TRAVIS PORTER CANCELS AFTER SOUL SEARCH by Esau “hairy twin” djina and Señor Teeth Inspector THE CHOMICLE

After learning of student backlash against Travis Porter’s allegedly sexist lyrics, the group has decided to take a break from their musical career in order to start their own feminist blog, “Vagina Real Good.” “Honestly, after we heard about all the Duke students hating on us, we realized that it was time to make a change,” said Strap, one of the group’s members. “We’re excited to delve into the feminist world, and we’re inspired by Duke and, of course, Nicki [Minaj].” He will be live tweeting the event from a feminist perspective, so he can call out instances of inflammatory lyrics. “I conceive of this concert not so much as a musical but a pedagogical opportunity to initiate interpersonal understandings and critique the power structures that so often go unnoticed in the contemporary liberal state,” Strap said. Members of the band said they will also attend Ground of Common Being to further their understanding of the female mind in a matter of three days. Junior Taco Jobia, executive vice president of Duke Students for Traditional Gender Roles, critiqued the decision for violating freedom of speech, a right protected by the First Amendment, he added. “The majority of students shouldn’t suffer at the hands of the minority, especially when most of the bros I talked to were totally fine with the songs,” he said.

Free market advocate Chapel Hill criminals takes over The Chomicle cross over into Durham by Alabama Nat’l Park THE CHOMICLE

Zhonathan Jhao will serve as the editor of The Chomicle’s 109th volume after usurping the title from editor-elect Daniellita Moooyo Tuesday night. Jhao, a freshman with a Ph.D. in economics and women’s studies, said Moooyo’s gender would restrict the publication from reaching its optimal productivity level. Especially because Chomicle staffers are not paid, having a woman in charge would throw off the highly technical balance of labor demand versus production quality, he said. “Before I begin, I’m not sexist,” Jhao said. “I was just concerned about the idea of a female leading The Chomicle. It’s not a viable option in today’s free market.” Moooyo, a sophomore, yielded the title

when she saw how commanding Jhao looked in a bow tie. She noted she is excited to have more time for childbearing in the very near future. “I’m disappointed, but I realized my long hair and tendency to wear dresses prevented me from managing effectively,” she said. “On the bright side, this will give me more time to focus on getting my M.R.S.” Junior Taco Jobia, incoming Do Something? Government vice president for injustice and exclusion, said he is thrilled at the shift in power. Jobia believes The Chomicle, infamous for its history of female leaders, could use a little patriarchal spice. “Jhao will stir up much-needed controversial discussion of social issues in the student body,” Jobia said. “Honestly, I can’t get enough of him.”

Durham and Chapel Hill are separated only by a 17-or-so kilometer length of road, approximately. There are no tanks, anti-aircraft turrets, drone patrols and at least 5 people take the Bobertson bus each day without showing their GoPass. In mid-March of 1983 on a sunny spring day, a student from Chapel Hill came to Duke and toilet-papered Cameron Indoor Stadium. He also stole a book from the library without checking it out. It can thus be concluded that all violent crimes and most cases of grand theft auto in

Junior Taco Jobia, vice president of communications for Duke Students For a Closed City Border, argued that the lack of checkpoints violates the basic human rights of Duke students. “Those of us who pay private school tuition deserve some separation from those thugs down the road,” he said.

THE CHRONICLE

Steve Aoki and Kendrick Lamar will take Duke by storm during today’s Last Day of Classes celebration. Contributing to the festivities along with Aoki and Lamar will be opening act Blank 281, a Blink-182 cover band. Also in the lineup are Bad Rabbits, a postrhythm and blues group from Boston, 5 & Dime, a DJ and producer from Philadelphia and Travis Porter, a hip-hop trio. Senior Bo Triplett, co-chair of the LDOC Committee, said this year’s LDOC will have a “music festival” vibe. “[It’s] what we call an interactive village,” Triplett said. “We’ll basically have a number of different vendors... selling things and giving things away.” Triplett said this year‘s committee wants to make LDOC “cohesive” to allow for an easy transition from daytime activities to the concert in the evening. He named a rock wall, massages on the quad, bounce houses, miniature golf and a silent disco as some of the highlighted activities. In order to be permitted on the Main West Quadrangle, students must be wearing their LDOC wristbands—which were distributed earlier this week—and carry their Duke ID at all times, Triplett said.

Brodhead will brief the Board at the May 10 meeting about the status of the DukeOpen proposal in PSC process, Schoenfeld added.

Regarding an upcoming vote about the future of Duke’s online education, some faculty members feel they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Faculty have yet to vote on whether or not Duke should offer online courses for credit, but administrators have already signed a contract to do so in the Fall. Many professors have concerns about the platform Duke has chosen—Internet education company 2U’s Semester Online—as well as a lack of communication from the administration throughout the planning process. As the Arts and Sciences Council prepares to revisit this issue Thursday, some members feel that they are in a position where they must choose between a consortium that they do not want Duke to participate in or back out of online for-credit courses completely. Last Fall, Provost Peter Lange consulted with several faculty committees before signing a contract with 2U, which committed Duke to offering for-credit online courses along with several other universities. The website has since publicly promoted Duke as a partner, as well as a specific Duke political science course. Neither the decision to pursue online courses for credit nor the decision to sign with 2U specifically was voted on by any faculty governing body or committee. “The fact that the contract was signed before Arts and Sciences voted on it is not a sign of transparency,” said Wahneema Lubiano, associate professor of African and African American studies. “It’s a sign that certain select individuals on committees and in the upper levels of the administration knew everything that was happening, while other members of the faculty didn’t have access to what was going on.” The contract is contingent on whether or not Arts and Sciences Council votes to support any for-credit online courses, regardless of the platform, this Thursday, Lange said. Some faculty are still discontented, however, because a vote in support of online

