Despite widespread influenza throughout the country and a low supply of vaccines, experts are optimistic about the rest of this year’s flu season.

by John BarkerTHE CHRONICLE

As this year’s flu season drags on, supplies of influenza vaccines are being depleted in some areas of the country, but health experts are predicting that this should not be a cause for concern.

Flu season struck early this winter, leading to a rapid surge in demand for flu vaccinations in some regions of the country. More than 128 million of the 135 million doses of vaccine expected to be manufactured by various pharmaceu-tical companies and intended for U.S. distribution have already been shipped by their manufacturers as of Jan. 4, ac-cording to the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention. The quantity ac-counts for more than 95 percent of the nation’s planned supply.

Although some locations are tempo-rarily out of vaccine stock, manufactur-ers are mobilizing to provide more dos-es to patients in the country. At Duke, Dr. Chris Woods, associate professor of medicine and infectious disease special-ist, encouraged vaccination, but did not express concern over the flu season sub-stantially worsening.

FLU SEASON 2013Duke and North Carolina ramp up virus vaccinations

by Georgia ParkeTHE CHRONICLE

Influenza showed up early and un-invited this winter and has since taken a toll on North Carolina.

Seasonal influenza, which normal-ly begins to show up in the United States shortly after New Year’s, made its advent in late November this year and has infected hundreds of people across North Carolina and several on Duke’s campus. Duke and commu-nity health leaders are responding with widespread vaccination against the flu.

“Student Health is prepared to pro-vide flu shots to any student who wants one,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of students. “We will continue to en-courage students to get a flu shot.”

Providers at Student Health Servic-es are invoking the same preventative measures as usual by giving out as many flu shots as possible and encouraging increased awareness of hygiene, such as covering one’s mouth when cough-ing or sneezing and staying home from class and extracurriculars when sick.

Nationally, supplies are running low but outlook is positive

Even the most skilled librar-ians will not be able to find a party in Perkins this February.

Due to upcoming renovations to Perkins Library, the annual library party—typically held in February—will not occur this year, said Aaron Welborn, direc-tor of communications for Duke Libraries. Resources and time typically dedicated to planning the event will be redirected to preparing for renovations to the wing of the library constructed between 1928 and 1948, includ-ing the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Li-brary and the Gothic Reading Room. Last year’s library party,

themed Heroes and Villains, at-tracted about 3,500 members of the Duke community, including undergraduates, graduate stu-dents, faculty and staff.

“We decided with the scale of the renovation that’s happen-ing and the number of our staff who are involved in making it happen, we just didn’t think we could do both this year,” Wel-born said.

Staff members are not cur-rently planning an event of the same scale to replace the li-brary party, which was planned in collaboration with the Duke Marketing Club for the past two years, Welborn added. The wing

Durham hospital takes on Duke name

Sickle cells may be a tool against cancer tumors

by Emma BaccellieriTHE CHRONICLE

Durham County commissioners vot-ed Monday night to change the name of Durham Regional Hospital, remov-ing Durham from its title in exchange for Duke.

The newly renamed Duke Regional Hospital, which is owned by the county but operated by the Duke University Health System, believes the change will improve its reputation in the com-munity and help attract patients, said Katie Galbraith, chief of hospital op-erations.

“Duke Medicine is one of the stron-gest brands in healthcare,” Galbraith said. “People who move to this area

tend to recognize the Duke name, and we feel that changing our name puts us in the best position for future growth.”

The hospital opened as Durham County General Hospital in 1976, ac-cording to its website. By the 1990s, it changed its name to Durham Regional Hospital in order to better reflect its expanding service to residents of neigh-boring counties. The hospital signed a partnership with DUHS in 1998 to ease financial troubles, and since then it has been managed by Duke.

Sickle red blood cells, more commonly associated with disease, may also play a role in treating cancer tumors.

Researchers discovered that sickle cells, unlike normal red blood cells, can obstruct up to 88 percent of tumor blood vessels. When combined with chemotherapeutic agents, the sickle cells may be an effective method of attacking cancer tumors that are resistant to existing treatments. The study was published in the Jan. 9 edition of PLOS ONE and was a joint study among researchers at Duke Medicine and Jenom-ic Research Institute, a biotech company based in Carmel, California.

Sickle cells are more commonly known for its role in sickle cell anemia, a genetic disease that causes normal red blood cells to take on an abnormal crescent shape.

In the study, researchers injected sickle red blood cells into mice with cancerous tumors. The sickle cells were found to clump in the blood vessel vessels of the tumor and its surrounding cells. In con-trast, normal red blood cells moved freely through tumor vessels without sticking to

one another.“The tumor blood vessels and the sickle

cells are uniquely joined at the hip,” said David Terman, head of Molecular Genetics at Jenomic. “It’s like two pieces of Velcro that are reciprocally sticky.”

The use of sickle cells is especially ef-fective in treating hypoxic tumors, which are tumor cells that have been deprived of oxygen. These tumor cells are particularly resistant to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and this study may be the beginning of a new treatment method, said Mark Dewhirst, professor of radiation on-cology at the Duke Cancer Institute.

Dewhirst added that another reason for hypoxic tumors’ resistance is because hypoxic cells do not divide. Conventional cancer treatment methods work best on cells that are dividing. Additionally, hypox-ic cells are located far from major blood vessels, so drugs do not reach the tumor sites as readily.

Terman, who developed the research concept for the study in 1998, said that he brought his ideas to Duke in 2006 seeking

Obama White House to push for comprehensive immigration plan

by Lisa LererBLOOMBERG NEWS

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to push for a comprehensive immigra-tion plan that includes a leg-islative solution to issues such as undocumented immigrants, according to administration of-ficials.

“The bottom line in this de-bate is full citizenship,” Los An-geles Mayor Antonio Villarai-gosa said Monday at a National Press Club luncheon in Wash-ington. Americans, in re-elect-ing Obama last year, “rejected a policy of fear and fences,” the mayor said.

While no final decision has been made about when the Democratic White House’s proposal will be formally intro-duced, administration officials, who spoke on condition of ano-nymity to discuss internal delib-erations, said they will oppose efforts by Republicans to break immigration legislation into smaller bills.

“We’ve got to reform our im-migration system,” Obama said Monday at a White House news conference.

While Obama didn’t give any details of what his plans are, he said previously that he would begin working on a major im-migration bill soon after the

formal start of his second term.Even as much of Washington

has focused on fiscal issues and curbing gun violence, the ad-ministration has been working on a plan for several months. The proposal will include a path to citizenship for the country’s 11 million undocu-mented immigrants, according to officials—an idea opposed as amnesty by Republican critics.

Separately from the White House, a bipartisan group of senators, headed by Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York and Republican Lindsey Gra-ham of South Carolina have been working on a parallel bill.

Obama won 71 percent of La-tino voters in the 2012 election, a victory that left Republicans willing to take up the immigra-tion issue as a way to change their image with the fast-grow-ing demographic group. Na-tional exit polls showed that 10 percent of the electorate was Latino, compared with 9 per-cent four years ago and 8 per-cent in 2004.

Former Secretary of State Co-lin Powell, speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, said the Republican Party needs to “take a very hard look at itself and understand that the coun-try has changed” demographi-cally.

“If the Republican Party does not change along with that demographic, they are going to be in trouble,” the retired gen-eral, himself a Republican, said on CBS.

House Speaker John Boeh-ner said in a Nov. 8 interview with ABC News that “a compre-hensive approach is long over-due, and I’m confident that the president, myself, others, can find the common ground to take care of this issue once and for all.”

Villaraigosa, speaking Sun-day on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program, said bringing 11 mil-lion undocumented immigrants “into the light” would mean “about a $1.5 trillion impact to the U.S. economy.”

Immigrant-owned businesses employ 1 in 10 U.S. workers in private companies and con-tribute more than $775 bil-lion of revenue to the nation’s economy, according to the Partnership for a New Ameri-can Economy. The businesses generate about $125 billion in payroll, the nonpartisan advo-cacy group of 450 mayors and business leaders said in a report last August.

“Our stocks of flu vaccine are pretty good at the moment,” he wrote in an email Sunday. “I continue to encourage people to pursue vaccine, but I think the epidemic has passed.”

Dr. Dennis Clements, chief of primary care pediatrics and a researcher of vaccines and infec-tious diseases, wrote in an email Monday that the flu season is halfway through now and that the situation will likely improve in the next three or four weeks, unless a different strain begins to spread.

