He added that the absence of significant reductions exemplifies the University’s commitment to using its resources on its academic programs.

“It means that we have tightened our belts in context of the decline in revenues,” Lange said.

Members of the International Travel Oversight Committee voted unanimously to remove Mexico from its restricted regions list May 15, reflecting reduced concerns about thedangers of the new HINI virus, commonly known as swine flu.

“We thought that by this time the public health risk was no worse than the risk in New York,” said Gilbert Merkx, vice provost for international affairs and ITOC chair. “We have other people who are waiting to go to Mexico to do research and things like that, and we didn’t want to take that away from them.”

'Slumdog'slum demolished in India MUMBAI The nine-year-old girl who starred in "Slumdog Millionaire" dodged pieces of falling debris Wednesday as she tried to salvage twisted metal and splintered wood—all that remained of her bubble-gum pink home after authoritiesdemolished part of a city slum where she lived.

Months after their movie swept the Oscars, Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, 10, are both sleeping on hard dirt, wondering when they too might go from slumdog to millionaire. Azharuddin's home was demolished last week.

"I'm feeling bad," Rubina told The Associated Press. "I'm thinking about where to sleep."

Wednesday's demolitions took place because the slum houses were in the way of a planned pedestrian overpass, said a railway official who refused to be named. Such demolitions are common in India's chaotic cities.

The 2,600-page report painted the most detailed and damning portrait yet of church-administered abuse in a country grown weary of revelations about child molestation by priests.

The investigation of the tax-supported schools uncovered previously secret Vatican records that demonstrated church knowledge of pedophiles in their ranks all theway back to the 19305.

New Iran missiles are a big concern A

WASHINGTON The missile test-fired by Iran is the longest-range solid-propellent missile it has launched yet,a U.S.government official saidWednesday, raising concerns about whether the sophistication of Tehran's missile program is increasing The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss technical details of Iran's missile program, said Tehran has demonstrated shorter-range solid-propellent missiles in the past.

Solid-propellentrockets are a concern because they can befueled in advance and moved or hidden in silos, the official said.Liquid-propellent rockets have to be fueled and fired quickly, which makes preparations for launches easier to monitor and would allow a preemptive strike if necessary.

But according to Defense Secretary Robert Gates,whoWednesdayprovided the first official U.S.confirmation of the Iranianlaunch, the Iranian missile had a range 0f2,000 to 2,500 kilometers.

That translates to 1,200to 1,500 miles, putting Israel,U.S.bases in the Mideast, and parts of Eastern Europe within striking distance.

Fraudulent e-mails seek student info by

Reshma Kalimi THE CHRONICLE

Last week, several members of the Duke community received a fraudulent e-mail from a sender called “Duke Webmail Webmaster online” requesting the recipients’ e-mail addresses and passwords in order to implement an anti-virus “clean up” on their computers.

The March 13 e-mail told recipients that failure to provide their information would result in the immediate termination of their Duke Webmail accounts.

This type of spam e-mail falls under the category of “phishing.” According to the Office ofInformation Technology’s “Guide to Information Security,” phishing involves sending deceptive e-mails that are “attempts to get you to provide sensitive, personal information that can lead to identity theft and other crimes.”

“These attacks happen all the time,” said Steve O’Donnell, senior communications strategist for OIT. OlT’s current security system receives new spam updates from an automatic vendor every 15 minutes. Although the influx of spam is virtually continuous, phishing “comes in bursts and clumps,” said Artem Kazantsev, senior security analyst for the OIT Security Office.

A few members of the Duke community did reply to the phishing e-mail and the consequences were significant, said Paul Homer, OlT’s chief information security officer.

The attacker utilized stolen information to log into Duke Webmail and subsequently send more spam messages using

the victim’s e-mail address. This spamming caused Duke Webmail to be classified as a hack site on numerous servers and prompted other sites, such as Comcast and Hotmail, to block all messages from Webmail, said Chris Colomb, OIT senior analyst for e-mails and messaging services.

“The biggest damage was to Duke’s reputation on networks,” Colomb said. “As soon as we were classified as ‘spammers,’ all types of business e-mails were blocked.

This keeps our e-mail off the network and we lose access to thousands of places. It’s like saying not only are you prevented from driving to your friend’s house, but you’re banned from the whole interstate.”

Noticing the pileup of unsent mail last week, OIT identified the accounts that had been compromised and contacted the users to change their passwords.

“This also prevents other resources that they have access to from being compromised,” Kazantsev said. “Duke Net ID allows students to manage their bursar account or college finances. If attackers get more creative there is a lot at stake.”

OIT works to trackand combat two kinds of phishing. The recent string of e-mails constituted the first, which relies entirely on e-mail-based communication. A second type includes a specially crafted link that the recipient is asked to click. These links are engineered to closely resemble legitimate and often popular Web sites.

“It’s like forging a check or forging money,” Colomb said.

Neuroscientist, 76, leaves legacy at Med Center

By Toni Wei THE CHRONICLE

Dr. Saul Schanberg, internationally known neuroscientist and professor of pharmacology and cancer biology, died in his home Friday at the age of 76, after battling cancer for several years.

Schanberg served as acting chair of the department of pharmacology from 1988 to 1991, until Tony Means, the current chair of the department of pharmacology and cancer biology, was hired as a formal replacement in 1991.

“He was always a very honest person, he was someone who always spoke his mind and would offer his opinion,” Means said.

