Program seeks to fix weaknesses

by Anna KoelschTHE CHRONICLE

Editor’s note: This is the third in a three-part series evaluating DukeEngage since its inception in 2007. Today’s article addresses critiques of the program and discusses Du-keEngage’s responsive strategic plan. Part 1 examined the student experience with Duke-Engage and Part 2 analyzed the relationship between DukeEngage and the Duke brand.

As an international service program, DukeEngage faces the challenge of prov-ing that it offers students more than just a free trip abroad.

DukeEngage’s strategic plan for 2017 outlines ways to address several short-comings of the program, which has a $4 million annual budget and fully funds more than 400 students to participate in immersive service projects around the world every year. For instance, the one-time, rather than sustained, nature of DukeEngage prompts criticism of this particular service model. Additionally, students consistently show more interest in international offerings than domestic sites, raising questions about what makes overseas service more attractive. Duke also faces a challenge in connecting stu-dents’ summer experiences into their broader Duke career.

Episodic engagementSome of the most pervasive critiques

of DukeEngage are, firstly, that students see the program as a travel opportunity as much as a service experience and, second-ly, that engagement projects are episodic. Inherent constraints of the program —a typical duration of two months and little infrastructure and resources for students to return to their project site—make it hard for the program to combat the cri-tique that it offers short-term “voluntour-ism.”

Deadlines dropped for campaigns by Carleigh Stiehm

THE CHRONICLE

Future Duke Stu-dent Government elec-tions will not be bound by campaign timeline constraints or arbitrary spending limits.

After the April 11 DSG election was post-

poned to April 16, the Board of Elec-tions decided to disallow further cam-paigning. But on April 14, the DSG Judiciary ruled to overturn the deci-sion, removing the campaign restric-tions. The Judiciary determined that it was not within DSG’s power to restrict free speech via social media. Addition-

ally, the ruling nullified the Board of Election’s ability to determine start and end dates for campaigning.

“The most immediate ramification is that specified election periods have been declared unconstitutional, so the-oretically someone could start running for DSG president for next year, right now,” said Chief Justice Daniel Strunk, a junior.

The complaint was initially filed by freshman Bryan Dinner, a candidate for vice president of social culture, and sophomore Cynthia Wang, a candidate for senator for academic affairs.

Strunk added that a candidate’s ability to campaign is part of having the freedom of speech as guaranteed

by the DSG bill of rights. By implement-ing an election timeline, the Senate was infringing on the freedom of speech and expression of the candidates, said Strunk, who is also a columnist for The Chronicle.

President-elect Stefani Jones, a ju-nior, wrote in an email Sunday that the change will not have a large impact on how DSG election cycles operate.

“I can’t see students embracing the idea of perpetual DSG elections, so can-didates will be pressured to not start too early,” Jones said. “DSG can still have a filing deadline for candidates to be on the ballot, so I’d expect campaigns to

Assessing DukeEngage:Part 3 of 3

by Maggie SpiniTHE CHRONICLE

Editor’s note: This is the first in a two-part series evaluating depression among students on campus and how they seek help. Today’s article analyzes how Duke students fit into the trend of increasing rates of depression at universities nationwide and why some students choose medication over other treatment

options. Tuesday, The Chronicle will assess what about the college environment makes students more susceptible to depression and will explore alternative treatment options to medication.

Although he had been a diligent student throughout the majority of high school, some-thing shifted for Advait Ghuge, now a senior, before he arrived at Duke.

He began to lose his interest in academ-ics and lost the ability to focus on anything. Finally, in college, he was diagnosed with de-pression.

“During my senior year of high school, typical senioritis came in around Christmas,”

opportunities over domestic opportunities may support this argument. For example, Mlyn noted that the program in Cape Town, South Africa—a location that would be expensive for many students to travel to on their own—consistently yields the high-est application numbers. Still, he argued that most participants do not view it as a free travel opportunity.

“It would be hard to find a large group of students who experience it as volun-tourism,” Mlyn said. “We don’t want to be a voluntourism program.”

The episodic critique is difficult for the program to dispel, because its struc-ture has students intensively engaging in service for a short period of time rather than over an extended period.

Edward Skloot, professor of the prac-tice of public policy and director of the Center for Strategic Philanthropy and Civil Society, said the fact that DukeEn-gage runs based on an academic sched-ule is unavoidable, but it might weaken the program.

“People come, people go, kids come, kids go, faculty come, faculty go,” said Sk-loot, a member of the DukeEngage Na-tional Advisory Board. “There might be very little overall long-term effect.”

Sherryl Broverman, associate profes-sor of the practice of biology and pro-gram director for DukeEngage’s WISER program in Muhuru Bay, Kenya, noted that she tries to give opportunities for students to return to Muhuru Bay after their DukeEngage summer there. The community finds more value in contin-ued relationships rather than one-off en-counters, she said.

The strategic plan does not note cri-tiques of voluntourism or episodic service specifically, but it does mention the need to create a stronger tie between DukeEn-gage and a student’s overall Duke experi-ence. Helping students tie their summer back into their four years at Duke will help the program reply to some critics who argue that the program is short-term voluntourism.

“It’s not episodic if students link it back,” Mlyn said. “Ultimately, we’re lim-ited by the fact that we’re a University,

students go to school during the year, that you’re all 18-21, and the skills and energies you bring to this are all deter-mined by that.”

International trumps domesticDukeEngage has seen consistently

lower student interest in domestic pro-grams as compared to the international ones. This raises questions about the role that location plays in students’ choice of programs.

Since its creation, 25 percent of Du-keEngage students have participated in domestic programs and 75 percent in international programs, according to the 2017 strategic plan. Independent project proposals similarly had more focus on in-ternational work than domestic—in sum-mer 2012, only one independent project was domestic.

Even now, DukeEngage is adjusting to make domestic programs more desirable to students. After a period of low inter-est expressed in DukeEngage Durham, the program changed this year to include time spent in both Durham, North Caro-lina and Durham, England. Students will spend a month in each location.

“Students vote with their applications, and they stopped applying to our Dur-ham program,” DukeEngage Executive Director Eric Mlyn said. “But we’ve always wanted to try a program that linked the local to the global. We try to create stu-dent demand.”

For summer 2013, there are 11 do-mestic programs and 28 international programs. By 2017, the program plans to increase the share of participation in domestic programs to 35 percent of Du-keEngage participants. It also plans to in-crease the share of domestic independent projects to 15 percent of all independent projects. To promote interest in domes-tic programs, DukeEngage will replace outgoing international programs with domestic projects and will offer more do-mestic programs in urban areas.

“Domestic is not sexy, rural is really not sexy,” said senior Emily McGinty, who works with the DukeEngage program in Hot Springs, North Carolina. “People say DukeEngage is my ticket to go someplace I may never go otherwise.”

