wrote in a statement distributed to onlookers and read out during the event. “Their acts normalize a system that enacts brutality and violence against low-income communities and communities of color—right here, down the road, in Durham.” The protestors, who declined to comment, called for the abolishment of the prison system in the United States. They argued that local, state and federal prisons in the U.S. facilitate the mass incarceration of people of color.

Duke’s campus will host an early voting site in the Freeman Center for Jewish Life March 3 through March 12. Early voting was held in the West Union during the 2008 and 2012 elections, but because of construction, it will not be able to host the voting this year. Hours will vary throughout the week. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, said that administrators and students worked diligently with the Durham County Board of Elections in order to find another suitable place on campus. “We believe that voting is a very important part of citizenship and a student’s education,” Schoenfeld said. “We worked very hard to facilitate voting and make it as easy as possible for students to exercise this right.” More than 9,000 people voted in both the 2008 and 2012 general elections at Duke. Kerry Haynie, associate professor of political science and director of the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity and Gender in the Social Sciences, wrote in an email that young voters have always played a large role in North Carolina politics— including swinging the state for President Barack Obama in 2008—and pointed out the possibility that legislators are making it

After chanting slogans and reading a statement, the protestors allowed onlookers to ask questions, resulting in a contentious back-and-forth. Protestors and onlookers eventually began shouting at each other before the event ended. “Our fellow classmates find it appropriate to so callously ‘party’ around a theme that has brought pain, suffering and violence into the lives of so many,” the protestors

A 54-49 Blue Devil lead at the time of Thornton’s departure quickly turned into a 63-57 Cardinal advantage with five minutes to play—part of a Louisville 30-12 run to close out the game and put away a tired Duke squad playing its fourth game in 13 days against a ranked foe. “I thought the physicality of the game caught up to us more than the physicality of the week,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “That was the most physical second half we’ve ever been in this year, and we weren’t able to respond at the appropriate level to them…. Just the intensity, the physicality of the game did not lend itself to us with

Brian Pollack The Chronicle LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Just when it seemed as if the bench couldn’t get any shorter for Duke, it did. And this time, the Blue Devils could not survive. Point guard Derryck Thornton suffered a right shoulder injury with nine minutes remaining, and short-handed No. 20 Duke fell victim to No. 18 Louisville’s tenacious pressure in a 71-64 loss Saturday at the KFC Yum! Center. Duke held a double-digit lead near the midpoint of the second half, but the Cardinals forced six turnovers in the game’s final 8:52 and converted them into baskets at the other end, scoring 19 points off of 18 Blue Devil giveaways for the afternoon.

‘Finally able to pursue my dream’: N. Korean defectors detail experience Frances Beroset The Chronicle Two defectors from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea spoke at Duke Saturday about their escape from North Korea, surveillance in the country and the urgency of reuniting with their families. Sam Kim and Bomhyang Lee, two North Korean refugees, spoke to an audience of approximately 200 students and faculty in Schiciano Auditorium in CIEMAS. With senior Ricky Park and freshman John Jeong translating, the students spoke about their experiences escaping from North Korea before accepting questions from the audience. Kim said that he escaped from North Korea to China three years ago, when he was 20 years old. Before that, he worked on a farm. He said he had wanted to join the North Korean military after graduating high school, but that his sister had previously defected to China and her actions had labeled his entire family as traitors, which barred him from the military. “I thought to myself that I had nothing I could do, and I had finally become a labor slave in North Korea,” Kim said. “The most laborious part of farming is planting rice April through June. After work my hands and feet were white because of the water, and I could not stand because of the pain in my back.” Kim said that his whole family was under surveillance for most of his life in North Korea. “After my sister left from North Korea to China, my family was under surveillance. The parents of my best friends were also under surveillance.” Kim said. “So I had to

live for about 12 years under surveillance. I could never express how I felt without being overheard.” Lee, 19, said she left North Korea when she was 16 years old. Both Lee and Kim left North Korea via a route that took them first to China, then Laos, then Thailand and finally to South Korea—a journey that took about two months. Speaking about defectors who lived in China, Lee noted that their lives are more difficult than students might think, “When they eventually get caught by the North Korean police, they get sent back to North Korea,” Lee said. “They might cry

and be really sad, but no one will know that they’re crying. The most important thing we should be doing is understand their situation and cry with them. If the news spreads and the story spreads, the laws might change and the reality might change as well.” Both Kim and Lee still have family in North Korea. “Bringing back my family members is my greatest priority. I think about it every day,” Lee said. “But it’s very hard. There are a lot of money problems and security problems as well. It costs about 15,000 dollars.” The two defectors, who now live in South

Korea, met Duke students participating in DukeEngage South Korea last summer. Through the program, Duke students teach English at Mulmangcho School, a school for North Korean defectors. The students began their efforts to bring Kim and Lee to visit Duke after hearing their stories. Sophomore Andrew Cho, one of the organizers, said he was pleased with how the event went, noting in particular the high turnout. “Our intention was really to promote interest and generate awareness on the humanness of North Korea, more so than how the media portrays North Korea as a dictatorship government and that they’re evil people,” Cho said. “Really, there are millions of citizens who live there, just like the U.S. and just like any other country anywhere in the world. All they want to do is live a happy life.” Kim and Lee will be starting college next month after graduating from Mulmangcho School. Kim will attend Korea National University of Transportation and Lee will attend Hanyang University. “I’m finally able to pursue my dream,” Kim said. Hwansoo Kim, associate professor of religious studies, gave an introduction on North Korea before the students spoke. “Today’s event is part of our attempt to foster person-to-person engagement and also begin reflecting on ourselves,” he said. Lee and Kim are hopeful about the value of dialogue between North Koreans and the rest of the world. “In the Korean peninsula, although it is a very small land, there is a very sad history,” Kim said. “If every one of you develops interest in the story of North Korea, it will facilitate the [end] of the sad story of North Korea. Your interest will be the hope of the North Korean people.”

Mayor reflects on Durham growth after State of the City speech Sarah Kerman The Chronicle Durham Mayor Bill Bell highlighted Durham’s economic progress and laid out goals for the city in the coming year during his annual State of the City speech to the Durham City Council last Monday. He spoke about the opening of four new hotels, increased public-private partnerships in downtown development and efforts to promote mixed-income housing units as indicators of the year’s economic success. He also laid out tasks the city will address during the coming year, including crime prevention and efforts to preserve affordable housing options. The presentation featured a video of city employees highlighting Durham’s 2015 accomplishments to the tune of the Montell Jordan hit, “This is How We Do It.” The Chronicle’s Sarah Kerman spoke with Bell about his plans following his address.

