Danesh wins close Young Trustee election

by Patton CallawayTHE CHRONICLE

After a total of 3,048 students cast their votes in the third student-wide election for undergradu-ate Young Trustee Friday, senior Kaveh Danesh se-cured the position over seniors Olly Wilson and Michael Mandl.

An instant runoff vote between Danesh and Wilson determined the winner. Danesh received a total of 1,623 votes, and Wilson received 1,376 votes after the in-stant runoff. The results were announced around 11:30 p.m. Friday, an hour and a half after polls closed at 10:00 p.m.

Danesh currently serves as the vice presi-

dent for academic affairs for Duke Student Government. For two years, he has been part of the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees. He is also a line moni-tor and has served on the First-Year Advisory Counselor Board. Danesh said he is eager to share his ideas about an international and in-terdisciplinary Duke with the Board.

“When I was waiting to hear the result, I had no concept of how likely I was to win,” Danesh said. “I just knew that we were all very deserving, and that’s why I was taken aback when I heard that I had won. It was in many ways humbling to know that I had the confi-dence of so many.”

DSG President Pete Schork, a senior, said he has witnessed Danesh’s intellect, drive and

Duke Cancer Center to open next week

by Danielle MuoioTHE CHRONICLE

Duke will debut an integrated model for cancer treatment when the Duke Cancer Center opens its doors this month.

In 2005, Duke Medicine launched a strategic plan that identi-fied the need for a new cancer facil-ity to manage a growing number of oncology patients. The remedy will finally come to fruition in the new Duke Cancer Center, a facility that weaves together innovative research and cancer treatment in a holistic and centralized patient experience. The center will have an open house Feb. 22, and it will open to patients Feb. 27.

Designed to optimize patient care by placing all outpatient on-cology services under one roof, the $230-million center will promote multidisciplinary communication through the Duke Cancer Institute’s mission of integrated cancer treat-ment and clinical research. Duke Cancer Institute’s support services will also move into the new building to offer emotional support to pa-tients going through treatment.

“Our concept is to create an in-stitute to bring everyone around the patients for the best care,” said Dr. Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of

the Duke University Health System. “Patients can feel at home and feel welcome without having to go from one place to another.”

The center is also designed to provide a warmer and more wel-coming environment for patients and their families, Dzau said. Cer-tain amenities, such as a quiet room and garden, will provide outlets for stress and fatigue.

“When you think about treating patients you are treating the whole patient—mind and body,” he said. “It’s about personal care not just clinical care.”

The garden is connected to the infusion room, to provide natural light to patients receiving che-motherapy treatment. The relax-ation room offers a quiet respite from the building, in a circular room with ambient lighting and sound controls. The ground floor also includes a cafe and boutique for specialized items like turbans, wigs, scarves and prosthetics for cancer patients. Additionally, patients will receive restaurant-like pagers to let them know when their doctors are ready to meet them, allowing the patients freedom to move through the building in the mean time, said

Miles Plumlee had 13 points and 22 rebounds to help Duke past Maryland, 73-55.

by Jacob LevittTHE CHRONICLE

Two years ago, then-senior Bri-an Zoubek emerged as one of the nation’s best offensive rebound-ers, carrying his team to a victory over Maryland with a 16-point, 17-rebound game. On Saturday, senior Miles Plumlee spurred this year’s Blue Devils to victory against the Terrapins with a breakout per-formance of his own.

“[Zoubek] was really a role model for me when he was playing here,” Plumlee said. “It’s no coin-cidence. I knew this was the game two years ago that he turned it on. I just took a good look at myself and said I need to come out and do the same thing he did.”

Behind Plumlee’s 13-point, 22-rebound performance, which his younger brother Mason called “a man’s 20 and 10,” No. 10 Duke (21-4, 8-2 in the ACC) took con-trol in the second half to earn a 73-55 win against Maryland (14-10, 4-6). Mason finished with a double-double of his own, but Miles’ display was the story of the game. His 22 rebounds were the most of any player in head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s 37-year career.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After a warm and dry winter, another deadly wildfire season is approaching in forests across the coun-try. And, as in years past, the U.S. Forest Ser-vice is preparing to fight blazes from the sky with old workhorses, museum-quality and overly antiquated air tankers.

WASHINGTON, D.C — After initially telegraphing optimism about Presi-dent Barack Obama’s decision Friday to amend the religious exemption for mandatory birth-control and steriliza-tion coverage, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has declared total op-position to any compromise on the issue.

The organization wrote that it will continue pushing for a complete end to the birth-control mandate “with no less vigor, no less sense of urgency” than before the Obama administra-tion decided to let nonprofit church-affiliated employers such as hospitals and universities, and not just churches, technically opt out of the requirement.

“The only complete solution to this religious liberty problem is for [the De-partment of Health and Human Ser-vices] to rescind the mandate of these objectionable services,” the conference said in a statement released late Friday.

Potti falsified research data, mentor says

The mentor of former Duke researcher Dr. Anil Potti has said that the discredited oncolo-gist deliberately falsified data while at Duke.

Joseph Nevins, Barbara Levine professor of cancer genomics, told “60 Minutes” Sunday that it was “abundantly clear” that Potti had manipulat-ed research data in order to support this theory that genomics could aid the treatment of tumors. This is the first time that Nev-ins, who collaborated and

co-authored a number of research papers with Potti, has acknowledged that the errors found in Potti’s research data were inten-tional. The University’s investigation into the misconduct of Potti is ongoing.

“It simply couldn’t be random—it had to have been based on a desire to make some-thing work,” he said. “I regret that if some of the issues were raised along the way, this could have been brought to a halt at an earlier time.”

When he went before the Institute of Medi-cine committee in March, Nevins said he could not address whether the errors were intentional.

“I just can’t get into a position of speculat-ing on how it happened,” he told committee member Thomas Felming, a professor of bio-statistics at the University of Washington.

According to the “60 Minutes” segment, the University agreed to comment on the Potti scan-dal as a cautionary tale for other research institu-tions. Robert Califf, vice chancellor for clinical research and director of the Duke Translational Medicine Institute, and Nevins were the two University officials featured in the segment.

Potti declined to comment on the research scandal for the segment.

Two major corrections to his work in the Journal of Clinical Oncology were also issued last week, just days after he retracted his ninth paper.

In the paper “Gene Expression Profiles of Tumor Biology Provide a Novel Approach to Prognosis and May Guide the Selection of Therapeutic Targets in Multiple Myeloma,” almost all references to chemotherapy sensi-tivity were removed, according to Retraction Watch. Corrections also include omissions in the methods, results and discussion section.

