Gloria Steinem says ‘we are linked, not ranked’ by Danielle Muoio THE CHRONICLE

IZZI CLARK/THE CHRONICLE

Feminist activist Gloria Steinem spoke at the Duke Chapel as part of the Baldwin Scholars’ Jean Fox O’Barr Distinguished Speaker Series Tuesday evening.

Feminist activist Gloria Steinem asked a sold-out crowd in the Duke Chapel to begin making the link between what happens in daily life and local communities to issues of state, national and even global importance. Steinem came to Duke Tuesday through the Jean Fox O’Barr distinguished speaker series, an annual event hosted by the Baldwin Scholars program. Much of Steinem’s lecture focused on how making connections can allow people to “see the world more wholly.” By connecting the way in which our everyday surroundings can contribute to larger societal issues, people can begin to come up with “positive, practical solutions,” she said. Becoming linked to the natural world then allows people to see there is no such thing as a hierarchy or pyramid, but a circle, she added. “There is no such thing as gender, race or class,” she said. “They are cultural inventions.... We are linked, not ranked.” After graduating Smith College in 1956 as a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Steinem spent two years in India on a Chester Bowles Fellowship writing for Indian publications. She then helped See STEINEM, page 3

Alumni recall violent encounter with Kansas City shooter years ago by Emma Baccellieri THE CHRONICLE

For two Duke alumni, the shootings at Jewish community centers in Kansas City last weekend had an unusual significance. As reporters for The Chronicle in the 1980s, Robert Satloff and Shep Moyle interviewed the alleged shooter, Frazier Glenn Miller, for a piece examining the local presence of the Ku Klux Klan. But the interview turned into something more daunting when Miller discovered

that Satloff is Jewish—resulting in Satloff being locked in a hot car under armed guard for two and a half hours while Moyle interviewed Miller, surrounded by a circle of followers carrying guns. The pair recalled the encounter more than three decades later, noting with regret that Miller apparently had not changed over the years. “I was stunned by the coincidence that in a country full of 350 million people—with more than its fair share of crazies—the same person I had met so

many years ago was behind this horrible shooting,” Satloff, Trinity ’83, said. Miller allegedly shot a boy and his grandfather outside a Jewish community center and a woman at a Jewish assisted living facility, both near Kansas City, Kan., Sunday afternoon. Miller was said to be shouting pro-Nazi phrases at the time of the shooting. Satloff noted that before the interview, Miller— the Grand Dragon of the KKK’s Carolina Knights at the time— instructed him not to bring any black

or Jewish reporters or photographers. Satloff decided to go to the interview regardless, taking several precautions for safety—wearing a cross around his neck, manufacturing a press pass that used the name Robert Statler, Jr. and bringing along a fellow reporter who met Miller’s qualifications. But Miller’s first words to Satloff were, “Are you a Jew?” and he refused to believe anything to the contrary, Satloff

Q &A

interim parking director talks transition and challenges Effective April 1, Melissa Harden took over as interim Director of Parking and Transportation from Sam Veraldi, who assumed the position of visiting associate professor in the Markets and Managements Studies program. But the change made a small staff even smaller—with Harden still fulfilling the duties of her former position as Assistant Director for Strategies and two assistant director positions vacant, she said the staff has pitched in to overcome the staff shortage. The Chronicle’s Hailey Cunningham spoke with Harden about the transition. The Chronicle: Can you describe your role prior to becoming the interim director? Melissa Harden: I was the Assistant Director for Strategies for the parking section. I oversaw our two major projects—restoration of Parking Garage II [off of Erwin Road] and improving the parking access revenue control system, which is replacing all of the gates and the parking systems. So my plate was pretty full even before all of this change. TC: Do you know what the status of your position as interim director is? MH: They’re doing a national search for a permanent solution. [I’ll be in the position] as long as it takes to find a viable candidate. [Vice President for Administration] Mr. [Kyle] Cavanaugh told me to plan on between six and nine

