ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH YEAR, ISSUE 4

Price discusses first days in office, agenda for new year creative in how they approach what they do. So I’m looking for ways I can do this on a regular basis, maybe on a smaller scale instead of sending out messages on a routine basis. I very much want to be in regular contact with students— not just student leaders, but a variety of student groups.

Claire Ballentine The Chronicle First-years have now filled campus, moving into their new dorms and getting to know each other, but there’s one new kid that sticks out from the rest—President Vincent Price, who stepped into his new position in July. The Chronicle’s Claire Ballentine spoke with Price about the adjustment to life in North Carolina and his plans for his first year. This transcript has been edited and condensed for clarity. The Chronicle: How has the transition been so far? Vincent Price: It has been delightful. We had an opportunity to get out and around town. We’re getting a chance to experience Durham, and I’m impressed by the vitality and the diversity of the community. I’ve had a chance to meet with a number of administrators, faculty and staff. TC: Are you all moved into the Hart House? VP: We are indeed. Our dogs are doing well, we take them for regular walks on the Al Buehler Trail. They’re having a great time. TC: Did you bring any personal touches to your new office? VP: I’m waiting on some furniture to arrive. Nan Keohane had very large conference tables in this office when she was president. Dick Brodhead had an arrangement of very nice furniture

in the center, and I think I’m going to split the difference by having a nice conference table, but I also like the informality of the arrangement that President Brodhead favored, so we’re still in an adjustment period. TC: Have you had interacted with student leaders or student groups yet? VP: We’ve been in contact and meetings are being arranged, but I haven’t had a chance yet. I did have a chance during the transition to meet with outgoing student leaders. I’m still working on my Fall calendar and planning some meetings throughout the Fall.

TC: One critique of presidents in the past is that they haven’t communicated enough with students. What are some of the ways you plan to communicate with students on campus? We have a president who tweets now, so that’s always an option. VP: I don’t know that a lot of tweeting is in the cards here, but I’d like to be visible and accessible. I’d like to be a partner to those across the campus who are trying to make the most of our resources here at Duke. These are exciting times in higher education. I have always found that students, because they represent an intense experience on their campus, are just so

TC: One way President Brodhead communicated with students was through a couple of community forums in Page Auditorium. Would you consider this? Do you think it’s effective? VP: I’m open-minded about different formats that might be used. Large town hall events are sometimes neither as interactive as people would like or as small-scale and authentic as other conversations. I think my impulse is to speak to a variety of groups in settings that allow for back and forth and give or take as opposed to these large-scale, more formal town hall meetings. But again my calendar is just now being populated with a variety of meetings. TC: What have your interactions with Coach K been like so far? VP: We’ve been in contact throughout the transition and I’ve been able to spend time with him and some of the other coaches. I was able to swing by some practices and talk to Coach Cutcliffe, and I’ve spent time with Athletic Director Kevin White. I’m excited to be part of a campus that has such a vibrant program of athletics, so See PRICE on Page 13

Duke will increase its minimum wage for employees and contract workers to $15 per hour by 2019. The increase from the current $13 per hour minimum should affect more than 2,300 workers and will occur in intervals, according to a Duke Today release. The minimum wage for employees will increase to $14 on July 1, 2018 and will then rise to $15 per hour by July 1, 2019. “Duke has a longstanding commitment to providing a total compensation package that recognizes and rewards the talented people who continue to make this institution a national leader,” said President Vincent Price in the release. “This starts with pay, which is why we are moving forward with these increases, but it also includes

benefits such as health insurance, retirement and paid time away. Our goal always is for Duke to be the best place to work in North Carolina.” The rise by 2019 will mark a 37 percent increase in Duke’s minimum wage since 2015. The University, the largest employer in Durham, raised its minimum wage from $10.91 to $12 per hour in 2015 and then up to $13 per hour in 2017. The state and federal minimum wage is $7.25. The latest increase will cover all regular University and Health System staff that work at least 20 hours per week and 36 weeks per year. It will also apply to outside contractors that employ people who work on Duke’s campus.

Editor’s note: It’s time to engage In the past three weeks alone, so much has happened. Just as more than 1,700 students moved onto campus for the first time this summer, we have another new resident on campus: President Vincent Price. Hailing from the University of Pennsylvania, Price has already made headlines by removing the controversial Lee statue and raising the minimum wage to $15 by 2019. Just as first-years are getting to know the campus, we are getting know Price. In Charlottesville, a white supremacist rally led to the death of one woman and injured dozens more. Soon after, The Chronicle reported the mysterious history of the Robert E. Lee statue outside the Chapel. There was a lot of dialogue online and on campus about whether we should memorialize controversial historical figures. Earlier that week, Durham protesters toppled a Confederate statue near East Campus. Then, the Lee statue was vandalized overnight, which Price and Luke Powery, dean of the Chapel, condemned. Several hundred alumni signed a petition advocating for the removal of the statue and pledging to withhold their donations until it was removed. Finally, over that

weekend, the statue was removed. During the period, The Chronicle received dozens of letters to the editor and guest columns, something we appreciate because we understand the importance of civil discourse. With all that’s going on in the world and right here on campus, The Chronicle is committed to providing the most up to date and unbiased information. We know that now more than ever, honest, objective journalism is necessary and we promise to provide just that. This year, we hope to produce content in different, more digital ways. We want to not only write engaging articles, but also bring you with us in our reporting through Facebook LIVE and other multimedia venues. Recently, we launched our new website and we hope that it facilitates better comprehension of our content. We understand that digital journalism is the future and we want to tailor the presentation of our work to what you want. In that vein, we hope to provide you with more audio and video products and become the primary multimedia outlet on campus.

Lemur Center welcomes Grant Hill stresses honesty, two endangered lemurs responsibility to first-years Claire Ballentine The Chronicle Having a ton of new first-years on campus is cool—but the arrival of two new furry friends at the Duke Lemur Center is just as exciting. Plus, they don’t even crowd the buses. Five-year-old male Mangamaso and 3-year-old female Velona are the Lemur Center’s newest residents, arriving from nature center Parc Ivoloina in Madagascar after three years of planning and 60 hours of travel. The two blue-eyed black lemurs are part of a critically endangered species and will help improve the gene pool of the species at the Lemur Center.

“The populations that we have and that Europe has and that Parc Ivoloina has are a genetic safety net for this species,” said Sara Clark, director of communications at the Lemur Center. “Even if they do go extinct in the wild, we have these lemurs here that are genetically healthy.” Blue-eyed black lemurs are one of the world’s 25 most threatened primates, and in 2015, scientists estimated that the species could become extinct in the wild within 11 years. There are currently fewer than 1,000 wild blue-eyed black lemurs. Mangamaso and Velona will help increase the genetic diversity of the Lemur Center’s population. Before See LEMURS on Page 13

Joyce Er The Chronicle After almost a week of settling in on campus, the Class of 2021 received a warm welcome Saturday from a Duke icon—Grant Hill. Hill, Trinity ‘94 and former Blue Devil basketball star, drew on his personal experience at Duke for a speech at the Chapel that closed orientation week. As a student, Hill double-majored in history and political science. Outside of class, he became a two-time NCAA champion, NCAA AllAmerican and ACC Player of the Year. Hill reminisced on the everyday struggles of adjusting to college life— including learning to manage his time and living with a roommate as an only child. “It’s hard to believe that 27 years ago, I was going through exactly what you are going through now,” Hill said. “What you experience this week and this year, I think, will last you the rest of your life.” For Hill, what ultimately distinguishes Duke as an institution is its people. He credited the University’s excellence to its superior leadership, including its new president, Vincent Price. He also noted that Duke had undergone significant enhancements to its physical infrastructure since his graduation, thanks to the continued

support of the University’s alumni. “I’m sure you’ve had the chance to visit the West Union, which is obviously a great fine dining [venue]. When I was here we just had a cafeteria which we called ‘the pits,’” he joked. Hill emphasized that Duke’s students are most responsible for making the University great. “It’s you—it’s the students,” Hill said. “You guys are achievers, you guys are the best of the best, you chose to come here, you chose to contribute to the culture of this place and make it better.” Based on his experience under Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Kryzyzewski’s “legendary” leadership, See HILL on Page 15