Clements noted that the se-verity of the flu season fluctuates every few years, and that the last bad year was 2009.

“Flu strains vary every year—changing slightly—but last year’s disease often offers some protec-tion for this year’s flu,” he said. “It takes about four years for there to be enough drift for a large part of the population to be susceptible again.”

The virus may have run its

course in some areas of the country, but vaccine manufac-turers are still mobilizing to send out their remaining supplies.

“Some regions [of the coun-try] may have peaked, while oth-er parts of the country are still on the upswing,” read a CDC FluView report on the week from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5.

Reacting to “late-season de-mand,” Michael Szumera, a spokesman for vaccine manu-facturer Sanofi Pasteur, told The Washington Post that the company would start shipping vaccines from a small reserve previously intended for interna-tional distribution.

GlaxoSmithKline, a manu-facturer with a headquarters in Research Triangle Park, is also dipping into a pool of extra vaccines due to the higher U.S. demand, according to a recent GSK release. No additional dos-es are likely to be made in time for the end of this flu season due to the lengthy manufactur-ing process, however.

collaboration. He currently holds the patents on the findings of the study.

“We managed to bring this project along, albeit slowly,” Terman said. “We were able to punch through the major im-pediments and proceed through to the endpoints.”

In order to continue re-

search on the project, Terman noted that the next part of the research was to optimize the sickle cells so they can be more effective in attacking tumors, such as by loading the sickle cells with chemotherapeutic or tumor-killing toxins. He hopes that the study will move forward into human clinical studies within the next five to 10 years.

The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

unanimously approved a proposal for the name change several weeks ago, said board member and county commission-er Michael Page. The board then filed a request for action with the county com-missioners and received approval from county manager Michael Ruffin.

“We feel that from a marketing point of view, the hospital needs this branding to reach new people,” Page said. “The rich history and tradition of Duke will give credence to the hospi-tal when people are making decisions about their medical care.”

According to the 2012 edition of U.S. News and World Report maga-zine, Durham Regional is ranked the fifth best hospital in North Carolina while Duke University Medical Center is ranked number one. Duke is also

ranked eighth nationally.Last week, members of the hospital’s

administration met with the county com-missioners to discuss the change and received approval from four of the five commissioners, Galbraith said. The com-missioners placed their final votes at their regular work session Monday night.

The name change could prove par-ticularly effective for situations in which patients are asked by emergency medical services to quickly select a hos-pital, Galbraith said.

The hospital’s president, Kerry Watson, said the name change aligns with the hospital’s goal of becoming the best community hospital in North Carolina.

“We’ve deliberated on this a lot and done a lot of research, and we feel that [changing our name] will support us in offering the best possible patient care,” he said.

An email sent over the weekend by Stu-dent Health warned students of the symp-toms of both flu and norovirus.

Student Health previously sought to prepare students for the flu season by offering shots in the Bryan Center last semester, Wasiolek added. Students also had the opportunity to receive free flu shots at East Campus locations and may make an appointment to get one at the Student Health Center. The Student Health Center will be offering an addi-tional opportunity to receive flu shots Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. in the Great Hall.

“Flu this year is more widespread and much earlier than last year, so it has more media attention,” wrote Dr. Kimberly Yar-nall, medical director of Student Health Services, in an email Monday. “Health care providers are always concerned about flu in the winter months—[it] came early this year.”

So far, 17 people in North Carolina have died from flu complications since flu season began. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Ser-vices logged 276 influenza cases statewide since Oct. 6.

“It is very unusual for us to see this many deaths so early in the flu season,” said state health director Laura Gerald in a Dec. 21 press release. “This year’s vaccine is well-matched to the strains of flu we are seeing in North Carolina so we strongly recommend that anyone over six months old be vaccinated.”

Mark Van Sciver, a representative from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, noted that a seem-

ingly high death toll may not necessarily mean that 2013 will be a high death year.

Van Sciver noted that the number of deaths is higher than in past years, but the flu season also started significantly earlier. Additionally, 13 out of the deaths were people over 60 years old, several with preexisting conditions.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 47 states includ-ing North Carolina reported widespread geographic influenza activity during the week ending Jan. 5. Twenty-four of those states also reported an especially high level of influenza-like illness. A slight de-crease in activity was recorded last week in North Carolina, although Van Sciver said this may only be a temporary trend.

“Flu season won’t be over until March,” he said.

Although the variant of influenza A more commonly known as H1N1 virus or swine flu has not been as prevalent this season as in 2009, it has still been identified, he noted. The prevalence of H1N1, however, has been helpful by set-ting a precedent in student and local health centers such as Duke’s. Wasiolek noted that the H1N1 outbreak height-ened awareness of the flu and its ability to negatively affect individuals and com-munities like Duke.

“Everybody needs to be concerned be-cause the flu can spread, especially on a college campus where it is confined,” Van Sciver said. “[The flu shot] is not a guar-antee—it is 60 percent effective—but it is the best protection.”

Wasiolek, Yarnall and Van Sciver all encouraged those who had not gotten flu shots yet to do so and be especially vigi-lant about hand washing.

at the University of California, Santa Cruz, analyzed Census data, includ-ing national population and business- owner surveys, to conclude that immi-grants, who account for 12.9 percent of the population, started 28 percent of all new U.S. businesses in 2011. In 1996, immigrants founded 15 percent of all new businesses, the report said.

Immigrants are more than twice as likely to start a business as the native-born, according to the report. In 2011, the immigrant business-formation rate was 550 new businesses per month for every 100,000 immigrants, while

the native-born rate was 270 for every 100,000, according to the report.

The group’s founders are News Corp. Chief Executive Officer Rupert Murdoch and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The mayor is founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP.

The U.S. government spent $18 bil-lion on immigration enforcement last year, more than all other major federal criminal law enforcement agencies combined, according to a Jan. 7 report by the nonpartisan Washington-based Migration Policy Institute.

“We will not meet our immigra-tion challenge through enforcement alone,” Villaraigosa said Monday.

of the library undergoing reno-vations is scheduled to be com-pletely cleared out by the end of the Spring, Welborn said, noting that construction is expected to finish summer 2015.

The party may or may not hap-pen in 2014, either, Welborn said. The main entrance of Perkins is also scheduled to undergo reno-vations, which may also prevent the library from hosting a party even after 2013, Welborn said.

Marketing club faculty advis-er George Grody said the club members are disappointed that the party will not be happening.

“We’re all very bummed about it,” said Grody, visiting associate professor of markets and manage-ment studies. “We love the library party—it’s a great opportunity to give some real projects to mem-bers of the marketing club.”

Different student committees were responsible for aspects of the event including marketing, enter-tainment and decorations in pre-vious years, Grody said. He noted that the club will still work with

the library system to market other events, such as the library’s study breaks held during exam week.

Senior Becka Black, president of the Duke Marketing Club, said the party’s absence will not only be a loss to the club, but also to the larger Duke community.

“Our club looks forward to the event every year,” Black wrote in an email Monday. “It is always a memorable night for all.... How-ever, we look forward to partner-ing with a new and refurbished library in the future.”

Grody noted that although al-cohol is available to party-goers of age, there was a substantial amount of alcohol leftover after both of the last two parties.

“When everybody’s having a good time and there are things to do, you don’t have to drink,” Grody said.

President Richard Brodhead, who has attended the party in previous years, said the renova-tions necessitate the party’s hia-tus.

“I fully expect [the party] to continue in the future, and you can be sure I’ll be there!” Brod-head wrote in an email Monday.

Duke drops to No. 3

by Staff ReportsTHE CHRONICLE

After falling to N.C. State last weekend, Duke lost its undefeated record and is no longer the No. 1 team in the nation.

The Blue Devils fell to No. 3 in this week’s AP Poll as Louisville claimed the top spot and former top dog Indiana moved up to No. 2. Kansas and Michigan round out the top five while N.C. State jumped to No. 14 after previously being ranked No. 20.

Louisville received 36 of the 65 first-place votes, and Duke received the second most with 14, one more than Indiana. The top three teams are close in the rankings, all within 90 points.

The Blue Devils lost 84-76 to N.C. State on Saturday without senior forward Ryan Kelly, who is sidelined indefinitely with a foot injury. They beat now-No. 1 Louisville earlier in the season to win the Battle 4 At-lantis tournament in the Bahamas.

