ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTH YEAR, ISSUE 98

STUDENTS OCCUPY ALLEN BUILDING Protestors were granted amnesty Sunday night—talks to resume Monday at 11 a.m.

Jesús Hidalgo, Carolyn Chang, Darbi Griffith and Sanjeev Dasgupta | The Chronicle The Allen Building sit-in began Friday afternoom and continued through Sunday night, with several protests outside the building occuring throughout the weekend.

Rachel Chason, Gautam Hathi, Neelesh Moorthy and Amrith Ramkumar The Chronicle Nine students staging a sit-in inside the Allen Building since Friday afternoon were granted amnesty from disciplinary action after a meeting with administrators late Sunday night. The students have stated that their sit-in will continue until their demands—which include the termination of Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, Vice President for Administration Kyle Cavanaugh and Parking and Transportation Services Director Carl DePinto—are met. Provost Sally Kornbluth said after the meeting that she looked forward to a “serious conversation” about the protestors’ demands, and confirmed that the students would not be removed from Allen for the time being. The Allen Building will be closed Monday as the sit-in continues. “In order to facilitate productive dialogue and move towards a peaceful resolution, the nine students will not be subject to student

conduct sanctions and legal penalties for their actions,” administrators wrote in an email to students, faculty and staff early Monday morning. “In addition, it is university policy to prohibit retaliation against students, faculty and staff who express their views.” The sit-in participants said administrators asked students who were protesting outside Allen to take down the approximately 15 tents they had erected. The protestors did not appear to immediately accept the request and were prepared to stay the night outside of Allen as of midnight. “The reason we’re being listened to is because we’re loud, we’re visible and we’re here,” sophomore Mohamad Chamas told the assembled protestors. “We’re going to stay that way.” Talks between the sit-in participants—who planned to remain in Allen overnight—and administrators will resume Monday morning at 11 a.m. Students inside Allen participated in extensive conversations with administrators throughout the weekend—including Kornbluth, Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president

for student affairs and dean of students, President Richard Brodhead and Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs. Administrators reversed a position they had previously stated that students would be asked to leave the building Sunday. Administrators had also added that if the students did not leave they would be in violation of university policies and subject to disciplinary action. “They don’t scare me,” said junior Lara Haft, one of the students in the building, earlier Sunday. “They’re going to have to come in and physically arrest me.” In its Saturday response to the students’ demands, the administration said that because the incident involving Trask—who allegedly used a racial slur after hitting contract parking employee Shelvia Underwood with his car—is going through civil litigation, the University cannot comment on it. “We’re calling for them to do their jobs and do an actual investigation like they should have the first time,” said Haft said. “If they take two months, we’ll be in their office for two months.” The students said that during a meeting

with President Richard Brodhead Sunday afternoon, he said they would be issued misdemeanor charges for trespassing, could be subject to the student disciplinary conduct process and forcibly removed from the building, although a timeline for these events was not given.

Two Allen sit-in discuss ongoing talks with administrators we’re planning to wait them out and that we’re demanding amnesty.

Gautam Hathi The Chronicle With the Allen Building sit-in continuing into Sunday evening, The Chronicle’s Gautam Hathi spoke with two of the nine students inside—junior Lara Haft and sophomore Cindy Li–about their ongoing discussions with administrators and the status of their demands before they were granted amnesty. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. The Chronicle: Where are you currently at in your discussion with administrators? Cindy Li: We’re refusing to negotiate demands until we’re granted full amnesty. There’s been plenty of conversation and plenty of ‘listening,’ but communication hasn’t been happening. The responses we got on the sheet of paper yesterday weren’t actually a real response—it had nothing to do with the things we talked about in the meeting with Dean [Steve] Nowicki. TC: What are things like in the Allen Building? Lara Haft: We’re not even allowed to go into the first floor of the building at this time. We’re pretty much sequestered into the second floor. We’re going to have people bring food, although it’s not really clear what the deal is with that. They’re able to hand things to the security guard, who is able to hand things to us, but nobody is allowed to visit. We had officials come to visit and a bunch of faculty come who all wanted to see us, check on us, check on our safety. They all wanted to come and visit with us and they were denied access. What does that mean if they’re turning away our faculty members? That means they’re also turning away our counsel. When we call lawyers at the [American Civil Liberties

TC: Are you planning to stay until you’re arrested? LH: I can telI you that for me personally, I’m planning to take that citation and I’m planning to go through the conduct board. They don’t scare me. They’re going to have to come in and physically arrest me. I can only speak for myself, and I know folks in here vary a little bit. I know that’ll be a press nightmare and Dean Sue is probably not looking to arrest us, but that’ll be a few days down the road. What we really need is for everyone on campus to come out in full force to support us, and especially full support for us to get amnesty, because that’ll really help us negotiating for the workers and trying to get all the demands met. We want to reiterate that when Tallman Darbi Griffith | The Chronicle Trask committed a felony hit-and-run, President Lara Haft and Cindy Li—two of the nine students in the Allen Building —spoke about their Brodhead and the rest of the administration responded by having him writing a two-sentence plans to continue the protest Sunday. apology note.

Vice Provost Keith Whitfield named Wayne State provost Kenrick Cai The Chronicle Keith Whitfield, vice provost for academic affairs, was named provost of Wayne State University in Detroit Friday. The WSU Board of Governors approved his hiring April 1 following a nationwide search to fill the position. Starting June 1, Whitfield will be the second-ranking executive officer in the administration and will oversee all academic matters including student performance, retention and faculty policies and Whitfield KEITH WHITFIELD decisions. will succeed Margaret Winters, who is retiring from her position as provost and vice president of academic affairs after a 14-year tenure at WSU. “I am excited for the opportunity of this new challenge,” Whitfield wrote in an email. “I have worked with colleagues at Wayne State for about 17 years, so while I am sad to leave my friends and colleagues at Duke, I am looking forward to the colleagues and challenges I will encounter at WSU.” At Duke, Whitfield has been responsible for assessment and accreditation issues as well as oversight for campus-wide initiatives and strategic planning. Whitfield joined Duke from Pennsylvania State University in 2006 as a professor of psychology and neuroscience and a research professor of medicine.

