The Carr Building on East Campus might look like the other Georgian-style red brick buildings around it, but there’s much more to the edifice than what meets the eye. Julian Carr, for whom the building was named in 1930, was a “virulent white supremacist” and former Confederate soldier who served on the Board of Trustees at Trinity College, which became Duke University when it merged with the Woman’s College in 1924. In 1913, the tobacco magnate spoke at the dedication of Silent Sam, the statue of a Confederate soldier that was toppled Aug. 20 at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He didn’t mince words. Carr boasted about “horsewhipp[ing] a negro wench until her skirts hung in shreds” because she “publicly insulted and maligned a Southern lady.” “I...then rushed for protection to these University buildings where was stationed a garrison of 100 Federal soldiers,” Carr continued. “I performed the pleasing duty in the immediate presence of the entire garrison, and for thirty nights afterwards slept with a double-barrel shot gun under my head.” Although he endorsed the Klu Klux Klan’s violent tactics and argued that black people should not be able to vote, Carr was also crucial in the development of what is now Duke’s East Campus. Carr donated Blackwell Park to Trinity College, which enabled it to move to Durham. The History Department has filed a request that Carr’s name be scrubbed from the Carr Building, where the department is housed, history department chair Dr. John Martin told The Chronicle. The department has proposed the building be named the Gavins Building in honor of Dr. Raymond Gavins, the first African American on Duke’s history faculty. Gavins died in 2016. “The department believes that the proposed change, which we have thoughtfully considered, is in keeping with the highest See CARR on Page 13

Editor’s Note: At your fingertips By Bre Bradham Editor-In-Chief

The adage “spread like wildfire” is true for news, now more than ever. In the split second it takes to send a tweet, a fact is out there. Only a few minutes after an event, breaking news stories appear online. And it spreads, fast. When something happens, people want to know about it—fast. That’s why The Chronicle is adapting to meet our readers—students, faculty, alumni, staff and the broader Duke community—when and where they want us: online. As an institution entering its 114th volume, we’re pushing ourselves to be more digitally focused and engaged with you across a variety of platforms. We break news on our website as it happens, and our Twitter and Facebook pages provide outlets to engage with our content and other readers. We’re continuing to grow our presence on Instagram as well. Interactives and audience engagement tools are areas we’re continuing to push forward. As we announced earlier this month, The Chronicle will be in print two days per week this year, on Mondays and Wednesdays. The decision to reduce our print frequency by one day was made through discussions among student staff and the Duke Student Publishing

Company board of directors throughout the last school year. The DSPC is the independent, nonprofit organization that has published The Chronicle since 1993, and its board voted to make the change in June. The choice is a strategic one. Our student staff is passionate about and proud of the paper we produce, but our primary goal is to deliver news to the best of our abilities. This change allows us to align our efforts towards the area we have the most room to grow. We plan to seize this opportunity to expand our video team, improve our digital strategy and find new and creative ways to engage with our readers online and in-person. The Chronicle will continue to produce the same amount of content and maintain the same standards in the coming year. We’ve been an institution at Duke since 1905 when The Trinity Chronicle was born, and we’re not going anywhere. So we invite you to engage with us, and through that with the community you are a part of here. Send us tips, read our stories or join our staff. We will be in print in newsstands in the Brodhead Center, your East Campus dorm and in the halls of academic buildings twice per week this year. But we’ll also be at your fingertips—in your Twitter feed, on our website and on The Chronicle app—daily.

Duke faces second lawsuit in two years related to retirement plan By Jake Satisky University News Editor

Two years after Duke was first sued for mismanaging its employee retirement plan, another lawsuit has been filed alleging more mishandling of the fund. The plaintiffs argue that Duke took revenue from its 403(b) plan and used it to pay employee salaries and benefits, a practice known as “self-dealing,” according to a press release. Self-dealing is prohibited under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The class action suit—Kathi Lucas, et al., v. Duke University—was filed Aug. 20 by St. Louis-based law firm Schlichter Bogard & Denton. Two years ago, the same firm accused Duke of not curtailing the excessive fees and imprudent investing in its retirement plan. Lawyers found documents they allege demonstrate self-dealing. “What we discovered in the documents is that some of the money was actually used to pay Duke itself for salary and fringe benefits of its human resource people,” said Jerome Schlichter, the lead attorney in the case. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations at Duke, declined to comment on the lawsuit. Schlichter said that the self-dealing money came from expenses employees and retirees paid for recordkeeping and managing their portfolios. Duke then took some of those expenses, which already were “excessive” in his opinion, and used them for its own benefits, according to the lawyer. The University’s Faculty and Staff Retirement Plan includes more than 37,000 Duke employees. Unlike 401(k) retirement plans, which are used by for-profit companies, 403(b) plans are designed for nonprofits, such as universities or religious organizations. As a result of their special status, 403(b) plans are supposed to have lower fees and fewer administrative hurdles. Schlichter said the money in a 403(b) plan is the property of its employees. “From professors to janitors to cooks, it’s their money,” he said. He said that he has not seen this kind of self-dealing at any

of the other universities he has sued. There has not been a trial date set for either lawsuit, but Schlichter predicted they would occur next year. The court will decide if the two cases—one for excessive fees, too many options and poor investments and the other for self-dealing—are tried together or separately. Schlichter said he tried to attach the selfdealing charge to the original lawsuit, but Duke refused. “We expect to obtain full compensation for the losses that the employees and retirees have sustained and to reform the plan for the future to make sure the plan is run properly going forward,” he said. Events leading up to latest lawsuit In August 2016, Schlichter Bogard & Denton filed a classaction lawsuit against Duke alleging that the University’s retirement plan forced participants to pay excessive administrative and recordkeeping fees. The complaint—David Clark, et al., v. Duke University, et al.—argued that Duke failed to properly uphold its fiduciary duties by not providing the best service it reasonably could. “Duke provides a range of options that give employees flexibility in designing retirement plans to meet their individual needs,” Schoenfeld wrote in August 2016. “These investments are reviewed and carefully managed in accord with federal law to provide low costs and good outcomes for our employees.” Duke attempted to have the suit dismissed in May 2017 and has previously argued that the plaintiffs did not invest in the funds being disputed and that the case has no standing, but Judge Catherine Eagles of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina did not dismiss it. This past March, the University announced plans to revamp its retirement plan. It added Fidelity as the primary plan provider and dropped Vanguard and VALIC in an effort to consolidate the number of options and reduce fees—the original cause of the complaint. Duke is not the only university under legal scrutiny for mismanaging its 403(b) retirement plan. Within a span of weeks in August 2016, Schlichter and his firm filed mutliple other suits against prestigious universities including Yale University, Vanderbilt University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Chronicle File Photo The University is facing a second lawsuit related to its employee retirement plan.

“Apparently some of [these institutions] thought they weren’t governed by the law that makes them fiduciaries and makes them liable for such fees and that history has been there for many universities for many years,” Schlichter said, adding that his firm was the first to bring a lawsuit against a university for mishandling its retirement plan. His suit against University of Pennsylvania was dismissed in September 2017, and a judge ruled in favor of New York University in July 2018. Schlichter said he was planning to appeal those decisions. The rest of the cases, including Duke’s, are still pending trial. “We intend to pursue this case, as with all cases that we handle, to it’s conclusion on behalf of the employees and retirees to obtain full compensation for them, no matter how long it takes and no matter what resources are needed,” Schlichter said.

Globally, 1.1 billion people around the world lack basic electricity, and billions more lack access to the reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy systems that form the backbone of job creation and broader economic growth.