Duke, Arizona, Michigan and Wyoming all entered last week undefeated but lost. The top eight teams in the nation now all have one loss.

The Blue Devils and the Wolfpack re-main the only two ACC teams in the top 25 while Miami also received nine points.

“And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting....”

—The (White) Raven, Edgar Allen Poe From the Toepocalypse to the White Ra-

ven’s clipped wing, it’s beginning to look like Duke sold its soul (or feet) for six weeks

of elite play from Bri-an Zoubek in 2010.

Since then, the Blue Devils haven’t been able to catch a break, losing Kyrie Ir-ving then Ryan Kelly to indeterminate in-juries each time the

team looks like a national title contender.Although the team has been tightlipped

about the severity of Kelly’s injury, as it was with Irving’s, it seems unlikely to expect the senior to be back in the near future. There’s no doubt that Kelly’s absence will be a blow to Duke’s play moving forward, but just how big a loss is it?

It’s hard to say, in part because Kelly is so different from the rest of the roster. There isn’t another 6-foot-11 stretch power forward to seamlessly insert into the line-up, and the Blue Devils will once again be left to make a fundamental change in style later in the season than they’d like. Losing Kelly is certainly not Toepocalypse Now, but it certainly will impact the Blue Devils

Quinn Cook is averaging 11.8 points and 6.2 assists per game this season and makes a hobby out of watching film of a number of NBA guards such as Damien Lillard.

by Andrew BeatonTHE CHRONICLE

Quinn Cook concedes he is “six-foot on a good day,” so it might seem difficult to find him multiple role models in the NBA, where there is a shortage of short guys.

But Cook is keen on watching film of NBA guards, and he doesn’t just stick to watching one player.

He talks about Team USA guards Chris Paul and Deron Wil-liams, who won gold medals with head coach Mike Krzyzewski. He has brought up Jason Kidd for the future Hall of Fame guard’s rebounding ability.

These days, he has been focus-ing on NBA Rookie of the Year favorite Damien Lillard while also spending some time watching Celtics guards Jason Terry and Ra-jon Rondo.

“They’re not the biggest, they’re not the fastest, but they play with a chip on their shoulder and with an edge,” Cook said. “That’s what I mold my game after—playing with that toughness.”

His preparation both on and off the court has shown this season, blossoming as Duke’s point guard with 11.8 points and 6.2 assists per game. Fortunately for Cook, be-ing a film rat became much easier when each member of the team was given an iPad in the fall.

“Quinn can be in his dorm room, text me for something and 20 minutes later it shows up on his iPad,” said Kevin Cullen, Duke’s video coordinator and director of information technology. “It gives them the ability to study basket-ball on their own time, and Quinn has taken advantage of that as much as anybody.”

The film process is aided by Synergy Sports Technology, a company that re-cords every basket-ball game—collegiate or professional—and provides game film and statistics easily organized by play type.

That means Cullen and his assistant Casey Stevenson can, with a few clicks, assemble a compi-lation of all of Kidd’s defensive rebounds. Then the pair will narrow it down to the best 15 or 20 clips and send them to Cook. The same goes for high-ball screens, which Cook and Mason Plumlee said will increas-ingly be part of the offense with

senior forward Ryan Kelly out in-definitely due to a foot injury.

Speaking prior to Duke’s loss to N.C. State last weekend, Plum-lee said the high-ball screen with Cook was one of the main reasons

Duke thrived in the second half of the Clemson game with Kelly sidelined.

“Me and Mason, we have great chemistry off ball screens,” Cook said. “Coach [Krzyzewski] sees that it’s been work-ing so I think we’ve been practicing more on it, and it’s been one

of our strengths.”As a result, Cook has

most recently been watch-ing film on Lillard and former Duke guard Kyrie Irving, who have made ball screens the bread and but-ter of their NBA success. The film has also taught Cook lessons on the defen-sive end—always looking to convert his small stat-ure into craftiness, he has learned he needs to be as big of a nuisance as pos-sible to the opposing ball-handler.

more than standard statistics indicate.Kelly comes from the Shane Battier

school of understated excellence, the type of player for whom advanced statistics were in-vented and still cannot fully explain. His tra-ditional line of 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game this season hardly does his impact justice—as anyone who watched Duke limp through last season’s ACC and NCAA Tournaments without him can attest.

Obviously, relying on numbers alone is an insufficient way to measure a basketball player’s impact. Basketball is not baseball, and statistics are not yet good enough to totally isolate a certain player. This is no more apparent than on statistician Ken

Pomeroy’s website, where the hyper-athlet-ic (a term reserved for anyone who pulls off an in-game 360 dunk) Rodney Williams is listed as the player most similar to Kelly.

Kelly’s importance is difficult to both quantify and qualify, and even Mike Krzyze-wski struggled to put his impact into words after Saturday’s loss to N.C. State.

“You’re different,” Krzyzewski said of his team without Kelly. “You’re just different.”

Much of that difference comes on the offensive end, where Duke no longer has a power forward who can drag his defender out to the perimeter. Amile Jefferson and Josh Hairston combined to score 18 points on 9-of-14 shooting in Saturday’s loss to N.C. State, but nearly all of those point came from within 10 feet of the basket. Hav-

ing another player in the lane on offense limits Mason Plumlee—who has thrived in the post in large part because of the space created by Kelly—since it becomes easier to slide a defender over for a double team.

Duke also loses one of the hottest 3-point shooters in the country—Kelly has hit 67.7 percent of his treys since the team’s trip to the Bahamas. He is a mismatch on the of-fensive end of the floor on every possession even without the ball, helping keep space around the perimeter to keep Plumlee out of double teams.

The biggest issue for the Blue Devils, though, will be replacing Kelly’s defense. One of the best post defenders in the country, his opponents score just over .5 points per pos-session against him on 22 percent shooting,

the third-best mark nationwide of players at all positions. Hairston, who on Saturday called Kelly’s defense “special,” and Jefferson could not contain Richard Howell and C.J. Leslie. The pair finished with a combined 41 points and 24 rebounds in the upset.

That problem will not go away with time, but the Blue Devils’ struggles against Howell and Leslie are hardly an indica-tor of major issues: The two are the best frontcourt pair in the ACC with Kelly side-lined. Looming matchups with Miami’s Kenny Kadji and Julian Gamble, followed by Maryland’s Alex Len and James Padgett, though, mean Hairston and Jefferson will be put in a tough spot, with little time to adjust to their new, expanded roles just as conference play begins to heat up.

annoying as you can, and just try to be a little pest,” Cook said. “Because you’re smaller and a little closer to the ground, for high-ball dribblers it can be tough for them to run the offense.”

Other players will take cues from the coaches on what NBA players to study. Cul-len said the coaches suggested Marshall Plumlee observe the play of 7-foot center Omer Asik, who is averaging a double-dou-ble this season with the Houston Rockets.

These extra film sessions extend to watching opponents as well. Cullen will typically compile video of four or five plays on an opposing player for the team to all watch together, but he is able to

provide a player such as Cook with an extra batch of clips on an opponent he might be matched up against, like Geor-gia Tech’s Mfon Udofia. Additionally, ev-ery one of Duke’s previous practices and games is readily accessible on the iPad at any moment. Cullen said the introduction of the iPad has probably created three to four times as many requests for film from the players.

And if there’s one thing to watch closely for in the film of Thursday’s game against the Yellow Jackets, it’s the small chip on Cook’s shoulder.

“Whether it’s J.J. [Redick], Kyrie, Nolan [Smith]—when they were at their best, they were mad at something, and they turned that into being a great basketball player,” Cullen said.

line monitors to adopt a new policy that ac-commodates the large number of early-sea-son tenters. Each tent has 12 members.

Although the line monitors anticipated greater interest due to a shorter tenting sea-son than last year, they did not predict such a high level of involvement.

“Last year we had around 10 tents that started day one,” said Bradley Baird, one of two head line monitors. “We were expecting more than that but we certainly weren’t ex-pecting the demand that we got this year.”

To increase the number of tenters, the line monitors reintroduced a past rule pro-hibiting formal tent structures during black tenting, responding to popular demand. The rule, last used in 2010, applies to the black tenting period only.

“People had asked for it,” Baird said. “It was something we did my freshman year that people really enjoyed.”

According to this rule, black tenters were required to build their own structures rather than just pitching a tent. Although the regu-lation added an additional challenge, tenters began building in Krzyzewskiville more than a day in advance of the start of tenting.

