Duke beats first ranked opponent of season in 1,000th game at Cameron

urged to avoid stances on issues Gautam Hathi The Chronicle Richard Riddell, vice president and University secretary, urged this year’s Young Trustee candidates to avoid running on a platform, but the candidates have taken a variety of approaches to their campaigns. After the Young Trustee finalists were selected, Riddell met with them to give them guidelines on the role of Young Trustee and on how the candidates’ campaigns might relate to their role if elected. One of the guidelines given by Riddell was that candidates should avoid running on a platform of specific campaign promises, and should instead discuss how their experiences would make them the best fit for the role of Young Trustee. Each of the three candidates— seniors Jamal Edwards, Wills Rooney and Max Schreiber—has taken a different approach to following Riddell’s guideline, however. Edwards has released relatively few details publicly about what he wants to do on the Board of Trustees if elected, while Rooney has described general ideas that fit with his vision of the University’s future. Schreiber has been the most specific, outlining defined positions on issues the University faces. “There really is no room for a platform,” said junior Annie Adair, chair of the Young Trustee Nominating Committee. “That was really important for [Riddell] and that’s what I tried to convey to the candidates.” See YT FINALISTS on Page 5

Special to The Chronicle Richard Riddell, vice president and university secretary, told candidates to avoid relying on platforms in this year’s election.

Jack Dolgin The Chronicle How does a team celebrate the 1,000th game in one of college basketball’s most iconic venues? With a riveting, all-around effort to pick up its first win against a ranked opponent this season. Duke defeated No. 13 Louisville 7265 Monday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, powered by a combined 37 points from Grayson Allen and Brandon Ingram. After Allen scored 16 of his 19 points in the first half, Ingram helped close out the game from the free-throw line, handling the ball beyond the 3-point line and slashing to the basket to draw contact. “It was kind of spread it, isolate and let him be instinctively there,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Instead of waiting for him to get the ball, we gave him the ball…. And he really did a good job.” The Blue Devils (18-6, 7-4 in the ACC) led by 15 early in the second half, but the Cardinals (19-5, 8-3) erupted to

make 12 of their first 16 shots coming out of the locker room, quickly narrowing the gap to just one a few minutes later behind a 13-0 run. Louisville took a 58-57 lead on an oldfashioned 3-point play by point guard Quentin Snider, but Duke snatched it back on a lay-up by Matt Jones, who wedged around his defender to the left and finished off the glass. As the game approached its dramatic conclusion, a young Blue Devil team that has struggled in late-game situations this year did not look back. Instead they penetrated, with Ingram serving as the de facto floor general, resulting in eight straight free throws. After a defensive stop leading by six with less than a minute to go, Duke passed the ball around the perimeter as Louisville elected not to foul. With about 10 seconds left on the shot clock, the ball swung to freshman point guard Derryck Thornton on the right wing. As the Blue Devils had done so effectively throughout the closing minutes, he drove to the elbow—but momentarily lost the ball. Thornton looked down, found the

ball beneath his legs and gave a pumpfake to send Louisville swingman Damion Lee flying past him. With the shot clock winding down, he then navigated around an incoming Anas Mahmoud and flipped up a shot that banked in off the glass as the buzzer sounded. “I live for stuff like that,” Thornton said. “I was very confident when I took the shot and it went in.… I love positions like that.” Trey Lewis responded by downing a 3-pointer, and Louisville got the ball back down five with 22 seconds left. But Lee missed his fifth 3-pointer of the game, and Duke sealed the game with two free throws. “This one was a great win for these kids, not a good one, a great win,” Krzyzewski said. “Somehow, our group just showed incredible toughness while they were tired [in the second half].” The game lived up to its billing as a clash between Duke’s explosive offense and Louisville’s stingy defense.

First-year Sanford initiative POLIS engaging students with politics Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle A Sanford School of Public Policy initiative that began in the Fall semester connects students with politics in new and integrative ways. Funded as part of a $10 million gift from David Rubenstein, Trinity ‘70 and chair of the Board of Trustees, to Sanford, The Center for Politics, Leadership, Innovation and Service, has brought together political and identity groups on campus. Among the political players impacted by the initiative include figures in Washington, the media and other organizations to make politics more accessible to students. Frederick Mayer, director of POLIS and professor of public policy, and Land Douglas Elliot, associate director of POLIS, formed the initiative last summer and launched it in September. Since then, they have worked to engage students by combining politics with different disciplines, such as documentary studies and comedy. POLIS is one of the sponsors of a political comedy show Feb. 29 featuring SiriusXM Insight radio talk show hosts Pete Dominick, John Fugelsang and Dean Obeidallah. “POLIS is a new center at Duke aimed at improving the health of our democracy,” Elliot wrote in an email. “We envision working towards this improvement in two important ways: inspiring students to become more politically engaged and harnessing the energy and expertise of our faculty and students to study and propose innovative solutions to some of the challenges to the proper function of our political system.” Senior Ernest Britt III—a fellow

of POLIS—noted that young people, compared to other generations, are not as politically engaged, a problem POLIS intends to work on. Many students who observe the dysfunction and partisanship in politics today decide not to take part in it, Elliot explained. “To combat that, we want to make sure to highlight examples of the best of politics and where things do work well,” she wrote.

