Deadline nears, efforts to register voters increase

Blue Devils advance to 5-1 record

by Alex KrinskyTHE CHRONICLE

At the onset of the fourth quarter, with Duke up 28-17, senior wide receiver Con-ner Vernon dove and pulled down a 45-yard bomb through double coverage for a touchdown. The play was an exclama-tion point on an already memorable win in which Duke moved within one game of bowl eligibility and Vernon became the ACC’s all-time leader in receptions.

Led by Anthony Boone’s four touch-down passes and timely defensive stops, Duke defeated Virginia 42-17 Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium. With the win, the Blue Devils (5-1, 2-0 in the ACC) are off to their best start since 1994—the last time they reached a bowl game.

Grad student solves composition mystery

With five days left to register to vote, students have redoubled their efforts to increase political activism on campus.

The push to register Duke students to vote in North Carolina has increased re-cently because the statewide deadline to register is 5 p.m. Friday. But students who miss the Friday deadline can still register and vote at Duke’s on-campus one-stop early voting site, which opens Oct. 18 in the Old Trinity Room. Voting is an impor-tant way of shaping the country, especially for college students in North Carolina—a swing state—where they stand to greatly influence the elections, said state Sen. Floyd McKissick, D-Durham.

“People think that one vote doesn’t make a difference, but it can,” McKissick said. “If you’re on campus for four years, you’re a stakeholder in that state and that

The question of the authorship of a musical manuscript has finally been solved thanks to musicology doctoral candidate Angela Mace.

Mace began studying German compos-er Felix Mendelssohn during her under-graduate years at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music. In 2007, after en-rolling at Duke, Mace began researching the “Easter Sonata” mystery—the long-running search for the true identity of the Easter Sonata composer. Through inter-views and extensive research, Mace locat-ed the original sonata manuscript in 2010. After an analysis of this manuscript, Mace discovered that the Easter Sonata was not written by Mendelssohn but instead by his sister Fanny Hensel.

“When I saw that manuscript for the first time, it was such a great moment of excitement,” Mace said.

Mendelssohn expert Larry Todd, Arts and Sciences professor of music, was Mace’s inspiration for her pursuit. Mace came to Duke specifically to study with Todd, who she met in 2005 while study-ing Mendelssohn manuscripts at Oxford University the summer before her senior year at Vanderbilt. Todd introduced Mace to the Easter Sonata mystery in one of his classes when he played an original record-ing of the sonata and discussed the uncer-tainty around the composer. Mace said her intrigue was immediate.

Mace’s research led her to Berlin in 2009, where she looked at original Men-delssohn family manuscripts and docu-ments that held no further clues. By 2010, she was able to visit pianist Eric Heidsieck, who had recorded the 1970s version of the sonata that Todd played in class. Mace said that through Heidsieck’s connections, she ELISSA LEVINE/ THE CHRONICLE

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT STATUTE REPEALEDby Julian Spector

THE CHRONICLE

After months of student pro-test, the University eliminated the one-year statue of limitations on student sexual misconduct.

The new statute means that the University disciplinary pro-cess can respond to reports filed

against a student until that stu-dent graduates, according to the revised policies. The change was proposed by a student task force. It reflected a reinterpretation of federal regulations under Title IX and resulted from several weeks of negotiations with the Department of Education’s Of-

fice of Civil Rights. Vice Presi-dent for Student Affairs Larry Moneta informed the student body of the change in an email Sunday evening.

“We never made the change because we wanted to or because of an institutional desire to re-duce the time,” Moneta said in

an interview. “There was no clar-ity in the Office of Civil Rights guidelines. It was an interpreta-tion that we thought we had to comply with.”

The statute of limitations for sexual misconduct—the period of time in which students can re-port an incident—was reduced

from two years to one year in January in order to comply with requirements that Duke nego-tiated with the Department of Education in 2011. The Office of Civil Rights stipulated that stat-utes of limitations for reporting

Campus Quad app to help students advertise events

by Anthony HagouelTHE CHRONICLE

A new iPhone app will serve as an alterna-tive for cluttered, paper-covered billboards ad-vertising campus events.

Campus Quad, a new mobile application for iPhones that creates a consolidated and digital social billboard, is now available to Duke students and faculty. Students and the app’s creators worked together to bring Cam-pus Quad—available at only a select number of colleges in the country—to Duke for free. Campus Quad features an innovative, real-time flyer interface that some say could change the way students advertise for on-campus events—anything from free food to fraternity parties.

Sophomore Tre’ Scott, Duke Student Gov-ernment vice president for services, and soph-omore Ashley Qian, print intern for the Duke Innovative Design Agency, spearheaded the ef-fort to bring Campus Quad to Duke.

“We haven’t had anything yet that provides real-time updates for real-time events,” Scott said, noting that the app is the only place where students will be able to easily post their own free digital advertisements.

Campus Quad users can create a flyer for any event on their phones, as well as upload pictures and text real-time updates for other app users. The app also has a live map feature that allows users to see what events are hap-pening around them. Viewers can filter out categories of flyers—such as academics, arts and greek organizations—and creators can privatize their flyers or connect them to Face-book. To sign up, users must provide a Duke email address to verify that they attend the University.

“Not only can Campus Quad advertise huge campus-wide events, it can also be kept to a group of friends, or say, a fraternity, sorority, [selective living group], et cetera,” Qian said. “You can make private events that only your friends can see, and that’s another awesome feature we want to see unfold.”

Duke is now one of five schools who use the app—a list that includes Brown University, Rice University, the University of California-Berkeley and the University of South Florida.

It is too early to see how the app will change how students advertise, but Scott said he is ex-cited about the huge potential for creativity. Scott added that he encourages user feedback, especially during the app’s early stages.

Junior Jacob Robinson, Duke University Union vice president of internal affairs, sees Campus Quad as a huge step forward in orga-nizing the myriad of social events on campus. Robinson, who has served on several social event-planning committees, said the app will give every student the ability to see exactly what is going on around campus without miss-ing out on interesting events.

“DUU at times struggles with its marketing and advertising so that students know what’s going on around campus,” Robinson said, call-ing Campus Quad an easy-to-use conglomer-ate of all information.

Although the app is currently only avail-able for iPhones, creators are working to develop the Android version and hope to re-lease it soon.

CHRISLYN CHOO/THE CHRONICLE

Wiser, a Kenyan nongovernmental organization, supports women’s education. WISER held a concert of student performances Friday night, including bhangra dance group Dhamaka.

Dance Wiserwas able to visit the archivist in possession of the original Easter Sonata manuscript and confirm that the composer was in fact Hen-sel, not Mendelssohn.

This discovery has significant implica-tions for the music community, Todd said. Like Mace, Todd said he hopes that the dis-covery of the true composer of the Easter Sonata will bring renewed interest to the lesser known member of the Mendelssohn family.

Todd noted that her style, though similar to her brother’s, has characteristic distinc-tions, but due to her role in society as an upper class woman, she received much less attention.

“[Hensel] grappled with the stylistic differences of Bach, Beethoven and her brother in her work,” he said. “There is a historical impediment that takes a while to overcome.... We hope that Fanny Hensel will enjoy the same revival of other 19th century women in similar fields.”

Duke held a symposium to celebrate Mace’s discovery Sept. 7. The symposium included a Duke Performances concert from the Claremont Trio, a piano trio that includes Juilliard School alumni.

“We decided to combine the two things and actually have the piece performed by the pianist in the trio,” said Jane Hawkins, chair of the music department and profes-sor of the practice of music.

