Duke Dining named best in nation
ONE HUNDRED AND TWELFTH YEAR, ISSUE 3
LIFE WITH WEST UNION
Samantha Neal The Chronicle Duke Dining has received a boost in national ranking as the West Union is slated to open 12 new eateries on campus. Duke Dining was recently ranked first in a list for best college food by restaurant review website The Daily Meal, rising from ninth place two years ago and fifth last year. The jump coincides with the reopening of the West Union, which has been closed since July 2013. “They’ve worked so hard over the past few years to improve the dining program,” said Rick Johnson, associate vice president of student affairs for Housing, Dining and Residence Life. “They’re trying to get better all the time and some of that is being recognized by the rating agencies.” The building does not contain any typical soda fountains and instead offers flavored water, iced tea and carbonated water.

Opinion:
A vital campus revitalization West Union vs. The Loop Jackson Prince The Chronicle Duke University isn’t what it used to be, and that’s fantastic for us. The Duke University that welcomes its wide-eyed incoming freshman, its antsy transfer students hoping that they’ve landed in the right spot, its returners rededicating to another semester of work and play, its professors and laborers seeking something—anything—new, is not the deconstructed Duke University of 2016, a campus which lay in pieces on
the ground. Rather, it is a campus revitalized; the Duke crane is no longer its focal point, nor its microcosm. Today, it is a renovated football stadium. A reopened and ever-exquisite chapel. An idyllic— and quiet—Kilgo Quad. A wellness center and basketball cathedral almost complete, both on-track to finish when expected, and a victory for Title IX with the emergence of a softball program and its very own field. A bridge, a Bryan Center without an Au Bon Pain and,

Claire Ballentine The Chronicle Duke’s campus has been eagerly anticipating the opening of the West Union, but are its eateries really that different from other campus options? To compare the West Union with another popular campus eatery The Loop, The Chronicle held a taste test in its office. Participants were assistant news editor Samantha Neal and two non-staff members—junior Bonnie St. Charles and sophomore Analese Bridges. All participants were blindfolded and then
given a sample of three classic college dishes—pizza, pasta and cheeseburgers— one from a West Union eatery, Il Forno Italian Kitchen for the pizza and pasta and The Farmstead for the burgers, and one from The Loop. The three had to guess which location each food item came from and then share their thoughts on it. Here’s what they had to say: Pizza Round 1 - The Loop Samantha: It has a lot of toppings.

Editor’s note: It’s time for a change Duke is constantly changing—just this week a new class of freshmen moved into their homes on East Campus and West Union (finally!) opened its doors, bringing a wide range of food options to campus. And The Chronicle is no different—this year, we’re making a change as well. Starting Monday, we will print three days a week—Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays—with new content still published online daily. Towerview will no longer be in magazine format but instead will be a print supplement to the regular paper each month, and we’ll publish longform stories in the Towerview section on our website. The reduction represents a shift toward our digital model and efforts to give our readers the news where and when they need it. Nobody wants to wait until the next day to read about protests, presidential searches and task force recommendations. They want it immediately and with our digital first
mentality, we’re prepared to deliver it. We’ll have the same amount of content, just now on a different platform. During the last academic year, the student staff and the Duke Student Publishing Company board of directors discussed the possibility of making these changes, and the board voted in favor of cutting a day of print in June. The DSPC is the independent, nonprofit organization that The Chronicle has operated under since 1993, when it became financially and editorially independent from the University. Composed of Chronicle alumni, it’s responsible for setting broad policies of the newspaper. This doesn’t mean that print is going away—it’s simply evolving to appeal to a younger audience, people who consume their news via a phone or laptop rather than a print paper. We’re constantly working to incorporate our digital model by investing in new digital products, analyzing readership every year and
fine-tuning our strategic plan. Cutting one day of print production will allow staff to reallocate time and energy toward generating digital products. It enables us to use print for feature stories and longform stories and to gear our attention more toward social media and creating the digital content that we want. The decision to print one day less per week was not solely or even significantly motivated by finances, given the strong reserve funds The Chronicle has maintained and the small surplus that it has seen each of the past five years. Increasing digital revenue from advertising and a focus on fundraising with Chronicle alumni has contributed to the paper currently being in strong financial shape. We’re excited to begin this year—there’s never a shortage of newsworthy events at Duke, and we’re prepared to report on them. Hope you’re ready.

Freshmen told to take risks during 2016 Convocation Frances Beroset The Chronicle The Class of 2020 filled the newly renovated Duke Chapel to the brim for Convocation Wednesday morning. President Richard Brodhead along with Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag, Steve Nowicki— dean and vice provost for undergraduate education—and senior Tara Bansal, president of Duke Student Government, addressed the group of more than 1,700 students, one of the largest ever, encouraging them to immerse themselves in campus culture and take risks. The ceremony was not held in the Chapel last year due to its renovations, and the crowd this year proved to be slightly too large for the room. “The Chapel was a little bit overstuffed so we were stuck sitting on the floor and staring at a pillar, but it was a nice event,” freshman Isabel Ivanescu said. Guttentag highlighted members of the Class of 2020, which is made up of more than 50 percent students of color, from 49 states. He mentioned a competitive hula dancer, a high school ambassador to the Japanese government, an astral photographer, a rare fish breeder and a female dead lift record holder. “Accomplishments like these are always impressive. And I know that sometimes they can be a little intimidating,” Guttentag said. “But you were all chosen the same way. We weren’t looking for perfection. We weren’t looking to be amazed. We were looking for intelligence, honesty, thoughtfulness, kindness, engagement, ambition and the willingness to be both true to yourself and
part of a larger community at the same time. We’ve chosen you not for what you’ve done but what you can do.” Brodhead’s welcome centered around the topic of citizenship, and he pronounced students new citizens of Duke. “What determines citizenship of Duke?” Brodhead asked. “You are entitled to citizenship because you earned it the only way it can be won: by being a person of promise eager to live up to your full potential.” Brodhead emphasized that he views coming to Duke as having both benefits and responsibilities. “My friend Dean Guttentag lifted your spirits with pleasantries, and here I am, loading you down with expectations,” he said. “My excuse is, you actually need to visualize and embrace the commitments I’ve described: lower your expectations when you arrive and you will lower the quality of the experience you take away.” Bansal echoed Brodhead’s sentiment of taking advantage of opportunities by recounting her time as a coxswain on the men’s rowing team. “Whatever you do, never allow yourself to get comfortable,” she said. Following Bansal’s remarks, Nowicki stressed to students the need to immerse themselves deeply in their time at Duke, rather than be like the people he observed at the Louvre Museum this summer who took photos without looking at the art. “So here you are, Class of 2020, about to enter the educational equivalent of the Louvre,” Nowicki said. “And, of course, what we offer is not just a dazzling array of art—although I do recommend the Nasher—but an even more dazzling array See CONVOCATION on Page 9

DSWS focuses demands, prepares for Fall semester Allen Building and classes were relocated as negotiations with the nine students inside stalled. Toward the later days of the protest, President Richard Brodhead announced the formation of a steering committee that would make recommendations for “addressing issues of respect, civility, wages and inclusiveness for staff.” Later that evening, DSWS issued an updated list of demands, outlining in greater specificity goals for increased wages and an independent review of working conditions at Duke. On the last day of the sit-in, the students emerged from the building after a speech by Barber. At the time, protestors said their organizing would continue into the summer and the next semester. Looking ahead Haft noted that DSWS is not satisfied with the administration’s efforts. The task force set up by Brodhead does not include any members of DSWS and lacks transparency, she said. The group is also concerned that the minimum wage increase announced by the University will not be given to some groups of workers, including seasonal and part-time employees. Instead, they will focus on two demands this semester: covering more classes of workers under the University’s revised minimum wage along with greater financial transparency, as well as an independent review of PTS, OIE and DUPD. The other demands still stand, Haft said. “You’ll see that they fall really nicely with our seven demands and are quite strategic as far as things we know we can win, and know we can win this semester,” Haft said, noting the group actively discussed their goals during the summer.

