Young Trustee finalists outline platforms ahead of election Rachel Sereix, Samantha Neal and Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle Editor’s note: The following candidate profiles have been modified due to print constraints. The full profiles can be found online at www.dukechronicle. com. Wills Rooney In his Young Trustee campaign, senior Wills Rooney is emphasizing his variety of experiences as a representative of the student body in athletics, religious life, academic life as well as social engagement. A Program II major, Rooney plans to pursue a one-year master’s degree in theology at Maynooth University in Ireland through the George J. Mitchell Scholarship, which he was awarded in November. He has served as director of the Duke Catholic Center Lecture Series and on The Chronicle’s editorial board, in addition to being a current Chronicle columnist. “I am a very thoughtful and insightful person that thinks about every issue very seriously,” Rooney said. “Duke is not just a research university. Students should come first.” Rooney has proposed a more integrated curriculum as well as potential core classes that would weave together “philosophy, literature, history, the arts and the methods of the hard sciences,” according to his Young Trustee campaign website. Other proposals include greater interactions between faculty and the University’s “spiritual centers” as well as more service projects for students. Rooney said that his experience on The Chronicle’s editorial board has also prepared him for the Young Trustee position. He noted that the editorial board and the Trustees discuss very similar issues and that

he is conscious of the multiple perspectives students have on those issues. Jamal Edwards Senior Jamal Edwards highlights his wide range of experiences at Duke and ideas for future directions in his campaign for undergraduate Young Trustee. Edwards is a Robertson scholar majoring in global health at Duke and journalism at the University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill. He is a member of Dukes and Duchesses—a student ambassador group for the Office of the University President— the former president of the Black Student Alliance and was one of 10 undergraduate students in the nation named a Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellow. Edwards hopes to use the position of Young Trustee to repay Duke for the opportunities it has provided him. “I see the role as an opportunity to be a

trusted steward of the University and after embedding myself in so many different communities on campus, I know I have what it takes to help make Duke’s best, better,” Edwards wrote in an email Monday. If elected Young Trustee, Edwards plans on using his knowledge of student life to inform decisions on diversity and inclusivity, sexual assault and gender-based violence as See YT FINALISTS on Page 5

Students are questioning the recently-announced closing of Grace’s Café at the end of the Spring semester and petitioning to keep the eatery on campus. The imminent departure of Grace’s Café has caused disappointment among students and raised questions about whether Duke Dining and Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee are serving student interests. Some students are taking actions to keep Grace’s on campus by signing an online petition, which has generated more than 700 signatures, asking Director of Dining Services Robert Coffey to

keep Grace’s open. Students have also arranged to talk with Duke Student Government representatives and speak at DSG’s public forum Wednesday, said sophomore Anna Li, who started the online petition. “A lot of Duke students are really upset about this because Grace’s Café, being here for so long, has already become a part of the Duke community,” Li said. “It’s irreplaceable. If we are going to keep one vendor at Duke, let it be one vendor that we can’t get anywhere else, not some chain restaurants you will find everywhere.” Junior Timothy Blumberg, who is also actively involved in the effort to keep Grace’s open on campus, said that he has reached out to student organizations to assist the movement.

“Students are voicing their opinions on this issue and that’s a good start. We will be able to present a really strong case to the administration,” Blumberg said. Although Duke Dining has stated that the closing of Grace’s is due to high maintenance costs and new Asian food vendors in West Union, some students found such reasons unconvincing. “I think the claimed $500,000 renovation fee is probably covering other parts of the Trent Hall, which is unfair to be wholly attributed to Grace’s alone,” freshman Elaine Zhong said.

Ross’ Duke professorship begins amid criticisms of replacement Spellings Jake Parker The Chronicle Margaret Spellings has gotten off on the wrong foot at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before being named the first Terry Sanford Distinguished Fellow at Duke, Tom Ross, former president of the University of North Carolina system, was widely praised for his performance in office, but his successor—Spellings— currently faces a divided and rancorous reception even before her first official day on the job March 1. After the UNC Board of Governors asked for and received the resignation of Ross—which was announced during a press conference Jan. 16, 2015—a search process was launched in order to find his replacement. The board’s appointment of Spellings—who previously served as secretary of education under President George W. Bush—has been criticized by organizations like the Faculty Forward Network and student groups like the Campus Y. ‘A long track record of intolerance’ Spellings’ opponents cite her corporate background and contentious record on issues of inclusivity as reasons the board should reverse their appointment decision. At a Board of Governors meeting last Tuesday, four individuals were arrested during a protest organized by the Faculty Forward Network. “[Spellings] has a long track record of intolerance but also of being a kind of culture warrior within public policy arenas, so she has these clear conflicts of interests,” said Altha Cravey, associate professor of geography at UNC and a member of the Faculty Forward Network. Before her tenure as secretary of education, Spellings served as a domestic policy adviser at the White House. Spellings’ professional experience also consists of extensive involvement in the private sector. She joined the board of directors for Apollo Education Group Inc.—the parent company of

community who say that Margaret is a wonderful person and that she doesn’t have a discriminatory bone in her body,” Bissette said. The corporatization of higher education Faculty Forward also maintained opposition for what it views as efforts to foster the corporatization of higher education. A fact sheet created by the group states that Spellings advocated for the elimination of regulations on funds going to for-profit institutions. The sheet emphasizes her support for the elimination of the 50 percent rule, which required at least half of programs and students to be based on campus for an educational institution to receive federal funding. The removal of the regulation has provided an opening for online for-profit institutions to receive federal funding. The fact sheet also points out that Spellings served as senior advisor for the Boston Consulting Group between 2009 and 2013, during which time BCG consultants’ plan for Philadelphia Special to The Chronicle School reform included closing 60 school The decision to replace Tom Ross—who began a professorship at Duke Monday—with buildings and privatizing unionized Margaret Spellings as president of the UNC system has been heavily scrutinized recently. school support jobs.

