Duke so far Cook sizzles in 68-40 win over Clemson unscathed by fiscal cliff by Steven Slywka THE CHRONICLE
Quinn Cook bounced back from a cold shooting performance against Wake Forest to lead the Blue Devils with a career-high 27 points as Duke brushed Clemson aside 6840 Tuesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. After going 0-for-11 from the floor in Duke’s last time out, Cook was 12-for-16, including 3-for-5 from behind the arc, to help No. 1 Duke (15-0, 2-0 in the ACC) open the season 15-0 for the second time in three years. Despite notching 14 assists against Wake Forest, Cook struggled to find his shooting touch and was held scoreless for the first time this season. He quickly erased the memory of that game, however, as he repeatedly knocked down big shots for the Blue Devils. “It was just having my confidence. I didn’t let Saturday’s performance affect me,” Cook said. “I just took my shots, my teammates found me, and it was a good feeling to knock a couple down.” Both the Tigers (8-6, 0-2) and the Blue Devils were ice-cold to begin the game, as neither side made a field goal in the first five minutes. Cook finally got things going offensively for the Blue Devils with a beautiful backdoor cut, which led to an easy layup for the game’s first field goal, with 14:32 left in the half. The sophomore point guard then hit Mason Plumlee for a monstrous alley-oop that finally got the Duke offense rolling.

The fiscal cliff was temporarily averted, but it remains uncertain whether student aid and research grants will be cut. Just moments before the Jan. 1 deadline, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act—a package of tax increases, tax cuts and a two-month delay of automatic spending cuts. Although increased tax rates may impact some Duke famnews ilies, the tax legislation will not significantly analysis affect most families or students seeking jobs after graduation, said Connel Fullenkamp, professor of the practice of economics. But the verdict on potential spending cuts—including those to student aid and research grants—will not be determined until March. “The climate for universities is going to be a tough one to navigate for quite some time, but the first thing to do in these situations is to not panic,” said Jacob Vigdor, professor of public policy and economics.

Pratt adds energy Winter Forum challenges engineering minor students to save the ocean from Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE
The Pratt School of Engineering will offer a minor in energy engineering, which will open to applicants starting this semester. The minor was created by Marc Deshusses, professor of civil and environmental engineering, and Josiah Knight, associate professor of mechanical engineering and materials science. Deshusses called energy “the defining issue of this century.” “It’s hard to open a newspaper and not find something related to energy,” Deshusses said in a press release. “There is a lot of emphasis on energy generation, biofuels, solar energy
and the environmental impact of our energy policies. Energy delivery and efficiency are also very current. Several wars can be traced back to energy conflicts.” The minor will be open exclusively to Pratt undergraduates at this time, in order to ensure that students in the minor have the background required to complete technical coursework. But some courses are cross-listed with the Duke Energy Initiative to allow students from other fields to engage in discussions on energy and the environment.

Fire closes Parker and Otis through Jan. by Jack Mercola THE CHRONICLE
Local eatery Parker and Otis will be out of commission for the rest of the month after sustaining damage from a fire during winter break and will be closed temporarily for repairs. Dispatchers from the Durham Fire Department received a call at 7:46 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 26 indicating that there was smoke coming from Parker and Otis, said DFD spokeswoman Sierra Jackson. The restaurant and storefront, located at 112 S. Duke St. in Brightleaf Square, is a popular breakfast, brunch and lunch joint for Durhamites and Duke students. According to their website, its fans will have to wait at least until February to resume dining and shopping at Parker and Otis.
The damage was caused by a fire, heavy smoke and water from Parker and Otis’s sprinkler system, Jackson said. The sprinklers were able to extinguish the fire before firefighters arrived on the scene. The restaurant was set to be closed from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day, according to its website, so nobody was present during or injured by the fire. “It wasn’t a total loss,” she said. The fire was caused by a malfunctioning light fixture in the main merchandise area of Parker & Otis, Jackson added. Parker and Otis sells a large assortment of wares including kitchen appliances and cookware, a library of wines and children’s toys. The total expense of the damage is thus far unknown.

Chinese officials and Duke administratiors—including Provost Peter Lange (seventh from left) and President Richard Brodhead (10th)—attend a ceremony at Duke Kunshan University in December.
Duke announced it will submit its application for final approval of Duke Kunshan University to the Chinese Ministry of Education by April 2013, but approval may not be granted for several months after that. University officials and faculty joined members of the Chinese and U.S. governments and Duke alumni at the site of the new university Dec. 19 to celebrate the Chinese Ministry of Education’s preliminary approval of DKU. Duke received preliminary approval from the MOE last August, and now has to prepare and submit its application for establishment, said Nora Bynum, vice provost for DKU and China initiatives. This step of the process assures the MOE that the new university is ready to open its doors for the 2013-14 school year.

Treatment hones Humpback whales sing in on brain tumors for food as well as mates by Lucy Hicks THE CHRONICLE
A new immunotherapy treatment created by Duke researchers holds promise for patients with aggressive brain tumors. The researchers engineered a protein—bispecific T-cell engager or BiTE—that attacks the cancerous cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The protein locates the tumor and attracts white blood cells called T-cells to attack the cancerous cells. The therapy was successful in six out of eight mice with brain tumors. The scientists’ goal is to adapt the new treatment for humans with malignant brain tumors such as glioblastoma, said Dr. Darrell Bigner, director of the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. If the drug succeeds in clinical trials, it could change the current standard of care for these types of tumors. “If [this treatment] is as successful in patients as it has been in the mice, it would be a completely new method of treating brain tumors and would potentially be much more effective than our current treatments and lack the toxicity of the current treatments,” said Bigner, who co-authored the paper on
the BiTEs published in December in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Currently, a diagnosis of glioblastoma is followed by extensive surgery and toxic treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy, which can kill healthy cells inadvertently. These therapies mutate genes, making the cancer more difficult to treat in the future. “When the patients recur they have thousands of new mutations in the genes and cancer genes,” Bigner said. “Even though you’ve got an additional few months of survival, you have created a very difficult type of recurrent tumor to treat because of these additional mutations.” Even with current treatment, the median life expectancy after diagnosis is just 15 months, Bigner said. Immunotherapy proposes an alternate approach to cancer treatment by utilizing the body’s own defense mechanisms to fight against the tumor. “The protein acts like a little molecular lasso and attaches [the T-cell] to the cancer, allowing those T-cells in our bodies to SEE TUMORS ON PAGE 7
Humpback whales most commonly use songs in breeding season, but Duke researchers found that the whales also sing while hunting for food. The study exhibits whales’ ability to multitask, showing that the marine creatures use their time searching for food as an additional opportunity to attract a mate. Published in scientific journal PLoS ONE this December, the study shows that breeding and hunting are not necessarily separate acts. “They need to feed. They need to breed. So essentially, they multi-task,” said study co-author Ari Friedlaender, an assistant research scientist at the Nicholas School of the Environment, in a Duke news press release. “This suggests
The Fannie Mitchell
the widely held behavioral dichotomy of breeding-versus-feeding for this species is too simplistic. Researchers from Duke, the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and the University of California at Santa Barbara used noninvasive, multisensor tags to record the whales’ underwater movements and vocalizations throughout May and June 2010. The tags were attached to 10 whales along the Western Antarctic Peninsula using suction cups. In two cases, the tags recorded intense and continuous whale singing whose organization and structure signified a typical mating display. In one
case, however, a sensor indicated a whale, or close companion, was lunging for food during an almost hour-long song bout. Although singing for mating purposes is the most common, it is known that humpback whales are known to sing on other occasions besides breeding. Sometimes humpback whales will sing while leading mother-calf pairs along migratory routes. Even though the reasons why these whales sing is not thoroughly understood, it is known that songs sung in breeding grounds are different in their duration, phrase type and theme structure when compared to those heard at other locations and times. —from Staff Reports