Century ago, former President Kilgo severs ties with Uni. Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle A century ago, John Kilgo, former president of then Trinity College and chair of the Board of Trustees, ended his association with the University. Although most students on campus know the name Kilgo from the quad closest to West Union, the name comes from a well-known bishop who served as Trinity College’s fourth president. Kilgo—president from 1894 to 1910—was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1910 to 1917 and also served as its chair. Because he had so many connections to Trinity, it was shocking to the University community when an article appeared in the Greensboro Daily News on June 16, 1917 reporting that Kilgo had severed his “connection with Trinity.” “All intelligent and fair-minded persons must know that, judged in the light of nearly 25 years of devotion and unselfish service to Trinity College, a devotion which the record puts beyond challenge, only the most vital reasons could have moved me to take this step,” Kilgo wrote in a local paper in 1917. Through letters, speeches and other historical documents found in the Duke Archives, The Chronicle pieced together the dramatic series of events that led to his statement. The ‘buffalo class’ Understanding Kilgo’s decision requires understanding what The Chronicle once called “the long-lived contest between [Kilgo] and the Class of 1917,” which began on Thanksgiving night 1914. On that Thursday evening, someone “hoisted a large flag bearing the figure ‘17’” to the flag staff in the center of campus, according to a Greensboro Daily News report. When Kilgo saw the vandalism outside Craven Memorial Hall—a building on East Campus that was burned down in 1972—he was angry. The following Monday, he made a speech condemning the action, calling the perpetrators “traitors, buffaloes, cowards” and “sons of Benedict Arnold,” according to the Greensboro Daily News report. Kilgo further said that there was a “stain on the Class of 1917,” which he would from then call the “buffalo class.” “The bishop concluded by saying that unless the guilty one was ferreted out and sent away as a traitor to his country and a blot to Trinity, he would sever himself from the college, erase the name of Trinity from all his belongs and spend the remainder of his life in apology,” the report noted. Upon hearing Kilgo’s remarks, the Class of 1917 adopted a resolution resenting “unwarranted interference by an outsider who occupies no executive position in the college management.” Kilgo had stepped down from the office of president four years earlier, although he was on the Board of Trustees. “The sophomores in class assembled say that the class as a whole was not responsible for the prank and do not think the whole class deserves to be put into the ‘buffalo, scoundrel and sons of Benedict Arnold’ column,” the resolution stated. “They adopted a set of resolutions in which they say that they do not believe that it is business of the class to ferret out the man or men who did this deed. The class also resents Bishop Kilgo’s ‘unwarranted interference’ in college affairs.” Kilgo wrote to a Trinity alum, whom he called Mr. Andrews, that the class in fact knew who the perpetrators were and lied about it to the public. He added that he could not tolerate

students lying and thought those that attended Trinity College had better character. “IT WAS THE FALSEHOOD AGAINST WHICH I WAS MOVED,” Kilgo wrote in all capital letters. “I have always been willing to be patient with every form of wickedness except falsehood. A man who will not tell the truth has in him no foundation upon which to work.” The “buffalo class” graduates The flag incident stuck with Kilgo for many years. In a letter to Mr. Andrews in December 1917, Kilgo recalled “a steady growth of serious misconduct among the students” to contextualize the flag incident. “Vandalism, disregard for administrative regulations, making sport of somethings which should always receive respect from Trinity students, drinking, card playing and even having prostitutes in the dormitories,” Kilgo wrote. “Of course these things were rebuked but they did not cease, especially in some

of them. All this was to me signs of peril and causes of sore grief.” Two years after the flag incident, the Class of 1917 was graduating, and commencement became a tumultuous affair. In April 1917 before graduation, members of the Class of 1917 wrote to Kilgo after he received an offensive letter from someone claiming to be a part of that class. “It is the unanimous desire of the Class to express to you its profound humiliation and regret at this occurrence which is at once an insult to the Seniors Class and to one who was served the College so faithfully and so well,” the letter stated. “It is furthermore the sincerest hope of the Class that you will not for a moment believe that any such sentiment as must have prompted the writing of such a letter is present in this body; but that you will understand that this Class cherishes for you only feelings of deepest loyalty and respect.” According to his letter to Andrews, Kilgo—then chair of the

Study shows promise in two-pronged cancer therapy Nathan Luzum The Chronicle Duke researchers are combining nanotechnology and immunotherapy to develop new tools for cancer treatment. Through a collaboration across campus— including the surgery, chemistry, radiation oncology and biomedical engineering departments—Duke researchers have developed a two-part treatment named Synergistic Immuno Photothermal Nanotherapy (SYMPHONY) that was able to successfully treat bladder cancer in a mouse model. The first portion of their recent development harnesses the power of nanotechnology and is designed on a scale small enough to interact with body systems and damage tumors, explained Brant Inman, associate professor of surgery, in an email. The second involves an [immunotherapy] treatment used to

bolster the immune system, he added. “The treatment somehow reflects the yin-and-yang of life,” said Tuan Vo-Dinh, R. Eugene and Susie E. Goodson professor of biomedical engineering and professor of chemistry. “It embodies the powerful synergy of the two complementary approaches. One is what I call the ‘brute force,’ which involves the laser, metallic nanoparticles and a drug. But then it combines with the soft, subtle and yet very powerful immune system of our own body.” Out of five mice treated with the two-prong therapy, the treatment effectively reduced tumor sizes in two mice, with visible effects in tumors both near and far from the injection site. Later, Vo-Dinh explained, the team injected newer tumor cells into the two tumor-free mice and found that their original tumors did not relapse. Two other mice from the experiment also experienced shrinkage in their tumors near the injection site but ultimately did not share reduction in tumor size far

away from the injection site. Inman noted that the treatment effects he and his team observed with the combination therapy were a major improvement to other singular approaches. “The nanostars alone and the [immunotherapy] alone were only minimally effective against the bladder cancer,” Inman wrote. “However, when combined together as we have done with SYMPHONY, the result was dramatically improved efficacy.” Vo-Dinh, who is also director of the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics, explained that his work with gold nanostars is a culmination of over 30 years of research and development of nanosystems for medical purposes. Although researchers have already made major advances in using nanostar systems to diagnose illnesses, Vo-Dinh’s particular focus expanded about ten years ago, incorporating his interests “in not only diagnostics but also therapy.” Since tumors are often compositionally fluid, gold nanostars injected into the body preferentially accumulate in cancerous areas of the tissue, Vo-Dinh said. And when activated by a laser, injected gold nanostars can “amplify laser light immensely and act like a lightning rod” to absorb the light and heat the surrounding cancerous tissue, he added. “We can use that nanostar-mediated heating to selectively kill tumor cells with less damage to healthy cells,” Vo-Dinh said. “As a principle, hyperthermia can increase the tumor temperature and induce cell damage and promote local immune effects.” Vo-Dinh said that this approach is quite selective, damaging cancerous tissue and keeping healthy tissue healthy and intact. Several types of light are theoretically capable of heating the nanostar, but Vo-Dinh said he and his team designed nanostars so that they strongly absorb near-infrared light, which is able to penetrate deeper into the tissue. “You shine light onto the body, and if it is visible, it stops on the surface because there is strong absorption by the tissue in the body,” he said. “But when light is in the near-infrared, it can go further.” Inman noted that the immunotherapy supplied to patients blocks PD-L1 molecules, a therapy which ultimately reduces the tumors’ ability to disarm the body’s immune system. “Certain cancers, including bladder cancer, have acquired the ability to express and use this molecule to turn off the body’s immune response to the cancer,” he wrote. “This effectively allows the tumor to escape the immune system.” Although the combination therapy showed efficacy in this study, the researchers are still unsure as to why gold nanostars and anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy make for such a formidable pair. Inman speculated that the heat given off by the nanostars allows the immune system “to see the cancer better” but noted that the team is still working toward an answer. Vo-Dinh added that he is now collaborating with Duke clinical researchers to apply the SYMPHONY treatment to other forms of cancer—such as glioblastoma and breast cancer—as proving grounds to further evaluate the treatment’s efficacy.

