UNC campuses propose tuition hike to Board of Governors Proposed tuition increases for next two years range from 1.6 percent to 5 percent Sarah Kerman The Chronicle

The University of North Carolina system could be increasing in-state tuition rates in the upcoming school years.

North Carolina—like many other states—made significant cuts to education spending during the recession. In response to rising costs, each of the 16 state university campuses has submitted a request to the North Carolina Board of Governors to raise tuition for 2015-16 and 2016-17. The proposed tuition increases range from a 1.6 percent increase at Elizabeth City State University to a 5 percent increase at East Carolina University, UNCGreensboro, Appalachian State University, UNC-Pembroke and UNC-Asheville.

North Carolina State University and UNCChapel Hill would see increases of 3 per-

cent and 3.5 percent, respectively.

The NC Board of Governors will vote on the proposals in its February 27th meeting.

North Carolina’s budget cuts have had visible impacts on the NC University system. North Carolina is one of just eight states that has yet to restore university funding to pre-recession levels, according to nonpartisan think tank the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

“No student wants to see tuition increases but at the same time, with decreasing state investment in higher education in the UNC system at some point, the only thing we can do is increase tuition or fees,” said NC State student body president Rusty Mau, who received his undergraduate degree last year and is currently pursuing a master’s.

Mau said it is best to focus on allowing students to have a voice in prioritizing which areas receive the funding from the tuition increase in the coming year, which he sees as inevitable. There are four students on the committee of nine that requests the NC State tuition increase, and

students at NC State have also assembled to discuss the merits of each fee increase for the coming year.

UNC-Chapel HIll students have also taken action. Senior Wilson Parker—director of state and external affairs for the school’s student government—leads a group of students that meets with state legislators to encourage prioritizing the university system in the budget. Parker adds that affordability is a big topic of discussion around campus.

“North Carolina’s universities are a very important part of what our state is today. If you look at the growth North Carolina has had, I think more than any one factor, it’s due to our university system,” Parker said.

Both Parker and Mau point out that financial aid policy is interlinked with university tuition policy. If tuition increases, students and families who benefit from financial aid would need to have the support mechanisms in place to bear the burden of the increase. Both students also

DUSDAC un-Satisfied: committee looks to add MOP vendor Samantha Neal The Chronicle Students may soon be able to satisfy their Italian and Mexican cravings, as Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee looks to add new Merchants-on-Points vendors and food trucks.

After experiencing difficulty contacting MOP vendor Satisfaction Bar and Grill, DUSDAC is looking to add a new restaurant to the lineup. Some possibilities the committee discussed at their Monday meeting include Monuts Donuts, Dunkin Donuts, Tijuana Flats, Don Marcelo’s and Pomodoro. Pizza Mia was also mentioned as a possible option to return to MOP, after departing from the program last summer.

DUSDAC co-chair Brian Taylor, a junior, said that the committee would have a representative from Tijuana Flats— Tex-Mex chain on Ninth Street—come present briefly to the committee in the coming weeks. The eatery has demonstrated a serious interest in joining the program, he said.

The search for a new vendor comes after a semester filled with MOP decisions for DUSDAC. Local sports bar Satisfaction was voted an MOP vendor in November, two weeks after local sushi place Sushi Love was added to the MOP program—a move so popular that demand overwhelmed the restaurant in its first few days of delivery. But logistical issues meant that Satisfaction was never officially added to the program.

Prior to the additions of Sushi Love and Satisfaction, there had been two open

spaces in the MOP program since September—one that opened this summer when Vine Sushi and Thai decided not to participate in the program, and one that opened in September with the unexpected closure of MOP vendor The Pizzeria.

Some options for food trucks include two Mexican eateries—Amigosan and Taco Grande—and Bang Bang Banh Mi, a gluten-free option.

In other business Director of Dining Services Robert Coffey said Penn Pavilion may play host to ESPN’s morning talk show—First Take—on Feb. 18 for the men’s basketball game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The show is hosted by Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless and Cari Champion and will run from 10 a.m. to noon. Penn Pavilion can hold up to 405 people at one time, which may become an issue for filming if attendance at the event exceeds the maximum building capacity.