they don’t want us to be here during Blue Devil Days next week. And actually all of us want the same thing. We want to go home tomorrow. But we told them that where we don’t agree is that we are not negotiating until we have amnesty, and we want all seven demands met. So that is not common ground since they want us to leave with meeting none of the demands and we want all of the demands. But the common ground is that they want us out, and we ultimately think that common interest is what will prevail. We have thousands of people supporting us. Within the first six hours we raised $1,000 of support, we have prominent activists retweeting us on Twitter. You can block the doors on Allen, but you cannot block the doors on this movement, and we are going to win. We’ve already won. TC: If they do remove you today, will you be back tomorrow? LH: I don’t think they’re going to physically remove us tonight. They would have to escalate and do all the things they’ve said. They would have to give us a citation, take us to the conduct board of Duke and physically arrest us all tonight. Maybe they’ll do that all in one night, but I’m not sure that they will. Once they’ve arrested us, I think we’d have to discuss as a collective with workers and the other stakeholders here. As we mentioned to Dean Sue [Wasiolek], every time we make a decision we have our phones out and we’re on GroupMe. We’re not only discussing among all nine of us, but we’re also messaging with workers. Students and Workers in Solidarity is a coalition group that was formed with students, faculty and staff and that’s why faculty are coming to meet with us. That’s why there are staff who are speaking on our behalf. If this ends before the demands are met, we go back to the drawing board, we talk to all our stakeholders and all our loved ones as a community, and we keep going. We will not stop, and we will not be defeated.

SIT-IN from page 1 they could face. After the meeting, the students said Brodhead and Wasiolek told them they would be issued misdemeanor charges for trespassing, then at a later unspecified time could be referred to the university judicial board and student undergraduate conduct board for disciplinary action. Students also said they were told that they could be forcibly removed from the building, although they noted that administrators did not specify a time for any of punishments. “I think this university is absurd in that it’s trying to arrest students when it’s taken no actions against someone who committed a hit-and-run,” said senior Stanley Yuan, who is a member of The Chronicle’s editorial board. “It’s important to continue to support the students. Their demands are things that if Duke really wanted, they could be completed in a week.” Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for government affairs and public affairs, met with media members Sunday afternoon and reiterated the responses administrators released Saturday

evening, noting that because the incident involving Trask is the subject of civil litigation, the University cannot comment with further specifics. Schoenfeld did not provide any further specific information about what Brodhead said to the students in the Allen Building and did not provide a more specific timeline for disciplinary action.

“They’re making this up as they go along,” Johnson said. “They don’t want this to be news, but here it is and here we are.” Johnson said she would like to see the administration negotiate with the students “in good faith and address their demands.” “As an alum, a lot of the things that the students are asking for have been problems on this campus for a long time,” 11:45 a.m. Sunday, April 3 Johnson said. Schoenfeld said that he would be available to meet with Diaminah, who referenced the passing of North Carolina outside media at 1:30 p.m. in front of Perkins Library after House Bill 2, spoke about the protestors’ efforts as part of Durham City Councilwoman Jillian Johnson, Trinity ’03, larger “circulation of struggle” in the state. tweeted that no outside media were being allowed on campus. “We have students who are putting up a fight, who are taking a stand,” Diaminah said. “We have students who are 10 a.m. Sunday, April 3 making an intervention to challenge the most powerful Johnson and Board of Education member Sendolo employer in our city.” Diaminah spoke to the nine students inside the Allen Building. Johnson said that after they were approached by security guards 5:45 p.m. Saturday, April 2 and told they had to leave the building, they spoke to students A banner has been tied outside the Allen Building saying, in the doorway of the building until one of the security guards “Occupied. No justice, no peace.” Wasiolek and Steve Nowicki, spoke with Wasiolek, who said the door needed to be closed dean and vice provost for undergraduate education, entered and the students needed to stay on the second floor. the building to speak with the students inside. Protestors said Wasiolek told students inside the building that they will be asked to leave Sunday and charged with trespassing if they do not. Students said they plan to stay inside and will organize a protest if they are arrested Sunday. “The students were told that at some point tomorrow they would be asked to leave the Allen Building. If they don’t leave the building they will be in violation of university policies, subject to disciplinary action, and trespassing,” Schoenfeld wrote in an email. No students have been allowed to enter the Allen Building since it was closed 8 p.m. Friday, but it was opened from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday so food could be delivered to the students sitting-in, the protestors said. Some students outside complained they felt unwelcome when trying to deliver the food. “They treated us like we were dangerous, as if we didn’t belong to this institution,” Chamas said. Protestors would continue to speak out even if the occupiers are arrested Sunday, said Anastasia Karklina, Trinity ’14, Ph.D. student in Literature and African and AfricanAmerican Studies and a media liaison for Duke Students and Workers in Solidarity. “Whether they get kicked out or not, whether they get arrested or not, this is not going away,” Karklina said. “Duke Students and Workers in Solidarity will continue pursuing this, will continue pursuing accountability and justice for black and brown workers at Duke.”

4:10 p.m. Saturday, April 2 Schoenfeld confirmed that several administrators met with students in the Allen Building for more than two hours Saturday morning and that conversations would continue. 4:45 p.m. Friday, April 1 Nine students launched a sit-in of the Allen Building and said they would not leave until Trask is terminated. The sitin was staged following a protest featuring approximately 50 students and workers. The protestors circulated a list of demands, which called for Trask to pay full reparations to Underwood, an independent investigation into the incident and a public apology from Trask. The demands also called for the immediate resignation of Cavanaugh and DePinto and requested that the minimum wage be increased to $15/hour. Students, faculty and community members at the protest described the Trask incident as part of a larger issue of racism on campus.“This institution can have no ethical standing in our community or in the world if it concedes to such corruption and maltreatment of any person on or off campus,” said junior Mina Ezikpe, one of the nine students who are taking part in the Allen sit-in. Franciscas Akins, a bus driver at the University, spoke to protestors gathered about the discriminatory environment in the PTS department. “Unfortunately this is not an isolated incident of workers’ abuse,” Akins said. “This is part of a larger problem of a hostile and discriminatory work environment in the Parking and Transportation department and Duke as a whole.” After reading statements from Duke employees about the hostile work environments they had experienced, the protestors marched around Abele Quadrangle past admissions tour groups. A number of prospective students and their families watched the protestors as they chanted slogans— including “No justice, no peace” and “Duke, you are guilty.” “I don’t think it’s a big deal on this campus in that it’s not a reason not to come to Duke,” one tour guide said to a tour group. Karklina wrote in an email that that there is a designated group of students responsible for providing food and water to the students in the Allen Building and emphasized that the students will not leave the building until their demands are met.

