York. He was 82. His experience at The Chronicle was modest compared to his future endeavors—creating a magazine about the city that enthralled him and editing a stable of writers that reads like a Who’s Who of New Journalism, among many others—but it was in these pages where he foreshadowed the rest of his career. He was expelled from the University in

1948, the fall of his editorship, for keeping his future wife out past the Woman’s College’s curfew. When he was readmitted in 1950, Felker crawled back to his home in newsprint, where he used the pedestal of a column so effectively that he was almost dismissed again for exposing controversies in 1951, the year he graduated. He later catapulted to bigger and better publications —Life, Sports Illustrated and Esquire were his first three stops after Duke. Still, Felker’s legacy lingers in the halls of 301 Flowers, The Chronicle’s office, where he became a writer, an editor and a man.

McCain, Obama bolster support DUHS replies to hydraulic before they battle for the state fluid lawsuit EugeneWang THE CHRONICLE

Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has compared rival Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack

Obama to former President Jimmy Carter on numerous occasions, an apparent counter to Obama’s comparisons of McCain to President George W. Bush. McCain, however, might hope Obama does not emulate Carter’s 1976 presidential campaign in one respect; Carter was the last Democrat to win North Carolina—a state pundits and campaign analysts have singled out as a potential battleground in this year’s election. North Carolina holds 15 of the possible 538 electoral votes in the presidential election. A candidate needs 270 or more votes to win the presidency. Both candidates have indicated thatNorth Carolina will be important in the election. Obama kicked offhis general election campaign June 9 in Raleigh with a speech on economic policy. McCain spoke with prominent evangelist Billy Graham and his son in Montreal, N.C. June 29. Several factors align the Tar Heel state squarely with the Republican candidate’s electoral base. North Carolina is home to Camp Lejeune and Fort Bragg —the second-largest military base in the country—which should benefit McCain, a former prisoner of war. Additionally, the state is considered socially conservative and voted forBush in 2000 and 2004, by

a margin of 13 and 12 points, respectively. This year, the Obama campaign hopes to change the state’s profile. The Illinois senator’s electoral base counts on blacks, young voters and college-educated adults. The black population makesup more than 20 percent of thestate’s 8 million residents, and urban centers like Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte, also hubs of higher education, are likely to vote for Obama. A political transitionfrom red to blue is likely to happen in North Carolina, said Jerry Hough, James B. Duke professor of political science. He pointed to the state’s changing demographics—increasing numbers ofyounger voters and a growing Hispanic population—as evidence that Obama could carry the state. Hough added that Obama’s economic positions are likely to appeal to middle-class voters who have been hurt most by the weak economy. “The two Southern states that [the Obama campaign] has the best chance of winning in [are] Virginia and North Carolina,” said Bruce Jentleson, former foreign policy adviser to A1 Gore and a professor of public policy studies. “Right now, McCain is on the defensive for North Carolina and Obama is on the offensive.” Republican strategist Marc Rotterman, however, said he is skeptical of Obama’s chances in North Carolina.

Duke University Health System requested arbitration with Aramark Management Services in a complaint dated June 12, citing damages exceeding $75,000 from a breach of contract stemming from a 2004 hydraulic fluid mix-up. Additionally 18 patients represented by Raleigh attorney Henry Temple filed suit June 30 against DUHS for negligence and fraud, asking for an unspecified amount for compensatory and punitive damages. DUHS recently settled out of court with more than 60 patients represented by law firm HensonFuerst for an undisclosed sum. For two months in late 2004, DUHS physicians used surgical instruments that were mistakenly cleaned with hydraulic elevator fluid to operate on 3,648 patients at Durham Regional Hospital and Duke Health Raleigh Hospital. Numerous patients who were treated in November and December 2004 alleged that they suffered health problems as a result of the mix-up. “We appreciate and understand that some of the plaintiffs may have physical problems for any number of reasons, including the fact that they had adverse health conditions necessitating surgical procedures to begin with,” DUHS officials said in a statement in response to the patients’ suit. “And, while we feel we can say with certainty that any exposure to the sterile instruments in question did not cause physical injury, it is our sincere hope that these people get the best medical care and are restored to good health as soon as possible.” In the suit against DUHS, the patients allege that Duke concealed and misrepresented information that would have helped them receive care for the physical problems they suffered allegedly because of the incident. They also allege that Duke attempted to cover up the incident by not reporting it and by destroying evidence. But Duke’s complaint accuses Aramark—which provides maintenance and services for DUHS’s clinical equipment and oversees the surgical instrument washing system—of failing to recognize that the petroleumbased fluid was substituted for detergent and to correct SEE SUIT ON PAGE 8

The Durham Police Department announced that it is making headway in investigating a spate of crimes in the city that occurred from January through May this year. Durham residents Trey Brown, 18, and Scott Eakes, 19, were arrested June 20 by DPD in connection with numerous armed-robbery and assault incidents. The victims of at least two of the robberies—one on Dacian Avenue and the other on Watts Street—were Duke students, said Kammie Michael, public information officer and public relations coordinator for DPD. She added that Brown and Eakes were being held on $2.5 million bonds. The pair had their first court appearance June 23, and they were slapped with 75 additional charges June 26 for breaking and entering, larceny and other crimes. DPD Chief Jose Lopez held a press conference the afternoon of the arrest, and he cited boredom as the teens’ reason for committing the crimes. Lopez said the two suspects were affiliated with a local gang, but added that investigators did not think the spate of robberies were gang-related, according to a June 26 WRAL report. DPD investigators found and arrested Brown and Eakes at their homes after receiving tips linking a silver Toyota 4Runner with several robbery incidents, Michael said. She added that DPD is currently investigating the two teens’ connection with several other robbery and assault incidents In addition to the five robbery-related crimes, Brown and Eakes were charged with theft of a scooter and a May 24 shooting. They are also being investigated for a shooting incident that occurred March 6 near Northgate Mall, when several shots were fired from a nearby park into a crowd of passengers waiting for a Durham Area Transit

New and returning students this Fall may find the Gothic Wonderland’s entertainment ratcheted up with new programming, including alternative rock and bellychurning jokes, slated to kick off the semester. The Duke University Union’s Major Attractions committee will bring indie rock quartet The Hush Sound to campus Aug. 20 to headline the Union’s first-ever orientation concert. The show, which will be free to all Duke students, will take place outside on East Campus Quadrangle in order to be more accessible to freshmen, said Major Attractions Chair Vincent Ling, a senior. The concert will mark the first time DUU has brought a performer to orientation. Last year, the first concert in mid-November was headlined by Regina Spektor. “This is just one of the new ideas we had to reach out to new students,” Ling said. Two weeks later, DUU will welcome comedian Russell Peters to Page Auditorium Sept. 5. The DUU Major Attractions and Major Speakers committees teamed with the Asian Students Association and Duke Diya to cover the costs of bringing Peters to campus, Ling said. “This show is a collaboration by four student groups in an effort to broaden the performing arts scene at Duke

A student special costing more than |6 at the Refectory Cafe and no more fish fillets at The Loop are just two of the changes students could face if campus eateries alter their menus and prices based on recent market inflation. “We have not formed a strategy yet,” Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said. “We’re hoping the price of gas comes down, but the anticipation is we’ll do the normal 3 to 3.5 percent increase [per year] based on the Consumer Price Index.” The U.S. is struggling with the worst food inflation in 17 years, forcing many grocery stores and eateries to increase their prices. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, food prices rose 4 percent in 2007, compared to an average 2.5 percent annual rise in the last 15 years. Wulforst said all changes to on-campus vendor menus and dining hall prices will be reviewed and finalized at a Dining Services meeting in August. “We’re going to try not to raise prices on most items, we’ll watch and see how the market plays out because it will level off at some point,” The Loop owner Dennis Lane said. ‘You can’t operate a business and lose money on items—the model doesn’t work.” Harvard University pulled whole grain pasta from its dining menu in May, despite its $35 million endowment and reputation as one of the wealthiest colleges in the nation. The university also substituted

cherry tomatoes with wedges and chicken breasts with thighs. While some colleges have steadily increased menu prices, others have eliminated trays on the theory that students will take less without them. For Duke, Wulforst said he plans to avoid any portion or size decreases. “The last thing I would want for any of those vendors to do, though, is compromise in quality because that’s usually what happens—to buy a cheaper grade in milk, cheaper grade in eggs,” he said. In the last three months, the price for a case of eggs has increased from $25 to $35 and the cost of frying oil has nearly doubled, he added. Reports from the U.S. Department ofAgriculture show that costs of milk and dairy products Jumped 13 percent in the last year and chicken and other poultry nearly 7 percent. In addition to market inflation, Wulforst said high gas prices are also taking a toll on total costs with newly implemented transportation surcharges anywhere from

$5O.

Laura Hall, owner of Bon Vivant Catering, which operates the Refectory, said the restaurant has maintained steady prices for three years and hopes to absorb as much of the cost increase as possible, but some of the costs will have to be passed on to customers. “What we’re trying to do now is negotiate with suppliers and farmers and hopefully have considerably more volume and SEE FOOD PRICES ON PAGE 12

SUIT from page 3 the problem after receiving complaints Raleigh about oily tools.

Duke Health

“Aramark’s staff were called back on multiple occasions throughout November and December of 2004 to investigate and deal with the issue,” the complaint reads. “Aramark’s staff inspected and handled washing equipment when it was operating using hydraulic fluid as detergent, yet they negligently failed to ever ascertain that the problem for which they were calledin to investigate was due to hydraulic fluid being used as detergent.” DUHS also alleges that Aramark repeatedly and incorrecdy assured officials that the problem had been fixed. Representatives from Aramark said they do not comment on matters of pending litigation. University officials declined to comment on the complaint against Aramark. In Fall 2004, an Automatic Elevator Co. employee drained hydraulic fluid from an elevator in Duke Health Raleigh into empty buckets labeled as detergent for surgical instruments. Employees from medical suppliers Cardinal Health 200, Inc. took custody of the containers and transported them back to Duke Hospital, Durham Regional, Duke Health Raleigh and Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Only Durham Regional and Duke Health Raleigh, however, used the fluid. The color of detergent is typically milky, but photographs showed that at least one bin that officials later confirmed contained hydraulic fluid had substance the color of “maple syrup,” according to a June 2005 report by the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. DUHS officials have maintained that the surgical instruments were not tainted by exposure to the fluid and wrote in the complaint that Aramark’s alleged negligence may have resulted in tools that were “potentially contaminated.” An independent analysis performed in June 2005 concluded that the sterilization process was not compromised in disinfecting the tools prior to operations, although the hydraulic fluid exposure left them oilier than normal. Sterilization follows the initial washing process and involves rinsing the instruments at high temperatures and then disinfecting them in a 270-degree centigrade oven, according to a June 2005 letter from DUHS officials to hospital staff. The complaint against Aramark cites a mandatory arbitration agreement stipulated in the contract with Aramark that requires the company to compensate DUHS for costs, damages and expenses thatwould stem from a negligence of duties. “DUHS has paid more than its pro-rata share of the common liability arising out of the hydraulic fluid incident and is, therefore, entitled to contribution pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 18-1 from Aramark, which has paid nothing,” the complaint reads. Aramark Management Services has not been the target of patients’ lawsuits regarding the incident. Dozens of patients filed suit June 17 against Cardinal Health, which sold and delivered cleaning supplies to the hospitals, and Steris Corporation, which made the sterilization washers to clean the equipment. The patients who were potentially exposed to the tainted supplies are seeking more than $30,000 each from the companies for compensatory, treble and punitive damages. Some spouses of the patients are also seeking $lO,OOO in damages. Aramark employs ServiceMaster Management Services as a provider of professional facilities management to hospitals and healthcare facilities, including DUHS. The University had teamed with Philadelphia-based ARAMARK, Corp., of which Aramark Management Services is a part, as a campus food vendor for five years. ARAMARK was replaced by Charlotte-based Compass Group in Fall 2006 to manage Duke dining, following criticism from students and administrators over poor quality and services, overpricing foods and absorbing profits instead of redirecting them to Duke dining. DUHS created a Web site—http;//hydraulicfluidfacts. dukehealth.org—in 2005 in response to concerns about the hydraulic fluid mix-up. Officials state on the site that in order to prevent similar occurrences in the future, DUHS has established systems to track and monitor containers and have suppliers alert users when they notice that container seals are broken. Additionally, Duke created a new policy which requires that all containers 5 gallons or larger be destroyed after use and that labels on open containers be defaced with a black marker.

Carson case

THE CHRONICLE

Phillip Caldroney listens to his Walkman under a small awning on a hot June day in Durham, one of approximately 175 people on a given day who call the red-brick Urban Ministries shelter home. This past year, the number of homeless in Durham increased by nine percent, in line with national trends and the increased closures of state mental health facilities, said Edy Thompson, director of the 10-YearResults Plan to End Homelessness in Durham. Because there is no registry to declare homelessness, the number fluctuates from night to night. On a recent Point in Time count, an in-person survey done by volunteers and law enforcement agents, the count totaled 590: 412 men, 105 women and 73 children. Of those, approximately twothirds have substance abuse problems and more than 10 percent are HIV positive. But homelessness is not limited to a certain personality or background, as echoed through the warnings of those at Urban Ministries, the largest shelter in Durham. “Drugs are an equal-opportunity employer,” Caldroney said. “I come from a very wealthy background, and [homelessness] happened to me.” Narcotics, disabilities and familial issues drive people from normal lives into a cycle of homelessness and despair, Urban Ministries’ residents said. “My ex kicked me out... and then refused to give me anything out of a 25-year relationship,” said Claudette Daniels, who recently came to the shelter from western North Carolina. “If I could’ve gotten a lawyer and could’ve gotten what was rightfully mine out of the relationship... I wouldn’t be in the situation I’m in.” Last year, Durham began a 10-year plan to eliminate homelessness by concentrating on diminishing the effects of problem situations, Thompson said.

Attorney Bob Ekstrand, Law'9B, has worked on several high-profile student cases. His services range from offering advice to filing lawsuits.

their behalf. He has workedwith students on a number of high-profile cases over the last few years, including those involving conflict between the Durham Police Department and students. Currendy serving as a lecturing fellow at the School of Law, Ekstrand said his long-dme ties to the University have attracted him to the opportunity to advocate for its students. “We are all Dukies here, we have a personal affinity for students—we were all once there before,” he said. “But what we saw happening beginning a few years ago was frightening and troubling to me.” Ekstrand said he believes there is an emerging pattern of abuse by DPD against students. “We care about the school dearly, so when we see bad things happening to students we take it very seriously,” Ekstrand said of his law firm. “There is no question that it has been a tough few years for Duke students in the sense that I think it is very unusual for any Duke students to go out with their friends and not run a very high risk of having an encounter with law enforcement—whether they engaged in criminal activity or not.” On Feb. 27, Eric Halperin, Trinity ’OB, answered the door of his 1026W. Trinity Ave. home to sign for a DHL delivery package that, unknown to him, contained 27 pounds of marijuana. DPD officers believed the package was ordered by Halperin and entered the house to perform a search for drug paraphernalia. “What I understood happened was that the raid happened and therewas an overwhelming show of force, it was a SWATstyle complete with black outfits and guns,” Ekstrand said. Around 6 p.m. that evening, after Halperin had been detained, the other residents of the house paid a visit to the lawyer’s firm. Additionally, one of the residents called his mother for advice soon after the raid, Ekstrand said. The mother sought advice on the Internet blog Liestoppers, a

Since January, the city of Durham has had a seat at the table of the University’s top administrators—a place occupied by Phail Wynn. Wynn, former president of Durham Technical Community College, joined Duke seven months ago as vice president for Durham and regional affairs, a position charged with strengthening the relationship between the University and the Bull City. Durham Mayor Bill Bell said the creation ofWynn’s position conveys much about Duke’s commitment to Durham. “I think the fact that Duke has chosen to create the position is in itself a statement,”Bell said. “Itjust remains to be seen how much progress can be made, but I’m hopeful.” Wynn began his term by evaluating the ways in which Duke currently reaches out to Durham, and he said he discovered that much of the work done by departments on campus was undocumented. “Duke’s impact on Durham was much greater than people suspected,” Wynn said. “We’re moving right along and I think that before 10ng... I’ll be able to better align our resources and better coordinate the efforts we have with the identified needs [in the community].” From that initial assessment, Wynn has begun to embark on a number of projects of his own—many of which have a scholastic bent. This year, under Wynn’s guidance, the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership has placed an emphasis on academic enrichment and youth development. Thirty incoming kindergartners and 15 struggling first graders will

How Durham crime affects Duke students she by

Ally

Helmers and

Julia Love

THE CHRONICLE

An acceptance letter came as a moment of disbelief, a burst of excitementand a sigh of relief. But a few months later, incoming freshman Übong Akpaninyie was in for a surprise when scanning his brand-new Webmail inbox. There was no word on who his roommate would be or where he would be living, but rather news of a trio of robberies that had occurred just off campus during Summer Session I and tips on how to ward off criminals, courtesy of the University. “I was shocked about the crime sprees,” Akpaninyie said. “I hadn’t really researched the crime in the city [before]. Duke doesn’t have a reputation for violence.” Although most students said they feel safe on campus, periodic up-ticks in crime can cause them to call their safety into question. The month of January marked the murder of engineering graduate student Abhijit Mahato, the separate armed robberies of a graduate student and a Duke employee, the near-robbery of a recent Duke graduate and, in the greater Durham community, more than 30 robberies targeting Hispanics. Gun violence and homicide rates in Durham have been on the rise for the past year. High-profile college campus murders like those of Mahato in January and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson in February have helped spark a heightened fear of crime. Students are affected by city crime as well as crime on and immediately off campus. In October, a 22-year-old man was stabbed to death at Northgate Mall, a shopping center near East Campus that some students frequent. Four other people have been killed or injured on the mall’s property since 1999, Durham Police Department representatives said. Crime is an aspect of the city that is difficult to address

on a campus tour, but it is something that registers on many students’ radars at least occasionally after move-in day.