DUPD arrests 2 for shoplifting Scholars highlight Staff Reports The Chronicle Duke University Police Department arrested two men for shoplifting from the University bookstore in the Bryan Center Tuesday afternoon. The two men who were apprehended—neither resisted arrest— were not affiliated with the University, said DUPD Chief John Dailey. He said that the men attempted to steal approximately $500 worth of merchandise. Krystal Brewer, a store employee, said that employees saw the men on cameras downstairs, then campus police came. She reported that the incident occurred around 3:15 p.m. “A white guy and a black man in a wheelchair, and they were just Carolyn Chang | The Chronicle riding around the University Store putting stuff in their book-bag, Two men tried to steal approximately $500 worth of hats and stuff like that,” Brewer said. merchandise from the University bookstore Monday.

implications of Arab refugee crisis Gerardo Parraga The Chronicle Experts on Arab governments and Middle Eastern history gathered in Rubenstein Library Thursday and Friday to discuss the refugee crisis in the Arab world. The two-day conference—titled “The Arab Refugee Crisis in the 21st Century”—highlighted the intensity of the situation faced by many refugees today due to corrupt governmental regimes. Local and visiting scholars and students discussed the history of the current refugee crisis and how students can help. More than 50 people attended each session and listened to Skype interviews with refugees who have been forced to relocate all over the world. “Sixty-five percent of the world’s 20 million refugees are coming from the Middle East—this is a universal crisis that is very much comparable to World War II in its extent,” said miriam cooke, Braxton Craven Distinguished Professor of Arab cultures at Duke. Many people do not realize that groups of refugees have ended up in Durham, cooke said. She noted that a key purpose of the academic gathering was to “work as a stepping stone to increase engagement between Duke students and Arab refugees in the Durham community.” A student-led group called INJAZ was founded at Duke for this purpose four years ago and has grown since then. INJAZ helps Arab refugees in Durham by going to their houses and assisting with their needs. Julianne Whittaker—a master in public affairs candidate at Princeton University who attended the event—spoke about her work as the co-founder of the Amal Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes education and skills development for refugees in the Middle East. She helps support Syrian refugees living in Jordan reach their full potential by promoting artwork they have created. While spending a year in Jordan with the 80,000 refugees there, Whittaker found herself surrounded by promising artists. Wanting to help them, she worked to bring their masterpieces to the United States to showcase the works in galleries. “It is very difficult for people in the United States, especially ones who are well-off like college students, to understand the extent of the problem. This is what the art does, it delivers a soul message,” Whittaker said. The artwork helps viewers connect with refugees by transcending cultural and linguistic differences, she noted. Whittaker said she believes that by showing the See REFUGEES on Page 5

time in a recession,” Bissette said. “I would consider him to be one of the finest presidents the University system has ever had.” In an interview with The Daily Tar Heel, Ross said he had intended to stay in the position of president for another three to five years before he was asked to step down. He explained that despite disagreeing with the Board’s decision, he does not believe in personal attacks and wanted to put the University first. Protest movements from groups such as Faculty Forward continue as the first official day of Spellings’ presidency nears. “We’re doing as much education work as we can, we’re organizing on every campus that we can, we’re publishing op-eds, we’re doing research, we’re protesting at the Board of Governors meeting,” Cravey said. “We’re doing everything we can think of.” Those on the Board of Governors, however, have taken issue with the methods of protest employed by the those opposed to Spellings’ presidency. “In [the recent Board of Governors meeting Tuesday] there were profanities chanted, there was actually an assault on a police officer and in a civil, democratic, society, that’s not the way people are supposed to function,” Bissette said. “We were elected by the General Assembly of the state of North Carolina, which was elected by the people of the state of North Carolina, so they may not respect us, but they need to respect the people of the state because that’s why we’re there.” Bissette said that the University should now be looking forward. “The board is now trying to move ahead and look to the future and Tom is too,” he said.

figure out the real reasons for Grace’s closing before taking further actions. Sophomore Hannah Wang, a member of The Chronicle’s editorial board, added that the whole decision process lacked transparency and consultation of students’ opinions. Senior JP Lucaci, vice president of services, wrote in an email that he has invited leaders of the petition to speak to DSG’s Senate during Wednesday’s public forum and noted they would “undoubtedly find a sympathetic audience.” “We just hope that the petitioners remain realistic with their expectations and appreciate the enormous expenditure that would be required of Grace’s to remain in their current location,” Lucaci wrote. “As for potential movement to the West Union, the timing of this announcement was unfavorable as decisions for the West Union were already made.” Zhong said that Grace’s serves as the primary dining option for the Asian and Middle Eastern Studies department staff and students who take Asian language classes at Trent Hall, adding that it would be inconvenient for people there to walk to West Campus for dining. Students also questioned DSG and DUSDAC’s decision not to bring Grace’s into the West Union, having chosen instead East and Southeast Asian food vendor Ginger + Soy and sushi bar Gyotaku. Freshman Hillary Song said that she noticed a lack of Asian representation in DSG after looking through the members’ profiles on the website and considered this a reason why Grace’s

was not selected. “Truly authentic Asian food tastes different from what is regarded ‘tasty’ by the non-Asian community,” Song said. “A ramen bar and frozen sushi are more authentic than mom-and-pop Chinese home cuisine? The lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity here is simply frustrating.” Wang added that Grace’s has been on campus for 18 years and has become a place that has cultural significance to a lot of students. “It’s not just about dining; it is also an issue of culture,” she said. “Every time you walk into Grace’s you would see international Asian students sitting there, speaking in their native language and enjoying the food.”

REFUGEES from page 4 work, she will help spread word about the difficult times refugees are facing. The money made in the galleries helps support the artists and has been used by them for necessities such as education and food. cooke noted that she hopes to spread the word about the refugee crisis as well. “Hopefully [these initiatives will launch] Duke and Duke students into a more purposeful and wide ranging community that we believe will be an enormous resource for us. We have to start seeing the refugees as a resource and not a problem,” she said. cooke explained that other events addressing the problems refugees face will occur in the future. Feb. 8 marks the start of the second Arab Refugees Awareness Week at Duke. Editor’s Note: cooke does not capitalize the first letter in her first and last names.