BOT redirects transparency push by Raisa Chowdhury THE CHRONICLE

DukeOpen, a new student coalition advocating for greater endowment transparency, was redirected after petitioning to meet with the Board of Trustees at their May 10 meeting. The coalition created a proposal in early April asking the Board of Trustees to make periodic reports to the Duke community about how the University’s money is being invested. DukeOpen intended to present the proposal at the Board of Trustees’ meeting, but Vice Preisdent and University Secretary Richard Riddell, in consultation with President Richard Brodhead, redirected the proposal to the President’s Special Committee on Investment Responsibility, said Bobo Bose-Kolanu, a first-year graduate student in literature and DukeOpen member. The PSC considers whether proposals regarding specific investment responsibility concerns are legitimate and, if so,

refers them to the Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility. The ACIR then conducts research and makes recommendations to the President, who then decides whether or not to forward recommendations to the Board of Trustees. To ensure the Duke community has access to investment information, the DukeOpen proposal would make it mandatory for the PSC and ACIR to publicly disclose their reports of endowment holdings. “It’s inappropriate for our proposal to go through PSC—it’s inappropriate to ask those committees to decide on their own freedom,” said junior Jacob Tobia, a member of DukeOpen. “We feel that it’s only appropriate for the President and the Board to look over it.” Those who have business they would like bring in front of the Board may submit proposals to Riddell up to a month in advance. DukeOpen submitted its proposal April 1, more than a week before

Price reform could raise cost by Kelly Scurry THE CHRONICLE

Health care pricing reform laws may pose risks for patients. A number of state legislatures have passed price transparency laws to combat the hidden and variable costs of health care. The pricing laws are intended to make pricing more fair for patients but some analysts fear the policies may not have the intended effect. Health care procedure costs are difficult to standardize in part because of the multitude of variables that affect pricing including hospital and health insurance coverage and the long term effects of the policies are uncertain. “The more expensive health care option [is chosen] because the people who are choosing are often the doctors,” said Peter Ubel, Madge and Dennis T, McLawhorn University professor of business, public policy and medicine at The Fuqua School of Business. Even when patients are aware of the cost of a procedure, they may still equate more costly procedures with quality, Ubel said. “Many times people don’t know what their options are,” he added. “Doctors don’t know the cost and patients don’t know the cost.” Ubel added that doctors usually direct patients toward procedures at hospitals where they have practicing privileges or know the physicians. The prices charged by hospitals and physicians is often a behind-the-scenes negotiation between health care providers and insurance companies. Hospitals often charge patients dif-

ferent rates based on their insurance and their ability to pay Ubel said. Transparency laws will give patients access to information about potential overcharging. “Hospitals can charge what they can get away with or what insurance companies will pay,” he said. “Insurance companies are one group with an incentive to lower health care costs. If one insurance company gets too stingy then the hospital can decide to not treat patients covered by that company.” Rises in hospital costs in the United States also depend in part on demographic shifts and technological advances, said Ken Morris, senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer of the Duke University Health System. Nationally, costs have gone up for commercial payers to compensate for the increasing number of people on Medicare, which does not fully reimburse health care providers for their services. Hospitals that treat patients on Medicare and Medicaid are sometimes at an economic disadvantage in comparison to independent providers that can decline to treat Medicare and Medicaid patients and thus charge lower rates. The new state policies could have the effect of reducing the quality of care offered at hospitals that treat those on Medicaid or Medicare. “Hospitals may need to lower costs to remain competitive which may mean that hospitals may need to stop doing expensive but also cutting-edge procedures, such as bone marrow SEE TRANSPARENCY ON PAGE 44

Event fosters ties among disease experts by Anthony Hagouel and Tony Shan THE CHRONICLE

A recent symposium sought to foster closer professional connections between infectious disease researchers at Duke Medicine and its Singapore campus. Insights and Solutions for Emerging Infectious Diseases, a two-day symposium, was held Apr. 22 and 23 to bring infectious disease researchers at Duke together with their colleagues at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore. Twenty researchers from the Singapore campus traveled to Durham for the event, where faculty from both campuses presented their research. “Research is always successful when you collaborate with people who have different expertise,” said Soman Abraham, professor of pathology and coorganizer of the symposium. “We want to show people what each of us are doing, and hopefully build sustainable bridges over time.” Although the individual pre-

sentations focused heavily on academia, LinFa Wang, director of the Program in Emerging Infectious Diseases at Duke-NUS, said the event would ideally help foster relationships by helping to put faces to publications. “Nowadays, the publication industry is all online, so learning at these conferences is not as big of a deal,” Wang said. “The most important thing now is having personal contact, and that’s exactly what we want to do.” The symposium is intended to be the first in a series of similar events dedicated to building transnational connections, Wang noted. If this event is well received, the other four signature research programs offered at the Singapore campus will likely hold symposiums of their own— potentially in Durham or in Singapore. The collaboration would be mutually beneficial, Wang said. “The uniqueness of DukeNUS in Singapore is that it’s not just another local institute,” said Eng Eong Ooi, associate professor of the Emerging Infectious

Diseases Program at Duke-NUS. The Singapore campus would especially benefit by having greater collaboration between the two campuses and having senior faculty from Durham join the institute in Asia, Ooi added. Organizers hope that the series of symposiums to come will garner student interest and encourage them to become more involved in the Duke-NUS research programs, Abraham said. More opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to study and conduct research at the Singapore campus are likely to be developed in the future. A number of current immunology and pathology students also attended the presentations. “It’s just really cool to see the research that’s going on here and go to the presentations in this small personalized setting,” said junior Becky Leylek, a biology major who has taken graduate courses in immunology. “Everyone gets to know each other pretty well.”