DPD and Violent Crime The city of Durham encompasses approximately 200 square miles of Durham County. Just two square miles of the city, however, comprise DPD’s Durham Target Area. Nicknamed the Bull’s Eye, the northeast central part of Durham is makes up the highest proportion —20 percent of the total—of shots-fired calls, gang memberresidences and violent crimes committed with firearms. Although violence in the city is often random, gang-related crime accounts for much of the city’s violent crime, said Joel Rosch, a senior research scholar at Duke’s Center for Family Policy. DPD’s target crime area is home to four separate gangs, including the Bloods, Crips, Folk Nation and MS-13, a Hispanic gang that originated in El Salvador, as well as eight separate subsets of each gang. Durham County as a whole also faces a chronic gang problem. Twenty-nine gangs have been identified and more than 1,000 individuals have been documented as gang members or affiliates by various reports. Most of these members are between the ages of 19 and 29. “Certainly it’s important to have special units that are designed to attack this specific problem,” said Maj. Steve Mihiach, DPD’s assistant chief of the Special Operations division. “Uniformed patrol officers do not have time to deal with specific problems.” Consequently, DPD and Durham County Sheriffs office purchased Gang-Net, a repository of national gang intelligence information. Not all of Durham County’s law enforcement, however, is able to effectively use the technology, the grant application said. In addition, law enforcement agencies operating in Durham County lack sufficient resources to place staff in the Bull’s Eye area to address gang crime, Mihiach said. The North Carolina Street Gang Prevention and Intervention Act, a bill to further the state’s efforts to reduce juvenile gang activity, is pending in the state legislature. Particularly following Carson’s death, suspi-

That threw us behind curve,” Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said foil ing the announcement of the $2.5 million Compreben Anti-Gang Initiative grant Wake and Durham countiei ceived this year from the Department of Justice, accon to WRAL. Over the next three years, funds from the gram wil aimed mostly toward prevention and education effort well as target law enforcement resources and rehabilitai of convicts to return to society. Raleigh-Durham is om four municipalities in the nation to receive the gram, in dition to six sites that received funding when the Anti-G Initiative debuted in 2006. “If you are successful with prevention and interventi then that will decrease the job by police officers for supp sion,” said James Howell, an adjunct researcher with the tional Youth Gang Center. He said the most difficult part of attacking the issu getting people organized and working in the same direct against crime. With the help of the $1.25 million split Durham receh from last month’s federal grant, city officials hope to set a curriculum about gang education, Howell said. He adt that the biggest problems grow “in the cracks of our citie with family problems and a poor North Carolina put school system helping to lead juveniles into court. “The gangs themselves are stronger in communities w the most deleterious conditions where community crii rates are high and where lots of kids have individual pu lems, most prevalent in the East side of Durham,” he said.

Collaborating against crime Violent crime has acted as a common denominator universities in the Research Triangle Park. The hues of Duke and Carolina Blue bled together Spring, allegedly at the hands of 17-year-old Lovette. He been charged with the murders of both Mahato and Can along with Stephen Oates and Atwater, respectively. Latrese Curtis, a senior at North Carolina Central I versity, was found dead on the side of 1-540 in Wake Cot in January. She had been stabbed nearly 40 times and also have been sexually assaulted, according to an ante report. The three institutions, still mourning the deaths of students, are now banding together to identify and reme the sources of youth and gang-related crime.

morning briefings with DUPD DUPD, however, has suffered from extensive attrition, losing nearly 50 percent of its force since January 2006, which some officers told The Chronicle in April could affect how well the department protects students. At least four officers have left DUPD in 2008, and the University has hired Sibson Consulting to study the problem. Safety has long been a top concern for graduate and professional students, the majority of whom live off campus and beyond the reach of many of Duke’s safety measures. At a January forum on crime, graduate and professional students emphasized the need for an extension of the areas covered by Safeßides and other Duke-affiliated transportation programs and the need for better lighting in Duke parking lots and in other places around Durham. No new safety measures addressing these concerns have since been announced. Dean referred questions on the matter to Charles Catotti, interim director of parking and transportation services, who could not be reached for comment. Because of the Few Quadrangle renovations and the resulting housing crunch, many first-year international graduate students new to the United States have been denied space on Central Campus for the 2008-2009 academic year, said Alethea Duncan, president of the Graduateand Profeshike’s response to crime [he University has a number of programs that encoursional Student Council and a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate students to venture out of the “Duke bubble” and in chemistry.

feared violent crime at the beginning of the Spring semester—and felt the University could have done more to ensure her safety. “You heard about [crime] all the time, it was in all the papers, but it felt like nothing on campus changed to reflect that,” Fricke said. “It felt like students weren’t really the top priority in that situation.” Rosch explained that students’ perception of their safety is skewed by a few highly publicized events, like the Mahato and Carson murders, but noted that Duke is generally a safe campus. “The probability of being harmed at Duke is pretty low compared to most other places,” he said. “Very few crimes occur on campus. Is Virginia Tech a safe place? Yes, but if you’d asked people six months ago they would have said something very different.” Additionally, sophomore Lindsey Wallace attributed much of campus crime to a lack of awareness on students’ part. “There’s only a small wall between real life and real crime and the bubble of Duke,” she said. “We’re next to a metropolitan area where there’s a lot of poverty and a lot of crime, and we need to act accordingly—which I think a lot of people don’t do.”

Although breaking in a new room for some freshmen consists of breaking a sweat in 100-degree weather to construct a loft with comfort in mind, the experience will be different this year. Residence Life and Housing Services is requiring students to purchase lofts from vendors rather than build their own, citing safety concerns with homemade structures. The new policy, approved in June, will take effect this Fall for residents on East Campus and in Keohane Quadrangle. It will take effect for all other West Campus buildings next year, including those buildings where lofting is not currently permitted. Campus Council leaders said the policy undermines their efforts this past Spring to implement lofting regulations that members said was an ideal compromise between safety concerns and flexibility. Campus Council was not informed of RLHS’s decision until the policy debuted online. “All along we were having a very candid discussion until the latest resolution was made publicly to our surprise,” said Campus Council

Rising textbook prices pinch students’ wallets by

Ashley Holmstrom THE CHRONICLE

When students return for classes in August, they may need to brace themselves for shelling out hard-earned summer funds for their syllabi-specified texts. Rising college textbook costs have recendy been the subject of pending legislation in Congress, editorials in national newspapers and non-profit organizations. Textbook prices have nearly tripled since the 1980s, an April editorial in The New York Times said, highlighting a need for universities and professors to take further action to help students save money when buying their books. Bob Walker, manager of the Duke Textbook Store, said he has observed rising costs but added that certain factors prevent the store from reducing prices. He noted that

among other measures to keep costs low, used books from wholesalers can be sold at only 25 percent less than the cost of a new book. “Textbook prices have been rising for 20 years, though they have risen above the inflation rate over the past few years,” he said. “We try to keep prices low and maximize the amount of used books from students and from wholesalers.” Older used books can be sold for considerably less, but custom-made collections are the most expensive because of the need to obtain copyright permissions, Walker said. Although these copyright fees have doubled or tripled over the past five years, he said ultimately they may still be cheaper than the price of the individual books

Vice President Kevin Thompson, a senior. RLHS approached the student organization during the 2006-2007 academic year to analyze safety concerns associated with self-made lofts, after which Campus Council passed a resolution this past February and sent a revised memo to RLHS about the issue in May, Thompson said. The revised memo recommended dial RLHS implement a waiver or permit system for studentswho wish to build theirlofts. Joe Gonzalez, associate dean for residential life and Campus Council adviser, said administrators had safety concerns about self-made lofts that were not quelled by the recommended waiver policy. “Even though students have built lofts in the past, you just don’t have the same level of certainty that [the safety level] is the same for each and every one,” Gonzalez said. “The waiver has its own merits, but we didn’tfeel like that was the way.” Housing services has ordered extenders for low loft beds in she East Campus dormitories and seven West Campus quadrangles, SEE LOFT ON PAGE 25

The day after his testimony, The Chronicle’s Shuchi Parikh spoke to Schroeder about why he believes OLC lawyers overstepped their bounds in recommending the Guantanamo interrogation methods. The Chronicle: You mentioned in your testimony a need for OLC attorneys to differentiate between being advisers and policy makers. Can you explain why this separation is important? Christopher Schroeder: It’s important for policy makers to understand what the legal constraints are on their policy, and ifyou think

you’re a policy maker, you’re more

inclined to confuse those two. Law is supposed to act as a constraint on what an individual is free to do, but if you think you’re managing both the law and the policy you’re

much more likely to blend those two

TC: Can you explain briefly how the interrogation memoranda violated the 10 “best practice” Guidelines for OLC lawyers you referenced? CS: It doesn’t appear that the people who read it consulted enough with other Executive Branch lawyers in the State Department or in the Immigration and Naturalization Service or in the criminal division of the Justice Department. All of those people would have experience in interpreting torture and it’s not clear they were talked to.

Nasher hires development head The University’s central artistic institution has a new leader responsible For its growth. Kristen Greenaway has been appointed director ofdevelopment and external reladons at the Nasher Museum of Art and stepped into the role June 23, Kimerly Rorschach, the Mary D.B.T. and James H. Semans director of the museum, announced June 30. “I’m very pleased to have foundKristen, with her fundraising experience, knowledge of international markets and nose for creative partnerships,” Rorschach said in a statement. “Kristen will be centrally involved as the museum grows in its role as a vital cultural resource for University students and faculty, the Durham community and visitors from around the world.” In addition to overseeing fundraising for the Nasher’s en-

dowment, Greenaway will design and manage programming initiatives, such as promoting awareness of the museum and increasing its membership. “I’m thrilled to join the Nasher Museum and help build upon its relationships with cultural institutions, art collectors and philanthropists around the world,” Greenaway said in the statement. Greenaway, a nativeofNew Zealand, has more than 20 years of experience in project management and fundraising, having worked with companies around the world. Greenaway most recently worked as director of development with Sigma Xi, a nonprofit research society in Research Triangle Park. She succeeds Rebecca Swartz, who had been the museum’s director of development and external relations since July 2005, who will be on maternity leave and return to work part time as a manager of special projects in development. —from staff reports

Construction crews are renovating Few Quadrangle to double each room's electrical capacity and overhaul theair conditioning system.

FEW from page 1 six months, said LeChase’s site superintendent Robert Young

In comparison, the renovation of Kilgo Quadrangle, which the firm also managed, took place over summers from 2002 to 2004. Young said the extensiveness of the Few Quad renovation makes it difficult for workers to finish on time without devoting so many hours. “We are pretty much on schedule,” he said. “We are 60 to 75 percent complete with [the demolition]. We’ve run into a few challenges, but nothing we didn’t expect.” The $2O-million project, which began May 5, was approved by the Board of Trustees last winter to double the electrical capacity in each room and overhaul the air conditioning system, said Eddie Hull, dean of residence life and executive director of housing services. Few is expected to re-open next Spring and will house students returning from abroad. Five selective living groups that typically reside in sections of Few Quad were displaced by the project, but all landed on West for this year. Hull said selective living groups would not move back into Few Quad until the 2009 school year. According to The Chronicle’s calculations, if the project does not finish to free up the dormitory’s 438 beds, the University could lose as much as $2,998,280 in revenue from housing costs, accounting for singles, doubles and triples. In addition, it could mean a further loss of $935,220 for 438 on-campus basic dining plans at $2,145, because students living off-campus are not required to purchase the on-campus dining plan. Although the University had planned a renovation of Crowell Quadrangle as its next project, consultants identified mold readings in Few Quad to be significantly higher than they should have been, Hull told The Chronicle in October. Young, however, said construction workers have not found mold of any kind in the quad, and Foushee noted that ductwork and sealing may have taken care of the problem before LeChase stepped in. “The mold issue was temporarily taken care of last summer, but the conditions still existed that would permit it to come back unless the system was renovated,” Hull said. “Few, like Crowell and Craven, needs to be renovated. Long-term correction of HVAC in Few was the tipping point that moved it ahead of the other two.” The Few Quad reconstruction will try to achieve a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver certification by optimizing energy use and recycling opportunities. Every University construction project since 2003 has been designed with LEED standards in mind, and Duke currently has 20 certified buildings. “We will be providing more students with the opportunity to go green,” Young said. He added that the hardest part of the construction thus far has been making sure the building meets all state standards. Amenities with which the building was not originally designed are also being added, including installing a voice-activated fire alarm system, wireless access throughout and a complete renovation of the building’s bathrooms, which will also make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Smart Home targeted the achievement in six categories, earning credit for its green roof, irrigation system, photovoltaic panels, waste management, indoor environment quality and innovation in green education. Smart Home residents collaborate on projects ranging from building rainwater cisterns to designing a roof covered in plants and solar cells. Projects are designed to discover the “smartest” solution to problems—not simply the solution involving the most sophisticated technology. “The Smart Home is one ofmany outlets outside of the classroom,” said current Smart Home resident Jesse Fryt, a junior. “It allows ideas and creativity to flow and lets students apply what they might or might not have learned in class.” MAYA ROBINSON/THE CHRONICLE In addition to researching and developing smart tech- Awarded the highest green rating by the U.S. GreenBuilding Council, the SmartHome allows residents to work on projects seeking "smart" solutions nologies, the Smart Home strives to set an example for to everydayproblems. Duke currently has 20 buildings certified by theCouncil's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system. future buildings. One of the many goals of the home is to show the public how to live in an environmentally sustainable manner. “We’re now able to demonstrate that it really is both feasible and comfortable to live in a LEED platinum-rated house,” Fryt said.

LOFT from page 19 Gonzalezadded. Starting this Fall, students in these dormitories desiring a high loft bed can request RLHS to install extenders at no cost RLHS plans in the future to install furniture so that any student can loft their bed upon request, Gonzalez said. Additionally, beds in the newly renovated Few Quadrangle, slated to open next Spring, will all have high lofts—another move Campus Council opposes, saying it leaves students with fewer options. Campus Council representatives also cited cost as a barrier to their enthusiasm for the new policy. The loft prices for the two vendors recommended on RLHS’s Web site run between $l4O and $240. Self-made lofts typically cost less than $lOO, said Campus Council President Molly Bierman, a senior, “To achieve the increased certainty that we’re achieving with [the new policy], that does outweigh the cost that gets involved with it,” Gonzalez said. “But also as we continue purchasing furniture for our halls, eventually all students would have the opportunity to request a high loft.” Thompson, however, said the policy is extreme and leaves students with fewer and less safe options. “Complete prohibition doesn’t necessarily yield the right results, but rather careful regulation and the conscientious implementation of safe practices is what will actually yield safe results,” Thompson said. “Definitely for the next school year when students cannot afford to spend $240 on a bed post they’re going to build their own and won’t do it safely.”

HOMELESS from page 9 vention, job training and insufficient permanent housing, among other major concentrations, Thompson said. Currently, they are working to educate the community, which suffers from many misconceptions, among them a tendency to link the homeless with crime and

panhandling.

What Durham lacks is an escape from the shelter, with severely limited transitional bed space necessary before people can truly become independent and self-sufficient, Thompson said. She said part of the problem is disproportionate resource use by the chronically homeless, who only account for approximately 10 percent of the population of homeless yet drain 70 percent of the resources. Issues related to homeless youth also have yet to be tackled, occasionally leading them to gangs and subsequent crime in their search for a stable community, she added. “There are a lot ofyoung men coming here,” said Michael

Wilson, an Urban Ministries resident. “[The shelter] don’t provide no kind of outreach for them—no one to guide and lead them around here.” Wilson added that he still tries to do his part and help out in whatever way possible, though his efforts can only reach so far, because he—along with many others—cannot yet leave the shelter because of a lack of financial

stability.

Wilson, along with others, said they are grateful for the shelter’s programs and accessibility and give back when

possible. Though Urban Ministries’ bleak exterior may make it seem less inviting, residents who tout their time sober and emanate a sense of hope and excitement for the future credit some of the shelter’s recovery programs for changes they have made to their lives. “Life is what you make it—you get lemons you make lemonade,” said Maurice Worley, another Urban Ministries resident. “My great grandma is 99. She said, ‘Baby you can be in the dirt, but you don’t wallow in it —get up and then move on.’”

The Medical Center received the second-highest amount of research million—from funding —$388 the National Institutes of Health in fiscal year 2006.

Research campus looking into health and nutrition by

The new North Carolina Research Campus, located in Kannapolis, N.C., has started projects examining health and nutrition.The campus is a collaboration between the Triangle universities, other schoolsand area firms.

Several major research initiatives led by Duke are already up and running at the new North Carolina Research Campus, currently under construction in Kannapolis, N.C. The David H. Murdock Research Institute, which is located within the campus’ 311,000 sq. foot David H. Murdock Core Laboratory Building, is conducting research in various areas of health and nutrition. A full-time team of Duke researchers is working in Kannapolis for DHMRI, said Dr. Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of Duke University Health System. Dzau said he first met the campus’

benefactor, billionaire businessman David Murdock, when the project launched in 2005. “He had a'grand plan to raise money from the state government, and we told him that Duke would definitely be interested,” Dzau said. DHMRI’s first major initiative, funded by Murdock’s $35 million donation to the School of Medicine in September 2007, is a project known as the M.U.R.D.O.C.K Study—the Measurement to Understandthe Reclassification of Disease of Cabarrus and Kannapolis.

College Board edits policy on SAT submission by

Christopher Ross THE CHRONICLE

Beginning with the March 2009 SAT, the

College Board will allow students to choose which scores the testing agency sends to prospective schools—helping to calm the nerves of some high school students preparing for college. As in the past, students can take the test numerous times, but now they can choose to send only their exam with the highest score. Students will not be charged extra to submit more than one SAT score. They will not, however, be able to select individual math, verbal and writing section scores to submit but rather must report test scores from a single sitting. “This makes it less stressful for students,”

said Milton Little, a Durham educational consultant who helps high school students prepare for college. “It’s all about allowing students to have more control over their admissions package. The College Board is realizing colleges and universities, such as Wake Forest, are changing their admissionsprocess. And at the same time, they are trying to keep up with their main competitor: the ACT.” In May, Wake Forest University announced that they will make the the SAT and ACT optional for its applicants beginning with high school students graduating in 2010. At Duke, the admissions office uses a numerical rating system over six categories for applicants, one of which is standardized testing. “Our policy on the rating system is to only

use the highest score,” Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said. “The number of tests a person takes has no

bearing. Standardized

test results are only of and part determining getting a feel of an applicant’s academic nature and potential.” Until 2002, the College Board had a program called “score choice” for the SATII. The program was ended in part because it seemed to favor wealthier students who could pay for test preparation and improve their scores. Analysts said the new policy will also likely favor such students. The ACT, Inc. has permitted students to only send their highest ACT test score for manyyears. Perhaps as a result of this policy and the increasing number of schools that accept

the ACT in place of the SAT, the ACT has seen steady gains in the number of test takers in the past 10 years, from approximately 960,000 in 1997 to about 1.3 million in 2007. Among the high school class of 2007, almost 1.5 million students took the SAT. The majority of students take the SAT twice and only about 15 percent take it three times or more, Litde said, adding that the new policy will not detract from the integrity of the test. “This is a two-edged sword which saves students from carrying the burden of one bad test day, but on the other hand, it encourages students to take the test over and over again,” said Robert Schaeffer, public education director for the National Center for Fair and Open Testing.

only work with [the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill], that some of the experiences they had with Duke’s clinical research practices were disturbing—the words she used were ‘reminiscent of Tuskegee,’” Lombard said. “[l] do not believe this was based in reality, but in this world, sometimes perception is as important as reality.” The perception may stem from Duke’s private status, as Lombard said Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center has similar town-gown strains. But DUMC’s strengths and weaknesses vary across departments, as evidenced by rankings within the School of Medicine. The School ofMedicine was rated in the top 10 of 126 schools in the 2008 U.S. News & World Report for family medicine, internal medicine, geriatrics and AIDS, but did not appear in the top 10 for rural medicine, women’s health, drugs and alcohol abuse and pediatrics. Duke’s comparative lack of leadership within academic disciplines regarding rural health and drug and alcohol abuse—issues that affect the Durham and North CaroUna communities, according to county and state health departments—may corroborate a weakness in the Health System. Dr. Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of DUHS, said the disparity can be explained by the fact that each school and medical center has an individual area of focus. “Different schools have to have [a] different emphasis—it can’t be everything,” Dzau said. “I don’t think we need to figure if it’s a shortcoming or n0t.... Duke has a great reputation and is cutting edge, and I think we bring together the research, clinical care and education—and we provide community care.” The Health System has been a leader in providing some of the highest-quality specialty care in the nation, with expert physicians, equipment and resources to boot. Patients from all over the country and world seek the Medical Center for innovative higher-level care. Indeed, Duke provides community care through two hospitals—Durham Regional and Duke Health Raleigh —as well as its local clinic, the Private Diagnostic Clinic. Each has a patient base with more than 80 percent from the home and surrounding counties or North Carolina, providing much of the care Duke Hospital may not accommodate.