YT FINALISTS from page 1 well as institutional advancement. Edwards referenced his tenure as BSA president during the 2014-15 academic year as an example of his dedication to Duke. Additionally, Edwards wrote that his other experiences on campus, from being a residence assistant to a member of the club rowing team, have created a perspective that is relevant to many communities on campus. Max Schreiber Senior Max Schreiber said that in his campaign for undergraduate Young Trustee, he wants to build a University that is “even better for the next generation of Blue Devils.” Schreiber is the current president of Interfraternity Council and a former columnist for The Chronicle. Although he supports increasing diversity, Schreiber said he disagreed with recent discussion surrounding the addition of cultural competence courses to the curriculum—which he deemed an infringement on students’ right to free speech. “Max will be committed to bringing up issues that concern a diverse group of students, he will seek to understand areas that he does not know well and will be an advocate for the voiceless,” said Clarybel Peguero, director of Fraternity and Sorority Life. Schreiber also called for increased security on Central and West Campus following recent crimes. After a student was robbed at gunpoint Jan. 25, Schreiber said he went to DSG to discuss an increase of security on campus. He emphasized the need to protect the current housing model and said he opposes “residential college” models—which he said the University might be considering— that would force students to live with the same students during the duration of their education at Duke.

LUCK RUNS OUT FOR THE BLUE DEVILS A critical 13-0 run in the fourth quarter propelled Notre Dame past Duke Hank Tucker The Chronicle Duke proved it can compete with the best in the country Monday night, but will have to settle for another close loss after fading down the stretch. No. 3 Notre Dame rallied from a five-point fourth-quarter deficit and outlasted the Blue Devils for a 68-61 win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Guards Madison Cable and Arike Ogunbowale torched Duke from the outside for 34 combined points and the Blue Devils’ offense did not score for more than six minutes in the fourth quarter as the Fighting Irish seized control. “They finished better in the fourth quarter for sure. It was a matter of shot selection, a matter of covering back in transition, just a matter of things of that nature—nothing huge,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “These games are at the margins and you have to win the margin battle, and we didn’t.” Duke (16-6, 5-4 in the ACC) took its biggest lead early in the fourth quarter when redshirt sophomore Rebecca Greenwell made back-toback shots in the paint to stake the Blue Devils to a 55-50 lead with 7:05 remaining, but Notre Dame (21-1, 9-0) answered with 13 straight points, taking the lead on a 3-pointer by Cable. Sophomore Brianna Turner blocked a

a timeout to extend the Fighting Irish lead. “[Cable] won the game for them. Look at her. She’s a fifth-year senior and she played like one, and without her on the floor, the outcome would have been much different,” McCallie said. “Having the five steals that she had, the [18] points that she had, and the [seven]

With 7:05 remaining, the Blue Devils had put themselves in a position to take down the thirdranked team in the country. They led the No. 3 Fighting Irish by five points on their home court. They were getting key stops on defense. Duke had Notre Dame on the brink—and then it all evaporated. What happened? When the Fighting Irish outlasted Duke 68-61 Monday at Cameron Indoor Stadium, they relied on fifth-year senior Madison Cable to carry the team down the home stretch. The Blue Devils, being a much younger team, adopted a different strategy. Duke looked to its role players to step up and take some of the pressure off sophomore Azurá Stevens and redshirt sophomore Rebecca Greenwell. And, unsurprisingly, the Fighting Irish won out. “Our team is working very hard,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “I think we need to work harder, demand more from each other. We are very hungry and not very happy because we know that we can play better. And I’ll tell you—leadership is an important concept…. We had some good step-ups today, we had some really blue-collar things working for us and that’s

Duke begins life as unranked squad against Georgia Tech Brian Pollack The Chronicle For the first time since 2007, Duke will take the floor as an unranked team. Following an eight-day layoff, the Blue Devils return to action Tuesday against Georgia Tech at 9 p.m. at Hank McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta. Duke Duke’s 80-69 loss at then-No. 15 Miami last vs. Monday—its fourth Georgia defeat in its last five Tech games—sent the Blue Devils tumbling out TUESDAY, 9 p.m. HANK MCCAMISH of the top 25 for the PAVILION first time in 167 weeks, snapping the longest active streak in the country and the fifthlongest run in NCAA history. The week-long reprieve could not have come at a better time for the Blue Devils, though, who have been primarily using only six players for the past several weeks. Duke has not fared well with short turnarounds recently—dropping the back end of SaturdayMonday spurts twice in the last two weeks—

and the extended time off is helping the team to regroup. “Having this time in between two games gives us time to work on ourselves, whereas before with a short turnaround it’s all scouting and preparation for our next opponent,” sophomore guard Grayson Allen said. “It allows us to have physical practices where we get up and down the court and run. I think it will be good for us—practicing like this and the time that we get like this, gives us a chance to get better as a team. You don’t get a lot of stretches like this, so we have to take advantage of it.” Although the Yellow Jackets (12-9, 2-6 in the ACC) have been far from an ACC powerhouse in the last several years, they gave the Blue Devils all they could handle last year at Cameron Indoor Stadium. It took a monster second half from Quinn Cook for Duke to escape with a six-point win, and Georgia Tech kept the game interesting with prolific shooting from behind the arc—converting on 8-of-11 triples while the Blue Devils connected on just 5-of-18. Head coach Brian Gregory’s squad is 9-3 within the confines of McCamish Pavilion this season, and has played nearly everybody close. The Yellow Jackets already

have a home upset of a then-No. 4 Virginia team on their resume and dropped their last two home ACC games by a total of just five points. “I think they’re a lot better than they were last year. I think they’re really good,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said on the ACC’s weekly teleconference Monday. “There are a number of teams in our league that are a few possessions from being a couple of games above .500 and a couple of possessions from being either at or below [.500]. They’ve lost some really tough games, but they’ve been in every game. I think they’ve done a really good job.” Georgia Tech may need to once again win the battle from behind the arc to continue Duke’s woes. Krzyzewski’s team drills 8.8 3-pointers per game—tied for the most in the ACC—and its 38.1 shooting percentage from downtown ranks third. The Blue Devil offense—which features four starters averaging more than 12 points per game—has carried the team for most of the year, but has sputtered during this recent stretch. Still, although Duke (15-6, 4-4) has been held to less than 70 points by three of See M. BASKETBALL on Page 7

What a time Swart back on the bump after surgery to be alive Hank Tucker The Chronicle

