13 DSG candidates disqualified

by Matthew ChaseTHE CHRONICLE

Since campaigning for the second round of Duke Student Government elections be-gan last week, campus has seen an increase in flyers and Facebook groups advertising students seeking Senate, vice presidential or class positions.

But some of those campaigners can no longer run for office.

In a meeting Friday, the DSG Judiciary ruled an extension of the campaign packet deadline unconstitutional. The campaign packets, which qualify students to run for positions, were initially due April 2 at 5 p.m., but DSG Attorney General Var Shankar, a senior, extended the deadline to April 7 at 5 p.m. Students who submitted campaign applications after the initial deadline are now disqualified.

“The attorney general is provided the right to set the original deadline; however, creating a new deadline after the initial deadline passes is not an explicit constitutional right of the attorney

Devil’s Bistro opens on Centralby Sanette Tanaka

THE CHRONICLE

The long-awaited Devil’s Bistro restau-rant and Mill Village on Central Campus is finally open after months of construction and delays.

Campus Council hosted an opening called “Grand Central” in conjunction with the group’s 15th birthday celebra-tion Friday.

The Devil’s Bistro is located at the for-mer site of Uncle Harry’s General Store, which closed last June. The adjacent Mill Village includes the new Uncle Harry’s, an exercise facility, an activity center and a conference room.

“I regret that [the opening has] taken so long, but I’m glad it came out as well as it did,” said Steve Nowicki, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education.

More than 1,000 students arrived for the opening, said Campus Council program-ming Chair Betsy Klein, a sophomore. Al-though Campus Council originally planned for 500 attendees, everyone eventually got inside the restaurant.

The event featured a henna artist, a photo booth, live music performances, giveaways and samples of the Bistro’s food.

Junior Kathryn Hutchins said the combi-nation of free alcohol, a bar and giveaways all located inside the restaurant resulted in the long lines.

“I just think it wasn’t very thought through,” Hutchins said.

The opening of Mill Village was delayed several times because of inclement weather

Freshman Gurdane Bhutani was never involved in student government during high school, but when he came to Duke, he saw problems he wanted to help address.

As the only candidate for Duke Student Govern-ment’s vice president for student affairs, Bhutani, cur-rently a senator for student affairs, said he hopes to lead his committee toward improving student life on cam-pus. He is running unopposed after junior Will passo, vice president for Durham and regional affairs, decided to drop out of the race.

“I think the most important thing that our commit-tee needs to do is to work with the administrators to clar-ify students’ rights,” Bhutani said. “Right now, admins can read any student’s Duke e-mail inbox, and check students’ rooms during breaks.”

He said he also hopes to increase funding for mu-sic and arts programs, such as increasing the length of Duke Arts Weekend to an entire week. promoting music

worldandnationWarsaW — Poland’s strong mix of pa-

triotism and grief was on display sunday for the second day in a row, with a nation united in sorrow and pride mourning the death of President lech Kaczynski and hailing him as a champion of their na-tional identity.

Warsaw, the capital, fell silent at noon, when sirens wailed and a moment of na-tional reflection was observed. later, tens of thousands of people, some weeping, lined the streets from the airport and

crowded the city center to view Kaczyn-ski’s body being returned to the presi-dential palace, where it will lie pending funeral arrangements.

an elegant esplanade in front of the palace was so jammed that many could not move; police and girl scouts had to lock arms to prevent the crowd from destroying islands of votive lamps that have been flickering green, red and yel-low since news of Kaczynski’s death in a plane crash broke saturday morning.

WashinGTon — President Barack obama may have a fight on his hands if he names an “ideologue” to replace retir-ing Justice John Paul stevens on the su-preme Court, republicans say.

“i don’t know whether they will show any self-restraint or whether they will just try to jam through an ideologue, which of course would provoke a lot of fireworks,” said sen. John Cornyn, r-Texas, a member of the senate Judiciary Committee.

stevens, a leader of the court’s liberal wing who turns 90 on april 20, announced april 9 he will step down when the high court concludes its term around the end of June. The senate last year confirmed obama’s first supreme Court nominee, so-nia sotomayor, with nine republican votes.

Archbishop Walter paul Khotso Makhulu brought in-sights on leadership and faith to a conversation in the Di-vinity School Friday afternoon.

The event, sponsored by the Center for Internation-al Studies’ Concilium on South Africa, was held in the School’s Alumni Commons room.

Makhulu, emeritus archbishop of the province of Central Africa for the Anglican Church, ran an under-ground railroad for refugees in South Africa during apartheid, and also served as a president of the World Council of Churches and All Africa Conference of Churches. He was interviewed by Karin Shapiro, visit-ing associate professor of history, and John Allen, who wrote the authorized biography of Archbishop Des-mond Tutu.

The conversation was part of an extensive oral inter-view by Shapiro and Allen. It consisted of questions about Makhulu’s life, mainly dealing with apartheid and his work to end it.

Makhulu recalled his childhood in South Africa, during which each member of his family was labeled and classified according to skin color. Makhulu said his family did not al-low him to be limited by the color of his skin.

For example, he recalled his father saying, “My son, we know what we are. No one defines us.”

He talked further about his experience living through apartheid. When asked why he worked to save people through the underground railroad, he said as a preacher he was impelled to do so.

“You can’t dwell in heaven and heavenly things when people around you are struck by earthly things,” Makhulu said.

The conversation also touched on his experiences as a leader for different groups—gangsters, refugees, church members and influential dignitaries. Shapiro emphasized his unique leadership.

“He acted in a quiet way—of course, he had to of ne-cessity—and he was helping the liberation movements and

Extremists call for N.C. governor to resignby Rohan Taneja

THE CHRONICLE

As part of its call for drastic reduction of the U.S. gov-ernment, Guardians of the Free Republics, a political ex-tremist group, called for North Carolina Gov. Beverley per-due’s resignation last week.

The governor expected such a letter after a warning from the Federal Bureau of Investigation last week, per-due spokesperson Chrissy pearson said. The Guardians told perdue to resign within three days.

“She has obviously not resigned, but we are treating this like any other threat and her security detail has been in-formed,” pearson said.

Similar letters had been sent to dozens of other gover-nors across the United States, and the FBI is investigating the incident, pearson said. According to the groups’s Web site, the organization is non-violent.

The Guardians believe that the United States was dissolved

in 1861 when House and Senate delegations left for the Con-federacy, Michael Munger, chair of the political science depart-ment, wrote in an e-mail. From the group’s perspective, this left no quorum in Congress and there has been no de jure national government since that date, Munger explained.

The Guardians consider the national and state govern-

ments de facto governments organized around the federal law of corporations, Munger said.

He said it seems that the Guardians believe the federal judiciary will actively support their views.

“The claim is utterly [without] merit under any reading of American history, not just a reading of constitutional law,” Munger said. “The letters to the governors, in short, are either a rather pathetic publicity stunt, or evidence that one can come to some truly strange conclusions if one thinks and writes too long in isolation.”