“You always knew where you stood with him, and that’s not true with everyone.”

Schanberg was a guide to many of his students, said Cindy Kuhn, professor of pharmacology and cancer biology, who studied under Schanberg in graduate school and went on to collaborate with him throughout her career.

“He was both a mentor and a colleague and a very good friend, and he was one of the most generous people I know,” Kuhn said. “He would talk to anybody, he was energetic and he loved to argue about scientific ideas.”

Dr. Redford Williams, director of the Behavioral Medicine Research Program, also praised Schanberg’s skill as an advisor, adding that the people Schanberg trained over the years have gone on to make major contributions to scientific research.

Schanberg held a Career Scientist Award from the National Institute of Men-

tal Health for a large portion of his career.

He also served as assistant director of the Behavioral Medicine Research Program.

Williams said Schanberg was instrumental in the success of the program, adding that he was a source of basic knowledge for the group.

“We have a very large group of people here at the Medical Center working on behavioral medicine, and from the very beginning, Saul was the senior, wise head advising us all,” Williams said. “This group is still going strong, and it is very much indebted to what he taught us.”

Besides mentoring others, Schanberg himselfmade many scientific contributions to his field, the most significant being the study of mother-infant interactions and the role of touch, Williams said. “[He discovered] that touching rat pups in a nurturing way by the mother contributed to their growth and development, and he even documented the molecular mechanisms,” Williams said, adding that Schanberg’s research showed the same phenomenon applied to premature human babies.

Kuhn, who worked with Schanberg on his studies involving touch, said he treated his role as a professor with the same enthusiasm as his research. She added that he was very energetic, and he encouraged students to interact and ask questions.

Schanberg’s wife Rachel has asked for memorial donations to the Duke Cancer Patient Support Program, which she founded in 1987 in honor ofher daughter Linda, who died of Hodgkin’s Disease at age 26.

Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta will travel to Croatia this Fall on a Fulbright research scholarship to study different models of student services at Croatian universities.

V.R Moneta to leave for Croatia on Fulbright Lindsey Rupp THE CHRONICLE

Much of the junior class will pack their bags to go abroad this Fall, and Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta will be joining in their departure.

Moneta will travel to Croatia on a Fulbright research scholarship from the Council for International Exchange of Scholars to study student services at many Croatian universities. He also plans to explore to other central European universities and will return to Duke in January 2010, “40 years later than everybody else,” Moneta said.

“Right now I’m thinking this is still someone else’s life,” Moneta said. “I’m still running around to meetings, I’m still planning the Fa 11.... There’s a part of my brain that’s totally focused on the upcoming academic year, but then every now and then I remember I won’t be here for the first part ofit.”

He said he hopes to use his research to assess how Duke provides student services and come back with new ideas.

“I think this will give me a chance to review what we do and justify it, and I think that’s a healthy thing in this economic environment,” Moneta said. “I’m not going in with a parochial view that the way we do things is the best way to do things or the only way to do things.”

While he is abroad, Moneta’sjob at Duke will be divided among his three assistant vice presidents —Zoila Airall, assistant vice president of student affairs for campus life, Caroline Nisbet, assistant vice president of student affairs for resource administration and Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek. Moneta said he is confident the staff will successfully handle his responsibilities.

Wasiolek said she looks forward to

learning about the University from Moneta’s perspective, although the new responsibilities may add more to her already busy schedule.

“I think it’s going to be very exciting and challenging all at the same time,” she said. “I am eager to take on the new responsibilities for the semester, as opposed to anxious. And I think I’m eager first and foremost because I know that [my] staff will be able to do well in all of their capacities even with my attention somewhat diverted.”

Communication with students will still continue in Moneta’s absence, said senior Spencer Eldred, Duke Student Government vice president for student affairs. Although he would have worked most closely with Moneta, Eldred said he will keep Moneta informed throughout the Fall.

“Most of the things that we’ve done have usually involved multiple administrators anyway... and it was great to have Dr. Moneta’s voice at the table as well, but Dean Sue especially seems like someone who’s great to work with,” he said. “Working with more than one administrator is more difficult, but usually on big decisions it’s helpful to get the opinion of three people anyway.”

Moneta’s parents were born in Poland, and Moneta said he looks forward to learning more about Croatia, which he called “a fascinating country.” While abroad, Moneta said he hopes to write about his experiences.

Still, his presence at Duke will be missed by many.

“He will definitely be missed,” Wasiolek said. “I’ve kidded him that without him around we are going to party all the time. He knows that’s not true, though.”

Judge calls for Nicholas school professor dismissal of tapped as EIA administrator Giuliani’s suit U.S. District Court Judge Wallace Dixon recommended the dismissal of Andrew Giuliani’s lawsuit against Duke Wednesday.

Durham attorney Bob Ekstrand, Law ‘9B, filed suit against the University last July on behalf of Giuliani, Trinity ’O9 and son of former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani. The suit alleges that Giuliani was illegally terminated from the golf team by former head golf coach O.D. Vincent last February, and requests an unspecified amount of damages.

In his Wednesday recommendation, Dixon—employing golf jargon—wrote that Giuliani “tees up his case” by alleging that he was removed from the team without warning or opportunity for defense. “[Giuliani] contends that all elements for a breach of contract were properly alleged,” Dixon wrote. “His analysis, however, slices far from the fairway.”

Dixon also wrote that Giuliani was changing arguments “like trying to change clubs after hitting the golf ball.”