Paula McClain, dean of Graduate School, elected president of top political science professional association By Bre Bradham Editor-In-Chief

Dr. Paula D. McClain will serve as president-elect of the American Political Science Association (APSA) for a year in 2018-2019 before taking the role of president. McClain currently serves as the dean of the Duke Graduate School and vice provost for graduate education, and is a professor of political science and public policy. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. The Chronicle: To begin, what does it mean to you as an academic to be elected to head up your field’s professional organization? Paula McClain: It is something I could not have imagined,

because it does really represent the supreme recognition by the colleagues in your field and your standing as a scholar. Your contributions to the discipline and everything you’ve done in your career gets wrapped up in becoming president of our 115year old professional association. It’s just very humbling and thrilling at the same time. TC: You’re the fourth Duke professor to hold the position in that 115-year history. What does that mean to you? PM: It’s amazing, because the first one was Taylor Cole in 1958 to 1959, then the next one was Robert Keohane in 1999 to 2000. Then John Aldrich was 2013 to 2014. I think the fact that John and I are so close to each other in terms of time indicates where Duke Political Science stands relative to the

broader discipline—that the department and scholars in that department have standing. TC: What are your goals for the role? PM: There are a couple of things. For me, I bring to the APSA my longstanding commitment to diversifying the discipline. For example, I’m in the area of race, ethnicity and politics, and I have been part of a group of scholars who have pushed that particular subfield into the main stream of the discipline. That area of research reveals much about the historical and current environment of politics of the United States. With my commitment to diversifying the discipline, I have directed the APSA’s program, the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute, for the last 20 years. Ralph Bunche was the first Black American to get a Ph.D. in political science in 1934 from Harvard. He was the first Black president of the American Political Science Association in 1955, which was after he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950. I feel that I have an intellectual connection to Bunche because I was taught by professors that were taught by Bunche. I feel that as political scientists we have to be catholic in our methodological approaches, meaning that I don’t think the discipline needs to be privileging one methodological approach over another. When we do that, we devalue scholars’ methods that may be different from what people view as a primary method of the discipline, and I just think that approach isn’t healthy, and it doesn’t lead to a vibrancy in the field of political science. So scholars who do qualitative research, field research, quantitative research and form models all have a place in the field of political science. TC: Your book, “Can We All Get Along,” just published its seventh edition in 2017, and was updated to include material about the Dakota Pipeline Access protest movement and President Barack Obama’s second term. If you were to update it again, what topics and events that have arisen between then and now do you think would be most relevant to that work? PM: There will be an 8th edition, because the book really still has filled a void in the political science discipline and so was actually quite popular. One of the things I think will be in the eighth edition is the continued failings of race. We see this in the Trump administration when all those people claimed when President Obama was elected that the United States had moved to a post-racial society; clearly it wasn’t true at that point and clearly it is not true now. What happens is that we continue to kind of pick at the scab and the wounds of racism, not just from the beginning of the United States but from colonial times. I think it’s more heightened now than we have seen it in a good long time, like Nixon’s Southern Strategy and another period. It’s pretty salient at this point in time. TC: This point in history is considered to be a very See MCCLAIN on Page 13

‘Fail doing something that matters to you’ Wendy Davis tells first-years to learn from others’ experiences By Isabelle Doan News Editor

Former Texas State Senator Wendy Davis has known failure, and Saturday evening she urged the Class of 2022 to embrace failure as well. Davis, a Harvard-educated lawyer and politician, spoke to first-years in the Chapel as the closing speaker for orientation week. Although the event was scheduled to run from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the speech lasted for less than half an hour. Despite the length of her remarks, Davis had a lot to say about failure and perspective. “The losses that I’ve endured have taught me that I am more powerful than the limitation of failed efforts,” she said. “So my advice to you is when you fail, fail big.” Davis shared with first-years the obstacles that she has overcome in her life. She wanted to be the first person in her family to attend and graduate college. However, at 18 years old, Davis found out that she was pregnant. Feeling obligated to do so, she married the baby’s father and had her daughter. She worked two jobs and divorced not long thereafter. “Those years of living on my own and trying to dig out of the well of poverty were the toughest I’ve ever known,” Davis said. She eventually was able to go to community college and gain a scholarship to a four-year university. However, the scholarship was not the only thing that helped her out of poverty, she explained. “Yes, affordable education made my climb possible,” she said. “But I know in my heart too that access to affordable reproductive health

care was needed so that I could avoid a second unplanned pregnancy at a time when when my trajectory was very tenuous.” Her trajectory led her from community college to Texas Christian University to Harvard Law School and, eventually, the Texas State Senate. There, she made headlines for her fight against abortion regulations, a stance driven partially by personal experience. Davis recalled her 13-hour filibuster on the Texas Senate floor of a bill restricting what she called “safe, legal access to abortion care.” She explained that her filibuster was not a spur-ofthe-moment decision. “I didn’t decide, ‘Hey, it’ll be a great idea to be fitted for a catheter so that I can stand for thirteen hours without food, water or a bathroom break. That sounds cool,’” she said. “No, instead it was my values that motivated this decision to do that.” Davis explained that when she stood before the Texas Senate during that filibuster, she was standing for herself—for the day she decided to terminate a much-wanted pregnancy because of a fatal fetal abnormality—but also for thousands of others who shared their stories with her. She urged first-years to listen to others’ stories as well, and to learn from the experiences of those around them. Students may be different from others in their community, Davis noted, but there is something poignant about fighting on behalf of someone despite this distinction. She explained that this is true of many groups, such as white people who march in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement or men standing

beside women fighting against assaults on reproductive autonomy. “Fail doing something that matters to you deep in your gut,” Davis said. “Either because of your own personal experiences or because you joined a community with someone whose experiences now matter to you as much as your own.” She said that students may have already fought alongside others, or may have the chance to fight in solidarity with dissimilar people right now, given recent racially charged events. “Perhaps you have already done something

similar to that. Perhaps you’re destined to do so in the future, even right now, given the racial slur recently scribbled on the side of the black student center here,” she said. But overall, Davis stressed that students will grow through learning about the different lived experiences of others. “If you allow your mind and heart to be open to learning from those differing perspectives, you will leave here four years from now—or your parents hope you’ll leave here four years See DAVIS on Page 13

A vestige of times gone by: Last Campus Drive home used as a residence torn down By Bre Bradham Editor-In-Chief

Bre Bradham | Contributing Photographer Pictured in Fall 2017, House 12 was used as a residence until that July.

With each swoop of an excavator, an old brick home tumbled down Thursday afternoon. The house, which butted up against Campus Drive, had begun to stick out through the years as the area behind it became the Nasher Art Museum and the space across the street turned into the Rubenstein Arts Center, which officially opened earlier this year. It was the final home to be occupied by a resident when its last occupant died in July 2017. In a strategy that had been tried before with houses when the University needed to clear room to build the Rubenstein Arts Center, 2021 Campus Drive was put

up for sale at an astonishing price—$1. The catch with the unbelievably good price tag was that the buyer would have to pay to have it moved, although Duke would contribute $10,000 to the cost, according to a Duke Today article on the offering. “We tried to find someone interested in moving it, but couldn’t,” Executive Vice President Tallman Trask wrote in an email, adding that the space will become a landscaped garden area. The home was a bit too intrusive for its neighbors’ comfort. Its garage was replaced years ago when the original one was removed to make room for the Nasher, Trask told The Chronicle in 2017. The house was built in the early 1930s as the University created a series of homes along the road to provide housing for faculty and administrators. The last resident of the home, Eleanore Jantz, died in July 2017 at the age of 104. She was the last in the 80-plus-year history of occupants living in the homes along the road. Jantz came to Duke when her husband Harold Jantz, an assistant professor of German at Antioch College and a leading Goethe scholar, took a position at the University. They moved into the home in 1978, and she lived there alone after his death in 1987. Now, the homes along Campus Drive have been either removed—like the one at 2021 Campus Drive—or reimagined as office space. The Graduate School’s offices are based out of a large home closer to Chapel Drive, and the Admissions Office inhabits one near the Graduate School. Tom Hadzor, associate university librarian for development and a friend of Eleanore Jantz, wrote in an email Friday that he had not realized the house was coming down this week. “I drove Campus Drive this morning and was surprised to see the house razed,” he wrote. “I knew that was the plan. I just didn’t know the timing.” Hadzor noted the family’s contributions to the Duke Libraries, including Harold Jantz’s donation of his 10,000work collection that is now known as the Jantz collection. “Dr. Elli Jantz was a psychologist and great donor during her lifetime and through her estate. A legacy she leaves is in the form of two library endowments,” Hadzor wrote. “One endowed fund will support the maintenance and growth of the Jantz Collection and the other will provide for the support of graduate student interns in the Rubenstein Library. Elli took pride in the major support she was providing for the Libraries. And I am grateful for the friendship we developed during our conversations about philanthropy and about Duke.” The home, known as House 12, had been occupied by a two law school deans, an assistant dean for first-years and a Duke Chapel pastor before the Jantzes took up residence there. “There are interesting plans to connect the Nasher Museum and Rubenstein Arts Center,” Hadzor wrote. “The University history of this home is important to remember, though.”

