A call to actionPolice look into Central rape report

Board OKs budget for FY ’10-’11

Former football players plead guilty to weapons charges after Jan. incident

by Joanna LichterTHE CHRONICLE

A female student reported she was raped in a Central Campus apartment May 14, Chief John Dailey of the Duke University Police Department confirmed Monday.

The incident took place from about 2:30 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday according to the DUPD incident report. The student re-ported the assault anonymously to DUPD Saturday at approximately 10:09 a.m., ac-cording to the report.

The student allegedly met the unknown suspect at a local nightclub.

Although Dailey said Monday the com-plainant was raped, the DUPD report was originally filed as a sexual assault.

Duke Police declined to give any details about the suspect, including whether any suspects are in custody. DUPD Assistant Chief Gloria Graham said the complain-ant is cooperating with the investigation.

DUPD did not send out a DukeAlert e-mail or text notification to the student body about the event but issued an e-mail update to the Police News listserv at 11:29 a.m. Monday.

At its meeting Friday, the Board of Trustees approved a $1.93 billion budget for fiscal year 2010-2011, which includes double-digit percent increases to both un-dergraduate financial aid funding and em-ployee benefit costs.

This budget is a 5.6 percent increase from last year’s flat budget, which did not call for any increased spending. Still, the expansion is smaller than the 9 percent annual budget increase typical before the recession.

Board Chair and Democratic state Sen. Dan Blue, Law ’73, said the budget is “aus-tere,” but also one that allows the Univer-sity to look forward beyond the recession.

“[The increase] means that we’re cog-nizant of [the recession], and budgeting in tough times requires tough choices,” Blue said. “The administration is still imple-menting some of the [Duke Administrative Reform Team’s] actions, but at the same time, we have to continue on.”

The increase can be attributed largely to the projected 4 percent rise in revenue to about $1.27 billion which is mostly generated by the schools, said Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. Much of this new revenue is coming from new academic programs the University is fast-tracking to help offset its re-maining $40 million budget shortfall.

More money, more aidThe University approved four new master’s

degree programs last year, and at its meeting this weekend the Board approved five more new graduate-level degree programs.

“I don’t think anyone would say any of these are going to be giant cash cows… but they are a great use of the resources of the University in very imaginative ways,” Presi-dent Richard Brodhead said. “In truth, they’re all things that fall within the strate-gic plans…. They’re not stopgap measures to raise money, they’re projects we have defined as important for the future of edu-cation.”

Although the programs require some use of University money and resources, they are nevertheless profitable for Duke. The most recently approved graduate-level programs together could add more than $20 million in annual revenue, according to the project proposals.

Three former Duke football players pleaded guilty in Durham County court

Tuesday to charges of possession of a weapon on educational property and carrying a concealed weapon.

John Drew, Kyle Gris-would and Brandon Putnam, all freshmen last year, were each giv-en a year of supervised probation in place of

a 45-day sentence, which the judge sus-pended. They each must complete 140 hours of community service and pay a $500 fine plus court fees. The players are also barred from campus.

The three players along with one uniden-

tified non-student faced charges after police, who were responding to a fire alarm in Ay-cock Residence Hall, heard gunshots on East Campus around 3 a.m. Jan. 17. Police report-

ed that the four fired the semi-automatic handgun into the air while driving around East, although it remains unclear how many shots were fired. The four were held in jail on a $40,000 secured bond on the night of the incident.

All three players lat-er withdrew from the University. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, said Wednesday that the University declined to comment on the case.

The players could have received as

much as 13 to 16 months in prison, Chief John Dailey of the Duke University Police Department said in a January interview.

Dailey said Wednesday that he could not comment on who the unidentified person is, how many shots were fired, how the students obtained the weapon or whether alcohol or drugs were involved in the case. Dailey added that DUPD turned over all information to the district attorney.

Inside the courtroom, lawyers represent-ing the defendants called the incident a “bad mistake” on the part of the former players, all of whom had no prior criminal record.

Cloudy skies surrounded Wallace Wade Stadium as more than 3,500 students received undergraduate, gradu-ate or professional degrees Sunday.

Inside the stadium, however, the future was bright. Presi-dent Richard Brodhead, commencement speaker Muham-mad Yunus and student speaker David Distenfeld urged graduates to make the most of their lives after Duke.

“As you write the story of your life, I trust you will build on the hopes and aspirations that you sketched out on this magical campus,” Brodhead said after conferring degrees. “You have the talent, Duke gave you the tools, time for you to do the builders’ work.”

Yunus, a Bangladeshi banker who is considered the father of microfinance, encouraged the Class of 2010 to take advantage of those tools, especially the “technology” graduates have in their hands.

“Technology is like a vessel, it is like a car. It is the driver who decides where you want to take it,” said Yunus, who received an honorary degree at Sunday’s ceremo-nies. “If you want to use this technology to make money, it will take you to make money. If you want to take this technology to change the world, to make a better world, definitely it will take you there. It is your choice what you want to do with it.”

In his speech, Yunus discussed how he established the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh because he believed in em-powering the poor. Yunus and Grameen Bank went on to jointly receive the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for their bot-tom-up approach to banking. Yunus added that he did not know much about banking when he unexpectedly entered the field, which ended up helping him.

“I didn’t have to follow the rules,” he said. “These big banks told me back in 1976, ‘Banks cannot lend money to the poor because they are not credit worthy.’ So I started asking people in New York, ‘Can you tell me who are credit worthy now?’”

Distenfeld, who graduated summa cum laude and was a member of Duke University Improv, does not have the experience in banking that Yunus has, but he offered

similar advice. Distenfeld used the “Yes, and...” improv technique to speak broadly about the Class of 2010’s ex-perience at Duke.

“So much of my Duke experience has been unre-hearsed, completely unscripted,” Distenfeld said. “Improv can teach us all how to successfully navigate life after Duke. ‘Yes, and...’ teaches us to not just accept the world we live in, but to also find ways to make it a better place.”

Distenfeld provided many examples of this principle in action, from the way Duke Athletics built on Cameron Crazies’ enthusiasm with this year’s Countdown to Crazi-ness event to a short film Distenfeld made with a friend sophomore year. Distenfeld said the film eventually col-lected almost five million views on YouTube and helped raise thousands of dollars for pediatric cancer research.

“The concept of ‘Yes, and...’ was both entertaining and also a good explanation of what we should do with our lives,” said graduating senior Upom Malik.

In addition to Yunus, four other scholars and public officials received honorary degrees. Among them were Temple Grandin, an expert in humane livestock facilities design and animal behavior, and Joel Klein, chancellor of the New York City Department of Education whose Chil-dren First initiative works to improve the district’s educa-tional quality. Alasdair MacIntyre, a moral philosopher who taught at Duke, and Sir John Pendry, a physicist who used the field of metamaterials to help create a practical “invisibility cloak,” also received honorary degrees.

Katie Griswold, mother of graduating senior Caroline Gris-wold, said commencement reflected “$160,000 well spent.”

“The focus of Duke is clearly on using your talents and skills to do good things for the little guy in the world,” Ka-tie Griswold said.