The Textbook Store makes an effort to cut prices by “I still thinkwe’re here to serve the students and we’re here asking professors whether they will reuse books in later for convenience,” he said. “We get the books on time and acsemesters, which allows the store to pay students a higher curately process the orders.... That’s what we really focus on.”

Abalancing act Although Duke receives greater recognition for its national name and specialty care, leaders within the Medical Center emphasized that Duke’s local and national reputations go hand in hand. “Really, it’s the work you’re doing locally that gets you the national reputation,” Friedman said. Duke’s Private Diagnostic Clinic offers private care to the local community from faculty members in the School ofMedicine. John Robinette, assistant director of the PDC, said the clinic maintains a local reputation simply by respecting patients and balancing resources between the community, county and state. Duke began a partnership with other hospitals July 1 to increase coverage of uninsured Durham residents under Project Access. As part of the program, Duke has pledged to provide 2,000 physician visits to the uninsured —a move that will greatly increase access to specialty care for the bulk of patients at Durham’s Lincoln Community Health Center, said Dr. Evelyn Schmidt, the center’s director. Lombard said Project Access is a good example ofhow Duke can reach out to community members by sharing and ceding power in a meaningful way. “That was the one gap. Not the education, not the collaboration—the access to specialty care,” Schmidt said. “The big gap is now hopefully going to be covered for the most part with Access The Medical Center’s Division of Community Health has more than 30 outreach programs providing care and management services to the local community, said Susan Yaggy, the division’s chief. The programs assist patients in multiple stages of the health care process, from prevention to helping patients follow-up with their treatment. The division has 16 outreach locations throughout Durham County. Lombard said the Medical Center should also provide resources to improve the health and wellness of the community on a more holistic level, such as through safety, nutrition and improved quality oflife “This allows a full range of response more in the form of stewardship—nurturing the community that hosts us, supporting the community through increased resources and increased understanding of the community in which many at Duke find themselves for such a brief time,” he said.

EKSTRAND from page 11 Web site created in response to the 2006 lacrosse case, where bloggers referred her to Ekstrand. Matt Goldman, Trinity ’OB and another resident of the house, said he knew before the incident that Ekstrand had a reputation as one of the top legal counsels available to Duke students. Goldman said he was impressed with Ekstrand’s ability to relate to the students in the aftermath of the police raid as if they were his own children. “He kind of gets the feeling that [DPD] is not always thorough in their investigations,” Goldman said. “He knew right away that we were innocent.” Ekstrand said his law firm works to help students who are more interested in vindicating their innocence than simply having their charges dropped by enrolling in a firstoffender’s program. “When you enter into a first-offender’s program your case gets dismissed when you do the community service,” he said. “We look for ways to raise the issue, to move to suppress the

evidence that was obtained illegally, to try a case on its merits. It takes a whole lot more work than signing someone up for a first offender’s program, but we found it was more important to litigate the case and demonstrate their innocence.” All drug-related charges against Halperin were eventually dropped, and a month later all of the residents of the house were cleared from wrongdoing. The experience was the latest in a series of legal episodes in which Ekstrand has provided legal advice to students. In 2005, Ekstrand represented some of the nearly 75 students who were cited by Alcohol Law Enforcement agents early in the school year. Ekstrand also represented several members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team. In December 2007, he filed a lawsuit on behalf of three unindicted members of the lacrosse team against the University, the city of Durham and others. The lawsuit alleges that the pursuit of the charges against the three teammates not only wronged them, but also points to a wider pattern of mistreatment against Duke students. Durham attorney Bill Thomas, who represented Halperin as

well as members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team, said he respects Ekstrand’s reputation and quality of work as a criminal defense lawyer after working with him on several cases. Thomas added, however, that he has not noticed an increase in the number of Duke students arrested byDPD in recent years, noting that many are consistently arrested every year. “I have been representing Duke students for 28 years now,” he said. “I can say that the Durham police can tend to arrest Duke students at a disproportionate number in relation to other schools and the flow of students into my office has been substantial.” President Richard Brodhead and Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, declined to comment for this story. John Burness, former senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, could not be reached for comment. Ekstrand said it is sometimes difficult to manage his respect for the University with cases that often bring him into conflict with Duke’s administration. “I love the University and the University is only the students. Its land and its buildings are nothing without them.”

New Duke, UNC German program set for Fall debut by

NaureenKhan THE CHRONICLE

Professors from the German departDuke and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have reason to congratulate each other this summer. After four years of planning and lobbying, the programs at the two institutions have merged to form one of the largest German departments in the country at a time when many humanities fields at some institutions have faced funding cuts. In extreme cases, universities have done away with some of their foreign language departments altogether, such as Drake University which cited dissatisfaction with classroom effectiveness in 2001 and the University of Southern California, which shut down its German department this year. Starting in Fall 2009, graduate students will have full privileges at both Duke and UNC, including access to fellowships, research support and a minimumDuke stipend. “Drops in enrollment in German language programs across the country have put pressure on our departments to remain relevant,” said Ann Marie Rasmussen, associate professor of German languages and literature who led many of the negotiations. “Faculty have been looking at ways to remain valuable and productive.” Incoming students will apply to enter a single graduate program, take courses at both institutions and receive degrees from the joint department, which will employ proximately 16 full-time faculty members. In addition, they will be able to teach introments at

ductory German courses at both universities, allowing them the rare opportunity to work with students from both a public and a private university. “I think the idea is that by merging the two programs, it’s going to keep the German programs viable at both institutions,” said Richard Bensen, a graduate student in the German department at UNC. The merged program is particularly innovative in that it was conceived by the faculty at both institutions and then pitched to administrators, said Clayton Koelb, chair of the department of Germanic languages and literatures at UNC. “This wasn’t something that some dean or provost or president came up with. This was a faculty initiative,” Koelb said. “We in effect sold it to the administration. It’s rather different from other kinds of program mergers that you hear about which are generally like hostile takeovers. This was something that arose with the faculty out of a sense of collegiality, feeling like they were engaged in a single enterprise.” Rasmussen lauded the ease with which Duke and UNC administrators embraced the idea of the joint program. She added that she hopes this innovative collaboration will inspire other humanities departments to think of creative solutions to the problems they face today. “We hope that this can be a model not because people should do things exacdy the same way, but we hope thatthis is a model that humanities faculty can use to work through their own problems,” Rasmussen said.

ULUDML from page 1 partnering with international institutions for

years, he noted. “We have been approached by foreign institutions, and that’sbeen an incentive for us to get more involved,” he said. “And one of the things that we’ve realized is that you can’t say ‘no’ too many times.... We didn’t want to be the first ones on the block, but we didn’t want to delay too long.” Merkx cited Duke in Venice, a partnership with Venice International University that launched eight years ago, as the University’s first significant collaboration overseas. Each of the graduate and professional schools is pursuing partnerships abroad as well. In particular, the School ofLaw is exploring a site in the Middle East, Merkx said. The benefits of international sites are fourfold for the University, Lange said. Global outposts help Duke attract the best talent worldwide, rapidly escalate the University’s global prestige and provide students and faculty with new opportunities, he noted. But above all, global outposts put the University’s commitmentto promotingknowledge and bettering society to work, Lange added. “We’re not in this for the money,” he said. “It’s the education and the research talent and the impact goals.” That said, Duke is actively looking for financial partners to help fund the global outposts, Lange noted.

Making Duke international internally Since Duke set its sights on going global, the proportion of international undergraduates on campus has increased precipitously. Just 1.5 percent of the student body hailed from abroad in 1992, but almost 10 percent of the Class of 2012 is of international origin, Merkx said. The expansion of financial aid for those’ abroad has done much to boost the number of international students on campus, International Admissions Counselor Jennifer Dewar said. Admissions officers made their first trip to India last Fall, and Dewar said they hope to travel to Eastern Europe, Africa and Southeast Asia too—areas which are traditionally underrepresented in Duke’s student population. Duke has responded to the arrival of more students with the creation of a number of international centers that compete

nationally for funding. Merkx said. .

The existence of these centers is critical because international students can present special challenges for student affairs, Vice President for StudentAffairs Larry Moneta said. International students often come to Duke with very different expectations of the services to which they are entitled, Moneta noted. The University made a number of special accommodations for sophomore Grace Wang, a Chinese student who was at the center of an international uproar when she attempted to act as a mediator at a ChinaTibet demonstration on the Chapel Quadrangle April 9. Wang criticized the University for being slow to support her in an interview with CBS News that aired May 10, but Moneta noted that Wang is just one case student affairs has handled in recent years. “We have dozens and dozens of examples of how the presence of international students has required us to really change our practices and be individually accommodating,” he said. “While [Wang’s] situation had the most visibility and press, it was not necessarily the most complicated situation we have dealt with. Students have to be able to survive academically when their support network is elsewhere.” Moneta added that with an increasingly large and diverse international student population, the reverberations of nearly any natural disaster across the globe will be felt acutely on campus. Beyond emotional support, the University is also providing legal and technical assistance to a group of Chinese graduate studentswho are collecting donations to build the Duke Hope School, a facility that will educate students whoseschools collapsed in the Sichuan province following the May earthquakes. Lange said such humanitarian efforts do much to promote the University’s name abroad, but emphasized that the added prestige is only a fringe benefit. Merkx acknowledged that internationalization is a delicate balance: The University must be wary of spreading itself too thin as it stretches its boundaries. The Cross Continent MBA program will send students all over the world, including a two-week stay at one of the University’s new outposts. But Merkx noted that the program will conclude with a four-week course in Durham, where diplomas will be awarded. As the University eyes the globe, standing in awe of the Chapel is an experience all those with a Duke degree will share—for now, at least.

ELECTION from page 3 “It’s not a practical strategy that Barack is trying to employ,” Rotterman said. “Barack’s values and beliefs are out

Rival presidential hopefuls Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama are looking at North Carolina as a potential swing state in November.

of tune with the average North Carolinian.” The Obama campaign announced in early June that it will pursue a “50-state general election strategy” by deploying and maintaining staff in all states. Campaigns tend to focus their resources on swing states—those with a large population of independent voters and with a record of aligning with the winning party, said Frederick Mayer, director of graduate studies for public policy studies. “All strategy has to be directed toward winning the 270th electoral vote,” said David Rohde, Ernestine Friedl professor of political science. “While North Carolina is not likely to provide that, it is possible.” A June 10 Rasmussen poll put McCain ahead of Obama by two percentage points in the Tar Heel state. Although the race between the candidates is close in North Carolina, several other states—such as Michigan, Virginia, Florida

and Ohio—have garnered more attention as key swing states because analysts believe they are more likely than North Carolina to provide the winning vote. “If the Obama people can put a lot of pressure on North Carolina that requires a response by the McCain campaign which it cannot afford, that gives [McCain] less resources in those states which are more likely to provide the 270th electoral vote,” Rohde said. Rotterman added that McCain needs to perform well in political bellwether states like Ohio and Pennsylvania—in addition to winning most of the Southern states—in order to win the election. “As Ohio goes, I think, so may go the nation, particularly because of the economic situation,” Rotterman said. Although North Carolina is likely to be closer between the Republicans and the Democrats than in years past, some political observers question the importance of the state’s electoral votes. “We’re sort of like a team on the bubble to get into the NCAA [Tournament],” Democratic strategist Gary Pearce said. “We’re not a first-tier battleground state.”

RESEARCH from page 29 The Duke Translational Medicine Institute, which aims to convert scientific discoveries into real advances in health, will also conduct research at the new campus, said Victoria Christian, chief operating officer of DTMI and executive manager of the M.U.R.D.O.C.K. study. “Duke’s actual presence on the campusis still cm era' but it is likely to be a substantial presence,” she said. “We certainly don’t want to build in redundant capabilities. We have to find the right types of engagements —things where you need extremely rarified high-technology equipment.” Duke will occupy the North Carolina Research Campus in conjunction with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University and other state institutions, as well as various private companies. “We don’t have a school of public health at Duke, but we have as allies an extraordinarily strong school of public health at UNC,” Christian said. “We don’t have a veterinary school at Duke, but through N.C. State we get access to one of the top-five veterinary schools in the world. And there are things that Duke has added and developed that we think we can bring to the collaborative.” Dzau said opportunities for students would be available at the research campus in the future. “We certainly welcome students —right now the team is mainly made of physicians and technicians,” he said. [The campus] offers a whole spectrum of [opportunities] we would generally give students in clinical trials.” Christian added that there were not yet any formal plans for student involvement, but there could be opportunities for postgraduates and potentially undergraduates to do work in the laboratories. Karen Whichard, marketing director and primary media contact for the city ofKannapolis, said the research campus would be an importantpart of the city’s transformation from a southern textile town to a modern technological center. “It is going to be wholly transformational,” she said. “The research campus puts an economic engine [for new jobs], right in the middle of downtown.”

New ACES to debut July 15 with additional services by

Christopher Ross THE CHRONICLE

Students waking up early for 7 a.m. course registration will soon be greeted by an unfamiliarWeb site. A new version of ACES, as well as its faculty/administrator partner STORM, goes live July 15 and will tout a more userfriendly layout and enhanced services for students planning their four years at Duke. “In 2000, when we first brought up the People Soft student information system, they did not have a viable self-service component for students, staff or faculty,” University Registrar Bruce Cunningham wrote in an e-mail. “We wanted to provide a web based self-service feature so we built our own ACES for students and STORM for faculty and staff.” Since then, People Soft has created a self-service for students and staff that is integrated with the firm’s existing student information system. Once the bookbag feature and several other features were added, Duke felt the newest version was superior to the current ACES, which Duke developed, said Cunningham. “The planner is the major difference... [it] can be linked to the advising system so students will be able to look for classes that they need to complete pre-major requirements,” Cunningham said. “The planner will be a ‘live process’ that can be adjusted as students’ needs and interests change.” In addition to new planning features, the new ACES adds a “What If’ feature that enables users to create multiple long-range plans and will no longer require a PIN to register for courses. A number ofaesthetic changes will mark the new platform’s

that is due, such as financial aid forms. “The underlying system is the same, the same data is present,” said Kathy Pfeiffer, director of Student Information Services and Systems, the office that administers ACES. “We are providing students and faculty with a more advanced and convenient self-service.” The site, however, does take away one familiar aspect of the current ACES. The graphic calendar display will not be available on the new version, but the information will be exportable to applications like Google Calendar, Pfeiffer said. “The new ACES will be very different... and it will probably take some time to get used to, but I don’t think we’re losing anything significant.” Cunningham said. “The graphic schedule display is a bit differentfrom what we had built, but it has some benefits the old version didn’t have, such as holidays and final exams built into the schedule calendar.” Cunningham and Pfeiffer presented the new version to the Duke Student Government in March as well as student focus groups throughout the Spring. “I enthusiastically welcome the introduction of the new program but will hold my applause until I and other students have had the opportunity to test the system for ourselves,” Vice President of Student Affairs Lauren Maisel, a senior, wrote in an e-mail. ACES will be shut down from July 10 to 14 in order to install the new system. Course registration for the Class of 2012 was moved from July to June to accommodate the switch.

Dear

minded initiative presents a significant investment, both financially and in building Duke’s international prominence, but Duke would hopefully see significant returns in increased selectivity and prestige. Naturally, the project is still only a proposal, and many concerns about the initiative’s success need to be addressed. It will be important that Duke learns from previous failures in creating similar satellite campuses and succeed where Yale and NYU did not. Moreover, Duke has its own failures to learn from: It has been nearly a decade since the University announced it would launch the Fuqua School of Business Europe in Frankfurt, and

five years since Fuqua began scaling back resources and dropping facilities after lackluster interest. It is likely that undergraduates will not know the effects of these outposts, so the initiative should purpose itself to balance priorities to undergraduates and graduate students alike. But even if the benefits are not immediately clear, Duke’s display of an international consciousness promises certain benefits to the Durham campus. It is foreign and perhaps uncomfortable to consider that a Duke degree could be conferred to someone who has never set foot in Durham. These campuses, though, could facilitate tapping resources Duke does not of-

fer currently, deepening the educational experience for Duke students everywhere. The world is a lot smaller than it used to be. For a modem university, that prompts finding new opportunities to increase cultural literacy and effectively communicating in an international sphere. Establishing these hubs of academia in foreign countries accomplishes both prerequisites to success in a shrinking international sphere. Moreover, Duke should strive to continue to be on the cutting edge of international affairs. Pathbreaking is certainly never easy, and to continue to compete as peer -institutions follow suit will be critical to expanding a solid reputation to the rest of the world.

The weight of words

readers,

Sixty years ago, in The Chronicle’s 44th volume, Editor Clay Felker wrote that a news story’s greatest attribute was accuracy. Before the whiz-bang!s he drew from Tom Wolfe’s pen, before the stories he wove into New York Magazine, he was on this campus, considering the weight ofeach word put into newsprint and assuring it was worth the paper on which it was printed. chelsea allison Felker taught from the editor’s desk reporters to quesdon suppositions and insist that letters were clearly indicated, down to each name and point of punctuation. To get it almost right was—and is—unacceptable. Felker could write, measuring the ink for each story told symphonically, like a carillon of copy. But wanting this paper to do more than simply showcase fine writing, Felker urged The Chronicle to watch. For features. For pictures. For names. “The eyes and the mind must see correctly before you can write correctly,” he wrote on page three of The Chronicle’s 1948 staff manual, just after the journalist’s creed. More than half a century later, our staff is still faithful to Felker’s standards: We recognize the significance of your statements and treasure your confidence. On this volume’s staff, there are worshippers of words, disciples of diction and those who delight in the right turn of phrase. After all, it was Felker who once penned a lede about Duke’s football team that perhaps no one here has topped: “Like Harlem dice, Duke’s loaded.” To be sure, each sentence he crafted and copyedited was also loaded with meaning, and in the

name of Felker, who nurtured our newspaper into the record for campus thought and action, accuracy will always be the most prized part of our

publication. Though on any given day we’ll certainly budget a mouthful, there will always be space here for your dialogue. So send a letter to the editor. Give us a call. Come up to 301 Flowers. In the meantime, we hope this issue, weighted down with our words, sparks some of your own. Flip to Sportswrap to see how Mike Krzyzewski’s Olympic stint will translate to building the Duke brand at home and abroad. Pull out Towerview, The Chronicle’s monthly magazine, for the word on what to look for in the coming year, kicking off its 10th anniversary edition with everything from an Abu Dhabi dateline to the first post-Kennedy operation interview with Dr. Allan Friedman. Curl up with recess, our weekly arts and entertainment section, to unwind with exclusives from the American Dance Festival, celebrating its 75th year, and music and movie reviews. And don’tforget to check back with our Web site, www.dukechronicle.com, for frequent news updates and blog posts. We want The Chronicle to be more than just words, for the arches of letters to buttress truths and challenge them. In The Chronicle’s 104th volume, we’re striving to get it right—to cradle your candor into each crisp cut of copy. Let us know what you think. We’ll be watching.

