New Year’s renovationsUni. looks to hold early admits near 50 percent of class

Emma Baccellieri News Editor

A decade ago, a little more than a quarter of Duke students were admitted via early decision.

Now, that figure has nearly doubled—with the Uni-versity filling almost half of its incoming class through early decision. But although the number of students admitted early has increased steadily in recent years, it may have reached a plateau for the time being.

“There’s something psychological about the 50 percent mark,” Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag said. “I don’t have as a goal hit-ting 50 percent.... I like, in general, the idea of having over half of the class available to students who are ap-plying regular decision.”

In December, the University admitted 815 students early—meaning that a record 48 percent of the Class of 2019 will come from early decision. This breaks the record set by the Class of 2018, with 47 percent admitted early.

These numbers are a notable change from those posted a decade ago, when the University’s propor-tion of early admits fluctuated between 25 and 30 percent. Even as peer schools such as the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago began to admit increasing numbers of students early, Duke maintained that it would not change its policy.

“In limiting the size of the entering groups, we are

Students solve ‘murder’ at Winter ForumStudents learn about criminal justice system

through hypothetical murder of administrator


See Winter on Page 4

While most students spent their last days of winter break pre-paring for classes or moving back to campus, about 100 students chose a different path—investigating a murder.

This year’s Winter Forum took a hands-on approach, giving students the opportunity to learn about science and ethics in the criminal justice system through working on a hypothetical case—the “murder” of Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education. The three-day forum, titled “To Catch a Killer: Investigating the Brain,” tied together philoso-phy, law, ethics and neuroscience.

“It’s a day of profoundly mixed emotions for me,” President Richard Brodhead quipped during his address to the forum Tuesday. “Happy, because I’m so proud to be part of a university where students are so driven to learn…. And less happy, because we had to pay the high price of the death of my beloved col-league Steve Nowicki.”

The interdisciplinary nature of the subject required bringing together faculty experts from across the University. Faculty hosts Nita Farahany, professor of law and philosophy; Scott Huetell, the Jerry and Patricia Hubbard professor of psychology and

neuroscience; and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Chauncey Still-man professor of practical ethics, worked for more than a year to plan the program.

“The combination of our perspectives brought together something unique for the students,” said Farahany, who also serves as the director of the Duke Science and Society initiative.

Bringing such a variety of disciplines into the conversation was designed to give students a more thorough understanding of gray areas in criminal justice—the limitations of science in understanding a crime scene, the ethical questions raised by new technologies and the ways in which all of these intersect, Farahany noted.

Students saw the “crime scene” at the start of the forum, and days of guest speakers and lectures gave them the practical foun-dation they needed to solve Nowicki’s “murder.”

Among the guest speakers were Ronald Cotton and Jennifer Thompson. Cotton was falsely imprisoned for 11 years for the rape of Thompson before being found innocent through DNA testing. The two have since written a book together and give talks on judicial reform, the fallibility of eyewitness testimony, and forgiveness.

“Learning about he was able to forgive and they were able to turn this tragedy into something so powerful and meaningful was really interesting,” senior Ernst Casimir said, adding that he appreciated the chance to speak one-on-one with Cotton. “That isn’t something I get to experience regularly in the classroom.”

Mourning Vincent DavisThe Duke community mourned the loss of bus driver

Vincent Davis after he was killed in a crash at the intersec-tion of Erwin and Morreene roads Dec. 22.

“This was as horrific as an accident could be, and we’re still working our way through supporting both the family and the coworkers within Parking and Transportation,” said Vice President of Administration Kyle Cavanaugh in an earlier interview with The Chronicle.

Davis, 52, was driving a Duke passenger van at the in-tersection when Jacob Samuels, 18, ran a red light and struck the van. The van flipped onto its side, and Davis was pronounced dead at the scene.

He had worked at Duke for nearly two years.Samuels has been charged with running a red light

and death by vehicle. He was taken to Duke Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

“When a death does occur, there is a structured set of resources and benefits that are made available to both the family as well as to the coworkers, and we’re doing all that we can to support and expedite that,” Cavanaugh said.

Davis’ funeral was held this weekend.“Any time that we lose a member of our community, it

is a time of enormous grief,” Cavanaugh said. “We ask ev-eryone in the Duke community during this holiday season to keep Vincent’s family in their thoughts and prayers.”

Danielle Muoio | Chronicle File PhotoOne month after its grand opening ceremonies, DKU was named a Research Hub for health policy and system research.

Health Research Center at DKU.“Having the research hub at DKU will provide us with

an excellent opportunity to generate new knowledge for strengthening health systems in Asian and Pacific coun-tries, thus improving the health of the people in the re-gion,” Tang said in a press release from DGHI.

One of the main goals of the research hub will be to “create a body of knowledge and evidence on health sys-tems in the Asia Pacific region, comparable across coun-tries, through collection and analysis of information and research evidence on health care policies and reforms,”

the release explains.Additionally, the hub will facilitate discussions be-

tween parties with interest in health care in the region in order to assess possible weaknesses. These interested parties include member of the government, NGOs and academia.

This announcement—which was released by DGHI on Dec. 20, 2014, comes just a month following DKU’s grand opening ceremonies in November.

Looking ahead for another year

Want to know what to look out for as Duke enters the new

year? Take a look below.


A new dean for TrinityBy the end of the Spring, the Trinity College of

Arts and Sciences will know who its new dean will be. In her fourth year at the helm of the school, Laurie Patton announced this Fall that she would leave the position after the 2014-15 academic year to become the president of Middlebury College in Ver-mont. With a search com-mittee of faculty and admin-istrators working on finding her successor, a decision should be made before the Spring semester ends. The new dean will see Trinity through its most significant curriculum update in more than a decade—the “big tweak” of the current Curriculum 2000, intended to make the curriculum more applicable in an environment where interdisciplinary learning is more impor-tant and experiences outside of the traditional classroom are becoming more common. Trinity’s finances will also likely be an area of particular fo-cus for the new dean, as the school is currently in the green for the first time after several years in the red following the financial downturn.

Laurie Patton

A successor for Victor DzauAfter a decade as the CEO and presi-

dent of Duke University Health System and chancellor for health affairs, Dr. Vic-tor Dzau stepped down in the summer of 2014. As Duke searches for a replacement, the job has been split between Dr. Nancy Andrews, dean of the School of Medicine and vice chancellor for academic affairs, and Dr. William Fulkerson, executive vice president of DUHS. But a successor for Dzau is on the horizon—an announcement should be made sometime in early 2015. A search committee has narrowed the pool of candidates from an ini-tial group of more than 250 people, University Secretary Richard Rid-dell, an ex officio mem-ber of the committee, told The Chronicle in December. Though an announcement should be made relatively soon, it is possible that the new chancellor may not assume the role until the summer, if he or she is unable to come to Duke immediately, Riddell noted. The position requires the individual in question be able to govern DUHS both as a hospital and research center, paying particular at-tention to ensuring that the health system is adaptable to changes in the healthcare industry brought on by diminishing federal research funding and the Affordable Care Act, among other factors.

Strategic planningEight years after the University launched

its last strategic plan, Duke kicked off “pre-planning” for a new edition in 2014. This Spring will see continued work toward de-veloping general themes and a structure, and the Fall will see the beginning of the ac-tual planning process. Overseen by Provost Sally Kornbluth in her first year on the job, the new strategic plan is set to be complet-

ed by Spring 2016 and will set Duke’s goals for advancing educationally, physically and otherwise in the years to follow. Kornbluth has said the strategic plan will center on aca-demics—working with Duke’s schools, cen-ters and institutes. Exactly how area such as student affairs, admissions and athletics will be incorporated is yet to be decided.

Philip Catterall | Chronicle File PhotoProvost Sally Kornbluth introduced students to the University’s strategic plan at a Duke Stu-dent Government Senate meeting Sept. 24, 2014.

in the minority among selective colleges,” Guttentag told The Chronicle in 2002, noting that Duke aimed to keep its percentage of early admits at or under 30 percent.