PRICE from page 1 it’s been a lot of fun for me. TC: In the past years, Duke has experienced a series of racist and homophobic incidents. How do you see yourself addressing these issues? VP: I think that universities offer a special opportunity for faculty, students and staff to think deeply about the issues that confront local communities and our nation as a whole. I want to be part of that conversation, I think it’s very important for us not to wait to have those kinds of difficult conversations and those moments when we find ourselves in a state of anxiety or crisis. We should be thinking proactively about what we can do to help this community be its very best. So as president, what I would like to do is engage with faculty, students and staff across campus and foster a climate that respects open expression and fosters a deep sense of mutual respect. TC: How do you balance wanting to have free expression with the proliferation of ideas that are racist or hurtful to students? VP: I think the best way to counter reprehensible speech is with more speech and to have our voices heard. And to weigh in on these debates. I think the best time to do this is on a routine basis as we identify issues and dig into them and build robust relationships and a sense of trust. So I think we need to invent stronger and better ways to talk as a democracy, and I’d like to see Duke as an exemplar of that kind of conversation. TC: There’s been discussion about splits in the student body based on race, class or status in Greek organizations. What do you think is the solution to better unite the student body as a whole? VP: You’ve put your finger on an important phenomenon, and that is our natural tendency to gravitate toward people who seem like us. One of the great virtues of a university is that we assemble such a diverse collection of faculty, students and staff that finding ways to bridge those gaps and create opportunities for exchange across groups is an opportunity not to be squandered. I wish I had the answers to all those questions, but I think if we as a community commit to finding ways and if the student body takes in earnest this challenge to getting to know students who are different from them—Greeks and non-Greeks, across the political spectrum, across the socioeconomic divide—that is an opportunity students will have while they’re at Duke that will exceed, by far, the opportunity for those kinds of exchanges they’ll have once they leave this campus environment. So I’d like to work with students in whatever ways they think are productive to foster those kinds of conversations across boundaries. That’s when we learn the most, that’s when we grow the most. TC: Another issue that many students are concerned about is rising tuition costs. Every year, the price of attending Duke gets higher and higher. Where do you think we go from here? VP: This is a central challenge for Duke and universities like Duke. We’ve long been committed to having a need-blind admissions policy so that we admit students without regard to their ability to pay and we work very hard to meet the demonstrated financial need of students who enroll here, so that’s a significant commitment. It cost the University more than $140 million last year. It is only possible with the continued support of donors, so I will continued working aggressively to raise funds for financial aid. At the same time, I want to take a close look at our aid policy to make sure we’re addressing the needs of— for example—middle income families who are struggling because they’re not on full-assistance programs, and to monitor the loan burden on students. So we’ll be looking more at those practices. There’s no question that the cost of a Duke education is significant because of all the things that a university like Duke provides, but we do have to dig into these questions of cost, we have to manage ourselves as efficiently as possible and study what we’re now doing in administering financial aid and start to address some of these burdens on families. TC: What has surprised you about the job so far? VP: I haven’t been surprised by anything new or startling at Duke that I didn’t come to know during the transition. Most of what’s happened is that my extraordinarily positive views of Duke have been

confirmed by everything since. I’m a little surprised by just how dog friendly the community is and how much people love dogs. And it’s getting to the point where I think maybe in the search process Crickett and Scout were the main targets. TC: What’s on your agenda for your first year? VP: It’s still early days, it’s too early to start outlining specific goals, although they’re the focus of my thinking at this point in time. I would like to start with the right tone by getting out and getting to know students. I will be meeting with the faculty of all of our schools, I’m looking forward to opportunities to meet with different organizations. And I’d like to set the tone as president for fruitful and engaging conversation and the kinds of issues that you raised earlier with me. There’s no question that we’ll have more specific objectives. I do want to maintain the momentum coming out of the Duke Forward campaign and continue to generate the resources needed to improve the already outstanding work of the University.

LEMURS from page 3 their arrival, every blue-eyed black lemur in North America—about 28 living in zoos and conservation facilities—descended from seven lemurs imported by the Lemur Center in 1985 and 1990. Genetic diversity leads to increased health and immune responses as well as improved ability to adapt to environmental factors, Clark explained. “If you don’t have a genetically diverse population, you start running into problems,” she said. “Sometimes lower birth rates are related to low genetic diversity.” The lemurs’ 9,000-mile journey was a complicated one due to strict import and export regulations. Their transfer is the first time in 24 years that lemurs have been imported from Madagascar to the U.S. “We’re all relieved that this happened,” Clark said. “It was so much work, and for a while it looked like it wouldn’t happen at all, but it all See LEMURS on Page 15

came together.” The transfer agreement involved the government of Madagascar, Parc Ivoloina, the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Program and the European AZA Endangered Species Program. The Duke Lemur Center transferred two of its blue-eyed black lemurs to France to help the European breeding program as part of the negotiations. Mangamaso and Velona needed more than just a passport for their trans-Atlantic journey—their transport required 19 separate documents including authorizations from Madagascar wildlife authorities, veterinary certificates and arrangements with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The lemurs did get to ride in style, as a Fuqua School of Business alum who lives in Madagascar let the lemurs borrow a private plane to travel from Parc Ivoloina to Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital city. This quick flight meant that they bypassed a 10-hour drive over the country’s bumpy roads. From there, Lemur Center veterinarian Cathy Williams went with the animals on their flight to U.S. Afterward, they were kept in quarantine for two months to make sure they were healthy and free of disease before arriving at the Lemur Center. Mangamaso and Velona are getting adjusted to their new home and are visible from the tour path, Clark said. “If people make a reservation, it’s very possible they’ll be able to catch a glimpse of those two,” she said. “They do tend to be out and visible—they love people watching.”

Hill discussed three learning points which he said Krzyzewski both lived by and demanded from Hill’s fellow teammates. He called on the audience to practice “love of the game” and of each other. “If you love something, you will value it, you will nurture it, you will do everything you can to protect it—whether it’s on the court, the relationships, the excellence you demand from one another or whether it’s here on campus as a student,” Hill said. He further emphasized the importance of being honest with oneself and exercising collective spirit and responsibility. Illustrating the latter principle, he used a metaphor to stress teamwork. “If you strike too hard you may hurt yourself,” he said. “But if you bring your fingers together into a fist, now you can do some real things together. We try to live by that.” Hill also encouraged students in the year ahead to ‘be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud,’ quoting poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou. Students in attendance said they appreciated his brief but inspirational address to the class. “He’s really an icon,” said junior Xinchen Li, a transfer student from the University of California at Los Angeles. First-years Ted Choi and Sam Kim added that Hill was an inspiring speaker. “I’ll have to say that the speech was very intriguing, and certainly something I thought could reach into the hearts of many,” Choi said. “At the same time, the man was bomb, and I hope to hear from him again.”

