‘HB2 is set’: Professors say law is here for near future court split or because it affirmed the ruling, HB2’s bathroom provision would “almost certainly” be terminated. That does not necessarily mean the entire law will be struck down, however, he said.

“It’s a holding action for old-fashioned values,” he said. “A little bit like the last vestiges of Jim Crow laws.”

Claire Xiao The Chronicle Despite backlash since its introduction in March, North Carolina’s House Bill 2 is here to stay unless a Supreme Court decision repeals the bathroom provision of the law.

The bill’s most controversial provision restricts people to using the bathroom correlated to their gender from birth.

Tuesday’s election cemented Republican control of the North Carolina General Assembly, and professors noted that even if Roy Cooper wins the gubernatorial election, chances of HB2 being repealed are low.

“HB2 is set. Even if [Roy] Cooper wins, there will be no change. The legislature is still strongly Republican,” wrote Michael Munger, professor of political science, in an email.

“This is a non-issue.”

Where HB2 currently stands Although Cooper has pledged to repeal HB2 if elected governor, any proposal he issued would never pass due to the Republican legislature, John Aldrich, Pfizer-Pratt University professor of political science, explained.

“The problem is that the legislature has a veto override,” he said. “The governor has weaker formal powers in North Carolina than most states.”

Aldrich added that if incumbent Gov. Pat McCrory is reelected, HB2 “is not going to change or it’s only going to change a tiny bit.”

Ben Yang | The Chronicle

In September, United States District Judge Thomas Schroeder issued an injunction against the law’s bathroomrelated portions being enforced at the University of North Carolina. A full trial on the law’s constitutionality is scheduled in May, after having been delayed. Schroeder based his decision largely on an April federal injunction—in which the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that a transgender student in Virginia

could use the bathroom that matched his gender identity.

The Supreme Court has accepted the Virginia case, and Aldrich said the future of HB2 depends on what happens in that court.

When the Virginia case reaches the Supreme Court, Aldrich speculated that the decision would stand, noting that this decision will have implications for the law in North Carolina. If the Supreme Court allows that injunction to stand, either because the

Social implications Aldrich noted that moving forward, the social impact of HB2 would exceed economic consequences.

“The economics is real. There’s real money involved, but it’s not a huge hit to the state,” Aldrich said. “But it gives them a black eye and provides just enough substance to those who care about the issue as a matter of social justice.”

Senior Steven Soto, president of Blue Devils United, described his apprehension for the future of LBGTQ+ rights because he said HB2 prevents people from being their “full self.”

“When you’re not being able to be your full self, that means that’s going to translate into academics, into your extracurriculars, into your space just to be a student,” he said.

“If you have to leave a part of yourself behind or you can’t express yourself, it’s going to harm you.”

Blue Devils United has worked to encourage Duke to oppose HB2 more strongly and to provide gender neutral See HB2 on Page 12

Coach K: No timetable for 3 freshmen to return Staff Reports The Chronicle The Blue Devils opened the season with blowouts of Marist and Grand Canyon, but the uncertainty surrounding injuries to their top three freshmen continues to grow.

Head coach Mike Krzyzewski said there is no timetable for freshmen Marques Bolden, Jayson Tatum and Harry Giles to return after No. 1 Duke’s games Friday and Saturday, meaning the Blue Devils will take on No. 3 Kansas Tuesday in the Champions Classic without arguably their three most talented players. All three are projected NBA lottery picks.

“I don’t anticipate these guys playing on Tuesday, and they might not play all week,” Krzyzewski said after the Grand Canyon game Saturday.

Krzyzewski said after the Marist contest that Tatum might have tried to come back to practice too early from a left foot sprain.

The 6-foot-8 swingman was the team’s leading scorer in a 20-minute scrimmage at Countdown to Craziness before suffering the

injury Oct. 25 during one of Duke’s two fall pro days in front of NBA scouts.

Krzyzewski had originally said the team expected Tatum to miss the Blue Devils’ two exhibition games and play in the regular season opener—noting after a Nov. 4 exhibition that everyone but Giles should be ready—but the St. Louis native was in street clothes this weekend.

Bolden’s left lower-leg injury was announced after Duke’s final exhibition game last week, and when asked about how it happened, Krzyzewski said after the Marist game, “It wasn’t an event.... It’s too difficult to explain.”

Giles is still recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery he had in early October and was not expected to be ready for the regularseason opener, though Krzyzewski said after the last exhibition that he hoped the topranked recruit in the country could play by the end of November.

Without the trio, the Blue Devils primarily used six players Saturday against Grand Canyon, and will likely have their frontcourt

PASH Center opens with free Gen. Martin Dempsey brings ‘special dimension’ to classroom sexual health items for all Claire Ballentine The Chronicle The Peer Advocacy for Sexual Health Center celebrated its grand opening Friday evening with pizza, music and lots of free condoms.

Funded by Duke Student Government after a dispute in the DSG Judiciary, the PASH Center provides peer counseling as well as sexual health and pleasure products to students. After a few days of “test runs,” the center is now officially open in Griffin House on West Campus in a repurposed common room.

“We’re still trying to figure out what specific niche on campus we’re going to fill,” said DSG Executive Vice President Ilana

Weisman, a senior. “We’re hoping to be an after-hours location.”