Bill Kohler, the grandfather of graduating twins Laura and Elizabeth Duncan, said the entire graduation week-end—which has been full of receptions and services—was uplifting. He added that the ceremonies and speeches were better than his daughter’s 1986 graduation from Duke.

“All the challenges [graduating students] were given were very appropriate,” Kohler said.

Although they were in town to enjoy commencement, friends and family of the graduates provide a strong boost to Durham’s economy, according to a Duke news release. Visitors spend an estimated $3.2 million on expenditures like food and hotel rooms, and they will also leave about $140,750 in local tax revenues for the city and county, the news release said.

Yunus also discussed profits in his speech, reminding graduates that they have the option to work for profit-mak-ing companies or social businesses built on the principle of selflessness.

“Each individual, each human being, has the power—the enormous power—to change the world, and you have it,” Yunus concluded. “Are you going to use that power to change the world? That is the question I leave with you.”

Chief John Dailey of the Duke University Police Depart-ment wrote in an e-mail Wednesday that two people were transported to the Emergency Department during com-mencement, one for heat and one for another condition.

Speakers urge graduates to better the world

“Technology is like a vessel, it is like a car. It is the driver who decides where you want to take it. If you

want to use this technology to make money, it will take you to make

money. If you want to take this tech-nology to change the world, to make a better world, definitely it will take you there. It is your choice what you

want to do with it.” — Muhammad Yunus,

commencement speaker


New application to allow bus tracking

by Carmen AugustineTHE CHRONICLE

Students racing to the bus stop to catch the C-1 will soon have bus locations at their fingertips.

Matthew Ball, Trinity ’10, has been working with Parking and Transportation Services to create a new Web application that will allow the tracking of University buses online. The GPS-based application, which will cover all bus routes on campus as well as the Robertson and Safe Ride routes, is expected to be available by the Fall, said Sam Veraldi, director of finance for campus services.

“I think the problem with public transportation is you have so much less control over your own mobility,” Ball said. “If you have a system that can allow you

to schedule better, I think it can increase people’s usage of buses and Safe Rides.”

Ball proposed the idea for a bus track-ing system to Parking and Transportation. He said it was encouraging that administra-tive groups on campus were receptive to student input.

The University has considered other track-ing systems, but Ball’s pitch was a more afford-able and appropriate option, Veraldi said.

“It looked like a good application for us,” Veraldi said. “Students have been ask-ing for something like this for some time.”

The buses will be equipped with prepaid Motorola mobile phones to allow tracking on an online map. Veraldi said the system will allow users to plan

Group approves update to Acceptable Use Policy

by Joanna LichterTHE CHRONICLE

In a meeting May 13, the Academic Council approved the updated Accept-able Use Policy and heard a presentation on major financial challenges facing the University.

The revised AUP sets new guidelines for the privacy and security of information on Duke servers. The Information Technology Advisory Council changed the policy to include clauses that address legal, regulatory and compliance issues that have developed since the original version was released in May 1997.

Under the new policy, investigations, lawsuits, subpoenas or threatened litiga-tion may legally require the University to produce electronic records or other re-lated information resources to defend its legal interests.

“The new language [of the policy] in-dicates that Executive Vice President [Tall-man Trask]... or University President [Rich-ard Brodhead] would need to sign off on any order to secure data for some internal investigation that is not currently covered by existing policy,” Academic Council Chair Craig Henriquez, professor of biomedical engineering, wrote in an e-mail this week.

Henriquez said the disclosure of secure data is expected to occur very rarely. Attempts will be made to notify users if their documents

are used for investigation, he added.Although the new policy encompasses e-

mails and electronic files, it does not cover other potentially confidential information such as paper files or DVDs that might be held in a Duke office or Duke system.

The policy currently requires all system administrators at the Office of Information Technology and Trinity College of Arts and Sciences who have access to user files and e-mails to sign a confidentiality agreement. The council pushed for an extension of the agreement to all administrators in dif-ferent schools of the University that have developed since the original policy was put into effect.

The Information Technology Security Office may also encrypt data if it needs to be secured, Henriquez said. Although this matter is not included in the new policy, it may be discussed in a separate document.

“The sense was that since this is a changing legal landscape we do not know if this is pos-sible or always desirable,” he said this week. “Hence OIT will explore it more fully.”

The new AUP will be edited by the exec-utive council of the Academic Council and will be made available for all users once the language is finalized.

In addition, the council was presented

University looks to change perceptions of Centralby Caroline Fairchild

THE CHRONICLE

As a scientist, Dean and Vice Provost for Undergradu-ate Education Steve Nowicki knows that making progress requires experimentation and that experiments often fail.

Along with Vice President of Student Affairs Larry Moneta, Nowicki is working on a plan to not only revital-ize Central Campus housing, but to shift the student per-spective of the campus as well. Mill Village has provided a long awaited dining option and social gathering space, but administrators acknowledge that there is still work to be done to foster a sense of community on Central.

“It wasn’t adequate just to make a space like the Mill Village like they do in ‘Field of Dreams’ and say, ‘they will come,’” Nowicki said. “There is more work to be done than simply creating a physical state. We need to get student social activity out there. That’s where Ubuntu came in, rather conveniently, willing to start a section out there.”

In Fall 2009, Ubuntu—Duke’s civic engagement selec-tive living group—became the first group on Central pav-ing the way for Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and Pan-Hellenic members to acquire space.

“For a long time I think the administration just wanted the whole Central Campus issue to go away,” senior Alex Levy said. “They paid no attention to it, but finally realized with Mill Village that they have to provide for the large student population that lives on Central that is still paying tuition and a part of the Duke community.”

Nowicki was spearheading the creation of New Campus, but when the economy took a turn for the worse, his image for a new Duke was forced to change.

“Ignoring the existing Central Campus as long as we did was a bad idea,” Nowicki said. “When it became very appar-ent that New Campus was going to be delayed, I realized we couldn’t wait any longer and we had to push on Central.”

Moneta noted that while initially New Campus would have replaced Central as a housing option, it may be 10 years be-fore New Campus will be completed, which is why it is impor-tant to address the basic needs of Central and its amenities.

Constructed in the early 1970s, Central was built as a desirable alternative for many students on financial aid who found cooking meals at home more economical, noted Nowicki, citing a 2009 letter to the Committee on Undergraduate Affairs.

But as the community on Central has changed, resi-dents like Levy cannot believe the University has not taken action to address the problem.

Senior Carissa Mueller, former civic engagement chair of Ubuntu, said the unique layout of Central Campus makes it difficult to create an inviting social environment for residents because it is not as open as West and East campuses. Mueller, however, said the new housing model on Central has potential.

“I absolutely loved living on Central and I didn’t expect it to be so great,” Mueller said. “The activities are infec-tious too and makes it more open. Living in a selective liv-ing group on Central makes it so much better because you are always doing things with your group.”

In five years there could potentially be 10 selective liv-ing groups on Central, said Terry Lynch, Residence Life and Housing Services assistant dean of staff development and Central Campus.