Talks for hosting the event are ongoing, but will likely be finalized soon as the game approaches, Coffey said.

After a vote by DUSDAC members via email last week, the most popular name for the upcoming West Union pub was Devil’s Krafthouse. The name beat out 1924 Crafthouse and 1838 Crafthouse.

The committee noted that the pub’s name could be stylized with a “K” instead of a “C” to honor men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Construction on West Union is set to be completed in Spring 2016 and will open with approximately 12 new vendors.

David Marshall, associate professor of the practice of Christian-Muslim Relations, opened the discussion by emphasizing that theological dialogue is essential to finding a solution that appeals to everyone.

“At the heart of both faiths is a theology, an understanding of God,” he said.

Raising the question of what the adhan signifies, he said that for Christians, the adhan may feel like a proclamation that corrects one’s faith. Marshall encouraged informal discussions between Muslims and Christians and said that the Duke

community must educate pastors to be “intelligent, humble, and confident.”

Imam Zeb gave concrete examples of the interfaith harmony Marshall discussed, most notably an example of when the Prophet Muhammad sent his followers to seek refuge in Abyssinia, where the Christian king welcomed them.

“It is all God’s space,” said Imam Zeb. Luke Bretherton, associate professor of theological ethics, urged members of the Duke community to find a way to be committed to their respective religion while also recognizing similarities with other faiths. Unlike Marshall, he stressed that interfaith dialogue as religious practice in sacred places is challenging and informal encounters might be a better idea.

“The Duke Chapel adhan can’t be answered in the abstract,” Bretherton said.

“We have to ask was it right in this time, in

Now that we agree to cut CO2 emissions, how shall we do it?

Diane Nelson, professor of cultural anthropology, reminded the audience of the country’s troubling past on the topic and said everyone should feel like they belong at Duke.

“The students who pay my salary come from all backgrounds,” she said.

She criticized the three major religions for indulging in “self-constituted othering,” in addition to expressing hope about the adhan and calling the people who threatened violence “little.”

Safi extended his support to all those who had suffered emotionally as a result of the incident.

“You are here, and you belong,” Safi said.

“What we may be lacking by institutions, we have as a community with each other.”

He urged the audience to remember not only the many threats but also the ex-

shared disapproval over the NC Board of Governors’ decision to cap the amount of tuition that can be used for need-based aid at 15 percent, a limit which both UNCChapel Hill and NC State currently exceed.

“Tuition increases are really bad, though the recent change to limit the amount of the increase that can go to need-based aid is even worse.” Parker said.

The increases are still in the proposal stage, Shirley Ort, associate provost and director of scholarships and student aid at UNC-Chapel Hill, wrote in an email Monday.

“We’ll understand more about the potential impact on student aid policy after the February meeting of the BOG,” she wrote. pressions of appreciation.

“We are not your political football, your other for you to sort out,” he added.

“I love this place enough to be disappointed in the half-a-step back [by the Duke administration].”

After an hour, the debate was opened to the floor for questions from the audience.

One audience member, introducing himself as an “old white guy” said he appreciated the forum and noted that the problem was that “there are not enough old white guys in this room.”

Sophomore Sarah Hakani said that although she applauded the risk some panelists took in answering questions, there could have been less political correctness.

BLUE DEVILS FOLD CARDS

Sameer Pandhare Beat Writer With postseason seeding on the line, the Blue Devils protected home court and earned a resume-building victory against a top-10 foe.

No. 15 Duke used Ka’lia Johnson’s career-high three 3-pointers to defeat No. 8 Louisville 66-58 Monday L‘VILLE 58 at Cameron Indoor DUKE 66 Stadium. The win moved the Blue Devils into a tie for third in the ACC. “I was proud of how our team battled,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “I love our balance, and everybody got involved and aggressive.”

Johnson’s perimeter shooting made up for another rough first half for All-American senior Elizabeth Williams, who was held scoreless in the opening 20 minutes for the second consecutive contest. Although the center came out strong in the second half and finished with 11 points and nine rebounds, her classmate’s performance was key in what was an up-and-down performance by Duke.