TAR HEELS TRIUMPH IN OT Krzyzewski

North Carolina beats Duke on game-winner, spoiling Myles Jones’ career night Seth Johnson The Chronicle After a miraculous comeback with two goals in the last 1:15 of regulation to force overtime for the third straight game, the Blue Devils looked poised to move to 2-0 in ACC play for the first time since 2011 against their Tobacco Road rivals. North Carolina had other ideas. The No. 17 Tar Heels knocked off No. 11 Duke for the second straight year 17-16 in overtime on senior Patrick Kelly’s decisive overtime goal at 17 Koskinen Stadium UNC DUKE 16 Friday night. Kelly’s tally came after Duke junior midfielder Jack Bruckner sent the game into a sudden-death extra session with a goal with just 7.6 seconds remaining in regulation that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Kelly and company overcame Bruckner’s late heroics and the efforts of Blue Devil senior midfielder Myles Jones, who had a career day with five goals and a career-high 11 points, as Duke dropped the back-and-forth shootout. “I didn’t really take [my performance] into account, but I was just trying to make plays for the team. We needed it. When we were down two goals, [head coach John Danowski] looked at me to make the play,” Jones said. “I know a lot of teams focus on how I play and my game, but that only opens up [my teammates] for good opportunities. [We] finished with 16 goals, something to be really, really proud of as a team. If you need 17, so be it, but we’ve really got to focus on cashing in those opportunities.” Jones and the Blue Devils (7-5, 1-1 in the ACC) stormed back to send the game into

overtime, and also had a chance to steal the win after junior Kyle Rowe won the period’s opening faceoff. North Carolina utilized a zone defense for much of the second half and stayed in the zone in overtime. Duke swung the ball around the perimeter until it found Jones’ stick, and the All-American let one of his 16 shot attempts on the night rip toward Tar Heel goalkeeper Colin Reder, who recorded his 10th save of the game to keep North Carolina (6-4, 1-0) alive in its ACC opener. “We knew they were going to come out in zone but they changed their zone,” Jones said. “They had their short stick playing on the perimeter. Instead of dodging from the middle where I was dodging in the second half, I decided to dodge from the wing. I got a good shot, but the goalie made a great save….

I got a shot that I’ve hit multiple times in my career, but it just didn’t go today.” Facing a two-goal deficit at the half, Duke opened the third period on a 5-0 run to take its first lead of the day with 8:15 remaining in the third frame. But a 5-1 run at the end of the period—including two goals within six seconds of one another in the final 13 seconds—put North Carolina back ahead on the road. With scoring coming from every direction, the fourth quarter set up for another nailbiter for the Blue Devils. After dropping a 10-9 overtime contest against then-No. 20 Air Force March 22 and pulling out its own 16-15 overtime thriller against then-No. 5 Syracuse Saturday, Duke was set up for its third See M.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski underwent successful total knee replacement surgery Sunday, the team announced in a press release. The surgery was performed at Duke University Hospital by Michael P. Bolognesi, a joint replacement orthopedic surgeon at Duke University Medical Center. “The technical aspects of the case went as we had hoped, and Coach Krzyzewski is doing well,” Bolognesi said in the release. “We will try to get him up walking today, as we will let him put as much weight as he tolerates on the implant right away.” The surgery had been scheduled for soon after the end of the Blue Devils’ season, which came March 24 in the Sweet 16. Krzyzewski missed one game this season—an 80-71 win Feb. 2 at Georgia Tech—after falling “under the weather” and not making the trip to Atlanta with the rest of the team. Krzyzewski could be released from the hospital in the next three days. He will then begin a rehabilitation program at Duke. The timing of the surgery should enable Krzyzewski to rehab and recover fully as he prepares to take USA Basketball into this summer’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. This will be Krzyzewski’s third and final Olympics as the head coach of Team USA, after San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich was named the next head coach in October.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Blue Devils take care of Cavaliers and Fighting Irish Jesús Hidalgo The Chronicle Beatrice Capra had her back to the wall Sunday afternoon, trailing 4-2 on court one in the first set of singles action. But the senior fought back and ended up clinching the Blue Devils’ second conference victory of the weekend. Despite a rocky start on most of the singles courts, No. 10 Duke beat Notre Dame 4-1 Sunday at Ambler DUKE 4 Tennis Stadium. The 0 Blue Devils bounced UVA back from a 4-1 1 home loss against ND DUKE 4 No. 3 North Carolina Tuesday by sweeping No. 12 Virginia 4-0 in Charlottesville, Va., Friday and defeating the Fighting Irish in Durham two days later. “This is the toughest stretch of our season

and [playing] away and home on the same weekend is never an easy thing. It’s basically physically draining,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “We definitely could have played better but I was happy with the level that we competed and [how we] found the way back in some matches.” The Blue Devils (15-3, 8-2 in the ACC) delivered strong performances in doubles action this weekend, posting four hard-fought wins. Against the Cavaliers (11-8, 5-4), sophomore Samantha Harris and rookie Kaitlyn McCarthy trailed 2-0 early on court two but stormed back and pulled off a 6-3 win against the duo of Cassie Mercer and Tori Olivarez. On court three, juniors Alyssa Smith and Chalena Scholl registered their 12th doubles win of the season by defeating the Virginia tandem of Erica Susi and Taylor Wingo 6-4. The doubles momentum continued Sunday against the Fighting Irish (10-9, 4-6), when Ashworth’s squad claimed the first point

of the match thanks to victories on courts two and three again. The tandem of Harris and McCarthy posted its ninth straight doubles win and blanked Julie Vrabel and Mary Closs 6-0 and Smith and Scholl beat Notre Dame’s pair of Brooke Broda and Allison Miller 6-4. Duke’s 13th-ranked duo of Capra and Ellyse Hamlin was deadlocked 4-4 with the Fighting Irish before the match was abandoned. “When you’re tired on the court, especially when we have a long season like this, knowing that if you’re not feeling well but...your teammate is pumped up and emotionally invested in the match, it gets you fired up,” Capra said. “When we are emotionally at our best, we play really well.” In singles action in Charlottesville, freshman Jessica Ho clinched the Blue Devil victory against Virginia thanks to her 6-2, 6-3 singles See W.