Professor uses math to predict cancer growth cancer to develop, so we can get some data from that to tell us where and when to look as well as what to look for.
Rick Durrett, James B. Duke professor of mathematics, has developed mathematical models to describe the growth of cancer cells. The Chronicle’s John Barker spoke with Durrett about his findings and potential applications to medical treatment. The Chronicle: How do you model cancer’s behavior using mathematical equations? Rick Durrett: Well, there are a number of approaches to modeling biological systems mathematically. People use partial differential equations to model blood flow or clotting, and in the same way you can model how cancer cells and normal cells compete for oxygen. When a tumor grows and it doesn’t have blood vessels on the inside, the cells undergo hypoxia— they don’t have enough oxygen—so they switch over to glycolysis, which is an anaerobic method of breaking down glucose that creates acid. Using partial differential equations to model oxygen and blood flow, one can model what cancer cells look like in the bloodstream as well as the interactions between normal cells and a tumor, then make observations from that. Cancer is the end result of the accumulation of mutations. Some, of course, are simpler than others. Retinoblastoma, for example, is a cancer of the retina that occurs in children, and there’s a gene called RB1 where if both of them get knocked out by a mutation, then tumors develop. In other situations though, it’s a more prolonged sort of cascade. In colon cancer, for instance, some genes get knocked out that cause polyps to grow in the colon, and then
Q&A
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Mathematics professor Rick Durrett has developed mathematical models that predict the growth of cancer cells. other mutations come along and follow the road to cancer. We also use stochastic models [which incorporate random variables] to examine biology. Differential equations are good at measuring predictable stuff, like fluid flow. But there’s a lot more randomness in some other systems. In cancer, you might have a kid whose eye is growing, and some cell is going to develop a mutation that causes a retinoblastoma, but a differential equation can’t predict which cell of the many that are “playing the lottery” for cancer will become cancerous. A stochastic model will predict roughly how long it takes for the probabilities of some cells developing mutations at the right times to all combine and cause a
TC: When you develop such a mathematical model, does that inform you about how cancer spreads throughout the body as well? RD: Something like that—I did a collaboration with an undergraduate and two people in obstetrics and gynecology at Duke. They were modeling ovarian cancer—this is a cancer that’s hard to treat because the first time it’s detected, it’s metastasized. If you can detect it before it’s left the female reproductive system, it has a cure rate of about 90 percent, but if you let it go somewhere else, the cure rate, which is really a five-year survival rate, drops to 30 percent. What happens is that the tumor grows, then when it gets large enough, some cells break off from its surface. Some of these cells then attach within the peritoneal cavity, and new tumors start to grow, starting the metastasis process. It’s sort of this two-stage thing which we use a branching process model to figure out. A branching model predicts the likelihood of one generation of individuals, in this case cells, producing descendants of differing kinds, such as cancer cells. The tumor grows sort of exponentially in time, and cells leave at a certain rate. There are three types of cells in the model—the primary tumor cells, the cells floating free in the abdomen and the ones that set down and start metastasizing. A lot of these ovarian tumors are too small to detect with ultrasound until they’re a certain size, so there’s a sort of window of opportunity in which to detect these tumors
through screening, between the time that it’s half a centimeter in diameter to the time when we have more than a gram of metastasizing cells. We used our models to work out how long a tumor stays in that window, and it turns out to be around 2.6 years. In order to sort of “catch” this window, then, you’d need to screen women every two years or so. With these studies, we can work out how best to apply treatments, the costs of optimal screening procedures and things like that. TC: What have you found especially interesting about your work? RD: People are just learning new things about cancer all the time. Just a few months ago, there was this new discovery that there might be such a thing as cancer stem cells, which had been debated for years, and now there’s some experimental evidence. The mathematics doesn’t change all that quickly, but it’s interesting to see what’s being figured out about cancer. TC: You are teaching a seminar this semester on mathematical cancer modeling— could you describe that briefly? RD: There’s a research training grant in mathematical biology, and each semester the seminar has a certain theme. In order to encourage collaboration, they have half of the seminars in the physics building, where the math department is, and the other half in the medical center. Last year it was neurobiology, and now this year the topic is cancer modeling. We’re trying to make contact with some people over in the Cancer Center, so we SEE DURRETT ON PAGE 7

Defibrillators work well in daily life and clinical trials Implantable heart defibrillators have similar survival benefits in everyday use as they do in clinical trials, a recent study shows. Researchers at the Duke Clinical Research Institute compared data from more than 5,300 patients using defibrillators in the daily life to more than 1,500 patients using the device in clinical tests, and both groups showed similar two-year and threeyear survival rates. The data was collected from a large Medicare registry that analyzed the survival rates of patients using implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, a device that prevents sudden cardiac arrest by reviving the heart if it stops beating. The results of the study highlight the real-world applicability of defibrillators. The findings were published Jan. 2 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Patients in clinical trials generally receive better care and are healthier than patients in real-world practice, so the reported benefits of new drugs and medical devices are often more positive than actual results. The inflated expectations do not apply to defi-
brillators however, since the study indicates that the ICDs used in real life match clinical trial expectations. “Many people question how the results of clinical trials apply to patients in routine practice,” said Dr. Sana Al-Khatib, a member of the Duke Clinical Research Institute and lead author of the study, in a press release. “We showed that patients in realworld practice who receive a defibrillator but who are most likely not monitored at the same level provided in clinical trials have similar survival outcomes compared to patients who received a defibrillator in the clinical trials.” The patients used in the study were carefully selected to resemble the patients who participated in the clinical trials. Realworld users of ICDs showed higher survival rates than patients in the clinical trials who did not receive the defibrillator. One limitation of the study it excluded older or sicker Medicare patients. By doing so, the researchers were not able to determine the entire scope of how real-world patients compare to clinical trial patients. “That is an issue, and the only way to get at that is to randomly assign such patients to either receive an ICD or not in a clinical trial,” Al-Khatib noted. “Even without those data however, our study gives patients and their health care providers reassurance that what we have been doing in clinical practice has been helpful, and is improving patient outcomes. Our findings support the continued use of this lifesaving therapy in clinical practice.” —from Staff Reports

