BELK BOWL BOUND Board hears updates on faculty growth

by Yeshwanth KandimallaTHE CHRONICLE

The Board of Trustees primarily focused their attention this weekend on long-term strategic goals of the University rather than major action items, said Board Chair Rich-ard Wagoner, Trinity ’75.

The Board received a presentation from Provost Peter Lange on the state of the University’s faculty. The presentation pro-vided a 10-year overview of the growth of the University as a research institution and the changing makeup of the faculty. Other updates included reviews of athletics and the School of Nursing.

“[Lange] presented very interesting metrics on faculty quality, and we also talk-ed about the composition of the faculty,” Wagoner said. “It’s what we talked about 12 years ago, and we’re actually following through on that.”

Duke performs very well on major indica-tors of faculty quality, ranking as the fourth most research-productive university in the country, Lange said. The University’s repu-tation reflects a “steep uptick” in the level of research expenditures. It ranked fifth na-tionally in research expenditures with $983 million spent on research in 2010.

Symposium to address lemur endangerment

A different kind of greek

by Raisa ChowdhuryTHE CHRONICLE

The students shouting on the Bald-win Auditorium steps Friday may have surprised some onlookers, but for oth-ers the probate signified the culmina-tion of the largely secret entry process into a cultural fraternity.

Duke’s eight historically black fra-ternities and sororities in the National Pan-Hellenic Council hold probate cer-emonies to present new members to the public and showcase performances by those new members of the organiza-tion. Whereas Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association members join through a formal recruitment pro-cess, prospective NPHC members seek out the organization they wish to join. Many students, however, have miscon-ceptions about probates and these or-

ganizations in general.“One of the issues that we deal with

is that more often than not, people will have no idea what’s going on when they see a whole lot of black people standing around yelling and screaming because there is a normalization of what greek life is on campus,” said senior Ehizele Osehobo, first vice president of NPHC and president of Phi Beta Sigma frater-nity. “IFC and Panhel are the largest councils on campus and so it’s natural that people would expect that to be what Greek life is about.”

IFC and Panhel are the largest greek councils on campus, so they come to de-fine many students’ expectations of what greek life means, Osehobo said. The NPHC and Inter-Greek Council—the EMILY YANG/CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

The Duke Lemur Center is hosting a symposium about lemur conservation Monday.

by Daniel CarpTHE CHRONICLE

Six weeks after earning bowl eligibil-ity for the first time since 1994 with a last-second victory against North Caro-lina, Duke finally has a date on its post-season calendar.

The Blue Devils have accepted an in-vitation to play at the Belk Bowl at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. and are set to square off with Cincin-nati Dec. 27 at 6:30 p.m. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN. Each team will receive a $1.7 million payout for its participation in the game.

“We are thrilled to announce that Duke University will be playing in the 2012 Belk Bowl against the University of Cincinnati,” said Will Webb, executive director of the Belk Bowl, in a press re-lease. “Duke has made great strides this season, and we are very proud to have them representing the ACC against the co-champions of the Big East. We feel that the Blue Devils will provide a good matchup against the Bearcats in Char-lotte. We look forward to hosting both Duke and Cincinnati, and their fans, for the 2012 Belk Bowl and all the sur-rounding events.”

After a 6-2 start, Duke (6-6) finished the 2012 regular season on a four-game losing streak, dropping conference tilts to Florida State, Clemson, Geor-gia Tech and Miami. A win in the Belk Bowl would clinch the team’s first win-ning season in 18 years and be the Blue Devils’ first bowl victory since the 1961 Cotton Bowl, when Duke defeated Ar-kansas 7-6.

The Blue Devils have made just two bowl appearances since then, falling to Texas Tech 49-21 at the 1989 All-Amer-ican Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. and suf-fering a 34-20 defeat to Wisconsin in the 1995 Hall of Fame Bowl.

The Bearcats (9-3) earned a share of the Big East championship this sea-son—their 5-2 conference record tied them with Louisville, Rutgers and Syr-acuse for the league title. A matchup with Duke will be Cincinnati’s second

exposure to the ACC this season. The Bearcats defeated Virginia Tech 27-24 in a neutral site game Sept. 27.

“One of the more attractive things about the Belk Bowl is [playing] such a quality opponent like Cincinnati, a team that has had so much success in recent years,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “It’s something that you’ve got to do. You’ve got to beat teams like that. You

Pentagon to greatly expand spy network

Egypt high court halts work amid political crisis

by Greg MillerTHE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will send hundreds of additional spies overseas as part of an ambitious plan to assemble an espionage network that rivals the CIA in size, U.S. officials said.

The project is aimed at transforming the Defense Intelligence Agency, which has been dominated for the past decade by the demands of two wars, into a spy service fo-cused on emerging threats and more close-ly aligned with the CIA and elite military commando units.

When the expansion is complete, the DIA is expected to have as many as 1,600 “collectors” in positions around the world, an unprecedented total for an agency whose presence abroad numbered in the triple digits in recent years.

The total includes military attachés and others who do not work undercover. But U.S. officials said the growth will be driven over a five-year period by the deployment of a new generation of clandestine opera-tives. They will be trained by the CIA and often work with the U.S. Joint Special Op-erations Command, but they will get their spying assignments from the Department of Defense.

Among the Pentagon’s top intelligence priorities, officials said, are Islamist mili-tant groups in Africa, weapons transfers by North Korea and Iran, and military mod-ernization underway in China.

“This is not a marginal adjustment for DIA,” the agency’s director, Lt. Gen. Mi-chael T. Flynn, said at a recent conference, during which he outlined the changes but did not describe them in detail. “This is a major adjustment for national security.”

The sharp increase in DIA undercover operatives is part of a far-reaching trend: a convergence of the military and intelli-gence agencies that has blurred their once-distinct missions, capabilities and even their leadership ranks.

Through its drone program, the CIA now accounts for a majority of lethal U.S. operations outside the Afghan war zone.

At the same time, the Pentagon’s plan to create what it calls the Defense Clandestine Service, or DCS, reflects the military’s lat-est and largest foray into secret intelligence work.

The DIA overhaul—combined with the growth of the CIA since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — will create a spy network of unprecedented size. The plan reflects the Obama administration’s affinity for espionage and covert action over conven-tional force. It also fits in with the admin-istration’s efforts to codify its counterter-rorism policies for a sustained conflict and assemble the pieces abroad necessary to carry it out.

Unlike the CIA, the Pentagon’s spy agency is not authorized to conduct covert operations that go beyond intelligence gathering, such as drone strikes, political sabotage or arming militants.

But DIA has long played a major role in assessing and identifying targets for U.S. forces, which in recent years have assem-bled a constellation of drone bases stretch-ing from Afghanistan to East Africa.

The expansion of the agency’s clandes-tine role is likely to heighten concerns that it will be accompanied by an escalation in lethal strikes and other operations outside public view. Because of differences in legal authorities, the military isn’t subject to the same congressional notification require-ments as the CIA, leading to potential over-sight gaps.

U.S. officials said that DIA’s realignment won’t hamper congressional scrutiny. “We have to keep congressional staffs and mem-bers in the loop,” Flynn said in October, adding that he believes the changes will help the United States anticipate threats and avoid being drawn more directly into what he predicted will be an “era of persis-tent conflict.”