Peishu Li The Chronicle After taking care of N.C. State 5-2 Friday afternoon, the Blue Devils returned home looking for a fourth straight win, but could not close out their singles matches late in sets. No. 3 Virginia seemed to have all the answers Sunday, downing Duke 6-1 Sunday afternoon at Ambler Tennis Stadium. The Cavaliers dominated DUKE 5 the doubles point NCST 2 to grab an early lead, then held on 6 through a tough UVA DUKE 1 singles slate as Duke tightened things up and played with more energy in the singles portion of the contest. Senior Josh Levine recorded the lone Blue Devil point of the day with his singles victory against Virginia junior J.C. Aragone to even the match at one, but the Cavaliers claimed the five remaining singles matches to win handily, even though four of those matches went to three sets. “They dictated in the doubles, but in singles I thought we rebounded extremely well. All six matches were extremely competitive,” Duke head coach Ramsey Smith said. “We lost a really tough straight-set match with T.J. [Pura] where he had set point in the first set. Josh was able to win in straights and the other four matches were all three-setters. Obviously we were right there, but we just had a little trouble shutting the door. I think a lot of that was due to Virginia and their experience and them being really good in the big moments.” Freshman Jason Lapidus and senior Daniel McCall jumped out to a 1-0 lead in doubles against the No. 8 Virginia pair of Thai-son Kwiatkowski and Mac Styslinger on court two. But the Cavaliers (17-3, 7-1 in the

The Blue Devils (11-11, 4-5) forced two tiebreakers and four three-set decisions. But Virginia was able to gain the upper hand late in the action and secured all but one singles game. After the slow start, Duke bounced back quickly in singles as Levine led all players off the singles courts. The senior trailed No. 88 Aragone 2-4 but recovered to take the first set, 6-4. The Syosset, N. Y., native jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the second frame, but the Cavalier junior slowly pulled himself back into the game—tying the set at 5-5—and forced a tiebreaker, which Levine claimed 7-3 to even the match. Court one featured a clash between two of the top players in the nation as No. 8 Shane faced off against No. 19 Alvarez. The 6-foot4 Cavalier opened up the first set with fast serves backed up with aggressive baseline returns en route to a 6-3 first-set victory.

Former Duke vice president and director of athletics Tom Butters—the man who hired head men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski as part of a 30-year career as a Duke administrator—died Thursday night. He was 77. Butters served as Duke’s athletic director from 1977-97 after previously working as director of special events and spending two years in the dugout as the head coach of the Blue Devil baseball team. One of his lasting contributions to the athletic department prior to becoming athletic director was the creation of the Iron Dukes, the fundraising arm of the Duke athletic department. In 1980, Butters hired Krzyzewski—then the head coach at Army—to take over the Duke program, saying at the introductory press conference that he “there is no doubt in my mind that Mike is the most brilliant young basketball coach in the country.” When Krzyzewski’s teams struggled in his first few seasons in Durham, Butters remained convinced of his assessment and gave him a vote of confidence in 1984 with a mid-season contract extension. The Blue Devils took off immediately, and under Krzyzewski have captured five national championships and advanced to 12 Final Fours. “Outside of my mom, no one believed in me more than Tom. The Cadet Prayer at West Point asks us ‘to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong,’ and that always reminds me of Tom,” Krzyzewski said in a

ACC) took control of the game with balanced offense at the baseline and the net, and after tying the set at 2-2, Virginia won four straight games to close it out, 6-2. On court three, Duke captains Pura and Nicolas Alvarez went toe-to-toe with the Cavalier tandem of Aragone and Collin Altamirano. Tied at 3-3, Virginia capitalized on the Blue Devils’ hitting errors and took the ensuing three games, securing the doubles point for the Cavaliers. Facing the No. 2 duo of Ryan Shane and Luca Corinteli on court one, freshmen Vincent Lin and Catalin Mateas held their own, trailing 4-5 before the match was abandoned. “It’s the first ‘top’ top team that we played. This is arguably the best team in the country,” Smith said. “Honestly I think they are just a little bit better than us in doubles at all three spots. I just felt like we just had a little bit nerves coming out there against that type of big-serve, big-hitting [styles] that they brought us in doubles.”

Duke bats awaken to take road series from Georgia Tech Hank Tucker The Chronicle When Duke dropped another low-scoring game to Georgia Tech in the series opener Saturday afternoon, its offense had produced just 22 runs in its first 10 ACC games. Twenty-four hours and 24 runs later, the Blue Devil bats were awake at last. A seven-run fifth inning propelled Duke to a 10-4 victory Sunday against the No. 23 Yellow Jackets at Russ Chandler Stadium in Atlanta, taking a road DUKE 2 series from Georgia 3 Tech for the first time TECH since 2000 after a DUKE 14 wild 14-13 10-inning TECH 13 victory in Saturday’s nightcap. Freshman DUKE 10 shortstop Zack Kone 4 was 2-for-4 with three TECH RBIs Sunday and classmate Chris Proctor added two hits and two RBIs to lead a balanced offensive attack for the Blue Devils. “Sometimes hitting is contagious, and I said all along we were swinging at good pitches, we

just needed to not miss them—to drive the baseball,” Duke head coach Chris Pollard said. “We started doing that this weekend—really started doing it Tuesday versus Liberty. It’s good to see and it’s good for our confidence.” The game was deadlocked at one entering the top of the fifth after both teams exchanged runs in the second frame, but it did not take long for the Blue Devils (14-14, 4-8 in the ACC) to open the floodgates. Georgia Tech starter Keyton Gibson walked six batters in the first four innings but did not concede a hit until freshman Jimmy Herron led off the fifth frame with a single. The Yellow Jackets (20-7, 6-6) quickly went to the bullpen, but freshman reliever Robert Winborne surrendered a single to Proctor, a two-run double to Cris Perez and an RBI single to sophomore Jack Labosky—Saturday’s hero with eight RBIs—before Justin Bellinger struck out for Duke’s first out of the inning. “One of the biggest differences is we’re getting leadoff guys on,” Pollard said. “To have a good offense, you’ve got to consistently get guys on early in the inning, and in that particular inning, we got two guys on to start the inning.” Winborne’s day was done after sophomore

Michael Smiciklas smacked a double to move Labosky to third, and freshman Micah Carpenter did not fare much better as he finished the inning on the mound. An intentional walk to Peter Zyla to load the bases backfired when Kone and Max Miller both roped RBI singles to right field from the bottom of the order, and Proctor plated Zyla with his second single of the inning after Herron flied out. When Carpenter picked Miller off at third base for the third out, Duke’s defense took the field for the bottom half of the fifth with a commanding 8-1 lead. “We were in a position where we were trying to score with a productive out, meaning that runner on third with less than two [outs]— we’re trying to get a ball out to the outfield to score a run,” Pollard said. “Guys were looking for elevated pitches to be able to do that, and when they got their pitches, those turned into hits. We started to get some really good at-bats because we were disciplined in what we were trying to do.” Graduate student Brian McAfee fanned a season-high eight batters in six innings of work on the mound, but ran See BASEBALL on Page 9