According to Thomson Scientific’s Web of Knowledge, the paper was cited 15 times.

Another of Potti’s papers, “Age-Specific Differences in Oncogenic Pathway Dysregula-tion and Anthracycline Sensitivity in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia,” also under-went massive corrections.

Corrections included changes in several sec-tions of the article, including a change in the title of the paper—the paper is now titled “Age-Specific Differences in Oncogenic Pathway Dysregulation in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia.” In the content of the paper, all ref-erences to chemotherapy or anthracycline sen-sitivity were also removed. The paper was cited 9 times, according to Retraction Watch.

There are currently two lawsuits pending against Potti, Duke and others affiliated with clinical trials based on his genomic research. He resigned from the Institute for Genome Sci-ences and Policy and the School of Medicine Nov. 19, 2010 following allegations that he had falsified qualifications on applications for federal funding and his resume.

and other contributors. He will also be responsible for the newspaper’s con-tent and serve as the public face of The Chronicle.

In his platform, Kandimalla pledged that as editor, he will improve the on-line presence of The Chronicle.

“We have a great new website that is more in line with where news organiza-tions are headed,” he said. “It would be a waste for Volume 108 to not capi-talize on it, take it further and make us a fully functioning news organization. We have a really strong print edition every day, and I want us to have a really stellar website on a daily basis.”

Kandimalla, an economics major from Alpharetta, Ga., currently serves as Local and National Editor in the News department of The Chronicle. Tanaka said she believes Kandimalla will excel as her successor.

“Throughout his two years at The Chronicle, Yeshwanth has grown so much as a journalist and as a leader,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to working with him this semester and helping him develop the skills that he’s going to need to manage the pa-per next year.”

As a freshman, Kandimalla joined The Chronicle as a Local and National staff writer and was promoted to co-editor of that department last May.

The editor-in-chief oversees not only the journalistic endeavors of The Chronicle but also the business side of the publishing company. Since March 2011, Kandimalla has worked as an ex-ternal affairs associate in the office of The Chronicle’s Director of External Relations David Rice, fundraising and

interacting with Chronicle alumni.“It’s given him an understanding of

how The Chronicle has expanded its fundraising program and its workings with alumni,” Rice said. “He’s been very conscientious and a hard worker ,and I think he’ll do a great job.”

Kandimalla’s experience with the business structure of The Chronicle, his journalistic ability and his attitudes toward growing The Chronicle’s on-line presence make him a triple threat as Chronicle editor-in-chief, said David Graham, vice-chair of the Duke Stu-dent Publishing Company’s board of directors.

“The Chronicle Editor is arguably the most influential student on cam-pus,” said Graham, associate editor at The Atlantic and The Chronicle’s editor during its 103rd volume. “The editor of The Chronicle shapes cam-pus opinion and shapes what students know.”

Senior Caroline Fairchild, who is co-editor of the Local and National department with Kandimalla, said she is his biggest fan after seeing how he manages their department.

“I’ve been amazed at how he has grown as a reporter-writer and really is a journalistic visionary,” Fairchild said. “Yeshwanth has all the leadership skills necessary for a successful editor-in-chief. I’ve watched him manage our department, increase the size of our staff and inspire our entire team every day to produce great work. Now he can amplify what he’s done with Local and National to the paper itself.”

Duke stumbles on the road against Vanderbiltby Giancarlo Riotto

THE CHRONICLE

Despite holding an edge in shots and draw controls, the Blue Devils were upset Sunday by Vanderbilt 7-5 in Nashville, Tenn.

No. 5 Duke (2-1) was unable to capital-ize on these advantages largely because of its inability to defend the Commodores’ free position shots. No. 19 Vanderbilt (1-0)

netted 6-of-7 free position opportu-nities, essentially nullifying the Blue

Devils’ shooting edge. Duke was 0-for-3 on its own free position chances.

“Those were tough shots,” Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “Vanderbilt is a good shooting team, and some of the shots were really well placed. Obviously we don’t want to give up those free positions.”

The Commodores played aggressive de-fense, holding Duke to its lowest goal total since Feb. 2010. The Blue Devils struggled to find continuity on offense, turning the ball over 16 times.

“We never put ourselves in a position to get any kind of rhythm going,” Kimel said. “We didn’t have the ball for a long time, and when we had it, we didn’t do anything with it.”

Duke was also solid defensively, particu-larly considering the loss of senior Bridget Nolan to an injury just five minutes into the game. Kimel also said senior goaltender Mollie Mackler has been battling a week-long virus and was at less than full strength

Commodores score six on free position shotsin yesterday’s loss.

“I’m really proud of our defense, es-pecially after having only a day or two to prepare for this,” Kimel said. “We really only prepared for them on [Saturday]. They’re a high scoring offense that does some things differently.”

Blue Devil freshman Kerrin Maurer, who totaled four goals and eight assists in her first two college games, was again impressive against Vanderbilt. She net-ted two goals, including one that evened the game at 3-3 two minutes into the second half. The Commodores, though, then embarked on a 3-0 run over the game’s next seven minutes and lead 6-3 with 18:25 to play.

“I’m really pleased that she took advan-tage of a couple of situations, was heads-up and savvy and finished when it mattered,” Kimel said. “She’s a great gamer.”

The Blue Devils drew within two with just 3:38 to play when Maurer scored off an assist from senior Kim Wenger. After sophomore Taylor Virden controlled the ensuing draw, it appeared Duke had a chance at mounting a comeback. But Van-derbilt controlled a Blue Devil miss off the crossbar and never allowed Duke another chance on goal.

“I think this will be a growing game for us,” Kimel said. “This was not a typical Duke women’s lacrosse game from our standpoint. We’ll get back to work, look at some film and I feel confident we’ll get back to ourselves.”

Nittany Lions foil Blue Devils at Card Gym

TYLER SEUC/THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devil men went 4-1 Saturday, falling just to No. 1 Penn State. The team claimed the Epee Cup for the best performance in the discipline.

by Sanette TanakaTHE CHRONICLE

Both Blue Devil fencing teams won four of their five matches in the Duke Home Meet this weekend at Card Gym.

The men’s team defeated Air Force, North Carolina, Brandeis and Johns Hopkins Saturday, while the wom-en’s team beat Air Force, North Carolina, Brandeis and Temple Sunday— both teams losing only to No. 1 Penn State. The epee squads from both teams claimed the Epee Cup, an award given to the top school in each divi-sion. The women’s saber squad also dominated, earning the Saber Cup.