Dear Duke Students,
Howard Kallem, in the Office for Institutional Equity, is Duke’s Director for Title IX Compliance. He is responsible for the coordination and administration of Duke’s nondiscrimination and harassment policies. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination. You should be aware that, consistent with Title IX and other federal requirements, the Duke Student Sexual Misconduct Policy prohibits all forms of sex/genderbased harassment, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, relationship violence (domestic violence and dating violence), and stalking.
DSWS will spread two zines on campus, she said. One titled, “We know we’ve been here,” will examine earlier activism at Duke. The other, titled “Disorientation” will be forwardlooking, she noted. They will also launch several programs during “Dis-Orientation Week”—a series of events DSWS plans to hold the weekend after Orientation Week—which will be targeted at educating new students. DSWS also worked this summer to involve more Durham organizers. “Duke is the largest employer in Durham, and the Durham city government is already on a $15 minimum wage track. Duke is the target of pretty much every progressive in Durham, so we have a lot of outside reinforcements,” Haft added.

Duke prof. Munger discusses Gary Johnson endorsement TC: What lessons do you take away from your libertarian bid for NC governor in 2008 about the viability The Chronicle of a libertarian in this presidential race? MM: In political science, we know that “third” parties Michael Munger, professor of political science and director of have two jobs. One: Blackmail the state-sponsored the philosophy, politics and economics certificate program, has duopoly parties into behaving more responsibly, by endorsed third-party Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson for pointing out their hypocrisy and wrong actions. Two: president. Munger himself mounted an unsuccessful Libertarian Embarrass the state-sponsored parties into adopting bid for North Carolina governor in 2008. The Chronicle’s Neelesh more responsible positions by suggesting new policies, Moorthy talked with Munger over email about his endorsement of such as decriminalization of drugs and a “Basic Income Johnson and his criticism of the two-party system. Guarantee.”
Neelesh Moorthy
The Chronicle: What is it about Gary Johnson’s Libertarian policies or positions that attracts you the most? Michael Munger: Libertarians are socially very liberal, and fiscally conservative. That is just not a choice we have in North Carolina. So, being for gay marriage, pro-choice in reproductive rights, for treating immigrants like human beings and being skeptical of locking up huge numbers of people for the “crime” of possessing small amounts of substances that grow in nature is very attractive to me. Also, Johnson has experience working “across the aisle.” He is a two-term governor of a very Democratic state. That is, he was elected, and then re-elected, by people who were persuaded that his vision of leadership was inclusive. Neither Clinton nor Trump have this kind of administrative experience in elected office! Johnson is actually the best qualified candidate, in terms of practical experience. TC: When did you first decide to formally endorse him? Did you issue a public statement? MM: I actually know him pretty well, having campaigned for him (and sometimes introduced him) in the 2012 race. The idea of my “issuing a public statement” is kind of funny: how would anyone know if I “issued a public statement”? It’s not like I have any kind of public following. To whom would I “issue a statement”? What I did do is agree to an endorsement statement, and the Johnson campaign added me to a list of endorsers that they keep. TC: Have you always been a Libertarian, or was there a point when you switched from a party? MM: I was a Republican all my life. I worked in the first Reagan administration, for [Budget Director] Jim Miller and Wendy Gram [wife of Texas Sen. Phil Gram]. But in 2003, within one week in March, two things happened. One: [George Bush] invaded a country that posed no threat to the U.S. And two: I had dinner with Rick Santorum, who was visiting Duke to give a talk. I realized that I was not a Republican. I might claim, as Reagan did, that “I didn’t change, they did.” But in any case I have no interest being part of a group that advocates violence, the use of force, mass incarceration and aggressive spying on American citizens. Which, by the way, is also the reason I’m not a Democrat, since President Obama has largely simply been an extension of Bush era foreign policy and the insane “War on Drugs.” The U.S. has nearly 25 percent of all the prisoners in the world. Why?
TC: Do you think Gary Johnson has a shot at the presidency, realistically? If so, why? If not, what stands in his way? MM: If you asked Coke and Pepsi, they would oppose allowing more than two soft drinks. If you asked Ford and General Motors, they would say that two car companies are “enough.” But they don’t get to do that! The difference
is that the Democrats and Republicans find competition very inconvenient, because outsiders can point out that the state-sponsored political cartel is extremely corrupt. Consequently, the [Democrats] and [Republicans], who do have the power to rewrite the rules, create obstacles to competition. They make it very hard to get on the ballot in most states, and they deny legitimate candidates a chance to participate in debates. So, the biggest obstacle to any “third” party candidate is the fact that the state-sponsored parties find competition inconvenient and deny voters the fundamental right to vote for the candidate of their choice. (This is part of the reason for the “Trump Revolution,” by the way: The smug Republicans thought they could control the process of candidate selection, and it blew up in their face!) Gary Johnson is polling well above 10 percent. But it See MUNGER on Page 12

Duke graduate students get ready to unionize Neelesh Moorthy The Chronicle Duke graduate students are making plans to unionize following a favorable ruling by the National Labor Relations Board. The NLRB ruled Tuesday that “student assistants” at private universities are legally allowed to unionize under the National Labor Relations Act, overturning a prior 2004 decision denying such a right. The Duke Graduate Students Union—although not legally a union until it files with the NLRB and holds an election—held a gathering of about 30 people at the Duke Chapel and celebrated the victory. “I am painfully familiar with the plight of the graduate student expected to learn full-time, work full-time, teach fulltime,” said Christopher Shreve, a biology Ian Jaffe | The Chronicle instructor. “You can’t work three-full time A crowd of 30 gathered at the Chapel Tuesday to celebrate a National Labor Relations Board jobs, you just can’t.” ruling allowing graduate students to unionize.
A lengthy debate The history of graduate student unionization has gone back and forth and has been contentious, said Daniel Bowling, a senior lecturing fellow at the Duke Law School. In 2000, he explained, the NLRB ruled in a case involving New York University that graduate students could unionize and go through collective bargaining. That ruling was reversed, however, in a 2004 case involving Brown University. The 2004 Board, which included several appointees of Republican President George W. Bush, revoked graduate students’ right to unionize. The 2004 removal of unionization rights was motivated by asking “are you primarily an employee or a student,” Bowling said.
If graduate student workers are deemed primarily students—as the 2004 Board decided—then they lose the protections of the NLRA, he explained. With this new decision—in a case involving Columbia University—the Board ruled that graduate student workers count as employees able to unionize, even if they are studying as well. Bowling added that the shift in policy was likely partisan. “As to the latter point, this was a very predictable decision, in that the current Board makeup is dominated by Obama’s appointees, who has made it a goal of his administration to expand coverage of the Act to more people,” he wrote in an email. “Plus, it is a close call from a legal standpoint, and not an outrageous overreach.”
Scott Barish, a Ph.D. student in cell and molecular biology and one of the union’s organizers, said the campaign has not yet spoken to administrators. However, it plans to do so in the coming weeks, he noted. Issues they hope to address, Barish said, include a lack of dental care, improving child care for students with families, more transparency from the administration and a clear contract listing graduate students’ rights and responsibilities. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, took issue with the NLRB’s ruling in a written statement. “The NLRB decision doesn’t recognize the fact that students who engage in
research and teaching as part of their programs of study are very different than employees,” he wrote. “They are vital members of the academic community with quite different relationships to their professors than an employee has to a supervisor. Duke has made significant investments in stipends, insurance and other benefits to enhance their educational experience, not for the purpose of hiring or retaining them as employees.” Bowling did offer a note of caution that, like the 2004 ruling being reversed, this new ruling could be re-examined in the future. For example, should Donald Trump have two terms as president, he would eventually have heavy influence on the Board, Bowling said. At the same time, Trump is less antiunion than most past Republican candidates, he explained. Unions nationwide According to The Atlantic, there are currently 31 officially recognized graduate student unions nationwide. Most, however, exist at public universities, which are covered by state law rather than NLRB decisions. Graduate students at North Carolina public universities would be able to unionize, but not collectively bargain, Bowling explained. New York University is one of the few private universities that has agreed to work with a graduate student union of its own accord, despite the prior lack of legal requirement. Graduate students at NYU had a union from 2000 to 2005, a time period in which graduate students were legally guaranteed unionization rights, said Maida Rosenstein, See UNIONIZE on Page 9