Giuliani’s filing alleges that his termination is a breach of University policy and procedures, and breaks a previous agreement with former head golf coach Rod Myers that granted Giuliani “lifetime access” to the University’s golf facilities. The golfer also alleges that the matter violates a contract with the team and the University.

The University’s defense filing, however, states that Giuliani’s suspension was the result of several incidents, including breaking a club, throwing an apple at a teammate and becoming verbally abusive with a trainer.

Dixon said the athlete’s termination was legal because the golfer and the University did not sign a legal contract.

“The case is going forward,” Ekstrand said, according to The New York Daily News. “And Andrew is an honorable, fantastic young man and he is looking forward to his day in court.”

PHISHING from page 3 OlT’s sophisticated blocking system protects differently for each type of phishing, Colomb said.

“With the first type, we’re blocking the incoming email address or gateway and then we investigate who holds the address and inform the appropriate authority,” he added.

“The biggest damage was to Duke’s reputation on networks.

As soon as we were classified as ‘spammers/ all types of business e-mails were blocked.”

Chris Colomb, OIT senior analyst But it remains much easier to block links using a specific information technology blocking feature which allows the compromising addresses to be plugged into a spam line so that even if the user receives the e-mail and tries to clink the link, no information will be leaked, Kazantsev said. Attackers, however, are both savvy and persistent. When they see that their tactics are not successful, they adapt—making spam-control an ongoing problem, Kazantsev added.

Horner said the best way to prevent future information leaks is through continued awareness education.

“If someone is asking for your credentials, never, never, never supply them,” Kazantsev said. “No one in the security or technical area would ever ask for authenticating information via e-mail. So any message for information is not only suspect, it is fraudulent.”

Horner also noted that all action against phishing must be a joint effort between IT Security Services and the Duke community.

“Not knowing about IT security is like not wearing your seat belt in your car or food preparation without washing your hands,” Colomb said. “It’s the basics.”

President Barack Obama nominated Duke professor Richard Newell to be Administrator of the Environmental Information Administration Monday, according to a White House news release.

Newell, the Gendell Associate Professor of Energy and Environmental Economics at the Nicholas School of theEnvironment, must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate before taking his post. If confirmed, Newell will be in charge of the official energy statistics of the U.S. government, according to the EIA Web site.

“I am confident that Richard Newell will serve President Obama and our country with the same

diligence, insight and clarity he has brought to his teaching and research at Duke,” William Chameides, dean of the Nicholas School, said in a statement.

As a branch of the Department of Energy, the EIA is considered the leading source for unbiased statistical information concerning the supply, production and consumption ofall energy sources.

Newell has been a member of Duke’s faculty since 2007. Prior to his arrival at the University, Newell has served as the senior economist for energy and the environment on the President’s Council ofEconomic Advisers for the Bush administration.

Due to the pending status of his nomination, Newell declined to comment.

MEXICO from page 1

BUDGET from page 1

Although DukeEngage participants in Arizona can now visit Mexico as part of their program, the decision came too late for participants of Duke in Mexico, whose program was relocated to Durham. The Office of Study Abroad gave students the option not to participate in the relocated program or to apply to another abroad program if students did not wish to study in Durham, Margaret Riley, associate dean and director ofStudy Abroad wrote in an e-mail.

sifying financial aid as a reduction in revenue rather than an expense, thus removing it from the budget total.

Mohan Venkatachalam, associate professor of accounting in the Fuqua School of Business, said this change could reflect the University’s view of tuition as a form of revenue.

“The net effect [of making financial aid a reduction in revenue] is going to be the same whether you are over—or under—[budget] at the end of the day,” Venkatachalam said. “This change may change the way you think about trends in tuition revenue.... One could argue that if financial aid is provided, my true revenue has gone down, and that might be the right way to represent it....

This is one way economically to think about it.”

This year’s budget does not reflect any major changes, but Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, said having a flat budget “is

“We thought that by this time the public health risk was no worse than the risk in New York.”

Gilbert Merkx, ITOC Chair Five of the original 19 students in the intermediate level Spanish group will attend the relocated program in Durham, Riley said. The beginning level group was canceled due to lack ofinterest.

“While we all understand that relocating the program was not the ideal situation, we also have to remember that this situation was evolving very rapidly in early May—when decisions had to be made in order to give us the opportunity to pursue alternatives for the students,” Riley said. “The University relied on the best available information and guidance from public health officials and our own specialists. The paramount priority in any situation such as this is student safety.”

Riley added that Study Abroad considered moving the program to another Spanish-speaking country, but such a move was impossible “given the logistical complications.”

Josh Sanchez, a junior who chose not to participate in the Duke in Mexico programand attend Duke in Australia instead, said students who wished to apply to another abroad program only had to submit a new personal statementrather than complete a whole new application.

Study abroad classes that were relocated to Duke began this week. Sikoya Ashbum, a sophomore who opted to remain in the Durham program, said the students have weekly field trips and community service opportunities to expose them to Hispanic culture in Durham, in addition to their coursework.

“Tomorrow night, for example, we’re going to take Salsa lessons, which we’re all looking forward to taking,” she wrote in an e-mail. “Although they weren’t able to allow us to go to Mexico, they’re finding interesting ways to bring Mexico to us.”

Still, Ashburn, who hopes to study in Costa Rica and Madrid later in her Duke career, said she is glad she decided to take part in Duke in Mexico on campus.

