by Georgia Parke THE CHRONICLE

Scholars from around the region gath-ered Thursday to discuss the negative im-plications of Republican control on North Carolina politics.

Duke faculty, alongside professors from North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, held an eight-person panel discussion, “Save Our State: Scholars Speak Out on North Caro-lina’s New Direction,” titled to address is-sues including health, environmental and educational polices in a Republican-dom-inated North Carolina state government. The members of this panel individually denounced the initiatives of GOP leg-islators in the state since the party took control of both houses of the General Assembly in 2011 and both the governor and lieutenant governor seats in 2013. In their individual speeches, each panelist described the major problems existing in the state as a result of conservative policy

Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo already had plenty of fuel for his fire against second-seeded Duke. He is just 1-6 all-time against the Blue Devils, last season Mike Krzyzewski notched his record-setting 903rd vic-tory against Izzo, and in De-cember the Duke coaching staff edged Izzo in an uber-competitive recruitment to win over prized recruit Jabari Parker.

Thursday another source of motivation was revealed for Friday’s 9:45 p.m. Sweet 16 tilt in Indianapolis: Izzo’s 13-year old son, Steven, picked the Blue Devils to beat the Spar-tans in his bracket.

“I said, ‘Steven, what are you doing?’” Izzo said on ESPN’s Mike and Mike in the morning radio show. “He says, ‘Well Dad, I’m just not sure on this game.’ I said, ‘You know what, son? You’ve got to pick with your head, not your heart.’ The damn kid picked Duke!”

Krzyzewski reflected on the younger Izzo’s predicition in Thursday’s press confer-ence in Indianapolis.

“I hope he’s right, first of all,” Krzyzewski said. “And by the way, his son will be sitting on our bench and has a schol-arship to Duke. He didn’t know that on Facebook and that on Twitter. I’ve been

Three artists will be joining the headlin-ers for the 2013 Last Day of Classes concert.

Bad Rabbits, 5 & a Dime and Blank 281 will be joining Kendrick Lamar, Steve Aoki and Travis Porter, said LDOC co-chair Bo Triplett, a senior. Bad Rabbits is a post-R&B group from Boston, and 5 & a Dime is a DJ and producer from Philadelphia—both will be coming as part of the package that includes Kendrick Lamar and Steve Aoki. The third new act, Blank 281, is a Blink 182 cover band. Triplett noted that the commit-tee attempted to book Blink 182 but were unable to do so because of the cost.

“We looked around and found Blank 281 and read good reviews,” Triplett said. “The idea is to have them kick off the main acts with a high energy, fun set. We would like to bring the same atmosphere to cam-pus that Third Eye Blind brought a few years back.”

Sophomore Izzy Dover, Triplett’s co-chair, added that the committee believed Blank 281 was a good choice because many students have a strong connection with Blink 182.

“Everyone loves Blink 182,” Dover said. “Everyone remembers them from our childhood.”

The full lineup of six artists was achieved thanks to funds the University has saved in recent years due to fewer damage and health-related costs, Triplett noted.

“As chair, a committee and administra-tion, we are trying to create an experience that Duke will use as a model for years to come,” Triplett said.

As it currently stands, Triplett said, the concert will open with 5 & a Dime, fol-lowed by Bad Rabbits and then Blank 281. Travis Porter and Kendrick Lamar will fol-low, and Steve Aoki will finish the evening with a 90-minute set.

Although the February announcement of the headliners was met with much ex-citement, the reaction to Thursday’s addi-tions was more subdued.

Former Duke student writes for Kenyan president-elect

by Sophia DurandTHE CHRONICLE

President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta’s vic-tory speech represented not only the be-ginning of a new era for the nation, but also for former Duke student Julie Wan-gombe, the appointed speechwriter.

At 22 years old, Wangombe has made her entrance into Kenya’s political scene after being discovered as a spoken word artist. The former Duke student took a leave of absence in 2010 at the end of her sophomore year due to an illness and returned to her home in Nairobi, Kenya to spend time with her family. While in Kenya, she was recruited to work on Kenyatta’s campaign and never returned to Duke. Wangombe wrote the victory speech Kenyatta delivered March 9, following the March 4 election.

“I was just pre-occupied for the most part—mouthing words along with him and thinking about the teleprompter,” Wangombe wrote in an email Tuesday. “Every so often, though, I would get re-ally happy and just start grinning. I’d think ‘Wow—this is history being made, and he’s the president.’ I thank God I was there.”

Despite her lack of experience in speechwriting, she is not new to the world of public speaking. Wangombe began to take interest in spoken word as an art form when she was 17 and par-ticipated in a number of workshops led by Imani Woomera, a singer, songwriter and spoken word poet.

Several of Wangombe’s friends noted her penchant for singing and poetry—Wangombe showcased her talents on campus by participating in Duke Africa’s Spring Jabulani event and being part of Duke Sapphire, a Christian women’s a cappella group.

Senior Annette Kiplagat, a close friend of Wangombe, said Wangombe performed spoken word poetry at open-mic nights during her time at Duke, add-ing that she was an extremely talented

individual. “What’s funny about her role as a

speechwriter for Uhuru Kenyatta is I remember her mentioning that she was trying her hand at this—and I quote—‘speech writing thing,’” recalled Chan-tae Campbell, Trinity ’12 and close friend to Wangombe. “However, true to her humble nature, Julie failed to men-tion for whom she was writing.”

Apart from her involvement at Duke, Wangombe’s spoken word performance “A Poetic Reintroduction to Africa” was featured in a Kenyan talent search spon-sored by TED Talks, a popular series of web lectures.

