The Cameron Indoor expe~i­ence
from Ryan's perspective
As a diehard UNC fan and a
student of UNCG, I was a bit un­certain
about attending the UN­CG-
Duke basketball game last
Friday night in Cameron Indoor
Stadium. I felt like C-3PO in the
first Star Wars when he goes with
Luke to the jazz cantina and is
turned away at the door because
of a "no-droid" policy. I thought
for sure Duke would know I was
not of their kind.

From the outside, Cameron
Indoor is not the most impos­ing
stadium. It blends in so well
with the rest of Duke's gothic
architecture, if you didn't know
better you might mistake it for a
library. Amazingly, at one time it
was the largest gymnasium south
of Pennsylvania. Now, large high
schools have comparable stadi­ums
and if you ask any Dookie,
they wouldn't have it any other
way.
You can't help but get chills
walking into the building. As
members of the media, we were
directed down a hall passing be­neath

Spartans fall to
ninth ranked Duke
Matthew Howard
Sports Editor
Men's Basketball traveled to
Duke on Friday to take on the AP
9th ranked Blue Devils as well as
the Cameron Crazies.
In the 96-62 loss, forward
Ben Stywall totaled 19 points
and 8 rebounds. All of Stywall's
points came in the second half at
Cameron Indoor. Senior Mikko
Koivisto added 8 points and was
2-7 from the perimeter. Fresh­man
guard Kyle Randall was sec­ond
on the:Spartans with 9 points
-;md 4 assists.
For D].lke, Junior Kyle Singler
· had a game high 20 ·points and
added 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Senior Jon Scheyer added 18
points and 4 assists. Sophomore
Forward Miles Plumlee had a
game high 9 rebounds. Nolan
Smith did not play due while
he was serving a two game sus­pension
and freshman Mason
Plumlee, Miles younger brother,
section and the constant buzz of
the Crazies threatened to shake
the photos of past Duke teafns off
the walls. We stopped in the me­dia
room to pick up passes and
our seating assignments: court­side,
right in front of the Cam­eron
Crazies.
Matt and I literally had to step
on the shoes of Duke students to
get to our seats at the press table,
an action that was uncomfortably
gratifying. It was so loud at times,
you couldn't hear what the per­son
next to you was saying. As the
teams did their warm-ups, some­one
behind me said, "They look
scared." Really? Who isn't scared

The Spartans opened the game
with a dunk from Senior Pete
Brown to give them a 2-0 lead, the
only lead UNCG would see in the
game. From there Duke would
go on a 23-:6 run that would give
tbe,Blu~:D~vlls a 15 point advan­tage
just 8 minutes into the game.
. Koivisto hit 1 of his 2 three point
jumpers to cut the margin to 12.
The Blue Devils would go on
another run to further -pull away
fiom the Spartans and take a 21
. po!:g.t lead with just over 3 min­..
Ut~ ·left in the half. Duke turned
8 offensive rebounds into 10
second chance points in the first
half to add to their 48-27 lead at
the break. The Spartans were out
rebounded on both sides of the
boards, with only four offensive
and six defensive to Duke's 14 de­fensive
and 22 overall. The Blue
Devils were 4-10 from behind the

to come into Cameron?
Cameron Crazies are the best
fans in college basketball, but
they aren't necessarily college
basketball fans. You see, Duke
students are nerdy by nature and
were most likely born in places
like New Jersey or South Korea.
College basketball doesn't run
through their veins, but more
on their skin. Cameron Crazies
are proud to be original, funny
and distracting, and in doing so
have created a fandom that ex­ists
outside of the game itself. In

When most people hear the
terms nanoscience and nanoen­gineering,
common responses
are usually as follows: "What's
that?," ''I've never heard of it,"
or just a simple bla'nk stare .

"The largest concern that
we have now is: how do we
continue to maintain qual­ity?"
asked Chancellor Brady.
"How do we continue to offer
high quality programs to our
students to erisure that we can
offer an appropriate number
of sections; to be sure that we