months. TC: What do you hope to do in your time as director? MH: One of the things that we are focusing on now is just making some very noticeable changes and improvements throughout campus. For instance, last Saturday [April 12], we renovated the [Graduate Center] lot, which is on Trent Drive. It had some potholes, some crumbling areas and just problematic areas, which had needed to be addressed for years. Since, we have already received some very positive feedback from people who park in that lot and who had complained about the condition of the lot for years. Also the bus stops... have tape and flyers that have been up the last five years, so we’re going to come in this summer and get all of that gunk and goo off of those— just more noticeable beautification projects and things that that will make the user experience more positive. As well as moving these projects along and getting as much work as we can accomplish done this summer, while the students are away, we’re moving full speed ahead. TC: What are your biggest challenges in coming to the job? MH: Just doing the work of two See PARKING, page 12

New representatives, renovation and resolutions at final GPSC meeting by Patricia Spears THE CHRONICLE

The Graduate and Professional Student Council elected the remaining half of council positions, received updates on renovations to Duke University Libraries and approved new resolutions at their final meeting Tuesday. Invited speaker Aaron Wellborn, director of communications for Duke Libraries, gave updates on the Rubenstein Library, the Perkins Library entrance closure and the conversion of the first floor of Bostock to a Research Commons. Wellborn also discussed the possibility of a larger graduate student reading room. “We know there is a big demand for a dedicated space for graduate students, who spend a lot more time in the library than most people,” Wellborn said. Wellborn added that if funds become available, renovations would also be made to Lilly Library. GPSC unanimously passed the 2014 Campout Policy—guidelines on how graduate students line up for basketball games-as presented by Basketball Committee co-Chair Ben Gaines, a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in mathematics. Changes included the creation of an advisory committee including representatives from Parking and Transportation, graduate students and the administration. Gaines said the date and location for the campout have yet to be determined and will have to be added to the policy

at a later date. The area usually used has been converted into a gravel parking lot and can no longer be used for tenting. The council approved a resolution to support the inclusion of an optional question to disclose LGBT status on graduate school applications. Justin Stambaugh, second-year doctor of physical therapy student and president of the Duke Physical Therapy GayStraight Alliance, said he hopes that the inclusion of the optional question will lead members of the LGBT community to feel sought after for their diversity. In other business: Biomedical engineering Ph.D. candidate Devin Bridgen, GPSC representative to Parking and Transportation, updated the council on issues brought before the committee, including transportation demand management passes given to bike riders twice per year who need to use their cars for the day. The passes used to be on paper, but it was discovered that fraud, such as selling the passes on Craigslist, occurred frequently. Renovations to the GPSC house will cost an estimated $80,000. Funding will be sought from the University. The Social Committee will be hosting a celebration on undergraduate last day of classes from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Engineering Quadrangle. The celebration will include free t-shirts, food but not alcohol, as per University policy. The celebration will be for graduate students only.

steinem from page 1 found New York Magazine and spent several years working as a freelance writer. In 1972, Steinem also cofounded Ms. Magazine—which became the first national magazine to address domestic violence—and began a long career of feminist activism. Steinem has championed a variety of causes, such as rallying support for the Equal Rights Amendment, speaking out against animal cruelty and advocating for sexually abused children. In 1993, Steinem was inducted to the National Women’s Hall of Fame. Donna Lisker, co-director of the Baldwin Scholars and associate vice provost for undergraduate education, led the event, which was intended to commemorate the 10th year of the scholarship program. In addition to the Baldwin Scholars, the event was sponsored by the Muglia family, the women’s studies program, Duke Women’s Center and Omega Phi Beta sorority, Inc. Referring to macro issues such as domestic violence, Steinem noted that change cannot be made until attention is given to the factors that contribute to these problems and their prevalence in our everyday communities. Violence, for example, is linked to a human hierarchy that normalizes control, which exists in our personal spheres, she said. “We are never going to have a democratic society until we have democratic families,” Steinem explained. “We are never going to have a nonviolent society until we have nonviolent families.” Making connections between what occurs in our everyday surroundings and larger issues is key in beginning to see the way people can find solutions, she said.

