RALEIGH—With Winter Storm Jonas dumping snow and ice throughout the Triangle Friday and early Saturday, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory urged fans to stay home from Saturday’s game at PNC Arena due to treacherous driving conditions that could cause skidding on the roadways. The Blue Devils could not heed the governor’s directive, though—in order to stop their own three-game skid, they had to take care of business in an arena that has been anything but welcoming to them in recent years. Behind a monstrous second-half run, No. 20 Duke dug itself out of a seven-point halftime deficit and glided past N.C. State 88-78, avoiding a fourth consecutive loss to an unranked ACC foe.

Ingram keyed the comeback effort with 10 straight Blue Devil points spanning halftime, and Grayson Allen scored a game-high 28—including a scoop shot to beat the shot clock buzzer and push the lead to 10 with just more than a minute remaining—as Duke won in Raleigh for the first time since 2011. “We realize as a team that we’re not going to wake up and win. You have to cherish moments like these and realize that it wasn’t given—it was earned,” junior Matt Jones said. “To see us go there and succeed, it was a good feeling.” The Blue Devils (15-5, 4-3 in the ACC) used a 14-0 spurt midway through the second half to turn a 56-52 deficit into a 66-56 lead, capped by three consecutive baskets in transition. After Ingram stole an inbounds pass, Allen drove the entire length of the court for a lay-in. The next

Living-learning community Visions of Freedom to debut next year Shayal Vashisth The Chronicle Greek life and selective living groups are no longer the only options for undergraduate students looking to live in a tight-knit community. A pilot living-learning community, Visions of Freedom, will begin next year for students interested in political science, philosophy and economics. The LLC, which takes its name from a similarly-themed Focus program, is open to all students and will include a house course taught by upperclassmen, a lecture series and house trips. “The community itself is meant to be an alternative to the housing options that are currently available, like SLGs and Greek life, which can be really difficult to get into,” said junior Tara Bansal, Duke Student Government Vice President of Academic Affairs. “This aims to bring people together based on intellectual interests, making it a more academic community than the other communities aim to be.” Michael Gillespie, professor of political science and philosophy, helped establish the LLC as a continuation of his involvement with the first-year Visions of Freedom Focus program. A 2006 grant from the National Humanities Council provided funds for the Focus program as well as for a similar upperclassmen living community, Gillespie said. By the time he raised sufficient funds for that living community, however, Duke had already established SLGs, leaving no room for LLCs. When Bansal ran for DSG, she proposed the LLC, noting that she wished something similar had existed for herself. While the LLC’s student executive board will be responsible for organizing house activities, such as the lecture series and trips, faculty mentors will be essential to the LLC, working with the executive board to run the lecture series, develop the house course syllabus and bring guest speakers to campus, Gillespie said.

He added that several faculty members have expressed interest in working with the house. “A big part of this program is to facilitate student-faculty interaction in a much more casual setting,” Bansal explained. “The faculty mentor will help engage faculty with some of the events, bringing faculty to the events so that students can talk to them in a really casual setting, over dinner in their own house, and really get to know them better.” Visions of Freedom students will live in Edens 1A. Bansal said that to avoid displacing independent students in the future, LLCs will be organized in houses that do not already have a strong sense of community. The rooms will

be reallocated to the LLC as students graduate or move into other houses. Because of space limitations, only 18 students will be accepted into the LLC this year. While there will be an application process to select those students, Gillespie said in following years students can opt into the LLC by lottery if they list the house as their first choice on the housing application. The non-exclusive, non-selective nature of LLCs is meant to be an alternative to the highly selective rush process of Greek life and SLGs, Bansal said. “Rush is a little bit like sending kids back to middle school,” Gillespie said. “If there’s one place I don’t ever want to go, it’s back to middle school. So this

shouldn’t be a situation where you have to prove that you’re the one who ought to be in this group.” Junior James Ferencsik said he had been unsatisfied by the lack of community in upperclassmen housing and hopes to be selected in the LLC. If the pilot program for Visions of Freedom succeeds, Bansal said there may be an expansion of other academic themes in various houses on campus. “For students who are not particularly interested in politics, I expect the Visions of Freedom house to be the first of several living-learning communities that allow upperclassmen to live with other Duke students that share their intellectual interests,” Ferencsik said.

VP for Institutional Equity Reese champions diversity Frances Beroset The Chronicle Led by Ben Reese, the Office for Institutional Equity is tasked with not only addressing claims of harassment and discrimination but also improving employee diversity. Reese, vice president for institutional equity, leads the office along with his four directors—Inderdeep Chatrath for affirmative action and equal opportunity, Cynthia Clinton for harassment and discrimination, Ben reese Paul James for diversity, equity and inclusion and Howard Kallem for Title IX compliance. Together, they oversee issues ranging from affirmative action in hiring professors to handling harassment complaints. The office handles issues affecting undergraduates, graduate and professional schools, various centers and institutes as well as the Duke University Health System. “There’s no typical day [for us],” Reese said. In addition to overseeing the office, Reese conducts implicit bias trainings for groups ranging from sororities to the Young Trustee Nominating Committee and hospital physicians. He also sits on all senior faculty search committees, including the one for the next Divinity School dean, and develops new diversity trainings for Duke employees. Sue Wasiolek, dean of students and associate vice president for student affairs, has been an employee of Duke for 38 years. She has attended many trainings

with the office in that time. “I’ve been through trainings related to sexual assault, harassment, racial discrimination and Title IX,” Wasiolek said. “I’ve been through trainings related to disability, law and support, and I very vividly recall a summer workshop that I signed up for a number of years ago related to white privilege.” Reese will also serve as a resource for the newly-formed Task Force on Bias and Hate Issues, which was convened in response to recent racist and homophobic incidents on campus as well as concerns presented at two community forums. “In the last year or so, there’s been a lot of discussion across campus about implicit bias, and that’s been an area specialty of

mine for a number of years,” Reese said. Recently, Reese has conducted workshops for physicians as well as various undergraduate committees and admission committees for the medical school. Reese’s trainings often involve professional actors, which he said he is particularly proud of. “Lots of people use role playing, but role playing [with] employees or students and hoping they do something, it’s a risk,” he said. “Using professional actors is different.” Reese, a clinical psychologist by training, has been at Duke for 19 years and has held his current position since 2003. He noted that he has seen changes in attitudes towards diversity since he first arrived.