But as the University received more and more early applicants throughout the mid 2000s, the strength of the applicant pool increased, Guttentag said—and Duke admitted more of its class early, breaking the 35 percent mark with the Class of 2014 and the 40 per-cent mark with the Class of 2017.

In the years to come, though, the proportion of students admitted early may hold steady. Although the University values early decision students for their dedication to the school, Duke does not necessarily want more than half of its classes to be admitted early, Guttentag noted.

“I’m pretty comfortable with where we are—if things don’t change dramatically, we’ll stay roughly

ADMISSIONScontinued from page 1

where we are,” Guttentag said in a recent interview. “But if the early decision pool were to expand dra-matically and be dramatically stronger, I’m not going to stop just short of 50 percent just for the sake of doing so.”

The Class of 2019’s proportion of early admits is on par with that of most peer schools with binding early decision programs. Dartmouth College admitted 41 percent of its class early, Northwestern University, 49 percent, and the University of Pennsylvania, 54 per-cent.

A frequent criticism of admitting large proportions of students through binding early decision programs is that applicants in need of financial aid are put in an unfair position. For students who will need to com-pare financial aid packages from different schools to maximize their aid, applying early often is not a pos-sibility—something that Duke recognizes, Guttentag said.

“The regular decision pool is always going to be economically more diverse than the early decision pool,” Guttentag said. “However, from my perspective

in the end what matters is what the entering class as a whole is like.... We’re definitely aware of the eco-nomic difference between early decision and regular decision, and that’s one of the reasons why—unless things are dramatically different—I don’t think we’ll get much higher [in early admits.]”

The Class of 2019 represents not only a new record for proportion of early admits, however—it also is the first year that applicants have an optional essay ques-tion where they can share information about what makes them unique and how they can contribute to the diversity of the class.

From the early applications, the admissions office feels the new question is a success, Guttentag said. Nearly all students wrote a response.

“Some students who answer it seem to be stretch-ing to find something to say, but for the most part it’s a wonderful opportunity to learn a little more about applicants that otherwise wouldn’t come through,” Guttentag said. “We were hoping that would happen, that students would talk about their own perspectives, their points of view, their culture in that question.”

Sue Wasiolek, dean of students, attended the forum for the first time this year and said she was impressed by the students’ excitement to devote the end of their winter break to the work.

“I’m most impressed by the preparation of the faculty—the level of detail—and the overall level of interest and engagement by the students,” Wasiolek said.

“To Catch a Killer” marked the sixth year the Winter Forum has been held and student interest remained consistent with years past, with about 100 participants, Nowicki said. The inter-disciplinary nature of this year’s forum required several hosts—Duke Science and Society, the Kenan Institute of Ethics, Bass Connections, the School of Law and the Office of Undergradu-ate Education.

And as for Nowicki’s favorite part of the forum?“Being carried out in a body bag,” Nowicki said, reaching for

his cell phone to share a photograph. “That was an experience I really enjoyed.”

Emma Baccellieri | The ChroniclePresident Brodhead addressed the annual Winter Forum Tuesday, proclaiming that he was “proud to be part of a uni-versity were students are so driven to learn.”

This course will survey several issues displaying different forms or policy responses in various geographical regions and cultures. Examples include: competition over energy resources, design of international organization, trends of human migration, privatization of security, and patterns of economic inequality. An interdisciplinary approach with attention to political, economic and social patterns.

This course has at its center in-depth analysis of a global health issue where students work in groups of between 3 and 4 persons to 1) put together a timeline of the birth to present life-course of an assigned global health topic, 2) track their topic stakeholders in real-time by following their Twitter streams, and 3) critically evaluate global progress towards stated goals in these topic areas and how much we should trust the data that is being provided. The in-class group projects will be supplemented with interactive case studies and debates, readings that help develop skills to critically analyze whether global health is worth intervening in or not and how we should do it, and in-class panels and/or Skype discussions with practitioners in the field that will help students get a picture of the career options available to them in development.

Since the late 1970s, the United States has seen an increase in economic inequality that—coupled with disparities in terms of gender, race, social class, and other factors—has had important outcomes for the nation’s political landscape. Placing an emphasis on how lawmakers use public policy to address the challenge of disparity, this course examines the nature of inequality in the United States, the social and political factors that shape it, and the impact that it has on American democracy.

This is meant as a survey course for students interested in learning about the major issues in international relations between industrialized and developing countries. The goal of this course is to lay out the issues that define relations between rich and poor countries and to assess how these have changed over time. Topics include trade, foreign aid, peacekeeping, military interventions, migration, disease, trafficking, natural resources, climate change and others.

DUHS implements influenza precautionsFollowing a high rate of reported flu

patients in Durham and the surrounding areas, the Duke University Health System announced Dec. 30, 2014 that it was put-ting extra precautions in place to limit the spread of the influenza virus.

The announced restrictions are similar to those put in place in pervious years, in-cluding from Dec. 30, 2013 to Feb. 28 of last year. The rate of influenza infection will continue to be measured and the re-strictions will be lifted when they are no longer deemed a concerning rate.

According to a press release from Duke Medicine, during this period, visitors to hospital will be limited to immediate fam-ily or designated caregivers. Visitors may

not be displaying a fever, cough or other flu-like symptoms and must be 18 years old or older.

The restrictions have been put in place at Duke University Hospital, Duke Region-al Hospital and Duke Raleigh Hospital, as well as the Duke Ambulatory Surgical Cen-ter and the James E. Davis Ambulatory Sur-gical Center.

Additional precautions include limiting visitors to two per patient at any one time. Those who do visit are urged to frequently and thoroughly wash their hands—includ-ing when entering and leaving the hospital building. The press release that to facili-tate this, foam soap dispensers are avail-able throughout the hospitals.

Where possible, Emergency rooms, ur-gent care centers and clinics will seek op-portunities to physically segregate poten-tial flu patients from those not displaying flu-like symptoms, the release explained.

Construction continuesRenovations, restorations and refurbishments will

continue to be the name of the game for campus in 2015—and students and faculty will begin to reap the benefits of the projects. The current work on the West Union will push forward, with an estimated comple-tion of early 2016, while work will begin on the Cha-pel in the Spring and continue throughout the year. A number of other projects, however, will wrap up before the end of the 2015 calendar year. The first phase of upgrades to Wallace Wade Stadium, which began immediately following the 2014 football sea-son, will be completed in time for the Blue Devils to take the field in August—treating fans to more seat-ing by removing the stadium’s track. Work on a new press box and concourse level will continue through-out 2015, but should be ready before the 2016 season. Meanwhile, Bostock Library will kick off 2015 with the grand opening of “The Edge,” a research space on the first floor, later this month. Rubenstein Li-brary will reopen in Summer 2015 after two and a half years of work, offering a completely revamped space for rare books and manuscripts—and the end of the mulch path that currently leads students through the academic quad to Perkins Library’s side entrance while the main entrance is closed due to the construc-tion. The Bryan Center will also debut a new front en-trance in 2015, following work in the Spring semester. The work on Page Auditorium is additionally sched-uled to wrap up in time for the 2015-16 school year, with new seating and greater accessibility for those with disabilities.

Last season, the Blue Devils played their last ACC road game at Lawrence Joel Coliseum against a hungry Wake Forest team and suffered a stunning

10-point loss—their seventh of the season and a sign of things to come in the NCAA tournament.

The narrative is a little different this time around.

No. 2 Duke will take on the Demon Deacons at Lawrence Joel Coliseum Wednesday at 9 p.m. in its first ACC road game. Although the Blue Devils are once again heavy favorites against Wake Forest, they understand the difficulty of earning road wins in conference play, as they are 1-4 in their past five ACC road openers.

Duke to take on N.C. State

Blue Devils to kick off 2015 in Hawaii Men’s Tennis

Does Hawaii in January sound like a dream? Thanks to the generosity of the Hills family, the Blue Devils are making it a reality—and a work vacation.

No. 12 Duke will take on Louisville and Hawaii in its biennial Hills Hawaii Trip to play in the Hawaii Invitational—also referred to as the Rainbow Warrior Classic. The squad will take on Hawaii Wednesday at 3 p.m. and Louisville Thursday at 3 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time.