I’m two weeks in, i Claimy I16Will and I can already say, “When I eat unclean watermelon and gUCSt Column need to go to the bathroom, I like to read Playboy Magazine.” Progress. Duke in China is one of several “language pledge” programs that require students to only speak the language they study. There are a few problems with this. First, vocabulary regarding lewd magazines aside, my Chinese sucks. Strangely enough, I managed to amble my way into a Chinese major at Duke without being able to say things like “She is nice,” “Check, please!” or “Please do not enter my room, I am not wearing clothes.” This leads to some very strange conversations with the locals. For instance, trying to tell a waiter my friend was allergic to peanuts, I can only hope I said something along the lines of, “If you put the salty-flower in it, his face makes red and he die. You kill him.” At the same time, speaking only Chinese requires the systematic destruction of my ability to speak English. I’m sure some psychological study will tell you that your brain’s capacity for vocabulary is zero-sum. So for every Chinese word I learn, I lose an English one. If I gain a Chinese “What do you think of the reforms of 1978?” I must, in turn, lose an English “Golly gee, do I love capitalism!” Combine this ever-shrinking English vocabulary with a habitfor using foreign grammar structures, and this give you not-happy time. Fortunately, when the worstpoint to me be reached when that the English words from my mouth makes not good, I make the attempt to write this column. Needless to say, this language pledge fell rather safely in the “cons” column when I was deciding whether or not to study abroad, nesded between “I do not like Chinese food” and “I am too tired to fill out this application.” To be perfectly honest, I came into Duke closed to the possibility of leaving the country for extended periods of time. Central campus is far enough, thank you very much (For those of you who don’t know, Central is just a smidge further from main West Campus than China). I was more anxious than excited about the prospect of studying abroad, and certain.

to Duke. You may not be tired of hearing that yet, but give it a few months. Speaking of tiresome, get ready for the triptych every freshman grows to dread; What’s your name, I3GtGr f"O3VOr where are you from and £ wasiolek and whats your major? If you 3.11116 CrOSSIII3II aren’t asked some variant of that trio a dozen times guest column by the end of the first week, we’ll buy you a latte at Cup AJoe’s. Up until very recently, you have probably been preoccupied with urgent college-related questions: How can I get into Duke? Should I even go to Duke? How in the world am I going to pay for Duke? Importarit questions, but they are behind you now (unless the Bursar e-mails you, in which case there is the not-solitde matter of those tuition bills). What is in front of you is an amazing opportunity and a crucial question too many students fail to ask: How are you going to get the best out of Duke? In our experience—more than 40 years collectively working with students here at Duke—we have seen too many students miss out on the best that Duke has to offer. In fact, after seeing too many talented students setde for a mediocre education simply because they didn’tknow how to navigate their campus, we wrote a how-to guide on the subject: Getting the Best Out of College. Perhaps someone already gave it to you as a graduation present (though hopefully not as a substitute for a “big” present). If not, here is a sampling of some of the points we make to get you started: It’s a different world. The techniques that got you through high school are not likely to carry you through college without modifications. Courses will have a considerably higher work-load, with far less day-to-day oversight and feedback from professors. In addition, many subjects are taught differendy in college, with more analysis and critical thinking required and less memorization of simple data. Extracurricular also tend to be more demanding; whatever number of clubs you managed comfortably in high school, halve it and that is at least a good starting point for college. Be creative about having fun. Believe it or not, lots of students miss out on the best fun at Duke. Sometimes they •

ly not buying into the whole “It’s a life-changing experience and gives me a whole new perspective and blah blah blah” mantra. Call me a cynic, but something about a place where

you can’t drink the tap water just scared me. Unfortunately, the “pros” column had one big bullet point snarling at me: “You’re approximately zero classes into your major, Danny. You will not graduate in four years unless you jumpstart your studies this summer.” So here I am. Well, I hate to break it to all my fellow cynics; I’m having the time ofmy life. I might even go as far as to say that I’m living that sappy mantra about changing perspectives right now. There are few people in this world who can say that they’ve slept in a tower on the Great Wall, eaten a delicious meal in a hole-in-the-wall dumpling bar for 60 cents, and gone clubbing in a Beijing student district all in 24 hours. The amount of amazing things to do in Beijing is staggering. From the big stuff, like seeing the Forbidden City firsthand (which sort of negates its forbidden-ness, thus making it the Permissible City), to the small, like watching people point in front of them to signify the past. I’m truly having the time of my life. At the risk of sounding like a chump, I’m really experiencing a part of the world I may not have many more opportunities to see, and one-fourth of the way through the program, I’m already glad about my decision. Okay, that’s out of my system. Now for the take-home lesson: We’ve got a lotof opportunities at Duke, so take advantage of them. A good chunk of you reading this are standing on the precipice of that black abyss we call college, and if you’re anything like I was, you’re overwhelmed and anxious. That’s cool. The amount of doors Duke opens is, in fact, overwhelming. So walk through some of them, peek in some of theirkeyholes, jimmy the lock on one or two, heck, you can even crack open the writing for The Chronicle and use extended, tacky metaphors... door. If you’re ready to have a blast in college, the door is open to you. To deliver the final blow to the dead horse, as it were, the Chinese word for door is men. Now I can finally say, “Please place the Playboy Magazine under my door.” Progress.

miss out because they sell out for lowest-common-denominator fun, where “good times” are measured in kegs and shots. Others miss out because they promise themselves they will do nothing more than study and attend classes. Those oaths have the same half-life of vows to a summer crush. At Duke, you will have more freedom than you have ever had, especially when it comes to free time. Use it wisely. Experiment with some extracurriculars you have never done before. Join in some of the best Duke traditions. Even better, invent some new ones. Expand your safety net. You will discover that you and your parents’ instincts can sometimes be an unreliable guide to college life. (You have probably already assumed that about your parents, but it’s probably true for you, too.) We have repeatedly encountered students who stress over things that are less important (do I like my roommate?) but disregard things they should be more thoughtful about (is this the best professor I can take this semester?). And far too many wait until it is too late to get help—academic advice, counseling support, medical assistance—because they think they will be able to manage it on their own. Duke’s ample campus support networks are here for a reason, and you’re already paying for them anyway, so you may as well take full advantage. There are so many other ways for you to get the best out of Duke. Like: develop a four-year strategy for developing professional relationships with your professors that gamer a couple glowing recommendationsand maybe even a valuable mentor. Or don’t even think about going back home the first weekend you can, no matter how few clean clothes you have left (do wash them, however, especially you freshman guys). The basic point is this:You may be tempted to rest on your laurels because, let’s face it, you worked very hard to get into Duke. But our advice to you is to work just as hard to get out ofDuke. Ifyou do, you will get the best out of college and, at this place, that is something very special indeed. •

all the same.” That line is from a song called “Litde Boxes” by Malvina Reynolds, who wrote it in 1962 as a criticism of suburban conformist values. In a sense it reminded me of Duke. Now the Duke environment is undeniably diverse, and with that breadth of difference comes difficulty in fitting any of us inside a neady defined “box.” Nonetheless, after awhile here some of us look around and realize that we’re falling Km into the same patterns and routines as everyone around us. We look around and realize that most of the people in our dorm are either pre-med ade a. sawyer or fumre Hankers or consulit s me maybe J tants. We ve quickly learned to work all week, get drunk and party from Friday night (Thursday ifyou’re lucky) to Saturday, rest and do some work on Sunday, and start over on Monday morning. We faithfully go to the Marketplace around the same time every day to eat with the same people and gossip about who was seen going to what dorm this past weekend. We pick up The Chronicle and read at least two references to the lacrosse case and three swipes at Larry Moneta every week. For the incoming freshmen I should mention that all these things aren’t necessarily bad just because they can get kind of monotonous. In fact, if they’re the things that you’re really into, then by all means you should pursue them.The problem comes in when you begin to feel like you’re conforming just to fit in or live up to some standard that may not even exist I know. You think that because you made good grades in high school you can handle anything that peer pressure and other social pressures can throw at you. But in case you’re one of the realistic few, here are a few tips for staying box-free: (Note; These are all completely products of my own mind and they might be complete BS, but you’ve read this far so you might as well finish.) 1. Stay Grounded. This one is kind of obvious, but I think we tend to disregard the obvious things first. Between the East Campus wall and the Duke Forest, it’s easy for Duke to really feel like its own little (Gothic) wonderland. If you wanted to, you could easily spend your four years here without ever venturing beyond campus. Because we tend to be so insular here, it’s easy to forget about the world outside of Duke. Staying grounded by keeping up with the news, your family and friends from home can remind you that the gothic wonderland isn’t the only important thing in life. 2. Prioritize and Consolidate. In high school you were probably all things to all people. Youcould make good grades, have tons offriends, play sports, be involved in the arts and do community service with no problem. Unfortunately, for many people, so many of the cool things that they wrote about in their applications start to disappear in college. To some extent that’s a good thing, because all of those things weren’t particularly important to you, but some of them are. Rather than letting most ofit go, you might be better off figuring out what you can afford to lose and what you have to keep. 3. Learn in Class. People like to talk about the fact that much ofwhat you leam in college is outside of the classroom, and to some extent they’re right. But if you draw a strict line between what you leam in class and whatyou leam outside of class you’re going to miss the opportunity to apply the things you study to your life. The whole point of learning things in class is to use it outside of the classroom in the future, so you might as well start now. There’s such a breadth of knowledge distributed here that ifwe all applied academic lessons to real life there’s no way anyone could think we’re all the same. 4. Be an Active Participant. Everybody changes in college, as they should, but Duke shouldn’t change you—you should change at Duke. By that I mean you should recognize that various forces around you will attempt to manipulate and shape you, but ultimately you should shape yourself into the type of person you want to be when you leave here. Naturally, your experiences here will help to guide you, but in the end it’s about you as an individual. Further, there should be a reciprocal relationship between you and Duke. Duke will help to change you, but you can change it as well. Ultimately, you’ll be the one who determines whether you come out “all the same.” -

Every two years, the Olympics capture a fan’s attention like no other sporting event, and every two years, I’m pleasandy surprised that my growing cynicism is curtailed for at least three weeks. What doesn’t surprise me anymore, though, is the reason we become enraptured by the biennial games. Almost everyone has a rooting interest. Now, you have a new team to root for in Duke. For some Olympians, the gold medal is more of an expectation than a fool’s ambition. While the medal is the tangible relic of success, I think the more rewarding prize for these athletes is the jMp knowledge that for at e 11 least a four-year period, they are considered the best in the world. The group of Dukies in Beijing this summer is expansive. Favorites and underdogs, heralded and obscure, American and not, they’re braided together by a common thread: they’re all Blue Devils. We all have our own metaphorically elusive but attainable gold medal. For some, it’s hearing a national anthem blare throughout the Olympic Village. For others, it’s producing a high-quality newspaper 146 times a year. Naturally, the Olympic spirit has infiltrated the back hall of 301 Flowers, the home ofThe Chronicle’s sports department And in that manner, we have the same goal as the athletes and coaches we cover. We want to be the best. So enough of me, when you have enough stories to last you until August—the glorious time campus is abuzz with the promise of new beginnings and, of course, the Olympic torch is lit. I am proud to welcome you to the sports coverage of The Chronicle’s 104th Volume, to introduce the 26th installment ofSportswrap and to kick off a year in which we’ll all be going for gold. **

IfI could offer you only one piece of advice as you embark upon The Greatest Four Years of Your Life, not wearing blue face paint would have to be it.

pages, the True Life story I’m about to admit could be considered even more g, dare I say heretical, than of these. My name is Meredith Shiner, md I am a former Duke hater. I admit this dirty little secret knowing it likely will evoke the wrath of online commenters, >erhaps even a little Jab from Coach K himself. (Heck, former athletic director Joe Alieva once called me out because he had personally seen me donning University-of-Illinois orange, so it’s not like I’ve done that great of a job of concealing my former identity anyway.) But I also want to disclose my true history because I know there-are some of you out there in the Class of 2012 who might be going through similar mental

anguish, and others still who might not care two grade points about sports in the first place. To the second type of student, I hope I can share a bit of what those of us who love sports see. To the first, I think I can help you cope with that one thing I was always so accustomed to hating: Perennial winners. In short, I have always been that antagonistic sports fan.

said, “So, I see you’re going to Duke?” Karma’s a bitch. Or maybe it’s not. I also remember standing in the Edward JonesDome at the Final Four with my dad, just days before discovering where I would be spending the next four years of my life. I gazed around the stadium then looked at him and said, ‘You know, I’m really going to miss this.” I never thought I would go to a school where sports mattered. But then I got into Duke, and I realized that if I sucked up my pride, I could make like Hannah Montana and have the best ofboth worlds—the academics and the experience. (Plus, I already hatedSean May and UNC, so I was well on my way to Dukiedom before I even liked the place.) What really sealed the deal for me, though, was Cameron Indoor Stadium. Stepping into that gymnasium for the first time was like stepping into sports history. The only other time I’d felt that way was at Fenway, and for me, it was something truly special. But that was just one of many firsts of freshman year, and I envy all ofyou for being in the position of dewy-eyed Duke newness. You could hate sports from convocation to commencement, and I’d still be jealous of the time that you have. Because you don’t have to love sports to love Duke, and vice-versa. But I do hope that you go to a basketball game at least once in your time here, because, like the Chapel or late-night Cook Out runs, basketball is part of the Duke experience. The Truth about Duke, contrary to what the haters say, is so simple it’s cliche: Duke is what you make ofit. I know a guy who waits in line for Duke basketball games like it’s his job (and to my surprise, has yet to come down with pneumonia). I know a girl who couldn’t tell you the differencebetween Brian Zoubek and Nolan Smith if you lined them up right in front of her, and she still cheers at the TV when the guys wearing the Blue jerseys score. I even know a girl who went from being a Duke hater to sports editorof The Chronicle in a mere three years. Just don’t think I’ll ever be a Yankees fan.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Smith trains with Beasley

Duke guard attends by

draft with high school teammate

Will Flaherty THE CHRONICLE

The green room at the NBA Draft has been a frequent stopover for former Blue Devils waiting to hear their name called and have their professional careers determined. So it wasn’t surprising that yet another Duke player spent an evening in the company of the league’s top draftees—except he wasn’t there to hear his own name called. Sophomore guard Nolan Smith attended the June 26 draft as a guest ofchildhood friend Michael Beasley, who was selected by the Heat as the second overall pick. The draft day visit to Madison Square Garden culminated the first half of Smith’s summer, which he spent working out with Beasley as he prepared for the NBA. Smith and Beasley have been teammates on the AAU circuitand in high school at Oak Hill Academy, but the bonds between the pair have transcended basketball since Beasley moved in to live with Smith’s family 11 years ago. “My friendship with him is, we’re like brothers,” Smith said. “We’ve spent a lot of time together working out and just really making each other better.” After the end of his freshman year, Smith returned to his home in the Washington, D.C. area for a mere two days before heading Philadelpfr" ' with Beasley as he prepar the NBA’s combine in Or] and other prospects folio' ing regimen builtaround of drills, conditioning and minimalbreaks between w “We would wake up ai a.m., eat breakfast and g( straight to the gym from 1' a.m. to about 1 p.m., gei ting about three hours in. said Smith, who averaged

points per game in his rookie season. “We’d go back to the hotel, take a nap and then go straight to lifts. We’d usually lift foranother hour an a half, then at night time, we’d go [back to the gym] and get more shots up.” Smith also joined junior forward Gerald Henderson in Philadelphia, Henderson’s home city. Smith saw his teammate a few times this summer, as Henderson used the same facility to recover from postseason wrist surgery. “Gerald thinks he’s left-handed now after having surgery on his shooting hand,” Smith said. “He’s worked real hard this summer as far as not getting out of shape and working on his offhand.” Smith said the constant workouts with NBAbound players have helped his skills, but the intimate exposure to the draft preparation process has also stimulated his mental approach to the game. “It motivates you, and that’s really what I’ve done this last season, [tried to] motivate myself even more,” he said. “Not that I wasn’t motivated, but that just makes you get the extra kick to work hard. Now that I’ve stepped back on Duke’s campus, I know that those guys have pushed me and that I’ve pushed them.” Smith said he plans to continue to work on all aspects of his game over the remainder of the as he trains with teammates and for.e players on campus. Most of all, the ken point guard also hopes to develop e of an on-court attitude. “The main thing [for me] is just >eing cocky,” Smith said. “Not being cocky in a bad way, where I’m a jerk and stuff like that, but just being cocky on the court to where I feel like I can beat any person that steps in front of me.” And if he can beat Beasley, he light be able to beat anyone.

are moving forward to improve Wallace Wade’s sound system, bathrooms and concession stands. New speakers, couches and televisions have been added in the Yoh Football Center. The coaches’ recruiting efforts have already landed them quality 2009 commitments, First-year head coach David Cutcliffe and his staff have certainly used the winter, spring and summer te move this program in the right direction for future success. But nothing is more important to them than this season. Despite inheriting a senior class that has won only two games in its career and practicing only 44 times before Duke’s first game against James Madison Aug. 30, Cutcliffe has told just about anybody who will listen what he expects from his squad. Thirty points per game. Bowl-eligible. Conference contender. And that’s how he’ll tell it to you. No conditionals, no if-clauses and no out strategies. Past coaches said similar things, but nobody believed them like people believe in Cutcliffe. And it starts with his players. “It’s a different atmosphere,"junior quarterback Thaddeus Lewis said. “The team has a swagger. People are feeling really good about themselves and glad they have made those accomplishments

that Coach Cutcliffe had presented.” One of those challenges was losing a collective 1,000 pounds. Cutcliffe was in no way quiet about Duke’s lack of conditioning, calling it the worst he had seen in his career. The players responded by changing their diets and enhancing their workout regimens. When the summer arrived, Cutcliffe made another change, another challenge. In the past, players had been given the option of staying for the first summer session. This year, it was mandatory to stay in Durham for the entire summer to prepare for the season as a team. Again, the players responded. “This is Division-I football. There’s no reason why everyone shouldn’tbe here,” senior linebacker Michael Tauillili said. “The values and the intensity that [the coaching staff is] bringing, and mainly, in my eyes, the experience that they’re bringing to the program has been different. Changes like we just talked about... making the sacrifices we need to and the strides we need.” Recognition, expectations and ticket sales are up—the athletic department is estimating a 30-percent gain with 2,000 new season-ticket holders but there still haven’t been any real results. Cutcliffe, who took his first vacation in the last week ofJune after he was hired in December, knows this better than anyone. —

“As a new staff, you really don’t have a lot of time to get your football team as prepared as you’d like,” Cutcliffe said. “We have a practice plan thatwe’ve already got on paper. You try to take every phase, every situation that occurs and put your team in those situations, prepare them to be able to play in every situation they’ll face during the season. Other than that, you’re just working fundamentals, techniques and individual techniques at each position. “That’s kind of what football is all about. Then you bring that together in the greatest team game of all sports.” Aside from continuing to work,with the strength and conditioning staff, the players have been running smaller practice sessions on their own, such as seven-on-seven passing skeletons. Many players have said thatthe hardest part so far has been learning all the new terminology, but as the summer has progressed, they have become more familiar with it On offense, Cutcliffe said running back Re’quan Boyette could have a “special season,” as he not only takes the majority of the handoffs but also catches some balls out of the backfield.