Although students who seek domestic

programs are in the minority, many say that their experience is more rewarding and deserving of more attention. Accord-ing to survey findings collected by Duke-Engage during summer 2010, students in domestic programs reported gain-ing more insights about themselves and greater gains in self-confidence than stu-dents in international programs.

Improving connectionsDukeEngage administrators agree

that the best way to address critiques and weaknesses of the program is to help stu-dents to synthesize DukeEngage and to tie its experiential nature back into the more traditional Duke education. In this vein, the strategic plan calls for establish-ing more curricular connections and in-creasing faculty engagement.

“We need to help students connect their DukeEngage experience with the overall arc of their educational trajec-tory,” said Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education.

Existing structures like Duke’s global advising program—started in 2011—help students integrate DukeEngage into their overall Duke experience. The proposed experiential learning certificate, ap-proved by Academic Council in Febru-ary, is another mechanism the University hopes will help with this.

Having faculty members on campus will bridge the gap between the sum-mer project and the school year, Mlyn said. Beginning 2013, no new programs will be started without leadership from a Duke faculty or staff member. Before, new project ideas were often driven by volunteer-sending organizations, such as Social Entrepreneur Corps, which leads DukeEngage Guatemala-Antigua and Ni-caragua-Granada.

“We are convinced that having faculty attached to programs deepens the impact after students come back and before they leave,” Mlyn said.

DukeEngage has created a new posi-tion called the faculty liaison—a faculty member who advises students before the summer, when the students are in the field and after the summer. DukeEngage will eventually attach a faculty liaison to every program, starting with DukeEn-gage Guatemala and Tucson, Arizona in

summer 2013. Bringing on more faculty mentors

may be a challenge, Broverman noted, because many faculty who are active in student mentoring already participate in some facet of DukeEngage.

In addition to greater faculty involve-ment, long-term evaluation of students’ experience with DukeEngage will help frame improvements to how it fits into the rest of a Duke student’s life, Skloot said.

“How has this altered young people’s career paths, life paths, relationships with people?” he said. “It’s still a little early to see the outcomes. This is how we’ll see if the mission is accomplished.”

Ghuge said. “Between then and the end of the next two years, I have almost no memory, and that’s attributed to depression. I didn’t realize I had it.”

Ghuge’s story is just one example of a bur-geoning phenomenon in the United States. Today, the number of students entering col-leges and universities nationally who seek treatment for depression is higher than ever, said Gary Glass, assistant director for outreach and developmental programming at Counsel-ing and Psychological Services.

Duke does not keep data on the number of students diagnosed with depression because the disorder is complex to diagnose and many students choose to receive treatment outside of the University. But 30 percent of students entering Duke in 2011 were already using medication to treat depression, said Donna Lisker, associate vice provost for undergradu-ate education.

In order to gauge the prevalence of depres-sion on college campuses over time, CAPS draws information from reports written by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health, CAPS Director Kelly Crace wrote in an email Apr. 5. The pilot report was published in 2009, and statistics from Duke have been included in ev-ery annual report.

The 2009 report notes that depression is the most frequent problem experienced by students seeking psychological and psychiatric treatment. The current estimates also indicate an increase in the prevalence of depression compared to several decades ago. The average age of onset is also on the decline, making de-pression a “particularly salient problem area for college student populations.”

Although Ghuge had not yet identified what was wrong, he decided to take a semester off to spend at home.

When Ghuge returned home for the se-

mester, he and his parents began to accept that Ghuge might have depression. With his family, Ghuge eventually decided to try medi-cation.

“I still remember the first day I took my medicine,” he said. “It was as if a veil had been removed from in front of me.”

Deciding to medicateAlthough CAPS offers a range of treat-

ments for depression, Glass noted that some-times medication is the best option to combat physiological manifestations of depression. There are several psychiatrists at CAPS who can prescribe anti-depressants to students for the first time or work with students already on anti-depressants to moderate dosage.

According to the Center for Collegiate Mental Health 2012 report, 13 percent of students surveyed nationwide started taking a prescription for mental health concerns after starting college, 8.7 percent reported having taken medications before coming to college and 10.1 percent took medications before starting college and continued to do so. The remaining 68.2 percent of respondents had never been medicated for mental health rea-sons.

“Nationally, more students come into col-lege with medication, and this accounts for some of the rise in college students being de-pressed,” Glass said. “But it’s not necessarily an indication that college students are more depressed.”

An ‘elusive’ diagnosisDespite the growing trend of students ei-

ther identifying themselves as depressed or seeking help for symptoms of depression, the condition is still elusive, Glass said. It is hard to identify students as depressed because nearly all individuals go through periods of unhappi-ness or stress, he added.

“Our philosophical assumption is that stu-dents are going through such profound life

experiences that it makes more sense to think of how students are developing than simply what diagnosis we would assign,” he said. “It’s often more helpful to recognize the symp-toms of depression as indicating that help is needed.”

CAPS offers a range of counseling services and treatment options to students who show symptoms of depression but lack an actual di-agnosis.

To diagnose depression is to diagnose a “constellation of symptoms,” Glass added, and is further complicated because individuals do not have to have all symptoms to be clinically considered depressed. Symptoms include impaired concentration, apathy and loss of interest, sad or numb moods, irritability and suicidal thoughts. Depression can be recur-rent or single-episode, and each of those dis-orders has sub-categories of mild, moderate and severe.

Taking time offAlthough Ghuge had not yet been diag-

nosed with depression when he decided to take time off, he said the disorder seriously af-fected his ability to function as a student.

“My grades had declined, and my motiva-tion to study was gone, whereas before I was an extremely motivated student,” he said. “Depression takes whatever intellectual gift you have and makes you unable to use it. Easy things become things you’re unable to do.”

Senior Ahmad Jitan, who was diagnosed with depression his sophomore year, said the stresses of being at Duke made him feel as though his depression was affecting his life more significantly than it had in the past. This led Jitan, also a columnist for The Chronicle, to consider taking time off from school.

“The competitive environment brought more of it out,” he said.

In order to take time off from Duke, stu-dents are required to provide documentation from a medical provider that states their sup-

port for a leave of absence, which students then give to their academic dean, Amy Powell, associate dean of students and director of the case manager office, wrote in an email Tues-day.

During his time off, Jitan traveled to for-eign countries and spent time at home.

“[I] gave myself time and space to heal [and] to process it and to find myself,” he said.

Getting back into life at Duke after his leave of absence was also difficult, he added.

“There was a process of realizing that I was taking a nontraditional path for my education and realizing there’s nothing wrong with go-ing at my own pace,” Jitan said. “There was also a lot of forming new relationships be-cause some of the people I came in with were graduating earlier [than I was].”

When students return to campus, the Uni-versity provides outreach and support through the Office of Case Management, Powell said.