CLIFF from page 1 have varying degrees of impact on students depending on their family circumstances, Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, wrote in an email Tuesday. According to the new provisions, individuals with an income exceeding $400,000 or family households with a combined income of more than $450,000 will experience a top tax rate increase from 35 percent to 39.5 percent. But most Duke families will likely remain unaffected by the tax hikes, Fullenkamp said. In 2006, the average income for white families of Duke students was $229,997, $118,316 for black families, $170,980 for Latino families, $153,401 for Asian families and $177,336 for multiracial families, according to a report conducted and published by the Campus Life and Learning Project.

gram that allows approximately nine million families each year to claim a tax credit of up to $2,500 for college expenses. The new bill also makes permanent the Student Loan Interest Deduction and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, which were previously temporary. Both measures are methods of subsidizing expenses for higher education. However, students with campus jobs will see tax increases on their paychecks, Fullenkamp said. The new tax legislation increases payroll taxes, which will deduct more from each paycheck. The bill may also affect Duke’s capital campaign, which hopes to raise $3.25 billion by 2017, Vigdor said. A new limitation to itemized deductions on charitable donations—set at $300,000 for joint filers and $250,000 for single filers—may discourage potential donors from contributing to the campaign. Although such limitations to tax deductions may influence smaller donors, it is unlikely to affect the overall success of the campaign, Fullenkamp said. He added that large donors base their donations on how their
gift will be used and commemorated, and therefore are unlikely to be deterred by the new measures. Half of the battle was settled in the tax dispute, but Congress may be in for a even more ferocious debate as they attempt to mediate differences over spending cuts in March, Schoenfeld said. Any solution Congress agrees upon may yield significant implications for financial aid, research and health care, he added. “At this point, trying to predict what Congress and the White House [will decide] will be a frustrating exercise, but we need to be prepared for a number of potential outcomes,� he said. Although it may be too soon to determine how federal spending will change, academic institutions have a strong argument for averting large-scale cutbacks, Vigdor said. “What we have on our side is a strong case and reason: investing in our future,� he said. Furthermore, financial aid, general education and basic research do not comprise a large portion of the congressional budget, Vigdor said, adding that completely cutting spending in the education sector would have little overall effect on the federal budget. Instead, departments such as defense, social security and Medicare will be much more likely to see cuts, as they represent the bulk of government spending. Political pressure from voters who are concerned about student debt may also discourage legislators from instituting significant cuts to student aid, Fullenkamp said. Relying on legislators to independently fight for maintaining federal funding for education and research, however, would be a mistake, Vigdor warned. Instead, academic institutions and individuals must actively petition for continued government aid. So far, Duke has participated in coalitions advocating for continued funding for student aid, research and tax policies that benefit students and the institution—areas the University deems its priorities, Chris Simmons, associate vice president for federal relations, wrote in an email Tuesday. He added that some of the University’s largest concerns include spending cuts to student aid and research such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. The University received the 13th-most federal funding for research in fiscal year 2010. But Fullenkamp believes funding to such scientific research program grants will remain largely untouched, though federal grants in the arts may be affected. “I would be very surprised if funding for scientific research grants got cut severely,� Fullenkamp said. “Congress people are very wary of cutting programs that may lead to scientific discoveries that may fuel economic growth.�

thought one way of doing this would be to publicize the seminar series.

TC: How would you say your mathematical models apply to cancer research and treatment? RD: I don’t work all that closely with doctors or medical researchers, but I’m looking forward to collaborating with people who have more of that medical connection through the upcoming seminar. One of the most exciting applications of this stuff is how to use mathematics to improve treatment—what is the most effective way to apply radiation therapy or chemotherapy, or how often should surgeries be done? You can also use these models to look at breast cancer and the kinds of breast cancer that people have, then optimize a treatment based on the behavior of the cancer system that you’re dealing with. TC: What are you working on right now that ties into all this? RD: Well, right now we’ve been looking at some spatial models. Again, as in the work on ovarian cancer, you generally assume that there’s this growing population of cancer cells. But a question we were asked was, what does the spatial variability of the mutations look like, and how are these different kinds of cells distributed? For example, if you have a tumor growing within a breast, you might have different kinds of cancer cells present but only get some of them in a biopsy, and if the others aren’t responsive to the treatment you devise, you won’t fix the problem. To deal with that, we’re trying to understand the spatial variability of heterogeneity. I work on this from a very mathematical end of things, and it’s probably going to be a while before this stuff really translates into something in the clinic, but I find it interesting to work on things that at least have something to do with the real world.
TUMORS from page 3 discern between the cancer cell and a healthy cell,” said Bryan Choi, M.D.-Ph.D candidate at Duke and co-author of the study. Because the therapy engages the natural immune system of the patient, it is much more specific in cell selection and much less toxic than current therapies, potentially reducing the painful side effects associated with radiation and chemotherapy. The drug, administered intravenously, is also capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, a historically challenging obstacle for larger molecules such as this coupled antibody. When given to the mice intravenously, the protein localized the tumor site within the brain, which is a crucial step in the therapy. “The fact that it gets across the blood brain barrier

Exploring a wide range of styles, geographies, and theories of cinema, we will develop an apprecia on for the diversity of film history. We will look at the transforma ons the cinema has undergone over the past century as well as the ways that we, as spectators, have been transformed along with it. Monday classes will involve a lecture followed by an occasional film screening.