The Blue Devils returned to Durham Saturday afternoon before turning around to catch a 6 a.m. flight Sunday for Waikiki, Hawaii. This will be Duke’s third time participating in the tournament, with the trip also taking place in 2011 and 2013.

Head coach Ramsey Smith was quick to point out that the Hills family—the namesake of the trip—is the reason, financially speaking, his Blue Devil squad has the opportunity to make the trip every

two years.“This trip was made possible by one

family—Greg and Jane Hills,” Smith said. “They’re the biggest supporters of Duke tennis and a couple years ago they came up to us and said, ‘We want to provide a really special trip every other year for the team.’ And we went through some options and decided that Hawaii would be a great place.”

With the Hills’ support, Duke will be able to spend five days in Hawaii as a team, a luxury that is not lost on Smith and the Blue Devils. After a break apart, the chance to play outside and get ready for the hectic schedule that awaits Duke when it returns to Durham could work wonders for the team’s chemistry.

“This is a great team-building thing, and that’s why I love doing it in January, at the very beginning of the semester,” Smith said. “It’s nice because [the players] don’t have to work on school, and honestly, it’s great weather and we get a chance to play outdoors. We don’t really get that opportunity in January and the first part of February [in Durham].”

Aside from enjoying the Hawaiian weather—the low temperatures in Waikiki

the next two days are a brisk 63 degrees Wednesday and 69 degrees Thursday—the Blue Devils will use the trip for more than an opportunity to play outdoors.

One of the unique aspects of the tournament lies in the fact that every player on all three teams’ rosters will have a chance to play. Each team match will consist of nine singles and four doubles matches. Typically, only the top six players play singles and three teams play doubles.

“It’s a format where each day we get two rounds of doubles and one round of singles,” Smith said. “There will be an overall winner of singles and an overall winner in doubles. It’s a great time for me to see how hard the guys have worked over break.”

The Blue Devils began practice Sunday afternoon, and spent Monday and Tuesday getting caught up and ridding themselves of jet lag before the competition starts Wednesday.

Duke will look to build on a successful fall campaign, as the continued success of veterans Jason Tahir, Raphael Hemmeler and Bruno Semenzato—paired with the explosion of freshman Nicolas Alvarez—helped to keep the momentum the Blue Devils ended last season with going.

No. 36 Tahir won one match before being eliminated from the ITA National Indoors, a November tournament made up of the nation’s top 32 players. No. 103 Hemmeler and No. 112 Semenzato concluded the fall by advancing all the way to the finals of the Dick Vitale Clay Court Classic, though the meet was called a draw due to inclement

weather.Alvarez also qualified for the ITA

National Indoors, but could not compete due to illness. The Lima, Peru, native had already qualified for nationals by making the quarterfinals of the ITA All-American tournament earlier in the season.

“Nico Alvarez, our freshman, had a really unbelievable freshman fall—qualifying and making the quarterfinals of All-Americans, and semifinals in the regionals,” Smith said. “The other guys that stood out were Jason Tamir, Raphael Hemmler and Bruno Semenzato. All four of those guys really stepped up and won tournaments.”

After his strong fall slate, Alvarez is currently slated as the 18th-best player in the nation, and in Hawaii, he may have a chance to prove himself once again against top-tier competition. Louisville boasts the No. 1 player in the nation in Sebastian Stiefelmeyer—the first player in Cardinal history to own the top spot.

Stiefelmeyer finished the fall with a 17-2 singles record and became the first Louisville player to win the ITA All-American Singles Championship after entering the tournament at No. 110 in the preseason rankings. As the matches played in Hawaii count toward national rankings,

one Duke player will have a chance to knock off the top-ranked preseason player before the thick of season play even begins.

“It’s a fun trip, but these are also matches that count for national ranking,” Smith said. “Louisville has the No. 1 player in the country on their team, so someone’s going to get a shot at playing against the No. 1 player in college.”

Following the Blue Devils’ trip to take on Stiefelmeyer, Louisville and Hawaii, Duke will return home to Durham—where the temperatures will hover in the mid-30s and 40s—to prepare for its 2015 home opener against Michigan State Friday, Jan. 16.

ACC—juniors Codi Miller-McIntyre and Devin Thomas—as it tries to avenge last season’s loss and notch its 14th straight double-digit win to open the season.

“We know the challenge we have ahead of us—the ACC is really a

different animal once you start going on the road,” assistant coach Jon Scheyer said. “[For us] it [all] starts with those two guys.”

The Blue Devils (13-0, 1-0 in the ACC) are hoping that Wednesday’s contest

follows the same script as Saturday’s ACC opener against Boston College. Led by freshman center Jahlil Okafor and a stingy defense, Duke pulled away from the Eagles at the end of the first half and didn’t show any sign of a second-half letdown.

Although the Blue Devil offense—which ranks third in the nation in field goal percentage and fourth in points per game—continued to shine and put up 85 points, the best thing about Saturday’s contest for Duke’s coaches was the team’s defensive intensity.

If the Blue Devils can defend Miller-McIntyre and Thomas—Wake Forest’s only two double-digit scorers—the same way, the Demon Deacons (8-7, 0-2) will have to rely on a bevy of unproven role players to beat Duke exactly like Boston College did.

“We really tried to make [Boston College star guard Olivier] Hanlan’s life difficult,” Scheyer said. “He scored, but it was hard for him. Any great player you play, our goal isn’t to shut him out, it’s to take away the things they do the best.”

Last season, the Blue Devils played their last ACC road game at Lawrence Joel Coliseum against a hungry Wake Forest team and suffered a stunning

10-point loss—their seventh of the season and a sign of things to come in the NCAA tournament.

The narrative is a little different this time around.

No. 2 Duke will take on the Demon Deacons at Lawrence Joel Coliseum Wednesday at 9 p.m. in its first ACC road game. Although the Blue Devils are once again heavy favorites against Wake Forest, they understand the difficulty of earning road wins in conference play, as they are 1-4 in their past five ACC road openers.

In addition to battling an energetic crowd, Duke will have its hands full with two of the better players in the

Duke to take on N.C. State

Blue Devils to kick off 2015 in Hawaii Men’s Tennis

Does Hawaii in January sound like a dream? Thanks to the generosity of the Hills family, the Blue Devils are making it a reality—and a work vacation.

No. 12 Duke will take on Louisville and Hawaii in its biennial Hills Hawaii Trip to play in the Hawaii Invitational—also referred to as the Rainbow Warrior Classic. The squad will take on Hawaii Wednesday at 3 p.m. and Louisville Thursday at 3 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time.

The Blue Devils returned to Durham Saturday afternoon before turning around to catch a 6 a.m. flight Sunday for Waikiki, Hawaii. This will be Duke’s third time participating in the tournament, with the trip also taking place in 2011 and 2013.

Head coach Ramsey Smith was quick to point out that the Hills family—the namesake of the trip—is the reason, financially speaking, his Blue Devil squad has the opportunity to make the trip every

two years.“This trip was made possible by one

family—Greg and Jane Hills,” Smith said. “They’re the biggest supporters of Duke tennis and a couple years ago they came up to us and said, ‘We want to provide a really special trip every other year for the team.’ And we went through some options and decided that Hawaii would be a great place.”

With the Hills’ support, Duke will be able to spend five days in Hawaii as a team, a luxury that is not lost on Smith and the Blue Devils. After a break apart, the chance to play outside and get ready for the hectic schedule that awaits Duke when it returns to Durham could work wonders for the team’s chemistry.

“This is a great team-building thing, and that’s why I love doing it in January, at the very beginning of the semester,” Smith said. “It’s nice because [the players] don’t have to work on school, and honestly, it’s great weather and we get a chance to play outdoors. We don’t really get that opportunity in January and the first part of February [in Durham].”

Aside from enjoying the Hawaiian weather—the low temperatures in Waikiki

the next two days are a brisk 63 degrees Wednesday and 69 degrees Thursday—the Blue Devils will use the trip for more than an opportunity to play outdoors.