Photographer capturing tragic image describes scene by Kelvin Ma BLOOMBERG NEWS

BOSTON — What happened April 15 is not something you mentally prepare for. The first blast occurred less than a minute after I had photographed a Tufts University runner crossing the finish line. There was some confusion as to what had happened. I thought it was a cannon, much like we hear every Fourth of July at the Boston Pops concert on the Esplanade. No one seemed quite sure what had happened. Then the second blast went off, farther down Boylston Street. Pandemonium erupted as spectators knocked over the crowd-control barriers and scattered. I made a few pictures of the injured emerging from the smoke on wheelchairs. I couldn’t see much through the haze, so I ran up the photo bridge, suspended above the finish line, to get a better view. At heart, I am a photojournalist, having worked for newspapers and wire services for the better part of the last

10 years. We often ask ourselves how we would react in a tough situation, because invariably, we end up covering fires, shootings and other tragedies. This was different, though, and I had no idea what I would see from the top of the bridge. Right away I knew it was bad. I saw people with horrendous injuries, one in particular that was difficult for me to look at, or photograph. The man, later identified as Jeff Bauman, had lost both legs below the knee and was being carted away on a wheelchair as the now well-known peace activist Carlos Arredondo sprinted beside him, applying tourniquets to both limbs. The response from emergency personnel and bystanders was impressive, a description that even now seems inadequate, given what they did. Those who ran toward the blast scene, without giving thought to their own safety, easily outnumbered the victims, three to one.

Every single one of those people is my hero. We were evacuated off the bridge shortly thereafter, at which point I texted my mom that I was OK and sent out a two- word Twitter message — “I’m OK.” — for everyone else. I then contacted Bloomberg News, and the photo editor, Graham Morrison, encouraged me to find a place to sit down, regain my composure and transmit the images I had captured. I was running on pure adrenaline and had no idea what to do, but Morrison’s reassurance and counseling through all of the trauma and chaos helped me stay grounded in the situation. After securing an Internet connection in the Prudential Center, I pushed my photos to the wire. I sent more emails and made more social media posts to let people know I was OK, and then headed back toward the SEE BOSTON ON PAGE 6

TRANSPARENCY from page 2 transplants,” he said. New advanced technological procedures tend to be expensive, Morris noted. With transparency laws, hospitals that are currently charging low prices might have to negotiate with companies to be able to charge higher prices but conversely, those that are currently getting a higher rate might see the rates other hospitals are getting and push to lower their rates, wrote Martin Gaynor, E. J. Barone professor of economics and health policy at Carnegie-Mellon University in an email Apr. 17. “Most of health care spending is accounted for by a small percentage of very sick people,” Barone added. “These patients have very high expenses and most of them are beyond the point where they pay part of the bill—insurance is picking it up.” DUHS has been proactive in taking efforts to reduce costs for patients = through charity and discount programs for those who can not afford to pay for essential medical services, Morris said. He has also organized meetings with Duke health care providers and insurance companies to review cost calculations and discuss improving patient options. Ubel, who is also a physician and faculty member at the School of Medicine, said the number of people without health insurance is likely to decrease with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, so the only people without insurance will be undocumented immigrants, low-income people in states that did not expand Medicaid coverage, and people who choose to pay the fee for not having health insurance. “[These groups] will be very price sensitive and will only seek treatment when it’s necessary and get to the point where they don’t care about the cost and the hospital has to eat the bill,” he said. Gaynor stated that even if consumers had access to full pricing information about procedures, some patients may still prioritize other factors such as location, quality and reputation when choosing health care options. “This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care about price transparency, but we should be realistic about what to expect from it,” he said.