UNIONIZE from page 8 president of the Local 2210 union covering NYU graduate students. Once the 2004 NLRB ruling came into effect, however, she said the university refused to negotiate a new contract. Following a sustained public pressure campaign lasting until 2013, a new contract was reached. “The union was really relentless,” she said. “We kept at it, even though at that point the law was against us.” Barish noted that they were willing to try something similar at Duke had the NLRB decision not gone in their favor. Benefits received by NYU graduate students after unionizing, Rosenstein said, included stipends raised by 38 percent, expanded health care coverage, the creation of a child care subsidy and the establishment of worker protections and dispute resolution procedures. Nora Gimpel, an organizer for the Western Michigan University Teaching Assistants’ Union, a public union, shared a similar story. In an email, she wrote that base pay for graduate assistants has increased by $971, tuition credits increased by four credits a semester and a health care subsidy was created. Next steps Marcus Benning, Trinity ‘14 and president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, wrote in an email that GPSC is not currently involved with the unionization efforts. He did, however, express support for increased attention to labor issues at the University. “Currently, GPSC is not directly involved in organizing students regarding this issue, but as all issues related to graduate students fall under our purview, GPSC
will research the implications, consult all stakeholders and act in the best interests of the community,” he wrote. Barish said that the union is going to continue building support in the coming weeks and will formally file with the NLRB for a union election once it has enough support. The bargaining unit, he explained, would be focused primarily on doctoral students, but could also include other graduate students as long as they are being paid by Duke. Editor’s note: The Chronicle spoke with Bowling and Barish via phone and email.
DINING from page 1 Environment, said the carbonated water can be customized using flavored syrups—much like an Italian soda. The decision about sodas reflected the opinions of focus groups, Taylor said. Groups included Duke Student Government representatives, Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee members, administrators and other students. “We elected to focus on healthy dining throughout the building as is reflected by the various menu items and the emphasis on fresh, nutritious and communal,” wrote Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, in an email. “Moving away from fountain beverages supports that notion.” Taylor, who has remained DUSDAC chair since last year, added that students will still be able to purchase sodas from the Bryan Center.

college campus and is one of only four in the world. “We knew that to enhance the Asian offerings, students wanted dumplings and buns, and you needed this piece of equipment,” he said. Moneta wrote that he believes the fire pit at JB’s Roast & Chops, an eatery specializing in finely cooked meats, is one of the coolest features of the West Union. Unlike a traditional gas fire, the dishes—including paella, London broils and steaks—are prepared over an open wood fire. Johnson noted that the inspiration for this fire pit was Jaleo, a tapas restaurant inside The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. There are no similar apparatuses on college campuses, he said. At Café, the West Union showcases a different type of ice cream, Johnson said. The ice cream is mixed in a container while liquid nitrogen freezes it to be ready in 90 seconds, and the result is creamier than normal ice cream. Johnson explained that the ice cream will be made in front of students using milk, cream, sugar and flavors such as strawberries, peaches or vanilla. “It’s the same great homemade ice cream because we start with the freshest ingredients,” Johnson said. The Chef’s Kitchen in the West Union will serve as a teaching kitchen and will host cooking lessons for students, faculty and staff later in the Fall semester. The same area will also have a pop-up restaurant, which will have a rotating theme and a seasonal menu. “That really is the crown jewel of the building,” Johnson said. “It’s not that every venue isn’t unique and beautiful in its own way, but when you look at the Chef’s Kitchen, that’s the real wow factor.”
New offerings The West Union is designed to have different varieties of food than other campus eateries. At Ginger + Soy, students can order dumplings and Asian buns from a customOther changes made steamer. Johnson explained the Taylor noted the West Union may continue steamer is the only one on a United States to change as students return to campus and
begin sampling the food for themselves. “None of the menus are set in stone by any means,” Taylor said. “We’re hoping to get a lot of student feedback over the next few days, weeks and months. Any menu can be changed to add an item or take away an item that people don’t like.” The re-opening of the West Union will have an impact on some of the existing dining options on campus, he added. Taylor said that there will not be any cuts to the Merchants-on-Points lineup, but the hours of operation will be scaled back so that they will primarily be a late-night option. Any further changes to MOPs will be decided by student demand, he noted. “I would anticipate that at the end of this year going into next year there will probably be a large change to the lineup because some MOPs or some food trucks might not have nearly as much demand,” Taylor said. “Because there is something in the West Union that fills that niche, there’s no reason to have a food truck that offers the same cuisine as something that’s open in the West Union seven days a week.” Food trucks will no longer operate in the Chapel circle. Instead, one will be stationed in the Kilgo lot and another will be located on Swift Avenue, wrote Robert Coffey— director of dining services—in an email. This year’s food truck schedule is still being finalized, he added.

Can a child count on you this fall? Join the national effort to improve math education this fall by becoming a tutor in the America Counts program. Modeled after the very successful America Reads Challenge, America Counts lets volunteers and university students in the federal work-study program tutor elementary-school students in basic math.
America Counts FAQs
Why be a math tutor?
Who can tutor?
• Students need solid math skills in the information age.
America Counts welcomes undergraduate and graduate student tutors. Volunteers tutor two hours each week. Students eligible for federal workstudy tutor up to six hours each week. The rate of pay for undergraduate work-study tutors starts at $13.50 per hour. For graduate students, the rate starts at $16.50.
Where do tutors work?
At Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership elementary and middle schools, nearby charter schools and community centers.
When do I tutor?
America Counts tutors work with children during school, Monday through Friday.
• Low income students who take algebra and geometry attend college at three times the rate of those who do not. • Math teaches students ways of thinking that apply in every workplace. • Math tutors are great role models. • Local schools need math tutors. • It’s fun!
How do I apply?
Submit online by 5 p.m. on September 7th. Application is available here: http://sites.duke.edu/arac/ The Community Service Center is a department of Duke University Office of Durham and Regional Affairs
Round 2 - The Loop Samantha: This is definitely not really an alfredo, it’s more tomato-y. I definitely like this one more, it’s more flavorful. I think it has more spice to it. Analese: There’s definitely more bite to the sauce itself. I’m getting more of an herb flavor. If I had to choose between these two options, I would pick this one over the former. I’m not quite sure where it’s from though. Bonnie: It has more flavor for sure, like they put some kind of red pepper in it. And it’s definitely from The Loop. Cheeseburger Round 1 - The Loop Samantha: Wow, that’s a lot of mayo. I probably wouldn’t get this burger just because I prefer mustard on my burgers. Analese: There’s definitely a lot of something on here, I think it’s mayo. It sort of masks the fact that the meat has no flavor. It’s not awful, but I wouldn’t necessarily order it again. Bonnie: There are a lot of condiments on this. Yeah the meat has like no flavor. The bun is okay. It’s a little squished. And the mayo doesn’t take like normal mayo, it seems like they tried to do something fancy with it, but like in reality, it’s just mayo. It would have been better if they had made the burger normal. I think it’s from The Loop. Samantha: I feel like the lettuce was kind of underwhelming. Analese: This tastes like a burger from McDonald’s to be completely honest. The initial bite wasn’t super impressive. Round 2 - West Union Samantha: The bun feels a little fluffier. But it’s a little soggy. There are a lot of condiments. It’s just very meaty. I don’t necessarily like this one more. I don’t think I’m a huge fan of either one of these burgers. The burger itself definitely seems thicker, but it’s really dry. I probably wouldn’t get this. Analese: The first thing that strikes me is that the bread feels very different. It feels like a white bread, that you would just get in a bag at the grocery store. And it’s thin, so it makes it seem like there’s a lot more burger. So it’s a meatier bite, but there’s not a lot of condiments on it. I don’t really prefer either one of them. Bonnie: It tastes like a very juicy burger on some Texas toast. It’s not really better than the last one. Frankly it needs mayo. I think this is a better burger, but the bun is a little weird. It’s a bit of a try-hard burger. But I think overall, the actual meat in this burger is better. I think it’s from West Union. Analese: Because it’s thicker, it makes me think that it was hand patted out instead of frozen, because frozen burgers tend to be thinner. Final observations Bonnie: Honestly none of the food was that great. But it all was something I would eat if I was hungry. Analese: I second that opinion. There wasn’t anything that really stood out for me. There were standard changes. But it’s pretty typical dining hall food. Bonnie: [Choosing between The Loop and West Union] would be a matter of convenience for me. The West Union may be trying to be a little too fancy with these burger buns, but we all have to define ourselves somehow. Adam Beyer contributed reporting.