“Three assists, zero turnovers is the stat I’m really looking at,” McCallie said. “[Johnson] handled the ball a great deal out there. She had two steals, and she was on-point with her shot selection. She was very impressive and very steady, which is what we need from her.”

The Blue Devils (16-6, 7-2 in the ACC) jumped out to an early 11-2 lead behind

a strong zone defense. Using its imposing height advantage, Duke contested Louisville’s perimeter shots, holding the Cardinals (19-3, 7-2) without a field goal for the first six minutes. Louisville shot just 29 percent from the floor in the first half.

“Defensively, we’ve improved with each game and we’ve stayed active,” Williams said.

“We’re starting to understand how to use our length on the defensive end.”

Despite the poor shooting from Louisville, the Blue Devils couldn’t create much separation.

After scoring six of Duke’s first eight points, sophomore Oderah Chidom picked up her

second foul at the 16:12 mark, and Louisville cut into the lead. The Blue Devils committed 13 first-half turnovers and saw two other posts pick up two fouls but still headed to the locker room ahead 25-19 behind strong performances from Johnson and freshman Azura Stevens.

Stevens finished with a team-high 17 points.

Duke exploded out of the break thanks to improved play from Williams and hot shooting from redshirt freshman Rebecca Greenwell. With Williams drawing attention in the post, Greenwell keyed a 17-4 Blue Devil run that stretched the lead to 17. Williams’ three blocks along with Greenwell’s two triples

during the run appeared to put Duke in position to win its second game against a top-10 opponent this season.

“After halftime, I decided to be more aggressive, and all of us wanted to keep the pressure up,” Williams said. “Our offense started to flow a little more, and we started moving the ball better.”

But the Cardinals were far from finished as Mariya Moore started to heat up. The guard connected on three 3-pointers in a four-minute stretch, consistently beating the Blue Devil zone. With Duke forced to pay extra attention to the freshman, Louisville took advantage in the paint and went on a 17-7 run of its own to cut the lead to 49-42 with 6:07 remaining.

From there, the teams exchanged big plays.

Johnson’s third trey of the game was matched by a three-point play by Louisville’s Sara Hammond.

With 2:49 left, Duke nursed a 56-49 lead.

Down the stretch, the Blue Devils went to their All-American inside. Williams was fouled on consecutive possessions and hit 1-of-2 from the line both times to stretch the Duke lead to 58-49 with 1:56 left. The senior drew a charge on the ensuing possession, and the Blue Devils closed out the game. All five Duke starters finished in double figures.

The Blue Devils head back on the road Thursday at Wake Forest at 7 p.m.

“I like road games because that’s what the NCAA tournament is all about,” McCallie said.

“We have to take them one at a time.”

Column

The short list: Replacing Rasheed Sulaimon Mike Krzyzewski’s unprecedented dismissal of junior Rasheed Sulaimon from the Duke basketball program did more than send shockwaves through the college basketball world—it left the Blue Devils with an open spot on the roster.

Debuting an eight-man rotation featuring its only eight scholarship players, Duke used a late comeback to triumph at then-No. 2 Virginia Saturday, earning a statement win in a time of uncertainty for the program.

The victory showed that the Blue Devils are plenty capable of beating high-quality teams with this lineup, but having an eight-man rotation leaves any team with kiddie-pool-levels of depth. One false step could mean an injury that derails the remainder of Duke’s season.

With a few days to regroup before Wednesday’s game against Georgia Tech, Krzyzewski, like any great military man, should seek reinforcements. With so many world-class athletes at his University, it shouldn’t be that hard... right?

So get your resumes ready, kids. We’re going to see who at Duke might be the best person to fill that open roster spot.

Daniel Carp

Myles Jones (midfielder, Duke men’s lacrosse): This junior might be the single most athletic person on Duke’s campus. At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, Jones has the ability to deliver a crushing hit and blow past defenders at breakneck speed. Thanks to his superior size and speed, Jones is the biggest matchup nightmare in college lacrosse. On his way to earning second-team All-America honors and leading the Blue Devils to a national championship a season ago, Jones netted 37 goals and dished out 26 assists—50 of his 63 points came in the final 11 of the Blue Devils’ 20 games.