ONLINE from page 1 Speak of the Devil for-credit courses also means automatic participation in 2U Semester Online. If the faculty votes against the proposal, the University will be unable to partner with 2U or any other online education platform, pending another vote. “People feel like they are either going along with something that narrows our options or backing out of a contract,” said Jocelyn Olcott, director of undergraduate studies for history. Forcing the hand Although Lange said he has the authority to enter into agreements such as this one, some faculty feel that it should have been a University-wide decision because it affects the quality of the Duke curriculum. Arts and Sciences is not the appropriate body to determine external partnerships, said physics professor Steffan Bass, a member of the Executive Committee of Arts and Sciences Council. But with Thursday’s vote on online curricula, the council can effectively kill the University’s agreement with 2U. “Even though it’s not really [the council’s] decision, they can force the hand of the provost,” Bass said. The University issued a press release about 2U in November, and the topic had come up in various faculty government meetings. But the official 2U partnership was not formally discussed with Arts and Sciences or Academic Council until the April 11 Arts and Sciences Council meeting. Some members of the council reported that they were taken aback by the presentation. “There’s the perception that we faculty have not been given enough time to think this through,” ancient history professor Mary Boatwright said. “We would just like more discussion and input on the format that 2U is offering.” Micaela Janan, director of undergraduate studies for classical studies, said the discussion about 2U has stayed mainly within small committees, but it should be open to the faculty as a whole before they make a decision. “If we’re puzzling over facts such as why is Duke advertised on the 2U site already... then there are many more questions to answer,” she said. ‘Into the arena’ Although faculty are not necessarily opposed to online for-credit courses, many have still raised concerns about whether or not Duke should be a pioneer for elite schools in this field. Although a handful of Duke’s peer institutions— such as Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology—have offered online courses for credit, Duke is still one of the first top colleges to pursue this type of education. Some faculty members have questioned Duke’s rationale for experimenting with this curriculum model because the format has yet to establish a reputation of success among elite schools. “The administration at Duke has the unfortunate habit of always being in a state of panic about being in second place,” said Thomas Pfau, Alice Mary Baldwin professor of English and professor of German. “[Duke is] always overeager to jump into the arena.” But others have said it is in Duke’s best interests to innovate in online education. Because Duke is so young, it has the flexibility to experiment, said Emma Rasiel, associate professor of the practice of economics, who plans to teach a Semester Online course. “We haven’t been afraid to pioneer and try to pilot new ways of teaching,” Rasiel said. “The benefit of having the pilot is we’ll have the first-mover advantage.” At the Arts and Sciences Council meeting earlier this month, some faculty expressed concerns that the University’s potential partner schools through 2U are not of the same caliber as Duke. The partners include Boston College, Brandeis University, Emory University, Northwestern University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Notre Dame and the Washington University in St. Louis. Bass supported the decision to partner with 2U, saying that if Duke were to latch onto another top-tier school’s venture such as Harvard and MIT’s online education platform edX, it would be considered a “junior partner.” With 2U, however, Duke is a “senior partner.” “Is the 2U consortium the best possible online consortium for Duke? Or immensely suited for Duke? No, I don’t think so,” Bass said. “It’s not the best, but it’s probably the best available.”

scene, taking some more photos along the way. The outpouring of support from the photojournalism community has been incredible, whether it be from people I’ve known for years or someone I just met on Monday. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to have such supportive brothers and sisters in my corner every step of the way. I tracked down the last runner I photographed before the blast and gave her a hug. Down to a matter of seconds, it really was a miracle she was standing there unscathed.

I have never been so happy to see someone I hadn’t met yet. Around 9 p.m. Tuesday, I saw a familiar face on the New York Times website. Jeff Bauman, whose horrific injuries had kept me awake the night before, had survived and was stable in a local hospital. Learning that he had made it lifted the heavy cloud that had engulfed me. His recovery will no doubt be long and difficult, but he is still with us. What struck me most about the horror of the situation was not the devastation and the chaos, but the fact that so many people ran toward the danger to help those in need without giving a second thought about themselves.

That seems to be a recurring thread in everyone’s recollection of what happened, and it can’t be repeated enough. As a member of the media, I will inevitably receive negative comments and criticism about the photos that I took, because some people disagree about what the public should and should not be able to see. I understand that. Yet as a professional witness, I don’t know how else to show not only the evil of the world, but also the compassion and humanity that ultimately overcomes it, like the actions of the first responders and volunteers who dove headfirst into the smoke to save so many lives on Monday.

said. “Given the volume of research that we’ve done and the quality of the results, we’re very frustrated that the administration is reacting this way… We feel our proposal is not being taken seriously.” In DukeOpen’s meeting with Riddell last Monday, Riddell said he had only read parts of the proposal and it was evident that he was not aware of the contents of some of the documents submitted with the proposal, Tobia said. Schoenfeld noted that the established PSC process ensures that concerns are reviewed in a thorough and fair way. “DukeOpen is a serious, thoughtful proposal about a very complex issue and it will be given equally serious and thoughtful consideration by the university through the well-established process,” Schoenfeld wrote in an email April 18. Riddell and Brodhead could not be reached for comment in time for publication. Duke for Endowment Transparency, a group created in 2009 that also called for more open information regarding the University’s endowment transactions, received the same response that DukeOpen did from administrators, said junior Lucas Spangher, a DukeOpen member who has lead the group’s research efforts. Duke for Endowment Transparency was also referred to the PSC, and after the involved students left for the summer, their efforts fell apart, said Spangher, who is also a former columnist for The Chronicle. The PSC, chaired by Provost Peter Lange, will consider DukeOpen’s proposal at their meeting May 7, Bose-Kolanu wrote in an email Saturday. DukeOpen has been consulting with Lange on its work with the proposal. “It’s not the case that everyone who you think of as an administrator has responded in the same way— many have been positive in directing our research efforts,” Bose-Kolanu said. “At the end of the day I think those are the voices that will carry the way and we will be able to build a successful and responsible endowment at Duke.” Lange could not be reached for comment in time for publication. DukeOpen is continuing to meet with student group leaders, faculty and administrators to garner support. So far, people have been receptive to their message, Bose-Kolanu said. “We’re optimistic that the people who have expressed support will continue to express support… because this is a global issue and has a bearing on all of us,” he said. “We’re not fazed.”