Aside from the publicity received for the discovery, the research changed the direc-tion of Mace’s dissertation to focus strictly on the similarities between Hensel’s and Mendelssohn’s styles.

“My initial goal of my dissertation was to use it as a case study: to write the analy-sis of other music, see the style parameters and apply these conclusions to the sonata

to then argue, along with documentary evidence and stylistic evidence, that Fanny Hensel was the composer,” Mace said. “Now I’m able to use [the sonata] as an engine rather than an end goal.”

Mace said she hopes that interest in Hen-sel’s work will increase due to the discovery. She is optimistic that the analysis of the pre-viously lost manuscript will raise Hensel’s profile as a composer and make her music as equally studied as that of Mendelssohn’s.

Mace’s discovery in the mystery of the Easter Sonata is exciting in the music world but on a personal level as well.

“You hope that you’re going to do something original and something that’s going to change scholarship, but you don’t expect to actually find a new manu-script or new source, or rediscover some-thing like this,” she said. “It’s just a huge joy and a dream come true to actually be able to do this.”

community. We can’t allow people to get complacent.”

Because college students tend to be more liberal, McKissick said voter par-ticipation on college campuses could swing the election either way, especially in North Carolina where the race will be very close.

State Rep. David Lewis, R-Harnett, add-ed that the left-leaning college student population has helped tilt the Durham and Chapel Hill areas more in favor of Democrats.

In 2008, President Barack Obama won the state by a narrow margin of approxi-mately 14,000 votes.

The difference, which is fewer than the number of students enrolled at Duke, is a reason why Duke students should register and vote in North Carolina, said sopho-more David Winegar, president of Duke Democrats.

“We really have the ability to swing the elections here at Duke,” Winegar said.

Students vote in North Carolina to con-nect more with the Durham community, junior Grace Benson said. Voting in North Carolina means learning about political and social issues in the area, which is impor-tant for Duke students who are members of the Durham community, she added.

“I decided to register to vote in North Carolina because it is my home for nine months out of the year,” Benson said. “It is a vital step in participating in our new community.”

But some students plan to vote via ab-sentee ballots in their home states.

Sarah Bartleson, a senior from Florida, said her absentee ballot should be arriving in the mail within the next few days. She plans to vote in Florida because a referen-

dum on the ballot in her hometown allow-ing residents to own pickup trucks could benefit her family, she added. She added that Florida is also a battleground state for the presidential race.

“You’re voting for the presidential elec-tions either way, but there are local issues that are important as well,” she said. “The election is not just about the president.”

Whether students vote in North Caro-lina or at home depends on their level of interest, Lewis noted. If they are primarily interested in the presidential race, then it does not matter where they vote. But con-troversial local issues—such as the Amend-ment One referendum on the spring bal-lot—could encourage students to become engaged and therefore influence where they vote.

Ultimately, it is up to the student to de-cide where to vote, as long as they follow the law and do not vote in multiple states, Lewis said.

“The right to vote and the care to par-ticipate in the process far outweighs any political preferences of mine,” he added.

Bartleson added that more freshmen—who may not yet feel connected to North Carolina—tend to vote absentee more of-ten than upperclassmen. Many students are also influenced by their parents’ political opinions and therefore vote for the same candidates and in the same states.

Duke Student Government President Alex Swain, a senior, noted the University’s mission of civic engagement in highlight-ing the importance of political activism. She applauded students who actively par-ticipate in campaigns by interning and volunteering, adding that all students can become involved by voting.

“Voting is one of the best ways to be civically engaged,” Swain said. “Having an on-campus voting site makes it easier for people to be engaged.”

The ultimate goal of American foreign policy should be “ending tyranny in our world.” That’s what former President George W.

Bush said in his second inaugural address. And he wasn’t the fi rst president to tout American democ-racy as the panacea for the world’s injustices. In the wake of the Spanish-American War, President William McKinley rationalized the annexation of the Philippines with a promise to ensure the “full measure of individual rights and liberties which is the heritage of free peoples” for the Filipinos. Be-fore World War I, President Wood-row Wilson’s foreign policy was a feigned balancing act between the right to self-determination and the spread of democracy—he almost invariably prioritized democratization over self-de-termination. When Wilson identifi ed making the world “safe for democracy” as the main goal of the United States’ entry into World War I, he solidifi ed the tradition of American moral imperialism that survives to this day.

With this history in mind, it’s not surprising that we usually consider the democratization mandate in terms of U.S. military or diplomatic intervention in foreign countries. But the fi rst case of the Su-preme Court’s October term last week highlighted an alternative route for the fulfi llment of the moral bent of U.S. foreign policy: the Alien Tort Statute. Enacted as a part of the Judiciary Act of 1789, pre-sumably to ensure the safety of American diplomats and merchants abroad, the statute gives foreign citizens the right to bring suit in district court for violations of the “law of nations or a treaty of the United States” that occurred in a foreign country. In the 1980 landmark case of Filártiga v. Peña-Irala, two Paraguayan nationals living in the U.S. sued a former Paraguayan inspector general (who was also living in the U.S.) for the torture and murder of the plaintiff’s 17-year-old son. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals held that torture was a violation of the law of nations, and therefore constituted an actionable claim under the Alien Tort Statute. The case set the precedent for U.S. federal courts to ad-judicate tortious acts committed by non-Americans across the world. With this reconceptualization of the statute, judiciary entered the fray of American moral imperialism and the Ninth Circuit later ex-tended the courts’ jurisdiction to include tortious acts committed by corporations on foreign soil.

Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral argu-ments on whether the Alien Tort Statute was meant to apply to claims by foreigners against foreigners for foreign conduct in the case of Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum. The plaintiffs, 12 Nigerian na-

tionals, allege that three European oil companies helped the Nigerian military kill and torture civil-ians who opposed oil exploration in Nigeria. The justices contemplated several approaches to the Statute, including consultation with the State De-partment to determine the effects of a decision on

foreign diplomatic relations, and a consideration of the availability of al-ternative fora, especially a forum in the country in which the alleged vio-lation actually occurred. The Court is clearly concerned about trans-forming the American judiciary into the arbiter of international justice.

Particularly in the case at hand, the consideration of alternative fora seems essential. Regardless of how atrocious the alleged human rights

violations are, the U.S. district courts are not subsid-iaries of the International Criminal Court or the In-ternational Court of Justice. Although it is true that the oil companies do business in the United States, the allegations do not arise out of that business. Fur-ther, on a very basic level, it seems extreme to expect a Dutch company to know that it is liable in the Unit-ed States and subject to U.S. interpretation of the law of nations for allegedly tortious acts committed in Nigeria against Nigerian nationals who had no connection with the U.S. at the time of the alleged human rights violations.

Royal Dutch Petroleum, the named defendant in this case, is headquartered in the Netherlands and has its registered offi ce in London. Under Dutch law, both individuals and corporations may be criminally liable for human rights violations com-mitted abroad. Given the defendant corporation’s intimate connection to the Netherlands (including a Royal charter granted in 1890 by King William III of the Netherlands), it can hardly claim ignorance of Dutch laws on criminal liability. The company may have committed a procedural faux pas by pre-senting the plaintiff’s inability to sue them as an affi rmative defense, rather than as a motion to dis-miss, but the Court must consider what precedent upholding liability would establish. Granted, the identifi cation of the Dutch courts as the appropri-ate forum for suit might subject the Nigerian plain-tiffs to signifi cant hardship. Nevertheless, barring some legislation codifying American courts’ ability to hear claims by foreigners against foreigners for foreign conduct, the judiciary should not become the arbiter of international justice where alterna-tive willing and suitable fora are available.

