William Brody to be next Grad Young Trustee

COMEBACK IN THE CARDS

By Nathan Luzum

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—For more than a half hour Tuesday night, Duke looked dead in the water.

Trailing by 23, the Blue Devils were certainly on their way to just their third loss of the season.

Then the Cardinal lead dwindled.

16, then 14, then 12, then 10. Zion Williamson then pumped his fist, adding a free throw for emphasis as Duke was within seven.

Were the Blue Devils about to pull it off? Indeed.

Second-ranked Duke dominated the final 10 minutes to pull off the most improbable of comebacks and stun No. 16 Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center, winning DUKE 71 71-69 to stay U of L 69 perfect on the road in ACC play. The Blue Devils scored 14 of the last 17 points, as freshman Cam Reddish scored 10 down the stretch to help Duke overcome its largest deficit of the Coach K era.

William Brody will serve as the next Graduate Young Trustee.

The Graduate and Professional Student Council’s General Assembly elected Brody to the position at its Tuesday night meeting. He will be an observer for the first year of his term on the Board of Trustees and then will serve as a voting member for his second and third years.

“I am incredibly grateful and humbled by the fact that the graduate and professional community believes in me to take on this role,” Brody told The Chronicle after the meeting.

“I’m really excited to get going.”

Nathan Bullock—a doctoral student in the department of art, art history and visual studies—and Sam Howe—a student at the School of Law—were the other two finalists in the running to become Graduate Young Trustee.

Brody is an alumnus of two Duke schools, as he graduated from the Fuqua School of Business in 2018 with a master of business arts and received his undergraduate degree from Duke’s Trinity College of Arts and Sciences in 2012 with a major in economics and a concentration in markets and management studies. He currently serves as a managing director at BlueDot Properties in Durham.

“I’ve worked hard over the past several years to make a positive impact on Duke, and I look forward to continuing to do that and working with the graduate professional community to voice their concerns and working with the Board of Trustees to push the University in a positive direction,” he said after the election.

In addition to serving as a senator in Duke Student Government as an undergraduate, Brody was co-president of the Fuqua MBA Association for a year, where he managed a budget of more than $550,000.

“I’m a big believer in Duke’s vision, and I see the University as a driving force for good—both in the people it serves and in the community it’s a part of,” Brody told The Chronicle last week. “That’s not something that just happened, it’s the result of folks working hard year after year.”

The Gender Working Group he organized at Fuqua led to the creation of a women’s leadership course and additional funding to recruit female applicants. Female enrollment increased by 9 percent the next year.

The undergraduate Young Trustee is chosen by the undergraduate student body in a popular election, which began Tuesday at noon and will end Wednesday at noon.

Meredith Watson recently accused Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, Trinity ‘00, of sexually assaulting her. Watson, Trinity ‘01, also said that she had been raped by a men’s basketball player while at Duke.

The New York Times reported Monday night that the previously unnamed basketball player is Corey Maggette, who played for Duke from 1998-99. Maggette said in a statement he had only learned about the sexual assault allegations through media accounts and a statement from Meredith Watson’s lawyer.

“I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my life and I completely and

categorically deny any such charge,” Maggette said in a statement reported by The New York Times.

The New York Times reported that Watson had told friends that Maggette raped her when they were students 20 years ago. According to a statement released by Watson’s legal representative Friday night, Watson said she had been raped by an unnamed Duke basketball player during her sophomore year and claimed that she told Fairfax about the assault.

“Ms. Watson was raped by a basketball player during her sophomore year at Duke. She went to the Dean, who provided no help and discouraged her from pursuing the claim further,” the Friday statement said. “Ms. Watson also told friends, including Justin Fairfax.”

White House chief of staff, will visit Duke

By Sam Kim Senior News Reporter

Retired General John Kelly, former White House chief of staff to President Donald Trump, is coming to Duke just months after walking away from the White House.

Kelly will discuss leading America through global turbulence in Page Auditorium on March 6.

In the free, public event hosted by the Duke Program in American Grand Strategy, Peter Feaver, professor of political science and public policy and the program’s director, will interview Kelly.

“John Kelly served in one of the most important and consequential jobs in the U.S. government...during one of the most interesting of times: the first two years of the Trump administration,” Feaver said in a Duke Today news release.

Kelly had been serving as the homeland security secretary in the Trump administration when he was selected to replace Reince Priebus, who spoke at Duke in 2017, as chief of staff.

Before his stint in government, Kelly was a four-star general of the U.S. Marine Corps and commander of the U.S. Southern Command, which covers Central and South Americas and the Caribbean, including the U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. As chief of staff, Kelly was said to impose military order on a White House marked by high turnover. But reports emerged that Kelly was unhappy in the position and he stepped down at the end of 2018.

“This is a rare opportunity to hear a candid firsthand account from the man who worked at the center of the government, to hear his answers to the questions that everyone has been talking about since the earliest days of the administration, and to learn how his military service prepared him for this post,” Feaver said in the release.

Tickets for the talk will be available beginning Feb. 14 at the box office’s website and in-person at the Duke Box Office in the Bryan Center.

‘Never-ending question’: History of Duke’s on-campus woods

By Carter Forinash Staff Reporter

Duke markets itself as a university in a forest, but some woods are within the campus.

Juxtaposed with new buildings and the humdrum of university life, two parcels of woods have carved out spaces in the middle of West Campus despite the ever-growing University that surrounds them.

Anderson Woods, at the corner of Science Drive and Towerview Road, covers around six acres, while Chapel Woods, behind the Duke Chapel, covers under five. Despite their small size, both woods are influential in some ways to Duke’s mission as educational, scientific and aesthetic resources to the Duke community.

Although the two parcels of forest represent remarkably different environments, they still have much to offer the University say those familiar with them.

‘A staunch defender’ The woods that would eventually be named for Lewis E. Anderson were first sampled in 1932 by Clarence Korstian, founding dean of the School of Forestry and first director of the Duke Forest.