Wangombe noted that her experiences doing spoken word performances helped her in the speechwriting process.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on two cases concerning same-sex mar-riage. Accordingly, the controversial topic has been on the minds of many Americans. Tuesday’s hearing questioned the constitutionality of an amendment to the California constitution—Proposition 8—that defi nes marriage as between one man and one woman and allows only heterosexual marriages to be recognized in the state. Wednesday’s hearing concerned the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law signed by former president Bill Clinton that restricts federal marriage benefi ts to heterosexual couples and permits states to ignore same-sex marriages from other states. The justices are set to make their rulings around the end of June. In light of these hearings, The Chronicle’s Elizabeth Djinis spoke with students and discussed their opinions on the topic. “I support [same-sex marriage] wholeheartedly. I can’t imagine anyone not being united with one that they love for the rest of their life.” —sophomore Andrew Hall

“I’m kind of gay, so...”—senior Rob Valdovinos

“[The hearings] are more of a question of acceptance and understanding than it is of religion or politics.”—freshman Eleanor Mehlenbacher

“I believe that there is no convincing jurisprudence for the Supreme Court to invalidate Proposition 8, a democratically passed voter initiative, on constitutional grounds. It is not the prerogative of the Supreme Court to mandate recognition of gay marriage for all 50 states of the union. Doing so jeopardizes the integrity of our democratic process. The Supreme Court is simply not an arbiter of morality.”—freshman Jonathan Zhao, columnist for The Chronicle

“I think this is a pretty strict case of following the 14th Amendment—guaranteeing equal rights for everyone—so I don’t see any reason to regulate [marriage]. I don’t see why the government has the right to regulate it.”—freshman Jared Schwartz “I think it’s an issue of equal rights for everyone. It doesn’t make sense to deprive rights from people. And in most cases, it’s not going to ruin the sanctity of any mar-riage I would have.”—freshman Lizzy Kieffer

“People make these remarks about ‘Well, one of the problems is that homosexual love affairs are impertinent, therefore marriage is not very stable.’ But if you look at the number of divorces among heterosexual couples, I don’t see any real difference.”—Ronald Witt, professor emeritus of history

Students look through fabric and recyclables at a Students for Sustainable Living scrap exchange on the Bryan Center plaza Thursday afternoon as part of Primate Palooza week.

Exchanging scrapsdecision-making in the state’s General Assembly. David Jolly, associate professor and chair of the public health education at NCCU, referenced conservatives’ de-cision to reject the Medicaid expansion outlined in the Affordable Care Act.

“[Republicans] say Medicaid is a broken system, and we shouldn’t put new people into a broken system,” Jolly said. “But it clearly is not broke... and it would pump billions of dollars into the economy—$15 billion in the first eight years.”

Multiple panelists, including Helen Ladd, Edgar T. Thompson distinguished professor of public policy and econom-ics, also referenced education as an area of the state gone awry under conserva-tive control. Ladd cited a bill recently in-troduced in the state Senate for educa-tional reform. The proposed bill would set up a dual system of K-12 districts under which publicly funded charter schools would be supervised by separate school boards.

“Strong public education systems take years to build, but can be quickly destroyed,” she said. “We will eventually face the daunting and perhaps impos-sible task of reinventing a system that has already worked well in the past.”

The current legislative body is not the only thing to blame for what Levenstein described as a “disturbing policy agenda,” said Robert Korstad, Kevin D. Gorter pro-fessor of public policy and history.

He added that the conservative deci-sionmaking they were speaking of was “nothing new.”

“The conservative policies of today are the conservative policies of yesterday, but there are some things that are so outra-

geous that they have to be new,” he said. Gunther Peck, Fred W. Shaffer associ-

ate professor of history and public pol-icy, pointed out one instance in which new and old conservative polices are not the same. In environmental protec-tion issues, Peck said former presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Nixon were two of the “greenest presidents” and used their environmentalism to cre-ate larger Republican majorities in Con-gress.

“Roosevelt would be horrified,” Peck said of North Carolina’s current environ-mental policies.

While the speakers did not drop names or point fingers at specific people in the legislature, much of the speeches’ con-tent was focused on praising progressive policies and condemning conservative initiatives rather than presenting plans or solutions to them.

In the audience, Nick Carnes, assis-tant professor of public policy, asked the panel what they plan to do in response to the legislature they disagreed with so fervently.

“We’re asking all the people who are connected with higher education and care about the agenda to join us and to try to help us recruit other people so we can build throughout the state,” said Nancy MacLean, William H. Chafe professor of history and public policy. “Each one of us is part of organizations and congregations. [There are] people we can contact and express our concern about what’s going on—that’s the short answer.”

The event was sponsored by the Schol-ars for a Progressive North Carolina, a higher education organization dedicated to promoting progressive political causes, and was hosted at Sanford School of Pub-lic Policy.

“Some of the greatest and most mem-orable speeches in the world are very poetic, very lyrical,” Wangombe said. “Of course, it also helped me because I’ve gotten in the habit of writing for the purpose of speaking and performing, rather than writing stuff to be read.”

Although she worked in a team, Wan-gombe was the primary speechwriter and began writing the speech two weeks before the election results were due to come out.

This year’s election was highly con-troversial, with Kenyatta facing charges for crimes against humanity from the International Criminal Court due to vio-lence surrounding the 2007 presidential election. Despite the controversial na-ture of the election, Wangombe was able to connect with Kenyatta and work with him one-on-one.

Phyllis Pomerantz, professor of the practice of public policy studies, was struck by the Western style of the speech, saying it resembled victory speeches giv-en in the United States.