TRACK & FIELD

Two Duke school records fall at Battle of the Blues Jack Dolgin The Chronicle With a mild breeze, sunny skies and a home crowd on hand, Duke set two school records and won nine events in its second outdoor meet of the year. The Blue Devils finished second in the women’s competition and third in the men’s against North Carolina and Michigan Saturday afternoon in the second and final day of the Battle of the Blues at Morris Williams Track and Field Stadium. The Blue Devil women finished with 68 points, 15 shy of the Wolverines, and the men finished with 40.5 points, 42.5 fewer than the victorious Tar Heels, but senior Megan Clark and sophomore Maddy Price each set program records in the pole vault and 200 meters, respectively. “Overall, for the day, it was a great track meet,” Duke director of track and field Norm Ogilvie said. “Even if we’re coming up on the short end of the score sometimes—like to me it’s amazing—we had three guys run under 1:51 [in the 800 meters], and we came away with exactly two team points. But you can’t hang your head when you’re running the fastest you’ve ever run.” Once again, Clark raised the bar thanks to her improving technique, which she said has been related to increasing her distance from the pit during takeoff. Clark and fellow Blue Devil sophomore Madison Heath were the only two competitors to successfully clear at least 13 feet at this weekend’s meet. Heath eventually vaulted 13 feet, 9 1/4 inches, but Clark kept going by herself, taking breaks between attempts to catch her breath and shatter more records. The 2016 NCAA indoor silver medalist ultimately broke a program and facility record, set the best mark in the country so

far this season and tied for the sixth-best outdoor mark in NCAA history with a vault of 14 feet, 9 1/2 inches. “We don’t get a lot of home meets, so when we have them, we like to take advantage of them,” Clark said. “I’ve been changing a lot of things since NCAAs…so I was happy with the result, I was a lot happier with the technique that I had this week.” Aiming to set an overall personal best, Clark was unable to clear the 15 feet, 1 inch bar in any of her three attempts. Price—who set a program record in the 100 meters at the Raleigh Relays last week— came from behind in the 100-meter event to nearly catch first-place finisher Cindy Ofili but came up short by 0.08 seconds. Price bounced back quickly in the 200 meters, though, setting another program record with a time of 23.48 seconds to finish second in that event as well, just 0.02 seconds behind Ofili.

“It was really helpful to have someone really fast running against me and kind of push me to the finish there,” Price said of her program-record sprint. “[I] definitely wish I could have got her at the end, but still a really good race, and I’m super happy with the time.” Senior Anima Banks added to the strong finishes on the women’s side. Although the Mamaroneck, N.Y., native normally runs the 800 meters, she posted the fourth-best time in program history in the 1,500 meters Saturday with a time of 4:19.99. On the men’s side, graduate student Shaun Thompson finished in second place in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, even though Saturday was Thompson’s first time running the event in two years and he practiced it just once in the week leading up. Coming off the second-fastest 10,000-meter mark in the country last week, Thompson automatically qualified for the ACC Outdoor

Championships with an 8:58:56 finish. Saturday’s event was only the third time Duke has ever hosted an event at the complex, which opened last year. The environment was energetic, with North Carolina and Michigan fans in attendance and several rows of fans standing near fences bordering the track. The scoreboard also posted team scores throughout the day, which Ogilvie said is not the case at every meet and is quite helpful to the athletes. The Blue Devil women fed off the crowd to nearly catch the Wolverines late in the contest, having trailed by at least 10 points for most of the day. Senior Olivia Anderson—running her first steeplechase of the season—finished in first place with a 10:21.86 mark, setting a personal best and posting the program’s fifthfastest time. Anderson also qualified for the ACC championships with her performance and defeated runner-up Claire Borchers of Michigan by nearly eight seconds. “That was really special because Michigan distance is known as the best in the country,” Ogilvie said. “I remember last year when she did her first steeplechase at roughly this week, and she’s improved so much.” With Duke trailing 65-58 with two races left, though, the Wolverines sealed the meet by finishing first through third in the 3,000 meters. In the day’s penultimate event, the Duke women’s 4x400 medley relay team opened a sizeable lead in the second leg before Price sealed a win in the event with a team time of 3:40.21. “We all kind of love [the 4x400], even at the end of the day,” Price said. “That was my first 400 of the outdoor season, so it felt a little bit longer than the 100, I was kind of getting tired at the end there, but always good to bring it home, especially at home, too.” One of Duke’s other dominant performances came in the men’s high jump, See TRACK & FIELD on Page 9

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Leading scorer Stevens, Salvadores leaving Duke program Staff Reports The Chronicle Sophomore Azurá Stevens and freshman Angela Salvadores will not return to the Blue Devil program next season, Duke announced Friday. Stevens—Duke’s leading scorer and rebounder—was a first team All-ACC selection last season despite missing seven conference games with a partially torn plantar fascia, and also earned honorable mention AP All-American recognition. Duke stumbled to a 3-4 record down the stretch without the 6-foot-6 forward, and her departure is a major blow to the Blue Devils for the next two years. “My experience at Duke has been amazing,” Stevens said in a press release announcing the departures. “I would like to thank the staff and the Blue Devil community for all their support over the last two years. At this time, I feel it would be best for my basketball career to go in a different direction.” Stevens has not yet announced her next destination. The Cary, N.C., native would be

required to sit out the 2016-17 season under NCAA rules if she chooses to transfer to another school. Doing so would make her the fourth Blue Devil to transfer out of the Duke program in the past four seasons. Sierra Moore left for Penn State after the 2012-13 season, and Kianna Holland and Sierra Calhoun each left after the fall 2013 and fall 2014 semesters, respectively. Both players ultimately signed with Ohio State. Salvadores entered Duke as a top-5 recruit from Leon, Spain, and averaged 8.7 points per game and a team-leading 3.3 assists per game during her rookie campaign. According to the release, she will pursue a professional basketball career. A team spokesperson wrote in an email that Salvadores is heading back to Europe to do so. “I loved working with both Angela and Azurá,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said in the release. “I wish them the very best in their future basketball careers.” McCallie eased Salvadores into game action after a heavy workload playing internationally last summer, but she came into her own during the second half of the season, scoring in double figures seven times against ACC opponents and

shooting 53.1 percent from 3-point range during conference play. “Thanks to my teammates, support staff and the Duke fans for always being supportive,” Salvadores said in the release. “The Duke community opened their arms since day one and I always felt loved by them.” Duke lost just two players to graduation from last season’s squad—Amber Henson and Mercedes Riggs—and expected to contend with the return of a healthy Stevens as well as the addition of Lexie Brown, a third-team All-American as a sophomore at Maryland before transferring to Duke. Sixfoot-1 forward Leaonna Odom, the No. 9 recruit in the Class of 2016, is Duke’s lone incoming freshman. Brown will likely slide into the starting point guard role, taking potential minutes away from Salvadores—who shared the backcourt this season with fellow freshman Kyra Lambert—but Stevens’ versatility and size will be much more difficult to replace on both ends of the floor. Rising senior Oderah Chidom becomes the most proven post option returning for next season, after averaging 9.6 points and

