Trustees approve K4, tuition hikes

by Emmeline ZhaoTHE CHRONICLE

During its weekend meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the construction of a new dorm, discussed the University’s finan-cial state and raised the total cost of a Duke undergraduate education past the $50,000 mark for next year.

The Board approved a 3.9 percent in-crease in tuition, room and board for undergrad-uates, bumping the total cost of attending Duke up to $51,865 from $49,895. The new price includes a 4 percent increase in tuition to $38,985, which is $1,500 more than the current aca-demic year. It also ties in a 5.2 percent increase for all

dining plans, but whether that amount will be added as a fee or as additional food points is yet to be determined, said DSG President Awa Nur, a senior. Nur sits on the Board’s Business and Finance Committee.

“We’re not trying to close the budget deficit on the back of our students,” Presi-dent Richard Brodhead said. “There are things here that enrich the students, and that investment is reflected in the increase, but we also try to keep it as low as we can.”

Tuition increased by 3.9 percent last year and by 5 percent in 2008. Duke’s tuition hike comes at a time when peer institutions are raising their prices as well. The Univer-sity of North Carolina’s Board of Governors signed off on a 5.2 percent increase in un-dergraduate tuition Feb. 12, pending legis-lative approval. Yale University announced a 4.8 percent tuition increase Feb. 23, Stan-ford University has approved a 3.5 percent increase and Brown University will see a 4.9 percent jump.

Financial aid will not expand this year, but officials emphasized the University’s commitment to need-blind admissions. Board Chair and Democratic state Sen. Dan Blue, Law ’73, said that between 30 and 40 percent of the tuition increase will go toward funding financial aid.

University officials are also working to balance increases in revenue from tuition with budget cuts by the Duke Administra-tive Reform Team, Provost Peter Lange said. Duke has consistently stayed below the median in tuition hikes among its peer institutions, Lange added.

Panel wary of debt burden in recoveryby Taylor Doherty

THE CHRONICLE

A group of financial industry leaders gathered at the Fuqua School of Business Saturday to dissect the global economic cri-sis.

Following an introduction by Douglas Breeden, former dean of Fuqua and William W. Priest professor of finance, the panel of seven experts discussed the financial health of the American and global economies. Among the panelists were Board of Trustees members Alan Schwartz, Trinity ’72, David Rubenstein, Trinity ’70 and Bruce Karsh, Trinity ’77, each of whom has been at the helm of a major financial institution. Anthony Santomero, a se-nior adviser from McKinsey & Company, moderated the discus-sion.

The event attracted a crowd of more than 400, which gath-ered in the Geneen Auditorium at Fuqua Saturday afternoon. The discussion, “The Future of Lending, Credit and Leverage,” was the second in the school’s four-part series, titled “The Future of Capitalism.”

Panel members discussed the causes and implications of the financial crisis.

Reception honors chaplain Antepli

by Sanette TanakaTHE CHRONICLE

Duke’s Muslim chaplain Abdullah Antepli will give the open-ing prayer for the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., this Wednesday at 10 a.m.

The prayer is sponsored by Rep. David Price, D-N.C. An inti-mate reception was held Friday in the Divinity School to honor Antepli.

“This invitation is not just to me, but to Duke University in appreciation of its success in understanding diversity and look-ing toward the future and not the past,” Antepli said. “I am so humbled to be part of this.”

Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta called the invitation a “booster shot” for Duke’s ongoing mission of building a sense of understanding and community among Muslim students.

“Although never intentional or mean-spirited, estrangement, alienation and intimidation can happen on campus, but the ap-pearance of a Muslim imam in Congress will lift the heavy bur-dens in the hearts and minds of Muslims,” Antepli said. “We know that we are heard, respected, appreciated and acknowledged.”

The practice of opening the House in prayer began in 1774

Challenge awards students for healthy lifestyles

by Caitlin GuentherTHE CHRONICLE

Duke’s campus is just a little bit healthier this year, thanks to the first annual Prospective Health Challenge.

Friday afternoon marked the end of the Prospective Health Challenge, a year-long competition developed by the Duke Prospective Health Care Club in which stu-dents and employees teamed up to improve their health and take greater responsibility for their lifestyles. Teams earned points toward the challenge by maintaining or making improvements in areas such as weight, blood pres-sure, cholesterol, diet and exercise. At the awards ceremo-ny Friday, senior Kevin Chen and sophomore Nancy Yang, DPHCC co-chairs, reviewed the challenge and announced the eight winners of this year’s competition.

This year, junior Justine Tiu and Layne Baker, visitor and university relations specialist for Duke Chapel, took the grand prize for best team. Sophomore Nari Sohn and fresh-man Christine Wu won as the top individual students, and Nicole Greeson, Occupational and Environmental Safety Offices employee, and Housekeeping Supervisor Keith Wooten, achieved the top spots for individual employees.

“I lost a lot of weight,” Sohn said. “I think I am eat-ing more healthily, and I’m exercising more regularly. Because I am doing that, it makes me feel healthier and better about myself.”

Participants used an electronic point system to re-port each week how well they had met their health goals, and points were awarded and totaled each month to determine the winners. Top scorers received prizes such as tickets to the Duke-UNC basketball game and gift certificates to Northgate Mall.

Chile steps up rescue in remote cities

by Jonathan Franklin and Jeffrey SmithTHE WASHINGTON POST

SANTIAGO, Chile — After experiencing one of the most powerful earthquakes to strike the earth in more than a century, Chileans accelerated their rescue, aid and security efforts in damaged regions Sunday but also took pride in the comparatively low death toll, a result widely attributed to the country’s meticulous planning and preparation.

The Chilean government dispatched troops to keep order in the hard-hit city of Concepcion, and President Michelle Bachelet opened the door to international aid a day after saying that “we generally do not ask for help.” Her remarks came after a lengthy meeting with advisers convinced her, she said, that the country faces “a catastro-phe of such unthinkable magnitude that it will require a giant effort to recover.” Experts said repairs will take years and will probably cost tens of billions of dollars.