“I am disappointed that I am not currently in Mexico, but I am not disappointed with my choice of sticking with the program,” she said.

not insignificant.”

“Typically, expenses go up every year for inflation, for salary increases, for things like that,” he said. “So on one level, from year to year, a flat budget is actually a budget cut.”

Still, the University is looking to make more visible cuts.

Executive Vice President Tallman Trask said he expects to cut the deficit by $5O million this year. Employee expenses comprise two-thirds of the budget, Trask said, and the remaining third “is difficult to deal with” and includes many fixed costs. Therefore, many efforts to make cuts involve employees—eliminating vacant positions, freezing salaries and offering retirement incentives to 825 bi-weekly employees who have worked at Duke for more than 10 years or are at least 50 years old.

Trask said the major variable in reaching this year’s $5O million goal is the number of employees who accept the retirement incentives.

“That’s the big unknown,” he said. “The offers are on the table, if everyone took it—which they [will] not—thatwould be a $5O million reduction..,. If we get 20 percent or 60 percent to accept, that radically alters what we have to do next” The University will know by the second week of July how many employees plan to retire, Trask said.

Still, retirement incentives are not the only thing on administrators’ minds when trying to reduce the budget.

Trask said he thinks the University can eliminate the deficit with retirement incentives and Duke Administrative Reform Team cuts, adding that a three-year hiring or salary freeze is unrealistic. Because revenue and expenses are “moving parts” and are subject to change, Trask said he cannot define exactly how or where cuts will occur.

If the University makes major changes to the budget, it will resubmit it to the trustees, Trask said, but for now it is a living document.

“What I’m assuming is we’ll have a big recalibration of everything in the Fall, and then we’ll know where we are and what to do next,” he said.

In the meantime, Schoenfeld said units within the University are looking for ways to save, “At the school level and at the department level, every

dean and senior officer has the responsibility of managing the budget in that area with an eye toward reduction,” he said. “So the way that one deals with a budget situation like the one we have here in a very complex research university is not by simply decreeing a reduction in budget because there are many moving parts.”

Reduction will be particularly important next year,

when Trask said endowment returns are expected to be down 30 percent. The endowment makes up 18 to 20 percent of the University’s operating budget, Lange said.

Amid the cuts, Duke has increased undergraduate financial aid by 17.1 percent and graduate aid by 6.7 percent. Trask said the University anticipates current students will need more aid in the economic climate, but will not know how much aid the incoming freshman class will need until next month.

“We’ll have to see what the demand is,” Trask said.

“We’re committed to meeting whatever the demand is, and we may have to cut other things to meet that demand.

It’ll be more deep cuts in the DART kind of areas. We are trying to protect students and academic programs.”

The 2009-2010 fiscal year budget also includes a 3.9 percent increase in undergraduate tuition, room, board and fees to a $48,895 total.

Even while the University tries to close its deficit, Lange said students can expect Duke to remain committed to being an affordable institution.

“We are not going to change our financial aid program in away which will deliver less resources to needy families,” he said.

With 9:55 left ANNAPOLIS, Md. in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s NCAA tournament quarterfinal, the No. 3 Blue Devils led No. 6 North Carolina, 12-8, and had an opportunity to all but seal the win. Mike Catalino rushed the ball upfield and found Max Quinzani, whose shot struck the crossbar and bounced high into the air.

Freshman Robert Rotanz then sprinted into the middle of the offensive zone, ,_ i leaped to catch the BKwfS UNC /*' ball and fired a shot in midair, but Tar DUKE Z Heel goalkeeper James Petracca recovered impressively and made the save.

What followed was a sequence of three North Carolina goals in three minutes to set up a nerve-wracking finale. After looking like they might fade away, the Tar Heels (12-6) came roaring back to cut the deficit to one, 12-11.

But in the final six minutes of action, the Blue Devils showed a newfound poise, and Duke (15-3) held on for the one-goal win at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium to advance to its third straight Final Four.

Duke will play No. 2 Syracuse (14-2) Saturday at noon at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

After North Carolina scored its final goal, Sam Payton won a faceoff, and the Blue Devils hung onto the ball for nearly two minutes. Soon after, Petracca was called —\

for a penalty, leaving the Tar Heels shorthanded and chasing the ball during the crucial late stretch. And as soon as North Carolina recovered possession, defenseman Parker McKee forced a turnover to give the Blue Devils control once again.

Duke held onto the ball until only 20 seconds remained in the contest, and on North Carolina’s hail-mary attempt, Sean Delaney shot wide of goal to ensure the win for Duke.

“I thought our guys played hard—it wasn’t always smooth, wasn’t easy, but we figured out how to hang in there and how to win, and that might help us in the long run,” head coach John Danowski said.

The Blue Devils were led Sunday by senior Ned Grotty, who scored twice and dished out six assists on the day. Grotty leads the nation in scoring with 76 points on the year, is a finalist for the Tewaaraton trophy and will play in his third straight Final Four.

But he said getting to the national semifinals this year meant more to him than in the past because of the progress his squad has made.

Duke lost to Johns Hopkins by a single goal in the national championship game two seasons ago, and was upset again by the Blue Jays in the semifinal round last year, also by one goal. “[Advancing to the Final Four again] is very fulfilling, and probably much more so than the two that have come before it... simply because of how far we’ve come,” Grotty said. “I don’t think anybody ever SEE M.