Senior Tristan Jones, a two-time NCAA qualifier, led the epee squad with a 14-1 record.

“We have a really solid team in epee,” Jones said. “We have a strong drive, we communicate and we love each other.”

Senior Nathaniel DeLucia and sophomore Dylan Noll-ner split time to earn 12 wins, and all-American Jonathan Parker, a senior, posted an 8-7 record.

“We wanted it very badly,” DeLucia said. “We have a mix of styles, and we were able to play off of our respective strengths very well.”

The men suffered their only loss of the day against the Nittany Lions, falling 17-10. Jones attributed the loss to a series of fallen one-point bouts, 14 of which went to Penn State.

“Penn State is a solid team,” Jones said. “None of their guys are pushovers.”

In fencing, only the final outcome matters, and so a se-ries of close—but lost—bouts set the Blue Devils behind,

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Miles Plumlee explodes in winSenior grabs 22 rebounds, most of any player under Krzyzewski

by Tom GierynTHE CHRONICLE

Prior to Saturday’s win against Maryland, head coach Mike Krzyzewski showed his team film from two games in his program’s history. The first video was from a contest that even 20 years later holds a place in college basket-ball lore, when Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils took down Jerry Tarkanian’s then-undefeated UNLV squad in the 1991 Final Four. In that

game, Duke overcame its biggest obstacle of the season, but still had to keep its focus in order to win the ensuing champi-onship game and bring

home Krzyzewski’s first national title.“To me, one of the biggest things that’s

happened in my career was that team not just winning the national championship, but winning the national championship after our fans thought we had already won [by beating UNLV],” Krzyzewski said.

This year’s team had defeated North Car-olina in equally miraculous fashion, but still needed to keep its eyes on the road ahead.

“In order to be a champion, to be ex-ceptional,” Krzyzewski said, “you have to go on to the next thing.”

But Krzyzewski had his team watch film from another, more recent game as well—Duke’s 77-56 defeat of Maryland on Feb. 13, 2010. That matchup lacks instant-classic status, but it may have been the most cru-

cial game for this year’s team to emulate.That Saturday in 2010, the Blue Devils

were 20-4, having just beaten North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Possessing a balanced scoring attack but not an obvious superstar, they had been handed their first loss in late November, when they lost on the road to Wisconsin in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. They suffered their second loss right at the end of Winter break, again on the road, to Georgia Tech. And they had picked up two more tough losses in the latter half of January, getting beaten soundly by North Carolina State and Georgetown.

Almost exactly two years after that 21-point victory over Maryland, Duke also stood at 20-4 with its last win having come at the Dean E. Smith Center. The team again lost for the first time in the ACC-Big Ten challenge, fall-

ing to Ohio State in Columbus. History was repeated once more at the end of winter break when Temple handed Duke a surprise road defeat. Since then, Duke has fallen twice more, and even though those losses were closer than their 2010 counterparts, they occurred at Cameron Indoor Stadium. And again, a wider scoring distribution has been critical to this year’s team, which does not have an obvious go-to player.

Krzyzewski specifically addressed two play-ers after watching the Maryland footage. He approached Mason and Miles Plumlee, and told them to notice Brian Zoubek’s 16-point, 17-rebound outburst in the 2010 contest. Heading into that game, Zoubek had played

15.2 minutes per game, averaging 4.9 points and 6.2 rebounds. Miles Plumlee—who, like Zoubek in 2010, is the biggest player on the roster and sports a fledgling beard—has post-ed a similar line so far, with averages of 17.3 minutes, 6.3 points and 5.8 rebounds.

There are plenty of stark differences be-tween the 2010 squad and this year’s team, and even Krzyzewski admitted that he had an “older and better” team two years ago. But in the wake of his team’s 73-55 de-feat of the Terrapins Sunday, Krzyzewski’s choice of film appears prescient, especially given Miles Plumlee’s best Zoubek impres-sion with 13 points and 22 boards.

Zoubek averaged 24.1 minutes the rest of the season, with 6.2 points and 10.1 re-bounds, and the team went on to glory on

the national stage. Their only blemish was a loss late in the regular season to then-No.22 Maryland on the road, and this year’s squad likely has a similar obstacle in its Feb. 23 road date with No. 15 Florida State. Although any specific comparisons or expectations would be premature, Krzyzewski’s preparation and his team’s execution Sunday could be further signs of an upward trend for Duke.

Austin Rivers spoke after the game about Miles Plumlee’s team-oriented per-formance that was reminiscent of the way Zoubek had played, and said he sees a simi-lar team-first mentality in this year’s play.

“That’s why our team is headed in the right direction,” Rivers said.

Game Analysis


Two years ago, then-senior Brian Zoubek emerged as one of the nation’s best offen-sive rebounders, carrying his team to a vic-tory over Maryland with a 16-point, 17-re-bound game. On Saturday, senior Miles Plumlee spurred this year’s Blue Devils to victory against the Terrapins with a breakout performance of his own.

“[Zoubek] was really a role model for me when he was playing here,” Plumlee said. “It’s no coincidence. I knew this was the game two years ago that he turned it on. I just took a good look at myself and said I need to come out and do the same thing he did.”

Behind Plumlee’s 13-point, 22-rebound performance, which his younger brother Mason called “a man’s 20 and 10,” No. 10 Duke (21-4, 8-2 in the ACC) took control in the second half to earn a 73-55 win against Maryland (14-10, 4-6). Mason finished with a double-double of his own, but Miles’ display was the story of the game. His 22 rebounds were the most of any player in head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s 37-year career.

“He was the hungriest player on the floor,” Mason said of his brother. “It showed in his rebounding and the way he finished…. I couldn’t be more happy for him.”

Junior guard Seth Curry paced Duke in scoring with 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting. Like the rest of the Blue Dev-

ils, Curry did not shoot for a high per-centage, but Krzyzewski still praised the co-captain’s game.

“I thought Seth really came through for us in tough situations,” Krzyzewski said. “When they got it down to four, we called a timeout and called a set…. He hit the two free throws that put us up by six and got a bit of a rhythm going.”

But it was the team’s rebounding and physicality, though, that won the day. Duke managed a plus-15 rebound-ing margin behind the Plumlee broth-ers, who combined to more than double the Terrapins’ offensive rebounds. The team’s 48 boards were a season high.

“The Plumlee brothers were domi-nant,” Maryland head coach Mark Tur-geon said. “They kicked our tails on the glass.”