The Anderson Woods have been consistently studied since 1978, when Norman Christensen—founding dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment and now professor emeritus in the division of environmental sciences and policy—established the first set of permanent plots in the trees. Christensen said the woods have been sampled by faculty and students at Duke routinely since the mid-1980s.

Some of the most recent data from the Anderson Woods came courtesy of trees cleared to make room for the Student Wellness Center in 2015. Samples of those trees revealed pines more than 280 years old, with others in the woods likely more than 300 years old.

Anderson was among the faculty who used the woods, both before and after the permanent plots were established. He arrived at Duke in the mid-1930s, staying at the University until he retired in 1982. A professor of botany, he was a consistent presence in the woods and a vigorous defender of them until his

death in 2007.

“It wasn’t an accident that the woods got named for Lewis Anderson, because he was vigorous in his defense over the years,” Christensen said. “He lived to be 95, died in 2007, and he was a staunch defender of the woods up to that point.”

A ‘University in the forest’ Duke both prides and markets itself as a campus tied to the natural areas that form much of West Campus.

“From an aesthetic standpoint, I think that many of us felt that one of the great beauties of the Duke campus was that it was a landscape that was broken by these really interesting natural places,” Christensen said. “That’s kind of a brand for this University.”

The Duke Master Plan, last updated in 2012, lays out 12

Term 1: May 15-June 27 Term 2: July 1-August 11

(4-week courses also available in both terms)

guiding principles and goals to guide University planning.

Among these 12 core principles is that “Duke is a University in the Forest,” committed to “identifying natural areas that need to be conserved and restored, limiting construction and interventions to those that maintain the quality and character of the environment.”

The University’s focus on the forested areas of campus goes beyond strategic planning into the University’s admissions recruitment strategies. The Duke Undergraduate Admissions website mirrors the language of the master plan, again describing Duke as a “University in the Forest.”

This tenet also helps tie alumni to the school, said Jason Elliott, sustainability assistant director for the Duke Office of See WOODS on Page 4

“That aesthetic value matters a lot to Duke,” he said. “When people come back who graduated 40 years ago, they can still see those trees, and it matters to them.”

A ‘living classroom’ The Duke Master Plan also positions the University as “a Leader in Environmental Stewardship,” recognizing the University’s natural environment as a “living classroom” for the Duke community.

The idea of on-campus forests as a “living classroom” is not lost on Duke faculty, who often use the Anderson and Chapel Woods in their teaching. Professors at Duke continue to use the woods not only as a teaching resource, but as a change of scenery for normal lectures and even as an alternative exam location.

“I do it with students who have never been in the woods, and they find out immediately that it is a different place to learn,” said Paul Manos, Jack H. Neely professor of biology.

‘A never-ending question’ Despite the central role of on-campus forests in the University’s identity, the status of forests on West Campus has consistently come into question as West Campus has expanded over the past 40 years.

Christensen said that his involvement with the Anderson and Chapel Woods has spanned nearly a half century.

“I came to Duke 45 years ago and literally within days went out—it was right across the street—and almost immediately started using the woods,” Christensen said.

At the time, the Anderson Woods site was being considered as the location for a new dorm.

At the request of Lewis Anderson, Christensen wrote to then-University President Terry Sanford to defend the woods from development. The response from Sanford was very positive, Christensen noted, and the site was not chosen to host the new construction.

However, the expansion of West Campus was not nearly finished in the early-to-mid-1970s.

“Some years after that, [around 1980 or 1981], not quite a decade, the University was laying the foundations for the Bryan Center and the idea came up of putting parking for the Bryan Center where Anderson Woods are,” Christensen said.

He once again wrote to President Sanford, who committed to protecting the Anderson and Chapel Woods for as long as he had a say in the matter, according to Christensen.

By 2001, the Anderson Woods, still popularly known at the time as the Bryan Center Woods, were again threatened by the then-proposed Bryan Center parking deck, which now overlooks the old-growth forest.

The Chronicle reported at the time that faculty were concerned about the parking garage’s impact on the Anderson Woods and the animal populations that the woods harbor.

A decade and a half later, the 2014 planning process for the Student Wellness Center caused tension between University administration and faculty who saw the new building as a threat to the neighboring woods.

“The Wellness Center was a wakeup call to everyone,” Christensen said. “You can’t keep nibbling, because if you walk in that area you’ll find that that area has been incredibly invaded with non-native species.”

At the time, a group of 58 faculty members from the biology department and the Nicholas School of the environment filed a formal letter with Executive Vice President Tallman Trask.

The family of Lewis Anderson, including four of his children, also signed the letter. In the letter, the faculty urged the University to both protect the woods and give concerned faculty a greater role in the decision-making process around new construction.

“We were disappointed first that this area, which provides so much environmental and aesthetic benefit and is so important for ecological research and teaching, would be selected for a project that will greatly diminish those values (albeit providing a student service),” the letter stated.

In response, the Board of Trustees formally named Anderson Woods and Chapel Woods in April 2015, officially preserving them for the foreseeable future.

However, with no clear end to the expansion of West Campus, the tension between University development and preservation of natural spaces on campus seems unlikely to dissipate entirely.

“I look at this as kind of a never-ending question,” said Dan Richter, professor in the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences.

When it comes time to assemble Valentine’s Day-themed playlists every year, I’m often struck at just how easy it is to ascribe “love song” status to nearly any piece of pop music: Love, heartbreak and all their variations probably account for a good 50 percent of pop — from “Be My Baby” all the way down to “thank u, next” — and for the rest, it isn’t too difficult to draw the line.

Rarer, though, is the music that wears its love on its sleeve, in all its effusive, soppy glory.

This is where, for me, the somewhat nebulous genre known as “twee pop” takes the mantle as the most fitting accompaniment to Valentine’s Day. Like the holiday, it’s as anodyne as it is sometimes alienating, as charming as it is cloying. But despite its detractors, there’s no denying the influence twee has had on what we now know as indie rock, and for that reason alone, it’s worth taking (somewhat) seriously.