Point guard John Wall, the nation’s top unsigned prospect in the Class of 2009, committed to Kentucky Tuesday after strongly considering both Duke and Miami. Wall’s recruitment lasted several months, but Wall ultimately chose to play for the Wildcats under head coach John Calipari.

Had Wall decided to play for the Blue Devils and head coach Mike Krzyzewski, Duke would have been projected as one of the top teams in the country going into the 2009-10 season. Instead, the Blue Devils’ immediate future looks less certain after not signing Wall and having All-American Gerald Henderson formally sign with an agent Tuesday. Doing so made Henderson ineligible to return to Duke.

Calipari coached Memphis for the last nine seasons, and turned the Tiger program into a national powerhouse based largely on aggressive point guard play. Current Chicago Bulls point guard and NBA Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose played under Calipari for one season, and Wall is expected to do the same before jumping to the NBA. Wall had not seriously considered Kentucky before Calipari took over last month.

“It’s an exciting offense—l like the way Coach Calipari has the point guard doing a lot of work,” Wall told ESPN Tuesday.

In the last four years, Duke has missed out on four of its top recruiting targets—Wall, current Georgetown forward Greg Monroe, Kentucky forward Patrick Patterson, and former North Carolina forward Brandan Wright.

Blue Devils 20 back after Day 2

Zsilinszka helped set the early tone for Duke’s success in the doubles competition, notching an 8-4 win with Ellah Nze over the Golden Bears’ No. 3 pair.

Meanwhile, the No. 2 duo of freshman Mallory Cecil and senior Jessi Robinson was pitted in a tough match against Cal’s Marina Cossou and Claire Ilcinkas. With Cecil and Robinson up 6-4, Ilcinkas suffered an injury to her right leg which required a trainer’s attention.

Ilcinkas returned to the court, but her mobility was severely limited, leaving the Golden Bears shorthanded as Cecil and Robinson rolled to an 8-5 victory.

The win secured the all-important doubles point for Duke, which was an impressive 24-1 in matches this year when it won the doubles point.

“When they called my name and said MVP, I was like, “Wait, what?”

Reka Zsilinszka, NCAA tournament MVP “The doubles point for us this season has been absolutely huge,” Zsilinszka said.

“It seems like its just one point, but from our match in Miami [Apr. 19], we won 4-3 in the ACC finals because of the doubles point. That’s why we were so fired up in the doubles. We had to win the doubles point. That was huge and gave us all the momentum going in.”

The Blue Devils flew out of the gates in singles as well, with Zsilinszka, Cecil, Robinson, Granson and Mang all winning

After 36 holes at the NCAA Championships in Owings Mills, Md., the Blue Devils are all alone in 12th place, 20 strokes off the impressive pace being set by UCLA. All five Duke players performed better Wednesday than they had Tuesday, and the team carded a 301, a seven-shot improvement over its score the day before.

CHRONICLE

Eliah Nze and Reka Zsilinszka scream with delight after Duke defeated California in College Stationjexas. their opening sets. Zsilinszka said that the quick start fired up the team and built on the momentum Duke had generated in doubles.

Working quickly in the second set, Zsilinszka put away Cal’s Mari Andersson 6-1, 6-2 to win the team’s first singles point and raise the Blue Devils’ overall point total to two.

Meanwhile, Robinson fought back from an early 4-1 second set deficit, winning five straight games to earn Duke a third overall point with a 6-2,64 victory.

Needing only one more team point to secure a national title, fellow senior Mang roped

in a forehand winner to seal a 6-1, 6-3 win and the NCAA crown.

At the end of their Duke careers, it seemed almost poetic that the team’s pair of senior co-captains—Mang and Robinson—would score the match’s final two points in rapid succession and close out the biggest win in the program’s long, succesful history.

“It hasn’t quite sunk in yet, but it’s unbelievable,” Mang said. “I’m just so proud of these girls. To win this with Jess [Robinson] in our senior year is amazing. I could not ask for anything better.”

“I just get a good feeling from the team,” head coach Dan Brooks said.

“There were some really good, quality shots that went on today. I wish we would have made up more ground but you cannot feel bad about the effort.”

Despite the improvement on Day 2, the Bruins’ hot play threatened to turn the tournament into a rout. UCLA trailed Denver by two stroke after the first round, but carded a tournament-best 293 Wednesday to take a seven-stroke lead with a score of 13-over par.

On the individual side, senior Amanda Blumenherst set the pace for Duke with a one-over 73, putting her at four-overfor the tournament. Blumenherst won the NCAA individual title in 2006 and 2007, but trails UCLA’s Maria Jose Uribe by seven strokes with 36 holes still to play.

Blumenherst finished the day in a tie for 14th place.

BASEBALL from page 9 Wednesday, though, Duke did not get the hitting or pitching it needed to take down the Tar Heels, a team it had defeated twice in the regular season.

The Blue Devils managed to stay in the game for six innings thanks to some sparkling defensive plays, but UNC star Dustin Ackley slammed two home runs to help North Carolina pull away.

Starting pitcher Adam Warren helped his own cause with a terrific performance from the mound, throwing 8.1 innings and giving up just three runs in the 7-1 win.

The Blue Devils ((34-22, 15-15) would not have even been on the field Wednesday if not for their efforts against Georgia Tech last weekend. Duke needed at least one win

in the three-game series to qualify for the conference tournament.