Those offensive rebounds allowed the Blue Devils to keep possessions alive, burning the clock to prevent a Maryland comeback. Duke ultimately took 14 more shots than the Terra-pins, which was crucial on an after-noon when the Blue Devils shot less than 40 percent from the field.

The rebounding advantage was in-dicative of Duke’s hustle and intensity, particularly in the second half. The team got off to a sluggish start, struggling to shake off the emotions of their thriller in Chapel Hill earlier in the week. After clawing back to take a halftime lead, the

Haley Peters drops 18 in win over ‘NolesDuke moves to 12-0 in conference play

by Chris CusackTHE CHRONICLE

When Duke played Florida State last month in Durham, the Seminole front-court combined to score 48 of the team’s 66 points in a losing effort. Sunday after-noon in Tallahassee, Fla. though, the Blue Devil post players responded, scoring 39

points while hold-ing Florida State’s starting forwards to 6-of-17 shooting.

No. 5 Duke (21-3, 12-0 in the ACC) kept its conference unbeaten streak alive by sliding past Florida State (13-13, 5-7) at the Tucker Center, 67-57.

Haley Peters led the way for the Blue Dev-ils with 18 points on 8-of-14 shooting, while Shay Selby reached double-figure scoring for the second time in three games.

“Haley just looked like she was shoot-ing shots that she shoots in practice,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “She was very, very balanced and very confident.”

Down 19-18 with 4:53 left in the first half, freshman Elizabeth Williams hit the first 3-pointer of her career to give the Blue Devils the lead. After Florida State’s Leonor Rodriguez responded with a basket, Duke went on a 7-0 run to take a lead it would never relinquish behind a 3-pointer from Kathleen Scheer and consecutive baskets in the paint from Selby and Tricia Liston.

After Florida State clawed back before

halftime, Selby gave the Blue Devils mo-mentum into the break by making a shot with seven seconds left.

“It was very key that Shay took that ball and scored into the half,” McCallie said.

Seminole Natasha Howard scored the game’s first basket after the break, cutting the deficit to five. She finished with 14 points and seven rebounds on the night. Cierra Bravard, who made 7-of-10 shots against Duke in the teams’ first game, was held to 0-of-4 shooting and just six points. Florida State played without suspended ju-nior forward Chastity Clayton, who scored 15 points against the Blue Devils at Cam-eron Indoor Stadium.

“We were just trying to use our speed to get around [Bravard] because she’s a big body,” Peters said. “We didn’t want to foul her as much as we did.”

The Seminoles still outrebounded the Blue Devils despite their scoring woes, helping Florida State overcome its 22-per-cent performance from beyond the arc. In contrast, Duke made five of its eight 3-point attempts.

“I’m disturbed about the rebounding totals, a little bit,” McCallie said. “We’ll work on that.”

The closest the Seminoles managed to get during the final 15 minutes was within eight points with just over two minutes to go. The Blue Devils rallied, though, hold-ing off the Seminoles for their fifth straight win over Florida State.

Duke avenges loss to Tennessee

Danowski reaches milestone in season opener

The Duke men’s lacrosse team began their regular season schedule with a milestone, delivering head coach John Danowski his 300th career win with a 16-8 victory over Rutgers (0-1) at Koskinen Stadium. Danowski is just the sixth coach in Division I men’s lacrosse to achieve that many wins.

Senior midfielder Robert Rotanz led the Blue Devil attack with four goals. Four other players registered more than one score for No. 2 Duke (1-0), with David Lawson notching three goals and Christian Walsh, Jake Tripucka and Josh Offit placing two balls in the back of the Scarlet Knight net.

Jordan Wolf, the lead returning scorer from last year’s squad, was held scoreless but had two of the team’s three assists.

Dan Wigrizer played nearly the entire game in goal for the Blue Devils, allowing all eight goals but saving six. Duke returns to action Saturday, heading to South Bend to take on No. 9 Notre Dame.

Women’s tennis advances to ITA Championships

The women’s tennis team remains undefeated with a sound victory over No. 5 California in the semifinals of the ITA National Women’s Team Indoor Champion-ships, winning 4-1. The No. 3 Blue Devils (8-0) will face UCLA in the tournament’s championship, beginning at 11 a.m. Monday.

They were led in doubles by freshman Beatrice Capra and sophomore Rachel Kahan who scored an 8-3 victo-ry, moving their season record to 8-0. Hannah Mar and Annie Mulholland also paired for a doubles victory.

On the singles end it was a battle between two highly ranked teams, both featuring six ranked players, 11 of whom competed Sunday. No. 35 Monica Turewicz con-tinued her season of success with a straight-set victory, moving her record to 13-0 overall.

Maryland wrestling snaps Duke’s win streak

The Duke wrestling team could not continue its three-game win streak, falling to No. 17 Maryland Sun-day 22-12.

At 141 pounds, freshman Tanner Hough won his sixth straight match with a tight 1-0 victory. The Blue Devils also secured victories at 125, 165 and 184 pounds, but ultimately lost six of 10 bouts to the Ter-rapins (14-1).

Duke will aim to get back in the win column as it returns to Cameron Indoor Stadium for a match Friday against N.C. State.

by Shiva KothariTHE CHRONICLE

Facing a familiar foe in a tough road test, Duke aimed to gain momentum heading into the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.

The No. 10 Blue Devils (7-0) passed with flying col-ors, dominating the No. 20 Volunteers (4-3) en route to a 6-1 road victory in Knoxville, Tenn. Having lost to

Tennessee two times last season, including a loss in the semifinals of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships last year, Duke

looked for retribution this year.

“It was definitely nice to get some revenge,” head coach Ramsey Smith said. “They beat us 7-0 at our place. That was one of the matches that really hurt last year.”

Starting off the match, the Blue Devils earned the dou-bles point, winning all three doubles matches to gain a 1-0 advantage. It was particularly significant because they lost the doubles point in their last two matches against the Volunteers.

“It was huge and it set the tone of the match,” Smith said. “All three doubles teams came out and played ex-tremely well and got the match going.”

At No. 3 doubles, Torsten Wietoska and freshman Ra-phael Hemmeler clinched the doubles point with an 8-5 victory after David Holland and Chris Mengel gave the Blue Devils an early advantage at No. 2 doubles, winning 8-6. In the final doubles match the No. 1 duo of Henrique Cunque and Fred Saba beat 33rd-ranked Mikelis Libietis and Hunter Reese.

In singles play, 17th-ranked Mengel and freshman Ja-son Tahir helped give Duke an early 3-0 lead. Mengel, af-ter going down 3-1 in the first set, won 11 of the next 12 games to win 6-3, 6-1, while Tahir cruised to a straight sets victory, 6-2, 6-1.