LEWIS

JUNIOR 6-FOOT-2 190 LB. 21TD/10 INI Lewis is the incumbent and sits at the top of

the depth chart, having started all 12 games last season and finishing in the top five of the ACC in all major passing categories.

Stephen Allan THE CHRONICLE

The last time David Cutcliffe had three starting quarterbacks, he suffered his only losing season in his five-year tenure at Ole Miss and was fired after a 4-7 record in 2004. But this year, Cutcliffe isn’t looking for Eli Manning’s replacement, as he was then. Now, he has two veteran quarterbacks who have started numerous games and an incoming freshman who was ranked the 10th best signal-caller in the country by scout.com. With junior Thaddeus Lewis (23 starts), redshirt junior Zack Asack (six) and freshman Sean Renfree lining up behind center, Cutcliffe seems to have a difficult, if not fortunate, task in choosing a starting quarterback. The first-year head coach, however, has made it clear who the starter is—at least for the time being. “Thad Lewis is the number one guy and Zack Asack’s currently number two,” Cutcliffe said in June. It’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility, though, for any of those three guys to be the starter by October—or by Aug. 30, Duke’s opening game against James Madison. Lewis has the most impressive credentials as the incumbent quarterback, averaging 202.5 passing yards per game, fourth-best in the ACC. He is far more advanced than his competitors in terms ofon-field production,

Junior quarterbackTbaddeus Lewis is the incumbent and figures to start the season at the top of the depth chart and the junior would have it no other way. “I’d hope my play could speak for itself,” Lewis said. “I’m more of a lead-by-example guy. I bring a different swagger to the team.” That swagger and strong play led to 21 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions, the best ratio of any Duke quarterback in the past several years. Lewis, however, hit a rough patch in spring training as he struggled to learn Cutcliffe’s new offense, Lewis’ third in three seasons. “Going into a new system, you can’t just go out there and play because you don’t know anything,” Lewis said. “But it boosts your morale and confidence learning it.” Lewis has since rebounded in “tremendous form,” Cutcliffe said. Asack is something ofa wild card. Although he has never had tremendous success throw-

ing the ball, his mobility provides an unpredictable element for Cutcliffe’s offense. With Lewis as the established starter for now, Asack sees himself as a mentor for younger players. “I can help them through the process with the coaches and what to expect,” Asack said. “Any off-field issues they might have, they can come to me. I feel like the dad in the group.” He should know. After he was assumed to be Duke’s quarterback in 2006, he was suspended for plagiarism and was forced to miss an entire season. But just because he lost the starting job doesn’t mean he has given up fighting for it. “We’re still going to be competing in the fall,” Asack said. “It’s the coaches’ decision, but I think [Cutcliffe] wants to incorporate SEE

FORWARD

She was the first women’s basketball player to have herjersey retired at Duke and has already been named to three All-Star teams in just four WNBA seasons. But despite these accomplishments, Beard has her eye on a more satisfying prize. “I’ve always wanted to be an Olympian—it’s been an ultimate goal of mine,” Beard said. “It’s something while growing up that I’ve always wanted to be a part ofand do. To be picked from hundreds of women means so much, you can’t even put it in words. It’s definitely an honor.” The honor could now be Beard’s, as Team USA announces its roster in earlyjuly. Beard already has some experience with Olympic competition, having played for the 2003 Under-

21 World Championship team and the 2006 FIBA World Championship squad, which brought home a bronze medal. She knows that being part of the 2008 team would be even more demanding. “People don’t grasp how extreme the training is,” Beard said. “For you to be a part of the team, you have to undergo unbelievable preparation. From college to the WNBA it goes up one level, but from the WNBA to the Olympics, it goes up 10 levels.” Beard is not the only Duke graduate considered for the team. Minnesota Lynx guard Lindsey Harding, whose jersey hangs in the rafters next to Beard’s, is also on a short list to earn a spot on the roster, and Beard believes that the success of the two stars is a reflection ofDuke.

Being drafted by the SanAntonio Spurs didn’t change that Neither did later NBA stops in Philadelphia and Detroit But now, Dawkins is gone. His house is on the market. The formerBlue Devil point guard and nine-year associate head coach is 2,800 miles away, having taken the open head coaching position at Stanford April 26. For the first time in 26 years, Dawkins will make his permanent residence outside of North Carolina. “It’s a change,” Dawkins said. “I’ve definitely moved outside of my comfort zone. I’ve learned a great deal over the last month and a half.” And while Dawkins was learning, Duke’s coaching staff was undergoing its first major change since 2000. Assistant coaches Steve Wojciechowski and Chris Collins were promoted to associate head coaches, and Nate James was hired to fill the void left from Dawkins’ departure. Dawkins’ No. 24 hangs in Cameron’s rafters, and head coach Mike Krzyzewski said no one did more for Duke’s program in his 28 years at the helm. But after spuming previous overtures to leave his alma mater, Dawkins couldn’t pass up the Cardinal post. He felt it was the right time to leave, and the similar tenet of the schools’ athletic departments—the academic-athletic balance—made the job particularly appealing. “The [Duke] program is in great shape,” Dawkins said after running off a list of other reasons the Stanford job intrigued him. “Of course, I wouldn’t have departed ifI didn’t think we were in terrific shape with where we were going and our future with what we were doing. “I’m always pulling for them, of course. I’m a Duke alum, and I’m excited when those guys have success.” Dawkins’ name is frequently brought up in connection with the Blue Devils’ future. Some consider him to be the leading candidate to replace Krzyzewski after the legendary coach retires, a topic that was sparked anew when Stanford athletic directorBob Bowlsby introducedhis new coach as Krzyzewski’s likely heir. Krzyzewski will not name a successor, and he prefers that the job stays in the Duke family, he told The Chronicle in June. But Dawkins tends to ignore the suggestions that he may one day return to the sidelines ofCoach K Court. “I try not to concentrate on that,” Dawkins said. “I can’t see anyone SEE DAWKINS ON PAGE 17

When the best high school basketball players in the nation compete in national tournaments and camps this July, the most high-profile coaches in the country will be visible in the crowd.

For better or worse (OK, it’s for better) , Krzyzewski is the face of Duke Basketball in away unlike any other coach in the United States. And Coach K’s inextricable connection to his “other” gig will be evident throughout the Olympics, whether it’s broadcasters introducing him as a college basketball institution at Duke or feature stories highlighting his close relationship with Kobe Bryant.

Duke’s past two early exits in the NCAA Tournament certainly don’t help the argument that Krzyzewski’s Team USA duties have taken nothing away from his commitment to his primaryjob. The uproar was a little softer, you may re- Sam member, when Coach t K took over the nation- -Li CVY al team in 2005. At that time, Duke had two returning All-Americans in JJ. Redick and Shelden Williams and was the consensus preseason No. 1. Now that the Blue Devils haven’t reached the Sweet 16 the past two seasons, the question of whether Coach K’s committment to Duke has shown its effects in recent recruiting and on-court success is valid, if unpopular. But since Redick and Williams graduated in 2006, Duke has not maintained a strong presence in the paint to balance its depth on the perimeter. Josh Mcßoberts was the highest-rated big man in the Class of 2005, but his two-year career at Duke was underwhelming at best.

Please excuse Rebecca Ward

if she seems tired during orientation. She will be less than a week removed from fencing in the Olympics. Ward, an incoming freshman fencer, has a chance to win two gold medals in the individual saber and team fencing competitions in Beijing. In 2006, Ward won gold in the individual saber competition and a silver medal in the team event at die World Fencing Championships. Now, Ward is No. 1, having won almost every intemadonal compedtion. The only hardware missing from her thing case is an Olympic medal. Although the Olympics will be the biggest compeddon ofher young career, Ward said she is preparing for it like it’s any other event. “I haven’t changed my training all dial much,” said Ward, who hails from Beaverton, Ore. “I’ve just kept training die way I always have, with a bit more cross-training.” Ward won’t have much time to dwell on the results. The team competition ends Aug. 14. Freshman move-in is just five days later.

“There are ways in which we wouldn’t seek to exploit [the attention]. Coach K won’t wear Duke paraphernalia during the game. But to some extent, we don’t need that. Let me put it this way... it’s the kind of thing the University doesn’t need to do much to capitalize on.” The men’s basketball gold medal game is anticipated to be one of the most watched sporting events in the history of the world. ESPN’s broadcast of North Carolina’s win over Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium March 8 took in 5.6 million. It set a record for a men’s college basketball game. The 2008 Super Bowl drew 97.5 million viewers. A 2007 NBA game between Chinese basketball heroes Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian attracted about 200 million viewers on 19 television stations in China. The Olympic final? It could eclipse the 2006 World Cup final, which drew an average of 260 million viewers. “What does that mean? Well, it means a lot, especially if you win,” Krzyzewski said. “That will bring something to Duke. That’s the thing about whether you’re a history professor here or a doctor or whatever when you do something that gets national or international recognition, it helps Duke. Well, the fact is, Duke always helps you. It’s a neat thing.” —

Bumess, the University’s outgoing senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, traveled to Italy about 10 years ago and noticed a Duke hat. Then he spotted another one. He soon began counting college’s caps and, by the end ofhis trip, Burness had tallied 27 Duke hats—nine more than Georgetown, its closest competitor. The reason behind the abundance of Duke hats rather than, say, Harvard, was clear to Burrjess. “I have to believe that some of that has to do with the sports programs at these institutions,” he said. “There is this wonderful loyalty that exists at American universities, but that loyalty is so much stronger at a place like Duke. If you have a foreign student at a place like Duke and he goes back, you can bet he’s going back with a basketball cap.” The University has made a conscious push to expand its global presence in the last decade, evident in the list of recent international

And so began the 2007 graduate’s Olympic journey. Cullen never scored a point at Duke and the lanky computer science major worked at a firm that builds and manages video editing software in the year after graduation—that is, he’s not your average Olympian. Five years ago, he didn’t even think he would be a manager at Duke and two

initiatives, from the advent of DukeEngage to the develop ment of a partnership with a Singapore hospital. In his annual speech to faculty in October 2007, Brodhead described Duke’s internationalambitions and laid out a plan to increase its dimensions. “Duke’s international efforts to date have been somewhat opportunistic in character, and almost exclusively unit-based,” he said to the faculty. “So far, so good. But we are nearing a time when the University’s internationalization will need to become more concerted and more

strategic.” The impact of Krzyzewski’s Olympic appearance, then, goes against both tenets of Duke’s globalization philosophy. The potential of the athletics sector has been untapped—almost all of the University’s international efforts have come in the academic and service fields—and Krzyzewski’s selection as Team USA head coach was a stroke of luck for Duke. The ways in which Duke seeks to use Krzyzewski’s introduction to the rest of the world are far from concerted or strategic. They are purely opportunistic. “Duke University has an enormous brand in higher education,” said Director ofAthletics Kevin White, who has a scholarly interest in globalization and has taught a class about the business of sport for the last 26 years at various institutions. “Duke Basketball is kind of in a position all by itself within college basketball. I don’t know that people would argue with that. Coach K has a brand, and that’s perhaps why he’s been invited to coach that team and do so many darn things. “Now you take all of those things and you put into that mix the opportunity to coach the Olympic team and all of that, if it’s possible, will go to another level.” Still, using sport as a talking point is less of a priority for a University distinct in its commitment to rigorous academics and highly competitive athletics. That combination would likely be lost in translation. “It’s unique in colleges and universities around the world that you have these big-time sports programs,” Burness said. “They’re not tacked onto or part of the university. It would not then be the natural interplay.” Basketball reigns supreme in China, though, and its popularity will only surge as the growing superpower continues to export NBA All-Stars like Yao, who is something of a transcendent celebrity. Add the inherent internationalization of basketball as a sport, and it’s no surprise that so many will sit down to watch the gold medal game Aug. 24 if Team USA’s band of superstars is involved. . It also makes sense that Duke administrators’ rooting interests are not simply fueled by patriotism or friendship with Krzyzewski. The further Team USA advances, the more attention Duke receives. Play-by-play announcers and analysts don’t even have to mention Krzyzewski’s day job; whenever the camera flashes to Krzyzewski’s face, “DUKE” is essentially emblazoned on the screen. So Brodhead understands that he must pull hard for a Team USA gold medal. ‘You bet I will! I’m not a fool,” he said. “It’s a fantastic event. It’s completely phenomenal. Sometimes you hit it lucky.... A Duke coach being chosen just at this moment, when the media make more things available to more billions of people than we’ve ever seenP That’s just good fortune.” In other words, the University’s fortune cookie reads Kjiao lian That’s how you say “Coach K” in Chinese

months ago, he was sitting in his apartment in Charlotte watching the Final Four. In fact, the former four-year manager considered traveling to Beijing for the Olympics as a fan. He was willing to take two weeks of vacation and bum all of his frequent flyer miles, but the price tag on hotels and flights was too much for the 25-year old. But through his job at Sportstec, Cullen worked closely with the athletic department and traveled back to campus about once a month. When Duke was interested in establishing a video coordinator position to compensate for the program’s growing dependence on film study and after former director of basketball operations Mike Schrage left for Stanford, Cullen was the man for the job—and backtracked his way

into the position with USA Basketball. None ofCullen’s experience will rival what looms in China, what he calls a “logistical nightmare.” The power system and video format are different, and there is no equipment “It’s not like being here at Duke, where you can run down to thecloset and get something else,” said Cullen, who anticipates several all-nighters. “There’s no closet over there.” So instead of having a month and a half of downtime in Durham to adorn a new video room, Cullen will be living a goal that has never been his, but he’s nonetheless happy to adopt. “It’s certainly one of the best things I could have ever imagined,” he said. “It wasn’t a dream of mine, but now to think thatI’ve been able to do it, it’s a phenomenal dream come true.”

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Blue Devils engage in summer internships by

Laura Keeley THE CHRONICLE

Next time you see the Ultimate Highlight Reel on “Sports Center” or the Web Gems on “Baseball Tonight,” think of Abby Waner. These plays of the day are coming your way because of her work as a studio production intern for ESPN. In addition to her behind-the-scenes work at the Worldwide Leader’s studio in Bristol, Conn., Waner had the opportunity to go to New York City and work the NBA Draft with former Blue Devil and current ESPN analyst Jay Bilas. So perhaps you could thank the senior guard for bringing OJ. Mayo, complete with librarian-style glasses and bowling shoes, into your house, too. If you thought basketbaH was the only thing the Blue Devils cared about, you would be mistaken. In fact, the players’ summer plans are as varied as, well, any other Duke student. “You gotta stay busy,” senior center Chante Black said with a laugh. Busy might be an understatement to describe Black and Waner’s summer work schedules. Black puts in six days a week for two different departments at Saint Francis Care in Hartford, Conn. Black’s first responsibility is to the grant and aid foundation, in which she solicits money from former donors to support the hospital and all of its causes. She also wears several hats in the emergency department, from checking in

patients and escorting them to rooms to keeping family members informed of their relatives’ status. Black has been working so much that she has had trouble finding time to meet up with Waner, who is working about 30 minutes away. “Abby called [June 20] at midnight to let me know she was playing,” Black said. “With both of us working so much, it has been tough to get together, but we are going to try.” While Black andWaner work in the Northeast, their other tri-captain, Carrem Gay opted to engage in work closer to campus. Gay is proof that DukeEngage does more than fling Dukies to places all over the globe. Not all volunteers leave the country. Or, for that matter, North Carolina. The senior forward is working in Durham, so she can still workout at Duke, she said. Gay is working in the Office of Community Affairs, helping out however she can. Some of her major summer projects have been with Quality of Life, a group that focuses on community organizing, and helping the department with a major archiving project. Gay also attends meetings with prominent community members to ensure Durham’s well-being. Gay, Joy Cheek, Keturah Jackson and Bridgette Mitchell have stayed in Durham over the summer to workout together. With the exceptions of Black and Waner, the whole team will be back at Duke in July

and August to prepare for the upcoming season. Back up in Connecticut, Black and Waner have developed their own workout routines to stay fresh. Black joined Bally’s Fitness Club, and Waner has found no shortages of workout partners around her. “It’s great,” said Waner, who held a miniinternship with the network at the end of last summer. “ESPN has its own fitness center, and there is an outdoor court. Also, there are a couple of YMCAs around the area. And it’s awesome because it’s either athletes, ex-athletes or people who played in high school who all play in these pickup games. They are just great runs. We played for three-and-a-half hours the other day. There is never a loss of games or places to work out at ESPN.”

“The fact that it’s produced two Olympians in one school in similar years shows you what Duke Basketball is all about,” Beard said. “It is a tribute to what [former head coach] Gail Goestenkors has done.” And although a labral tear in her left shoulder leaves Beard on the bubble to make the team, she has since recovered after surgery and is ready to show the world what she can do. “It’s always an unbelievable experience playing with the best in the world,” she said. “The fact that we are the U.S., we go in with a target on our backs. People are always out to get the U.S. Team. Our goal is to get a gold medal and nothing less.”

2-3 zone, Krzyzewski can try to learn how to beat it in case Miami ever employs it again. It’s also energized Krzyzewsld. While Coach K will never admit it, it’s tough to consistendy be the best at your position and not grow complacent. Finding a new challenge was the primary motivationfor Krzyzewski’s flirtation with the Lakers in 2004, and the Olympics provide him a similar opportunity without depriving him of his day job. (And this job is infinitely better than his second option: playing minor league baseball for the Birmingham Barons.) “There’s been a tremendous amount of positive energy and learning coming from that—Coach K’s more energized now than I’ve ever seen him,” ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said. “And a big part of that has to do with his involvement with USA Basketball. I

know he’s learned a great deal. He looks at the game a bit differently.” And a renewed perspective is exactly the medicine for the inevitable complacency of being the best at what you do. Some will argue that Krzyzewski’s absence will hurt the Blue Devils’ recruiting in critical summer months. But communication is international now, and the Duke coaching staff should have no problem calling or texting recruits while overseas (yes, Kelvin, it’s legal in July). At the same time, he can lay the groundwork for a China-to-Durham pipeline that may one day bring Duke a big man that plays outside-in—something Duke has sorely lacked in recent seasons. And at the very least, the Olympics will provide Krzyzewski a bit more practice in a tournament setting—that is, after all, where Duke has struggled recently.