While the death toll rose steadily to more than 700, ac-

cording to a midday estimate, it remained a small fraction of the tally from a far less powerful earthquake last month in Haiti that claimed at least 220,000 lives. That temblor was more shallow and much closer to a large population center, the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince. But the deaths there were mostly because of widespread building collaps-es, which Chilean cities did not experience.

Earthquake scientists, building engineers and political scientists in Chile and the United States agreed that even though half a million homes were heavily damaged during more than 120 seconds of shaking, the fact that so many Chileans survived was a testament to the nation’s enact-ment and enforcement of stringent building codes.

“We would have expected that an 8.8 earthquake would have done a lot more damage,” said Paul Caruso, a geophysicist with the National Earthquake Informa-tion Center in Golden, Colo. “The people in Chile have experience with earthquakes that saved hundreds if not thousands of lives.”

with the first Continental Congress. Each member of con-gress can recommend one religious leader per session. The representative gives a short speech to introduce the guest chaplain, who then delivers the opening prayer of about 150 words. After submitting four drafts to Congress for approval last week, Antepli condensed his prayer from 275 to 188 words.

“I want the prayer to be as rich and meaningful as possible, which is a challenge in 150 words,” he said. “I will be praying primarily for Congress because the deci-sions made under that roof affect the whole world. I will pray to God Almighty to grant the members success in what they do.”

Antepli added that he believes in the divine power of prayer to spark change in society.

“Symbolically, prayer acknowledges that we can do ev-erything we can, but at the end, there is a limit to man’s ability to achieve without divine help,” he said.

Antepli will stay in Washington, D.C. from Monday to Friday, conducting interviews with the media and meeting with think tank organizations to discuss Islam in higher education. As a Turkish, Sunni Muslim, Antepli became the first full-time imam at Duke in July 2008. He played an integral role in establishing the Center for Muslim Life later that year. He also teaches Islamic courses in the Divin-ity School, supervises the Muslim Student Association and leads the Faith Council of the Duke Chapel.

“Abdullah has a lot of energy and is pulled in many di-rections, but he makes it seem effortless,” said Zoila Airall, assistant vice president for student affairs. “I always remind him, ‘Abdullah, Rome was not built in a day,’ to make sure he tempers his efforts.”

Co-President of MSA Nabila Haque, a junior, said An-tepli has been instrumental in uniting the 500 Muslims on campus, who all subscribe to varying beliefs. MSA holds three to four events per week—including study circles, Quran discussions and weekly meetings—that cater to both liberal and conservative Muslims.

“I’ve seen the evolution of MSA while I’ve been here, and it’s become much more organized, established and nonjudgmental,” said Sarah Zubairy, a fifth-year graduate student in economics. “Abdullah is a representative who can speak on our behalf, but he is very interfaith.”

Antepli and MSA have focused on civic engagement and outreach this year. Besides reaching out to Muslim stu-dents, Antepli has made efforts to connect with the entire student body, said Fatema Ahmad, Pratt ’09 and a former president of MSA. She added that he fosters awareness and understanding about Islam and its teachings without being overbearing.

“Given the mischaracterization of the Muslim commu-nity based on the acts of extremists, it must be very hard sometimes to be publicly recognized as Muslim,” Moneta said. “Abdullah has been able to demonstrate how gener-ous, loving and gentle the Muslim community really is.”

ANTEPlI from page 1

Challenge hosted events such as a five-kilometer run/walk. At the ceremony, Libby Gulley, nurse manager for Live for Life, Duke’s employee health promotion program, and Amy Eller, the marketing team leader for Durham Whole Foods, offered their congratulations to the participants for completing these events and to the club for organizing the challenge. They also shared tips about how to continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

“This is such an ambitious program, and it resulted in an amazing first effort,” Gulley said. “The whole time, we kept thinking, ‘I can’t believe they are going to pull this off.’ But they did.”

Initially, 100 participants signed up for the challenge, and although approximately 15 to 20 regularly participated by the end of the year, those who completed the challenge feel like they have made lasting changes to their health habits.

Most participants felt that the challenge was successful overall, a sentiment echoed by Chen and Yang, although they still had their ups and downs.

“We have not quite had the level of participation we were aiming for,” Chen said. “There are a lot of things we are going to do to change it for next year. But even so, we have definitely had a lot of success stories in terms of im-proving people’s health.”

The DPHCC is already organizing next year’s challenge, which it hopes to start in the Fall.

“We are working with a lot of different technologies to make it more fun and interactive for next year,” Chen said. “We are also going to plan a lot more events to go along with the challenge.”

Are you planning to take courses at Duke this summer?

by Tom GierynTHE CHRONICLE

CHAPEL HILL — Free throws are the one predictable thing in a basketball game. You know just where you’ll have to stand. You know the defenders can do nothing but watch from a distance. It’s just you, a basketball and a basket. You’ve done this since you were old enough to hold a bas-ketball, and nary a practice has gone by that you didn’t shoot a free throw.

It ought to be easy. But with several thousand hostile fans and 30 years of ri-valry breathing down your neck, suddenly things get a bit more complex.

No. 6 Duke’s inability to convert from the free-throw line proved to be its undoing in a 64-54 loss to North Carolina (18-10, 6-8 in the ACC) at Carmichael Arena Sunday.

With 13:03 left in the second half, Jasmine Thomas missed two free throws after Tar Heel freshman Cierra Robert-son-Warren was ejected for a flagrant foul. The Blue Devils proceeded to miss four more free throws in the next 20 sec-onds, preventing Duke from extending its three-point lead.

“I thought we were playing pretty good basketball up to that point,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “We were taking command in a good way, then shot a bunch of free throws, didn’t hit any of them and didn’t get as much of a cushion.”

“Jasmine missed that first one…. Then our

fans got into it, and they missed six in a row, so I guess all of us were like, ‘Let’s go,’” North Carolina guard Cetera DeGraffenreid said.

Held to just four points and no field goals at that juncture, DeGraffenreid ex-ploded in the final 13 minutes, outscoring the entire Duke team 18-13.