The money the committee has allotted for the concert cannot afford to have non-Duke students attend the concert, he added. “It’s a really big security measure,” Triplett said. “In theory, if you’re a Duke student, you should have an ID and it shouldn’t be a problem.” Triplett cited the presence of the “A Team”—a group of staff, faculty and adult volunteers intended to monitor activity at the concert—as an additional security measure. “One of the misconceptions of the A Team is that they are going to get people in trouble, but they’re there to make sure things run smoothly,” Triplett said. “In years past students have felt freaked out or drunk kids have been rude to the A Team. They do this for free, and they help us.” Freshman Catherine White said she is excited to

experience her first LDOC, but noted that she can’t let LDOC let her lose sight of her academic goals. “I’m getting more excited as it’s approaching, but I have two papers due tomorrow so that’s on the forefront of my mind,” White said. Most importantly, White said she has been looking forward to this event all year based on what she has heard from upperclassmen. She noted that LDOC is a great way to close the year. “It’s a celebration to a good year and I look forward to partying all day and all night,” White said. “My only regret is not YouTubing Steve Aoki so I could sing along with all the songs.” Senior Brandon Locke said that he’s especially excited for this year’s LDOC because of the headliners. He noted that his best LDOC experience occurred last year, when he lived in Few in a room overlooking the quad. “It’s always fun to bring the benches out and sit out with [everyone] and drink on the quad,” Locke said.

Carroll provides veteran leadership The things

we forgot

by Lopa Rahman THE CHRONICLE

After four-and-a-half years of active service in the United States Army in Iraq and Afghanistan, Casey Carroll was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime—the chance to return to his alma mater as a first-year student at the Fuqua School of Business and play the sport he loves. “Knowing that I wanted to go to business school and play another year of lacrosse, [returning to Duke] was a no-brainer,” he said. “When I came back to Duke, it didn’t feel like I was going back to school as much as it felt like I was coming home.” A first-team All-American as a senior in 2007, Carroll had a year of athletic eligibility remaining after suffering a season-ending knee injury during his junior campaign. But his desire to enlist in the military took precedence over his athletic career. “Growing up, I always had an interest in the military, and after September 11th, I knew that I absolutely wanted to join the military at some point,” Carroll said. “I just wasn’t sure in what capacity.” When Army Sgt. James Regan was killed in February 2007 during his deployment in Iraq, Carroll’s indecision regarding which branch to enter quickly vanished. A member of the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Regan lettered in Duke lacrosse from 1999 to 2002.

Duke hopefuls await NFL Draft by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE

Duke’s senior class cemented its legacy at Wallace Wade Stadium when it led the team to its first bowl appearance since the 1994 season. This weekend, former Blue Devils will have a chance to carry that legacy into the NFL ranks. Wide receiver Conner Vernon and quarterback Sean Renfree headline a class that hopes to garner Duke’s first selection in the NFL Draft since tackle Drew Strojny was picked in the seventh round by the New York Giants in 2004. “It’s definitely exciting, at the same time, I’m kind of nervous,” Vernon said. “At this point it’s just going to play out. We’ll let the chips fall where they may and I’ll end up where I end up.” The first round of the NFL Draft will take place Thursday at 8 p.m., followed by the second and third rounds Friday at 6:30 p.m. and the fourth through seventh rounds Saturday at noon. Vernon is widely regarded as Duke’s most prized NFL prospect, becoming the ACC’s alltime leader in receptions and receiving yards after catching 85 passes for 1,074 yards and eight touchdowns during his senior season. He is expected to be selected sometime on the third day of the NFL Draft, likely sometime between the fifth and seventh rounds. “If I had a guess, I feel like I will be

Christian Laettner scored 2,460 points in his Duke career. Almost everyone who has ever attended this University remembers two of them, a pair of tallies which lifted the Blue Devils over Kentucky in what some commentators have called the greatest college basketball game ever played. But there were 2,458 Tom others, and I mean no offense to Laettner when I say that most of those were pretty ordinary. There were free throws in blowout games, wide-open jumpshots, breakaway layups—shots he’d practiced tens of thousands of times and would make 99 times out of 100. Laettner himself has likely forgotten most of them. Certainly even his most ardent fans and detractors have. This is true in every sport. The vast majority of plays aren’t notable. Three-yard runs up the middle on second down. Routine grounders to third. A drive, a chip and a putt on a par three. Whether as participants or spectators, we forget about them not long after they happened. At the end, what you’re left with, though, is a career, a sum total of all those ordinary forgotten things, with a little bit of extraordinary mixed in, both good and bad. And while it makes for good conversation, it strikes me as incomplete that the words we hear so often as we come to the close of our Duke careers are “memory” and “remember.” We are writing the story of our Duke careers with these final conversations, and history is often written as if lives are made and lost in those singular gleaming moments when everything is perfect or disastrous, in the stories we will tell for as long as we have voices to tell them. But to say that is to ignore the everyday achievement, the middle ground, the days when magic didn’t happen. The mornings it rained, the nights you were bored, the assignments you got done without fanfare, the games that didn’t go down in record books. All those times someone asked how you were doing and you said “fine” or “pretty good” simply because there wasn’t a story that needed to be told. It’s not exactly enthralling to think back on all the filler that occupied the gaps between the best of times and the worst of times, but what if someone counted all those little triumphs the way they counted Laettner’s layups? What if there was a way to keep track of the times you had dinner with a friend who just needed someone to talk to? What if grades actually reflected the fleeting satisfaction of banging out a decent but unspectacular paper in the wee hours during those “Duke weeks” when the whole academic and extracurricular world seemed to be crashing down around you? What if every freighted teardrop and every peal of laughter went down in a massive scorebook? How different would our stories be then? Those seemingly mundane hours not only constituted the bulk of our time while we were here, but also the majority of our growth, as we changed one grain of sand at

selected,” Vernon said. “Again, nothing is guaranteed. So there’s still work to be done either way.” In addition to participating in the Senior Bowl, NFL Scouting Combine and Duke’s Pro Day since the conclusion of his senior season, Vernon also received the opportunity to participate in a three-day mini-camp with two quarterbacks who have earned Super

