ELYSIA SU/THE CHRONICLE

Junior Stefani Jones will serve as Duke Student Government president next year.

by Carleigh StiehmTHE CHRONICLE

Junior Stefani Jones will be the presi-dent of Duke Student Government for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Jones, current vice president for eq-uity and outreach, defeated her oppo-nent junior Patrick Oathout, current ex-ecutive vice president. In the Thursday election, Jones won by a vote of 1,497 to 725. Jones received 66.5 percent of the vote. Oathout received 32.2 percent, and write-in candidates received the remaining 29 votes, junior Sam Marks, DSG attorney general, wrote in an email Thursday.

“I am so, so excited, and I couldn’t feel more excited to be able to represent the student body next year,” Jones said. “I couldn’t ask for a better opponent or some-

one that I respected more than Patrick.”Sophomore Nikolai Doytchinov, cur-

rent vice president for academic affairs, was elected executive vice president. Doytchinov, who was the only candidate on the ballot after sophomore Tre’ Scott removed himself for the race Tuesday, received 90.56 percent of the vote.

“I am really excited and really hon-ored. It is really humbling to be offi-cially elected now,” Doytchinov said. “I am very excited to be working with Ste-fani, who is such a great advocate for stu-dents, next year.”

A total of 2,251 ballots were cast this year, compared to 2,542 votes last year. The turnout was approximately 33 per-cent of all undergraduates

Oathout was docked 30 votes from his total following a ruling by the DSG Ju-

diciary. The group found that Oathout violated election policies by hanging a campaign banner in the East Union building on a balcony facing the Mar-ketplace without permission from Uni-versity Center Activities and Events or proper installation by UCAE, chief jus-tice Daniel Strunk, a junior, wrote in an email Wednesday.

Oathout and Strunk are columnists for The Chronicle.

Marks added that the election pro-cess went “very smoothly” this year, and there were no complaints filed on elec-tion night.

“I want to commend all of the candi-dates because I think they did a tremen-dous job campaigning, and the campaign

Duke takes on the small-ball Tar Heels

by Brady BuckTHE CHRONICLE

Bigger isn’t necessarily better—just ask the Tar Heels.

Before its first meeting against No. 3 Duke (26-4, 13-4 in the ACC) Feb. 13—when the Blue Devils eked out a 73-68 win—North Carolina looked like a team that would be lucky to get an at-large bid to the Big Dance due to its constantly changing rotations and resulting lack of chemistry.

But now with a small-ball lineup, the Tar Heels (22-8, 12-5) have considerable mo-mentum heading into their 9 p.m. show-down with Duke Saturday at the Dean E. Smith Center.

North Carolina (22-8, 12-5) first used

that small lineup against Duke, and since that setback, the Tar Heels have won six consecutive games. Playing their best bas-ketball of the year, North Carolina is now a shoo-in for the NCAA Tournament and can make some serious noise in the post-season.

“That’s what we’ve talked about with this group. In the preseason I said I thought my team would get better and better as the season went along and I really think they have,” Tar Heel head coach Roy Williams said in his postgame press conference af-ter defeating Maryland Wednesday night. “The small lineup gives too much credit to coaching. The kids have really bought into

Council approves new global health major

by Ryan ZhangTHE CHRONICLE

Starting soon, students will be able to take on a global health major.

The Arts and Sciences Council ap-proved a proposal for the new major at their meeting Thursday. Global health will be a co-major, meaning students will only be able to take it on as second major. The co-major will consist of 10 courses,

an experiential learning requirement and a senior seminar that will bring students together in multidisciplinary teams. The program, which has been part of council discussions since Spring 2012, will be re-viewed after five years.

“We’ve always been good at interdis-ciplinary research… we have not done as good a job at driving such interdisciplinar-ity into the curriculum,” Dean of Arts and

ARTS AND SCIENCES COUNCIL Sciences Laurie Patton said. “The global health major is one step toward that goal. As a co-major it does so by protecting the other disciplines even as it engages them.”

Much of the council’s discussion prior to the vote centered on potential difficul-ties that could arise for students as they at-tempt to combine the global health major with a second major.

Gary Bennett, director of undergradu-ate studies for the Duke Global Health Institute, said it will be possible to study global health alongside the humanities. Biology, public policy, cultural anthropol-ogy and international comparative stud-ies, among others, will likely constitute the majority of second majors, Bennett said.

“Our expectation and hope is that it

will be paired with a wide range of majors across the campus,” Bennett said. “Our intention is not for the global health co-major to pair exclusively with a natural sci-ence major.”

Chantal Reid, assistant professor of biol-ogy, shared concerns about the pre-health students who already have a number of additional requirements but also want to take on global health as a co-major.

But many students already take on dou-ble majors, Bennett said, adding that the global health was designed specifically as second major.

Bennett also noted that students will be strongly advised to enroll in language courses beyond the Trinity College of

Uni offers undergrads internships near DKU

by Tony ShanTHE CHRONICLE

Duke is offering undergradu-ates a summer internship Kun-shan, China, in close proximity to the future campus of Duke Kun-shan University.

The five-week internship, which will run from June 7 to July 12, is organized by the Office of Global Strategy and Programs in conjunction with City of Kunshan leaders to provide students with the chance to gain work experi-ence while exploring China. The program will also seek to help Duke establish a good relationship with the municipality of Kunshan and obtain valuable feedback in

light of the future opening of Duke’s new China campus, said Lee Baker, dean of academic af-fairs for Trinity College of Arts and Sciences and associate vice provost for undergraduate education.

“Just like Duke wants a good re-lationship in Durham—get[ting] our students out in Durham and doing service... we want our stu-dents to be integrated into Kun-shan, as well,” Baker said.

Selected students will first en-gage in one week of language and culture training, followed by four weeks of an internship at a company, with opportunities for cultural excursions. Although the details of the exact internships of-

fered are still being worked out with Duke’s partners in Kunshan, Baker expects that there will be a fair variety including government, manufacturing and advertising.

“The internship came to record very quickly,” said Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost of under-graduate education. “We wanted to get the word out while students are still applying for internships—even if we don’t yet know the de-tails.”

Nowicki said the program will adopt parallel approach, building a selection of internship options while evaluating student appli-cants. That way, once applicants are chosen, they can be placed

The University is replacing street lights with energy efficient lightbulbs in its effort to become carbon neutral by 2024.

Uni to put eco-friendly bulbs in streetlights

by Andrew Luo THE CHRONICLE

In an ongoing effort to become cli-mate-neutral by 2024, Duke will replace streetlights with energy-efficient light-bulbs.