The center currently has 16 peer educators—14 of whom were trained through a house course taught by Weisman and junior Riyanka Ganguly, vice president for equity and outreach, last Spring. It is open Thursday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The center is freely distributing condoms, dental dams and lubricant, which the Wellness Center orders for them in bulk.

In addition, they have a range of vibrators and other sex toys, which Weisman said are “demonstrative”—the center does not actually sell them but educators can provide See PASH CENTER on Page 12

Claire Ballentine | The Chronicle The center, located in Griffin House on West Campus, gives out free condoms, dental dams and lubricant.

Bre Bradham The Chronicle Select students this Spring will have the chance to take a class on civil-military relations with retired United States army general Martin Dempsey, who served as the 18th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2011 to 2015.

Dempsey, who earned his master’s degree in literature from Duke in 1984, is a Rubenstein Fellow for 2016. Besides his teaching duties, he is also involved with the American Grand Strategy program, which is dedicated to studying foreign policy. The class—which required an application to enroll—will be co-taught by Peter Feaver, a professor of political science and public policy, who emphasized the unique view that Dempsey brings to the classroom.

“When General Dempsey came to Duke, I suggested that he co-teach this course because he would bring such a special dimension to it,” Feaver said. “The research I’m doing, and what this class focuses on, is how people who have served in General Dempsey’s position have interacted with civilian leaders. He has lived that reality. I think it is a nice connection for students to see that interplay of theory and practice.”

For Dempsey, the experience he brings to the classroom is the culmination of 41 years of military service in the U.S. Army, having graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1974.

Dempsey has served in a variety of roles, from deployment with the Third Armored Division in support of Operation Desert Storm to commanding the 1st Armored Division and

ultimately being named the 18th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

He has earned numerous awards throughout his years of service, and it was recently announced he would receive one the most famous forms of recognition from Great Britain for his work to strengthen ties between Great Britain and the United States. In October, he was awarded knighthood.

“I was humbled,” wrote Dempsey on learning about the knighthood. “The honor means that our instinct about collaborating with like-minded nations who share our values and who want to make a positive difference in See DEMPSEY on Page 12

Future of 115th Congress: Students, professors weigh in Harrison Labban The Chronicle

The presidency was not the only election of importance this cycle—voters handed Republicans control of Congress for another two years as well.

Unified Republican control of government could mean that several previously-impossible policy initiatives may now find their way into law. Issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, women’s health policy and the future of Obamacare could be debated during the coming months.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s record on social issues worries some students, who believe those positions could become reality or at least go unchallenged.

“LGBTQ+ Americans essentially lost a huge advocate in the highest position, and when states pass discriminatory laws, it’s likely that the executive branch will just be complacent,” said junior Lisa Guraya, president of the Public Policy Studies Major’s Union. She noted that President Obama has been an important advocate for LGBTQ+ rights.

Prior to election day, pundits speculated that Democrats could take the majority in the Senate. There were 54 Republican senators and 46 Democratic-affiliated senators in 114th Congress. However, despite gaining two seats, the Democrats were not able to capture the Senate. Democrats were not predicted to regain control of the House, but they did pick up several seats.

Republican policy-proposals may make their way through Congress early next year, but they still may struggle to make it into law. Democrats have some options to slow down legislation, including filibustering in the Senate.

However, Guraya said she did not think the party can afford to become obstructionist.

“When it comes to other issues such as the

Carolyn Sun | The Chronicle

Affordable Care Act, lots of people are saying the Democrats will have to rely on filibustering, but, personally, I think the Democratic Party needs to be careful of that,” Guraya said. “If Democratic leaders stop everything Republicans are trying to do, they’ll become the party of stagnation, and it will affect them in the midterms. At this point, [the midterms] are what Democrats should be focusing on.”

Some policies may be slowed by friction between Trump’s White House and the legislative branches. Senior Adam Lemon, former chair of the Duke College Republicans, noted that

although President-elect Donald Trump would have an easier time working with a Republican Congress than a Democratic Congress, there could still be “serious tension.”

“Many of Trump’s policies are simply not conservative, so I would expect the two branches to cooperate on issues like the repeal of Obamacare, deregulation, tax cuts and increased defense spending,” Lemon said. “I just can’t see issues like paying for an actual wall or protectionist policies actually getting anywhere with Congress.”

Trump and the Republican leadership

differ ideologically as well, Lemon noted.

“I think Congress will simply budge very little on issues where Trump diverges from the conservative norm,” Lemon said. “If Paul Ryan retains the Speaker’s chair in the coming session, I would expect his ‘A Better Way’ policies to clash with Trump’s much more populist ones.”

Durham residents protest Trump victory in Sunday rally Alethea Toh The Chronicle Durham residents gathered at the Farmers’ Market Sunday morning to protest Presidentelect Donald Trump’s victory.

The rally, organized by Durham in Defiance, follows in the footsteps of likeminded demonstrators nationwide following Trump’s win Tuesday. Durham in Defiance, a new coalition formed in the aftermath of the election results, was joined by many other organizations including Durham Artists Movement, Durham for All, Durham Beyond Policing, Fight for $15, Black Youth Project100 and the Faculty Forward Network in North Carolina.