6.5 rebounds as a junior. Another veteran forward, Kendall Cooper, could return in the fall after the junior was not enrolled at the University for the spring semester and missed the second half of the season.

M. TENNIS from page 6 Alvarez responded with his own topspin attack in the second set and took advantage of Shane’s suspect serving accuracy, sending the match into a third frame with a 6-1 win. In the decisive set, Shane regained his serving rhythm and punished Alvarez with his overpowering forehand. After a return error from the Blue Devil captain, Shane took the match with a 6-0 sweep to reclaim the lead for Virginia. “He was one of the best players in the country,” Alvarez said. “He doesn’t make you feel comfortable any moment in the match. Even when you are winning points, it’s usually on his terms. That’s why he’s been so good. I felt better in the second set, especially because he gave me the opportunity to get into the match, gain some confidence with the break that led to another break. In the third set he stopped missing and I lowered my intensity and that was the difference.” The Cavaliers ended any hopes for another Duke

comeback as Corinteli came from behind to best freshman Adrian Chamdani 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 on court six, and Virginia clinched the match with Pura’s crushing 6-7, 3-6 defeat on court four. The junior forced the first set into a 6-6 tie in the tiebreaker, and after the referee ruled Pura’s net return out of bounds, Virginia sophomore Henrik Wiersholm claimed the next point to close out the tiebreaker 8-6. In the second frame, Pura kept himself in the set—evening the score at 3-3—until Wiersholm pulled ahead to win, 6-3. In the remaining two contests, Mateas and Altamirano split the first two sets on court two before the No. 63 Cavalier sophomore clinched the third frame to end a match filled with baseline rally highlights. On court three, Lin came back to win the second set 6-4 after dropping the first-set tiebreaker 1-7, but No. 7 Kwiatkowski recovered with a 6-2 win to seal Virginia’s sixth win of the afternoon. The Blue Devils will have a week to recover before continuing ACC play at Wake Forest Saturday.

The Blue Devils were on the wrong side of the scoreboard early in most of the singles matchups Sunday, but after Scholl secured the second Blue Devil point of the game by defeating No. 61 Monica Robinson 6-3, 6-3 on court two, the floodgates opened. No. 35 McCarthy dispatched Miller 6-2, 6-4, posting her third win of the week and giving Duke a 3-0 lead on court three. Things got interesting on court five as No. 78 Hamlin fell to Borda 2-6, 6-7 (3-7) but No. 28 Capra clinched the Blue Devil victory on court one after registering a nail-biting 7-5, 6-3 victory against No. 45 Quinn Gleason. “Staying in the match as long as I could [was key],” Capra said. “I told myself, ‘Just work hard and try to make every ball.’ I definitely was not playing my best tennis. My serve was off. I just wanted to stay in the rally as long as I could and then when I saw an opportunity to move forward and close out the point, I just tried my best to do that.” Duke returns to action Wednesday at 1 p.m. against No. 11 Michigan at Ambler Tennis Stadium. The non-conference matchup against the Wolverines—who are unbeaten in Big Ten action and have taken down four ranked schools, including Miami and North Carolina—is the second contest of the Blue Devils’ four-match, nine-day homestand.

BUTTERS from page 6 release. “That is how he lived his life—with great principle— and he provided that kind of guidance to me for 36 years. His uncompromising support and steadfast belief in our vision for Duke basketball was integral in building a program that stands among the very best in the country today.” Butters also hired NCAA championship-winning coaches in women’s golf head coach Dan Brooks—who has brought six national titles to Durham—women’s tennis head coach Jamie Ashworth and former men’s soccer head coach John Rennie, who captured the school’s first national title in 1986. With Butters at the helm, the Blue Devils claimed 40 ACC titles, more than twice as many as Duke won in the 24 years prior. Former women’s basketball head coach Gail Goestenkors, former football coach Steve Spurrier and former men’s lacrosse head coach Mike Pressler were also Butters hires. Several of Duke’s programs got their start during Butters’ tenure as athletic director. The women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse teams have developed into powerhouses and each reached the Final Four last season, and the women’s track and field program has moved out of Wallace Wade Stadium and into a home of its own at the new Morris Williams Track and Field Stadium. “We are an exceptional athletics department. This is not just because we stand for both academics and athletics,” Brooks said in the release. “I think it’s because Tom Butters and others before him set us on a good course, based on principles: Hire good people and let them do their job. Do what is right, not what is popular or ‘effective’ at the moment. Integrity is the only ‘brand’ you need.” Butters’ accomplishments in the world of athletics extended well beyond the borders of Duke’s campus. He served on the NCAA Basketball Committee from 1989-94 and helped push through the $1 billion agreement with CBS for the broadcasting rights to March Madness, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament that this year will finish up with the Final Four Saturday and Monday in Houston. His efforts to redesign the Duke University Golf Club helped the course land the 2001 NCAA men’s golf championship. The Schwartz-Butters Athletics Center, which stands next to Cameron Indoor Stadium, was named in Butters’ honor in 2000. That building houses the men’s and women’s basketball program, as well as the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame, which Butters helped create and into which he was inducted in 1999. “Simply put, no one served Duke University or the entire profession better than Tom,” current Duke vice president and director of athletics Kevin White said in the release. “His legacy stands as one of the greatest in this industry, for his track record of hiring outstanding coaches, innovating fundraising models, and, most importantly, creating a culture of unparalleled integrity at Duke that still stands as a model for all intercollegiate athletics.”