On their site, the Guardians call themselves “original gov-ernment” revolutionaries, guided by a broad “Restore Amer-ica plan.” FBI Special Agent J.J. Klaver told The philadelphia Inquirer that the group rejects all forms of government and the responsibilities associated with being a U.S. citizen.

The Guardians’ site openly rejects the role of today’s American government.

“If you are tired of being subjected to a corporation pos-ing as a legitimate government that would arrest you for re-fusing to pray to corporate courts or give up your land or pay taxes to the Rothschilds or exhibit a state-issued confes-sion of subject-class citizenship, then we invite you to read the one page [unanimous Declaration],” the site reads.

According to the Web site, restoring the “wealth of the people” requires stripping the national government of its taxing ability and disbanding federal organizations such as the FBI. They note that most of the work required to make this happen will occur in private.

“Restoration will occur behind the scenes in a man-ner designed to get results, not glory,” according to the group’s declaration.

“She has obviously not resigned, but we are treating this like any

other threat and her security detail has been informed.”

in memoriam Study links fructose intake to liver damge

by Maggie LoveTHE CHRONICLE

As the battle over the potential harmfulness of high fructose corn syrup wages on, a study led by a Duke researcher has lent its support to the growing accord that increased fruc-tose intake is detrimental to health.

Several recent studies in the na-tional media have linked high fruc-tose corn syrup to obesity. But a study released last month at Duke concludes that the common ingredi-ent could also cause liver damage for individuals with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

In the study, Dr. Manal Abdel-malek, associate professor of medi-cine in the Division of Gastroen-terology and Hepatology at Duke University Medical Center, and fellow researchers examined how consumption of fructose-containing drinks—such as Kool-Aid, fruit juic-es and non-diet soda—affected the livers of 427 patients with NAFLD.

Based on their responses to a questionnaire, patients 48 and older who consumed fructose daily had in-creased liver scarring.

“Americans in general, since the development of industrialized foods, have been consuming more carbohy-drates in the form of sugars,” Abdel-malek said. “The predominant sugar is fructose, which is predominantly in the form of high fructose corn syrup.”

The study’s results, however, have caused some outcry from corn syrup makers.

The Corn Refiners Association has asked Duke Medicine News and Communications to make a correc-tion to its March 18 press release about the research.

Audrae Erickson, president of the Corn Refiners Association, said the organization believes the study examined the effects of abnormally high levels of pure fructose, which is harmful in a way that she believes high fructose corn syrup is not.

Dr. Abdelmalek, however, said that of the fructose-containing bev-erages studied, 93 percent contained high fructose corn syrup. She added that her results are only applicable to people with NAFLD and not nec-essarily the general population.

Franca Alphin, director of nutri-tion services at Duke Student Health, wrote in an e-mail that although there is not currently evidence that high fructose corn syrup is harmful to healthy individuals, everyone should try to limit their consumption of it.

“Overconsumption of HFCS is everywhere, including in the foods that are served [at Duke],” Alphin said. “We don’t specifically address this on campus, as there are more pressing nutrition and health issues at this time—although I think we’ll be hearing more about it.”

general,” the Judiciary’s majority opinion reads. “Further, this action in effect changes the start of the campaigning process, a change that can only be made by the Election Commission, as stated in the constitution.”

Shankar said a majority of the Election Commission and a majority of the Cabinet supported the change in election policy. He added that Chief of Staff Mike Lefe-vre, a junior, approached Shankar April 5 requesting the extension because the initial deadline fell in the midst of the NCAA Final Four weekend and because the applications were only e-mailed to the student body Feb. 23. Lefevre is the DSG president-elect.

The ruling affected 13 students whose campaigns are now canceled. Of the four vice presidential positions, only the posi-tion of vice president for Durham and regional affairs is now contested. Before the ruling, three of the vice presidential positions were contested. In addition, 11 other Senate or class council races are un-contested.

Junior Ben Bergmann, an athletics and campus services senator who is running for re-election, was one of four campaigners who filed a complaint with the Judiciary. Bergmann said he thought the deadline extension was an attempt to let certain people who had not submitted campaign packets run.

“One of my concerns was that the exten-sion was in part an attempt to counteract the potential influence of certain people in DSG with preferred candidates,” Berg-mann said, adding that Lefevre and presi-dent Awa Nur, a senior, influenced Shan-kar’s extension. “They looked at who was running three days after the fact and they

weren’t happy with it.”Nur rejected that she or Lefevre had

any biased interest in changing the policy. She said many of the complainants noted that she had issued an executive order—which she did not—and several people made ethical arguments against the exten-sion at the hearing. When she was allowed to speak, however, Nur said the Judiciary did not allow her to respond to the ethical arguments.

“I am of the utmost belief that nothing unethical was done here,” Nur said.

Chief Justice Matt Straus, a sophomore, said the Judi-ciary “contin-ually remind-ed” all people present at the hearing that the constitu-tionality of the action was in question, not the ethics.

L e f e v r e said he and Nur did not spend much time looking at the actual candidates before suggesting that the deadline be extended.

“It was far from being something that was motivated,” Lefevre said, adding that he was mainly concerned about the lack of publicity. He said the Senate race was “overshadowed” by the presidential and executive vice president campaigns the week before.

What made the decision worse, Nur said, was that it occurred after campaign-ing had begun, adding that she asked Straus to convene the Judiciary before campaigning began.

“I have a huge problem with their lack

of respect for the candidates.... They had a great deal of leeway in terms of what kind of effect they had on the candidates” Nur said. “Their rulings are floppy at best, un-ethical at worst.”

Before the extension, Bergmann and junior Joseph Catapano, who was run-ning for academic affairs senator, were running unopposed. Junior Justin Rob-inette, who also filed a complaint, was running unopposed for a student affairs senator position. Although Robinette later withdrew his complaint, he did speak on behalf of the complainants at

the hearing, S t r a u s said. Fresh-man Kenny Gould, who is running for a contest-ed academic affairs sen-ate seat, also filed a com-plaint.

Eight of the 13 stu-dents whose

campaigns were canceled filed a suit against the Judiciary’s ruling in an April 10 e-mail to Straus.

“Though we were not accused, we were affected the most by the result of the rul-ing,” the e-mail reads. “We believe this rul-ing has been applied retroactively. Granted that the action was unconstitutional, the ruling should only apply to future elections and not the current election which had al-ready been underway.”

Straus notified the complainants Sun-day morning that their case was dropped because it was an appeal of the case that the Judiciary had ruled on Friday. Straus added that the Senate should review the

election policy because it “could use some specifications.”

“I am very sorry that this happened to the 13 of them, I can’t image what that feels like,” Straus said in an interview. “We understand what an investment those peo-ple had. I wish I could notify them that this was not done to them, it was a decision we had to make.”

Straus said he invited “a whole slew” of DSG executive members via e-mail, add-ing that candidates affected by the deci-sion could have attended the hearing, al-though he did not explicitly invite them. But junior Julia Duzon, whose campaign for senior class president was canceled, said she was frustrated she did not hear about the hearing.