The peaceful demonstration included energetic singing and chanting, inspirational speeches, reflective conversations among the audience as well as an arts-and-crafts booth. Aaron Bryant, a member of Durham in Defiance, explained that the rally aims to build a community and provide a safe space for people who are hurting after the elections.

“There have been millions of people since the elections who have lost hope and are in despair, and because of that there’s been hundreds of thousands of people who have gone into the streets based on anger and frustration,” Bryant said. “So this rally is trying to bring both people who feel alone and upset and people who are full of love in a common space to express all their emotions and figure out how we can move forward as a community.”

Saba Taj, a Muslim mixed-media visual artist and activist whose work explores Islamophobia and sexism, noted that many Durham residents are feeling “galvanized and activated” and that the rally provides a

platform to express their energy.

“These conversations that are being facilitated and the activities that are happening here are part of coming together in a moment of trauma,” she said. “I really hope that the folks here make connections with people they haven’t known before as well as some of these local organizations present here.”

Since election day, there has reportedly been ​a spike in hate crimes especially against people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, Muslims, Jews and women. Although Taj said she has not experienced any negative backlash herself, she related how she is now more mindful of the way she is perceived in public and fearful of racism that might be directed toward her.

“I don’t wear the Hijab all the time since Trump was elected, although it’s something that I used to wear every day,” Taj said. “I also do question how people are seeing and viewing me as a queer, Muslim woman of color.”

Ali Rodriguez, a Hispanic Durham native, shared how her friends in other states have suffered discrimination due to both their gender and religion.

“One of my friends, a female, got grabbed on the subway in New York, and another friend told me that his friend had her Hijab ripped off her head in Florida,” Rodriguez said.

Bryant noted that he has also been a victim of verbal abuse because of his race, such as when someone yelled “Go back to Africa” at him.

Chelsea Earls, a white Durham native, said she feels she has always “lived in a Durham bubble” and that this election has woken her up to the dangers of white supremacy. Earls, who has a 9-year-old daughter on the autism spectrum, expressed worries about Trump’s proposal to overhaul or cut back funding on Medicaid and struggling public schools.

In the eyes of many, the U.S. has become deeply polarized after the elections, with public figures such as President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Trump calling for unity. Despite Trump’s promise, many doubt his ability to reunite the nation once he takes office.

Bryant shared how he feels “it is not in Trump’s political interest to bridge this divide in America.” Bennett Carpenter, a current fourth-year graduate student at Duke and a member of Durham in Defiance, shared the same sentiments.

“I don’t think we can rely on Trump to bring this country together,” he said. “I think that he has consistently campaigned on values of divisiveness, hatred and fear, and that’s not where reconciliation and true progress can come from.”

Moving forward, Bryant said he believes that the U.S. population should continue to stand up against Trump.

“It is our responsibility to make sure he does not succeed in the continued vilification of women, the continued hatred of queer and trans people and the continued destruction of the working class people,” he said.

Patrick Snipes, a member of the Workers World Party, said he believes that more people should join in the nationwide protest movement against Trump.

However, others like Earl expressed wishes for a restoration of peace in Durham.

“I hope that we’ll learn to be a community that can learn to take care of each other and provide for each other in ways that we haven’t in the past,” she said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Allen’s double-double powers Duke in 35-point win Hank Tucker The Chronicle At the second-half under-12 media timeout, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski voiced his displeasure after the Blue Devils had given up a 7-1 run.

But even without its top three freshmen, Duke was still up by 21.

Junior Grayson Allen poured in 25 points and 10 rebounds to lead the No. 1 Blue Devils to a 96-61 victory against Grand Canyon Saturday evening at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke’s backcourt found its stroke from the perimeter after a slow start and also attacked the basket with ease all evening—the Blue Devils got to the free throw line 31 times against an aggressive Antelope defense.

Amile Jefferson, Frank Jackson, Luke Kennard and Matt Jones all joined Allen in double figures.

“We have a lot of depth, a lot of playmakers that are on the court. We share the ball very well,” Kennard said.

“We’ve got to use our defense to lead to our offense, and that’s one thing that I’ve seen a lot from the team so far.”

A day after Duke jumped out to a 12-0 lead on its way to a 94-49 season-opening rout against Marist, the Blue Devils (2-0) took a little longer to get going Saturday.

The Antelopes (0-1) ran out to a 1712 lead in the early going, with junior guard Shaq Carr slicing through the Duke defense and getting a few easy layups, but they soon went ice cold. After starting the game 8-for-15 from the field, Grand

Jim Liu | The Chronicle All-American guard Grayson Allen led the Blue Devils with 25 points and 10 rebounds Saturday afternoon.

Canyon’s offense struggled once its best players got in foul trouble.

Jackson capped an 8-0 run with a 3-pointer to give the Blue Devils a 20-17 lead, and they never trailed the rest of the way. Jackson finished with 21 points on an efficient 7-of-10 shooting and 4-of-6 clip from 3-point range.

“Frank did a great job of that tonight coming off the bench and playing with a verve, lifting our team up,” Jefferson said.

“He’s crafty, he’s quick and he understands

the spacing of the floor for where he needs to be to be most advantageous.”

Duke broke a 30-26 game open with a 30-5 run in just an eight-minute span late in the first half and continuing after the break. A no-look pass from Kennard to Jackson for a transition dunk put the Blue Devils in front 34-26, and the game got out of hand from there.