“It seems to me quite apparent that she really had been paying attention to the U.S. political scene while she was here,” Pomerantz said. “There was not much substance, but Julie married

things that people care about, emphasiz-ing the theme of togetherness.”

Pomerantz added that the speech also focused on the theme of inclusion, a concept Duke students are encouraged to embrace.

Wangombe noted that the theme of togetherness was an important aspect of Kenyatta’s campaign since the post-elec-tion violence in 2007 divided tribes and created international tension through-out the country. In order to be more inclusive, Kenyatta primarily put people younger than 35 on his campaign since younger generations have not been a main focus in previous presidential cam-paigns, she said.

“He chose to bring in the energy of the youth,” Wangombe said. “Young people make up the majority of Kenya, so I think for him it made sense to have their input as he was campaigning.”

This “new way of doing politics” was meant to transform the way young peo-ple were being “misused” in campaigns in the past, she said, adding that she is committed to bringing change to Kenya and Africa as a whole.

“I’ve always known that my future lies in Kenya, Africa,” she said. “I’m commit-ted to bringing change to Africa. In what capacity will I be doing that? I don’t know. But that’s ok—I’m young.”

WOMEN’S GOLF MEN’S BASKETBALL

by Andrew BeatonTHE CHRONICLE

Friday’s Sweet 16 showdown between second-seeded Duke and third-seeded Michigan State marks the eighth meeting in the rivalry between two of college bas-ketball’s A-list coaches: Mike Krzyzewski and Tom Izzo.

Krzyzewski is 6-1 against Izzo, and the re-spect between the two has only increased in every meeting since the pair first met when Izzo was a Spartan assistant. That meeting came when the Blue Devils beat Michigan State in the second round of the 1994 NCAA Tournament, Izzo’s 11th year as an assistant in East Lansing and two years be-fore he was named head coach.

“They hate each other,” joked Jud Heath-cote, Izzo’s predecessor at Michigan State.

Krzyzewski describes Izzo as a “very close friend,” adding that “Tom’s jokes are fun-nier than Jud’s.” But the Izzo-Krzyzewski re-lationship nearly did not have the chance to grow the way it has in the 18 years that they have both been head coaches.

Izzo did not have any head coaching experience before Michigan State hired him, but Heathcote strongly supported his longtime assistant’s candidacy because of the growth he saw in him during their time together.

“I worked hard to get Tom the job when I retired. I believed in the continuity and that he deserved the job,” Heathcote, now

85 years old, said. “If I hadn’t gone to bat for him, he wouldn’t have gotten the job because they looked for somebody who had head coaching experience, and there was great pressure there to hire a black coach.”

Izzo has validated Heathcote’s sup-port, going to the Sweet 16 in 16 of his 18 seasons in charge. That’s two more than Krzyzewski, though Duke’s skipper has one more national title in that span and three more overall.

“I admire what Michigan State did a long time ago, saying this guy can take over for Jud because Jud had great success there,” Krzyzewski said. “Tom has continued that and probably taken it up a little bit more.”

The first meeting between Izzo and Krzyzewski as head coaches came in the 1998-99 season when the Blue Devils won by six in non-conference play. They met again in that year’s Final Four, another six-point victory for Duke.

“There’s no question that if you look at the NCAA Tournament and what’s been done. Nobody’s Duke because Duke is Duke,” Izzo said at his press conference Monday. “But we’re one of the closest things to it as far as consistency.”

Krzyzewski’s lone loss to Michigan State was a 10-point defeat in the Sweet 16 of the 2005 NCAA Tournament. Duke had beaten the Spartans earlier in the year when J.J.

It was a game fitting of the nation’s top rivalry, but one that did not break in Duke’s favor.

No. 5 Duke squared off with No. 3 North Carolina in a back-and-forth battle at Koskinen Stadium, losing 12-11 in overtime. The Blue Devils scored the final two goals of regulation to tie the score and send the game to overtime, but Tar Heel midfielder Kara Cannizzaro scored the con-test’s decisive goal with 3:30 remaining in the extra frame to give the Tar Heels the win.

“It’s always a big game when Duke and us come across each other,” North Carolina head coach Jenny Levy said. “Every game against Duke for us is a brawl and a battle. I think we got outplayed in the first half and did a good job at coming back and being tough. In the second half, we just made some tough plays down the stretch that made the different.”

After the teams switched sides midway through overtime, North Carolina (10-1, 3-0 in the ACC) won the game’s final draw and attempted to stall out the clock, but the Blue Devils’ pressure defense forced an errant pass, giving them a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds. After Duke (9-2, 2-2) called timeout and drew up a play with 30 sec-onds remaining, senior attack Makenzie Hommel found a good look at the goal but could not convert.

The shot trickled wide, but the Blue Devils retained pos-session with nine seconds to play. Duke frantically tried to get a final shot off, but junior midfielder Maddy Morrissey was called for a charging foul and allowed the Tar Heels to run out the clock.

“At the end of the game we forced a turnover, we called a timeout with a young team and drew up a play and ran it to perfection,” Blue Devil head coach Kerstin Kimel

said. “We ran it exactly the way we wanted to run, and we just didn’t score on that play. It was a great play, Makenzie didn’t stick it—that’s just the way it goes sometimes.”

The Blue Devils surrendered the game’s opening goal just 1:05 into the contest, but responded with a 4-0 run to take a commanding lead. Two of the four goals were scored by Hommel, who led Duke with four goals on the evening.

Duke has made the Elite Eight for three consecutive years. But to extend that streak to four, the second-seed-ed Blue Devils (32-2) will have to play bracket-buster to the nation’s highest authority: President Obama selected sixth-seeded Nebraska to advance to the regional final.