This is a weird time to be alive. Yes, we’re in the midst of an...I’ll say interesting presidential campaign. We live in a time in which potato photos are selling for more than a million dollars,. Social media dominates our lives, blah, blah, blah. Times have changed. But, as far as my inner-sports fan goes, this past 12 months, more so than any other, has been the single most exciting time period that has ever existed. The Carolina Panthers, my Carolina Panthers, are set to take on Peyton Manning and the Broncos in Super Bowl 50—a feat that seems fairly amazing considering it’s been 10 years since they made it to a conference championship game and 13 since they made their only Super Bowl appearance. That was a gut-wrenching experience—I live with a couple Giants fans who have had similar regular-season woes. But they know nothing of what it’s like to see their team, one that nobody else thought would make it, lose in the final seconds of America’s biggest game (after the Janet Jackson incident, which I don’t remember because I was 10 but know we have on tape somewhere around my house) because the most evil quarterback in the league got a short field to work with after one of their favorite players (John Kasay) hooked the kickoff. Ultimately, though, the loss was just one of many inevitable defeats that regularly ended Carolina’s seasons. It hurt more, sure, but by 2003, two years removed from the forgettable 1-15 campaign, Panthers fans had more than learned that losing was part of life— welcome to the NFL, young’ns! So, for Carolina fans, even wilder than the Panthers currently being back in the Super Bowl is the fact that they are the favorites. Carolina is supposed to win. The Super Bowl! Never in the history of the Panthers have they been truly favored to

M. BASKETBALL from page 6 its last five opponents, the Blue Devils top the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency, and Allen thinks that could be the key to snapping out of their current funk. “Offensively, we need to take advantage of the weapons we have,” Allen said. “Brandon [Ingram] has been really good for us, and he’s going to keep improving. That’s a mismatch he gives us out there on the court, and especially with the shooters that we have.” The problem for Duke has been its defense, which allowed Hurricane guards Sheldon McClellan and Angel Rodriguez to slice through its 2-3 zone and distribute to open teammates in Coral Gables, Fla., last week. With senior forward and defensive centerpiece Amile Jefferson still sidelined with a fractured

A year later than expected, Trent Swart is ready to be the ace of Duke’s pitching staff in his final season. Swart’s senior season was ripped away from him last winter when he underwent Tommy John surgery on his left elbow, but he is fully recovered now and expects to take the mound when Duke hosts California to open the season Feb. 19. After Michael Matuella—who saw his season cut short last year due to Tommy John surgery—was drafted in the third round of the MLB draft by the Texas Rangers in June and opted to go pro, the onus will be on Swart to carry the load for a pitching staff that also lost mainstays Andrew Istler and James Marvel. “I don’t really notice anything different mentally [after the surgery]. I know I got a lot stronger in the weight room, definitely put a lot of time in shoulder care and elbow care just to make sure I’m healthy coming back,” Swart said. “In terms of my drive and competitiveness and all that, I don’t think much will change.” The 2014 season was a landmark one for Duke, which went 16-14 in the ACC to finish better than .500 in conference play for the first time since 1994. Swart’s 1.76 ERA that season was the second-lowest mark in the ACC, and the Carlsbad, Calif., native took the hill for a critical game against Miami in the ACC tournament in Greensboro when a win would have sent the Blue Devils to the championship game. The 5-foot-11 left-hander threw seven innings and gave up three runs to keep his team in the game, but Duke lost 6-5 in 12 innings after staging a ninth-inning rally to force extra frames. The Blue Devils’ season ended that afternoon, but the foundation was set and the outlook on the 2015 season looked promising with both Swart and Matuella returning. Swart has not pitched in a game since. The graduate student could only watch from the dugout last season as Duke took a step back in its rebuilding process and finished 19-19 in the ACC, failing to qualify for the conference tournament in Durham. While a young team was learning through experience on the field, though, Swart rehabbed tirelessly off the field to be ready for the start of the 2016 campaign. “Trent is cleared and progressing, and we feel like he’s absolutely on pace to be ready by Opening Day,” Duke head coach Chris Pollard said. “Coming back from Tommy John is a process, and some weeks it’s three right foot, the Blue Devils have not been able to find much success stopping opponents with any of the man or zone schemes they employ. Jefferson has returned to the floor in a limited capacity during practice, Krzyzewski said Monday, with the next step in the captain’s recovery to evaluate his response to his on-court activity. Jefferson’s absence has been felt most on the boards, and Georgia Tech—which ranks third in the conference in rebounding margin—is well-equipped to exploit that, led by the ACC’s leading rebounder in Charles Mitchell. Mitchell was a non-factor in last year’s contest, but the Maryland transfer is grabbing 10.7 rebounds per game this season, including more than four per contest on the offensive end. Aside from Mitchell—who also averages 11.3 points per contest—most of the Yellow

steps forward, one step back, some weeks it’s two steps forward and a step back, but he’s doing really well with it.” The recovery has certainly been a process for Swart, who went under the knife in December 2014 and did not throw to live batters for the entire calendar year of 2015. The southpaw finally faced batters in practice for the first time in mid-January, and hopes to enter the season right where he left off in 2014. “It’s a huge shot in the arm for our team emotionally just to see him back on our field. Last week was the first time he’d thrown to batters in almost two years,” Pollard said. “To have him back out there and doing what he loves—it was a big emotional lift not only for him, but for the team.” Pollard expects pitching to be one of the Blue Devils’ major strengths this year, and Swart will anchor a formidable weekend rotation that will include junior Bailey Clark and graduate student Brian McAfee, who is new to the program after transferring from Cornell. Starting pitching depth was a major problem on last year’s injury-riddled team, especially after Matuella was lost for the season in early April. Clark and Istler remained healthy and effective all season, but were the only hurlers that started more than seven games, leaving Duke without a reliable third starter every weekend. Istler graduated last year, but Swart’s return and the addition of McAfee—a first-team AllJacket offense comes from its veteran backcourt. Senior Marcus Georges-Hunt leads the way at 15.9 points per game, and he is joined by one of the conference’s top marksmen in graduate student transfer Adam Smith, who shoots 42.9 percent from behind the arc. Tuesday’s game marks the halfway point of ACC competition, and Duke needs to pick up victories quickly to put itself in a better position for postseason play—and that starts with the Yellow Jackets. “We have to look ourselves in the mirror and figure out what we need to do. As a team, we have to come together even more,” junior guard Matt Jones said. “Our backs are against the wall right now and we just need wins. That doesn’t mean we’re tight or anything, we just have to get better day by day.” Ryan Hoerger contributed reporting.