www.dukechronicle.com

Steinem added that for all the media and political attention given to the subject of an economic stimulus, for example, few connect the way equal pay for women could stimulate the economy. “The single most important and effective economic stimulus would be equal pay for females. It would put $200 billion more in the economy every year,” she said. “Women are not going to put money in Swiss bank accounts, they are going to use it and stimulate the economy.” Steinem added, however, that there is no deeper connection than that between race and sex. “One of the great sorrows of my life was when 2008 somehow took us into a place where a common question among news reporters was, ‘What is more important, sex or race?’” she said. “That’s an obscene question....It puts in competition what is actually the shared group that can only be uprooted together.” Throughout the lecture, Steinem shared humorous anecdotes. Steinem told a story in which she heard a male passenger on a flight assert he did not want to see a “chick flick.” In this moment, Steinem said she realized men were missing the equivalent of a movie category that contained movies glorifying violence rather than interpersonal relationships. She decided to make a category known as “prick flicks,” which would contain movies on World War II, violence against women and the classics of John Wayne. While standing near the altar of the Duke Chapel, ironically, Steinem also deconstructed the historical modeling of churches’ architecture, stating that monotheistic churches are built to resemble the female body. The outer and

inner entrance resemble the labia majora and labia minora, respectively, the aisle represents the vaginal aisle and the altar represents the womb. “In the history of religious architecture they tell you that many monotheistic buildings are meant to resemble the bodies of women because central ceremonies of patriarchal religion is one in which men take over,” Steinem said. “Religion controls women’s bodies.” Following the lecture, Steinem fielded questions from the audience. Duke activist Jacob Tobia, a senior and Duke Student Government vice president for equity and outreach, asked what “we as a culture can do to bring up boys differently” so that “sissies can be happy.” Steinem said the best thing to do is to treat those men as humans and listen to them. “There’s nothing more radical than listening,” Steinem said. She added that she knows gender is a powerful force, but in real life there is no such thing. Senior Chelsea Pieroni asked Steinem what her thoughts were on Duke’s “oppressive social system,” pointing specifically to Greek life. Steinem said people do what they see, rather than what they are told and that the best way to combat issues within Duke’s social system is to lead by example. “The more examples people see of different ways of living the more able they are to make that choice,” Steinem said. Another student asked a question regarding the adult film actress in Duke’s freshman class, asking what Steinem’s stance was on the pornography industry. Steinem emphasized the difference between pornography and erotica and

wednesday, april 16, 2014 | 3

said the problem is the pornographic industry and not the woman. She chose not to comment on the Duke porn star, citing that she did not have enough information about the situation. “I worry when we begin to isolate the one person who isn’t in power,” Steinem said. In an interview with The Chronicle following the event, Steinem commented that the feminist movement has evolved over time. “Its beginnings were in peoples’ living rooms, and there was only one national organization and one national black feminist organization,” she said. “Now that there’s an organization built around each issue, it’s more deep and detailed.” In the future, she believes there will be stronger connections between the different issues of feminist organizations and that these issues will have further global reach. When asked whether she believes the Equal Rights Amendment will ever be ratified, Steinem said “yes, absolutely” and that there is a need to put women in the Constitution. Lisker added that she hopes the event inspired people to see that they can make changes in areas important to them. “Gloria Steinem is a fantastic example of a woman who simply keeps speaking up for social justice, year after year, and gradually over time contributes to significant social change,” she wrote in an email Tuesday. When asked what being a feminist meant to her, Steinem emphasized it meant recognizing the humanity of other human beings. “A feminist is someone who recognizes both their own full humanity and value as well as that of others,” she said.