After conducting a complete survey of light fixtures on campus, Duke Facilities Management will replace 1,460 lamps with LED lightbulbs. The project, which is part of Duke’s commitment to the 2009 Climate Action Plan, is expected to save the University $188,000 in energy and operational costs annually. The Uni-versity seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 21 percent by 2015, accord-ing to the action plan, published by the Campus Sustainability Committee. So far, all the replacement LED lightbulbs have been ordered, and on-site work to replace the existing light fixtures will

start in May, said Steve Palumbo, energy manager for Facilities Management.

“With the new LED street lamps, we will not need to change them nearly as often,” Palumbo said. “It’s a big step for-ward in the [Climate Action Plan].”

The replacement bulbs are projected to remove 631 metric tons of carbon from Duke’s carbon emissions, he noted, equal to the amount of electricity used by 94 average U.S. homes annually.

The new LEDs—which will be installed by Facilities’ high voltage technicians, who are responsible for the installation, operation, maintenance and distribu-tion of electric power on campus—are expected to last about 40,000 hours. The existing lamps only last about 10,000 hours, he added.

The upgrade in light bulbs will also come with aesthetic changes. Palumbo

noted that there are currently several different styles of lamp posts on cam-pus, and the upcoming change will try to make them more uniform by adding brown caps and a glass prism cover.

Replacing streetlights is just one of

many initiatives led by Facilities Man-agement, Palumbo added. The Univer-sity is looking to equip classrooms with motion detectors that turn off the lights

into the internship that is most suited to their interests.

He noted that in order to en-sure that the final group consists of a diverse set of students, the program will not target students of any particular major, nationality or gender. Even though the program specifies that there is a language component to the program, it is more of a guideline than a require-ment, he added. Having partici-pants who do not speak Chinese will actually help answer the ques-tion of how these students handle an immersive program.

The hope is that the experi-ences of these students will give Duke valuable insight into how to think about the future student experience at DKU. Students are expected to arrive at the campus Fall 2014.

“As we continue to develop a plan for DKU, it would be good to have undergraduates have some

experience over [in Kunshan],” Nowicki said. “The stories of stu-dents who have been there, lived there and worked there will be use-ful to tell us how DKU will work.”

The current focus of the DKU initiative is to develop the campus, said Nora Bynum, vice provost for DKU and China initiatives. Given that DKU residences are still un-der construction, students who are accepted for this internship will likely be placed in apartments in the city, although the details of these living arrangements are not yet clear.

Nowicki, however, believes that the distance between these apart-ments and the campus will not take away from the lessons that Duke can learn for DKU.

“I’m sure that those students will be taken to DKU and will be in-volved in a lot of stuff there,” he said.

Spring semester is a busy time for some students with time-consuming events such as tenting, selec-tive living group recruitment and job and internship applications on top of schoolwork. Spring break arrives about two months into the semester, marking the six-week countdown to LDOC. The Chronicle’s Raisa Chowdhury asked Duke students for their thoughts on the eve of Spring break.

“I’m looking forward to sleeping.”—junior Sonam Aidasani

“Pretty ready for spring break. It’s been like a hard three months. I’m getting burned out because I’m overloading and I’ll just be here chilling, doing some shadowing and going to a dance conference. So I’m just excited for that.“—junior Rebecca Pham

“I hope it’s sunny!”—senior Ellie Bullard

“I’m ready for a break and St. Patrick’s Day with my sister in Charlotte. My plans are a little up in the air. We were going to go to Savannah, but hotels are expensive.”—freshman Aline Swiec

“I am very ready for it. It’s been a busy past three weeks for me.”—freshman David Clancy

“I have a lot of feelings.”—junior Katie Guidera

“It’s bittersweet because it’s my last spring break as a college undergraduate, but I’m excited to enjoy my break and relax and come back prepared to go out with a bang.”—senior Nazanin Amini

“I’m really looking forward to a week of Netfl ix and home-cooked meals.”—freshman Chioma Iwelumo

“I’m tired. I’ve got a lot of work. I’m visiting my twin brother, so it’s just always nice to see him.”—junior David Mayer

“It’s Thursday. I’m pretty tapped out.”—sophomore Emily Cohen

“Destin. I’m going to Destin. Hanging out with friends, blowing off some steam.”—senior Willy Hughes

“I’m really happy—this is the fi rst meal I’ve been able to enjoy for a really long time be-cause I’ve been so stressed out with work and school. Coming back from abroad is really hard, so spring break is a needed break.”—junior Julie Arnold

“We’re on the golf team, so we got a tourna-ment in Myrtle Beach, so we go there and head to our house in South Carolina. We’ve got a good chance to win, so we’ll see what happens, but it will be fun. It won’t be stressful.”—junior Austin Cody

SpringBreakSoundOffArts and Sciences requirements to bet-ter prepare them for potential fieldwork projects abroad. He added that for many students, languages might be a natural choice for their other major.

“There are lots of potential opportuni-ties for overlapping, particularly in the fo-cus study portion of the major, so I expect to see many language co-majors,” Bennett said.

A director of academic engagement will be hired specifically to work with and advise students considering the global health co-major.

In other businessIn an update on the Duke Forward

capital campaign, Patton announced that Trinity has reached nearly $200 mil-lion of its $435 million goal.

Also in her “Dean’s Corner” presenta-tion, Patton noted that a task force on advising will review different aspects of the advising process and consider other options, including whether the Univer-sity will adopt a four-year advising mod-el. The group recently met for the first time.

Duke will partner with the University of Virginia to develop a program provid-ing courses on lesser-taught languages, such as Creole, Tibetan, Turkish, Swahili and Uzbek, Patton said.

Ruth Day, associate professor of psy-chology and neuroscience, delivered the results of a faculty survey about various models of interdisciplinary studies at Duke. According to the results, faculty are spread across two groups. Some are group interdisciplinarians, single-subject experts who work with other experts to solve problems of mutual interest, and others are individual interdisciplinar-ians, experts in multiple fields of study who combine them in their work.

In the survey, Trinity faculty were asked to report on their personal expe-riences with interdisciplinary research and teaching, as well as their ideas for expansion or improvement.

One survey response noted that inter-disciplinary studies are crucial in “avoid-ing tunnel vision, [the] narrowness of talking to a tiny audience of specialists.”

Faculty reported studying a variety of interdisciplinary topics, such as religious experiences in East Asia, biogeochemis-try, neuroethics and gender in the bibli-cal world.