“We were never even told that there was going to be a hearing,” Duzon said. “We never heard that there was a suit un-til the decision. We were the only ones that were affected by it, we should have been invited.”

Duzon said she was not able to hand in her campaign package before the original dead-line because of the minimal amount of ad-vertising for the positions. Although she said she had planned a year in advance to run for the position, she said she only remembered to apply when she received Lefevre’s April 5 e-mail to the student body announcing the extension.

Lefevre said the Senate will need to clarify its election procedures and in-crease advertising of positions in the up-coming year.

“It’s sort of a strange precedent that they have set—in order for it to be al-lowed it has to be in the constitution, and that’s kind of ridiculous,” said Lefe-vre, who added that many of the things DSG does are not explicitly included in the constitution. “There are all kinds of things we need to clarify.”

“It’s sort of a strange precedent that they have set—in order for

it to be allowed it has to be in the Constitution, and that’s kind of

ridiculous.” — Mike Lefevre,

and arts is important because it fosters a diverse range of students and interests on campus, Bhutani noted.

“Gurdane understands what students need to better their experiences at Duke, and he knows where to go and who to talk to to make his projects happen,” said freshman Molly Superfine, who worked with Bhutani as a senator for student affairs.

During his term as a senator for student affairs, Bhutani primarily participated in informing students about healthy dining options and worked on propos-als to create rain shelters at the West and East Campus bus stops and implement a Greek financial aid system. Aside from DSG, Bhutani is involved in several orga-nizations, including Dukes and Duchesses, Duke De-bate and Honor Council. He plans to double major in economics and public policy studies and minor in philosophy.

“The Greek financial aid program is something I want to keep pursuing because students should not be limited by money in what they participate,” Bhutani said.

He explained that the program would be funded by alumni who were involved in Greek organiza-tions. The endowment would cover Greek dues for students on financial aid. In the longer term, Bhu-tani hopes to expand it to selective living groups and other student clubs.

Bhutani said he also sees room for improvement within DSG. He aims to cooperate with the judiciary committee to make the Young Trustee election process clearer and fairer. He said DSG must be more trans-parent with their decisions and legislations. To address this issue, Bhutani and sophomore pete Schork, vice president for athletics and campus services, recently passed a bill that created a permanent legislative ar-chive online. Schork is the incoming executive vice president.

“Gurdane is a great listener in that he listens to in-formation thoughtfully, synthesizes it and delivers a confident, well informed response,” Superfine said. “He knows how to approach people with ideas and how to talk with administrators.”

racing toward a curepeople in South Africa who fought against apartheid,” Shapiro said. “What students will learn is that leadership works in different ways. Sometimes it’s through bold and dramatic acts and sometimes it’s quietly helping people and ensur-ing that people feel that they are valued, that there’s dignity in their lives—that they have money to edu-cate their children, bury their dead, fight legal battles and work together in a union movement.”

This event also had an impact on some students. Makhulu spoke to Shapiro’s history class as well as in Randolph residence hall on East Campus. For junior Rose Fill-er, a history major who is writing a research paper on Makhulu, the event reshaped her image of the archbishop.

“Meeting him changed the whole way I was looking at my re-search because suddenly he wasn’t just someone that I was describing or researching about—he was a real human being,” she said. “So it was probably one of the coolest ex-periences I’ve had academically.”

When asked what his leader-ship meant to him on a personal level, Makhulu gave an answer fo-cused on others.

“I’m a servant. That’s the first thing. I’m an enabler, helping other people because I believe es-sentially in people realizing their full potential,” Makhulu said. “I am not a solution. people must journey their own journey. But still they can be facilitated, yes.”

or ACC matches. His normally solid doubles pairing with David Holland had just lost for the first time in seven out-ings. And Arnould was locked in a grudge match on court four with Georgia Tech’s Miguel Muguruza, still grinding

through his first set in the time it took teammates Reid Carleton and Henrique Cunha to claim their sin-gles victories. He lost that first set in a tiebreaker, 7-4, one of only two Blue Devils to drop their opening set Saturday.

But as play wore on, Arnould fi-nally started to find his rhythm.

He held serve in the second set and won the tiebreaker, 7-5. After the Yellow Jackets knotted the team score at three by winning No. 3 singles, Arnould finally started to create some separation by breaking Muguruza to go up 3-1. From then on, he breezed through the third set while his Georgia

by Danny VinikTHE CHRONICLE

Although leading scorers Max Quinzani and Zach Howell scored just once each and NCAA assist leader Ned Crotty didn’t even collect a point, Duke (10-3) dismantled presbyterian 19-8 at Koskinen Stadium Fri-day. The No. 6 Blue Devils outscored the Blue Hose (1-8) 11-3 in the first half and outshot their opponent 50-19 throughout the entire game.

The easy Duke victory, its eighth in a row, allowed head coach John Danowski

to rest many of his starters and give playing time to oth-ers who haven’t seen much action so far this year.

Junior Tucker Virtue made his first ca-reer start and scored the first two goals of the game, and he added one more score with a minute remaining in the first quar-ter. Virtue also dished out an assist and col-lected seven ground balls.

“[It was] a great opportunity for some other guys to play who had been practicing as hard as everyone else since September,” Danowski said. “I think those guys made the most of that opportunity.”

One of those players was freshman Eddie Loftus. Loftus is one of three

Duke broke out the bats over the week-end, posting 22 runs over three games to earn a key series victory over No. 11 Clemson (23-10, 10-5 in the ACC). Will Currier contin-ued to lead the Blue Devils (19-13, 5-10) at

the plate, adding his second, third and fourth home runs of the week while driving in nine runs for Duke’s first se-ries victory since beating then-No. 11 North Carolina over a month ago.

“This isn’t a ballpark where you’re gonna hit

three singles all the time and score runs. You’ve got to be able to bat,” McNally said. “I feel pretty good about Will, and [Jer-emy] Gould and Jake [Lemmerman] and [Will piwnica]-Worms. They’re threats ev-ery time up and that’s been key for us.”

The series began in a high-scoring, back-and-forth affair, with the Blue Devils rallying for five runs in the eighth inning to topple the Tigers, 10-9. Duke starter Christopher Manno gave up a season-high seven runs in five innings, but the bullpen held Clemson to just two runs the rest of the way.

Currier’s two-run homer in the third highlighted a four-run inning which gave the Blue Devils an early lead. But Ryan McCurdy was the hero for Duke, bailing out Manno by pushing a two-out bases-loaded bloop single into left field. Marcus Stroman scored from second to provide the game-winning run.

Long 1st, Duke 2nd in Wolfpack Intercollegiateby Nicholas Schwartz

THE CHRONICLE

In what might be a preview of the ACC Championships in less than two weeks, Duke rode a final-day 281 to a second-place finish among an ACC-heavy field in Raleigh this past weekend. At the Lonnie poole Golf Course on the campus of N.C. State, senior Adam Long—behind a gritty final-round 68—captured first-place honors at the Wolfpack In-tercollegiate with a one-shot win.

