The revolution will not be live-streamed By Monday Monday Not Not True

Before I came to college, I had midterms in high school. They happened during the middle of each semester and everyone spent about a week prepping for them. When the time came, we took the exams and wrote the papers, and then we were done until finals. It was simple and predictable. Back then, my life had rules. I thought that would last forever. Oh, how naive I was. Here at Duke, we know the truth: midterm season never ends. There’s always another test just around the corner, another presentation that needs practicing, or a paper that demands work because they don’t just write themselves dammit. The constant assessment means we’re always driven to perform at our best, and the perfectionism legitimately drives some of us wack. But friends, don’t fear! While you were busy taking the L on that Orgo midterm or botching that thesis defense, other Blue Devils were winning big. So take a break from your studying and read this column where I summarize all the big wins your classmates had this past week! Maybe it’ll make you feel better about yourself by association? Who knows, but we’re doing this.

Where groups will live next year when the new quad opens By Shannon Fang Towerview Managing Editor

With the closing of Central Campus and opening of The Hollows and a refurbished Craven, where will you be living next year? Joe Gonzalez, assistant vice president of student affairs and dean for residential life, provided The Chronicle with information about housing changes for the 2019-2020 school year. The groups living in The Hollows next year will be Alpha Delta Pi, Banham, Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, Mundi, Mt. Olympus, Narnia, Rabbit Hole, Skyler, Tortuga and Zeta Tau Alpha. The new groups moving to 300 Swift next school year will be Delta Gamma, Delta Kappa Epsilon, JAM!, Multicultural Greek Council, Pi Beta Phi, Pi Kappa Phi, Sierra and Sigma Nu. Although Sierra will be the only independent house in 300 Swift, they will constitute about half of all the students living in the apartment complex. Alpha Phi and Delta Sigma Phi will be moving to Edens. Sigma Phi Epsilon will be moving to Keohane. Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Psi Upsilon, The Cube and Ubuntu will be moving to Craven. All of the groups that are relocated to 300 Swift due to Craven

renovations will return to Craven, including Alpha Tau Omega, Lumos, Mirecourt, Powerhouse, Sherwood, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Chi. Junior Ryan Dant, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon, wrote in an email that Central will always have a place in their hearts, but they are excited to be on campus with the rest of the Duke community. Though they will be the only Greek organization in Keohane, he noted they are looking forward to using the space and like the location. “We feel like the process worked very well,” Gonzalez said. “The houses that participated in the process seemed to feel like it was very fair and transparent about how it was operating and where they would end up, and I think we ended up with the distribution we were looking for.” Gonzalez explained that there were a few basic principles guiding this housing process. He said they were committed to making sure each of the eligible Central houses would have a house on West, limiting the disruption to the existing houses on West, setting up West for the housing link program and making sure each of the selective living groups has a new house with a See HOME on Page 12

Duke beats North Carolina for third straight year By Winston Lindqwister Sports Managing Editor

Daniel Jones has been making waves as a potential first-round NFL Draft pick as a quarterback. But after a high-velocity game against North Carolina, he could make the case for a solid running back as well. Duke took down North Carolina 42-35 Saturday afternoon in Wallace Wade Stadium, securing the Victory UNC 35 Bell for the third DUKE 42 consecutive year. Both teams went back and forth in the first half, but key plays from Jones gave Duke the advantage it needed to put the game away. The Blue Devil quarterback led the team in rushing yards at 186 and completed

31-of-54 passes, creating 547 yards of total offense, a Duke single-game record. “I know I’m not the fastest guy on the field, I’m just trying to run as fast as I could,” Jones said. “Both those long runs, I’m not sure I really got touched and that’s a credit to those guys up front. There were seams there and I was just trying to get them and do what I could so, those guys played great all day up front. They opened up seams for me and Deon and added pass protection too so that was a lot of fun.” Jones’ last play of the first half showed just why the redshirt junior is one of his team’s most versatile weapons. After whiffing a pass to Deon Jackson, the Charlotte native took matters into his own hands and opted to run the ball on third down. Jones found a lane down the middle and shook off a pair of North Carolina defenders to break through,

running for 61 yards with 16 seconds left to give Duke a 35-28 lead heading into the locker room. The Blue Devil quarterback again showed his legs in the second half as Duke’s passing consistency began to falter. After back-to-back drives ended in turnovers for the Blue Devils, Jones exploded with a career-high 68-yard run to put the home team just two yards from the end zone. Duke (7-3, 3-3 in the ACC) subbed in backup quarterback Quentin Harris to secure the touchdown and a 42-28 lead. The Tar Heels (1-8, 1-6) scored their only points of the second half late in the first quarter to trim the lead to one possession and got the ball back, but their last-gasp Hail Mary into the end zone fell incomplete as time expired.

The dog ate your homework? These professors have heard better By Jake Satisky University News Editor

What makes for a good excuse for not having your homework done on time? Once upon a time, “the dog ate my homework” might have worked. That ageold excuse probably won’t pass here at Duke though, unless Nugget gets ahold of your work. “I think some students think themselves very clever when they ‘make up’ excuses but what they don’t realize is that their ‘novel and creative’ excuse has actually been in circulation forever,” wrote Alexander Glass, lecturer of earth and ocean sciences, in an email. Back in the 1990s, The Chronicle held an annual competition in which professors could submit the craziest homework excuse they had heard. In 2018, The Chronicle decided to ask over 20 professors their favorite excuse for missing a homework or exam that they had heard in their years of teaching. Most didn’t reply or couldn’t think of any good excuses, like Professor of Sociology Jen’nan Read. She wrote that throughout her many years of teaching, she has heard some “incredulous” excuses, but no single one stands out. Nevertheless, a handful of professors did reply with their favorite excuses. Here they are. Royalty and fencing Some students have legitimate reasons why they have to turn in homework late or miss an exam—it just so happens that those reasons are somewhat out of the ordinary. Typically, going home doesn’t get students off the hook for their assignments. However, when one particular student had to go home, Sherryl Broverman—associate professor of the practice of biology—didn’t have much choice

but to give him more time. “I once had the son of royalty from another country have to delay an assignment as he needed to return home for an event,” Broverman wrote. “Getting an email from a palace asking for an extension was a new one for me.” Michael Gustafson, associate professor of the practice of electrical and computer engineering, had two students whose sports got in the way of their work. Were they Duke basketball players missing class to play the University of Kentucky in Indianapolis? Not quite. Gustafson wrote that he had a student miss a lab because they were at “the finals table of a major Texas Hold’em poker tournament.” Another time, a student wrote him a matter-of fact excuse. “For test 2 I will not be here,” the student wrote, according to Gustafson. “I have a fencing tournament in Slovakia.” Bus drivers and Shooters II Other excuses are not quite as exciting as a poker tournament. Some students have more disappointing or lame alibis. However, a select few are gross, outlandish or embarrassing enough to really stick with professors. Connel Fullenkamp, professor of the practice of economics, wrote that he’s had some students cite their court dates as reasons for missing homework. Fortunately, he hasn’t had any Duke students miss work due to jail time. Gerald Wilson, an academic dean in Trinity College, typically asks students who arrive to class late to explain their tardiness. Most of the time, he wrote, it’s because the bus was late. This semester, however, a student shared more detail than was necessary—the bus was late because “the bus driver had to get