Ivy League performer in 2015—gives the Blue Devils the depth they have lacked in the past. If these three starters can stay healthy for the entire season, Duke could take a leap forward and meet its lofty goals for this season. Swart is an unquestioned leader of the team, and he is here to win in his final year. After coming so close to triumph in the ACC tournament as a junior. he expects to go a step further this season. The conference tournament returns to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park— where the Blue Devils will play 36 home games per year beginning this season—for the second straight year in 2016, and Duke expects to play and win in its hometown park this time around. A championship win there would mean an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament— which Duke has not played in since 1961. “Winning is the number one thing. I know we want to make the ACC championship and then obviously the NCAA tournament. That’s our goal—I think that’s every team’s goal,” Swart said. “We have the history of our program too, and that’s kind of something we want to break. It’s been a long time since we’ve been [to the NCAA tournament], so that’s our number one goal.” If the Blue Devils are playing for a championship in the DBAP May 29 with Swart on the mound, he would welcome the chance to write a storybook ending to a turbulent tale of resiliency.

W. BASKETBALL from page 6 rebounds that she had, and the lack of any turnovers—it’s that kind of thing that makes a difference. Somebody’s got to be pretty spectacular, and for them, she was.” Lambert scored Duke’s final six points, but Notre Dame made enough free throws to close out the game. The Blue Devils seized the momentum early in the third quarter, flummoxing the Fighting Irish with an aggressive 3-2 zone and holding them to two points in the first four minutes of the third period as they opened the half on a 12-2 run. When graduate student Amber Henson nailed a triple from the wing to trim the deficit to one point, Duke was closer than it had been since the early stages of the game. A timeout by Notre Dame head coach Muffett McGraw could not stop the bleeding, and the Blue Devils took the lead when Greenwell fought through a foul to convert a layup and send the home crowd into a frenzy. Greenwell crashed into the scorer’s table diving for a loose ball soon after and had to miss a possession while Notre Dame re-took the lead on a put-back by Cable. The Owensboro, Ky., native checked back into the game right away, playing with a visible bruise on her right shoulder. “I didn’t really feel anything at the time, so it didn’t affect my play afterwards, but now it hurts really bad,” Greenwell said. “It was just a tough game all around. The rebounds—you had to fight for them, you had to fight for loose balls, but it was a fun atmosphere to play in.” Greenwell turned in a gritty performance to stay on the floor for the rest of the game and led Duke with 16 points and nine rebounds, but missed two free throws with a minute remaining that would have put some pressure on the Fighting Irish. The game went back and forth in the opening minutes with three early lead changes, but 3-pointers by Cable on back-to-back possessions gave Notre Dame an 8-4 advantage midway through the first quarter. Ogunbowale came off the bench late in the frame and made three straight shots to extend the Fighting Irish’s cushion to eight. Notre Dame built its early lead from the outside, but maintained it in the paint. Turner pulled down 11 rebounds in the first half and denied any Duke attempts to venture into the paint with her 6-foot-3 presence on defense. The Fighting Irish outscored the Blue Devils 14-8 in the paint in the first half, and Stevens struggled against Turner’s physicality. The 6-foot-6 forward finished with 14 points, but had just one basket after halftime. Stevens kept Turner off-balance by moving to the perimeter, where she knocked down two 3-pointers to continue a recent hot stretch, and now has 10 triples in her last five games. “She’s a great player. I definitely tried to stay in front of her

and deny her at all times,” Turner said. “When they started their offense, just don’t let her catch it at all.” Duke continues a busy week Thursday at home against Virginia.

LEADERSHIP from page 6 all part of it.” The Blue Devils’ fourth-quarter woes began innocently enough—with a single missed jumper. But one missed shot turned into two and then three. Soon enough, Duke had gone six minutes without a made field goal and the game was slipping out of reach. Through those final minutes, the team lacked poise. Players rushed the ball down the court and settled for a lowpercentage shot instead of testing the defense. Greenwell—a relatively more time-tested leader—was a prime culprit. The Owensboro, Ky., native settled for jumpers twice during her team’s drought after lackluster ball movement failed to break up the Fighting Irish defense. With Greenwell and the remainder of the Blue Devils drifting away from the methodical, piercing offense that had put them in position to win the game in the first place, Duke was in bad shape. However, the outcome might have been different, if the Blue Devils did not also soften up on defense. “The reality is that you can focus on shot-making and that’s certainly part of it,” McCallie said. “But at the same time, too, we gave [up] some real easy things down

Darbi Griffith | The Chronicle Rebecca Greenwell led the Blue Devils with 16 points Monday, but it wasn’t enough as the team faded down the stretch.

The Chronicle the stretch. You can’t do that.” As Duke searched for a basket, the Fighting Irish pulled ahead with Cable at the helm. The Mt. Lebanon, Pa., native posted eight points and stole the ball twice in the final period. Cable shined under pressure and showcased her leadership and experiences— Duke’s leaders just did not play with the same luster. That is not to say there were not solid performances from the Blue Devils veterans. Graduate student Amber Henson—Duke’s own fifth-year senior—was a significant contributor against Notre Dame, posting nine points and eight rebounds. Henson provides a wealth of experience and coolness to the Duke squad that her teammates feed off of, but it was not enough Monday. “[Henson] brings just a lot of energy all around,” Stevens said. “On defense, she’s always talking and getting everyone…into what we’re doing. And on offense, she sort of just sticks to what we do, and she doesn’t ever go out of her game. She can knock down shots and also post up smaller defenders, so she does both of that, and that’s really key.” It’s just that Henson was not able to back up her experience with the big-time plays that Cable churned out each and every time her team needed it—including a monster 3-pointer late in the fourth to give her team the lead. The Blue Devils saw another player step up in freshman point guard Kyra Lambert. After going scoreless in the first half, Lambert notched 10 points in the second half and drained some timely baskets in the closing minutes to keep hope alive in the Duke faithful. But Lambert’s contributions came too late to be meaningful. The Cibolo, Texas, native showed fight and brought the kind of intangibles to the court that a team needs to battle back from a late deficit, but there was no time left on the clock for the momentum to swing back the Blue Devils’ way. “[Lambert] did a great job of attacking down the stretch and really providing [a spark],” McCallie said. “I think she’s onto the kind of leadership that it takes from the point position. Her challenge is to play consistently through that, but I thought she did a great job, and she gave us some good hope down the stretch there to finish the way we wanted to.” Duke played well against a top-five team Monday, finding an answer for just about every scheme that Notre Dame could throw its way. But beyond the X’s-and-O’s, the Blue Devils struggled to compensate for their youth, and eventually succumbed to a team dripping with veteran leadership. The good news is that experience is always developing, and in a few years Duke might find itself on the opposite side of this story. “[The younger players] are getting better every game,” Greenwell said. “I thought Kyra in the second half really came along and hit some big shots for us, and it really just helps take pressure off of everybody else, but I think she’s doing a great job and will continue to do that.”