REVITALIZE
This shift in attitude from the University has been long overdue. For some time in between the construction of three new freshman dorms in 1994, there had been a lull in on-campus improvement. The money, for some reason, wasn’t going toward undergraduate experience, a characteristic upon which Duke usually prides itself. During that time, the University dealt with increased apathy due to inaction across the spectrum, from failure to address student and alumni concerns to failures to protect its students and athletes, as in various cases—and miss-cases—of sexual assault. Only about 15 years later, when the University decided to begin renovating and creating, was the reason for the stockpile of funding revealed. Hundreds of millions of dollars were poured into these various projects, and I couldn’t be happier with the use of the school’s funding. Duke is a business reliant upon the satisfaction of its customers—us. And Duke, specifically, is a university reliant upon its campus; an environment without the attraction of a major U.S. city, but with all of the allure of a major American university. Duke decided to outdo everyone else, placing a significant investment toward undergraduate and on-campus life. It banked on belief that the foundations of the school, Duke basketball, the Chapel, its elite academic and research prowess and its size and scope, would benefit from a better East and West Campus. It must be mentioned that Duke has not ignored its encompassing city of Durham, which has overgone a transformation in the past decade, in large part to aid from the Duke community. “Dirty Durm” is now an ironic moniker, as the gentrification of the city has attracted trendy businesses and curious people,
as well as a new sense of city-wide pride and forward thinking. As is a problem in most gentrifying cities, Durham’s poorest and most long-standing communities have been shunned, and are often forced out. Despite this, it is impossible to deem great progress for a city as deserving of revitalization as Durham a bad thing. There will always be opponents to the ramifications of gentrification, but for Durham, a major component of The Research Triangle, such progress was inevitable and necessary. Yet, Duke is nowhere near perfect. No college is perfect. From the little things of inconvenient wheelchair access, inadequate air conditioning and poorly-labeled food, to larger issues of labor inequity, restricted freedoms of expression and sexual assault—all of which plague most major universities— Duke has much work to do, and perhaps a change in leadership with the departure of President Richard Brodhead will spark a new flame. But it is impossible to ignore, and imperative to appreciate, how Duke has opened the 2016-17 academic year. From better and more foolproof wireless internet, increased access to all kinds of psychological resources on-campus, an uptick in green awareness and in safety, to the arrival of a crane-less and awe-inspiring campus, Duke has taken the initiative to care more about its undergraduates than any other school. More than ever, it is a place to learn and to play, to settle and to be unsettled, to achieve and to dream. And, with our athletes eating better than ever, it’s sure to be the year of the Blue Devil.

Realizing responsibility
O
n Wednesday, President Brodhead delivered a convocation speech to the Class of 2020 in which he stressed the importance of being a citizen of Duke rather than just a student. He rightly noted that in addition to providing privileges and rights, citizenship carries the weight of responsibility to a community. Today, we explore three responsibilities of Duke citizens: contributing to the intellectual environment, ensuring that the campus’s conscientious diversity persists (and is strengthened) and promoting and honoring the community standard. Students first have a responsibility to enrich Duke’s intellectual environment. As President Brodhead stated, this particular responsibility begins in the classroom with students deliberately participating in discussions, asking questions and sharing insights; it must extend beyond, however. Students ought to carry weighty discussions out of lecture halls and splice them into other conversations, whether dinner discourses or late-night roommate chats. Doing so not only forces them to think critically about what they have learned in class, but spreads that knowledge to their peers who might not have otherwise been exposed to it. Academic discussions need not dominate students’ lives, but by occasionally carrying them out with friends and peers, Duke students can easily
propagate the intellectual campus atmosphere and serve their university as productive citizens. In addition to their intellectual duties, Duke students also have responsibilities related to keeping the campus open to and welcoming of diversity. More specifically, as we wrote in March, students need to be conscientious about how they view the concept of diversity. It is essential to recognize that it is insufficient to simply accept that the student body is ethnically, religiously and idealistically heterogeneous. Rather, citizens of the campus must work to understand
Editorial how their peers’ diverse identities have shaped them and ought to explore facets of those identities in an academically rigorous fashion in an effort to learn about different cultures. Upholding conscientious diversity has little to do with political correctness, but everything to do with making the campus understanding and accepting of all. Students, third, have a responsibility to honor and uphold Duke’s Community Standard. In April, we called for the community standard to be reinvigorated, strengthened and more strongly enforced. While a prominent and

enforceable community standard cannot perform miracles, it can serve as the moral touchstone of a university, guiding students away from misconduct and impropriety. Of course, each student is tasked with abiding by the rules and policies of institutions, but further, each citizen is charged with a responsibility to take action in the presence of injustice. In the absence of administrative action elevating the community standard, students are responsible for governing both their actions and their peers’ actions to ensure that they abide by rule of law. That responsibility might manifest in direct intervention, or it might take the form of a student filing a report (even anonymously) when they see something dishonorable occurring. A virtuous citizen owes it to his/her community to uphold justice, and properly applying a code of honor is a good way to do so. Duke University offers the chance for incredible academic and personal growth to its students, bestowing upon them a world-class education and copious opportunities that they can use to shape themselves during formative years. In order to ensure that those benefits persist, citizens of the institution must fulfill their responsibilities to keep the university great.