On senior night in Cameron Indoor Sta-dium, it was freshman Allison Vernerey who took over the game in the second half to help No. 6 Duke clinch the ACC regular season title with a win over No. 18 Virginia, 83-65.

“This team has been working hard since summer,” head coach Joanne P. Mc-Callie said. “Everyone has done their part. They’ve been steady and consistent…. It’s always special to capture championships—that’s what it’s all about.”

Seniors Joy Cheek, Bridgette Mitchell and Keturah Jackson were honored be-fore the game with their families. In her final regular season home contest, Cheek was an integral part of the win. She hit a jump shot almost immediately after the tip and led the Duke offense in the first half with eight points. However, apart from Cheek, the Blue Devils could not find an offensive rhythm in the first half and had trouble scoring points in the paint.

Both Virginia (21-8, 9-5 in the ACC) and Duke (24-5, 12-2) made it difficult for their opponent to score, forcing one another to take ugly shots, make bad passes and commit shot clock violations. The Blue Devils were focused on shutting down Monica Wright, who came in averag-ing 22.7 points per game, but she quietly accumulated 15 in the first half. Wright finished with 27 to lead all scorers.

“For the games I’ve seen [Wright] play this year, she’s played the whole game, played the overtimes and she really doesn’t come out that much,” junior Jasmine Thomas said. “She plays hard to the last second. I think that’s what you see reflect-ed in her game, how hard she works.”

The Blue Devils came out in the second half with a new energy, as Vernerey took control in the paint and tallied 11 points in the period. The freshman went 8-of-8

The new-look, younger Blue Devils had the opportu-nity to write a new chapter in their rivalry against the Ter-rapins, one that Maryland has dominated in recent years.

The Terrapins narrowly defeated Duke twice last sea-son in heartbreaking fashion, including a 12-11 win in the 2009 ACC championship game.

Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, No. 2 Maryland (3-0, 1-0 in the ACC) continued its dominance over its conference foe.

The Terrapins easily coasted to a 17-4 victory over No. 5 Duke (4-1, 0-1) at Koskinen Stadium Saturday in both teams’ ACC opener. Maryland jumped out to an early

4-0 lead and did not look back for the rest of the afternoon. Satur-day’s lopsided loss was not, how-ever, indicative of the Blue Devils’ play from their first four games.

“The hard thing for me to wrap my head around today is we really did not execute and Maryland clearly did. They didn’t do a whole lot wrong on the field,” head coach Ker-stin Kimel said. “We made mistakes that we haven’t been making, and you just can’t do that against Maryland. They made us pay for just about every mistake.”

Duke appeared to briefly regain momentum when junior midfielder Sarah Bullard netted a goal at 10:51 to put the Blue Devils on the scoreboard and trim the deficit to three, but Maryland freshman Katie Schwarzmann

Late rally sends Duke past Penn

DUKE 16

PENN 11

by Danny VinikTHE CHRONICLE

After a disappointing loss to Notre Dame last weekend, Duke needed a strong performance from senior Max Quin-zani to avoid the team’s second straight defeat.

Duke trailed Pennsylvania 4-1 after the first quarter and 7-4 at halftime before outscoring the Quakers 12-4 in the final 30 minutes to earn a 16-11 victory. The No. 8 Blue Devils (2-1) en-tered the fourth quarter down a goal, but two quick strikes by Josh Offit and a man-up goal by Jonathan Livadas gave the Blue Devils an 11-9 lead. Penn (0-1) refused to give up, though, and

the Quakers rallied for two goals to tie the game at 11 before Duke scored the final five goals of the game to get the victory Saturday at Koskinen Stadium.

Quinzani led the way for the Blue Devils with six goals and two assists, including three goals in 62 seconds near the end of the fourth quarter. Quin-zani’s scoring spurt began with Duke up just a single tally, 12-11, and his late play secured the victory.

“I only remember the first three,” Quinzani said of his six-goal haul. “Really, I couldn’t tell you what happened there. I went unconscious.”

“[Max is] just a tough-minded individual,” head coach John Danowski said. “I was really happy for him. He’s a se-nior, and seniors are supposed to be making those plays.”

For the third game in a row, Duke found itself trailing at halftime, but the team refused to let the slow start affect its performance.

“It’s a 60-minute game,” Danowski said. “You just have got to keep playing, keep hustling. When things aren’t go-ing your way, you just have to get back to your fundamen-tals, whether on offense it’s ball possession and ground balls or defensively individual technique on the ball. I thought our kids did a great job of just continuing to play hard. Nobody was freaking out—no yelling or gnashing of teeth or anything.”

So far this season, every game has been a nail-biter for the Blue Devils. Duke won the season opener in overtime

against then-No. 19 Bucknell and lost to current No. 3 Notre Dame by four goals last weekend. Saturday proved no different for Danowski’s squad, which is becoming more and more comfortable in tight situations.

“[The close games are] great,” Danowski said. “It is what it is. These are the games that you figure out what kind of team you’re going to become. No matter what you do in practice, it is not like a game. Once you put the uniforms on, and there are officials and the other team, and Mom and Dad are in town and your girlfriend perhaps, it’s different. You have to learn how to play with all those distractions.”

Duke will face a lot more distractions when it hits the road for the first time this season. The Blue Devils travel to Baltimore next Saturday to take on No. 6 Maryland in the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic.

by Caroline FairchildTHE CHRONICLE

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Kyle Singler and Jon Scheyer combined for 41 points Sunday, pro-pelling No. 5 Duke past undermanned Virginia 67-49 at John Paul Jones Arena.

The Cavaliers (14-13, 5-9 in the ACC) were put at an immediate disadvantage before the tip as Sylven Landesberg, their leading scorer, was un-able to play because of injuries sustained in a pre-vious game against Miami. The star guard, who is the active career leading scorer in the ACC at 17.0 points per game, usually leads the Cavalier offense single-handedly. The sophomore suffered a deep leg bruise that affected his range of mo-tion to the point that head coach Tony Bennett refused to let him play. Landesberg’s absence vis-ibly crippled the Virginia offense, and Duke held the Cavaliers to a season-low 49 points.