U.S. officials said the changes for DIA were enabled by a rare syncing of person-alities and interests among top officials at the Pentagon and CIA, many of whom

by Stephanie McCrummenTHE WASHINGTON POST

CAIRO — Egypt’s top judges suspended work indefinitely after Islamist supporters of President Mohammed Morsi swarmed the highest court Sunday, chanting “We will not leave!” shouting insults and block-ing the judges from entering on the day they had been expected to dissolve the country’s Islamist-dominated constitution-writing panel.

In a statement from the Supreme Consti-tutional Court that underlined the increas-ingly personal conflict between Morsi and the judiciary, the judges described a cam-paign of “moral assassination” against them and said an “environment charged with ha-tred and malice and the need for revenge” led to Sunday’s “appalling and shameful scene.”

The 19 judges—appointed during the regime of President Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted nearly two years ago — said they would suspend work until they were able to continue “without being subject to moral or physical pressure.”

It was another day in Egypt’s rocky, emo-tionally charged democratic transition, one in which the revolutionaries who drove out Mubarak are increasingly divided, with Islamists on one side and liberals, secular-ists —and, increasingly, the judiciary—on the other in the quest to forge a modern identity.

Morsi, who is backed by the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, has been in a power struggle with the judiciary since his election in June. The high court dissolved the demo-cratically elected Islamist-majority parlia-ment just as Morsi was taking office, severely curtailing his power. And the judges had been widely expected on Sunday to dissolve the constitution-drafting assembly, domi-nated by Islamists.

But Morsi has pushed back hard, issuing a constitutional decree Nov. 22 that places nearly all his actions temporarily beyond ju-dicial review and pushing the constitution-writing panel to approve the nation’s new charter Friday.

Among its many provisions, the charter shrinks the number of judges on the high court from 19 to 11. Despite large opposi-tion protests to his moves all week, Morsi on Saturday called for a Dec. 15 national ref-erendum on the charter, a vote that will re-quire the supervision of the judiciary, which he seems only to be enraging further.

Muslim Brotherhood officials staged a massive demonstration Saturday to show support for Morsi but said they had not ordered Sunday’s protest outside the high court. But members of the intensely hierar-chical organization rarely take such steps in-dependently, and several protesters outside the court Sunday openly identified them-selves as members of the group.

Heba Morayef, Egypt director in the Middle East and North Africa division of Human Rights Watch, said that Sunday’s confrontation was all the more perplexing and distressing because Morsi had seemed in recent days to be winning his battle with the judiciary.

“To choose to do that at a time like this, it’s not just adding insult to injury, this is a full onslaught,” she said. “Intimidation of judges is an extremely serious matter. For Morsi’s party to be involved in that is a terri-fying precedent. We do not want to get into a situation where those who criticize the president have to fear for their lives.”

Morayef said that although the judiciary needs reform, Morsi’s tactics were counter-productive in achieving a goal that most of the country supports.

Khaled Abu Bakr, a legal expert with the International Union of Lawyers, said Sun-day’s demonstration was essentially a crime.

“The president and the Interior Ministry should protect judicial institutions and en-able the judges to do their jobs,” he said.

Abu Bakr added that Morsi could have easily called off the protests outside the court.

“There is a battle between the consti-tutional court and the president,” he said. “Even the head of the constitution-drafting assembly session said that we are practicing constitutional revenge.”SEE SPIES ON PAGE 8

Endowed professorships across many departments have contributed to the quality of fac-ulty, Lange added. The ongoing capital campaign, Duke Forward, aims to raise $250 million for more than 100 new endowed fac-ulty chairs.

In terms of demographics, the faculty has shifted to older, ten-ured professors, a trend that the University should counterbalance by hiring younger professors, who tend to be paid less, as they actively pursue their research tracks, Lange said. The faculty re-view, however, refers to the broad outlook of the University, and in-dividual departments will evalu-ate their needs as they hire new members.

The faculty’s racial and gender composition has become more diverse, Lange noted. The Uni-versity has substantially increased the number of black and female faculty, but women are still sig-nificantly underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

“We always focus on back-ground and diversity,” Lange said. “Unfortunately, for women in the STEM fields, those numbers are not rising as fast at Duke or else-where.”

Wagoner noted that the Board wants to maintain active commu-nication with the faculty. He pre-sented to the Academic Council at its meeting Thursday, becom-ing the first chair to do so.

Director of Athletics Kevin White also presented a strategic overview of Duke athletics. His presentation included informa-tion about the department’s fi-nances, compliance with NCAA regulations and the academic performance of athletes.

Duke maintains rigorous prac-tices to ensure high academic performance among student athletes, White wrote in an email Sunday. Administrators must “stay nervous” and constantly moni-tor the balance of athletics and academics to avoid scandals like those at other programs such at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“We came away very impressed with the amount of resources Duke puts in [academics among ath-letes], along with learning more about the potential risks and how we can manage those,” Wagoner said. “It’s about who you hire.”

White added that Duke For-ward will help fund major fa-cilities improvements, including renovations to Wallace Wade Sta-dium, Cameron Indoor Stadium and a new track and field stadi-um. Athletics, which aims to raise $250 million through Duke For-ward, has allocated $100 million for these facility improvements. A $10 million gift in October will create a new building to house a ticket office, department offices and additional training facilities.

White also gave the Trustees a better frame of reference on con-ference realignment, Wagoner said, following the departure of the University of Maryland from

the ACC and the addition of the University of Louisville. President Richard Brodhead said Duke was committed to staying in the ACC in an interview last week.

The Board also heard a detailed presentation about Duke’s School of Nursing, which has expanded its programs in the last decade and recently broke ground on a $20.2 million building addition in October. Catherine Gilliss, dean of the School of Nursing and He-

lene Fuld Health Trust professor of nursing, noted the growth of the school along with its current operations. The nursing school rose from 15th place in the U.S. News and World Report Rankings in 2007 to seventh place this year.

She also wants to pursue great-er collaboration with the other schools and initiatives at the Uni-versity, Michael Evans, director of communications for the school, said last week.

In other businessThe Board approved a resolu-

tion of tribute honoring Dr. Rob-ert Lefkowitz, James B. Duke pro-fessor of medicine. Lefkowitz was named one of two Nobel Prize winners in chemistry in October for his research in cell receptors.

The Trustees greenlighted construction of a chilled water project, estimated to cost $10 mil-lion, that will cool buildings on East Campus.

other cultural greek council at Duke—are not as well known on campus and struggle with balancing how to target a specific group while still appealing to the broader Duke community, he added.

“I’ve talked to people about why they don’t come to black parties and they say, ‘I don’t want to be the only white guy there,’ or a girl says that if she’s dancing on a black boy, she doesn’t want some black girl coming up to her telling her to get off of her man,” Osehobo added. “Basically people don’t want to be the minority and aren’t used to it. I go to class, and I’m one of the few black peo-ple there. I want to be normalized the same way that IFC and Panhel are so I can put up a flyer and everyone consid-ers coming.”

Junior Ciera Price, president of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority, noted that her or-ganization wants to branch out beyond the black community.

“You don’t have to be afraid to come to the events that are hosted by a cul-tural organization if you’re not that eth-nicity,” she added. “I would hope most people at Duke are able to go and have interactions with different groups.”

Price said that students can begin exposing themselves to diversity even if they have not in the past.

NPHC organizations are grounded in their history, defined by combating dis-crimination, producing members who help improve black communities and a philosophy of an “inclusive we,” Ohe-sobo said. Therefore, they focus more on service compared to IFC and Panhel organizations that focus more on social life, he added.