But that is one hundred percent what happened to me, all thanks to the German Department, and there are no adequate words in any language to express my astonishment and gratitude.” “My time with the German department has been filled with laughter and many unforgettable memories such as Duke in Berlin…and lots of ‘99 Luftballoons’ sing-a-longs. The professors have all been wonderful in shaping my Duke experience and I have made many lasting friendships with my fellow German classmates.“

New shuttle, parking app among transportation changes By Nathan Luzum Senior Editor

Want a personal bus to take you directly from your dorm to class? That’s not among the transportation changes for this school year, but there are other adjustments afoot with Duke parking and transportation. The on-campus bus routes remain the same as in the 2017-18 academic year, but the University launched a downtown pilot shuttle in July to connect Duke’s campus to downtown Durham. A number of roads and parking areas also underwent repairs, and visitors to the University may now park in certain lots using the PayByPhone app. “We introduced the downtown shuttle pilot during the summer so we could get a better idea of how the service and stops would work before the fall semester began,” wrote Carl DePinto, director of parking and transportation services, in an email to The Chronicle. The shuttle service runs on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is open to faculty, students and staff with a valid DukeCard, DePinto wrote. The two Carolina Livery buses—which offer complimentary Wi-Fi—make stops near Research Drive, Duke Hospital and the Chesterfield Building, according to the Duke Parking website. He added that the bus route had been “slightly” modified since the shuttle’s first trip in July and that the buses will be visible on the TransLoc Rider app. DePinto wrote that the shuttles will service the more than 4,000 employees working downtown in addition to students taking classes in the Chesterfield Building. The building’s renovation was completed in December 2017, with two biomedical engineering labs held there during the Spring 2018 semester. The public, fare-free Bull City Connector runs along Main Street to connect Duke and Durham. Duke cut its contribution to the shuttle’s funding in half for 2017 and stopped it entirely in 2018. The summer also offered time to repair some of Duke’s

parking infrastructure, DePinto added. “We resurfaced a number of parking lots and improved numerous roadways during the summer, including the Graduate Center lot, the H lot and a portion of Science Drive,” he wrote. “We also made road improvements to areas such as the East Campus bus loop and applied asphalt patches to numerous areas in the Blue Zone.”

An app called PayByPhone is a new way to pay for parking in 12 non-gated visitor parking lots. DePinto wrote that the Bryan Center, Nasher Museum and Duke Gardens lots are all open for drivers looking to pay via the new app. Furthermore, he wrote that Duke’s bus fleet has added new buses and that bus schedules resumed a week earlier this year to accommodate international students arriving on campus.

Gary Bennett, new vice provost for undergraduate education, wants to ensure student experience is ‘transformative’ By Bre Bradham Editor-In-Chief

Gary Bennett will serve as vice provost for undergraduate education at Duke for the upcoming school year. Bennett is the Bishop-MacDermott Family Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience, Global Health, and Medicine. He also directs the Duke Global Digital Health Science Center. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. The Chronicle: How do you feel about your new role? What are you most excited for and concerned about with it? Gary Bennett: I’m absolutely thrilled to be in this position, and I’m most excited to have the opportunity to work really closely with our students to try to ensure that we are delivering

on the promise of creating a transformative undergraduate experience for every student. That’s going to be my mantra. For me, my undergraduate years were absolutely transformative. I started college fully believing that I knew what I wanted to do. I got bitten by a bug that I didn’t see coming and found a passion and learned to cultivate it. Really, those years are wholly responsible for what I’m doing now. I want every student to have an opportunity to have a transformative experience like the one I had. So that’s what I’m most excited about. I don’t really have a lot of concerns. Duke is an absolutely stellar institution. I’m extraordinarily lucky to be able to do this work at Duke. And yet, I don’t really think there is any

limit on our potential. I’m particularly excited about having the opportunity to innovate and create new ways of making Duke even better than it is today. TC: You’ve received awards for your teaching, and that was a skill that was mentioned in the news release about you taking over this role. So what is your philosophy and approach in the classroom, or more generally toward undergraduate education? GB: My philosophy in the classroom is that I really just want my students to learn. I think that is done by me posing provocative questions and introducing material of interest and stimulating discussion, then largely getting out of the way. When I’m teaching, I want to be a participant in the learning. I don’t feel like I’m a conduit of the course material. I really want to struggle with my students to understand the material I’m trying to introduce. Ultimately, what’s most important for me is that I want every student to have that, at least one and hopefully many more, moment where you feel fully consumed in the material you are learning and you just want to learn more. I really strive to create those moments in the classroom. And yet, I also realize that for most of our students the classroom is only a small piece of the opportunities they have to learn. Most of the learning in college happens outside the classroom. When I think about my college experience, I certainly remember debates I had out on the quad and discussions I had in my dorm room and the really deep conversations we had in my co-curricular activities. In this role, I really want to try to bring students’ classroom experiences in closer proximity to things they are doing outside the classroom. That’s going to be a big part of our work for years to come. TC: On the subject of bridging outside the classroom with inside the classroom, Duke is a research university with a liberal arts college. What does that mean for undergraduate education and what goals do you have related to it? GB: Students are always learning about information that is current and innovative and most relevant. And yet, I think the biggest opportunity for our students, considering that Duke is a research university, is to get involved with faculty in their research. For me, getting involved in research as an undergraduate completely changed the course of my life. I think having the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member in their research can teach you a lot. It can help you develop relationships with faculty members, which I just think are critical to the undergraduate experience. It can teach you to look at information in new ways and go really See BENNETT on Page 15

PM: It makes it very challenging, because it is not just the political environment externally, but in any professional organization the #MeToo movement is something that is part of the discipline. My presidential year will be the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. In the area of women in politics, that becomes an important touchstone. But there are just a lot of issues in society that you find reflected in professional associations. There is no polyana on my part that this is going to be just an honorific kind of thing.

Most of my career, I’ve had to balance a number of things. For me, I’ve been able to kind of compartmentalize at certain points during the day or during a particular period. I am fortunate that I have had a very supportive spouse so that it is like a partnership and not everything with our daughters or with our grandsons is my responsibility. It’s a joint responsibility. This will be the first time I’ve had to balance my administrative role as Dean of the Graduate School with being president of my professional organization, but I am up to the challenge and I am thrilled by the opportunity to lead my discipline and to continue to lead the Graduate School. So I’ll compartmentalize, like I have all along in my career.

She put so much emotion into the speech that she gave, and was so open with us about what she thought and her political views,” Lane said. “She also did it in a way that was really respectful and wasn’t dismissive of other people, which was really nice.”

From my experience in my lab, I just love Duke is constantly getting better. Every alum the different lenses students bring to some of that I talk to says ‘There is no way I could have gotten into Duke today. These kids are way more the questions we study.

One of the things that I bring as an alumnus of a small liberal arts school is just a passion for what happens when classes are small and you’re close to your professors and you just feel like part of the intellectual life of the University.

I’ve been playing around on the internet since I was probably seven or eight. I feel really comfortable using social media, and I hope to engage with students on whatever service they prefer. My door is and will remain open to our students at all times. I have formal office hours, but I encourage people to just drop by. I hope that you will see me at your events, see me on campus. I hope you will give me a high-five, then stop and tell me how things are going. I am accessible and I really want students to take advantage of that as much as possible.