Universities are like Re-naissance masterpieces—they both cost a lot of money, and each one has its own unique personality. But un-like Renaissance masterpiec-es, which exist in timeless sta-sis, universi-ties can autonomously raise money and change their personalities. Duke’s latest capital campaign, Duke For-ward, is about personality. It is as much about asking how to spend our money as it is about raking money in, and to answer that question we must immediately ask an-other: What should Duke be, now and in the future?

Duke Forward has already committed itself to answering this question, and has done an impressive job so far. For

example, President Richard Brodhead’s Sept. 30 guest column in The Chronicle—a welcome effort to communi-cate with undergraduates—effectively put Duke’s “dis-

tinctive culture of cross-dis-ciplinary col-

laboration” front and center in the campaign’s fundrais-ing goals. The Founder’s Day address by Trustee Da-vid Rubenstein, Trinity ’70, a lengthy but elegant outline of a committed Duke gradu-ate’s vision for the Univer-sity’s future, is worth viewing for any member of the Duke community.

The central point of both addresses is essentially the same: The key to Duke’s con-tinued vibrancy lies in enhanc-ing the spirit of collaboration

that pervades the campus, which makes the University well suited to producing un-conventional knowledge in unconventional ways and al-lows it to so ably deploy that knowledge in solving real problems in the world.

Truer words about Duke cannot be spoken, but they are also liable to bore under-graduates. Interdisciplinar-ity, collaboration and putting knowledge in service of society echo like tired mantras, noth-ing but a fl amboyant rehearsal of obvious values shared across higher education.

These ideas bore under-graduates for the same rea-son that water bores fi sh: We do not know anything else. For a college campus to be empty of dogmatism and full of curiosity seems like the sta-

tus quo only because most of us have little experience with other universities. In fact, it is only because of Duke’s odd history that it came to possess these qualities and is so well-positioned to embrace and build upon them.

We often forget that the University, at 88 years old, is younger than most of our great-grandparents. Its histo-ry is the story of a place that had the gumption to bust its way into the oligopolistic world of elite higher educa-tion but whose aspirations always outran its available resources. To become what it is, Duke had to act differ-ently.

This difference is still working for us: Duke’s Glob-al Health Institute started with a budget signifi cantly

less than the same institute at Harvard, but has become an example of successful cross-disciplinary collaboration. It is this dogged openness that enables Duke to address practical problems so readily, and that brings to programs we treasure, like DukeEn-gage, to students’ daily grind. To borrow from Rubenstein’s address, we already have what everyone else wants: a collab-orative spirit.

We endorse Duke For-ward’s vision of the future, but cautiously. There are lingering questions—about whether emphasizing col-laboration is dangerously exclusionary, and about what role this value has in under-graduate life—that we will address in the next two days’ editorials.

commentariesTHE CHRONICLE MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2012 | 7

At a post-debate Denver rally, President Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of 12,000 people. He made a few jokes about Mitt Romney’s record,

talked about parts of his record omit-ted from the debate and claimed that during the debate he was talking about … some term I hadn’t previously heard. He claimed that he was talking about “economic patriotism.” He used the term in reference to using economic or government power to achieve ends that he believes are benefi cial to the people of the United States.

The idea that economic power should serve vital national interests isn’t new. During World War II, the government made efforts to sell war bonds. They weren’t the greatest investment on the market, but buyers were guaranteed to make a 4 percent minimum return. For many citizens, putting money into defeating both the Nazi regime and Imperial Japan (who sucker-punched us at Pearl Harbor) made up for the potential difference in long-term value. This, however, is a far cry from what Obama seems to be talking about. Even in those rough times, the gov-ernment was asking people to buy war bonds. A war was tearing the world apart and it was up to those with money whether or not to provide for the war effort. Though taxes did rise, bonds accounted for nearly three quarters of total federal spending dur-ing the war years (1941-1945). Obama’s remarks, along with Biden’s insistence that paying higher taxes is patriotic, point to a serious change in men-tality concerning the private wealth of citizens.

The United States was founded on the idea of be-ing a land where each person had the right to pursue his or her own happiness. This distinctly Aristotelian idea highlighted the principle that one’s own pur-suit of happiness is the necessary moral purpose of every human being. Therefore, the proper role of government is to protect the rights of its citizens and its highest good consists of its citizens pursuing said happiness freely and justly. In such a system, one’s achievement of his or her dreams is the truest and most valid moral end in and of itself. For example, if I set up my own consulting fi rm or toy store or charity, then it exists with moral validity because I and those who work for me are working to achieve our own ends. It has moral validity for this reason alone. My company’s existence is not made valid by any other party, be it a plurality of citizens or a gov-ernment offi cial. This is the only valid meaning of economic patriotism, and it is a concept that neither party really seems to understand.

The Democrats, particularly Obama, are those most obviously lacking. As the banks continued to re-pay their loans post-TARP, Obama insisted that it was

their job to prove their worth to the American people: “Now that they’re back on their feet, we expect an ex-traordinary commitment from them to help rebuild our economy.” This ties in with the issues of cronyism (see my pre-vious article), and it also highlights his underlying belief that the banks exist because of their ability to help others, that they are morally valid as a neces-sary evil meant to help others achieve their ends. Biden’s remarks about pay-

ing higher taxes being patriotic underscore a belief that the rich are obligated to pay for the causes of others. In this context, he means paying primarily for bloated entitlement programs and our military’s failed attempts at nation-building, neither of which are necessary roles of government.

Similar beliefs are visible in the Democratic Par-ty’s constituencies. In Jersey City, longshoremen unions are rallying against the company known as Global Container Terminals. Global plans to auto-mate several processes that will result in job losses, as the new automation will require fewer employees to stack shipping containers. The union workers are no longer providing a useful service, but are demanding that the company not modernize and rather contin-ue to pay them. They are demanding that the com-pany put the interests of the union workers ahead of its own.

Though the Republicans generally appear to side with business, they too fall into the trap of validating capitalism through its societal benefi ts. It is true that private charity has done a lot for the world, and that free economic growth adds to the prosperity or all people in the long run. However, the Republicans come dangerously close to making the societal ben-efi ts a primary justifi cation, rather than a result. In failing to champion capitalism the right way, Repub-licans have allowed America to become the nation we see now.

America is in dire need of more champions for true economic patriotism, people who followed their dreams for their own sake and no one else’s. It needs people who, when incredulously asked if they hold their own good above the good of others, reply “I hold that such a question can never arise except in a society of cannibals.”

against socialism, declaring steadfastly to remove that hedonistic, yellow-feathered freak, Big Bird, from our national airwaves. (On a related note, is there anything in this country worse than Barney, the Big Purple so-

cialist dinosaur? “Sharing is caring” isn’t a song title, it’s communist brainwash-ing, an attempt to dissuade the children of society of the importance of private property to any functioning economy.)

On a personal note, I successfully ended a strike in one of my many Malay-sian factories without hav-ing to make any conces-sions. I ask you this: Has society really devolved to the point where a capital-ist like myself must provide food AND water to his em-ployees? I didn’t believe

so, and the younger replacement laborers were more than satisfied with the Juicy-Juice boxes we provided for their 18-hour days.