Long shot a 77 and 69 in two rounds Friday, and followed that up with a 68 in the third and final round Saturday to finish at 1-over par.

After two unspectacular rounds on the first day of com-petition, No. 26 Duke shot the low round of the day Saturday on the 7,358-yard Arnold palm-er design, and it took a high-lev-el performance from each Blue Devil on what would prove to be moving day at the tournament. The worst score of the day for Duke was a 1-over par 72 from Wes Roach—a testament to the Blue Devils’ depth.

“When they had an opportunity to stuff an iron [into the green] close for a good birdie look, they did that,” head coach Jamie Green said. “It was a good combination of calculated and aggressive play.”

Freshman Julian Suri was able to overcome a shaky start to his

second round and lurked near the top of the leaderboard all weekend with scores of 73-71-71. After his 2-over 73 in the Friday morning session, it looked like Suri might slide down the stand-ings after he bogeyed five of his first nine holes in the afternoon. Suri stormed back, however, with four birdies in his next seven in a spotless final nine. An even-par final round gave Suri a score of 2-over and placed him in a tie for second individually, his third top-10 finish of the year.

“There was a very stoic, deter-mined look on his face,” Green said of Suri. “He was going to right the ship—it was just a matter of which holes and how soon.”

The round of the day, howev-er, belonged to Long, who shot his second consecutive sub-70 round to vault ahead of the rest of the field.

Long came out of the gates fir-ing Saturday, with four birdies in the first seven holes en route to a front-nine 32. The senior was able to atone for each of his two bogeys after the turn with bird-ies, and avoided the big num-bers that plagued the rest of the field—most notably Lanto Grif-fin of Virginia Commonwealth. Griffin teed off on the 47th hole of the 54-hole tournament at even-par and a shot clear of Long, but a final-nine 38 proved

to be Griffin’s demise.Long’s last few holes were not

devoid of adversity, though. After a birdie on 14 put him back to 3-un-der for the day, Long stepped up to the tee at No. 15—a 549-yard par-5 he birdied the previous round. With driver in hand on what is like-ly the toughest driving hole on the course, Long looked to avoid the two water hazards guarding either side of the landing area.

Long bashed a drive through the right side of the fairway and into a long lateral hazard, and after a conference with Green, safely pitched out of a treach-erous lie back into the fairway, leaving him just under 200 yards to the green. Although Long bogeyed the hole after missing the green with his approach, his poise under pressure to not let his score balloon to a double- or triple-bogey—and then to birdie the par-4 16th—allowed him to capture his first tourna-ment victory.

“He’s got a good round go-ing, and he knocks it into the hazard…. For some guys, that might have really bummed them out,” Green said. “Had he been thinking about the tournament lead, that might have been a stumbling block… but he kept his head about him, and stepped up on 16, 17 and 18 and hit great golf shots coming in.”

Senior Adam Long’s 69-68 finish gave him his first tournament crown this weekend.


At halftime of No. 4 Duke’s matchup with ACC rival Boston College Saturday at Koskinen Stadium, the Blue Devils couldn’t help but remember a similar situation Feb. 27 against Maryland, one of the elite teams in the country.

Saturday, Duke trailed the Eagles 8-4 at the break. That day against the Terrapins, the Blue Devils were down 9-1 at half, and they only fell further behind in what ended up being a 17-4 loss.

Against Boston College, though, Duke (11-3, 2-2 in the ACC) was able to turn its play around in a big way after intermission, scoring eight goals of its own and allowing just three in a 12-11 win that kept the Blue Devils in the

ACC race. “First of all, Boston College

played a great game,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “I felt like our team did not come ready to play. We

were able to flip a switch at halftime and we were able to play the way we are capable of playing in the second half—we hit a point where we really started to buckle down and control the game. I was really proud of our girls that we were able to do that.”

After the first 30 minutes, though, Duke had shown very few signs that it would be able to overcome the deficit. In the first period, the Eagles (8-4, 1-3) led in almost every statistical category: Boston College cleared the ball more effectively, took more shots, and scored on more of its free-position opportunities than the Blue Devils.

But the second half—especially the final 11 min-utes—was more indicative of what this Duke team can do when it gets rolling. Lindsay Gilbride scored twice in a row to cut the Eagles’ lead to one, Sarah Bullard evened the scored with just under eight minutes to go, and Kat Thomas scored for Duke just 34 seconds later to put the Blue Devils ahead.

Defense took over from that point on—neither team

finished another shot the rest of the way—and for Duke, it was good enough.

“This is a good lesson for our players, that we’ve got to play 60 minutes, not 30,” Kimel said. “Now we’re looking forward to getting ourselves ready to play [North Carolina] on Wednesday.”

brothers to have played for Duke—his eldest broth-er Dan was an All-American in goal for the Blue Dev-ils and Chris played four years in the midfield—and the youngest showed off what he has learned from them. Although he entered the game without a col-lege point, Loftus tallied six goals, including three in the second quarter alone.

“I haven’t really gotten that much time this season,” Loftus said. “I really appreciate the coaching staff for giving me a shot. It was a dream come true.”

Danowski praised the freshman attackman as well.“Eddie Loftus is a freshman and he works so hard,”

Danowski said. “We were delighted for Eddie.”Along with Loftus, senior Matt Anderson, junior An-

drew Rullan and sophomore Scot Meyer each scored their first goals in a Duke uniform.

“For a lot of guys, it was their first college goal and they scored the right way,” Danowski said. “I think they felt good about themselves and I know the team felt great about those guys making plays.”

Danowski also had the chance to diversify playing time at the goalie position. Starting freshman goalie Dan Wigrizer watched the game from the bench as four other Duke goalies took turns thwarting the presbyteri-an attack. Senior Devon Sherwood started for the Blue Devils and earned the victory, making two saves and al-lowing just one goal in his 15 minutes of action.

Another senior, Terrence Molinari, got the oppor-tunity to display his faceoff skills, replacing starter Sam payton, who sat out the game as well. Like Loftus and Sherwood, Molinari looked like anything but a bench player in winning 13 of 18 faceoffs and collecting eight ground balls.

“[It was] a great opportunity for [Molinari] to get a lot of reps facing off,” Danowski said. “He performed really admirably.”

The No. 6 Blue Devils travel to Charlottesville, Va. this Saturday to take on Virginia in their final game be-fore the ACC Tournament. After an extended rest for its starters, Duke looks to upset the top-ranked Cava-liers in the latest installment of their rivalry.

Duke beaten twice in ACC play

sylvie spewak/chronicle file photo

Freshman mary Clayton was among Duke’s best performers during a rough weekend that may have ended its conference championship hopes.

Duke’s loss to rival and ACC leader North Carolina is in the past, but the No. 7 Blue Devils may still be feeling its effects as Duke followed up that defeat with two more against conference opponents this weekend.