CARR FROM PAGE 1 educational ideals and mission of the University,” Martin wrote in an email to The Chronicle. Official proposals to amend the name need to be approved by the Board of Trustees. The process for considering renaming buildings came out of the report from the Commission on Memory and History that Price commissioned last year. The commission recommended taking multiple factors into account when considering the change— including engaging with history rather than erasing it, “past intent and present effect” of representation and that the process should be thoughtful and deliberate. Anyone in the Duke community can submit a proposal to have a building name changed. The proposals are submitted to the Secretary of the Board of Trustees and an initial assessment of its merits will be made. The president will then convene an ad-hoc committee to consider the proposal, and the president can accept, reject or modify the committee’s recommendation before taking it to the Board of Trustees. Schoenfeld wrote that the change to the Carr building name is now being reviewed according to those procedures. Because Carr was instrumental in securing East Campus for the University, Academic Council Chair Don Taylor thinks that the decision-making process regarding a potential building rename would be more “problematic” than it was with East Residence Hall, formerly dubbed Aycock Hall for ex-North Carolina governor Charles Aycock. Aycock, whose name Duke scrubbed in 2014 because the University said he was “inextricably associated with the disenfranchisement of black voters,” had no ties with Duke. “It is a reasonable assertion to say that Duke wouldn’t exist were it not for the generosity of

Julian Carr. It is also true that he was a virulent white supremacist,” Taylor wrote in an email to the Chronicle. “Both of these things are true about Mr. Carr, and I think Duke needs to tell this story explicitly via a full, academically rigorous contextualization of Julian Carr, and then we all need to wrestle with what it means for us today.” Student representatives had called for Aycock Hall to be renamed for several years before former President Richard Brodhead announced the change in 2014. Carr’s name has been removed from buildings outside of Duke—in August 2017, the Durham Public Schools board removed Carr’s name from the Durham School of the Arts. Robin Kirk, faculty co-chair of the Duke Human Rights Center, led an April Bass Connections report calling for the Carr Building to have its name changed as well. The 100-page report, titled “Activating History for Justice at Duke,” analyzed 327 sites on Duke’s campus in an attempt to educate the community regarding the stories Duke has memorialized. Although she wants Carr’s name off the building, Kirk argued that the history should still be acknowledged in some way. The report recommended that Duke preserve the record of the Carr Building and Aycock Hall’s names in an educational exhibit in the buildings and “as part of a larger, permanent exhibit.” “Slavery and white supremacy are part of our lived world, so to ignore them is to ignore an important part of why the University is shaped the way it is and how it developed. It’s not by acknowledging these histories we bring them to light—they’re there,” Kirk told The Chronicle. “By acknowledging them, we recognize that and we recognize how those forces still continue to shape our lived reality. That’s especially true for students of color, women or LGBT folks.” Kirk said that Taylor’s point about Carr

Ju Hyun Jeon | News Photography Editor The History Department, which is housed in the Carr Building on East Campus, has filed a request to have the building renamed.

being crucial in Duke’s development is valid, but countered that Carr’s name is still not worthy of recognition on the building. “What does he have to do with history? He was a businessman and donor, but that doesn’t mean the only way to recognize his contribution is through naming the history building for him, especially when that is such a sensitive subject given his support for white supremacy,” Kirk said. “There may be other ways to recognize Julian Carr that aren’t so prominent.” Others that have pushed for the Carr Building to be renamed include senior Kristina Smith, president of Duke Student Government, and William Chafe, Alice Mary Baldwin professor emeritus of history and former history department chair. Smith cited the defacing of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture discovered Sunday as further reason why Duke should rename the Carr Building. A racial epithet covered the word “black” on a foyer wall that read “Mary Lou Williams Center

for Black Culture.” “Now, more than ever, Duke must support its Black students, staff, and faculty by no longer memorializing a former confederate soldier,” Smith wrote in a statement to the Chronicle. “The renaming of the Carr Building would not erase the memory or donations of Julian Carr, but, similar to the renaming of Aycock, would serve as a statement that Duke does not support the confederate legacy and white supremacy.” Chafe said that the history department was not aware of Carr’s past when it moved to the Carr Building from the Allen Building in the early 1990s. “Over time, we’ve discovered how Carr— like Aycock—was not only a racist and a white supremacist, but was also guilty of criminal racist activities,” he said. “We have come to a conclusion that it’s important to address the consequences of identifying with this sort of history. We no longer have Aycock Hall and we need to change the Carr Building.”

is as inevitable on Duke’s campus as the men’s basketball team making the NCAA tournament tell you? Oh, and by the way, how do you think our star recruits feel on a campus that has decided their labor is more important than their identities? If I were them, I wouldn’t leave Cameron Indoor, probably the only place on campus left undesecrated by unchecked hate. Now, Duke administration: what act will be sufficiently black and white for you to take decisive action? Personally, I have tired of task forces, open forums, discussions, and statements—these being the Duke equivalent of thoughts and prayers. Duke’s policy towards hate and discrimination has been all research and no development. There is no sign of a potential product anywhere. Why? Dr. Moneta: you haven’t failed to decry each and every one of Donald Trump’s acts of hate-mongering with impassioned vigor. Why do you not express that same disgust towards the perpetrators of the same behavior on your own campus? Do these acts not hit home and strike a personal chord?

“I would like to think that the Duke student body has grown more and more diverse and worldly and open-minded since [1987], but we know that Stephen Miller was admitted in 2003, and I imagine there will be racists on campus for awhile longer.” —Christopher Pelham, reacting to “Heinous racial epithet”

only defeated acceptance that these incidents will continue to occur. Finally, as much as you would like to blame the “provocateur” for the distrust on campus, something tells me it is not the other students that we distrust. We are not so naive to expect that hate and discrimination will suddenly vanish from the spaces and places we hold dear, as we are not so unreasonable to allow a few bad apples to ruin the bunch. In truth, if the administration were to take a stance of zero tolerance, I assure you the community would stand together, strong and unafraid, confident in Duke’s alleged “commitments to inclusion, tolerance, and respect”. As it stands now, however, this “odious” behavior is considered so unimportant that it lacks consequence. Maybe the inconsequentiality is what fuels its persistence. I’ve graduated and moved a safe distance away, so I’m asking for my friends: what will it take to get the administration to own their responsibility to the entire Duke community?

Reflections on summer: Study abroad in Latin America

espite the best attempts of my high school teachers and college professors to emphasize the breadth of experience smushed into the terms “Latinx” and “Latin America,” before I studied abroad I could still only repeat their explanations blindly: “There’s a lot of diversity!” I also knew from a Pew Research report that Latinx is not how many “Latinx people” identify themselves first. Rather, many, especially foreign-born, identify first with their country of origin. Despite knowing that, I still didn’t have a good grasp

“out-group homogeneity” to describe the phenomenon that we perceive our in-groups, the people “like us,” to be far more varied and diverse than out-groups. Because we know our in-groups better, we give them more leeway, more complexity and more richness as people. Can learning more about the diversity in out-groups transform them into in-groups, worthy of the same consideration, agency and respect? While the Latinx community in the United States is undoubtedly different from any countries of origin they may descend from, the contexts of those countries still

While your desire to work towards a “socially just campus” is noble, determination is meaningless without at least a baby step forward. I know you are preparing to enter a new chapter, but ask yourself how you wish for each of the sectors of Duke community to remember you. President Price: We’ve never met, but I can tell you that the use of the pronoun “our” was quite inappropriate. If your “right to live and study” was threatened, I assure you that you would be inspired to take immediate, decisive, condemnatory action to makes it crystal clear that such behavior is intolerable. I know this because, even as an alumna, as a member of Black Duke, I felt threatened and dropped everything to type this response in a flurry of fiery emotions. Furthermore, promising to “acknowledge and challenge” is just an eloquent way of saying you will notice these acts on campus and you will disagree with them. There is nothing in your statement to inspire faith that the administration will take preventative action, there is

of what that diversity looked like or meant. Studying abroad taught me a little. Duke doesn’t make it easy to study abroad in Latin America. There aren’t any semester-long programs led by Duke (called “Duke-In” programs) in Latin America, though there is a popular one in Madrid, Spain. Latin American programs fare better in Summer—there’s Duke-In Brazil, Chile, Cuba and Costa Rica. And yes, there are several Duke-approved programs in Latin America, but a Duke-approved program doesn’t represent university sponsorship or investment. The lack of Duke-administered programs says, “Latin America is not worth studying or learning in enough to have our own program. These people are not worth simply being with.” Despite the relative ease with which Duke students can study abroad in Spain, students learning Spanish to engage with Latinx folks in the United States or in Latin American issues should study abroad in Latin America, not Spain. Even assuming that your Spanish would improve as much in Spain as in Latin America where fewer people jump as readily to use English with Spanishlearners—language is not just a tool that can be divorced from its context. Language is a medium through which people communicate culture, history and themselves. It’s all of that context that textures an otherwise simplistic generalization of the Latinx community and Latin America. Why does understanding that texture and richness of labels matter? Because recognizing diversity in out-groups humanizes them. Psychologists have coined the term