Bowl MVPs in Eli and Peyton Manning. Joining the Manning brothers were some of the top receivers in the league: Wes Welker, Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas, Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks. Vernon said that working out with these players give him a taste of life as a SEE DRAFT ON PAGE 13

Blue Devils start slow, rally to top High Point by Zac Elder THE CHRONICLE

After dropping all three contests in last weekend’s series against No. 1 North Carolina, the Blue Devils overcame a lategame deficit to take down High Point 5-4 Tuesday night. Freshman Michael Matuella pitched seven innings and gave up only one earned run, and sophomore Andrew Istler finished off the Panthers (22-21) in the ninth inning after Duke (23-20) rallied from one 4 HP run down in the bottom 5 DUKE of the eighth thanks to key hits from Chris Marconcini and Kenny Koplove. “It was rough fashion, but at the end of the day a win is a win, and against a quality, well coached club,” Blue Devil head coach Chris Pollard said. “Even though you don’t like to give up a lead the way we did, at the same time you learn something about yourself when you have to battle back in a ball game like that.” Pollard set a tentative 80-pitch limit for Matuella after the freshman tossed 1.2 scoreless innings in relief Sunday against North Carolina. After Matuella exited, sophomore Andrew Istler, the Blue Devils’ top reliever with seven saves on the

But the normally sound Istler could not hold onto the lead in the top of the eighth, letting High Point back in the contest. After popping up the first batter he faced, the sophomore surrendered a double to Devin Bujnovsky when centerfielder

Grant McCabe and shortstop Angelo Le Bruna miscommunicated on a fly ball in shallow centerfield and allowed it to drop in between them. Then Stephen Wytiaz doubled down the left field line to bring home Bujnovsky and tie the game at three. Rightfielder Ryan Retz,

the Panthers’ most dangerous hitter, singled home Wytiaz to finish off the scoring and give High Point a 4-3 lead heading into the bottom of the eighth. The Blue Devils did not take long to strike back. Betts led off with a walk, and Marconcini ripped his second double of the day to bring in the tying run. After Mark Lumpa made the first out of the inning with a sacrifice bunt to move Marconcini over to third base, Koplove knocked a single over the shortstop’s head to bring home the go-ahead run. Duke stranded two runners on base to end the eighth, and Istler shut the door in the ninth to pickup his second win of the season after blowing the save. “Losing a lead and then having to turn it around in the bottom of the eighth, we showed some guts,” Pollard said. “We didn’t show great execution in a lot of the things we did today, but we showed great guts.” Matuella got to work quickly in the top of the first, setting the Panthers down in order on just six pitches to start the game. High Point managed to scratch across a run in the top of the second after third baseman Jordan Betts overthrew first base on a routine groundball, allowing the leadoff hitter to advance to second and even-

tually come around to score. Duke got on the board in the bottom of the third after Jeff Kremer singled home catcher Ryan Munger with two outs, drawing the score even at one. Then Betts battled through an eight pitch at-bat before knocking a single into right-center to bring home Kremer and give the Blue Devils the lead. Marconcini followed suit by recording his second hit of the day and scoring McCabe. Marconcini would finish 3-for4 on the night with two doubles, two RBIs and a run scored. “He made a really good adjustment in the third game against North Carolina,” Pollard said. “He really carried that forward into today and had really good at bats. I think he’s in a good place now, he’s made some good adjustments, and hopefully he can carry that forward the rest of the way.” After Duke took the lead in the third, Matuella allowed just one more run before his exit in the eighth inning. The freshman finished the day with an impressive stat line—one earned run, three hits, three strikeouts and one walk in seven innings pitched. “Composure, poise, competitive fire, all those things. [Matuella] showed me a lot today,” Pollard said.

From the field to press row It was the fall of my junior year of college, and I could no longer flaunt my Duke lacrosse backpack around campus, my Duke Card would no longer swipe into the K Center and weirdest of all, I would no longer Jackie be defined as a varsity athlete. Ever since I was a little kid, I was passionate about sports and lived for athletic competition. I was a jock and the token tomboy who played soccer at recess with all the boys while the girls played patty-cake. I had been playing lacrosse for the majority of my lifeâ€”since the first gradeâ€”so I had no idea what life would be like without it. After my passion and fire for lacrosse had burnt out, I made the tough decision to step away from a game I had once loved and pursue my other interests and hobbies: including journalism and writing, pickup basketball, squash and golf, all of which had been put on the backburner for so long. It was a scary and very unfamiliar world without lacrosse, but one that has brought me to some of the happiest moments of my life and some of the most loyal, dependable friends I could have ever imagined. It was a beautiful September day at Duke, and I was a junior with no