“Even if they don’t live on the actual campus, [Duke] can still learn a lot from them.”

This year’s internship will not be the first time that Duke students will have traveled to Kunshan. In addition to the Duke men’s basketball team’s exhibition game last year and a Duke dance troupe that toured China with a stop in Kunshan, there is also an official DKU student advi-

sory council that has sent members to visit the campus. Nowicki noted that the in-ternship, however, will provide the closest comparison to what future DKU students will experience and the feedback will en-sure the quality of DKU.

“DKU is a new program, so everything is being done for the first time,” Bynum said. “But we have the same standards for it and the internship that we have for any Duke program.”

Ad-ditionally, Facilities Management is starting a water consumption project to replace toilets, faucets and urinals in several buildings on campus, including the Bryan Center and French Family Science Center. The changes are expected to reduce water consumption by 9 million gallons per year.

“One of the main motivations for changing the light bulbs is because energy efficiency is one of the points in the neutrality goal,” said Casey Roe, sustainability out-

mere energy conservation, Roe noted. The University also focuses on waste and recycling, as well as water management. Duke has been on track in meeting its sustainability goals so far.

According to the 2012 Sustainability Strategic Plan Progress Report, Duke reached a 16 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the 2007 baseline.

Duke looks to continue its ACC dominance

BRIANNA SIRACUSE/THE CHRONICLE

With Chelsea Gray injured, freshman Alexis Jones has stepped up to handle the Duke offense.

by Zac ElderTHE CHRONICLE

Even with the recent loss of star guard Chelsea Gray, Duke enters this weekend’s ACC tournament as the No. 1 seed and a heavy favorite to win.

And after going one-and-done in last year’s ACC tournament, losing to N.C. State

in the quarterfinals, Duke will have its chance for revenge against the eighth-seeded Wolfpack in the quarterfinals.

“It’s three games,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “You can earn three games, and

that’s a special thing to do at this time of the year. Literally it’s either play games or prac-tice. So you want to earn three games.”

Without Gray, the Blue Devils (27-2, 17-1 in the ACC) clinched their fourth straight regular season title two weeks ago by taking down a tough Maryland squad, ranked No. 8 in the nation at the time.

They followed that up with a win against a ranked Florida State squad, but later dropped their first ACC game to Miami before finishing the season with a victory against North Carolina.

Only the Hurricanes found the right strategy to knocking off the ACC’s top team, taking down Duke last Thursday in

Coral Gables 69-65. If not for the slipup against the Hurricanes, the Blue Devils would have finished with the first 18-0 sea-son in conference history.

Despite dominating in the conference

with relative ease, Duke may not slice through the competition in Greensboro quite so easily.

The Blue Devils have a first-round bye before their first game against N.C. State,

which defeated Clemson 56-45 in the first round. Duke beat the Wolfpack 67-57 this year in Raleigh.

The Blue Devils will face the winner of No. 4 Florida State (21-8, 11-7) and either No. 5 Miami or No. 12 Virginia Tech in its second game. Assuming the Hokies do not upset both the Hurricanes and the Semi-noles, Duke will be faced with a tough op-ponent in the second round.

Miami obviously knows how to beat the Blue Devils, especially when they do not have Gray bringing the ball down the court. And Florida State played physically enough to hang in with Duke for almost all of 40 minutes of their game Feb. 22.

If Duke makes it through the semifi-nals, it will most likely face either No. 2 Maryland (23-6, 14-4) or No. 3 North Car-olina (26-5, 14-4). After beating the Tar Heels by 21 in Chapel Hill in early Feb-ruary, the Blue Devils only topped North Carolina by seven in their last game of the regular season.

The Terrapins are the best rebounding team in the nation, and will look to use their physicality to overpower Duke in a potential championship matchup.

McCallie seems optimistic heading into the weekend especially after the hard-fought victory against the Tar Heels.

“I think what it does is give us great ex-perience because it was a physical game,”

I’m in the UNC band, but I root for Duke

by Aaron HannerTHE CHRONICLE

Aaron Hanner, a freshman at North Caro-lina and the son of a Duke graduate, wrote this letter to The Chronicle about why he re-mains a Duke basketball fan despite attend-ing UNC.

With a mother who was a team man-ager, I was born into Duke basketball. She witnessed the rise of the Krzyzewski era. She felt the joy of victory with the illustrious team of ‘86, featuring Johnny Dawkins and Jay Bilas spearheading a sweep of the ACC Tournament. She felt the agony of defeat with a heartbreak-ing, last-minute three-point loss to Lou-isville in the NCAA Tournament.

She raised her kids well. Even in the (embarrassingly long) time of my life when I couldn’t care less about sports, I still knew Duke was king. We lived and breathed basketball from the first day of the season to the last. There was no hope of sleeping through the hell raised in our living room during games, and God help anyone who walked in our house during the month of March. Verbal altercations with the deluge of indoctrinated Tar Hole fans at school were frequent and ruthless. Jesus came first in our family, but Coach K was a close second.

Despite all this, when college deci-

sion time came, I happened to end up at that school eight miles down the road. I know, it’s terrible, but Duke doesn’t have my major and academics come be-fore athletics. When it does come to ath-letics, though, all bets are off.

I was born a Blue Devil and I’ll be a Blue Devil to the last, “Tar Heel dead” be damned. Seeing those powder-blue argyle-wearing ninnies take the court makes my blood boil. If I see one more person write the word “d00k” and de-lude themselves into thinking it’s actu-ally funny or clever, I’ll explode. I have never felt a more vindictive joy in my life than standing in a crowd of Caroli-na fans watching the beating Duke gave their team back in February.

My friends here have learned to ac-cept me in spite of it all, but I still get a steady stream of grief for it. Oh well, I’ve learned to let it slide. Tar Hole fans al-ways have been and always will be a dime a dozen next to the True Blues.

I just wanted y’all to know that you still have a Daniel in the midst of the lion’s den, a proud Blue Devil living smack in the middle of Tar Heel country. Satur-day evening’s gonna be rough. The team is getting better. They’re mad as hell. So

Blue Devils seek first win against ranked foe

MEN’S LACROSSE

by Lopa RahmanTHE CHRONICLE

After losing all four games that they have played against ranked opponents this season, the Blue Devils fell out of the top 20 for the first time since 2006.

And it won’t get any easier during Spring Break when Duke hosts No. 4 Loyola, the reigning national champi-ons, Friday evening at Koskinen Stadium before heading to Chapel Hill to take on No. 9 North Carolina next Wednesday.