off and poop,” Wilson wrote in an email to The Chronicle. At Duke, students will do—or say— whatever it takes to get a passing grade. Glass recalled a student with a memorable excuse in his Earth and Ocean Sciences 101 class. “I once had a student who told me that they would be deported back to their own country where they would likely be executed as a political traitor, IF they got an F in EOS 101,” he wrote. “Needless to say that student spent another three successful years at Duke and ultimately

graduated—with an F in EOS 101.” Many of these excuses aren’t relatable to the general Duke population. Not everyone can claim their royal status as an excuse to miss an assignment deadline. However, this excuse that someone told Karen Murphy, lecturer of psychology and neuroscience, can happen to any Duke student who’s having a little too much fun. The student told her that they were in the hospital because they broke their ankle falling out of the cage at Shooters.

Sen. Rand Paul visits campus ‘Poop is the new gold’: Duke startup makes it into water By Priya Parkash Staff Reporter

Relations between Democrats and Republicans are strong, Rand Paul, Republican junior United States Senator of Kentucky and Duke University School of Medicine ‘88, argued in a talk Friday. Paul spoke at an event at the Sanford School of Public Policy hosted by Young Americans for Liberty and POLIS in a wide-ranging speech, but predominantly emphasized the possibility of compromise between the right and the left. Paul acknowledged that there are differences in opinion between the two sides, but denied accounts of incivility in Washington. Contrary to popular belief, relations between the right and the left are very good, Paul argued. Paul pointed to John Adams and Thomas

Jefferson, two Founding Fathers who diverged on many issues, to convey that differences in opinion have always existed, but that it in no way determines the ability of the two sides to cooperate. “You do not always have to define yourself in terms of your party,” said Paul. “A good example is a libertarian.” Reaching a compromise does not always have to involve settling the difference—a model like that of trial by jury is unfit for deciding such questions, Paul said. Rather, the two parties must actively embrace other methods of reaching common ground. Paul was asked about how how officeholders could be more mindful about the language they use. He argued that officeholders need to realize that yelling and screaming do not do any good. Americans need to value immigrants and other See RAND PAUL on Page 12

IT’S SO CREAMY

By Mona Tong Staff Reporter

Jesus may have turned water to wine, but now two Duke professors are turning poop to water. A new Duke-developed reactor can convert organic waste to clean water within four seconds, possibly changing the way waste is handled globally. Marc Deshusses, professor of civil and environmental engineering, and Kobe Nagar, senior process engineer in the Deshusses lab in the Pratt School of Engineering, have been working on inventing and perfecting this technology since 2013. They have high hopes for its potential implications and benefits. “Poop is the new gold. That’s what people are starting to realize,” Nagar said. “And sometimes you need to leap for the industry to follow—that’s what we’re promoting.” He explained that the reactor—designed to treat waste from 1,000 people—utilizes a cycle called supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). Once the organic waste is fed into the reactor, the temperature and pressure are both increased. Under such conditions, the organic material is converted to clean water. “Once you get to those conditions, you can react any organic material and oxidize it with oxygen into water and [carbon dioxide],” Nagar explained. This technology has existed for some time, but there were problems keeping the reactors from charring and corroding. Deshusses and Nagar focused on solving these issues, and through gaining more experience, improved their design and methodology even further. “We said, ‘How can we innovate, where

can we solve those problems and get around the traditional fault [older technologies] had?’” Nagar said. The project began in 2013 as part of the “Reinventing the Toilet” challenge sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The objective was to look for new technology and innovations in the sanitation and wastewater industries. The product is now in the fourth development phase of the grant—putting the machine on the market. The two scientists founded 374Water to commercialize the technology with a partner that will help engineer, manufacture and operate the units. Nagar explained that they hope to get two demo units into the market by 2020. Nagar noted that he and Deshusses began the project in order to solve water availability and sanitation issues in the developing world. “The developing world doesn’t have the infrastructure that we have,” he said. “They don’t have a sewer system, they don’t have a collection, and you need to allocate a lot of money just for that infrastructure, not to mention for treating the material.” In developing nations without existing infrastructure, Nagar explained, it’s possible to implement technology that replaces the need for that infrastructure. For example, the landline infrastructure—which was massive, costly and lacking in developing countries—was essentially “leapt over” with the introduction of cell phones, he said. Similarly, instead of building massive, costly sanitation infrastructures in developing nations, the SCWO technology “leaps” over the

A strict ID policy is now enforced at Central Campus courts By Will Atkinson Contributing Reporter

As the faculty adviser for the Duke University Cricket Club, Arya Roy has often reserved the Central Campus turf field for the club’s practices. Before this semester, when the team arrived at the time of their reservation, they would sometimes find a few people using the field already—many of whom were not Duke students, faculty or staff, for whom the field is reserved. Usually, the occupants of the field would politely vacate the field to let the club play, and the club rarely faced problems. But beginning with this semester, the situation changed. “When we came back in fall and started practicing again, we found that the problem had become extremely acute,” Roy, lecturing fellow of physics, said. By September, he said, the team frequently arrived to find nearly “40 to 50” soccer players occupying the field before their practice time. When the group of players resisted turning over the field to the club and began to hurl what Roy called “racist abuse” in the direction of the cricket players, Roy said he began to fear that the safety of his players may be threatened. The first few times these incidents occurred, Roy notified the security guards stationed at the Mill Village area of Central Campus, where the turf field and basketball courts are housed. But as the problem repeated itself and became more aggressive, he felt he had no choice but to notify Duke University Police Department. Roy emailed DUPD after one incident in late September. Around two weeks later, he said, after the situation had not improved, he called the campus police directly. Some time after Roy submitted the complaint

to DUPD, the guards stationed near the Central Campus courts and field began strictly enforcing a Duke ID policy for anyone using the facilities. Roy emphasized, however, that this action was not taken by his request. The requirement that patrons of the basketball courts and turf fields possess a Duke ID is not new. A 1995 article in The Chronicle notes that the University enacted a “restricteduse policy” on outdoor basketball courts on campus in 1993. Signs on the fences that currently surround the grounds note that the athletic facilities are private property and warn against trespassing, specifying that they are “for the exclusive use of Duke University students, faculty and staff.” In an email, Chief of Police John Dailey cited these entrance signs and acknowledged the incident reported by Roy. “When people [are] using [the fields], or there is a question about who has it reserved,