“We don’t want people who just want letters across their chest,” Osehobo said. “The benefit of our organizations is that people want to join us. It’s not shotgun—spread it out to everyone and see who bites.”

The NPHC does not have a formal rush process. Instead, interested stu-dents must be proactive and do research on their own by going to different aca-demic and social events held by the or-ganizations.

“The reason people are screaming and being so hyped is because people have gone through such a long process and have a lot of pride,” Osehobo said. “Because of the amount of preparation that goes in, it really means a lot by the point of the probate.”

It is important for members to be very informed because joining an NPHC or-ganization is a lifelong commitment and so it’s very important to pick the right one, said junior Floyd Wilks, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity president.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity held a probate on the steps of Baldwin Audi-torium Friday, which approximately 200 students attended, Wilks said.

“Our probate went really well, and the boys that joined did a really good job of being really intense,” Wilks said. “The thing that kind of sucks is sometimes it’s not understandable [to onlookers].”

Though the Facebook event for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity’s probate Friday was not visible to the public, Wilks said it was open to everyone, but the person who made the Facebook event forgot to make it public.

Probate times and locations are often painted on the bridge and publicized us-ing tools such as Facebook.

“Probates are not meant to be secret,”

Osehobo said. “People just don’t take notice.... We don’t want it to seem that NPHC is going out of their way to hide things,” Osehobo said.

Some, however, see secrecy as an im-portant aspect of the internal affairs of these greek organizations.

For Wilks, the tendency for secrecy arises from the personal nature of the process of joining an NPHC fraternity.

“Part of the NPHC is that we value se-crecy and having that type of secrecy sets us apart from any other African Ameri-can organization,” Wilks said. “Groups in general value secrecy a lot when it comes to certain information that only

members should know.”This approach also has its detractors.Sophomore Greg McLean, for in-

stance, describes himself as involved with the black community at Duke, but he does not consider himself to be in-formed about NPHC organizations.

“It’s good that they know the people joining are seriously interested in join-ing... and that they’ll become involved members,” McLean said. “But it’s a bad thing in that I don’t think they’re nec-essarily transparent enough, and I think that puts a lot of people off. Maybe if they told more about themselves more people would be interested.”

“That’s like, AIDS on your face right?” I in-stinctively froze. We were in the middle of the Bryan Center on a bustling career-fair

day. Some of the girls tottered over in heels to look at the table I was standing behind. A few stiff, buttoned-up boys briefly glanced at the homemade marker post-er—“FACE AIDS,” it read, “Can you dance for the fight?”—before turning away, satisfied that we weren’t a recruiting company. Still, a few students I knew stopped by for a quick, casual chat before heading off. So I didn’t think it was unnatural when I shouted over the crowd to a classmate that I hadn’t really talked to for over a semester. He sauntered over. His eyes caught sight of the poster, and forgoing any form of greeting, he made the opening comment that connected the name of the organization with having AIDS on your face. Of course it was a joke. After all, it took him almost half a minute to finish laughing enough for me to get a word in. Yes, maybe that name lends itself to misinterpretations, misspellings and snide remarks, but the fact that this experience has been shared by many who are a part of this organization on Duke’s campus reveals a much deeper skewed, some-times unknowledgeable view of what HIV/AIDS now looks like.

The comment, although not intended to be construed seriously, made me think. What does AIDS on your face look like? Maybe two decades ago, it would have looked like a gaunt, gay man as he faced doctors who told him that AIDS was essentially a death sentence. Maybe in the 1990s, it would have looked like a seem-ingly healthy, infallible man like Magic Johnson as he stood before the press to announce his status. Today, to many students, it may be the pictures of young children and women in sub-Saharan Africa who have been revived by the power of antiretroviral drugs—people who are somehow in need of student volunteer services. Sometimes, there is no face at all. Perhaps it’s

choosing a product to support the RED cam-paign spearheaded by Bono. In many minds, I doubt that it’s even that—it’s just a word, an ac-

ronym that stands for some sort of suffering far, far away. And in many ways, those ways of thinking about it wouldn’t be completely wrong. Maybe at one point in

time, that was the face of AIDS. But that’s not what it looks like today.

Today, AIDS can look like, well, just about anyone. With advances in antiretroviral drugs, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, and the development of a vaccine in the works, the rate of new cases of HIV has hit a plateau. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for an AIDS-free generation during the International AIDS Conference this summer. There are still visible high-risk groups—intravenous drug us-ers, commercial sex workers, children of HIV-positive mothers—but 25 years after the first World AIDS Day was celebrated, the face of AIDS has changed. In many ways, it has lost that easily generalizable public face. Now, it may be the idealistic, young, Peace Corps vol-unteer who made an impulsive decision one night. It may be lively children who will live with AIDS their whole lives. It may be students on this campus.

AIDS on your face? Yes, it’s an easy joke. You’re allowed to poke and prod at it just as much as the next issue, but at least take the mo-ment to think about what that comment means. What does AIDS look like today? The truth is, I don’t really know anymore. All I know is that I’ve seen many of those faces. Sometimes I’ve known because the stories have been entrusted to me. Other times I don’t. But to someone who is positive, that comment would not be a joke because the reality is that they have to face AIDS every single day. If nothing else, we can at least respect that.

joy liuguest column

Last Wednesday, Dean of Arts and Sciences Laurie Pat-ton outlined her vision for the Duke undergraduate liberal arts education, in which Duke students would seamlessly in-tegrate many diverse interests into a single course of study, driven more by the weaving together of fl ex-ible and intersecting passions than the accumulation of dis-crete credentials. We support Patton’s emphasis on integra-tion but believe integration must be practiced in measure. Integration, practiced without moderation or thoughtfulness, may create an overly customiz-able choose-your-own-adven-ture approach to education where students integrate vari-ous interests before—and at the expense of—gaining a sol-

id foundation in the academic discipline of their choice. In order for meaningful integra-tive learning to take place, Duke needs to solidify its in-tradisciplinary curriculum

before working towards the in-terdisciplinary

goals Patton has articulated.The undergraduate edu-

cation is broken into three rough phases. The fi rst phase is pre-major exploration, in which students collect infor-mation about various fi elds they may be interested, ulti-mately ending in the declara-tion of a major fi eld of study. After major declaration, stu-dents begin specializing, fi rm-ly establishing profi ciency in the premises and methodolo-gies of their respective fi elds. The third phase—where we

believe true integrated learn-ing lies—is applying the tools from their major to problems connected to but outside of their major. But the quality of integrated learning in the third phase depends crucially on the quality of foundational learning in the second phase, and we hope Patton remains highly cognizant of this fact.

Too many students gradu-ate from Duke without un-derstanding the basic under-pinnings of their major fi eld of study. In other words, they never fully digest their disci-pline’s core or canon, its basic principles and the nature of its inquiries. Disturbingly, these students never attain any fl uen-cy in the parlance of their ma-jor, the language that the main practitioners use to tackle rele-vant questions. That is why, for

example, some students in up-per-level English electives lack basic tools of textual analysis. In the quest for interdisciplinary and personalized education, students start to lack a shared intellectual foundation with their peers, particularly in the humanities. By not preserving the integrity of specialization, interdisciplinarity also suffers as students have no intellectual home base to speak from.