“It’s an athletic cliché, but we really take games one at a time,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “[The Loyola game] is a great opportunity for our pro-gram to measure up and see how we’re going to fare against the defending na-tional champs.”

Following Duke’s 16-10 loss to Mary-land in the NCAA semifinal last year, Loy-ola (4-1) routed the Terrapins 9-3 behind Eric Lusby’s four goals, winning the first national title in school history. The Grey-hounds lost Lusby, who ranked sixth in the country in goals per game with 2.84, to graduation last year.

They return their other five double-digit scorers, however, with the most no-table being senior Mike Sawyer and junior Justin Ward. Sawyer notched 52 goals last year—just two fewer than Lusby—while

Ward, who led the team in assists with 31, only found the back of the net 12 times. Inside Lacrosse writer Christian Swezey selected Ward as a “sleeper pick” early in the season, a prediction that has prov-en accurate thus far. Ward is the Grey-hounds’ leading scorer with 14 goals this season, and Sawyer follows closely behind with 12 tallies on the year.

“[Ward] can work behind the cage to pass, set picks and create shots for him-self,” Swezey said. “Last year [Loyola] had Lusby on left and Sawyer on right, so Ward fed them the ball and didn’t force shots. This year he’s stepping in for Lusby.”

In addition to containing the Grey-hounds’ high-powered offense, Duke (2-4) will have to break through their sturdy defensive unit. Senior defensive midfield-er Josh Hawkins and junior defender Joe Fletcher were two of just 15 players in the country to be named Inside Lacrosse First Team Preseason All-Americans, and junior goaltender Jack Runkel garnered ECAC Defensive Player of the Week hon-ors after helping the Greyhounds win both of their games last week.

head coach Charley Toomey believes that the Blue Devils’ veteran attacking trio of ju-niors Jordan Wolf, Josh Dionne and Chris-tian Walsh will pose a challenge to his expe-rienced defense.

“We’re looking forward to a great game,” Toomey said. “We have a battle on our hands Friday night.”

After playing Loyola, Duke will make the short trip to Chapel Hill Wednesday to take on North Carolina (2-2), which is coming off a 10-9 loss to No. 2 Notre Dame in triple overtime. Last season, the Blue Devils defeated the Tar Heels 13-11 at Koskinen Stadium. When the teams met again in the ACC championship game, North Carolina took a 4-2 halftime lead, but Duke rallied to a 12-9 victory, claiming the conference crown.

“[Wednesday’s game] is definitely cir-cled on both teams’ calendars because of the rivalry,” North Carolina senior Marcus Holman said. “It was a tough loss in the ACC championship. [The upcom-ing game] is going to be exciting, and we’re going to give [Duke] everything we have.”

The Tar Heels return their starting attack line of Holman and sophomores Jimmy Bitter and Joey Sankey, who have scored 11, nine and eight goals this sea-son, respectively. Holman, an All-Amer-ica selection who notched 39 goals and dished out 35 assists last year, finished the season ranked fifth in the coun-try in points per game with 4.35. Bitter earned the starting nod in the middle of the 2011-12 season, energizing North Carolina’s offense and picking up All-America honors after a standout rookie campaign. Rounding out the Tar Heels’ offensive unit, Sankey is known for his frenetic style of play, with frequent goals

off turnovers and 50-50 ground balls in the offensive zone.

“Marcus quarterbacks our offense,” North Carolina head coach Joe Breschi said. “He organizes us, gets us in the right spots and keeps everybody on the same page, and he’s got the ability to shoot, score and feed. Jimmy is a dynamic play-er. He does a great job of being explosive off the dodge and causes matchup issues. Joey is just everywhere. He’s Mr. Utility. [Our attack] wreaks havoc as a group.”

After its tough test against the Tar Heels, Duke will play Towson (2-3) Sat-urday at home. The Tigers have suffered blowout losses at the hands of Loyola and No. 6 Johns Hopkins.

McCrory leads Duke to the Zone Championshipsby Sarah Elsakr

THE CHRONICLE

For divers, the road to the NCAA Cham-pionship takes a few steps to travel. First, there are the regular season competitions, which include qualifying for the NCAA Zone Diving Championships. Then, the journey continues with a complicated qualification process at the Zone meet that determines if they receive a berth to the NCAA Championship.

Select Duke divers will be traveling to the Zone meet in Knoxville, Tenn. Monday to take on the competition from Zone B, including divers from states such as Ala-bama and Florida.

“The Zone meet is very important—it’s the way that you qualify for the national championship,” head diving coach Drew Johansen said. “The preparation is a year-long process…. Now at the end of the year with all those meets under their belts and just coming off the ACC Championships they should be confident and ready to go.”

The divers who qualified for the Zone meet include junior Nick McCrory, senior Jordan Long, sophomore Clay Pinckney and freshmen Deon Reid, Jaimee Gundry and Kendall McClenney. McCrory, McClenney and Reid have all qualified in three events—the 1m, 3m and platform. McCrory recently earned yet another title—ACC’s most deco-rated diver. McCrory swept the men’s diving titles at the ACC meet and now owns seven ACC diving crowns in his career.

Regardless of which specific dives they will be competing in, all of the athletes have been preparing for these final competitions throughout the year, using dual meets and other regular season contests as practice.

Although some may prefer specific dives or have areas they consider their specialties, Jo-hansen emphasized that the athletes focus on all of their dives, not just their favorites.

“We really try to focus on the whole list of dives,” Johansen said. “In the end [what mat-ters is] the total score of all six dives that they do. So you’re not going to win the meet or qualify for nationals based off one dive —you have to be consistent across all six. So that’s really our focus about the total number of points you can score rather than how many points you can score on one specific dive.”

McCrory, who won a bronze medal at the

2012 Olympic Games in London, echoed this sentiment, saying that although certain dives may appeal to him more than others, there isn’t one he he relies on.

“I am working on some harder dives to put in my list right now so I’m looking for-ward to seeing how that goes for the rest of the season,” McCrory said. “Platform has been kind of my specialty, that’s what I competed internationally, that’s what my two NCAA titles are on, but that takes a toll on your body after a while. In platform I’ve moved one of my dives that I competed in at the Olympics from 10-meter down to

7-meter so that’s increased the degree of difficulty so that’s one new thing, and in the 3-meter I’m toying with a few new dives.”

Due to the bodily stress accompanying a platform dive, McCrory will be shifting to a focus on springboard dives, highlighted by the fact that he is already debuting new dives in the 3m.