The Cornhuskers (24-8) have already busted one bracket this sea-son, taking down third-seeded Texas A&M in the second round. Going up against a team that has won 13 of 15 games since mid-January, the Blue Devils will look to avoid that fate in Norfolk, Va. Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Nebraska’s offense runs through senior point guard Lindsey Moore,

who leads the team with 5.6 assists per game and also aver-ages 15.1 points per game, second on the team to junior forward Jordan Hooper’s 18.1.

Moore’s experience has shown this season, leading the Big Ten in assist-to-turnover ratio and making the Big Ten All-Tournament Team. The veteran’s prowess has also been on display in the tournament, with Moore pouring in 20 points and 10 assists in the Cornhuskers’ upset of Texas A&M.

“Team defense can be very important because they run a nice offense,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said.

vs.

by Michael SchreinerTHE CHRONICLE

Coming off a month-long break from competition, the Blue Devils will need to outlast both the elements and a strong tournament field this weekend to pick up their first victory since the fall.

No. 3 Duke will play in Greensboro, N.C. Friday through Sunday for the 2013 Bryan National Collegiate, which will be held on the Champions Course at Bryan Park.

The tournament will be the first for the team since it took third at a rain-shortened Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate Cham-pionship in late February. Head coach Dan Brooks said that while breaks of that length are rare during the season, he has noticed extended rest having a positive effect on past teams.

“They are fired up [to play],” Brooks said. “They got to enjoy a little time off and spring break—that’s something we don’t do every season.”

In the practice round Thursday, 20 mile-per-hour winds made sure the well-rested team wouldn’t be easing back into compe-tition. The Champions Course sits on the shore of Lake Townsend in the middle of Greensboro, and windy conditions are ex-pected throughout the weekend. There is also a good chance of rain Sunday.

Junior Laetitia Beck thrived in the wind

at the Sugar Bowl last month, finishing eighth. She credited her play to growing up playing on the windswept courses of Is-rael and Scotland. Brooks expects another solid performance out of Beck, although he points to her superior ball striking rath-er than her upbringing as the main reason he thinks she will fare well in the wind.

“She’s striking it well and playing better than ever,” Brooks said. “She’s learning how to keep her swing tempo in good shape.”

Senior Lindy Duncan, who took home the Bryan National Collegiate title last sea-son, will miss the tournament this weekend as she prepares to play in the Kraft Nabisco Championship next week.

In addition to high winds, Duke will face a field that boasts eight other top-25 teams. The high level of competition will be noth-ing new for the Blue Devils, however, as the team has played the toughest schedule in the NCAA so far this season according to Golfweek.

“There are a lot of good teams that could have a good tournament and win this,” Brooks said. “So we need to play may-be not our best golf, but we need to play really good golf to win it.”

A victory would be Duke’s first since last October, when the squad captured the Landfall Tradition title after weather short-ened the Wilmington, N.C. tournament.

DiMaria faces his alma materby Lopa Rahman

THE CHRONICLE

When Harvard came to Durham last sea-son to face Duke, Dan DiMaria sat on the side-lines for the Crimson after suffering a season-ending injury early in the year. Now a first-year student at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business, DiMaria elected to use his final year of eligibil-ity to suit up for the Blue Devils.

No. 12 Duke (7-4) will travel to Cambridge, Mass. Saturday to take on Harvard, where Di-Maria will square off against his alma mater.

“It’s definitely go-ing to be a unique ex-perience that doesn’t happen every day,” he said. “I still follow them really closely,

and [Harvard] is a big part of my life—where I grew up, where I became a man. That being said, Duke is my team now, and as much as I’m going to hug everyone after the game, I want Duke to win.”

Coming off a 16-7 loss to Albany Tuesday, the Crimson (4-4) will look to rise above .500 with a signature win against the Blue Devils. Prior to Tuesday’s matchup, Harvard hadn’t allowed more than 12 goals in a game this sea-son. That won’t be easy against a Duke squad that ranks seventh in the country with 12.6 goals per game.

“They’re going to be fired up to get back on the winning track,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “Defensively, Harvard is ex-tremely athletic. They challenge you, and they go to the man with the ball very tightly, very aggressively. They’re a very confident group defensively.”

When the Crimson traveled to Duke last season, Harvard showed a similar level of con-fidence on the offensive end of the field. After heading into the fourth quarter down 11-4, the Crimson racked up four goals and held the Blue Devils scoreless in the final period. Jeff Cohen, who led Harvard with 48 tallies last season as a senior, scored three times against Duke in the fourth quarter. Senior midfielder Alex White is this season’s leading scorer with 14 goals on the year, and attackman Devin Dwyer has also helped to fill the void left by

Cohen’s departure. The freshman, who has notched 10 goals this season, is tied with ju-nior attackman Peter Schwartz for the team lead in assists with 11.

“Devin Dwyer is a terrific player,” Danows-ki said. “He’s young, but he’s excellent. He played varsity when he was in eighth grade. [Harvard] shares the ball very well and has a lot of guys who are capable of scoring goals and making plays. They’re very deliberate and disciplined offensively, so with that discipline they want to wear you down.”

But wearing down the Blue Devils, who are on a five-game winning streak, will be a tall task for the Crimson. Duke scored 19 goals in each of its past two outings, and its defense limited Georgetown to seven goals last Saturday.

“If we play our game—our attack is great—we’ll be successful no matter who we play, be it Harvard or anyone in the coun-try,” DiMaria said.

W. LACROSSE from page 5

North Carolina responded with a four-goal run of its own before the Blue Devils knot-ted the score at 5-5 heading into halftime.