And, finally, Duke University embarked upon a $3.25 billion capital campaign. This means that my Univer-sity will have finally raised more money than the annual GDP of the Central African Republic (easily the worst-named country on this entire planet—naming your country “Central African Republic” would be like me calling my son Cranfield “Effeminate Disappointment Child”).

This is, of course, great news for the school, but many people have asked me, “Wellington, what exactly will Duke spend this money on?” Now, I cannot make any promises for the long-term future, as my body is more riddled with disease than the Central African Republic, but I can tell you my personal goals for this spending.

Before I begin, I would like to dismiss concerns that have been brought up that I am somewhat of a racist. This is patently false: Obviously, I believe a good por-tion of this funding should go toward minority groups, so the proposed $250 million dollars of funding to the athletic department is a fantastic step in the right di-rection. Any Ubermensch must be strong in body and spirit, and besides, I believe that profitable programs like our basketball and our football teams (I know, I too am saying each week “Doth my eyes deceive me?” at my television screen) should be rewarded over pe-dantic, non-market-incentivized areas like Arts and Sciences.

I also think the University should be using this money to increase the standard-of-living of the average student. Why not hire each student a personal servant, like my Asian assistant Feng Guan? A student would no longer need to carry his books around to classes, and if he were caught in the rain, he could simply lift up his small Asian above his head (I am told Orientals are well-known for their ability to retain water). They would also be able to assist any female student on any math or science exam.

I think the final priority for spending will be to fund true opposition groups on this campus. Women’s Cen-ter? Let’s create a Men’s Centre, spelled as such because real men default to British tradition. They could host fun activities like “Pre-Nuptial Agreements and You: How to Avoid Succubi and Keep Your Hard-Earned Mil-lions” and “Why Consent is a Much Trickier Issue Than the Mainstream Media Would Have You Believe”—top-ics truly relevant to the titans of industry this University creates.

Similarly, I think that the BSAI weekend should in-clude a tribute to the brave British men and women, but mostly the men, who helped bring the African pop-ulation to the U.S. It is they who are the truly forgotten heroes.

DAVID KORNBERG/ THE CHRONICLE

Students perform the dance from the viral Youtube video Gangnam Style in a flash mob on the Main Quadrangle Friday afternoon.

Gangnam Style STATUTE from page 1

harassment and sexual misconduct must be the same for both students and employees. At Duke, the statute for employees is one year, and administrators changed the student statute to match that.

Students responded enthusiastically to the elimina-tion of the statute of limitations. Junior Stefani Jones, DSG vice president for equity and outreach and leader of the student task force for reviewing the policy, said she was “absolutely ecstatic” about the change.

“I couldn’t be happier that we saw such a groundswell of support from the Duke community and that the ad-ministration was receptive to our proposal and our con-cerns,” Jones said. “When you have so many students ral-lying around an issue, it becomes hard to ignore.”

The initial reduction in January drew prolonged stu-dent outcry, sparking opinion pieces in campus publi-cations, poster campaigns and a unanimous Duke Stu-dent Government resolution Sept. 26 condemning the change.

The student task force found that other universities—including Harvard University, Brown University and Princeton University—have no statute of limitations with regard to reporting sexual misconduct.

The task force proposed eliminating the statute of limitations for student sexual misconduct and began meeting with administrators including Moneta; Stephen Bryan, associate dean of students and director of the Of-fice of Student Conduct; Benjamin Reese, vice president of the Office for Institutional Equity; and Cynthia Clin-ton, director for harassment prevention and gender eq-uity programs.

Recent negotiationsBryan noted in a Sept. 7 article that he was not aware

of a pending change to the policy.Within the last two or three weeks, Duke began negoti-

ations with the Office of Civil Rights, Moneta said, adding that the process was strictly between attorneys. Moneta was informed of the office’s decision at the end of last week and finalized the policy during the weekend.

The key to the change lay in the specifics of the Title IX requirement, Jones said. The Office of Civil Rights did not mandate that the student statute of limitations match the employee and faculty statute of limitations, but the student statute of limitations for harassment had to match the statute for sexual misconduct.

“What changed is that previously [Office of Civil Rights] insisted that our harassment policy and sexual misconduct policy be consistent in time frame require-ments,” Bryan wrote in an email Sunday. “Through our conversation with [the Office of Civil Rights] last week, we were able to have a meeting of the minds that it would be OK to have a different statute of limitations for faculty and staff respondents than for student respondents in both policies.”

The policies needed to align because the Office of Civil Rights classifies sexual violence as a subset of sex discrimination that falls under harassment, Bryan noted. The office told administrators in 2011 to make the time frames consistent, and they chose to lower the sexual misconduct statute of limitations from two years to one year to match the University-wide harassment policy.

The decision to reduce the reporting time frame was made because the harassment policy was vetted by the several faculty governing bodies, and 96 percent of cases of sexual misconduct in the past 10 years were reported within one year of the incident, Bryan said. He added that he does not expect many more new cases coming forward that are older than one year.

But Bryan noted that any case brought forward, in-cluding ones that may not have met the earlier statute of limitations, will be evaluated for disciplinary action un-der the new policy.

“We originally presumed that commonality in things like the statute of limitations was an obligation, and go-ing back to [the Office of Civil Rights] we were pleased to discover that that’s an area where we could have some dif-ferential between students and employees,” Moneta said.

The new policy amends the University-wide harass-ment policy so that a complaint against a student may be filed at any time and is actionable until the accused student graduates, and the revised sexual misconduct policy matches that time frame. Complaints against non-students must still be filed within one year of the most recent instance of alleged harassment.

“It’s a big step forward for the University in trying to protect victims as much as possible,” DSG President Alex Swain, a senior, said. “It says a lot about the University’s priorities about what type of culture we have, a culture that’s sensitive to victims and fair.”

Offensive barrage propels Duke past B.C.WOMEN’S SOCCER

ELYSIA SU/THE CHRONICLE

Junior Kaitlyn Kerr registered the first goal of the game for Duke, extending to poke a ball into the net and give the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead.

by Matt PunTHE CHRONICLE

In a duel between the two highest-scoring teams in the ACC, all of Duke’s offensive weapons showed up, and the Blue Devils came out on top to earn their second confer-ence victory of the week.

After No. 23 Boston College (8-4-2, 2-3 in the ACC) erased Duke’s dominant first half with an early second-half goal, strikes from team-leading scorers Laura Weinberg and Kim DeCesare propelled No. 7 Duke (10-3-1, 4-2-1)

to a 4-2 victory Sunday at Koskinen Stadium. “We haven’t had a weekend where we picked up six

points, so I thought the energy was great when we started off,” head coach Robbie Church said. “I thought the ball movement was unbelievable. I thought we created some really, really good chances.”

Heading into the contest, the usually potent Blue Devil offense had failed to score a first-half goal in

three of its last four games.“We knew we had to come out strong,”

freshman forward Cassie Pecht said. “We hadn’t really played a full 90 min-utes the whole season yet, so that was our main goal.”

Against the Eagles, Duke attacked early and often, racking up a 5-0 shot advantage in the first 20 minutes. Less

than three minutes in, it looked as if Duke went ahead when junior midfielder Kaitlyn Kerr headed in a cross. The goal was disallowed due to an offsides call, but Kerr

continued to attack, just miss-ing a set-piece header and creating several chances for teammates in the offensive third.

Slightly more than 21 minutes into the game, the Blue

Devils finally broke

through as Pecht played a ball across the face of the goal, and Kerr slid across the 6-yard box to get a foot on the ball and put away the goal.