“We needed that boost, and I think we got the energy going,” Allen said. “Our crowd was great. They were loud, and they

were feeding off of us and we were feeding off of them. There’s so much energy that it gets me going personally and it should get the whole team going.”

A slew of turnovers—Grand Canyon finished with 21 giveaways—led to easy points for Duke in a fast-paced game, and the Blue Devils soon started to find their shooters in transition. Duke started the game just 3-of-14 from beyond the arc, but made eights of its See M. BASKETBALL on Page 8

Brown, defense lead Blue Devils past Penn Ben Leonard The Chronicle After transferring from Maryland and being forced to sit out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, junior guard Lexie Brown waited nearly two years to make her debut at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

In her home debut Sunday, Brown showed fans what they have been missing.

After a scorching DUKE 98 18-4 run to begin LIBERTY 38 the game, Brown’s 20 points helped the PENN 55 Blue Devils hold off DUKE 68 Pennsylvania 68-55 Sunday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Even with a subpar shooting performance from AllACC guard Rebecca Greenwell, who went just 5-of-16 from the field, Duke held the reigning Ivy League champions to 30.8 percent shooting and never trailed in the contest.

“I look at the game with a different appreciation, a different love now. Game days are extra special to me now,” Brown said. “I definitely am so happy that I’m here. I made the right decision to come here. That year was long but I learned so much and I am able to show what I learned this upcoming season.”

Before Sunday’s game, Brown hadn’t

looked comfortable with her shot, going 2-of-13 from the field in the Blue-White Scrimmage and 4-of-12 in a seasonopening 98-38 victory against Liberty Friday night.

“She’s still trying to figure out her way,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said of Brown. “When you don’t play for a year, there’s a transition to coming back to competition....

Lexie’s busting through it a little bit.

There’s a real process when you haven’t played for a year.”

But the former All-American found her rhythm in the first quarter against Pennsylvania, scoring eight points, including a buzzer-beating trey to end the period. Point guard Kyra Lambert gave the Blue Devils (2-0) early momentum with a 3-pointer and oldfashioned three-point play after stealing the inbounds pass, sparking a 13-0 run to start the game. Lambert finished with 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting.

Although the Blue Devils got off to a hot start offensively, winning the first quarter 26-14, the Quaker defense stiffened after that. Pennsylvania (0-1) ranked second in the nation in blocks and eighth in scoring defense last year, and held Duke to nine secondquarter points to get back in the game.

Pennsylvania’s combination of zone and man-to-man defenses stymied the Blue Devil offense—the Quakers

blocked six shots and hung with the Blue Devils on the boards to stay within striking distance.

“It was an interesting defense. We still continued to run our offense, just there weren’t the normal openings,” Greenwell said. “We kind of had to just see what the defense gave us and just play from there.”

All-Ivy League forward Michelle Nwokedi and Ivy League Player of

the Year Sydney Stipanovich led the Quakers with 38 points and 23 rebounds combined. Duke forward Oderah Chidom was tasked with guarding the pair of 6-foot-3 post players, and did her best to limit the damage, scoring eight points and pulling down 14 rebounds in the victory.

Duke blows late 2-0 lead in quarterfinal collapse Andrew Donohue The Chronicle With 10 minutes left in Sunday’s game, it looked like the Blue Devil seniors were about to advance to college field hockey’s final weekend for the third time.

In a season that saw Duke earn its best start in program history, first No. 1 ranking and first No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, AMER 0 that outcome felt DUKE 3 like this team’s destiny.

3 DEL But that promise came to a crashing 2 DUKE halt.

Duke fell to Delaware 3-2 in overtime Sunday afternoon at Jack Katz Stadium—its first loss this year when leading by multiple goals. The Blue Devils had a two-goal lead late in the second half, but succumbed to a furious Blue Hen rally that sent the game into overtime. In the extra session, Duke fell prey to a season-ending goal barely two minutes into the period.

It took an unbelievable solo effort to hand the Blue Devils their first home loss. Delaware sophomore midfielder Greta Nauck got the ball at midfield in overtime, turned one defender the wrong way then proceeded to split two other defenders with one move and bear down on the net unchallenged. She then calmly chipped the ball over the outstretched arm of goalkeeper Sammi

Steele into the net for her nation-leading 31st goal of the season.

“They have some very, very talented players on their team,” Duke head coach Pam Bustin said. “In critical moments, those really talented players got the ball and capitalized on it.”

Up until the 60-minute mark of the game, Duke (16-4) was by far the dominant team, outshooting Delaware 11-2 in the first half and putting the Blue Hen defense under extreme pressure. That pressure finally produced results in the

50th minute. Off a penalty corner, junior defender Alyssa Chillano received the ball near the top of the box and lofted a shot over Delaware goalkeeper Emmeline Oltmans into the net for her team-leading 13th goal of the season.

The Blue Devils continued their momentum by adding another goal in the 59th minute off a beautifullyworked counterattack. Sophomore Rose Tynan got the ball at the edge of the circle and slid a centering pass to second-team All-ACC forward Aisling

Naughton. The graduate student faked a shot, tricking Oltmans into a dive, then easily lifted the ball over her into the net to give Duke what seemed like an insurmountable lead.

The last 10 minutes of the game, however, were an entirely different contest, with Oltmans’ 11 saves on the afternoon setting up her team’s rally.