“Honestly, the no formal tents rule made us a little more excited about it because it’s just more of a challenge,” sophomore Jo-seph Sullivan said. “A lot of the people in our tent got to bond over the construction experience.”

Given the responsibility to design their own tents, students developed a wide variety of structures.

“People really went all out this year,” Baird said. “They certainly weren’t as elabo-rate last time around. We weren’t expecting to have people build these quite expensive structures. People really took some creative liberty, and I think that’s something that’s been really fun to watch.”

The high number of tents also suggests that the rule did not deter the less intense tenters from trying out black tenting.

That demand can partially be attributed to the team’s performance this year after the Blue Devils won their first 15 games of the season, Baird said.

So far this season the atmosphere in the student section has lived up to the team’s performance, highlighted by a showdown with then-No. 2 Ohio State, for which stu-dents camped out as well.

“[The Ohio State game] was certainly one of the most energizing atmospheres

that I personally have seen since I’ve been at Duke,” Baird said. “That was something that was really exciting to see, and I think that’s pretty indicative of how this season has gone.”

While the team’s success has played a large part in bolstering fan support, the team’s personality has won over the Cra-zies too.

Facing a crowd of more than 400 stu-dents on night one of tenting, Baird asked the residents outside Cameron Indoor Sta-dium what motivated them to start so early. Baird said one tenter yelled back, “because this team is so likable.”

The likability factor might have an even bigger impact than the team’s success. This year’s tenting numbers are higher than the last time Duke won 15 straight games to start the season, the 2010-2011 season.

The unanticipated level of enthusiasm for this black tenting season left the line monitors with several challenges, however.

Having originally planned to just run a scavenger hunt to determine the order of the tents, the line monitors needed to revise their method so that it could provide a fair method to arrange such a large number of groups.

“We held a town hall meeting where the

tenters could come and talk and we got some really good feedback of fair ways and ways that people would be interested in for ordering themselves,” Baird said.

Fellow head line monitor Jackson Lind-sey issued a statement Monday afternoon via email to the Cameron Crazies listserv an-nouncing a new, three-category point system to determine black tent order, comprised of a race to a secret spot, a Duke basketball triv-ia contest and attendance at various Duke sporting events.

Furthermore, to accommodate the large number of early-season tenters, the line monitors have chosen to raise the total number of tents permitted during blue sea-son from 60 to 75.

Spots for blue tenting will be decided through another race to a secret spot, and despite Duke’s first loss of the season, it’s un-likely that the appeal of the team’s personal-ity will wear off.

“This team has really been great for students to watch, great for students to be engaged in,” Baird said. “It’s a team that people will always enjoy watching play, and it’s a team that people want to come out and support and that is a huge, huge, huge fac-tor that can be attributed to the high inter-est in black tenting.”

Over the winter break, I was thankfully able to fi nd some of those rare moments where I could read. One of the most interesting

things I read was an amazing re-port on the religious landscape of our globe put together by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Reli-gion and Public Life. The report is a comprehensive demographic study of more than 230 countries and ter-ritories conducted by top-notch re-searchers from around the world. It includes both quantitative and quali-tative studies of world demographics in regard to global faith communi-ties, religiosity, religious bigotry and extremism, violations of religious rights around the world and more as of 2010.

Here are some of the eye opening facts and fi nd-ings from this very helpful report. About 84 percent of human beings belong to a faith tradition. Christians (2.2 billion) and Muslims (1.6 billion) make up more than half of the human family. Around 1.1 billion, 700 million of whom live in China, do not belong to any faith tradition. The study concludes this fact by saying: “This makes the unaffi liated the third-largest religious group worldwide, behind Christians and Muslims, and about equal in size to the world’s Catho-lic population.” In terms of median age, Muslims (23) and Hindus (26) are the youngest of all; Jews (36) and Christians (30) are among the oldest. More than 61 percent of Muslims live in the Asia-Pacifi c region and almost one-in-three lives as a religious minority.

A separate study by the Forum on Religion and Public Life provides rich materials to those who hate religion and blame religion for everything bad in the world. Religious extremism and bigotry is still thriving in many regions and among many religions. Nearly a third of the world’s approximately 7 billion people live in countries with high government re-strictions on religion or high social hostilities involv-ing religion, especially religious minorities. What’s more, hate crimes against religious groups and re-ligion-based violence have increased in recent years in some countries.

However, the study mentions nothing about where and how religions have been sources of peace, comfort, grace, reconciliation and charity. Before I self-critically engage with the fi ndings of this study, I would like to tell those people who single out reli-gion and religious people as “the sources of all evil” the following: If you think religious people are evil, violent and destructive, please also consider the non-religious ones. The entire 20th century, with more than 100 million killed in a zillion different wars and confl icts, has showed us what kind of alternative we are talking about.

Having said that, the Pew’s report puts out enor-mous challenges to people of faith. Scientifi c and scholarly fi ndings unambiguously suggest that world

religions are far from fulfi lling their promise to humanity. The fi ndings of the Pew report and similar reports humble us, as people of faith, to see that the empty side of the glass is too big to ignore, too obvious to deny.

I read the whole report remember-ing a famous T-shirt slogan in mind: “‘God is dead!’—Nietzsche … ‘Nietz-sche is dead!’—God.” To me this hu-morous slogan is very true but incom-plete. It is true in the sense that the

Nietzschean predictions of the 19th century that God is dead and all the religions were going to disappear rapidly turned out to be wrong. Far from dying, both God and religion are much more alive than before and furthermore, as the Pew study concludes, many members of the non-affi liated also consider them-selves to be spiritual.

However, the entire Pew study and the painful realities of current world affairs beg the following question: If God is not dead, in the face of all this ongoing bloodshed, cruelty, greed and ugliness, for God’s sake, “WHERE IS HE!” If God is mercy, love, compassion, forgiveness, peace and more, and if two-thirds of humanity believes in many different variations of these concepts, then why is the world going through a famine of these ideals? To me, there are two possible answers to these hypothetical questions. It could be that God is not any of those, and religions are nothing but fi ction and delusion. Or, we the agents and deliverers of very many divine blessings fall short in this core mission of religion. I hope religion is not just getting the right belief or doctrine; I hope and pray that religion is not just fol-lowing the endless list of do’s or don’ts. I don’t think creating the most perfect religion is God’s divine project. God’s divine project is us, humanity. Indi-vidually and collectively we prove our exceptional potential to build and create a godly global society.

Therefore, I have a single wish and prayer for 2013: I hope and pray that during this new year, re-ligion and faith will be a source of comfort, peace, healing and reconciliation to all more so than ever before. People will be inspired by their religions to do good for themselves and for fellow human be-ings. All members of the human family, individually and collectively, will do a better job in upholding and living the ideals of their faith traditions. Amen!

Monday, we outlined the general structure of what the forthcoming Duke IDEAS program will look like. With details of the program yet to be hammered out, we would like to raise a few important con-cerns during the program’s initiation and devel-opment phases.

As we stated, we believe Duke IDEAS project teams will offer students a unique oppor-tunity to engage in structured and rigorous interdisciplinary work. If the skills students will develop—collaboration, fl ex-ibility and problem solving—overlap with what is demanded by employers, it is a welcome but minor bonus.

The logic of what consti-tutes worthwhile interdisci-plinary pursuits should not be

responding to the whims of the job market. Job markets are mutable, and the preferences of employers do not always align with the Duke’s pedagogi-cal responsibilities.

A n o t h e r concern is the need for

mechanisms to solicit student feedback and oversee project teams. While cross-school part-nership is great in theory, there is a risk that diverse stakehold-ers will have incompatible un-derstandings of what a project actually entails. In a particular-ly dire scenario, project teams could function as a vehicle for professors to engage in self-directed research with the help of unpaid research assistants. Duke IDEAS needs to ensure that, in practice, students are always engaged in substan-

tive learning and productive work—not merely performing superfl uous tasks to be turned into resume bullet-points.