Building upon his teammates victories, Wietoska start-ed strong and had another clinching victory for the Blue Devils, winning comfortably over Jarryd Chaplin, 6-2, 6-4 to give Duke the match win.

“I am happy to help out the team and get two victories,” Wietoska said. “[But] it was more important for me to win the match for the team than for myself.”

Not to be outdone, 7th-ranked Henrique Cunha, Duke’s No. 1 singles player and the reigning ACC player of the week, won minutes after Wietoska to give Duke a 5-0 lead.

The singles play finished with two three-set matches. Hemmeler, after losing his first set of the season in dual match play, persevered in a super-tiebreaker while Fred Saba was not as fortunate as he lost his super-tiebreaker to provide the final 6-1 tally.

The strong showing in singles and doubles against Tennessee gave Duke its best start to the season in over 50 years and provided confidence going into the ITA Na-tional Team Indoor Championships, where the Blue Devils play No. 8 UCLA in the opening round.

“The Tennessee match was one of our better all-around matches of the season,” Smith said. “Anytime you are win-ning and winning consistently like we have the last couple of weeks, you feel confident. I like how we are improving and we are going to look to make a couple more improve-ments before we play UCLA.”

TRACK AND FIELD

Brodeur, Anderson highlight Millrose Gamesby Sarah Elsakr

THE CHRONICLE

Six Blue Devil men headed to New York Satur-day to compete in the most renowned meet of their season, the Millrose Games. Since 1908, top competitors from all over the world have gathered at the meet for the chance to face off against each other. This past weekend, some of Duke’s best ath-letes got the chance to go head-to-head with some of the toughest competition in the world, and several found success.

The day began with a first-place finish in the col-legiate 3000m from senior Andrew Brodeur. Bro-deur’s time of 8:10.27, a personal record for the se-nior, was good enough for the fourth-place spot on Duke’s all-time list.

Later on, sophomore Tanner Anderson mirrored Brodeur’s success by taking first place in the collegiate high jump. Anderson’s jump of 7’1” was only his second jump of the season, and the first time he had cleared 7’ this year.

Despite his successful competition, Anderson’s day did not end after his jump. The sophomore had been chosen to compete against some of the world’s best field athletes, including reigning high jump world champion Jesse Williams.

Anderson and Williams have a history that reaches back to their high school days. As a high school athlete in 2010, Anderson took down Wil-lams’ North Carolina high school record in the high jump, but until this weekend, the two had yet to compete against each other. The Millrose Games were not their first meeting however, as Anderson got the chance to see Williams compete in person at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., in June of 2011. The soon-to-be world champion had greeted Anderson then and of-fered some encouragement and inspiration to the Blue Devil.

On Saturday, Williams once again played a key role in encouraging Anderson. After missing his first two attempts at clearing his opening height, Anderson paused for a moment before making his third attempt and heard Williams cheer him on.

“I heard, from behind me, Jesse yell ‘Let’s go Tanner, let’s go. You’ve got to get up,’” Anderson said. “I just stopped and thought ‘Oh my gosh, the reigning world champion is cheering for me!’”

Williams’ encouragement proved to be just what Anderson needed. The Blue Devil cleared his next attempt and took sixth place, while Williams showed why he was the world champion, taking first and breaking the Armory record of 7’-7.25” set by Nathan Leeper in 2002.

The rest of the Blue Devil men at the meet, Stephen Clark, Ben Raskin, Nate McClafferty and Domenick De-Matteo, also stepped up this past weekend as they com-peted in the Byron Dyce college men’s distance medley relay. Their time of 9:52.96, a season best, was good for a fifth-place finish at the meet.

In contrast to the men, the women did not travel to New York. Instead, two members of the Blue Devil squad, seniors Suejin Ahn and Carly Seymour, traveled to Boston, Mass. to compete in the Valentine Invita-tional. The meet was a season debut for the seniors, who both showed that they were more than ready to start competing again.

The night was especially meaningful for Seymour, who sat out the 2011 season due to injury. In her first competition in almost eight months, the senior took third place in the 5000m with a personal best time 16:24.74.

Ahn, who also had a successful start to her 2012 sea-son, crossed the finish line for the 3000m in 9:40.65, taking 12th overall. Both the Duke women and their coaches expressed pleasure with their results.

Although all the Blue Devils who competed this weekend left the track looking forward to future com-petitions, and some, like Anderson, have major com-petitions down the road, they are content with their results this weekend.

“I had a really good experience,” Anderson said. “I got to jump against some of the best people in the world before Olympic Trials. Of course [reaching the Olympic Trials] is my ultimate goal, but for now I think it’s best to just take it one meet at a time.”

CLASSIFIEDS

Jones said. The men will have another chance to best Penn State the weekend of Feb. 25 at the Temple Duals.

“Hopefully some of the four-fives go our way, and we win,” Jones said.

The men’s saber squad also gave an impressive performance with wins in four of their five matches. Junior Anthony Lin went 8-4, followed by sophomore Timothy Evans at 8-5.

Lin noted that another factor leading to Duke’s loss to the Nittany Lions stemmed from the emotional weight of competing on their home turf.

“It’s a lot of pressure,” Lin said. “You want to do well for your team, for your coach. It’s a double-edged sword and a high emotions day.”

The women’s team—who entered the meet with a school-record 18 victories—once again made history by finishing with a 22-4 record. The 22 victories are the most gained in a single season for the women’s team, beating the record set in 2010 and 2011 of 17 wins. Their sole loss came at the hands of Penn State, which won 18-9.

Senior Becca Ward led the saber squad with a perfect 15-0 performance, advancing her nearly perfect record

to 69-1 this season. Ward, a three-time NCAA champion and bronze medalist in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has only lost seven bouts so far in her Duke fencing career, but noted that her final home meet is bittersweet.

“It’s gone by really fast,” Ward said. “I feel so attached, invested and devoted to this team. The thought of not being here next year—I can’t even talk about it.”

Junior Sean Cadley and sophomore Ko-dia Baye-Cigna helped spur the squad to victory, finishing 10-5 and 9-6, respectively.

The epee squad also topped the com-petition, led by two-time all-American Emily D’Agostino, who won 12 out of 15 bouts. Head coach Alex Beguinet called D’Agostino, a junior, a “driving force” on the squad.

“I’m proud of epee,” D’Agostino said. “We have improved the epee squad from being one of the weakest to one of the strongest. Seeing us hold our own—it’s such a good feeling.”