Only after achieving a cer-tain mastery of their major can students genuinely explore how other disciplines might be integrated into their intel-lectual life. In this third phase of the undergraduate educa-tion, Duke students fl ex their academic muscles—trained through rigorous study within their major—to apply force to problems outside of their

major. Without any serious at-tempt at specialization fi rst, students attempting integrated learning are more likely to be wandering dilettantes, bereft of any practiced methods. Pat-ton has a sizeable task ahead of her: Strengthening knowl-edge within the major while encouraging integration with intellectual projects outside of the major. It is a charge that may seem diffi cult and even contradictory at times, but one that is crucial to Patton’s goal of integrated learning. If the liberal arts curriculum is supposed to be more than the sum of its parts, the requisite parts—including, most impor-tantly, one’s major—must fi rst be sound themselves. In tomor-row’s editorial, we attempt to provide some more concrete strategies to that end.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22,” sings Taylor Swift on her most recent album, and I think it’s a line that’s indica-tive of the situation I fi nd myself in as my time at Duke begins

to end. It also might be indicative of my general attitudes that in a column that is supposed to encapsulate my views on satire, the Swift I chose to quote was Taylor, not Jonathan.

But fi rst, to the formalities: I am, or at least was, the Grumpy Trustee. I fi gured I should say that explicitly, in case you were confused as to what this column is about, and why there’s a new guy on the opinion pages this Monday. Also, congrats Stewart: You got it right that one night at Sati’s.

Normally, this column takes the form of a grand defense of the offensive tools one uses to create satire, but because my targets were perhaps a little too direct, and be-cause the offensive things I said were couched in old-timey prose that probably bored most into apathy, I don’t think that defense needs to be made.

For that reason, I’m going to try a different tack, and make an argument about what I was bemoaning in all of the non-political columns I wrote this semester (for the obvious reason that my political satire was so effective that it doesn’t need a defense. I’m pretty sure I single-handedly won Barack re-election). In short, the message is this: Duke is changing, and I’m not sure it’s for the better.

Philosophically, the University has recently taken the tack that being “academic,” inquisitive and invested in the funda-mental problems of society, is diametrically opposed to “fun,” represented by all the dumb college-y things we engage in on a regular basis.

It is not an unreasonable point: If you spend time engaging in one type of activity, it may become diffi cult to engage in the other. It’s also easy to see the largest excesses of “fun,” when it leads to dozens of EMS calls (or worse), and to question whether the University should allow such behavior.

So, should a school that fancies its students the leaders of to-morrow support those same students dressing up like squirrels on weekends, and looking like sophomoric idiots? I would respond by simply saying, “absolutely.” At a certain point, the ideological pursuit of perfection becomes self-defeating and ignores all the delightful messiness that occurs on the sides of life.

I loved my classes at Duke. Choosing to be an English major for no “practical” (a crushing word if there ever was one) reason was the best decision I made in college, and I’ve actively savored every class I’ve taken in that department. I’ll remember professor Ferraro’s “Billy Budd”-related double entendres and the actual method to Melville’s madness, as well as anything else in college.

Even though I enjoy academia, I still spend a lot of time won-dering whether if, in the school’s attempts to emphasize academic pursuits, we’re drifting toward better inquiry, or simply trendier inquiry. No amount of “humanities labs” can substitute for the simple virtue of a well-taught seminar. Programs like DukeEn-gage can often be great, but it still stuns me how many people return from them convinced of the utter hopelessness of civic service. Increasingly, it seems to me that the greatest enemies of academia aren’t drunk college bros, but academics themselves, more invested in appearing innovative instead of doing the leg-work to be truly innovative.

But I’m not here to provide solutions. I really just want to en-courage everyone to savor the stupid stuff, the fun side of Duke, because the chances to be young and foolish vanish slowly as col-lege ends. Going to a Christmas party in Cookie Monster paja-mas and singing “Semi-Charmed Life” loudly in my fraternity’s common room didn’t prevent me from enjoying my classes. It shouldn’t prevent anyone else.

College is fun. It’s also, in various parts, heartbreaking, hilari-ous, stupid, brilliant and everything in between. You’ll have un-believable relationships develop, break and solve themselves in the long run. You’ll never be more embarrassed about the things you did, but you’ll never laugh more about the same things. You should do everything the clichés tell you to. Major in what you love (or, more practically, second major in it). Dive into awkward-ness. Experience everything. Make friends you never thought you would.

And above all, remember this: These four years are but a brief bit of your life, and you’re a fool if you don’t take advantage of every goddamn second.

Harry Liberman is a Trinity senior, who clearly has gotten affl icted with second-semester senior nostalgia a little earlier than most. Also, yes, this column is wildly unfocused. Come at me if that’s a problem.

Shaping our celebration of racial integrationI’m looking forward to the activities and pro-

gramming that will note the 50th anniversary of the fi rst black students at Duke. The Chronicle’s Nov. 27 report on the plans, “Duke will conduct a yearlong celebration to honor 50th anniversary of racial integration,” indicates that many have already dedicated time and talent to planning this “yearlong celebration.” However, one aspect of that news story leaves me with some strategic concerns.

In my judgment, the measure of the anniver-sary project’s success will depend on the active engagement and leadership of diverse adminis-trative, student and student-services communi-ties. Of course we should anticipate that those with nominative interests in black students and/or black culture will be prominent participants. If those are the only voices we hear from, how-ever, we’ve lost the opportunity to model the principles we claim to celebrate. In fact, one

opportunity to articulate a principled practice of diversity is already lost with the institution’s support of BSAI weekend. It’s an irony that the anniversary of our desegregation will be cel-ebrated with a contemporary version of segrega-tion. Although it is disappointing that the BSAI weekend decision no longer has an opportunity to be shaped by a community’s principles rather than political expediencies, I sincerely hope that the rest of the anniversary plans manage to avoid that disappointing paradigm.

In my judgment, a community that values di-versity and inclusion might best articulate these values by shaping a celebration that will depend on, anticipate, name and encourage a diverse community of celebrants. If we start from that premise, we might see a Duke that mirrors the event it celebrates.

The fall semester is quickly coming to a close. By now most of the senior class is either safe for employment or frantically applying to

grad schools and jobs. Some of us are still trying to fi gure out what we want to do for a living. We have reached a critical point in our lives; the next steps we take can dramatically alter our personal journeys. The feeling of urgency lies mostly with seniors, but undergraduates of all classes are discerning what they should do after Duke. Put more deeply, they are dis-cerning who they want to become. I cannot answer these questions for you, but I can impart a little senior experience to frame them.

The most common mistake I see people make is the pursuit of a career path in the name of money or material gain. At Duke this is visible in the so-called Big Four phenomenon. For those of you un-aware of the career vernacular, the Big Four are: pre-law, pre-med, fi nance and consulting. Note that all of these are solid jobs, and ones highly valued by society. I do not take issue that so many people fl ock to such high-paying jobs. Money is a society’s standard of value, and what these professions do are extremely important to society. However, there are defi nitely people picking these jobs for the money and that’s the unfortunate part. Money is necessary for survival, but pay alone is a terrible reason to choose a career path.

Importance to society, another mistaken mo-tive I see, is widely regarded as a nobler motive. As they say, it’s not about the money. It’s about help-ing others. There is nothing inherently wrong with helping others. Though I express strong dis-dain for government entitlements, I strongly ad-vocate private citizens trying to make the world a better place in whatever way suits them. That be-ing said, picking careers like research, social work or the armed forces in the name of serving society disregards the fact that many other jobs (includ-ing the Big Four) do wonders for the common good. Doctors and lawyers are more obviously im-portant, but a strong banking system and efficient management practices are also vital to a healthy economy. Loans and other investments provide for the growth of businesses across the nation and allow people to plan their futures into retirement. Consulting firms help to maximize the productiv-ity of existing companies (including charities and hospitals), benefiting everyone. The larger issue I

take with a societal motivation is the fact that the needs and wants of others have become the vali-dation for what you choose to do with your life.