“A lot of it is relearning how to study or finish a task all the way through or disciplin-ing yourself to get up in the morning,” Ghuge said. “It makes you highly introspective…. You have to learn about how different thought processes affect you and how to avoid falling into the pitfalls of those processes.”

naturally start close to that deadline.”This is the first time that the Judicia-

ry has decided a case based on the bill of rights, which was enacted Feb. 8.

“It is important to note that we didn’t necessarily want to come to this decision. This was a decision that we, as justices, had to come to legally based upon the doctrine that we had to evaluate,” said Associate Justice Joseph Denton, a freshman. “It was actually a very natural decision, and it was made unanimously.”

The Judiciary has jurisdiction to oversee any case brought before them that has to do with any student group, DSG, tenting or the Student Organiza-tion Finance Committee.

Associate Justice Max Schreiber, a

freshman, added that the dissolution of specific dates to begin campaigning will change some of the dynamics of DSG election cycles.

“Timing is a big thing politically, and that has never been an issue with Duke elections before because the timeline for everybody to start was always the same, and the timeline for everybody to finish was always the same,” Schreiber said. “Now this decision adds this whole element politically to the length of one’s campaign [and] the start of one’s campaign.”

He added that the open election timeline will “add a lot of twists to elec-tions in years to come.”

Associate Justice Kory Painter, a se-nior, said the revised timeline policy will add a new dimension for candidates to set themselves apart from one another.

“It will demonstrate the quality of

campaigns and how efficient they are,” Painter said.

In addition to removing restrictions on campaigning timelines, the ruling redefined DSG’s role in determining campaign budgets.

Although the Senate can still set a budget for a campaign, they can no lon-ger determine how the money can be spent, at what rates candidates must pay for campaign materials or assign values to campaign materials that do not have a monetary cost—such as posting to so-cial media.

“It was very clearly written in the stu-dent bill of rights that DSG can establish a cap on the amount of money a can-didate can spend during a campaign,” Strunk said. “[But] they can’t charge you for actions like creating a Facebook page that are inherently free and that candidates wouldn’t be charged for oth-

erwise.”He added that it infringes on a can-

didate’s freedom of speech to set arbi-trary price values.

Painter said the Judiciary reaches its decisions through a “round robin” dis-cussion process, in which Strunk guides the conversation, and each justice dis-cusses his or her views until an agree-ment is reached.

Strunk said it is important for stu-dents to know how to use the Judiciary as a method to manage disputes when a student group violates rights guaran-teed by the bill of rights.

“The Judiciary is here as a resource to help settle any disputes that might in-volve the recently ratified bill of rights, just as we did in this case,” Strunk said.

The Judiciary had seven cases filed this year, and six were seen through to trials.

Adolescent Brain Development: New vulnerabilities and opportunities

Over the past decade there have been rapid advances in understanding adolescent brain development. Early popular notions emphasized the concept of an ‘immature prefrontal cortex’ as the source of adolescent vulnerabilities. This presentation will describe growing evidence for an alternative approach emphasizing unique learning opportunities during adolescence which create enormous opportunities for early intervention, prevention, and positive developmental trajectories.

Ronald E. Dahl, M.D., is professor in the Community Health and Human Development program and Joint Medical program in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. His work focuses on early adolescence as a developmental period with unique opportunities for early intervention in relation to a wide range of behavioral and emotional health problems.

In writing my last column, I didn’t want to be that overly nostalgic, cliché, doesn’t-want-to-graduate senior who won’t stop gushing about memories

and sharing things on her bucket list. What follows is a toned-down version of that.

Over the past year, I’ve started to approach my friendships, relation-ships and plans differently. During my fi rst and second year, I used to get so antsy and insecure about spend-ing time with friends—I just HAD to be in the know about every detail in their lives, like Oh-Em-Gee. You were there once, right? You’d feel SO left out if you passed on just one Saturday Night Shooters or if you weren’t in-cluded on trips to the Marketplace. I’d feel disheart-ened upon realizing that I’d lost touch with certain people, the same people I’d share all my secrets with or spend day in and day out with only months ear-lier. I’d come across folks who used to be my back-bone, and pass by them with merely a smile and ca-sual hello. “I used to be so close with her!” I would think. “What happened? Why doesn’t he confi de in me anymore? Why am I always the one to reach out to her? What happened?”

But life happened. Where has all the love gone? It’s still there … but it’s evolved. I’ve learned to accept the fact that that while some friendships strengthen and new ones form, others fade. And that’s perfectly okay. I used to focus so much of my energy and time on the people that seemed to be just beyond my grasp, that I lost opportunities to spend time enjoy-ing myself with friends who were patting my back. While some friendships naturally wane, new ones de-velop in their place. I’ve even invested myself in a re-lationship knowing that it will soon end once I grad-uate. I don’t regret not meeting him sooner, simply because our relationship wouldn’t have been what it is right now. When I do eventually catch a break with some friends I haven’t seen in awhile, we have an incredible time together, laughing ‘til our stomachs hurt so much that we’re gasping for air. I’ve come to appreciate those moments—I am happy when those moments happen maybe once a month, rather than sad that they don’t happen everyday. Enter cliché: What matters isn’t what does or does not happen, but rather what you choose to make of it.

A Duke alum once advised me, “Until you gradu-

ate, plan to have lunch with someone new every single day.” While that sounds like a wonderful idea, one that I wish I had attempted two years ago, I’m in a new place, one in which my joy doesn’t come

out of having the widest network of friends, but appreciating all of my friendships, no matter what stage they’re in.

A mindset change also hit me with “going out.” A friend once told me somewhat regrettably, “I’ve hard-ly gone out at all this semester. I’ve been so lame.” After a pause, I asked her, “But are you happy? Have you been happy?” She replied with a yes and a genuine smile. I told her then

that was all that mattered. No longer experiencing the deeply rooted Fear Of Missing Out that I used to feel during my fi rst year of college, I told myself that I would only go/do/see things that I truly wanted to. I discovered how to sift through all of the friend pressure and the seeping FOMO to ask myself: Do you REALLY want to go to Quarter Beers tonight? Are you actually looking forward to seeing this play? For some of these questions, the answer was a sim-ple, “Hell no.” For others, it was an obvious yes. I have started doing the things I want to do, even if it means doing them alone—going to the Arts Annex to paint, seeing Choreolab by myself, staying home to catch up on “New Girl.” When I wanted to go to Shooters, I had the most carefree and fantastic time, full of bull-riding/bar-dancing fun. However, if after 30 minutes at Satis I found myself feeling bored but my friends were having the time of their lives, I’d take a cab home. Like my friend, whom I rarely see but whose company I cherish nonetheless, I was hap-py with what I was doing because I chose it.