One of the unique aspects of the tournament lies in the fact that every player on all three teams’ rosters will have a chance to play. Each team match will consist of nine singles and four doubles matches. Typically, only the top six players play singles and three teams play doubles.

“It’s a format where each day we get two rounds of doubles and one round of singles,” Smith said. “There will be an overall winner of singles and an overall winner in doubles. It’s a great time for me to see how hard the guys have worked over break.”

The Blue Devils began practice Sunday afternoon, and spent Monday and Tuesday getting caught up and ridding themselves of jet lag before the competition starts Wednesday.

Duke will look to build on a successful fall campaign, as the continued success of veterans Jason Tahir, Raphael Hemmeler and Bruno Semenzato—paired with the explosion of freshman Nicolas Alvarez—helped to keep the momentum the Blue Devils ended last season with going.

No. 36 Tahir won one match before being eliminated from the ITA National Indoors, a November tournament made up of the nation’s top 32 players. No. 103 Hemmeler and No. 112 Semenzato concluded the fall by advancing all the way to the finals of the Dick Vitale Clay Court Classic, though the meet was called a draw due to inclement

weather.Alvarez also qualified for the ITA

National Indoors, but could not compete due to illness. The Lima, Peru, native had already qualified for nationals by making the quarterfinals of the ITA All-American tournament earlier in the season.

“Nico Alvarez, our freshman, had a really unbelievable freshman fall—qualifying and making the quarterfinals of All-Americans, and semifinals in the regionals,” Smith said. “The other guys that stood out were Jason Tamir, Raphael Hemmler and Bruno Semenzato. All four of those guys really stepped up and won tournaments.”

After his strong fall slate, Alvarez is currently slated as the 18th-best player in the nation, and in Hawaii, he may have a chance to prove himself once again against top-tier competition. Louisville boasts the No. 1 player in the nation in Sebastian Stiefelmeyer—the first player in Cardinal history to own the top spot.

Stiefelmeyer finished the fall with a 17-2 singles record and became the first Louisville player to win the ITA All-American Singles Championship after entering the tournament at No. 110 in the preseason rankings. As the matches played in Hawaii count toward national rankings,

one Duke player will have a chance to knock off the top-ranked preseason player before the thick of season play even begins.

“It’s a fun trip, but these are also matches that count for national ranking,” Smith said. “Louisville has the No. 1 player in the country on their team, so someone’s going to get a shot at playing against the No. 1 player in college.”

Following the Blue Devils’ trip to take on Stiefelmeyer, Louisville and Hawaii, Duke will return home to Durham—where the temperatures will hover in the mid-30s and 40s—to prepare for its 2015 home opener against Michigan State Friday, Jan. 16.

ACC—juniors Codi Miller-McIntyre and Devin Thomas—as it tries to avenge last season’s loss and notch its 14th straight double-digit win to open the season.

“We know the challenge we have ahead of us—the ACC is really a

different animal once you start going on the road,” assistant coach Jon Scheyer said. “[For us] it [all] starts with those two guys.”

The Blue Devils (13-0, 1-0 in the ACC) are hoping that Wednesday’s contest

follows the same script as Saturday’s ACC opener against Boston College. Led by freshman center Jahlil Okafor and a stingy defense, Duke pulled away from the Eagles at the end of the first half and didn’t show any sign of a second-half letdown.

Although the Blue Devil offense—which ranks third in the nation in field goal percentage and fourth in points per game—continued to shine and put up 85 points, the best thing about Saturday’s contest for Duke’s coaches was the team’s defensive intensity.

If the Blue Devils can defend Miller-McIntyre and Thomas—Wake Forest’s only two double-digit scorers—the same way, the Demon Deacons (8-7, 0-2) will have to rely on a bevy of unproven role players to beat Duke exactly like Boston College did.

“We really tried to make [Boston College star guard Olivier] Hanlan’s life difficult,” Scheyer said. “He scored, but it was hard for him. Any great player you play, our goal isn’t to shut him out, it’s to take away the things they do the best.”

Thomas should provide a test for the

M. BASKETBALLcontinued from page 6

Khloe Kim | The ChronicleFreshman Jahlil Okafor is coming off a career-high 28-point performance—including a 14-of-17 outing at the free throw line—in the Blue Dev-ils’ ACC-opener against Boston College.

Darbi Griffith| Chronicle File PhotoRedshirt junior Conner Hartmann ranks fifth in the nation in the 197-pound weight class and has dropped just one match in his eight contests.

Blue Devils in the paint that very few have been unable to, due to Okafor’s knack for getting opposing big men in foul trouble. The 6-foot-9, 255-pound forward is coming off a 31-point, 11-rebound performance that nearly lifted Wake Forest past No. 5 Louisville Sunday—the Cardinals prevailed 85-76—and his 9.7 boards per game correlate with the Demon Deacons’ biggest strength.

Wake Forest’s 40.5 rebounds per contest rank in the top 25 nationally and show that head coach Danny Manning’s players are still playing hard despite early-season struggles in his first year at the helm. The Demon Deacons only have one player on their team with more than

20 3-pointers on the season— Mitchell Wilbekin, the brother of former Florida star Scottie Wilbekin—and are at their best when they can generate points in the paint and on second shots.

After giving up 16 offensive rebounds in last season’s loss, boxing out will likely be the top priority for Duke, especially when swingman Justise Winslow plays the four. But an almost equally important task for the Blue Devils will be staying in front of the lightning-quick Miller-McIntyre, whose 13 points and eight assists last year came on a steady diet of dribble penetration and living in the paint.

The 6-foot-3 guard is not known for his outside shooting, but is a tough finisher in the paint thanks to his 205-pound frame.

“With a guy like Codi Miller-McIntyre, the one thing he does a great job of is

really pushing it in transition,” Scheyer said. “He [just] gets it and goes. For our defense, to get back, to have five guys sprint back and defend our basket—transition defense—is a big key.”

On the offensive end, Duke has several favorable matchups against a team that ranks 215th in the nation in points allowed per game with 67.7. Early on, it will look to see how how Wake Forest decides to handle Okafor before settling into its usual sets. And if reserves Matt Jones and Rasheed Sulaimon continue their recent strong play, the number of Blue Devil weapons could lead to a few big Duke runs as long as the defense holds up.

But what might make this trip to Winston Salem stand out most is senior leadership.

Senior guard Quinn Cook averages 14.5 points per game and knows the sense of urgency needed in ACC games better than any of his teammates and better than any player for Wake Forest, which has no players in their fourth year contributing to the program.

“Quinn as a starter and being the only senior, he’s done a really good job showing these young guys how it should be,” Scheyer said.

WRESTLINGcontinued from page 6

Missouri in the championship match. Hartmann was one of eight Duke wrestlers to advance to the second day of wrestling, three more than the Blue Devils advanced last season at the tournament.

Overall, Duke finished 18th with 32.5 points, as Brian Dorsey, Jake Faust, Jacob Kasper, Grant Leeth and Randy Roden all finished with at least 2-2 marks at the tournament.

No. 5 Hartmann and No. 18 Marcus Cain at 149 pounds enter Wednesday’s match as the only two ranked wrestlers for Duke. Hartmann’s loss to Cox marks his sole defeat of the year, as he boasts a 7-1 record heading into his clash with N.C. State’s Michael Boykin (12-3).

Cain will be taking part in his first action since a Nov. 22 win against Nebraska’s Justin Arthur. Senior Immanuel Kerr-Brown will look to retake his spot among the nation’s top 20 157-pound weight class wrestlers, as he dropped out of the rankings for the first time in nine weeks after going 2-2 in the Southern Scuffle—the record is slightly misleading, as one win came from a bye.

Going up against the Blue Devils, No. 22 N.C. State (7-2) will open ACC play coming off a 29-12 win against Appalachian State. The Wolfpack’s only losses came against two top-10 opponents in No. 7 Nebraska and No. 3 Cornell.