Union, said the increase would help him a lot. “More money equals better living,” Young said. “In any circumstance, something like that is nice, especially if you feel like you’re worth it.” Corin King—a manager and souschef at JB’s Roast and Chops and the Skillet—also applauded the increase. King is a Durham resident and currently earns $14 per hour. He said the wage raise would be great for Duke’s reputation as an employer. “That would be at least 20 to 30 people here that would be making $15,” King said

in refereence to employees at J.B.’s and the Skillet. “It will really make the people of Durham flock to this area to get jobs because not too many people around here are hired for $15 per hour.” Still, King is concerned about the possible impact of the wage increases on staffing. He said the higher wages could force the University to cut some of its employees’ hours, echoing a common argument of some opponents of minimum wage increases. But Kyle Cavanaugh, vice president for administration, said he does not expect staffing cuts. He said the rollout of the raise increase will give “all of our units sufficient time to plan from a budgetary perspective.”

This course explores communities, cultures, and connections between Africa and Arabia. It provides concepts, information, and theories that help students understand cultural relationships between Arabs and Africans, historical backgrounds, migration within and emigration from the two groups, and areas of collaboration and contention in the globalized world. Selected themes of religion, language, music, and narratives against European colonialism will be examined as case studies within overlapping configurations of identity politics. Scholarly readings, political biographies, films, guest experts, as well as visiting local religious and diasporic communities are vital components of the course. Students will correspond and collaborate with students from Egypt, Morocco, Senegal and Uganda. Mbaye Lo

Both Vo-Dinh and Inman emphasized the need for interdisciplinary research and the combination of treatments to develop more effective methods of neutralizing cancerous tumors, beyond recent advances. “With very few exceptions, single agent/modality treatments of cancer do not work,” Inman wrote. “I believe that most cancer treatments will involve a variety of combinations of surgery, drugs, devices and/or radiation.” He added that designing SYMPHONY brought together many faculty across several departments, including Greg Palmer, associate professor radiation oncology, and Paolo Maccarini, assistant research professor of biomedical engineering. “This research is a product of teamwork that reflects the strongly interdisciplinary nature of research at Duke,” Vo-Dinh said.

Works by Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Edward Yang, Tsai Ming-Liang, Wong Kar-Wai, Midi Z, and Jia Zhangke, help us explore national cinemas, realism and style, and the transnational impact of globalization in the 21st century. Secondary reading for this course is minimal. Students are required to view a significant number of films and expected to write analytically and critically on those films. Active outside research is also crucial to successful learning in this class. Please note, the seminar meets every Wednesday, there will be three required Monday evening screenings. Guo-Juin Hong

KILGO from page 5

For a while, Kilgo put his desire to resign from the Board to rest.

Board of Trustees—asked President William Few to speak to the Class of 1917 before commencement to see if they still stood by their original statement about the flag. “I care nothing about their opinion of me. It is not a personal matter,” Kilgo wrote. “It is wholly a matter of moral policy in Trinity. If they will withdraw the statement that there is no proof that it was done by members of their class, I have not one word more to say.” Few told Kilgo that he spoke to the class and they stood by their previous resolution. For Kilgo, this meant the class condoned the falsehood, something he found so unacceptable that he could not vote for the male members of the class to graduate and would not sign their diplomas. However, the members of the Class of 1917 still graduated. Joseph Brown, who would become chair of the Board of Trustees after Kilgo, signed their diplomas. The next morning, Kilgo offered his resignation, but the Board declined to consider it.

The ‘crack brain’ reporter Kilgo’s speech at commencement and decision not to sign the diplomas caused quite a sensation in North Carolina. One reporter, W. T. Bost of the Greensboro Daily News, was particularly interested in Trinity’s affairs. On June 10, 1917, Bost wrote a scathing account of the events at commencement in an article with the headline “Trinity Seniors make Dr. Kilgo no apology but get certificates.” The day after, Few wrote to Kilgo, emphatically expressing his support of Kilgo. He wrote that he did his best to keep the recent commencement out of the newspapers. “I am infinitely sorry that you have had to be harassed with all this,” Few wrote. “But I hope that you will allow it to trouble you just as little as possible; and I am going to do the same. I am sorry I could not have managed it better, but I have done my best; and I shall have to depend upon the good Lord as I have in other trying occasions.” Few wrote that he wanted to prepare a statement to

Free Speech: France-USA

Prof. Solterer TTH 11:45-1:00 Events in our region, from murderous hate speech in Charlottesville to the toppling and removing of Confederate statues in Durham, challenge us to deepen the investigation of the comparative, Franco-American history of free speech. This course responds to struggles and debates in our midst – ones we share with the French-speaking world. We’ll study key concepts and questions that define the principle at the heart of the French and American Republics. The political, religious/secular, and legal contexts shaping it; the State’s role of protecting it; the rights and limits of individual expression; the crimes of hate speech. All our study of free speech will engage with its opposite : censorship and the need to outlaw extreme speech acts inciting violence. Using case studies, we’ll begin with the problem of hate speech, comparing the racist, anti-Semitic [Jewish and Arab] ‘fighting words’ we are facing here, with the anti-secular, anti-modern words that the French, Tunisians, and Malians face from ISIS. Other cases include: authors pursued for incitement to hatred or obscenity; writing banned for blasphemy; Voltaire, Sade, Céline. Intended for those beginning 300 level work in French. Regular brief, assignments will help you improve your written expression; class debate is structured to help you speak up and out in clear, correct French. C-L PJMS 335 ALP, CZ, CCI, EI, FL

Biography, Life Writing, Autofiction

Prof. Solterer TTH 3:05-4:20 In our storytelling times, biography and autobiography are becoming significant forms of writing and thinking again. This course examines these genres through major authors including Proust, Rousseau, Feraoun, Montaigne. Their work will give you key critical questions: whose story deserves to be told: every wo/man alongside the famous? The non-human – even objects like a radio? What forms of writing capture the complexity of our experience: portrait, meditation, fragments, dream scenarios? How do writers give lives meaning by representing them as a process of discovery and change? From contemporary novelists Michon and Ernaux to Descartes’ scientific self-study and the “Vidas” of troubadours, you’ll be provided a range of models of first-person narrative and that of ‘lives other than my own.’ Critics Foucault and Barthes will help you to investigate why these models are so influential, how individual vantage points shape the way generations understand their personal development. They also challenge us to think how lives are transformed by events defining the Frenchspeaking world, such as the struggle over gender and sexual rights, or the war of independence in Algeria. Studying biography and autobiography equips you with tools in cultural history, criticism, and political thought that will extend beyond the seminar. C-L LIT 420/ HISTORY 420 ALP, CZ, CCI, FL, R

Versailles and Performing Arts

Prof. Richard MW 1:25-2:40 Examines the political, cultural, and artistic history of Versailles in the 17th and 18th centuries with a specific emphasis on music. Traces the development of the palace, garden, city, from its origins as a hunting retreat and setting for ephemeral courtly entertainments, through its apogee as the seat of the Absolutist State, to its decline and collapse less than a century later. French music, which had a considerable influence in Europe at the time, invented a series of genres with innovative forms (court airs, court ballet, comedy-ballet, opera-ballet, lyrical tragedy), and paved the way for the modern orchestra. Course investigates how artistic creations articulated evolving ideas around the court, monarchy and State, the private and public spheres, exploring their resonances in present art and literature.