The foil squad rounded out the women’s team, with junior Lily Shepard finishing 12-3 and senior Dana Rosen going 10-5.

The only home contest for the Blue Devils took place in a new-look Card Gym, which was fitted with electronic score-boards, metal fencing strips and flat-screen televisions that feature live scores.

In the cold winter nights of Rajasthan, wrapped in my overcoat and two layers of blankets, I have a recurring dream revolv-

ing around a deep-dish Chicago-style Gino’s East pizza. Having spent summers outside the United States, I can spot my “ugly Ameri-can” symptoms, or “culture shock” to put it more nicely, from a mile away. Throughout the past three weeks in India, while negotiat-ing cultural differences, I’ve run the emotional rainbow: elation, confusion, frustration, embarrass-ment and everything in between. I bifurcate between two extremes: the urge to romanticize this beautiful country and the desire to seek refuge in Udaipur Cel-ebration Mall and eat McNuggets.

Upon our arrival to India at Delhi Interna-tional Airport, my friend remarked that she felt a bit cliche studying abroad in India—a mixture of “Eat, Pray, Love” and “Stuff White People Like.” I googled it and even though I am Asian Ameri-can, I am satisfying at least 10 “Stuff White Peo-ple Like” items by studying abroad (#72 is study abroad). That is to say, I am keenly aware how foreign and ridiculous I seem at times, struggling to eat with my right hand as a lefthander, butch-ering Hindi words beyond recognition and gen-erally losing my way and needing to ask for both geographic and cultural directions.

During my fi rst week in Udaipur, fi reworks streaked through the night’s sky as if welcoming me to the city. A wedding procession marched through the streets, complete with a groom atop a white horse adorned in sparkling fabrics. The drumming fueled my excitement and I was im-mediately infatuated with this side of India—the English-speaking tourist welcoming side. Two weeks into the program, however, I began to sus-pect India and I were better as “just friends.” My “ugly American” thoughts bubbled to the surface: “Why does no one have monetary change in this country? Why do all motor vehicles need to honk their horn when they are going 5mph and I am walking on the sidewalk? How can they eat so many chapattis for breakfast, lunch and dinner and not become diabetic or morbidly obese?” I couldn’t help laughing when a shopkeeper beck-oned me into his shop saying “Will you give me the chance to make you very happy?” and my host father asked me if “I was feeling very homely” (he meant homey).

Perhaps the most effective cure to my “ugly Americanism” was a piece of humble pie deliv-ered by my Indian student co-researcher/Hindi

translator. As I boarded the back of her motor-bike questioning “shale” (shall we go), she scold-ed me for learning only enough one-word Hindi

expressions to shop and board transportation. This past week, to complete an urban inquiry, I walked with my Hindi translator down a slum area near my house where people sell their wares and live on the sidewalk. I do not wish to add another image of a homog-enous third-world people to the mix, but a certain interview con-tinues to weigh on me. “Khana” (food) is the phrase that one fam-ily selling fl owers continued to say

to me. Through my translator, the family said “You are a student from America, you have ev-erything, and we have nothing.” When I asked if any of them had been educated, one girl replied “How can I be educated when I cannot afford to eat?” I then realized that my understanding of India had been fi ltered through conversations with those that could speak English, the most educated Indian people. I had let Hindi fl oat above me, missing out on the most revealing meanings behind its poetry, music, conversa-tions and everyday challenges.

I remember being told during DukeEngage Academy to resist the urge to fantasize about riding in on a white horse and saving the day. In all honesty, I am still processing this side of India and have not come to terms with its pov-erty or the number of hungry children. But I have found a treatment for my “ugly American-ism.” The repeated reminder that I have come to India to learn and better myself, and not as a tourist, is enough to humble me. It allows me to open my mind and heart to all sides of India and to fi nd teachers and learning opportunities in unexpected and unfamiliar circumstances. Some criticize DukeEngage, suggesting that its students participate in glorifi ed tourism and not service-learning. Although I doubt this is the case for the majority of students, I do be-lieve some Dukies might fi nd themselves frus-trated with the way things are outside the U.S. One could weather the culture shock-low points over time. But instead of wasting moments in cultural isolation, I recommend trying to be a fi rst rate student; learn and laugh rather than continuing to be a party of one.

The Board of Trustees is the University’s most impor-tant decision-making body—and its most private one. The issues that the Board discusses may not always be appropriate for outside ob-servers, but the Board does not have to give up closed meet-ings to justify its decisions to the University community.

The Board’s current media policy—which closes its meet-ings but allows reporters to meet with the president and the Board chair afterward—does half the job of a good media policy. The Board is right to close its meetings—some agenda items, like real estate acquisitions or high profi le hires, simply cannot be disclosed until after they have happened. Opening

meetings will only waste time and drive important discus-sions into the back room. We all win when the Board of Trustees can do its job.

We do not need to know every dirty de-tail of every Board of Trust-

ees meeting—we just need to know what policies the Board has endorsed and, crucially, why it endorses those policies. The Board’s current media policy rightfully keeps the mi-nutiae secret, but does a woe-ful job of providing public justifi cation for the Board’s decisions.

All members of the Uni-versity community—from stu-dents to Board members—would benefi t from stronger justifi cations for major deci-sions. The University com-

munity has a right to know in what direction Duke is mov-ing and why. But the Board also has self-interested rea-sons to justify its decisions: It can win buy-in by providing strong arguments for its posi-tions. At the very least, strong justifi cations would prompt students to reckon with argu-ments from Trustees rather than to dismiss their delib-erations as top-down and out of touch.

The Board currently publishes an anemic “Sum-mary of Actions Taken” re-port after each of its meet-ings. Right now, the report curtly gestures toward ma-jor decisions—the Dec. 3 report notes that the Board has developed a “New Cam-pus master plan” but says nothing of the matter—and

does not elaborate or justify those decisions.

But this report could be the seed of an essential document: the Board’s public arguments for its decisions. Just like the United States Supreme Courts justifi es its judicial actions, the Board should justify its policy actions. We are not asking for names or dissenting opinions; we just want to know why, in the end, the Board approved the Masters in Management Studies Degree at Duke Kun-shan University or the renova-tions to the Gross Chemistry Building.

We do not need to look farther than DKU for a cau-tionary tale. The Board ap-proved the initial $5.5 million of DKU funding in December 2010. But the justifi cation was sketchy, heavy on catch phras-

es and light on key details, like what the curriculum would look like. Confusion and angst ensued. As late as April of the following year, one professor could still point out the lack of a publicly available, “coher-ent and responsibly detailed vision for Kunshan.” Indeed, we only found in December 2011, a full year later, that a degree program—the MMS degree—had been approved for use at DKU.