As a whole, “twee” is a somewhat difficult label to pin down, because it can be applied to almost anything with a vague childlike innocence and an unswerving belief in love.

(By this metric, pretty much anything from the 1960s, from the Beatles’ early singles to the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds,” is undeniably “twee.”) But it didn’t emerge as a genre proper — and by virtue of its very name, a genre mostly dismissed by critics — until the 1980s, when DIY culture was taking off among the British underground.

Coming at the start of that decade was the English band Television Personalities’ debut album, “...And Don’t the Kids Just Love It,” a record that bore all the hallmarks of twee: infectious melodies, playful lyrics, jangling guitars and a decidedly amateurish production value — an apparent obsession with the 1960s.

Five years later, British music magazine NME would release “C86,” a cassette compilation featuring contemporary indie bands in a time when the term “indie” hadn’t even taken hold in the popular lexicon. By the end of the decade, Britain’s Sarah Records and the United States’ K Records had become havens for this

type of DIY music — much of which had definitively “twee” leanings.

What these artists have in common is a balance between self-conscious irony and genuine sentimentality, along with a firm commitment to a do-it-yourself aesthetic.

They’re rarely “cool,” but that’s not the point.

Any look at the cover designs from this era reveals the care that went into these records — almost like a homemade Valentine. And so, in celebration of a holiday with no shortage of songs to its name, here’s where to start with twee pop, the true patron saint of February 14.

Beat Happening, “Beat Happening” With an album cover that features a stick-

staff note figure cat riding a spaceship, Beat Happening’s 1985 debut may be a case study in everything there is to hate about twee. Taking the disregard for skill level pioneered by punk rock and combining it with a childlike primitivism, the Olympia, Wash., trio alternates between moments of grating noise and endearing (or, perhaps, annoying) sweetness. While the lack of proficiency can be jarring, “Beat Happening” has some gems, and as the founding members of K Records, Beat Happening would spark a musical legacy that helped launch the careers of Built to Spill, Bikini Kill and Modest Mouse.

The Orchids, “Lyceum” On the other side of the pond from K Records, the Bristol-based Sarah Records led the twee movement in Britain (and in true DIY form, promptly threw a party and shut itself down in 1995, after releasing 100 records).

One of the label’s best releases is The Orchids’

“Lyceum,” a brief, eight-track mini-album of gently crafted pop. Th lead track “It’s Only Obvious” is pure twee bliss, reaching a cathartic, if melodramatic, peak with its chorus: “Who needs tomorrow, when all I needed was you?”

Would-Be-Goods, “The Camera Loves Me” Drawing influences from Caribbean music and loosely based around a fascination with famed English photographer Cecil Beaton, “The Camera Loves Me” may be the most outwardly bizarre selection on this list. But the trademarks of twee are there, with their rough-around-the-edges vocals and sugarcoated melodies, on tracks like “Velasquez and I” and “Marvelous Boy.” It doesn’t hurt that lead singer Jessica Griffin has a sense of humor about it all, too, leaning into unabashed camp on “Pinstriped Rebel” and “Fruit Paradise.”

The Aislers Set, “The Last Match” With many twee bands filtered ‘60s-style melodies through a shambling punk aesthetic, San Francisco’s The Aislers Set went straight to the source, taking cues from Phil Spector’s classic productions. Although the group released its debut album, “The Last Match,” in 2000, you wouldn’t know it from a first listen: It’s packed full of intricate arrangements that hearken back to both girl pop and the early days of indie, and there’s a distinct melancholic haze permeating these tracks that seems to place them outside of the 21st century. Lead singer Amy Linton’s voice drifts low in the mix among organs and handclaps, while Wyatt Cusick lends a bit of levity on songs like the lovelorn “Chicago New York.”

Duke Arts and NC Arts Council announce new documentary initiative

By Nina Wilder Design Editor

In the 1970s, a recent Duke graduate named George Holt — who is now director of performing arts and film programs at the NC Museum of Art — organized one of North Carolina’s first folk festivals on Duke’s campus.

With the help of Holger Nygard, a former Duke professor of folklore and medieval literature who passed away in 2015, Holt expanded his scope and formed a folk festival that would eventually become the Festival for the Eno, which still takes place annually at the Eno River State Park.

Perhaps most importantly, Holt’s efforts in amplifying and celebrating North Carolina’s rich history of folklife paid off with another tangible result: By the end of the decade, the North Carolina Arts Council established a folklife program focused on promoting public knowledge and appreciation of North Carolina’s folklife and traditional arts, as well as identifying and documenting traditional artists within the state.

So it is only fitting that Duke is returning to its roots in folklife by launching a partnership between Duke Arts and the NC Arts Council for the former’s 2019 Spring Documentary Initiative.

The two organizations will join forces to support the NCAC’s Millennial Traditional Artists Project, which was created in 2016 to propel the careers of young traditional artists by providing them with high-quality digital media. The artists that the NCAC would define as “traditional” are individuals who create art born out of a sense of identity, community and tradition, including Chinese dancers who perform 5000-year-old choreography, Appalachian banjo players and

Native American basket weavers.

Sally Peterson, folklife director at the NC Arts Council, stressed that a lack of access to career-building resources is one of the principal challenges that traditional artists currently face.

“Many [young traditional artists] learn their arts within a community setting or a family setting, so they don’t often have the built-in advantages that you derive if you are lucky enough to follow a program at a university,” Peterson said. “They don’t have access to the kinds of information about building a career, about promoting yourself.”

And although institutional support is extremely critical for finding success within the traditional arts field, Peterson pointed out that materials like professional portraits, which seem almost ubiquitous in the professional world, are tough to obtain for traditional artists.

“One of the things we found out is that it’s particularly difficult for some of these young people to get good, high-resolution photographs of their work, their performances, their story,” Peterson said. “But we also know through our connections with the UNC American Studies program and Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies that North Carolina can boast probably the most young people who are studying documentation of traditional communities.”