the security team will check,” Dailey wrote. The card policy is similar to the requirement for entry to facilities like Brodie Recreation Center on East Campus and Wilson Recreation Center on West Campus. Unlike those facilities, though, the Central Campus athletic fields are managed by Housing and Residence Life, not Duke Recreation and Physical Education. However, this policy has not been consistently enforced in the past. Loukianos Varsamis, Pratt ‘16, who currently lives in Raleigh and has played pickup soccer games at the Central Campus fields since he was an undergraduate, said that Durham residents were a part of his pickup games nearly every week and that there had “never been a problem” in his experience. He recalled that, before recently, the enforcement of Duke ID cards would “ebb and flow” and was rarely strictly adhered to. “It was sort of a lax system [where] if the

proportion of Duke to non-Duke people is high enough—where ‘high enough’ isn’t welldefined—then it’s okay and everybody can stay,” Varsamis said. In recent weeks, Varsamis said he noticed a marked decrease in attendance at the Saturday morning pickup game in which he usually played. He suggested that it was due to the lack of local residents, who began to be turned away from the fields for not being able to present a Duke ID card. “One of the two Saturday morning games is completely dead now. Nobody comes,” Varsamis said. “Because the issue is that there are not enough Duke people to have a pickup game by themselves, so when there are no nonDuke people, the Duke people also don’t show up, because it’s not worth it.” Strict enforcement of the Duke ID policy may be inconvenient for students, but Roy said he believed it is the most fair option for managing the use of the courts and turf field. By checking the ID of every person who uses the facilities without exception, he said, the guards prevent profiling on the basis of who “looks like a Duke student” and who does not. Roy added that it was unfortunate that the issue came to this point and that he had often welcomed residents on the field as long as there was not a problem in sharing space. But he noted that the question of opening a space like the Central Campus courts and field to people outside of Duke would provide more challenges than other semi-public spaces on campus, like Perkins Library. “If Duke really wanted to share its space, the best thing to do would be to have a very clear policy of how that sharing will work: between what hours, who will ensure the safety and all that policy,” Roy said. “The problem is that there was no policy that was being imposed.”

Ask us a question about Duke! “WHO decides to cancel classes during extreme weather?” “WHAT happened to the food trucks on campus?” “Durham’s real estate market is so hot—HOW can folks afford to live here?”

DEFENDING THE VICTORY BELL Duke’s injury-ridden defense clamps down in the second half against Tobacco Road rival By Hank Tucker Associate Sports Editor

For most of the first half Saturday, it looked like both teams were destined for at least 50 points, and it was going to be the type of game that the last team with the ball would win. North Carolina scored touchdowns on four of its first six possessions, running roughshod over the Blue Devil defense and using its speed to get to the outside. It was reminiscent of Duke’s 54-45 loss at Pittsburgh two weeks 35 ago when the Panthers UNC DUKE 42 never stopped scoring, or for senior linebacker Ben Humphreys, it reminded him of another game—the Tar Heels’ 66-31 onslaught against Duke in Chapel Hill his freshman year. But Duke’s defense turned it around after the break to ensure that the Blue Devils remained unbeaten against their archrival since that afternoon three years ago. Duke held North Carolina without a first down for the entire third quarter, and the Tar Heels were scoreless in the second half of the Blue Devils’ 42-35 victory until they finally found the end zone with 1:15 remaining in the game. “After the butt-whooping we took my freshman year at UNC—that was my first career start and I remember every single play in that game, and I watch that film and it has motivated me every single game since that point,” Humphreys said. “First career start, first career play on the field, they throw a flea-flicker and I slip and I’m on my butt, so I watched that over and over and over this week, I took it to heart and to reel off three straight against great North

Duke held North Carolina scoreless for the first 28 minutes of the second half. Carolina football teams is a great feeling.” Duke’s defense needed every stop it got, because its offense stopped scoring as well after a wild, back-and-forth first half. The Blue Devils took a 35-28 lead into the locker room, but their offense was plagued by mistakes in the third quarter to keep the Tar Heels in the game. North Carolina blocked a 40-yard fieldgoal attempt by Collin Wareham on Duke’s first possession of the half, wide receiver Chris Taylor lost a fumble in Tar Heel territory on the next drive and quarterback Daniel Jones was sacked and lost a fumble to result in a third straight empty possession with the Blue Devils clinging to a seven-point lead. Each time, Duke held North Carolina to a three-and-out and a punt.

“We had two fumbles and a blocked field goal in the third quarter and I’m sitting there thinking, like in baseball, that’s like dropping foul balls,” Blue Devil head coach David Cutcliffe said. “You know what happens when you start dropping foul balls? They start getting home runs. The reason we were able to fight that off was the fight of our entire team.” At halftime, the Tar Heels had 272 rushing yards on 11.3 yards per carry, led by speedy sophomore Michael Carter with 122 yards. Wide receiver Dazz Newsome had also given North Carolina an 84-yard touchdown run. Without redshirt junior All-ACC linebacker Joe Giles-Harris, who was sidelined by an MCL injury he suffered last week at Miami and remains day-today, the Blue Devils were struggling to keep North

Carolina’s playmakers in front of them. Junior safety Dylan Singleton also suffered a season-ending broken ankle during the first half, forcing redshirt junior Jordan Hayes into action. Hayes played a significant role last season due to other injuries in the defensive backfield before he has been relegated to the bench for much of this fall, but he stepped in effectively with five tackles, including one for a loss. Duke’s leading tackler was reserve linebacker Brandon Hill, who filled in for Giles-Harris and brought Tar Heel ball-carriers down 10 times. “I wasn’t playing much this season, but I came in and did what I had to do, and I thank my brothers for it,” Hayes said. “The next man steps up, and we’ve been preaching about that the whole season.” After the break, Duke forced North Carolina into five straight three-and-outs, and it did not allow a play of more than 20 yards for the entire second half. The Tar Heels finally marched down the field for a touchdown to trim the deficit to 4235 with just 1:15 remaining and got a quick stop to get the ball back with a chance to tie it. But Duke fittingly ended the game with one last stand, breaking up a Hail Mary attempt in the end zone as time expired before making a beeline for the Victory Bell, in the Blue Devils’ possession for the third straight season. “I made a joke before the game that they shouldn’t even roll the bell down onto the field because it’s too heavy to roll back up the tunnel,” Humphreys said. “We executed what we needed to execute in the second half and tackled better in the second half, and I’m just so proud of these guys. It’s been an unbelievable season up to this point and we’re not done yet.”