“We’re better when Kaitlyn is in the middle of ev-erything,” Church said. “That’s who Kaitlyn Kerr is. She always plays hard. She’s one of our inspirational leaders on the field, off the field too. We play off of Kaitlyn’s energy, so when Kaitlyn’s in the middle of everything—when we see her with that much energy,

that much movement on the field—then we know good things are happening for us.”

Kerr continued to facilitate the offense throughout the first half, and Boston College did not manage to put a shot anywhere near the net for the remainder of the period. Still, Duke could not find a second goal before the break.

In a strong defensive performance, Duke held Maryland—the sixth highest-scoring team in the country—to just two goals.

The Blue Devils’ inability to convert on their offensive opportunities, howev-

er, doomed them to a 2-0 loss to the reigning national champions in Col-lege Park, Md.

The defeat marks Duke’s fourth straight loss in the ACC, in which all six field hockey programs are ranked in the top 25 of the nation.

“The ACC is the top conference in the country, and every time we have a game it’s going to be very competitive and a very high level of field hockey,” Blue Devil head coach Pam Bustin said. “We really enjoy playing that level of game. Today’s game was really fun and of course was high inten-sity for the full 70 minutes.”

No. 24 Duke (5-8, 0-4 in the ACC) lim-ited the No. 5 Terrapins (9-3, 3-1), who average 17.7 shots per game, to just seven shots on the day. Both teams earned four penalty corners.

“They have a lot of speed and some very dangerous forwards,” Bustin said. “Their scoring ability is quite high. We had to re-ally take care of cutting down their attack-

ing runs and attacking opportunities, and we really did a great job of that.”

The contest was scoreless for the first 20 minutes, which featured little action near the goal. In the 22nd minute, Mary-land junior Jill Witmer ended the scoring drought off an assist from sophomore Maxine Fluharty.

A few minutes later, a shot by Blue Devil junior Brenna Rescigno appeared to even the score at one, but the referees called it back.

“We had some unfortunate luck with some calls,” Bustin said. “We probably scored a goal that wasn’t recorded today.”

In the second half, Duke had two scor-ing opportunities off penalty corners but could not capitalize. Among these oppor-tunities was a shot by junior Grace Christus that sailed just over the goal. Aside from penalty corners, the Blue Devils struggled to generate quality looks on offense.

“We just didn’t put enough attacking pressure on them,” Bustin said. “We had four corners, and I think we could have executed them a bit better, and I think we could have created some more attacking opportunities in the regular field of play.”

After beginning their ACC competition with four straight road matches, all losses, the Blue Devils returned to Cameron In-

door Stadium to face Maryland and Boston College.

Duke (10-8, 1-5 in the ACC) swept the Terrapins Fri-day night, but fell in three sets to the Eagles Saturday.

“Heavenly,” said head coach Jolene Nagel said about playing at home. “We’ve been gone a long time, and it’s great to be back here. The team enjoys this atmo-sphere so much more than the atmosphere on the road, and I really think that made a difference [Friday night.]”

In its first home game since a Sept. 8th victory against Northeastern, Duke came out strong Friday and beat Maryland 25-13, 29-27, 25-23. The Terrapins’ (10-8, 2-5) .186 hitting percentage and 18 attack er-rors helped the Blue Devils overcome a se-ries of offensive miscues in the second and third sets and take the victory.

Duke’s .483 hitting percentage made quick work of the Terrapins in the first set. Senior middle blocker Christiana Gray racked up six kills on just nine attempts,

and freshmen setter Christina Vucich dished out 11 assists.

Maryland took control early in the sec-ond set and led the entire way until a kill by Gray tied the score 20-20. After falling behind several times, kills by sophomore outside hitter Jeme Obeime tied the score at 24 and then at 25. Two points later, Obeime registered her sixth kill of the set and gave Duke the lead at 27-26. Freshman outside hitter Emily Sklar registered her fifth kill of the set to give the Blue Devils the 2-0 advantage.

With the score tied at 23-23 in the final set, Obeime recorded her team-leading 12th kill of the match and an attack error by the Terrapins gave Duke its first confer-ence victory. Sklar finished with nine kills, and Gray finished with eight kills and a .538 hitting percentage. Vucich tallied 35 assists on the night.

“We were real solid in that first set,” Na-gel said. “Maryland definitely took advan-tage of some things in the second and third sets, but I liked the way our team hung in there and adjusted to that.”

It was the Blue Devils turn to get swept Saturday night. Boston College (10-9, 4-3) held Duke to a .183 hitting percentage, and the Blue Devils’ 16 errors doomed them to a 25-22, 26-24, 25-19 loss. Gray and freshman

Ibeagha’s goal lifts Duke against N.C. StateMEN’S SOCCER

by Nick MartinTHE CHRONICLE

“Huge... Massive... Tremendous.”These were the words most used by Duke

head coach John Kerr and senior goalkeep-er James Belshaw to describe their victory as they stood on N.C. State’s Dail Soccer

Field after the Blue Devils took down a dangerous Wolf-pack team in a 1-0 shutout.

“To come out here and get a win, is huge.” Belshaw said. “We would have put ourselves in a big hole had we not gotten a result here, but the lads stuck together.”

Although Duke (4-5-1, 2-2-1 ACC) players said last Friday’s overtime loss to North Caro-lina remained on their mind, the Blue Devils turned to the elements of their game that have carried them the majority of their sea-son: defense and junior center back Sebastien Ibeagha, who registered the team’s lone goal.

Duke’s backline employed a bend-but-don’t-break effort that resulted in no major scares until an N.C. State last ditch effort in the final minutes.

“Besides the last little five minute flurry, they didn’t really threaten much,” Belshaw said.

The Wolfpack gave the crowd a good show in those final minutes, as they had four shots on goal and opportunities to tie the game. Each shot, however, found its way outside of the crossbars or deflected off Belshaw’s gloves. Besides these late at-tacks, the Blue Devils stayed strong in their defense and aggressive on offense.

“The backline was tremendous again.

That’s been the way we’ve built.” Belshaw said. “We know we can shut teams out.”

As the defense stood strong throughout, Ibeagha leaped into action in the 25th min-ute, taking a pass from freshman midfielder Zach Mathers on a set piece and connecting

with the back right corner of the net. The goal was his fifth goal of the year and his fourth that has been set up by a set piece.

“He does such a great job for us defensive-ly, and anytime he comes up for any set piece he’s dangerous.” Kerr said. “He’s converted

on five attempts this year. As a team who’s been hampered by injuries to our strikers, it’s a great addition to what we need.”

Efficiency has been a huge key to Ibeagha and Duke’s success, as this was his fifth goal of the season, but merely his ninth shot. He leads the offense in shot percent-age at .556.

N.C. State (7-5, 0-4) dropped its fourth straight ACC match, dashing many excited Wolfpack fans’ hype around their incred-ible start in which they won their first six games. They have been on a skid as of late, losing their last five out of six contests.

A bright spot for the Wolfpack on an oth-erwise slow night of offense was the play of High Point transfer, junior Alex Martinez. Martinez was able to work through Duke’s defense several times, but failed to execute, missing all three of his shots.

N.C. State head coach Kelly Findley said the team lacked conviction in the first half, which showed in their defensive play, namely on Ibeagha’s goal.

Although the team played aggressively overall, it was not the type of aggressive at-titude the Wolfpack needed. There were numerous scuffles on the field between the two teams, including one in which the Wolfpack’s Monobo Bokar got into a shov-ing match with several Duke players. This chippy play resulted in N.C. State drawing four yellow cards on the night.