Robert Satloff and Shep Moyle wrote about their encounter with Kansas City shooter Glenn Miller for The Chronicle in 1981.

sHOOteR from page 1 recounted in the article, titled “Jewish editor locked in car, guarded by armed Klansmen.” For two and a half hours, Satloff was locked in a hot car and kept under the watch of an armed guard led by a uniformed Nazi. “When you’re [college-aged], you think you’re indestructible and you do crazy things—some people jump off bridges to go diving, some people

trek across the Himalayas, and I did this,” Satloff said. “I always knew in retrospective when I got older that it was probably a stupid thing to do, but I never quite appreciated the danger of the risk until this weekend.” With Satloff locked away, his colleague Moyle, Trinity ’84 and a current member of the Board of Trustees, conducted the interview with Miller. The article, “Grand Dragon vows all-white nation in the Carolinas,” ran alongside Satloff’s description of the day’s events and shows

Miller as an intensely racist and violent anti-Semite. “First, I was frightened for my friend [Satloff], but second—to be 18 years old and confronted by this kind of hatred and anti-Semitism was something I certainly was not prepared for,” Moyle said. Even 30 years later, Moyle recalled Miller’s intensity, noting that Miller did not break eye contact with him once during the two and a half hour interview. Miller was articulate and even

charismatic, Moyle noted. “To see that now, 33 years later, someone could carry that hate, that vitriol, that anti-Semitism with him and act upon it at the age of 73—it’s scary, and so very sad,” Moyle said. Miller will be charged with hate crimes for last weekend’s shootings, which resulted in three deaths. “I just feel horribly sad that this guy never got stopped in all those years,” Satloff said.

Duke to close regular season at UNC

Tobacco Road rivals square off for postseason seeding by Nick Martin The ChroniCle

Save the best for last. That’s what the schedule dictated for Duke when it drew north Carolina for the final game on its regular-season No. 10 schedule. The no. Duke 10 Blue Devils— vs. who have struggled No. 3 in their past four UNC games—will look to WEDNESDAY, 7 p.m. head into the postKenan Stadium season on a high note when they take the short ride down Tobacco road to face the no. 3 Tar heels Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Kenan Stadium. “What we’re searching for is a consistency in our performance,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “For a couple of games, our defense was not steady. We felt like last weekend we were better defensively but we committed 20 turnovers. That can’t happen against ACC teams.”

Former Blue Devils Tyler Thornton, Todd Zafirovski, Andre Dawkins and Josh Hairston are traveling with the 36th annual ACC Barnstorming Tour.

There are four opportunities left to see some Blue Devil fan-favorites back in action. As has become tradition, the departing members of north Carolina’s four ACC schools have teamed up to take part in the 36th annual ACC Barnstorming Tour. Andre Dawkins, Tyler Thornton, Josh hairston and Todd Zafirovski are all competing on this year’s tour, which runs April 9-25. The traveling squad opened the series in Bassett, Va., but will stick to high school gyms in north Carolina for the rest of the tour. each game, played against a compilation of all-stars from the host county, features a 3-point shootout and dunk contest at halftime. revered for his success from behind the arc during his time in Durham, Dawkins took home dunk contest honors on opening night of the tour. Although the teams of local all-stars pale in comparison to the talent of the

ACC, the competition is no slouch—the barnstormers escaped with a narrow 106102 win on the tour’s first stop in Virginia. Former north Carolina guard leslie McDonald is one of four Tar heels represented on this year’s squad, which also includes former Wake Forest starters Travis McKie and Coron Williams and n.C. State’s T.J. Warren and Jordan Vandenberg. Participating in ACC Barnstorming has become a time-honored tradition for former Duke players during the tour’s three decades of existence, providing a rare chance for camaraderie between former conference foes and an opportunity for players to stay fresh as they prepare to begin workouts for professional teams. Duke’s four seniors will next take the court Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at east Surry high School in Pilot Mountain, n.C. The team’s closest game to campus is Friday at Person high School in roxboro, n.C., the only game location less than an hour away from Duke.