From that sentiment arose NCAC’s desire to partner with Duke, as well as other universities within the Piedmont region of North Carolina.

For the initiative, volunteer photographers will be partnered with a traditional artist who works within the Piedmont, meet with the artist for one to two photography sessions and then provide them with a series of high-resolution

photographs that they can then use for professional purposes, such as album covers or publicity materials. Volunteers can be of any age or professional creed, but the organizers hope Duke students will benefit from it.

“What I want from [the partnership] is the understanding that we can do more of these types of meaningful, layered projects that connect students with really unique opportunities and real-world products,” said Katy Clune, arts communications specialist for the Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts.

She also holds an M.A. in folklore from UNCChapel Hill. “This is a chance to get off campus and meet a creative person in their community within the Piedmont, learn about what they do and collaborate on a portrait that will have an impact on the artist’s career and yours.”

The Millennial Traditional Artists Project will kick off March 23 with a gathering of the traditional artists involved and the photographers they’ll be partnered with, as well as artists and professionals not directly tied to the project or organization. The artists (and arts) represented will include spoken word poets, chefs, craftspeople, hip-hop artists, dancers, musicians and more — a seemingly small sample of the inexhaustible variety of traditional arts that are practiced in North Carolina.

“I use two phrases [to describe folklore]: ‘the activist pursuit of beauty in the ordinary’ and ‘the study of artistic expression in everyday life,’” Clune said, quoting Steve Zeitlin of CityLore in NYC. “That’s a very broad definition ... but traditional artists are a diverse mix.”

Special to The Chronicle Barry Berger and photographer discuss their work at the kickoff event for the documentary initiative.

Jordan Goldwire’s lockdown defense off the bench sparks improbable second-half comeback

By Mitchell Gladstone Sports Features Editor

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Mike Krzyzewski looked down his bench, his team in need of a spark. The Hall of Famer called on his star, Zion Williamson, even though the freshman had just picked up his fourth foul two minutes prior.

And Coach K also signaled for Jordan Goldwire, the Blue Devils’ backup point guard who entered the night with just 42 minutes under his belt during conference play In a matter of minutes, Goldwire went from afterthought to game-changer.

“We found something,” Krzyzewski said afterwards when asked about the decision to play Goldwire alongside starting floor general Tre Jones down the stretch. “[Jordan] had the best look of anyone on the bench. Sometimes when you look down, and he was sitting at the edge of his seat wanting to get in, so let’s get in, man, and then you didn’t want to take him out.”

Thanks mainly to Jones, Duke hasn’t had to stray from its traditional man-to-man defense much this season. The Blue Devils rank fourth in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency, lead the country in steal percentage and trail just Syracuse in block percentage.

Except Tuesday night, Duke didn’t look like its controlling self for more than a half hour. The Blue Devils were sloppy in transition, allowing Louisville to get easy bucket after easy bucket. And it didn’t help that Duke was chucking up shots, chasing a game that seemed well out of reach.

Simran Prakash | Staff Photographer

Jordan Goldwire saw a starring role Tuesday thanks to his defense.

Then came the switch.

“We felt that the 2-2-1 [zone], we don’t do it very much, but we actually practiced it for this game, so we felt we could do it,” Krzyzewski said.

“We did it one time in the first half, and everything we did in the first half was not good. Maybe the sense of urgency—sometimes something you do doesn’t work because of the attitude you have when you do it, so the sense of urgency made the defense work.”

The Blue Devils extended their defense, using Goldwire and Jones to suffocate the Cardinals in their own backcourt. After Duke had just one steal at halftime, it racked up 11 in the final 20

minutes, leading to 19 points off turnovers for the night.

Remember that three-star recruit the Blue Devils plucked from Eastern Kentucky two years ago? Now, he’s going down as a part of Duke lore.

“Jordan’s my player of the game,” Williamson said. “He came in and played great minutes and left it all out there on the court.”

In his 11 minutes of action, Goldwire took just two shots—he missed both. The second was by far the more egregious, a breakaway layup that the Blue Devils desperately needed in their comeback bid.

When the ball slipped out of the sophomore’s

hands, it just looked to be that kind of night.

“I know it was a bad layup. I was embarrassed a little bit but just trying to make up for it any way I could,” Goldwire said. “My teammates had my back. They knew I should’ve made the layup, but they weren’t mad at me or anything.... They were confident in me and I was just trying to do what I can to help the team.”

But the Norcross, Ga., native redeemed himself—and then some. Goldwire grabbed a pair of steals, played a crucial role in several other Cardinal turnovers and ended the night with a +22 plus-minus, by far the best of any Blue Devil.

“Our thing going into the game was play harder than them, and we weren’t able to do that, so that’s a lesson for our guys,” Krzyzewski said. “However, the other lesson is maybe Goldwire can play more, and the 2-2-1 may be added to what we’re doing.

“What have we played? We’ve played 24 games.

They’ve played 24 games in their career, so we can still learn a lot. We learned a lot tonight, and they didn’t give up.”

Tuesday night also showed one of Duke’s other glaring weaknesses: depth. The Blue Devils’ starters played nearly 75 percent of their minutes, and for the year, Duke ranks in the bottom third of the country in bench minutes.

Is Goldwire the solution to the Blue Devils’ depth woes? Almost certainly not.

Still, it seems like Duke will find ways to add him into the mix more down the stretch.

“Being in there in a moment like that helped my confidence,” Goldwire said. “It’s something I’m trying to keep building on.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Duke set for Valentine’s date with Virginia Tech

By Glen Morgenstern Staff Writer

Duke’s 47 points against Virginia Sunday marked its lowest scoring output of the season and caused a fall to 12th in the ACC standings.

Its next opponent, Virginia Tech, is brimming with its own inconsistencies, and most recently got a smackdown from No. 2 Louisville to boot.

So don’t be surprised if there isn’t a lot of love in the air when the Blue Devils tip off against the Hokies at 7 p.m. Thursday VT at Cameron Indoor vs.