COLUMN from page 7

of conference play. As I’m sure you now probably know, this week’s AP poll marks the first time since 2007 that the Blue Devils have dropped out of the top 25. Gasp! And look what’s happened this season. Duke has lost some games it should have lost because, again, it is not that great of a team, and some games it should not have because the Blue Devils lost Amile Jefferson, who has played a surprisingly large role in ACC play by simply not being there. Then, we have open letters from alumni calling for the reinvigoration of the Cameron Crazies. Guys. Deep breath. It’s going to be okay. Take it from a fan who knows how to lose—let’s not even talk about my childhood N.C. State fandom—that one season of fringe NCAA play will not topple Duke. Next season (yes, it’s probably time to start thinking about it), the Blue Devils are going to be stacked with freshmen and sophomores that will be able to work together and will hopefully have a capable post player somewhere in the mix and will be far from any NIT talk. Of course, though I would absolutely prefer that Duke hurry up and make that switch this season before my final semester comes to a close, I try and remind myself of last April when the confetti was falling from Lucas Oil Stadium and remember that Blue Devil fans are pretty spoiled by their consistent success. Although the Panthers haven’t been Browns-level bad in the past few years, it’s been nice to be on the surprising side of success for once. It’s weird, but nice. But as long as this weird year can crank out one more championship team in five day’s time, I think I’ll be alright.

capture the title and be one of 50 teams in the history of the league to have their name on the Lombardi Trophy. This year, though—fingers crossed—is the year that that changes. Now, I get the luxury of being able to kick back and read scores of sports reporters, the same ones that were quick to look down their noses at the Panthers when they drafted All-World everything Cam Newton. Newton was, at the time, considered a character-issue guy and risky gamble—“How will he break down or throw against NFL defenses? They’re so smart! He just played a year in college! Fraud!” Those same writers have now penned thousands of words defending the same quarterback for being a barrier-breaking, leaguechanging demigod, much to the chagrin of Tennessee mothers. That’s why having opinions, especially wrong ones, is fantastic, and why screenshots of tweets from 2011 onward are now a personal pleasure of mine. Pair all of this with the fact that just seven months ago, I was in Indianapolis—albeit, in a working fashion—when Duke won the national championship, and I’d say that this year, next Sunday withstanding, has been fantastic. Well, for the most part. Now we get back to the weird—Duke is, at least according to its standards, subpar this season. Some would call that an understatement. A team predicted to be a top-10 squad by many who had yet to see them function as a unit has more or less fallen on its face through the opening month sudoku_516A

Untaming the Cameron Crazies

T

his week, the Associated Press released its first Division I men’s basketball ranking since the 2007-08 preseason poll without a ranked Duke team. This follows the women’s fall last month from its rankings for the first time since 1999. Basketball is certainly at one of its regular season basketball at Duke is at one of its lowest points in recent memory, but perhaps what is more disappointing is the lack energy displayed in Section 17 of Cameron and for sports more generally at Duke outside of pockets of enthusiasts. Two weeks ago, a letter to the editor was critical of the Crazies not jumping and shouting on defense to create the atmosphere that has historically made Cameron the most difficult road environment in all of college basketball. The fanaticism that drove the Crazies to fame in the mid-1980s seems to have faded. Looking into this trend, Duke certainly has risen as a university in the last several decades and students are increasingly coming to campus for more than just the basketball scene as “Why Duke?” essay answers are sure to indicate. Duke’s reputation in farther reaches of the country is gaining additional keywords beyond basketball. Further, parallel to the rise of basketball apathy in

“If this statement by the university president: ‘In a university, you have to actually think things through and work them through to find out what can be done…’ - really triggered a ‘microaggression’, you are probably too delicate, fragile, immature and hyper-sensitive to have a rational discussion.” — “New Jack Honkeykat” commenting on the Feb. 1 guest column “Refusing feeding time: A response to My Belonging”

students is the perception that being in Cameron for games requires a tremendous amount of time investment and energy expenditure. While students should value their time, we should appreciate how unique it is to have basketball and other sports like fencing and swimming right at our fingertips--not to mention for free. Third, the experience of being a Crazie is perhaps increasingly being taken for granted, rather than something Blue Devil fans need to put gritty work

Editorial into becoming. While Duke should not make basketball passion a part of its admissions considerations, students can reconsider how they view basketball and other sports in the context of their college careers. Line monitors and graduate ushers should continue to work to dispel the perception that exists about walk-up line times and to hype up the difference in experiencing sports live rather than on television. Some argue that the resuscitation of our student section’s particular brand of wildness will take the lucky selection of the right leaders

among line monitors. No matter who deals with tenting and game admissions, organization is key. It starts with simply communicating the chants and actions that make up our special Cameron rituals, but it goes further to understanding sports at universities. A very American phenomenon, having free access at Duke to highly competitive teams--revenue and non-revenue--throughout the school year is not to be underestimated for its entertainment value and school pride. Even as Coach K’s time to retirement dwindles and our many sports teams go through ups and downs, it comes down to students finding digging deep and finding their competitive spirit to cheer on their classmates. Duke’s academic and social traditions have their own space and benefits to students on campus, but athletics are something special. Go to the women’s home game on Thursday night, the men’s home game on Saturday afternoon, our fencing team’s one hosted meet in Card Gym this weekend and find out when other teams host their competitions. In Cameron and throughout all our playing fields and arenas, student support is the next most important thing to see besides the teams themselves and the thing they deserve for their hard work day in and day out.