Q & A

The Chronicle: What challenges do you foresee in responding to resident feedback this year? Bill Bell: Questions about time—how soon can you make changes? For example, one area that seems to be of concern was the issue of transportation. Transportation can cover a broad area—it can be public transportation, it can be roads and it can be an issue of congestion. Some of the issues are long-term issues but in terms of hopefully getting the goal accomplished you’ve got to have a plan

in place to make those things happen. TC: Two years ago in your State of the City address you laid out the challenge to begin the city’s poverty reduction campaign. How do you envision the city’s path forward on that campaign in the coming year? BB: In 2014 when I announced the program the next thing we did is we had a meeting where we invited the community to come in. We decided to target certain sections of the city as our initial focus. We did that using census data. We wanted to find which census tracks had the highest level of poverty and we wanted to start there. It’s taken until 2015 to really get us to the point where in 2016 we now have some clear objectives. What we are hoping is that if we are successful in that area with that approach then it’s sort of a template to move to other areas in the city. TC: Is poverty reduction too ambitious a goal for city government? BB: We like ambitious projects. If things were easy, they would have been done. The issue of poverty is a real concern not just for people who are in poverty, but this should be a concern for our city as a whole. We try to do this in a datadriven manner rather than anecdotal. Again while it was initiated in my State of the City address as mayor, it really is a more comprehensive effort because we have county commissioners involved, we have the school board involved. When asked if it is too much of a challenge just for the city I would say yes if the city was doing it by itself but the city is not doing it by itself. We’ve broadened the involvement, so it’s not just a city effort—it’s a county-wide effort.

Chronicle File Photo Durham Mayor Bill Bell is focused on improving transportation and reducing poverty as he navigates his 15th year leading the city. Bell delivered the State of the City address last Monday.

BB: It’s become a more attractive city for people who want to work especially in the entrepreneurial high tech areas. I think the combination of opportunities, where we’re situated in the state in the Research Triangle area, all of these things have come together to make it much more attractive. Durham itself is a very walkable community. You can probably get to any spot in [downtown] Durham walking in about 15 to 20 minutes. What we’re finding is that students who previously may have graduated from the universities and moved elsewhere are now choosing to look at opportunities in Durham. In the past we hadn’t seen that much TC: Durham is now North Carolina’s happen. We are probably the only city that has TC: What role have you had, if any, in the fourth largest city—how do you envision its no ethnic majority... and I think that diversity selection of the new police chief and how is that growth differentiating from the development has come about because persons see Durham as process going to your understanding? of other growing cities in the state? other opportunities.

Transformative Early Childhood Programs

Kathleen Gallagher Tuesday, February 23 3:00 - 4:30 p.m.

Sanford Building, Rhodes Conference Room The Abecedarian Study, conducted at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, provided evidence of the potential benefits of early childhood education for children living in poverty. These improvements in education, health and social wellbeing are manifest in long-term economic and community benefits. Now following some of the original infants into their 40s, the study has consistently demonstrated positive outcomes—both anticipated and surprising. What made the Abecedarian Project so successful? Kathleen Gallagher, a scientist at FPG Child Development Institute, will break down the Abecedarian study findings by focusing on the features of care and education that likely benefited the participants. She’ll examine what we know (and don’t know) about the study and sift through subsequent evidence on highquality programs. She will discuss how features of high-quality early childhood programs can be produced in multiple settings and why their implementation justifies and returns the substantial economic investment. With an eye on what this research means for policy, she will highlight implications for families and practitioners.

Please visit www.childandfamilypolicy.duke.edu to register.

BB: My role has been primarily in the conversations I’ve had with the city manager. Additionally the city manager hired an outside consultant, a search firm to do this. That search firm has spoken to a lot of people throughout the community and has talked to me also in terms of what input and observations I had. I think the process is going well. We’ll be doing interviews and background checks before this comes to the city council. He’s on schedule in terms of hopefully having someone selected by April and hopefully having that person assume the position in May.

EARLY VOTING from page 1 harder for students to vote. “I think the health of our democracy rests on our ability to have more rather than fewer people participating in politics and public affairs,” Haynie wrote. “Younger voters are a demographic group that tends to participate at lower rates than others. Voting sites on college campuses like our own are an easy and effective means of achieving this greater participation.” Freshman student activist Cecelia Mizelle similarly noted in an email the state legislation’s negative effect on student suffrage and pointed out the ability for on-campus voting to counteract this. She cited North Carolina’s new photo ID requirement and the elimination of both same-day registration and preregistration for teenagers turning 18 among other regulations that make voting more difficult for college students. “At Duke, there are a million causes competing for our attention constantly,” Mizelle wrote. “I do believe the vast majority of students care about elections, but sometimes I see that enthusiasm crushed under the combined weight of looming

midterms and unfamiliar bureaucratic requirements.” She noted that North Carolina’s state and local primaries will occur March 15—the same day as presidential primaries— which is during Duke’s spring break. Mizelle worked closely with freshman Jackson Dellinger, a Duke Student Government senator for Durham and Regional Affairs. Together, along with other political organizations on campus, the two held weekly meetings to coordinate efforts to advocate for the site. Dellinger noted that convenience is often a major factor in student’s decision whether to vote or not. “I’ve spent more time making voting easy for students than making it interesting,” Dellinger wrote in an email. “The on campus early voting site is one part of that; radical voter registration another.” Dellinger also noted the possibility of administrative initiatives to incorporate voter registration and a basic overview of N.C. politics into the new student checklist during Orientation Week. “At the very least, every student who comes to Duke will know how they can vote and why they ought to,” Dellinger wrote. “Given how convoluted N.C. voting laws are, this is a huge step forward for having a politically active student body.”

It changes perspective to be able to see things through the eyes of others who have grown up in different cultures, with different sets of attitudes and beliefs.”