Out of this World: From Marco Polo to Dante (and Beyond…)

Laura Banella MW 3:05-4:20 This course challenges the modern idea that the Middle Ages was a dark and superstitious period by revealing its richness, diversity, and particular curiosity for the exotic and the supernatural. Medieval intellectuals were not only monks buried in their cells, or knights closed in their castles, but explorers who were eager to understand the world surrounding them, and to explore it. Through the close reading of some of the major vernacular works that were produced in the Italian Late Middle Ages, this course aims at exploring Medieval Italian Literature through the lens of the travel to another world or in the other world, and the representation of the reality and of the other. Readings will include selections from Dante’s Divine Comedy, Boccaccio’s Decameron, Marco Polo’s travels, the reports of missionaries from the Orient, and Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. These real and imaginary travels, tales and stories, will help us explore this remarkable period of Italian literature. ALP, CCI, FL

Meridionalismo Letterario

Prof. Dainotto TH 3:05-5:35 At least since Madame De Staël distinguished “two very distinct literatures: the one that comes from the south, and the one which descends from the north,” southern literature has been identified as having peculiar characteristics. This course looks at the specific case of modern (i.e. post-unification) Italy in the historical context of the so-called “southern question.” Class discussions will be organized thematically, by looking at some constitutive tropes of “southernism”: the permanence of the past, the Mediterranean, the classical and the baroque, the failed national unification.

Re-Imagining the Early Modern Mediterranean: Love, War, Corsairs, Empire

Prof. Finucci TU 3:05-5:35 The Mediterranean has always been imagined as a crossroads between East and West, North and South, as well as a multicultural area uniting (or dividing) Europe, Asia and Africa, the center as well as the border of Western civilization. It is where antiquity was located, where cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism were first played, where the Catholic West met (and sometimes fought) with the Judaic-Islamic East, and where food, commerce and climate gave unity to otherwise divided identities. We will attempt to identify the modes by which the Mediterranean was represented in the long early modern era through plays (i.e., Othello; The Jew of Malta; The Sister; The Bagnos of Algiers), films (i.e., Harem Suare); travel narratives (i.e., Coryate, de Busbecq, bin Qasim); novellas (i.e., Boccaccio, Cinthio); costume books (i.e, Vecellio; De Bruyn); operas (i.e, L’italiana in Algeri); and stories of conquest and of slavery (i.e., Cervantes, Pamuk, Scetti, Hasleton).

print in the Daily News about the events that took place at commencement. However, a man affiliated with the University and W. Duke and Sons company—whose name is illegible on the document—wrote him saying that submitting a statement would feed Bost’s ego. “Mr. Bost is a ‘crack brain’ irresponsible newspaper reporter, who would consider it a great compliment if his article should bring forth a reply from you or any other responsible man,” the man wrote. According to Kilgo’s letter to Andrews months later, he felt Bost’s reporting was unfair and said the fact that the University did not do anything about it was a betrayal. “The most untrue matter was evidently furnished [Bost], and he wrote articles attacking me and saying things that were to my mind, abusive.” Kilgo wrote. “Yet not a word was spoken against by the Trustees or by the administration.” A week after Bost’s article came about, Kilgo cut his ties to the University, which included no longer preaching and advising students and resigning from the Board of Trustees and president-emeritus. He explained his decision in the letter to Andrews. “I decided as I had taken patiently abuse for Trinity College, and then abuse by Trinity College of the latter I had enough, and I was determined to force the real attitude of the college toward this sort of conduct,” Kilgo wrote. “I resigned. I gave no reason for my resignation.” Upon hearing news of Kilgo’s resignation, Few hastily wrote to Kilgo, expressing his regret for how the events unfolded. “I take literally the first opportunity to write you, and there is not much to say now except to tell you that I’m sorry, that in the sad shape the Board may find it possible not to accept your resignation, that you must not desert us just because you think we have blundered, after all these years of work and sacrifice together in a great and inspiring cause,” Few wrote. “Believe in us and give us a chance, and it will all come out right in the end.” Kilgo also wrote to Andrews that Bost was a paid publicity agent of the University. Dallas Newsom, treasurer of Trinity College, wrote to Kilgo that in December 1916 that the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees authorized a payment of $20 a month—almost $420 today—to Bost for “his services in giving publicity to the College during her quarter-centennial.” “The kind of publicity that we have all gotten has been a disgrace to the newspaper profession, and must react on the profession,” Newsom wrote. “All of this business has been a deep grief and regret to me. It pains me to know that you have been made to suffer at the hands of those who should have borne you a heart of gratitude.” On November 21, 1917, the Board of Trustees approved Kilgo’s resignation. Few and Newsom both expressed to Kilgo in letters that history would vindicate his actions. “The time will come when all this will appear to you in better light,” Few wrote. “It is inevitable that you should have disappointments in the College as in every human being and in every institution in the hands of human beings. But you are going to find that the College will always wear an appreciation of your services your devotions, and your faiths, in its very heart of heart.”

Ushering in the 93rd

elcome back to Duke and happy first day of classes! As Duke officially begins its 93rd academic year, the Editorial Board will commence our own 11th year as an independent department within The Chronicle by highlighting news and other noteworthy events from the interim summer months. Outside of the Gothic Wonderland, both nationally and internationally, the news cycle during the summer months was saturated with a whole host of political controversies centered around Trump’s White House and a stalemated Congress. The raging debate over healthcare dominated the news cycle for a few weeks during the summer as Republicans and Democrats clashed over the Affordable Care Act. High stakes drama in the Senate drew a strong partisan line, with the exception of a few Republicans who defied party-based voting and ultimately ended this latest attempt to repeal the Obama-era legislation. The threat of white supremacists, as well as the counter-protests popping up nationally to challenge them, continues to be widely discussed by journalists following the tragic events of Charlottesville, leading many local communities to ponder what would happen if throngs of Neo-Nazis showed up in their towns. For Durham, that question was clearly answered earlier this month. In the White House,

onlinecomment “And just who is Takiyah Thompson to decide, all on her own, that the city of Durham must bend to her will? If I decide that I’m offended by some statue that she likes can I remove it of my own volition? ” —Howard Ellis, on the Aug. 27 editorial “Bringing down Mr. Lee”

the Trump administration continued to be plagued with blunders and public embattlement. From failing to decry white nationalists to a consistently high turnover rate of staff, it has been a rocky summer for the commander-in-chief. Moreover, national politics aside, back at Duke a more local political transition took place within the offices of the Allen Building early last July. After officially serving as the 9th President of Duke University for 13 years, Richard H. Brodhead officially stepped down on July 1st, and conceded the position to Vincent Price, former provost at the University of

Editorial

Pennsylvania. President Price’s first major decision of his Duke tenure–to remove Robert E. Lee’s effigy from the Chapel–was greeted with both praise and disdain by university students and alumni. Undoubtedly, as with Brodhead before him, President Price will have to confront many other future campus controversies in a similarly decisive, effective manner. Despite the dearth of students on campus, the university experienced many noteworthy events and controversies this past summer. Many students have been following the story of the suit filed by a Duke graduate student against the university for

mishandling her rape case involving the partner of a Women’s Center employee. This has contributed to the ever-growing conversation around sexual assault and the increasing visibility of how disturbingly common it is on campus. In labor news, the newly minted union for Duke’s contingent faculty, after months of bargaining and negotiating, finally won several demands made to the university. These included higher wages, access to more resources within the university and longer contracts. The Graduate Student Union also saw wins as well with continuation fees for sixth years being eliminated and free gym access expanded for graduate students through their fourth and fifth years on campus. After an eventful summer news cycle, many at Duke probably are content to situate themselves back on campus for what will be another momentous, noteworthy year at the university. As in previous years, the Editorial Board will continue to comment on a wide variety of news topics with the ultimate aim of facilitating important discussions within the Duke community. We hope you will join us for the rest of the academic year as we continue our goal of promoting campus discourse through our daily editorials. Editor’s Note: This editorial was written by the Editorial Board chairs.