This alone is an equally terrible rea-son to choose a career path. Note that in saying “others,” I’m includ-ing people who aim exclusively to satisfy their parents’ wishes or cul-tural expectations.

When it comes down to it, there is exactly one valid motive for deter-mining how to live your life. That motive is your own rational self-in-terest. You should make your career choices based upon what you believe

will make you happiest in the long run. Don’t pick a big four job because it’s high-paying; pick one because the work makes you happy and because you see value in it. Don’t go for research or social service for the sake of others; go for it because you fi nd your research fascinating or because you ob-tain a sense of personal fulfi llment from helping others. Do it because you think it’s a good way for you to make the world a better place. No matter which path you take, you and you alone have the right to your own life.

In choosing any other motive, you will inevita-bly fail in one of two places. Scenario one is job failure. The fact that you’re miserable marks ev-erything you do, and it shows in the quality of your work and in your interactions with others. Scenar-io two is more subtle. Everyone is happy with the work you do … except you. You wake up one day and realize that you made a terrible mistake. You let the validation of others, through money, praise or prestige, stop you from choosing the life that you wanted to live.

As I said before, I cannot tell you what path you should take. I cannot tell you because I cannot pos-sibly know what makes you happy. You have a life, and that life is yours to live. We’re all Duke stu-dents here. We’re fairly smart people, and I fi rmly believe that every single student on this campus can fi nd what makes him or her happy and pursue it righteously.

This is my last column as an opinion writer. Thank you all for reading.

switched from one organization to the other to take their current jobs.

“The stars have been aligning on this for a while,” said a former senior U.S. military official involved in planning the DIA transformation. Like most others interviewed for this article, the former official spoke on the condition of ano-nymity because of the classified nature of the program.

The DIA project has been spearheaded by Michael Vick-ers, the top intelligence official at the Pentagon and a vet-eran of the CIA.

Agreements on coordination were approved by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a former CIA director, and retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, who resigned abruptly as CIA chief last month over an extramarital affair.

The Pentagon announced the DCS plan in April but de-tails have been kept secret. Former senior Defense Depart-ment officials said that the DIA now has about 500 “case officers,” the term for clandestine Pentagon and CIA op-eratives, and that the number is expected to reach between 800 and 1,000 by 2018.

Pentagon and DIA officials declined to discuss specifics. A senior U.S. defense official said the changes will affect thousands of DIA employees, as analysts, logistics special-ists and others are reassigned to support additional spies.

The plan still faces some hurdles, including the chal-lenge of creating “cover” arrangements for hundreds of ad-ditional spies. U.S. embassies typically have a set number of slots for intelligence operatives posing as diplomats, most of which are taken by the CIA.

The project has also encountered opposition from poli-cymakers on Capitol Hill, who see the terms of the new arrangement as overly generous to the CIA.

The DIA operatives “for the most part are going to be working for CIA station chiefs,” needing their approval to enter a particular country and clearance on which infor-mants they intend to recruit, said a senior congressional official briefed on the plan. “If CIA needs more people working for them, they should be footing the bill.”

Pentagon officials said that sending more DIA opera-tives overseas will shore up intelligence on subjects that the CIA is not able or willing to pursue. “We are in a position to contribute to defense priorities that frankly CIA is not,” the senior Defense Department official said.

The project was triggered by a classified study by the di-rector of national intelligence last year that concluded that key Pentagon intelligence priorities were falling into gaps created by the DIA’s heavy focus on battlefield issues and CIA’s extensive workload. U.S. officials said DIA needed to be repositioned as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan give way to what many expect will be a period of sporadic con-flicts and simmering threats requiring close-in intelligence work.

“It’s the nature of the world we’re in,” said the senior defense official, who is involved in overseeing the changes at the DIA. “We just see a long-term era of change before things settle.”

The CIA is increasingly overstretched. Obama admin-istration officials have said they expect the agency’s drone campaign against al-Qaida to continue for at least a decade more, even as the agency faces pressure to stay abreast of is-sues including turmoil across the Middle East. Meanwhile, the CIA hasn’t met ambitious goals set by former president George W. Bush to expand its own clandestine service.

CIA officials including John D. Bennett, director of the National Clandestine Service, have backed DIA’s plan. It “amplifies the ability of both CIA and DIA to achieve the best results,” said CIA spokesman Preston Golson.

Defense officials stressed that the DIA has not been given any new authorities or permission to expand its total payroll. Instead, the new spy slots will be created by cutting or converting other positions across the DIA workforce, which has doubled in the past decade—largely through absorption of other military intelligence entities—to about 16,500.

Vickers has given the DIA an infusion of about $100 million to kick-start the program, officials said, but the agency’s total budget is expected to remain stagnant or decline amid mounting financial pressures across the gov-ernment.

DIA’s overseas presence already includes hundreds of diplomatic posts—mainly defense attachés, who represent the military at U.S. embassies and openly gather informa-tion from foreign counterparts. Their roles won’t change, officials said. The attachés are part of the 1,600 target for the DIA, but such “overt” positions will represent a declining share amid the increase in undercover slots, officials said.

The senior Defense official said DIA has begun filling the first of the new posts.

some ideas,” said DLC conservation coordinator Char-lie Welch. “We are not expecting to come up with one-line solutions, but maybe with a group of people like this together, we can come up with some ideas that might help.”

Participants at the symposium will discuss an array of topics, ranging from the challenges of conservation in Madagascar to the implications of combatting tim-ber thieves.

Welch noted that there will be disagreements on current conservation efforts in Madagascar because different opinions will arise based on an individual’s designated field of study.

Sociologists who attend the symposium, for ex-ample, believe that conservationists have overstepped their boundaries and, instead of achieving what it seeks to accomplish, is hurting communities, he added.

One such example is slash-and-burn agriculture—whereas most conservationists maintain that the prac-tice is detrimental to the environment, sociologists at the symposium will claim efforts to stop the widely used practice will hurt communities who rely on this traditional farming technique.

Lou Brown, education and outreach associate at the Kenan Institute and visiting associate professor of cultural anthropology, said the differing perspectives elucidate that issues in Madagascar are multidimen-sional and require studying multiple fields.

“You can’t stay in your silo and only study biodiver-sity or only study the relationship between society and the natural world,” she said. “You have to work in dif-ferent disciplines or you won’t have a complete under-standing of everything.”

The symposium will close with an open discussion on the topics presented throughout the day and where participants stand on varying viewpoints.

“It’s a very, very complex problem in and of it-self and it’s good for people to see that,” Welch said. “Americans tend to oversimplify things into black and white where you’ve got the good guys and the bad guys, but it’s just not that simple.”

The symposium will run from 9:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday in West Duke 101.

No. 4 Duke defeats No. 10 Cal at Cameronby Nick Martin

THE CHRONICLE

If defense wins championships, then head coach Joanne P. McCallie and the No. 4 Blue Devils should have a lot to look forward to this season.

Duke held No. 10 California to 20 first half points and outrebounded a physical Golden Bear team, easily notching a 77-63 victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium Sunday afternoon.

“We knew coming into the game that they were going to be physical and it was going to be a bloodbath out there,” junior guard Chelsea Gray said.