Leading the way for N.C. State on the mat will be second-ranked heavyweight Nick Gwiazdowski, who boasts a perfect 16-0 record and will take on Duke’s Brendan Walsh (2-5). Max Rohskopf owns a 15-5 mark and is No. 15 in the nation at 165. At 141, Sam Speno (6-5) rounds out the Wolfpack’s ranked wrestlers, as he is 18th in the nation in his class.

Following Wednesday’s match, Duke will head to Pittsburgh Sunday, Jan. 11 to take part in the Pitt Duals. The Blue Devils will take on the Panthers in addition to Eastern Michigan and Lock Haven.

M. BASKETBALLcontinued from page 6

Khloe Kim | The ChronicleFreshman Jahlil Okafor is coming off a career-high 28-point performance—including a 14-of-17 outing at the free throw line—in the Blue Dev-ils’ ACC-opener against Boston College.

Darbi Griffith| Chronicle File PhotoRedshirt junior Conner Hartmann ranks fifth in the nation in the 197-pound weight class and has dropped just one match in his eight contests.

Blue Devils in the paint that very few have been unable to, due to Okafor’s knack for getting opposing big men in foul trouble. The 6-foot-9, 255-pound forward is coming off a 31-point, 11-rebound performance that nearly lifted Wake Forest past No. 5 Louisville Sunday—the Cardinals prevailed 85-76—and his 9.7 boards per game correlate with the Demon Deacons’ biggest strength.

Wake Forest’s 40.5 rebounds per contest rank in the top 25 nationally and show that head coach Danny Manning’s players are still playing hard despite early-season struggles in his first year at the helm. The Demon Deacons only have one player on their team with more than

20 3-pointers on the season— Mitchell Wilbekin, the brother of former Florida star Scottie Wilbekin—and are at their best when they can generate points in the paint and on second shots.

After giving up 16 offensive rebounds in last season’s loss, boxing out will likely be the top priority for Duke, especially when swingman Justise Winslow plays the four. But an almost equally important task for the Blue Devils will be staying in front of the lightning-quick Miller-McIntyre, whose 13 points and eight assists last year came on a steady diet of dribble penetration and living in the paint.

The 6-foot-3 guard is not known for his outside shooting, but is a tough finisher in the paint thanks to his 205-pound frame.

“With a guy like Codi Miller-McIntyre, the one thing he does a great job of is

really pushing it in transition,” Scheyer said. “He [just] gets it and goes. For our defense, to get back, to have five guys sprint back and defend our basket—transition defense—is a big key.”

On the offensive end, Duke has several favorable matchups against a team that ranks 215th in the nation in points allowed per game with 67.7. Early on, it will look to see how how Wake Forest decides to handle Okafor before settling into its usual sets. And if reserves Matt Jones and Rasheed Sulaimon continue their recent strong play, the number of Blue Devil weapons could lead to a few big Duke runs as long as the defense holds up.

But what might make this trip to Winston Salem stand out most is senior leadership.

Senior guard Quinn Cook averages 14.5 points per game and knows the sense of urgency needed in ACC games better than any of his teammates and better than any player for Wake Forest, which has no players in their fourth year contributing to the program.

“Quinn as a starter and being the only senior, he’s done a really good job showing these young guys how it should be,” Scheyer said.

WRESTLINGcontinued from page 6

Missouri in the championship match. Hartmann was one of eight Duke wrestlers to advance to the second day of wrestling, three more than the Blue Devils advanced last season at the tournament.

Overall, Duke finished 18th with 32.5 points, as Brian Dorsey, Jake Faust, Jacob Kasper, Grant Leeth and Randy Roden all finished with at least 2-2 marks at the tournament.

No. 5 Hartmann and No. 18 Marcus Cain at 149 pounds enter Wednesday’s match as the only two ranked wrestlers for Duke. Hartmann’s loss to Cox marks his sole defeat of the year, as he boasts a 7-1 record heading into his clash with N.C. State’s Michael Boykin (12-3).

Cain will be taking part in his first action since a Nov. 22 win against Nebraska’s Justin Arthur. Senior Immanuel Kerr-Brown will look to retake his spot among the nation’s top 20 157-pound weight class wrestlers, as he dropped out of the rankings for the first time in nine weeks after going 2-2 in the Southern Scuffle—the record is slightly misleading, as one win came from a bye.

Going up against the Blue Devils, No. 22 N.C. State (7-2) will open ACC play coming off a 29-12 win against Appalachian State. The Wolfpack’s only losses came against two top-10 opponents in No. 7 Nebraska and No. 3 Cornell.

Leading the way for N.C. State on the mat will be second-ranked heavyweight Nick Gwiazdowski, who boasts a perfect 16-0 record and will take on Duke’s Brendan Walsh (2-5). Max Rohskopf owns a 15-5 mark and is No. 15 in the nation at 165. At 141, Sam Speno (6-5) rounds out the Wolfpack’s ranked wrestlers, as he is 18th in the nation in his class.

Following Wednesday’s match, Duke will head to Pittsburgh Sunday, Jan. 11 to take part in the Pitt Duals. The Blue Devils will take on the Panthers in addition to Eastern Michigan and Lock Haven.

KatieBecker THING AGAIN

In early December of my freshman year, I sat in Page Auditorium with several hundred other first-year women, listening to a presentation about soror-

ity recruitment. Much to my surprise, after covering details about logistics and costs, the presenter soberly reminded us that we would be able to visit CAPS and speak to a counselor if we needed to during the pro-cess. I honestly thought she was joking. Mental help? Over a sorority?

Six weeks later, I walked to the bathroom on the morning of “Preference Round” and heard the halls of GA echoing with the sound of many of my classmates crying. I remember how a friend, a beautiful woman of Asian-American heritage, spent hours wondering whether her race had played a factor in her getting rejected from her top-choice sorority after realizing that women of color were sorely underrepresented in that group. I watched another friend lock herself in her room for almost 24 hours upon hearing that eight out of nine sororities had dropped her. I grew used to seeing girls in my Gamma Chi group—rush group, for the uninitiated—struggle to hold back tears after being notified that they hadn’t been asked back to their top-choice sorority in front of 25 strangers. I remember when a girl on my hall confessed that

she had been taking sleeping pills throughout the entire process because the related stress had kept her awake for hours.

From the outside, all of this may sound a bit shallow. It’s very easy to dismiss concerns related to sorority rush as inconsequential. It is also easy for women to approach the rush process by telling themselves, “I won’t get too caught up in this, and I won’t let it affect me.” I know I did.

But I also quickly learned that rejection works in strange ways. I’m a realist—I knew from the outset that I wasn’t cut out to be in certain groups, nor did I particularly want to be. Somehow, that didn’t make it any less hurtful when they inevitably did not invite me back.

Now, obviously rejection is part of life, particularly life at Duke. I’ve certainly been rejected from colleges, jobs and clubs. I’ve always tried to approach these as opportunities to learn and better myself.

This is different. Rejections in the context of rush feel both particularly public and painfully personal. Because the rejections are generally inexplicable—women will never know what precisely caused them to be excluded—they affirm and intensify our greatest insecurities.

Let me be clear—I am not arguing that the women who make up these organizations intend to cause pain and hurt in the students they are required to reject. Such a claim would be as unproductive as it is untrue. What I am saying is that we need to inject a little bit more honesty into how we talk about recruitment at Duke. I am addressing sorority rush in particular, but I believe a lot of these principles are applicable to the fraternity and SLG rush processes as well.

I certainly don’t intend to suggest that I have all the answers, or that my experiences in rush will mirror anyone else’s. I am also well aware that I am biased—maybe a little bitter—as someone who was rejected from

my top-choice sororities and an SLG. I am not privy to the particular conversations and procedures that occur behind closed doors during the rush process.

That said, I do think that there’s a critical need for an honest discussion about the role of Greek Life on our campus and what to expect during the recruitment process. A lot of the dialogue falls short, and we resort either to glamorizing what is an inherently cruel process or to calling for its complete abolition. Neither of these is helpful for those of us trying to navigate a campus climate where Greek Life and SLGs affect our college experience in some way. We must talk about this because casualties of rush extend far beyond just the people directly involved – rush affects the people who support them and the community as a whole.