PROTEST from page 1 Protestors also criticized Delta Sigma Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma for organizing the event and called for the abolishment of Greek life on campus. One protester held a “rush KKKG” sign. “We call to abolish prisons and abolish Greek life because they both serve to uphold a social order founded on white supremacy, cisheteropatriarchy and capitalist accumulation of power and wealth,” the protestors wrote in their statement. Junior Max Nides, president of Delta Sigma Phi, and senior Kate Eastwood, president of Kappa Kappa Gamma, declined to comment. After reading their statement, the protestors opened the floor for comments from the onlookers. Several students said that although they agreed that the issues raised by the protestors were important, they took issue with points the protestors’ statement or tone. “I’m a white guy who agrees with about 80 percent of what you are saying,” junior Spenser Easterbrook said. “I agree that there are a lot of problems with the criminal justice system. How do you advocate for a position of abolishing prisons? How can you possibly have a society that functions if it doesn’t punish people who break laws or violate the rights of other people?” The protestors responded with a call for restorative justice that focuses on the needs of victimrs, offenders and communities in place of the current prison system, and pointed out that the onlookers became quiet when Easterbrook began to speak even though they were talking when the protestors were reading their statement. The protestors argued that this occurred because Easterbrook was white. Following the event, Easterbrook reiterated that he generally agreed with the protestors, but said that he was disappointed that he did not get to respond after his point was discussed by the protestors. “I think that they have very good points, a lot of them that I agree with, but I don’t think the prison system is inherently invaluable as long these systematic injustices can be eliminated, which I think is possible,” he said. “Obviously they set the rules of this event, and that’s okay, but I thought I had something to say that was valuable and I wish it could have been not a side conversation.” Others argued that abolishing prisons was infeasible and that the party was similar to a game of “cops and robbers” rather than an offensive event. The protestors responded by arguing that the party facilitated mass incarceration by trivializing it. “If you show it over and over again, it gets desensitized. It’s not a joke that you can normalize, you’re making a joke about something that’s not normal,” a protester said. Referencing Tamir Rice, a 12-year old boy killed by police in Cleveland, she added, “Some kids don’t play cops and robbers because some kids get shot.” Some of the protestors discussed the Durham County Jail Investigation team and said that they pushing for a community investigation into the alleged brutality occurring in Durham County Jail. At one point, in response to a question, a protester compared the mass incarceration of “black and brown people” in the United States to the Holocaust, a statement which drew a reaction from the onlooking crowd. “Maybe there isn’t going to be a genocide of 11 million people in Germany and Poland right now in 2016, but brutality happens in other ways,” a protester, who described herself as the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, said. “If you look at what’s happening in prisons, the same kind of experiments that were enacted upon Jewish bodies in Germany and Poland in the 1940s, the same kind of medical experiments, are happening right now. Our products are tested on prisoners’ bodies.” Sue Wasiolek, associate vice president for student affairs and dean of students, appeared at the event and said although while she did not want to comment on the substance of the protest, the protestors had a right to hold a peaceful event and that she would be talking with students. By the end of the event, several Duke University Police Department officers had arrived. Some onlookers thanked the officers for their service. Several onlookers said that they saw the protest as fitting into broader events at Duke. “It’s part of a whole chain of things happening at Duke but sometimes they are getting angry at things that have little relevance,” junior Luis Rodriguez said. The protestors emphasized that they were holding the event as much to educate the onlookers as to bring about change on the issues that they were raising. “We threw this for ya’ll. It’s not an attack,” a protester said. “This was to call-in, to teach-in. We came to help people to learn, to have a conversation.” Amrith Ramkumar, Samantha Neal and Neelesh Moorthy contributed reporting.

EMOTIONS HIGH AS 4-GAME STRETCH ENDS Allen, Krzyzewski whistled for technicals as things slip away from Blue Devils down the stretch Saturday Sameer Pandhare The Chronicle

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—In the first three games of Duke’s four-game gauntlet against ranked opponents, when the going got tough, things went the Blue Devils’ way. Whether it was Derryck Thornton’s late leaner against then-No. 13 Louisville at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Grayson Allen’s buzzer-beater against No. 7 Virginia or the Blue Devils’ come-from-behind victory against No. 5 North Carolina, Duke made the winning plays it needed in the knick of time. Saturday’s second half at the KFC Yum! Center was the complete opposite—things unraveled right when it appeared the Blue Devils were on their way to a sixth straight win. After a 3-pointer by Luke Kennard extended Duke’s lead to 44-31 just three minutes into the second half, the Blue Devils lost their way in a 71-64 loss to No. 18 Louisville that featured just about all the things that could’ve gone wrong for Duke. The Cardinals closed the game on a 30-12 run, including a 22-5 stretch that swung all the momentum in Louisville’s favor. “You have to adapt, and we were not strong enough to adapt to a different environment, and a tough environment, with a team that’s going after us like crazy,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. For a Blue Devil team sorely lacking depth, the series of unfortunate events began at the 13:11 mark when Kennard picked up his fourth personal foul. Already playing without junior Matt Jones—who sat out of Saturday’s game with a sprained ankle sustained against the Tar Heels—Duke was left with an unenviable decision: keep the freshman on the floor and risk fouling out, or resort to an unconventional two-bigs lineup with Marshall Plumlee and Chase Jeter. But as things turned out, the Blue Devils’ choice was made for them, and the answer ended up being “both.” Krzyzewski inserted Jeter for Kennard immediately after the whistle, but the Franklin, Ohio, native returned to the floor a few minutes later, after Jeter extended Duke’s lead to 11 with a pair of free throws. But with 9:18 remaining in the contest, freshman point guard Derryck Thornton was hit hard on a drive to the basket and stayed down clutching

his right shoulder. The freshman stayed on the ground for nearly a minute before heading to the bench at the next stoppage of play and eventually to the locker room. Despite injuries, foul trouble and a frenzied home crowd as the Cardinals rallied back, the Blue Devils found themselves still within striking distance, trailing just 61-57 after three 3-pointers by Damion Lee in a 2:18 span vaulted Louisville into the lead. That was, until Duke lost its cool. Within a two-minute span, the Blue Devils collected two technical fouls—one each on Krzyzewski and Allen. Both technicals came with Duke arguing fouls called against Allen— with the last one fouling him out with a statline of 29 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including five 3-pointers. Without the guard on the floor to make plays and with Brandon Ingram struggling through a game-to-forget with just eight points and 10 turnovers, the Blue Devils were finally all out of answers. “They made good defensive plays, they made a lot of stops and forced a couple turnovers and they’re at home so that kind of played in to it,” Allen said. “The crowd kind of

got going and all the momentum shifted their way and we weren’t able to bounce back and stop them.” For a Blue Devil team that has embraced the challenge of playing heavy minutes with short rotations, it was a moment of mental weakness that sent things crashing down. “[On] my last foul specifically, I just let out my emotions in a way that I shouldn’t have,” Allen said. “In that kind of situation, I have to control them.” Although things got as dark as possible for the Blue Devils during the course of the final 20 minutes Saturday, Duke leaves the Bluegrass State with a few positives in tow. After being ruled out Friday, Jones went through warm-ups before sitting out the game and appears on schedule to return before the end of the regular season, maybe by Duke’s next game, a Thursday home contest against Florida State. Likewise, Thornton’s injury does not seem to be as severe as originally feared, as the freshman returned late in the game and brought his team within two points with a pair of baskets. And then there’s the growth of the team

as Duke transformed from a squad without a win against a ranked opponent to a team that now has three. Thornton and Kennard have grown up in the last 13 days, each delivering key baskets and defensive stops in the biggest moments in recent games. Jeter drew a charge Saturday and scored five points, after scoring just eight total in ACC play entering the game. And although Allen and Ingram had afternoons that might not soon register on their personal highlight tapes for different reasons, both have shown the ability to take over games, giving Duke the luxury of having two go-to scorers when it needs a basket. If ever there was a question about the Blue Devils’ identity earlier in the season, their ability to rise to the occasion against long odds in the last four games should settle any doubts. “Look, we’re 9-5, we have 20 wins, we’re young,” Krzyzewski said. “My guys are warriors. They’ve been warriors the whole season. I love coaching them. I’m proud as I can be of coaching my team. It’s a different Duke team than last year or [Christian] Laettner or [J.J.] Redick or Grant Hill, but it’s a damn good Duke team. And it’s a team that fights like hell together.”