He added that the University is going to identify five or so areas of improvement that can be renovated in all of the apartments on Central this summer. Apart-ments that need roof replacements will be addressed and 221 Alexander will receive extensive interior and

exterior renovations to serve as a model for future work on Central. As groups come in and renovations are com-pleted, Nowicki said he hopes students will choose to live on Central rather than feel like they are forced to live there.

In a effort to make Central a more desirable place to live, Lynch said the administration is working to change student perceptions regarding safety as well.

“If students don’t feel safe, they don’t feel safe. Period,” he said.

Lynch said break-ins and robberies have gone down significantly since 2005, but that there is still work to be done. The administration is scheduling a walk around Central Campus with members of Duke Univer-sity Police Department, Campus Council and Residen-tial Life and Housing Services to locate the areas that need more lighting so that fixtures can be installed in Fall 2010.

“I would never say to a young woman, or worse, her mother, not to worry about it because the statistics say that it’s safe,” Nowicki said.

Nowicki added that some simple physical renovations will do a lot to help students feel safer and allow the administration to move closer to their mission to make Central desirable.

“West as the center of Duke’s universe is going to change,” Nowicki said. “There is an inertia to the opinion of things, but to be honest, I think a positive feedback loop about Central may happen faster than we think.”

With plans to live on Central next semester, sophomore Chris Brown, vice president of athletic and campus services, said he sees perspectives of living on Central shifting as well.

“As Duke students, we have a sentimental connection to West Campus,” he said. “But the administration is putting a lot of money into Central, and I know that there are a lot of resources to take advantage of. That’s what needs to happen to lift the Central stigma and get students excited.”

TRuSTEES from page 1

Although Duke has a larger budget for the next fiscal year, Brodhead said the Uni-versity does not plan to drastically increase its spending.

“We’ve really remained quite hawk-eyed about the budget—we have to be, and I think we all understand that,” Brod-head said.

Spending will increase in one major area next year as the University adds to its need-based financial aid budget. The approved fiscal year 2010-2011 budget increases the University’s undergraduate need-based fi-nancial aid by 11.8 percent, to $108.5 mil-lion, and its graduate and professional stu-dent aid by 5.9 percent.

The increase to financial aid will help balance the 3.9 percent increase to tuition

approved at the Board’s February 2010 meeting, Blue said.

“We’re a need-blind admissions institu-tion, and we are going to match a student’s aid to his or her needs,” he said. “So we are just being somewhat conservative making sure we set aside any anticipated need for the student and at the same time realizing that the costs are increasing also... and we have to offset those.”

Trask said the increase is based on es-timates of incoming and returning stu-dents’ needs. He noted that the number will not be final until the end of the sum-mer, but “an early look suggests that the estimates are about right.” The increases to aid will be funded by new revenue and reserves, he added.

the costsThe budget calls for the University to

draw $72 million in reserve funding. These reserve funds were approved by the Trust-ees at their Feb. 2009 Board meeting to help the University offset the impact of re-duced revenue as it tries to cut what was then estimated to be a $125 million deficit. The funds came from retained earnings from the endowment that accumulated over time.

Trask said the University used a little more than he had hoped in reserve funds, but “not alarmingly so.” The University still has about $500 million in unrestricted re-serve funds, he said.

The budget also projected a 14 percent increase in employee benefit costs, largely due to rising health care expenses.

Duke offers its health care and ben-efits package at an estimated 25 to 30 percent less than comparable packages, Trask said. It also offers generous retire-ment packages for employees and a tu-ition benefit.

“We face the same challenge as every-one else does as long as you have out of control [health care expenses],” Brodhead said. “Still, I think it does remain highly un-derstood that Duke’s benefits are as good as you’re going to find.”

But as the University looks to cut anoth-er $40 million from its budget in the next two years, Trask said Duke will have to take a close look at its priorities.

“We can decide to afford it, but that means we’ll have to give up something else,” he said. “Basically when you look at the benefits, about $400 million, about half is federal and state taxes—and you can’t decide not to pay them. The other big ticket items are health care and retirement, and I expect to have conversations about both this year. It’ll be an interesting part of the conver-sation as we put together the [fiscal year

2011-2012] budget. We certainly cannot sustain back-to-back, double-digit health care increases.”

Still, the Trustees tried to look ahead at last weekend’s meeting. The Board ap-proved a proposal to plan an indoor mul-tipurpose field and renewed discussion about New Campus plans.

Blue said he hopes to maintain mo-mentum on the New Campus project, although he acknowledged that this re-quires a more creative approach to imple-menting plans.

looking at ‘Duke’s home’The Board spent a large portion of

its meeting discussing the relationship between Duke and Durham, including the role the University has played in the revitalization of downtown Durham. Brodhead said representatives from the city including Mayor Bill Bell and City Manager Tom Bonfield along with Phail Wynn, vice president for Durham and regional affairs, discussed Duke’s role in Durham’s changing culture, economy and real estate development.

“It’s been critical, this partnership be-tween Duke and Durham,” Blue said. “Dur-ham is Duke’s home and Duke needs to make sure Durham is growing and thriving, and Durham needs to do the same with re-spect to Duke.”

Although Brodhead and Blue noted the “very high level of collaboration” Duke has had with Durham, Trask said its direct fi-nancial investment in the city may be draw-ing to an end.

“We’ve made our capital investment, there’s not a lot more we’re going to do,” Trask said. “Between American Tobacco and [the Durham Performing Arts Center] and West Village, my view is at some point somebody else has to step up.”

and employees of incidents that “pose a serious or continuing threat” to the Duke community. Dailey said there was not sufficient information to determine if the report was an isolated incident or a continuing threat as of about 6 p.m. Monday.

Graham said the report was a blind report, which leaves the complainant anonymous.

The University’s sexual misconduct policy permits students to submit blind re-ports with both Duke and Durham’s police departments.

“The University will make all reason-able efforts to ensure the preservation of confidentiality, restricting information to those with a legitimate need for it,” the policy reads.

Durham Police could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Duke Police declined to say whether the Durham Police Department is investigating the incident.

Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek said the Office of Student Conduct only intervenes if the suspect is a student, adding that the University does not have jurisdiction over non-Duke affiliates.

“Our main focus is on supporting the victim and making certain she receives the information, support and resources she needs,” she said.

Sheila Broderick, sexual assault support services coordinator for the Women’s Cen-ter, declined to comment on whether the student is working with the Women’s Cen-ter. Broderick wrote in an e-mail that the Women’s Center has provided services to 89 students since July 2009.

“My services are available to any student who is the victim of gendered violence, which includes dating violence, rape, sex-ual assault and stalking,” Broderick said. “So not every one of these 89 students is a victim of the subcategory of rape.”

Police reports of rape, however, are rare on campus. According to the An-nual Clery Campus Security Report for 2009-2010, 17 incidents of forcible sexual offenses were reported on campus from 2006 to 2008. Of these offenses, seven were reported to have taken place in housing facilities.

Between five and seven sexual offenses were reported in each of the three years, according to the data in the report. The most recent information is from 2008, in which five forcible sexual offenses were re-ported, none of which occurred in residen-tial buildings.