Duke will have the chance to get nice and comfy in Durham as the Blue Devils open a four-game home stretch that begins on Friday, when the No. 1 Maryland Terra-pins (8-0-1, 3-0-0) face off against Duke at Koskinen Stadium at 7 p.m.

Stepping in for an injured Sean Renfree, quarterback Anthony Boo

WITHIN ONE GAME OF A BOWL

[after the game],” head Coach David Cut-cliffe said. “But before we broke apart in the locker room, I heard them—I didn’t say anything-— heard them talking about going back to work tomorrow. I heard them talk-ing about how we’ve got to build on this. That’s a fire you want them to catch.”

The first quar-ter was a shootout, with both teams quickly getting on the scoreboard and driv-ing down the field with ease. While Duke relied more on big plays, Virginia’s touch-down drives were calculated and efficient.

On the game’s opening drive, the Cav-aliers marched 83 yards down the field. Alabama-transfer Phillip Sims was mak-ing his first career start at quarterback for Virginia, and the sophomore was able to connect with E.J. Scott twice for 45 yards. Kevin Parks capped the drive with a seven-yard touchdown run, strolling into the end zone with relative ease.

Duke was quick to respond. Boone, also making his first career start at quarterback due to Sean Renfree’s injury, rolled out of the pocket on his third play from scrim-mage and hit a wide-open Jamison Crowder for a 54-yard touchdown.

With the game tied at seven, Duke’s defense helped build momentum as Tony Foster recorded his first career intercep-tion on a pass from Sims.

On the ensuing drive, Vernon made history. After tying the ACC all-time recep-tions record last week against Wake Forest Vernon broke the record of 232, previously held by Clemson’s Aaron Kelly, with a quick completion for a loss of two yards. Vernon finished the game with seven catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns.

“I couldn’t be more happy and proud of Conner Vernon,” Cutcliffe said. “It couldn’t have happened to a better young man who has been incredible on and off the field for Duke University… He broke the record on not so flashy a play, but 42-17 took care of that. I told him that’s pretty flashy, winning in that fashion.”

On the following play after a penalty, Boone looked deep to Vernon and hit him with a pass at the goal line. Vernon used his body to create space, clutched the ball to his chest, and stumbled into the end zone for a 37-yard touchdown.

“The day I stepped on campus at Duke, I never thought I’d be the all-time leader in receptions,” Vernon said. “It’s just a bless-ing. I’m forever thankful to Duke, coach

by Andrew BeatonTHE CHRONICLE

Now 5-1 on the season, Duke is getting some love in the polls.

In the latest rankings, the Blue Devils received three votes in the Associated Press poll and 10 points in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll af-ter beating Virginia 42-17 Saturday and moving within one game of the team’s first bowl berth since 1994. John Silver, who covers Connecticut for the Journal Inquirer, accounted for all three votes in the AP poll, rank-ing Duke No. 23 on his ballot.

“To me, the last three or four spots in the AP poll can go to any number of teams,” Silver wrote in an e-mail to The Chronicle. “I try to find rising and perhaps under-the-radar teams for those spots.”

The last time Duke received any votes in either poll was in 2010 when it received three points in the Nov. 1 Coaches’ Poll. Prior to that the Blue Devils last registered votes in a 2008 Coaches’ poll. Before that they were given courtesy votes in the Coaches’ Poll by former Duke head coach and current South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier, who gave them 25th

Cut and Dr. White for bringing me to this university. If I had to do it again, I would do it. Not a doubt in my mind.”

Virginia (2-4, 0-2) countered with a balanced 86-yard touchdown drive. Perry Jones, who rushed for 95 yards in the first half, evened the score at 14 by leaping into

the end zone from the goal line.

In stark contrast to the first 15 min-utes, the second quarter saw little offense as both teams combined for nine punts. Neither team gen-erated any kind of

offensive rhythm, and the first points of the quarter came when Virginia hit a field goal to take a 17-14 lead as time wound off the clock. But that field goal would be the final time the Cavaliers would put points on the scoreboard.

Despite the close score going into the half, Virginia dominated most offensive cat-egories through two quarters of play, hold-ing the ball for eight more minutes than Duke. The Cavaliers compiled 386 yards of total offense compared to the Blue Devils’ 186 yards, and they had twice as many first downs with 18.

After Duke and Virginia opened the second half with punts, a 25-yard punt re-turn by Vernon sparked the Duke offense. On first down from Virginia’s 12-yard line, Boone checked down from his primary tar-

get and found an open Juwan Thompson cutting left for the touchdown.

Leading 21-17, Duke never relinquished that lead due to a suffocating defensive ef-fort. On the following drive, the Cavaliers faced a fourth-and-one and decided to go for it despite still being in their own territo-ry. In a definitive defensive statement, senior Duke defensive back Walt Canty—who after the game admitted that his decision to blitz was improvised—charged into the backfield and nailed Kevin Parks for a loss.

Duke took over on downs and established its running game. Freshman Jela Duncan carried the ball four times on the next drive for 30 yards, complete with an 11-yard touch-down run that built the lead to 28-17.

Vernon’s second touchdown catch in the beginning of the fourth quarter showcased Boone’s precision downfield. Boone, who had to deal with the uncertainty of Renfree being a game-time decision, finished with four touchdowns on 18-of-31 passing for 212 yards.

“I think Anthony grew up a lot today,” Vernon said. “Today he put 42 points up on the scoreboard. You can’t really ask for much more in your quarterback.”

After Vernon’s second touchdown catch put Duke up 35-17, any chance of a Virginia comeback was shut down by the stifling de-fense. In the second half, the Blue Devils only allowed four yards rushing, 140 yards of total offense and five first downs.

When Juwan Thompson broke free for a 34-yard touchdown run with 2:48 seconds left in the game, it was more like a victory parade.

by Jacob LevittTHE CHRONICLE

After demolishing Virginia 42-17, Duke’s offense is averaging 45 points in its four home games. Although Anthony Boone performed admirably stepping up in place of the injured Sean Renfree, the team’s remarkable second-half defense made at least as much of an impact.

Head coach David Cutcliffe was im-pressed with both his offense and defense, but said the way that all three units—offense, defense, and special teams—contributed in tandem was the best part of the victory.

“We got stopped on offense after a nice drive to open up the second half, and we punted them back deep,” Cutcliffe said. “The defense went out there and did their job—pinned them back deep. They punted it—Conner [Vernon] has a 25-yard punt re-turn to set up great field position, and the offense immediately takes it in and scores. That’s good football. That’s what we have been striving for.”

The sequence Cutcliffe described, on which Duke took the lead for good, cer-tainly changed the game, but in many ways the afternoon’s defining moment came on the ensuing possession.

After advancing close to midfield, Vir-ginia faced a fourth-and-one near midfield trailing by just four points. The offense, not the punter, took the field. After having estab-lished the run so effectively in the first half, the Cavaliers seemed sure to run in the short yardage situation. At least so thought senior captain Walt Canty, who led the defense with 13 tackles and registered three tackles for loss on the day, one of which came on that play to give his offense the ball.

“I wasn’t supposed to blitz, but I took a chance, and sometimes it works out,” Canty said. “They had been running the ball well on us. They had a lot of yards, so I figured

they’d try it again. It was just one yard and they figure they can get it, so I just picked the right gap.”