Freshman trio leads Blue Devil charge against Army By Ben Feder Associate Sports Editor

After crushing No. 2 Kentucky in its season opener, No. 4 Duke was already being pegged as national champions. But a slow start against Army reminded everyone that the Blue Devils are not invincible. Ultimately, Duke’s talent was too much, but the contest was a bit too close for comfort against a team that finished in the middle of the Patriot League last season. Led by Zion Williamson’s 27-point, 16-rebound performance, Duke held off a stingy and experienced Army squad 94-72 on Veteran’s Day ARMY 72 Sunday afternoon DUKE 94 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. After a first half in which they turned the ball over six times and allowed the Black Knights to shoot 46.7 percent from 3-point range, the Blue Devils began to buckle down after the under-12 minute timeout in the second half, going on a 11-0 run to put the game out of reach. “Our guys don’t feel good about themselves right now, and that’s good, although they turned it around in the second half and won,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “They

were in a position to lose the game, and then they responded, and they responded really well.” Despite having Williamson on the bench to start the run, Duke’s defense began to find a groove, and Cam Reddish and R.J. Barrett hit back-to-back 3-pointers to push a six-point lead to 14. Reddish provided eight of the Blue Devils’ 11 points on the run, and finished with 25 points on 9-of-21 shooting, including 7-of13 from 3-point range. “[Reddish] does it every game,” Barrett said. “We really just buckled down on defense. We were getting rebounds and getting out in transition.” Williamson was dominant from the opening tip, taking advantage of his size advantage in the paint to help keep the Blue Devils (2-0) afloat in the first half as they head to the locker room with just a 50-45 advantage. The secondranked recruit in the Class of 2018 only missed one shot in the first half, simply elevating over Army’s defenders collapsing in the paint.

Blue Devils struggle at Northwestern in opener By Emily Davis Associate Sports Editor

Returning only 40 percent of its scoring from last season and featuring one of the youngest rosters in the NCAA, the Blue Devils’ youth was tested against a Northwestern team that returned five out of its six top scorers. The leadership of Haley Gorecki and Leaonna Odom was not enough to provide the needed spark DUKE 58 for the No. 21 Blue 84 Devils, who fell to NU the Wildcats 84-58 in their home opener Sunday in Evanston, Ill., at Welsh-Ryan Arena. This marked the first loss for Duke in a road opener in more than ten games and its first loss in 13 games against unranked opponents. Though Gorecki and Odom combined for 24 points, Northwestern dominated, shooting 26-of-64 from the field and 40 percent from three. The rebounding efforts by both teams were relatively balanced, but Duke gave the ball away 24 times as compared to the Wildcats’ 14 turnovers. “Looking at them, we expected them to be very good. They were very good,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “We did not expect to not have more fortitude in stopping them... It’s like anything else—getting five people to play together. And we didn’t play together. That’s something we’re going to have to work out very quickly.” The first two possessions would dictate the great majority of the game for the Blue Devils

Sujal Manohar | Photography Editor

Haley Gorecki struggled in her homecoming, making just four of her 19 attempts. (0-1), as the Wildcats stopped Duke twice, with the help of a Blue Devil turnover, and added five points to the score board. The early lead would not subside for Northwestern and Duke would not lead for the entire game. The Wildcats (2-0) came out strong in the first quarter, shooting a dominating 67 percent from three and 63 percent from the field at the three-minute mark. Gorecki converted the sole 3-point shot for Duke in the first half in the first two minutes of the game and the Blue Devils did not convert another until three minutes into the third quarter. Duke finished with three makes from the 3-point line on only 16 attempts. The Blue Devils also struggled early with corralling defensive rebounds. Duke gave the Wildcats nine offensive rebounds in the first half of the game. The Blue Devils only had

two offensive rebounds in the first quarter but impressed with five in the second. The second quarter for Duke opened with a scoring drought that spanned more than four minutes. Northwestern only converted two baskets during this time period, giving the Wildcats a 24-13 advantage until the Blue Devils responded. “You have to credit their defense. We need to slow down to make plays. We were fouling and fouling trying to be aggressive but there were times where we really need to slow down and reset and re-boot,” McCallie said. “We had a hard time running through sets and running through some of the things that we do. That cost us greatly.” Duke converted several free throws on the back of Onome Akinbode-James and Suggs,

in addition to a fast-break basket by Odom to bring its point total up to 23. It was not enough to stop the Northwestern approach, however, and the Blue Devils entered the locker room with an eight point deficit at 33-25. The third quarter began very similarly to the first for Duke, as Northwestern continued to impress with shooting percentage. The Wildcats scored two straight baskets, including one from beyond the arc, and converted an and-one opportunity in their first three possessions of the game. Northwestern finished the quarter with a 28-21 scoring advantage over the Blue Devils. Odom and Gorecki carried the Duke offense in the third quarter, Gorecki hit an early three to help close a 15-point Northwestern lead. Odom put up six points in the next three minute. The Lompoc, Calif., native recorded her sixth double-double of her career and first of the season with 14 total points and a careerhigh 14 rebounds. “I think my teammates did a good job,” Odom said. “They were able to box out and I was able to go in there for the loose balls from the guard position, so it made it a lot easier.” For the Wildcats, junior forward Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah pulled down almost half of the team’s 42 rebounds with 17 on the night. KunaiyiAkpanah ranked ninth in the nation last year with an average of 11.9 boards per game. In the fourth quarter, the Blue Devils began to close the gap on Northwestern, using a 6-0 scoring run to bring the game to 64-54 with 5:54 left in the quarter.

The start of the second period was no different for the two teams. Although Duke consistently kept the ball in the possession of its forwards, Wake Forest’s suffocating defense clogged up any clean attacking lanes the Blue Devils tried to create. As play progressed, the Demon Deacons (13-9) finally began to flip the script on Duke, capitalizing on offenses miscues to drive the ball right to the heart of the Blue Devils’ back line. However, Duke’s vaunted defense propped up by goalkeeper Sammi Steele and graduate student Tessa Gote kept Wake Forest’s deep runs at bay. Duke’s best opportunity to score came in the final minutes of play, where van Hoof tripped up Paolino and spent the rest of the period in the penalty box. But even up a player, the Blue Devils squandered the opportunity to put the game

away, failing to make a meaningful drive and forcing the match into overtime. Consistently one of the top teams in the nation, Duke has struggled in the post season, falling in the quarterfinals their third straight year. The Blue Devils will be without a high-powered senior class of Tynan, Erin Scherrer, Caroline Andretta, Morgan Bitting and Christy Palazzese next season, but should expect big things from returners such as Paolino, Sahaydak and Crouse. “For a team that had to come together in January and really make things happen after losing six very influential seniors from last year, five starters, I am so proud of the senior leadership, of the whole team making the changes they needed to help us become the team that we are today.” Bustin said. “We have to figure this out.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Duke shows defensive liability against Army’s fast pace By Hank Tucker Associate Sports Editor