Dailey declined to say if the complain-ant is pressing charges.

“We would prefer clearly to have the as-sistance of the victim,” Dailey said. “But in a case we felt that the public safety was in danger... we would present the case to the District Attorney regardless.”

Duke rolls over rival Hopkins

Zachary tracer/the chronicle

Sophomore Robert Rotanz, who had a goal and an assist in the game, flies over a Johns Hopkins defender.

by Jacob LevittTHE CHRONICLE

After falling by a single goal to Johns Hopkins in the teams’ last three NCAA Tournament meetings, Duke finally got revenge on the Blue Jays by cruising to an 18-5 win in the first round and ending its rival’s streak of 19 straight NCAA quarter-final appearances. Twelfth-seeded Johns Hopkins was no match for the Blue Devils,

who held a 40-13 shot advantage for the game and had all but assured vic-tory by the time the

fourth quarter started.“Last night I told the guys how proud I

was of them for their preparation this past week,” head coach John Danowski said. “I felt that all week the guys were really fo-cused and practiced and prepared really well. The guys did a phenomenal job and the success of this afternoon was certainly reflective of how we practiced during the week.”

The Blue Devils got off to a quick start, but the game’s pivotal play came in the mid-dle of the second quarter. With the score 6-4 sophomore midfielder Justin Turri picked up a ground ball and found senior attacker Max Quinzani for a wide open shot right in front of the net. After that play, during the next quarter and a half, Duke scored 11 unanswered goals, creating a dominant 18-4 lead that removed any doubt about the game’s outcome.

“We walked in today feeling really con-fident,” Quinzani said. “I know the goal looked about as big as an ocean to me.”

Duke controlled the game by winning

SEE m. Lacrosse ON pAgE 13

by Scott RichTHE CHRONICLE

In a weekend overflowing with runs, it was, surprisingly, a virtuoso pitching performance that spurred Duke to a series-salvaging win.

Despite being blown out in their first two games against No. 15 Virginia Tech (36-16, 16-11 in the ACC), the Blue Devils bounced back on Sunday behind starter Dennis O’grady’s seven innings of one-run ball in an 11-7 victory.

The junior pitched 5.1 no-hit innings before allowing a one-out triple in the sixth inning.

“When you’ve given up 29 runs in two days it takes a certain kind of makeup to come out there and really attack the way Dennis did,” Duke head coach Sean Mc-Nally said. “The only thing that could shut him down on Sunday was a rain delay.”

O’grady also contributed at the plate Sunday, knocking in two runs and swip-ing a base, while junior Jake Lemmerman and senior Ryan McCurdy each amassed two RBI of their own. Duke (29-24, 8-19) led the contest 11-1 heading into the bot-tom of the eighth inning, but Christopher Manno and Michael Ness each allowed three runs in relief for the Blue Devils.

Duke certainly needed O’grady’s performance after the Blue Devil staff was hit around in the first two games of the weekend series. The Hokies took the first game of the series 11-3 after Duke starter Marcus Stroman allowed seven runs in 6.1 innings of work. Satur-day’s starter had no better fate, as Eric pfisterer allowed seven runs of his own in just 3.1 innings for the Blue Devils in an 18-8 Virginia Tech victory.

The Blue Devil bullpen provided no help, allowing 11 runs in those two games alone.

“We need to be better at the end of games,” McNally said. “We’ve been good in spurts, but certainly not consistent enough. We’ll need our bullpen to be sharper.”

Infielder Ronnie Shaban led the way for the Hokies with eight RBI in the first two games, including six in Saturday’s matchup.

Lemmerman, though, nearly single-handedly kept Duke competitive in the series, accounting for seven RBI over the weekend. The junior’s three-run homer in Friday’s game was the Blue Devils’ only scoring play of the night.

“[Lemmerman’s] really picked it up the second half of the season each of his three years, and you’re seeing it again this year,” McNally said. “He’s without question the best defensive shortstop in the conference and I think one of the best all-around players in the ACC.”

Duke will play N.C. State in its final ACC series starting this Thursday in a fi-nal attempt to earn its way into the ACC Tournament.

With eight minutes left to play Sunday, Duke watched as its chances of advancing to the second round of the NCAA tourna-ment grew slimmer.

With back-and-forth play the entire afternoon, the Blue Dev-ils trailed Vanderbilt 15-14 before tying up the game with less than one minute to play. Following a timeout called by head coach Kerstin Kimel with 19 seconds left, senior Lindsay gil-

bride scored a goal that hit the back of the net with just one second remaining on the clock. The goal gave Duke a dra-matic win that propelled it one step clos-er to its goal of winning the program’s

first national championship.“We ran the play for Lindsay gilbride, who was having a really

good day,” Kimel said. “It was a play we have in our repertoire that we use. It wasn’t executed perfectly, but it was executed

Devils face second day struggles in tourneyby Nicholas Schwartz

THE CHRONICLE

With finals in the rearview mirror, the Blue Devils spent the last few weeks prepar-ing for the NCAA Championship, which started Tuesday on the Dye Course at the Country Club of Landfall in Wilmington, N.C. playing in its 13th consecutive NCAA Championship, it’s safe to say that Duke had high expectations—and after a solid first day which left the Blue Devils tied for third, the team looked poised to challenge for what would be the program’s sixth na-tional championship.

After a second day struggle, however, which saw Duke post a 15-over par 303, the Blue Devils face an uphill climb to the top of the leaderboard, and are 21 strokes be-hind with only 36 holes remaining.

“We just never really got going,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “It was a slow start and it stayed slow.”

Duke did not come out of the gates firing Tuesday, and several players had to endure rough starts early in round one. Teeing off in the afternoon session on hole No. 10, the five Blue Devils played the first three holes at 6-over collectively. Though scores could have ballooned early on the back nine—which included five of the toughest nine holes on the course Tues-day, stroke average wise—Duke showed its characteristic resiliency approaching the turn. Each player birdied the 445-yard par-5 18th, giving the Blue Devils momentum approaching the front nine.

“We got off to a bad start, and we’ve had a bit of a tendency to get off to slow starts, but we brought it back,” Brooks said.

Kim Donovan, a junior who is coming off of a top-15 finish at the NCAA East Re-gional, led the charge over the final nine holes. Donovan carded a bogey-free front-nine 33 to give her an 18-hole score of 4-un-der, good for fourth-place after day one. Newly crowned ACC player and Rookie of the Year Lindy Duncan birdied the par-4 ninth to card an even-par round of 72, and fellow freshman Courtney Ellenbogen fired three birdies and five bogeys for an up-and-down day of 74.

“Kim was in the zone, and it’s fun to watch somebody in the zone,” Brooks said.

Donovan and the rest of the Blue Dev-ils would not be able to produce the same scores Wednesday however, as Duke, save for Ellenbogen’s 73, struggled across the board. Teeing off on the front nine, the Blue Devils faced the Dye Course’s signa-ture hole early in the round—a short 131-yard par-3 with a peninsula green guarded by water. No. 2 played as the toughest hole on the course Wednesday at .68 over-par, and the treacherous par-3 proved to be the undoing for Donovan, who posted a qua-druple-bogey seven en route to a 9-over par 81. Duncan faired similarly, with a bogey on the second and a six on the par-4 fifth, which led to a 4-over par 76 on the day.