My whole four years of college would have been a lot easier if I thought this way. There would have been less social anxiety, fewer regrettable nights and more authentic enjoyment. Yet I don’t regret the way my Duke experience has evolved. I look back and won-der not where all the love has gone, but where the time has gone. My outlook on friendships is constantly shifting, but for now, I’m in a great place to jumpstart my new life beyond Duke’s Gothic Wonderland.

Judiciary oversteps bounds

Visit www.chronicleblogs.com for our news, sports, editorial and recess blogs.

One week ago, the Duke Student Government Judicia-ry issued its fi rst ruling based on the new DSG bill of rights. We believe the ruling has neg-ative implications both for the regulation of undergradu-ate elections by the Board of Elections and the DSG policy-making pro-cess more broadly.

The case, Dinner and Wang v. Board of Elections, contended that the Board of Elections had misinterpreted the Senate’s extension of this year’s Senate and Class Council elections, which were postponed due to a technical error. Dinner and Wang also questioned the Senate’s regulations on the way candidates spent money on campaigning.

The Judiciary’s decision, which is rooted almost entire-ly in the “freedom of speech” clause in the DSG Bill of Rights, has three main pillars. First, the Judiciary ruled that

the Board of Elections can-not assign mon-

etary values to candidates’ “speech acts.” Secondly, the BOE cannot regulate speech acts that have no actual mon-etary cost, and thirdly, neither DSG nor the Board of Elec-tions has the ability to specify or enforce a timeline when these speech acts occur.

The ruling strips the Board of Elections of most or all of its regulatory power, and we believe that each of its com-ponents has the potential to negatively affect the student election process. As it stands,

many student elections de-volve into popularity contests, and deregulation will only shift the discourse further away from relevant concerns about the candidates’ plat-forms. The third component allows candidates to start campaigning weeks, months or even a full year ahead of elections. Although it is hard to discern whether this will be a net benefi t or detriment to “less popular” candidates, the possibility of an effectively never-ending election cycle means a lot more noise, and very little added value, to campus discussion.

Most troubling is that these problems are self-manufac-tured and confi rm our initial skepticism about the DSG Bill of Rights. When the Board of Elections set election timelines

and fi elded complaints from candidates, it generally worked smoothly and was never the focus of major criticism. It re-mains to be seen, moreover, how the ruling will affect the highly regulated Young Trust-ee elections, which have a two-stage electoral procedure.

The Bill of Rights, which is intentionally vague and open to broad interpretation, substantially bolsters the Judi-ciary’s power of judicial review and, by extension, makes it into a powerful undergradu-ate policymaking body. The U.S. Supreme Court has large review powers in part because considerable separation ex-ists between citizens and the government. With Duke’s un-dergraduate government, the separation is much less signifi -cant. Disgruntled individual

students are often able to affect widespread campus change outside the DSG system.

The Judiciary’s increased power is harmful for at least two reasons. First, its mem-bers are neither the most qualifi ed nor representative undergraduate policymakers. Those titles, theoretically, fall to the DSG Senate and ex-ecutive board. Second, future rulings have the possibility to impact student groups out-side of DSG. While we believe the Judiciary should serve as an objective third party to re-solve certain issues, the pos-sibility that its broad rulings might affect otherwise auton-omous student groups threat-ens both their independence and the mission that student organizations are meant to carry out.

Brilliant. This is indeed a 14th Amendment issue, and it’s nice to see someone expand on that with clarity, reason and substantiated claims rather than with pseudo-philosoph-ical dribble we unfortunately saw yesterday.

Dear Dookie,Question: Why do you suck so

much? You’re the worst. Not one word of your “advice columns” offers valu-able advice.

—Not AmusedDear Pretty Amusing,First and foremost, con-

gratulations. Scientists have said that higher-level corti-cal functioning is necessary for the development of lan-guage, but you’ve proved them wrong. Maybe your question is like that novel they say a chimp could write if it threw its feces at a com-puter enough times—but I’d like to believe I’m experiencing a miracle. You, sir, are an inspiration to us all.

Secondly, I’d like to extend further felic-itations for your bold idea. You pointlessly and anonymously attacked a Chronicle columnist! And more, it was Monday, Mon-day! What bravery, what heroism! You’ve truly made an impact on Duke’s campus, and really, the world. Does anybody know if the Nobel Peace Prize is still available? Never mind, they probably already gave it to Obama.

In all seriousness, I didn’t ask for this job. It was offered to me, and I was pretty hesitant to take it. It wasn’t just that satire isn’t my style (as some have pointed out condescendingly, I’m rather blunt—and apparently, comedy and critique don’t ex-ist outside of subtlety). It was that I’d seen Monday, Monday get torn apart for … well … anything. It’s either too raunchy or not raunchy enough. It’s not satire or it’s not GOOD satire or it’s TOO good and indi-rectly promotes what it satirizes. So many self-appointed, self-righteous critics make the same error: They enter the coliseum with their thumbs down. They’re ready to be offended, searching for something to disapprove of. Worse still, they assume Monday, Monday EVER means ANY-THING they say.

The point of the anonymity of the col-umn, in my mind, is so the author CAN mean nothing. It is so they can be intention-ally incendiary in order to cause outrage and conversation in ways that facts, orchestrated discussions, statistics and personal stories continually fail to do. As Dear Dookie, my goal wasn’t to please—it was to provoke. To get people talking—or better, thinking—about important issues that are hard to talk about. Usually, this meant taking an extreme, opposite viewpoint from the one I actually hold in order to point out its fl aws or bring its existence to light. I thought this was pretty clearly what I was doing. I literally referred to myself as a piece of s**t. Did anyone re-ally expect valuable advice from a turd? I know—it may be hard to understand. Satire, snarkiness and sarcasm are harder for some people to follow than the plot of a “Dora the Explorer” episode. We’re going through WHAT forest?! Remind me a 12th time. Get Map back out here!

I refuse to believe that satirizing, criti-cizing or making light of touchy subjects is necessarily destructive. Humor brings to light not only society’s bright spots, but

also its scars, bruises and adult acne. It can be offensive and unsettling, but it forces people to think about things by getting at them when their defenses are down. To at-tempt to censor such provocative speech in-

fantilizes those creating and consuming humor, alienates those whose opinions are not cemented and recesses into a neoliberal bubble that is isolated from how the world really is.

Maybe we’re already stuck in that bubble. Mon-day, Monday exists to criti-cize the uncriticizable, but if there’s something I learned

in a semester as Double D, it’s that Duke students are horrible at taking criticism. They interpret critique as an invalidating personal attack. They attempt to refute crit-icism in any way possible—brushing it off as unimportant or trying to explain it through some fl aw of the critic. Any recognition of fault is superfi cial and defensive, serving to try to nullify the criticism instead of face it. These passionate, intelligent students are so self-involved and invested in their own infi nite correctness that they never stop to think there might be some merit to the ar-guments of others or benefi t to acknowledg-ing fault. I blame participation trophies.