“We didn’t really find out he wasn’t playing un-til the beginning of the game,” Singler said. “Our mindset really didn’t change that much, though, because we knew how important this game was for us in terms of momentum.”

The Blue Devils (25-4, 12-2) took control early on with a 20-4 run to start the game. Singler set

a determined example for Duke—scoring five points in the first four minutes—and dove into the stands on top of a horde of Virginia fans after a loose ball. Singler had 11 points before the Cav-aliers managed even two field goals, and Virginia would never get closer than 10 points for the rest of the contest. In total, Singler torched Virginia for 15 of his 21 points in the first half, shooting 80 percent in the period.

The rest of the Blue Devils, though not nearly as hot as Singler, shot 42 percent in the half and held the Cavaliers to just 32 percent. Virginia failed to post a single 3-point shot in the first eight minutes of the game and posed little of an offen-sive obstacle all night for Duke.

“It was a great team win,” Singler said. “Individ-ually, I thought I got some free throws and open shots and we played well all together.”

The second half opened up with a strong per-formance by Scheyer. The senior point guard buried two 3-point shots in the first four minutes and continued to score consistently throughout the half. The perfect compliment to Singler’s first half, Scheyer scored 13 of his 20 points in the sec-ond half and shot 83 percent from the field.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — With two minutes gone since Duke’s last field goal, Virginia cut the Blue Devils’ lead to 17 points, setting up the team’s last hope for a comeback. Jon Scheyer made sure that didn’t happen.

With 12:33 remaining, the Blue Devil senior tipped the ball away from Mike Scott and into the Virginia backcourt. Scott slowly me-andered after the ball while Scheyer dove for it and passed it off to Andre Dawkins, who dished it to a wide-open Mason Plumlee for an

easy two. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski jumped off the bench and motioned upwards with his hands as if trying to bring the crowd to life. In this case, he was both praising his senior’s play and urging his team to raise its defensive inten-sity even higher.

“That was a big-time play,” Krzyzewski said. “You need that. That kid [Scheyer] has probably played the best for us all year and Mason fin-ishes and you get excited when you see your guys making those plays.”

Scheyer echoed his coach’s sentiments.“That’s just a play that I would make at any point in the game,

whether it’s a 20-point game or a two-point game,” Scheyer said. “That’s just something that coach has always talked about—play-ing a loose ball is just as big as scoring a bucket. That type of play is a play I love to make.”

On the ensuing Duke possession, Scheyer dashed through the lane

and hit an off-balance layup to put Duke up 21 with 11:43 remaining in the game. As Scheyer turned up the court, he energetically swung his arm in a windmill motion, fists clenched. The yells from the bench boomed throughout the subdued John Paul Jones Arena.

“When you are playing in an opposing stadium, you want it to be quiet like that,” Scheyer said. “That was a good sign for us.”

The emotion was clear. After three subpar performances from Scheyer against Miami, Virginia Tech and Tulsa—in which he shot just 24 percent from the field—the senior was in early-season form. It took 20 minutes for the co-captain to get going, but Scheyer may have revealed the pent-up frustration from his recent run of poor play. Scheyer scored seven points in first half, but the guard erupted in the second, making five of his six shots, including all three from long range.

Krzyzewski gave Scheyer a breather with 9:23 remaining in the game and the Blue Devils leading 54-29. The guard re-en-tered the contest nearly three minutes later with Duke leading by 22 points. After two free throws by junior Kyle Singler and a layup by Virginia forward Jerome Meyinsse, Scheyer earned an easy layup and drained one final three to send the last of the Cavalier fans home.

Scheyer exited the contest for good with just over four min-utes remaining and watched from the bench as his lesser-used teammates finished off the game. Scheyer’s expression on the bench, a big grin, displayed what his second-half performance showed: He’s back.

Game Analysis

a determined example for Duke—scoring five points in the first four minutes—and dove into the stands on top of a horde of Virginia fans after a loose ball. Singler had 11 points before the Cav-aliers managed even two field goals, and Virginia would never get closer than 10 points for the rest of the contest. In total, Singler torched Virginia for 15 of his 21 points in the first half, shooting 80 percent in the period.

The perfect compliment to Singler’s first half, Scheyer scored 13 of his 20 points in the sec-ond half and shot 83 percent from the field.

An energized Mason Plumlee was the third

leading scorer for the night, posting six points, four rebounds and two assists.

On a night when everything came easy on the offensive end, head coach Mike Krzyzewski was most impressed with his team’s defensive effort.

Krzyzewski said that he always warns his team to be wary of the mentality that a game is going to be easy when a top player is injured. The Blue Devils responded well to their coach’s advice and denied any opportunities for Virginia to go on an offen-sive run. The only standout performance from the Cavaliers came from senior forward Jerome Meyin-sse, who scored a career-high 21 points—the only Virginia player to score in double figures.

“They have kids who can really shoot the ball, who haven’t been shooting that well [re-cently], but have during the season,” Krzyzewski said. “So I thought defensively we did a nice job against them and had a kind of a workmanlike performance.”

With the victory Sunday, Duke extended its winning streak to eight games going into Wednes-day’s matchup against Maryland in College Park, Md. The Blue Devils have a one-game lead over the Terrapins in the conference, making the game a battle for the regular season crown.

In its first road contest of the spring season, Duke was no match for the No. 9 Gators, who recorded their 74th consecutive regular season home victory over the No. 6 Blue Devils Sunday, 7-0.

Florida (9-2) stormed out of the gate at Linder Sta-dium in Gainesville, Fla, and never looked back. The No. 3 doubles tandem of Marritt Boonstra and Allie Will easily defeated Duke’s top pair of Amanda Gran-

son and Ellah Nze, 8-3. The Ga-tors then pulled an upset at No. 2 doubles, defeating the No. 24 pair of Elizabeth Plotkin and Reka Zsilinszka 8-4, and secur-

ing the doubles point for Florida. Singles play followed a similar tenor. The Gators

quickly built leads on nearly every court and took the first set in every match but No. 5 singles. The Blue Dev-ils (10-2) battled back but had little success.