“When I first came here, as is the case in so many other places around the country, there were a few people working on diversity and talking about it,” he explained. “Now, increasingly, there are larger numbers of people at Duke University who are talking about it—but more than talk, are engaged in strategies.” Wasiolek said that in her view, the biggest change has been in regulations, rather than ideology. “The changes have been in some ways, pretty enormous, and in other ways—at least from a philosophical standpoint—I would suggest that they haven’t necessarily changed dramatically,” Wasiolek said. “Since my arrival at Duke, the institution has been fully committed to equal employment and fairness across the board to all members of the community. Various regulations and laws have changed over the years ... I think they all emerge from the same values.” At the first community forum in November, administrators announced the creation of a new vice provost for faculty advancement, who will be in charge of promoting diversity and inclusion on campus. Reese is continuing to encourage conversations around diversity among the faculty in particular. Earlier this month, Reese hosted a dinner for 10 faculty from different departments at which they discussed issues of diversity at Duke. “What we’re hoping will happen is that other people will sponsor breakfasts, lunches and dinners as one way—just one small way—of stimulating and fostering authentic or more authentic conversations about race and diversity in general,” he said.

Study shows fracking leads to falling property value Rachel Sereix The Chronicle The value of homes sharply declines when fracking takes place in neighborhoods, according to a new Duke study published in the American Economic Review. Researchers evaluated data on property sales in Pennsylvania to see whether previously drilled shale-gas wells impacted nearby housing prices. Well water was evaluated due to its often direct contamination from fracking, in contrast with municipally-provided piped water, which is typically less affected. Fracking, a process which uses high-pressure water and horizontal drilling to break up shale beneath the ground and bring up natural gas, has increased the potential to produce domestic oil and gas. The recently-released study found that even if contamination due to fracking had not occurred, housing values still declined. “Regardless of whether water contamination is happening, the perception that it might be happening is enough to have large effects on property values,” said Lucija Muehlenbachs, visiting fellow at Resources For The Future, an environmental think-tank, and one of three authors of the study. “The results of the study demonstrated that groundwater contamination risk is calculated into the value of homes that are located near shale gas wells which negatively affects the homeowners by lowering their property value.” The researchers discovered that the exact distance between a shale well and a

house directly affected home prices. For homes that were dependent upon well water, shale wells stationed within one kilometer of the home resulted in a 13.9 percent decrease on average for home value. Additionally, home prices fell by $30,167 for houses within 1.5 kilometers of shale drilling and homes that used piped water gained an average of $4,800 in value when shale wells were opened nearby. Properties from where the shale-gas wells were not actually visible actually benefited from local shale development in the form of higher home prices. Similarly, neighborhoods with piped water supplies saw higher home values as a result of royalty payments from shalegas companies. “This result demonstrates that if

we could reduce the contamination risk, homes could benefit from royalty payments without being negatively affected by development,” said Elisheba Spiller, an economist with the Environmental Defense Fund who earned her Ph.D. in economics from Duke in 2011 and one of the authors of the study. Fracking does have potential benefits, however, in addition to its costs, explained Christopher Timmins, professor of economics and the study’s third author. Shalegas development emits less carbon per unit of energy than coal, for example, although it poses a greater risk of water contamination and hazardous waste deposits. The team that authored the study is currently working on a project that focuses on rental rates for housing in

Pennsylvania in response to drilling. The conventional theory has been that rental rates increase when there is high demand created by incoming well-workers, Timmins explained. Despite the consistently low price of natural gas, shale development—which extracts natural has intensified in various countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Timmins said that natural gas pricing should be more sensitive to the costs of fracking. “I would expect the pace to really pick up again in the U.S. if the price of natural gas starts to climb again,” he explained. “It is my opinion that the price of natural gas should reflect to the full cost to society of developing it—if it were to do that, it might not be as cheap as it is today.”

GRIT, FIGHT KEY BLUE DEVIL COMEBACK Duke outrebounded N.C. State Saturday, reversing a troubling trend from its 3-game losing streak Seth Johnson The Chronicle

RALEIGH—Before Saturday, the Blue Devils were snowballing down every major poll in the nation and skidding out of ACC title contention. Throw in the team’s recent history at PNC Arena—Duke had not beaten N.C. State on the road since 2011 and lost to Mercer at the venue in the first round of the 2014 NCAA tournament—and the Blue Devils’ current three-game slide, and Saturday’s game against the Wolfpack suddenly felt like a pivotal moment in the course of Duke’s season. But with an improved tenacity and fight for the ball than it had displayed during losses against Clemson, Notre Dame and Syracuse, No. 20 Duke froze talks of its impending spiral with a gritty 88-78 victory against the Wolfpack to remain above .500 in conference play, preventing its first four-game losing streak since the 2006-07 season. “We found out last three games that one play can change the game,” junior Matt Jones said. “[In the] last couple games, we haven’t rebounded, and when we rebound we have enough players to where we can make things happen. Rebounding was a big key for us.” The Tigers, Fighting Irish and Orange rode to victories by dominating the Blue Devils on the glass, outrebounding Duke by a total of 123-99—including a 52-33 disparity on the offensive end—leading head coach Mike Krzyzewski to lament his team’s inability to just grab the ball and protect it.