So, to those of you who are rushing, I urge you to think critically about the rush process as you engage in it. Don’t leave your brains at the doors of the convention center. Be honest with yourself about your expectations and the effect that you predict the rush process will have on you. We are all prone to overestimate our own attractiveness, intelligence and charm, and therefore our chances of obtaining a coveted social status. Don’t let yourself fall into this trap. There are sororities on this campus that have had their pledge classes scoped out since November. As charming as you may be, a five-

minute conversation is unlikely to change that.Question everything you hear. Question any

implication that you will be invited back. You may get along great with one girl, but her influence on the overall process is likely extremely limited. At my top-choice house, I was told, “When you’re my sister…” and “You’ll just love our preference ceremony.” Guess what? I wasn’t invited to that ceremony, and it would have hurt a hell of a lot less if I hadn’t been told that I would.

Don’t fall prey to maxims like “The process works the way it’s supposed to work” or “You’ll end up where you’re meant to be.” That’s simply not true. Don’t make the mistake of looking at the smiling bid day photos and assuming that everyone is happy. Think about whose experiences aren’t pictured in those photos. In 2013, 23% of registered Potential New Members dropped out before the process was finished or did not accept their bid. That means that almost a quarter of women left the process dissatisfied. Dropping out of a sorority after pledging, particularly in junior or senior year, is similarly common, though rarely talked about. So, if the goal of the process is to help each woman find a sorority she’ll be happy in, then it’s certainly not working the way it’s supposed to. Dropping out is nothing to be ashamed of—I dropped out because I knew that I could never participate in a system that hurt so many young women.

Above all, remember that you have power in this process, even if when feels like you don’t. You can choose whether or not to let the outcome of rush completely define you as a person and as a Duke woman. The letters you wear on your chest have no bearing on your worth as a human being. Don’t forget that.

Katie Becker is a Trinity sophomore. This is her first column of the semester.

Before you rush into anything

The beginning of spring semester is an interesting time of the year—countless tents are pitched in K-ville in anticipation for the UNC game, the lot of once starved freshmen finally have

food points again and, last but not least, rush begins.For you freshmen, you may find your dorms rather empty during this

time. Outside of classes, rush events for whatever fraternities or selective living groups (SLGs) you are interested in will fill up your nights and any girl partaking in sorority recruitment will be a rare sight during the first few weekends. Whether you are ready or not, one of the most socially hectic months of the school year is already underway.

Additionally, in the weeks after rush, the new sorority pledges on your floor will start receiving a rather envious amount of what can only be described as goodie baskets on steroids from their Bigs, the amount of Greek-lettered apparel on campus will exponentially increase and everyone who became affiliated will suddenly gain an obscene amount of new Facebook friends. And finally—brace yourselves—an outstanding amount of bid day pictures are coming.

Before coming to Duke, I didn’t have even the slightest idea of what a fraternity or a sorority was. It took me a few months to pick up on what all the Greek symbols represented and grasp what an SLG was. Since then, I have grown to be more knowledgeable about the Greek alphabet than I think I will ever need to be. Many of my friends have joined a diverse

range of organizations and, after a thrilling rush process last spring, I also accepted a bid from and have become an active member of an SLG.

To be honest, rush can be frightening. The seemingly endless events may become overwhelming and the dreadful small talk may feel oddly reminiscent of the oh-so-beloved O-week. Yet, though it may be a bit stressful, rush can also be one of the most exciting times of the year. For me, I met extraordinary individuals who I may never have met otherwise and attended events ranging from a simple Marketplace brunch to jam-packed, wacky-themed roller skating parties to even a deceptively entertaining cloud watching kick-back. I got cut from one group, simply stopped rushing others and, in the end, I was waiting for a bid from and looking to join only one of the many SLGs I began the rush process with. I was nervous but bid or no bid, I would not have had any regrets about rushing.

Throughout last semester, many freshmen asked me about SLG and Greek life on campus. They wanted to know whether they should rush or not, and if so, which ones. Despite being the obviously all-knowing, wise second-year student that I am, I struggled to give them satisfactory replies. Though some may believe otherwise, I don’t think there is a right answer. People rush for all sorts of reasons and, likewise, many choose not to rush for plenty of reasons as well.

However, for those who are rushing Greek life or any SLGs, remember that beyond any organization’s philosophy or trivial stereotype associated with a group, the members who constitute the organization should ultimately be the deciding factors. Aspire to surround yourself with meaningful people—those whose qualities you yearn to adopt, those who inspire and challenge you to become more and those who make you smile and laugh. Get to know members on a more genuine level and move beyond the senseless small talk. They’ll appreciate the honest conversation too, I promise.

Prior to Duke, many of us were valedictorians, team captains, first chair musicians and prom kings and queens. Success was an ever-present aspect of our lives growing up. Consequently, our encounters with rejection may have been rare and therefore, our experiences coping with it were most likely minimal at best. Getting cut during rush or not receiving a bid from a particular group can sting and may even go so far as to crumble one’s sense of worth. However, rush will only be what you allow it to be and it’s foolish to let any organization define your sense of social acceptance or competence at Duke.

I recently asked a freshman friend why she wanted to rush SLGs. She said she wanted “to be a part of something bigger while making Duke seem a little smaller.” For me, my SLG has done that and so much more. Though it is impossible to be best friends with everyone, we are nonetheless close-knit—we study together, party together and cheer on Duke sports together. I love being a member of my SLG and have shared many of my favorite college experiences with them. Whether you rush or not, I hope you discover a stimulating community of individuals with whom you can grow and feel at home with amidst the vast chaos that college can sometimes become.

Most importantly, remember that any affiliation is just one of the many facets of your Duke experience. Do not lose sight of the amazing relationships you developed in the fall and by no means, allow rush to cripple old friendships and hinder you from new ones.

Oh, and welcome back to school.

Rush, rushing and the rushed

Brandon ChoiBOY FROM THE BUBBLE

RachelAnderson THE GRAB BAG

As a 5’2” female walking into a male-domi-nated weight room, I attract a lot of looks as I haul around weights half my size and

use a step stool to reach the pull-up bar. I’ll be the first to admit that I look out of place in such an environment. However, my fitness regime only seems strange because I defy an unspoken rule of the gym—men lift weights, and women do cardio. I love lifting weights, though, and not the Cosmo or Self magazine 5-pound dumbbell kind either.

Being a solo female in the weight room is kind of like going clubbing by yourself—you attract unwanted attention when all you want is to keep dancing on your own. For many women, “gymtimidation” prevents them from getting fit. Sport England, a British organization that

issues funding for grassroots athletic initiatives, found that a fear of judgment far outweighs women’s confidence to exercise. Concerns ranging from embarrassment over athletic ability to worries about appearance prevent women from staying active.

Last spring, the Duke Inquiries in Social Relations published a survey that found that only 39 percent of students—48% of men and 34% of women—agree that Duke’s culture makes them feel confident. This lack of confidence is perpetuated by a variety of causes. However, I believe that a potential solution to improving female confidence levels may be as simple as encouraging women to venture outside the cardio room.

For a long time, I personally subscribed to women’s magazine mythology and conformed to gym gender divisions. I feared lifting weights would add unwanted bulky muscle to my small frame. In high school, I cut weight and ran two times a day for cross country. It wasn’t until I had my worst race of the season, despite running more than ever before, that I realized my training made me weaker, not stronger.

By the time I came to Duke, I had shed my most unhealthy habits, but the voice in my head calling me fat remained. I continued to compare myself with other women on campus, and fantasized about slipping back into my old habits. But then I discovered a blog called Nerd Fitness, where I read an article about a woman

named Staci whose story was similar to my own. After shedding weight through restrictive eating and excessive cardio, Staci found herself feeling perpetually exhausted and weak. When she struggled to perform even the most basic exercises, she realized she had to get healthy. She cleaned up her diet, started lifting weights and became confident and strong.