The Blue Hens (21-2) refused to keel over despite the 2-0 deficit and fought back to bring the game back within one in the 62nd minute off a penalty corner of their own. Nauck, also the nation’s leader in goals per game, fired the ball to the near post past a diving Steele to give Delaware hope of a comeback.

That hope was realized in the 68th minute when the Blue Hens, who dominated proceedings in pressing for an equalizer, scored a tying goal. It came off yet another penalty corner when Steele saved the initial shot, but the rebound fell perfectly to Delaware’s Kayla Devlin. The midfielder then slid a pass to freshman Ally Pollak, who tapped in her sixth goal of the year to complete the quick comeback and cement the Blue Devil collapse.

“At the end, Delaware put the pressure on,” Bustin said. “They bumped somebody up and were putting more pressure on us. We handled it pretty well, just got some unfortunate breaks that started building up.”

Blue Devils roll in Round of 64, to host next 2 rounds Jack Dolgin The Chronicle On Friday night, Ella Stevens and her freshmen teammates gathered in her dorm room and watched their postseason prospects improve CHAR 0 when No. 2 seed DUKE 3 Notre Dame fell in penalties to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

The upset meant Duke would host the second and third rounds of the NCAA tournament—if the Blue Devils could get

past the first weekend.

And No. 3 seed Duke did just that, with Stevens leading her team to a 3-0 win against Charlotte in the first round of the NCAA tournament Saturday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium. Stevens scored the first goal 10 minutes in, then assisted Toni Payne and Mia Gyau in the second half in Duke’s first game in nearly two weeks.

“Ella got her legs in the rest, Toni got her legs in the rest,” Blue Devil head coach Robbie Church said. “For the team, no question the best thing that happened was being eliminated on penalties [by Florida State in the ACC quarterfinals].”

Sanjeev Dasgupta | The Chronicle Freshman Ella Stevens and senior Toni Payne celebrate one of the team’s three goals Saturday.

Duke will take on Illinois State in the Round of 32.

Stevens scored a goal that she thought should not have counted to start the game.

Payne dribbled outside of the box and fed the freshman, who finished a shot into the bottom-right corner and out of the reach of goalkeeper Anna Shelden for her teamleading ninth goal of the year.

“Honestly I was offsides,” Stevens said.

“I kind of looked at the ref and I was still there, and I was like, ‘Oh God, gotta shoot,’ so I shot.”

Charlotte—which Duke outshot 15-3 on the day—secured a penalty 19 minutes later when Martha Thomas tiptoed down the baseline near the Blue Devil goal.

Although defender Schuyler Debree was trying to force Thomas out of bounds, she stayed in bounds and moved closer to the goal, drawing a foul as defender Lizzy Raben slid in and got a piece of Thomas as well as the ball.

But the junior got all iron.

Her penalty kick hit to the top-right corner of the frame, bouncing away from the goal. The 49ers (11-9-2) sent a cross back into the box but junior goalkeeper EJ Proctor punched it away to preserve the lead.

From there Duke (13-4-3) took control the rest of the way. In the 50th minute Stevens returned the favor to Payne. The Grayson, Ga., native flicked the ball over the back line, and Payne then chipped it into the bottom-left corner of the goal over an encroaching Shelden.

“We’ve been working on it all week in

practice,” Payne said. “It was just kind of muscle memory.”

For Payne, it marked a game that could have been her last at Koskinen Stadium had she lost or the Fighting Irish won Friday night. But with her dad as vocal as anyone in the stands, the first-team AllACC forward brought as much energy she has all season in her 11th career NCAA tournament contest.

The Birmingham, Ala., native finished with three shots and recorded her second assist by again connecting with Stevens. This time in the 69th minute, Payne found Stevens at the top of the box, who quickly controlled the ball and dished it to Gyau.

“We haven’t really shot the three the way we can, and part of that is we’re playing very hard defensively,” Krzyzewski said. “You can’t simulate that in practice.”

There is still no timetable for the return of freshmen Marques Bolden, Jayson Tatum and Harry Giles, meaning Jefferson could be on an island in the post for a while if Jeter does not step up consistently. Jeter also struggled with foul trouble early and spent most of the second half with four fouls.

Allen led Duke in rebounding, as the All-American was forced to play 37 minutes given the team’s limited depth.

“We had actually 21 perimeter defensive rebounds, and that’s been a point of emphasis for us,” Krzyzewski said. “That helps us in the fast break, because then those guys can just blow it out of there.”

The Blue Devils will need more production in the post to complement their backcourt’s impressive start Tuesday night when they take on No. 3 Kansas in the Champions Classic in New York. The Jayhawks dropped their season opener against No. 11 Indiana 103-99 in overtime Friday.

depth tested by the Jayhawks, who are coming off a 103-99 loss to No. 11 Indiana Friday.

Kansas has two of the best penetrating guards in the country in Frank Mason III and Devonte’ Graham, and the duo combined for 24 free throw attempts against the Hoosiers.

Without three of its best forwards, Duke will count on graduate student Amile Jefferson and sophomore Chase Jeter, with freshman Javin DeLaurier and sophomore Antonio Vrankovic potentially seeing minutes off the bench.

“We’re a little bit undermanned now.