Junior Lauren Morrison, a regular at the restaurant, said she will miss Parker and Otis as it stays closed while mending its damages. “Parker and Otis has always been one of my favorite places to go in Durham—I go almost once a week,” she said. “I was really looking forward to going once I got back from abroad. I went earlier last week and was disappointed to find it was closed. I wish them the best of luck, and I’d like to support Parker in Otis in any way.” is key because if you cannot deliver the drug there, then it’s never going to work,” said Dr. John Sampson, associate deputy director at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center and co-author of the study. The intravenous administration is also much less laborious than current immunotherapy involving Tcells. “In a lot of therapies that are going to target T-cells to tumor cells, you actually have to take the T-cells out of the body, grow them in a lab, and infect them with a virus,” said Sampson, who is also a professor of surgery, immunology, pathology, radiation oncology and neurosurgery. The next step for this drug development involves altering the receptors to bind to human antibodies instead of mice antibodies. The long-term goal is to increase production of the drug to begin clinical trials on humans.

OPEN ROMANCE STUDIES COURSES ~ SPRING 2013 Creole 101.01 Elementary Creole I Prof. Pierre ~ MTThF 8:30-9:30 ~ Languages 305 Introduction to the essential elements of Haitian Creole (Kreyòl) language and aspects of Haitian culture. Provides practice in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing language, culturally contextualized through units on health care, Haitian women’s rights issues, and unpaid child servants (restavèk). Students will acquire enough vocabulary and idioms to be able to interact with Haitians. No pre-requisite. FL French 337 French Scientists Write Prof. Bell ~ TTH 10:05-11:20 ~ Languages 305 Texts by pioneering French scientists in various historical periods: Descartes, Diderot, Claude Bernard, Henri Poincaré, François Jacob. No science prerequisites; not a technical course, but an exploration of the elegance and clarity of best scientific writing in France. Taught in French. ALP CCI FL French 490S.01 French Canada/ Stage and Screen Prof. Moss ~ TTH 3:05-4:20 ~ Languages 312 This course will explore performances of French-Canadian history, identity, and modernity in theater, cinema, and the global phenomenon of Cirque du Soleil, with special attention paid to the representation of historical, social, and political conflicts, gender and sexuality, familial relations, linguistic difference, and other ethnic identities. Taught in French. Canadian 390-3S.01 ALP CCI FL French 490S.02 Surrealism: Aesthetics/Politics Profs. Saliot ~ TTH 1:25-2:40 ~ LINK Seminar 3 Surrealism is one of the most popular avant-gardes of the twentieth century. This course introduces the basic principles and central issues of Surrealism by investigating its relations with modernism. We will examine many Surrealist strategies (automatism, hypnosis, collage, found objects), themes (dreams, sexuality, dépaysement, objective chance), and political agendas across a wide range of verbal sources and visual artifacts. Throughout our voyage into the “dangerous landscapes” of Surrealism, the boundaries and interfaces between disciplines and media will be continuously questioned. Taught in French.

This course explores the emergence of this poetic tradition from the margins of legal records in Bologna and the invention of the sonnet in Sicily to the debates between Dante and Cavalcanti on love and the divided subjectivity of Petrarch. Using dual-language editions, students will examine the linguistic texture of these works, as well as their specific material manifestations in later editions as they are recuperated and reused in later efforts to construct national, regional, and literary identities, both in Italy and abroad. ALP CCI FL
Italian 590S-1 Love, War, Corsairs, Empire Prof. Finucci ~ W 4:40-7:10 ~ Languages 211 The Mediterranean has always been imagined as a crossroads between East and West, North and South, as well as a multicultural area uniting (or dividing) Europe, Asia and Africa, the center as well as the border of Western civilization. It is where antiquity was located, where cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism were first played, where the Catholic West met (and sometimes fought) with the Judaic-Islamic East, and where food, commerce and climate gave unity to otherwise divided identities. In this course we will try to identify the modes by which the Mediterranean was represented in the long early modern era, retracing the discourse of the “Other”, narratives of the “Turk”, stories of conquest and surprising accounts of slavery and of Barbary corsairs. Medren 690S-2/ Arthist 590S-2/Lit 590S ALP CZ CCI EI Portuguese 390S Cine-reality: Brazilian Documentary Prof. Furtado ~ TTH 11:45-1:00 ~ Friedl 126 Since the mid-1990s Brazilian cinema has gained new vitality, as demonstrated by the international success of films like Central Station (1998), City of God (2002), and Elite Squad (2007). During the same period, the documentary form has undergone an even more impressive resurgence, going from complete obscurity to the international visibility garnered by films like Bus 174 (2002) and Santiago (2007). Moreover, some of the most experimental directors in Brazil have favored the documentary rather than the fictional form. This course examines Brazilian documentaries from a variety of perspectives, examining the relationship between cinema and reality as well as between documentary and fiction, the relevance of changing media and the ethical implications of specific films and film practices. AMI 390S/Lit 390S ALP CCI R Portuguese 490S.01 Black Brazil: Race, Nation, Culture Prof. Aidoo ~ TTH 1:25-2:40 ~ West Duke 108A Explores the history and present-day conditions of Afro-Brazilians, looking specifically at the uses of race in Contemporary Brazil, political and cultural movements among Afro-Brazilians, domestic politics and its external dimensions, and Brazilian race relations within a global comparative framework.

Through novels, essays and films, the seminar will explore how Hispanic/Latino/as writers, thinkers and filmmakers from Spain, Latin America and Latino/as in the US are engaging with national and global issues impinging on the politics of migration and identity formation. The seminar will be taught in English. Spanish majors and minors could choose to read available literature in Spanish as well as to write in Spanish.

Students will read extensively concentrating on critical approaches articulated from Latin America—not just about Latin America—including many texts by artists. Students will read and analyze the primary textbooks used in surveys of Latin American art history in the US, and think about the most productive ways to teach this history.

The word, referring to what is new and up-to-date, relates to the present and the future rather than the past. This course reflects on Brazil’s relationship to the modern and to modernity by examining a variety of cultural texts, including modernist manifestos, essays, song lyrics, and literary works. We will pay particular attention to modernismo of the 1920s and tropicalia of the 1960s and 70s, movements that attempted to radically reimagine global modernity and Brazil’s place within it. One of our main questions will be: to whom does the present belong? Conducted in Portuguese. ALP CCI FL
Prof. Walsh ~ W 4:40-7:10 ~ Soc Sci 105 Olivella’s work spans more than 50 years and crosses multiple fields linking the lived realities, spirituality, and thought of the African diaspora in the Caribbean and the Americas. He is one of those rare and still littleknown intellectuals who struggled to confront both the prevailing racism of his native Colombia and the broader human and colonial condition. We will explore the epistemic-existential contribution of Zapata Olivella, examine his critique of coloniality and his shaping of a decolonial perspective, thinking, and method, and consider how his multiple works enable and position histories, logics, and humanity otherwise.