In addition to being one of the nation’s top lacrosse players, Jones has an extensive basketball background. He was a 1,000-point scorer at Walt Whitman High School in South Huntington, N.Y., earning all-Long Island honors. Jones also played basketball during his postgraduate year at Salisbury School in Connecticut and wound up with scholarship offers to play at Xavier and Richmond.

During last year’s NCAA tournament run, Jones said Krzyzewski had reached out to him before he came to Duke about potentially suiting up for the Blue Devils on the hardwood after his lacrosse career was over. Krzyzewski and men’s lacrosse head coach John Danowski had agreed

not to discuss the arrangement until after Jones had exhausted his lacrosse eligibility, but Danowski’s team is on the heels of back-to-back national championships and Krzyzewski’s squad is one injury away from being woefully understaffed. It might be time for those two to talk.

Did I mention that Jones was an all-county quarterback as well? Looks like David Cutcliffe might have to get in line.

After examining some game tape from high school, Jones’ athleticism definitely translates to the basketball court. As expected, he is very powerful around the glass and explosive around the rim, playing like an undersized power forward. It wouldn’t surprise me if someone as physically gifted as Jones had the range to match.

Rebecca Greenwell (guard, Duke women’s basketball): Krzyzewski doesn’t have to leave his building for this one. After sitting out last season to recover from a torn ACL, Greenwell is quickly becoming the Blue Devils’ next young star. Averaging 13.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, the 6-foot-1 redshirt freshman could help make up for the loss of Sulaimon’s 3-point shooting, hitting 36.6 percent from beyond the arc. Greenwell also has substantial eligibility remaining, which is a plus.

Greenwell’s addition to Krzyzewski’s squad would be groundbreaking, as she would become the first woman to suit up in a Division I men’s college basketball game. But hey, it’s 2015—and I’d say as far as universities go, Duke is pretty post-gender. The better question is, would Krzyzewski be able to wrestle one of Blue Devil women’s basketball head coach Joanne P. McCallie’s best players away from her mid-season? That sounds like some must-see drama.

DeVon Edwards (safety, Duke football): Cutcliffe often tells the story of the first time he saw Edwards—on the basketball court.

Edwards starred on the hardwood for Alcovy High School in Covington, Ga., where as a senior he was rated the 12th-best player in the state. The safety stood out to Cutcliffe because despite his generous listing of 5-foot-9 on Duke’s roster, he was also his team’s leading rebounder. Throughout Edwards’ rise from relative unknown on the gridiron to stardom as an All-America return specialist, Cutcliffe has spun a number of yarns about his safety’s ability to dunk with two hands.

Although the redshirt junior probably wouldn’t be much help out on the wing at his See Roster Spot on Page 5

ROSTER SPOT

Standing at 6-foot-3 but boasting little backto-the-basket prowess, I consider myself more of a stretch-four—if stretching means still staying inside 18 feet. I have a reasonably soft touch on my mid-range jumper and, more often than not, can make it up and down the court without tripping over myself. My wingspan makes Jay Bilas salivate. After averaging eight points per game for the AEPi intramural basketball team, I really think it’s time to take my basketball career to the next level.

So Coach K, what do you say? I’ll be awaiting your call.

size, Edwards would bring a whole lot of heart and slap-the-floor defense to the Blue Devil backcourt. And no team can ever be short on that.

Daniel Carp (washed-up sports writer, The Chronicle): It’s my list, so I can put myself on it if I want to. I think I have all the qualities announcers love to talk about when discussing walk-on basketball players—high basketball IQ, scrappiness and a relentless work ethic.

Divest and divulge

L

ast Tuesday, the administration rejected Divest Duke’s proposal to remove investments from the top 200 publicly traded fossil fuel companies. A student-led campaign established in Fall 2012, Divest Duke is concerned with the contradiction between the University’s goals to combat climate change and its investment in various fossil fuel industries. Although Duke’s energy initiatives are laudable steps in the right direction, the University should commit on all fronts and increase transparency in its investment processes.