Darbi Griffith | The Chronicle Louisville’s high-pressure defense hounded freshman Brandon Ingram all afternoon Saturday, forcing the swingman into 10 turnovers and holding him to 3-of-10 shooting.

Yellow Jackets topple Duke, stinging NCAA hopes The Blue Devils committed 22 turnovers and allowed 24 offensive rebounds Injuries up and down the roster plague Duke Ben Feder The Chronicle Amber Henson’s Duke career has been marred by injuries, requiring six knee surgeries and months of rehab. So it was sadly fitting that on Senior Day Sunday at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the injury bug struck again, hobbling Henson and several of her teammates as the Blue Devils desperately tried to close out its home slate with a win. But the injuries, along with 22 turnovers, proved too much to overcome, and Georgia Tech dealt Duke a 64-59 loss, stinging the Blue Devils’ hopes of earning a bid to the NCAA tournament. Antonia Peresson led the Yellow Jackets with 20 points—including six of the team’s nine 3-pointers—and Georgia Tech grabbed 24 offensive rebounds that turned into 15 second-chance points, taking advantage of Duke’s lack of forward depth. Henson, Oderah Chidom and Faith Suggs all suffered injuries, but Henson and Chidom later re-entered the contest. “It was a tough game, a hard-fought game, a very physical game. There are some really good things throughout, [but] we just didn’t quite put it together in the sequence that we probably needed to,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “Obviously very, very disappointing on Senior Day, with Mercedes [Riggs] what she has given to the program, and Amber what she has given our program over her time.” With the game knotted at 43 heading into the final quarter, the Yellow Jackets (16-11, 6-8 in the ACC) came out roaring, taking a nine-point lead midway through the period. But the Blue Devils (18-11, 7-8) did not quit, continuing to chip away at the Georgia Tech lead, bringing the deficit to as little as three points on multiple occasions. Freshman point guard Angela Salvadores scored six straight points to trim the lead to 58-55 with 1:51 to

game by a torn plantar fascia in her left foot. The defense clamped down, limiting Georgia Tech to 29.6 percent shooting from the field, but Duke’s turnover woes and inability to rebound enabled the Yellow Jackets to attempt 23 more shots than the Blue Devils. Duke appeared well on its way to a win midway through the first quarter, jumping out to a 10-0 lead behind the shooting of Salvadores and redshirt sophomore Rebecca Greenwell. Georgia Tech shot 1-of-17 in the opening period, but settled into a rhythm defensively by employing a half-court trap that gave Duke fits. Duke’s guards struggled to handle the Yellow Jacket pressure, as the Blue Devils went nearly 10 minutes without scoring. Georgia Tech fed off of Duke’s nine first-quarter turnovers, using a 23-5 run to

With just 1:51 remaining in the fourth quarter, freshman guard Angela Salvadores stepped to the free-throw line with Duke trailing 58-53. On the sideline, freshman Faith Suggs crossed her fingers, praying for a victory on Senior Day. Salvadores made both of her shots. But after Georgia Tech snatched three consecutive offensive rebounds on the next possession, the last glimpse of hope went out the window for the Blue Devils, who suffered a heartbreaking 64-59 loss Sunday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium. After Duke was its own worst enemy in the first 20 minutes with 16 turnovers, the Blue Devils ran into injury problems after halftime in a physical game that left head coach Joanne P. McCallie’s squad battered, bruised and still very much on the NCAA tournament bubble. Duke trailed by as many as nine in the fourth quarter, but toughed out a comeback attempt and cut the Yellow Jacket lead to just three after Salvadores’ free throws. But Georgia Tech senior Aaliyah Whiteside’s free throw made it a 61-57 game with 16 seconds to play, and after Duke responded immediately with a quick layup from freshman Kyra Lambert, the Yellow Jackets put the game to rest with two foul shots by senior Roddreka Rogers, sealing Georgia Tech’s first win in Durham since 1993. With four players already unavailable heading into Sunday’s game—three of them due to injuries—things got worse for the Blue Devils as several key players went down during the course of the second half. The injuries forced Duke to adjust on the fly, but it was not

go, and Chidom answered two Peresson free throws with a lay-up. But the Yellow Jackets made six of their eight free throws in the final 30 seconds to deny Duke a comeback victory. Battling for every inch both offensively and defensively, four of McCallie’s players had to be helped off the court during the course of the game. Salvadores and Henson were hobbled by previous injuries, Suggs sat down after taking an elbow to the head fighting for a defensive rebound and classmate Crystal Primm needed assistance after suffering a leg injury. Six of the nine available Blue Devils played through injuries Sunday, with Riggs, Kyra Lambert and Erin Mathias the only players physically unscathed at the final buzzer. But the Blue Devils plodded on as they remain without leading scorer and rebounder Azurá Stevens—sidelined for the sixth straight

BASEBALL

Second straight walk-off sends Duke past California David Rieder The Chronicle Griffin Conine slapped the ball just inside first base, and moments later found himself being mobbed by teammates between first and second, having just delivered the Blue Devils’ second game-ending hit in less than 24 hours. Duke walked off 5-4 against No. 10 California for the second straight day Sunday afternoon at the Durham Bulls 5 Athletic Park, with CAL DUKE 2 Conine playing the role of the hero. The 5 freshman designated CAL DUKE 6 hitter’s double past the outstretched arms 4 of Golden Bear first CAL DUKE 5 baseman Brenden Farney scored Zack Kone, who beat out a one-out infield single to start the rally before Evan Dougherty—who had the game-winning hit Saturday—earned a walk. The hit was Conine’s first in a Duke uniform. “I don’t think it could have come at a better time,” Conine said. “I hit it really well, just right

in that perfect spot where it was too far for [Farney] to get but also stay fair.” Junior Karl Blum earned the win for the Blue Devils (2-1) with two perfect innings in relief, and Jeff Bain was saddled with the loss. Bain pitched 4 1/3 innings in relief for California (12), at one point retiring 11 of 12 batters before the game-winning rally in the ninth. The series win marked Duke’s first against a top-10 program since taking two of three from Georgia Tech in 2009. “This isn’t one of those series where you come out and say, ‘Well, did we play well or did they play poorly?’ You had two good clubs that played well,” Duke head coach Chris Pollard said. “We feel really good about the way we matched up with them and what that says about the way we have the ability to match up with teams for the rest of the year.” Just as was the case on Saturday, California jumped out to the early lead. Starting pitcher Brian McAfee struggled out of the gate in his first start with the Blue Devils. After spending three seasons on the mound for Cornell, he gave up a single, a stolen base and an RBI single to fall behind 1-0 before recording an out.