Elliot outlined different ways POLIS has tried to engage students from different disciplines, including the “Data+” research project, which incorporates polling data with politics to facilitate student projects that span multiple disciplines. “I think this interdisciplinary approach is very Duke and very future-oriented,” Britt said. “Politics in the 21st century isn’t red versus blue, Capitol Hill, White House. There’s so much more to it than that now.

Duke

So, the interdisciplinary nature of it reflects how politics is actually happening now and it also brings in a lot of diverse interests and people together to engage in politics.” Another way that POLIS has tried to engage with students is through the Political Leadership Council (PLC), which consists of student representatives from major political and identity groups on See POLIS on Page 5

Further reasons for Grace’s Café closing provided at DUSDAC Sarah Kerman The Chronicle Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee learned more about the reasons for the closing of Grace’s Café at its meeting Monday evening. The Central Campus eatery will close at the end of the semester due to expensive renovations required on the kitchen ventilation system and the opening of West Union June 1. More than 850 students have signed an online petition that describes Grace’s as “the only place on campus that came close to serving authentic Asian food at an affordable price” and asks Director of Dining Services Robert Coffey to keep the café open. Barbara Stokes, assistant director of dining operations, said Grace’s started as a small coffee shop and expanded its Jessica Williams | The Chronicle operations over the years to include the restaurant offerings, Student responses to the recently-announced closing of Grace’s but was not properly equipped for the expansion. “The hoods that were in that location weren’t built for were among the topics discussed at DUSDAC Monday.

The University is considering converting the space to either office or classroom space, Stokes said. Senior JP Lucaci, vice president of services for Duke Student Government, asked why the University is not covering the $500,000 in renovations the space would have required. DUSDAC chair Brian Taylor, a senior, noted that the long term plan was to move Grace’s or a similar style food option to West Union because of the looming renovation costs. A focus group comprised of DUSDAC and DSG members decided on two other vendors—Gyotaku and Ginger + Soy—instead of Grace’s after a menu-tasting competition. In other business: Devil’s Krafthouse, the main vendor in West Union, is slated to open Feb. 29 through March 5 to seniors only. It will open to the rest of the student body the following week. The rest of West Union is scheduled with a soft summer opening and a grand opening at the beginning of the next academic year. DUSDAC is planning to sample food trucks to see which trucks could be potential candidates for next year’s weekly food truck rotation. Taylor said it will be similar to the one held before the Old Duke concert last year. DUSDAC also reported that Marketplace renovations were completed, but the salad bar will not be ready this year because of shipping delays.

A rare copy of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln recently made its way to Duke’s campus. The document—one of nine produced in its fourth printing on Jan. 4, 1863, three days after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect—emancipated slaves in states rebelling against the Union. It is on loan from David Rubenstein, Trinity ’70 and chair of the Board of Trustees, who purchased the item for his personal collection. “We are very fortunate that Mr. Rubenstein decided to share this rare document with our community, we hope that as many people as possible will come and see it,” said John Gartrell, John Hope Franklin Research Center Curator at Duke University Libraries. “I think that this particular copy of the Proclamation, which was to be circulated to foreign ports, is important to understanding the global impact of emancipation in America and the reality of the crumbling institution of slavery around the world at that time.” The document is on display next to another document Rubenstein has loaned to the library—the Bay Psalm Book— which was published in 1640 and is believed to be the first book published in America. The Emancipation Proclamation will be on display in the Mary Duke Biddle Rare Book Room in the Rubenstein Library through at least April. In the recently-renovated Rubenstein library, the Mary Biddle Rare Book Room has been repurposed as a full-time exhibition suite, featuring the Josiah Charles Trent History of Medicine Room and Michael and Karen Stone Family Gallery. The room is open for visitors to see exhibits Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Naomi Nelson, director of the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, gave The Chronicle a special look at what she thinks are 11 of the most interesting items housed in the Rubenstein Library that are currently on display for students. Nelson declined to comment on the estimated value of the items, writing in an email that the importance of the exhibits is marked by their research and educational value rather than their price.