When the initiative launched its campaign earlier this Fall, more than 250 people signed on in only the first five days. In November, the Duke Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility—a panel of faculty and students— unanimously recommended against this proposal.

On Tuesday of last week, Brodhead released a letter announcing his support of the recommendation.

The committee cited three main rationales against divestment. These included economic considerations, lack of evidence supporting the tangible efficacy of the acts and that “Duke has even more potent means than divestment for expressing the institution’s ethical commitments on climate and energy issues.” These more

“potent” means refer to initiatives ranging from “the prominence of the Nicholas School of Environment” to promoting these programs through “teaching, research and training in realworld problem solving.” The letter emphasizes Duke’s commitment to sustainability and the Board of Trustee’s charge to be “mindful” of this issue in discussing future investment strategies.

Although we applaud the University’s existing efforts towards climate and energy sustainability, we note the discontinuity in its actions. Even as Duke invests in energy initiatives like the Nicholas School to promote a cleaner environment, it is also funded by investments made in fossil fuel companies that continue to exasperate climate change. We may have teaching, research and training in “real-world problem solving,” but this does not absolve the University of its culpable investment in the reason we have these “realworld” problems to begin with.

If the University is truly dedicated to climate change, it should commit on all fronts. We understand there may be potent economic reasoning to reject the proposal, but change can only be seriously realized when the principles are not half-heartedly but, rather, fully and genuinely

With the trustees of dozens of higher education institutions across the globe such as Stanford and the University of Maine system voting to divest their endowments from fossil fuel companies, it’s surprising that the Duke Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility has decided to stay the course and continue to invest in fossil fuels. Even as members of our administration mismanage scandal after scandal this semester, they’ve made the right call with regards to divestiture. Their decision reflects the reality that the University endowment serves as a means to a better university, not a more just world, and that the symbolism such a move would convey can easily be generated elsewhere.

In the end, the goal of those managing Duke’s $7 billion endowment is simple—to maximize

embodied. Divesting is not merely a symbolic step; it is a crucial step towards building a sustainable Duke.

Beyond the question of divestment, however, is the issue of transparency in the University’s investments—an issue addressed in the student campaign for endowment transparency, Duke Open. On this front, Divest Duke is just one of several campaigns in recent years demanding divestment. In Spring 2012, for example, the Coalition for a Conflict Free Duke succeeded in passing a resolution through the Board of Trustees to crack down on companies using conflict minerals in their technology. Yet, three years later, despite the campaign’s success, there are still no means to follow the University’s implementation.

Not only is this opacity problematic for its lack of accountability, it also prevents the hundreds of people who invested energy and time into proposing Divest Duke from accurately assessing the claims made by the University in rejecting proposals in the first place. By increasing transparency and access to information, members of the Duke community can themselves assess whether they agree or disagree with the interpretations—economic or otherwise—of the ACIR and other such bodies.

Don’t divest

One of [the university’s] own is enduring nationwide and esceedingly public humiliation and shame for, in essence, being petulant and a bad teeamate.

returns. Doing so and reaping the profits that result allows Duke to continue improving; according to DukeForward promotional material, almost a quarter of endowed funds support financial aid, while another 19 percent are dedicated to paying professors’ salaries. In other words, while endowment money is certainly responsible for the cranes and mulch paths currently pockmarking our campus, it is also footing the bill for a sizable portion of daily operations critical to our learning. The endowment is small compared to the $32 billion sitting in Harvard’s bank account and the $20 billion in Yale’s, however.

Even with DukeForward’s ambitious $3.25 billion fundraising goal, one-third of which will be funneled into the Endowment, we lag far behind many of our peer institutions in terms of fiscal wellbeing. Keeping that in mind, it becomes obvious that not a single sector should be excluded from our portfolio if doing so would compromise its rate of return.