Kristen Shortley | The Chronicle Marshall Plumlee corralled six offensive rebounds and helped the Blue Devils outrebound the Wolfpack Saturday as Duke snapped a threegame skid by grabbing the loose balls it had not been collecting in the past week.

Against the Wolfpack, though, graduate student Marshall Plumlee led the charge for the Blue Devils, corralling eight of the team’s 31 total rebounds, outrebounding a conference foe for the first time since Jan. 9, an 82-58 blowout against Virginia Tech. Six of Plumlee’s rebounds came on the offensive end, outmuscling the physical N.C. State duo of BeeJay Anya and Abdul-Malik Abu. But Plumlee did not have to carry the load on his own, and instead rallied his troops with

his efforts. Sophomore Grayson Allen and freshman Brandon Ingram both snagged seven rebounds of their own, repelling the stingy N.C. State frontcourt from the boards. “Tonight, I think we came up with a lot of loose balls, a lot of rebounds—a lot of those rebounds were getting tipped up into the air and we came up with a lot of them,” Allen said. “That’s what we wanted to do. We wanted to do all the little things, and I think we talked a lot better today.”

Duke could have very easily given in and lost its tenacity against the Wolfpack early on, though. As the Blue Devils connected on just 15 of their 35 shots in the first half—including a 3-for-14 showing from beyond the arc— N.C. State drained 17-of-30 attempts from the floor in the first 20 minutes, including six straight 3-pointers. But Duke’s frigid shooting struggles did not last, as the Blue Devils came storming out See GRIT on Page 8

Back at it: Blue Devils head to Miami for pivotal contest Amrith Ramkumar The Chronicle After ending their longest losing streak in nine seasons Saturday at N.C. State, the Blue Devils have little time to gear up for their next challenge—a road tilt against another preseason ACC favorite. No. 20 Duke travels to Coral Gables, Fla., to take on No. 15 Miami Monday at 7 p.m. at the BankUnited Center for just its second game against a ranked opponent this season. The Blue Devils are a much different team than the No. 20 one that fell to thenDuke vs. No. 2 Kentucky 74-63 Nov. 17 and the one No. 15 that played with senior Miami forward Amile Jefferson MONDAY, 7 p.m. until Dec. 14, but will BankUnited Center look to continue where they left off Saturday against the Wolfpack. Duke played one of its best halves of the season to turn

a seven-point halftime deficit into a 10-point win, shooting 71 percent and limiting a hobbled Anthony “Cat” Barber—the ACC’s leading scorer—to five points after intermission. Although sterling performances from guard Grayson Allen and swingman Brandon Ingram—who combined for 53 points— highlighted Saturday’s win, the Blue Devils will likely be more focused on slowing down the Hurricane guards with another consistent defensive effort on the perimeter. Senior guards Angel Rodriguez and Sheldon McClellan are the focal points of head coach Jim Larrañaga’s offense and engineered Miami’s 90-74 rout of Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium last season. The Blue Devils endured a quick SaturdayMonday turnaround last week as well, falling 64-62 to Syracuse on the back end. With very little time to both recover from the win in Raleigh and implement a game plan for the Hurricanes, Duke’s depth-strapped rotation See MIAMI on Page 9

Duke stifles Tar Heels for Tobacco Road bragging rights The Blue Devils held North Carolina to 26.3 percent shooting Sunday Drew Johnson The Chronicle Plenty of snow and ice fell in Durham this week, but it appears that the Blue Devils have weathered the storm brought about by the start of ACC play. Shutdown defense combined with another impressive performance from Azurá Stevens sent Duke past North Carolina 71-55 at Cameron Indoor Stadium Sunday afternoon. The Blue Devils utilized a 3-2 zone to minimize the effectiveness of the Tar Heels’ potent guards, holding their Tobacco Road rivals to 5-of-34 from long range and just 26.3 percent from the field— the team’s worst shooting performance this season. Stevens poured in 26 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for her 12th doubledouble of the season, and graduate student Amber Henson snagged a careerhigh 16 rebounds to help Duke outscore North Carolina 21-7 in second-chance points and send the Tar Heels to their fifth straight conference loss. “I loved the game for our team because it was a hard-fought game,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “I thought we were able to really dictate the physical play in a good way with all this great rebounding [from Stevens and Henson].” The teams traded blows in the opening minutes, with neither side able to develop any offensive momentum. Duke exhibited strong defensive pressure early on, limiting North Carolina to a 3-of-8 shooting performance in the opening five minutes, but the Tar Heels defense was just as strong as the Blue Devils went just 3-of-9 from the floor in the same span. Duke’s biggest advantage against North Carolina (12-10, 2-5 in the ACC) was its size, which McCallie’s squad exploited throughout the game to find opportunities on offense. Stevens led the Blue Devils with six points in the opening period, but it was Henson who stole the show for the Blue Devils (15-6, 4-3). The Tampa, Fla., native notched

five points and five rebounds of her own, highlighted by an energizing 3-point play near the end of the frame that was part of a 9-0 run for Duke to close the quarter, leading to an 18-10 Blue Devil lead. “[I found success] being more aggressive and really committing and not leaking out before going to the boards,” Henson said. “The games before this I haven’t really performed on the boards as I should, and this game I just really wanted to focus on crashing the boards.” As the first half progressed, North Carolina’s guards began exploiting the Blue Devils’ tiring defense by crashing the offensive boards, grabbing four offensive rebounds in the second quarter. Stephanie Watts, Jamie Cherry, and Destinee Walker probed Duke’s zone all afternoon—the trio combined for 37 points—and a 3-point play by Walker with 3:51 left in the period gave her team its second lead of the game at 26-25. Stevens countered the Tar Heel spurt by pouring in 10 points of her own during the second period. After