Most importantly, Duke IDEAS must heavily consider its process for identifying the societal “problems” that proj-ect teams address. What exactly constitutes a societal “prob-lem”? While it is tempting to pick much publicized scientif-ic, economic or environmental problems, we hope that Duke IDEAS takes advantage of the University’s diverse method-ological approaches. In short, Duke IDEAS must also shed light on the “problems” of the human condition, which the humanities disciplines may be better equipped to address. Only one of the current Duke IDEAS themes has a strong hu-manities fl avor—Information,

Society and Culture.Ensuring the humani-

ties have their place in Duke IDEAS is far from old-fash-ioned. Some of society’s great-est contemporary challenges are best approached through the distinctive lenses these dis-ciplines offer. An investigation into the effects on the brain of the new digital age may incor-porate linguists and historians, but will likely be grounded in the unique insights offered by neuroscience. Similarly, studying the effects of racism in contemporary America would likely bring statisticians and economists to the table, but would perhaps be best organized around a cultural anthropologist’s exploration of the experiences of affected communities. The humanities need to be at the forefront in

these themes, not tacked on as mere decoration.

These fundamental ques-tions—such as those of ethics, power, identity and culture—are perhaps not as intuitively addressable as those of energy, food and information. But they are equally important. The ad-dition of a sixth theme, maybe organized broadly around questions of human values, could ensure that space is carved out for the humanities disciplines.

Clearly, Duke IDEAS aims to help the University produce knowledge in the service of so-ciety, and we understand that Duke’s strengths and limita-tions will impact the issues we tackle. We only ask that this program strive to consider the full range of problems that hu-manity faces.

Reproductive rights advocates may have won the electoral war in 2012, but legislatively, we’re per-

petually on the defense.NARAL Pro-Choice

America found that in 2012, six states enacted eight pro-choice mea-sures. Pro-choice “victo-ries” include California’s extension of the Access Through Primary Care Project, which permits nurse practitioners and physician assistants to provide early abortion care in areas with a shortage of physi-cians. Vermont and Indiana introduced measures to improve low-income indi-viduals’ access to reproductive health services through Medicaid. It’s up-setting that legislative outcomes like promoting healthy childbearing and protecting confidentiality have to be called “victories.” But you take what you can get.

The single biggest thing that we can celebrate from President Obama’s fi rst term is the Patient Protection and Af-fordable Care Act. Insurance plans are now required to cover without co-pay preventive health services for women, including FDA-approved contraceptive methods and cancer screenings.

The reality is that the vast majority of anti-choice legislation comes from state legislatures like the North Carolina General Assembly (NCGA). The NCGA has a track record of restricting repro-ductive freedom; their efforts were slowed with former Gov. Bev Purdue’s vetoes on anti-choice legislation.

In Gov. Pat McCrory’s inaugural ad-dress this past Saturday, he said, “Gov-ernment should not and cannot be a barricade or an obstacle to progress. Our face and our approach should be outward like we are today, not inward.”

Preach.Indeed, in the fi nal gubernatorial

debate between McCrory and Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, McCrory said that he would not support additional obstacles on a woman’s right to safe, legal abor-tion care. Will he keep this pledge? Or does this “outward-looking” approach really mean intrusions upon the private conversations between a woman and her doctor?

Perhaps an example will demon-strate where the state’s priorities lie. In 2011, the NCGA passed House Bill 289, which authorized the issuance of a “Choose Life” license plate. How-ever, amendments proposing plates in favor of reproductive freedom, with messages such as “Respect Choice,” were repeatedly rejected. The Ameri-can Civil Liberties Union immediately filed a suit to force the state to also of-fer a pro-choice plate. Judge James Fox of the U.S. District Court for Eastern North Carolina issued an injunction in November of 2011 and this past De-

cember ruled that only offering anti-choice plates “constitutes viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First

Amendment.”Our state announced

earlier this month that it will offi cially appeal Judge Fox’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

What an excellent ex-penditure of taxpayer dollars! Rather than drop-ping the issue altogether or concurrently offering a “Respect Choice,” plate

(which sounds rather ideologically con-sistent given Republican attitudes on other issues, such as schools), the state is belaboring the point.

Maybe (in this case), North Caro-lina should learn from our southern neighbor. In 2004, the same court to which the state is appealing upheld a South Carolina judge’s ruling that the “Choose Life” plates approved by South Carolina lawmakers were unconstitu-tional. The U.S. Supreme Court did not agree to hear the case. Shortly af-ter, South Carolina legislators passed another law, which permitted nonprof-its to apply directly for special license plates. Problem solved.

The connection between this case and how North Carolina views repro-ductive freedom is elucidated in the destination of funds from the “Choose Life,” license plate sales: $15 of the $25 were directed to the Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship, an association of non-profi t pregnancy counseling centers.

There are approximately 122 crisis pregnancy centers in North Carolina; indeed, there’s one 3.9 miles from West Campus. They lure women in with free pregnancy tests and supposedly unbi-ased counseling and then offer medi-cally inaccurate information. North Carolina should not be in the business of channeling money to these centers, especially as the NCGA attempts to de-fund Planned Parenthood.

This month marked the 40th anni-versary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision affi rming a woman’s constitu-tionally protected right to an abortion. In a recent interview with Salon, Nan-cy Keenan, the president of NARAL, voiced concern that there’s an “inten-sity gap,” in our generation in regards to advocating for reproductive rights. About millennials (i.e., us) she said, “They are pro-choice, but they don’t put the issue of protecting this decision at the top of their list.”

Do we recognize that these battles weren’t put to rest in the 1970s? And are we, as students in North Carolina, aware that many of these battles are be-ing fought right here?

“Redefi ne greatness” by Fedja Pavlovic

Read online at www.dukechronicle.com/opinion

This is a column about medicine, but it doesn’t start in a hospital. Instead it starts in a classroom fi lled to the

brim with eager medical students awaiting the words of a prominent physician. The physician is not of this world. He is, in fact, imaginary—the cre-ation of a real-world physi-cian Abraham Verghese, who practices and teaches at Stanford. Verghese is known to the American public as the author of the bestsellers “My Own Coun-try: A Doctor’s Story” and “Cutting for Stone,” and to the medical community as an incredibly effective, albeit unorthodox, physi-cian. You can watch one of his lectures on TED.com, where he argues that medicine is bound to discover a new and revolutionary tool—the human hand. His fi ctitious physician—the prominent Dr. Thomas Stone, namesake for his most recent best seller—tries to make a similar point to his packed class of medical students. He asks, “What treat-ment in an emergency is administered by ear?” No one seems to know; there aren’t many drugs administered by ear. And then, fi nally, someone speaks up with the sought-after answer: “words of comfort.”

We start with this story about a story be-cause it is an unorthodox way of introduc-ing this column—a series of authors with unorthodox experiences in medicine. We all want to be doctors, but we have very dif-ferent views of what medicine is and can be. Medicine is a truly vast fi eld and can be experienced and pursued in many ways, and it has lessons for all of us. Whether you are a student, nurse, physician or even someone with interests completely outside the fi eld of medicine, there will be some-thing for you in this column. As authors, we want to tell stories from our time as pre-med undergrads at Duke that can encour-age and inform our peers. We also want to use these stories to enliven the many sci-entifi c, ethical, political, economic, social and policy discussions that take place in our community and others. We will write about healthcare in America and whether or not it should be universal. We will look to other parts of the world to see if they can offer lessons. And we will refl ect on those life-changing moments in clinics and labs that challenge, sustain and ultimately redeem our interests in and commitment to medicine. But before we get there, we would like to share our own, brief stories.

Paul Horak is a Duke senior and eco-nomics major, who for the past two years has worked as a research assistant for Har-vard economist David Cutler at the Na-tional Bureau of Economic Research. His research has focused on the relationship between health and employment, with particular emphasis on how public pro-grams—like Social Security Disability In-surance—might mediate labor force tran-

sitions. Paul did not grow up wanting to be a doctor, but now aspires to be a practicing physician and researcher. His columns will focus on the most compelling economic

and humanistic challenges in medicine.

Jay Srinivasan is a Trinity junior and mathematics ma-jor, who has been actively in-volved in emergency medical services (EMS) since April 2009. Currently serving as an offi cer of Duke’s student-run campus EMS agency, he has also spent the past year work-ing part-time with Durham County EMS and obtaining a paramedic certifi cation. These various positions and years of experience with fi eld medicine have afford-ed him a perspective on the

American healthcare system derived from encounters with patients from all walks of life. Jay’s columns will focus on the greater lessons we can take away from working with the patients in our own backyard.