“Mainly, they’ve just got to take it a shot at a time, and focus on execution instead of results [on the leaderboard],” Brooks said. “It’s doable. We’ve got two days, you make up ten or twelve shots a day…. Even at na-tionals you can do that,” Brooks said.

The Blue Devils now stand at 12th on the leaderboard, trailing leader USC by 21 strokes. A comeback of this propor-

tion is not unprecedented for this Duke team, though, and the Blue Devils can look to an early season victory at the very same Dye course in the NCAA Fall preview for motivation. Facing a 10-shot deficit to then-No.1 UCLA to begin the day, Duke, led by senior Alison Whita-

goalkeeper Kaitlin gaiss also contrib-uted to the victory, adding a save with less than one minute remaining that gave pos-session back to the Blue Devils and allowed gilbride to shoot.

Vanderbilt led the game early on, with its first goal coming just two minutes into the game. Both teams stayed head-to-head until an additional Duke goal halfway through the first half.

The Blue Devils continued with a 4-0 run late in the first half, but saw its 8-4 lead diminish quickly. The Commodores cut the lead to two with just over a minute left in the half, and used that momentum to their favor coming out of the locker room for the second half. They scored four straight goals in the new period’s first four minutes, before Duke retaliated with two goals of its own. Then, the Commo-

dores quickly went on a 5-1 streak to lead the game 15-13 with eight minutes left to play. It looked bad for the Blue Devils—that is, until gilbride’s shot.

In Duke’s Feb. 14 match-up against Van-derbilt in Nashville, the Blue Devils came away with a decisive 19-10 victory but were unable to create the same momentum for this game.

However, the team managed to pull through and will advance to the second round of the tournament, where it will face No. 2 Northwestern in an away contest Sat-urday. The Blue Devils hosted the then-No. 1 Wildcats at home earlier this season, los-ing 19-4.

Throughout the season, Kimel has em-phasized team cohesion and growing to-gether as a fairly young team, and despite what happens in Saturday’s game, she said she is proud of this year’s efforts.

“I really have to credit my staff and our senior class for really keeping the team down straight and narrow,” Kimel said. “This whole season, we’ve really been an unbelievable team; it’s just a testament to how hard they worked.”

18-of-27 faceoffs and picking up 37 ground balls to the Blue Jays’ 17. With almost constant possession, the Blue Devils were able to efficiently break down the Johns Hopkins’ 19th-ranked defense for the most goals it allowed this season.

Senior Ned Crotty (2 goals, 6 assists) and Quinzani (4 and 1) combined for 13 points, but it may have been Duke’s balanced attack that undid the Blue Jays. Ten Blue Devils scored at least once, while sev-en players generated 13 assists.

Crotty’s sixth assist Saturday pushed his total for the season to 57, breaking the Duke sin-gle season record of 56 set by Tewaaraton Trophy winner Matt Danowski. But Crotty was quick to credit his teammates for their roles in his record-setting day.

“Our middies did a great job of dodging hard and draw-ing double teams and making it so my defender would have to come off me,” Crotty said. “Once I got the ball, our offense was

so fluid recently and had such great movement.… We’ve re-ally meshed over the past three weeks, so finding guys has been really easy. The amount of trust we have on offense—being able to throw it to someone and have them catch it—is something that’s been huge for us.”

Junior Mike Rock got his second straight start in goal for Duke. Despite letting in all three of the shots he faced in the first quarter, he eventually settled down, collecting two saves and allowing only one more goal over the next two quarters before heading to the sideline with the victory al-ready secure. Rock, along with the Blue Devil defense, held the Blue Jays scoreless for an impressive 33 straight minutes, going from 11:00 left in the second to 7:29 in the fourth. Duke will need to continue its defensive efficiency Saturday, when it faces a high-scoring North Carolina team in the na-tional quarterfinals.

The blue Jays, who beat Duke by a single goal at each of the two teams’ last ncaa Tournament meetings, fell 18-5 Saturday.

by Shiva KothariTHE CHRONICLE

Duke stood in an all too familiar place, locked in a battle with its archrival North Carolina for the second time in just over a month.

The Blue Devils prevailed again—and this time, they didn’t even need any heroics from Reid Carleton. Duke, the No. 16 seed, beat the Tar Heels 4-1 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday to gain its first berth in the Sweet 16 since 2006.

The Blue Devils got to the second round by disman-tling VCU 4-0 Friday. Duke won the doubles point easily and got victories at the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 singles spots.

“Very clean efficient match,” head coach Ramsey Smith said. “A perfect first match of the tour-nament.”

North Carolina provided a tougher test. Winning the doubles point against the for-midable Tar Heels proved to be the most important fac-tor in the match.

“I think the doubles was the key today for sure,” Smith said. “They are extremely strong in doubles and the last time we lost the doubles point we barely squeaked out four singles matches. So we knew if we could win the doubles point we would be in [a] good position. It was one of our better dou-bles points and all three teams played exceptionally well.”

In the doubles, Henrique Cunha and Reid Carleton—the top-ranked pair in the country—won 8-4 while Torsten Wi-etoska and Dylan Arnould won 8-5, giving the Blue Devils the early lead. However, singles play was a completely different story with Duke down a set in four of its first six matches.

Close match experience and mental toughness, accord-ing to Smith, helped the Blue Devils to ultimately prevail.

“We really learned from a lot of matches earlier in the year,” Smith said. “And we won a lot of those close matches so we built up confidence throughout the year. We have battled adversity so when we get into tough situ-ations like losing four first sets we do an excellent job of staying composed and really buckling down for the first couple games of the second set.”

In the only two straight-set matches, freshman Luke Marchese beat Andrew Crone 6-3, 6-2 at the six No. 6 spot while Arnould lost in straight sets to Stefan Hardy, 7-5, 7-6 (3), at the No. 3 spot, making the match 2-1 midway through the day.

The other four matches went into third sets with soph-omore Wietoska earning the third point with a 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (3) victory against Brennan Boyajian, setting the stage for freshman phenom Cunha. The second-ranked player in the country and reigning ACC player and Freshman of the Year, Cunha came back to win in three sets—6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-4—against No. 43 Clay Donato to clinch the decisive point.

“I started playing really well, break up in the first set,” Cunha said. “I kind of lost my concentration a little bit and he took the first set…. I knew if I kept my level up and keep playing really strong and I could break him and I break through in the third set.”

Coach Ramsey Smith lauded Marchese and Cunha’s effort, not only in the match against the Tar Heels, but throughout the whole season.

“Henry [Cunha] and Luke [Marchese] have been great for us all season long, not just end of the season,” Smith said. [They] give us a lot of confidence going into the matches, pretty secure at those two spots. Certainly there are no guar-antees, but they have extraordinary records at their positions. particularly at the number one spot... [Cunha] has been ex-traordinary this year and [it was] really fitting [for him] to clinch the match this year in a really good player in Donato.”