The Blue Devils (17-5, 5-3 in the ACC) hit the road Sat-urday to face No. 20 Georgia Tech, and Duke was upset 4-3 in Atlanta. The very next day, No. 9 Clemson took down the Blue Devils by the same score.

Against the Tigers (19-4, 7-2), who boast four play-ers among the top 102 in the nation, Duke was able to surprise its host by winning the doubles point. Doubles have not always been a strength for the Blue Devils this season, but they were able to take the point against the Tar Heels in midweek, and did so again Sunday behind wins at Nos. 2 and 3.

Singles play, though, did not work out quite as well

for Duke. Clemson’s Josipa Bek and Keri Wong won their matches at the top two singles slots, and straight-set wins at Nos. 4 and 5 for the Tigers capped off an unhappy Duke road trip.

The play of freshman Mary Clayton was one of the few bright spots for the Blue Devils. Clayton was part of a suc-cessful doubles team with fellow underclassman Monica Gorny, and she survived a tough first set to blank her op-ponent 6-0 in the second at No. 6 singles.

The day before the defeat to the Tigers, Duke suffered a heartbreaking loss to Georgia Tech in a third-set tiebreak. The Blue Devils won the doubles point yet again, but at No. 4 singles, Clayton went down 8-6 in the tiebreak to the Yellow Jackets’ Lynn Blau with the team score tied at three, giving Georgia Tech the match.

before games so we know what we’re going to see on week-ends,” Currier said. “Take a good approach, shorten up, and try to get the barrel to it and make good things happen.”

Saturday’s contest was another thriller but this time the Blue Devils came up just short, losing 11-5 in 11 innings. The Duke offense mustered a grand slam from Currier plus an RBI double from Stroman, but it was not enough to support a strong outing from Dennis O’Grady. The junior threw five-and-two-thirds innings and gave up only three runs.

The excitement began in the top of the ninth inning, when the Tigers knocked in two runs off Stroman to take a one-run lead. Stroman managed to make up for his pitch-ing woes in the bottom of the frame, however, by lining a 1-2 pitch down the left field line. Jonathan Foreman crossed the plate easily from second base but Worms was thrown out trying to score from first, sending the game to extra innings.

Duke threatened in the 10th, putting runners on first and second with no out. Again running aggressively, McNally tried to score Brian Litwin from second on a wild pitch. After a remarkable relay by Clemson hurler Tomas Cruz, catcher John Nester applied the tag on Litwin to end the rally.

In the 11th, relievers Ryan Knott, Eric pfisterer and Devin Burke could do nothing to staunch an explosive Ti-ger offense. By the time the final out had been recorded, Duke was down six runs.

Sunday’s matchup was markedly less dramatic. Making his first-ever weekend start, freshman Chase Bebout threw seven-and-a-third innings and only gave up two runs on six hits. Although the 6-foot-6, lanky righthander lacked con-sistent control over his fastball all afternoon, he was able to keep the typically high-scoring Clemson lineup in check.

“Bebout was the story today,” McNally said. “For it to be his first weekend start? A little bit jittery early on, strug-gling to throw strikes, he just settled in really nicely.”

The Blue Devils never trailed in a game in which they got to starter Will Lamb early and often, sending the Tiger to the showers after the third inning. Duke had ten hits, including home runs from Currier and O’Grady.

“You have to have some success to build some con-fidence in this league,” McNally said. “You’ve just got to grind them out and you’ve got to take advantage of being at home.”

Tech counterpart cramped up, winning 6-7, 7-6, 6-2 to give No. 20 Duke the victory.

“It felt great,” Arnould said. “We’ve been winning a lot and I’ve been losing, which is fine, but I’m just glad that when I actually needed to win for us to win, I won.”

“[Dylan’s] been struggling, but the guy stepped up huge today,” assistant coach Josh Goffi said. “That’s a big match, and this will be a turning point for the rest of the season. He’ll get some confidence from this, and having ‘D’ on track is going to be huge for us. We’ll have a solid one through six at that point.”

It took a complete effort for the Blue Devils (14-6, 7-1 in the ACC) to put away the No. 24 Yellow Jackets Saturday at Ambler Sta-dium. Georgia Tech (15-4, 6-2) came out fir-ing in doubles, staking out early leads at No. 2 and No. 3 and winning both, 8-5. Duke’s No. 1 team of Cunha and Carleton held on, 9-8, for their 15th consecutive win, but the Blue Devils dropped the doubles point for the first time in conference play.

“We came out a little flat,” Goffi said. “[Georgia Tech] knew that we were tal-ented and they needed to bring it. They stepped up and realized they had a chal-lenge. That was a very talented doubles squad that they had.”

After losing the first point, Duke quick-ly changed the tide of the match in sin-gles, winning the first set in four of the six matches.

Cunha and Carleton were dominant at Nos. 1 and 2, blazing through in straight sets to give the Blue Devils the lead. Cunha, the No. 11 singles player in the country, had no trouble against No. 4 Guillermo Gomez. With the win, he has now defeated each of the top four singles players in the country in his freshman season. Carleton also faced little resistance from his opponent, dropping

only two games. “Cunha’s been amazing all year. He re-

fuses to lose no matter what,” Arnould said. “Reid’s been awesome—some really good wins—and he destroyed the guy today. Those two guys today, we wouldn’t have had a shot in singles if they hadn’t stepped up and beaten those guys like they did.”

In addition to Cunha and Carleton, sophomore Luke Marchese kept his unde-feated conference record intact at court six to keep Duke ahead. Sophomore Torsten Wietoska had a chance to earn the team win but lost a third-set tiebreaker, paving the way for Arnould’s late heroics.

“We showed the fight of our team and we showed the heart of our team, which has been in question,” Goffi said. “Today, it just came out. Guys dug deep.... We deserved that win rather than a loss. I’m proud of our guys.”

The Blue Devils finished the weekend by breezing past Clemson (17-7, 3-6) at home, earning the first five points en route to a 5-2 victory. With the two wins, Duke jumped Georgia Tech for second place in the conference standings behind top-ranked Virginia.

and termite issues, Director of Dining Services Jim Wul-forst said.

Campus Council worked with the administration in planning Friday’s grand opening. The delays made plan-ning the event “stressful,” said sophomore Ben Golden-berg, outgoing Campus Council programming chair. He added that the final event was well received by students.

“This area has really revitalized Central Campus,” he said. “I had my doubts, but now I’m going to love living here next year. It will make Central a desirable place.”

The Bistro features an open-air kitchen, a small stage and an outdoor patio. As well as offering to-go items, the Bistro will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night meals. The menu includes selections of sandwiches, piz-za, burgers, noodles, beer and wine.

“We’re really excited about this model,” said Michael Aquaro, district manager of Bon Appétit Management Company. “It brings forth a nice mix be-tween a casual restaurant as well as a quick grab-and-go place.”