Sanjay Kishore is an aspiring physician who has slowly come to realize that the answers to the most pressing health chal-lenges of tomorrow may not be found in a test tube. Though he entered Duke with dreams of being a geneticist, he’s become a Program II major focused on the social determinants of health, and has had the opportunity to explore the upstream driv-ers of health inequity, ranging from eth-nic confl ict in Sub-Saharan Africa to the lack of health insurance in Durham. His columns will try to capture the essence of a personal—but not unique—journey toward the pursuit of “social medicine,” coming to terms with the disparities that exist, the idealism that inspires and the doubt that follows an aspiring doctor.

Georgia McLendon is a Duke junior, majoring in biology with a focus in anat-omy and physiology. She has worked as a student researcher under Dr. Stephen Nowicki for two years, examining the re-lationship between avian brain size, song complexity and mate choice. In this col-umn, Georgia will provide an undergrad-uate perspective on research methodolo-gies as they relate to thinking critically as a physician. In addition, she will discuss topics in medical ethics, such as the na-ture of well-being and decision-making for those who can’t make decisions for themselves.

Paul Horak, Trinity ’13, Jay Srinivasan, Trinity ’14, Sanjay Kishore, Trinity ’13, and Georgia McLendon, Trinity ’14, are Duke pre-meds. This column is the fi rst installment in a semester-long series of weekly columns written on the pre-med experience at Duke, as well as the di-verse ways students can pursue and engage with the fi eld of medicine.

When Orsino laments his unrequited passion for Countess Olivia in Twelfth Night, he offers the ultimate recipe for numbing heartbreak: “If music be the food of love, play on.” Today his words echo with artists of all types. It’s a rare occasion, however, when seemingly disconnected modes of performance—chamber mu-sic and theatre—share a stage.

In a performance that’s part staged reading and part recital, “Shakespeare: Music’s Muse” will showcase piano-voice duets (a.k.a art songs) either inspired by or written to accompany several of the master-poet’s plays. David Heid (pi-ano) and Andrea Moore (soprano) will call upon works variously influenced by Hamlet, Othello, As You Like It and Twelfth Night. Back-to-back with Heid and Moore, undergraduate thespians Steven Li (’13) and Molly Forlines (’13) will perform selections from the motivating texts.

The performance, to be put on Fri-day, Feb. 8 in the Nelson Music Room, is unusual for many reasons. It includes an eclectic selection of works from vari-ous eras and composers: spanning works from Brahms to 20th century masters H.H.A. Beach and E. W. Korngold. The set also features a partial rendition of the closing number from “Kiss Me Kate,” Cole Porter’s musical version of The Tam-ing of the Shrew, which will involve the whole four-person ensemble. While the set-list of “Music’s Muse” includes some incidental works which originally backed

up performances of Shakespeare, much of what Heid and Moore will perform has never shared the concert space with live theater.

“What we want to do is fully wed art forms that are usually only related,” said Heid, who also teaches piano

at Duke and plays as a staff accompanist. “People these days are trying different ways to prevent classical music besides the usual recital.”

“Music’s Muse” is another example of unexpected student-faculty interaction on equal terms. Heid said

he gave the students free reign to se-lect specific monologues, and Heid believes Li and Forlines will have had as much authority over the vi-sion of the performance as the Triangle veterans. For the student actors, this isn’t their first go at ex-perimental theater nor is it their first time performing Shakespeare. Both Li and Forlines starred in last fall’s Theater Studies show Women Beware Women, an edgy adaptation of Moliere’s classic by the same name, and they also played impor-tant roles in the fall showcase of An-tic Shakespeare, an undergraduate theatre group dedicated to Shake-speare.

Forlines jumped on the oppor-tunity to “flex her Shakespeare muscles” upon hearing of Heid and Moore’s project. For her, the chance to communicate with art song is proving to be an enriching intellec-tual partnership. She said that Heid and Moore’s expression of the mu-sic of Shakespeare’s poetry grants her an indirect understanding of the Bard’s verse.

Shakespeare’s poetry has always been musical. His syllables are composed with

Recital sets Shakespeare-inspired art songs alongside monologues

This spring, the Center for Documentary Studies will present two film festivals, Home Movie Day and Alice Fest, highlighting the preservation of home movies and the role of women in media, respectively.

Home Movie Day, sponsored by the CDS and Duke’s Archive of Documentary Arts, is an annual event that has celebrated amateur films and filmmaking worldwide since 2002. To be held on Saturday, Jan. 26, the event will be hosted by Skip Elsheim-er, founder of A/V Geeks, an online collection of educational and homemade films. In addition to the A/V Geeks films, the event will also fea-ture works by local film archivists and the guests themselves.

“Usually people show up with a shoebox full of films,” Elsheimer said. “When you watch home mov-ies of people you don’t know anything about, it’s actually fascinating. It’s like original reality televi-sion.”

Due to the varying equipment needed for dif-ferent video formats, Home Movie Day will fea-ture only 8mm or 16mm film movies. Although most people have discarded this type of film after transferring content onto VHS or DVD, Elsheim-er argues that the quality of the original film re-mains the finest.

“What we want is for people to hold onto the original film. Those are irreplaceable,” Elsheimer said.

On the other hand, those who have retained collections of their home movies often struggle to find a compatible projector to view them, leading to growing piles of home movies at thrift stores, yard sales and even the garbage. Yet Elsheimer argues that what may appear as a simple personal memory, such as a surprise birthday party, is an essential preservation of cultural his-tory.

“The older the film is, the more important they are because they show things besides Christmas or birthdays,” Elsheimer said. “They show how towns used to look, his-

torical events, what celebrities came to town, all sorts of things.”

Originally held in Raleigh’s North Carolina State Ar-chives Auditorium, Home Movie Day moved to Durham in the hopes of increasing accessibility and finding a new audience among Duke students.

“The CDS likes hosting events like Home Movie Day because home movies are really just another form of docu-

mentary,” CDS Continuing Education Coordinator Marc Maximov said.

Alice Fest, the second event to be held on Sunday, Mar. 10 in recognition of Women’s History Month, presents short documentaries, experimental film and multimedia projects by local women filmmakers. The Southern Docu-mentary Fund, an organization of local documentarians, is partnering with Alice Fest and contributing works-in-

progress from filmmakers based in the South.Named after the first female film director Alice Guy-

Blaché, Alice Fest aims to advance the role of women in filmmaking and media. The founder and host of Alice Fest, documentarian and CDS alum Vivian Bowman-Ed-wards, hopes to highlight women’s accomplishments in filmmaking, which often go overlooked.

“All the things that women are doing and have been doing, people just don’t know about,” Bowman-Edwards said. “Even in history, all the things you learn about, women aren’t included. One goal is to highlight women’s achievements; another is to en-courage women to be involved in media and media-making.”

Similar to Home Movie Day, the event will fea-ture not only curated works but also prior sub-missions accepted on a rolling basis. Divided into two screening blocks, the event will also include a Q&A session with the filmmakers and directors themselves.

In addition to film screenings, Alice Fest will also honor leaders among local teachers, educators, and mentors who have made women more visible in the media through their work. Last year, Alice Fest rec-ognized Sonya Williams Harris, producer and host of the weekly television program Tarheel Talk, and Bar-bara Lau, director of Pauli Murray Project, a com-munity project devoted to civil rights.

While only women filmmakers can submit en-tries, the content of the film can vary from food and travel as seen in Simone Keith’s Bia’s Brazil to a col-lege romance in Nancy Kalow’s The Beginning of the End, both showcased last year at Alice Fest.

Although the list of films for 2013 has yet to be confirmed, Bowman-Edwards looks forward to another positive step towards increasing women’s roles in media through the continuation of Alice Fest.

“It started out as a modest effort, but it turned out really well,” she said. “This is our second year and I’m hoping to grow and expand it.”

Home Movie Day runs from 1-5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 26; Alice Fest begins at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Mar. 10.

Threshold conference convenes at Duke by Kathy Zhou

THE CHRONICLE

From Feb. 28 through Mar. 3, Duke will host Across the Threshold: Creativity, Being & Healing, the international conference, now in its fifth year, that examines the inter-relationship of mind, body, spirit, community and, now, environment.

In 2007, Dance Program colleagues conceptualized an interdisciplinary approach to determining how healing and altered states of consciousness translate to the contem-porary world.

“Dance originated as an expression of spirit, and that’s what we have to offer to academia, to the broader world and to the incredibly huge overarching issues that we face as a species,” says Keval Khalsa, a co-convener of the confer-ence, associate professor of the practice and director of the dance program.