Next up in the Sweet 16 Friday is Duke’s ACC rival and the No. 1 ranked team in the nation Virginia. After only losing one match all season, the Cavaliers cruised in the first two rounds, beating both Navy and Wake Forest 4-0. Duke has had a tough going with Virginia this season, los-ing in a 4-3 heartbreaker earlier in the year and suffering a 4-2 loss in the ACC tournament last month.

Cunha is excited and likes the Blue Devils’ chances against their formidable rival.

“We have a great chance,” he said. “They know it is going to be a hard game for both sides. I am excited [to play] them.”

The Blue Devils began their national championship defense in a dominant fashion this past weekend, bounc-ing back from last month’s disappointing early exit in the ACC Tournament.

No. 10 Duke defeated Long Is-land 4-0 and knocked off Virginia 4-1 in the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament, respec-tively, in Charlottesville, Va.

The Blue Devils needed to re-group after falling to Florida State in the first round of the conference tournament April 23. Duke had

blanked the Seminoles 4-0 just one week before in the regu-lar season but dropped four straight singles matches the sec-ond time around, losing 4-2 and failing to capture a second straight ACC championship.

A layoff of three weeks allowed the Blue Devils to put that defeat behind them and enter the NCAA tournament with a renewed focus.

“We stumbled in the first round of ACC’s and had to figure out what went wrong,” head coach Jamie Ash-worth said. “We talked about having to be competitive against each other in practice every day. We had to put ourselves in match situations. [The players] had to go at each other and use their teammates to get their sharp-ness back.”

These high-intensity practices paid off in the first round of the tournament last Friday, as Duke shut out Long Is-land and dropped only one game during the entire match. After the Blue Devils quickly picked up the doubles point, seniors Amanda granson and Elizabeth plotkin beat their opponents in unblemished straight sets at No. 4 and No. 2 singles, respectively. Sophomore Monica gorny was next off the court, giving Duke the win by picking up a 6-0, 6-1 victory at the No. 5 singles position.

Virginia provided tougher competition for the Blue

Devils Saturday, but the Cavaliers could not avenge the 5-2 loss that Duke dealt them in the regular season.

The Blue Devils got off to another superb start in dou-bles play, quieting the home crowd early on in the match. The No. 3 pair of plotkin and junior Reka Zsilinszka raced out to a 6-1 lead after 20 minutes of play, ultimately win-ning 8-2 for the duo’s eighth straight victory. The No. 1 tandem of granson and junior Ellah Nze locked up the doubles point for Duke soon after with an 8-3 result.

“All of the teams did a good job of communicating re-ally well,” Ashworth said. “We did a good job isolating their weaker players on each team, and that’s something we’ve struggled with a lot—making them beat us.”

Nze kept the momentum going at No.1 singles, build-ing a 4-1 lead in the first set that motivated the rest of the team, Ashworth said. Freshman Mary Clayton proceeded to make quick work of her opponent in straight sets at the No. 6 spot, staking Duke to a 2-0 lead.

After the Cavaliers drew within one point by picking up a win on court two, Nze finished off Lindsey Hard-enbergh 6-2, 6-3. Hardenbergh beat Nze during the regular season, but the Blue Devils’ top player made some adjustments to turn the tables in the rematch. Nze gave Hardenbergh little to work with throughout the contest by forcing her to return shots with her fore-hand—her weaker stroke.

granson sealed the victory over Virginia at the No. 4 slot, beating her competition in straight sets and racking up her team-best 31st win of the season.

Heading into the Sweet 16 against No. 7 UCLA Thurs-day at noon in Athens, ga., Duke is certainly playing better than it was almost a month ago against Florida State. In addition to physical ability, team unity will be one of the deciding factors in determining whether or not the Blue Devils can make it back to the Final Four.

“I don’t think we had the best six players last year, but we were the best team,” Ashworth said. “I think this team is coming into that now, thinking that, ‘If I lose, then some-one is going to be there to pick me up.’”

around unforeseen problems, such as accidents on the bus route.

Veraldi said that although the tracking system may not be a primary reason people will choose to use the bus, he hopes it may motivate some people to use it more often.

“We have commitments in our climate action plan to limit output of single occupant vehicles on campus,” Veraldi said.

The project will be funded by a $5,000 Student De-velopment Directive grant from Duke Student Govern-ment. DSG President Mike Lefevre, a senior, said he heard about the project shortly after it was proposed to Parking and Transportation and thought it was a viable candidate for the grant.

“The argument we’re always told is that [the] buses, they run on a schedule, so why would you need a bus tracking sys-tem?” Lefevre said. “But everybody knows they’re [late].”

Ball said the initiative’s primary expenses would be

the cost of the database and having the Office of Infor-mation Technology do server management. Parking and Transportation would cover all expenses that exceed the DSG donation, but a price estimate for the initiative still has not been set, Veraldi said.

“We didn’t go ask DSG for money, but it was real-ly neat that DSG was reaching out and saying this is something we’d like to invest in,” Veraldi said. “We’ve got groups that you think would never be collaborat-ing on a project like that. That’s pretty valuable to be able to do that.”

It is still unclear which website will host the new appli-cation, although it may eventually be integrated on Duke.edu, Ball said. He added that his team is hoping to find a way to post estimated arrival times on the website, as well.

In the future, the bus-tracking program may also be integrated into the Duke iPhone application, DukeMobile, Ball said. It may also be possible to link the system to other mobile devices via SMS, but that it is not something the group is working on at the mo-ment, he added.

with a summary of Duke’s primary financial challenges by Warren Grill, chair of the University Priorities Committee and Addy professor of biomedical engineering.

Grill said he emphasized compensation at the meeting, the strategic initiative funds and debt as the three major areas at Duke that need the most improvement.

Grill added that although this year’s retirement incen-tives have been successful, serving as “low hanging fruits” to close the financial gap, similar options may not be as effective in the future.

In other business: The council approved the creation of five new gradu-

ate and doctoral degree programs. The degrees include a Masters in Biostatistics, Master of Fine Arts, Master of Christian Studies, Master of Arts in Christian Practice and Doctor of Ministry.

Michael Gillespie, chair of the Athletic Council and Jerry G. and Patricia Crawford Hubbard professor of politi-cal science, discussed the performance of varsity athletes in the classroom and noted that progress is being made across all sports departments, Henriquez said this week.

Lynn Smith-Lovin, Robert L. Wilson professor of sociol-ogy and chair of the Academic Programs Committee, said she gave a presentation on the committee’s work through-out the year. She reviewed the eight degree programs ap-proved this year and the newly established Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the School of Medicine.

Plea from page 1

“[Griswould] is trying to show the court, his family and any other people that this was not in his character,” said Edward Falcone, Griswould’s attorney. “He has been trying to do what he can to rectify this.”

Since the incident, Griswould has enrolled at Chatta-hoochee Valley Community College and started working full-time at a Sears department store in Georgia, Falcone said.