Romance Studies 590 Thinking Images: Diderot to Digital Profs. Saliot/Garrèta ~ T 4:40-7:10 ~ West Duke 08A From the time of Diderot to today, media ecologies have been in unending flux; the legal status of images and their circulation has shifted; cultural and social regimes of visibility have mutated more than once; images and their theories drive and register the successive shocks of modernity. We will analyze both theoretical and literary/visual works which problematize a belief in the image’s capacity for approaching and expressing the real and which question the uses to which images are put, and the cultural logic embedded in the act of gazing.

In this class we will explore Wikipedia from the inside out, joining its community as editors rather than simply users. Once we are familiar with its inner workings, we will trace the historical roots of Wikipedia, locating it in the constellation of other Western attempts to achieve universal knowledge. This approach will illuminate the hidden assumptions that drive Wikipedia and allow us to rethink the history of encyclopedic knowledge from a contemporary perspective.

Spanish 490S-2.01 Latina/o Autobiography and Memoir Prof. Milian ~ TTH 10:05-11:20 ~ Soc Psy 128 This seminar explores a variety of representations of the autobiographical voice, textual authority, and the boundaries between fact and fiction. In what ways do the stories of Latino and Latina cultural workers reconstruct factual and fictional modes of their subject formation and distinctive moments in U.S. society? And what do these articulations alter in relation to “unifying” values, traditions, and sociopolitical memberships? Of particular concern is how these cultural producers live and literarily represent both the America and the Latin/o America of their time, interrogating how self, place, and “community” are negotiated.

activities. It marked the first time since the forum began four years ago that the event was held somewhere other than Duke’s main campus. “Here in Beaufort, all of the topics are so relevant,” said Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost of undergraduate education. “[The students] are going out to real places.... Doing it at Duke has been wonderful, but this takes it one step closer to reality.” The Nicholas School of the Environment made the decision to offer the Marine Lab as a venue both because it felt that it would offer a strong educational program and could increase the visibility of the lab on Duke’s main campus, said Lisa Campbell, Rachel Carson associate professor of marine affairs and policy. Students spent Sunday, the first day of the Forum, attending a series of lectures to gain
a better understanding of some of the current issues surrounding the planet’s oceans, Campbell said. The students were then given the opportunity to apply their knowledge by venturing into the Beaufort community on Monday and working through designated conflict scenarios and seeking information to help them make decisions, Campbell said. Examples included a group who spent the day on fishing boats to learn about the consequences of recreational fishing and a group who visited a wetland, observed the wildlife, while examining water samples in a laboratory in order to learn about wetland issues. “They’ve just been able to have more interaction than past forums did,” Campbell said. Danish Husain, a junior who attended the forum, praised both the speakers and the activities, citing a speech by President Brodhead
and seeing dolphins in the wild as highlights. The Marine Lab has limited housing, so this year’s forum was slightly smaller than last year’s, with about ten fewer participants, Nowicki noted. In addition, fewer students applied to the program—with about 150 applicants, compared to last year’s 250. Nowicki suggested that the decline might have been due to the fact that students needed to return to campus one day earlier than in past years to accommodate travel to Beaufort, or because students might not have wanted to be on the coast during the winter. Overall, however, most students seemed to view the locale as an asset, with Nowicki saying the forum was the best Duke has ever had. “Being there went along so well with the theme,” Husain added. Nowicki noted that preparations for the 2014 Winter Forum, which will be hosted by the Center for Child and Family Policy, have already begun.

This course examines the social, historical, ethical, and poli cal issues surrounding reproduc ve technologies. The course looks at a myriad of different reproduc ve technologies of the last one hundred years, and interrogates our understandings of both reproduc on and technology. Topics include: egg and sperm dona on, birth control, abor on, steriliza on, prenatal tes ng, assisted reproduc on, and adop on. This course looks at the ways in which these technologies have been used variously to conform to, subvert and expose social norms about reproduc on, as well as interroga ng the means by which medicine and science are implicit in the cultural construc on of those norms.

Mason Plumlee is Coach K’s “guy” by Andrew Beaton THE CHRONICLE
Mason Plumlee is Mike Krzyzewski’s “guy.” “Mason’s our best player,” the Duke head coach said. “I’ll take Mason any day. He’s my guy. I’m a one-guy guy.” Plumlee has been Duke’s guy all season—he leads the team in both points and rebounds with 17.7 and 11.4 per game, respectively. He also paces the team with a 61.6 field goal percentage. But the honeymoon is over for the senior forward, who is a midseason favorite for the National Player of the Year award: He is coming off his three lowest scoring outputs of the season and scored a season-low eight points in the Blue Devils’ 68-40 win against Clemson Tuesday night. To Plumlee’s credit, he also grabbed 13 rebounds and tied the game high with five assists. But he also turned the ball over six times, struggling on the block against fellow senior Devin Booker, who snatched 15 rebounds and scored 12 points. “Mason and Booker—nobody won that matchup,” Krzyzewski said. “That’s a win for us. Booker is their best player. If Booker doesn’t have