Zsilinskza, Duke’s highest-ranked singles player, didn’t win a single game in her first set and fell in a tiebreaker to Boonstra in the second to lose in straight sets. Plotkin, who had been undefeated in 11 matches, dropped her first result of the season to 10th-ranked Will, 6-1, 6-1.

Sophomore Monica Gorny had an opportunity to score Duke’s first point of the match after winning her first set against No. 86 Caroline Hitimana. However, Hitimana took the second set and won the 10-point tie-breaker third set to give the Gators a clean sweep.

The Blue Devils have a break before resuming play in Puerto Rico March 11 against William and Mary.

Duke made sure to keep its new home at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park tidy over the weekend, sweeping Fordham in dominating fashion. The Blue Devils (4-3) eked by the Rams (0-6) Friday, 5-4, but used big innings to dispatch Fordham 11-4 and 8-3 in the next two contests.

“It’s great for us to get in this ballpark and get comfort-able playing here,” Duke head coach Sean McNally said. “It certainly exceeded our expectations. It was a fun week-end to be down here and to win three games and really

generate some momentum.”Fordham almost stole the show

in the series opener. Trailing 4-3 go-ing into the ninth inning, the Rams’ designated hitter, Chris Walker, tat-tooed an RBI double off the center field wall to even the score.

In the bottom of the frame, a Jake Lemmerman single and a Ford-ham fielding error helped Duke get runners on first and second with two outs. And in the Blue Devils’ last

chance, Dennis O’Grady lined a single to right field, sending Lemmerman sliding across the plate for the win.

“I was just trying to put the ball in play,” O’Grady said. “With two outs, I knew if I got a hit Jake would score.”

On Saturday, Duke left nothing in doubt from the start. The Blue Devils exploded for eight runs in the first two innings and never looked back, cruising to an 11-4 victory. Will Piwnica-Worms drove in four and scored three times and Gabriel Saade added three hits and two RBIs. O’Grady and Christopher Manno combined for four innings of scoreless relief to keep the Rams’ bats at bay.

In the series finale, Duke’s offense came alive in the

sixth inning, batting around the order to post five runs and four hits. Senior Jeremy Gould blasted an RBI double high off the Blue Monster in left field and was quickly brought around by Piwnica-Worms’s triple off the right field wall. Saade’s home run to right in the eighth put an end to any hopes Fordham had of coming back.

“We had a couple of good innings,” McNally said. “We’d like to be more consistent out there, but I like the way our guys kept competing and found a way to get to their starter today. We’ll need all hands on deck all year.”

from the field, bringing her point total on the night to 17. Virginia head coach Debbie Ryan called her the difference-maker Friday.

“She gave them separation and that just fu-eled their defense,” Ryan said. “They were like swarming sharks in water.”

Vernerey’s dominance down low opened up the perimeter for Jasmine Thomas. After hitting only two shots in the first half, Thomas scored 16 points in the second, including three clutch threes. Junior Krystal Thomas notched nine points after halftime and led the Blue Dev-ils with nine rebounds.

With unrelenting defense and a more bal-anced scoring attack, Duke led Virginia by 20 for much of the final 10 minutes.

“I told them that this second half was the worst half of basketball we’ve had all year,” Ryan said. “It was so bad, it was so beyond one of the worst that I told them just to forget it because there is nothing that’s going to change what happened in the second half tonight.”

in her senior game, Joy Cheek scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting in Duke’s 83-65 victory over Virginia Friday.

responded a minute later with a score on a free position shot. Schwarzmann proceeded to post one more goal in the first half as she led her team to a 9-1 advantage at the intermission.

The Blue Devils did not fare any bet-ter in the second period, and the Terra-pins continued their dominance on the attack. Even though Bullard added two more goals and Duke did make some encouraging defensive stops, it is diffi-cult to highlight any one player’s per-formance in such a tough loss.

On a more positive note, playing against a team as strong as Maryland did give the young Blue Devil squad some more experience against high-caliber competition.

“We have a lot of experience under our belt for just being in February,”

Kimel said. “We have played both na-tional teams and a lot of good oppo-nents up to this point. I felt we were really ready going into the Maryland game and unfortunately that didn’t show on the field.”

Kimel’s squad played like a complete-ly different team Saturday compared to earlier in the season. Duke did not ex-ecute nor develop a solid rhythm. The Blue Devils’ usually high-paced attack had posted more than 16 goals in each of its first four games and had not allowed more than 10 scores in any contest, but both streaks were broken Saturday.

“Any time you play a great team like Maryland, you use it as a good measuring stick, whether you win or lose,” Kimel said. “Clearly, we have a lot of growing to do from here and this is hopefully one of those games where we watch the film, learn a lot and then throw it away.”

W. LAx from page 7

She added four steals in the second half as well, each of which seemed to come just as the Blue Devils (24-5, 12-2) were about to get their act together. Duke had no answer for DeGraffen-reid’s quickness and confidence, and the Blue Devils played the final six min-utes of the game without scoring a field goal. Duke had just four free throws to show for its efforts.

“[She] took us on her back when we needed it and led the team,” North Car-olina head coach Sylvia Hatchell said of DeGraffenreid.

The Blue Devils could not shake ball control woes for much of the game, committing 22 turnovers. This, along with physical play—both teams were in the double-bonus with over eight minutes to go in the second half—kept the team from establish-ing a flow on offense. Duke looked as though it might snap out of its funk coming out of halftime, as Bridgette Mitchell and Joy Cheek keyed a 15-4 run to put Duke up 41-34.

But the run could not erase an abysmal 26.8 percent shooting performance for the night. Despite taking 25 more shots than their opponents, the Blue Devils tallied just one more field goal. Many of Duke’s misses came from behind the arc, as they sank just three of their 22 3-point attempts. The Blue Devils did force 30 turnovers, but to no avail.

“This game was bizarre,” McCallie said. “In 18 years of coaching, I’ve never been involved in a game quite like this before, so for us, it’s a great lesson.”

But if the Blue Devils are going to capitalize on that lesson, they’ll need to make some free throws.