So as for the Dookie’s fi nal advice? After a semester as a half-closeted Monday, Mon-day, I could think of many things. There is no benefi t to treating those who have dif-ferent opinions from you as “less than”—in fact, it’s just really awkward. You can tell real friends and mature people by their ability to disagree with you and like you at the same time. No matter how egalitarian you con-sider yourself, you must watch your bigotry, because when in a liberal environment, it is the liberals who can be the closed-minded ones. Re-evaluate social movements, because as they currently stand, some are more alien-ating than effective. And if your anonymous advice columnist persona has an email ad-dress, do not sync it with your Gmail, be-cause you might accidentally use it to email professors for three straight weeks.

But as for the best piece of advice I can give after a semester as Duke’s most histor-ically criticized columnist? Learn to take criticism. Nothing is perfect, but we forget that this applies to ourselves and the things we are passionate about. We must accept critique both from people we agree and disagree with, because those who think differently are not necessarily wrong. Not every statement against your personal be-lief is an affront to your humanness and character. And most of all, quit taking yourselves so seriously. Because if you con-sider your features and fl aws so signifi cant that you cannot even laugh at them, how can you expect to confront them? To move forward, we must face criticism with digni-ty and understanding—or else, eventually, everything will go to dookie.

With love from above all you b****es,Your Dearest Dookie, Lillie Reed.

Lillie Reed has used the word “pterodactyl” in every single one of her fi nal columns so far. So. Pterodactyl.

Flushing it out

The tragedy in Boston is a heavy weight on the heart of every American. We pray that God

ease the pain felt by the victims of the Boston bombings, their loved ones and all those who have been afflicted with fear and turmoil. We pray that they have the patience to persevere.

Humans are most united in times of misfortune when un-explainable acts of evil call for solidar-ity. Such unity is found in inspirational “We are Boston” posters all around the world. American Muslims share in this unity, but there remains unwarranted concern implicating Muslims and Islam as the cause of these atrocious acts. As Muslims, our individual responses ulti-mately focused on the same fears: How do we express our empathy to the vic-tims without appearing apologetic or reinforcing imposed collective guilt? In response to these issues, the follow-ing are reflections of some American Muslim students at Duke.

—Human nature teaches us that vi-olence is wrong. Yet when tragedies of mass violence strike, we find ourselves looking for answers as to how a fellow human could have committed such evil. In search of these answers, it is unfor-tunate that our society often draws the connection to Islam. Islam has played a fundamental role in how I treat my fel-low humans. Islam humbles me in my mortality and reminds me that life is too short to bring people down. Islam teaches me to help and support others as I can. It is this message that I hope I can leave you with as a fellow Dukie, Muslim and human.

—After seeing the atrocities in the news, I thought to myself, “I hope they weren’t Muslim. ...” We know that Is-lam does not condone [the perpetra-tors’] behavior, but it is difficult to know how defensive we should be, if at all. If we keep quiet, people may as-sume that Islam is to blame. If we con-stantly defend ourselves, it seems like we’re trying too hard to cover up some dirty little secret. Some of us are ex-hausted. Exhausted from seeing Mus-lim names associated with attacks in the news, exhausted from explaining that those few people are completely misconstruing the peaceful religion of Islam. They use false justifications and turn our beautiful faith into a mon-ster. The conversation among Muslims continues to emphasize using our ac-tions to show how both America and the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) teach us to be kind and caring to our fellow human beings.

—In the chaos of last week’s events, fear spread: fear for the victims and their families, fear of suspects on the loose and fear of the aftermath. Emo-

tions are understandably high, but these emotions should not lead us to target a certain group of people based on the actions of a few. One such in-

cident is of a Saudi stu-dent attending the Bos-ton Marathon. As people were running in fear away from the bombings, he was unfairly identi-fied as a suspect. He was

tackled, arrested and questioned for 24 hours after instinctively running from danger. Countless other Ameri-cans, Muslim and not, are affected by the consequences of Islamophobia and the mental dichotomy between being American and being Muslim that it in-duces. Not only does it create fear of discrimination in the heart of Muslims, but it also creates an understandable fear of Muslims for those coping with the aftermath of the tragedy.

—Since 9/11, American Muslims are more fearful and anxious of attacks on our beloved nation. We are forced to balance defending our faith and de-fending our country—two things that are not mutually exclusive. Islam is, as most at Duke have come to know, a religion of peace. Unfortunately, to most Americans, Islam spreads hatred and violence and propagates terrorists. This isn’t Islam. Muslims are taught that love and compassion are exem-plary traits. Islam condemns destruc-tion and murder. How do we convey that our hearts ache with the rest of America? Whether or not the perpe-trators of a violent act are Muslim, I am angry at them just as everyone else is. I hope that if, in the future, there is, God forbid, another attack, people won’t be so quick to blame Muslims for the incident. And, even if the attacker is a Muslim, I pray that people will un-derstand that Islam doesn’t equal ter-rorism and that all Muslims cannot be blamed for the acts of a few.

At first we were uncertain about how to respond, but Duke students re-sponded admirably by not connecting Islam to the horrendous acts. One of the most inspirational responses was a meme posted on Facebook by a fel-low non-Muslim Duke student: “Keep Calm and Resist Islamophobia.” It had over 100 shares. Our hope is that in this collective American unity, every person can come together to support those suffering in Boston and else-where around the world.

Duke wins ACC title in landslide McCallie receives extension

Cunha caps off undefeated campaign

by Michael SchreinerTHE CHRONICLE

Overcoming firm greens and swirling winds, the Blue Devils closed out the ACC Championships in style Sunday, capturing the conference title for the 18th time in school history.

No. 3 Duke posted daily totals of 293, 292 and 297 en route to a 24-stroke victory at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. The victory—the team’s first of the year—fea-tured top-10 individual finishes from four of the five Blue Devils.

“I think what’s important—maybe even more important than the fact that we won—was the fact that we won by 24 strokes,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “We needed to play well because we have our sights set on big things. We needed to play well enough to win by a big margin to know that we are playing at the level we are capable of.”

The team entered Sunday with an 11-shot lead, which it managed to stretch through-out the day despite firmer conditions on and around the greens. Rain Friday night resulted in softer greens for Saturday’s round, but drier and windier conditions led to Sunday’s quicker and harder greens.

Junior Laetitia Beck and senior Lindy Dun-can found themselves in contention Sunday before their hopes for an individual title were dashed by double bogeys on the 15th and SEE W. GOLF ON PAGE 4

COURTESY OF GODUKE

Duke captured its 18th ACC title with a commanding victory, winning the tournament by 24 strokes.

by Andrew BeatonTHE CHRONICLE

This season, Joanne P. McCallie won two of the three “championships”: ACC regular season and ACC Tournament titles.

But the third, a national champion-ship banner, has eluded her during her six seasons at Duke. After signing a contract extension last week that will keep her in Durham through the 2018-19 season, Mc-Callie said reaching that ultimate plateau remains the goal.