The game actually opened in California’s favor, leading 13-10 with just over 14 minutes remaining in the half. That would be the last time the Golden Bears had the lead, how-ever. After a layup by senior center Talia Caldwell pulled the Golden Bears within five with eight minutes left, the Blue Devils (6-0) went on a 10-0 run, putting the game in their control for the remainder of the contest.

The Golden Bears (6-1), led by head coach Lindsay Gottlieb, shot an underwhelming 21.9 percent from the field in the first half, mostly thanks to a swarming Blue Devil defense that produced 13 turnovers and five steals in the opening half.

“We started off pretty hot, and they were hot. And then we missed a couple shots and that made us tighten up,” Gottlieb said.

Sophomore center Elizabeth Williams, who is still re-covering from a stress fracture in her left leg, set the defen-sive tone early, registering two blocks in only six minutes of playing time in the first half. She finished the game with four blocks, as well as 12 points and five rebounds.

Williams, however, was used sparingly in the first half due to foul trouble, making way for senior center Allison Vernerey to come off the bench, and she put forth a six-point, seven-rebound effort.

The rest of the game belonged to Tricia Liston and the Blue Devils’ zone defense. Frustrating the Golden Bears

constantly, Duke mixed between a full-court and half-court press, falling back into a zone that was bolstered by Gray and Williams, who combined for six blocks and four steals.

“I thought [Duke] did a nice job of spreading out our guard play and yet still collapsing on our post,” Gottlieb said.

Although Gray struggled from the field, she made her

presence felt on defense by grabbing eight rebounds, tying with Liston to lead the team. On the offensive side of the court, Gray and Liston ran the drive-and-kick to perfec-tion, with Liston knocking down 9-of-16 shots, including two 3-pointers.

Blue Devils split dual meet at Northwesternby Lopa Rahman

THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils split their opening dual matches of the season, falling to No. 13 Northwestern 33-12 and defeating Stevens Tech, an unranked Division III team, 33-15 in Evanston, Ill. Saturday evening.

“I think our guys are stepping up and starting to compete a little harder,” Duke head coach Glen Lanham said.

Two Blue Devils, redshirt sophomore Brandon Gambucci and redshirt fresh-man Dylan Ryan, won both bouts that they competed in. Eight of the nine Duke wres-tlers won at least one match.

Ryan, who is called “Rhino” by his coaches and teammates, struggled in the early-season tournaments, posting a 0-6 re-cord. Lanham emphasized improvement throughout the season over records, not-ing that if wrestlers perform well in the final test of the season—the ACC tourna-ment—they will secure themselves bids to the NCAA meet.

This weekend, Ryan was an example of the improvement that Lanham hopes to see in his wrestlers.

“Rhino did a great job of adjusting his attitude and technique,” Lanham said. “Rhino is capable of wrestling at a high level, but he needed to have the attitude that he can compete and win. He changed his attitude and transferred what he did in the room to what he did on the mat.”

Ryan, fellow redshirt freshman Mar-cus Cain and Gambucci were the only Blue Devils to win their matches against the Wildcats. In the Keystone Clas-sic Nov. 18, Ryan lost to Northwestern senior Marcus Shrewsbury 5-4 in the 184-pound weight class, and Cain lost

to Wildcat sophomore Dylan Marriott 7-5 in the 149-pound division. Ryan and Cain avenged these close losses Saturday, defeating the same opponents in hard-fought matches.

Lanham believes that like Ryan, Cain made adjustments in practice that helped him come away with the win against a tough Northwestern opponent the second time around.

“Marcus made some nice adjustments,” Lanham said. “The assistant coaches worked with him on a couple areas of at-tack. He really got those down. He did a great job with his defense as well.”

Just minutes after losing to the Wildcats, the Blue Devils retook the mat against Ste-vens Tech. Lanham believes that the score, 33-15, does not accurately reflect Duke’s domination of the underdog opponent.

“The score does not tell the match,” he said. “We pretty much handled them. The score doesn’t reflect that because we had a forfeit. That’s six points right there. I felt comfortable with what our guys did out there.”

Redshirt freshman Andrew DeHart for-feited his match in the 157-pound weight class due to a knee injury.

Although the Blue Devils beat Stevens Tech, Lanham was quick to acknowledge that they have tough wrestlers on its roster. The closeness of some of Duke’s matches against the Ducks was a testament to that.

“I know there are tough kids, whether it’s Division I, II or III,” he said.

Lanham said that competing against Northwestern was great preparation for the Blue Devils’ upcoming tests against Eastern Michigan and No. 14 Michigan on the road in Ypsilanti, Mich. next weekend.

Rebounding, depth key the Blue Devils’ winby Lopa Rahman

THE CHRONICLE

After cruising to five wins against un-ranked opponents, the No. 4 Blue Devils expected No. 10 California to put them to their first real test. The Golden Bears did just that, but Duke passed with flying col-

ors in a 77-63 victory, proving that they have the defensive capabili-ties and offensive weap-ons to outplay tough opponents.

“We knew coming into the game that they were going to be physical and it was going to be a bloodbath out there,” Duke junior guard Chelsea Gray said. “We just had to focus on rebounding and getting stops when we needed them.”

Duke shows its skills on the glassThe Blue Devils’ focus on rebound-

ing paid off against the Golden Bears, a strong rebounding team. California, en-tered the game ranking fifth in the nation in rebounding margin, pulling down 66 boards against its last opponent, Old Do-minion, Friday night. Duke outrebound-ed the Golden Bears 41-37. Twenty-six of the Blue Devils’ rebounds were on the de-fensive end, preventing the Golden Bears from collecting too many second-chance opportunities.

“We’ve been working towards this,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “We’ve been having rebounding conversation almost too much. [Califor-nia] caught our team’s attention a little bit because they realized, ‘Wow, these guys can really rebound the ball.’ We

have just got to get that mentality no matter who we play.”

Duke’s success on the glass, in conjunc-tion with its sharp zone defense, was criti-cal in staving off California’s fast-paced offense, especially early in the game. The Blue Devils forced 13 first-half turnovers.

In the end, the Golden Bears shot just 35.9 percent from the field.

“Our inability to make shots in that first half when they went to the zone was a problem,” California head coach Lind-say Gottlieb said. “Their zone was really lengthy and it bothered us. We didn’t get the looks that we wanted right away.”

‘A complete team’The other important piece of the

puzzle in Sunday’s matchup was Duke’s offensive arsenal. Five Blue Devils scored nine or more points.

“They’re such a complete team,” Got-tlieb said. “They showed that when Eliza-beth Williams got in some foul trouble, and they were still just as dangerous. What makes Duke really good is that all five players on the court are a threat.”

Junior Tricia Liston, who led Duke with 22 points, elaborated on the benefits of the Blue Devils’ depth. She noted that when the team is healthy, the bench is deep enough to have five substitutes and the combinations that McCallie can come up with can pose matchup nightmares for opponents.

“You can go big or you can go small,” Liston said. “At every position you have a different strength—someone can do

DUKE DESTROYS DELAWAREby Michael Schreiner

THE CHRONICLE

By quickly putting a large lead in be-tween themselves and their opponent, the Blue Devils made Saturday’s game more about themselves than Delaware.

Despite playing without one of the team’s leading scorers in senior guard Seth Curry, who sat out with a left ankle injury, No. 2 Duke (8-0)—led by its big man duo of Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee—never let up in its domination of Delaware (2-6) en route to an 88-50 victory.