The Freshman 15 (Tips)

uke Launch’s motto is “Better members. Better Groups. Better Duke.” Our goal is to help people connect with groups that interest them, help groups have more impact on campus, and help students navigate their student involvement experience overall. 1. Go to the Fall Activities Fair this Wednesday (Aug. 30) between 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the East Campus Quad! Hosted by Duke Launch, the Activities Fair brings together representatives from almost all of the groups and activities on campus. Go around to the different tables, chat about what the groups do, and grab some of the free food and stuff (no such thing as too many stickers). Remember to stay hydrated at the water truck too, it can get hot! Like our event on Facebook for reminders and updates about the Fair. 2. Find a Launch agent. The Fall Activities Fair can be a bit overwhelming, so if you have any questions about where to go or what to do, feel free to ask an agent wearing a teal Launch shirt. We will be working in one of the two Launch tents near the bus stop and across from Marketplace. We will have maps and lists of all of the groups attending and special folders for firstyears with extra advice on how to get involved. 3. Research Potential Groups. Head over to dukegroups.com to see all of the registered groups on campus. You can search topics you’re interested in like “finance” or “animals” and all relevant groups will appear. You can also see events happening on campus and filter those by things like “free food” and “free stuff.” There should be contact information for the president of each group on their pages too, in case you want to proactively reach out. 4. Take your time, be yourself, and don’t stress. It’s about fit! You don’t have to get involved with everything at once, and often better opportunities for you will appear throughout the year. Don’t be afraid to join things as an upperclassman. 5. Look out for tables during the year and the Spring Activities Fair. Groups will often set up tables outside of Marketplace, West Union and the Bryan Center. These are also great ways to learn about what groups do. Additionally, Launch hosts another fair in the spring that’s more focused on newer groups. 6. Talk to upperclassmen. If they aren’t in the club you’re interested in, chances are they know someone who is and can connect you. Also, talk to your FAC and RA! They’re there to help you, and will have a lot of advice on campus involvement. Another way you can meet upperclassmen is by... 7. Participating in the Amazing Launch! Every year, Launch runs a workshop that combines extreme sports (rock climbing, ropes courses, adventure!) with leadership training. You can meet other leaders and future leaders from around campus, connect, and learn... and it’s also super fun! Like Launch on Facebook or Instagram @dukelaunch to be notified

about applications. 8. Do talk to as many people as possible at the fair. Don’t just sign up for the list serv(s) but have a conversation. Ask real questions. Make sure you set aside a decent amount of time after or in between classes so you don’t feel rushed. You’re not going to be able to cover it all, so ask for the representative’s email if you need to move on but want to get follow-up information. If you are with a friend, don’t be afraid to split up and discover different groups. Sticking with them might prevent you from talking to more groups. 9. Go to meetings. The best way to figure out if you’re going to be a good fit is to try it. If you’re nervous going in alone, bring a friend with you, or even tag along to meetings they’re going to. It’s also OK to do something for one semester, and realize it is not working out. You can drop it later on. 10. Know your schedule and plan your groups around it. Be realistic. If you’re a pre-med/BME student you probably can’t also do a club sport, Duke Student Government, sing in an a cappella group and volunteer at the hospital. Also, be mindful about your future commitments (tenting, recruitment, studying abroad, working on campus. etc.). 11. Attend a Launch workshop. Throughout the year, we run smaller workshops like “Public Speaking” or “Transitioning” to help students and clubs and learn about different resources on campus. We also advise for people interviewing for positions within groups. 12. Don’t just repeat your high school experience. Branch out. Step outside your comfort zone. Tryout even if you think you won’t make it. Never danced before? Go for it! Join a culture group that’s different from where you grew up. You never know what you might get really into. 13. But do what you’re good at. Don’t feel forced into joining a group that you don’t like just because it looks good on your resume. The more passionate about something, the more you’ll want to be involved, and the more you’ll get out of it. Being fully involved helps you develop critical soft and transferable skills that will serve you for the rest of your life. Look at group involvement as adding to your holistic Duke experience. Do it for you! 14. Schedule an Appointment with Launch! Launch does one-on-one appointments so you can get personalized advice on how to get involved! We also help executive boards pinpoint their problems and craft a plan based on their needs, run/plan group retreats, and meet with new groups trying to be recognized or chartered by SOFC. 15. Start your own group. Don’t see anything you like? You can start your own club. Head over to dukelaunch.org to find out more! Duke Launch can be reached for any questions at dukelaunch@gmail.com.

The iAddiction

woke up recently to a realization. I am addicted to my iPhone. It’s as if I’m addicted to alcohol, sugar, heroine or cocaine. It’s in my hand within seconds of waking. I carry it with me everywhere and worry when the battery life is getting low as if it were a small child that hasn’t been fed in days. My father has been warning me of it for some time now, but I always took it with a grain of salt (in other words, I ignored him). Well, I was wrong to do so. Now, the journey to break my addiction is going to be ten times as hard because I’m so far down the road. It’s not entirely my fault, of course. Our smartphones (and especially the apps we download onto them) are engineered to be addictive. They have become virtual ATMs for technology companies, who make money by capturing our most valuable assets (our time and attention) and auctioning them off to people who want to sell us things. Still, I need to take responsibility for the fact that spending an average of more than 4 hours per day

a data nerd and that’s how I approach selfimprovement) I’ll have to break out some hypothetical calculations by running some imaginary time-management software. Math time… Query: “What is the least amount of time I could spend on my phone today?” Calculating…Allocating time to business… 45 minutes to create quality content for social media marketing campaigns….1 hour to farming engagement…30 minutes to networking with other businesses… Allocating time to pleasure… 1 hour texting friends…30 minutes of mindless browsing… Totaling…3 hours 45 minutes. Minimum. If I’m awake for a total of 16 hours (24 hours in a day minus 8 hours of sleep), that means that I will spend a MINIMUM of 23 percent on my phone. Probably more, because my estimates were on the conservative side of realistic. Not very encouraging. My current goal is “No more than 15% percent of my waking hours is spent on

DukeEngage inspires gratitude, not much else

recent survey conducted by the Duke University Office of Global Education reports that 96 percent of DukeEngage participants would rank their trip as their “most important college voluntarism experience.” Started in 2007 as a way to get undergraduate students out into the world, DukeEngage has since sent thousands of participants worldwide to complete over 1 million hours of community service. The program, virtually unmatched by any other school in the country, has received much public commendation and is frequently cited as a top reason why high school students apply to the university. “It’s really important for our students to get hands-on experience,” said Professor Emily Lee, a longtime mentor of the program. “We all hear about privilege and these third-world countries