Aside from financial concerns, the Endowment is only rarely used as the means to a political end. A previous petition demanding Duke divest from Israeli companies was ignored in 2004, and a 2005 push for the Endowment and its managers to sell off all shares of Big Tobacco companies ended with a declaration that social justice concerns were taken into consideration when making investment decisions but were not automatically deemed more important than financial ones. The last well-publicized instance of Endowment disinvestment for purposes of activism occurred in 1986, when the Board of Trustees voted almost unanimously to sell the Endowment’s shares in any company doing business in South Africa due to the country’s continued

practice of apartheid. However, it did so in the context of more than 100 other universities and 200 companies doing the same, not just the two dozen that have divested from fossil fuels.

Even when Duke did divest from firms associated with South Africa, though, the impact was negligible.

According to a New York Times article on the subject, Duke shifted a grand total of $48.5 million to other investments. Such a sum accounts for not even onetenth of one percent of the nation’s 1986 gross domestic product, a figure that in turn does not acknowledge that many of the companies “doing business in South Africa” are in fact multinational in nature, suggesting the actual effect of Duke’s divestment on the country was even smaller than that proportion. In a similar manner, the companies with which Divest Duke wishes the university to avoid dealings are too large for one university to influence financially. For instance, ExxonMobil, the world’s largest publicly traded oil and gas company, has a market capitalization of $370 billion.

Thus, even investing the entire University endowment in that company alone would give Duke a 1.89 percent stake, one not large enough to influence ExxonMobil’s day-to-day practices. In reality, no sane asset manager would permit such an investment strategy, so it is more likely that only a small portion of Duke’s funds are in fossil fuels – for instance, only 8.3 percent of the Standard & Poor 500 index is in energy. In short, an examination of the actual finances of divestment shows that selling off Duke’s shares of oil and gas companies would remove less than a drop from the massive bucket of their financial reserves, a drop that would be easily replaced by entities less concerned about the societal implications of their investments.

Of course, another argument in favor of divestment from fossil fuels is that doing so raises awareness of global warming and makes students realize their university can play a role in the fight against climate change. This argument holds greater merit. The Divest Duke campaigns have mobilized a significant number of students—3,500 have signed its petition—and sparked a campus-wide dialogue. At the same time, however, the university is more than its endowment activity. Professors in a variety of departments conduct research on sustainable energy , and administration mandates that all new buildings meet LEED standards for environmental friendliness. Such activities and policies greatly increase awareness of environmental issues—anyone who has ever ridden a C-1 Express hybrid bus has seen its “Bleed Blue, Live Green” motto—more pervasively than divestment ever could.

Why should we jeopardize the financial health of our endowment in order to achieve something other practices already accomplish?

Our section, our vote

L

ast week, Duke’s administration reiterated its plan to alter the current housing model for Selective Living Groups and Greek life by instituting a mandated 30 percent upperclassmen section quota. While this new rule was made three years ago, many students—most of who didn’t even attend Duke at the time— were shocked and frustrated to learn that their living experience would be fundamentally altered.

As a rising senior whose living situation is now jeopardized, count me among them. Duke Student Government vice president for residential life Zach Gorwitz described campus reaction as, “just a vocal minority who are extremely unhappy about it.” However, he and the administration are seemingly blind to the overwhelm-

wiched between the conclusion of sophomore year and the junior spring, studying abroad has proven itself a fantastic and unique way to experience the world outside Duke, and learn a lot about yourself in the process. Instituting this quota would mean that if too many juniors wanted to study abroad, they would be jeopardizing the existence of their housing section. It seems unfair and nonsensical to punish SLGs and Greek life members for wanting to study abroad, an opportunity that should never be infringed upon.

Yet, the most belabored point with the new policy is perhaps that seniors must now comprise 10 percent of each section.

In much the same way that rooming in section positively defines the sophomore living experience, off-campus housing stands

Thoughts on American Sniper

esterday was a holiday in Texas—Chris Kyle Day. The governor made the announcement last Friday, alongside continuing reports that “American Sniper” is shattering a number of box offices records. It is now the single highest-grossing war movie of all time.