But McAfee recovered quickly, inducing a ground ball double-play and striking out Farney to end the early threat. “A lot of guys in that situation, after you give up two quick hits, they want to try to do something different─try to produce a swingand-miss or get a strikeout,” Pollard said. “He did a great job of continuing to pitch to ground ball contact. [He] got the double play, made it a quick inning because of it.” The Duke offense teed off against Golden Bear starter Matt Ladrech in the second inning. Jack Labosky led off with a double before Cris Perez singled to put runners on the corners with no outs. Jalen Phillips then promptly blasted a line drive home run into the right field seats to stake the Blue Devils to a 3-1 lead. Duke threatened to add more runs in the fourth, chasing Ladrech from the game, but reliever Keaton Siomkin struck out Dougherty and fielded a come-backer off the bat of Conine to send the Blue Devils back to the dugout. Each team picked up a run in the fifth inning. California’s Nick Halamandaris See BASEBALL on Page 8

M. BASKETBALL from page 1 the injuries and foul trouble. Not a good combination for us.” The Blue Devils (20-7, 9-5 in the ACC) made a furious last-ditch attempt at a comeback, bringing the score within two with less than two minutes to play thanks to consecutive buckets from Thornton. But Louisville swingman Damion Lee—who led the Cardinals with 24 points—answered with two free throws with 1:03 left to push the lead back to 68-64, and Thornton’s ensuing runner in the lane rolled off the rim. Sophomore Jaylen Johnson then stepped to the line with 41.5 seconds remaining and stuck the dagger in Duke’s comeback hopes with a pair of free throws. Down 12 with 12 minutes to play following a Marshall Plumlee dunk, Louisville (21-6, 10-4) turned up the defensive intensity and employed a full-court press on every Duke possession after using it at times in the first half. The Cardinals promptly went on an 11-4 run as the Blue Devil offense started to crumble, causing Krzyzewski to call a timeout. It only got worse for Duke after the timeout—Thornton hit the ground hard on the next possession and got up grabbing his right shoulder in obvious pain. As the Chatsworth, Calif., native left the game and headed to the locker room, the Blue Devils weathered the storm for a few minutes, but Lee knocked down three straight 3-pointers and Johnson added a dunk to help put Louisville ahead 61-57. “We knew they had a very difficult game against North Carolina [Wednesday]. We just wanted to keep them playing the heat, and we played for our run,” Louisville head coach Rick

Pitino said. “I thought we trapped intelligently. When people went down they made mistakes, but remember they’re coming off a tough North Carolina game, and we knew that.” Freshman Brandon Ingram looked poised for a big game after nailing two triples in the opening two minutes for Duke, but struggled the rest of the way and finished with eight points and a career-high 10 turnovers. Pitino praised Ingram after the game, and pointed out how his squad made a concerted effort to jam and switch defenders on the 6-foot-9 swingman as much as possible. The Cardinals’ relentless full-court pressure and aggressive defense gave Ingram fits, and the freshman just did not have enough left in the tank to overcome their intensity. “Tiredness beat me today,” Ingram said. “We were sloppy and turnovers beat us today.” Before fouling out, Allen continued to shoulder the load offensively for the Blue Devils, finishing with 29 points to lead the team in scoring for the fifth time in six games. The sophomore poured in 19 firsthalf points and connected on 4-of-5 triples to stretch the Duke lead to eight before the halftime buzzer sounded. The game was tied at 24 with 6:37 left to play in the first half, but the Blue Devils rattled off a 13-5 run to put some distance between themselves and the Cardinals. Allen accounted for 11 of Duke’s 13 points in that run, slicing to the basket and knocking down shots from the outside—including a wing triple to beat the clock on the half’s final possession. Junior Matt Jones—who sprained his left ankle in the first half of Wednesday’s win against North Carolina—went through pregame warmups after being ruled out of Saturday’s game by the team Friday, but wound up not seeing the

floor. Jones was not on crutches—as he was after Wednesday’s game—and was without any sort of protective brace, leaving Krzyzewski optimistic as to his availability moving forward. “The progress he made is remarkable,” Krzyzewski said. “When he left the court against Carolina, he swelled up so much. I thought, first of all, there might be a break. We found out the next day it wasn’t, but for him to even suit up today shows that he’s on a good track…I would hope that he’d be ready by Thursday [against Florida State].” Now through its most demanding four-game stretch of the season, Duke gets a little bit of a break before returning to host the Seminoles.

BASEBALL from page 7 led off the top of the inning with a double and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Robbie Tenerowicz. But Duke quickly restored the two-run cushion as freshman Jimmy Herron blasted a one-out double and scored on sophomore Peter Zyla’s single. But in the seventh, another Halamandaris double scored Brett Cumberland to cut Duke’s lead to 4-3. Later in the inning, Preston Grand Pre tied the game with a squeeze bunt. McAfee fielded the bunt cleanly, but Perez could not handle the throw at the plate to tie the game. Things could have gotten worse for the home team, but McAfee managed to limit the damage from there with a pair of grounders to end the inning. “There in the seventh, I really felt like it was his ballgame,” Pollard said. “He had earned the right to stay in there in that situation. He was competing great, he was making great pitches, and what a great job to get off the field there in a tie ballgame. That was an unbelievable play

The Chronicle he made on the safety squeeze. If we squeeze that at the plate, then we’ve got an out right there and the ballgame is 4-3. But he threw the baseball really, really well.” McAfee credited the team’s twice-perweek yoga routine with helping him stay calm on the mound, and had no intention of giving up the ball in that key moment. “I wanted to finish that one out, get back to the mound as quickly as I can so no one takes me out of the game,” he said. “I try to think about it one pitch at a time, try to execute the pitch. I don’t think about the hitter. I just think about where I want to throw the ball, look at the catcher and do it.” Blum entered in the eighth and went toe-totoe with Bain for two innings before Bain faltered. California closer Erik Martinez began warming up after Kone beat out the throw from Grand Pre at shortstop, but after Bain walked Dougherty, Golden Bear head coach David Esquer trotted out to the mound and allowed Bain to remain in the game instead of going with Martinez. The decision to keep Martinez available for a potential save situation in extra innings backfired, as the Golden Bears’ fate was sealed one batter later when Conine came through in the clutch. “What an awesome memory. You’re playing a top-10 team, your family’s here, you’ve had a little bit of a rough weekend─but he’s been taking good swings,” Pollard said. “To get your first career hit in that fashion, that’s something he’ll remember for the rest of his life. That’s something he’ll tell his grandkids about someday.” Duke will not have much time to savor the series win as the Blue Devils get set to take on Campbell Tuesday at Durham Bulls Athletic Park at 4 p.m.