Although he is more focused on the indi-vidual dives rather than the broad competi-tion, McCrory named Stanford’s Kristian Ip-sen as a strong competitor as well as a friend, noting that they will have an upcoming “show-down” at the NCAA Championship meet.

Other divers, such as Long, are still un-sure of their chances of securing qualify-ing scores, though they are heading into the meet with a compete-to-win mindset. Long has shown significant improvement this season, and will hope to continue this trend in Tennessee.

“He made the final at the ACCs which was one of our benchmarks for him,” Johan-sen said. “If you’re in that final at the ACC Championships then you’re in the mix at the Zone meet to take that next step, so he’s been doing very well for us this year.”

As Long and McCrory join their team-mates at the Zone meet, they have a tough challenge ahead of them physically, though Johansen noted that he is sure that all of the divers making the trip are prepared for the task at hand.

“You know we usually take from what we’ve learned from ACCs based on how they’ve performed there and we can tweak their training a little bit,” Johansen said. “[But] it’s more the mental approach than the physical approach—the bodies are ready, the divers are ready.”

by Tom GierynTHE CHRONICLE

Tuesday against Virginia Tech on senior night, columnist and bas-ketball beat writer Tom Gieryn attended his last Duke home game in the student section at Cameron Indoor Stadium. This ballad reflects on his memories and experience.

Walking into the rain after our last home game,It was hard to know quite how to feel.The season’s not over, the best not done, no sir,But the last one at home’s a big deal.

Couldn’t help but be thankful for a memory bank fullOf wins and 3-pointers galore.So as I stood there, I said a quick prayerIn honor of Cameron Indoor.

I’ve oft stood in those bleachers in spite of my teachersAnd too many papers to write.Nearly shed a few tears looking back on four yearsThat began with those loud freshman nights

We’d head out to Club Cameron, hoped to see Zoubek slam oneBut still I’m not sure he can dunk it.But those offensive rebounds, and a beard world-renownedLed us on to the ‘ship—who’d have thunk it?

‘Twas 61-59, Zoubek missed from the line,With 3.6 still on the clock.Howard’s illegal screen, Hayward’s look, it was clean.To this day I can’t watch that last shot.

But it banked off the glass, rimmed out and at lastBlue Devils were champions once more.Benches ne’er burned so bright as that warm April nightWhen Cameron saw Order Restored.

Here’s to Nolan—he’s rollin’, dunks imported from PolandTo opponents we’d say, you got Czyz’d onAnd man, who could stop that old pick-and-popWhen Andre (all day) got his biz on?

Here’s to Ludacris rapping and lots of floor-slapping,With hats off to Steve Wojciechowski.And when Singler gets buckets, there’s cause for a ruckusHis shots from the stands, they yet wow me.

To Kyrie, one-man show, just don’t step on his toe,To Chris Collins in three-button suits.For our star walk-on Todd, we will always applaudAnd go nuts every time that he shoots.

Here’s to 82-50, Quinn Cook’s dimes—oh so nifty!All the trophies won’t fit on one shelf.Rivers shoots over Zeller, UNC, go to hell orElse Austin will send you himself.

Here’s to Miles and to Mason—raised in the same basement!To Marshall saying, “Make it a trio!”To Seth driving hard with his flailing mouthguardAnd ice in his veins—¡qué frío!

When my soul needed savin’, there arose a White RavenAnd our crowd chanting “Fly, Raven, Fly.”Used his whole bag of tricks to throw down thirty-sixTo delight of a Crazy Towel Guy.

Here’s to Michael Krzyzewski, yelling at the ref, “See,To call that a foul is a crime!”Here’s to win 903, and 45 drafteesFor the greatest head coach of all time.

I’m already sorry I won’t see JabariUnless I turn on CBS,But o’er my first fireplace I’ll hang a Scheyer faceAnd dream of K’s feared full-court press.

Go to hell Carolina, there ain’t nothing finerThan six weeks in a tent—I won’t grouse!And as we leave we can say we were lucky those daysThat we got to call Cameron our house.

Ballad to the Class of 2013

are the students, and they’re gearing up big time. The Dean Dome will be loud, energized and doing their best to make this potentially the most difficult away game all season. And I want you to take it out of them. I want you to beat them, so, so badly. I may be wearing Carolina blue and playing in the band section, but the little Duke blue fire is still burning in my heart. And it would experience no better vindication than seeing a healthy Ryan Kelly (praise be unto him) and the rest of the boys beating the ever-loving Tar out of the Heels, so to speak. Duke is still king in my book, and y’all have my best wishes. Go to hell Carolina, and rip ‘em up, tear ‘em up, give ‘em hell Duke!

McCallie said. “It mirrored games that could occur in tournament settings—very physical, very demanding. I think having that experience as a team was very impor-tant to us.”

But the Blue Devils have more improve-ments to make before heading into the ACC tournament and beyond.

“The areas of growth need to be in re-bounding, particularly offensive rebounding, and defensively we need to be very effective in stopping go-to players,” McCallie said. “Of-fensively we need to cut turnovers way down and be a little bit more patient in allowing things to develop on offense. We need to con-trol the ball a little bit more, meaning work it, pass it, play inside-out and really break down

defenses and hopefully get some more transi-tion opportunities as well.”

Duke’s biggest challenge will be con-tinuing to learn how to play without Gray, a first-team All-ACC guard and the team’s top passer and court leader. The Blue Dev-ils lost 12.6 points, 5.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 3.6 steals when the junior guard went down with a discolated knee against Wake Forest. Duke has been inconsistent in its fi-nal four games without Gray.

Freshman point guard Alexis Jones has picked up most of the ball handling respon-sibility left behind by Gray and has stepped up to assume the role as floor general. The Irving, Texas native recorded 15 points and nine assists against the Terrapins at Col-lege Park and then earned the ACC Fresh-man of the Week award—for the second time this season—scoring a career-high 22

against North Carolina Sunday. Jones’ play will be essential to the Blue Devils’ success this weekend.

Also key will be junior guards Chloe Wells and Richa Jackson. Both have seen increased minutes since Gray’s injury, and both have shown their ability as scoring threats. Wells knocked down four 3-point-ers and totaled 15 points in the Feb. 23 win against Florida State, and Jackson has aver-aged 7.3 points with Gray on the sidelines.