The Blue Devils have reached four con-secutive Elite Eights but have yet to make a Final Four with McCallie.

“It’s a little bit of a falsehood to act like the Final Four is the place to be,” McCal-lie said. “You want to say you’re pursuing championships and want to bring a nation-al championship home to Duke. I don’t have any interest in going to a Final Four and not getting it done.”

With a 33-3 record this season—and two of those losses coming after a season-ending injury to star point guard Chelsea Gray—McCallie improved her record to 174-35 at Duke. The Blue Devils won the ACC Tournament in March for the third time in the last four years and have claimed at least a share of the regular-season title in each of those years. They won the confer-ence outright this year with a 17-1 regular-season record.

The season ended with a loss to Notre Dame in the Elite Eight.

McCallie’s signature for success has been annually bringing in one of the na-tion’s top recruiting classes. All four classes on next year’s team include at least one top-10 recruit, according to ESPN.

The rising senior class has five play-ers in the top 100 while the incoming freshman class features three players in the top 12, in addition to No. 32 Kianna Holland.

McCallie, though, said she “is not a big rankings person” and narrows down the crop of top players to a select few whose character fits the Duke brand both on and off the court.

“Academics have to be important to the kids we recruit. I’ve had kids tell me, ‘Academics aren’t important to me,’ and I tell them, ‘Well, then you don’t belong at Duke,’” McCallie said. “At the bigger schools, they’re recruiting everybody. I feel very fortunate that we have a smaller, very high-quality pool.”

Athletic director Kevin White cited the basketball players’ successes athletically and academically in a statement announc-ing McCallie’s extension Friday.

“With her extraordinary winning per-centage, coupled with outstanding gradua-tion rates and academic success, we are ex-tremely proud to have an elite coach such as Joanne firmly established as the leader

An enthusiastic crowd packed the seats of Ambler Tennis Stadium Sunday to cel-ebrate Henrique Cunha, the team’s only graduating senior, as the Blue Devils took on N.C. State.

He did not disappoint. By cruising to a 6-1, 6-0 victory against the Wolfpacks’ Robbie Mudge in what head coach Ramsey Smith

called “one of the best singles match-es of his career,” Cunha wrapped up his final season of collegiate tennis

with a perfect 16-0 record in dual matches and led No. 10 Duke (21-4, 9-1 in the ACC) to a 7-0 victory.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sea-son,” Cunha said. “It’s just unbelievable.”

A native of Jau, Brazil, Cunha entered Sunday’s contest with 144 singles victories in his career and will leave Duke as the most decorated player in program’s 108-year history.

“Each year the team has gotten better, and that’s not a coincidence,” Smith said. “It’s because the guys are following his lead and he’s set such a high standard.”

Cunha’s silent yet commanding pres-ence has been a guiding force for the Blue Devils, setting an example for his team-mates and leading the squad to an unde-feated season at home.

“He’s just the whole package,” Smith said. “He wins, he wins the right way, he’s

a good sport and a great representative of the University. He’s a great teammate, a great leader and stays extremely humble.”

All three doubles courts faced aggressive net players against N.C. State (13-9, 6-4), but a combination of high lobs and strate-gic passing shots allowed the Blue Devils to neutralize the attacks of larger opponents, keeping the points evenly matched.

Cunha, alongside doubles partner Ra-phael Hemmeler, took on the No. 12 dou-

bles team in Sean Weber and Dave Thomp-son of N.C. State. At first, Duke struggled to put the ball past a 6-foot-4 Weber at the net, going down a break early. But as the Cunha and Hemmeler began to settle into their strokes, they attacked the net and managed to keep the ball deep and their opponents subdued at the baseline, win-ning three straight games and taking an

Top-ranked Tar Heels sweep Blue Devilsby Danielle Lazarus

THE CHRONICLE

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.—After winning two series against ranked ACC opponents this season, Duke traveled down Tobacco Road to face its archrival, No. 1 North Carolina. The Tar Heels, however, lived up to their top rank-ing and swept the Blue Devils in a three-game weekend series.

Fueled by its starting pitching, North Caro-lina allowed Duke (22-20, 8-13 in the ACC) just three runs in the series, defeating the Blue Devils 7-1, 4-1 and 10-1 at Boshamer Stadium.

“They’re the number one team in the country and they played like it,” Duke head coach Chris Pollard said. “We’re obviously disappointed and our confidence is shaken, but that’s what the ACC will do to you.”

After a thun-derstorm Friday postponed game one, junior Drew Van Orden (2-5) was on the mound Sat-urday to start the doubleheader against the Tar Heels (39-2, 18-2) instead of sophomore Trent Swart. Swart has started the opening game of every other ACC series this season.

“It’s hard when you have a doubleheader to pitch the second ballgame, because you have to sit around and watch that first ballgame un-fold,” Pollard said. “My feeling has always been when you’re in a doubleheader like that and you have the choice, you start your best guy in the second game.”

Despite throwing six innings of one-run ball against then-No. 15 Georgia Tech two weeks ago, Van Orden’s outing was reminis-cent of his performance last week against No.

6 Florida State, when he gave up seven runs in seven innings. The right-hander relinquished six runs —five earned—over 5.2 innings of work against North Carolina, but what hurt the Blue Devils the most were the free passes he gave to the Tar Heels. Van Orden surren-dered three walks, a balk, threw a wild pitch and hit four different North Carolina players.

“Against really good teams, and North Car-olina is a really good team, you can’t do that to yourself,” Pollard said.

The Tar Heels capitalized on Duke’s pitch-ing miscues. North Carolina plated two runs in the first inning after Van Orden hit short-stop Michael Russell with a pitch with the bas-es loaded to score center fielder Chaz Frank. One pitch later, third baseman Colin Moran scored from third on a wild pitch. In the fourth inning, catcher Matt Roberts gave the Tar Heels a 3-0 lead after scoring from third on a passed ball, and in the fifth Russell was hit by a pitch for the second time and later scored on a Parks Jordan sacrifice fly.

Swart (4-3) appeared to be more settled than his teammate in game two, giving up only three runs—two earned—in six in-nings. North Carolina got to Swart early, with Frank, designated hitter Landon Las-siter and Moran loading the bases with no outs off a double, single and hit by pitch respectively. Swart induced back-to-back groundouts but Frank and Lassiter crossed the plate to give the Tar Heels an early 2-0 lead. North Carolina never looked back and tacked on two more runs to win 4-1.

“Trent pitched well enough to win the ball-game,” Pollard said. “We needed to execute better offensively.”

Although Duke came closer to winning in game two, game three was the most lopsided of the series in favor of North Carolina, which crushed the Blue Devils 10-1. The Tar Heels once again got an early first-inning lead when

right fielder Brian Holberton smacked a three-run home run to right field. Blue Devil starter Robert Huber (5-4) rebounded in the second with a scoreless inning, but gave up four more runs before a fifth-inning exit.