This movie has so sharply divided viewers that I’m willing to bet that readers of this column are now waiting for the big reveal. Any second now, it’ll come—am I going to paint the man as an American hero and claim that the movie is a touching tribute to the best, the bravest, the most talented among us? Or am I going to say that he is, in the words of those who have criticized him, a “hate-filled killer,” a “coward,” an “American Psycho?”

Neither. I’m sick of both of these perspectives.

I want to say two things.

First, even as a capital-L Liberal, I have an enormous amount of respect for Chris Kyle. Here’s why.

In order for society to function, we all must agree to bequeath certain people the ability to choose whether or not we need to use violent force. We may disagree, but

MORE OR LESS

BRAVE NEW WORLD

ingly negative reaction this has drawn from affected student demographics.

As The Chronicle’s Editorial Board eloquently articulated, this policy threatens to dramatically disrupt a housing model that students have shown a longstanding affinity for. What’s worse, the only articulated reason for its implementation has been, according to Dean of Residential Life Joe Gonzalez, that “upperclassmen bring a level of maturity to the houses and their presence is important.”

There’s no question that interaction between classes, and upperclassmen with underclassmen, enhances student life and the Duke community at large. In fact, that level of interaction is one of the biggest appeals of SLG and Greek life in the first place. The opportunity to socialize with and learn from your peers is tremendous, and the familial environments those groups produce stand as one of their greatest assets. However, imposing those relationships through a regressive housing measure will not enhance those relationships. This policy’s assumption that Greek Life and SLGs are lacking inter-class interaction is unsubstantiated. The thriving membership rates of these organizations should be enough to illustrate that they offer a wealth of relationships, many of which stretch between classes.

For sophomores in SLG and Greek life, one of the fundamental fixtures of the second year living experience is the opportunity to live in section with your entire pledge class. On many levels, it’s the physical manifestation of embodying your SLG, sorority or fraternity, and is the year to genuinely and socially bond with your classmates.

Sophomore year represents the transition away from east as well as the growing investment in academics and extracurricular activities. In carving out a path at Duke, section becomes a constant—a place students rely on to find their pledge class and the people they chose to live with. More often than not, upperclassmen find their way into section. However, in the case of a large incoming pledge class, instituting a quota may prevent sophomores from living in section in favor or juniors or seniors who have already lived there. While housing sections aren’t built to cater specifically to sophomores, it remains most integral to that class, and it would be a travesty to deny some sophomores that experience.

Moreover, the new policy would have a direct effect on upperclassmen that wish to travel abroad. For most juniors, particularly those in Greek life and SLGs, fall semester represents the perfect time in their academic calendar to travel abroad. Sand-

as a long awaited opportunity for seniors.

The privilege of choosing where you want to live, how you want to live and with whom you want to live all combine to make the independence of senior year unique and memorable. Factor that in with the fact that a small group of seniors would be isolated away from their own pledge class on section, and this quota quickly represents a punishment.

Additionally, off-campus housing offers a higher standard of living at a discounted price—Durham hosts a bevy of brand new and established apartments and homes, many of which boast amenities and privacy not found on campus. The fact that these options are predominately cheaper than on-campus housing means the new policy affects both students’ wallets and their living situations.

The more scrutiny this housing policy faces, the more it appears to be a punishment. The interaction between classes is intrinsic to SLGs and Greek organization, and defines itself beyond any housing model. Foisting a policy that attempts to splice and institute those relationships—at the expense of some of most integral parts of the student living experience—will likely stir more resentment than anything else.

Instead of deciding what’s best for its students, the administration should allow its students to articulate what’s best for them. If Housing, Dining, and Residential Life is convinced that opposition to this policy belongs only to a “vocal minority,” then they should put their money where their mouth is. Rather, they should put it to a referendum.

SLGs and Greek life make up more than half the student body, and their voices should be a factor when a stringent new policy specifically targets them. Why not let them vote on it? On one hand, it may reaffirm HDRL’s suspicions that a change is needed. However—and this seems far more likely—it may illustrate that HDRL’s quest to refine the housing system is a poorly constructed foray into the section system, a facet of student life that remains beloved in its current form.