The inside duo of junior Haley Peters and sophomore Elizabeth Williams com-bine for 27.4 points and 14.4 rebounds a game. Both interior players will have to come up big against teams like Florida State and Maryland that constantly crash the of-fensive glass and convert second-chance attempts. Williams—another Blue Devil on the All-ACC first team—also serves as a de-

fensive stopper in the paint, averaging 2.9 blocks per game, and is in the running for the Naismith Women’s College Player of the Year award.

Although the Blue Devils will be without one of their best players, they are in a good position to win all three of their potential games and head into the NCAA tournament riding the momentum of a regular season title and a tournament title within the ACC.

“It’s really about us bringing the energy, making that transition from the regular season which is very much a marathon,” McCallie said. “I think the regular season is by far the hardest to win, but I think the tournament’s a blast. I think it’s fun to win and we’ve had that experience, but its much more like a sprint, and so the idea for us is to play our game and work really hard to earn each game.”

the sense of urgency, the unselfishness, the gang rebounding and the total play on the offensive and defensive end of the floor.”

After losing four first-round NBA draft picks from last year’s team, Wil-liams deserves credit and perhaps even consideration for ACC Coach of the Year. Disregarding the orthodox starting lineup of two big men on the floor before the first edition of the To-bacco Road Showdown, Williams put his five best players on the court, regardless of position. And the strategy has worked wonders for him. Starting a lineup of four guards—Marcus Paige, Dexter Strickland, Reggie Bullock and P.J. Hairston—along-side big man James Michael McAdoo has salvaged North Carolina’s season.

The move has allowed the team to surge to the No. 3 spot in league standings. Vic-tims of the Tar Heels’ new lineup and renewed swagger include Virginia, N.C. State and Maryland, which have all lost to North Carolina by double digits.

“I don’t know how to make my team peak and neither does anyone else,” Williams said following the Maryland game. “None of us is that much smarter than the other guy. If I knew how to make my team peak then so would they. Every-

body would be peaking and how the crap would you know who’s peaking. We work as hard as we can every single day. I tell my team all the time, if you bust your tail every day you’re going to get better as we go along.”

Maturation has been a key process in North Carolina’s turnaround. Paige—a slight but talented freshman floor gener-al—has come into his own, for the most part, these past several weeks after a rocky

first three-quarters of the season. The Iowan rookie is averaging 5.8 assists per game in the last five contests.

Netting 22 points in the team’s most recent win at Maryland Wednesday

night, Hairston—a 6-foot-5 physi-cal sharpshooter—is likely the most crucial ingredient to the team’s recent success. As a starter

this year, the sophomore is averaging 17.7 points per game. Defensively, Hairston has been able to play bigger than he

actually is while often guarding opposing team’s

power forwards. Defending N.C. State’s 6-foot-9 C.J. Leslie in the two

team’s matchup weeks ago, Hairston held him to just six points as the Tar

Heels defeated the Wolfpack 76-65.A 6-foot-9 hybrid forward, McA-

doo and Bullock—a versatile swingman—have contin-ued to play well as of late as both lead the team with slightly more than 14 points per outing.

The Duke frontcourt is much stronger than the fi rst time these two teams met with Ryan Kelly back in action. That could present problems for North Carolina’s small lineup.

Since losing to Duke the fi rst time Roy Williams went with his small-ball lineup, the Tar Heels have won six in a row and look dangerous with the speed they put out on the fl oor.

Coach K still uses a small ro-tation but Duke’s bench has more assets with Kelly back in the fold, allowing him to choose from Alex Murphy, Amile Jefferson and Josh Hairston up front.

The breakdownThis is a different North Carolina team than the meeting, plus the Tar Heels have homecourt advantage. The Blue Devils, however, are differ-ent in their own right with Kelly adding a new element on both ends of the fl oor. This should be a close one, but the Blue Devils hold the edge with their size and shooting ability.

On numerous occasions, members of my extended circle of friends have ques-tioned the value of study-

ing art. They say that studying art is easy, is inapplicable to real life and leads to a “soft” profession. I’d like to take this chance to defend art and its history. I posit that art history is intel-lectually stimulating, aesthetically engaging and challenging. Art itself is vital to the ways in which we understand the past, empathize with the hu-man condition and construct the future.

When you study art history, you do not simply look at a painting from the 16th century and de-scribe the colors you see and the people in the piece. First you synthesize political, social, eco-nomic, scientifi c, architectural, legal, geograph-ic, medical and cultural histories to understand the piece within the context of its time. Then, you take the narrative of the artist and integrate that into your understanding of the piece. Finally you consider the piece and how it infl uences and connects with artists and artworks of its time and of times to come. You rigorously dissect, translate and synthesize your initial reaction, the artist’s intention, the history that you know and the fu-ture that might follow. In studying art and art his-tory, you develop an aesthetic eye and a language that empowers you to understand more of what you see. You learn to look critically. You become an informed global citizen.

In my time studying art history at Duke, I have studied medicine and the use of cadavers during the Italian Renaissance, and theories of immigration, cultural development and urban planning; I have studied the chemistry of art materials and why some are more effective than others; I have studied dictators, peasants, sol-diers and teachers; I have studied international trade and economic development, the stock market, the history of food and literature and philosophies of the mirrored self and totemic societies; I have studied languages and the con-struction of the Latino/a identity and what it means to be from Latin America; I have studied feudalism, socialism, sexism, feminism, racism, communism, capitalism and federalism; I have studied the history of the press and media, the Bible, the Quran and the Torah. I’m sure many other courses of study at Duke incorporate all of these into their syllabi as well, and art history is no exception.

To all aspiring professionals in all fi elds, art and art history are crucial.

To all who wish to enter the investment-banking world, the art market will be your best frenemy as you start making bank. The art that

you buy and display in your various permanent and vacation homes will be a marker of your

wealth and sophistication. You must know art to compete with your friends and rivals alike. The artists you fund become an exten-sion of your cultural credibility.

The curators, art consultants and gallery owners that you know will help you become an arbiter of what’s hot on the market (read: make more bank) if you respect what they do and have some knowledge about the fi eld.

To those aspiring scientists and engineers, art will be how you understand the past and envision the future of your fi eld. It is how to communicate your ideas to others, how to become a part of so-ciety and how to make your fi eld accessible. Art provides great insight into the evolution of medi-cine and chemistry. Architecture is a refl ection of the values of societies and is studied alongside paintings and sculptures, as they are all part of the aesthetic and social landscape of cultures.