No one feels sorry for us because everyone thinks we have an excessive amount of men,” Krzyzewski said Friday. “We’re just going to shut those guys down for a bit.... I’m going to be really adamant on taking a longer time instead of a shorter time.”

Ian Jaffe | The Chronicle Sophomore Chase Jeter had just three points and two rebounds Saturday after a strong game Friday.

The freshman took a touch and hit a shot with the outside of her right foot into the bottom right corner of the goal, celebrating with a jump of exhilaration.

“Lately Robbie’s been putting me deeper, I’m not the highest player,” Stevens said. “I work well when I have the ball and can turn and play through balls. And I think that’s what I’m best at. So it was just having that freedom in the middle of the field.”

After the strike, Church subbed out most of his starters, allowing the Blue Devils to rest before their game Friday night against Illinois State, which topped Michigan in penalties Saturday evening. Church said Duke will likely be without sophomore Taylor Racioppi again, but she is making progress and could still play in a late postseason run after missing nine straight games with a lower-leg injury.

It was a bittersweet win for Church, defeating a program he led from 1994 to 1998 as head coach in Charlotte. After taking the 49ers to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 1998, he is looking for the Blue Devils’ first-ever NCAA championship.

And in the words of sophomore Kat McDonald, as she did a little shimmy during the postgame stretches, “We’re still dancing.”

primary post players—junior Erin Mathias, senior Kendall Cooper and redshirt sophomore Lyneé Belton— struggled to make the same impact, combining for just four points on 2-of10 shooting and 11 rebounds.

“She had a tough assignment to try to maneuver with those players, but the fact that she pulled 14 rebounds in between the two of them shows how tough she can be and how she’s willing to go after the ball,” McCallie said of Chidom. “We’ve got to get some more double-figure rebounders to join her, but that was important to see what she could do.”

Despite its success in the post, Pennsylvania struggled to get its other players going offensively. The Quakers went 6-of-27 from 3-point range, squandering many chances to cut into Duke’s lead.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Brown and Greenwell—who finished with 17 points and eight rebounds—allowed Duke to extend its lead to 15 early in the fourth quarter, and the Blue Devils secured a hard-fought win against the Quakers for the second straight season.

Duke will be back in action Tuesday evening against Longwood.

FIELD HOCKEY from page 7 could not build a bigger lead earlier in the game despite outshooting Delaware 23-13 and creating several highpercentage chances, including one in the first half when first-team All-ACC forward Heather Morris was one-on-one with Oltmans after stealing the ball from a defender. But the senior placed the ball just wide with her shot, finishing her illustrious career with a nine-game stretch without a goal.

The Blue Devils also had a goal disallowed midway through the second half for a foul committed just before the ball went in the net.

It looked like Duke would still prevail even with the missed opportunities.

But Morris and the rest of the seniors that led the team to two Final Fours, including a championship game loss in 2013, saw their Blue Devil careers come to a sudden end. Duke was the team celebrating a road upset last year in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals, but this time around it was Delaware, which will

carry its 17-game winning streak into the Final Four.

“They’re a great class,” Chillano said of the team’s seniors. “They made an impact on us and we’re hoping to bring their values that they gave to us, we’re going to bring them through for the next couple years that we’re all here. They’re a great group of girls.”

onald J. Trump is now the President-elect of the United States after an election season that divided our country like no other. No matter your political persuasion, the reality stands that last Wednesday campus fell silent. The quiet halls of buildings, the muted sounds coming from main quad and the shuffling few in the West Union all reflected the shell-shock, fear and questioning uncertainty felt by our campus community.

For some students, this election was politics as usual and they voted along party lines. For others, this election was as hopeless as any other and they abstained along with some 45 percent of eligible voters. For still others, the election was unusually hardfought but November 8 and its aftermath would make no great difference in their lives either way. Such are the privileges of many of us on campus.

But for others still, this election was personal. It became centered on a man who looked them in the eye on national television and time and again invalidated their identities, families, stories and very places in American society. People across the country were targeted by rhetoric that isolated, intimidated and threatened in a way that was previously unthinkable on a national stage.

Whatever you make of the actual conservative

onlinecomment

“Many silent Trump voters were fully aware of the vituperative, condescending, threatening statements spoken by their friends. [Silent support of Trump is] not [motivated by] shame when [they’re] being bullied...If you’re terrified of handing the power of the presidency to a candidate you despise, perhaps you ought to do what you can to limit the power of the presidency. There have been eight years to turn back the clock on the George W. Bush imperial presidency; instead, Barack Obama and the Left embraced it, and expanded it far beyond what it ever was before.”

political platform, Donald Trump sounded notes of racism, Islamophobia, sexism and prejudice all too clearly in his candidacy. He left no doubt for supporters that his vision of America would allow them break sharply from “what Barack Obama has done to this country, so sad.” Not every Trump supporter is a bigot by any means, but Trump’s election has nonetheless emboldened the very worst members of our society in recent days: At the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, a

Muslim woman observing hijab was approached by a stranger who demanded she remove her headscarf or he would set her on fire with a lighter. At the University of Pennsylvania, black first-years were added en masse to a GroupMe message before being sent racial slurs and violent images. At a middle school in Michigan, students chanted “Build the wall” in their cafeteria, and at New York University, “Trump!” was written on the door of a Muslim prayer room in the engineering school. In downtown Durham, a vandalized building declared “Black Lives Don’t Matter and Neither Does [sic] Your Votes.”