He added that Bon Ap-pétit’s management of the Bistro will differ slightly from its administration of other Bon Appétit locations such as the Great Hall and the Marketplace. The menu will be static, only changing seasonally. In addition, the Bistro will have an online menu, allowing students to or-der food via text message. Bon Appétit is also partnering with Saladelia and Sushi Nara to feature some of their selections.

Executive Chef Tyrone Hall said he would like to serve 300 people every night and was encouraged by the large crowd during Friday’s opening celebration.

“We have come a long way from the hollowed-out shell that used to be here to a place that’s really nice,” Hall said.

Hall and General Manager Andrew Craven will run the Bistro with 18 employees. Unlike other Bon Appé-

tit locations, the full-time employees are not part of the Durham-based Local 77 union, which includes hundreds of workers in housekeeping, facilities management and dining services on campus. The union filed a grievance several weeks ago against the University’s decision to em-ploy independent workers.

The Bistro employees will work through June 15 until the restaurant closes for the summer. Bon Appétit will find them alternate employment until Fall, Aquaro said.

“We have a great group of employees who stuck with us throughout construction delays,” he said. “If we can avoid having them go two months without work, we’d like that.”

Aquaro said he received an “overwhelmingly positive” response from students regarding the new restaurant.

Senior Janelle Barth, a Central resident, said the new eatery is convenient, although she wishes it had been

open earlier. Sophomore John Me-

kjian, who will live on Cen-tral next year, said the Bis-tro makes living on Central much more appealing.

“I’ll be here all the time,” he said. “The restaurant is beautiful, and it makes Cen-tral Campus much more sightly. There’s a lot more open space and it’s more inviting.”

Aquaro, Nowicki and Wulforst said they hope Mill Village becomes a hangout for students.

“We really want this place to be a gathering area where students can come and relax, an oasis on Central Cam-pus,” Aquaro said.

Hutchins said she believes the eatery will serve Central residents primarily, adding that she expects to stop by about 4 to 5 times per semester because she lives off campus.

Aquaro said he believes all students will come and experience the new Village regardless of their housing locations.

“We want the place to be packed every single day,” he said. “I’m confident that students and guests who come and experience it will certainly want to return.”

winners. “Enemies of the People,” claimed the Anne Del-linger Grand Jury Award, the festival’s top prize. The docu-mentary follows a Cambodian journalist as he investigates the reasoning behind millions of murders under the Khmer Rouge regime. “The Poot,” an insight into the process of Ira-nian carpet weaving, was awarded Best Short documentary.

The festival also gave Special Jury Prizes to al Qaeda docu-mentary “The Oath” and Sundance-winner “Restrepo,” which chronicles the lives of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. Festival-go-ers voted “Waste Land,” a portrait of a Brazilian artist who turns trash into new artworks, the festival’s best. Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies deemed “My Perestroika” the best film that “is a potential catalyst for education and change.” The film follows five Russians as they revisit the fall of the Soviet Union.

The festival kicked off Thursday evening with a screen-ing of D.A. Pennebaker’s latest offering “Kings of Pastry.” Haj welcomed the crowd to the festival at the beginning of the sold-out premium event.

“Full Frame is strong,” Haj said. “We are poised to move forward, continuing to explore the medium of the docu-mentary as it changes and grows.”

Haj, a Hollywood ex-pat who was appointed to helm Full Frame this past January, said he enthusiastically reached out to the local community for support.

“If you own a business, we want to partner with you,” Haj said. “If you’re an individual… [we want you to] be a member of the Full Frame family,”

Haj also stressed her desire to become better integrated with Durham, announcing this summer’s upcoming series, “Movies on the Lawn,” which will feature four outdoor screenings of environmentally-focused films at the Ameri-can Tobacco Campus.

Director of Programming Sadie Tillery followed up Haj’s sentiments, urging the audience to take in the festi-val at its fullest.

“Screen films until your eyes can take no more,” Tillery said. “[I hope] that the stories in the films we offer will affect you as intellectually, emotionally and aesthetically as they have us.”

The audience took Tillery’s words to heart. According to a statement released by Haj yesterday, attendance and ticket sales “climbed dramatically” this year, and the free outdoor screenings, which included “Pelada” by Duke alumnus Gwen-dolyn Oxenham, Trinity ’04, were attended by hundreds.

Rodrigo Dorfman, Trinity ’89, who presented his new film “Generation Exile” Thursday, said he found the atmo-sphere and energy of the festival to be ideal.

“I could never have imagined a better place to premiere my film than Full Frame,” Dorfman wrote in an e-mail. “What makes this festival unique is that it is not geared to-wards the ‘business’ of documentary filmmaking, but the art and appreciation of the form. It offers audiences and film-makers alike a place to share their love of storytelling.”

Center for Documentary Studies visiting lecturer Gary Hawkins, who directed the Jason Moran and Thelonius Monk musical exploration “In My Mind”, also benefitted from the hub of documentary talent. He said this year’s festival experi-ence was the best he’s had, citing the opportunities the festi-val offered to trade and connect with other filmmakers.

Geoff Edgers, a former (Raleigh) News & Observer re-porter turned filmmaker, came to the festival to premiere “Do It Again,” which chronicles Edgers’ efforts to reunite The Kinks. The screening, Friday evening’s premium event, marked a personal and professional achievement for Edgers.

“Full Frame is a huge dream of mine—I love this state and this place,” he said. “I never really thought I’d be in it and standing here.”

DUKE STUDENT SUMMER STORAGE

The Duke Student Govern-ment Judiciary’s recent deci-sion to overturn an extension to the election packet deadline constitutes a disturbing over-reach of judicial power and sets a dangerous precedent for fu-ture decisions.

Under the original time-line for this Thursday’s elec-tion, candidates were required to submit a completed election packet by Friday, April 2. Last Monday, however, DSG At-torney General Var Shankar, a senior, extended the deadline until Wednesday, April 7 in order to allow additional can-didates the opportunity to run for office.

Shankar’s decision was grounded in valid reasoning. Leading up to the initial April 2 deadline, many students were out of town to attend

the Final Four in Indianapo-lis. Extending the deadline was a reasonable decision to accommodate an extenuating circumstance and level the playing field for students who chose to cheer on the basket-

ball team.P u s h i n g

back the dead-line also was intended to cre-ate a fairer, more inclusive election process. Prior to the original deadline April 2, DSG sent out only one blast e-mail to the student body to solicit candidates. Extending the deadline, therefore, al-lowed for more publicity and ensured that all students—not just DSG insiders—were aware of the upcoming elections.

While these two reasons alone are strong enough to justify Shankar’s decision to change the election packet

deadline, he also ensured that the extension adhered to the DSG bylaws. Section 1(b) of the election bylaw authorizes the attorney general to deter-mine the deadline for students to declare their candidacy.

And because an extension of the election packet dead-line pushed back the official start of campaigning, as re-quired by Section 3(a) of the bylaw, Shankar obtained clear assent from the DSG Election Commission in order to move the start date.

In a stunningly ignorant unanimous decision, however, the DSG Judiciary dismissed Shankar’s rationale and de-clared his extension of the election packet deadline un-constitutional.