influence the Latinx community here. Different policies and histories around immigration have led to different immigrant trajectories here. For example, in 2010, 57 percent of Cuban-Americans were homeowners as opposed to 24 percent of Dominican-Americans. This range in homeownership rates within the Latinx community is lost if we don’t understand context. Though it’s still possible to recognize this range of experience through other experiences, like coursework or service, I think it’s far more difficult. At the risk of sounding trite, there really only is so much you can learn in a classroom to challenge deeply ingrained societal characterizations. Immersive, experiential learning changes minds. By no means am I now some enlightened guru on all things Argentina or Southern Cone. But I do know a little more about the region than before. I can tell you a little bit about how Paraguay was devastated by its 20th century dictatorships, how Brazil is a massive economic powerhouse and how Uruguay is perceived to be extraordinarily progressive. And I can tell you a little bit more about one particular villa and country town in Greater Buenos Aires that I did a comparative paper on as my independent study project. Now, if I meet someone from the Latin America, more comes to my mind than just “Oh, Spanish!” and a vague blob of the continent. I’m not sure if the same happens for those who return from a semester abroad in Spain. Students, consider studying abroad in Latin America. Duke University, invest more in study abroad programs in Latin America. Experience sticks. Grace Mok is a Trinity senior.

New year, same problems?

elcome back to Duke and happy first day of classes! As Duke officially begins its 94th academic year, the Editorial Board will commence our own editorial cycle by addressing the recent vandalism of the Mary Lou Williams Center. Chiefly, this incident represents an opportunity for us as a new campus community to explore the implications of racially-motivated acts at an institution that continues to struggle with strained race relations. The beginning of the school year was shaping up to be like all others. The parents and siblings of Duke students flooded into East Campus armed with futons and cardboard boxes. First-year students experienced what for many has been their first tastes of freedom: their first lukewarm can of Keystone Light, their first time at a nightclub (also a human sauna), their first time doing laundry. In the spirit of paternal optimism, President Price urged first-year students during convocation to “reject false standards of perfection or high expectations” as newly minted Dukies. As upperclassmen were gearing up to move onto campus, the stage was set for a blissful fall semester. Fittingly, for many first-year and returning students, the optimism of a bright new year at Duke has been shattered somewhat in light of a recent hate crime committed against black students. On Saturday, August 25, 2018, the Chronicle reported that “n*****” had been etched over the word “Black” in “The Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture.” While this incident needs no rehashing, it is important to take note of the repeated instances of racism, discrimination and harassment that have been directed towards black students at Duke and the general culture that has allowed such hate to persist. Over the past few years, Duke students have been subjected to a number of troubling racially-motivated

incidents as well as the administration’s failure to properly respond to such crimes. In April of 2015, barely a week after the present senior class was admitted into Duke, a noose was found hanging outside the Bryan Center. Later that October, a poster advertising the upcoming visit of #BlackLivesMatter founder Patrisse Cullors was defaced with a racial slur, prompting a campus-wide forum. In April of 2016, students staged a sit-in protest at the Allen Building in which they demanded the resignation of Executive Vice President Tallman Trask III who had allegedly hit a contract parking employee with his car and used a racial slur. To close out the 2017-2018 year, a student posted a derogatory snapchat picture mocking African American culture, which

Editorial Board was immediately followed by the vandalization of 300 Swift with the phrase “n***** lover.” Though the aforementioned events were met with student activism, outrage and disappointment, they ultimately represent a systemic race issue that the University still has not properly addressed. Time and time again, students of any given incoming class are congratulated for the hard work and determination that have led them to the Gothic Wonderland. To be fair, this admiration is well deserved. Yet students should also question the value of their accomplishments if they are tacitly permitted to show the worst parts of their character or be the targets of discrimination and harassment on a campus that is supposed to allow growth and celebrate the potential held by each member of its diverse community.

It goes without saying that Duke students should hold themselves to the Community Standard in all circumstances. That primarily academic violations like plagiarism are treated with the most gravity is perhaps telling of Duke’s commitment or lack thereof toward ensuring that it is a community that actively deters racism, rather than simply being non-racist. A standardized policy in the Duke Community Standard on racial harassment would be a step in the right direction by Price’s administration in creating a framework for antiracism on campus. The University of California Berkeley’s statement on Free Speech states that “Some forms of speech are not constitutionally protected and may be grounds for discipline.” This includes, but is not limited to, speech that qualifies as “certain severe or pervasive harassment.” While there may be ambiguity on what is either severe or pervasive, harassment is defined as aggressive pressure or intimidation to which there is little debate given the aforementioned incidents. We acknowledge that no system is perfect and can often fail in pursuing its intended mission. However, there is a clear difference between proactively eliminating a problem and reacting once harm has occurred. While a policy recommendation is a necessary step in preventing future disrespect towards African Americans and other marginalized groups, it is not enough. The root causes of racism, bigotry and the like must be addressed if there is to be any significant progress. But doing so poses a difficult challenge, as if years of social conditioning and upbringing can be eliminated with one quick policy change. What more can be done? As we delve deeper into the academic year, perhaps time will tell if we have truly grown and developed as a campus community.

Older, wiser and still overwhelmed

would like to pose a couple of questions to those members of the Duke “family” who believe the administration is doing enough to address issues of hate and discrimination on campus. Note the quotations, meant to illustrate how loosely a term can be applied as a mere buzzword where it does not belong. The inability of our administrative “parents” to protect and educate the children with which they have been entrusted seems antithetical to my understanding of “family.” Then again, maybe minority students at Duke are the black sheep of this family.

Ann Gehan COLUMNIST Sobering pun entirely intended. Welcome back to campus! Hope you’re feeling ready for that first beautiful view of the chapel, first super late night in Perkins, and first encounters with all of the bright-eyed, confusedlooking first-years who are now on campus. With the start of a new school year comes the traditional deluge of advice, goal setting, and ‘we back’ Snapchat stories, so I figured I’d throw in my two cents. However, the first-years have had enough of people talking to them this week. They’ve already heard how amazing their Duke experience will be and to take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities coming their way, so instead, this one is for the sophomores. I feel totally qualified to give this advice, since I myself am a sophomore (meaning I’ve got about ten days of not being a first-year under my belt) and have now been to O-Week twice, so obviously I know everything. There’s a liberating feeling that comes with being a sophomore during O-Week: not having to fill the few minutes before a presentation or a short bus ride with a stilted attempt to make friends and not worrying if I’ll remember the difference between Soc Psych and Soc Sci on FDOC. I can even spend food points without an overwhelming sense of guilt. While this freedom is something I’ve relished this past week, it’s also

made way for a new sense of trepidation to take its place. Earlier this week, I attended a session with my FAClets with the stated purpose of “building community and respecting diversity on Duke’s campus.” Sitting amongst first-years who were either way too hungover or way too eager to participate in the session, I expected a pretty standard talk about inclusion and the many different types of students who attend Duke. The talk was par for the course until our last activity, an anonymous ‘snowball’ exercise. We all answered a series of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions about our identity (ex. I am a U.S. citizen, I am a first-generation college student, I was raised by a single parent, etc.). We then all received another, anonymous piece of paper from someone else in the group and were asked to step forward when the person we represented had answered ‘yes’ in order to represent the different experiences and identities of individuals in the group. Nothing could have prepared me for when the facilitator read out “I am nervous about being at Duke” and every single person in the circle except for three stepped forward. One of the three ‘No’s was my answer, and I had assumed that all the sophomores would answer ‘No’ as well. After

all, we’ve been Duke students for an entire year. When I wrote ‘No,’ I told myself I was channeling the same confidence as when I inked a ‘Yes’ for “I am confident in my body” and “I feel like I belong at Duke.” But looking at all the people who had stepped forward, I realized that my ‘No’ was more of an attempt to convince myself that I wasn’t nervous than an affirmation of my self-confidence. Heading back to West Campus on an overcrowded bus, I found myself reflecting on the feeling that had been clouding over me ever since returning to campus. I had dismissed it as feeling unsettled by my semi-unpacked dorm room or by lingering uncertainty about my class schedule, but I finally had the courage to recognize my fear for what it was. My ‘No’ should have absolutely been a ‘Yes.’ Yes, even as a sophomore, I am nervous about being at Duke. Now that I’m aware of just how much Duke has to offer and have witnessed so many incredibly impressive students in action, it’s hard not to feel like I am wasting precious time. As the luster of my first year at Duke wears off and the reality of the hard work that lies in front of me sets in, I’m unsure of my direction and feeling more than a little bit lost. I realize that this feeling is not so