YT FINALISTS from page 1 A very different kind of process Adair explained that Riddell asked all three finalists to attend a meeting with him and Adair in which he made it clear that the candidates should not advocate on specific issues or develop a particular platform. Riddell said that while he did not forbid candidates from advocating their stances on issues during the meeting, he tried to explain that candidates would likely not be able to keep promises made during the campaign. “If somebody campaigns on a platform to achieve certain things when they’re a Young Trustee, that would be going about it the wrong way,” Riddell said. “That’s not what trustees are expected to do.” Rooney and Edwards attended the meeting, but Schreiber was not able to attend due to a scheduling conflict. Riddell sent his guidelines to all the candidates via email after the meeting, and Adair sent all candidates minutes of the meeting with Riddell. These guidelines have not been issued to candidates in previous Young Trustee elections. Adair said, however, that she and Riddell were hoping to change the tone of the Young Trustee campaign with alterations to the process. “This was a trial for this new, kind of wonky process,” Adair explained. “We did it very differently than we have in the past.” Varied responses to the guidelines Edwards has mentioned themes of diversity and inclusion during his campaign, but has mostly focused on his past experiences and qualifications. His campaign website lists four areas that he would focus on if elected, including “institutional advancement,” “gender-based violence and sexual assault,” “access and equity” and “diversity and inclusivity.” The original site did not elaborate on these points, although it was updated Monday to include more specific information on each area. Edwards discussed his plans if elected during a Duke Student Government Senate meeting last Wednesday, but for the most part spoke only in broad terms about the “Duke brand”— although he did express concerns about Duke Kunshan University. “Instead of people constantly saying, ‘What is Harvard doing?’ or ‘What is Stanford doing?’ or ‘They just had this program and we should do it here,’ I’d like to actually do the reverse of that,” Edwards said during the meeting. “Students should be saying, ‘Wow, did you just see the new initiative that Duke is doing,’ and using us as an institutional example.” Edwards explained that he has left his positions on specific issues vague because of the way that the Young Trustee role was outlined by Riddell. “[Riddell] sat down and he said, ‘This is not a DSG campaign. We don’t like the ways in which elections have been run in the past where students are making promises and running based on an agenda,’” Edwards said. He added that he also did not want to see the campaign become politicized or ideologically focused. “People try to make it about these political ideologies or what they’re assuming our political affiliations are, and it’s not about that,” Edwards said. “It’s about your ability to understand the nuances of the undergraduate experience and then translate that to the board.” In contrast, Rooney and Schreiber have laid out proposals outlining specific areas that they would focus on if elected to the Board. Both Rooney and Schreiber have large sections on their websites— each hundreds of words long—explaining what their priorities will be if chosen as Young Trustee. They also provided specifics on their platforms when talking to DSG last Wednesday. Rooney has spoken about his desire to see changes to Duke’s curriculum that allow students to ask thoughtful questions about purpose and core values. “We should also have major, minor, and certificate options in ‘liberal studies,’ ‘intellectual

history,’ or ‘Great Books’ that one can choose to explore the varied facets of an integrated theme of knowledge,” he writes on his website. Rooney said that he is not running on a platform and is not looking to advocate any specific issue. “I want to be as clear as possible that I am not pushing any political platform or agenda,” he said. Instead, Rooney explained that his intention is to provide ideas that fit with his vision of the direction that the University should take. He said that he is not “wedded” to any particular idea that he had proposed. “These are just ideas,” he said. “This is not a specific issue on campus right now.” Schreiber has taken the most vocal and public approach to his Young Trustee campaign by voicing specific stances on the housing model, free expression at the University and Duke Kunshan University, among other things. His website lists detailed positions on these issues and outlines what he would advocate for on the Board if elected. At the DSG Senate meeting last Wednesday, Schreiber also took strong positions on specific issues. “If a replacement for the housing model comes up, to implement a residential college model, I will fight tooth and nail to ensure that doesn’t happen,” Schreiber said at the meeting. “Students run social life better than faculty and [residence coordinators] and [resident assistants].” Like Rooney, Schreiber insisted that he is not running a campaign based on an agenda or platform, even though he has specific positions on the housing model and intolerance clauses. “I’m not advocating a policy. I’m giving my perspective on what I believe is best for the University,” Schreiber explained. “I don’t have a platform. It’s a list of priorities.” Schreiber said that he saw his advocacy on issues that are relevant to undergraduates as a valid focus of his campaign. He explained that although a focus on issues was not necessarily what the administration wanted in the campaign, he felt that the election should be focused on issues relevant to undergraduates. “As much as Duke wants to make this a resume election, this is an issue election,” Schreiber argued. “The Board of Trustees, fundamentally, sets the direction for the University, and it’s the responsibility of myself, Jamal and Wills, I believe, to make sure we’re crystal clear about which direction we believe the University should be headed.” Schreiber added that he would be at a disadvantage if he campaigned on his qualifications alone. “If this is going to be about who has the most impressive resume, I’m going to lose,” he said. “But if this is going to be about who understands the priorities of the undergraduate population and it becomes an issue based election, that’s how I stand a shot at differentiating myself.” Rooney and Schreiber have also publicly attacked the Black Student Alliance for what they saw as an unethical Young Trustee endorsement process. Schreiber in particular has used caustic language to criticize the BSA endorsement process, calling it “Kabuki theater” and accusing the BSA of “Boss Tweed style tactics.” Edwards criticized Schreiber and Rooney for their public criticism of BSA, which he said they did without notifying or consulting him. He expressed disappointment that a large portion of the campaign had, in his view, become focused on the public statement against BSA issued by Schreiber and Rooney. “They’ve taken up the space around what the Young Trustee should be about, and they made it about very petty logistics about getting an endorsement or not,” Edwards said. “It’s not about that, and so for me, it wasn’t worth commenting on that because that’s not what this election is about.” He added that he felt the other candidates in the race had failed to keep a broad perspective about the role of Young Trustees. “It’s not just about winning,” Edwards said. “It’s about what the actual role is.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