just work honestly on our confidence, work on prep work for north Carolina and just try to get ourself back on track in all aspects of our game.” The Tar heels (12-2, 4-1) started the season as one of the hottest teams in the nation, reeling off 11 straight victories. But like the Blue Devils, north Carolina has experienced struggles of its own. The Tar heels have won just two of their past four games, including a loss to northwestern in which they scored a season-low five goals. Despite a poor offensive showing against the Wildcats, north Carolina still averages a scorching 16.71 tallies per game, which ranks tops in the nation by nearly a full goal. led by senior Abbey Friend, who ranks second in the

Although Duke has shown it has the talent to make some noise in the postseason, it will have to focus its attention on a talented Tar heel squad and step up its game-to-game consistency if it wants to end the season with any sort of momentum. “i’m excited for us and what we’re trying to do right now,” Kimel said. “[We]

For us, our main focus for tomorrow night is going into the game prepared to fight hard for however long it takes.” For the Blue Devil seniors, revenge will be a driving factor, as they will look to avenge last season’s 12-11 overtime loss in their final contest against their local rival. Although a win against at a rival topthree team’s stadium would be a nice way to end the season, Duke needs a vic-

A win at Chapel hill would give the Blue Devils a much-needed boost as it looks ahead to the ACC tournament scheduled for next weekend. Playing in a conference tournament field that boasts seven top-20 teams, Duke’s seeding could be crucial to postseason success. “You have to use the postseason as a motivating factor at this point [but] not necessarily a focus,” Kimel said. “The division we’re in, we don’t feel like postseason play is a guarantee.” Following Wednesday’s game, Duke will have more than a week to rest its players and prepare for its ACC tournament opener next Thursday in Chestnut hill, Mass.

certifying entrepreneurship The Arts and Sciences Council recently approved a new certificate program designed to teach entrepreneurial skills. Formally called the innovation and entrepreneurship certificate, the new program aims to help students learn how to transform ideas into functional businesses. We are skeptical, however, that the new program will be effective. We question the extent to which innovation and entrepreneurship can be taught in a structured setting. We recognize that teaching entrepreneurial skills might be possible in a formal class setting given that Duke already provides training in business, finance and other similar disciplines. Innovation, however, is not as easily taught in the classroom. Much like creativity, innovation requires an element of original thought that must develop naturally. Trying to teach someone to be innovative runs counter to the essence of innovation. In some respects, it appears that the Arts and Sciences Council is jumping hastily on the entrepreneurship bandwagon. It is possible that this program was created as a way of relieving strain on the Markets and Management Studies certificate, which is burdened by too many students. It seems more likely, however, that the creation of the new certificate represents a desire to emulate a start-up culture

similar to that of Silicon Valley or peer institutions such as Stanford University. Duke has a relatively young start-up culture, and the new certificate may be an attempt to give that culture definition and shape. And, yet, creating an academic program for innovation and entrepreneurship may constrain a

Editorial culture that needs time to develop, especially if that culture thrives in environments lacking formalized organization. Thinking about the innovation and entrepreneurship certificate causes us to reflect on the value of certificates in general. We acknowledge the utility of many certificate programs. In their best applications, certificates allow students to specialize and distinguish themselves in a particular field, often at the same time as undertaking interdisciplinary work. In some cases, certificates signal that students have learned a marketable skill during their time at Duke, and—while not true of all certificate seekers— many students opt to pursue certificates in order to learn tangible skills not taught in their major courses of study. The new innovation and entrepreneurship

onlinecomment The reason these movements have become more “subtle” and “impalpable” is because they are less and less real. The progressives of Duke’s campus today are battling invisible enemies in made-up battlegrounds.