different from the way I felt one year ago when my parents dropped me off on the East Campus quad. It may look different, but it’s the same beast. Instead of keeping up with the frat party schedule and the names of those two girls you know you talked to on the C1 yesterday, we’re now keeping up with recruiting, where people went on vacation, stories of amazing DukeEngage programs and research opportunities, who had what internship this summer, declaring majors, getting more involved on campus, and on and on and on. This summer gave me a chance to come up for air and remember there’s a real world outside of Duke’s campus. My graduation from Duke will not be the end, instead, it’s the beginning of my chance to take the tools I’ve gathered here and put them to use. I also realized that one-fourth of my Duke experience is complete, and this expiration date on my time at the greatest place on earth is what scares me the most. Every day this week, I’ve worried I’ll float passively through the rest of my Duke career as everyone else excels and overachieves, leaving me in May 2021 with an expensive piece of paper and not much else to show for my four years here. There’s not much I can do except remind myself of the lifelong relationships I’ve been lucky enough to form and that the transformation that my self-confidence, mental health, and maturity underwent last year are more than enough for me to be satisfied with. While I haven’t excelled academically or professionally yet, I remind myself if those were the only areas in which I’d succeeded last year, I’d feel very differently about returning to Duke for another year. The word sophomore literally means “wise fool.” Sophomores, we’re kidding ourselves if we say we’re not intimidated by Duke the second time around. Hopefully this time, we’ll at least be smart enough to own it. It’s okay to be confused—whether it’s about where the CCX goes or where the rest of your college experience is headed, we’re all a little lost. Also, I still don’t know the difference between Soc Psych and Soc Sci. And yes, I had a class in one of those buildings last semester (I just have no clue which one). Happy FDOC!

DYNAMITE DANIELE Proch’s second goal of the game lifts Duke to John Rennie Nike Invitational title in 92nd minute By Hank Tucker Associate Sports Editor

After a 3-1 win in its season opener Friday night, 90 minutes were not enough to determine Duke’s fate Sunday against Vermont. But the Blue Devils ensured they would not need much longer in the afternoon sun to secure their third straight John Rennie Nike Invitational title. Junior Daniele Proch scored his third goal of the weekend less than two minutes into extra time to lead No. 10 Duke past Vermont 3-2 at Koskinen Stadium after two late scores fueled the Blue Devils’ seasonopening victory against No. 20 Florida International. 2 Proch was named UVM 3 the DUKE tournament MVP and capped 1 Sunday’s game with FIU 3 a rebound goal after DUKE freshman Seth Kuhn forced Catamount goalkeeper Clay Thomas to make a diving save. “We went through a couple lulls of inactivity late in the second half, and they were first to every ball, and they took it to us and they had the momentum, especially when they tied up the game,” Duke head coach John Kerr said. “We regrouped right before the overtime started and we weren’t going to die

Daniel Proch carried the Blue Devils to victory with a pair of goals Sunday. easily, so we decided to fight.” The Blue Devils (2-0) pressured Vermont’s back line from the start of the match, as Thomas had to make saves on dangerous headers by McKenna and Proch in the first 12 minutes. But the Blue Devils earned yet another penalty kick after freshman Issa

Rayyan was taken down from behind in the box, and Proch buried his shot into the left side of the net. “A guy like Issa, he’s so darn fast he’s hard to track, and you think you have him and all of a sudden, he’s past you,” Kerr said. “We’re trying to get into dangerous areas and getting

into the box always creates havoc, and that’s what we’re trying to do when we’re getting to that final third.” The Catamounts (1-1) started to settle in midway through the first half and pressed forward to generate several chances immediately after the break. Geo Alves controlled a long ball with his chest and fired a shot over the crossbar a few minutes into the second half, and Freitas dribbled the ball back down the left side of the field a moment later before sending his shot wide of the far post. On Vermont’s next threat, Freitas had a clean look at the goal from inside the box but took a shot directly at goalkeeper Will Pulisic, who parried the ball away from danger. The Catamounts kept the game within reach with a point-blank save by Thomas off a shot by graduate transfer Kevin Feucht, and they finally found the back of the net to tie the score at 1-1 in the 69th minute when Alves received a pass from Freitas at the right of the box and lifted a shot past Pulisic to the far post. “We were not aggressive enough to put the game away early in the game, because in the first half we were definitely dominating,” Proch said. “We were not decisive enough to score the second goal, and we got punished.” See M.

Duke overpowered by No. 8 BYU in opening series By Winston Lindqwister Sports Managing Editor

For a young squad like the Blue Devils, opening the season against a top-10 opponent is no small task. Despite valiant efforts from freshmen and upperclassmen alike, Duke was unable to rise to the challenge. The Blue Devils dropped a pair of matches against No. 8 Brigham Young this weekend at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Cougars swept Duke 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-16) in the opener Friday 3 season BYU and followed that up DUKE 0 with a 3-1 (16-25, 25-19, 25-22, 25-17) 3 victory Saturday. BYU DUKE 1 Although freshman Ade Owokoniran sparked Duke’s offense with 12 kills in each outing and senior Leah Meyer controlled the net, the Blue Devil squad starting two freshmen struggled to hold off the Cougars’ surging offense. “Last night was our first competition against a really good team,” Duke head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We had some nerves going on but today I was really, really excited with how we came out and fought. We made some big adjustments and the team was able to do that against a good team and the team was able to learn a lot about ourselves tonight.” In Duke’s Friday match against Brigham

Young (2-0), the Blue Devils could not find an answer to the Cougars’ tandem of McKenna Miller and Heather Gneiting. Duke (0-2) burst out the gates in the first set with a 6-2 lead followed by a 5-2 run to build the advantage to 11-4. However, Miller and Gneiting led the way for the Cougars to turn around with a 16-4 surge to draw the advantage 20-15. Although the Blue Devils inched within two, Brigham Young powered ahead to take the first set 25-22. Unfortunately for Duke, the Blue Devils did not fare much better in the next two sets. In the second set the Cougars built up a 6-5 lead before Duke responded with six of their own—punctuated by a service ace from graduate transfer Andie Shelton. But yet again Miller and Gneiting were there to spark a 7-0 run to take control of the set. Although the Blue Devils tried to claw their way back, Brigham Young’s dominance at the net kept Duke at bay. In the third set, the Blue Devils found themselves at a 9-6 deficit that they could not overcome, closing the frame with a 25-16 loss and landing on the wrong end of a sweep to start the season. “[I was] really pleased with the effort, really pleased with the execution for the most part,” Nagel said. “Obviously we’ve got some things we have to work on, but the fact that this young team did that against such a strong opponent really has set some high Sujal Manohar | Photography Editor

FIELD HOCKEY

LATE GOAL EARNS DUKE OPENING-WEEKEND SWEEP By Dilan Trivedi Associate Sports Editor