W. BASKETBALL from page 7 INJURIES from page 7 grab a 23-15 lead midway through the second quarter. But in a game of runs, the next one belonged to the Blue Devils, who ended the half on a 13-6 spurt and trailed by just one going into the locker room. Salvadores and Greenwell combined for 19 of Duke’s 28 first-half points, and finished with 19 and 16 points, respectively. “It was great to see people come back and fight and it was great to see people step up when others couldn’t. That’s an important part in the team,” McCallie said. “Starting at 10-0 was fantastic, but we just really didn’t handle that well. We didn’t handle that. We didn’t continue to attack in the same way, turned the ball over and got a little careless, and then you go from there.” The margin could have been worse, but Duke clamped down on forward Aaliyah Whiteside, who entered as the ACC’s leading scorer at 20.2 points per game. The senior had just two points at halftime and eight for the afternoon, but Peresson stepped up in her place and 16 first-half Blue Devil giveaways kept McCallie’s squad from developing a consistent offensive rhythm. Duke will have a full week of rest to get healthy before traveling to Chapel Hill to take on North Carolina next week in the regular season finale. “I think we just need to take this week and really focus on the important aspects we need to work on—turnovers, especially, we need to value the ball more. We can’t have games in which we have 20 or more turnovers anymore,” Greenwell said. “We know what it feels like when we’re playing well together. sudoku_520B [We need to work on] the intangibles.”

enough to pull off a comeback. “These kids have done a remarkable job having to reinvent themselves over and over again as we dealt with some difficult situations,” McCallie said. “So I am very proud of them for that. Adversity strikes, most definitely.... But you play these games because we are trying to get better as a team and as people take those lessons.” After scoring the game’s first 10 points, Duke fell apart against Georgia Tech’s trapping defense, committing nine turnovers in the first quarter that allowed the Yellow Jackets to overcome a 1-for-17 start from the field. The giveaways fueled a 23-5 Yellow Jacket run that left the visitors up by a point at halftime. But if the Blue Devils were bothered by the Georgia Tech pressure in the first half, they were disrupted by their own injuries in the third quarter. With Azurá Stevens out for the sixth straight game with a left foot injury and redshirt freshman Lyneé Belton done for the year after undergoing knee surgery Thursday, the Blue Devils were already undermanned down low heading into Sunday. The Yellow Jackets exploited that on the glass, dominating Duke 24-9 in offensive rebounds, including the three critical boards near the end of regulation that allowed Georgia Tech to run 1:22 of precious time off the clock. Several Blue Devils—including graduate student Amber Henson and freshman Crystal Primm—were helped off the court in the second half after suffering apparent leg injuries. After hurting her foot in the first half, Salvadores fell down once again midway into the third quarter and held her ankle in pain. She left the court to receive treatment but

managed to return and helped Duke close the game down the stretch. Suggs was elbowed by a Yellow Jacket player in the midst of a scrum for a loose ball and did not return. “It’s part of it,” McCallie said. “It’s just a battle out there and everyone is fighting. We try to move on and look for the next person to contribute. Fortunately, it seems everybody came back.” Despite the physical challenge, the Blue Devils drove the ball into the paint over and over again to draw contact throughout the back-and-forth third quarter. Duke trailed by as many as five, led by as many as four and ultimately entered the fourth quarter with the game tied at 43. “I think it’s just staying with what’s working and not breaking out of what we are doing well,” Henson said. “I think there were times [when] myself and others kind of got outside the scheme we were running or the play we were running. I think just sticking with that, no matter if we are up, down or whatever, just sticking with the gameplan is really important.” The Yellow Jackets struck fast in the

final frame with smooth ball movement to scatter Duke’s zone defense and created open looks for outside shots. Down by as many as nine points, the Blue Devils continued to drive into the lane, but did not have enough gas in the tank or time on the clock to come all the way back. Hampered by injuries and unable to rebound at the game’s most critical juncture against Georgia Tech, the Blue Devils may now face their toughest moments of the season heading into Sunday’s regular-season finale at North Carolina, with a win against the Tar Heels and a strong showing in the ACC tournament sorely needed in order for Duke to bolster its NCAA tournament resume. sudoku_520B How they respond to the adversity created by Created by Peter Ritmeester/Presented by Will Shortz Sunday’s injuries—even more bad news for a team already missing its leading scorer and 5 4 3 rebounder—will be key. 2 5 6 “Sports is about learning lessons, life 1 lessons,” McCallie said. “They can be pretty 9 difficult sometimes.

Growing our activist culture

T

hroughout this year, we have lamented the growing violence of disagreement on campus and the seeming endlessness of the increase in volume required to be heard in “debates” that have become more like shouting matches on both local and national stages. These concerns manifested yet again on Friday when the “Kappa Kops” party, an annual incarceration-themed party hosted by two Greek organizations, was protested by a group of students, some of whom were asking for the abolition of both prisons and Greek life. The student protesters sought to address a number of important issues including mass incarceration in the United States, racial inequity in rates of incarceration, the relative lack of diversity within fraternity and sorority life and the normalization of denying experiences allowed by Duke parties and similar events at other universities. During the day and afterwards, attendees of the protest and teachin voiced concerns about how protesters responded to audience questions about their arguments and analogies made between Holocaust tragedies and problems with prisons. When an attendee stated that he largely agreed with the protesters but questioned their goal of prison abolition on the basis of prison injustices, the response to his concern included mention of his race as marker of his privileged

ability to be heard, an ad hominem logical fallacy at best. When another student questioned the false analogy of injustices in the modern prison system and experimentation without consent on concentration camp prisoners in Nazi Germany, he was addressed in a mocking tone. Protesters also fell into the trap of argumentum ad passiones by appealing emptily to the tragic but emotionally charged killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice two years ago. These fallacies undermined the substance that could have been played up to

Editorial attendees, raising questions about the value or counter-productivity of these kinds of protests. It is important for activists to appropriately frame their actions with motivations. Expression of emotional frustration and rational discussion of issues are both appropriate responses to current events. However, without a clear articulation of the goals of a particular dialogue, whether emotional or rational, exchange becomes strained as both sides enter the discussion with fundamentally different purposes. Protesters do have a right to express their emotion and opinion on a topic. However, in order for activism

D

to be effective it must consider its audience and teach even when those it addresses may not feel the same emotional weight of the topic. More effective future teach-ins than what we saw last week would frame positions in advance, publicize the event and ask for attendance from diverse perspectives, then organize moderation that better facilitates an honest process of simply figuring things out. Attendees might advance debate by examining their own motivations critically rather than seeking to promote their own opinions, thus taking the opportunity to lay out the motivations for the conversation or how particular concern can be addressed even when positions seem desperately far apart or explosively reactive. Ultimately, we must all strive to find the ethos and intellect in our discourse with others by focusing on the evidence available, the charitably considered content of our opponents’ arguments and the place from which each argues. Activism adds value to the University community by making understanding possible across differences but must be careful not to prevent us from listening to opponents and missing the point of tempering our arguments through debate. In tomorrow’s editorial, we will discuss the substantive question of mass incarceration, its racial overtones and the real concern of wrongful deaths in our own Durham jails.