To all future politicians and policy makers, art can convey a message and drive a point home. Artists can create the way in which the masses relate to a public fi gure: Think of Shepard Fairey and his creation of the ever-popular red, white and blue Obama “Hope” poster. I suggest getting on board and understanding aesthetic discourse and how it can be helpful to your proj-ect. The Medicis did it—why not you?

To those who want to go into journalism, advertising or marketing, art can be the great-est tool of communication. When you present information, make a website or create a spread in a newspaper or magazine, you use design concepts. Having an “eye” will help your career. When reporting, knowledge of art will help you draw connections to other facets of life that you may not have known otherwise.

To all those who will be educating the next generations, art is a tool to encourage students to be imaginative and creative, analytic and de-scriptive. Through art—studying it or making it—students learn not only how to think deeply, but also how to express themselves. Students who create art and are comfortable with discus-sion are more self-aware, inquisitive, curious and refl ective about themselves and the world around them.

To those future curators, artists, art advisors, gallery owners and museum educators, I thank you for knowing this already.

To those in doubt, call me when you start col-lecting.

Molly Superfi ne is a Trinity senior.

In defense of art and art history

Leftover endorsementsRobert Lefkowitz for

Duke’s Most Awesome PersonThe editorial board would

like to endorse Dr. Robert Lefkowitz for most awesome person of 2012-2013 over head football coach David Cutcliffe. This decision was not an easy one. While both candidates evinced a high lev-el of expertise, both lacked the broad institutional knowledge necessary to fully fulfi ll the du-ties of this role. Bewilderingly, Cutcliffe seemed completely baffl ed when we grilled him about “the elucidation of the molecular properties and regulatory mechanisms con-trolling the function of G pro-tein-coupled receptors.” Simi-larly, Lefkowitz showed only a rudimentary understanding of the play-action, and demon-

strated little acuity for teach-ing open-fi eld tackling. Both candidates were similarly qual-ifi ed—Lefkowitz was recently honored with a Nobel Prize, and Cutcliffe coached Peyton

Manning. In the end, we re-lied on our tra-

ditional method for deciding between two indistinguishable candidates—a coin toss.

Miles Plumlee for Best Per-formance on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation”

In yet another close race, the editorial board has de-cided to endorse former bas-ketball star Miles Plumlee over comedic actress Retta, Trinity ’92, for Best Performance on NBC’s hit show “Parks and Recreation.” While Retta in the role of Donna Meagle has been a consistent and hilari-

ous performer on the show for all fi ve of its seasons, Plumlee’s performance as “tall guy the audience assumes is an NBA player because he’s standing next to Roy Hibbert” cannot be beat. His ability to look good in a cardigan, unironical-ly wear hipster glasses and be really, really tall distinguished his candidacy in an otherwise competitive year.

Two-Ply Toilet Paper for Most Necessary Thing

In this year’s race for Duke’s Most Necessary Thing, the editorial board would like to endorse Two-Ply Toilet Paper over One-Ply toi-let paper. To all but the most sensitive observer, these two candidates are indistinguish-able. Neither has institutional knowledge extending far be-yond facilities. Each has spent

the majority of their Duke experiences wrapped up in their own projects, confi ned to narrowly defi ned niches. However, Two-Ply demonstrat-ed a rare ability to respond to the diverse needs of the Duke community and a history of effective advocacy despite get-ting regularly pooh-poohed by the Man. While we applaud One-Ply’s commitment to the University and dutiful service, in the end we found it to be a little abrasive.

The Administration for Things Defi ning Duke

In the easiest call of the semester, the editorial board is endorsing the Administra-tion over Fun in this year’s race for Things Defi ning Duke. Fun offered a lot of intriguing benefi ts—it was far better positioned to con-

tribute to the overall happi-ness of the student body, and demonstrated a far better attunement to the needs of overstressed college students. However, we found Fun to be untrustworthy, diffi cult to pin down, inclined to vice and illegality and more likely to create a scandal propel-ling Duke into the national media spotlight. Further, we commend Alcohol Policy’s ability to be well-intentioned but willfully naive, as well as its supporter’s unique ca-pacity to say one thing and mean another. In the end, the choice is clear—Fun is an attractive candidate, but should not be taken seriously here at Duke.

In case you couldn’t tell, this editorial is a joke. Have a great break!

My name is Epworth. Epworth Inn.I know who you are. I see you walk by on

Wednesdays and Saturdays as you persevere toward that lofty goal: Shoot-ers. When you, albeit rarely, turn your gaze toward me, I am happy for but a moment. For I realize that I am noth-ing to you, nothing but a ves-sel for your post-Shooters ex-cremental urges. Sometimes, you give me hope. You enter my hallowed halls bearing boxes of Papa John’s, and you eat and laugh and talk and I am happy.

And then you hurl in my guest bathroom. Why? Why, I ask. I can be there for you in so many

more ways. I have heard of that vaunted, multi-purpose sex-cham-

ber—Belltower Residence Hall’s kitchen. How gauche. My kitchen has abetted the glories of fornication since 1894. Even today, I look on with pride as Epworth’s classes of 2015 and 2016 keep the tradition of the kitchen going. Keep it classy, children.

The very mention of “Gilbert-Addoms, second fl oor,” lets fall a hush amongst the crowd. Enter once the bowels of GA’s second fl oor and forever be lost. Be that as it may, my wide, empty halls and my basement will swallow you up much like other creaky, isolated, woods-surrounded white houses often do. Come, I welcome you to Duke’s own House of Horrors.

I will not discriminate; whether rich, poor, black, white, man, woman, LGBTQ or straight, you are all welcome (cough, Aycock). Furthermore, my neighbor is cocky enough to deny admittance to persons of cockroach-y and rat-like countenance (disgraceful). Not I. I must con-cede that such persons are admitted to the fi rst-fl oor and not a single place else, but they are admitted nonetheless. My roach population, an unparalleled predicament dur-ing the fi rst week of August 2012, was soon curbed by my growing rat population. And then there are the 50 or so Epworthy Epworthians.

Fumigation, you say?Fumigation, you say, and arriveth the entirety of the

fi re brigade. One need only utter one-half of the appel-lation ‘fume,’ and so help me, the constabulary, the fi re brigade (quite the steamy lot, I must say) and the curious will assault the rotting, wooden giant that is me, Epworth. Twice past have I burned, reduced to a third of my birth’s glory. Once more shall I burn as they tear me down to build another. But I digress. Stripped of my microwave due to its nature as a perilous, fi ery instrument, I can no longer feed my children. And they shun me much in the manner that you do.