Junior Christopher Manno took the mound in the series opener Thursday having won four out of his last seven ACC starts. But Georgia Tech’s Deck McGuire—the undefeated ACC Pitcher of the Year—outplayed Manno, giving up only two runs over eight innings to lead the Yellow Jackets (34-15-1, 17-10-1) to a 10-3 victory.

Following the loss, the Blue Devils used timely hitting and superb defensive play to break out of their slump and take two out of three from a top-10 opponent for the second time this season.

On Friday, senior Andrew Wolcott put the team on his back for a 64 win. Duke’s only All-ACC first team selection pitched a complete game, scattering 11 hits and four runs over nine innings.

Shortstop JakeLemmerman hit a two-run home run Sunday to clinch Duke's series win against GeorgieTech.

After junior rightfielder Alex Hassan’s three-run home run staked the Blue Devils to a 4-1 lead after two innings, Wolcott ran into trouble during the fourth frame and gave up three runs.

Wolcott did not let the momentary lapse rattle him, however, and proceeded to hold Georgia Tech scoreless for the rest of the game.

The Blue Devils clinched an ACC Tournament berth with the victory, so a win in the rubber game was not essential. But McNally said capturing the series was important to give his seniors a proper send-off in their last home game and to create positive momentum heading into the postseason.

Saturday, Duke’s hurlers picked up where they left off, as freshman Eric Pfisterer pitched a gem and made his case for becoming the team’s regular No. 3 starter. The rookie allowed only two hits and one run in 5.1 innings of work, while the Blue Devils continued to produce runs under pressure.

With the score tied at three, sophomore shortstop Jake Lemmerman quickly put Duke on top in the seventh frame with arguably the most clutch hit of the series: a two-run, twoout homer on the first pitch he saw that cleared 375 feet in right field.

The blast gave Duke a 5-3 advantage it would not relinquish.

“Our guys are capable of stringing together great performances,” McNally said. “We really competed at the highest level this weekend and came up with some big hits at the right time.”

Duke continues ACC tournament play Friday at 4 p.m. against Clemson, the third seed. The Blue Devils will close out the round-robin portion of the tournament Saturday against Virginia.

M. LACROSSE from page 9 thought we would be in this position.”

While Crotty’s offensive exploits helped Duke book its place in Foxborough, the Blue Devils’ defense kept the Tar Heels’ best scorer, sophomore Billy Bitter, from being much of a factor in the

quarterfinals.

Bitter came into the game having scored 46 goals on the year, and Danowski said he had arguably been the best offensive player in the nation over the last month of the season.

Bitter, however, was kept at bay by Duke defenseman Mike Manley, who manmarked him all game. North Carolina head coach Joe Breschi said Bitter was shaken up by a collision early in the game that might have affected his play, but both Breschi and Danowski praised Manley’s performance against the dangerous attackman.

“We think the world of Billy Bitter, but we felt really good about Mike Manley,” Danowski said. “Mike is one of our unsung heroes.”

Gritty performances like Manley’s helped the Blue Devils hang on to a lead they nearly relinquished Sunday in Annapolis. And when Duke continues its quest for its first tide Saturday against No. 2 Syracuse—the defending national champion—the Orange will be greeted by a Blue Devil team lacking the star power of the last two seasons, but more experienced in crunch time. “[Danowski] said after the game that usually we get to the end of the season, to that one-goal game, and we’re not used to it,” Grotty said. “Last year we were blowing teams out left and right, we got to Hopkins and we didn’t have that one-goal game experience. We’ve had that a couple of times now, we know how to keep our composure and hopefully we can remember it and use it in the Final Four.”

Duke’s season

over

after OT loss to Quakers by

Harrison Comfort THE CHRONICLE

For the first time in the last five years, Duke will not be playing in the Final Four as its championship aspirations ended Saturday.

Coming off of a thrilling overtime victol T last weekend milfF \q /" DUKc against conference 118 PENN Z lOi rival Virginia, the La^J Blue Devils could not repeat the feat as they lost in extra time to Pennsylvania 10-9 in the national quarterfinal.

This marks the second straight season that the No. 4 Quakers (15-2) knocked Duke out of the tournament as last year the teams’ semifinal matchup yielded a similar result.

“I definitely want to congratulate Penn they played a hell of a game,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “I’m also really proud of our girls. We dug ourselves a really good hole in first half, but we chipped away and put ourselves in position to win both at the end of regulation and in overtime.”

Though the No. 5 Blue Devils (15-6) did not win the game, effort was certainly not the reason that Kimel’s squad did not advance to the next round.

After not getting into its offensive rhythm early, Duke fell behind 4-0 as Penn dominated time of possession and managed to find the holes in the Blue Devils’ defense.

Duke ended a scoring drought of nearly 15 minutes that started the game when junior Danielle Kachulis netted a goal off a pass from sophomore Emma Hamm in transition.

Junior Lindsay Gilbride added another score on the ensuing possession to make —

the score 4-2, but the Quakers tacked on three more goals before the first half ended and Penn’s offensive spurt increased its lead to 7-2.

The Blue Devils simply could not get into a groove on the attack and suffered from some defensive lapses in the first half.

Rather than give up, the Blue Devils came out on an offensive tear, scoring the first seven goals of the second half to take a 9-7 lead.

The team received scoring from its usual suspects with Gilbride’s four goals leading the way. Fellow juniorKachulis also had two scores, while senior captains Caroline Cryer and Jess Adam along with sophomore Sarah Bullard each added one tally.