S t a d i u m — t h a t’s Duke Valentine’s Day, for the less romantically inclined. The date THURSDAY, 7 p.m. will certainly be Cameron Indoor Stadium

laden with baggage from Duke’s road trip.

Sunday’s game slipped away from its grasp in a now trademark botched fourth quarter.

The Blue Devils committed eight personal fouls in the final frame, letting the Cavaliers score 10 of their 16 fourth-quarter points on free throws.

“The fouls that we committed, particularly in the fourth quarter…were truly the difference in the game, despite the fact that we turned the ball over and didn’t get to the line ourselves,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said.

The Blue Devils (11-12, 3-8 in the ACC) must keep their hands to themselves against the Hokies if they want a chance at their fourth conference victory. Virginia Tech (158, 2-8) shoots 79.1 percent from the charity stripe, the second-highest mark in the country. The Hokies’ shooting stroke isn’t limited to the foul line, either, as they convert

38.2 percent of their attempts beyond the arc, good for 12th-best in the nation.

Both the young and the old stand out for the Hokies. Freshman guard Dara Mabrey headlines Virginia Tech’s lineup. Mabrey knocks down 48.7 percent of her long-range attempts—the second-highest percentage in nation. The sharpshooter made 41 of her 47 free throw attempts this year and leads her team with 58 assists. Duke will also have to watch out for redshirt senior forward Regan Magarity, who is averaging a double-double. She has recorded five of them during conference play this season, and it’s difficult to see either of the Blue Devils’ inexperienced forwards, Jade Williams or Onome Akinbode-James, stopping Magarity from adding another to the tally on Valentine’s Day.

M. BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1 “I told my team, I said, ‘Look, you’re not losers, but you’re playing like losers,’” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “[Louisville] outplayed us for 30 minutes. I mean, not just outplayed, they outcompeted us. I commend them. They probably were more deserving of winning, but in the last 10 minutes, we were spectacular.”

Following an R.J. Barrett layup to bring the Blue Devils (22-2, 10-1 in the ACC) within five, as close as they had been since late in the first half, Reddish canned a 3-pointer from the left wing to make it 66-64. And after a Jordan Nwora triple in response stretched the Cardinal lead back to five, Tre Jones stripped the ball away to bring Duke back within three.

Reddish then came up huge yet again, drilling a stone cold trey to tie things at 69 apiece with less than 90 seconds to play.

“We work so much, we get a ton of shots up in practice, so misses don’t really affect us that much and we knew we had to keep on shooting,” said Reddish, who missed all three of his long-distance attempts in the first half.

“During halftime, Coach came in and he didn’t want to get on us too, too bad. He said we were going to win the game. We trusted that, went out there and just played our game.”

Both teams came up empty on their next trips, respectively, setting the stage for the hosts to grab the lead in the final minute. But Nwora, Louisville’s leading scorer on the night with 23 points, missed a 3-pointer to give the Blue Devils a chance to go back in front for the first time in more than 25 minutes.

Reddish was whistled for a charge with 14.9

ticks remaining, seemingly giving the hosts the final possession of regulation. That was until the refs checked the monitor, overturning the initial call since Ryan McMahon was in the restricted area and giving the Blue Devil freshman two free throws.

Reddish cooly converted both, giving Duke a 71-69 lead and capping an epic final push.

“We weren’t ready to play at the beginning,” Barrett said. “They just kept taking it to us, but you know, somewhere with 7:30 left we found a spark and just kept pressuring them and kept going.”

Louisville (17-8, 8-4) would get one last shot to send things to overtime, but a Christen Cunningham jumper rimmed out just before the final buzzer.

Tuesday’s game began with as ugly a fourminute sequence as any. Neither team could get its offensive juices flowing as the two sides combined for just five points on 2-of-15 shooting.

But two of the ACC’s five best offenses would not stay that quiet for long.

The Blue Devils and Cardinals continued to exchange leads, with neither side going up by more than four for nearly 15 minutes.

Louisville then found its groove and began to stretch the lead. A Steven Enoch triple brought the black-clad fans inside the KFC Yum! Center to their feet, and the Cardinals kept it going.

The hosts went on an 11-3 run in just more than four minutes, taking advantage of lazy transition defense by Duke and grabbing a 3829 lead at halftime, capped by a buzzer-beating tip-in by Darius Perry.

With the Blue Devils showing little fight, the Cardinals only poured it on further after the break. Louisville began the second half on an 8-3 run, forcing Krzyzewski to call an early

sports

30-second timeout.

A few minutes later, the packed house erupted when Williamson picked up his third foul of the contest 90 feet from the basket.

Things didn’t get any better with the Blue Devils’ leading scorer on the bench.

Duke went without a field goal for nearly six minutes, as Louisville seized control with a 20-point lead.

When Williamson returned, he didn’t last long—less than 30 seconds after getting back on the floor, the 6-foot-7 forward committed his fourth foul, riling up the Cardinal faithful once more and sending Williamson right back to the pine.

That’s when the Blue Devils’ star heard a familiar voice.

“I don’t know if this is cheesy or corny, but my mom, she’s right behind the bench,” Williamson said. “She’s always been there for

The Chronicle me, she’s the reason I’m in this situation. When I heard her voice and she said ‘It’s okay, just be you. When you get back in, make them pay.’

Everything, all my frustrations went away and I tried to make them pay.”

Although it wasn’t Williamson on his own, the freshman played a crucial role. Duke went small, putting Williamson in the middle of its 2-2-1 zone and using the tandem of Tre Jones and Jordan Goldwire to pressure the Louisville backcourt.

With that switch, the Blue Devils found something—and just in time to make a miracle happen.

“That’s why I come to Duke, just to be a part of games like this,” Williamson said. “We never give up. We always look at each other and give each other that look like, ‘Hey, let’s do this.’ We got each other no matter what happens, win or lose. We’re not going to go out not fighting.”