New year, new team, same results. For the second consecutive season, Duke field hockey blanked William & Mary and eked out an overtime victory over Liberty. The No. 3 Blue Devils hosted the No. 22 Tribe Friday evening to 0 kick off their season and wasted no time W&M getting started. The scoring was initiated 4 by a pair of freshmen midfielders in Kiki DUKE Rozemeijer and Leah Crouse while Sammi Steele and the Duke defense stifled the attack. “We have been ready to get out and run against another team,” head coach Pam Bustin told GoDuke.com. “With the depth of this

team, energy is going to be a big part of what we try to achieve LIBERTY 3 every game. I think we try to bring a lot of energy to all the lines on the field with 4 our rotation. We want to continue to DUKE build on that to make some good things happen.” Rozemeijer, a Netherlands native, put a Jillian Wolgemuth pass into the back of the cage to tally the Blue Devils’ (2-0) first goal of the season just under 10 minutes into the contest. “We started off really well,” Rozemeijer said. “There was a lot of energy, a simple process. I felt we had great energy as a team.” As the end of the half approached, with a defense failing to surrender a single shot, a fast break opportunity led to another scoring opportunity for Duke. Crouse found space on the right side of the cage and was able to put home another goal to extend

the Blue Devils’ lead. “Over the past three weeks we’ve been working really hard to realize how to work together in our press,” Crouse said. “Our press was so much better than in our scrimmages. We have progressed so much as a team and we’re just going to keep building from here.” With the freshmen stealing the spotlight early, the seniors made sure they got in on the scoring action, with Caroline Andretta and Rose Tynan both finding the back of the cage to double Duke’s lead. Andretta scored off of Tynan’s pass early in the second half from the middle of the circle before Tynan—who lead the team in scoring last year—tallied one of her own in the 68th minute. Behind the offensive fireworks was a strong defensive performance that limited the Tribe (1-1) from seeing any good looks on goal. The Blue Devils outshot William & Mary 21-3 and earned six penalty corners to none, with Steele forced to make just one save to preserve the clean sheet. “Our defense was a total team effort, from the pressing lines to the backfield patience,” Bustin said. “Sammi did have to pull out a couple good saves there towards the end, but overall the energy and the work rate we had on the front line and in the midfield helped to make the job for the backfield a bit easier.” After defeating the Tribe with ease, Duke had a tougher test with the No. 23 Flames Sunday afternoon at Jack Katz Stadium. Last season, Tynan notched the winning tally in the 74th minute in Blacksburg, Va., to push the Blue Devils to victory. Today, it took three more minutes before Margaux Paolino gave Duke a 4-3 overtime victory. The Villanova, Pa., native knocked in a backhand shot from a feed from Dutch graduate student Tessa Gotte to push the Blue Devils to an undefeated start to their season – taking advantage of a yellow card to Liberty’s Jill Bolton. “We were transferring the ball very well in OT and trying to maintain possession,” Paolino said. “Rose [Tynan] cutting through opened it up for Tessa to get me that ball and just took the shot on goal, and luckily it went in. It always feels good to get a goal, but especially an OT winner.” Much like Friday, Duke wasted no time getting started, with Andretta finishing a feed from Erin Scherrer to tally her second goal of the season. Despite withstanding penalty corners throughout the first half, the Flames (1-1) struck through just over 10 minutes later on a Bolton penalty corner. However, the Blue Devils responded valiantly, with freshman Olivia Sahaydak and junior Haley Schleicher scoring within two minutes of one another before intermission to give the squad a 3-1 lead at the break.

Duke’s defense dominant in win against Elon By Liz Finny Associate Sports Editor

After a hard-fought tie against Georgetown on Thursday, the Blue Devils were eager to break out of a two-game offensive slump. No. 11 Duke did just that Sunday, showing the potential of its young and hungry team 0 with a 3-0 win ELON and second half 3 domination DUKE over Elon at Koskinen Stadium. The first half was riddled with missed opportunities for both teams, however, as they combined for 16 shots and only one goal. “Last year we had seven players that were four-year starters for us, and they played with each other for four years,” head coach Robbie Church said. “They read off each other much better. Now we’re still learning the movements, angles and passing.” With nine shots–four being shots on goal–in the first half, Duke’s inexperience with some of its younger players was evident. Freshman Marykate McGuire had a chance to score early with a shot right in front of the goalie, but the Blue Devil’s shot went right into the hands of Elon netminder Valentina Estrada. Church’s squad had another chance to score early in the first 15 minutes of the game with a Phoenix defender mistiming a header to gift Duke the ball in Elon territory. After failing to get a shot off, the Blue Devils

rocketed the ball wide. “We’re still learning to play with each other,” Church said. “There are a couple of things that have to be there on a regular basis…. For us it’s possession, keeping the ball, working off the ball, creating angles for us…. We’re still looking for the right mix of players in the right positions. “Be willing to run at players… being aggressive, not being scared to lose balls and turn balls over at different part of the field.” Church added that while the team has gotten better, they’re not where they want them to be. Duke (2-1-1) continued to have good looks and passes inside the box but failed to capitalize until an Elon blunder led to the Blue Devils finally finding the back of the net. A deep ball from sophomore Taylor Mitchell to senior forward Kayla McCoy led to a Blue Devil goal in the 33rd minute of the game. A miscommunication gave McCoy the window to dribble left past the keeper, and buried the ball in the wide-open net. “It wasn’t a pretty goal or anything special, but it was just nice to see the ball go in the back of the net,” McCoy said. “It’s a little bit of a relief, and now I can move on to the next game.” Backed up by junior Ella Stevens, McCoy also assisted in Duke’s second successful run at the net with 20 minutes left to go. The ball was passed to freshman midfielder Mackenzie See W. SOCCER on Page 10

BLUE ZONE

Take of the week: Bolden the missing link for Duke By Ben Leonard Managing Editor

Don’t get your hopes up about Duke winning a championship this year. It’s not going to happen. For the third straight year, Duke has the nation’s top recruiting class—but it still has Marques Bolden. And not much more size. Don’t get me wrong—Duke will certainly be one of the nation’s top teams with freshmen Zion Williamson and R.J Barrett leading the way. It has four dominant freshmen with an elite point guard in Tre Jones and three very strong wings in Barrett, Williamson and Cam Reddish, but will have to lean

on Bolden, a junior, in the post—who was dreadful in the Blue Devils’ recent Canada tour. Bolden didn’t score in the first two games of the Canadian tour and was benched in favor of Antonio Vrankovic. Yikes. He didn’t get any better after the benching, failing to score in the third and final game of the tour and picking up three fouls in 10 minutes. That’s certainly a step back from last season, in which he saw an increased role in the second half of the year and made strides in terms of offensive efficiency and rebounding. Bolden has battled through injuries in his time at Duke, but has never shown any indication that he is anything close to the player he was touted to be as a high schooler—a five-star stud and the nation’s No. 2 center recruit.

Bolden has scored in double digits just once at Duke. Let that sink in. Now he’s supposed to be in the final piece in the puzzle of a team with NCAA championship expectations? Fat chance that works out. Vrankovic is a nice role piece, but he wouldn’t be an upgrade from Bolden, even if he continued to play just as poorly as he did in Canada. For a team with a subpar Bolden to go all the way in March, it would have to be lights-out from the perimeter—a proposition that becomes much more difficult without defenses having to hone in on Bolden. The four freshmen are all incredible athletes that can score in transition and in the lane, but are unlikely to prove themselves to be reliable 3-point threats. Duke will be able to beat up on lower-level opponents that can’t handle their athleticism, but won’t have the balance on offense to consistently beat elite teams. And as we all saw last year, trying to build an effective defense around four freshmen will certainly come with some stumbling blocks. Duke will be very good, but if you’re looking for a team that will be primed to beat several of the nation’s top teams in a row in March, you’re out of luck.

The Devils in the details: Week of August 27th Blue Zone Editor

They say the devil is in the details. But in Durham, the Blue Devils are in the details—and numbers. Each week, the Blue Zone will dissect five key numbers from last week’s action in Duke sports, whether they be historic or underwhelming. This week, let the numbers take you inside a career game for Brooke Heinsohn and a dominant performance by mens basketball to round out the Duke-Canada tour.

In the last preseason game before October, Duke routed its final Canadian opponent, McGill University 103-58, as freshmen R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson combined for 59 points. Throughout the Duke Canada tour, Barrett and Williamson put the NCAA on notice, as they dominated games with their elite talent and athleticism. When fellow freshmen Cam Reddish and Tre Jones recover from their respective injuries, this team could be dangerous for a lot of Division-I opponents.

By Conner McLeod

Sophomore goalkeeper Brooke Heinsohn performed very well against Georgetown, notching a career-high 10 saves to shutout the Hoyas in the teams’ 0-0 draw last Thursday. Heinsohn, a first-year starter, now has two shutouts for the season and will be a major piece in Duke’s pursuit of another long playoff run.

The Blue Devils took down FIU (3-1) and Vermont (3-2) to win the John Rennie invitational for the sixth straight year. In the final game against Vermont, junior Daniele Proch scored his second goal of the game off an assist by freshman midfielder Seth Kuhn in extra time to secure the victory for Duke.