Could it be just a dream?

There’s schadenfreude across the land. Duke is out of the college basketball rankings for the first time since 2007. To those grinning and gleeful, it is the comeuppance long overdue. But for all of you now at Duke who are down and discouraged, know that it is not the first time. In the very early 1980s, when Coach K—and my friends and I— had just arrived in Durham, decline was what everyone saw then too, not only of the Duke basketball team but of the country as well. The Carter Administration had just ended. Americans had been held hostage and humiliated by Iran, economic uncertainty was everywhere and there was what President Carter called a malaise across

lonely, the desperate, and the forgotten.” With the results from the Iowa caucuses and the national presidential polls, it’s clear that at least a swath of the country is again in a sour place and again looking for a change in public life. These fellow citizens of ours are genuinely down and discouraged. They don’t see the institutions of government, education or corporate America working for them, and they don’t expect things to get better with the leaders we now have. In late February 1981, just after Reagan took office, Duke was about to miss out on the NCAA tournament for the first time in years. And then, Coach K’s team won its last home game

Jonathan Wroblewski GUEST COLUMN the land. Here’s how Ronald Reagan put it on the eve of his election back then. “Americans seem to be wondering, searching. . . feeling frustrated and perhaps even a little afraid.” Many of us are unhappy about our worsening economic problems, about the constant crisis atmosphere in our foreign policy, about our diminishing prestige around the globe, about the weakness in our economy and national security that jeopardizes world peace, about our lack of strong, straight-forward leadership. And many Americans today, just as they did 200 years ago, feel burdened, stifled and sometimes even oppressed by government that has grown too large, too bureaucratic, too wasteful, too unresponsive, too uncaring about people and their problems. Americans, who have always known that excessive bureaucracy is the enemy of excellence and compassion, want a change in public life—a change that makes government work for people. They seek a vision of a better America, a vision of society that frees the energies and ingenuity of our people while it extends compassion to the

in overtime against North Carolina, a team on its way to the national finals (where it got beat by Isaiah Thomas and Bobby Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers; talk about schadenfreude). And after that epic Duke/Carolina game, that very same day, Bruce Springsteen sang about genuine despair and real hope just down the road at the Greensboro Coliseum as part of his tour supporting the release of “The River” album. From the game and the concert, there was a glimmer that day of what would again be and a call to work for a better tomorrow. In a couple of weeks from now, on a late February day 35 years on, the Duke basketball team will play at Louisville, maybe ranked, maybe not. And the day after, Bruce Springsteen will play in the same arena as part of “The River Tour.” I’m not sure if I’m dreaming all of this up or if it’s really real. But I could use another glimmer of what will again be and a call to work for a better tomorrow. If you could use it too, maybe I’ll see you in Kentucky. Jonathan Wroblewski is member of the Trinity class of 1983.

An (over/under) informed electorate

homas Jefferson once said, “Wherever the people are wellinformed, they can be trusted with their own government.” (Without even the slightest deliberate effort, our generation has, by far, the opportunity to be the most informed electorate in the history of the world. Let’s not be so quick to pat ourselves on the back. We have yet to do much

documentary but, under further review from numerous sources, is actually merely another piece of “agendized journalism.” Entertainment often masquerades as information.

with that opportunity. We play games on our phones, we make Snapchat streaks and we watch Netflix. Yet, without much effort, we are as informed, if not more informed, than even the most politically conscious of past generations. Information, especially from the political realm, has been forced upon us in streams, blogs, posts and tweets, as politics have infiltrated our social media applications, our television shows and even our sacred pop culture outlets. For those of us who weren’t already inspired to be politically informed, our culture has made the importance of our vote difficult to neglect. And a glance at the headlines of yesterday’s Iowa Caucus calls us not only be aware, but to act aware, as we consume information—or what seems to pass as information but what may actually be misinformation, leading to disinformation, resulting in the over-informed becoming under-informed. The messages that have accompanied the weeks leading up to the Iowa Caucus come with a partisan bias, so we must be able to discern truth from fiction to differentiate factual information from personal agendas, to recognize what’s in the public’s interest and create a more interested electorate. As the North Carolina primary election on March 15 looms in the future, the results of yesterday’s caucus are a lessthan-gentle reminder for us to reflect on how to appropriately allow the constant bombardment of information in our everyday lives to actually settle in, affecting mindsets and effecting action. We must get better at identifying misinformation as well as seeking out missed information. Election Day is not the day on which we should begin to sort out misconceptions or doubts or fill in gaps of information with out-of-context quotes or preferences based merely on the “smarter-sounding” names. Throughout the process of becoming primed to make a wise vote, we, the truly informed electorate, must take it upon ourselves not only to listen and learn but—more importantly—to analyze and integrate the information into our personal perspectives. A vote is a personal right, a responsibility that is owned entirely by the individual and therefore is a choice that, at the end of the day, an individual must live with. But don’t be fooled. Even parenthetically speaking, this isn’t just election talk. I’m referring to all of the “information” that comes our way as well as to the need to exhibit judgment, discernment and even cynicism in interacting with what is presented to us as “information.” We live now, more than ever, in the age in which reality and fiction can be presented identically upon a screen. Look at the way Netflix’s “Making a Murderer” has polarized public opinion under the pretense of being an objective