For the past nine months, Dining Services officials and Duke Student Government representatives have been tirelessly negotiating to close Dining’s $2.2 million budget shortfall creat-ed by the Uni-versity’s living wage requirement and the recent switch to Bon Appetit. In years past, central admin-istration covered the deficit, but in the wake of the larger financial crisis, it is cutting its subsidy.

Forging an agreement between students and ad-ministrators to close this deficit has been no easy task. An initial plan for “di-rected choice” to divert rev-enue into Bon Appetit-run dining venues was scrapped, and DSG President Awa Nur

has countered Dining’s of-fer with a plan to increase the current $19.50 dining contract fee by $100.

As of last week, the din-ing fee increase was still up

for discussion and had yet to be finalized by

student leaders and adminis-trators. But in light of actions taken by the Board of Trust-ees this weekend, the debate has quickly been cut short.

As part of its move to in-crease tuition and fees by 3.9 percent, the Board of Trustees also approved a 5.2 percent hike in the price of all dining plans. The Board did not stipulate how the in-crease in revenue will be allo-cated, but it is likely that the money will go to University coffers and will not bump up

the number of food points students receive.

Closing the deficit by in-creasing the price of dining contracts is not a desirable option for students. But giv-en budgetary constraints, it is the easiest pill to swallow among the several options that have been considered.

Although directed choice would have allowed students to change their dining habits rather than pay more overall for their dining plan, it would elimi-nate choice and potentially could lead to stratification among dining options, with students who are pinching pennies forced to dine only in certain venues.

An across-the-board tax on purchases at non-Bon Ap-petit vendors would also be

misguided. This would have harmed the profitability of contracted dining venues and diminished the incen-tive for off-campus students to buy into the dining plan or eat on campus.

Unfortunately, a dining fee increase is the best op-tion. A flat fee increase will not prolong the pain for stu-dents and will not force them to change everyday dining habits. In addition, the in-crease would be covered by financial aid, so most stu-dents who cannot afford to pay it will receive assistance from the University.

That said, it is disconcert-ing that the Trustees defini-tively raised the cost of din-ing plans before the deficit discussion had reached its conclusion. It is disingenu-

ous to engage with students and then ultimately dismiss their input.

It is also concerning that students have been targeted to shoulder the burden for reducing Dining’s deficit. Over the past decade, the University has created an unsustainable, poorly man-aged dining system. Now that the problem has come to the fore, it is unfair simply to pass the costs on to students.

A one-time fee increase—however necessary in the short run—is a stop-gap so-lution. Instead of continual-ly hiking prices for students, the University must make fundamental adjustments to ensure that in the long run, Dining is both fiscally responsible and financially soluble.

Walking down Main West a few weeks ago, I saw a sign that advertised Hep-atitis B awareness, stating that one in

every four people who contracted HBV would die. I thought to myself, “Holy smokes, we really do need to raise awareness for this. Seventy-five percent of peo-ple who get this disease become immortal! What a technological breakthrough!”

This train of thought quickly led to my think-ing about secret agents and their supposed im-mortality. He’s gone through four decades, six actors and even more hairstyles, but James Bond has gotten more physically fit with age. The man is a champion of charm, with his scintillatingly smooth stares.

I’m not cool enough to introduce myself say-ing my last name followed by my full name, but I’ve picked up some other Bond techniques dur-ing my time on this silly little planet, like how to be suave and pick up the ladies. Shoulder into the stomach and arms around the waist are pretty effective. As Borat would say, “Agreement not necessary.”

I don’t have anything against being awkward. I really think it’s great. You learn from your mis-takes, and that’s why I think the more awkward you’ve been, the more keen to social norms you can become. I’ll give you a few pointers I’ve picked up over the years.

I now know you should never turn a funeral into a drinking game. Yelling “Drink!” after ev-ery time the preacher says “life” gets you a lotta looks. At the very next funeral, I discovered that you also should not pregame. That’s apparently not something people do anymore. I thought it was supposed to be a celebration. I guess these people and I celebrate a little differently.… What a waste of a handle of Jack.

I’m having it written into my will that my funeral is not allowed to start until everybody

blows at least a 0.08. People better say, “Man, that joker throws a mean party, even from the grave.” I don’t want anybody to remember my funeral, but I do want them to remember not remembering it. That’s the sign of a great par-ty.

And dressing up to see me in a casket? No thanks. There’s too much awkwardness to be had there. Whenever you don’t know what the dress code is, you grossly misjudge it in one way or the other. You’re being interviewed for a job at Burger King and you come dressed like Frank Sinatra, or you’re like me and go to your J.P. Morgan interview dressed like Freddy Krueger. What’s wrong? They said to look sharp!

And then there’s the “high five” conundrum. When you make a great connection with some-body, you want to show your mutual approval, but your buddy went for the high five and you were instead feeling the fist bump vibe. At the last instant, you both realized the tragic mistake and switched to the other’s congratulatory hand maneuver, ironically creating an “Awkward Turkey”-like contraption, which adequately de-scribed your emotional state.

Or what about that time in the movie the-ater you got caught being extra cute with your date? “No, Officer, she really just dropped a piece of popcorn into her lap, and I was being a gentleman and retrieving it for her. Honest. Cross my heart.” That interaction really made your thoughts of “Free Willy” be “Gone with the Wind.”

Of course there is that time when you wore your Oscar Meyer costume to the Weiners’ million-dol-lar wedding. No one appreciated your cleverness. They were all blabbing on and on about stealing thunder and being disrespectful. There went your thoughts of being one “hot dog.”

You see, all these smooth guys are just schem-ers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I’m not a schemer. I try to show the schem-ers how pathetic are their attempts to control things. Things are going to get outta control. Being awkward makes you learn to roll with the punches. Trust me, I’m Joker, The Joker.

The Joker is the fool in love with the fool.

Rough around the edges

Couple fee increase with Dining reform

”“ onlinecomment

This piece sadly gives a pass to Duke for addressing one of the central issues of higher education today with weak logic and no leadership. Duke is nothing to alumni, current at-tendees and prospective students if it does not lead.