The Judiciary’s opinion rests on two baseless lines of ar-gument. First, it declared that

an extension of the deadline is not allowed because the elec-tion bylaw does not explicitly permit the attorney general to change the date once it has been set. Second, the Judi-ciary claims that the Election Commission was not consulted about a change to the cam-paigning start date.

Neither argument carries any weight. Limiting the attor-ney general’s power to set the election packet deadline—simply because the bylaw does not explicitly guarantee the authority to reset it—employs an impossibly strict reading of the election bylaw. If every DSG official was held to such a strict standard and his or her power limited only to what is explicitly listed in the constitu-tion, the entire organization would be ineffectual.

Moreover, the Judiciary’s

conclusion that the Election Commission did not approve the deadline switch is simply not true.

The end result of the Judi-ciary’s decision is perhaps the most troubling part of the en-tire situation. The candidacies of 13 students have been dis-qualified, meaning that all but one of the VP candidates and many of the Senate candidates are running unopposed. This will only undermine DSG’s le-gitimacy and hamper its goal of increasing student involve-ment in the organization.

Unfortunately, the Judicia-ry’s poor decision stands and cannot be appealed. Mov-ing forward, the DSG Senate should amend the election bylaw so that it will not be sub-ject to judicial activism and petty student politicking in the future.

If there existed a pill that could allow you to stay awake for three days with little side effect and risk of addiction, would you take it?

The U.S. government invested millions of dollars to attain this real-ity through modafinil, a drug origi-nally intended to treat narcolepsy, but given to soldiers in Baghdad to stay alert for long patrolling shifts.

But staying awake is hardly only a matter of interest for national security. After oil, coffee is the second-largest traded commodity in the world, and the U.S. energy drink market is forecasted has been forecasted to reach $10 billion by 2010.

Duke students also have an opinion about stay-ing awake. During Project Build, before I even started classes, an upperclassman told me the man-tra that would come to define the attitude towards sleep that I and many of my peers have gradually adopted: You can sleep when you’re dead.

After all, if anti-sleep drugs are available for prescription—the FDA approved a variant of modafinil for prescription use in 1998—then what real need do we have for sleep?

Modafinil sounds like a good idea if you be-lieve sleep can’t do a thing for you. On a college campus, this notion can appear pretty convincing. After all, sleeping means you have to unplug your-self from the fluidity of new experiences, and miss opportunities to see friends, attend shows, make money and study for classes. We take on myriad commitments and all of them take precedence to sleep. Somewhere along the way, we realize that we can stuff more events into the day if we sleep less at night, and thus we begin to assume that if we sleep less, we’ll accomplish more.

On many college campuses, sleeping becomes associated with negative connotations of laziness, selfishness and dispassion. The act devolves from a simple physiological necessity into a daily battle of self-control. Students talk about the number of hours they’ve stayed awake more often than John Kerry brags about his three purple hearts, and they resort to various outlets to stay alert—caffeine, binging and purging strategies, power naps and even more ambitious polyphasic sleep plans, all designed to trick our biological clocks into thinking we aren’t tired.

A large part of this trend, I suspect, comes from the perception that other people aren’t sleeping.

The average person needs about eight hours of sleep a night, but the popular media is inun-dated with profiles of famous self-professed low-sleepers. Madonna, Jay Leno and Martha Stewart claim to sleep only four hours a night. Bill Clin-

ton sleeps for five to six hours a day (Although he is also known to have said, “Every important mistake I’ve made in my life, I’ve made because

I was too tired.”) Former Duke law professor Erwin Chemerinsky, now dean of University of Carli-fornia, Irvine School of Law, gets by on four to six hours sleep a day and reportedly published a new book on federalism during the extra time.

Are these people just lucky to need less sleep? In 2009, a group of scientists at University of Cali-fornia, San Francisco discovered

a gene mutation associated with needing only around six hours of shut-eye a night. But Ying-Hui Fu, co-author of the Science article, admits that fewer than 5 percent of people tend to fall into this category. As for the Madonnas and Jay Lenos, Harvard sleep researchers and Thomas Roth of the Henry Ford Sleep Disorders Center agree that the percentage of the population who needs less than five hours of sleep per night, rounded to a whole number, is zero.

In fact, Harvard neuroscientist Robert Stick-gold argues that a person who cuts back from his needed eight hours of sleep to four hours a night loses at least 20 percent of his efficiency. If in the 20 hours of wakefulness he can only accomplish 16 hours of work, he might as well have slept those extra four hours anyway.

Insufficient sleep habits can also lead to cogni-tive damage that later restful sleep can’t fix. For instance, scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm found that a week of eight-hour-a-night “recovery” rest was unable to completely reverse low performance on psychomotor and reaction tasks from when subjects were only permitted to sleep four hours a night for a week.

It appears then, that famous low-sleepers are more likely just exhausted and anxious than su-perhuman and accomplished. Ultimately effi-ciency, not less sleep, enables us to do more, and as research has shown, we need sleep to be more efficient.

Nothing, not coffee, energy shots, or even modafinil can compensate for the benefits of sleep.

The sooner we wake up and recognize we are cheating ourselves by sleeping less, the faster we can reclaim our right to a good night’s rest and recharge with no regrets.

After all, I can sleep when I’m dead, but frank-ly, I’d like to feel alive before I die too.

commentariesthe chRONIcLe MONDAY, APRIL 12, 2010 | 19

First of all, you’re welcome for last Monday night. You guys went to a few too many classes on Mon-day, so I let it get kinda close. Fortunately, a few

bros threw down some brewskis on Randolph’s bench and tipped the scales in your favor.

Second, where I’m from, there’s a sport-ing goods store called “Play It Again Sports.” A friend of mine once told me that the store’s employees go out “find-ing” sports equipment around the city and put it on sale as “previously owned.” So he said, the store got its name because you would quite literally buy back your own sports equipment in order to play with it again.

Even though my friend was almost certainly lying, his idea is pretty brilliant. It really is a remarkable busi-ness model: little overhead, no costs of production and almost no labor. Why can’t the economics department teach you more useful things like this?

Instead, I, using my hard-earned… I mean, hardly-earned state-school education, will help you elitist folk out a little bit. This could be my best revenue-producing idea ever. If only Duke listens to this one, it’ll profit an untold amount. And we know y’all need it, with all the budget cuts around campus recently—LDOC T-shirts cost money? How much money? $3 to $5? That could get me like seven Swedish Fish from the Lobby Shop.

Provided you haven’t been living in a balloon for the past few years, you know that Duke has some financial troubles on its hands. Don’t worry, this isn’t another one of those anti-union columns (although they’d stop complaining if they knew how I paid my workers).

I don’t even have a problem with unions. Espe-cially because every union I’ve recently encountered has lost its bite. It used to take something to break up a union. Now, all you have to do is have a few mys-terious disappearances and unfortunate accidents—and ta-da! Nobody mentions they can’t afford to buy bread or get health care. Not to mention the surge in productivity that helps you business managers pay off your yacht.