No dukie left behind

ear Dr. M, Senior year has been flying by, and now graduation and the real world are speeding toward me faster than ever. Duke sends me an email about every week now reminding me of how many days are left here, and it feels like I’m already being pushed out the door. I’m not the coolest or smartest on campus—do you think anyone will remember me when I’m gone? Thanks! Concerned About Fading Away Dear Faded, I’ve been stoked the past few weeks— Punxsutawney Phil’s lack of a shadow means we’re

years to get an associate’s degree to that creepy Harris Teeter clerk who insists Durham Tech is a “University” is quick to remind you that college is the best four years of your life. With that sort of pressure, it’s easy to understand why we little overachieving Dukies work so hard to leave our mark here. We know that, no matter how much you protest, those frat bros will make the Duke Hall of Fame, whether it be for “Most Ethnic White Guys (fraternity)” or “Fastest Posting Rate on Greekrank.com.” The protestors will live on all across The Chronicle’s website, in pictures with their woven hemp bracelets and signs declaring that Kappa Kappa Gamma should re-charter to Iota Sigma Iota Sigma. But, as

Monday Monday YOU’RE WELCOME speeding back towards the time of year with March Madness and, more importantly, boys on benches without shirts. I was doing my daily rounds past Dsig section, trying to sneak a peek at what I could look like if I swapped my two-topping pizza and cheesy bread dinners for a creatine and soy smoothie. Imagine my surprise when I saw a group of Kappa rejects dancing all over that beautiful bench, screaming about how we should put all the cops in jail instead of the criminals or something. My first emotion, like any rational human being deprived of his Sig-gazing, was anger. Why were the people in the Durham County Jail so upset about a little cop themed mixer? Had Dsig not had the common courtesy to forward the Jail a few pictures of how hot those actual Kappa girls looked? More importantly, where was my invite? (You guys have me on that social listserv, right? The email’s below!) The longer I stayed, the more my anger at the protestors turned to sympathy. I knew the words I heard shouted from that bench would ease the pain of the next inmate beaten by his cis-gendered, heteronormative, patriarchal, white supremacist jailor. More than that, I knew instantly that Dsig’s tyrannical reign over mass incarceration in this country was no more. Once again, these frat boys proved they were all the same, with their raging hard-ons for capitalism and visible muscles and under-loaded course schedules. Ladies and gentlemen, we got ‘em. But what does this all have to do with you and your little legacy on campus, you ask? Despite what the choruses of “NO RAGRATTTSSSS” echoing across Central every Wednesday night would have you think, we’ve all experienced that moment where we wonder what we could have done differently with our time at Duke. Everyone from your weird uncle who took seven

I’ve done all year, the Doctor is out there fighting for the average, everyday Duke student. How can you be sure that Duke will remember you, without making a PowerPoint of all the guys you banged? Just cough up a few bucks. The Duke Annual Fund was created a while ago, and I’m still not entirely sure why—they bring in about one drop in the leaky water conservation pond that is Duke’s budget. The thing they’re great for, though, is making you feel loved by your alma mater. What could make you feel more at home than a raspy Duke student giving you a call once a year, telling you how they love the financial aid they’re being pimped out for, and asking if you won’t throw just a few more of your hard earned bucks in Duke’s coffers? If you’re concerned about where your money is going, the Fund has some of the best financial management on campus. Last year, tuition rose 4 percent, but the recommended donation only rose from $20.15 to $20.16—just a 0.05 percent increase. Wow! And for those of you out there who say, “I’ve already spent enough money on my Duke degree”, hop off your high horse and donate enough to pay for two and a half hours of salary for the parking attendant who tells you to screw off on gameday. So stop eating Penn Pavilion for a few days and use the hospital bill savings to endow a stapler at an ePrint station. Your contribution will make sure you don’t break the yearly tradition of forking over a little dough to Duke—and, after all, that’s how you really stay relevant on campus. Dr. Monday would like to thank the Duke Annual Fund for allowing him to endow the “Research Center for Advancement of Mondays,” located inside of the Bryan Center McDonalds.

ernie Sanders is a literary genius. His platform is all magical realism; suspension of disbelief is a prerequisite to understand the stuff. For every proposed increase in spending, there’s a deus ex machina tax increase. Verisimilitude is not Sanders’ strong suit. Sanders’ work has inspired an entirely new genre of economic fiction. Earlier this month, one economist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst released a report predicting that the full implementation of Sanders’

it is misleading to call it a tax on “Wall Street speculation” when it would affect all investors. After all, how can a tax discern a trader’s speculative intentions? This is not to say that Sanders is somehow especially naïve or dishonest. Sanders’ political positions have remained remarkably consistent over his 25 years in Congress, and his frank style is refreshing in an era of poll-tested soundbites. But to suggest that he is somehow uniquely honest or trustworthy—the myth of the “authentic Bernie”—is ludicrous as well.

ontent Warning: Sexual Assault Can you name Kesha’s last song? Think about it, when was the last time you heard Kesha’s voice on the radio? The dance floor? I’ll give you a hint: you haven’t, not since “Timber.” That song came out in 2013. For the last two years, the pop singer has been embroiled in a legal battle with her producer, Lukasz Gottwald (“Dr. Luke”), over ending her contract with Sony Music.

economic platform would increase median household income by $20,000, more than halve the poverty rate to 6 percent, fuel economic growth of more than 5 percent annually and even turn the federal budget deficit into a surplus by a second Sanders presidential term. The Sanders campaign enthusiastically embraced this analysis and passed its predictions off as fact. Economists squarely on the left— including former Obama advisors Christina Romer and Austan Goolsbee, as well as Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman— have roundly criticized the UMass report for poor analysis and overly optimistic assumptions. As Krugman wrote in last week’s “New York Times,” “Sorry, but there’s just no way to justify this stuff. For wonks like me, it is, frankly, horrifying.” Echoing the sentiment, Goolsbee, referencing an earlier put-down of Sanders’ economic agenda as “puppies and rainbows,” joked last week that those cuddly creatures had since “evolved into magic flying puppies with winning Lotto tickets tied to their collars.” Goolsbee and Romer, both architects of President Obama’s 2009 economic stimulus plan, possess impeccably progressive credentials. Krugman’s columns routinely criticize Republican economic policies. These economists are not motivated by any particular animus toward Sanders or any favoritism for Clinton, but they are instead motivated out of concern for how one rogue economist’s projections could harm the credibility of their profession. Here are the facts: Sanders’ economic agenda would increase federal government spending by more than 50 percent, the single largest peacetime expansion of government in recent American history. One study from a respected Emory University economist argues that, under Sanders’ “Medicare for All” plan, 70 percent of those currently covered by private insurance policies would actually pay more. Sanders’ plan for free college tuition, far from being progressive, would largely benefit wealthy families who are currently paying full-freight at public universities. “The cost of this $75 billion a year plan,” Sanders’ website reads, “is fully paid for by imposing a tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street speculators who nearly destroyed the economy seven years ago.” Class warfare rhetoric aside, Sanders’ proposed financial transactions tax—to call it by its proper name—would not only affect finance-sector employees (“Wall Street speculators”) but anyone who commissions trades on the financial markets, including unionized publicsector employees whose retirement funds invest in stocks and mutual funds. While imposing a financial transaction tax would not be disastrous for the economy,