Across the country, swastikas have been graffitied, including on the doors of several Jewish students at the New School in New York City, often accompanied by white supremacist messages and Trump’s name.

The list of incidents goes on and on.

This is not “liberal fear mongering.” This is what has shaken students. This is reality for those who now feel millions have either tacitly or purposefully forwarded along a presidential ticket that freely lent a megaphone to messages of prejudice now being celebrated by a radical minority who are acting out their hate.

When students asked last week for midterms to be postponed, for the election to not be discussed just yet or simply for help, love and support from their fellow students, the skepticism and dismissal that many were met with felt personal, right in line with all the unseen pressures bearing down on them in the wake of the election. Until those who voted for Trump in spite of, and not for, his hateful speech and impacts start attending protests against Trump-inspired hate and demonstrating this supposed caveat to their vote, the hate, uncertainty and fear will continue.

This is the first editorial in a three-part arc about the presidential election and its aftermath. Tomorrow’s editorial will focus on re-engagement with politics.

Letter to the editor

o President Brodhead: Last Wednesday marked 6 months since the proposed natural gas plant was first announced publicly. As you know, ever since this announcement was made, the plant has been met with significant concern among students, faculty, alumni, and community groups. The article published today in the Charlotte Business Journal is the most recent of a string of regional and local media coverage on opposition to the proposed plant.

Namely, concerns center on the impact of the proposed plant on the climate and on Duke University’s climate legacy. The carbon reduction claims put forth by the university are based on a skewed accounting methodology that absolves Duke University of any responsibility of emissions from the proposed plant itself. Faculty and community groups stand firm that the carbon benefits of the plant have been wildly overstated and

count on environmental leadership to come from our federal government, it is all the more necessary that institutions such as Duke University pioneer the way and forge a path for our state and region to follow.

As we approach the 25th anniversary of the Nicholas School of the Environment and the final semester of your term as President of this university, let us secure your legacy and Duke University’s legacy as a champion of true climate solutions, rather than let this momentous year be marred by a brand-new, long-term fossil fuel expansion.

I urge you to publicly agree to the stipulations of the resolution passed by the Graduate and Professional Student Council, which call on you to create a formal process of review over this proposed power plant by November 18, so that future changes to the proposal can be examined and issues such as campus energy reliability, which deserves

will likely increase overall carbon emissions.

Claims that the plant will be directly fueled with biogas in the future are highly tenuous, given that there is no plan for a commitment to biogas to be included in the contract and that the incentives for Duke Energy to invest in the highly expensive pipeline infrastructure to bring biogas from swine farms to Duke University are simply nonexistent, no matter how Duke University envisions it can help to encourage biogas development in the state.

To continue to claim that this power plant represents climate action by the university is neglectful of the Climate Action Plan that the university has committed to and that you signed into effect, which calls on institutions of higher learning to be models of climate leadership and innovation.

Given the outcome of the presidential election, it is clear that bold climate action is more needed now than ever. If we cannot

attention independent of this gas plant debate, can be thoroughly investigated. Furthermore, I remind you of your promise for Duke University to play “a constructive and collaborative role as a responsible environmental citizen in the life of the surrounding community” and ask that you carefully consider the objections that have been raised about this plant’s harms to ratepayers, public health, and the climate.

We all know that if we are to take climate change seriously, we must take ambitious steps at rapid decarbonization to arrive at a renewable energy future. Duke University has the tools, the resources, and the brainpower to get us to that future. The first step is to reject this proposed fossil fuel plant and to invest instead in the clean, renewable energy that this campus, this state and this country needs.

We’re all gonna die, Dear Trump supporter but not yet W

I

never thought I’d use the words “President Donald Trump” in a sentence. But I am less worried about his election than many, and I hold out hope that we can all learn some valuable lessons. Here are a few.

1. It is wrong to think of democratic elections as producing policies or people that “we” choose. There is no “we.” As Professor Mike Munger has written, “Democracy is a check on tyranny, not a conjuring of the will of the people.” Citizens vote for very different reasons, many of which are idiosyncratic. Some Trump supporters are racists, but many are protectionists

too, are motivated by a desire navigate a complicated world and promote the good, as they see it.

Some of Trump’s supporters are contemptible—a “basket of deplorables”— but most are a collection of good people who feel disaffected for a variety of reasons.

Some of these reasons are discussed by Charles Murray in his book Coming Apart, which documents the increasing cultural disconnect between the urban educated and the rural uneducated. Murray tried to discuss these views a few years ago at Duke, but was protested by students who staged a “walk out.” Turns out we all have something to learn from people we are

who want their jobs back, and others are just sick of political correctness and of being told that they need to check their privilege before they speak.

In general, voters choose candidates that symbolically express their identities rather than combing through the details of policy and voting in a way that maximizes social welfare. This makes perfect sense, given the extraordinary unlikelihood of affecting an electoral outcome by casting a vote. In market settings, we carefully weigh up the costs and benefits of goods, and choose within our budget constraints.

But politics is not a trip to the store, where we bring a check list of items, along with an understanding of how much we’re willing to spend, and what we’ll have to forgo to get what we want.