our regularly streamed, posted, blogged, viewed and read consumption of the outside world has its drawbacks. Even if we are able to differentiate valid information from misinformation, it’s an exhausting exercise. The truth is, at times, many of us feel over-informed. From the moment we could communicate beyond coos and babbles, we were the generation who grew up “on the grid”—a phrase my parents would pull out during those days I would lose myself in AIM chats and Facebook poking wars. In that state, we are accessible to anyone and anything that desires our attention. And so, over-informed, over-exposed and over-whelmed, we exercise the natural human tendency to logout. Delete an email. Scroll over a video. Turn off the television. Get off the grid. And this is where our generation finds itself in a quandary. Because life off the grid, while it can be tranquil, proposes the strong possibility that we will miss out on a vital flow of information. Or at least the perception of such. We detach from the culture of over-information that is so accessible to us, we take it for granted and sometimes we even resent it for its intrusiveness. So how do we avoid being under-informed in a culture of over-information, a culture in which we have no acceptable excuse to be anything less than the “well-informed” people that Thomas Jefferson wrote of? Very few of us will ever live unplugged. We’re drawn toward the stream of a steady, overflowing flow of information as well as prejudiced, opinionated flows that are presented as “information.” In my opinion—parenthetically speaking, of course—Thomas Jefferson wasn’t making a quantitative statement; rather it was a qualitative one. “Well-informed” doesn’t mean a wealth of information; it means a wealth in information. It is our task to sift through what is given to us for consumption in order to deem what is relevant, worthy and real. With the upcoming elections in mind, both here on campus as well as in North Carolina, there’s an overwhelming amount of information to digest. But not all of it is actually edible. Information, unlike Cool Ranch Doritos, doesn’t come with a label of ingredients and nutrients. These days, supposedly “informative” junk food looks just like the organic, truly good-for-you stuff. So it falls on us to create our own labels and make our own judgments, to come to our own conclusions after educated analysis rather than just mindlessly consuming and sharing information as if it’s all equally edible. Don’t try to overeat. You’ll throw up on your ballot.) Jackson Prince is a Trinity freshman. His column runs on alternate Tuesdays.

gentrification. It is past time that Duke asked itself the same question. Gentrification can be succinctly defined as the process through which higher-income people move into neighborhoods traditionally occupied by lower-income people and displace them. Key to this process is a prior cycle of underdevelopment, creating artificially low property values which can lure potential investors. Neighborhoods, as Norton notes, “don’t become disinvested overnight.” The precursor to Durham’s current development boom lies in a long history of segregation, redlining, public and private underinvestment and the outright destruction of Black neighborhoods via now-infamous urban renewal programs. The final nail in this coffin was the demise of the city’s manufacturing base. But if the shuttering of the last textile and tobacco mills heralded the end of an era, it also signaled a new relation between town and gown. Virtually overnight, Duke became the largest employer in Durham, with an unrivalled financial and political presence. Historically, the University had left questions of public policy to Durham’s business magnates, neglecting city matters almost entirely. Now, however, Duke is the only game in town. Duke responded to this new position in contradictory ways. Under the leadership of President Nannerl Keohane, the University proclaimed a new commitment to community development. This goal was ostensibly philanthropic and disinterested. At the same time, the University had a decided self-interest in “securing” the inner city, particularly after the decision to house incoming freshman on East Campus. (As one article in Duke Magazine put it, “if Duke planned to place its youngest, most vulnerable population in the midst of the city... it needed to ensure safety and stability for students.”) Did Duke want to enrich poor people or secure poor places? If these goals were not necessarily in conflict, they did not automatically converge either. In a sense, Duke dealt with this potential conflict of interest by dividing up tasks: the newly-created Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership tackled philanthropic interests, while the Real Estate Office handled pecuniary ones. The latter quickly began working on major development projects, including the American Tobacco Campus, West Village and the new Durham Tower. Rather than purchasing these properties directly, the Real Estate Office partnered with private developers, committing to leasing up to 50 percent of new office space. In a fascinating interview with Durham Magazine—now unfortunately offline—Scott Selig, Duke’s associate vice president of capital assets, explained how this choice facilitated development while avoiding negative perceptions of Duke dominating downtown. Asked about the impact of such development on low-income and minority communities, Selig essentially punted, saying “I am not the best person to answer that question.” The best people to answer that question

were presumably those involved in the new Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership (DDNP), later folded into the Office of Durham and Regional Affairs. While the Real Estate Office partnered with private developers, DDNP worked with Self-Help Credit Union and the city of Durham to revitalize low-income neighborhoods around Duke’s perimeter. The strategy, first pioneered in the historically Black Walltown

neighborhood just north of East Campus, was for Duke to loan money to Self-Help in order to purchase and revitalize run-down properties. These would then be sold to low-income, firsttime homeowners, with preference given to Duke employees. Walltown is indicative both of the successes of this tactic and its failures. Once decimated by urban blight, it is today a vibrant and attractive neighborhood. In a sense, this is the problem. When Self-Help began purchasing houses there in 1995, they paid an average of $11,000 per unit. By 2005, the average sale price of a home in Walltown had risen to $107,000, and by 2015 it had more than doubled to $230,000. While the project initially brought almost 80 low-income families into homeownership, today homes in Walltown are simply unaffordable to lowincome renters and buyers. In the long term, the project has less hindered gentrification than—ironically—facilitated it. I have no doubt that the individuals behind DDNP possessed the best intentions—and I know that Self-Help is now grappling with the implications of this strategy in terms of longterm affordability. But if Duke’s attempt fell somewhat short of its philanthropic goals, it succeeded quite well at its more self-interested ones. Viewed cynically, the aforementioned division of labor assumes a more ominous tone: Duke partnered with private developers where the market conditions for gentrification were ripe and with non-profits in poor Black neighborhoods where gentrification required a little more legwork. So what is to be done? In brief, I propose three things. First, end the firewall between the Real Estate Office and DDNP. It makes no sense to have the latter putting out brush fires that the former partially started. Minimally, the Real Estate Office needs to conduct racial equity impact assessments before partnering with private developers. Better yet, they should insist on an affordable housing component as a precondition for any future partnerships. Second, Duke needs to expand its focus on homeownership to engage with deeper questions of long-term affordability. The Durham Community Land Trust provides an excellent model in this regard. Essentially, community land trusts allow individuals to purchase housing while retaining partial ownership through a long-term ground lease. This dual ownership model ensures that the property remains affordable, one owner after another, in perpetuity. Finally, raise wages. Supplying affordable housing mitigates the effects of inequality; raising wages addresses the cause. As the largest employer in Durham County, Duke has the opportunity to be a trendsetter for the whole region. I thus second the call to raise wages for all workers on campus to at least $15 an hour.