Knowing that the project would extend beyond their own fields, the co-conveners built bridges with the Center for Integrative Medicine and the Franklin Humanities In-stitute, along with several other organizations, students and professionals.

Since then, Duke has convened two interdisciplinary symposia. In 2009, the program invited scholar and art-ist Ciane Fernandes from the Federal University of Bahia, and in 2011, the conference was held in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. Across the Threshold will be Duke’s second interna-tional conference.

“Bringing our students together with a diverse group of individuals who elucidate connections between spiri-tuality and social, economic, environmental and global issues helps to broaden the conversation about the hu-man experience,” Ava Vinesett wrote in an email. An as-sociate professor of the practice of dance and another co-convener of Across the Threshold, Vinesett continued, “In part, our purpose is to further galvanize the spiritual stamina required to heal self and community.”

This year’s conference will be the biggest venture to date with respect to the scope of key presenters and at-tendees. “It’s a big undertaking for a small program,” says Khalsa, “but we’re very thrilled to be connecting with just so many units on campus around the key pre-senters.”

The conference will place a greater emphasis on the environment, considered the missing piece from previous programs. This year’s key presenters are Chris Jordan and Lily Yeh, two artists who, in different but overlapping ways, convey the theme of Across the Threshold.

Chris Jordan is a Seattle-based artist, described by Khalsa as “a brilliant artist, touching people on the vis-ceral level about the sort of global destruction that hu-man activity has brought on.” Bridging the gap between science and art, Jordan takes scientific statistics and com-municates them in a manner intended to stimulate activ-ism. Through photographs and multimedia, Jordan un-apologetically bears witness to the effects of our world’s ravaging consumerism.

His keynote presentation is titled “Encountering Mid-way: the roles of grief, hope, and love in healing our world.” For a number of years Jordan has documented Midway, an atoll located in the North Pacific Ocean cov-ered by massive amounts of garbage and debris. He is currently in the post-production stage of a documentary about his work at Midway and will show select clips dur-

ing his presentation.During his residency, Jordan will also

work with the Nicholas School of the Envi-ronment, interact with MFA students in Ex-perimental and Documentary Arts and join Arts of the Moving Image for a Screen/Soci-ety event on Jan. 27.

The second key presenter is Lily Yeh, a Chi-nese-American community-based artist who has worked extensively in impoverished areas including villages in Rwanda and a Philadel-phia neighborhood. Yeh also worked in the suburbs of Beijing at the Dandelion School for the children of Chinese migrant workers, which is now a DukeEngage site.

Yeh is the cofounder of Barefoot Artists, a

Panoramic video journals. Interactive digital installa-tion. Experimental film. These are just a few of the artistic forms that will be found in the Immersed in Every Sense 2, a Visiting Artist Lecture Series. Organized by the arts fac-ulty and supported by funding from the Vice Provost for the Arts, the series brings to campus artists from around the United States and Canada for a brief residency, during which the artists give public lectures, demonstrations and visit classes.

The title of the series hints at what the faculty aim to do with Duke’s arts education, Professor William No-land of the Art, Art History and Visual Studies depart-ment said. The faculty purposefully chose “artists that cross borders the same way our department is focused on interdisciplinarity,” Noland explained. This spring series especially highlights new forms of image capture-based work, intersecting visual art, technology and ex-perience.

Noland explained that the creation of the series was motivated by the need for cohesive artist visits; the se-ries coordinates lectures across the art programs and the Nasher Museum of Art. The Department of Art, Art History and Visual Studies (AAHVS) has always brought in artists, explained AAHVS Professor Pedro Lasch, but the funding from the Vice Provost for the Arts allows for a more extensive series with bigger-name artists.

The lectures are geared toward undergraduates, but are open to the public. Class visits provide undergraduate students with a different take on their own artwork from an outside professional. The series also creates space for more interaction between undergraduates and the stu-dents from the new MFA in Experimental and Documen-tary Arts program.

The practice of visual art is moving towards more “cross-pollination” with other disciplines, especially with the sciences, Noland said. The artists taking part in the series were specifically chosen to represent a di-versity of subjects and for their ability to speak to a broad range of people, explained Lasch. This year’s se-

ries includes artists that will especial-ly appeal to students with interests in engineering, information science, computer science and environmen-tal science.

Engineering students may be par-ticularly interested in artist Chris Coleman. Scheduled to visit Duke in late February, Coleman began by studying mechanical engineering, after which he turned to visual art. His practice often takes the form of interactive installation, involving sculpture, performance and video. Coleman is concerned with control systems, theories of chaos and order and interactive digital art involving complex audio/visual manipulation, tying together the disciplines of art and technology.

Danwei Wu, a Trinity ’14 neuro-science major also double-minoring in chemistry and visual arts, attend-ed several of the lectures from last year’s series, the first Immersed in Ev-ery Sense. Wu was encouraged to at-tend the lectures by a professor, but then went to a few just for fun.

“The whole concept is immer-sive—you’re part of the piece, you’re interacting with the piece, versus looking at the painting,” Wu said of the artists’ work.

This year’s series is no different. Both artists scheduled for March work at the cutting edge of film. Luc Courchesne works in experimental video, creating in-teractive portraiture and “panoscopic” images with a de-vice of his own making. The panoscopic images could be described as panoramic in-the-round videos—for in-stance, one piece is a video journal of a beach, with the

by Dan FishmanTHE CHRONICLE

It’s hard to talk about the history of the Duke Wind Symphony without mentioning Paul Bryan. Among alumni who played under him during his thirty-eight year tenure, his status is legend-ary. Part musicologist, part conductor, the man who students call P.B. presided over many of the symphony’s most thriv-ing years. He envisioned, planned and eventually led five semester-long con-cert tours and study abroad programs in Vienna, Austria for DWS members. A relentless advocate for the creation of compositions made especially for wind symphonies, he commissioned pieces by some of the most famous American com-posers for concert bands, many of which, including Norman Dello Joio’s “Variants on a Medieval Tune,” have been played by symphonies around the world. He’s published numerous academic articles on Haydn and Mozart, helped run Dur-ham’s Youth Symphony and, even though he’s turning 93 in April, still plays the euphonium at many of the Duke Wind Symphony’s twice-weekly rehearsals. In 2008, former students of his worked with him to publish a book about his life and work under the apt title P.B., Who He?: Teacher, Not-your-usual Band Conductor, Musicologist and Human Being.

Despite his many accomplishments, it’s that last quality, P.B.’s generous hu-manity, that I’ve heard spoken about most enthusiastically by his friends and colleagues. “He’s such a wonderful per-son,” said Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant, current director of the DWS. “I just want to give a little back for what he’s given me.”

On Apr. 18 at 8 p.m., Mösenbichler-Bryant and many DWS members both past and current will have that opportu-nity. The date marks the group’s second concert of the semester, a concert that will be dedicated to P.B. and his lasting impact. The group will perform pieces that P.B. conducted during his first con-cert at Duke, as well as some of the piec-es that he commissioned and some of his personal favorites. Mösenbichler-Bryant has hinted that P.B. will take the podium for at least one of the pieces, conducting once more, and P.B. himself will likely play his euphonium. Alumni living as far away as Russia have RSVP’d to play with the Symphony during April’s concert. Many of these same alumni have stayed

in contact with P.B. well after their time at Duke.

“His memory for all of his students is just incredible,” said Shauna Farmer, Trinity ’86, who played bassoon with the symphony. “He makes me feel like I’m someone special, but in the grand scheme of things, he probably keeps in touch with dozens of students. He really cared about all of us.”

P.B. has a catalog of stories about times he has had with his students, and it’s clear that they are as important to him—if not more important—than the music he helped to make. “It took an enormous amount of energy, but I loved the students—they were so responsive—and it was like falling in love,” P.B. said about his first trip to Vienna.

When I talked with P.B., he regularly returned to experiences he had abroad with the symphony. On his first trip to Vienna with the group, he remembers playing in the best concert hall and read-ing a review by an Austrian critic that said that the students played with “an exemplary precision one doesn’t hear in this land” even though only a few were interested in becoming professional mu-sicians. “I think we were the first serious American wind band to go [to Vienna] and play,” P.B. said. Throughout his time at Duke, the symphony toured many other major European cities, and the large group photos of students in ’70s-era attire and assorted concert posters hanging in Mösenbichler-Bryant’s office in the Mary Duke Biddle Music Building attest to their presence abroad.