Superior Court Judge David LaBarre acknowledged that the players have already suffered through a lot due to the incident, noting that each player’s athletic scholarship, valued at more than $200,000, is a “heavy price to lose for some stupid conduct.”

William Thomas, Putnam’s lawyer, also noted Put-nam’s strong academic record. In his first semester at Duke, Putnam had a 3.7 GPA and made the ACC honor roll, Thomas said.

Drew, a 315-pound defensive tackle, played in all 12 games his freshman season, recording 34 tackles. He was projected to start during the 2010 season.

Griswould, a running back, and Putnam, a defensive end, did not see playing time last season.

After the court session, James “Butch” Williams, Drew’s attorney, said the players are glad to be done with “this mess” and are attempting to enroll in other schools and continue their football careers.

In court, Williams said several universities have contact-ed Drew about transferring, although he would not specify which schools.

Although it is unclear whether Drew will enroll at an-other university, he has local ties to North Carolina Cen-tral University, where his brother Chris Drew was a line-backer last season.

Many of the players started doing community service im-mediately after the incident in anticipation of their sentence, which the judge accepted toward their total 140 hours.

Recent events on and around campus serve as impor-tant reminders that communi-cation between the University and the Duke community is an essential responsibility of the administration and the Duke University Police Department.

Specifically, the murder of Charlene King at a Duke Health Clinic on North Duke Street and the alleged sexual assault on Cen-tral Campus Friday morning are recent instances in which communication between the administration and the Duke community should have been clearer.

Although Durham Police deemed King’s murder to have likely been a targeted attack, students and other members of the Duke community—such as Duke University Health Sys-tem employees—should be aware of an act of violence in

close proximity to the hospital or campus. A DukeAlert, noti-fying the Duke community via text message and e-mail, could have warned the campus of the threat.

The alleged sexual as-sault on Cen-tral should have also been

more clearly conveyed to the community. As late as 6 p.m. Monday, it was unclear if the alleged assault was a one-time incident or a continuing threat to the University, ac-cording to DUPD Chief John Dailey in an interview.

Even if DUPD had deemed the incident a non-threat to the community, an e-mail from Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta or another administrator could have reminded students that these dangers do exist on Duke’s campus and that anonymous reporting is an option for

students who are reluctant to come forward.

The DukeAlert system al-lows students to subscribe to a text message alert system in addition to the e-mails sent to the entire commu-nity. According to the Duke University Emergency Status website, the University seeks to send alert messages within 30 minutes of officials being notified of an emergency.

This system could be used more frequently, however. The last time the entire student body received a DukeAlert through e-mail was Jan. 30 to announce that the severe weather policy for the University and the Duke University Health System was in effect. But the campus was not alerted to events like a stu-dent reporting being sexually assaulted on West Campus last November, three former foot-ball players firing shots from a car on East Campus in January

or DUPD officers fatally shoot-ing a man in front of the Duke University Hospital in March. Without checking the campus and local news sources, Duke community members would not know about these inci-dents, and they only learned about these, King’s murder and the alleged rape well after they were reported to officials.

The DukeAlert system should notify the community of any instances of gunfire, aggra-vated assault, rape, armed rob-bery and murder, especially if there is any indication that the incident poses a larger threat to the University community.

The federal Clery Act of 1990 requires universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to “provide time-ly warnings of crimes that rep-resent a threat to the safety of students or employees.” Duke would be wise to apply this principle a little more broadly

when deciding when to inform the community of incidents on or near campus.

Of course, it is unclear how much attention people pay to DukeAlerts or other emer-gency communications—if most even read them at all. The University should be sure not to expand the quantity of these messages so much that they desensitize the commu-nity to crime on campus and undermine the system’s effica-cy during major crises. In ad-dition, the administration and DUPD should take care not to incite an overblown sense of danger by reporting every in-stance of campus crime.

Overall, however, the Duke community would benefit from the expanded use of the DukeAlert system and more frequent communication from the administration con-cerning important on-campus incidents.

There are many things that distinguish China’s street etiquette from the U.S. equivalent: for exam-ple, China forbids honking except in the most ex-treme cases. In the U.S., there are no car horns to habituate to, nor are there so many people with so many voices. However, what is most distinctive about China is its smell.

Simply put, China smells differ-ent than America. It is a weird and completely overwhelming phe-nomenon that seems wholly inex-plicable in scientific terms. How can one country smell different from another? China and the U.S. are both vast countries with obvi-ously different, idiosyncratic odors in separate regions of each. The American Northeast smells of the sea, and the Midwest, dry cornfields. What is so distinctive between the two that, without opening my eyes, I can tell which country is which?

Let me explain. The smell of China carries a distinctive musk that is the combination of age and non-ammonia cleaning supplies. America, on the other hand, smells clean—literally, and not necessarily in a good way. Cleaning detergents are used almost ubiquitously in America, while relatively rare in China. In the States, the complex chemical combinations in cleaning agents destroy almost any endogenous smell of the environment, leaving only a hint of pine or lavender, or whatev-er oil extract the manufacturer had dropped into the mixture.

In every grocery store in America there is al-ways an entire row of cleaning supplies, each with bottles of 409 or Scrubbing Bubbles lined neatly on steel shelves. In China, there are no compa-rable brands; there is classic soap and there is liq-uid soap: no ammonia in sight. Such a difference in cleaning protocol has a dramatic effect on the resulting odor of each country.

The reason why the difference in odor between the two countries is so distinctive and apparent is because olfaction evokes strong emotional mem-ories. Biologically, the olfactory system is one of the few senses in the human body that has a di-rect connection to the part of the brain that is in charge of emotional memories, the amygdala.

The olfactory system’s mitral cells and olfactory

receptor neurons help send information about scents to the amygdala. This is the reason why the smell of cinnamon evokes more memories and emotions than just the smell of cinnamon. It also elicits memories of Christmas morning or the cin-

namon rolls after a Thanksgiving dinner. In comparison, few other sensory faculties call to mind a simi-lar distinctive memory. Hearing, for example, does not evoke as powerful memories as olfaction, or else, every single time we heard something we would be reliving the past.

To me, America smells like driv-ing alone down a road really fast with the wind in your hair; it is freedom. China smells like getting breakfast with my grandmother at

dawn in the street market just as it is beginning to bustle; it is nostalgia.

As a Chinese American, it is always difficult to distinguish between which part of my heritage is which. I have always wondered what I would have been like if I stayed with my grandmother and had gotten breakfast with her everyday at the street market. Would I still be as argumentative as I am today? Or would I be more pliable?

The distinction between my identity as both Chinese and American is even harder now that I am on a service project in China. I alternate spo-radically as needed between my personalities as a Duke student and another Chinese pedestrian on the street. I converse normally with the rest of my service group as I would on Duke’s campus, but the moment I turn to speak to a native or to translate something from English to Chinese, I be-come one of the more than 1.3 billion people who populate China.

Right now, the unique scent of China is corre-lated with a set of childhood memories. Once in a while, under the influence of a particular familiar waft of odor, memories of my childhood will rush me back in time. But memory is malleable. And soon, new memories will become associated with the scents of old: for better or for worse.