“The way we played for 40 minutes—it was different than you would expect, differ-ent in a very positive way,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Sometimes in these situa-tions, our fifth game in 10 days, there is a chance for a letdown and we didn’t have that tonight…. Instead they continued to play hard.”

Without anyone taller than 6-foot-9, Delaware struggled to contain Duke’s big men. Both Plumlee and Kelly finished with 18 points, despite playing just 24 minutes each, and Plumlee added 11 boards. De-spite the duo sitting for a combined 13 minutes in the second half, the Blue Dev-ils finished with 40 points in the paint—14 more than Delaware.

Kelly got off to a good start in the Blue Devils’ win, scoring the game’s first two buckets on a smooth jumper off a pump-fake and then a layup. The senior’s mid-range shot was on all afternoon, as he went 6-for-9 from inside the arc and was able to slash through the Blue Hens’ zone to cre-ate his own shots.

“I’m pretty confident, especially with my midrange jumper,” he said. “That’s something that I know I have in the bank a little bit, and when you know teams go to

2-3 zones I love getting to that free throw line area. I’m confident I’ll knock those shots down.”

The Blue Hens also fell victim to the Duke’s size and athleticism on the other side of the court, as they were rarely able to create an uncontested shot. Delaware fin-ished the game shooting just 27.7 percent from the field.

“It was real frustrating,” Delaware guard Devon Saddler said. “We usually make our shots and today our shots just weren’t fall-ing, so it was frustrating.”

Duke was without Curry from the start due to an ankle injury he sustained in the second half of Wednesday’s victory over Ohio State. Curry’s absence did not appear to slow the Blue Devils though, despite the fact that his replacement, junior guard Ty-ler Thornton scored just three points in the game. Thornton made his presence felt in other aspects of the game though, as he dished out 10 assists and was able to grab six rebounds.

“[Thornton is] such an easy guy to play with,” Krzyzewski said. “We can plug him in anywhere—he’s a winner.”

Thornton’s teammates in the backcourt, sophomore Quinn Cook and freshman Rasheed Sulaimon, each added six assists and turned the ball over just three times combined.

“[The passing is] great because you have to respect us,” Cook said. “I can dish the ball, Rasheed can score and dish the ball, and Tyler can dish the ball, so you know, we’re always looking for our teammates and looking for open players.”

The Blue Devil lead, which built steadily throughout the game and never dipped below 36 in the final 10 minutes of play, translated into increased playing time for Duke’s bench players. That has rarely been the case this season with Duke’s starters scoring 92 percent of the team’s points en-tering Saturday.

by Bobby ColtonTHE CHRONICLE

When beating top-five opponents Ken-tucky, Louisville and Ohio State, the Blue Devils were essentially deploying only seven men, including senior guard Seth Curry, who is still at well below 100 percent while dealing with a lower-leg injury throughout the preseason. With Curry unable to go Sat-

urday against Delaware at Cameron Indoor Sta-dium due to a left ankle injury, the Duke bench received a little extra time and performed

quite admirably. “We already knew [the bench] could do

it, but the fact that they are out there and got those minutes is great,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “You never know [if Seth] is going to be able to play.”

Duke cruised to an 88-50 victory agaisnt the Fightin’ Blue Hens, with everybody stepping up to fill the void left by Curry. Tyler Thornton drew the start and handed out 10 assists. Josh Hair-ston overcame foul trouble to grab six rebounds and block a shot. Even senior walk-on Todd Zaf-irovski joined the party with his first career points.

However, no two play-ers stood out more than forwards Alex Murphy and Amile Jefferson.

“That’s really y’alls first time seeing [Murphy and Jef-ferson], but we know from practice that those guys are good players,” senior forward Mason Plumlee said. “Once they get some game experience, coach can depend on them and we can depend on them, and that will make us a better team if we can go deeper.”

Murphy, a redshirt freshman, and Jef-ferson, a true freshman, had given the Blue Devil faithful a reason for optimism

1 minutes while also adding tenacious defense for the Blue Devils.

Bench comes alive in Duke’s win

prior to the season. Murphy looked active and effective in the team’s Blue-White scrimmage and start-

ed each exhibition game. Jef-ferson too used the exhibi-tions to announce his arrival to Durham, averaging 13.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in the two contests. Once the

season kicked off, however, both players were left with

bit minutes off the bench, that is, if they received any at all.

Jefferson has found his way onto the floor in every game, but the same has not been the case for Murphy.

“It’s been frustrating personal-ly, but the team comes first, and what we’ve done to this point is

obviously great,” Murphy said.The frustration subsided

after both Murphy and Jeffer-son saw a career-high 21 min-

utes of action Saturday. Mur-

phy tallied 10 points and Jefferson added another 12.

“Seeing some shots fall, it definitely helps your confidence a little bit and you loosen up a little bit. It feels good to be out there,” Murphy said.

Where the young forwards really made their presence felt was on the boards. Mur-phy ripped down seven rebounds, and Jef-ferson had six of his own, including three on the offensive glass.

“I feel like that’s just the type of player I am,” Jefferson said about his rebounding tenacity. “When I get a chance to showcase that I’m going to try my best to do it.”

For a team that has been consistently winning games despite losing the re-bounding battle, the added effort has not gone unnoticed. Plumlee is having a superb rebounding season, averaging 11.0 per game, but senior forward Ryan Kelly is averaging just 4.6 rebounds per game, down from 5.4 last season, even though he is playing five more minutes each contest. Hairston, who has been the team’s first big man off the bench, is adding just 2.4 rebounds to the front-court’s total.

“It will help our team,” Plumlee said of the rebounding effort put forth by Mur-phy and Jefferson. “They have a chance to be our best rebounding perimeter guys. If those guys can rebound, that gives us a dif-ferent element.”

Despite the senior captains, Plumlee and Kelly, heaping praise onto the neo-phyte forwards, Krzyzewski cautioned that change is not in the cards for the immedi-ate future.

“Those guys are good guys, but you know what, for me the main guys to de-velop are Mason, Ryan and Seth. To see Alex and Amile play so well today, that is great, but it doesn’t mean that we are go-ing to get this wave of substitutions and things like that.”

While a changing of the guard is un-likely for now, the fact remains that Mur-phy and Jefferson showed they can help this Duke team immediately and could be deployed once again down the road this season.

“When you get into February and March you can’t just go five or six, you need to have a bench and be able to give guys a rest,” Murphy said. “Obviously you’ve seen what the first five can do, but I think devel-oping a bench is a big part of what we’re going to do if we want to make a run late in March.”

the floor,” Liston said.Many expected the Golden Bears to

come in and outrebound the Blue Devils, as California was coming off a school-re-cord 66-rebound effort against Old Domin-ion. Duke did not let California best them on the boards though, outrebounding the Golden Bears 41-37 through an all-around team effort—five players recorded at least five rebounds.

“I think we rebounded better because we knew they could too,” McCallie said. “What we’ve got to do is rebound great no matter who we play.”

One thing that lived up to the hype was the high-profile point guard matchup of Gray and California’s Brittany Boyd. Boyd had a relatively quiet first half with only eight points, but exploded in the second half for 20, leading all scorers with 28. The total may have been higher, but Boyd was forced to sit out part of the second half due to foul trouble.

“I was just taking what they were giving me,” Boyd said.