Staci’s story inspired me to strive for a healthier lifestyle, and make peace with my body. Following Staci’s advice, I tried lifting myself and noticed that the negative voice in my head disappeared. My formerly fat thighs? These thighs help me deadlift more than my own weight. My thick arms? These arms can overhead press more than half the guys at the gym can press. Where I used to find insecurities, I now take pride in my

figure, because it is a testament to my training.Unfortunately, I’m often frustrated by the

responses I get when I talk about lifting weights. Aren’t you afraid of getting big? The answer is no, I’m not afraid because biologically it is almost impossible for women to get too bulky from lifting weights. Google it. I promise the science supports me, in addition to dozens of testimonials from amateur lifters like Staci.

I recognize that stereotypes against female weightlifters are difficult to overcome, but I know from experience overcoming the stigma is worth it. Maybe your story is similar to mine or Staci’s, or maybe you’re just looking to switch up your workout regime. Regardless of your goals, my challenge to you is to find a friend, watch some videos to learn how to squat, overhead press and deadlift and go to the gym. Look at resources like Starting Strength, StrongLifts 5x5 or Nerd Fitness for additional inspiration.

In the end, if you decide to stick to cardio, that’s okay too. You should do what you love to do to stay healthy. But if you want to try something new, challenge yourself and improve your confidence, then I suggest you give lifting a try.

Now, go Uplift yourself!

Rachel Anderson is a Trinity Junior and co-founder of a new organization called Uplift that seeks to em-power women through strength training. This is her first column of the semester.

Do you even lift, sis?

It was a gun in the Kirby Reading Room! So was Dean Nowicki killed in the Fuqua School of Business for the murder-mystery component

of the sixth annual Winter Forum, “To Catch a Killer: Investigating the Brain.” This year’s three-day program focused on the connections between neuroscience and the legal system, continuing the

fresh tradition of Winter Forum’s combination of seemingly disparate fields for an interactive learning experience. Past Winter Forums have tackled STEM education in the United States and India, refugee rights and resettlement and a “green” economy. The benefits of the program abound and should be expanded to reach more students.

In topic and in presentation, Winter Forum engages students in an accessible manner that fosters wide-reaching curiosity, no matter the extant level of expertise. This year’s program examining the potential use of fMRI in criminal cases, the legality and ethics of obtaining neurological and psychiatric information and the

fallibility of memory and eyewitness testimony, for example, bridged together neuroscience, psychology and ethics, among other fields. For those familiar with the disciplines showcased in the forum, the program offered an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in a simulation. For those without any background, the forum serves as a snapshot of areas of interest, perhaps inspiring potential majors while also raising awareness of current challenges in those fields. Winter Forum serves as a medium for exposing various students to disciplines they may not have considered.

Not only does the program make complex topics accessible, it also provides real-life applications to theories learned in the classroom. Students in this year’s forum not only satiated their childhood fantasies of enacting the murder-mystery game Clue in real life—having worked in small teams of students and mentors to solve Dean Nowicki’s murder—they did so while learning from experts in neuroscience and law.

The forum is an immersive and educational experience invaluable to students. Yet the forum could increase its potency by continuing its reach beyond the three-day program. For example, the

program could provide a list of relevant courses offered that semester for participants to continue more formal learning. The forum could also be extended to reach more students, expanding from one to two programs a year. However, the strongest onus to continue education and civic engagement, or to explore new career interests, should come from the participants, as they have already demonstrated initiative by ending their break early to be a part of the forum.

Several teams in this year’s forum were successful in identifying the killer using what was learned over the course of three days. This was a success not only because of the spirit of competition, but because the killer’s next target was President Brodhead. Thankfully for President Brodhead and all of us, he was “saved” and was able to address the forum. During his remarks, President Brodhead touched on perhaps the greatest benefit of Winter Forum, noting that “education begins when requirements end.” In an environment where GPA and post graduate plans are constantly looming, an opportunity to gain knowledge for knowledge’s sake is greatly welcomed and should be made available to more students.

I certainly don’t intend to suggest that I have all the answers, or that my experiences in rush will mirror anyone else’s. I am also well aware that I am biased—maybe a little bitter—as someone who was rejected from

my top-choice sororities and an SLG. I am not privy to the particular conversations and procedures that occur behind closed doors during the rush process.

That said, I do think that there’s a critical need for an honest discussion about the role of Greek Life on our campus and what to expect during the recruitment process. A lot of the dialogue falls short, and we resort either to glamorizing what is an inherently cruel process or to calling for its complete abolition. Neither of these is helpful for those of us trying to navigate a campus climate where Greek Life and SLGs affect our college experience in some way. We must talk about this because casualties of rush extend far beyond just the people directly involved – rush affects the people who support them and the community as a whole.

So, to those of you who are rushing, I urge you to think critically about the rush process as you engage in it. Don’t leave your brains at the doors of the convention center. Be honest with yourself about your expectations and the effect that you predict the rush process will have on you. We are all prone to overestimate our own attractiveness, intelligence and charm, and therefore our chances of obtaining a coveted social status. Don’t let yourself fall into this trap. There are sororities on this campus that have had their pledge classes scoped out since November. As charming as you may be, a five-

minute conversation is unlikely to change that.Question everything you hear. Question any

implication that you will be invited back. You may get along great with one girl, but her influence on the overall process is likely extremely limited. At my top-choice house, I was told, “When you’re my sister…” and “You’ll just love our preference ceremony.” Guess what? I wasn’t invited to that ceremony, and it would have hurt a hell of a lot less if I hadn’t been told that I would.

Don’t fall prey to maxims like “The process works the way it’s supposed to work” or “You’ll end up where you’re meant to be.” That’s simply not true. Don’t make the mistake of looking at the smiling bid day photos and assuming that everyone is happy. Think about whose experiences aren’t pictured in those photos. In 2013, 23% of registered Potential New Members dropped out before the process was finished or did not accept their bid. That means that almost a quarter of women left the process dissatisfied. Dropping out of a sorority after pledging, particularly in junior or senior year, is similarly common, though rarely talked about. So, if the goal of the process is to help each woman find a sorority she’ll be happy in, then it’s certainly not working the way it’s supposed to. Dropping out is nothing to be ashamed of—I dropped out because I knew that I could never participate in a system that hurt so many young women.

Above all, remember that you have power in this process, even if when feels like you don’t. You can choose whether or not to let the outcome of rush completely define you as a person and as a Duke woman. The letters you wear on your chest have no bearing on your worth as a human being. Don’t forget that.

Before you rush into anything

The beginning of spring semester is an interesting time of the year—countless tents are pitched in K-ville in anticipation for the UNC game, the lot of once starved freshmen finally have

food points again and, last but not least, rush begins.For you freshmen, you may find your dorms rather empty during this

time. Outside of classes, rush events for whatever fraternities or selective living groups (SLGs) you are interested in will fill up your nights and any girl partaking in sorority recruitment will be a rare sight during the first few weekends. Whether you are ready or not, one of the most socially hectic months of the school year is already underway.

Additionally, in the weeks after rush, the new sorority pledges on your floor will start receiving a rather envious amount of what can only be described as goodie baskets on steroids from their Bigs, the amount of Greek-lettered apparel on campus will exponentially increase and everyone who became affiliated will suddenly gain an obscene amount of new Facebook friends. And finally—brace yourselves—an outstanding amount of bid day pictures are coming.

Before coming to Duke, I didn’t have even the slightest idea of what a fraternity or a sorority was. It took me a few months to pick up on what all the Greek symbols represented and grasp what an SLG was. Since then, I have grown to be more knowledgeable about the Greek alphabet than I think I will ever need to be. Many of my friends have joined a diverse

range of organizations and, after a thrilling rush process last spring, I also accepted a bid from and have become an active member of an SLG.

To be honest, rush can be frightening. The seemingly endless events may become overwhelming and the dreadful small talk may feel oddly reminiscent of the oh-so-beloved O-week. Yet, though it may be a bit stressful, rush can also be one of the most exciting times of the year. For me, I met extraordinary individuals who I may never have met otherwise and attended events ranging from a simple Marketplace brunch to jam-packed, wacky-themed roller skating parties to even a deceptively entertaining cloud watching kick-back. I got cut from one group, simply stopped rushing others and, in the end, I was waiting for a bid from and looking to join only one of the many SLGs I began the rush process with. I was nervous but bid or no bid, I would not have had any regrets about rushing.