Penn stormed back, however, and managed to even the score at 9-9 at the end of the second half. Though the Blue Devils had not played an overtime game the entire season, they were forced to do so for the second straight week.

With eight seconds left in the first extra period, Duke had an excellent opportunity to take the lead when Gilbride fired a hard shot, but it was blocked by the Quakers’ goalie.

In the second extra session, Penn won the opening draw and nearly put the game away at the 1:50 mark, but senior goalie Kim Imbesi made the save.

The game remained tied until 5 seconds before the second extra period ended, when Penn’s Becca Edwards sent the game winner past Imbesi, leaving the Blue Devils no time to try and respond.

“We just couldn’t finish,” coach Kimel said. “This is a tough way for our senior class to end.”

need to be prepared for the responsibilities of college and financial independence.

At Duke, there should be at least some effort made to encourage financial responsibility.

During freshman orientation week, several programs offer guidance on responsible decision making regarding alcohol, sex and other areas that college students may be exposed to for the first time. As such, there is no reason that fiscal responsibility should not be part of this informal curriculum.

And young people, especially Duke students, should take the personal initiative to learn the basic financial skills they will need when those food points finally dry up for good.

Since

her birth, a worker bee knows what she must do. In the first three days of her life, she cleans out the cell she hatched from. For thirteen days after, she removes the corpses of dead bees and encases invaders like mice in propolis, a sticky resin bees collect from trees. She feeds and cares for developing larvae, and takes out the queen’s waste. She retrieves nectar and pollen from field bees and evaporates the COUrtney llcUl water

the honey ripening process.

Later she produces beeswax, guards the hive, and by the sixth week, leaves to forage for pollen and nectar until she dies.

On any visit to a functioning hive in a summer day, you will find the queen laying eggs, guarded by her attendants and drones, or male bees, sitting fatly in combs eating. Worker bees dancing on the honeycomb to communicate the location of nectar—if the food source is nearby, she does a round dance; if farther than 80 yards, a waggle dance. If threatened, the entire hive will unify under the direction of pheromones to attack the intruder together. Without the sophistication of language, honey bees perform their duties day in and day out, and can produce 60 to 100 pounds of excess honey annually, traveling 50,000 miles and visiting two million flowers for one pound alone.

Just like in the beehive, unspoken agreements are natural and necessary in Freetown, the capital and largest city of Sierra Leone. For a first-time visitor like me, the actions and decisions of Freetown residents appear coordinated. Little boys appear on the street with spare change when taxi-drivers are in a pinch. Buses the size of mini-vans swallow and hold twenty people. Chickens, sheep, dogs and babies fend for themselves. SUVs navigate rocky dirt roads around puddles the size of ponds and through

tiny alleys hemmed in by rows of women carrying plates of peanuts on their heads. Drivers park their cars in the middle of a two-lane city street, and taxi-drivers, reaction-less, simply navigate around the obstacle. People wander aimlessly, fearlessly across Regent Road where cars jam and merchants reach for free limbs with sticky mango-coated tentacles.

Many people say Africa is cursed. She has natural resource ailments, diseases, corruption, war and still wears the scars of colonization on her forehead. In some ways, Sierra Leone is a test of man’s limits. A tropical climate with a dry season of droughts and a wet season of floods. There are secret societies, witchcraft and demons that further drain villagers’ meager pocketbooks during the worst times of economic strain. Freetown buildings still bear the bullet holes of a brutal ten-year civil war. But the chaos is managed by a secret understanding among the players. They are all grinding pieces of the puzzle that makes up Freetown, fitting into each other, interdependent and revolving like clockwork. The expectations people have for one another in Freetown may not be verbal, but they are anticipated. One strike against the norm and you will trigger a shrill FEE BO! If you land here you will agree that the streets are chaos. But it all makes sense. There is logic in the mayhem. Life in the country ranked lowest on the Human Development Index is not all that we associate with the bottom rung of development and with endemic poverty. It is not starving children lying on the streets, the smells of human excrement and the drone of hopelessness. It is rather, vibrancy. Pride. Hope. And a communication system that is as unspoken and elegant as a hive of honey bees, working and thriving in its own space, day in and day out, a coordinated whole.

Motivation in greasy’ context

In

lacrosse game with my family. There I fielded questions regarding my college experience from well intentioned parents and G-Lax enthusiasts alike. Needless to say that I was feeling less like Van Wilder and more like Dustin Hoffman’s character in the Graduate.

It was at this point that a party-going group of high school friends enlisted me as designated driver. Simply put, I just wasn’t in the mood, and I thought that maybe another Duke flashback would bail me out again. I remembered how a friend of mine once escaped Krzyzewskiville tent duty on account of “having to do mad laundry.” I quoted him verbatim, eager for a night ofScrubs and sleep, but it was to no avail. I was going out whether I liked it or not.

What I needed now was the perfect rally song. I brainstormed for all of three seconds before settling on M.l.A.’s “Paper Planes.” I’d heard that song during so many of my finest moments at Duke that I assumed it would be a surefire way to get the feelings of good times flowing. Unfortunately, not only do I not own the song, but my Internet was down as well. The sun was quickly setting on this rally. I had already used my friend’s “mad laundry” excuse and I was running out of memories. My mind raced through every Duke flashback imaginable. And all those memories led to Eddie Money’s “Take Me Home Tonight,” cranked up to 11. I’m not even going to try to explain this one; the handful of guys who already understand know that from there on out, I was the life of the party. Funny how that works.