Zion Williamson was the lone Blue Devil to find offensive success in the first half.

The Chronicle

MAGGETTE FROM PAGE 1 In an email Monday night, The Chronicle asked Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, for comment about the accusation against Maggette and the allegation that a dean had discouraged Watson from pursuing the claim.

“We are in the process of gathering information to determine what policies and procedures were in place during the time period in which these events are alleged to have occurred, and whether they were activated and followed,” Schoenfeld responded. “We are not able to provide further information or comment on any individual at this time.”

The New York Times reported that Watson told a childhood friend in 2001 that she had been raped by Maggette.

“Meredith told me she had been raped twice at Duke,” R. Stanton Jones, partner at Arnold & Porter law firm, told the New York Times. “And she told me that one of the men who raped her was the Duke basketball player Corey Maggette.

That was a name I knew because I’m a basketball fan.”

Jones told the New York Times that he was coming forward now because it “seemed like the right thing to do.”

A spokeswoman for Watson provided the New York Times with a Facebook message exchange between a friend and Watson. The New York Times was not able to independently verify its authenticity.

In the unverified messages, Watson expressed disgust about a news article written

about Fairfax in the messages from March 2017, The New York Times reported.

“You know I didn’t report [the assault] after how the university responded when I reported Corey Maggette,” Watson reportedly told the friend in the message.

After Duke men’s basketball’s win against Virginia Saturday, the team released the following statement from athletic director Kevin White: “Duke first learned of the allegations involving a student-athlete [Friday] when they were reported by the media. Coach [Mike] Krzyzewski confirms he had no knowledge of the alleged conduct from 1999. The university is looking into the matter and will have no further comment at this time.”

Krzyzewski commented on the issue after the victory.

“I’m not sure that it’s true or not, but there’s an allegation. I didn’t find out about it until late last night, and I have no knowledge about it,” Krzyzewski said in the postgame press conference. “That is hugely important. Our University will take care of whatever actions and give whatever information that’s needed to be done... something like that is serious. Our school looks at it that way and we’ll do whatever we can to make sure that we answer whatever questions are posed to us.”

During his lone season at Duke, Maggette was a key reserve in the Blue Devils’ run to the 1999 National Championship game, where they fell to Connecticut 77-74. Maggette declared for the 1999 NBA Draft following the season and was selected by the Seattle Supersonics with the 13th pick.

According to previous reporting by The Chronicle of his announcement, Maggette declared for the draft against the counsel of

State Jan. 27, and they came within three points of Louisville in their most recent loss. Add to that overtime collapses against ranked N.C. State and Syracuse squads, and we’re looking at a perfect love match between the Blue Devils and Virginia Tech.

It’s even difficult to tell them apart. For instance, the following quote could be from either McCallie or Tech head coach Kenny Brooks: “We played super hard, we battled like we do, but we certainly need to have a higher IQ relative to finishing games out.”

Can you guess which? It was McCallie, though it doesn’t really matter. Both lead programs which are traditionally cemented near the top of the basketball status quo.

Both have been left scratching their heads at the disappointing arcs of their seasons.

But only one can walk away with a more hopeful outlook on the future Thursday, and it is McCallie who has more to look forward to in the coming years. Her team is younger, learning and will probably return more healthy and able bodies to the lineup next year.

“Despite circumstances beyond our control, we’ve put ourselves in position to get these games,” McCallie said. “Getting them is something that we’ve worked hard for, and I want us to feel that success together.”

After the Blue Devils’ date with the Hokies, they will have a week’s rest before heading to South Bend, Ind. for a challenging matchup FROM PAGE 11 against No. 6 Notre Dame next Thursday.

Maggette’s time as a Blue Devil resurfaced in the news in June 2000 when Maggette admitted that he accepted $2,000 in the the form of cash payments and expense money in 1997 from high school summer league coach Myron Piggie, according to previous reporting by The Chronicle.

Maggette is currently an analyst at Fox Sports. A spokeswoman for Fox Sports West told The New York Times that they take the allegations seriously and are looking into the issue.

Watson was the second woman to accuse Fairfax of sexually assaulting her. Following the “deeply disturbing” allegations, Duke asked Fairfax to step down from the Sanford School of Public Policy’s Board of Visitors and removed his name from the website until the allegations are resolved, Schoenfeld said last Friday afternoon.

Fairfax has denied the accusations.

“I deny this latest unsubstantiated allegation,” Fairfax said in a statement reported by the Washington Post Friday afternoon. “It is demonstrably false. I have never forced myself on anyone ever.”

Subtle Asian Diaspora

D

uring this Lunar New Year festival, I felt an incredible amount of pride for being Asian-American. I wish this feeling wasn’t something rare for me, but it is.

Although I’ve always looked Asian to others, my ownership of being Asian-American has been sub-par to say the least. Only recently have I been able to wholeheartedly embrace my AsianAmerican identity. However, in my experiences, I’ve found that my racial identity hasn’t initially come from a connection to the Asian-American community, but rather from a rejection by the white community.

Last month, I requested my admissions records for viewing, and the first thing I noticed

label that gave no insight on my half Korean identity. During the application process, I attempted to separate myself from the “Asian” label, and the misconstrued stereotype of a studious, one-faceted candidate that comes with that. When looking at my application review just last month, my underlying feelings of detachment from my Asian identity resurfaced. I realized that I did not just have this sentiment in my application, but also in the rest of my life—I’ve been scared to be Asian.

I tried my best to be white. I have a white father and I never learned Korean. I grew up in various suburbs and did the standard white American activities—I played ice hockey and sailed every summer. I put on copious amounts of sunscreen before I went outside, pretending that I would burn.

I bashed a giant hole into the wall of my house. My self-portraits in elementary school were both poorly drawn and extremely Anglo-Saxon. I even applied to Duke, the final step in my white childhood fantasy.