into some trouble at the end of his outing as the Yellow Jackets mounted a threat to get back in the game. Georgia Tech used two singles and a walk to load the bases with no outs and all three runners advanced on a run-scoring passed ball, but McAfee battled through the rest of the inning to minimize the damage. The Bothell, Wash., native induced an RBI groundout for the first out of the inning, and though the Yellow Jackets drove in one more run with a single by junior Ryan Peurifoy, McAfee retired two more batters to hand an 8-4 cushion to his bullpen. “[McAfee was] really solid, walked two, struck out eight against a very good offense— one of the best offenses in our league—and was workmanlike,” Pollard said. “[He] did a great job of putting up a shutdown inning in the fifth after we had the big inning in the top of the fifth. [He] fatigued a little bit in the sixth, but it was a really solid start.” Georgia Tech put two runners on base in the seventh inning against right-hander Ryan Day but could not push a run across, and Labosky and Mitch Stallings each pitched a scoreless inning to close out the game. The Blue Devils reached double-digits in runs with two outs in the top of the ninth inning when two runs scored on a throwing error by shortstop Connor Justus as Kone reached on an infield single. The weekend marked the first time the Blue Devils scored at least 10 runs in back-to-back conference games since 2006.

consecutive overtime battle at home. Senior Steve Pontrello was nearly as unstoppable as Jones for the Tar Heels. In his last iteration of the Tobacco Road rivalry, the attackman worked the crease and Blue Devil goalkeeper Danny Fowler for a career-high six goals. Pontrello and fellow attackman Luke Goldstock had their way with the Blue Devil defense, combining for 11 points and handing Duke its second consecutive loss in the rivalry. The first half did not start off how the Blue Devils imagined. In the opening minutes of the first quarter, the Tar Heels broke off an early 3-0 run after winning the first three faceoffs. But after finally grabbing its first faceoff of the night, Duke found the back of the net off the end of Justin Guterding’s stick. Jones found the sophomore attackman—who recorded four goals—waiting wide open at the crease to give the Blue Devils their first goal of the night and break open the shootout for the home squad. Jones went on to assist on three of the six goals in the first half for the Blue Devils, and scored two of his own before heading into the locker room. Fellow senior midfielder Deemer Class also had a productive first half of play, scoring twice from his patented spot at the right edge of the alley on both tallies to keep the halftime score close at 8-6 in favor of North Carolina. But the Baltimore native was held in check by the Tar Heels in the second half, failing to record a single point in the final 30 minutes. “We’ve just got to put together a full 60plus minute game if that’s necessary,” Jones said. “We didn’t play well in the first half.

Protests for progress

nce again, Duke’s campus is embroiled in outraged protest. This current flare up of tensions on campus seems perfectly in rhythm with semesters past. On Friday, students began a sit-in at the Allen building demanding a litany of administrative action including the removal of Executive Vice President Tallman Trask and other key administrators, as well as the resolution of institutional inequities in Duke’s Parking and Transportation Services. The protesters’ demands followed a two-part Chronicle investigative series that revealed that Trask had committed a hit-andrun on campus and that PTS, indirectly overseen by him, was home to a racially hostile workplace. We initially commend the protesters for taking action. It is a break from Duke’s typical apathy, where public political engagement is usually relegated to the vapid monotony of copy-pasted Facebook posts. The protesters are heeding Dean Nowicki’s call from the Class of 2019’s Convocation to “question authority”—a mandate quintessential to the liberal arts education. They have learned to apply the words not only intellectually, but in practice; for that, they should be lauded. There are, however, flaws with the protests. First— timing: while it is true that the administration should have spoken up on issues much sooner, the incident

involving Trask is now currently in litigation. It would be inappropriate for the University to take action while the wheels of due process are still turning at least with respect to issues that the case pertains to. As such, protesters should focus their attentions on the broader problems identified in PTS. This is a tangible issue they can impel the University to directly respond to in the present moment. This protest has also unhelpfully turned into a catch-all for people frustrated with the University

Editorial and its administrators. While those frustrations are often understandable, allowing a protest with very specific grievances and very significant stakes to turn into a hodgepodge of complaints risks rendering it contradictory, superficial and more easily discredited. Platitudes like “Duke, you are guilty” or “#DismantleDukePlantation” have little to do do with the particular issues—and solutions— at hand. Mixing in such speech risks obfuscating discussion of the specific issues that most merit protest and require university action. Despite flaws in the protests, we urge students to engage those involved. While there is reason to be

skeptical of some of the protesters’ demands and calls for amnesty, supporting them and engaging in political discussion does not force one to submit to the entirety of their demands. In fact, it promotes thoughtful examination and questioning in turn. We continue to ask, “what next?” We asked it after the noose incident as well as after the community forums. We know there exists no panacea to these cultural ills, but we remain hopeful that Duke can do better than before. The ongoing protest offers the the chance to reveal the best in all of the factions of our community. In order for that to happen though, students must participate by challenging their own ideas and promoting debate in the community. They must ask what, in this protest, is sound and fury, and discuss the grievances that resonate with them. The engagement, not of a few protesters, but of all of us, will determine what comes next—if anything. It could help us break out of our sad, repetitive cycles. It could make sure the slow interaction of the countervailing forces all trying to move toward a better Duke is not simply cemented in intractable inertia. The weight of responsibility for evolution rests with us. Our attention has been commanded yet again; let’s all listen and respond this time.

Why we need scandal

f Shonda Rhimes’ Olivia Pope were real, her crisis management firm would list our university as one of its most loyal customers. From the 2006 lacrosse case to the 2010 Karen Owen PowerPoint the 2015 adhan cancellation to more offensive themed parties than I can count, the national spotlight has shone brightly upon the Gothic Wonderland and its students, faculty and staff time and time again. As my colleague Emma Baccellie reported last month, the notion of controversial campus incidents morphing into true “scandals” is a phenomenon unique to Duke; Google Trends graphs created by

a racial slur and Parking and Transportation Director Carl DePinto fostered a hostile work environment for black employees were first made public, I felt confident external media would pick up the story, an administrative investigation would discover the truth and justice would be served. I was wrong, however; to this day, only Gawker, USA Today College, WRAL and the Herald-Sun have published substantial articles about the incidents, a pittance compared to the number of pieces regarding Duke’s chapter of Kappa Sigma’s “Asia Prime” party distributed by NBC, ABC, FOX and many other outlets. KSig was suspended two days after