For the first 30 minutes Sunday, Army showed off one way to beat Duke this year—run, run and keep running offensively. The Black Knights’ veteran guards pushed the pace relentlessly to stay in the game far longer than expected, avoiding having to contend with the Blue Devils’ length and athleticism simply by beating them down the floor early and often. Army ran out of gas while Duke picked up its defensive intensity to stretch a slim six-point lead with less than 12 minutes left to 25, but the Blue Devils still appeared mortal for much of the afternoon after a near-perfect 118-84 rout against Kentucky in the Champions Classic. “They would get it down so fast that we didn’t talk well in the first half because you have to talk quicker,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “When we were switching, they already did something before we could get our guys to say ‘switch.’” Of the 16 shots the Black Knights made from the field in the first half, eight came in the first 10 seconds of the possession, as junior point guard Tommy Funk led the break regardless of whether Duke scored or not and usually made the right decision. Funk posted a double-double with 12 points 10 assists and just two turnovers. The Blue Devils only allowed two opposing players to dish out at least 10 assists against them all season last year—Notre Dame’s Matt Farrell and Michigan State’s Cassius Winston—putting Funk in impressive company. “We knew that they would push the ball, but I

have to give them a lot of respect. We scored and they got that ball inbounds very fast and pushed it down the floor. Their point guard, he’s a very talented guard,” Duke freshman Zion Williamson said. “He controlled the team, I don’t think he made any bad plays, so I think it was a great experience for us to play against him.” Five days after it took less than 10 minutes for the Blue Devils to build a 21-point lead against the No. 2 team in the nation, Duke needed more than 30 minutes to hold at least a 15-point advantage against Army. The Black Knights responded to the Blue Devils’ elite onslaught with good ball movement to find open 3-point shooters and an opportunistic defense that created opportunities after live-ball turnovers. Duke committed 12 giveaways, tripling its minuscule total from its win against the Wildcats, with some of its freshman stars trying to force the issue when its offense was not flowing well in the first half. On back-toback possessions when the Blue Devils were on the verge of pulling away with a 36-25 lead, Williamson and freshman R.J. Barrett tried ill-fated behind-the-back dribbles in traffic. Both turned into steals and points on the other end for Army, forcing Krzyzewski to call timeout. “We dribble behind our back twice, get it stolen, and they score five points on it. Part of that is you feel we were better, and you can just do something on your own,” Krzyzewski said. “In the second half, we played together more.” Duke’s lack of an offensive rhythm also resulted in several missed shots and long rebounds

After reserve point guard Jordan Goldwire missed a 3-pointer with less than five minutes left in the first half, Josh Caldwell grabbed the rebound and had a clean breakaway that would have trimmed the Blue Devils’ lead to one at 40-39, but missed the wide-open right-handed dunk. Army never pulled in front after the opening minutes, but it had an answer for every Duke run and made back-to-back triples eight minutes into the second half to cut a 12-point deficit in half. The Blue Devils then finally put the game away with an 11-0 run and only gave up 11 points in the final 12 minutes.

“It was different, but as the game went on, we got used to it and we figured it out,” freshman Cam Reddish said of the Black Knights’ pace. “Coach made a lot of adjustments throughout the game, and we ran with it.” When Duke had time to get set in its halfcourt man-to-man, it limited the Black Knights’ chances, and they shot just 31.6 percent in the second half. Williamson was all over the place on defense with three blocks on one possession early in the half. But despite the Blue Devils’ relatively comfortable 22-point margin of victory in the end, future opponents with good, fast point guards now have a blueprint for how to attack them.

Kayla McCoy’s late header puts Duke past Rutgers By Mitchell Gladstone Sports Features Editor

With the Blue Devils dominating possession Friday night, it seemed like it would only be a matter of time until the hosts finally seized a lead. But with a cold, steady rain falling onto the Koskinen Stadium turf and Duke unable to find the net for more than 75 minutes, overtime appeared a real possibility. So it was only fitting that, in what was likely her last game in Durham, senior Kayla McCoy managed to do what she always does once more—score. McCoy’s 78th-minute tally, a redirected header from a lengthy free kick by junior Ella Stevens, turned out to be the match’s lone goal, as No. 4 seed Duke 0 edged out Rutgers 1-0 RUTG 1 in its opening-round DUKE contest of the NCAA tournament. With the win, the Blue Devils advanced to the Round of 32 for the seventh time in their last eight tries, putting them one step closer to the program’s first national title. “A couple of times early we really ran at them, but we took a heavy touch and it came off the end of the field,” Church said of his team’s many opportunities. “But I felt like if we could just keep running at them—we just talked about opening up wide and getting those wide players 1-on-1.”

Duke (15-3-2) had been putting balls outside all night and it looked like if a goal was going to come, it would be from the run of play. Instead, a long through ball for McCoy fizzled out into a Scarlet Knight throw-in before some pushing and shoving between Blue Devil midfielder Sydney Simmons and Rutgers’ Tiernny Wiltshire drew the attention of referee Kevin Broadley. Broadley then issued a quick yellow card to the Scarlet Knight junior, setting Stevens up from just a few feet inside the far sideline and about 40 yards from the goal. The Blue Devil junior whipped one in high with her right foot and McCoy, who had her back to the goal just outside the 6-yard box, jumped up and nodded the ball just enough to slip it past the Rutgers goalkeeper at the back post. “We kind of felt one coming,” McCoy said. “There was a lot of jostling going on at the top of the box and I saw some open space at the near post area. I just feel like me and Ella saw each other and she served it right in there.” The Scarlet Knights (11-4-5) never really applied much pressure in the game, despite logging nine shots to match Duke. Rutgers got deep into the Blue Devil third in the very last minute, only to get whistled for offsides with less than 30 ticks to play. That all but ended things as Duke cleared the ball and salted away the final seconds before the horn. “Everybody knew it was going to be a hard-

In the second half, we had a lot of good buildups. We did a much better job of winning first, second balls. We were better on our tackles and much more dangerous with our wide players creating things from the outside in.”

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1 “Man, I could not believe it,” center Zach Harmon said of Jones’ running. “He runs like a deer, he’s so fast…. It goes without on how much we respect that guy. You saw what he could do as a player out there, but what you guys don’t see is how good of a leader he is in the locker room. I wish that could be exposed somehow. He’s the type of guy you want to root for.” Both teams traded blows throughout the first half in a fast-paced slugfest. North Carolina ran the ball down the field for a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. The Blue Devil defense looked lost without redshirt junior linebacker Joe Giles-Harris, and Duke’s rival from down the road took the lead just three minutes into the game. Duke responded instantly with a trio of passes to Chris Taylor and T.J. Rahming on the ensuing drive, setting the Blue Devils up on the 48-yard line. Jones then launched a dime to Taylor, who broke a tackle and snaked through North Carolina’s anemic secondary for a 52-yard touchdown. The Tar Heels struck next with another rush-heavy touchdown drive, headlined by a 40-yard run from Michael Carter. The Blue Devils struggled to contain the North Carolina running back before the break, as Carter finished the half with 122 net rushing yards. However, Jones was there with long passes to Johnathan Lloyd and Daniel Helm to knot the score yet again. “They came out fast, and we knew they were coming out fast,” safety Jordan Hayes said. “It’s just part of holding our own and knowing what we had to do and line up and