Looking back, most of my friends couldn’t stop talking about how eager they were to get away from Duke by the time LDOC rolled around. I wasn’t much different. In fact, I may have been the biggest offender. But what I’ve realized in these first few weeks of summer is that no matter how much my surroundings change, Duke’s always going to find away to sneak in there. Sure, it’ll be there in all the standard ways; degrees, grad school apps, job apps. But it’ll be there in the smaller, more essential ways too. And to tell you the truth, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I mean, what good’s a great job if you can’t get a good night’s sleep?

a happy moment of offhand summer intellectualism a few days ago, I found myself locked in an instant message debate about a Ha Jin story with a Duke classmate Jin, now a distinguished Boston fiction writer, writes about his native China with subdued prose and a gift for addressing harsh events with an unflinching and bard-like directness. His stories often read like fables because he explains a chain of events without using emotion, psychology or lavish description for coloring. Most interconnor southard esting of all, his characters have the simplest of dead poet motivations: more food, a pay raise, a marriage to anyone fertile. Jin’s peasant characters don’t have the time or the money to complicate their lives.

I’d linked my friend to a Jin story that appears on The New Yorker’s Web site, in the hopes of sparking a discussion, and I was not disappointed. “The House Behind a Weeping Cherry” is like much of Jin’s work; a frustrated and belittled Chinese man makes a stab at basic self-assertion, with mixed results. Emigre garment worker Wanren lives in a New York City boarding house that doubles as a ramshackle brothel. After being roped into driving prostitutes to client’s hotel rooms and acting as an ad hoc bodyguard, Wanren becomes disillusioned and flees the extortion of human traffickers and pimps, taking young prostitute Huong with him. The story ends there, with romantic hopes but the lingering pallor of a low and dirty fictional world making one doubt that such a brave liaison will end painlessly.

In comfortable contrast, I’m a few weeks into a summer in which I will bum off my parents and read a pile of books before heading overseas for a concise summer study abroad program. My friend is in a similar situation; cruising along before what promises to be an adventurous six weeks abroad. But he deals with gentlemanly idleness differently, and managed to get his hands on a supremely part-time, minimum wage job at McDonald’s for the next several weeks. He didn’t try to hide it: he wanted the job only so that he could experience low-wage work and balance the relative loftiness of a suburban Duke student’s life with something more basic. In other words, my friend wanted to pretend that he had simple, Ha Jin-like motivations, all the while acting out of a complex, intellectually and aesthetically informed motivation to gain “life experience.”

To my life experience-seeking friend, Wanren’s story is a simple fable: peasant rescues entrapped love, rides off into sunset, cue music. To me, Wanren is less archetypal. When he catches a whiff of romance, Wanren actively fights against his more basic motivations —he leaves his job and his nightly bowl of rice and runs off with no guarantee of anything but the luxury of at least a temporary romance. We could agree that love, in the abstract, was important to Wanren, but we disagreed on what that motivation meant in context. Context is crucial, and it seemed pretty obvious that we weren’t talking only about Wanren’s story arc, but our own.

Both of us—the one buried in books like a Victorian dilettante, the other taking an unnecessary job for the “fun” of it —are motivated by our intellectual ambitions, as well as a hunger to not only see the world but feel it. Our university encourages our ambitions, with its endless opportunities for exotic and domestic service and its promise of a buffet line of enticing experiences. Our plans for the future are complex and still largely formless, though we know that they include eating and all the other basic things that Ha Jin’s peasants make their holy grails; dignity, possibility for enduring romance, family. We can afford to be motivated by our imaginations, our romantic impressions of a sampling of “real,” greasy work or the need for a young would-be intellectual to read “Lolita” and “Fear and Trembling.”

It’s our context, and we’re glad for it.

Take me home tonight

Just

a few short weeks ago, the back pages of this newspaper were stocked with senior columns. They came in all shapes and sizes; some of them were deep, others were funny. Some of them you didn’t know what to make of. For the most part, though, they all had something in common. Almost every columnist spoke to what Duke had given them while they were here. And now, in spite of the fact that I’m a sophomore and this is my first column, I would like to do the same.

Maybe it’s the way I true story ended my first year with those senior columns fresh in mind, or maybe it’s the fact that I live in Durham Either way, I can’t help but notice all of the little ways that Duke seems to sneak its way into my summer.

All of them are fairly simple. Take, for example, my trouble sleeping. It’s nothing new; I just can’t ever seem to fall asleep when I’m at home, and my first night back was no exception. Unable to get comfortable, I tossed and turned for a while before finally giving up and resigning myself to another sleepless

night.

In an attempt to salvage the upcoming hours I leafed through my CD cases, looking for something to sustain me, or at least keep me entertained. That’s when I came across a cluster of the Scrubs DVDs my roommate left me as a parting gift (he would play them every night as we were going to bed). I played one, partially for old time’s sake, partially for my love of Scrubs, and, in true Pavlovian form, I was asleep within minutes.

As much of a miracle fix as Zach Braff and company have been for me, I’d be lying if I told you that Duke experiences somehow provided me with a good night’s sleep every night since I got home. Some nights it’s been quite the opposite.

Like last Friday, a large part of which I had spent wallowing in overblown misfortune: It started with five straight losses on the basketball court, followed by being locked out of my own house. That resulted in a half-hour drive to Raleigh to watch a high school girl’s