Duke wasted little time converting the opportunity into points. The Blue Devils covered the 45 yards with a pass interfer-ence penalty and four Jela Duncan rushes in just a minute and a half. The score gave Duke momentum for the rest of the way, energizing the crowd and the team.

More importantly, Duncan’s touch-down run gave Duke its first two-score lead, forcing the Cavaliers to abandon the ground game. In the first half, Virginia had rushed 26 times for 184 yards. After halftime, the Blue Devils held them to two yards on nine rushes.

“What helps that is our offense respond-ing and putting points on the board and forcing them now to have to throw the football,” Cutcliffe said. “That put us in the advantage at that point in time.”

Effectively shutting down the run on first and second down proved crucial in bringing up more difficult third down situations. In the first quarter, the Cavaliers went 3-for-3 on third down en route to two touchdowns, largely because they needed an average of just two yards to convert for the first down. Virginia would go on to finish the game an atrocious 4-for-16 on third down.

“You can play third-and-10 a lot better than you can play third-and-four,” defen-sive coordinator Jim Knowles said. “It gives you a lot of options…. We started mixing it up a little bit. We started playing less man coverage and backing off a bit.”

Schematically, Duke will be forced to make adjustments like this one in all of its games. The ability to do so will depend dramatically on the coordination of the game’s three phases. For the Blue Devils to reach their goal, they must put together complete efforts like Saturday’s.

place votes in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 pre-season polls.

The last time the Blue Devils were actu-ally ranked in the AP poll was January 2, 1995 when they played in their last bowl game—a 34-20 loss to Wisconsin.

“People aren’t used to thinking about Duke. I know coach Spurrier has always thought about us along the way—maybe we got a vote from him if he’s still a voter,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “It doesn’t really matter to me, but for our kids it’s great because they’ll pay atten-tion to that and take pride in that.”

Two ACC teams were ranked in this week’s AP Poll with Florida State slipping to No. 11 after losing to N.C. State and Clemson coming in at No. 16. With the upset, N.C. State received 17 votes as the fourth and fi-

nal member of the ACC to appear in the rankings. Michigan clocked in at No. 25 this weekend with 82 votes.

“Certainly, there is a ton to quibble with, but I would rather put them on the ballot early than have to make up for it this week if Duke beats [Virgin-ia] Tech in Blacksburg,” Silver wrote. “In that case they would be 6-1, 3-0

[in the ACC], and you will see them ranked.”

Around the ACC

Army 34, Boston College 31

Army and its traditional ground-based attack produced three 100-yard rushers, with Raymond Maples leading the way en route to 184 yards. Trent Steelman added 141 rushing yards along with three touch-downs, including the game winning 29-yard run with 45 seconds remaining. Andre Williams notched 191 yards on the ground, including a 99-yard touchdown, in the de-feat for the Eagles.

North Carolina 48, Virginia Tech 34

The Tar Heels picked up their fourth win of the season with the victory in this high-scoring affair. Giovani Benard regis-tered a career-high 262 yards on 23 carries, while Bryn Renner added 194 yards and a touchdown in the air. Virginia Tech quar-terback Logan Thomas produced 354 yards and three total touchdowns in the loss. The Hokies will look to turn around their so-far-disappointing season when they host Duke next week.

Maryland 19, Wake Forest 14

Maryland opened its ACC schedule with a home victory against the Demon Deacons. Terrapin wide receiver Stefon Diggs took a pass 63 yards late in the fourth quarter to set up the game-winning one-yard touch-down run by Justus Pickett. Perry Hills had 191 yards at quarterback for the Terrapins in this defensive-oriented game. The two teams combined for 15 punts.

Clemson 47, Georgia Tech 31

Tajh Boyd went off for 397 yards and two touchdowns at quarterback for the Tigers, with both of those touchdowns going to star wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Boyd also added 62 yards and a score on the ground. Georgia Tech took a 31-30 lead early in the fourth quarter on a field goal before yield-ing 17 unanswered points. Georgia Tech’s loss drops them to 2-4—their worst start since 1994.

N.C. State 17, Florida State 16

In the nation’s biggest upset of the week, the Wolfpack came back from a 16-0 halftime deficit to shock then-No. 3 Florida State. Quarterback Mike Glennon engineered two fourth quarter touchdown drives, including a dramatic fourth down touchdown pass to Bryan Underwood with just 16 seconds to play. The N.C. State de-fense held the explosive Florida State of-fense to only 16 points and 3-of-15 on third down tries. The Seminoles’ once promis-ing national title hopes now seem like an impossibility.

Notre Dame 41, Miami 3

Notre Dame continued its stellar season with this pummeling of the Hurricanes. Cierre Wood and George Atkinson III led the way, each totaling over 100 yards on the ground. The Fighting Irish’s defense put forth another incredible performance, and has given up just three touchdowns the en-tire season. Miami drops to 4-2, but still has an unblemished 3-0 ACC record.

Blue Devils earn second against N.C. foesby Ashley Mooney

THE CHRONICLE

“It’s all about the process,” Duke head coach Dan Colella said.

And that process is off to a strong start, after the Blue Devils’ season opener at the All-North Carolina Invitational hosted by N.C. State. The men placed second, 359 points behind N.C. State with 1,197 points while the women took third with 956 points, behind N.C. State and East Carolina with 1,563 and 1,383 points, respectively. The event was held at Greensboro Aquatic Cen-ter, which is where the 2013 ACC Champi-onships will be held.

“This was the first time that all the schools in North Carolina have had this invitational,” Colella said. “I wasn’t really sure what to expect and it turned out to be a lot of fun, and it was a great compe-tition. It gave a chance to all the differ-ent schools to swim against other North Carolina schools that they don’t often [compete against].”

Due to illness, only 13 women compet-ed this weekend. Among the competitors was junior Christine Wixted, who won the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard freestyle—an event that she usually does not swim. Sophomore Megan McCarroll finished second in the 100 back-stroke and fourth in the 200 backstroke in 2:05.47.

For the men, the 100 breaststroke was a key event—junior Hunter Knight finished first in 56.92 while seniors Ben Hwang and Jim Zuponeck finished second and third, respectively in 57.04 and 57.09.

In the 1,650 freestyle, senior Alex Har-mon took fourth in 16:32.28 and freshman Meghan Price took sixth in the women’s race with 17:52.37.

“This was a couple weeks earlier than when we normally start the season, so we were really pleased with a lot of perfor-mances—particularly with our freshmen,” Colella said.

Chelsea Ye took second in the wom-en’s 100 freestyle with 52.37 and sixth in the 200 freestyle. She also anchored Duke’s second-place 400 freestyle relay. Kathryn Eckhart placed ninth out of 58 swimmers in the 100 freestyle with a time of 53.73. Linsay Cooper took third in the 100 butterfly, tying with classmate Sam Skinner.

“In [the freshmen’s] first meet, you’re never sure how they’re going to perform but they stood up and did a great job,” Colella said.

Duke’s relays saw some victories as well—the men’s 200 freestyle relay and 200 medley relay and the women’s 200 freestyle relay all recorded first-place finishes.

“We haven’t even really gotten into a lot of our stroke training, so for them to per-form the way they did was a great sign for what’s to come,” Collela said. “There were a lot of small details and mistakes—little mental things that you expect at the begin-ning of the season.”

The Blue Devils will continue to hone their skills in preparation for their home opener in Taishoff Aquatic Pavilion Oct. 27 against Virginia Tech, Florida State and UNC Wilmington.