do what we do.” The Blue Devils then got their first two stops against the Tar Heels at the start of the second quarter, and a missed field-goal attempt from North Carolina set Duke halfway up the field for Jones to methodically roll to the end zone. But runs from Carter and Javonte Williams helped the Tar Heels knot the score again at 21-21. Duke started to hit some road bumps on its next drive, requiring a pair of thirddown conversions to keep the offense going—the team converted 13-of-20 third-down attempts in the game. This time, Duke’s clutch plays in the face of North Carolina’s defense paid dividends with a four-yard rush to the end zone by the sophomore Jackson. But yet again, the Tar Heels responded. On the first play of the ensuing drive, Dazz Newsome found a lane through Duke’s defense and threaded the needle for an 84-yard touchdown run. North Carolina would not score for the next 30 minutes, as the Blue Devil defense looked like a completely different unit in the second 30 minutes of play. Duke will continue its ACC campaign facing undoubtedly the toughest test of its season, taking on No. 2 Clemson on the road next Saturday at 7 p.m. “We’ll look at the film and learn a lot,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “It wasn’t perfect but we did so many things well we have a lot to build off of. We’re going to have to readjust again... We have a lot of fight left in us though. Somebody is going to step up, and I believe that in my heart, whether it’s players, staff, or anybody involved in Duke football.”

War I. Termed “The War to End All Wars,” the four bloody years from 1914-1918 left an indelible legacy in Western society. An entire generation of young men, raised in the halcyon climate of the pre-war Belle Epoque—when industrial progress seemed to promise an optimistic world order— were mowed down in the trenches of Somme and Marne. The generation that survived the war—figures like Ernest Hemingway, Erich Maria Remarque, and George Grosz—crafted a post-1918 culture that critiqued the remains of a society that had sacrificed millions of its youth for a few square miles of muddy French soil. Perhaps most

Editorial Board importantly, the first world war planted the seeds for an even bloodier global conflict 20 years down the line. As emphasized by many an A.P. U.S. history teacher, the immense dissatisfaction associated with the Treaty of Versailles fanned the flames of nationalist imperialism in places like Germany and Italy, plunging yet another generation into a mindless conflict. The thousands of young Americans who survived the carnage of World War I are all dead. Frank Buckles, the last surviving American veteran of the war, died in 2011. Memories of World War I have receded into history: with no living voices to remind us of the conflict and their generation’s sacrifice. Amidst the living, we still have men and women who fought in Vietnam, Korea, and in World War II (in dwindling numbers) to remind us of the historical legacy that such bloody conflicts imprinted upon our collective American psyche. Perhaps our grandparents can even recount stories of mass college protests against L.B.J., of snowstorms in the Chosin reservoir or of storming the beaches of Normandy. Yet as they too die off,

will we retain the historical memories of such important events in our nation’s past? Thirty years down the line, will a sitting U.S. president be able to excuse himself from a World War II ceremony on Veteran’s Day, with no living veterans from that conflict to criticize him? Trump’s action this past Saturday are even more disconcerting, considering his supposed pro-veteran agenda. Having declared himself an avid supporter of America’s military, Trump has framed himself as a benefactor of various veteran causes in his presidential administration. In an op-ed written by the vice president yesterday, Pence even publicly declared that “veterans have no better friend than President Trump.” Trump’s actions of late, including drastic budget cuts to the Department of Veteran Affairs and measures to privatize veteran healthcare, seemingly belie his position as a pro-veteran president. Unwilling to risk a wet suit just to lay down a wreath, Trump has again put himself ahead of his country, and has disrespected a population of individuals who deserve more respect, especially on a day that memorializes their many sacrifices. Ultimately, Trump’s decision not to attend the ceremony at Aisne-Marne this past Saturday is symptomatic of a greater lack of historical memory in relation to World War I, and of his false promises to “make America great again” for veterans. By refusing to attend the ceremony, Trump has disregarded the thousands of voiceless Americans, dead among the poppies in Flanders Field and Arlington, who offered their youth and innocence to serve in the trenches of France. With each passing day, memories of important events in our nation’s past grow fainter and fainter as our veterans succumb to the ages. Lest we decide to forgo a cemetery visit honoring veterans from a forgotten conflict, let us never disregard casualties—both emotional and physical—of wars, no matter how distant in the historical record they may seem.

Student activism: 1, Repealing student healthcare: 0 So an affordable Duke lives to fight another day. After a rather tumultuous week filled with patchy communication and plans to slash student healthcare, the university decided not to go through with the plan. The Price, it turns out, was not right. That’s a huge win for student activism, DSG, affordability at Duke and all that other great stuff. So what have we learned? Keep your hands off our healthcare, I’d say. As I mentioned two weeks ago, trimming the budget is always hard work, but nobody wins when healthcare is on the table. Let’s be real though, planning to cut healthcare for lowincome students, then realizing at the last minute that this goes against all of our stated values and hastily reversing course? Well, in the words of President Price, “That is, truly, what makes Duke Duke.” Kentucky gets beat, Loop Bar gets lit In the Duke store at Wallace Wade, there’s a quote from Coach K on the wall that reads, “A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist.” That Duke fist beat the living daylights out of Kentucky last Tuesday. With a whopping 34 point win, the game immediately spawned a Duke blue wave of new memes targeting everything from Econ 101 to those poor souls at UNC who have to face us in February. Five fingers form a fist, but we’ve got our #SightsOnSix. Apparently the bar at the Loop got pretty rowdy watching the game, which is kind of wild to imagine. Picture this: it’s a Tuesday night in November and you’re out of food points because you bought the smallest plan. Stupid! But Duke’s playing tonight, so you head down to the Loop bar because Krafthouse has a sporty vibe, and you’re a scholar not an athlete. You slide your DukeCard across the bar and order a local IPA (because you’re a hybrid hip/edgy teen). “Food points?” the bartender asks. “I’m out,” you say. The bartender shrugs. “Weird FLEX, but okay.” Stunned by his horrible pun, you proceed to get absolutely smashed and make an utter fool of

yourself. But hey, we won! The definition of “arbitrary:” Hyde House and Senate square up Who is Duke Student Government? What is Duke Student Government? But most importantly, why is Duke Student Government … being sued? That question came to court a few weeks ago, with the selective social group Hyde House suing DSG Senate, arguing that they were treated unfairly during their hearing to become a chartered organization. Too long, didn’t read? They said, “We’d like to be an organization,” and Senate said, “Hmm, no thanks.” Hyde House didn’t much care for that, so they went to court. Luckily our local defenders of justice were there to adjudicate the matter properly. Cloaked in sharp black robes and an air of judicial mystique, the Judiciary had some exasperated words for Hyde House representatives like, “What the hell is this?” and “Is that even a legal argument?” and “You’ve got to be f***ing kidding me right now.” In the end, the Senate won and Hyde House had their Halloween party. Sometimes everybody gets a win. If ya had the chance to change your [registration window], wouldja? Have you satisfied all of your Trinity requirements? Did you know that areas of knowledge can’t stack, but modes of inquiry can? Have you considered that some courses are only offered in the Spring, even though they always fill up? These are the questions that make Duke students sweat bullets every time registration season comes around. The story’s always the same. You’ve got a perfect class. It satisfies three requirements, fits perfectly with your schedule, and it’s been in your bookbag for weeks now. You wake up at 6:30 so you can walk to Perkins and use the computers there; the wired internet is faster, they say. When the clock strikes 7 a.m. you smash the enroll button, but wait, there was a slight lag! Now the class is full and you’re 27th on the waitlist. Oh, sweet summer child. DukeHub always wins. Monday Monday would like to know, is it Thanksgiving yet? And is Thanksgiving even a break if you have to do work the entire time?