Let them. For I am privy to the secrets of their cult. Let them shun me, and I will reveal all that I know of my masses, faces pale from never having reveled in Durham’s sun. Nights pass, and my walls cannot silence the sounds of debauchery. Sit in my commons, savor some popcorn and lend your ears to the doings of the rooms around.

As Epworth Inn, it is unbecoming of me to gripe. By virtue of my name, I must act the graceful, welcoming host. Please, come enjoy my uneven fl oors, walls and ceil-ings as you would enjoy the wonders of other amusement parks, places that exist for your entertainment. I cannot speak to my children’s opinions of your self-guided tours as you parade around the spectacle that I am. But little do you know, as you enter in awe, that you make a spectacle of yourself as you parade through my hallways.

I am Epworth. You may not believe that I exist. I may not exist. You have never, ever met a single soul from Epworth. I am the house, the myth, the legend. And so, I humbly offer my services as destination for K-ville’s 2014 scavenger hunt—let’s mind-f*** those lily-livered Crazies.

Israel knows the importance of the high ground.This is obvious to me as I stand atop Masada, a moun-

tain in the Judean desert. The plateau is covered in ruins of an ancient Roman pal-ace. Looking out from the plateau, the Dead Sea forms an extraordinary backdrop for a lifeless, monochromatic foreground dotted with ruins of four Roman siege camps.

According to the Roman-Jewish histo-rian Josephus, in 66 CE Jewish rebels over-took the Roman palace at Masada to pro-vide a base camp for Jewish resistance to religious persecution. Factions of rebels had coordinated efforts from Masada for years, while the Romans invaded Jerusalem and sieged the Sec-ond Temple, a holy place for Jews. In 73 CE, the Romans marched on Masada. They sent an army of an estimated 10 thousand soldiers to fi ght against the 960 men, women and children who inhabited the fortress.

When the Romans arrived, according to Josephus, the entire community had committed mass suicide. Legends say that the Jewish commanders ordered everything to be burned except the food, as a sign to the Romans that the death of the people was voluntary: They preferred death to slavery.

Thousands of years later, the story of Masada is a key cul-tural symbol for Israel, because still today, the Jewish people fi ght for the same land.

They create settlements atop Masada-like hills through-out the West Bank because, tactically, it makes sense. Israel knows the importance of the high ground.

Even as someone with no familial, religious or histori-cal connection to the state of Israel, after visiting the settle-ments for the fi rst time, I felt I could understand Israeli nationalism. The settlements are clean, developed and well-designed. Israel has had half a century to build a na-tion from nothing, and it has done an admirable job of it, even while constantly fi ghting due to unceasing attacks from all sides. From sands that had been declared unus-able, technology like drip irrigation and water recycling brought sustenance. From sands that had only ever known tyranny and imperialism, democracy emerged.

One evening, I stand on a settlement street looking out at the desert below, land made somehow more beautiful by the fact that so many consider it holy. It feels like look-ing out at the Dead Sea from the top of Masada—only, this time, with success, not defeat.

At the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem, a giant sculpture of a key lies atop the entrance arch to a camp

that is home to 4,700 Palestinians, most of whom are de-scendants of the people forced from their homes in the

1948 expulsion.Keys are a symbol in the camp. Many of

the Palestinians left their homes with the promise that they would return in a few days. With each day, their keys got heavier, loaded as they were with both tragic war stories and hopes of return. The keys are treasured fam-ily heirlooms. The present is often grim in the camp. There is an omnipresent budget crisis, with services like schools perpetually poorly funded. Overcrowding is rampant. Extended family living 20 minutes away can

be almost impossible to see due to Israeli security measures. In the midst of despair, people look to the eulogies and promises contained within the keys.

Nearby, on a hill that looks perfect for a settlement, Pal-estinian Daoud Nassar runs his family farm. He is a rare case in that he holds all of the paperwork from Ottoman, British, Jordanian and Israeli governance, and he had the resources to take on a years-long legal battle costing him upwards of $100,000. Because of his unique situation, Nas-sar has been allowed to keep his land despite its identifi ca-tion as prime settlement territory.

When Nassar speaks, he has a surprising calmness, gen-tleness and surety. His motto is: “We refuse to be enemies.” When building codes forbade construction on his land, he lived in the caves on his property, painting the walls to trans-form them into works of art. When the government tried to build a road through his property, he, with the help of the community, set up a road block. These days, the Nas-sar family plants olive trees and hosts programs for local schoolchildren and foreign volunteers who come from all corners of the world to encourage peace.

Once, an Israeli settler came to hear Nassar speak. He spoke about many Palestinians’ very limited access to clean freshwater. “We have swimming pools,” the settler said to him, her face white.

Walking through the streets of Bethlehem at night, I walk along a wall that divides the West Bank from Israel. It is covered in poetry about oppression. In the distance, I see hilltops in the West Bank covered in settlements, their lights twice as luminous as those of the city surrounding me.

I am on the Israeli settlement hill and in the Palestinian valley down below. I’ve split in two.

DSG responds to Daily Tar Heel articleWe are writing on behalf of Duke Student

Government to express our disappointment in UNC’s student-run newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel, for allowing the publication of the March 5 article, “Durham crime crosses over into Cha-pel Hill.” As collaborators on a variety of student issues on both campuses, we find it important to maintain healthy dialogue and conversation between Duke and UNC students. Unfortunate-ly, this article was not an example of productive discourse, nor was it logically sound or factually accurate.

We are deeply saddened that our friends at UNC—which, as the article points out, is a mere 10 miles away—note the lack of “fences” and “check points” between the two cities, as though such measures might be necessary. We must hold the The Daily Tar Heel accountable for approv-ing the article for publishing.

Standing with over 6,000 undergraduate Duke students who chose to make Durham their home, Duke Student Government encourages the The Daily Tar Heel to formally retract the article and apologize for the incendiary content. The rela-

tionship between Durham and Chapel Hill, both cities with prominent universities, must be cher-ished. This relationship contributes to positive college experiences fostered by sports rivalries and collaborative academic engagements. The article is not representative of the positive inter-action that occurs between Duke and UNC each and every day.

We acknowledge that there is crime in Dur-ham, but, as pointed out by a March 6 article in The Chronicle, Durham crime is at a 23-year low. It is counterproductive for UNC students to perpetuate the divide through articles such as the one printed in The Daily Tar Heel. DSG’s Durham and Regional Affairs Committee will continue forging important community relations through programs such as our Unity Dinner with both NCCU and UNC student governments and the Robertson Bus program, just to name a few.