Walker’s layup, Stevens responded with six straight points, scrapping out an andone and hitting a 3-pointer on back-toback possessions. Although the Tar Heels carried momentum into the locker room after outscoring the Blue Devils 24-18 in the second quarter, Duke held a thin 3634 advantage. After regrouping at halftime, Duke came out firing in the third quarter, opening on an 8-0 run that forced North Carolina into an early timeout with 8:06 left in the period. Four of those points came from freshman point guard Kyra Lambert, who carried the bulk of the ball-handling load for her team as Angela Salvadores sat out for the third straight contest with an ankle injury. “Kyra’s getting better every game. She’s become more poised,” McCallie said. “[She] plays solid defense, can really penetrate and can knock down shots, and I think she’s just getting more comfortable overall.” Even as Stevens was held scoreless for the first 5:35 of the third quarter, Duke widened its lead to as many as 12 points as Lambert, Oderah Chidom and Rebecca Greenwell combined for 11 points during the period. On the other end, the Duke defense frustrated the Tar Heels into five turnovers and just six points on 2-of-17 shooting for the quarter, the lowest scoring period of North Carolina’s season. North Carolina’s guards could not get anything going from long range—Cherry hit four of the team’s five 3-pointers, but Watts finished 0-for-14 from distance and Walker went 1-of-8. North Carolina mounted one more comeback attempt in the final 10 minutes, cutting the lead to 59-53 with 3:38 left. But back-to-back baskets by Stevens and Greenwell gave Duke breathing room, and Greenwell drilled a 3-pointer with 1:49 left to complete the 7-0 run and put the game away. Duke will travel to Pittsburgh Thursday trying to pick up a fourth straight ACC win.

Azurá Stevens proved Sunday that she can impact the game in ways other than scoring. Playing at the top of a half-court trap that transitioned into a 3-2 zone, Stevens was a difference-maker for the Blue Devils in their 71-55 win against North Carolina, adding two blocks and numerous deflections to her 26-point, 14-rebound performance. Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie switched up the defense prior to the game, opting for a 3-2 zone instead of her more traditional 2-3 scheme, in which Stevens usually heads the back line of defense. The tactical shift paid off—the Tar Heels shot just 26.3 percent from the field, and committed 14 turnovers, failing to generate enough good looks to stay with the Blue Devils. “I think length has a lot to do with [the defensive performance], and I also think [we did a good job] disrupting even some of the half-court work that our team did, trying to disrupt people getting into their flow a little bit,” McCallie said. “Using [Stevens] at the top, she has such great length and instincts and athleticism, so that’s a nice combination to try and read passing angles and take away the high post a little bit.” The decision was made in large part due to the Blue Devils’ overwhelming size advantage, as the Tar Heels’ tallest players checked in at 6-foot-2. In contrast, Duke’s starting frontcourt—Stevens, Oderah Chidom and Amber Henson—all stand at least 6-foot-4. With Chidom, Henson and bench players Lyneé Belton and Erin Mathias manning the bottom of the defense, Stevens used her length to make life difficult on North Carolina’s backcourt. The Tar Heels struggled mightily from 3-point range, as they made only five of their attempted 34 treys. Freshman Stephanie Watts—a 30.1 percent 3-point shooter entering the game—missed all 14 of her attempts from beyond the arc, and teammate Destinee Walker did not fare much better, making just one trey on eight tries. Stevens’ ability to contest North Carolina’s outside shots changed the dynamic of the game and allowed the rest of the Blue Devils frontcourt to grab defensive rebounds. Henson was the biggest beneficiary of Stevens’ defensive efforts, grabbing a total of 16 rebounds, 14 of which were on the defensive end. The graduate student also chipped in with three blocks, as the Tar Heel guards were forced to drive into the heart of Duke’s zone, where Henson stepped up and altered their shots. Chidom added a careerhigh five steals, overplaying passes into the post as Stevens forced the Tar Heels to make ill-advised decisions. Although North Carolina grabbed 22 offensive rebounds, a large portion of those occurred with Henson sitting on the bench in foul trouble. The Tar Heels made a fourthquarter run that cut Duke’s lead to six points, but once the Tampa, Fla., native was inserted See DEFENSE on Page 8

Jefferson out of walking boot Ryan Hoerger The Chronicle RALEIGH—Duke snapped a three-game losing streak with an 88-78 win at N.C. State Saturday afternoon, but one of the day’s biggest developments took place off the court. Senior Amile Jefferson—sidelined since Dec. 14 with a fractured right foot—stood on the sidelines before the game without a walking boot, an encouraging sign for a Blue Devil squad strapped for frontcourt depth. After the game, head coach Mike Krzyzewski seemed cautiously optimistic about Jefferson’s progress, but made clear that the captain’s timetable to return is still uncertain. “What he’s able to do is start trying to walk the right way...he’ll have some stuff in his shoe, but we’re trying to get him to walk properly,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s doing stuff in the pool, but there’s still no timetable. The bone is healed pretty well, but he’s just not there.” Saturday’s game was the 11th Duke has played without Jefferson, during which time Krzyzewski’s squad is 7-4. Despite sticking to a frontcourt that consisted of graduate student Marshall Plumlee and freshman swingman Brandon Ingram—plus one minute of redshirt sophomore Sean Obi—the Blue Devils outrebounded the Wolfpack 31-28 and won the battle of points in the paint, 36-34. The return of Jefferson—who was averaging a doubledouble through nine games prior to his injury—will only help as the Blue Devils get deeper into their ACC schedule. “I still think it’s a while, but it is good to see him not in the damn boot, and for him too,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s dying, he wants to play so badly.”