Klauberg

affiliations on campusâ€”being a collegiate lacrosse player had previously defined my life. So I decided to go to the annual activities fair on East Campus, an event primarily intended for freshmen to find themselves a group or club that they might be interested in joining. Despite feeling a bit out of place, attending the fair was one of the best decisions I made in college. It was at this event that I was introduced to The Chronicle. Not only was I drawn in by the friendly writers tabling for the newspaper, but also the idea of writing for the sports section was extremely appealing. The thrill of being able to cover a menâ€™s basketball game as a reporter for the newspaper was just enough to tip me over the edge into becoming a â€œChronicler.â€? What I have found over the past two years, however, is that often times the lesser publicized Duke sports are the most fun to cover. Though I am no longer a collegiate athlete, I have remained closely tied to Duke athletics, as my position as a staff writer and associate editor for The Chronicle has further connected me to the school by offering me the opportunity to meet numerous student-athletes, coaches and members of the athletic department. Writing for The Chronicle has provided me with the liberty to entrench myself in sports in a way more suitable and enjoyable to me nowâ€”watching, analyzing and writing about them. Though at times I would dread

having to sit down, transcribe quotes and write a decent article, seeing my work in print the next day is always totally worth it. But even more rewarding is the time I got to spend in The Chronicle office with the incredibly diverse, hard-working staff of a nationally-acclaimed newspaper. If you are unable to find me at a Duke sporting event or in Au Bon Pain doing work, you will likely find me in The Chronicle office. Even if I am not writing or editing that night, I find myself going up to the office just to hang out with all of my closest friends. For the first two years of college, I had no idea what went into putting together a daily newspaper on a college campus. Now, I know, and I have a newfound respect for those who voluntarily contribute and produce so much quality content every day. The countless hours student writers and editors spend up in The Chronicle office working can far exceed the amount of time an athlete spends on a practice field, but their efforts often fly totally under the radar. Though I am no longer a studentathlete, I still feel incredibly attached to what I am so passionate about in sports and collegiate athletics through my work with The Chronicle. I have found a new clique, a new affiliation. The Chronicle is my new niche, and I am honored to be a part of it. I guess you could say Iâ€™m â€œChronicallyâ€? obsessed with it.

DRAFT from page 11 professional football player. He added working alongside Welker and Cruzâ€”two of the leagueâ€™s top talents who both went undraftedâ€” gave him some perspective on this weekendâ€™s draft. â€œThatâ€™s taught me that itâ€™s not the end of the world if you go undrafted because the NFL is littered with guys who go undrafted and have great careersâ€”Hall of Fame careers,â€? Vernon said. â€œLook at a guy like Tom Brady, he was taken in the sixth round and heâ€™s a threetime Super Bowl champion and heâ€™s probably the best quarterback doing it right now.â€? It appeared that Renfreeâ€™s NFL Draft hopes were derailed when he had surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle the day after Dukeâ€™s Belk Bowl loss to Cincinnathough Renfree ti. Although hasnâ€™tt recovered to full strength rength since the surgery, ry, a number of mockk drafts still have him being selected as high as the fifth round. Mel el Kiper Jr., ESPNâ€™s NFL Draft guru, called Renfree onee of hiss favorite sleeper picks of earâ€™s draft class. this yearâ€™s â€œI like the fact that he has size, ize, I like his arm. I like that he was with David Cutcliffe for five years,â€? Kiperr said in an interview with BuffaloBills.com. aloBills.com. â€œHeâ€™s a Matt Hasselbeck, elbeck, Matt Schaub type to mee so I like Renfree in the

fifth round area.â€? In a year that boasts a weak quarterback class, Renfree has generated buzz and still could be a day three selection. Otherwise, he will almost certainly be a priority free agent and have his shot to make an NFL roster during training camp. Cutcliffe has called Renfree â€œthe most accurate passer in this yearâ€™s draft classâ€? and Mike Mayock, draft guru for the NFL Network, recently pegged Renfree as a quarterback who â€œmight surprise us all.â€? â€œHeâ€™s a very, very smart quarterback,â€? Vernon said. â€œI know Coach Cutcliffe and Coach [Kurt] Roper gave him a lot of freedom to do what he wanted within our offense because they knew h he could handle it. I donâ€™t know if b heâ€™s throwing a football yet but it wouldnâ€™t shock me on one thin bit if he was picked. I think he should be taken.â€? Wide receiver De Desmond Scott, cornerbac cornerback Tony Foster and lon long snapper Jackson Ande Anderson are the other thre three Blue Devils that will ttry to break into the NFL th this weekend. Although non none of the trio are expected to be drafted, all thre three had successful P Pro Days and have bee been in contact wi with NFL teams. Th They could be expected to sign as undrafted free agen agents before the weekend draws to a close.