“One of the things we need to fix is that we find ourselves playing out of the hole a lot,” Pollard said. “When you have a team like that who scores two or three runs in the first, you find yourself playing catchup the whole game.”

Duke third baseman Jordan Betts was the lone offensive bright spot, notching a hit in each game of the series. Betts provided the only offense for the Blue Devils in games one and two with a solo home run in each.

North Carolina’s stellar pitching limited Duke to only three runs in the entire series. The Tar Heels’ starting trio of Kent Em-manuel (8-1), Benton Moss (7-0) and Hobbs Johnson (2-0) is among the best rotations in the country, with each pitcher posting an ERA below 3.00.

“Carolina, the way they pitch, they make a lot of teams look bad offensively,” Pollard said. “And then you play [Florida State and North Carolina] back-to-back, it beats you up a little bit. We have to learn from the things we didn’t do well… and the good thing about baseball is that there’s not a lot of time to dwell on what happened. You just have to do a good job of regrouping.”

Hommel and Trimble lead Duke past Ohio Stateby Nick Martin

THE CHRONICLE

After dropping three of its previous four contests, No. 9 Duke needed a strong win to build some momentum before heading into the ACC Tournament. The Blue Dev-ils managed just that Saturday afternoon against Ohio State.

Led by senior Makenzie Hommel, Duke (11-4) pulled away late in the first half to cruise to a 15-9 victory against the Buckeyes.

“As a unit, coming off three away games with two of them being a loss, I think this was a chance for us to gain our momentum back,” Hommel said.

Hommel paced the Blue Devil offense, notching a career-high five goals against the Buckeyes. It was her first half perfor-mance that set the tone for the game.

The senior matched the entire Ohio State (6-8) offense in the first half with three goals of her own.

Duke jumped out to the early lead, with freshman Kelci Smesko putting the Blue Devils ahead only 1:09 into the game.

The Buckeyes were not held scoreless for long. Mary Kate Facchina scored on a free position shot to knot the score at one apiece. The senior played alongside her sister Cara, who also notched a goal in the opening half.

Following Facchina’s goal, Hommel decided it was time to step up and the

senior did just that, scoring the next two goals for Duke.

After going goal-for-goal with the Buckeyes, Duke went on a tear in the last five minutes of the first half. With their lead whittled down to one following a goal from Cara Facchina, the Blue Devils reeled off three goals in two minutes.

The final goal of the half came off an assist from sophomore Kerrin Maurer and gave Hommel her 40th goal of the season.

Both teams entered Saturday’s contest averaging 26.5 shots per contest, but tight defense by both held them in check early on, with Ohio State and Duke taking nine and 10 shots, respectively.

Even though they only took 10 shots, the Blue Devils were efficient in the first half, with eight of those shots being on goal. Seven of those shots-on-goal found the back of the net. It was the exceptional play of the Buckeyes’ Facchina sisters that kept Ohio State in the game, scoring two of their three first half goals.

Hommel took advantage of the Buck-eyes’ aggressive defense, maneuvering past defenders to open lanes for herself. On the other end of the field, Duke made sure to close these kinds of gaps, denying any easy cuts to the goal for Ohio State.

“We were able to spread it out wide and draw the defense out so it was easier to create lanes and the defense was slid-ing and our players were getting open,”

Wolf nets five, Blue Devils down Rutgersby Lopa Rahman

THE CHRONICLE

In Duke’s final contest before the ACC Tournament, the team’s ninth consecutive victory was accompanied by a slew of personal milestones.

The No. 7 Blue Devils (11-4) cruised past Rutgers 16-7 Saturday at Yurcak Field in New Brunswick, N.J.

Junior Jordan Wolf, who led all scorers with five tallies, became the 15th Blue Devil to notch 100 career goals. Class-

mate Brendan Fowler scooped up eight ground balls, typing CJ Costa-bile’s single-season record of 144. With two tallies apiece, freshman Deemer Class and senior Greg De-

Luca recorded the first multiple-goal games of their careers. Class was not the only freshman to earn points in

Saturday’s contest. Myles Jones added two goals, and Case Matheis notched four assists on the evening.

“We got some terrific contributions from our freshmen,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “We’re really happy with the play of our freshmen.”

Fowler posted a dominant performance at the faceoff X, winning 16-of-22 faceoffs against Rutgers sophomore Joseph Nardella, who entered the game ranked third nationally in fa-ceoff percentage. The Scarlet Knights (2-12) are the first team on Duke’s schedule with a better faceoff man than Fowler. The junior came into the contest ranked fourth in the country.

Between the pipes, Rutgers freshman Kris Alleyne made 20 saves, and Duke’s goalkeepers combined for eight. The Scarlet Knights’ rookie goaltender stopped 55.6 percent of the Blue Devils’ shots on goal, but Duke’s high-scoring of-fense proved too difficult for Rutgers’ defense to overcome.

The Blue Devil defense, on the other hand, caused 10 turnovers and limited Rutgers to eight shots on goal

in the opening half.“Defensively, there was a much better focus,”

Danowski said. “We communicated better. We got orga-nized underneath the ball and played well as a unit.”

After trading goals with Rutgers to start the game, Duke went on a 4-0 run powered by two tallies from Class. The Blue Devils held the Scarlet Knights score-less for 10:49 before Rutgers junior Benjamin Schwing ended the drought early in the second quarter. The Scarlet Knights found the back of the net just one more time in the period, but Duke tallied four more goals, building a 9-3 halftime advantage. Wolf scored two of the Blue Devils’ second-quarter goals.

Duke rattled off five consecutive tallies—including two from Jones—in the third period before Rutgers sophomore Rich Rambo ended the Blue Devil run. Wolf opened the final quarter with a pair of goals that extended Duke’s lead to 16-4. The Scarlet Knights scored the final three goals of the game, but their late push wasn’t enough to edge the Blue Devils.

“At the end of April, what you’re always looking for regardless of who you are playing next is: ‘Are you play-ing the right way? Are you learning the lessons from the games before and carrying them forward?’” Danowski said. “This week we did that.”

Duke hopes to continue on that track when it begins postseason play next weekend at the ACC Tournament in Chapel Hill, N.C. The third-seeded Blue Devils, who defeated North Carolina 10-8 during the regular sea-son, will take on the second-seeded Tar Heels in the semifinal round of the tournament Friday. With its ninth straight victory in the books, Duke is entering the postseason with the longest active winning streak in Division I.

Duke has endured a difficult six-match stretch since the loss of Ester Goldfeld to a hand injury, leaving the team to compete with only five players.