‘MATURING’ BLUE DEVILS STAND TALL Meredith Cash The Chronicle

Last year’s historic season ultimately resulted in Duke’s fifth national championship, but it’s easy to forget that the 2014-15 season was not free of some of the woes that have plagued this year’s Blue Devil squad. Last year’s star-studded group won its first 14 games of the season before faltering just a few miles from home against unranked N.C. State and then falling hard at home against a talented but underrated Miami team just two days later. After the surprise skid, the Blue Devils took time to regroup and focus on the future of the team. The result? A decisive 11-point victory against No. 6 Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center that—in retrospect—marked a decisive turning point in Duke’s season. So perhaps Monday’s seven-point victory against this year’s edition of the highly-regarded Cardinals will—in foresight—mark a critical turning point in the Blue Devils’ season once again. “I think we really needed a win like this,” sophomore Grayson Allen said. “Each game, we’re building. I think it could have been really easy for us with the losing streak we’ve been on to be happy with our past win [against N.C. State], and with a quick turnaround as well, it can be hard to look past that. I think we did a good job preparing for this game, and it was a really big one in front of our home crowd.” The Blue Devils’ 72-65 win was their first against a ranked opponent this season, but Duke will have no shortage of opportunities to add to that number in the next two weeks. After righting the ship last week with wins at Georgia Tech and against the Wolfpack, Duke continued to make strides without injured senior captain Amile Jefferson heading into its most grueling stretch of the season. There is no sight of relief after notching a win against the Cardinals, because No. 7 Virginia comes to Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday afternoon, followed by a short road trip to No. 9 North Carolina Feb. 17 and a return trip to Louisville Feb. 20. This stretch could make or break the Blue Devils’ season. Players, coaches and fans knew it to be true as tip-off neared Monday. It was a given, then, that there would be a lot of pressure on a young Duke team—which has suffered three of its four ACC defeats by five points or less—that had come up short down the stretch in games past. What was less certain, though, was how the young, depth-strapped Blue Devils would respond to that pressure. But Duke’s freshmen delivered big play after big play

throughout the second half, carrying the Blue Devils to a win. At first, the outcome appeared certain in early in the second half as Duke built a 15-point lead, but it suddenly hung squarely in the balance when the Cardinals grabbed a 58-57 edge with 6:12 to go. Brandon Ingram scored 14 of his 18 points after intermission—including six critical free throws down the stretch while serving as the team’s primary ball-handler—and Luke Kennard poured in six points immediately after Louisville rattled off a 15-2 run to crawl within one earlier in the half. Derryck Thornton only scored four points, but the Chatsworth, Calif., native delivered the back-breaking bucket with a shot-clock-beating bank shot with 33 seconds remaining. “They keep growing up and they keep playing hard,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “They’re getting older, not necessarily in age but in experience.” In what was arguably Duke’s most impressive and most hardfought win of the season, every Blue Devil put his grit on full display to secure the victory despite giving up a 15-point lead

The most convincing aspect of this win—aside from Ingram’s total command of the game in the final minutes—was the entire team’s ability to stand strong in the face of adversity that, as recently as two weeks ago, could have buckled the Blue Devils and sent them to another loss on the back end of a Saturday-Monday turn-around. Duke still has some growing up to do—with or without the return of Jefferson—but Monday’s victory was an indication that the Blue Devils have learned from their four losses in five games and grown through the process. The short bench may just be finding the footing it has been desperately looking for all season long—and it may be blossoming just in time. “We’re all playing so well together right now, and we’re growing up as a team,” Kennard said. “We’re maturing individually and as a group together. We’re playing well together and we’re all in. We listen to what the coaches say and we just buy in. When we do that—when we play well together and share the ball and get stops on defense to let our offense take over—we can be a pretty good team.”

Blue Devils bounce back from first loss A final ride for Manning?

Motin Yeung | The Chronicle Duke junior Alyssa Smith teamed with classmate Chalena Scholl to knock off their Vanderbilt counterparts in doubles action Friday, but it did not prevent the Commodores from capturing the doubles point.

David Rieder The Chronicle After an early setback, Duke rallied to post one of its most impressive performances of the young season. The No. 14 Blue Devils went 2-1 on the weekend at the ITA Women’s National Team Indoor Championship in Madison, Wis. The team suffered first loss of the DUKE 0 its season Friday in a VANDY 4 matchup against No. 1 Vanderbilt, DUKE 4 losing 4-0, but FRESNO 0 Duke bounced back to sweep DUKE 4 both Fresno State 0 Saturday and A&M No. 9 Texas A&M Sunday in consolation play. “After losing a tough match to Vanderbilt, we talked about not feeling sorry for ourselves, coming out the next day and being ready to play,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth told GoDuke.com. “I thought that we got better as the weekend went on. We have to get better when we’re playing three straight days in a tournament situation like this.” In its upset bid against the defending national champions, Duke (6-1) took the Commodores (5-1) to the third doubles match to decide the opening point. After senior Beatrice Capra and freshman Ellyse Hamlin fell to Vanderbilt’s Courtney Colton and Sydney Campbell 1-6, Blue Devil juniors Alyssa Smith and Chalena Scholl downed the Commodores’ Frances Altick and Georgina Sellyn 6-1 to even things up. But in a tight, back-and-forth affair, Duke’s Kaitlyn McCarthy and Samantha Harris fell 6-7 to the Vanderbilt tandem of Astra Sharma and Ellie Yates. Duke could not regain momentum in singles when its two best players