White people didn’t let me be white. They made comments, jokes, and off-hand remarks that drew attention to me being Asian when otherwise I wouldn’t have brought it up. And I am glad that they did that. If they hadn’t constantly reminded me that I look Asian, I probably would’ve forgotten. I tried to turn my back on the Asian-American community, in fear that I would be absorbed in a stereotype. For so long, I missed out on a culture that had been ever-present in my life since the very beginning. It’s been my time at Duke that has really allowed me to connect to the Asian-American community, and embrace that side of me that often lays dormant.

I am grateful for my appreciation of my own Korean identity, and I only wish I had developed it earlier. My cultural traditions were things I rarely spoke of or bothered trying to learn about. Now, when I investigate the pieces of Korean culture that are scattered in my memory, I realize their importance and how far-reaching in my life they truly were. Whether it is blowing my RA stipend on groceries from H-mart, or driving to Annandale, Virginia for Korean BBQ, I am constantly finding ways to revive my dormant identity.

My Asian-American pride has greatly been influenced by the modern generation of displaced Asian youths around the world. The Facebook

group “Subtle Asian Traits” reminds me that my experiences and cultural tastes have been influenced by my Asian identity, even if in the subtlest forms.

I have developed an addiction to boba, and I stan Blackpink. The bonds I’ve formed with my AsianAmerican friends at Duke have been stronger than I have ever experienced. As someone who wanted to be white for so long, it’s cathartic to feel a sense of community with my Asian-American peers.

At a Lunar New Year event last week, the faculty-in-residence of my dorm brought in a folk musician who played the guzheng. When she found out I was Korean, she played Arirang for me, and I teared up. It reminded me of my older brother playing the song, an iconic Korean folk tune, on the trumpet at a middle school performance. I remember watching my mom’s reaction and seeing a glimpse of what it meant to her. It’s a simple song, but it tells a story of pain and resilience through unbelievable hardship. It took me back to a land that I never experienced or lived in, but that I still feel within me, through the whispers of my family’s memories.

For many Asian-Americans in my generation, it is tempting for us to further assimilate into white American culture. Those of us at elite institutions are experiencing newfound opportunities that our families sacrificed immensely to give to us. And therefore, we have many choices about how we incorporate our Asian identities into our future lives. The Asian diaspora presents us with an opportunity to choose how much of our culture we carry on, and which parts we abandon.

For assimilated or mixed Asian-Americans, we can use our place in society to advocate for people of Asian descent who don’t blend in as well as we do.

We can also choose to disavow the anti-blackness and colorism in Asian-American spheres, and form racial coalitions. We can refuse to propagate the “model minority” myth, and acknowledge our growing privilege in many sectors of society. There is opportunity for change and activism as a result of the Asian diaspora, and for this generation I believe it can be exciting.

Letter: Duke is putting the light rail transit project at risk

I

’m writing to express my concern that Duke has not yet signed a cooperative agreement with GoTriangle and is putting the light rail transit project at risk. In addition, I’d like to address the

The UN special report on global warming indicated we can mitigate climate change by reducing energy demand, in part by getting people out of cars and onto buses and trains. Light rail

Sue Hunter LETTER TO THE EDITOR complaints of some local opponents, who question the cost and the benefits of this project for our community.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation has a $5 billion annual budget, yet no one questions our ongoing commitment to building roads, fostering dependence on cars, and creating more air pollution from vehicle emissions. Air pollution is a major cause of heart and lung diseases, including cancer, asthma, and bronchitis. Some of the populations most at risk for health problems caused by air pollution are infants and children, adults over 65, and people living in poverty, without access to health care. Investing in our transit infrastructure reduces the burden of disease in our community and improves access to health care.

Isn’t that what Duke and Duke Health want for the place they call home?

supports the compact growth and economic development strategies of Durham and Orange counties that preserve rural buffers and reduce emissions. Coupling this with transit-oriented development will allow more people to travel shorter distances, using more efficient modes of transit. The increase in extreme, deadly weather events has shown us what climate change can do.

We have an opportunity to fight climate change and make a huge difference at the local level. I encourage Duke to continue their tradition of investing in Durham by signing the cooperative agreement and keeping this project on track.

Young Trustee unlikely to stay young, trust-y

“

Joys do not stay, but take wing and fly away.” The Roman poet Martial captured that uncomfortable feeling of seeing something good drift from us and wanting to somehow hold onto it. How do you make change that lasts when you’re not around to keep it in place? Institutionalize it. And how can Duke students institutionalize an undergraduate’s perspectives? By electing an undergraduate to the Board of Trustees.

The Young Trustee has been with us for a long time. Since 1972, the Duke undergraduate student body has elected someone to a three-year term: “one year as an observer and two years as a voting member.” It seems a promise of

Consider senior vice president and Secretary to the Board of Trustees Richard Riddell’s Feb. 6 email. We’re voting, the email reads, for “a fiduciary of the university, not an advocate or representative.” The Young Trustees hold three of 37 seats on the Board—eight percent of the vote—and are meant to “consider what is best for the whole university, not a particular constituency.”

So, here is my question: does the way that the position of Young Trustee is structured militate against the Young Trustee’s remaining a fair and accurate student voice?

To be clear, I am criticizing the office and not its future occupant. It’s a shame that the office rewards years of work

Tim Kowalczyk COLUMNIST enduring, overlapping student voices providing our insights at the highest levels of university power. The Young Trustee clearly gets people excited. A who’s who of more than a dozen student groups have backed their favorite candidate.

The Young Trustee gives us a (sadly too infrequent) moment of something like real community. Students help each other’s campaigns and carve out time to meet together and discuss their visions for what Duke has been and should be.

Whether a focused pre-professional group like Catalyst or a wider affinity group such as the International Association, those groups who do mention the whole field talk about their choice as the best of four good choices.

And hopefully, our thinking goes, these finalists will continue their advocacy for issues important to us in their three years on the Board. Feminist publication The Muse endorses Archana Ahlawat as “the strongest advocate for women,” while the Editorial Board backs Trey Walk as “the most anti-establishment candidate.” Read whatever endorsement you please. You’ll find the common theme: as they have done at Duke, so will they keep on doing after Duke.