Hopefully for the better.

A week ago, I was introduced to Reese (I fought vigorously for Peyton, but the dog looks more like Reese’s than my favorite quar-terback), my brother and his girlfriend’s new puppy, and an animal primed to consume a bulk of my summer. She is adorable, and when she is not biting my ankle or peeing on my carpet, it is amazing to be in her presence (I would imagine this is how I’d feel around Oprah). During a very short amount of time, Reese has managed to bur-row into my heart and stay for good. Sounds silly, but I feel a connection.

I’m smitten. The dog has found a way to control my attention. Everything she does seems to be in a long journey for approval. She knows when she does bad things, and she curls up into a ball and gives her best puppy eyes. It works. It always works. She knows what she’s doing and is well-versed in getting me to give her whatever she wants.

Yet, love is a battlefield. She invokes her inner Usain Bolt (the pup must be infused with cheetah blood or something) when I want to rest, and passes out when I seem to gain enough energy to keep up with her. She kicks in her sleep and bites everything in her path. She thinks carpets are grass and that I should give into fads and begin wearing ripped jeans. She runs on her own schedule; she’s an independent woman in the Destiny’s Child sense of the word. It’s OK with me because I just love playing with her when I can.

People equate living with a puppy to having a toddler. As hesitant as I am to do this, I will admit that there are glaring similarities between the two. The dog needs my constant care and attention, as she is far too small to take care of herself. She also uses the bathroom nonstop, some of the less appealing features of raising something so small.

Why am I bothering you with all of this? Well I obviously love to talk about the little booger. She is a lot of fun, and I always advocate people adopting or buying pets if they can. But I also learned that there is a responsibility that comes with something this big. I am not raising a child, but the constant attention that I have to give the dog is something that I cannot learn in a classroom.

More importantly, though, is the impact this petite ani-mal has had in the past week. I often forget that the school of life and its trials and tribulations often offer more education than classes at Duke (though Math 103 may put up a fight for “most lessons learned in a short period of time”). Day after day, I am constantly accountable for this dog (Those as-tute readers will now argue that it is my brother’s dog, which is exactly why I am accountable. My brother is a somewhat hands-off parent). For the next three months, the dog’s well-being will largely depend on my ability to take care of it. Feeding, walking and taking it to the vet will all be my re-sponsibilities. Honestly, I would not have it any other way.

Reese and I will be growing together, and we will both learn about the other and adjust accordingly. It is a cute re-lationship, and we both realize how much we need the other. This relationship is completely foreign to me, and I find it exhilarating that I am learning on the job. So although one day I will not be so willing to play with the dog (that time will come when she is more than 70 pounds and will be able to do more than just gnaw on my fingers), I am thankful that she has come into my life. She has taught me that sometimes you cannot learn everything in a classroom setting, and sometimes a Duke education does not prepare you for everything.

It’s a dog’s life

In a recent May 12 interview with popular British music magazine NME, musical artist M.I.A. finally broke the silence surrounding her controversial new “Born Free” music video. The video, which depicts the systematic rounding up and execution of a group of red-haired adolescents, has been a subject of debate since its release April 26. Some cite the video as explicit and gratuitous in its vio-lence, while others champion it as an artis-tic expression of anti-genocide sentiment. M.I.A., for her part, did little to clarify her take on the video either way, using the in-terview instead as a jumping-off point for celebrity gossip-related humor.

Although relatively unimportant in it-self, the shots taken in that interview by M.I.A. were largely reminiscent of her comments in the April 7 issue of the same magazine. In that interview, M.I.A. lashed out unprovoked against Lady Gaga. She claimed that Gaga was “not progressive, but…a good mimic” in an apparent attempt to dismiss the popular notion that Gaga is trying to reinvent, or at least reinterpret, Ma-donna. M.I.A. also noted Gaga’s largely commercial ap-peal as a negative aspect of her persona, suggesting it necessary to her success.

Not everyone, however, agrees entirely with M.I.A.’s ideas, and Duke’s fastidiously pro-Gaga campus is no exception. In fact, it seems as though her conclusions here actually serve as little more than a starting point for conversation on the subject.

Paula Rosine Long, Trinity ’09 and a 2010 Gates Cambridge scholar, claims M.I.A. and Gaga as two of her top three favorite musical artists, and takes issue with a number of the former’s allegations.

First of all, Long acknowledges Gaga’s mass com-mercialism, but considers it in a different light than M.I.A. does.

“Who is in charge?” Long asked me when I sought her opinion on the subject via e-mail. “Is the commer-cial/media world appropriating this weird girl for its own ends, or is she using that world to bring her weird-ness to the masses?”

It’s certainly a difficult question to resolve from any perspective, and its answer most likely lies somewhere between the two poles: Gaga, on the one hand, embracing a consumerist branding in return for the dissemination of her image, and the industry on the other, promoting her eccentricity in exchange for returns on its investment. Or maybe it’s less of an either/or and more of a both/and, with the two possibilities being entirely valid, symbiotically coexistent

and mutually inexclusive. Either way, Long’s reading presents a set of variable multiplicities that contrast sharply with M.I.A.’s single, damning assessment.

In terms of the Gaga-Madonna corollary, neither “progressive” nor “mimic” are entirely apt character-izations of Gaga according to Long; she opts instead

for “homage,” explaining that Gaga “combines all these references”—to Madonna, Bowie, and Kubrick in her videos—“into a collage that is ul-timately HER work of art (or that of her team).” For Long, then, her works are more of a modern reference point against early influences than a rip-off of the past, and it’s the specific combi-nations of those references that give them a unique presence in contempo-rary society.

Katherine Buse, a rising Trinity se-nior, recognizes as well Gaga’s “pop-ified reworking of everything from science fiction to Madonna to 1970’s gay culture” and adds her own tint to the amalgama-tion. Buse suggests, in a 2009 paper written for English professor Tom Ferraro’s Bravura in American Writing class, that such a consistent and wide-reaching chan-neling of everything under the sun is to a certain ex-tent self-aware, and that its obvious excess becomes its purpose. To Buse, Gaga and her catalog are repre-sentative of our time: excessive, insatiable and out of control. If that’s the case, then most of M.I.A.’s com-ments about Lady Gaga couldn’t be more true, even if it would be unintentionally so. As far as that whole spat goes, though, Buse attributes it to nothing more than attention-seeking on the part of M.I.A.

M.I.A., then, seems to be missing the point. This isn’t necessarily shocking; after all, in that same April 7th NME interview she complains of Gaga’s “Tele-phone” video that, “Dude, she even plugs a burger!” mistaking the obvious Tarantino reference for the pure vapidity of a one-dimensional dollar-grab. Whether or not M.I.A. intended to touch so keenly on the afore-mentioned red herrings, however, is also kind of beside the point she may or may not be missing: in the end the inaccuracy of her charges pales next to the diverse conversation they inspire, giving all of us something to talk about for a little while. As for her, she’s a part of the something about which we’re all talking and, as we all know, the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.