took early losses that doomed the team’s hopes. McCarthy lost for just the third time all season to Sharma 4-6, 2-6, and Capra could not do any better as Campbell won their match 6-3, 6-1. Harris’ 4-6, 4-6 loss to Colton iced the decision for Vanderbilt. Duke rebounded quickly just a day later in the win against Fresno State (3-3). McCarthy and Harris posted a 6-0 shutout of Sophie Watts and Anneka Watts in doubles, and Capra and Hamlin also got a 6-4 win against the Bulldogs’ Mayar Sherif Ahmed and Rana Sherif Ahmed. The Blue Devils then received dominant singles performances from Scholl, Harris and McCarthy, who lost only eight combined games en route to three straight-set victories to clinch the win. Sunday provided more of the same

against the Aggies (4-3). Scholl and Smith beat Texas A&M’s Domenica Gonzalez and Saska Gavrilovska 6-1, and McCarthy and Harris won 6-4 against Rutuja Bhosale and Anna Mamalat to secure the doubles point. For the second day in a row, Duke won three consecutive singles matches in straight sets to secure the win, this one an upset against the higherranked Aggies. Scholl beat Bhosale 6-1, 6-3 to open the singles finishes, and then McCarthy won for the 19th time this season in a 6-3, 6-0 victory against Rachel Pierson. Harris defeated Eva Paalma 6-2, 6-4 to bring the match to an end. The Blue Devils now have a twoweek break before hosting Texas Feb. 21 at noon.

Chris Dieckhaus | The Chronicle Senior Beatrice Capra and doubles partner Ellyse Hamlin helped Duke get off to a fast start Saturday against Fresno State.

In sports, rarely does the fairy-tale ending come true. In the NBA, LeBron James returned to the shores of Lake Erie to lead his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers to their first NBA title— until they ran into the buzz-saw that is the Golden State Warriors. In Sameer Pandhare baseball, the New York Mets made everyone believers, until they met their match in the World Series against the Kansas City Royals. But after 39-year old Peyton Manning came away with his second Super Bowl in a season-ending run fit for a Disney movie, the Denver Broncos quarterback has a chance to exit on top—and he shouldn’t hesitate. In fact, Manning may have already missed on the chance to make his exit all the more grand with an announcement following the game, somewhere between meeting the founder of Papa Johns and announcing his intentions to kiss his wife and drink Budweiser. The veteran signal-caller has proved everything he needs to prove, so it’s time for Manning to take a play from Marshawn Lynch’s book and kiss his cleats goodbye. Growing up rooting for the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback in his numerous matchups against Tom Brady, I couldn’t help but admire Manning’s ability to beat teams not with rapid-fire velocity and superior arm strength, but with an uncanny ability to make the right play. Manning was the quarterback friends aimed to be in backyard flag-football games with his bullet-point accuracy leaving defenses helpless. Throughout this season, much of what I loved about the now twotime Super Bowl champion was gone. Manning’s accuracy was replaced by wobbling footballs that took what felt like ages to drop into receivers’ hands. He finished second in the league in regular season interceptions and struggled to move the ball downfield. Manning had his series of Nationwide commercials, but he also seemed to face a ticking clock for when he would be pulled off the field. But for once, things broke the right way for the future Hall of Famer, who, after Sunday’s win, sports just a 14-13 playoff record. And sitting here today, gone are the memories of Manning dropping a home Wild Card game to Mark Sanchez in 2011 or throwing a game-ending interception against the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. The veteran saved his toughest run to the Lombardi Trophy for last, as he toppled rivals Ben Roethlisberger and Brady—who own six Super Bowl rings between them—to reach the title game.

between Duke’s 84.8 points scored per game and the Cardinals’ 59.8 points allowed per contest. The decisive surprise was Duke’s rebounding. Taking on the No. 9 team in the country in rebounding and playing with a small lineup for much of the night, the hosts outrebounded the Cardinals 33-32. Ingram stepped up for a game-high 10 rebounds—recording his fifth double-double of the season— and Louisville center Chinanu Onuaku suffered through one of his poorest outings of the year—three turnovers, three rebounds and two points in 22 minutes. Duke took a 35-24 lead into the locker room thanks to fearless play of Allen, who knocked down his first three 3-point attempts of the game and added a fourth on the Blue Devils’ opening possession of the second half. But the Jacksonville, Fla., native did damage from elsewhere too, on one play driving relentlessly to the goal, drawing a bump on Mahmoud before tossing up a shot for an 3-point play that gave Duke an 18-12 lead. The Duke defense delivered one of its best performances of ACC play Monday, holding Lee and Lewis to 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting in the first half. Louisville finished the first half shooting 31.3 from the field, but freshman Donovan Mitchell picked up the slack—scoring 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting. The Blue Devils needed more than

Plumlee was solid in the paint—the graduate student finished the game with 10 points and eight rebounds—and Jones scored all eight of his points in the second half. Thornton played gritty defense, and Luke Kennard finished with 11 points, teaming with Ingram to score 11 of Duke’s next 12 points after the Cardinals trimmed the lead to 44-43. “They’re becoming ‘this Duke team,’ whatever that is,” Krzyzewski said. Duke’s four-game gauntlet continues Saturday, when the Blue Devils welcome No. 7 Virginia to Cameron Indoor Stadium at 4:30 p.m.