Another four-goal spurt gave Duke a 9-7 advantage with 19:15 to play, but the Tar Heels answered the Blue Devils’ blow once again. North Carolina took control of pos-session and notched another four consecu-tive goals to take an 11-9 lead.

Taylor Trimble’s goal with 7:46 remain-ing in the game tied the score at 11-11 be-fore the pace of the game quickly slowed to a defensive struggle. With both teams searching for the go-ahead goal, Kimel said that the Tar Heels’ slow and deliberate pace caused her squad problems.

North Carolina held a firm control on

the possession battle throughout the con-test, winning 18-of-27 draws. The Tar Heels outshot the Blue Devils 33-19 in the con-test, and despite allowing 12 goals in the game, freshman goaltender Kelsey Duryea recorded a career-high 15 saves.

Controlling faceoffs and ground balls has been a part of Duke’s winning formula all season, which Kimel said makes the loss to North Carolina even harder to swallow.

“We got completely outhustled on the draw and in ground ball situations,” she said. “That is something that we consider to be a signature of ours. To get beat like that, one more draw could have made the difference. We scored when we had the ball. That’s really hard for us to look at af-ter this game.”

I looked up for what seemed like ages at the grandeur of stone and history as I stood, trivial and minute, in front of Westminster Abbey.I spent my spring break visiting one of my

oldest friends in London. One af-ternoon, I found myself exploring Westminster. I walked, unhurried and deliberate, through the ar-chaic halls and elaborate chapels of Westminster Abbey. The intri-cate stonework, the woodwork, the history billowed out from the in-credible stained glass windows and the pipes of the mammoth organ, grandiose in stature. I ventured into one of the numerous chapels through a small stone hallway to the tomb of Queen Mary I, where I heard over my manual audio tour: “Do you go to Duke?”

Dumbfounded, I glanced up from the uber-touristy brochure I was carrying and searched the near proximity for who could have possibly asked me such a question. I was wearing my team-issued Duke Field Hockey rain jacket, an obvious staple amid the horrendous London weather, and found I was soon introducing myself to one of my classmates—whom I perceived fi rst as a complete stranger—in the middle of a 13th-century church in England. Not only did she go to Duke, but she, too, was an academic junior, living in the same building that I am currently living in.

What a small world, I thought—what were the chances? I’ve always had small world moments, moments where six degrees of separation feels but a slight strain. But something about being so far and distant, so separated from Durham, from Duke, really resonated. If I hadn’t been so blatant-ly donning a Duke embroidered raincoat, we’d cross paths, not knowing that we’d be returning after the duration of spring break not only to the same school, but also to the same residence hall.

The world, shrinking smaller with every hand-shake and every slight, fl eeting conversation, seems to allow these moments more frequently. Matters of proximity overlap in boundless pro-portion with measures of coincidence, and mat-ters of coincidence feel like a strange, half-heart-ed déjà vu in exponential ways.

Benedict Anderson’s discussion of “Imagined Communities” is one I’ve read countless times for anthropology courses, but my brief stay in London made this lofty and perhaps convolut-ed theory fi nally make sense. The nation “is an imagined political community,” writes Anderson, “imagined as both inherently limited and sover-eign.” It was undoubtedly evident that as Ameri-cans abroad, it’s incredibly easy to buy into our

citizenship as a member of this imagined commu-nity, whether conscious or not. It’s comfortable, automatic and natural to very clearly overhear an American, to bump into one at a restaurant or

on a train or in a church chapel, and feel a certain and irrefutable connectedness.

It’s near impossible to ignore the connection to what we know, to what is familiar. For me, trips abroad are few and far between, but the same occurrence is irrefutable each time. Perhaps you feel more American when you fl ip through a dog-eared issue of SkyMall, brows-ing the uber-excessive exhibition of

consumatopia within its pages. Maybe you feel a little more at home when you see the plaid-shirt-ed, jean-clad man walking through the terminal in London Heathrow Airport with an up-tilted Pittsburgh Pirates hat. You unconsciously, maybe unabashedly, let these people into your imagined community. You meet four older women from Wyoming on a train from Windsor Castle outside London to Paddington Station. They show you their souvenirs. You show them which bus route to take back to their hotel. They are now in your imagined community.

These mentally drawn communities feel tan-gible and real. They are interesting and entic-ing, as are the individuals we welcome into our mentally composed amalgamations of societal culture. In a crowded room, on a packed train—we don’t feel this connection when we’re com-fortable in our surroundings. It’s when we’re displaced or distant that we learn what a small world we live in. It’s when we’re least expecting it that we fi nd ourselves somehow connected to what a few seconds ago was a stranger. These moments of connectedness, slight and short, are what remind us of the omnipresence of our own imagined communities.

I boarded American Airlines fl ight 173 from LHR to RDU, settling into my seat as the Southern-accented fl ight attendant saw that each duffel bag and backpack was situated appropriately in over-head compartments or under the seats. I dozed briefl y, glancing up from seat 30B as seat 30A ap-proached. We spoke briefl y, and in that short time, I learned her grandmother lives in the county I grew up in in New Jersey. In that moment, she was allowed into my individual imagined community, and the world, again, got a little bit smaller.

Our imagined communities

Mutual benefi tsA recent partnership be-

tween Duke and the Universi-ty of Virginia seeks to combine the two institutions’ resources to promote the teaching of Creole and Tibetan languag-es. This effort to expand op-portunities for students to study these “low-visibility languages” will tangi-bly benefi t both the students enrolled in these courses and the academic communities at both schools. The partner-ship represents a creative and intelligent use of institutional resources—potentially serv-ing as a model for balancing the university’s fi nancial con-straints with its pedagogical as-pirations in a time of increased budget-consciousness.