So since Local 77 is definitely staying in town, we gotta get a little creative in order to make up for the slack in productivity. We should just take a hint from my buddy and his ideas on sports stores. Residence Life and Housing Services needs to establish a Duke Thrift Store in the Bryan Center where they sell back all of the items that they’ve taken out of bathrooms and hallways.

Half-full bottles of shampoo and toothpaste for full price! The kids’ll pay. They already pay hiked fees for everything else on campus. All they have to do is swipe their money cards, which, in any case, hardly count as real money anyway. And plus, the Duke Thrift Store’s goods are gonna have sentimental value, adding at least another dollar onto each price. Who doesn’t get emo-tionally, if not physically, attached to their beloved bottle of Herbal Essences? Have you seen their commercials? Those ladies don’t need a date for years after they’re done shampooing.

RLHS can also get Duke Dining in on this thrift store extravaganza, and they can sell all the food points they somehow “acquire” at the end of the school year. Not to mention the Marketplace swipes that “disappear” at the end of each week. Just think of the demand for food points that cost 90 cents on the dollar! For those of you who dropped Econ 51, it’d be pretty damn high. For you wannabe math-types who withdrew from Math 32, it’s called infinity.

After the thrift store gets started and Duke gets used to exploiting its students even more, we could potential-ly get Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst to take some classes at the Kenan Institute for Ethics, where he could learn that, provided you aren’t in business with yours truly, “acquiring” money from students is not the way to get back into the black. Everyone knows that’s what the day after Thanksgiving is for.

The Joker will dance to this beat and hold a lover close.

A rockstar professorIt has now been one week since Duke basketball of-

ficially returned to glory and Duke students had the great fortune to revel in all its splendor. Even though

there is still a golden blanket over all of campus (or maybe that’s just pollen), the unfortunate reality is that the celebration is, at this point, just a fond memory. So now what?

Well, for many of us Dukies, it’s back to class and the backbreaking work that accompanies the annual April calendar. There is more than just a mountain of work and bleary-eyed peers in our classes. There are our teachers. And while we at-tend an institution that attracts top-flight talent, how many of us actually know the people behind the fancy titles?

Last spring, I had the opportunity to get to know one of my professors outside our once-a-week class slot. By now, you probably recognize the name—it has been deservedly all over The Chronicle and its Web site. The teacher I am talking about, the one that became my mentor, is Susan Tifft.

I almost did not get the opportunity to take her class, “News as a Moral Battleground”—sophomores with the last registration window do not normally find spots in classes taught by “rockstar” professors. But, as someone who plans on pursuing a career in journal-ism (stop laughing, I’m not kidding), the chance to take a class with Professor Tifft in the last semester of her 10-year appointment was too good to pass up with-out some sort of fight. So on Nov. 4, 2008, I fired off the first of many e-mails I would send to her in which I asked for something. The first one happened to be for a spot in her class.

Her response, which came literally seven minutes later:“Laura, waitlists are always fluid, I’ve found. Students

drop and add a lot between now and the beginning of the spring semester. So my advice would be to get on the waitlist and see. Live dangerously!

Prof. Tifft”I landed at number three on the waitlist, and after

a few more e-mails in which I attempted to plead my case in the least obnoxious manner, I went to the first meeting of the class in January as the second person on the waitlist. In a stroke of good fortune, one person had not shown up (thank you, whoever you are) and she told me that if that person dropped, she would think about adding an extra spot for me overnight. I e-mailed her the next morning saying, among more serious things, that I hoped she had slept on the right side of the bed that night, and at noon, my wish was granted with an e-mail response including a permis-

sion number and a “welcome aboard!”Throughout the semester, I worked hard to justify

that gift. I wanted everything and anything I did for that class to serve as a thank-you note for her generosity. I painstakingly crafted each sentence I wrote and never sub-mitted any written material, including e-mails, that I had not read over at least three times. Professor Tifft had that in-tangible gift that only the best professors have: she inspired her students to push themselves and never give less than their best efforts.

By this point, Professor Tifft had been battling cancer for a year and a half. It was

not outwardly apparent—she always brought the same high-powered debate setup to class—and it only came up once over the course of the semester. She explained that she was having major surgery right after the school year ended and needed to be at home in Cambridge, Mass. to prepare, and asked if anyone cared if our final papers were due a week early. No one objected.

Within the e-mail that contained my final grade was an invitation to keep in touch. And keep in touch we did. Without prompting, she read the stories I wrote at the beginning of my internship with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. She told me to enjoy my study abroad ex-perience at Oxford—she herself has spent time there and dated a Rhodes Scholar while she lived in Magdelen College (I was not as lucky in the dating-game depart-ment). We kept up as I migrated to Spain and through-out Europe. She read my columns as I read her blog posts that updated her myriad of friends on her fight with cancer.

When I came back to Duke, we traded birthday e-cards in February to celebrate our one-week apart birth-days. She also found the time to do me one last favor by writing me a recommendation letter for a journalism fel-lowship. The last time I heard from her was March 15, in a response to my e-mail telling her I had been selected, thanks in large part, I’m sure, to her letter.

Even though Professor Tifft passed away April 5 at the way-too-young age of 59, the lessons she taught me along with hundreds of other Duke students will last far longer than any basketball celebration ever could. Susan Tifft is just one example of the great faculty here at Duke, and I encourage every one of you to reach out to a teacher who interests you. Everyone deserves to find their own mentor that will bring out the best in them. Everyone deserves to find their own Professor Tifft.

lettertotheeditorRecognizing the head of the Cameron Crazies

I was in Indianapolis for the game where fans and players alike proved why we are No. 1—not because we make every shot but because we never give up. But in all the hoopla of the championship, of which I hope everyone reading this was a part, there is someone we often forget.

I arrived at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis at around 1:30 a.m. early, early Monday morning. De-spite the monsooning and heavy wind I could make out near the entrance to the student section tarps strapped down slowly circling around the base of the huge stadium. Head Line Monitor Zach White, a se-nior, seemingly out of nowhere appeared from one of the tarps, ready to do sign us up in line. As he wrote that “36” on my hand, it suddenly hit me—the sheer CRAZIEness of the situation.

We were in Indianapolis, 600 miles from home, in the middle of the night in the middle of a storm. But

here was Zach, as peppy as ever, doing his job. Not even the job that he took on when he became head line monitor, but a duty he seemed determine to do until the very last game.

The next day, when Butler fans didn’t dare leave their spots, we could relax because we were organized, because we weren’t just fans but were organized Cra-zies, as usual. But that would not have happened if it had not been for Zach.

I think Zach is too often forgotten in The Chronicle and on campus. So I wanted to tell the “untold” story of Indianapolis. If anyone is the face of the sixth man, it’s Zach White. Maybe even next year on senior night they should get to stand up there next to the senior managers. If next year’s head line monitor is anything like Zach, they deserve to.