All of this disarray could have been avoided with a strong initial justifi cation for DKU—one that ad-dressed the details of execu-tion and ruled out compet-ing alternatives. We do not want the Board to air its dirty laundry. But we want to know why the University is dressed the way it is.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Sorry guys.You probably think this holiday was made by a guy

named Saint Valentine. You might think it was Pope Gela-sius’s brainchild because you Wiki-pediaed it while writing a “History of the day!” section in your half-assed card. But the truth is I, The Devil, came up with Valentine’s Day centuries ago because I like to watch people suffer.

Valentine’s Day is the most pain-ful holiday because very few folks get off work, and even fewer get off. The trick was to set the bar extremely high on women’s expec-tations. Boyfriends can only screw up; friends with benefi ts can only disappoint or make things awkward; singles are mandated by tradition to spend the day telling everyone how lonely they are on Facebook. (I don’t need to mention husbands, as their misery is celebrated year-round.)

Originally, I was going to call it “Magnify the Problems in your Relationship Day” but I was advised to be a little trickier than that by Hallmark, the most trusted consulting fi rm in all of evildom. They said I should give the holiday a mascot too and suggested we make an eagle f*** a baby then give their progeny a medieval weapon. I was like, “Sick. Let’s defi nitely do that.” Those Hall-mark guys have never let me down.

We picked a girly color scheme and threw in some cardiac miseducation for good measure. A completely unrealistic, sym-metrical heart was the perfect symbol for how I wanted to lie to kids about the nature of love and set them up for a lifetime of disappointment. It was so brilliant I even got Disney on board.

Then the commercial media jumped in on my side and the day got even better. Despite how jewelry ads spin it to guys, Val-entine’s Day is not a holiday that guarantees sex. It’s not even in the top three any more. New Year’s Eve was always number one with its obligatory drunken kisses, followed by Halloween with its creative presentations of cleavage. But for the last three years, birthdays have held the top spot thanks to Jeremih. And even though many take matters into their own hands on Valentine’s Day, it goes without saying that the #1 holiday for jerking it is Palm Sunday.

I’ve always counted on sexually frustrated guys to do my fi n-est work. I love to reminisce about the 4th of July in ’93 when I stole Bernie Madoff’s mistress. Or the winter of ’32 when I went to Germany and made sure no one gave Hitler a beej. But on Valentine’s Day I feel like I can be in a million places at once—Santa Claus style—because for one day people all over the world are getting pissed off that the one they want isn’t living up to their expectations.

The beauty of my holiday is that nearly everyone loses. Howev-er, there is one way for a guy to end up a Valentine’s Day winner. You can put away the pen and paper—you’ve already screwed it up this year. To get things right, you have to put in the fore-thought, plan way ahead and get everything perfect. I’m talking of course about breaking up with your girl a week before. She’ll be devastated by the timing and expect to spend Valentine’s Day alone … which is great. This allows you to spend the next week hooking up with single girls at their most vulnerable to promises of love. Have your fun and then rest up on the night of the 13th. Once you’ve read the fi rst of your ex’s inevitable stream of self-pitying Facebook statuses on the 14th, steal some fl owers from the Chapel and show up at her room.

She’ll be overcome with surprise when she sees you at the door, and when her jaw drops it’s your cue to say “I can’t believe how stupid I was.” Kiss her before she has a chance to respond. Girls love being needed because it reminds them of having babies, so make sure you throw in an “I need you” or “I’ve always needed you” as you shut the door. It’s really that simple. You’ve shattered all her expectations for the day with what would’ve been an un-satisfactory bouquet and now you’re sure to have mind-blowing make up sex.

This column has made me feel a little like a Bond villain who reveals all his plans at the end of the movie for no good reason. But unlike Auric Goldfi nger, I cannot be killed and I’m already rolling in the dough from my scheme. Valentine’s Day has been working for centuries, and we’ve never even had to make a new batch of candy hearts.

@Monday_Devil tweets: Love is in the air… or maybe I’ve just got allergies. Yeah I’m gonna go with allergies.

A mousetrap loaded with

candy heartsOn Jan. 24, The Chronicle reported that Duke will award an honorary degree to Nancy Brinker, founder and CEO of Susan G. Ko-

men for the Cure, at May’s commencement. When the Academic Council and Board of Trustees made this decision, Brinker seemed like a worthy candidate. In a controversial decision, however, The Komen Foundation withdrew its sup-port from Planned Parenthood’s breast health, call-ing Brinker’s candidacy for this award into question.

On Feb. 8, the media reported that Duke still planned to honor Brinker, despite the recent events. I believe this decision was made without suffi cient discussion among the Duke community. There-fore, while I am not calling for the administration to revoke Brinker’s honor, I believe that we have a responsibility to engage in conversation about what it means to give this award, how it refl ects upon the University and perhaps most importantly, if Nancy Brinker is still someone we can support.

According to the Board of Trustees website, Duke has granted honorary degrees since 1855 in order to “recogniz[e] people who have exemplifi ed in their work the highest ideals and standards to which the University is dedicated.”

During my Duke career, I have learned that while the University does not have a perfect record on women’s issues, it is committed to empowering wom-en and improving our campus culture. Through the Women’s Initiative, the Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture, Laurie Patton’s ap-pointment as dean and the Women Center’s 25-year history, Duke has demonstrated its investment in im-proving women’s lives.

So, does Brinker’s work “exemplif[y] … the high-est ideals and standards to which the University is dedicated”? Yes and no.

Komen’s infl uence on breast cancer treatment, diagnosis and research suggests that Brinker’s work aligns with Duke’s values. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government rela-tions, told The Herald Sun that while at the helm of Komen, Brinker “helped raise more than $2 billion for research, diagnosis and treatment of breast can-cer, and has elevated global awareness of a pervasive disease.” As a woman with personal connections to breast cancer survivors and those less fortunate, I appreciate Brinker’s efforts to raise awareness and funds for research and new treatment options.

In the last fi ve years, Komen’s grants paid for 170,000 breast exams at Planned Parenthood clin-ics across the country, many of which benefi ted poor women, women of color and un- and under-insured women. These exams detect breast cancer early, which is critical in the fi ght to save lives. If this alone was Brinker’s legacy, I would wholeheartedly support her recognition.