Happy March. Tomorrow, it will have been a month since Groundhog Day, when Gen. Beauregard Lee predicted spring was just around the corner (for

those of you who don’t know, Gen. Beau is the groundhog that matters, boasting a 94 percent accuracy rate and—I am not making this up—a doctorate in “southern groundology”). You can just start to detect that he was right; it’s almost just sort of not quite shorts and T-shirt weather by about 2:30 in the afternoon sometimes, there was that one spell of warm weather that lasted for a few days and—what!? Spring Break starts on Friday?

This epiphany hit me the other day when I was walking along the bridge to McClendon Tower, eavesdropping on the two girls ahead of me.

“I can’t believe you only had a piece of bread for lunch,” said the one.

“Well I have to fit into my bathing suit for Spring Break and I want to look good for all those beach hotties!” quoth the other.

Yes, a Duke student said that. She probably broke 2300 on the SAT. I’m not making it up. I’m only barely para-phrasing. This isn’t me being sexist. That. Happened.

At this point, as I was holding the Bella Union door open for them, I was so impressed by the stupefying level of shallowness that I came this close to saying, “Trust me, no amount of not eating will ever make up for that face,” then flashing my winningest smile and carrying about my day.

Of course, no matter how judgmental that may seem, I recognize in myself the same level of shallowness. For in-stance, I probably spend too much time in the gym, but if you ask my friends if I do it for the ladies, they’ll laugh and say, “Trust me, no amount of working out will make up for his personality.” Also, they’ll probably mention my face.

And the sad thing is, they’re right. You see, I don’t ex-actly have what you might call “game.” If there’s one thing it takes to ball, it’s practice, something I sorely lack.

I’m not greek, so I didn’t have the rush and pledging process force it on me. I rarely go to Shooters, and when I do I spend my time next to the bar attempting to talk to people I already know and keep them off the dance floor, because the dance floor is scary. I spent my formative years learning not to talk to strangers, so I still don’t, no matter how attractive, female and 18+ they may be.

And as much as I look around at people and wish I could be like them and just not care, I’m not that person. It’s the same reason I didn’t talk to those girls by the Bella Union, when I probably should have said something complimen-tary, handed them a sandwich and made some friends in the process.

This is why I was so excited about Spring Break (woo!) 2010. A few of my friends had decided it was our senior year and gol’ durnit we were going to woo the heck out of Spring Break. We’d go on a cruise, be surrounded by people our age who didn’t know us, had never seen us be-fore, had no clue that we were probably the GD’est of the I’s and would never see us again. In short, we could be who-ever we wanted to be and there would be no consequences, even if we wanted to bro out and frat it up with boat drinks on the pool deck. We’d have an entire week of “No prob-lemo, amigo, have another Bahama Mama” while wearing our sunglasses at night and catching up on literally years of getting game with the 18- to 22-year-old girls who only ate bread for lunch so they could impress, whom exactly? Us. Awesome.

That plan quickly fell through when I realized that ap-parently every other person at Duke cloned themselves and is going on the exact same cruise. Recent numbers suggest that of the roughly 6,400 undergraduate students who at-tend the school, no fewer than 10,000 of them are going on my cruise. What’s even more impressive is that the boat only holds 3,104 people. My cruise will be filled to three times capacity with people that I see every day and who will, un-doubtedly, call me out on everything that I do, not to men-tion take away the whole “consequence-free environment.”

And so I say this to you, Duke. This is my senior year. I won’t back down. I am going to have the best Spring Break (woo!) I’ve ever had, and nothing you can do now or in the future will stop me.

Good one. But really, if you need me, I’ll be hiding in my stateroom. Happy Spring Break!

He got gameThose of you who were looking forward to making

noise at the library party, “The Benefit,” know by now that it’s no longer in the cards.

The annual party (christened as such after last year’s “Pangaea” replicated the formula for 2008’s “Latin Chic”) encoun-tered a challenge to its continuation last week when the library coor-dinators and co-sponsor organization Purple cut out of the event being led by the Duke Part-nership for Service.

The spring library party is something of a novelty for us all. Whether it stems from the idea of drinking where you study, entertaining a highbrow al-ternative to Shooters or simply engaging in an ideal mid-semester mingling session, its popularity is evident. A failure of logistics and financing for this year’s party, however, can serve as a reminder that when it comes to service organizations, popularity isn’t enough most of the time.

One thing in common between the first two incarna-tions of the library party was the strictly exhibitionist in-tent of the coordinating organizations. The cultural or-ganizations Mi Gente and the International Association put on shows that dispersed their names to the general student body without necessarily recruiting students to the crux of their causes.

Service organizations, however, require more than an awareness of the potential for service. They need to engage their target audiences in the attractiveness of the service ideal, where it isn’t easy to convince the average Joe to give to a cause to which they are uncon-nected. The daily gauntlet that is the Plaza demon-strates the general resistance to solicitation for a cause, at which Duke students are equally as proficient as grade grubbing.

Why wouldn’t a library party on the part of campus-wide service organizations such as Purple and dPS serve their purposes adequately? I’ve written in previous col-umns about the inherent individuality of service, which manifests itself both in the personal impetus for action at the outset and the individual reflection upon that service in the aftermath. In that vein, broad, “umbrella” service programs struggle to achieve the sort of person-

al touch that would encourage a prospective volunteer to go through with the experience in the first place, even if that experience is as simple as donating a few dollars on FLEX.

Many service organizations rely on the “depth” of activism of a few members to transfer their passion to a breadth of potential volunteers and activists. But the organizations behind “The Benefit” have difficulty rep-licating this model. For instance, Purple takes events such as the highly-publicized Purple service week this past Fall and uses them as conduits to inspire others toward action in some service realm. In other words, it first attempts to establish breadth, then inspire depth. Judging from the lack of similar caliber events since the much ballyhooed Mike Posner benefit concert, it is dif-ficult to sustain the sort of mass mobilization that this model requires.

dPS takes a different approach by pairing prospec-tive volunteers with service organizations that match their interests, a refreshingly intimate and individual approach to service indeed, but one that still lacks a mechanism for encouraging students to engage in ser-vice in the first place. If the desire to volunteer is gen-erated from within, tailoring to the specifications of a potential volunteer merely constitutes a marinate for the real meat of original inclination for service.