In an era where the trans-formative impact of technolo-

gy on higher education is con-stantly touted, the Duke-UVA partnership does something refreshing: It utilizes exist-ing technologies to enhance, rather than replace, tradi-

tional modes of instruction. Students en-

rolled in these courses will still gather in classrooms to be instructed, still have in-dividual access to professors in offi ce hours and still have close academic interactions with fellow students—all fa-cilitated via videoconferenc-ing technology. Many of the fears associated with massively open online courses—that instruction quality will suffer, that students will cheat on ex-ams or that students will lose something essential in being removed from campus—are

alleviated. This is a college course designed to be deliv-ered via a different medium, not a pre-packaged module lacking structure.

Furthermore, “low-visibil-ity languages” like Tibetan and Creole, given the typical-ly low demand for instruction and the lack of qualifi ed ex-perts, might otherwise go un-taught. These programs are not necessarily sustainable on a large scale, but absolutely important. The benefi ts for students are obvious, in the form of acquired language skills, but the benefi ts for the University—in the form of ex-panded opportunities inside and outside the classroom—are multifaceted. A cadre of students and faculty intense-ly interested in a language could provide the founda-

tion for further research op-portunities, service projects and scholarly exchanges. The initiative helps the Univer-sity further its societal mission through working to preserve and transmit languages and research into the cultures sustaining them. At the same time, as a cost-neutral initia-tive, it eliminates the fi nan-cial and logistical barriers to establishing a new language program by taking advantage of existing resources at two reputable institutions.

As a potential drawback, this initiative could lead the University to begin “farming out” programs rather than de-veloping them internally. We have some concern that this will set a precedent that de-ciding whether or not classes should be taught on campus

will be made solely in terms of student demand and cost, as opposed to a fuller consider-ation of academic importance. While we believe this initiative is unique in that it facilitates the teaching of courses that would otherwise not exist on campus, we hope that the Uni-versity will continue to assess programs holistically. Cost is an important component in managing a campus, but not the only one.

Moving forward, we hope the University continues to seek out opportunities to supplement and enhance its own academic offerings through these types of insti-tutional partnerships. When done right, these types of programs allow the Universi-ty to sustain innovative work in unique disciplines.

Feminism, or anything remotely within its zip code, has gotten a pretty bad rap in recent years. I know plenty of girls who would admit to being nympho-pyro-klep-

tomaniacs before remotely as-sociating themselves with the concept. In all fairness, femi-nism at its apex seemed pretty thorny; I, for one, happen to like bras, and don’t plan on burning mine anytime soon. The idea of unilaterally hat-ing all men, or objecting to chivalry because it’s “sexist,” is pretty pointless as well. But there’s a problem when wom-en shy away from the whole idea of feminism, or assume that it’s now irrelevant, because of outdated preconceptions. There are some places in the world where being born a girl defi nes not just which pastel hat you get in the hospital, but the kinds of opportunities that will ever be available to you. Everything’s relative, and the U.S. is a lot better than a lot of places. But that gap still exists, and whether as a sliver or a chasm, it exists everywhere. (Though some countries are better than others at closing that gap. ‘Sup, Scandinavia.) Feminism isn’t irrelevant, and it isn’t a dirty word; it’s far more crucial than most people realize.

Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, posits in her new book on female success that the best way to diminish the gender gap would be for women to “lean in” to their careers and not mentally check out before they’re done with their professional goals. Sandberg and her manifesto (appropri-ately titled “Lean In”) have been subject to a maelstrom of criticism; the main sticking point has been that as a mem-ber of the highest echelon, Sandberg underestimates the substantial obstacles that other women face. It’s all very well and good to eliminate working from home, à la Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, if you can afford to have a nursery built next to your corner offi ce—but that’s hardly an option available to everyone. And though often under-informed, her critics do have a point. Similar to the ideas Anne Marie Slaughter raised in her seminal and controversial piece, “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” in The Atlantic, few women have ac-cess to the kinds of amenities available to those at the very top, like Slaughter, Mayer or Sandberg. For most women, childbearing and a high-powered career isn’t a tenuous bal-ance, but a mutually exclusive choice. Of course there are exceptions, but not without special cases and sacrifi ces men weren’t expected or required to make. Women make 77 cents for every dollar men make in this country; it’s a debat-ed statistic, certainly, but there’s no reason why there should be such a gaping disparity to begin with.

But this pales in comparison to the experiences of wom-en all around the world who are fi ghting to simply get in the room, much less break the glass ceiling. There’s Saudi Ara-bia, where a woman can’t legally drive a car, Brazil, where a woman is assaulted every 15 seconds and Afghanistan, where a woman can be jailed for being raped. Or take Pakistan, where education for women is considered so dangerously subversive that in October, Taliban members shot a 14-year-old girl in the head to stop her from speaking out about fe-male education. That girl, Malala Yousafzai, left a U.K. hospi-tal in January; the Taliban response to global outcry was that the attack was a warning to all youngsters in the area that they would be targeted if they followed her example. Her story was highly publicized, but it’s far from unique. Women around the world face often insurmountable obstacles to education, from cultural and familial interdictions to very real threats on their lives. In this day and age, the difference between being male and female and wanting to learn your ABCs can still be the difference between life and death.