Except that once the Young Trustee is elected they have to stop thinking like an undergraduate, at least partially.

for this community with a partial moratorium on that same work. We’re supporting finalists on the expectation that they’ll keep doing what they have been doing, but once elected they are meant to focus less on “constituencies” and more on “the university as a whole.” So far as being Young Trustee requires whoever is elected to distance themselves from the “constituencies” they worked with as an undergraduate, the office seems structurally ill-equipped to provide an undergraduate perspective to the Board’s deliberations. It’s a problem noted in years past, and it’s not going away.

But there is a further problem still. The Young Trustee is not a student. The Young Trustee is one of Duke’s alumni. Granted, the Young Trustee is a recent graduate, but they are no longer that undergraduate voice in any meaningful sense.

Each year, about 25 percent of Duke’s undergraduate population changes. One class leaves, another comes in, and inside of four years Duke becomes a wholly different place than it was at the outset. Think of everything that’s happened for you in the past week. In the past year. Think of how steadily the fabric of this place changes.

Imagine how much your knowledge of Duke would change, how disconnected from this day-in, day-out reality

you’d feel, if you were only on campus four times a year. Per its own website, “The Board of Trustees meets four times each year.” A Young Trustee, in their three years on the board, has to come to campus 12 times. We’ll all have done that in the next two weeks. A Young Trustee has to adjudicate Duke’s present--lives they know so little about--through their personal, limited experience of Duke’s past. Perhaps the Young Trustee can come back to campus more—if they can take time off from work or graduate school or whatever comes next—but time and distance will do their work.

So, I ask: can the Young Trustee remain a fair and accurate voice for students, despite the role’s focus on creating distance from students and the reality that the office is occupied by a former student growing ever further from Duke?

It seems a sad state of affairs. What have we got? We’ve overestimated the extent to which the role of Young Trustee allows its occupant to continue doing the work that gained their election. We have student groups coming together, students making time to discuss their views and people across campus in dialogue about their hopes and priorities.

We pound pavement, start websites, overhaul our social media, put up flyers. All we’ll have to show for it is one elected official who can’t do that much for us.

Or, instead of placing significant hope for change in one position, we could appreciate the fact that we have a studentled, student-driven mechanism for effecting change that we can leave dormant until the next Young Trustee election, or put to some good use in the meantime.

Henry David Thoreau wrote that “Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it.” We pour so much effort into choosing the occupant of what’s effectively an alumni position. What could we change on this campus if we poured this same effort, these same three weeks of nearconstant energy, into any one of the causes that we think one person alone should be able to handle? We’ve shown ourselves quite ready to come together, pick a goal, and do our all to reach it. How much better this place would be if we all did that more often.

Productivity isn’t your purpose

I

feel immensely guilty when I’m not being productive. Even when I’m choosing to do something fun, or

Rebecca Torrence COLUMNIST putting my work down because I know I need a break, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I’m wasting my life away.

This is not a unique sentiment at Duke. Everyone here is obsessed with productivity. When we’re overwhelmed, we add another item to our to-do lists. The feeling that you’re never doing enough is utterly unavoidable.

Whenever I manage to look beyond my responsibilities here at Duke, I’m reminded constantly of their burdens by a distant nagging in the back of my head, the voice of my anxiety battering me for my unproductivity. This is a voice we all have, and we’ve trained ourselves to obey it because it has allowed us to reap superficial rewards. Good grades, leadership positions and job offers usually manifest when we convince ourselves that we should always be doing more.

These rewards are appealing, sure. But we can have all of these things and remain unfulfilled. Many of us do.

In our heads, productivity means completing menial assignments, scheduling meetings and putting in hours of studying in Perkins. We struggle to convert our lives into products that we can hand in or show off for a shred of recognition. But in doing so, we waste

most of our time and emotional energy trying to wrap ourselves into these pretty packages. Then, we sell ourselves for much less than we are worth, feeding into systems more consumed with goods and services than with our humanity.

This cycle is almost impossible to escape because we have been raised into a market culture. Our society defines success narrowly, in terms of what you can produce and what you can gain in return—specifically, fame and fortune. These appear to be the only forms of currency worth seeking. But how valuable are they really?

Today, we conceive of success as the result of intelligence and hard work, especially in high-paying fields. But hundreds of years ago, success had nothing to do with how smart or dedicated you were. It was determined by your ancestry and property inheritance.

Before that, being successful meant you were a capable hunter and protector. For women, success has had dozens of rigid definitions, many of which were related to their perceived ability to bear children.

It’s fair to say that most of these qualities hold minimal weight in today’s society. But in the same way, what success looks like

Chronicle File Photo

today is unlikely to resemble what success looks like hundreds of years from now. The tasks you’re slaving over may be completely inconsequential to future generations.

Point being: our definition of success is arbitrary, as are the divisions between what is productive and what is not. Those parameters are controlled by society. They are not inherent.

Let’s get one thing straight: You are not a product. Your life is not the sum of the bullet points on your resume. You were not built to conform to society’s constructs.

These frameworks in which we live are ephemeral. They only hold as much meaning as you give them. But you— your happiness, your wellbeing, your fulfillment—those are fundamentally valuable. Those are the things that matter.

I’m not saying you should drop out of school and try to run away from the reality we’re embedded in. Attending this university is a privilege. But the real privilege isn’t in the jobs we might secure after graduation— it’s the opportunity to make ourselves into whoever we want to be.

There are bigger things to learn here than how to make it to Wall Street. Even though society’s arbitrary definitions of success and productivity seem to control our every move now, they don’t have to. We can lead lives that are meaningful by our own standards instead of someone else’s.

As much as I worry about working harder, all I ultimately want is to be happy and to help other people be happy. I don’t care how I get there. I’d rather wake up on my 70th birthday with a feeling of fulfillment than with a three-page CV. Rebecca Torrence is a Trinity sophomore.