Mason Plumlee recorded a season-low eight points against Clemson and has seen his scoring output dip in Duke’s last three games. a dominant performance, we have a better chance at winning.” Plumlee and Krzyzewski identified two reasons for his dip in scoring: scouting and double-teams. Now that the Blue Devils are in ACC play, teams not only have half a season’s worth of film on Plumlee, but they also have experience coaching against him from prior seasons. “Coaches play against coaches who have played against you for four years,” Plumlee said. “They know what teams do. They know what they’re going to take away. I think that’s the biggest difference coming into league play.” In the games against Davidson and Wake Forest, in which he scored 10 and 13 points, respectively, Plumlee faced regular double-teams on the block. That resulted in a six-turnover performance against the Wildcats, but he did not force shots in either game, making a combined 9-of-15 attempts. Tuesday, Plumlee was not consistently double-teamed against the Tigers, but Krzyzewski pointed out that Booker—who, at 6-foot-8, weighs 250 pounds—has all the strength needed to guard him one-on-one. Squaring off against the burly big-man, Plumlee made just 3-of-9 field goal attempts. “There will be a man and a half or two guys running at me sometimes, not all the time, but when it’s one-on-one, I have to be able to score, play through contact and finish,” Plumlee said. Plumlee took advantage in the situations when Clemson decided to double-team him, tying a season high with five assists. Four of those five assists came on 3-pointers, two of which fed Quinn Cook, who recorded a career-high 27 points in the effort.
The Blue Devils have struggled to outrebound teams this year, but they outmuscled the Tigers on the glass and prevented them from grabbing too many offensive rebounds.
Plumlee has become Cook’s “guy” as well lately— after Cook went 0-for-11 from the field against the Demon Deacons, he said Plumlee was the first member of the team to text him. “He told me you’re a great shooter, just keep shooting and believe in yourself. That’s the ultimate confidence builder,” Cook said. Plumlee though, may need to rebuild some of his own confidence, at least at the free throw line. He was hitting 69.2 percent of his free throws entering the Davidson game, a dramatic 16.8 percent improvement compared to last season, but has struggled lately, making just 43.8 percent of his free throws in the last three games. And his ball handling has also slipped after a steady start to the season. He recorded six turnovers against both Clemson and Davidson, compared to just two against Virginia Commonwealth, which forces the most turnovers per game in Division I, earlier in the season.
Like in the Virginia Commonwealth game, Plumlee was thrust into an important ball handling role against Clemson when the Tigers began employing a fullcourt press in the second half. This time, though, Plumlee and the Blue Devils struggled against the press, forcing a furious Krzyzewski to call a timeout. “We’ve played better against the press,” Plumlee said. “I thought we would handle it no problem.” Despite these struggles—with that term being relative in an All-American caliber season—Plumlee has never wavered on the glass. He has averaged 10.7 rebounds per game in the last three contests, while also averaging 1.7 blocks and a steal per game. And as the Blue Devils continue ACC play against N.C. State this weekend, Krzyzewski will look for Plumlee to still be his “guy” just as he was Tuesday night. “We don’t win the game without Mason,” Krzyzewski said.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Blue Devils stay undefeated, beat BC 90-53 Duke never relinquished that lead, extending it to 55-20 by the end of the first half. Five Blue Devils scored at least eight points in the opening period, led by juniors Haley Peters and Tricia Liston, who added 12 apiece. “I felt like Duke made every single shot in that first half, whether it was transition, whether it was a three-point shot, whether it was a tough-driving layup,” Eagle head coach Erik Johnson said. “Tricia Liston hit a shot with a hand in her face, coming off the screen, going away from the basket. That’s what great teams do.” The Blue Devils’ tight defense limited Boston College’s open looks at basket in the first half. The Eagles, who entered the matchup hitting 41.7 percent of their field goals and 35.5 percent from 3-point range, made just 7-of-24 first half field goals and 2-of-10 3-pointers. “Duke is as solid a defensive team as you’re going to see individually and collectively,” Johnson said. “They can stop you one-on-one, and their helps are excellent. They mix defenses, so as soon as we became successful attacking a defense in a particular way, they switched.” With Duke holding a comfortable lead, however, the second half was a different story. Boston College came out to play, and the result upset McCallie, even though the Blue Devils had the game in hand. “I was very mad,” McCallie said. “We didn’t come out sharp. Our defense in the second half really needs to pick up.” Scoring 13 more points than they did in

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.—Sunday was a day of tying records for Duke women’s basketball. In a 90-53 victory against Boston College, the Blue Devils made 23-of-29 first- half field goals, matching the all-time school record for a half of 79.3 percent set in 2001 against Davidson. With 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, junior Chelsea Gray notched her second career triple-double, tying former Virginia star and DUKE 90 current South Car53 olina head coach BC Dawn Staley for the ACC record with two triple-doubles. “It feels good,” Gray said. “It’s exciting to hear that. Coach [Joanne P. McCallie] looked at me and said, “Get one more assist!” Coming off a poor shooting performance against a middling N.C. State squad Thursday, the No. 3 Blue Devils looked to reassert themselves as one of the most efficient teams in the country. They reached that goal Sunday afternoon against the Eagles. “Against N.C. State we did not play together,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “We didn’t move the ball, we were impatient, the shots went up very quickly and we didn’t establish our game. Today [we] did a good job of establishing our presence.” The Blue Devils (13-0, 3-0 in the ACC) dominated an overmatched Boston College (6-7, 0-2) squad from the opening whistle, jumping out to a 12-2 lead in the first 3:06.

Christmas came early for Duke basketball and head coach Mike Krzyzewski: Jabari Parker—the No. 2 overall player in the class of 2013—will be a Blue Devil. Parker announced his decision Dec. 20 in the gym at his high school, Simeon Career Academy. “In the fall of 2013, I will be attending Duke University,� Parker said. �[Krzyzewski] knows a lot. He comes from a real prestigious background.� Parker said staying close to home, Duke’s academics and Krzyzewski were the primary reasons he chose Duke. In a long, back-and-forth recruiting battle—primarily between Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and Krzyzewski—Duke finally prevailed over the Spartans, as well as BYU, Florida and Stanford, to win the 6-foot-8, 220-pound small forward’s services. “I think Jabari Parker is about as big of a priority as I’ve seen Mike Krzyzewski put on a kid in a long, long time,� ESPN Senior Recruiting Analyst Dave Telep said just weeks after the Duke coaching staff arrived to Parker’s open gym in a limo last fall. Krzyzewski’s persistent efforts have paid off. A truly unique prospect and prodigious talent, Parker can do it all on the hardwood. With a silky smooth jump shot, NBA size and a remarkably polished offensive repertoire, the Chicago prep basketball prodigy has game and body that bears an eerie resemblance to a young Carmelo Anthony. Perhaps even more special is his character and work ethic. His devout Mormon faith differentiates him from his peers.
Unlike many young superstars, Parker shies away from the spotlight and puts the team above himself at all costs. His father, Sonny Parker—who played in the NBA—and his caring mother, Lola, have played invaluable roles in keeping Jabari on the right path while navigating through an incredibly hyped high school basketball career and recruiting process. The hype, however, is warranted. Playing in one of the most fierce high school basketball hotbeds in the nation, Parker has led Simeon Career Academy to threestraight state championships. As a junior, he was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year, and last spring he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, being described as “the best high school basketball player since LeBron James.� With his senior campaign now underway, Parker will try to lead his squad to an unprecedented fourth-straight title, a feat that’s never been accomplished in bigschool Illinois basketball. Parker, however, is not in top form. While playing for the U.S. U-18 National Team over the summer, he sustained a foot injury, which required surgery. Consequently, the setback put him on the shelf for several months, forcing him to miss much of his final summer on the AAU circuit. Recently, Parker returned to the court and is slowly working his way back into game shape. While recovering through the fall, Parker’s recruitment escalated. He took official visits to Michigan State, Duke, Florida and BYU, before December. Following the official visit to Durham, SEE PARKER ON PAGE 16