WOMEN’S GOLF

Duncan finishes fifth, Duke sixth in Georgiaby Jackie Klauberg

THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils did not stray far from par this past weekend. Duke, along with seven other top-10 ranked NCAA teams, hit the links at the University of Georgia Golf Course for the Liz Murphy Preview.

Despite the competitive field of compe-tition, the Blue Devils were not blown off course, however. Duke, who finished the tournament tied for sixth place with a total 888, recorded only one hole worse than a bogey during the three days of play.

Blue Devil head coach Dan Brooks knows how hard that is to do considering the difficulty of the course.

“[Only one hole worse than bogey for the whole tournament as a team] was one of the best stats that I have for the tournament,” Brooks said. “Only one score is thrown out each day, and we only had one hole that was over-bogey in the whole tournament. That’s a really great stat for the team.”

Duke, which finished 12 shots behind the tournament winner and conference foe, North Carolina, was yet again led by senior Lindy Duncan.

The senior from Fort Lauderdale, FL. finished the tournament tied for fifth place at even par, just three shots behind indi-vidual tournament winner Mary Michael Maggio. The Texas A&M senior shot up the leaderboard after day one of play, when she sat tied for 15th place. After shooting a 72 and 74 in her first and second rounds, re-spectively, she shot a 67 in her third round, earning herself the hardware.

Duncan finished well on day three, re-

cording a score of 2-under-par, giving her a total score of 216 on the tournament. Dun-can won this tournament in 2010 by a mar-gin of eight shots, marking her first ever col-legiate win.

Duncan is currently ranked the No. 1 women’s golfer in the nation.

“[Lindy] struggles with setting pretty high expectations for herself,” Brooks said. “They are sort of built in but she does put a good amount of pressure on herself… but [regardless] she absolutely never stops. She birdied the last two holes today. That takes determination.”

The Tar Heels won the tournament with a score of 12-over-par, and Duke recorded a score of 24-over-par.

“It’s a good golf course,” Brooks said. “It’s challenging, and it was wet. Some of the holes were long. There are some par-fours that really play long anyway, and par-ticularly when it’s wet and the greens are bumpy… it’s hard to get as many putts as you want to fall.”

The Blue Devils finished play before a lot of teams were off the course, but knew that they were not in contention to win the tournament.

“We piled in the van and took off [when we finished our last round],” Brooks said. “We had enough information to know that we were not going to receive a trophy.”

The Blue Devils will head a few miles down the road to the Tar Heel Invitational at Finley Golf Course Friday and hope to have the same luck that the Duke men’s team had there just a few weeks ago when they took the title.

middle blocker Elizabeth Campbell each recorded nine kills. Vucich recorded a dou-ble-double, posting 32 assists and 11 digs.

Both sides gave little ground and kept the score close in the opening frame un-til the Eagles finished off the set with a 5-1 run.

After taking leads at 17-15 and 24-22 in the second set, the Blue Devils committed

costly errors that allowed Boston College to tie the score at 24-24. A service ace by Kel-lie Barnum and a kill by Kameron McLain gave the Eagles a 2-0 set advantage.

Boston College climbed out to a 16-12 lead midway through the third frame and finished off the set 25-19. Led by freshman outside hitter Katty Workman’s 21 kills, the Eagles closed out the match and handed Duke its first home loss of the season.

Maryland’s 2-0 victory.Duke has three upcoming non-con-

ference matchups before it closes out the regular season against its final ACC foe,

Virginia. The Blue Devils’ defensive struc-ture was a positive that they can take away from Saturday’s game as they move into the home stretch of their season.

“Our defensive unit played great,” Bus-tin said. “Our backfield organization was fantastic.”

Vernon breaks the ACC receptions record

FOOTBALL

by Jacob LevittTHE CHRONICLE

Going into Saturday’s game against Vir-ginia, senior wide receiver Conner Vernon needed just one catch to break the ACC record for all-time receptions of 232 set by Clemson’s Aaron Kelly in 2008. It did not take him very long. Slightly more than six minutes into the first quarter of the team’s 42-17 win, Vernon caught a pass for a two-yard loss from redshirt sophomore quarter-back Anthony Boone. The catch was Ver-non’s 41st of year and gave the receiver a total of 555 yards on the season.

“He broke the record on not so flashy of a play,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “But 42-17 took care of that. I told him that’s pretty flashy to win it in that fashion.”

Vernon has been the model of con-sistency during his Duke career. He has caught a pass in all 41 of the games he has played, the longest active streak of consec-utive games with a reception. In 40 of those games, he has had multiple receptions. He

did that once again on Saturday just mo-ments after setting the ACC record, catch-ing a 37-yard touchdown from Boone. The touchdown gave him 17 for his career, mov-ing him into a tie for sixth place in Duke history for touchdown receptions.

“The day I stepped on campus at Duke, I never thought I’d be the all-time leader in receptions. It’s just a blessing,” Vernon said.

Vernon added another touchdown at the start of the fourth quarter, moving into sole possession of fifth place all-time for re-ceiving touchdowns at Duke. For his career, Vernon now has 3,230 receiving yards—just 88 yards short of Clarkston Hines’s Duke record for career receiving yards and fewer than 300 yards away from Peter Warrick’s ACC yardage record.

only had one goal,” Church said. “We didn’t have the sec-ond goal or the third goal that would break their spirits. We worked hard enough to get those goals, but we just didn’t finish them.”

When the Eagles retook the field, they wasted no time trying to jumpstart their offense, getting off two shots in the first five and a half minutes.

It was a Blue Devil giveaway, however, that let Boston College back in the game. After a misplaced pass, the Eagles launched a counterattack that freed a lane into the 18-yard-box for midfielder Kristen Mewis, whose nine goals heading into the match ranked her second in the ACC. Mewis calmly slotted the ball in the right side of the net to tie the game with 36:40 left.

With its first-half performance neutralized, Duke re-gained control of the game behind efforts from its two most reliable scorers.

First, Weinberg—who averages a goal per game—col-lected a deflection of junior Gilda Doria’s corner kick in-side the 18-yard-box and scored to give the Blue Devils the lead back in the 64th minute.

“The game got physical in the second half,” Church said. “We got knocked around. We didn’t have the same rhythm of play in the second half, but we still were attack-ing. We still got dynamic attacking players, and we were able to break them down in a different way.”

Then, in the 75th minute, DeCesare scored a goal of her own off Pecht’s ACC-leading ninth assist of the season to add some insurance.

“Kimmy’s been in a little bit of a slump for scoring but that big old grin came across her face when she scored that first goal,” Church said. “So, it was great to see that because she’s such a wonderful person and just does a fantastic job for us.”

The comfort of a two-goal lead did not last long for Duke. Three minutes after their goal, the Blue Devils gave

up a corner kick, and Mewis—ranked second in the ACC in assists as well—found midfielder Kate McCarthy, who trapped the ball near the face of the goal, turned and fired it past Duke goalkeeper Tara Campbell.

“It’s good to score goals,” DeCesare said. “But at the same time, I think we really need to continue to work on

keeping them out of the back of our net.” Although Boston College continued to pressure the

Duke back line, the Blue Devils had the more dangerous opportunities.

And at the 1:44 mark, DeCesare added the insurance goal again. Scoring off Doria’s third assist of the game, De-Cesare took Duke’s lead to 4-2 to secure the win.

“We weren’t too happy with only one goal in the first half,” Pecht said. “So we had to come out strong and play a full 90 minutes, and we put them away in the second half.”