Formerassociate head coach Johnny Dawkins was Mike Krzyzewski's right-hand man beforehe became head coach at Stanford.

DAWKINS from page 13 there other than [Krzyzewski]. I never could see past that. So many people have visions of what happens when he goes or this and they’re looking at all kinds of strategies behind Coach’s departure, and I’m one that can’t ever see anything other than him always in the picture. And it’s because not only did I work for him, but also played for him. So I take a different perspective than, I guess, most people.” Before he coaches his first game in Palo Alto, Calif., though, Dawkins will get one more opportunity to work with his mentor. Despite the rigors of taking charge ofthe Cardinal program, Dawkins will still travel to Beijing as the director of player personnel for Team USA. He never seriously considered opting out of his commitment to Krzyzewski and USA Basketball because he believed that working for the national team was the “highest honor” possible, he said. When Dawkins interviewed for the Stanford job, he was asked whether he would go to Beijing this summer. He replied that he wanted to stay involved with the national team either way. Dawkins’ role on the Olympic team is to work with the players before, during and after practice, as well as to oversee their training regimens off the court—a position he’s comfortable with, having spearheaded player development at Duke. As for working with Krzyzewski one last time? Dawkins’ whirlwind departure to the West Coast will make the trip to China that much more meaningful. “Everything changed so quickly that really I didn’t have a chance to catch my breath,” Dawkins said. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with him.” But even though he will be nearly 3,000 milesfrom Krzyzewski’s office this fall, he won’t be forgotten anytime soon at Duke. Dawkins was in town as recently as Father’s Day, and he has kept in touch with the Blue Devil players this summer. And after all, he still has that house to sell.

LEVY from page 14 Taylor King have all transferred, and junior Brian Zoubek has battled chronic injury problems. ■ There is no doubt that the Blue Devils have missed out on some big name posts in recent years—Greg Monroe, Brandan Wright and Patrick Patterson, to name a few—but are Coach K’s responsibilities with Team USA really to blame for it? “I don’tthink Duke has any worries in the world when it comes to recruiting,” ESPN analyst Dick Vitalesaid. “The fact that Coach K is coaching Team USA with guys like Leßron and Kobe—kids see that and say, Tf he can coach them, he can coach me.’” Vitale and former Blue Devil Jay Bilas argue that Krzyzewski’s Olympic tie brings positive energy to the program and that

his associations with the best players in the world certainly can’t and won’t hurt the Blue Devils. They could be right. There are plenty of potential -benefits for Duke, and it’s foolish to believe that the coaching staff hasn’t formulated a plan to compensate for its Team USA responsibilities. If Coach K stands on the podium with the NBA’s best players, the Duke program will become more attractive to potential recruits. That’s undeniable. But it’s also possible that a high school stud could enroll at North Carolina because Coach K didn’t show him enough love this summer and in that case, we might reflect and say Krzyzewski should have put his full focus on his Blue Devil squad. After all, it’s certain that almost every other college coach is focused on one team, not two.

ROWBURY from page 13 given where she was this time last year: sidelined with a stress fracture in her hip that made Rowbury dependent on crutches and unable to run at all. Rowbury had redshirted the entire 2006 season—her senior year at Duke—to prepare and train for 2007. Continuing her Duke education with a master’s in humanities, she placed first and second in the NCAA indoor championships to start 2007. But a nagging pain in her hip was diagnosed as a stress fracture in April. It ended her fifth year and final outdoor season. “Of course I was devastated at first, but having that diagnosis, I finally knew what I was dealing with,” said Rowbury, who won All-American honors and broke Duke and national records in her Blue Devil career. “I made it my goal to do everything I could to get healthy, to fix whatever problems caused my injury in the first place and come back

stronger than I was before. I never looked back.” Rowbury combined her own motivation with the support of coach John Cook and her teammates to stage an improbable comeback. Cook mentors athletes for Nike and trains the close-knit trio of Rowbury and former North Carolina runners Shalane Flanagan and Erin Donohue. So began Rowbury’s comprehensive rehabilitation process. Months of training later—at high altitudes in Mexico, with Cook in Sarasota, Fla. and at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.—Rowbury was back. “Some of my biggest successes have been after my biggest failures or most upsetting moments,” Rowbury said. “The stress fracture I had in the spring of ’O7 was heartbreaking for me, but at the same time, it made me much tougher and taught me what I was made with. I think it’s important with something like that to find the silver lining in it and make a promise to yourself that you’ll be better.” And Rowbury is a woman ofher word.

summer (O, briefs Mcßoberts dealt, Nelson goes undrafted A former Blue Devil found a new team on the night of the 2008 NBA Draft, but for the first time since 1997, a Duke player was not selected in the two-round ordeal. Josh Mcßoberts, a Duke forward who declared for the draft after two seasons in 2007, was traded to Indianapolis from Portland. Mcßoberts was an All-American at Carmel High School in nearby Carmel, Ind. He was dropped to the D-League in January and was recalled to the Trail Blazer's in February. He played in eight games in his rookie season, averaging 1.5 points per game in 30 total minutes. DeMarcus Nelson, a First-Team All-ACC selection in 2008, went undrafted despite impressing scouts in NBA workouts and showcases. Only one ACC player, N.C. State’s JJ. Hickson, was taken in the first round of the draft. Virginia’s Sean Singletary, Maryland’s James Gist and Virginia Tech’s Deron Washington were all selected in the second round. Duke Tennis shakes up coaching staff After 18 years at the helm, Jay Lapidus resigned as the men’s tennis head coach and will oversee operations in both tennis programs as the school’s new director of tennis. Ramsey Smith, an assistant and associate head coach for the last three seasons, will be the team’s new head coach. Lapidus ends his coaching career as the winningest coach in the program’s history. He was named ACC Coach of the Year six times and has guided Duke to 17 consecutive NCAA tournaments. “Ultimately my decision came down to what is best for Duke tennis,” Lapidus said in a statement. “The goal of both the men’s and women’s tennis programs is to win a national championship. This reorganization is a positive move in that direction and reflects Duke’s commitment to tennis.” Blumenherst takes 38th at U.S. Open Three-time defending National Player of the Year Amanda Blumenherst made the cut and finished 38th in the U.S. Open at Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minn, last weekend. The amateur fired under-par rounds Thursday and Saturday, but her Friday and Sunday performances dropped her to 6-over for the tournament. Former Blue Devil Brittany Lang also qualified for the weekend and her score of 5-over was good for 31st. Seven golfers with Duke ties—including Blumenherst, senior Jennie Lee, sophomore Kim Donovan and incoming freshman Mina Harigae—competed in the national championship, the second-most in program history. •

Duke places 19th in Directors’ Cup For the fifth straight year, Duke finished in the top 20 of the Directors’ Cup, which measures department-wise success in college athletics. Duke’s score was good for 19th. Stanford won the prize for the 14th straight year. Duke dropped in the standings for the third straight year. It finished fifth in 2005, eighth in 2006 and 11th in 2007. The women’s golf team contributed the most points with 85, followed by men’s and women’s lacrosse (83) and women’s soccer (73). Men’s basketball added 50 points, and women’s basketball tallied 64.

A hot start had people hoping for a perfect ACC record, especially after a dismantling of North Carolina on the road Feb. 6. But Duke tumbles hard—failing to reach the ACC tournament final, barely escaping embarrassment with a one-point win over No. 15 Belmont in the first round of the NCAAs only to fall to West Virginia in the second round. It’s the second straight year Duke fails to advance past the first weekend.

BY BEN COHEN 5. NATE FREIMAN

The postseason chances of Duke’s baseball team may well rest on Freiman’s bat. The now-senior slugger led the team in every major hitting category last season and, with his draft stock on the line, could finish off a memorable career with an end-of-season reward: an NCAA tournament berth. 4. NED GROTTY

When I turned 10 years old, I had a big party. It seems like after that, no one cared as much about my birthday anymore (check that... I turned 21 a week or so ago. But never mind that now.). There were no more cakes, no more big bashes and all of a sudden everyone seemed to want something more out of me (how does this relate directly to birthday parties? The first two directly have to do with changes in the celebration of your birthday, the third is more abstract. It’s a little disconnected to read). Guess what? recess is officially IT The party’s over. So now that we’re all grown-up—or at least fast approaching puberty—we realize we need to mature as well. There are several things we have in mind. First, we want to focus more on the campus. That means that if you’re in a band, exhibiting art or putting on a play, we want to hear from you. Our new arts calendar on page 3 seeks to be the campus’ clearing house for arts happenings every week. With the new calendar and more comprehensive on-campus coverage, we hope to encourage both your involvement in the campus arts and also nurture ours. The bottom line is that when there’s a major arts happening on campus—whether it’s put on by Duke Performances, the Duke University Union, Hoof ’n‘ Horn, Theater Studies or any of the legion of arts organizations on campus, recess will be there. We have not been in the past, and it’s time to fix it. Secondly, we’re going to cut down the

length ofsome ofour stories. For the past three years, my name has most frequently graced these pages at the top of lengthy Faulknerian screeds masquerading as music features about obscure jazz musicians. I love writing ‘em, but who wants to read all that? Starting now, you

look for short, punchy and infoflmative articles and reviews on these pages. Thirdly? (Tdon’t really like using this, but there needs to be consistency). There will also be a new focus on lifestyle issues—the things that our colleagues in The Chronicle, the grey lady of campus journalism, sniff at: food, fashion, nightlife and sex life. We’ll bring them to you both with standard articles and, starting in August, with a handful of the finest columnists to appear in The Chronicle (eat that, Kristin Butler and Stephen Miller). They will all appear alongside the mix of witty, incisive coverage of movies, music and games that you’ve come to expect (or, for freshmen and jaded readers, will come to expect) from recess. But, as they say, we are nothing without our readers. So what do you want? If you have ideas or requests, if you want to let us know about something that’s going on or if you just want to vent about what a moron I am, go for it. Feel free to send me an e-mail anytime at david.graham@duke.edu. (Honesdy, I’m a senior history major. Give me something to kill my time, folks.) can

COURTESY LES SAVY FAV

New York-based Les Savy Fav has generated a massive fanbase due to their eccentric live shows but is still largely ignored by the mainstream.

Les Savy Fav takes over Nasher by

Andrew Hibbard THE CHRONICLE

In modern music, genre names are tossed around so

casually that they can pigeonhole any band, and the all-in-

clusive “indie rock” has become one of the most meaningless phrases in the industry. Some bands, however, have been able to avoid categorization. Les Savy Fav is a prime example. Formed during the band’s tenure at the Rhode Island School of Design in the mid 19905, the now-New Yorkbased quintet has spent the past 13 years performing and recording on its own terms. As a result, it is an enduring force in modern music known for its defiant originality. Drummer Harrison Haynes grew up in Chapel Hill and now lives in Durham, where he operates Branch Gallery with his wife. He joined the band a few years after its inception. Haynes recalled going to the bands early shows at RISD. “[Les Savy Fav was] set apart within the context ofother RISD bands. Les Savy Fav seemed like a straight forward rock ‘n’ roll band in the context of lightning bolts and black dice, you know,” Haynes said. “A lot of the RISD bands at that time were deconstructing rock and doing like feedback loops, which is awesome but I remember seeing Les Savy Fav and seeing two guitarists and vocals and drums and bass. It

was weirdly revolutionary compared to the other bands.” In spite of this standard approach, Haynes quickly learned that the band’s songwriting was rife with subdety and inventiveness. “Meet Me in the Dollar Bin” of 2004’s Inches, for example, is a four-minute percussion-driven track with only two notes and feedback. This inventive spirit has in many ways defined the band. Billed as post-punk, Les Savy Fav’s punk influences mostly stop at the surface level. “I think we’ve managed to eschew a lot of categorization.We’ve been very stubborn about not being able to or not wanting to sum up what our band is,” Haynes said. “It even goes down to what the name of our band is. It means nothing. We made it up. It’s just self-referential.” As a result, the band has not found much fame in the mainstream, but consistently sells out its shows and in 2008 performed at major festivals like Coachella and Norway’s Hove Festival alongside Jay-Z. For Haynes, this limbo between extreme notoriety and niche appeal is just fine. “We insist on doing things our own way, and in some ways I think it’s really paid off. We have a cultish following that’s pretty second to none,” he said. “On the other hand, we haven’t really gone down in the books. Most people don’t SEE LES SAVY FAY ON PAGE 15

apples and bananas. As added incentive, a study at Colorado State University compared two subject groups who each ate eight to 10 servings of produce per day, one that chose from 18 different varieties and the other that ate the same five repeatedly. At the end of eight weeks, the high-variety group showed significantly reduced rates of DNA oxidation, making their bodies more resilient against disease and highlighting the importance of consuming a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to get the most inclusive range of nutrients. In addition to this benefit, eating the whole fruit can have extensive advantages, even when compared to its 100 percent juice form. Juices are often in concentrated form, increasing their caloric content and greatly reducing key elements such as dietary' fiber and vitamins. FYI: orange pulp contains 10 times the Vitamin C found in the juice alone, so high-pulp juice can pack a significant punch. Whenever possible, opt for the whole fruit. The hot summer months also bring to mind grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. But there’s a reason light foods are more popular in the summer, though it may not be the most obvious. In the high heat, the added work of digesting highprotein foods such as red meat causes more water loss overall, contributing to dehydration.

Hush Sound ready to bring noise to East Campus For the Hush Sound, success has come suddenly. Releasing their first record in 2005, the band has gone on to headline tours and support ads such as Panic at the Disco and Fall Out Boy. The Chicago-based group fuses harmonic vocals with a distinctive jazzy rock sound. Recently, the Hush Sound’s guitarist Bob Morris spoke with recess ’Jordan Axt about the band’s newest album, musical inspirations and awk-

ward freshman.

How do you feel like your new album, Goodbye Blues, differs from your previous records? On Goodbye Blues, we kind of got to explore a lot more tones and take our song writing further. On Like Vines, we already had our tones laid out beforehand, whereas on Goodbye Blues, we were able to work up each song individually, finding a separate tune for each. We had the ability to decide each song individually. How do you think your music differs from the bands that you have toured with, such as Panic at the Disco, the All-American Rejects and Rooney? Music is my life. A lot of people like music, but it’s not their life. So we try a lot to have a really original and distinct sound. I don’t think we sound like any other band. I don’t think we want to sound like any of the bands we tour with. No one wants to go to a concert where all five of the bands sound the same. What acts do you feel are the biggest inspirations in your own music? There are a lot: the Beades, some Motown, Leon Russell, the Kinks. As a band, we are very nostalgic. We all have really eclectic music tastes. Unfortunately, I find it overwhelming to find new music today that doesn’t suck. There’s a lot of bad music out

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Hush Sound is the latest band booked by DUU Major Attractions to play free for all students. there, and it’s hard to sort through it all. That said, are there any bands out there right now that you particularly admire? Phantom Planet, the group we just finished touring with, is a really great band. There is not a band that comes close to them. They are just completely and unbelievably talented. Of course, there are also the obvious choices like Radiohead. Everybody loves Radiohead. Basically, when somebody is a genius, you have to admire their work. You’ve toured as a supporting act with a lot of big name bands. Yet, you’ve also had three tours where you were the headline act. What do you take away from being both a supporting act and the headliner on a tour? It’s really important to do both. Natu-

rally, we really enjoy doing a headlining tour because the audience is there for you. They know all the lyrics to your songs and sing along to your work. It’s a great feeling. There’s just generally a lot less pressure. Support tours, on the other hand, are a little bit harder. You have to make the audience become fans of yours. You have to make them want to come see you the next time you are in town. Being the supporting act on a major tour has taken us to a lot of places and venues we probably couldn’t do on our own. One ofthe most interesting aspects about The Hush Sound is that all band members share vocal duties. Yet, on Goodbye Blues, pianist Greta Salpeter sings nine of the 13 tracks. Was this a conscious decision? It was not a conscious decision at all.

I was going through a lot of personal things that prevented me from finishing songs, and Greta was simply finishing more songs. When you are in a band that shares songwriting and vocal duties, there is a lot of opportunities for jealousy to arise. But now that we have been doing this for so long, we’re all comfortable with saying “Greta, I love you to death.” We used to be a band where whoever wrote the song got to do the vocals, but now we’re a lot about allowing other members to do the vocals to songs that someone else has written. What has it been like to work with Pete Wentz who signed you to his label? Pete has been pretty hands-off in his interactions with the band. Mostly, he has helped us just get more support and exposure. Patrick Stump, the lead vocalist for Fall Out Boy, has also been very helpful. He produced our previous record, Like Vines. He has had a lot of insight into our work. I was at his house just the other day and got the chance to just bounce some ideas off of him for our next album. You will be playing at Duke during orientation, which means that your concert will undoubtedly be primarily attended by nervous, awkward freshman. How will your show help them overcome this feeling? I think that we put out a pretty welcoming vibe in our shows. We put a lot into our music and we expect a lot back. We bring a lot of energy and it’s the best feeling when the crowd is able to reciprocate that energy. These people will definitely be really nervous, but we think that our music will help loosen them up a bit. Or maybe they’ll justbe drunk, which might make things a lot easier.

MY MORNING JACKET

EVIL URGES

AW RECORDS

��

THE HOLD STEADY STAY POSITIVE VAGRANT RECORDS

�� The Hold Steady are rock and roll. The

grit, sweat and blood. The drugs and alcohol. The everyman emotions. The self-destruction. All are perfecdy encapsulated by Craig Finn and company’s fourth release, Stay Positive. While the Hold Steady have their quirks (namely Finn’s unusual but highly effective sing-speak delivery and the Catholic imagery that runs throughout), it takes little dme to recognize Stay Positive as one of the year’s strongest, most accomplished albums. The album consists of 11 tracks that range from spectacular to outstanding. Each chronicles the lives of substance-addled individuals with intricate and furious guitars, deft keys work from Franz Nicolay and Finn’s literate blue-collar poetry, brought to life by his gruffand inimitable voice.