certificate falls into this pre-professional category, given its focus on skill development. We remain unenthusiastic about the new certificate, since only half of it seems feasible. We are confident that students can learn valuable skills and ideas concerning entrepreneurship, but we doubt that innovation can be taught. There appears to be a pernicious side to entrepreneurship in some contexts, entrepreneurship has become synonymous with simply “getting rich quick.” Ideally, entrepreneurship would focus on creating goods that provide a tangible benefit to society. But in many cases – especially in the era of entertaining but useless mobile apps— entrepreneurship has become a method of creating products of dubious social value for the sake of raising profit. We also fear that the new program may unintentionally reinforce the dominant and unproductive start-up narrative—a college dropout develops a new sensation and acquires massive amounts of wealth. If Duke endorses a culture that emphasizes wealth acquisition over service to society, it will have failed in its mission. The Editorial Board did not reach quorum for this editorial.

being members of the gang. As a result, attorneys must find a way to frame the persecution as being on account of membership in a particular social group. The Board of Immigration Appeals has developed standards for what constitutes such membership in a particular social group. First, the members of the group must share an immutable characteristic, something

Mexico and Central and South America. Often classified as “illegals” crossing the Rio Grande to exploit resources supported by American taxpayers and steal American jobs, asylum seekers get caught in the whirlwind of an immigration system that is stretched to the breaking point in a country where some citizens fear an invasion of the “illegals.” But there are many asylum seekers who have credible claims of past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of their race, religion, political opinion, nationality or membership in a particular social group. These people are therefore eligible to apply for asylum under the Immigration and Nationality Act and international law. And the United States cannot simply build a heavily armed wall along the border with Mexico to exclude asylum seekers. Instead, the United States has an obligation under federal and international law to provide these individuals with the opportunity to apply for asylum if they have expressed a wellfounded fear of returning to their home country. In the interest of allaying some xenophobic fears, it is important to note that poverty alone is not sufficient for a claim of asylum. Although economic coercion can qualify as persecution when it is particularly extreme, country-wide conditions of poverty simply do not entitle an immigrant to the opportunity to apply for asylum. An applicant must show not only that he or she has suffered persecution or has a well-founded fear of future persecution, but that such persecution was or may be suffered in the future on account of one of the five enumerated grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Many of the 57,624 immigrants who crossed the South Texas border from Mexico last year, and many of the 96,829 immigrants from other countries who did the same, claim asylum based on the fear of persecution by gangs in their home countries. This presents a particularly complicated legal problem for immigration attorneys because of the need to base asylum claims on one of the five enumerated grounds. Those who fear being persecuted by gangs usually do not express any distinct political opinion, other than an opposition to

they either cannot change or should not be required to change, such as their gender or sexual orientation. Second, the group must be particular and socially distinct. That is, the relevant community must consider the group distinct, even if its members are not readily identifiable. For example, the BIA has found that female members of a Somali tribe who are opposed to female circumcision and have not undergone the procedure constitute a particular social group, even though the characteristic of not having undergone female circumcision is not necessarily a readily identifiable one, barring an invasive physical exam. With these constraints in mind, immigration attorneys have attempted to construct a particular social group that would satisfy these requirements. However, the BIA has generally been reluctant to grant such gang-based asylum claims. For example, in Matter of S-E-G, the Board held that youth from El Salvador who had been recruited by MS-13 and had rejected or resisted such recruitment based on their personal, moral and religious opposition to the gang did not qualify as a particular social group because the group was not sufficiently particular or socially distinct. As a result of such a strict standard for a particular social group, the United States returns applicants to their home countries, where they will likely be subject to persecution by the gangs once again. A skeptic might ask why the United States must be the one to take in these asylum seekers and recognize their persecution. The answer is fairly simple. If we are serious about enforcing human rights and protecting every individual’s right to be free from persecution, then it does not matter why these asylum seekers picked the U.S. Instead of sending asylum seekers back to their lives of gang violence and persecution, the United States needs to do more to treat the source. We cannot just build a wall of Border Patrol agents and barbed wire while we look south to a country embroiled in a de facto civil war and further south to countries struggling under the dominance of gangs.