Four ways to wake up earlier
ere’s some math: if you wake up 30 minutes earlier every day for just one week, you will have an extra three and a half hours of productive time to get things done. And another equation: If you wake up one hour earlier every day for just one week, you will have an extra seven hours of productive time to accomplish your goals. And another: using one of the two above methods every day for a single month will give you either 15 or 30 extra hours of time alert and fully conscious — the equivalent of one or two whole days, respectively. Fact: waking up earlier sucks. But, is waking up earlier worth the pain that it takes to develop the habit? I’m going to say yes. The early morning is one of the few times productivity is easy, because there are no distractions and no excuses to procrastinate. Your willpower meter is also higher in the early hours of the day, which makes mornings the perfect time to take difficult actions toward your biggest goals and projects

morning time. It is easy to procrastinate in the evening when you have exhaustion, rowdy friends and YouTube all vying for your attention. It is much more difficult to put off work in the morning when you’re freshly awoken, full of energy and sporting a nice buzz from your morning injection of caffeine. Get out of bed right away. Too many times (and I know I’m not alone in this), I have either fallen back asleep after turning off my alarm off or have remained in bed for an extra twenty minutes dozing and contemplating the incredibly fascinating plaster swirls on my ceiling. Set your alarm to full volume and put it all the way across the room. I guarantee you’ll be motivated to get to it before you wake the slumbering bear that is your roommate. Or maybe take a bathroom break right after waking up to clear out your system and wash your face with cold water. Just make sure you are sitting up and out from under your sheets instantly. The first few seconds are vital. In summary, the snooze button is a deceptively seductive

— a process that generally requires a lot of willpower and motivation. It is a keystone habit, positively affecting many other habits in your life and generally make you a more productive and healthy person. The habit of early rising will improve your discipline, a skill that all of us could use. For most of us, it’s easy to say “I’m a night owl” and call it quits before we even start. But is that really how we want to go through life? Giving up before you even begin is not giving yourself the chance to simply try a new approach. For waking up earlier: start small. Don’t start by waking up an hour, or even thirty minutes, earlier. Your body is a habit machine and jolting it like that with a large and sudden change will only be painful. Begin setting your alarm fifteen minutes earlier and getting up with it consistently for at least three days. Then, go another fifteen minutes. As with all habits, a gradual change is just as good as a rapid one and is much more sustainable. It’s imperative that you also go to bed earlier. This is a no-brainer, but most fail to abide by it. Assuming that you need between seven and nine hours of sleep per night, if you slice thirty minutes to an hour of sleep off in the mornings then you need to add it back at night. For any nitpickers out there, yes, that means that you don’t actually have more net time in the day. However, you’re trading inefficient evening time for productive
temptress and must be eliminated! Turn off electronics for an hour before you sleep. Chemistry lesson: melatonin is the hormone that tells your body to get sleepy. Physics lesson: the kind of light emitted from the screens of our phones, laptops and tablets is called “blue light” and suppresses the hormone melatonin more than any other kind of light. Sleep lesson: if you don’t cut off screen time before bed, the blue light will flush out your melatonin and confuse your circadian rhythm. Just like you do when someone is giving you mixed signals, your body will be confused and frustrated. In response, it doesn’t go to sleep like you want it to. You aren’t meant to be a cyborg, and a little time off the screen could benefit you more than you think. You might even end up reading a book instead! How retro would that be? For most college students, waking up early is up there on the “Avoid Like the Plague List” beside 8:30 a.m. classes, Economics 101 and terrifyingly-long research papers. Yet, in this case, there are tangible benefits to committing to this new habit. You will get more done, have more free time to enjoy your friends and hobbies and benefit from the knowledge that you set yourself to do something that most others have yet to even attempt.

If Trump wasn’t Trump Rape not accepted here
L
ately, there’s been a spring in the steps of Hillary Clinton’s supporters. The Trump campaign has stumbled into a succession of controversies and his momentum is stalled. From his attacks on the Muslim family of a fallen marine to his unwieldy and condescending outreach to black voters, the last month has been a tough one for Trump. Recent polls suggest several battleground states are leaning towards Clinton and even traditionally republican territories like Missouri are now evenly split. The race isn’t over, but with the election 73 days away, the odds are in Clinton’s favor.
workforce and what manufacturing jobs remain are increasingly automated. Furthermore, Trump’s blue collar supporters have endured sharp drops in the quality of education, public services and health in their communities. Maps of the U.S. states by mortality rate, white poverty rate and college education bear striking resemblance to a map of Donald Trump’s support. Multiple administrations have failed to aid the working class through period of transition, or in many cases to even acknowledge the damage occurring in their communities. The result is a volatile cocktail of misfortune and neglect. For those still

t’s been a few days since hundreds of firstyears descended on Duke’s campus. Duke never feels more alive than it does during orientation week and during the first few weeks of classes. The enthusiasm for Duke and for learning is palpable. Upperclassmen will smile when you frantically ask what “Sakai” is and we’ll poke fun when you proudly announce you are both premed AND pre-law. You’re about to have the best, craziest, most thought-provoking four years of your life and as a senior, I wish I could trade places with you and start it all again. Unfortunately, for some of you, your first couple months of college won’t be exactly what you anticipated. You probably won’t be the smartest person in the room anymore, or you
are protected from ever being assaulted again. But we aren’t protected, and we are wasting our time by worrying about it. So to all the young women arriving on Duke’s campus: enjoy your college experience. Embrace the freedom to wear whatever you want, hookup with whomever you want and dance however you want. Don’t ask your roommate if the length of your skirt makes you look like a slut. Don’t feel obligated to return a guy’s flirtation just because he was nice. Don’t take away from your college experience by worrying about sexual assault, because there is nothing you can do to prevent it from happening to you. Instead, I want the young men arriving on campus to worry about sexual assault. Instead of

FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP
PROBLEMATIC PEOPLE DOING PROBLEMATIC THINGS
Assuming she wins the election, her first quiet moments in the Oval Office will be spent reflecting on the threat that Donald Trump almost was. Throughout this election, Trump has proven to be a remarkably bad candidate. His campaign has raised fewer than half of the donations Clinton has gathered, he’s antagonized popular members of his own party and his quick temper has a habit of entangling him in damaging controversies. But, what if Trump were different? Imagine for a moment that all of Donald Trump’s bluster and braggadocio was replaced by tact and eloquence. Imagine if rather than alienating minorities, he’d instead brought them into the fold of his anti-establishment, down-with-the-politicians campaign. After all, they too have reason to be angry at the political elite. What if his demagoguery was characterized by wit rather than wrath, and cunning rather than clumsiness? If Trump, hindered as he is by these handicaps of character, has nonetheless been competitive against Clinton, a more skilled candidate with the same message might have soundly beaten her. Luckily for Clinton, Donald Trump is Donald Trump. It’s worth remembering, however, that there were times when Trump seemed to pose a serious threat, occasionally even overtaking her in certain national polls. It raises an important question. How does a candidate like Trump, the metaphorical equivalent of a back-alley brawler, compete with the highly trained, professional boxer that is Hillary Clinton? The answer lies with the white, working-class voter. As The Atlantic reported in March, surveys show the two most significant identifiers of a Trump supporter are the absence of a college degree and the belief that he or she is “voiceless.” In fact, “for every 1 percentage point more college graduates over the age of 25, Trump’s share of votes falls by 0.65 percentage points,” making education the best predictor of whether or not someone will vote “Trump.” Contrary to their stereotype, not having a college degree doesn’t make his supporters unintelligent. It makes them outsiders in a modern economy. The past several years have been painful for the white working class. Men without college degrees have seen their wages fall 13 percent over the last 25 years, compared to a 7 percent rise for men with a fouryear degree. Blue collar manufacturing workers have also seen their wages decline dramatically, assuming their factories haven’t closed outright. Free-trade policies implemented in the 1990s triggered an exodus of good-paying jobs after 2000, and in just the last 15 years, 5 million manufacturing jobs have disappeared. At the same time, globalization has raised the demand for an educated, highly skilled
employed, like the 12 million American manufacturing workers, the fear of not being able to provide for their families is visceral and constant. The bitterness of those who have lost their jobs is obvious. Too often, our conversations about the “Trump Phenomenon” are limited to discussions of nationalism, xenophobia and racism, all of which did play a role in Trump’s rise. However, if it weren’t for a set of economic conditions, his campaign wouldn’t be possible. Subject anyone to hardship, make them feel invisible in the eyes of their government, and it is only a matter of time until their anger boils over. They will cling to the first demagogue that comes to them with open arms saying, “I see you.” This is certainly what Trump did, when he burst into the spotlight last year offering scapegoats and a bullhorn to Americans who felt abandoned by the political elite. The working class won him the Republican nomination and, had he deployed a real ground game, he might have even captured the blue-collar vote in Democratic territory. So if we’re going to generalize, Trump supporters are not fools, nor are they bigots. Much like progressives, they feel that the economy no longer works for them, and I can’t blame them for that. A future Clinton administration will have no choice but to address the economic plight of the white working class, in addition to the many other challenges she will face. Politics is about investing in the future, and while populist candidates like Trump and Bernie Sanders might be held at bay in 2016 (though with very different approaches), this election season has exposed the power of the white working class to turn elections. There is blood in the water, and we can expect more and better populist challengers in 2020 if Clinton’s administration doesn’t bring help to the demographic that will vote against her this November. But besides her own political survival, there is another reason that uplifting working class, uneducated Americans, especially those who voted for Trump, should be a national priority: compassion. These are good people, by and large, whose circumstances and experiences, fears and misfortunes have driven them to support a candidate that is entirely unfit to be president. Had I lived their lives, I suspect I would have made the same decision. We all probably would, and so we all share some measure of responsibility for the condition of neglect that pushed our fellow citizens into Donald Trump’s warm embrace. As the proverb goes: “There, but for the grace of God, go I.” Ian Burgess is a Trinity sophomore. His column, “from the mountaintop,” will run on alternate Fridays.
may struggle in subjects you breezed through in high school. It may take some time to find a group of friends you feel are your family. And some of you will be sexually assaulted. I wish it were a question of “if,” but in reality it’s really a question of “when.” I’m not telling you this to send waves of terror rippling through you (or your parents), but because I want to tell you something you may not know yet. It won’t be your fault. When young women go off to college, a lot of parents have “the talk” with them. Moms remind their daughters not to drink from the punch. Dads warn to watch out for the guy that pretends to be sweet and attentive because he really just wants to have sex. There is the endless conversation about safety when consuming alcohol, about being sure not to drink too much, about watching one’s cup at all times, about avoiding people you don’t know, etc. Parents mean well; nevertheless, statistically, one in five women will be sexually assaulted while in college. Those are terrifying odds. Parents want to protect their daughters from the worst. They’re missing the point. Everyone—people of all genders—embarking on their college journeys should follow some basic safety rules: avoid drinking too much, travel places in large groups, don’t leave your drinks unattended, have designated meet-up times with friends, etc. However, as a woman in college, you can follow all the rules and then some and still be a victim of sexual assault. And not following the rules for whatever reason doesn’t make an assault your fault. Women are raped while drunk and while sober, alone or in large groups, with or without date rape drugs. You can be the most careful person in the world; you can be the most selective person of the people you choose to call friends. There is no innoculation for sexual assault. So much time is spent in the lead-up to college talking to girls about how to protect themselves from sexual assault that we may actually start to believe that our actions can shield us. If we dress appropriately, act like a lady and drink responsibly then we’ll be fine. The reality is that our actions have no bearing on our becoming victims of sexual assault. It’s a waste of time to be hyper-vigilant about protecting ourselves, because our behavior isn’t the problem. Women are assaulted in bikinis and in burqas, in crop tops and in turtlenecks. How women behave is not going to either protect us from or make us subject to sexual assault. Worrying about how our own actions are perceived by men is panic-inducing and pointless; it shifts the blame from those who commit sexual assault to those who are unlucky enough to be the victims. If the dice don’t roll in your favor, you can cross that bridge when you come to it. But worrying does nothing to change how the dice will land. Nothing you do can make sexual assault your fault. The notion of letting go of the belief that our behavior can defend us from assault is nothing short of terrifying. Blaming our own actions when we become the victims of crime can be a way of trying to take back the power and control that was taken from us. It makes us feel like we
parents having “the talk” with their daughters, I want parents to have “the talk” with their sons. Sexual assault is a man’s problem; men commit 98 percent of sexual assaults. That does not mean, however, that 98 percent of men are rapists. The vast majority of men will never commit sexual assault. A very small proportion of men on campus perpetrate crimes of sexual violence, and most of them are repeat offenders. It’s easy to feel absolved of any responsibility as a young man just arriving on campus. “I’m not a rapist. Why should I care?” You should care because some among your fellow men arriving on campus are rapists or will become rapists. The vast majority won’t use weapons. The vast majority will know the victim. The vast majority probably won’t even consider themselves rapists. It could be your roommate, the guy from your calculus class or an athlete. A seemingly completely normal guy—a guy that you may end up calling a friend or even a best friend. You’ll assume that you could never so misjudge a person’s character and be friends with a rapist for god’s sake, and you’ll be wrong. This is why sexual assault is your problem. When we place all the focus of preventing sexual assault on women by telling them to “just be careful,” we are telling the men who commit sexual assault that they are not responsible for their own actions when in fact they are the only ones responsible. That lack of accountability is a symptom of how the rest of society views victims of sexual assault. The men of Duke University and across college campuses can help combat sexual assault by making sure that they are the type of man who always asks sexual partners for explicit, sober, verbal consent. Ask a person to dance instead of grabbing them from behind (yes, this is directed at you, firstyear boys who grabbed me at Shooters this past Wednesday), and be the kind of guy that doesn’t accept that behavior from his friends. Be the kind of person a friend could confide in when they’ve been sexually assaulted. Be the kind of person who will believe the victim when they tell you the perpetrator is your best friend. The only way to end sexual assault is to destroy the culture that supports it and protects perpetrators, not by policing how women behave. College is an incredible, amazing time. Your every thought will be challenged and your world will be altered for the better. You’ll meet people from all over the world, get to study in places you’ve never dreamed of and be surrounded by some of the smartest people in the country. But if women are going to enjoy all the promises that college holds, they need men to own sexual assault as their problem. There’s no point in placing all of the pressure on women to protect themselves. There is every point in men worrying about making sure they and their friends don’t become or support rapists.

PREPARING TO SAY GOODBYE
WALKING DOWN MEMORY LANE
Play-by-play broadcaster Bob Harris set for victory lap in 41st year at Duke me the time.’ I looked at him and his eyes were misty [and] his chin was quivering.” More than eight years later, the Blue Devils won their first national championship. Harris coined his signature phrase “How sweet it is!” and after the game found himself alone with Krzyzewski again inside the coaches’ locker room. “He leaned back against the wall [and] shut his eyes. I looked at him and I said, ‘Coach, I’m so glad they gave you the time,’” Harris said. “His eyes opened and he said, ‘You remembered that?’ I said, ‘Coach, I’ll never forget that.’” After Harris announced his retirement, Krzyzewski released a statement—which can be viewed in its entirety online—saying that he considers Harris and his wife Phyllis part of the Krzyzewski family.
Amrith Ramkumar The Chronicle On July 6, Duke quarterback Thomas Sirk was worried. It wasn’t because of his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon or an issue with any of his teammates. It was because he was uncertain whether Blue Devil play-by-play announcer Bob Harris would be around for the 2016 season. After Harris discussed his retirement at a press conference, he exited Cameron Indoor Stadium with his family and saw the Blue Devil signal caller heading in his direction. “He comes almost in a trot, he says, ‘Mr. Harris, Mr. Harris.’ He comes over to me and he says, ‘Please tell me you’re going to be here for my senior year,’” Harris said Monday. “I said, ‘Yes, Thomas, I’m going to be here for your senior year.’ He just grabbed me and hugged me.” Luckily for Sirk and those involved with the Duke men’s basketball and football programs, the University is letting Harris take a victory lap. The hall of fame broadcaster announced the day before the July 5 press conference that the 2016-17 season—his 41st at Duke—will be his last. When Harris retires next spring, the University and collegiate sports world will lose an icon. The Albemarle, N.C., native will retire as the longest-tenured play-byplay announcer in ACC history after 50 total years in broadcasting. ‘Like a fairytale’ He has called more than 450 football games and 1,350 men’s basketball games during his time in Durham, but Harris said he will miss the relationships he has built