Throughout last semester, many freshmen asked me about SLG and Greek life on campus. They wanted to know whether they should rush or not, and if so, which ones. Despite being the obviously all-knowing, wise second-year student that I am, I struggled to give them satisfactory replies. Though some may believe otherwise, I don’t think there is a right answer. People rush for all sorts of reasons and, likewise, many choose not to rush for plenty of reasons as well.

However, for those who are rushing Greek life or any SLGs, remember that beyond any organization’s philosophy or trivial stereotype associated with a group, the members who constitute the organization should ultimately be the deciding factors. Aspire to surround yourself with meaningful people—those whose qualities you yearn to adopt, those who inspire and challenge you to become more and those who make you smile and laugh. Get to know members on a more genuine level and move beyond the senseless small talk. They’ll appreciate the honest conversation too, I promise.

Prior to Duke, many of us were valedictorians, team captains, first chair musicians and prom kings and queens. Success was an ever-present aspect of our lives growing up. Consequently, our encounters with rejection may have been rare and therefore, our experiences coping with it were most likely minimal at best. Getting cut during rush or not receiving a bid from a particular group can sting and may even go so far as to crumble one’s sense of worth. However, rush will only be what you allow it to be and it’s foolish to let any organization define your sense of social acceptance or competence at Duke.

I recently asked a freshman friend why she wanted to rush SLGs. She said she wanted “to be a part of something bigger while making Duke seem a little smaller.” For me, my SLG has done that and so much more. Though it is impossible to be best friends with everyone, we are nonetheless close-knit—we study together, party together and cheer on Duke sports together. I love being a member of my SLG and have shared many of my favorite college experiences with them. Whether you rush or not, I hope you discover a stimulating community of individuals with whom you can grow and feel at home with amidst the vast chaos that college can sometimes become.

Most importantly, remember that any affiliation is just one of the many facets of your Duke experience. Do not lose sight of the amazing relationships you developed in the fall and by no means, allow rush to cripple old friendships and hinder you from new ones.

Oh, and welcome back to school.

Rush, rushing and the rushed

Brandon ChoiBOY FROM THE BUBBLE

RachelAnderson THE GRAB BAG

As a 5’2” female walking into a male-domi-nated weight room, I attract a lot of looks as I haul around weights half my size and

use a step stool to reach the pull-up bar. I’ll be the first to admit that I look out of place in such an environment. However, my fitness regime only seems strange because I defy an unspoken rule of the gym—men lift weights, and women do cardio. I love lifting weights, though, and not the Cosmo or Self magazine 5-pound dumbbell kind either.

Being a solo female in the weight room is kind of like going clubbing by yourself—you attract unwanted attention when all you want is to keep dancing on your own. For many women, “gymtimidation” prevents them from getting fit. Sport England, a British organization that

issues funding for grassroots athletic initiatives, found that a fear of judgment far outweighs women’s confidence to exercise. Concerns ranging from embarrassment over athletic ability to worries about appearance prevent women from staying active.

Last spring, the Duke Inquiries in Social Relations published a survey that found that only 39 percent of students—48% of men and 34% of women—agree that Duke’s culture makes them feel confident. This lack of confidence is perpetuated by a variety of causes. However, I believe that a potential solution to improving female confidence levels may be as simple as encouraging women to venture outside the cardio room.

For a long time, I personally subscribed to women’s magazine mythology and conformed to gym gender divisions. I feared lifting weights would add unwanted bulky muscle to my small frame. In high school, I cut weight and ran two times a day for cross country. It wasn’t until I had my worst race of the season, despite running more than ever before, that I realized my training made me weaker, not stronger.

By the time I came to Duke, I had shed my most unhealthy habits, but the voice in my head calling me fat remained. I continued to compare myself with other women on campus, and fantasized about slipping back into my old habits. But then I discovered a blog called Nerd Fitness, where I read an article about a woman

named Staci whose story was similar to my own. After shedding weight through restrictive eating and excessive cardio, Staci found herself feeling perpetually exhausted and weak. When she struggled to perform even the most basic exercises, she realized she had to get healthy. She cleaned up her diet, started lifting weights and became confident and strong.

Staci’s story inspired me to strive for a healthier lifestyle, and make peace with my body. Following Staci’s advice, I tried lifting myself and noticed that the negative voice in my head disappeared. My formerly fat thighs? These thighs help me deadlift more than my own weight. My thick arms? These arms can overhead press more than half the guys at the gym can press. Where I used to find insecurities, I now take pride in my

figure, because it is a testament to my training.Unfortunately, I’m often frustrated by the

responses I get when I talk about lifting weights. Aren’t you afraid of getting big? The answer is no, I’m not afraid because biologically it is almost impossible for women to get too bulky from lifting weights. Google it. I promise the science supports me, in addition to dozens of testimonials from amateur lifters like Staci.

I recognize that stereotypes against female weightlifters are difficult to overcome, but I know from experience overcoming the stigma is worth it. Maybe your story is similar to mine or Staci’s, or maybe you’re just looking to switch up your workout regime. Regardless of your goals, my challenge to you is to find a friend, watch some videos to learn how to squat, overhead press and deadlift and go to the gym. Look at resources like Starting Strength, StrongLifts 5x5 or Nerd Fitness for additional inspiration.

In the end, if you decide to stick to cardio, that’s okay too. You should do what you love to do to stay healthy. But if you want to try something new, challenge yourself and improve your confidence, then I suggest you give lifting a try.

Now, go Uplift yourself!

Do you even lift, sis?

It was a gun in the Kirby Reading Room! So was Dean Nowicki killed in the Fuqua School of Business for the murder-mystery component

of the sixth annual Winter Forum, “To Catch a Killer: Investigating the Brain.” This year’s three-day program focused on the connections between neuroscience and the legal system, continuing the

fresh tradition of Winter Forum’s combination of seemingly disparate fields for an interactive learning experience. Past Winter Forums have tackled STEM education in the United States and India, refugee rights and resettlement and a “green” economy. The benefits of the program abound and should be expanded to reach more students.

In topic and in presentation, Winter Forum engages students in an accessible manner that fosters wide-reaching curiosity, no matter the extant level of expertise. This year’s program examining the potential use of fMRI in criminal cases, the legality and ethics of obtaining neurological and psychiatric information and the

fallibility of memory and eyewitness testimony, for example, bridged together neuroscience, psychology and ethics, among other fields. For those familiar with the disciplines showcased in the forum, the program offered an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in a simulation. For those without any background, the forum serves as a snapshot of areas of interest, perhaps inspiring potential majors while also raising awareness of current challenges in those fields. Winter Forum serves as a medium for exposing various students to disciplines they may not have considered.

Not only does the program make complex topics accessible, it also provides real-life applications to theories learned in the classroom. Students in this year’s forum not only satiated their childhood fantasies of enacting the murder-mystery game Clue in real life—having worked in small teams of students and mentors to solve Dean Nowicki’s murder—they did so while learning from experts in neuroscience and law.

The forum is an immersive and educational experience invaluable to students. Yet the forum could increase its potency by continuing its reach beyond the three-day program. For example, the

program could provide a list of relevant courses offered that semester for participants to continue more formal learning. The forum could also be extended to reach more students, expanding from one to two programs a year. However, the strongest onus to continue education and civic engagement, or to explore new career interests, should come from the participants, as they have already demonstrated initiative by ending their break early to be a part of the forum.

Several teams in this year’s forum were successful in identifying the killer using what was learned over the course of three days. This was a success not only because of the spirit of competition, but because the killer’s next target was President Brodhead. Thankfully for President Brodhead and all of us, he was “saved” and was able to address the forum. During his remarks, President Brodhead touched on perhaps the greatest benefit of Winter Forum, noting that “education begins when requirements end.” In an environment where GPA and post graduate plans are constantly looming, an opportunity to gain knowledge for knowledge’s sake is greatly welcomed and should be made available to more students.