GIERYN from page 11 a time, usually without even realizing it until it was over. How do we appreciate what we donâ€™t even remember? Thereâ€™s a way, I think, and it lies not in documenting every last accomplishment and disappointment of a career, but in celebrating the people who accompanied you along your road. One of the most poignant moments I ever experienced in four years of reporting for The Chronicle came not as Duke celebrated a victory, but as head menâ€™s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski reflected after his teamâ€™s defeat in the 2012 ACC Tournament semifinals at the hands of Florida State. It was a truly rare occasion when you could actually hear the weariness in his voice after a long and turbulent season, and after an initial outburst of frustration with a reporter who asked him to assess the Seminolesâ€™ chances against North Carolina in

the tournament final, he made a sincere request that seemed so incongruous for a figure who exists for most as a legend rather than a man susceptible to fatigue: â€œ[I want to] take my dog for a walk,â€? he said. â€œI havenâ€™t seen Blue for about five days, and I think that hurt me today.â€? All the achievements and memories of past greatnessâ€”and itâ€™s not exactly a secret that Krzyzewski has plenty of thoseâ€”werenâ€™t going to get him through an afternoon that had suddenly turned from a shot at the record books into a merely average Sunday. It was a golden retriever named Blue, and for all of us, there have been friends and enemies alike who moved us through all those minutes we no longer remember. We can no longer recall the individual brush strokes that they spurred us to paint in those lost hours, but the awarenessâ€”however hazy and indescribableâ€”of their helping hands is indelible. And as you were for me, so someone else

was for you, and in that endless chain of momentary exasperations and random kindnesses, we areâ€”all of usâ€”forever joined, as the Class of 2013, or better yet, as Duke University. So Iâ€™ll never be able to add up the seconds I spent doing what the history books would call â€œnothingâ€? or go back and watch every swish

CARROLL from page 11 â€œ[Regan] was such an inspiring guy,â€? Carroll said. â€œI saw [his death] as a sign, a great way I could honor his memory as well as blaze my own path.â€? Carroll quickly ascended the military ranks. Like Regan, he was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. The Baldwin, N.Y. nativeâ€™s success in the Army came as no surprise to his coach or former teammates. Shortly after his return to Durham, his wife, Erin, gave birth to their first son, Casey. The demands of being a new father and a full-time student at Fuqua didnâ€™t take away from Carrollâ€™s commitment to the Blue Devils or his professional lacrosse aspirations. â€œKnowing Caseyâ€™s love for the game itself and that he had one more year of eligibility despite being a full-time student and a husband and a father, we were excited to have him back,â€? Duke head coach John Danowski said. But Danowskiâ€™s plan to insert Carroll into the starting defensive lineup never came to fruition. After being drafted by the Hamilton Nationals with the No. 18 overall pick in the Major League Lacrosse draft before being traded to the Charlotte Hounds, Carroll tore his ACL during the preseason. He underwent surgery in late January and is in the process of rehabilitating his left knee. Carrollâ€™s injury hasnâ€™t kept him from

making a positive impact on the Blue Devils, however. â€œ[Casey] sits right by the box where we sub and encourages the guys,â€? Danowski said. â€œHeâ€™s really excited just to be around lacrosse again. Itâ€™s good to see him enjoying himself as much as he can without playingâ€” being a coach.â€? Carroll will intern with Wells Fargo in Charlotte, N.C. this summer and is considering a career in investment banking. Carroll, who is awaiting a decision from the NCAA regarding another year of eligibility, expressed his gratitude for Erin, a source of endless support through his ups and downs. â€œMy wife has been incredible in trying to help me through this tough time,â€? Carroll said. â€œHopefully we get to continue enjoying our young family life this next year before I potentially get into investment banking.â€? Next summer, Carroll will seriously consider joining the Hounds, whose offer will remain on the table after his recovery. Uncertainty surrounding the road that Carroll will travel lingers. But no matter where his journey leads, his upstanding character will follow. â€œHeâ€™s the type of kid you want your son to grow up into,â€? Matt Danowski said. â€œIf everyone turned out like him, weâ€™d all be better off for it for sure. Heâ€™s a great guy, heâ€™s a special guy, heâ€™s had an amazing life experience so far and hopefully lacrosse can stay in the picture for him as long as possible.â€?

lettertotheeditor Faculty concerned about Semester Online In his recent address to the Academic Council, President Richard Brodhead explained, “Since the faculty presides over the curriculum, the faculty must take responsibility for assessing our offerings in the light of high liberal arts ideals.” As Duke faculty who are deeply committed to maintaining, improving and delivering a high-quality undergraduate education, we take that responsibility extremely seriously. Indeed, the reason the faculty “own” the curriculum at liberal arts schools such as Duke is to protect it from the political and commercial pressures that might otherwise hold sway—to assure that the implementation of substantive curricular changes are carefully and deliberately considered. Digital technologies have enabled dramatic and exciting developments in research and pedagogy, inspiring the Duke administration to join the rush into online teaching. Last Fall, without consulting the Arts and Sciences Council, the administration signed a contract to join a consortium hosted by 2U—run by former Hooked On Phonics CEO Chip Paucek—to deliver “Semester Online.” 2U boosters claim that such commercial, online education projects enrich undergraduate curriculum

and learning outcomes, without reference to evidence from a rich body of independent research on effective pedagogies, including those that use online and other technologies. While paying Duke tuition, students will watch recorded lectures and participate in sections via webcam—enjoying neither the advantages of self-paced learning nor the responsiveness of a professor who teaches to the passions and curiosities of students. The courses that 2U plans to offer next Fall mostly overlap with, rather than extend, our offerings. In short, 2U is a very poor fit with the stated goals for such an endeavor. If we lock ourselves into a contract and a consortium that do not meet our objectives, we foreclose opportunities that do coincide with our ideals, which are, as Brodhead reminds us, “to engage multiple forms of intelligence to create deep and enduring habits of mind, an active, integrative, versatile spirit naturally disposed, when it comes upon a new fact or situation, to go to work trying to understand it, updating preexisting understandings in this new light.” This letter to the editor was signed by 75 Duke professors.