with Duke’s coaches and players the most. The 74-year old got his broadcasting start working for local radio stations in Albemarle and Durham following a five-year stint with the tire company Goodyear and has since become close with some of the most notable figures in sports—including head coaches Mike Krzyzewski and David Cutcliffe. Harris arrived at Duke five years before the all-time winningest head coach in Division I men’s basketball and has had a front-row seat for the Blue Devils’ dominance in the past 35 years, including five national championships. But he was also there when Krzyzewski’s teams struggled during his first
three years, compiling a 38-47 record. One night in January 1983 after a home loss, a conversation between the two men became what Harris called the defining moment in their relationship, adding that Krzyzewski has since agreed. It came at a time when there was talk that Krzyzewski might be on the hot seat and that his teams would have won more if they played more zone defense. “He said, ‘Yeah, we might have won one or two more games. I’m not coaching to have a winning record for a season or two. I’m building a program,’” Harris said. “Then he stopped and said, ‘If they would just give
Right place at the right time A year later, Duke repeated as national champions. On the Blue Devils’ way to the title, Christian Laettner hit his famous buzzer-beater against Kentucky in the Elite Eight. Harris’ call of “The shot heard round the world” has since been played repeatedly by CBS and connected to one of his most memorable interviews as a broadcaster. He has interviewed Muhammad Ali and entertainer Red Skelton during his career, but in February 1989, Harris called perhaps his most high-profile broadcast. Three years before his iconic shot against Kentucky, Laettner—then a freshman— missed the front end of a one-and-one during a high-profile regular season game against Arizona at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, N.J.

Duke scored Carolina three goals in the vs. opening 15 minutes No. 2 against both the Knights Duke and the Terriers and will look for a similar start SUNDAY, 7 p.m. Koskinen Stadium against the Razorbacks. “The goals will come. We have some dynamic players up front. We’re older than we’ve been in the past with
juniors and seniors, with good players out there,” Blue Devil head coach Robbie Church said. “We have high expectations for those players, and we have high expectations for all our players—even the ones who came in after [the starters] played very, very well.” After posting a 6-11-1 ledger last season, Arkansas (2-0) is also off to a quick start and earned a pair of one-goal victories against James Madison and Virginia Commonwealth last weekend. The Razorbacks return a veteran back line with three starting senior defenders and senior goalkeeper Cameron Carter, but one freshman has made all the difference up front so far this year.

Trio of opponents visit for season-opening Duke Invitational Delaney King The Chronicle Many sports use preseason scrimmages to simulate a game environment without added pressure to win. UNC-G But when Duke takes the court against vs. its first three opponents this weekend, every game will go in the win or loss column. Duke “We’re not allowed preseason scrimmages outside of within our own FRIDAY, 7:30 p.m. Cameron Indoor Stadium team, which is really kind of rough,” Blue Devil head coach Jolene Nagel said. “Unfortunately, we don’t get those first-match jitters out
earlier than when it counts.” Duke will welcome UNC-Greensboro, Eastern Kentucky and LSU to Cameron Indoor Stadium for the Duke Invitational this weekend. The Blue Devils will take on the Spartans Friday at 7:30 p.m. before 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. dates Eastern with the Colonels and Tigers Saturday Kentucky as they look to get back to the NCAA vs. tournament after missing it last season for the first time in three years. Duke Five new faces will get their first taste of collegiate competition this weekend SATURDAY, 1 p.m. Cameron Indoor Stadium for Nagel’s squad, though she said multiple freshmen are nursing injuries. The three outside hitters and two setters will attempt to bolster a team reeling from the losses of five seniors, including All-
ACC outside hitter Emily Sklar, who ranks fifth in program history with 1,496 career kills. “We’re not as healthy as we’d like to be in the first weekend,” Nagel said. “[Playing three matches in two days] will be a challenge, because our numbers are a little bit low right now, not having LSU everybody full go.” Duke is hoping to bounce back from vs. a disappointing finish last year. Although Duke the Blue Devils were ranked 25th entering the 2015 campaign, they went 17-13 and SATURDAY, 7:30 p.m. Cameron Indoor Stadium 12-8 in the ACC. Nagel has yet to publicly announce the team’s captains, but senior middle blocker Jordan Tucker will likely be counted on to help fill the void left by Duke’s seniors. The Prairie Village, Kan., native started all but one match last year and was second on the team in kills behind Sklar with 323. Tucker finished the season on a high note, notching 10 or more kills in 14 of Duke’s final 19 matches. Sophomore Leah Meyer will also likely need to perform at an all-conference level to get the Blue Devils back to the postseason. The middle blocker registered a team-high 1.05 blocks per set across 30 starts and earned All-ACC freshman team honors in 2015. See VOLLEYBALL on Page 6

HARRIS from page 1 Richard Nixon—a Duke Law School alumnus—asked if he could go in and talk to Laettner. Harris said Krzyzewski was still addressing the team, but asked if he could interview Nixon while they waited, and Nixon obliged. Although Harris stayed outside when Nixon later entered the locker room, he said Laettner later explained what happened when Harris interviewed Laettner for his autobiography, “How Sweet It Is.” “[Nixon] patted him on the knee and said, ‘Son, I’ve missed a few in my lifetime as well. Just shake it off. I’m going to make a prediction. You’re going to make shots before you leave our university that will win some big ball games,” Harris said. The following year, back in the Meadowlands, Laettner hit a buzzer-beater against Connecticut to send Duke to the Final Four. Two years later, he made the shot against Kentucky. The player who made the pass to set up Laettner’s famous bucket, Grant Hill, said earlier this week that Harris has been a friend since the forward stepped on campus as a 17-year old in 1990. “Forget about the calls. It’s the friendship, it’s the warmth, it’s the enthusiasm, the love of Duke, the love of people at Duke and the love of life,” Hill said Monday at a charity event for Els for Autism. “He’s been a great ambassador for this school. I put him up there with Coach K and some of the other iconic figures at this school.” Deja vu Harris has worked with nine head

football coaches compared to only two men’s basketball head coaches, yet he has created a strong bond with Cutcliffe, the man behind the recent transformation in Duke’s football program. In 2010, Cutcliffe’s third year with the Blue Devils, Harris had a conversation with the former Mississippi head coach that gave the commentator confidence that Duke football was on the right track. “I said, ‘How’s the building process coming, Coach?’ He said, ‘Well, we’ve got a ways to go, but we’re building. We’ve got to do it our way. We can’t do it like some other schools. It’s got to be our way because we’ve got a unique school,’” Harris said. “I said, ‘You’re exactly right. Several years back, I had another coach tell me something similar to that. It worked out pretty good for him.’ He said, ‘Who was it?’ I said, ‘The guy over there on the other side of Cameron on that top floor.’” After Harris announced his retirement, Cutcliffe complimented his legendary broadcasting career but added that, “I am most proud to call him my friend,” a sentiment echoed by others who have worked with Harris. ‘Nobody loves Duke more’ As he approaches the age of 75, Harris is ready to take a step back from the weekly commitment of being Duke’s play-by-play man. However, given his passion for the University, he’ll certainly still be engaging with the Blue Devils for years to come. Harris has also been mentoring younger broadcasters for several years, including when he helped former Blue Devil and current ESPN analyst Jay Bilas