GRIT from page 6 of the locker room to nail 17-of-24 shots in the second half, sparked by their ability to convert second-chance opportunities. The Tigers, Fighting Irish and Orange scored 45 points on second-chance opportunities to Duke’s 23—Saturday, the Blue Devils bested N.C. State 12-11. “We knew every time that we come out in the second half, we come out flat,” Ingram said. “So we knew we didn’t want to come out flat, knock some shots down, stay aggressive and get after it defensively. The key for this game was to rebound the

down low and outscore N.C. State 36-34. “When it comes to stats like [rebounds, second-chance points and points in the paint], honing in on a single stat is an overall mindset that allows the little things to slip through the cracks like that,” Plumlee said. “We’ve got to be in love with doing dirty work, whether that be getting rebounds or getting a stop, and that’s an adjustment we’re making.” With another short turnaround before facing No. 15 Miami Monday, Duke will have to fight to maintain its tenacity and grit to score its first top-25 victory of the season. If the Hurricanes are able to outhustle the Blue Devils to the ball and bang on the boards, it could be a long day for Duke in the Sunshine State. “We had a week to prepare for this game, we only have a day to prepare for Miami, so even more we just have to prepare and use our experience—take what we learned from the three losses and just keep chipping away,” Jones said.

DEFENSE from page 7 back into the game, the Blue Devils finished on a 12-2 spurt. Stevens’ was particularly active in the third quarter, when Duke allowed only six points—a season-low for points scored in a quarter for North Carolina. With McCallie opting to keep her starters on the court for the majority of the period, the Blue Devils limited the Tar Heels to only 11.8 percent shooting. Leading North Carolina scorer Jamie Cherry, Walker and Watts were frustrated in that important third quarter, as the Tar Heel guards combined for 1-of-12 shooting to start the second half. Cherry—who came into the game averaging 14.6 points per contest—finished with 16 total points, but needed 14 shots to get them. Kristen Shortley | The Chronicle “[Stevens] was long. She covered a lot of space, so it Senior Amile Jefferson patrolled the Duke sideline without changed what we had been doing in the past. We hadn’t seen a walking boot Saturday, an encouraging sign for the depthanyone that tall at the top of any press,” Cherry said. “I think constrained Blue Devils. we had to adjust our passing. We couldn’t make longer passes that we normally make—we had to shorten them up.” Despite playing at the top of the half-court press and zone, ball, so we rebounded well and got after it.” The gritty play did not stop there. With Krzyzewski utilizing Stevens still managed to grab eight defensive rebounds. The a seven-man rotation at an increasing rate since the loss of Raleigh native sat on the bench for only four minutes, playing senior forward Amile Jefferson in nonconference play, the about six more minutes than usual while chasing Cherry and the Blue Devils had been bodied up in the paint by deeper, more rest of the Tar Heel backcourt around the entire game. With her deflections and tenacious defense, Stevens spearheaded a Tobacco aggressive foes. Against Notre Dame, Duke was outscored in the paint Road rivalry victory, as Duke moved to 4-3 in the ACC. “I think [getting deflections] just takes away passing angles,” 50-26, accounting for much of the 104-72 deficit in its three Stevens said. “[The ball] got in the middle too much and then conference losses. Although Krzyzewski essentially played a sixI just stuck out my arm and people second-guess about it, so I man rotation against the Wolfpack—redshirt sophomore Sean think when we all put our hands out, it really helps a lot just to Obi only played one minute at the end of the first half as the second man off the bench—the Blue Devils were able to fight take away inside looks.”

“Beyond Hysteria or Apologia, the ISIS Challenge in Perspective” The ideological/propaganda challenge of the Islamic State is unique in terms of both message and propagation. Much hyperbole has gone into either exaggerating or minimizing this challenge for reasons sometimes only tangentially connected with the threat. Fernandez’s remarks place the potent ISIS narrative within the broader context of a deep crisis of authority in the Sunni Arab Muslim world, facilitated by regional events and amplified by historic, regional political-military shifts and an ongoing global revolution in the use of social media.

MIAMI from page 6 will have to buckle down defensively. “We had a week to prepare for [the N.C. State] game—we only have a day to prepare for Miami, so even more we just have to prepare and use our experience—take what we learned from the three losses and just keep chipping away,” junior guard Matt Jones said Saturday. The Blue Devils (15-5, 4-3 in the ACC) and Hurricanes were picked to finish in the top five in the ACC, but both teams lost two of their first five games in league play. Miami bounced back from losses at Clemson and then-No. 13 Virginia by knocking off Wake Forest and Boston College at home, while Duke dropped another game to Syracuse before its win Saturday, making Monday’s game against the Hurricanes even more critical for the Blue Devils to avoid falling another game behind the top teams in the conference. To avenge last season’s loss to Miami (15-3, 4-2), the Blue Devils will need to find an answer for the Hurricanes’ penetration. A transfer from Texas, McClellan spearheads the attack, averaging 16.0 points per game to lead nine Miami players who log more than 10 minutes per contest. But Rodriguez—who started his career at Kansas State—will be just as much of a priority for Duke because of his ability to get senior center Tonye Jekiri and sharpshooter Davon Reed involved after attacking off the bounce. Although Rodriguez is shooting just 40.3 percent from the field this season, the memories of the 5-foot-11 guard torching the Blue Devil defense for 24 points and five assists last season will be cause for concern. Last year’s loss prompted Duke to embrace more zone looks defensively for the rest of the season— sudoku_513B Saturday, head coach Mike Krzyzewski threw a