MORE PERCENT EFFICIENT

NOT NOT TRUE

(I have an app that tracks my screentime) staring at my smartphone is, in a phrase, “not good.” One of the biggest problems with my addiction is how it warps my perception of time. I woke up this morning, logged onto Instagram and spent 30 minutes browsing photos and it all passed in the blink of an eye. I had the experience of “resurfacing” out into the real world as I changed my focus from my glowing phone screen and realized that the clock had gone from 6:10 a.m. to 6:40 a.m. without my even realizing it. Technology zones us out. For me, it shuts my brain off so that even when I feel like I’m doing things I’m not really experiencing things. 30 minutes of my life disappeared into a black hole this morning, and it honestly frightens me. In the wake of that experience, a question grew in my mind—“What is the minimum amount of time I could spend on my phone in a day?” Well, hypothetically the answer would be “zero time”, and I would turn my phone off for the entire day and go live like Tarzan and be happy in the African jungle ruling over a tribe of apes. Realistically, that isn’t quite so possible. One of my businesses, for example, is a digital marketing consulting agency, which means that I have to spend at least some of my time every day on social media creating content, posting, farming engagement, networking with other businesses and so on. I also have friends who I have ongoing text conversations with on a daily basis and if I just suddenly shut them out I wouldn’t want them to worry. Of course, my addicted brain is not on my team in this fight. It’s just looking for reasons to keep me on my phone, which is why it’s so easy to come up with reasons to keep my phone on, near me, and sucking away my brain like an illithid in the Underdark (if you don’t get the reference, don’t worry—my Dungeons and Dragons homies did). In any event, if I want to break my addiction (which I do, because realizing that I’m living less than half of my life in the real world is jarring and scary) and I want to do it in a way that is mathematical and long-lasting (which I do because I’m

my smartphone,” which totals to around 2 hours 25 minutes. So somewhere I need to shave off more than an hour of phone time. Considering that I’ve been spending more than 8 hours on my phone each day in the last week (what with social media, TV-watching and reading Kindle ebooks), this will be a trial by fire. Let’s run another program. Scraping lifestyle for data… Reallocating time from device to outside activities… Purchase software to automate engagement farming (saves 30 minutes)… Make friends aware of my goal and spend time in person instead of texting (saves 30 minutes)… Eliminate mindless browsing (saves 30 minutes)… Total savings: 1 hour 30 minutes. New daily phone time: 2 hours 15 minutes. In the background, as I battle my addiction, I’ll be running some other experiments on my iDevice. Experiment: To reduce clutter on my phone (it’s currently filled with apps I don’t use), I will move all of my apps into an “unused” folder. If I use an app between now and next week I will move it out of that folder and onto my home screen. Otherwise, at the end of that time, I’ll delete it. Experiment: I will turn my phone off until I have an express purpose to use it. Experiment: I will not keep my phone on me but in another room to make it easier not to check it every 30 seconds. Breaking any addiction is difficult. I’ve never had any others, so I’m not sure, but I feel as though getting away from my smartphone will be especially hard because it’s not something I can just cut off cold turkey. To live in the modern world requires a connection to some sort of smart device. Weaning myself off of my iPhone is going to take some doing, but hopefully I can manage it. My goal, as ever, is to live life on my terms. Transforming my smartphone from a drug into a tool is just one step in that journey.

in class and in the news, but the eight weeks that students spend in these communities allow them to connect these ideas to the real world. They’re not just going abroad; with nothing but their tents, passports, and credit cards, they learn just what it’s like to spend your whole life in poverty.” Lee added that in addition to a comprehensive training program prior to departure, showing off language skills to the natives, flashing American currency and taking plenty of photos for Instagram are all integral components of the DukeEngage experience. But her sentiments aren’t just wise words from a longtime mentor; many veterans of DukeEngage service trips echo the same thoughts. “DukeEngage was meant for me,” a recent returnee from Ecuador said. “I was the President of my Key Club and I was in a national service society all four years of high school, so when I got to Duke, I was really thinking about what service program should go next on the list. Once I read the DukeEngage pamphlet, I was hooked!” The student went on to say that his eight weeks were spent learning about how public health and human services impact the country. “Plus, as an engineer, it really opened my eyes to the outside world. Did you know some of them don’t have Internet?” Another reflected on her trip from a year ago. “Look at this,” she said, pulling up a VSCO photo of a village as tears formed in her eyes. “Look how dirty it is. How poorly kept. We were there like, what, eight weeks? But these people live there. They can’t leave; they don’t have a choice. It’s just…it’s sad.” The student looked down for a minute, a tear running

down her cheek as she gazed pensively at the meticulously edited and carefully filtered photo. But, as the program directors emphasize, it isn’t just seeing poverty that helps Duke students grow—it’s about experiencing poverty. “I was walking around at night,” remembers one junior, “just minding my own business, taking pictures of the African night life, when this guy runs by and shouts at me!” The Economics major recounts that, yelling in a ‘scary’ voice, the ‘big man’ then proceeded to “grab [the] camera out of my hand and run away! It was so f*****g scary—just like that, my life flashed before my eyes. Can you imagine living in fear of that every single day?” The student shook his head in bewilderment and stood in shock for a minute before adding that the story did, however, fit really well with the

internship essay question, “Describe a moment where you faced injustice.” Multiple interviewed students also recounted tales of health episodes abroad. “I got a rash on a weekend hiking trip, but they didn’t have any treatment cream at the village bazaar,” tells one sophomore volunteer. “It was freaky—I mean, it went away after a few days, thank God, but the fact that that happened really says something about the medical care they have. It’s literally nothing like anything I’ve ever seen here in the States. I literally sat on my cot with my arm wrapped in my recruitment shirt that I soaked in water—like, really primitive medicine. It’s just like, objectively, the worst.” All in all, the DukeEngage program is a vital part of the college volunteer experience: giving students the experiences of truly living in poverty, before they make the journey back to their modest, middle class apartments on the Upper East Side. And without this program, Duke wouldn’t be producing so many students who care about sharing their priviledg blessings with others. Remarked one recent Duke graduate, “DukeEngage has stayed with me even now—I still tell stories about it to my colleagues at McKinsey. It was just the perfect way for me to get out there and take part in the voluntarism I’d talked about for all those years.” When asked about her favorite service experience in Durham, she declined to comment. Monday Monday brought home three baby anacondas from their DukeEngage trip, hoping to become the ‘Mother of Anacondas.’

But Brian White FORD 0 might be able to DUKE 3 change that this year. After blanking Central Florida 2-0 Friday night, the Blue Devils continued their winning streak with a 3-0 win against Fordham in the John Rennie Nike Invitational at Koskinen Stadium. Duke outshot the Rams 18-4 en route to its fifth consecutive Invitational title. After a productive summer with the New York Red Bulls U-23 squad in which he scored 17 goals in 14 games, White led the charge for Duke. The senior midfielder commanded the tempo of the game, taking two shots in the first half and four in the second. “He has a lot of confidence now,” Blue Devil head coach John Kerr said. “Scoring so many goals over the summer gave him the confidence to feel that he can score in any game, whether he’s

He wants to make it in the pros—this is his time.” After missing an open look with a header just wide left, White got his first goal of the season in the 52nd minute. Freshman Daniel Wright crossed to the senior Blue Devil to the left of the net, and White dribbled through Fordham’s

disorganized defense straight at goalkeeper Rashid Nuhu. A fake to the right opened the frame just in time for White to find the back of the net on his third shot attempt of the night, putting Duke in front 2-0. “[The match] was very promising,” Blue Devil head coach John Kerr said. “We still have a lot of work to do, but