Inspired by P.B.’s trips, Mösenbichler-Bryant hopes to reinstate the practice of touring that had stopped in recent decades. This fall, DWS is scheduled to perform in Atlanta, which, though not exactly Europe, should allow the young director an opportunity to practice tour-ing before planning more extended, possibly international trips in the future. Her enthusiasm about touring is only one of the similarities between Mösen-bichler-Bryant and P.B. “She’s really grabbed the students,” P.B. said. “She’s vital, and she’s a very good conductor.” Those are the kind of qualities that have helped her to grow the DWS back to over 60 musicians from a low-point of 30 just before she was hired. “Before I came here I was told this was the last chance for the Wind Symphony to thrive again,”

David Arcus Sunday, January 27, 2013 5:00 p.m.David Arcus playing has been praised for its display of “exalted pomp and spirit, and a genuine affection for his listener” (Fanfare). In addition to serving as Associate University Organist and Chapel Organist at Duke, he is also the Divinity School Organist and an Adjunct Associate Professor of Sacred Music. His program in this year’s series, performed on the Flentrop organ, will feature music from the German Baroque, including works by Scheidemann, Reincken, Bach, and Bruhns.

Jonathan BiggersSunday, February 24, 20135:00 p.m.Jonathan Biggers, hailed as “one of the most outstanding concert organists in the United States,” will present a recital on the Aeolian organ. He currently holds the prestigious Edwin Link Endowed Professorship in Organ and Harpsichord at Binghamton University in New York. Biggers has appeared as a recitalist or soloist with orchestra in hundreds of concerts throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. One critic wrote of him, “Were there more performers like this, the organ would be far less a minority interest.” On Saturday, February 23, at 11:00 a.m., Jonathan Biggers will offer a workshop on “Creative Hymn Playing” in the Chapel chancel (free and open to the public).

Robert ParkinsSunday, March 24, 20135:00 p.m.Robert Parkins is the University Organist and a Professor of the Practice of Music at Duke. His recordings have appeared on the Calcante, Gothic, Musical Heritage Society, and Naxos labels, and his performances have been described as “fresh and spontaneous, transforming the music from museum artifacts to living works of beauty” (The Diapason). This season’s program, “The Art of Variation,” will include music by early Spanish, Italian, and German composers on the Brombaugh organ, plus works by Bach and Reger on the Flentrop.

Duke University Chapel Organ Recitals 2013

by Derek SaffeTHE CHRONICLE

In recent years, the film scene at Duke has become one of its artistic strengths. Coupled with a burgeoning MFA pro-gram for documentary and experimen-tal film and the ever-increasing presence of Duke’s faculty and alumni in the film-making world, Screen/Society has been influential in creating a stimulating cin-ematic climate. Every semester Screen/Society, the umbrella organization that presents most of Duke’s film series, ex-hibits a wide range of works from around the globe to expand the audience’s aca-demic and cultural conception of film.

Headed by the Arts of the Moving Im-age (AMI) department’s Hank Okazaki, Screen/Society, in conjunction with other academic departments, works to organize series that spotlight influential films not readily available to the public.

Okazaki says that “…this semester will showcase one of our strongest programs yet, with a wide range of films that you won’t see anywhere else in the Triangle, or in even in the state or the region.”

The AMI Showcase is a series of films co-curated with other AMI faculty and focuses on the work of cinematographer Christopher Doyle. Doyle was in charge of representing virtuoso director Wong

Kar-Wai’s hyper-stylized and sen-sual flair in Hong Kong cinema classics like Chungking Express, Ashes of Time and Happy Together. His work with the Thai director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang on Last Life of the Universe will also be shown. In addition, a selection of short films and a tribute to the recent-ly deceased avant-garde film es-sayist Chris Marker will be pre-sented.

The 2013 Ethics Film Series in collaboration with the Kenan Institute for Ethics will focus on the theme of “love and justice.” Okazaki describes these films as “engag[ing] the tension between the demands of justice and the grace of love.” A discussion will follow each showing elaborating on the ethical, social and politi-cal issues presented. There will also be a human rights-themed

Screen/Society rolls out spring film seriesseries, Rights! Camera! Action!, showing films that have won awards at Durham’s Full Frame Documentary Festival.

Cine-East: East Asian Cinema is the longest running film series at Duke. In its 22nd consecutive semester, the latest in-stallment will focus on a special series cu-rated by Professor Nayoung Aimee Kwon entitled “Transnational North Korea.” The series will bring together a selec-tion of films attempting to challenge and deepen our representation of North Ko-rea and its place in both local and global spheres.

Studies Program at Duke will feature films from Argentina, Zimbabwe and Benin. The film from Benin, Si-Gueriki, will have a discussion after the showing with its director Idrissou Mora Kpai, cur-rently a visiting instructor at Duke.

The Middle East Film Series compris-es three films from Iran, a Palestinian-Israeli collaboration and two Egyptian films. The first film in the series, A Separation, won the 2012 Best Foreign Language Oscar by deftly sketching an intimate and poignant portrait of a marriage’s dissolution in contemporary

Iran. One of the most intriguing and potentially controversial films shown by Screen/Society this semester is the Sun-dance Directing Award-winning 5 Broken Cameras. This documentary chronicles the struggle of a Palestinian farmer’s nonviolent resistance to the building of a separation barrier by the Israeli army in his village. Told through the lens of five cameras that are shattered or shot through the course of filming, the foot-age was edited by Israeli director Guy Davidi.

There will also be two special events, a screening by acclaimed photographer and environmental activist Chris Jordan for his work-in-progress documentary

Midway and a screening of the best stu-dent films produced in Duke’s Arts of the Moving Image courses.

Screen/Society prides itself on being one of the premier programs for film and video exhibition in the Triangle region. This semester’s offerings seek to solidify its reputation and hopefully craft an even more prominent place for cinema as an academic invigorator with-in the Duke community.

All screenings are free and open to the public. For more information about the Spring 2013 screening schedule, visit http://ami.duke.edu/screensociety.

an ear for not only meter but harmony. But these art songs, if successful, have the oppor-tunity to bring out melodic strains and moods that might otherwise be difficult to access.

“When I hear one of his sonnets I want to break into dance,” Forlines said. “When I listen to the language, when I speak it, I know that music is innate to the text.”

said Mösenbichler-Bryant. “So far it seems like we have continuity again. It’s getting closer to how it was in P.B.’s time.”

It’s tempting to think about the con-cert as an event that passes the baton from the legacy of P.B.’s reign to the new DWS under Mösenbichler-Bryant. But it’s probably more appropriate to view it simply as an opportunity to pay tribute to a man who has done so much for the Symphony. “Alumni players have told me that for them he is the Duke Wind Symphony,” Mösenbichler-Bryant said. April’s concert is the ultimate chance to both honor P.B.’s central and lasting role in building the DWS and to con-vince those very alumni that the group will outlast him.

The Duke Wind Symphony performs A Concert Dedicated to Paul Bryan April 18 at 8 p.m. in Page Auditorium. Admission is free. There will be a celebratory reception af-ter the concert at which audience members can meet P.B.

landscape and place through documen-tary filmmaking.

While the Immersed in Every Sense 2 series is defined by its funding from the Vice Provost for the Arts, AAHVS is also hosting artists with a similar in-terdisciplinary approach. Artist Pablo Helguera, currently the director of adult and academic programs at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, will be visiting this week and giv-ing a lecture on Thursday. His work en-compasses a wide array of mediums, in-cluding sculpture, painting, installation and performance and often engages with social issues.

Immersed in Every Sense 2 is a semester-long series. More information about visiting artists and events details can be found at http://aahvs.duke.edu/.

community. Throughout her residency, she will also speak with the Asian American Association and the Duke Center for Civic Engagement, work with schoolchildren in Durham and meet DukeEngage students who will work at the Dandelion School this summer.

Across the Threshold is designed as a space through which attendees can nourish and explore the purpose of spirit and healing. These are themes the conference conveners would argue are sometimes overlooked—academically, personally and socially—yet are pro-foundly connected to much more than our individual experience.

“As artists, what is the contribution that we make to society?” Khalsa asked. “These are questions that we’re explor-ing through this conference. The idea of embodied practice is central to the work we do. We can heal on all levels by start-ing in the body because this is where we live.”

Registration and additional information at http://danceprogram.duke.edu/threshold. Duke student, faculty and staff discounts available. Separate registration is required for the pre-con-ference workshop.