This is an opportunity to for Duke’s administration to let students know that it hears them. The new housing policy is out of touch, out of place, and out of whack.

Instead of confirming a growing suspicion that the administration lacks empathy for its students, they should seize this opportunity to listen. This is our housing, Duke, so please put it to our vote.

eventually, our society only works because we settle upon policymakers to do the hard work and listen to the experts and receive the confidential intelligence and make the impossible decisions. If we disagree with their decisions, we can and should do so publicly, but the goal is to change the minds of the people making the decisions—or to change the people making the decisions when their terms have finished.

But when it comes down to it, we have to accept their choices about violent force and carry them out. We need people to execute their choices. We need people to volunteer to be the decision makers, and we need people to volunteer to be the decision enforcers.

Both of these are positively miserable jobs. They require risking one’s own life, or, sometimes even worse, risking the lives of hundreds or thousands or sometimes millions of others. They require sacrifice—years of life gone, families left unattended to, painful decisions that haunt psyches for decades. Because of the enormity of this sacrifice and because of its necessity, we owe the people who take both of these jobs a great deal.

They deserve a still higher level of respect when they do these jobs well—when decades of careful political calculus leads to the peaceful end of the Cold War, or when a sniper is so skilled that his fellow soldiers rely on him for protection.

So I respect Chris Kyle. Even if the details of his life are questionable in his autobiography and the movie is murky in its portrayal of them, two things are clear. He did an absolutely necessary job remarkably well, and he sacrificed a hell of a lot in order to do so. His eventual death is a tragedy so terrible that I understand why saying a word against him has inspired such ire.

I’m going to say something else now, too.

In the movie, we get two main villains—the Butcher, a militant so psychopathically evil that he keeps body parts in a freezer, and Mustafa, a rival sniper matched in skill only

by Kyle, who he shoots from over a mile away. The problem?

The Mustafa character warrants only brief mention in Kyle’s autobiography as a largely miscellaneous skilled marksman. Kyle “never saw him,” only revealing that “other snipers later killed an Iraqi sniper [they thought] was him.” And the so-called Butcher?

He doesn’t really exist—Kyle’s autobiography never even mentions him.

The reason for the movie’s choice is obvious—the stories we tell in situations as morally ambiguous as war make the most sense when we have a clear-cut enemy. Almost no one – not the American public, not Chris Kyle – wants to kill other humans. We want to kill evil.

So it’s no surprise that Kyle did exactly what the movie did—took away the personhood of his enemy. He declares unambiguously that every single person he shot is, in no uncertain terms, a “bad guy.” “I hate the d*** savages,” he wrote. “I couldn’t give a flying f*** about the Iraqis.”

I understand why he needed this narrative. I couldn’t imagine killing hundreds of people without it. And if the movie is any indication, the American public couldn’t imagine endorsing the killing of hundreds of people without it.

But once these helpful narratives are stripped away, the truth is that this war was a battle between two groups of people who were each trying to defend, perhaps in misguided ways, their people and their way of life. On both sides, the combatants perceived a threat, identified and often misidentified its source, and they lashed out against it. We all were were trying to protect the people we love against something we saw as an enemy.

Iraq is not a nation of Butchers. And Chris Kyle is not a better man than Mustafa simply because his name makes him sound like the boys I went to elementary school with.

Nearly 5,000 Americans have died in Iraq since the conflict’s beginning. How many Iraqis have died during that time? Probably around 500,000. While we don’t keep quite as close a tab on the number of slain Iraqis, it’s safe to assume that for every dead American soldier, there is a small village of dead Iraqis.

The tragedy of Chris Kyle doesn’t start on February 2, 2013. It starts a lot earlier than that, when he took a job so terrible that it left him with PTSD and a conviction that killing was “fun.”

We must not let Chris Kyle come to embody his coping mechanism—our coping mechanism: the dehumanization of and overly strong retaliation against people from whom we perceive a threat.

He was more than that. He was a man who died senselessly while trying to make sense out of his world and defend what he believed was right, no matter the cost to himself. So were many of the people he killed. On February 2nd, those are both tragedies I mourn.