I’m very happy with the back three and the goalkeeper. Will did a great job organizing and talking. We rode our luck at times—we had a couple of opportunities to give away goals—but luckily they didn’t capitalize. I’m happy with the overall performance and look forward to building on it.” Shrugging off another missed clean look in the 60th minute, Duke’s 2016 Offensive Most Valuable Player made a spectacular shot in the final 10 minutes of the contest. Playing off a throw-in from sophomore Max Moser, White took a few dribbles near the right corner of the 18-yard box before striking a spectacular shot above the Rams’ defense inside the top left corner of the net, sealing the score at 3-0 in favor of the Blue Devils (2-0-0). “I swung the player and I just looked up on goal and saw I had a shot,” White said. “I just tried to place it in the top corner.” Although White sealed the match for Duke, the Blue Devils found an early lead thanks to sophomore Daniele Proch. After Fordham’s Janos Loebe committed a foul in the 14th minute, Proch was granted the penalty kick, firing a shot to the left side just out of See M. SOCCER on Page 9

It was just that final piece, whether it was a final basic skill that had to be there or a final run that had to be there, we were just missing it,” Blue Devil head coach Pam Bustin told GoDuke. com. “They didn’t let that frustrate them. They knew we were moving the ball well, they knew that we had our opportunities, so it was a matter of just kind of regrouping at halftime and focusing on the finish.” Senior back Alyssa Chillano started the scoring with a shot off a penalty corner in the closing minutes of the first half, and fellow senior Ashley Kristen doubled the lead with a goal from the middle of the field

Winston Lindqwister The Chronicle Without last year’s offensive and defensive backbones, questions swirled around the Blue Devils entering the fall on whether they will have a chance at the postseason after falling short of an NCAA tournament bid for the second straight year. But with freshmen and seniors alike stepping up in the season’s first weekend, Duke is off to a strong start in a challenging non-conference slate. The Blue Devils saved four straight DUKE 3 match points in a 2 dramatic five-set win CSU against Colorado DUKE 3 State to open their Friday at 2 season UCF Moby Arena in DUKE 3 Fort Collins, Colo., followed by another 0 five-set win against UNC Central Florida and a sweep of Northern Colorado Saturday at Bank of Colorado Arena in Greeley, Colo. “It’s really exciting,” Duke head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We came up just short last year for an NCAA tournament bid. The upperclassmen have been working forever trying to get back there.”

In the opening match of their trip to Colorado, Duke (3-0) held off the Rams (11) 27-25, 20-25, 30-32, 25-20, 20-18 to steal a victory from Colorado State, which received votes in the preseason rankings and played in the NCAA tournament last season. The Rams controlled the beginning of the opening set, holding a 19-14 lead before Nagel’s squad responded with a threepoint run to cut the difference to 19-17. A clutch block from junior Leah Meyer and sophomore Samantha Amos tied the set, but the Rams secured two set points before Blue Devil freshman Payton Schwantz extended the set with a kill both times. Duke capitalized on a Colorado State error to take a 26-25 lead, and senior Cadie Bates—who had 20 kills in the match— closed the frame with a kill. However, the Blue Devils committed several miscues in the second set, only hitting .028 to let the Rams even the match. The third set was a bitter back-andforth, with both teams trading kills for 18 ties in the frame. Duke squandered six set points, and Colorado State used a kill and a block to win 32-30 and take a 2-1 advantage in the match. The Blue Devils trailed yet again in the fourth set 12-9 before finally finding their See VOLLEYBALL on Page 10

The junior scored four goals in nine games last year before missing the last 14 contests with an Achilles tendon injury, and through four games this year, she already has two. For a team that struggled to convert shots into goals last year, Duke changed its ways in the first half by scoring twice on only four shots against Old Dominion (2-2-0). Last season, the Blue Devils averaged 11.3 shots per goal, and still have room to improve this year having only brought that rate down to 10.8 shots per goal so far. The scoring could take a hit without the presence of Mia Gyau, though. The sophomore was on the ground for several minutes Friday against Bucknell with an apparent knee injury. “We’re not quite ready to release everything,” Church said about the injury. “But she got injured seriously on Friday night, which we miss her a great deal.” Gyau has not recorded any points this year, but scored once in the NCAA tournament last year and recorded an assist in 2016. She was the seventh-ranked incoming freshman last year, and the Blue Devils have been using her both on the attack and defense due to her speed on the wings. The Blue Devils are back at home this weekend for the Duke Nike Classic, playing UNC-Wilmington Friday night and No. 20 Auburn next Sunday for a chance at their first ranked win of the year.

footing with an 11-4 spurt to take the lead. Thanks to sophomore Natalie Schilling—who contributed six kills in the set—Duke leveled the score with a 25-20 victory. On the brink of defeat in the final frame of the evening, Duke fought back from a 14-10 deficit to tie the match at 14. The teams alternated points until the score went to 18-18, when Leah Meyer and Bates contributed the final two kills to secure the win. “This weekend is a result of the hard work and effort of our team to come together,” Nagel said. “It was a weekend of quality competition.” The Blue Devils followed their success against Colorado State with another marathon victory the following afternoon, this time against Central Florida (1-2) by a score of 25-18, 15-25, 25-17, 23-25, 15-8. Duke commanded the first set, hitting .387 and finishing the frame on an 11-4 run. The second set was a far greater challenge, with the Knights taking the early lead at 9-2 and never letting the Blue Devils get much closer. Duke surged yet again in the third set to take the lead once more, hitting .407 as a team, and although Central Florida secured a narrow fourth set, the outcome of the deciding fifth set was never in doubt. Throughout the match, the Blue Devils shined on defense, with Bates notching 18 digs and senior co-captain Nicole Elattrache taking 15. “The team did a great job taking it one match at a time, one point at a time, one touch at a time, and working together and supporting each other and playing for each other,” Nagel said. “We were mentally very solid.” Just eight hours later, Duke closed its Colorado campaign with a quick 25-8, 25-18, 25-19 sweep of Northern Colorado. Bates led the Blue Devils once again with 13 kills. Duke dominated the first set with a .533 hitting percentage and never forfeited the lead. The final two sets were more competitive, but though the Bears (0-2) finally found themselves ahead at 10-9 in the third set, Duke broke a 9-2 run to cruise to the win. After the busy weekend in Colorado, the Blue Devils will return home to Cameron Indoor Stadium to play UNC Wilmington Friday at 10 a.m. followed by a match that same day against Northwestern at 7 p.m. in the Duke Invitational. The Blue Devils will then close out another long weekend with a home match against South Carolina Saturday at 3 p.m. “Hopefully, we will play well and play together,” Nagel said. “There’s a method to the madness as we put our schedule together where we put ourselves in the best position possible for the end of the year and NCAA selection.”

F. HOCKEY from page 6 circumstances,” Bustin said. “The more she continues to take those risks and to practice it, the more dangerous she’s going to become.” William & Mary goalkeeper Morgan Connor had to make 11 saves amidst Duke’s offensive onslaught, and midfielder Erin Menges also made two defensive saves in front of the net off Blue Devil shots. On the other end of the field, the Tribe (0-1) were unable to stage many serious counterattacks to threaten redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Sammi Steele, who had to make just one save and was helped by Jillian Wolgemuth’s defensive save to register her sixth career shutout. William & Mary earned just two penalty corners to test Duke’s defense. It was a welcome change defensively for the Blue Devils (1-0) after the way they opened the season last fall in an 8-4 win at home against William & Mary—the Tribe had nine attempts on goal in that contest. “Our press was really strong. I think it included all our lines,” Chillano told GoDuke.com. “We were all connected, and I think the intercepting and staying strong on the ball really helped our defense tonight.” Duke will face its first major tests next weekend in the Big Ten/ACC Cup in Lancaster, Pa., with games against No. 6 Maryland and No. 14 Northwestern. “This was a great first game to start,” Chillano said. “I don’t know if we’ll play many more games as physical as this one, but now we’re ready for anything I think going into the season.”