myriad of defensive schemes at the Wolfpack, including some extended zone. On the other end of the court, the Blue Devils will pit their four-out, one-in attack featuring Ingram at the power forward position against a defense that ranks 17th in basketball statistician Ken Pomeroy’s defensive efficiency metric. Duke—led by Allen and Ingram—ranks second in the country in offensive efficiency but will only be able to take advantage of its small lineup if it can neutralize Jekiri and forward Kamari Murphy on the glass. “We’ve got to be in love with doing dirty work, whether that be getting rebounds or getting a stop, and that’s an adjustment we’re making,” center Marshall Plumlee said after Saturday’s game. In addition to taxing Duke’s limited depth— sophomore reserve guard Ja’Quan Newton ranks second on the team in scoring at 11.8 points in just 21.8 minutes per game—the Hurricanes’ veteran squad will test the Blue Devils’ maturity. Four of Miami’s five starters are seniors trying to leave their mark in a pivotal game for both teams still relatively early in ACC play. The Blue Devils still have two contests apiece against the top two teams in the conference—North Carolina and Louisville—as well as a game against Virginia, meaning a team that has been trying to play well beyond its years will need to come up with a statement win to avoid an even bigger uphill battle in the standings. “They’re maturing, they’re becoming more men now than boys,” Krzyzewski said after the game against the Wolfpack. Come Monday night, that transformation will need to continue to keep the Blue Devils above .500 in ACC play. Ryan Hoerger and Seth Johnson contributed reporting.

The Chronicle

“

Universalizing Duke’s strengths Last semester, we surveyed the Imagining the Duke Curriculum committee’s first year of reflection. Halfway through this year’s phase of making proposals, the committee released its first iteration of a conceptual framework for our new undergraduate curriculum. We asked that the new curriculum “help enshrine and perpetuate the ethos of the University we see emerging: leadership oriented around thoughtful engagement with issues, incorporating different analytic approaches to solve problems.” The proposal, titled “Experience Duke, Deliberately” is a good first attempt to bring this concept—a crucial next step for our university’s maturation—into reality. The curriculum calls for a ten-month, firstyear Duke Experience course. A combination of flipped lectures, biweekly break-out seminars and programmed events aimed at creating residential learning communities on East Campus will be oriented around broad themes that introduce Duke students to scholarship in the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences. We want to ensure that the biweekly seminars and special events are used to expose students as quickly as possible to Duke’s faculty, breaking the ice for close relationships with future mentors. We also hope the themes are carefully selected to address

pressing contemporary challenges that exist at Duke, in Durham and beyond. The proposal also calls for all students to have a second area beyond their major in a minor, certificate, second major or custom course sequence. This requirement encourages the cross-disciplinary culture among students that makes Duke exciting for faculty. It does so without sacrificing the necessity of disciplinary depth to enable a productive synthesis—rather than a superficial combination— of different analytical modes. We are particularly excited about the chance for students to design

Editorial their own six-course track to satisfy this requirement, yet we are unsure if it will address or exacerbate the credentialism that motivates too many competitive Duke students—where students feel pressured to maximize the possible combination of majors, minors and certificates. This requirement must be designed in a way that promotes the intellectual creativity that comes with exploring multiple fields. The curriculum framework includes a mandatory mentored scholarly experience to cohere students’ intellectual development. As envisioned, students

will not be confined to producing a thesis. Mentioned are software development, original short stories and policy briefs as viable projects. Without confining students to one mode of knowledge exercise, this requirement provides a common academic experience that adds to a campus-wide culture of intellectualism. We remain uncertain about the five competency expectations presented by the Committee. It is a smart choice to overhaul the burdensome and bureaucratic Curriculum 2000 model, which inevitably became about checking off Trinity Requirements rather than thinking about developing core competencies. There are many ways for these competencies to be required. Perhaps, they could be further embedded in a Duke Experience class complement in junior or senior year. We want to make sure that these broad competencies are deliberately thought of throughout the Duke experience. Regardless, simpler is better. In combination with the other requirements, from a common first-year course to a universal capstone experience, it will hopefully overcome the superficial nature of the current requirements in the curriculum. The expectations must somehow be embedded into the culture rather than bureaucratized.

Monday Monday you’re welcome are supporting this lifestyle that causes you to live eight to 20 years less on average! If you have any humanity at all, you have to realize supporting this lifestyle is true evil. Can you help me spread my message of love? Best, Paul Mees This letter has been paraphrased from Paul Mees’ original letter to the editor. Dear Meester Paul, I noticed you sent this letter to the editor—a common mistake since the “Editor” and “Monday” keys are right next to each other on the keyboard. Since they just published your letter without offering any advice, I snagged it and figured I’d try to help you and the gays work things out. I know first-hand how bigoted and closed-minded Duke students can be when exposed to viewpoints that aren’t their own, so stay strong with me on this one. Let’s talk a little about the jealousy that’s deep in your heart. I’ve looked up the stats, bro. The early 1980’s were not the best time to be in college. That was right around the time that liberals invented the idea of sexual assault, along with the mythical female orgasm—talk about moving the goalposts mid-game! That’s why today’s students know the real goal of your four years at Duke is to bang the hottest girls possible so you avoid having a midlife crisis where you send letters to a college newspaper. So, I broke out the old VCR to do some “research” for this article and boy do I have questions. Let’s talk landscaping—the hair on these girls is less well trimmed than my house’s hedges on Seis de Mayo. These are your porn stars, Paul, the Albert Einsteins of sexual achievement for your generation! Had you failed so miserably at making women feel uncomfortable in their bodies that this was considered acceptable? Did you even break out the calipers to check a girl’s body fat before hooking up with her at Shooters? I need answers, Paul.