Convince Duke to divest from fossil fuels

ossil fuel divestment. What is it, and how can we as students advocate on its behalf? Divestment, broadly defined, is when an institution decides to voluntarily phase out, or divest, its financial investments in a particular sector or industry, as well as commit to ending all future investments in said sector until desired outcomes are met. Essentially, it is the opposite

Lannette Rangel GUEST COLUMN of investment. Thus, fossil fuel divestment is when an institution systematically ceases investment in the fossil fuel sector. Institutions invest in companies to generate income for themselves. That investment aids the company by generating capital and increasing its apparent value by signalling desirability in the market. Duke is one such institution that invests to benefit its future and the well being of its students. The fossil fuel divestment movement has grown substantially in recent years. Globally, there has been over $7 trillion divested as of 2018. Why, you might ask? Two words: climate change. Our climate is changing fast: now is the time to pull out all the stops to limit our planet’s warming to below the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

has deemed as the level that will keep our planet, and us, from facing future environmental catastrophe. Or is that future now upon us? People around the world, including right here in North Carolina, are already facing the devastating impacts of climate change. Hurricane Florence was strengthened by rising seas and warmer water temperatures. Further afield, many of Duke’s international students hail from countries that are already being impacted by climate change and that face grave climate risk in the near future. A report released by the IPCC earlier this month warns that we only have 12 years to drastically change course to keep our planet’s warming at 1.5º C to stave off the worst catastrophes. The time to act is now. And we must all act. Not just as individuals, but also collectively through our most powerful and well-respected institutions. Duke University can, and should, act in the face of the global climate crisis, thereby living up to its mission of maintaining “a place of real leadership” in the world. Having already committed to carbon neutrality by 2024, Duke should extend that same commitment to sustainability to its financial investments by divesting its endowment from fossil fuels. Our university’s endowment of $8.5 billion, the 10th largest private college endowment in the U.S. for 2018, if divested, would serve as a powerful example to other educational institutions around the world, lending considerable power to the global divestment movement. Broad student support for divestment, as evidenced by last month’s endorsements by both the Duke Student Government and Graduate and Professional Student

Council to divest the University’s endowment, is strong and growing. Now it is up to the Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility (ACIR), the committee in charge of advising the president on ethically responsible investing, to act with respect for the desire of its students. ACIR has the power to recommend divestment to the university president, which will make the ultimate decision whether Duke divests its endowment. ACIR’s position is that it would like to see additional substantantive campus discourse around divestment. In response, I challenge the Duke community— faculty as well as students—to actively participate in discussing fossil fuel divestment and bringing their views on this issue to university leadership. My hope is that this piece is just the beginning of a crucial campus conversation. This conversation has never been more critical, as climate change marks a pivotal moment in humanity’s history. The mission of Duke’s endowment is to “support the people, programs, and activities of the university in perpetuity.” There will be no perpetuity if the global economy doesn’t transition away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Duke has the opportunity to be a leader in this transition though divestment. Duke recognizes that it has unique strengths to address the critical environmental challenges of our time. Now, it is time for our University to harness these strengths and align its rhetoric with action. Lannette Rangel is a first year master’s of environmental management student at the Nicholas School and is a part of the Duke Climate Coalition.

magine a typical Wednesday night at Duke. As students filter out of classes and pack up to leave the library, they scroll through their phones— texting friends and catching up on missed GroupMe messages—to coordinate their plans for the night ahead. In the midst of stressful and busy weeks, many students look to unwind with their friends, dancing the night away at Duke’s most frequented bar, Shooters. Though many students enter the night hoping to make wild memories,

weapons. As students and Americans, we should be scared. Some of you may remember my column published in March of last year, following the devastating attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. When I began writing for the Chronicle, I never expected that I would write multiple articles about annihilation in the face of insufficient gun control legislation. Yet, here I am again, less than one year later, begging the government, the country and the powers that be to decide

Carley Lerner COLUMNIST it’s decidedly improbable that they fear this outing will cost them their lives. I never considered this a possibility, and neither did the victims of last Wednesday’s brutal shooting at Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California. The bar had been hosting a country college night, attracting students from the nearby California Lutheran and Pepperdine University. Around 2:00 a.m., while many Duke students were still riding the bull and dancing at Shooters, a gunman opened fire on Borderline Bar and claimed the lives of 12 people. Borderline Bar was not a remarkable location for a shooting. It was just a bar, the Shooters equivalent of Thousand Oaks. The victims of this heinous crime were not chosen or specifically targeted by the gunman. They were just people. Many of them were students, just like us. It had been a regular Wednesday night, the same as any other college campus in the country, and then a gunman turned hundreds of worlds upside down. In moments like this, when an act of malice hits unbelievably close to home, we are terrified by the reality that it could have been us. 312 days into 2018, the United States’ legislation has enabled 307 mass shootings to confound our nation. We live in a society with very few arms regulations, that make it extremely easy for individuals with malicious agendas to obtain automatic

that enough is enough. I am tired of waking up to gut-wrenching headlines, informing me that another group of Americans have been slaughtered by the system. This system—that allows a plethora of individuals to obtain firearms, that alerts the President when it is time to tweet another round of prayers to broken families, that desensitizes the country to the atrocity of murder—is broken. It is not enough to pray, and it is not enough to empathize. Now is the time to take action. We are all responsible for the lives of our fellow citizens, and we must protect these lives through voting, speaking out and advocating for strict gun laws. Maybe you’ve only been to Shooters once, driven by curiosity and later repulsed by the sweaty crowd, or maybe you go on a weekly basis, enamored by the euphoric escape from academics. Regardless, you should be able to go out without wondering if the trip will be your last moments on this planet. You should feel safe to have fun and unwind with your friends, and you should not have to worry that, at any moment, a gunman could fire a bullet through your body. We cannot take our safety for granted any longer: enough is enough. Carley Lerner is a Trinity sophomore. Her column runs on alternate Mondays.

ast week, we were ecstatic about the unanimous passage of our resolution that called upon administration to directly address the issue of hate and bias on our campus by developing standard policies to address it. Unfortunately, this excitement was short-lived; yet another act of hate occurred in our community. Regardless of