FOOTBALL
Duke learns the lesson of inches in the Belk Bowl There are two types of sports movies— ones that end with a team achieving the ultimate triumph and ones that end with a team pushing itself to the limit, only to come up short by the slimmest of margins. Duke’s first postseason appearance since 1994 was bookended by Hollywood endings. The Blue Devils had their ultimate triumph when they stunned Daniel archrival North Carolina in the final seconds to earn bowl eligibility, and Duke’s magical run to the Belk Bowl ended in the most gut-wrenching, heartbreaking way possible: A 48-34 loss to Cincinnati in which Duke appeared on the precipice of victory. After playing a nearly flawless first quarter of football and subsequently allowing Cincinnati to get right back into the driver’s seat with 27 unanswered points, the Blue Devils scratched and clawed their way back into the contest. Despite a number of breaks that did not go its way, Duke found itself with a golden opportunity—the team stood a few yards away from the game’s decisive score as the clock ticked down. The Blue Devils appeared destined for the same euphoric Hollywood ending they experienced by vanquishing the Tar Heels. But after fumbling the ball six yards from paydirt and allowing the Bearcats’ star tight end to hit the seam for an 83-yard backbreaker, it felt as though Hollywood’s best had rewritten the ending to Duke’s story this season. Al Pacino said it best in the movie “Any

Duke couldn’t hold on late against Cincinnati and learned a lesson about the little things, Carp writes. Given Sunday.” Football is the consummate game of inches. “Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean… one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it,” said his character, a football coach. “One half second too slow too fast, you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in every break of the game, every minute, every second.” There is no question that Duke had a number of opportunities to defeat an athletic and talented Cincinnati squad. But inch by inch, the Blue Devils allowed these chances to slip through their grasp. “We didn’t finish our opportunities,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “It was as

simple as that.” Running backs Juwan Thompson and Jela Duncan had chances to help Duke put this game away early. Thompson ran a beautiful wheel route down the right sideline and quarterback Sean Renfree found him for what appeared to be a sure touchdown. The pass hit Thompson’s outstretched fingers, but fell harmlessly to the turf for an incompletion. The Blue Devils would have to settle for a field goal. Duncan’s chance came when Duke boasted a 16-3 lead and threatened to increase its advantage to 20 points early in the second quarter. Renfree found Duncan with a pass over the middle, and the freshman rumbled powerfully toward the goal line. But as he lunged for the goal line, Duncan was stripped by Cincinnati’s Greg Blair just 12 inches outside of the end zone. “This really is a game of inches,” senior wide receiver Conner Vernon said. “There were just so many momentum swings in that game—it was really exciting. We were that close a few times and we came up short.” After the Bearcats had fought back into the game and took a 17-16 lead, Duke had the chance to take the lead back heading into halftime with a field goal attempt as time expired. Ross Martin, who had earned freshman All-American honors this season, stepped up and nailed a career-long 53-yard field goal. But the play was blown dead due to a substitution penalty by the Bearcats, and when Martin attempted the kick again, this time from 48 yards away, he missed wide left by a matter of inches.

With Tiger senior Devin Booker battling Plumlee in the paint and Clemson defenders collapsing on him every time he received the ball, Plumlee responded by quickly finding the open man on the perimeter. He hit senior forward Ryan Kelly and Cook for treys on successive possessions as Duke raced out to a 13-6 lead. Clemson’s shooting woes continued throughout the first half, however, as stifling defensive pressure from the Blue Devils held the Tigers to just 12 percent shooting from the field in the first half. At one point, the Tigers went nearly eight minutes without a basket, with Duke opening up a 12-point advantage. Clemson only managed to score 10 points in the first half, and Duke went into the break up 25-10. “It was just a hard game to score,” Krzyzewski said. “Thank goodness our defense was a little bit better than their’s tonight.” The stellar defensive performance by Duke was overshadowed however, by an injury to Kelly. The senior forward hurt his foot at some point during the half. Although it did not appear to limit him offensively—he had 12 points and six rebounds in the first period—he did not play the entire second half with what the team referred to as a right leg injury. After the game, Krzyzewski confirmed that Kelly injured the same foot that bothered him earlier in the season. “Ryan hurt his foot, we don’t know the extent, but it is the same foot,” Krzyzewski said. “We’re hopeful it’s not real serious, but for precautionary reasons we felt it wasn’t good to play him in the second half.” Kelly’s absence was felt when the Tigers

the first half on 9-of-21 shooting, the Eagles capitalized on the Blue Devils’ second-half defensive slide. “When we controlled what we could control, we were successful even against one of the best defensive teams in the country,” Johnson said. On the offensive end, Duke made half of its second-half field-goal attempts, finishing the game making 36-of-55 shots, good for a 65.5 percent clip. Duke hopes to continue its offensive domination and work out its second-half defensive woes when it takes the court Thursday against Clemson. As for Chelsea Gray, McCallie believes that it is only a matter of time before the talented point guard breaks the ACC triple-double record. “She’ll be getting more of those I’m quite sure because she’s not afraid to get physical,” McCallie said. “Chelsea, to me, is the very best at that, which makes her a very special point guard in all senses of the word.” This article originally appeared online Jan. 6
implemented a fullcourt press about five minutes into the second half. “Ryan is usually inbounding the ball against the press, and we didn’t inbound the ball well.” Krzyzewski said. With Mason placed in the unfamiliar position of inbounding the ball against the fullcourt press, he turned the ball over as Tiger point guard Adonis Filer stole the inbound pass and converted an easy layup to bring the score to 34-22 with 15:32 remaining in the game. Then, even after Krzyzewski called a timeout to go over the inbound procedure, the Blue Devils still struggled to break the press. The next time, Mason got the ball in to Tyler Thornton, but the
with 15 rebounds. “Between Mason and Booker, no one won that matchup,” Krzyzewski said. “And that’s a win for us. Booker is their best player and if he doesn’t have a dominant performance, we have a better chance of winning.” With Booker held in check, the offensive burden fell to the Tigers’ other players to knock down shots, and they could not step up against the Blue Devil defense. Clemson shot made 15-of-53 field goals— good for 28.3 percent—as the Blue Devils held the Tigers to a season-low 40 points. “We played really good defense tonight,” Krzyzewski said. “To me, that was the story of the game.”

junior guard was quickly trapped in the corner and made an errant pass right to Clemson guard Jordan Roper. With the opportunity to bring the deficit to single digits and give the Tigers some much needed momentum, Clemson’s offensive struggles continued, however, as Roper’s 3-point attempt rimmed out. Thornton quickly atoned for his mistake as he connected from deep to extend the lead to 15 and the Blue Devils never looked back. Plumlee finished with eight points and added 13 rebounds while he limited Booker’s impact offensively.