spiritual man, I wrote Maahir a quick note telling him that I felt sorry for the fact that he was living in sin and would burn in hell for all of eternity. I signed the note “Love,” and I don’t think even God noticed that I dotted all my i’s with little bombs because that was my room first. As far as you being sad for the gays, I think we’re going to have to disagree. Find me another group that gets mostly naked, shuts down New York City and dances on slow moving cars just because they’re happy to be alive. Plus, have you seen the girls these guys get to go on dates with? Clearly, the gays know how to get women—they just choose not to. I know, it creeps me out too. So let’s broker a little truce here: you want all the gays to be straight, and the gays want you to just let them be gay. I’m proposing we turn this relationship from parasitic to symbiotic—the gays teach you a few of their tricks, like how to put together an outfit and get smoking hot girls. In return, before you write any more letters that look like you sent a bible passage about lying with men through Larry Moneta’s snow-day-newstranslation-machine, you just send them to me and I’ll shred them for you. I know I ignored that whole transgender thing you wrote about—to be honest, they still make me feel a little awkward. I also skipped over the whole lesbo-thing, but you seem pretty okay with them. Hopefully, though, we’ve settled this whole problem. And, if not, you can always add your comments to the Center for Speech Diversity’s wall in East House. Dr. Monday is collecting donations for the first annual Paul Mees scholarship, which will be awarded to the student who is best able to misinterpret research into a thesis that upsets the greatest proportion of the Duke student body. The application will be the same as for next semester’s Monday Monday. Have a question? Send it to askdoctormonday@gmail.com

Duke without Mi Gente Say it all together now

ear Duke University, This coming Spring semester, Mi Gente, Duke’s undergraduate umbrella Latinx student organization, will cease its collaboration with the Admissions office with respect to Latino Student Recruitment Weekend (LSRW). Our organization, which serves the entire Duke community, a Latinx community comprising of 7 percent of the student population and a first year population comprising of 10 percent, will no longer organize and facilitate LSRW, which attracts between 60 and 80 prospective students every year.

must have a full staff including a center director, program coordinators and student staff. Duke must also hire faculty to coordinate Latino Student Recruitment Weekend (the center can assume this role) as well as fund annual Latinx awards, celebrating our student leaders for their tireless efforts. 2. Provide a larger office space for Mi Gente and Latinx students, not a janitor’s closet in between two bathrooms. The space that we request must not be in the lowest level of the Bryan Center, with limited traffic flow and visibility. This space must be visible and adequately accommodate our 14-person

ne in five women report being sexually assaulted while in college. That is a fact. A recent Justice Department study confirmed that the number is one in five, again. Let’s say it all together now. One in five. Study after study after study have reached the same conclusion. But numbers do little to capture the reality of the situation. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve heard “me too.” I know more women whose friends, sororities, SLGs, and families turned

problematic people, problematic things

Instead of organizing this established event, we will channel our energies into demanding that our voices be heard and that our community be represented. This will involve collaborating on political events with other organizations, organizing demonstrations and meeting with the administration. In 2005, Mi Gente sent a letter to President Brodhead requesting a cultural center and a plan for the hiring of Latinx faculty and administrators. These requests remain unmet. Now, in 2016, 11 years later, Mi Gente implores administration to satisfy these requests. Our requests are simple yet imperative: we demand a cultural center, which will assume full responsibility of Latino Student Recruitment Weekend programming, more Latinx faculty members in various departments and a public apology for the racism exhibited within the Department of Education and towards Dr. Jason Mendez. We are continuously disappointed with Duke and its dismissal of the needs of students of color, particularly those of the Latinx community. We will no longer sit around and wait for Duke to respond to our needs. We demand that Duke comply with its mission statement to “promote a deep appreciation for the range of human difference and potential.” It is time for Duke University to follow in the steps of its peer institutions to establish a safe environment conducive to learning. Stanford University (El Centro), Yale (La Casa Cultural), University of Pennsylvania (La Casa Latina), Cornell (Latino Living Center/ Latina/o Student Success Office), MIT (Latino Cultural Center) and many other elite institutions have all established Latinx cultural centers. Duke Latinx students attended Duke on the premise that they would be able to intellectually flourish. Instead, we have found that we must perform the duties of the administrators, educators and admissions officers. We must assert our humanity in classrooms where our professors or peer students project micro and macro aggressions, we must demand that we receive a space outside of the Bryan Center Basement and we must plan a four-day long recruitment event using undergraduate funds. It is time that Duke recognize that its students of color should not bear the burden on being academics, educators, poster children for brochures, panelists regarding diversity, Latinx student recruiters, party planners and students. Once again we tell Duke adminstrators that Mi Gente, Latinx Students and nonLatinx allies demand that Duke: 1. Create a permanent, public space historicizing our integration, history and ongoing achievements on this campus in the form of a Latinx cultural center. This center