Goodbye and adieu.

ver since April, being at Duke feels different, and I’ve been wondering why that is. It’s in the swarms of prospective freshman, the waving flags declaring the upcoming graduation and the gleeful Facebook statuses celebrating the end of thesis presentations. It’s the promises kept to get coffee and the hint of summer around the corner. It’s the taste of farewell. As someone who traveled here from a country with an entirely different college system, the worst thing about this one

if this will be our last conversation. What if we never meet again? And I think that is what is the most frightening about saying goodbye sometimes—the fear that, ultimately, everything is fleeting and even meaningless. The disturbing thought that one day you might forget someone or some place or some moment that truly impacted you or someone will forget about you. And the idea that, after all of this, despite being at a moment where it seems all our lives are intertwined, we are going to lose the human connections

truth or dare we’ve worked so hard to gain. It’s a sad thought that I haven’t quite reconciled with and, as challenging as Duke has been, it’s been a place of celebration and learning, too. I don’t want things to change. I don’t want to forget people. I don’t want to say goodbye. But then I remember college is not supposed to be the best four years of our lives—only the beginning of them. So much lies ahead that we cannot predict but whatever experiences we’ve shared together in these four years will become a part of us. It is a reality that there are people who will touch our lives and never enter them again. Yet, I have faith that the mark they have left and the marks I leave are not so easily erased. These years at Duke are always going to be ingrained in the way we perceive the world, and the way we interact with others, in the way we pursue our passions and the way we love. Saying goodbye is a mournful thing— but do we ever really say goodbye? Yes, it is difficult to think that, in a month, six thousand of us will venture out to six thousand ends of the globe. But in my parting words for this semester, I just want to say something to seniors, rising juniors who are studying abroad and anyone really who senses the upcoming farewell and is saddened. Whoever you are, you’ve touched a life here. You’ve walked on these Chapel steps, and, while the image of how the spring flowers look falling in the Gothic Wonderland may grow hazy, it will not be forgotten. You’ve left something behind, and it isn’t just a goodbye. Isabella Kwai is a Trinity sophomore. This is her final column of the semester. Send Bella a message on Twitter @tallbellarina.

about the latter. I’ve made significant time commitments to these organizations, as well as others. Now, well entrenched in my commitments to these organizations, I can’t help but wonder how my involvement with them will progress and how my next two years will expose me to other opportunities. Starting college with fewer friends than I could count on my hands, I’ve now begun forming relationships that I find meaningful. With the initial rush of orientation settled, the subsequent rush of ‘rush’ come and gone and my place in the Duke community more defined, I increasingly find myself interacting

out the tiled floor in Au Bon Pain and noticing a coffee spill in Von der Heyden, I lifted my head and thought about what I was doing. As my sophomore year comes to a close, I have the privilege of recognizing that I am as into university life as I probably ever will be. I’m two years in with two years to go, at the pinnacle of the hill looking down. It is with this in mind that I reflect upon my own foray into college life, with the hope that the next two years will be more enlightening and that I will continue to create my identity and understand who I am and who I want to be. Choosing to attend Duke was a blessing and a curse. I came in with a raging superiority complex and a drive that was fueled by a supportive home life and unchecked by the AP classes that my high school threw at me. Now that I am nearly finished with my major’s introductory courses, my ego has been tamed and my motivation has been forced more than ever to come from myself. I met people in my freshmen hall whose ideas of pursuing a life dedicated to research or post-doctoral studies challenged the vision I had for my own path of getting a bigger house than I grew up in, in the middle of an American suburb, with a white picket fence around it. In terms of student life on campus, I am at a juncture in which the extracurricular organizations I joined are opening up leadership positions for me. Coming to college, I signed up and tried out for all of the policy, public speaking and political organizations I could find. Two years later, I have a comprehensive understanding of how a Moot Court round works and how a Model United Nations committee is conducted even though, coming to college, I had never heard of the former and barely knew anything