All women don’t have to think alike. Moreover, various issues are important to various people—to say that your sex has to defi ne you, and that feminism is the only issue worth thinking about or fi ghting for, is exactly the kind of reductive attitude that created the need for feminism in the fi rst place. But what each of us has to recognize is that even now, there is a tremendous space between where we are and where we should be. To think that feminism is a relic of the past is dangerously short-sighted, to the tune of 14-year-old girls being shot in the head for trying to go to school. In case anyone had forgotten from last year, that’s why we need feminism.

Response to “The prince and the pauper”I was saddened to read the March 27 column,

“The prince and the pauper,” dismissing those who believe in the corrosive effects of income in-equality as a case of “the pauper being jealous of the prince.” I am afraid the columnist allowed his political ideology to impede upon what could have been an important discussion of well-informed, cogent and compelling arguments about the dan-gers of burgeoning income inequality. His tone was rather dogmatic and dismissive; he deemed it “unbecoming and unfitting for anyone educated” to have a contrarian view.

First off, the video discussed by the columnist is based on a study conducted by one of the most esteemed faculty members at Duke, Dan Ariely. His primary charge against this video is predi-cated on a false dichotomy and excessive pathos. He claims that “[Marxism] didn’t play out well in actuality,” insinuating those who caution against high levels of income inequality must be quasi-Marxist. It is reckless and fallacious to assert those who argue against vast income inequality are akin to Marxists. Nobel Prize winners such as Joseph Stiglitz—and myriad other respected econo-

mists—have published extensive research on the threat that increasing income inequality poses to economic growth and well-being. Additionally, re-searchers such as Richard Wilkinson have written extensively on the causal relationship between in-come inequality and indicators of social ills such as increased violence and poor health. In short, academia continues to elucidate how income in-equality can grow to dangerous levels that forsake the possibility of social mobility and jeopardize Liberalism’s fundamental ambitions.

Discussion over important issues like income inequality should continue on campus. But the discussion must be substantive rather than trivial-izing of other perspectives. What is “unbecoming and unfitting for anyone educated” is ignorance of facts and dismissal of other opinions without due diligence. Debate at Duke should strive to be better—our debates over politics, economics or culture must be mature, respectful and vibrant. These are the types of conversations that Duke is worthy of.

Matthew HamiltonTrinity ‘16

As commencement draws near, the graduating class prepares itself to become the next gen-eration of Duke alumni. Swarmed with adver-

tisements and pressures to donate, students begin to think about how they will continue to give back to this institution that has given them so much. Some even consider sending their own children to Duke to become part of the legacy. Yet, few students know how their money may be spent or invested.

Over the years, Duke University’s endowment has grown through gener-ous donations from alumni and other sponsors. These funds typically allow the University to provide scholarships, attract faculty and improve research programs. Since 2012, this endowment has consisted of over 4,000 funds with a total worth over $5.6 billion. In or-der to maximize long-term returns, the University’s endowment is also invested in a variety of assets including stocks, hedge funds, real estate and private eq-uity. Among this large endowment portfolio, an esti-mated 38 percent ($2.1 billion) is invested in stocks.

Demanding more investment transparency be-yond the broad breakdown of the University’s endow-ment has been diffi cult because Duke is not required to disclose how it appropriates its funds. Because the endowment is the basis of our University’s expansion and growth, however, advocating for Duke’s invest-ment responsibility is important and has the means of catalyzing corporate social responsibility and pro-moting systemic change.

One method of ensuring that Duke’s investments are not supporting unethical corporate policies and practices is to engage in socially responsible invest-ing (SRI). According to the Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment, SRI requires consider-ing “both the investor’s fi nancial needs and an in-vestment’s impact on society.” Investment responsi-bility recognizes that high investment returns are not enough to justify a corporate investment if the corpo-ration is practicing ethically questionable acts.

In the past decade, student groups at several uni-versities, including Duke, have begun pushing for more ethical investment practices through various

tactics, including divestment. Divestment involves withdrawing funds from corporations supporting or participating in harmful policies. A prominent ex-ample is the 2007 Sudan Oil Divestment Campaign, in which Duke divested funds from corporations supporting a Sudanese government committing crimes against humanity.

Universities can also fi le either a shareholder resolution, which requires corporations to take action if 50 per-cent of the shareholders vote in favor of the resolution, or a “proxy-vote” resolution, which commits the univer-sity to voting a particular way if a share-holder resolution is eventually fi led. In 2012, the Coalition for a Confl ict-Free Duke was successful in committing Duke to voting in support of confl ict-free electronics supply.

These examples show that the Duke student body and administra-tion has taken an active stance on key social issues through the use of selec-

tive investment. Unfortunately, the lack of both in-vestment transparency and student knowledge of responsible investing may make it difficult to know whether our vast endowment funds are supporting ethical practices.

Coming together as a student body in collabora-tion with Duke faculty and alumni can help to spread the word about responsible investments and put pres-sure on the administration to engage in SRI. Duke’s role as a leader in the international community pres-ents the perfect opportunity to advocate for change. Leveraging Duke’s reputation could set a precedent for other universities to take interest in the impact of their investments. If we as shareholders agree to hold Duke accountable, then maybe the institution will have a reason to desire change.

W. BASKETBALL from page 5

Redick scored 29 points, but a stingy Michigan State de-fense held Redick to 4-of-14 shooting and 14 points in the second meeting.

The last time they played, Krzyzewski won his record-breaking 903rd game at Madison Square Garden.

The way Izzo has handled his wins and defeats has only increased Krzyzewski’s respect for his counterpart.

“He’s a coach’s coach. He’s a guy’s guy. With all the success, he’s a humble guy,” Krzyzewski said. “There’s not a thing I don’t like about Tom, and he’s become a good friend over the years.”

And none of that will change even though only one of the longtime friends’ two teams will be able to advance to this year’s Elite Eight.