However, in withdrawing their support from Planned Parenthood’s breast health initiatives, Ko-men made a decision that calls its commitment to

women’s health into question. The organization’s re-cent actions suggest that even “saving lives and end-ing breast cancer forever,” Komen’s self-proclaimed purposes, are highly political matters. As CEO, Brink-

er’s involvement in this debacle taints her otherwise commendable work.

Komen originally explained its withdrawal of support by pointing to a newly enacted grant policy that pro-

hibits the organization from funding organizations currently under investigation by a government body. A Florida representative’s current investigation of Planned Parenthood, therefore, disqualifi ed the organization. Atlantic Monthly writer Jeffrey Gold-berg, however, proves that this very policy was passed to target Planned Parenthood. This explains why Planned Parenthood remains the only organization to have its funding cut as a result of a governmental investigation, despite other grant recipients that are also under investigation.

Notably, Komen has continued funding Penn State University, which is under criminal investiga-tion after the Sandusky scandal. According to Ko-men’s policy, the fact that an investigation is cur-rently underway at Penn State should preclude the institution from receiving funding. If this is not the case, the investigation into whether Planned Parent-hood uses federal money for abortions would also not be grounds for defunding their breast cancer screening programs.

After the feminist community mobilized online against Komen’s moves, the organization publicly apologized, restated its commitment to fi ghting breast cancer and vowed to amend their policy to apply only to criminal investigations. Their vice president of public policy, the woman credited with spearheading the decision, also resigned.

One might suggest that withdrawing Brinker’s award after her public apology would be unfair. Brinker’s statement, though, does not reverse the de-cision, as Komen’s PR folks would like us to believe. Its misleading announcement promises to “continue to fund existing grants,” but does not address wheth-er it will fund Planned Parenthood in the future. While Brinker stated Planned Parenthood would be eligible for future grants, she made no promise that it would receive them. An apology is only worthwhile if it is honest, and does not further the injustice it claims to rectify.

Brinker’s contributions to the fi eld of women’s health are complicated. Historically, she has done worlds of good in a realm that aligns with Duke’s commitment to enhancing women’s lives. Recently, she jeopardized the health of women who rely on Planned Parenthood for breast exams and mammo-grams. The Duke I know does not stand for limiting women’s options. So what are we to do?

To start, let’s talk about it.

Associate Chief Nursing Officer Tracy Gosselin, who contributed to the planning of the center.

Departments in the center include radiation oncology, breast and gynecology oncology clinics, brain tumor and mela-noma clinics and others. Gosselin, also the director for oncol-ogy services at Duke University Hospital, noted that this cen-tralization of services will improve the flow of patient services, compared to the current geographically disjointed system.

“There is a very non-centralized feel right now for people who have to go throughout the cancer experience, from lab to radiology to where the clinics are,” Gosselin said. “We’re really trying to provide the core set of services

within the building.”Cancer patient groups formed under the Patient Advo-

cacy Council—an independent, institutional review board that advises clinical research—gave input on what they would like to see in the building during the initial phases of planning, said Carolyn Carpenter, associate dean and administrator of the Duke Cancer Institute, which jump started the mission of translating research into advanced cancer care. Their recommendations resulted in the addi-tion of five attributes—natural light, privacy, rejuvenation centers, a building designed on a humanistic scale and the ability for patients to communicate with each other during infusion treatments, if desired.

“Other hospitals have overly big cancer centers that it make you feel like you’re going into an arena, which is very dehumanizing to people,” said Carpenter, who is also the associate vice president for oncology services in the health system. “We worked hard to avoid that type of space by... making sure people do not feel like they are part of a ware-house or machine.”

Located next to the Morris Cancer Clinic, the seven-sto-ry, 267,000 sq.-foot Cancer Center will feature 123 clinical exam rooms, 73 infusion stations and three clinical floors. Additionally, an enclosed air-conditioned concourse will connect the Cancer Center facility to the Duke Clinics, as well as to the currently under construction Duke Medicine Pavilion and Duke Hospital. The center is part of DUHS’s roughly $700-million expansion and is paid for through a combination of funds borrowed, rasied and in reserve.

Staff members have begun training and orientation for the move into the new building, said Tina Piccirilli, director of the Duke Center for Cancer Survivorship.

“When you look at a building for a long time on paper it’s just a concept,” Piccirilli said. “Now that people can ac-tually see it… they are more excited about the building.”

Nancy Andrews, vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean of the School of Medicine, noted that the new Cancer Center could attract faculty recruits, fellows seeking train-ing in cancer-related areas and patients. The main benefit the new center will provide is a place to make cancer care focused on the needs of the patient.

“People go through a lot when they have cancer,” An-drews said. “We tried to make it so their experience is as comfortable, streamlined and focused as possible.”

concern for campus issues while serving with him on DSG executive board for the past two years.

“He has an incredible range of experiences at Duke, and he’s going to captivate the attention of Trustees in a powerful way,” Schork said.

The election went more smoothly than those in the past two years, though there was one bylaw violation in the Young Trustee Nominat-ing Committee’s process, said DSG Attorney General James Lee, a senior and current co-managing editor for online at The Chronicle.

“This year we tried to avoid violations from the start,” Lee said. “We’re more transparent about the rules with the candidates, and the entire process has become more streamlined.”

During the campaign process, Danesh received six official en-dorsements. Wilson secured nine and Mandl did not receive any endorsements.

“I’m immensely grateful for all the support that I received from so many different people throughout the campaign,” he said. “Much of my motivation came from that support, and I really can’t be thankful enough.”

Like the other candidates, Danesh met with various campus organizations while campaigning to discuss specific issues and con-cerns of each group and how they can be relayed to the Board. Danesh said these meetings defined his campaign and shaped his ideas about presenting student concerns to the Board.

“Meeting with groups made me think a lot about how the ev-eryday things, people and groups have the ability to relate to the Board, because at the surface, there are a lot of issues that we hear about everyday that aren’t immediately Board-level issues,” Danesh said. “The challenge is to see how they can be seen as such.”

In his campaign, he also created a website and reached out to students, encouraging them to vote.

“I wanted to make sure that I was doing everything that I could, and it all paid off,” Danesh said.

Looking forward, Danesh said he will draw from his personal undergraduate experience at Duke to advise and contribute to the Board. He will serve a three-year term as a Trustee—one year as a nonvoting member and two years as a voting member.

Wilson said he believes that Danesh will be an asset to the Board and a great Young Trustee.

“Kaveh is extremely smart and has a great understanding of how academics play a role in the undergraduate experience,” Mandl added. “He will bring good insight into the Board.”