Tom Vosburgh THE STRUGGLE both her and me show the phrase “Duke scandal” is far more common than “UNC scandal,” “Harvard scandal” or “Dartmouth scandal,” institutions that have all suffered indignities of their own in recent years. Until our trustees wise up and vote to dramatically expand our media relations budget, it seems we’re stuck with having a propensity for scandal matched only by the fictitious Fitzgerald Grant administration. As a student who’s witnessed his fair share of West Campus bus stop protests and read more than enough Yik Yak arguments about social issues on campus, I’ve come to accept the Duke scandal as an unavoidable component of my time here. Sure, seeing the failings of my alma mater splashed across the pages of leading national newspapers has consistently reminded me of how much more work Duke needs before it can live up to its claims of being a progressive, equitable place of learning, but after awhile it became amusing to see a single college zealously used as a microcosm of larger societal issues. By my logic, the media obsession with Duke became a form of flattery; our school’s constant presence under the microscope was just another sign of how well known and admired it was. Nonetheless, even with that attitude I became tired of defending Duke from its detractors with cries of “not every frat party here is an instance of cultural appropriation!” and “the lacrosse case was a huge miscarriage of justice!” But then, the most recent scandal broke and forced me to reevaluate how I view such incidents. When allegations that Executive Vice President Tallman Trask struck a parking attendant with his car and referred to her using

news of their choice of theme made national headlines, whereas Duke has yet to address the aforementioned issues beyond a statement that Trask is “an extraordinary servant of this university” and silence on the PTS claims. I don’t deem this discrepancy in administrative responses a coincidence. The longer these injustices go unmentioned in the nightly news the longer key Duke officials have managed to remain reticent. To them, it seems, the demands of students can be left off the agenda of Board of Trustees meetings as long as they remain discussed only within the confines of this campus. Our scandals, I have realized, are more than merely an example of how the world loves to hate Duke; they are the only thing that can force the administration to move forward with progressive initiatives such as raising the minimum wage and firing an admitted felon and those who helped cover up his crime. Until the mainstream media brings misdeeds of Trask and DePinto into light and angry alumni begin to question why the recipient of their donations has become embroiled in yet another scandal will administrators deviate from their present course and address their students’ and employees’ grievances. Just like the politicians and bureaucrats of Scandal’s depiction of Washington, D.C., the powers that be here in the Gothic Wonderland work best when a public relations fire is burning beneath their seats, and precedent tells us the best way to light one is by creating a national scandal. Let’s do just that. Tom Vosburgh is a Trinity senior and the Editorial Page Editor.

Protestors part III: This time we mean it

ear Dr. Monday, I’m locked in the Allen building here, and we’ve been holed up here for most of the weekend—I’m not sure how many students know what’s going on though, since Duke cut the WiFi and power and refuses to send us any food that isn’t from the new Devil’s Krafthouse.

For most of Duke’s administrators though, the day basically becomes a free vacation day—the same paid vacation a PTS employee could never get, I might add. Thing is, Duke students just don’t care about the Allen building anymore. It’s sort of like taking over Teer in that it barely disrupts the average student’s day. You want action? Try occupying the new BC Plaza bridge, or the WaDuke golf course—that’s what students and admins care about. 3)Please taze me, bro With all that said, you guys gotta drop the bid for amnesty from Duke—if they give you amnesty, then the whole occupation thing seems a little unnecessary, and if they don’t, you guys come off as soft for asking.

The EPA’s plan is simply bad policy. It will raise electricity prices. It imagines new meanings of definitions in settled law.

But harmful policies like Obama’s 15-year-plan are the price conservatives pay for withdrawing from constructive debate. There must be a better way. A constructive conservative energy policy would frame the debate differently. Instead of questioning the science of climate change, instead of placing ar299@duke.edu economic well being and environmental stewardship at odds, conservatives should ask: “how can government and markets work together? What energy policy is in the long-term interest of the United States? And what is the best way to achieve it?” Questions like these will drive conservatives, centrists and liberals to find common ground. Most will agree that hydrocarbon fuels have significant climatic, geostrategic and health-related disadvantages and that we should seek out

alternatives. This debate wouldn’t be about attributing blame or shaming opponents— it would be about how to accelerate the next energy revolution. Whale oil kept the lights shining for one generation. Kerosene fueled the next. Coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear energy power our present age. Emerging sources of electricity generation—wind, solar, tidal, nuclear and geothermal—all contend to be the “energy source of the future.” Both

subsidy regimes and regulatory approaches strive to cultivate these new forms of energy. But both strategies are hopelessly inefficient and should be discarded in favor of a marketbased approach, such as a carbon tax. The disadvantages of the regulatory approach have already been discussed, but why abandon subsidies? Green-energy advocates might point to Germany, China or even the United States as subsidy success stories. But in all these cases, subsidies have provided disappointing results. Renewable energy generates 27 percent of electricity in Germany but German electricity prices stand among the highest in Europe. Chinese investment in renewables—a ploy to reduce unpopular air pollution, not a commitment to environmental justice—has outstripped the electrical grid’s capacity, resulting in squandered power. In the U.S., the ethanol subsidy is an unmitigated disaster (and the driver of quadrennial pandering before the Iowa caucuses), while failures like the Solyndra bankruptcy mar government efforts to promote renewables. Rather than continuing to pick winners and losers, we should raise the price of carbon and let the market decide what will replace fossil fuels. Instead of distorting the market with subsidies, a carbon tax would correct the price of carbon to account for its true costs to the environment, public health and national security. Dismantling the subsidy regime in favor of a carbon tax would advance energy innovation, as scrappy energy start-ups too risky or too boring to secure a government subsidy would look even more attractive to investors seeking to diversify their portfolios. A carbon tax draws objections from conservatives and liberals alike. Conservatives are wary of instituting an entirely new tax. Liberals fret that carbon taxes, like sales taxes, are regressive, meaning that they take proportionally more from lower-income people. But the right policy could allay both concerns at once: pair any carbon tax increase with an income tax cut (or tax credits to the low-income consumers most affected by higher gasoline and electricity prices) to make the carbon tax revenue neutral. With a carbon tax, consumers would prioritize energy efficiency, power companies would seek out lower-priced alternatives and start-ups would compete to invent the most appealing alternatives to existing energy sources. Advances in oil and natural gas production have made the United States an energy superpower, but a carbon tax would make America the world leader in the design, manufacture and installation of renewable energy production for the foreseeable future. Conservatives must rethink energy policy or else be consigned to the (coal) ash heap of history. Matthew King is a Trinity sophomore. His column runs on alternate Mondays.