For the majority of the second half, the Blue Devils maintained a 17-point lead, trading baskets with the Golden Bears, who shot 50 percent from the field in the sec-ond half, as well as 80 percent from behind the arc. California mounted somewhat of a comeback in the final seven minutes, get-ting within 10 several times, mostly thanks to layups from Boyd.

“I like how our team responded in the second half. We played a little bit more of our brand of basketball,” Gottlieb said. “Of course, against a team like Duke, you can’t put yourself in that kind of hole because they’re so good.”

This game also featured junior guard Chloe Wells’ return to the court, after near-ly a year’s absence following a suspension from the University last spring and an in-

something that someone else can’t.”

Second half defensive woesAlthough Duke’s capabilities on both

ends of the court were on display Sunday, the Blue Devils’ defensive slide in the sec-ond half should not be overlooked. They went from holding the Golden Bears to a 21.9 field-goal percentage in the first half to allowing California to hit 50 percent of its shots in the second half. McCallie attributes Duke’s late defensive struggles to her team getting too complacent with its lead.

“We didn’t play as aggressively,” she said. “We played a little bit to the score too much. We had a lead for a long time. We have to get out of that. We have to really want to make plays on every pos-session. I think anytime you give up 43 points in the second half you’re not go-ing to go home liking that.”

Duke opens its ACC schedule Thurs-day against Georgia Tech. The confer-ence is known for its physicality, McCal-lie said, noting that the Yellow Jackets in particular play a physical brand of basket-ball. Playing an up-tempo game against a physical Golden Bears squad afforded the Blue Devils a key opportunity to prepare for the matchups on their ACC slate.

“It was a good game for us and great preparation for our game on Thursday [against Georgia Tech],” she said.

Students to get free bowl ticketsFOOTBALL

by Staff ReportsTHE CHRONICLE

Duke students have not had a chance to see the Blue Devils in a bowl game since the 1995 Hall of Fame Bowl. Thanks to an unnamed donor, some will get to attend Duke’s appearance in Dec. 27th’s Belk Bowl against Cincinnati for free.

Students received an email Sunday night stating that the athletic department will hold a lottery Tuesday Dec. 4 for stu-dents to get free tickets just by presenting their Duke Card, made possible “through the generosity of a donor.”

In a video message accompanying the email, Duke defensive back Ross Cockrell said 500 students will have the chance to win tickets for the game in Charlotte.

“A great student showing in Charlotte not only supports the program but also makes a statement for future bowl invita-tions as Duke looks to consistently com-pete and play in postseason games going forward,” the email states.

Cockrell led Duke’s defense this year with five interceptions, earning first-team All-ACC honors.

“On behalf of my teammates, we would like to thank all Duke students who have supported us throughout this season,” Cockrell said in the video message. “We are excited that Duke will be headed to Char-lotte, North Carolina for the Belk Bowl on Thursday Dec. 27, and we want you to join us.”

It didn’t take long for Duke to get going in its indoor track and field season.

In the Blue Devils’ first indoor meet of the season at the JDL Fast Track College Kick-Off—the track and field team’s only meet of the Fall semester—senior Cydney Ross broke a facility record, finishing the 1,000m run in 2:49.

“Cydney ran a great race,” director of track and field Norm Ogilvie said to GoDuke.com. “Her time on a flat track in December is really good and makes us ex-cited about her future.”

Ross was one of five Blue Devils to finish in first at the meet in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Also on the track, sophomore Elizabeth Kerpon finished first in the 300m dash and Henry Farley, Dylan Newman, Kyle Moran and Nyall Islam combined to finish first in the 4x800m relay.

In the field events, junior Justin Amezquita and sophomore Stephanie Sk-ove earned top honors in the pole vault.

“We were just trying to see where peo-ple are in their training and give opportu-nity for kids to compete before Christmas,” Ogilvie said. “Overall, it was a really good day for Duke on both the men’s and wom-en’s side.”

need to win these postseason bowls. These are all steps that we’re taking and to me it presents itself as a huge challenge. But what an opportunity it is for our program on national television. I think our guys are excited about the challenge.”

The 2012 Belk Bowl will be the first meeting between Duke and Cincinnati on the gridiron. It will also be the Blue Devils’ first postseason game played in the state of North Carolina.

Not only does the bowl game’s close proximity allow an easy commute for a number of fans as well as Duke students—who will receive free tickets to the game thanks to an unnamed donor—it will also signify a homecoming for a number of Blue Devil players who hail from the Charlotte area, including Jamison Crowder, Brandon Braxton, Ross Cockrell, Jela Duncan and Justin Foxx.

“I’m truly excited that it’s Charlotte,” Cutcliffe said. “How appropriate is that for our team and our fan base. It’s an area in recruiting that is extremely important to our program. We couldn’t be happier.”

The team will travel to Charlotte Dec. 22 with bowl festivities set to begin that evening. The week’s schedule will feature a number of receptions and events for play-ers and fans, including a trip to Charlotte Motor Speedway and a shopping spree at the flagship Belk store in nearby South-park, N.C.—which will feature an expand-ed “Big & Tall” section for the players—and a trip to the Levine Children’s Hospital on Christmas Eve.

The Blue Devils have nearly four weeks to prepare for their matchup with Cincin-

nati and will resume practice next weekend. Cutcliffe noted that aside from preparing for the bowl game, the additional practices the team earned with its postseason selec-tion will aid Duke’s transition into spring practices.

“It’s the end of the 2012 season, but it’s certainly the beginning to the 2013 year. You get a little extra time with those guys that have redshirted, and we have a significant amount of redshirt freshmen that are important to us. It gives us a look

at what our team can look like,” Cutcliffe said. “There are times when we will let our seniors finish a few periods early and actually take a real look at what our 2013 team minus the signees that we’re going to have. It’s interesting to watch some leaders emerge when they’re not out there in the shadows of those seniors, some of those rising seniors take charge. I always sit back and look forward to that.”

The ACC’s Coach of the Year is not tak-ing the next few weeks of practices lightly,

however. He added that the Blue Devils could have some tricks up their sleeve for their first bowl appearance in his tenure at Duke.

“I’m even considering a few little posi-tion changes as we go into this thinking ahead,” Cutcliffe said. “I haven’t talked to the players, but I’ve done a lot of thinking about this over the last three or four weeks of the season. I’ve got some things that we’re going to want to look at, and I might do it as early as the [bowl] game.”

freshman Amile Jefferson each played a career-high 21 minutes while Josh Hair-ston was limited to just 11 minutes due to foul trouble. All three played in the first half, but were given the reins for the fi-nal 10 minutes of the game with the win firmly in hand.

“Some guys didn’t [play] as many min-utes as they would’ve liked it, but I think it’s good for developing our bench,” Plumlee said. “Josh has played more than the other guys, but for them to grow they have to not only do it in practice but also in the game, and that’s why I thought this game was big for them.”

Senior walk-on Todd Zafirovski scored his first two points in the win, much to the delight of the Cameron Crazies who began chanting “We want Todd” in the second half. Zafirovski also added a rebound and block.

Perhaps the only aspect in which the Blue Devils came up short was defensive re-bounding. After Ohio State grabbed 18 of-fensive rebounds Wednesday, Duke allowed Delaware 14 second-chance opportunities while creating just 10 for themselves.

Despite the great opportunity his bench players had to develop, Krzyzewski was hap-piest about the play of his team as a whole after the game.

“I feel good about everybody’s play to-day. Everybody played well today,” he said. “Not one guy played less well than the oth-er guy. They were terrific together.”