DSG Equity and Outreach Committee GUEST COLUMN the motivations for these acts, their impact is damaging and widely felt. It’s not strictly the words or the symbols of these acts that cause harm, but rather, the message that they convey. In the current national climate, our country is divided on multiple fronts as national leaders are singling out groups of people based on race, sexual orientation and gender identity; in other words, people are constantly judged on major facets of their identity. However, we must rise above the ideologies that seek to differentiate and divide us. Here on the Equity & Outreach Committee, we know that one identity we all have in common is our humanity. We are all human. Of course, we each reflect the variations, both physical and mental, that encapsulate the human experience. This one point of commonality should be sufficient for all of us to treat each other with respect—treat each other equitably. Of course, it is naive to assume that our humanity alone can save us from the divisive rhetoric that has been ingrained in us from the day we entered this society, but it is realistic to believe that our humanity can at least enable us to treat one another with compassion. This humanity should provide us the ability to openly talk with one another, even if we don’t look the same, and hear out others and understand their experiences. If we understand each other’s experiences of judgement as a result of the negative aspects of humanity, then we can reconcile our differences by using the compassion and empathy that also exist within our humanity. Furthermore, we can use our understanding of others’ experiences to change the culture of our university from within by openly

accepting those around us, and respecting them on the grounds of our shared humanity. While there is obviously plenty of work to be done to help our peers reconcile themselves with one another and move towards becoming an ideal community that is truly inclusive and equitable for all, we can all take the first step towards approaching that ideal by reaching out to one another and treating each other with respect and as humans. The Equity and Outreach Committee of Duke Student Government is tasked with enhancing a respectful and inclusive work and learning environment for the university. As members of this committee, we have grappled with the fact that our work is not always able to produce immediate, tangible effects in our community, yet we remain steadfast in our commitment to our mission. We recognize that there is often an undue burden on the students who are on the receiving end of hate and bias motivated incidents to spread awareness on issues of inequity on campus. To those students, we thank you for your resilience in the face of such incidents and understand that there is only so much an individual can withstand. We do not expect, and the university should not expect, for these students to continuously provide the free labor of single-handedly educating the Duke community about their experiences. In the face of adversity, we intend to carry out our mission to the best of our abilities, and we invite y’all to let us know what’s pissing you off regarding the state of inequity on campus. We will be having open committee meetings the first Thursday of every month at 8pm in the DSG office in the Bryan Center, and we welcome/encourage students emailing us in advance to schedule a conversation at any other time. If you’d prefer to submit comments anonymously, you can use the Google form found in the online version of this column to let us know what’s pissing you off.

Two of the houses in The Hollows contain selective living groups. Thus, there are nine total houses in The Hollows, with 11 living groups. Gonzalez explained that they divided the different selective living groups into three groups based on size: Small is fewer than 28 beds, medium is 28 to 40 beds, and large is greater than 40 beds. They then divided the available houses into those three categories to determine where each group would fit. The houses that are moving were allowed the opportunity to choose which house they wanted to move to given their options, Gonzalez said. The order of selection was determined by how well the selective living groups met expectations, such as filling all the beds and meeting class distribution requirements. The groups that performed the best chose first. The order of selection for independent houses were randomly generated. “We were trying to do it as fair as possible, so that’s how we ended up using expectation performance to determine the selection order for the selective living groups,” Gonzalez said. “We thought that was a neutral way of choosing who would select first.” Gonzalez said he has not received any pushback to the changes from the students so far. However, Dant explained that the metrics they used to decide selection order were too quantitative and did not take into account citizenship on campus. When Gonzalez was asked about why classdistribution requirements were being taken into account at an Interfraternity Council meeting, Dant wrote in an email that “he gave a pretty weak answer about how they don’t

think communities should be missing seniors, but that is not quite how Greek communities at Duke tend to operate.” He also noted that they experienced large delays in communication and were given the selection order without knowing how they performed in the metrics. Senior Alexis Salcedo, president of Zeta Tau Alpha, said that the selection process was communicated to them very clearly. They were provided with the selection ranking order and detailed information about each housing option, such as number of bedrooms and facilities, she explained. Salcedo consulted with her sorority before deciding which house to live in next year. “The girls who would be living there seem very excited about moving and having access to the brand new building,” Salcedo wrote in an email. “I think it is a great opportunity given that there have been many issues with Central in the past, and now with a brand new building, the living experience will be much improved.” Craven is the last house that needs to renovated, so Gonzalez said they are hoping to build another dorm or two in order to house those at 300 Swift onto West Campus. “I think having almost everyone on West will be a very positive thing for the student community and have an impact on campus in a very positive way,” Gonzalez said.

POOP FROM PAGE 3 issue and solves the problem locally. However, as they went along, Nagar and Deshusses quickly saw potential for their technology in the developed world as well. “In the developed world, we have the most sophisticated wastewater methods but still end up with some residue, the concentrated biosolids,” Nagar said. “Usually, this residue either goes into a landfill in most cases or is

applied on crops. But the challenge with that is those biosolids contain a lot of contaminants, like pathogens and non-biodegradable materials like pharmaceuticals, microplastics, etc.” Municipalities pay hefty amounts just to transport these biosolids. Nagar pointed out that New York City has to transport their waste to Alabama because no one closer will take it. Transportation not only incurs significant energy and financial costs, but it also increases greenhouse emissions. Furthermore, the wastewater industry is extremely spaceintensive compared to a SWCO reactor. “The traditional method takes about 3.5 acres to treat waste from 1,000 people,” Nagar said. “We can do the same with a 20-foot container, so this is three orders of magnitude smaller footprint than what’s currently done.” Thus, instead of using costly, energyinefficient, off-site biological treatment that will leave some residue to be disposed in landfills, this technology can solve those problems on-site and generate clean, reusable water. Nagar added the whole process costs five cents per person per day, less than what it costs a traditional waste water treatment plant.

minorities as a great asset to the American melting pot, Paul said. In relation to social issues, Paul referenced famed German theologian Martin Niemöller’s work. “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist…. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me,” Niemöller wrote. In this vein, Paul argued that there is a need to take a stance against evils such as the widespread racial disparity of the justice system. Too many people of color spend years in prison awaiting trials because release bonds are set at too high a price, Paul said. Paul also said that the most fundamental job of the government is “to protect people’s liberty.” He is an advocate of a small government, one so small that you “almost cannot see it.” Although he emphasized that it is the government’s duty to ensure that there is universality in the way people are treated, he does not believe that “the government should be in the redistribution business.” In light of a shooting Wednesday night that left 12 dead in a California bar, Paul said that that banning guns will not need lead to any less gun violence—California’s strict gun regulation didn’t stop the most recent mass shooting. Instead, communities must recognize potentially threatening individuals and take early warnings signs seriously. Paul answered a final question about libertarian perspective on abortion. Libertarians advocate for non-intrusive principles, but there is no clear pro-life or pro-choice consensus, Paul said. Libertarians are divided on the issues because they have diverging opinions as to Bre Bradham | Contributing Photographer whether and when a fetus can be considered a A Duke startup is turning poop into clean water. living child, Paul said.