Manning’s road to recovery from multiple neck surgeries and perseverance when things looked bleak is an inspiration that not even HGH allegations can cloud. The quarterback’s success can be attributed to the hours spent watching film and working with receivers to perfect every little route and break so that even his floaters make it to open targets.

As for the Broncos, it’s hard to imagine they would clamor for Manning to come back unless he accepts a role on the sidelines as a backup. General manager John Elway—who himself rode off into the sunset after winning Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999—has shown his ability to make franchisealtering decisions and handing the keys to Osweiler, an unrestricted freeagent-to-be, is an opportunity he can’t pass up. Now, we’ll certainly see Manning once again next season. For his sake, I hope it’s on a commercial for Papa Johns or Nationwide instead of on the football field.

caller is likely to spend most of his time handing the ball off. The quarterback reportedly made an emotional speech to his teammates before Sunday’s victory, and with people more acknowledging of recent success, Manning has likely blunted the memories of missing the Super Bowl in his first eight campaigns and his oft-maligned struggles in cold weather. In addition to becoming the oldest quarterback in NFL history to win the title, Manning also ended the perpetual joke of his younger brother Eli winning more Lombardi Trophies, and evened the AFC Championship Game ledger against Brady.

A step toward quiet reflection

hough Duke has been affected across campus by seemingly endless construction, no project has been planned, approved and executed as quickly or painlessly as the interfaith prayer room in Keohane 4B, which had its grand opening last week. Dubbed The Mosaic and nestled in a former computer lab, the room features prayer mats and different religious texts, blank walls facing east toward Jerusalem and northeast toward Mecca and space to store shoes while in the room. The Mosaic is a great effort by Housing, Dining and Resident Life, answering student demand for quiet and reflective spaces on campus. Adorned with student-painted artwork and new furniture, the prayer room gives students the opportunity to take a step back from the loud hustle and bustle of campus life. Some students used to find time to pause in the Chapel’s many pews before its year-long closing for roof renovations. Now, the Mosaic provides spiritual comfort at any hour for students of any denomination or for students who simply need a space for meditation and clearing their minds. But the problem of relaxation runs deeper. Many student view their options for

“Of course it will take time to reach the ultimate vision (as with any new university), but it’s off to an incredible start and is gaining traction quickly in China. Personally, I am excited to see where this venture goes in the future, and feel honored to have been a part of that journey.” — “Ibanca” commenting on the Feb. 8 guest column “Demystifying Duke Kunshan”

stress relief as limited to nights out, denial of their workload through hours of Netflix or something that takes more effort, like going to CAPS. The Mosaic encourages alternative solutions in mindfulness practices, meditation and allowing oneself to be unplugged for a short while, all of which benefit physical and mental health. It is for this reasons that hospitals have had interfaith reflection spaces for the longest time for patients to use.

Editorial This is not to say other spaces for prayer and reflection do not exist on campus, but The Mosaic is unique in its accessibility. For example, the Hindu and Buddhist prayer rooms are tucked away under the greenhouse behind the Bryan Center, while the Center for Muslim Life is located on Swift Avenue. These spaces, as well as their religious leaders, serve important roles on campus and do make an effort to provide great programming for students. Hopefully these organizations will seize on the opportunity presented by The Mosaic to host guided meditations, even branching into

scheduling similar programming in regular residential common rooms. Additionally, consideration should be given to building a similar space on East Campus for first-year students, especially given their unique social and academic crises coming out of high school. For instance, a meditative area would align well with the purpose of Jarvis’s wellness focus. Furthermore, Resident Assistants could be allocated funding for programs that focus on personal wellness and self-care. Academically, Duke can address stress management through house courses that address healthy ways to achieve quiet thought while living in a dorm. The Duke Experience class in the first curriculum proposal this year also presents an opportunity to get students in the habit of reflecting on their experiences, an important life skill. Students will benefit from a culture that sees spiritual spaces as beneficial and not a strange, uncool way of dealing with stress. The search by students for quiet spaces certainly parallels the desire on campuses for safe spaces. Self-care and how students maintain themselves during these years has a great influence on how they go on to deal with difficult situations later in life.

very four years, Americans have the opportunity to elect a new leader into the most powerful seat of government. This election, as with many elections, has made Americans once again believe that the world is crumbling around us. Rallying cries to recreate America to what it once was and to go back to the glory days of American hegemony are ubiquitous, with candidates calling on voters’ sense of nostalgia. The presidential election cycle elicits an incredible surge in political media activity, sending the entire country into political overdrive. The impact of the election is impossible to avoid, with talks about the election occurring formally on campus and passionate conversations about candidates

a great deal of negativity to the campaign energy, firing insults left and right. Bill Clinton just released a sharp attack on Bernie Sanders, whom he portrayed as dishonest. So who do we blame for this ugly, negative energy? For the fragmentation and radicalization? I think that the party divides and ideological battles that are happening can be explained by media overexposure. Candidates are constantly on the campaign trail on television, interviews, radios and participating in political debates, which are forcing each candidate to move further and further to the extreme points in order to differentiate themselves. Politicians are being forced to carve out a unique niche for themselves on every issue while party and American unity dies.