Finn has created his own world over the course of the Hold Steady’s discography, a world set in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Ybor City, which is populated with townies, hoodrats, drifters, scenesters, users and dealers. Certain lyrics pardcularly resonate, such as the line in murder-drama “One for the Cutters” that asks, “When one townie falls in the forest/Can anyone hear it?” Similarly, in “Stay Positive,” a track that sound like the unknown theme song of an aging generation, Finn vows that “The kids at the shows/They’ll have kids of their own/And the sing-a-long songs’ll be their scriptures.” It’s futile to pick out any more tracks and lyrics to highlight, as every track and lyric is a success on par with some of the giants of American music. This album is a landmark, the very convincing work of a band making a case for itself as one of the country’s best, and—idiosyncrasies be damned—it’s a masterpiece. —Kevin Lincoln

Evil Urges, My Morningjacket’s fifth studio album, will cast a hypnotic spell over any listener. With haunting vocals, wailing guitar solos and full-out jams, the album blends alternative, country, rock, pop and electronic influences to create an eclectic sound that’s nearly impossible to label. Yet, beyond the sheer seductiveness of the melodies lies a deeper reflection, one that delves into the shortcomings of society. But unlike contemporary rebel yells and political rants, Evil Urges criticizes to inspire. Tide track “Evil Urges” rejects traditional ideas about what is “evil” and instead proclaims that evil is what you make it. Lead singer Jim James begs the listener to “dedicate your love to any woman or man/No racial boundary lines, no social subdivisions/If you want it, you can.” In “I’m Amazed,” the band pairs wonder with confusion, chanting, “I’m amazed at all that has been/I’m amazed at all that will be/I’m amazed at the TV stations/I’m amazed at what they want me to believe.” With such inventive rhythms and intelligent lyrics, Evil Urges is the most accomplished and cohesive record in My Morning Jacket’s promising career. Aside from the fact that they rock out, break guitars and put on crowd-raising live performances, My Morning Jacket shows their courage even more so in Evil Urges, where hard-hitting tracks like “Highly Suspicious” are followed by more sensitive songs such as “Thank You Too!” It is precisely this kind of exploration and never straying too far from the band’s Kentucky roots that makes the album a success. Evil Urges is a record that experiments, pushes limits and above all establishes My

Morning Jackelras one of the most innovative bands in music. It’s one of those albums you put in your car and escape, when you roll down the windows and just drive, It’s an album you put on for contemplative nights alone. It’s mellow and invigorating. It’s motivational. It’s going to be stuck in your head—and not in a bad way. —Mary Conyers Tucker

LIL WAYNE THA CARTER 111 CASH MONEY RECORDS

�� Lil Wayne has a lot of hype to live up to these days. Since the 2006 release of Tha Carter 11, he has been widely hailed as the “best rapper alive” (even recently anointed as such by the most venerable of hip-hop tastemakers, The New York Times). On Tha Carter 111, he delivers. He raps (well). He plays guitar (badly). He threatens to shoot your grandmother. It appears that the drugs have gone to his head, and honesdy, it’s for the best. Throughout the album, Lil Wayne (Dwayne Carter) cements his reputation as a brilliant and unhinged lyricist, indulging in extended metaphor and paranoid fantasies, more than holding his own against today’s best MCs. The album’s production is a solid blend of the best of what’s been coming out of Houston, Atlanta, Chicago and New York the last few years, from a variety of producers (not exclusively Kanye West, as was rumored earlier). However, Lil Wayne is, without question, the attraction here, and he’s not afraid to say it On “Let the Beat Build,” he rightly compares himself to Tupac and Biggie. Jay-Z even contributes a Wayne-biting verse to the record, effectively passing the torch of rap’s biggest star to Mr. Carter the Younger. (continued on next page)

��

That’s not to say that Lil Wayne never misses his mark. r fha Carter ///makes the same mistakes many recent mainstream rap albums make: a bloated tracklist, too many R&B collaborations, the obvious pop-rap single (“Lollipop”) and a T-Pain appearance (please go away). However, it is Lil Wayne’s very specific foibles that make Tha Carter 111 so great Through his mastery ofwordplay, the sheer insanity ofhis ambition and his deconstructionist approach to guitar, Tha Carter 111 presents Lil Wayne fully in his moment, establishing the rapper as an iconoclastic performer. —Asher Brown-Pinsky

At Mount Zoomer, the sophomore effort from Montreal giants Wolf Parade, is as schizophrenic and disheveled as its bizarre album cover. Torn into two separate works by the diverging interests of the group’s lead songwriters, Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner, the album is sorely lacking the distinct identity that was readily apparent on the band’s outstanding 2005 debut, Apologies to the Queen Mary. Krug’s songs, the best of Apologies, now sound like B-sides from his superb sideproject, Sunset Rubdown. “Call It A Ritual” is a particularly weak showing, with a relatively bland piano line, poor specimens of his hit-or-miss lyrics and a distinct lack of energy. Later, Krug recycles Sunset Rubdown’s “Stallion” into “Bang Your Drum,” an improvement on “Call It a Ritual,” but not on the aforementioned Rubdown effort. The only convincing Wolf Parade

International dance festival celebrates 75 years What's in a name? recess'reviewer takes on the acrobatic and majestic Pilobolus by

Alice Ren

THE CHRONICLE

Pilobolus (crystallinus): a phototrophic zygomycete; a sun-lovingfungus that grows in barnyards and pastures. Naming your dance troupe after a fungus might not seem like a harbinger of success, but the dance group Pilobolusmay have pulled it off. Actually, that’s an understatement.

Since its inception in 1971 Pilobolus has grown (no pun intended) to become a worldwide phenomenon, featured on 60 Minutes in 2004 and performing at the 2007 Academy Awards. This is Pilobolus’s 37th year at the American Dance Festival, and it has become the must-see attraction, with an audience that comes back year after year for breathtaking lifts and acrobatic artistry. The night began with a demonstration of the troupe’s physical agility and creativity . With the Beatles’ “Birthday” playing in the background, dancers spelled out “ADF 75th” in a human alphabet shadowed onto a white screen. The curtain then rose to reveal a mystical darkness lit up fireflies. The piece, Lantern Magica, evoked images of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with fairy- and nymph-like creatures in a playful and everlasting game of search and pursuit. My favorite of the night, Magica brought out the child in me. The piece came alive with innumerable lifts that carried the dancers from one fairytale scene to another. Pilobolus showed an almost inhuman ability to create the illusion of weighdessness. Characters floated through the air, undulating and flowing in time to classical music. But beneath the beauty was the group’s undeniable physical strength. The first piece alone included a human boat, a human plane and two-person somersaults (two dancers in a crab-like embrace flipping over one another). The second piece, Symbiosis, a duet in which the two dancers, one man and one woman almost never lost physical contact, showcased the acrobatics in a primeval light. Here the dancers wore the least in terms of their outfits, but their sculpted bodies magnified the motions and poses. The highlight after intermission was the poignant solo, Nocturne, where an emotive, masked woman explored youth and age. In one of the most powerful uses of costume all night, the ribbon holding the mask to the woman’s face was unraveled and transformed into a walking cane. In near silence, a now-aged woman walked off with a quiet but resilient dignity. -

FESTIVAL

Pilobolus brings fanciful visionsback to life in a collection of performances filled with creative and physically daring dancers. Then came the experiment, the step %to the future: Darkness and Light. As during the introduction, the Pilobolus dancers now performed without the audience seeing them. Besides an intentional two-second pause in the beginning before the screen dropped down, viewers could only see lights held by dancers or the silhouettes of their bodies. On this new canvas, the audience saw sights reminiscent of microorganisms under a microscope, men and aliens, and—for lack of a better expression—jelly-like blobs engulfing one another. For some, this display was made all the more incredible because one could only guess at how the dancers created the subtle spastic vibrations of the amoeba-shaped objects. But the performance undeniably suffered from the audience’s

inability to physically see the dancers.

In any case, the piece is indicative of what the future of dance performance may hold. Throughout the evening, the troupe’s range was Impressive, as they moved from fairy tale to primeval man while still showcasing their signature style. Although Darkness and Light was not on par with the dancing exhibited in the rest of the performance, Nocturne is not to be missed. The images were unworldly.and amazing, but it changes the definition of dance to put a screen between the dancers and the audience. This reviewer may not be ready for the revolution—dancing without the dancers^—but until that day comes, I’ll still be holding my own.

he view from inside ADF

n intern's view into the creative outlets of modern dance by

Lauren Tam

THE CHRONICLE

On my first day as an intern for the American Dance ’estival, I had my first jarring epiphany. I found that my freshman year dorm room had been ransformed in to the “copier room.” Not only was my forner abode now air-conditioned and equipped with packiges of colored paper, the entire Wilson Residence Hall lad become an office building, complete with a receptionst and an ADF store. While the metamorphosis changed ny perception of my old home, my summer internship las caused other epiphanies in my perception of dance is well. 1 originally applied to be an intern for ADF because I longed to spend the precious days of summer doing something that I am truly passionate about: dance. I have trained in ballet, jazz, lyrical and tap nearly my entire life, but have only had limited exposure to modern styles, which is the main focus of ADF. Although I love dance, I have never pursued it during my summers in college because of the demands of the pre-med curriculum. My summers always involve research in a lab, reading scientific journals and preparing PowerPoint presentations for seminars. With my senior year fast approaching, I dared to do something different the last time around. At ADF I would immerse myself in the world of modem dance—one that emerges every summer right on Duke’s campus. As the school video intern, Ifilm everything from master classes and informal student showings to discussions with voting artists and repertory workshops. Through these opportunities to archive special events at ADF my internship allows me to experience multiple aspects of the festival. Besides recording, my days are spent taking an advance modem technique class ofmy choice, attending weekly in-

tem seminars and watching all of the ADF performances for free. I have been fortunate enough to sample some of the many distinct techniques of ADF’s accomplished faculty, such as Pam Pietro and Keith Thompson, and grateful to be exposed to the dozens of world-renowned dance companies lined up to perform in celebration of ADF’s 75th anniversary. In my experience so far, I have been surrounded by an environment that nurtures creativity and stimulates unity within the dance community. I constantly see individuals engaging in a dialogue through the ADF blog on the walls ofWilson dorm. If students watch a performance with other fellow dancers, they can participate in a criticism discussion the next day. They also share your work with peers in open showings and let loose at weekly “improv jams.” As an intern, dancer and audience member, my appreciation for dance has grown tremendously. All of my former training has been in styles that have a specific vocabulary of movement. When someone asks you about dance ballet, you can demonstrate that style easily with a plie, grand jete, or pirouette. When someone asks you to show modern dance, however, you wouldn’t know where to begin. The diversity of my experiences through ADF has generously broadened my idea of what dance is and has only emphasized the impossibility of defining it. I have learned that the spectrum of dance extends beyond “technique” classes—it encompasses the limitless quality ofhuman expression. Dance embraces the pulsing rhythms of African drums, the stillness of meditation and the frenetic compulsions of a twitch. In a place so familiar to me during the academic year, ADF has managed to unveil an entirely new world—one that has shown me what dance is from more angles than I thought possible.

Have there been challenges with the “Split Scenes” in terms of pairing companies together with similarrepertoire? When Charles and I first started thinking about curating this season, we wanted to show the widest breadth and depth of what the modern dance repertoire is, and show classic work from history, commission new work [and] represent the national and international companies and artists in the work. So we had this idea of all that we wanted to do and we started the think, “Yes, it would be terrific if we could put XYZ in one program because it makes a really nice fit.” In most cases, it sometimes worked out. But then there’s another factor that plays into it greatly, which is [that] when you’re trying to coordinate that many companies, their schedules don’t always work out to be available at the same times that you hoped. But I think that despite that, it ends up in away just as interesting, if not more, because there’s more diversity, which gives the audience a real range of work to look at. You’ve worked with a lot of other festivals and productions. What do you think makes ADF different? I think that ADF is unique—and I don’t like using that word often—but unique in the sense that it is an intensive, six-and-a-half week festival that brings together choreographers, dancers, scholars, critics [and] faculty, all together, and they’re working side-by-side, so there’s this incredible opportunity for exchange, and I think the amount of information in relation to sets, scene and form is life-changing. And you’re removed from most if not all of the struggles of day-to-day life. In away, you’re going to camp. And you get to do what you love to do for that intense period with 400-plus other people who share that same passion. It’s unusual to be surrounded by people who care so much about the same thing you do. ADF also runs a summer camp. How does that tie in with the performances aspect? We have a six-and-a-half week school, and the younger dancer school. They take classes four days a week, six hours a day, and on the weekend they have a big smorgasbord of dancing classes and other things that can’t fit into the regular schedule, ADF is the place where we train dancers for the choreographers, and by coming and training, dancers also get to see the different performances and they get to audition for different pieces in our season. We’re trying to bridge the training and the professional world together A lot of people don’t know this, but we offer tours to go behind-the-scenes and see what’s happening on East Campus. Modern dance is sometimes esoteric and for people that don’thave background into it, how would you say they should go about appreciating the variety? I think art is very subjective and personal. The thing with modern dance is that it has such a wide palette to choose from. It’s only by seeing many things that you can understand the wide range of this art form, so it’s allowing yourself to go to the theater, commit yourself to what’s happening there, and you take away what you want to take away from it. I think a lot of people go and don’t understand what they think they’re supposed to understand, but there isn’t something you’re supposed to understand. There are some very intellectual pieces and there are the other programs that are much more accessible. But that variety offlavor is, again, the richness of the art form.

Inside Joker awarded Rooftop prize by

Braden Hendricks THE CHRONICLE

The eyes of comedy aficionados across the nation turned to Duke when one of its own won the RooftopComedy National College Comedy Competition in May. Tim Ball, Trinity ’OB, won the three-tiered contest by beating out contestants from 31 schools at the university, regional and national level. The funny thing about Ball’s win, however, is that he participated in the original first round of the competition on a whim. “One day my friend Lindsay from Duke told me that Rooftop Comedy was having a national stand-up competition in search of the funniest college kid,” he said. “So I thought to myself, ‘Hey why not? I’ll give it a shot.’” Although he entered the competition upon his friend’s suggestion, Ball has thought about the entertainment business as a future. “Comedy is a passion of mine and I do want to pursue it as a career,” he said. If he chooses to continue this passion, Ball would be building upon a solid foundation of comedic experience from his time with Inside Joke, Duke’s sketch-comedy group. Kyle Knight, Trinity ’OB and last year’s president ofInside Joke, said Ball’s achievement was a significant one.. “He was in an audience-vote contest up against comedians from schools with three times the enrollment of Duke, and he won,” Knight said. “It means Duke students know comedy when they see it.” Indeed, his victory is even more noteworthy because he made it to the finals in Aspen as a wild card after losing to Mary Sasson of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the regional round. “I had to get voted back into the final-

A large contingency of Duke students came out in support of fellow contestants such as Ball, Varun Leila, Trinity ’OB and former editor of recess, junior Daniel Lewin and sophomore Prashant Swaminathan. Clearly, their presence paid off. While Leila and Swaminathan approached the subject of race and growing up Indian in America, and Lewin attacked UNC basketball star Tyler Hansbrough, Ball prepared a wide scope of content that ranged from commentary of the typical office environment to Spanish classes to reality shows. Making fun of such popular shows as the Maury Povich Show and MTV’s Next, Ball noted what he views as the ridiculous nature of modern television. More than just bringing up these subjects and discussing them, he incorporated voice imitations and body movements to ac-

lively convey his opinions to the audience. Ball said his performance in Aspen, available online at the RooftopComedy Web site, was delivered with confidence that veiled his internal panic. “I was so nervous that I threw up in the morning,” he said. Nevertheless, his poise translated into victory. Besides receiving a check for $l5OO, the exposure from the competition is a positive first step to a showbiz career. The prestige of winning a national competition could potentially be what Ball needs to get his foot in the door of the entertainment business. For the recent Duke graduate, the experience is simply a dream come true. And naturally, he’ll crack jokes about it. “I could not believe it. It was so surreal,” Ball said. “I did not know what to do except to smile and say thank you... and of course, go to a whorehouse afterwards.”

Summer style sounds fanfare for the common dothes by

Claire Finch

THE CHRONICLE

This summer, the sidewalk replaces the catwalk as individualistic street fashion commands the trends. The models to watch are not. the skinny creatures prancing around at fashion shows sporting haute couture creations but the nonchalant fashionistas you see on the subway during your daily commute. And high fashion is certainly reflecting the counter-fad, exemplified by quirky, of-the-moment statement pieces that look more like they came from a thrift store than Neiman’s. When asked what look represents the pinnacle of summer trendiness, employees of Olive and Bette’s boutique in Soho—known for peddling the most transiently popular pieces of contemporary sportswear from brands such as Joie and Splendid—responded unanimously: “Gladiators!” Indeed, the bondage-like strappy sandals, previously seen only on the most daring, are appearing this summer in record numbers. This season they’re most visible in eye-catching heights and metallics, but the popularity of such a unique item can only mean one thing—a quickly elapsing shelf-life. The same thing is true ofother distinct summer looks such as bold yellow tones and voluminous maxi-dresses—all of which were worn and abandoned by those truly in-the-know months ago. Similarly, leggings are so far gone that they’re almost

again—almost. Light summer scarves, though slowly creeping through Gaps and Targets na-

The popularity of an item as unique as gladiators can only mean one thing—a quicklyelapsing shelf-life. JESSIE TANG/THE CHRONICLE

Scarves and vests are among the must-haves In a style season that is putting the emphasis on accessories for both men and women. Middle Eastern scarf last made popular by Yasser Arafat. Lately, this scarf is hip to the point of being sold at every stand in Chinatown. It is also colored with a bit of alluring controversy: it caused the cancellation of Rachael Ray’s recent Dunkin’ Donuts ad after a complaint from a conservative pundit. Those who truly wish to stay ahead of curve may look for a different option, investing in scarves with unique patterns such as muted florals or African-inspired designs, which have been making an appearance in the second wave of summer clothing offerings. The main trend sweeping through the streets, though, is the high waist, visible in

its many forms throughout New York’s main shopping districts. For the stick-thin types, high-waisted pants and shorts (with the shirt tucked in, of course) are the way to go. As an added bonus, the look still seems risky enough that the pants you buy now will last at least through fall before you retire them to avoid appearing too slavish a follower of the trends. For those in search of a more flattering look, high-waisted skirts, both pencil and A-line, are the best figure-forgiving option. One look steadily edging into the main fashion scene is menswear—most obviously vests. From cotton to heavier poplin, vests are being sported by men and women alike as an accent to any outfit. Plus, because of

the style’s chic versatility, these pieces can be layered over cold-weather garb well into the fall. What has truly been accented this season is a return to unique personal style, and an attempt to break away from the mass-produced looks of past seasons. Funky menswear inspired pieces and eyecatching metallic fabrics that loudly assert individuality are here to stay, while the now-commonplace gladiators will soon be a memory. Certain looks may gain more mass appeal this summer, but the ultimate requirement for hipness is the same as every season: Looking like you got that way without trying.