Isabella Kwai is how often we must say goodbye. You begin your freshman year in a place that seems to welcome you with open arms and advertises itself as the best four years of your life. Come on, Duke whispers. Make friends here. Have days you won’t forget and nights you won’t remember. Build a life here. Love here. And so you do. You care about people and attach yourself to places and you love and you live. Yet, inevitably, whether as a graduating senior, a junior going abroad or just a student facing the summer months, we have to let something go. We have to say goodbye. I don’t mind admitting that I am exhausted and part of me is grateful for summer to come. I look in the mirror and see an impressive pair of Louis Vuittons under my eyes and a manic, coffee-grazed grin. I am growing tired of life as a checklist of homework, extracurriculars and laundry. But as May looms again, it becomes disarming just how fleeting the days now seem, and how alarmingly fast time has raced by. No matter how desperate I am for rest, I am never quite ready to say goodbye to a year to college. Why would I be? There are countless seniors in the Class of 2014 who have showed me the best of Duke and inspired me to be a better person than I could have ever hoped. There are close friends going abroad who have kept me company in the most profound moments of my life. And there are just faces whose smile and cheer I will miss for three months (Rob from Bella Union—don’t ever stop! Also, your mocha fraps are great.) Imagining college without these people is strange and terrifying, and I can’t help but grieve. Now when I spend time with rising juniors I question, will this be different in six months? Now, every time I chat with a senior, I wonder

At my friend’s suggestion, I’ve tried looking around—often in more than the literal sense. Some time in between checking

with the same people. Not to say that this is necessarily bad, but the last two years have sorted and filtered my day-to-day interactions. These relationships are subdivided by people sharing my major, people in my living group, people in my extracurriculars and people whose schedules happen to align with mine. It is worth noting that I continue to meet interesting new people, but the frequency of these encounters has decreased. My roots have been planted, but I lament the thought that, as I become a senior, they will turn to stone. A career seems far away, but jobs and internships seem very close. I’ve understood that I will eventually need to make myself marketable and regularly question whether I have taken advantage of the opportunities afforded to me by this University. The Career Center and email blasts sent out by my advisor are helpful, but, in order to really invest in my future, the responsibility falls on me to initiate it. Often, I’m so consumed making sure that I meet the deadlines for my classes, finish my homework and reply to emails that I forget to think about the big picture of what I’m doing. John Lennon said, “Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.” A close lifting buddy of mine told me he realized that people are going to grind through most of their life. He said the best thing to do is to find something you love and grind at it. I blinked, and, suddenly, I’m halfway through college—but, I now see, the relationships I made and the path I’ve begun going down are my college experience. I was so caught up in looking down that I forgot to look around. Tyler Fredricks is a Trinity sophomore. This is his final column of the semester.

PARKING from page 12 positions. We don’t have a lot of fluff as far as our staffing goes. We’re a lean department as it is, and we’ve got some vacant positions. Before the change was made, I was very busy, as we all are—it’s just a matter of being able to juggle all of the different priorities and making sure that we don’t have any absences of service and that we’re not overworking the people that we have here, not piling their plates too high, so that we don’t drop anything. We want to ensure that we keep moving forward, without any missteps, and that there are no lapses in customer service. TC: Do you have help covering the dual

positions from within the department ? MH: We have a couple assistant director positions which are vacant. I think that the thought process from senior leadership is, ‘Let’s get the permanent solution here and let them hire for the vacant positions.’ I think that’s a logical thing to do. Sure, that just seems to make it harder for you and the staff, yeah... But I think one of the things to remember is that the people that are here have really pitched in and are willing. They have been very gracious in adding more to their plates and handling more tasks so that we don’t miss a beat. They have really pulled together and have been very supportive. TC: What do you want readers to know

sports

about the Parking and Transportation Department in the next six to nine months? MH: Our real focus is on improving customer service and customer experience and just making parking an afterthought, something that is easy for the parker and nothing that they really have to plan out. We want to make sure that we are communicating our services and delivering those services in a way is user-friendly and helpful. Nobody comes to Duke to park their car—they’re coming because they have doctor’s appointments or they’re going to class or to work. We want to make the whole parking and transit experience something that happens and flows, so they don’t really have to think about it and it’s not a hassle for them.