Shruti Rao TAMING OF THE SHRU floating around the Bryan Center and Von der Heyden over coffee. Presidential elections are serious business, and it seems understandable that the elections grab so much attention. This election, however, has made me feel a bit uneasy. I initially struggled to think of what it was that was troubling me. Was it Donald Trump? Was it the fact that I couldn’t rely on Jon Stewart to so beautifully and hilariously make sense of the drama? Or perhaps it was the hard hitting issues like increasing inequality, a shrinking middle class and foreign policy threats like ISIS that made me feel a new sense of urgency. It was actually while listening to a conversation about Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders that I realized what bothered me about the current election: the fragmentation. We often hear this narrative that the Tea Party has hijacked the Republican Party. Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are criticized as right-wing extremists that have limited abilities to cater to the entire country. However, the amount of support that they have garnered over more moderate candidates such as Jeb Bush or John Kasich seems to provide evidence to the contrary. Perhaps rather than a hijacking of the Republican party, we are witnessing an ideological transformation. This urgency is not one-sided. The political scene between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders has become a tense, raging battle. Bernie Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, who both appears to be focusing in on a few key issues and garners the support of young Americans. Hillary Clinton is the longtime Washingtonian—an experienced policy wonk who relies heavily on support from women. The debate between the two candidates has become a fierce argument over who is more progressive. Combined with the rise of urgency, we’re also witnessing a rise in animosity. Obviously Donald Trump is his own phenomenon, but he has certainly contributed

The candidates have a pivotal role, but the media is the silent endorser of this movement. The media’s constant, never-ending, 24/7 obsession with parsing every last word of every last sentence has trivialized this election. Rather than acting as a serious platform in which the American people have a chance to participate in the great democratic tradition of electing a new leader, the campaign has become a circus. Candidates are not treated as future representatives and leaders of the free world but rather as pawns in a game show who are pitted against one another, whose tweets and videos are used as fodder for conspiracy theories and dramatic headlines. Turning the presidential election into a game show may be profitable and interesting to the media, but it ultimately does a great disservice to the American people. An incredible example of this is Donald Trump. At the beginning of the election, the media obsessed over him. His campaign rarely spent on advertising, and every ridiculous, hateful, misinformed sentence that came out of his mouth was covered. His presence in the election was overemphasized and exaggerated, which in turn gave his campaign an undeserved legitimacy. His presence in the election now is formidable, largely egged on in the early stages by media outlets. Animosity may be good politics, but it isn’t good practice. The trivialization of elections from the media may be inevitable, but it is up to us to recognize the serious nature of this election and to bring dignity and respect back into American politics. Restoring integrity into the election doesn’t have to be at a grand scale. It starts on campus, over a cup of coffee in Vondy, when your conversations about the election become a haven of listening, sharing and thinking—which is a sharp contrast to what is playing our on the national stage.

Leave the demands in 1969 When a group of students protested in the Allen Building on February 13, 1969, they released 10 requests titled “The Black Demands.” The list of demands was developed by this early generation of activists and it yielded some good results. Duke now has a fully accredited African and African-American Studies Department, for example. This medium for public discourse is

not going to happen. There is a problem. It’s us. Unless we change, no candidate can get anything done. Our government reflects its citizens. Congress won’t compromise because we won’t. Sure, SuperPACs, rampant gerrymandering and special interests are obstacles. At the end of the day, though, we buy in. We the people are not slaves of the system. We are the system. I’m talking to you, Bernie Bro clogging my Facebook feed. And you, wise conservative sharing profundities like “all lives matter.” And you, leftist college columnist dropping sick burns on those racist free-speechers. You are all part of this. I am too. I am the radical centrist know-it-all. I play the game. We all do. We sleep at night by telling ourselves we are independent thinkers. Then, we get up in the morning and read our lines right from the page. I say I am open to challenge, but when push comes to shove, I often stop listening. I react. “How could someone think THAT?” runs through my mind as I jump on the defensive. The evidence is clear: ideology, childhood experiences and values together shape our thinking. If you’re liberal, you’re probably motivated by equity. If you’re conservative, it’s proportionality—reaping what you sow. Everything we see is filtered through the lens of our existing beliefs, beliefs we sometimes haven’t even consciously chosen. Today, we’ve let our ideology become our identity. “I am a progressive” and “I am a conservative” are now rallying cries for two radically different American visions. Once we pick a side, we risk losing our ability to think freely. We become part of the group. Then we must seek conformity with ingroup members and seek conflict with those outside. Stanford Political Scientist Shanto Iyengar argues that such political tribalism is on the rise. He found that, in 1960, only 4 percent of Democrats and 5 percent of Republicans would be displeased if a child married outside the party. In 2010, those numbers were 33 and 49 percent. A 2014 Pew Research study showed the same trend. 38 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of Republicans reported very unfavorable attitudes of the other, up from 16 and 17 percent in 1994. This pattern is obvious now that political ads look like professional