PARKER from page 13 rumblings began to surface that the official visit went very well for Duke, and a renewed sense of optimism spread amongst the fan base, who until that point had predominately felt Michigan State might have the slight lead. Since setting the announcement date, the Spartan and Blue Devil fan bases have been on pins and needless knowing that the fate of a championship run could hinge on Parker’s announcement. Ultimately, Duke won Parker over in a nail bitter. This, however, is not the first time Krzyzewski—a Chicago native himself— has experienced recruiting success at his old stomping grounds. The all-time winningest coach in college basketball has secured commitments from Windy City products Jon Scheyer, current assistant coach Chris Collins, Corey Maggette, Sean Dockery and Shaun Livingston. Parker’s pledge, however, gives Krzyzewski one of his most talented players to ever come to Durham. Many recruiting experts feel that Parker is one of the best high school basketball players to come along in the last decade. “He’s up there with Jason Williams,
Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Greg Oden,” Telep said in an interview earlier this fall. As talented and impressive as Krzyzewski’s current squad is—currently ranked No. 1—next year’s bunch could have an even higher ceiling. Similar to the makeup of his U.S. National Team last summer, Krzyzewski will have one of his most versatile, athletic and deep lineups of the past decade at his disposal. Duke will likely return starters Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon, as well as reserves Amile Jefferson, Tyler Thornton, Josh Hairston, Marshall Plumlee and Alex Murphy. Redshirt senior Andre Dawkins should be back on the court. The Blue Devils will then add talented Mississippi State transfer Rodney Hood, as well as promising incoming freshmen Semi Ojeleye, Matt Jones and the likely centerpiece of the team—Jabari Parker. And as his career draws nearer to an end, Krzyzewski’s blueprint for the 2013-14 Duke team has finally come to fruition, and it’s a squad that promises to make another serious run at a national championship.

party provider Coursera, are supposed to provide a way forward even in a future where classroom-based education appears backward, and perhaps make some money to boot. And the always lauded “interdisciplinary” of the Duke curriculum, it is said, is a response to complex problems of the modern world that exceed the dogmatic clutching of old-fashioned disciplines. This is not to mention upcoming financial challenges. Modifications to Medicare, Medicaid and national research spending invite a response from the Duke University Health System. And the persistently discouraging economic climate has significant implications for how the University operates more
generally. Already, Wesleyan University has given up a previous commitment to needblind undergraduate admissions because of the stress it placed on its budget. At Duke, financial aid represents a large slice of endowment spending every year, even as the endowment struggles to catch up to its pre-recession growth rates. This, of course, while students across the U.S. are saddled with debt—it is no wonder that a culture of “credentialism” exists at Duke, nor that the investment banking, consulting and law remain alluring to Duke students. The University’s dynamism and adaptability have been given pride of place in the current fundraising campaign, and justly so: If the
liberal arts idea faces an existential threat, donors ought to be convinced that Duke can weather it and weather it well. But the challenge this year, just as it was last year, is not to ask how can Duke change, survive and thrive. It is to ask how the University can survive, thrive and, in the same breath, sustain what is essential without compromise. By our lights, the liberal arts don’t yet need saving. But as the liberal arts continue to evolve at Duke and elsewhere, it is important to remember that their chief virtue is not that they teach us how to answer questions— they teach us how to ask them. And it is just that that the reinvented Duke needs to sustain.

Item six: Kick the bucket (list)
B
ecoming a senior feels sort of like watching a petty disagreement between two elderly women erupt into a bar fight. Suddenly you realize: “S#*% just got real.” If the pressure to get a job or go to grad school wasn’t enough, some masochistic person created a bucket list of unofficial graduation requirements of silly activities for us complete by graduation. This would be no big deal if we didn’t already have a chunk of T-reqs to finish—shout out to seniors sony rao who still aren’t done with getting buckets those (like me). since 1991 In an effort to calm the majority of students at Duke who procrastinate on everything except the most recent episode of “How I Met Your Mother” (really, Barney, really?), I have taken on the burdensome responsibility of creating a new bucket list. My bucket list is much easier to complete and probably much less meaningful. Plus, many items on old lists have become outdated: Wearing a tutu to tailgate would be shunned now and Google maps wouldn’t even work down in the tunnels so we would all get horribly lost. The last item on my bucket list is one of those annoying “what-not-to-do” items that many have already done. The last item is: Don’t make any lists. This is not an attempt at witty hypocrisy, but if it were it would be a darn good one. This is an attempt to prevent many of you, from freshmen to, well, freshmen, from painting a picture of your entire college career before you have even started to sketch. I, like many others, had an ideal vision of what I would accomplish in college and wrote down a list of these noble goals. I wanted to travel around the world. I wanted to get through a week without eating Panda. Some goals have been easier to fulfill than others. And now, looking back at that list, I find myself a bit disappointed at what I haven’t been able to do. I wish more than anything that I could go back to Southgate dorm and try it all over again. But I can’t—mostly because I no longer have card access. During the break, I was at a holiday party moaning about my lost youth to an elderly woman who looked like she wanted to stick a fork in me. I realized that life isn’t over after college. I don’t need to fulfill that list of college goals to feel like I’ve achieved everything I wanted at Duke. I consoled myself for the things I never got to accomplish. (Even though I didn’t go a week without eating Panda, maybe their food is healthy after all. I am fairly certain they use real oranges to make the orange chicken.) And I decided that in my final months at Duke, I would worry less about finishing this list and more about valuing the things that I had forgotten to write down: spending time with friends and freezing under a tarp as it snows outside. Realistically, the list of goals you want to fulfill in college often comes before you even figure out who you are, which is something I’m still trying out to figure out after three-and-a-half years and many bottles of wine. It’s okay to walk in here wanting to be a doctor some day. But micromanaging every step to get to that goal in four years will only leave you with poor college memories and an unhealthy relationship with Perkins. So scrap the list. Enjoy the twists and turns of the journey. No comprehensive list can tell you what will make you an “accomplished” Duke student or when it’s okay to wear a tutu. And four years is not enough time to fulfill any worthwhile dream. If someone comes to you with their “life” plan, tell them to shove it in an uncomfortable place and experience Duke as you want to experience it. This column will be about the list of things that I have done that were never on my bucket list in college. They are unconventional and personal. My goal is not to add to any existing bucket lists but to prove that some of the best experiences are ultimately unlisted. But seriously, go watch the last episode of “How I Met Your Mother.” Sony Rao is a Trinity senior. Her column runs every other Wednesday. You can follow Sony on Twitter @sonyrao.