It should be no surprise that, outside of dPS and Purple, Duke activism is largely fragmented into high-ly specific, irreducible causes that often are of direct consequence to the individuals that support them. To mobilize all students in a broad, generalized frenzy of activist enthusiasm is an almost impossible task, sim-ply because at the heart of it, most students don’t care enough to spend money or time upon a social cause that doesn’t particularly resonate with them.

For these reasons, the failure of organization for the library party should not be viewed as a missed op-portunity for the dPS and Purple brands, but rather as an opportunity to reevaluate the best way to cali-brate the models of these organizations for the com-mon inclinations of the student body. Broad-based service organizations have the potential on paper to generate massive interest in giving and service, both of which are so hard to come by in smaller associa-tions. The library just might not be the right place to channel these ideas.

of judging whether an economy is still in a recession. Unemployment statistics, one member of the panel noted, are perhaps a better indicator of the actual health of an economy.

Rubenstein said the U.S. is, by some measures, out of the recession but its debt is still very problematic. By the The Carlyle Group co-founder’s estimates, United States has $14 trillion in debt, with $5 trillion of debt from Fan-nie Mae and Freddie Mac.

“A trillion dollars, many people don’t realize how big that is,” Rubenstein said. “If the day that Jesus Christ was born, a million dollars was put into a bank account and another million was put in the bank every day for the next 2010 years, you still wouldn’t have a trillion. Well, we have $57 trillion of this stuff that we have to pay off.”

In the discussion of the aftermath of the crisis, Brian Cartwright, former general counsel of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, stressed that it is important that any regulations or changes to the financial system address the broad factors that contributed to the crisis. He said he fears regulators will focus too much on the surface is-sues and not address the underlying causes, which took decades to manifest.

“To make a perhaps not terribly good metaphor, you’ve got a steep hillside up the mountains and the snow is falling down,” Cartwright said. “And it falls down on it year after year after year after year, and it gets bigger and bigger and bigger and steeper and steeper and steeper. And then, suddenly, there is a loud noise and there’s an avalanche. And after that, everyone focuses on the loud noise and says, ‘No loud noises around here and we’ll be okay.’”

The macroeconomic nature of the global recession and the intertwined nature of the world’s markets will have important implications for the United States during this century, panelists said.

Rubenstein said that although the members of the panel grew up in a time during which the U.S. was the

world’s dominant economy, this will not be the case for the business students in the room or their children. By his estimate, by 2030 to 2035, China will likely be the largest economy in the world and India will be number two.

In response to Rubenstein’s comments, Cartwright not-ed that the United States has had the largest GDP in the world since the 1880s. The U.S. currently accounts for be-tween one-fourth and one-fifth of global output, but that will not be the case for long, Cartwright added.

“The point is that the rest of the world matters,” Cart-wright said. “Because we’ve been so big for so long, and we’re such a big country and most of us all speak English, I think we have a somewhat inward-looking perspective.”

Moving beyond the crisis will require a good under-standing of its underlying causes. Cartwright pointed out that Congress has created the Financial Crisis In-quiry Commission and is expecting a report by Dec. 15 that analyzes the problems that led to the recession. The FCIC was given 22 specific areas to investigate and looks to provide a fuller understanding of the econom-ic contraction.

“That’s not a relief for our parents, but that does give you some sense of the context,” he said. “We recognize that when we raise tuition, it’s an added cost for our families. We recog-nize that we are being very rigorous in sustaining our finan-cial aid program—we’re trying to strike the right balance.”

This weekend, the Trustees also approved increases in next year’s tuition for the University’s graduate and profes-sional schools.

The Pratt School of Engineering’s Master of Engi-neering Management program, School of Nursing and Law School will each see tuition increases of 5.5 percent or more. Tuition for the Sanford School of Public Policy, School of Medicine and Graduate School will all increase by 4 percent. The Divinity School’s tuition will increase 3.5 percent, the Fuqua School of Business will see an increase of 4.6 percent and the Nicholas School of the Environ-ment will see the lowest increase of 2.8 percent.

The Trustees also heard an update on the University’s overall financial situation.

Duke has reduced its approximately $100 million defi-cit by half, one year into its three-year track, and Blue at-tributed the University’s progress partly to voluntary retire-ments. He reiterated that substantial layoffs are not a part of the budget cutting plan.

“We don’t anticipate any large-scale mass layoffs to ad-just to what’s happening financially,” Blue said. “The feel-ing is that we’re about halfway home with DART, the chal-lenge is to get the other half way.... The University is in a sound position financially but looking for more opportu-nities to be more efficient.”

In other business:The Board approved the construction of K4, a fourth

building that will complete Keohane Quadrangle. The 150-bed dormitory will be split into two houses and consist of single rooms, doubles and two-story suites. The building is expected to be completed by January 2012. It will serve as a precursor to New Campus, testing the housing model that will be the basis for that long-term initiative.

Trustees agreed Saturday that the building’s external ap-pearance should match the rest of Keohane, said Steve Now-icki, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education.

“We can’t wait for New Campus. We have to start do-ing things now to make the residential experience of Duke students now tangibly better, and that’s what part of K4 is about,” he said.

University officials also presented and reviewed the stra-tegic plans of Duke and its individual schools, highlighting interdisciplinary education and globalization.

“We need to build the infrastructure on campus that acknowledges we’re an international institution, making sure there’s an international component within those pro-grams, but truly international in its scope and its approach to analyzing where we’re supposed to be,” Blue said. “It’s just a question of implementing the general plan once we fully identify it.”

The Board discussed extensively the financial state of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, Blue said, point-ing to challenges with soliciting donations for the school.

The Trustees also approved an 18-month Master of En-gineering degree program that will begin this Fall. The program will incorporate an internship along with busi-ness and management-based coursework.

A $20 million chilled water plant was approved to serve the Duke Medicine Pavilion and the Cancer Center, both currently under construction. The system will include two large chillers and be located on Circuit Drive.