his credit, Sanders admits this). Our political system is designed to ensure that a president can’t unilaterally push an agenda. That’s not a bad thing: imagine if all the important progressive legislation of the last 200 years could be repealed on an executive whim. Where would we be then? Let’s say Trump or Sanders does get elected and passes legislation in a series of split party-line votes. That’s no way to create lasting change, dragging half the country kicking and screaming. Sometimes that is the only option, but that’s certainly not how to capture hearts and minds. Doing that requires listening to the other side. And listening requires accepting some cognitive dissonance. That’s the feeling we get when we think something that conflicts with our identity. It happens to be an extremely powerful motivator in political decision making. We can’t stand it because we’ve predicated part of ourselves on our politics. Thus we cocoon ourselves in private echo chambers full of people who think like we do. It’s comforting to know the world is ordered the way we say it is. It’s downright scary to realize it might not be. Instead of running from being wrong, let’s embrace it. Instead of telling others what they should do, let’s ask them what they believe and why. I used to have heated political arguments with my roommates. One day during a gun control dispute, I tried something new. I admitted I didn’t know the answer. I started asking questions. I asked if it were possible that their thinking was colored, like mine, by what they wanted to believe. Suddenly, we were having a conversation. We never had another debate. If we want the atmosphere to improve, we must stop playing the game. We must stop sharing outrage-inducing clickbait and trying to score political points against the other team. Most of all, we must drop our political identities. Let’s be human beings working for a better future, not “progressives” or “conservatives.” Let’s do that. Let’s listen to each other. Let’s change. Then, maybe, our government will too.

making a resurgence on college campuses across the country. Lists of student demands have been published at more than 70 colleges and universities from Yale to UC Berkeley. At Duke, we’ve seen two noteworthy lists: “The Demands of Black Voices” released Nov. 20, 2015, and the list of demands published by Mi Gente in The Chronicle Jan. 25, 2016. As members of the Duke Open Campus Coalition, we have great reservations about lists of demands as a productive medium for public discourse today. A “demand” is a request made when an individual or group feels that something owed them—a thing, or a right—is denied. Demands are justified, perhaps necessary, when an established right is being violated. For example, The Black Demands of 1969 demanded equal police protection for black students, a right which was guaranteed but not upheld by Duke administration. Today, the situation is completely different. The Demands of Black Students and Mi Gente are not requests that Duke uphold the basic rights of students of color. A fully staffed Latinx cultural center may be a benefit, but it is not a right. It seems to us that both the Demands of Black Voices and Mi Gente request items not guaranteed to students as a right, even though they may be beneficial. For instance, both demand new hiring practices to ensure the ethnic diversity of Duke faculty and staff. Mi Gente called for “increasing Latinx faculty members in every academic and student affairs department,” while the Demands of Black Voices also requested that the university “attain representation of women and professors of color in regular ranked and tenured faculty positions equal to their representation in the student population by 2020.” These do not tweak existing policy. They propose a new core objective in hiring faculty: ethnic diversity. Currently, the Mission Statement for Duke University requires that we choose “individuals of outstanding character, ability, and vision to serve as its officers, trustees and faculty.” We all agree that faculty and administration must be of sound character and among the most qualified in their field. We too agree that Duke benefits from a more diverse student body and faculty. There is no need to debate the merits of diversity in the academy. Students do not yet agree that a diverse faculty is a right. Students do not know whether the University can construct Ted Yavuzkurt is a Trinity senior. His diversity in a way that is manageable and column runs on alternate Tuesdays. If you beneficial. We all have many basic questions: have a comment for him, he can be reached at Why is there a lack of diversity in the faculty? How can we hire more faculty of color and tdy@duke.edu.

be sure that we hire the best in the field? How could we coordinate this effort across Duke’s twelve schools and institutes and nearly 3,500 faculty members? How quickly could this be done? The fact is that not all students are empowered to ask these questions of those making the demands. Skepticism from any side is characterized as ignorance. Honest questions from students are met with

condescension and judgment. Students of color who have doubts about these demands are afraid to voice their opinions lest they seem unsupportive. We feel, quite simply, that this undermines our university’s commitment to “free and open inquiry.” In the end, the issue today is not that the administration ignores student demands. The issue is that students are making demands rather than making their case. Demands will continue to be met with a lukewarm response—by both administrators and students—until those making the demands can engage with the questions and critiques of the larger student body. Students should make proposals backed by thorough research, offer specific recommendations that can be put into practice and subject their ideas to campus-wide debate. As members of the Duke Open Campus Coalition, we applaud Mi Gente’s effort to make the student body aware of one particularly unjust expectation that Mi Gente fund the Latino Student Recruitment Weekend. Previously unaware of this, we enthusiastically support their efforts to rectify it. We do not support their issuing of ten far-reaching demands because we do not believe that lists of demands have a place in the conversation today. Demands do not answer people’s questions because they suggest that the answers are already clear. Worse, demands guarantee further tension and mistrust between students and the administration. Even when the demands are impractical, students can blast the administration for being negligent when the demands remain unmet. A list of demands assumes that all other channels of communication have been exhausted. This is not the case. The Task Force on Bias and Hate Issues commissioned in 2015 is scheduled to make its initial report to President Brodhead in April. The administration is opening new channels such as this task force to address inequities on campus. It is counterproductive to dismiss it as “another committee designed for the sole purpose of discarding student demands” before we know what changes, if any, it brings. In the meantime, we look forward to hearing from students with experiences and opinions different than ours. We know Duke can be a more equitable place, and we hope to discuss any substantive proposal to this end. Until students are willing to engage in open conversation with their classmates, we kindly ask that they leave the list of demands in 1969.