The No. 11 Blue Devils continued their recent strug-gles, falling 4-3 to Maryland Friday at the Cole Tennis Courts, giving the Terrapins their first conference win of the season. After having to forfeit both a doubles and a singles match, the Blue Devils (14-8, 5-5 in the ACC) were at a disadvantage before play even began.

With the match tied at 3-3, the final point came down to court one, where junior Hanna Mar and Vroni Van Berlo fought it out in an exhausting three-setter. After dropping the first set 6-1, Mar rallied to a second set victory to send the match into the third and final set. Mar broke serve for a 4-3 lead and held to go up 5-3, but dropped four straight games to give Van Berlo the third set, 7-5, and Maryland (6-15, 1-10) the match.

“This was by far the toughest loss we’ve had,” head coach Ja-mie Ashworth said. “We can’t let a team like Maryland just hang around, and that’s what we did.”

Duke fell into a deep hole to start the match. Af-ter forfeiting the final position on the singles ladder and the third doubles slot, the Blue Devils dropped the doubles point to Maryland. On court one, the doubles team of senior captain Mary Clayton and Mar were tied with the Terrapins’ Van Berlo and Sarah Gealer 4-4, but were unable to hold serve and fell behind 7-5 be-fore dropping the final game and giving Maryland the doubles point.

“In losing the doubles point, we gave them a little bit of confidence,” Ashworth said. “They started to be-lieve that they could win and we started to get a little bit tight.”

In singles, the Blue Devils got off to a strong start. Sophomore Annie Mulholland demolished the Terra-pins’ Olga Gaistruk 6-1, 6-1 on court three, putting the first point on the board for the Blue Devils.

Junior Marianne Jodoin soon followed with a 6-0, 6-1 vic-tory against Nataliya Bredikhina, tying the match at 2-2.

On court five, senior Nicole Lipp was unable to slow Gabriela Srodowski, dropping a hard-fought first set

6-4, followed by a quick 6-1 second set.Clayton claimed her 29th-career ACC singles victory

after defeating Sarah Gealer 7-5, 6-1. The senior’s vic-tory knotted the match at three before Mar fell and Duke suffered its third consecutive loss.

As the Blue Devils prepare for the upcoming ACC Tournament, Ashworth maintains that the team’s ex-

pectations have not changed and is confident that the girls will continue to persevere despite the situation.

“It’s been such a roller coaster,” Ashworth said. “This has been a season like I’ve never had here, but our girls are tougher because of it and I hope that they can look back and know that they’ve given all that they can dur-ing this regular season.”

of the Duke women’s basketball program,” White said.

McCallie said she and White first began talking informally about an extension last spring and hammered out the details once this season ended. Financial terms were not disclosed.

McCallie said her relationship with White and his ability to lead Duke’s ath-letic department is a big reason why she is so committed to the University in the long run.

“He’s on the pulse with everything that’s going on,” she said. “He’s pretty incredible with his knowledge of the national scene, markets and what’s going on in women’s

basketball.”McCallie added that her family has

grown extremely fond of Durham. When she moved from Michigan State to Duke in 2007, it was difficult on her then-13-year-old daughter Maddie. Now, McCallie’s son Jack is 13.

“From a family perspective, we feel so for-tunate we can be at Duke,” McCallie said.

And now entrenched for at least five more seasons in Durham, McCallie hopes to bring home Duke’s first wom-en’s basketball championship banner to Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“We’ve never met all of our goals since we’ve been here but in the process we’ve ac-complished a great deal,” she said. “Some-day it would be nice to go three for three.”

lot of mistakes.”After putting up an even-par 71 to finish

Saturday just three strokes off Altomore’s lead, Duncan went six-over for her last 15 holes to finish with a 77 that left her tied for third at eight-over-par.

“Lindy is going to play to win, and she is never going to be happy if she doesn’t win,” Brooks said. “It was really tough to make up ground out there.”

Duncan’s chances for an individual title all but ended on the par-4 11th hole, when her ap-proach landed 20 feet short of the flag before bouncing off the firm green, rolling off the back and coming to rest out of bounds. Dun-can also had trouble putting on the course’s Bermuda greens, which she described as be-ing a different speed all three days.

Junior Alejandra Congrejo birdied two of her final five holes to go one-under on the back nine, but never had a legitimate shot at the title. She finished tied with Duncan for third overall. Freshman Celine Boutier fin-ished six strokes back with a 223 that left her tied for sixth.

“I had a feeling we’d win, to be honest, so my mind today was on how we well were finish-ing up. How strong are we? How patient are we on the last five holes? Are we staying tough? And I was very pleased,” Brooks said.

The Blue Devils will now have a three-week break before they compete in the NCAA Re-gional Championship May 9.

8-5 victory. “I was a little bit nervous today because of

senior day,” Hemmeler said. “But it’s just so much fun with him on the court because we are also close friends off the court.”

On court three, juniors Fred Saba and Chris Mengel took on Beck Bond and Aus-tin Powell, staying on serve until a powerful overhead smash by Saba secured the first break of the match, giving the Blue Devils a 6-4 lead. The pair then went on to clinch the doubles point with an 8-5 win.

Duke will be the No. 2 seed in next week’s ACC Tournament. The Blue Devils will face either No. 7 seed Florida State or 10th-seed-ed Georgia Tech Friday in Cary, N.C.

Hommel said.Both squads opened the second half

looking to attack, and did so successfully, scoring three goals apiece in the first 10 minutes.

But the defense set in after the 20-minute mark. With the exception of a Blue Devil goal by Maddy Morrissey with 18:16 left, Duke and Ohio State re-mained scoreless for nearly 11 minutes.

Katie Chase brought the Buckeyes within five with just less than 10 minutes to play. Unfortunately for Ohio State, this would be the last time it came close to mounting a comeback. The Blue Dev-ils went on to score three straight goals to put the game out of reach and secure the victory.

Duke was able to do so after it turned up its defensive intensity, not allowing Ohio State a clean look at the goal for the majority of the final 20 minutes, ex-cluding a free position shot by Alli Daw-son with 1:10 remaining and the game already decided.

“They play a very, very different style than what we’re accustomed to playing,” Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “We did a great job of denying their cuts.”

Cara Facchina closed the game with a goal with 22 seconds remaining, bring-ing the sisters’ total to three on the day.

Moving forward, Duke will face No. 5 seed Virginia Thursday to kick off its ACC Tournament play.

“Next weekend is a big test at the ACC Tournament,” Kimel said. “We’re going to have to play really well against a very good Virginia team who’s going to be desperate for a win.”

If the Blue Devils can defeat the Cava-liers on Thursday, they will prepare for a rematch against top-ranked Maryland. But Kimel maintained that her team will take things slow and focus on a Virginia team that is looking to avenge an early season loss to Duke.

“There’s so much of the season that’s got to be played, there’s so many big games left,” Kimel said. “For us, we have really tried this whole season to just take this one game at a time. I think as a young team you have to do that.”