His platform demonstrates a tendency common to politicians, especially to those contending for the highest office in the land: a propensity to promise more than he could possibly deliver for far less than it would actually cost. Sanders is not special. By distorting the costs of his plans, by bending the truth to win votes, he’s merely behaving like any other politician. One aspect of Sanders’ campaign is beyond all doubt: his commitment to socialism. The Sanders of 1977 produced a glowing 30-minute documentary on socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs (an inspiration, no doubt). The Sanders of 1988 embarked on a selfdescribed “honeymoon” to the Soviet Union (the gulag didn’t seem to trouble his conscience). Until his declaration of candidacy last year, Sanders wasn’t even a registered Democrat; he served as an independent Senator from Vermont and described his orientation as “democratic socialist.” In this sense, Sanders is the most static character in American politics. His socialist worldview has little changed over his decades in public office, while over the same time period real-world experiments have demonstrated why socialism is a failed idea whose time has come and gone. For example, the Nordic countries, which Sanders holds up as exemplars of socialism for the United States to imitate, have dramatically cut taxes and government spending since the 1990s, privatizing previously state-owned companies along the way. Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland all now rank, alongside the United States, in the second-highest tier of Heritage Foundation’s Economic Freedom Index. Furthermore, China’s adoption of free-market principles, such as ending Mao’s disastrous policy of agricultural collectivization, demonstrates the miraculous nature of markets. The United Nations Development Programme notes that China’s market-driven economic growth is responsible for lifting more than 470 million people out of extreme poverty between 1990 and 2005. If that’s not a fundamentally progressive outcome, I don’t know what is. At a time when the world continues to move further and further away from the socialism of the past, Bernie Sanders proposes just the opposite. Perhaps Sanders isn’t peddling magical realism after all. It’s closer to historical fiction. Sanders’ words would be more believable in the Germany of 1848, the Russia of 1917 or the China of 1949. But in the America of 2016, they just sound anachronistic. Too bad so many have fallen for Sanders’ fiction. Socialism is an old story, and we know it doesn’t end well.

Kesha claims that for a decade Gottwald repeatedly sexually assaulted and raped her, in addition to committing physical and psychological abuse. Kesha’s lawsuit describes numerous instances when Gottwald drugged and raped her, called her “a fat f***ing refrigerator,” and told her she was “lucky” to have him as a producer. It seems she wasn’t so lucky, though; a couple years ago Kesha entered rehab for an eating disorder fueled, she said, by Gottwald’s sustained abuse. In light of these horrors, Kesha wants to terminate her contract with Sony so she can record her music free from violence. After a decade of rape and abuse and an eating disorder that nearly killed her, a fresh start doesn’t seem like it should be an enormous request. Evidently it was. Sony denied Kesha’s plea to break from Gottwald, subsequently calling her lawsuit a “transparent and misguided attempt to renegotiate her contracts.” Unless a judge declares the contract void, Sony owns Kesha’s voice until she produces six more albums for the music corporation. For comparison, the 10 albums topping Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list were each released a year after the artist’s previous album. Taylor Swift has only ever released five albums. At a minimum, Kesha would have to stay with Gottwald for six more years to finish her contract. On Friday, though, New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich rejected Kesha’s appeal. “You’re asking the court to decimate a contract that was heavily negotiated and typical for the industry,” the Justice said. “My instinct is to do the commercially reasonable thing.” In the name of commercial reasonability, the music industry, and now the legal system, have decided to force a rape victim to continue working with her rapist. Kesha is being asked to choose between her career and her personal safety. How very reasonable. The legal system may not do anything to rescue Kesha, but that shouldn’t mean the fight is over. Sony has the power to end its contract with Kesha. I imagine if Sony’s biggest stars refused to produce music until it cut Kesha’s contract, she would be free pretty quickly. Adele, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Bruno Mars, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, One Direction and Pitbull are just some of the most famous singers with Sony Music contracts. One collective statement insisting that Sony frees Kesha would make all the difference. Some celebrities have tweeted their support for Kesha, including Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande and Kelly

Clarkson, who herself has worked with Gottwald. While the show of support is important, a few tweets won’t change the court’s mind or convince Sony to end the contract. Kesha needs more than just sympathy. Expecting other celebrities to not only support but also to fight for Kesha is not an unreasonable expectation. 2015 was the year female artists finally embraced the title of “feminist.” Beyoncé performed in front of an iconic backdrop of pink letters spelling

out “feminist.” Taylor Swift gave us all #squadgoals with her posse of female artists. Jennifer Lawrence called out Hollywood for pay discrimination. Amy Schumer took on sexual assault in the military. Emma Watson spoke at the UN about the need to embrace feminism. Where are these feminist leaders now, when we need them most? Being a feminist means more than just wearing the label for profit. It means standing up when a fellow singer is being held hostage. The law, as it so often does, failed Kesha. Through their silence, celebrities failed Kesha. As consumers, we failed her too. We are just as responsible in supporting Kesha. We danced to “TikTok” and “Die Young.” We knew all the words to “Timber.” We screamed her lyrics, not knowing the pain she was enduring to produce music for us. Yet for all our adoration, we didn’t notice when Kesha disappeared. No major news sources reported on her lawsuit. We forgot the words to “Timber.” Occasionally someone at a party asks, “What ever happened to Kesha?” Do we really want to live in a world where major corporations own the rights to a person’s voice, regardless of the violence they inflict? Do we want to live in a world where producers can rape their artists with impunity? Do we want a legal system that shackles victims to their rapists? No, we don’t. We should want a system that doesn’t prioritize money over rape and abuse. The question in this case is not whether Gottwald should go to prison, or even whether he should be punished at all for what he allegedly did to Kesha. The question is simple: do you force a female artist who feels physically threatened by her producer to sing only for him? In answering the age-old question of why women don’t report what happened to the police, we need to look no further for an answer than Kesha. If we want women to report sexual assault, there needs to be some benefit in reporting. Days before the Court handed down Fridays’ decision, Kesha posted a video online of her singing. “I can’t put out new music,” she whispered, “but I can sing a little something, of someone else’s songs, of something that exists.” “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.” #FreeKesha. Sign the petition. Dana Raphael is a Trinity junior. Her column runs on alternate Mondays.