WALL-E DIR. A. STRANTON

So far this summer, Hollywood has treated the masses to sexually liberated 40-somethings, an aged tomb raider and a pair of Marvel superheroes. But the most human and affecting characterof the summer isn’t even human. WALL-E, the titular character in Pixar’s latest film, Is an obsolete trash-compacting robot stranded on Earth. In the first minutes of the film, directorAndrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) exposes us to WALLE’s post-apocalyptic world covered by skyscrapers of garbage and remnants of corporate advertising. Because of all this garbage, humans have evecuated Earthand been mindlessly living for 700 years on an intergalactic cruise where bone density has given way to obesity. The first 40 minutes are sparse on dialogue and are the strongest part of the film. Stanton establishes a strong but not overpowering environmental and anti-consumerist message (ironic for a Disney film). The meatier story line in WALL-E, however, is between the title character and EVE, a sleek egg-shaped robot who comes to Earth with a classified mission. At first, EVE is abrasive, blowing up everything in sight

in her quest to complete her task. WALL-E soon wins her over with naive and affable charm, showing her his collection of Junk and his video of “It Only Takes a Moment” from Hello, Dolly— a scene that influences WALL-E’s idea that true love exists when two people hold hands. What is most remarkable about this love story is the expression of emotion. WALLE’s binocular eyes reveal his pain, wonderment and love in a stunningly affecting manner (Keanu Reeves could take a few lessons). Moreover, the two robots’ speech is limited to their names, yet each utterance of “WALL-E” or “EVE” is rife with emotion and meaning far deeper than the actual words. Nora Ephron, eat your heart out. As the film heads to outer space, the plot gives way to a Disney-fied HAL 9000 and a quiet satire of how technology has overtaken society. The animation is of course stunning and the humor broad enough to appeal to all audiences. But the heart of the film is still WALLE’s intrepid, loving spirit as he relentlessly, if foolishly, tries to help EVE complete her mission. WALL-E might be a glorified rusty metal box, but he is one of the warmest and most inspiring characters to come to theaters in a long time. —Andrew Hibbard

From his fascination with firearms to his star-studded funeral—which included a launching of his ashes—Hunter S. Thompson was an epic personality. So it is fitting that, as far as documentaries go, Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is a frenetic, celebrity-filled affair of grand proportions. Gonzo takes a straight-forward approach to the biographical documentary, addressing its subject’s life chronologically beginning with his Hell’s Angels phase. The methods of biography are standard protocol with a flair for the famous. The documentary boasts narration by Johnny Depp and interviews with Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Carter and Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner. Director Alex Gibney also employs Ralph Steadman drawings and clips from the 1998 adaptation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to great effect, charging and animating the story of Thompson’s life. In contrast to the dark tone of Gibney’s last two documentaries—Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) and the Oscar-winning, torture-themed Taxi to the Dark Side (2007) —Gonzo is rife with humor. The clips of Thompson at his zaniest play center stage and add the most authenticity to the film. But Gibney is not afraid of drawing political comparisons between the current politics and the war in Iraq and Thompson’s Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72 and Vietnam. While apt and likely to have garnered Thompson’s support, some of the parallels presented, such as the juxtaposition of soldiers in Vietnam and Iraq, feel out of place in the film. Gibney simply cannot overcome his political agenda. Nonetheless, Gibney’s portrayal of the father of Gonzo journalism is not all political rants and clips of the always-irreverent Thompson. The film’s final act focuses on Thompson’s personal demise, which coincided with the critical backlash against Thompson in the seventies and eighties. Interviews with his first wife and son add emotional depth to the documentary. With their accounts, the film reveals a Thompson deeper than the persona, but the film is careful to never present him as a tragic figure. Gonzo is both a tribute to Thompson

James

McAvoy has built himself as a

dashing leading man-a British one, no less.

But he throws that all out the window in Wanted to tackle the role of Wesley Gibson, a disaffected Chicago accountant straight out of a Chuck Palahniuk novel. After a tough day, Gibson finds himself in the crossfire between Fox (Angelina Jolie) and a rogue assassin. One physics-defying car chase later, Gibson is introduced to Sloan (Morgan Freeman), the head honcho of an elite band of assassins called The Fraternity. Sloan urges Gibson to join them and use his natural abilities. After some initial shock, he joins. Cue training montage. Director Timur Bekmambetov applies the frenzied camera work from his Night Watch films. We trace the trajectory of bullets, and slow motion shots become a little overused. The visual style is assaulting to the senses but more original than most of the Matrix derivatives from the past decade. Michael Brandt and Derek Haas penned the film, although to call it writing gives them a little too much credit Much like the pair’s 2003 feature 2 Fast 2 Furious, action and violence upstage dialogue and creative plot In fact, the scant dialogue assigned to headliners Common and Jolie make this seem like the latter’s her easiest paycheck yet What dialogue the writers did put down is so rife with f-bombs it makes them come across as angry 16-year-old boys. This explosion-heavy script does, however, drive home the film’s message that we should all take control of our lives by acting rather than being passively tolerant In spite of the predictable plot line, the film isn’t entirely vacant of thought Gibson questions The Fraternity’s reckless use of violence-and the violence in Wanted is reckless and gruesome indeed. Ultimately, the twohour gun fest renders the question null, but the film gets some points for putting some thought intowhat would otherwise be justanother mindless summer blockbuster. —Andrew Hibbard

know who our bandis. Those are things that we are fine with. We started a band to be the underappreciated band. To be like in 20 years, ‘Oh you never checked this band out, oh they were really seminal.’ We always sort ofhad that in mind, in a joking way.” Periiaps the most obvious manifestation of their originality is their live show. Vocalist Tim Harrington brings a duffel bag full of costumes thathe rotates throughout the show. His antics include kissing audience members and wandering around the stage in states ofundress. The defining element of their shows, however, is the improvisational spirit. “One thing we do is to never organize anything. We always ad lib everything,” Haynes said. “Humor plays a big part of, but it’s not like standup comedy. It’s a very stream-of-eonsciousness, performance-art type thing.” Although Harrington seems to be involved in his own performance, it is still very much a group show. “Tim is sort of doing his thing, we’re just sort of playing the music, but we’re all talking about the performance and the ideas behind the costumes and all the live energy,” Haynes said. “It might seem that Tim is doing his thing and we’re doing our thing, to a certain degree that’s true. But to another degree, we’re all kind of vibing off the same energy.” Haynes added that the live show is firmly rooted in a post-modem art ethic. “In the way we approach the live thing and the way we record, we’re all sort of influenced by the paradigms we learned in art school for making things—you know, trying not to be too illustrative. Trying to present pieces of informationand let people bridge the gap where they need to,” Haynes said. “I think that we’re also all conscious about this

idea [that]... there’s no art in being like the guy on the unicycle with the purple mohawk. The art is in the subtlety—not that Tim is that subde very often. I think even within Tim’s complete reckless abandon there are some little nuanced weird things. Even when Tim is thought of as being sort of confrontational, it actually could also be seen as sort of weird and child-like. Even though we’re very confrontational live, we’re'not macho. I think that’s a subtle thing that’s sometimes lost on people.” Coupled with Hayne’s involvement in the Triangle art scene, it is this improvisational art ethic that drew Trevor Schoonmaker, curator of the Nasher Museum of Arts’s Barkley Hendricks “Birth of the Cool” exhibition, to invite the band to play. Schoonmaker approached Duke Performances Director Aaron Greenwald to help coordinate the event Haynes said that the band loves to play in non-traditional venues, thus accounting for their previous gallery shows and their performance at the Museum of Modern Art. Playing at the Nasher was thus an easy choice, he said. “I joked about it once: Art museum tour. It started at the MoMA now it’s here,” Haynes said. The show will be a first on several counts. In addition to being the band’s first public concert in the area in five years, it is the first outdoor show for the Nasher. “The Triangle hasall these great indie rock bands and you can see them if you want to go to the Cradle but there’s no good, mid-sized outdoor venue,” Greenwald said. “There’s a sense of intimacy that artist and audience can have. We sort 0f... create an environment that’s different. Not to say it’s better than the Cradle, it’s just different” Les Savy Fav will also open the museum to a younger, hipper audience, Schoonmaker added. “I think getting young energy in the mu-

Just see if they can look beyond concert or exhibition and see interesting, noncommercial artistic production.” As for closing the Hendricks exhibition, both Haynes and Schoomaker said the band’s connections to the artist are small but notable. Both represent an intersection of visual and musical arts. Schoon-

maker also said both have been overlooked in their careers and are only now breaking into the mainstream, “There’s a pretty big gap culturally between us. There could have been more specifically appropriate bands that could have played the closing of the Barkley show,” Haynes said. “I like to have disparate things out there and have people make the connections. I think that’s what contemporary art is all about.”

Believing a choice utilizing the school colors of dark blue and white to be appropriate, the newspaper editors urged a selection from among the nominations ofBlue Titans, Blue Cagles, Polar Bears, Blue Devils, Royal Blazes, or Blue UUarriors. None of the nominations won strong favor but Blue Devils apparently had enough support to elicit the criticism that it would arouse opposition on the Methodist campus "for obvious reasons," and that it might prove risky and jeopardize football if a controversial name were used at that particular time. The football season passed with no official selection of a name.

During IDorld IDar I the Chasseurs fllpins, nicknamed "les Diables Bleus," were well known French soldiers. They first gained attention when their unique training and alpine knowledge was counted upon to break the stalemate of trench warfare in their native region of the French flips. Unfortunately the Vosges Campaign in March, 1915, failed to alter the status quo even though the Blue Devils won accolades for their courage. However, their distinctive blue uniform with flowing cape and jaunty beret captured public imagination. IDhen the United States entered the war, units of the French Blue Devils toured the country helping raise money in the war effort. Irving Berlin captured their spirit in song describing them as "strong and active, most attractive .. those Devils, the Blue Devils of France." .

Description;

Student Croups General This group is formembers of Duke's Class of 2012.

Fake IDs? I’m only 18, and I heard everyone on campus has a fake ID. Where’s the best place to score one and what are the best bars to use them at?

“Have you ever (i) been arrested, charged, or cited for any crime or (ii) been convicted of any offense other than a minor traffic volation?” □ Yes □ No (Excerpted from the Duke University Law School JD application, 2008)

The decisions you make at Duke will influence your future, including post-Duke opportunities. Think now about how you want to be able to answer questions similar to those above, whether on a graduate school application or during an interview with an employer. Make the most of your time at Duke, and let the decisions you make about how you conduct yourself be ones that you eagerly want to share! Welcome to Duke!

Working together with dorm-mates It turns out three of the people in my dorm are all with me in the same engineering class, so besides walking all the way to Teer together, we’re totally gonna share all of our homework and research.

Brought to you by the Undergraduate Judicial Board, the body of students, faculty, and staff who hear allegations of undergraduate misconduct and consider appropriate responses, including separation from Duke.

Top 3 Items Students Reported Missing or Stolen in 2007-08 Bicycles Never leave your bike unlocked or unattended at any time. Use a strong, U-shaped lock like the Kryptonite brand, and make sure it is securely attached to a bike rack or other grounded object. A U-lock should go around the rear rim and tire, somewhere inside the rear triangle of the frame. Most come with a free anti-theft warranty. -

Free MPBs and movies for all I can’t wait to get to campus and grab ail the best music, movies, and games, not to mention share my awesome collection with other people!

Laptop computers These can be taken quickly and easily, and -

from anywhere; the most common locations for computer theft are the libraries, residence hall commons rooms, and your OWN room. If you get up, even for five minutes to use the restroom, take all of your belongings with you. Keep your room or apartment door locked at all times.

Parties

I keep

hearing about all of the awesome off-campus parties with free booze, tons of people, lots of food, and loud music. How do I get invited to them?

Backpacks/Gym bags Many students have reported stolen -

bags from the side ball court while sh hoops. Put away y stuff in a locker (an* lock it). If you're working out,take your belongings with you to every station. To prevent

theft bring as

few items as needed to the gym.

over." Thus UUilliam H. Lander, as editor-in-chief, and Mike Bradshaw, as managing editor, of the Trinity Chronicle began the academic year 1922-23 referring to the athletic teams as the Blue Devils. Their class had been the first post-war freshmen and the student body was full of returning veterans so the name needed no explanation. Acknowledging that it was somewhat unpopular, they nevertheless believed it to be the best name nominated. Neither the college press nor the cheerleaders used the name that first year. In fact, The Chanticleer made fun of the selection and process by quoting someone saying "We will use blew dewies even if no one else does." Much to the editor's surprise no opposition materialized, not even from the college administration. The Chronicle staff continued its use and through repetition, Blue Devils eventually caught on. it

Today the origin of the university mascot is virtually forgotten even though its instant, national recognition has long been established, lilith the popular Red Devil mascot frequently being challenged throughout the country, the origin of Duke's Blue Devil is one of the most often requested items of information in the University Archives. Questioners are universally surprised to discover its origin is more military and patriotic than religious.

On behalf of the Duke University Honor Council, congratulations and welcome to Duke University! You have already taken the first step in joining a community that truly values and celebrates a tradition of honor, and you will enter Duke University as an equal caretaker of the culture of honor that has been cultivated on this campus since its inception. When you arrive on campus and attend convocation, you will be invited to sign the Duke Community Standard together with your new classmates. The Duke Community Standard was created collaboratively by students, faculty, and the administration as a framework that would outline the values and expectations to be upheld within the Duke community. Your signature will represent your commitment to uphold the principles upon which this university was founded the principles of honesty, respect, fairness and accountability. -

Open to all those seeking to learn

more about Hinduism Weekly open discussions where students talk about Hinduism in relation with college life, current events, family, and more...

The pledge that you make in signing the Community Standard is simple. Think of it as a code of conduct; it is a pledge not to lie, cheat or steal in your academic endeavors; to conduct yourself honorably in all your endeavors; and to act if the Standard is compromised. This last point refers to Duke University's Obligation to Act, the expectation that students will take some form of action if confronted with a violation of this community's principles. The action you choose is up to you. You are, after all, as much a caretaker of the well-being of this community as your neighbor. The student-run organization dedicated to promoting the values inherent in the Community Standard is the Duke University Honor Council. Through a variety of events and initiatives, we work to encourage the ongoing discourse of ethical issues both on this campus and in the greater world. Once again, congratulations. We look forward to welcoming you to Duke University you are the torchbearers in this long tradition of honor! -

*PPS 1955.17/HST 1955.17 Human Trafficking: Past and Present wear/// 1,4:25-6:55,Peck Over the past decade, the problem of human trafficking has grown exponentially, challenging the capacities of governments, human rights groups, and border bureaucracies to address the problem, and leading to a spate of new legislation, both at home and abroad. In this course, we seek to redress the history deficit in contemporary policy formation and implementation by examining the long history of human trafficking to North America from the 17tn century to the present. In so doing, we examine the historical roots of contemporary moral and policy dilemmas: should trafficked migrants be thought of as slaves? What has the role of race played in the creation and regulation of human traffic? Why are the forms and locations of human trafficking expanding today, more than a century after abolition? Along the way, students will also hone their research and writing skills. *PPS 134D.01The Politics of Civic Engagement MW, 10:05-11:20,Korstad

This course explores ethical issues related to civic engagement by college students, their reasons for participating, the goals of the university in sponsoring their summer experiences, and the impact they had on the people and organizations they worked with. Students will read books and articles from different political perspectives on the value and appropriateness ofcivic engagement. PPS 1405.01 Women as Leaders WF, 10:05-11:20,Seidman This course will teach students to better understand the challenges and opportunitiesfacing women in their quest to practice leadership in public life. Students will understand the historical roots of our conceptions of leadership and the ways American women have worked with, around and on those ideas over the last two centuries *PPS 195.06 Communication& Public Policy WF. 1:15-2:30, Entman This course will acquaint students with theories about the nature, sources and effects of the mediated communication on politics and public policy. Empirical case studies will include media framing of foreign policy mishaps under Carter and Reagan; journalistic treatment of scandals and electoral campaigns involving both Bushes and both Clintons; media impacts on war and peace; roles of infotainment movies, product commercials and TV entertainment in shaping political attitudes and policy; and political advertising. The course will teach students how to formulate, research and evaluate their own theory-based hypotheses on the impacts of the media in the policy process. PPS 1955.10/PPS 2645.10 CollectiveAction Development & Env W, 1:30-4:00, Pfaff Many have pushed for the inclusion of affected groups' representatives within decision making. From the US ERA to the World Bank, processes are changing. The impact of this on outcomes, though, deserves evaluation. Are participatory decisions better? All of them?Even when technical detail is involved? And what does "participatory" mean? And whose definitionof "better"? We draw on many settings, most within developing countries. Water (both quantity and quality) issues provide many examples. Concepts of and behavior regarding equity are foci. The impact of providing scientific information to decision bodies is central. *PPS 264.15 Demography, Democracy in Africa

TTH. 1:15-2:30, Smith

With almost half its population (44 percent) under the age of fifteen, Africa constitutes a striking exception on a- globally "graying planet": in the United States and Europe, the "oldest-old "category (above 85 years) is henceforth the fastest growing segment of the population, while Asia and South America are aging much more rapidly than was historically the case for industrialized societies. Only sub-Saharan African has not even commenced its demographic transition. This class will examine what could potentially be, as much as ethnicity or poverty, a major key for the understanding of contemporary Africa. Yet, demographic studies on Africa have so far suffered from a disconnect with social sciences and, especially, public policy. -

PPS 2645.11 Economics of Reparations TTH 4:25-6:55, Darity This course will explore the rationale for compensatory payment for a grievous injustice to a group that has been demarcated racially or ethnically. Special i attention will be drawn to the case for and against reparations for African Americans, historical precedents for payment of reparations, and casino rights mechanisms as a form of reparations for native Americans in the USA. The economics content of the course will focus on procedures for calculating the magnitude of the reparations payments and the consequences of the payment for the relative income and wealth position of the payee and the recipient groups. *

Will you study too much? Will you study enough? Will you study effectively? Will there be a good fit between the way you

think/learn and the way your professors teach? College courses aren't just harder versions of your high school classes. History, chemistry, and math courses, for example, will require you to think and study in fundamentally new and different ways that are crucial for you to understand. Make an appointment with an ASIP instructor and better understand the nature and demands of the courses you will be taking, as well as how you, personally, think'and learn--right from the start. We are a professional staff with extensive and wide ranging experiences with the Duke undergraduate curriculum, the faculty teaching the courses you will be taking, and Duke students, many of whom think and learn like you do. We are a reliable source of information and a valuable resource for you to use to reach your academic goals.

In an ASIP conference you can develop an individualized study plan that matches the way you think and learn, as well as the demands of your specific courses this Fall. You can learn effective ways to prioritize in the face of the multitude of academic and extra-curricular opportunities that will be available. In addition, an ASIP instructor can assist you in deciding which other Duke resources may benefit you.

The course explores the various forms of popular culture in postwar Japan as away of understanding the changing character of media, capitalism, fan communities, and culture. The course is divided into six units with each centered on a particular cultural icon: Gojira, Astro Boy, Takarazuka, Hello Kitty, Pikachu and Yon-sama. Each unit will trace not only the development of each iconic figure, but also expand to analyze related issues such as post-nuclear dystopia, gender play and fandom, commodifying cuteness and female sexuality, transnationalism, the culture of globalization and postcolonial Japan/Korea.

Trauma

This course considers traumatic transformations in Koreans] throughout the long twentieth century and beyond. Experiences of colonialism, wars, national division, American military occupation, dictatorships, hyperdevelopment, and global displacements will be examined through personal and political (re)presentations in cinematic and literary texts. We consider the shifting location of Korea in regional and global contexts of ongoing imperialisms and wars, through old and new dynamics within Asia as well as in exacerbating encounters with the “West”especially with on-going American hegemonic presence/absence. Throughout the course we shall interrogate the power dynamics and the boundaries of coloniality/ modernity, history/memory, sex/gender, imperialism/occupation, and intimacy/war.