“He appreciates that we’re going to compete, and they’re going to compete,” Izzo said. “It’s going to be war.”

communicating with him and have arranged that deal. So he sold him out. But he sold him out for a good price. So it’s a good thing.”

Forty minutes of basketball away from the program’s 19th Elite Eight appearance, Duke will face a Michigan State team that excels in an area where the Blue Devils have been most susceptible all season: rebounding—where they rank 213th in the country.

Junior Adreian Payne and senior Derrick Nix headline a physical Spartan frontcourt that has dominated its first two opponents in the NCAA Tournament—Valaparaiso and Memphis—on the glass by a combined 85-45 margin, which resulted in two lopsided wins last weekend.

“The consistent factor for them is that they are an out-standing rebounding team,” Krzyzewski said. “Pretty much when they go on the court they are the best offensive re-bounding team on the court. And we have not done that.”

The Michigan State-Duke matchup offers everything a college basketball junkie craves: two Hall of Fame coaches, two traditional powerhouse programs and two teams with vastly different styles. In stark contrast to the Spartans’ physical and defensive-minded brand of bas-ketball—a staple of the Big Ten conference for the past several years—the Blue Devils thrive on spacing, sharp-shooting from 3-point range and getting All-ACC forward Mason Plumlee touches on the block in isolation. The Blue Devils rank fifth nationally in 3-point shooting at 40.3 percent, led by seniors Seth Curry and Ryan Kelly and sophomore Quinn Cook, all of whom shoot more than 40 percent from beyond the arc.

Given Duke’s deficiencies on the boards and thin front-court, Plumlee—who fouled out in the team’s Round of 32

win over Creighton—knows how important the battle in the paint will be.

“You just have to rebound,” Plumlee said. “They’re really good at getting it off the glass. With Nix, I think you have to stay on your feet, you can’t go for his shot fakes inside.”

While Payne and Nix do most of the dirty work, guards Keith Appling and Gary Harris—the Big Ten Freshman of the Year—lead the squad in scoring with 13.3 and 13.1 points, respectively, per contest. Offense is a weak point, though, for the Spartans, who average 68.2 points per game—seventh best in the Big Ten. Conversely, scoring is one of the greatest assets of Duke, the sixth best scoring team in the country with 78.3 points per contest.

Duke, however, has been below that mark in its first two tournament wins against Albany and Creighton, largely due to Kelly’s scoring slump. The senior has not scored more than eight points since his second game back from injury, going 0-for-10 from 3-point range in that span.

“As far as my shot goes, I’m not worried about that,” Kelly said. “Obviously, when I just came back the ball certainly went in the basket. And that happens sometimes, and sometimes the ball doesn’t go in the basket. But I’m confident in my shot, and I always believe I’m going to make the next one.”

Another cold shooting night from Kelly probably won’t cut it against the Spartans—a team that like Duke does not beat itself. For the sake of Steven Izzo’s bracket—and returning to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2010—the Blue Devils will likely need one of their most well-rounded outings of the season to defeat Izzo’s club.

“They’re going to show up. We’re going to show up,” Krzyzewski said. “I really love that. This is a big-time game. It’s a big-time game, and we’re excited to be a part of that. We want to be in big-time games.”

“They cut well, they look for each other and they pass well. So we have to disrupt their motion on offense and really get after some great players.”

An area of concern for Nebraska is its 3-point shooting. The Cornhuskers do not have one player on their team that averages 40 percent from behind-the-arc. Moore leads the team at 39.5 percent from downtown.

Conversely, Duke boasts several players who can shoot the long ball, with three players averaging better than 40 percent. Junior guard Tricia Liston leads the Blue Dev-ils in 3-point shooting, hitting 46.1 percent of her long-range shots.

“We’ve got to the ball up the floor quickly, and it’s im-portant that we make them defend us as much as possible,” McCallie said.

The matchup to watch will feature experience against youth when Moore—Nebraska’s all-time leader in starts and career minutes—takes on Duke’s freshman point guard Alexis Jones, who has stepped up for Duke with star point guard Chelsea Gary out for the season.

In its second-round game, Duke came back from a 13-point halftime deficit against Oklahoma State to win by nine. The comeback was thanks in large part to the fluidity of the Blue Devil’s offense, which is putting up 75.1 points per game, nearly eight points more than the Cornhuskers.

“The ability we had in the second half to really turn it on defensively and hold them and come back was just a tes-tament to our heart and pride,” Williams said. “In NCAA tournament games like that where our shots aren’t falling, our ability to get consecutive stops is going to be very im-portant moving forward.”

One advantage Duke will not have moving forward will be playing on its homecourt. The Blue Devils played their opening two games at Cameron Indoor Stadium, but now hit the road for the first time in NCAA tournament play. This does not bother the players, however.

“Overall we’ve a pretty good job of adjusting to the trav-el,” Williams said. “It’s not too far so I think we’ll still have a lot of Duke fans over there.”

It may not be Duke, but the Ted Constant Convocation Center will still be home to Williams. The center grew up and played high school basketball about 30 minutes from the arena in Virginia Beach and will be playing in front of many of her old friends and family.

“I’m really excited,” Williams said. “It’s a great opportu-nity for my teammates to see where I’m from and for my high school coaches see me play in person. I’m just really excited to go back home.”

Williams is not the only Blue Devil who will be close to home. Sophomore guard Ka’lia Johnson grew up in Ches-ter, Va. only an hour and a half away from Norfolk.

If Duke is able to come away with a victory, it will play the winner of Notre Dame-Kansas game on Tuesday in Norfolk.