In their season opener against No. 8 BYU, the Blue Devils performed poorly, losing three straight sets with a match hitting percentage of only 0.13. Freshman Ade Owokiniran was the team leader in kills with 12, however, the Cougars’ seven blocks hurt Duke’s chances of making it a close game.

Seven different players scored in field hockey’s last two wins against Liberty (4-3) and William & Mary (4-0), for a very balanced offensive attack. After a disappointing loss in the second round of the playoffs last season, the Blue Devils would like to repeat their dominant season that got them to the NCAA tournament in the first place and take home the championship trophy that has eluded them for the last five years.

VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE 3 goals for us going into the season.” Although the Blue Devils upped the intensity in Saturday’s match, Duke was still unable to outlast Brigham Young. The Blue Devils rocketed out to take the advantage in the opening set. In limiting the Cougars to just a .026 hitting percentage, Duke built as much as a 12 point lead at 23-11. Although Brigham Young attempted to mount a comeback, the Blue Devils grinded out the final two exchanges to take the set 25-16. However, the Cougars were quick to shake off a slow start and ramped up the pressure on Duke. Despite facing an 8-4 deficit at the start of the second frame, the Blue Devils clawed their way to a 10-10 knot thanks to timely kills from senior Leah Meyer. Although Brigham Young tried to create separation, Duke managed to hold the Cougars within two at 20-18. However, a final 5-1 run from the visiting team capped the set to level the field at 1-1. Although Meyer paced Duke’s offense with 11 kills and five blocks for the night, the Blue Devils could not hold off key kills from Brigham Young’s Miller, Kennedy Eschenberg and Madi Robinson. The Cougars put away a 20-18 lead in the third set to take the frame 25-22 and followed up in dominating the fourth for a 25-17 victory. “I’m really excited for Leah to have the last two nights she has had against a strong opponent,” Nagel said. “Last night she was very steady—we wish we could’ve gotten her more balls last night—and she just played like a fourth year player. That was wonderful to see.” The Blue Devils will return to the court Sept. 7 in Baton Rouge, La., for the Tiger Classic. There, Duke will take on South Florida, LSU and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. “By playing these two tough matches right out of the chute we got a lot better from last night to tonight,” Nagel said. “We’re going to learn a whole lot from this match about us tonight too. I’m excited that we’ve gotten to play some really great competition early on because we’re going to learn more faster.”

Pluck, who grounded it into the lower right side of the net to put the Blue Devils ahead by two. McGuire proved to be a vital part of the Duke offense against the Phoenix (1-12) with four of Duke’s seven shots on goal in the game, despite some early missed opportunities. The Portsmouth, R.I., native was finally able to capitalize with eight minutes left after striking the ball into the upper right-hand part of the net. While the first half showed Duke’s inconsistency–the Blue Devils allowed seven shots total and three shots on goal–the second half showcased the home team’s hustle and control. Duke did not allow any more shots on goal, with Elon only having two shots the entirety of the second half. On the offensive end, the Blue Devils added seven shots and two goals in the latter half of the game. “In the second half, we played much better,” Church said. “We picked up our intensity, our focus, our attacking… We were able to have an aggressive mindset…. We showed more composure in the second half. Both the two last goals were very composed.” The impressive defense that Duke displayed against the Hoyas Thursday could be seen throughout Sunday’s game as well. Multiple blocks by Duke’s defense in the first half kept Elon from scoring despite bringing the crowd to their feet shouting for a hand ball on Duke. The Phoenix displayed a similarly strong defense while also struggling with some of the same issues as Duke–some miscommunication and a few missed opportunities. The young team

Halftime seemed to kill the scoring momentum for Duke, as the team was blanked in the second half while Liberty found its equalizers. Senior Agueda Moroni, who had a hat trick in the Flames’ season opener against James Madison, notched her 4th goal of the season on a diving backhand from eight yards out to cut the deficit in half. Liberty knotted the game at 3 with just over 11 minutes remaining on another penalty corner–this time finished by Lizzie Hamlett off a Moroni assist. “Liberty gave us a great challenge, as they always do,” Bustin said. “They have a real special player in [Moroni] and they have a great team behind her. But if we could manage some of the set pieces, we knew we could give them a good game. Unfortunately, the set pieces are what got us. We’ll look back as to why we conceded as many as we did at the beginning of the second half. We did a good job fixing it towards the end of the second half, and converting on ours now in critical moments is going to be the next step.” With their first weekend behind them, Duke will look to prep for a tough weekend ahead. The Blue Devils will travel to Maryland to compete in the Big 10/ACC Challenge where they will play No. 12 Northwestern Friday and No. 4 Maryland Sunday. “I’m really proud of them for sticking with it,” said Bustin. “We’ve been practicing to try to prepare for this. With our level of scheduling and opponents, we’re going to see overtimes and we’re going to see ourselves facing those situations after hot conditions like today. I’m really proud of the way they stepped on the overtime field and just got it done.”

Kayla McCoy got the Blue Devils on the board Sunday with a goal in the 34th minute. almost allowed the Blue Devils to go up by three with 15 minutes left when a defender was left as the only obstacle in the way for a Blue Devil rapidly approached with the ball. “We have to be really patient with ourselves but at the same time people need to step it up,” McCoy said. “They need to step into new roles because now the team is relying on them. So

that’s the big message—as a team we have to come together and work together a bit better. With patience and with time, we’ll be able to reach that whole new level.” The Blue Devils will begin the 2018 Duke Nike Classic with a match against Marquette Thursday night followed by a duel with Providence Sunday afternoon.

M. SOCCER FROM PAGE 2 Vermont nearly pulled in front with less than 20 minutes left on a low shot by Jon Bryant that slid inches wide of the post, and Duke soon drew a foul in its attacking half that led to its next breakthrough. The Blue Devils’ free kick sailed into the box, and after a brief scramble in front of the net, the ball wound up in front of Feucht, who volleyed it into the net for his first goal in a Duke uniform after a torn ACL at UC Santa Barbara sidelined him for the entire 2017 season. “He’s a quality player and he makes quality decisions. He’s not firing on all cylinders yet,” Kerr said. “He’s still recovering from a whole year not playing, so he needs more game time, but he showed his class on that finish and that was a big goal for us.” The Catamounts responded with less than seven minutes left to draw even at 2-2 after freshman center back Aedan Stanley whiffed on a chance to clear it for Duke, giving Alves a clean chance to fire a shot out of Pulisic’s reach for his second goal of the day. “It’s a learning process. When you have a practically all-new back line, it’s hard to be coordinated all at the same time so early in the season, so we’re still working on a number of things, and overall they performed very well,” Kerr said. “As expected, you’re going to make mistakes now and again, and sometimes they’re going to be costly, but we’ve got to learn from them quickly.” Vermont made a point-blank save off a shot by Rayyan in the closing minutes of regulation to preserve the tie and set up the

Blue Devils’ overtime heroics. The tournament opener Friday night started out slow offensively on both sides, but Duke broke through for its first score of the season just before halftime when junior Suniel Veerakone drew a foul in the box and senior Ciaran McKenna converted the penalty kick. The pace and physicality picked up after the break, as the Panthers (0-2) equalized in the 53rd minute on a header by Nick O’Callaghan after a flurry of chances. The next 20 minutes were marked by frustration for the Blue Devils, who drew two more fouls in the box but didn’t score, with Feucht missing the net wide left from the penalty spot and Proch sending his penalty shot over the crossbar. Kerr said Sunday he had not decided on a regular penalty-kick taker. “As a penalty taker, you score most and you miss a few. That’s fine. The most important thing is just take the ball and get the next PK, because one PK miss doesn’t mean anything,” Proch said. “You just have to pick your head up and score the next one.” Florida International committed 15 fouls in the game and was handed a red card just before Proch’s miss, and it didn’t take long for Duke to capitalize on the man advantage. Sophomore Matthias Frick gave the Blue Devils the lead with a header off a corner kick in the 77th minute, and Proch put the nail in the coffin three minutes later off an assist from Brandon Williamson. Williamson, Frick and Rayyan joined Proch on the all-tournament team for Duke. The Blue Devils will make a cross-country trip to the West Coast next week to face San Diego late Friday night for their first regularseason action away from Koskinen.