get his start in broadcasting. “They don’t make them better than Bob Harris,” Bilas said at the Ernie Els Foundation event Monday. “Nobody loves Duke more than Bob does, and nobody has loved their job more.” Starting next weekend when the Blue Devils open the season against N.C. Central Sept. 3, Duke fans can enjoy one more year with Harris calling the team’s games. And if he gets a little animated, it’s probably because, after 50 years in the business, he’s still just as excited as he was on day one. “Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure that it has been real,” Harris said. “All I can say is, ‘How sweet it is!’”
FIELD HOCKEY from page 2 state training with some of the country’s best players to improve her individual skills. Now she hopes to translate those skills to a leadership role on the field. “I like to think I’m an organizer,” Morris said. “Being here for a long time, I know our press very well, and I know what we do, so I think that won’t change much, but depending on other stuff, the season will tell.” A 26-point scorer last year, Morris should get plenty of feeds from junior forward Ashley Kristen, who led the team in assists last season. Morris will also try to work with freshmen Margaux Paolino and Jillian Wolgemuth—who each scored during the preseason—to keep opposing defenses off balance. “Her experience and hockey knowledge is very good,” Bustin said. “For
her to be able to keep her composure and to keep her pace of the game high and to keep her moving the ball—that’s when she’s most dangerous.” The Tribe enters 2016 without two of its top four scorers from last season but added seven new freshmen in the offseason. William and Mary comes to Durham hoping to avenge last season’s 6-2 loss to the Blue Devils. “They’re always a hardworking team,” Bustin said. “It’s going to be a great challenge for us to keep that up and hopefully get the momentum in our favor.” After its Friday opener, Duke will turn to welcome the Flames as they travel from a road opener at No. 19 James Madison. Liberty had a dominant offense last season, scoring 4.4 goals per game. The Flames may have lost some offensive momentum with the graduations of Natalie Barr and Ashlee Krulock, who both had 14 goals last season, but Barr’s younger twin sisters each managed eight apiece and will look to increase that production as seniors in 2016. For the Blue Devils, an efficient opponent spelled trouble in the scrimmage against the Tar Heels, who were able to convert 3-of-11 penalty corners into goals. Duke will need to avoid more mistakes in the defensive shooting circle should the Flames look to get their high-powered offense going again Sunday. “We need to make sure that we clean up things on both circles,” Bustin said. “Cleaning it up so we’re not giving our opponents opportunities that we create— make them earn them.” Sameer Pandhare contributed reporting.

W. SOCCER from page 1 making her presence felt on the field, notching her first career goal less than 11 minutes into her first game against the Dukes. Doyle—a four-star recruit from Lewisville, Texas—found the back of the net two more times during the weekend, totaling a teamhigh six points in Arkansas’ two victories. Both Church and senior captain Christina Gibbons noted they expect the Razorbacks to play a straightforward, physical game, which should serve as a good barometer for some of the ACC foes the Blue Devils will face as the season progresses. “[Arkansas is] a very direct team. They’re physical, they play hard, they’re bringing in extra stands for this game. This is a big game,” Church said. “We’ve taken our program to that level, where everybody—if they beat us, it’s a quality win for them. If we beat them, it’s a quality win for us, because they’re off to a good start, a 2-0 start.” Duke (2-0) left for Fayetteville Wednesday afternoon, providing an opportunity for the team to bond away from campus while preparing for Friday’s showdown. For the Blue Devil freshmen—who accounted for three goals last weekend—this will be their first trip away from campus after spending weeks in Durham for preseason training. Playing in a challenging environment against an SEC opponent will serve as a stress test for this Duke squad, giving Church an opportunity to see how different player combinations respond. “It’s important to go on these away weekends and figure out how the team plays together and plays against different kinds of opponents,” Gibbons said. “You see so many of everything
in the ACC, it’s good to be tested early. Even if they’re not quite the caliber that some ACC teams are, it’s good to see how we react to certain situations and stuff, so it’ll be good for our team to go away for the weekend, spend some time together, and play another game.” After Friday’s battle, the Blue Devils will return to Durham for their first home game of the season against the Chanticleers. Coastal Carolina finished 12-7-1 last season and is off to a 1-0-1 start this year after collecting a 4-0 victory against Wofford. Duke may have some reinforcements on the way for Sunday’s contest. Church said Rebecca Quinn—a senior who collected a bronze medal with the Canadian team—is scheduled to drive back to Durham Friday, but he was unsure when the defender and midfielder will get back in the lineup. “She’s going to be here this weekend, and we’ll see how she feels,” Church said. “She played a lot of minutes early [in the Olympics], and not as many minutes later, so we’ll just see how she feels and what she’s doing.”
M. SOCCER from page 2 to equalize, but Kerr’s squad took a number of positives from that matchup as well as their 0-0 draw against No. 10 Georgetown three days prior. “The biggest thing is that we keep moving forward, keep improving on the things we need to,” Manley said. “To have a shutout against Georgetown was a really big thing for us, because defensively, that’s been one of our big focuses during the preseason. We’ve continued to work on pressing defensively as a team, making sure everybody’s on the same page.” Communication has been key to Duke’s early

success—and much of that credit goes to Moewes. Although the Dortmund, Germany, native and Binghamton transfer made just two saves against Clemson, one was a big-time stop just 68 seconds into the second half that preserved the Blue Devil 2-1 lead for most of the period. The Blue Devils, who finished 10-7-2 overall last season, will open the season against the reigning West Coast Conference regular season champion Toreros. Like Duke, San Diego has holes in its lineup, and is trying to replace its top three scorers from last season. Sunday’s opponent—UNC Asheville—had the second-worst scoring offense in the Big South Conference and has to fill a void left by former goalkeeper Zak Davis, who led the conference in saves per game. Last season, Duke allowed 1.58 goals per game—the most of any team in the ACC— and Blue Devil goalkeepers ranked second-tolast in saves per game with only 2.63. This year, Duke hopes it can rely on a more experienced defensive unit featuring Moewes and an experienced back line. “We have some experience back there,” Kerr said. “Max Moser is a very experienced player—he’s started on his U19 national team for Austria and also played in a professional league before he got here as an amateur. He’s very experienced in the back.” Moser is one of three freshmen who started in each of the Blue Devils’ exhibition matchups last week, along with fellow defender C.C. Uche and midfielder Suniel Veerakone. Kerr also brought forward Colby Agu and midfielder Brandon Williamson off the bench in both games, with the duo and Veerakone potentially providing an offensive boost for Duke with forward Brody Huitema and midfielder Brian White battling injuries in the preseason.
The Chronicle “It’s exciting to have five guys that are going to really help us out right away this year,” Kerr said.
VOLLEYBALL from page 4 “Leah’s really developed herself in the past year with her strength and conditioning,” Nagel said. “[She] gained a whole lot of confidence in the process, so she’ll be an important piece to the puzzle for sure.” In its first game Friday, Duke will take on a UNC-Greensboro squad that has not defeated the Blue Devils since 1974. This year’s team was picked to finish fourth in the Southern Conference coming off a third-place finish with a 22-11 record last year. The Blue Devils will likely look to control play again Saturday against Eastern Kentucky, which has no seniors and seven freshmen on its 2016 roster. Duke’s final match of the weekend will be a Saturday night matchup against LSU, a team it hasn’t faced since 1995. The Tigers had a disappointing end to their 2015 campaign, losing their last nine games to finish 9-20 last season, but return junior Gina Tillis, who led last year’s team with 3.6 kills per set. “We don’t know a lot about our opponents, because nobody’s competed yet or anything, so there’s not a whole lot of scouting that can be done,” Nagel said. “Our focus is on our team and how we step out on the court to compete this weekend.” After the full weekend of competition, the Blue Devils will ramp up competition Sept. 1 match against No. 19 North Carolina.