council. 3. Establish full funding for Latino Student Recruitment Weekend so that Mi Gente can focus its general funds towards organizing events for current Latinx undergraduates. 4. Establish a plan for the hiring of Latinx staff, faculty and administrators. This means increasing the Latinx faculty members in every academic and student affairs department and establishing a plan for retaining these new faculty members (i.e. creating paths to tenure). Particularly important is the hiring of Latinx therapists/psychiatrists at CAPS and hiring Latinxs in administrative roles. 5. Create a Latino Studies department to include a major, minor and its own tenuretrack professors. 6. Provide need-blind admission for undocumented students. Admission will be publicly advertised and recruitment efforts will ensure that undocumented students know that they are welcomed on our campus. 7. Increase pay for all laborers, who are predominantly black and brown, to a living wage (currently $15 an hour). 8. Host a biannual hearing for Latinx undergraduates to present testimonies, experiences and insights of Latinx issues on campus to top administrators. 9. Develop a plan to deepen linkages with the local Latinx population, in all of its diversity, as part of its ongoing partnerships with Durham and North Carolina. 10. Administer a public apology for the routine negligence of Latinx issues on this campus. Mi Gente was founded in 1992 to address the needs of Duke’s Latinx population. Over the years, our organization and the student Latinx population has grown. Despite our growth on campus and in the nation at large, we have yet to be recognized as full members of the community instead of just models for an admissions brochure. The actions that Mi Gente are taking assert that Duke University is not a safe space for Latinx’s and we no longer feel comfortable encouraging prospective students to attend a university where their numbers will be lauded but their humanity ignored. Therefore, we will be refocusing our efforts toward establishing a safe space on this campus for current Latinx students, and we will leave the recruitment to those on the Duke payroll. We expect a formal letter of response from the administration by Friday, January 29, 2016 at 05:00 PM. Best, Mi Gente 2015-16 Members of the organization can be on its Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/profile.php? id=302071423322961&tsid=0.1681194058619 4396&source=typeahead

against them than those who were actually supported. I know of more cases of police officers laughing off women’s complaints than those who actually did their jobs. I know more rapists currently enjoying their time at Duke than who have been expelled, suspended, removed from their athletic teams, or even found responsible. I’ve been at parties where I’ve been introduced to men I already knew as sexual assailants. I’ve had women share the same names with me over and over and over again. I’ve intervened in more attempted sexual assaults than the total number ever expelled from Duke for sexual misconduct (hint: only one person ever has been, and he’s suing the University for his diploma). That is the reality. But yet for being such a widespread, systemic social disease, we still hear surprisingly little about sexual assault. If one in five college women were getting mugged, dying of cancer, dropping out of school, or losing limbs, we would hear day in and day out about the crisis facing American college women. Universities would be holding daily meetings; administrators would be pulling their hair out. If going to college meant you had a 20 percent chance of losing your arm, with another student wielding the saw, parents would be apoplectic. Every student would have to take an extensive saw safety course. But sexual assault and rape? Radio silence. Part of the problem is that sexual assault often appears as an invisible wound. People outside of the circles who frequently discuss gender violence tend to never notice it. We don’t see one in five college women unable to function. There is no scarlet letter that magically appears on the foreheads of assailants or their victims. At Duke, we see women running around doing amazing things. We don’t notice their weekly trips to the Women’s Center for counseling, or their weekend meetings with lawyers to build their case, or the parties they stop going to because their rapist is in that fraternity. We believe them when they say they’re sick but are really too mentally exhausted to get out of bed. We think nothing of it when a friend is a bit scatterbrained, not realizing their assailant was found not guilty yesterday. But when we do choose to pay attention, when we open our eyes to the crisis around us, the toll of assault is absolutely staggering. Where do you even begin trying to combat something that is so pervasive? Well, every one of us can help by believing and supporting our friends if they tell us they were sexually assaulted. We can have conversations with our peers about

consent (or direct them to the handy video comparing consent to drinking tea). We can step in when we see someone acting sexually aggressive, or trying to take a very intoxicated person to their room. Duke is also required to take steps to make campus a safe space for learning, free from gender-based discrimination, thanks to federal legislation called Title IX. What does that mean? It means that if a student experiences sexual harassment, stalking, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, or rape, Duke is required to take

action to help that survivor. That could be through counseling at the Women’s Center or CAPS; through residential and academic accommodations, like extensions on assignments, switching and relocating where you live; a process for filing a formal complaint that can result in disciplinary action; and much more. Failure to meet those obligations violates Title IX, and can result in federal investigation of the university (Duke just recently joined the list of 161 colleges and universities currently under investigation for violating Title IX). If you have been the victim of any form of sexual misconduct, which ranges from sexual harassment to rape, you have rights at this university. You have the right to be free from sexual harassment in your higher education, and there are tons of resources out there to help you exercise your rights. Know Your IX is a great website with endless information on all that Title IX requires of universities. For more Duke-specific information on Title IX, you can contact Duke’s Title IX Coordinator, Howard Kallem. You can file a formal complaint against another student through the Office of Student Conduct by contacting Victoria Krebs, the Associate Dean of Students, Title IX Outreach & Response. You can get free legal advice, assistance, and representation through the UNC law clinic, which the Women’s Center can help you set up. You can receive free counseling and academic accommodations through the Women’s Center and CAPS, which does not require you to make a formal report. You can meet other survivors and talk about how to make Duke a safer place for students through Duke Support, a student-run sexual assault survivor support group. You can always reach out to me if you want to talk about any of your options. There are resources for you here, and you will be believed. Too often, I hear that women are “just dealing” with what happened to them or “just dealing” with a person who keeps harassing them. No one should have to “just deal” with that kind of harassment and pain. We should give our friends the support they need. We should know about the resources Duke has to offer in case survivors want the help. And Duke should be more forthcoming about what they’re going to do to stop the epidemic on our campus. We should stop waiting for the next study. Dana Raphael is a Trinity junior. Her column runs on alternate Mondays.