It is more like a trip to Cameron Indoor, where we get drunk, show the world what colors we wear, sing songs, chant slogans, repeat rituals and bond with each other by demonizing the other team. As Joseph Schumpeter argued, “The pyrotechnics of party management and party advertising, slogans and marching tunes, are not accessories.

They are of the essence of politics.”

In politics, because our vote doesn’t cause the election to go one way or another, we are free to vote for a candidate who stands for “winning” and brings back “Ameritude” even if it’s unclear exactly what that entails.

2. We can all do a better job of learning from people we disagree with. It is always tempting to see our opponents as representing all that is wrong with the world—evil, intolerant, stupid. And sometimes these things are true. But often they are not, and it is worth understanding the psychological mechanisms that lead us to see the world this way.

Our moral psychology is an evolved mental module that worked reasonably well for our ancestors who lived in small groups, but is not especially good at sorting out large scale political disagreement. If anything, it seems to be leading to more polarization and intolerance, especially with the emergence of social media – a tool that more often provokes political warfare than healthy deliberation.

One solution to the problem of polarization and intolerance is to make a deliberate effort to find people you disagree with and talk to them. Try to see what makes them tick. Read some of the books and articles they send you. You may disagree, but usually you’ll find that they,

e share a last name, but I haven’t called you since last Christmas.

You should know that I love you, but you should also know that I’m pissed.

I avoided this conversation because I didn’t think it would be relevant, and that’s my fault. Only six percent of my classmates at Duke voted with you, and I didn’t expect sixty million people to do the same. Mostly, I was surprised by how easy it was to fall out of touch. I suppose that Duke has that effect.

I will not rehash why I did not vote for Donald Trump, but before we move on, you should understand why my friends are upset—upset in a way that’s unusual for politics. If you see protests on the evening news tonight and don’t understand why, or if you think we’re being melodramatic, then I owe you an explanation.

These people you see in the streets—

insufficient to explain away sixty million votes. I believe my friend was wrong, but not because of your reassurance.

Like Obama said: “Trust, but verify.”

Trump won because independents agreed with you—the same argument that got non college-educated white voters to show up at the polls worked for swing voters, too. Independents supported Trump by a six-point margin, and latedeciding voters broke his way by five.

And they—you—wanted change.

Forty percent of the electorate said “can bring change” is the most important quality in a candidate, far exceeding “right experience” (21 percent) or “good judgment” (20 percent).

More than change, you wanted a better outcome, and you didn’t think another Clinton presidency would help. Three-

inclined to disagree with.

3. Power is dangerous, especially government power. Political power is different than the social power that comes from being beautiful, rich, athletic, or smart. When an individual has these qualities, she has some degree of power over other people, but she can’t force them to do things. Governments can.

They can force us to do things by passing laws, and that can be good or bad.

When the “right” people are in power— those who agree with us—we tend to accept it when they pass laws that impose our particular worldview on others, rather than laws that are neutral between different creeds. We also tend to look the other way when they bend the rules in our favor. For example, during the last two administrations, Presidents Bush and Obama have increasingly issued executive orders to accomplish legislative goals when Congress failed to agree with them. But this is a dangerous precedent.

Those who despise Trump and those who support him should remember that eventually the “wrong” people will gain power, and they will use it to do things we deeply disagree with. This demonstrates the dangers of giving the federal government too much authority to determine how we live our lives or spend our money. Monopolists tend to abuse their power, and that is as true of government agencies as it is of private firms. The government has guns, and those guns can be pointed at its “customers,” even when we don’t want the legislative products it forces us to buy.

John Stuart Mill warned that “the very principle of constitutional government requires it to be assumed that political power will be abused to promote the particular purposes of the holder; not because it always is so, but because such is the natural tendency of things, to guard against which is the special use of free institutions.”

So, whatever your political views, let’s take the opportunity to learn from last week’s election – by recognizing that large groups of voters are motivated by very different ends, by listening to people we disagree with, and by reminding ourselves why it’s important not to cede large swaths of our liberties to a government in the hopes that it will effectively promote our parochial goals.

these friends I watch sob in their dorm rooms—they are not merely disappointed. They are afraid.

They are Muslim Americans who fear that their families will be categorically banned from entering the United States, that their hijabs will be ripped off in public, that their national service will be mocked, that their privacy will be revoked and that their names will appear in a national database.

They are black Americans who fear a candidate who refused to rebuke the KKK and inspired Klan marches miles from campus, and remember “Law and Order” under President Reagan as the beginning of the new Jim Crow.

They are Latinx Americans who fear that their families will be torn apart, and that their children will be stereotyped as criminals, drug dealers and killers.

They are survivors—like some people in our family—who are fearful that their boys will learn that bragging about sexual assault isn’t a big enough deal to prevent them from winning the presidency.

They are disabled Americans who wonder whether they are actually deserving of mockery.

They are LGBTQ+ Americans—like me—who fear more than losing the right to marry or protection from discrimination, but fear a Vice President-elect who believes in funding conversion therapy to cure me of my homosexuality.

This is not about the repeal of the ACA, a conservative court, or even about the inexperience of a Commander-in-Chief who doesn’t understand the nuclear triad, threatens the freedom of the press, advocates for war crimes, misunderstands basic constitutional protections, and failed to earn the vote of any living Republican president.

This is personal. That is why, on Wednesday, I awoke to a friend proclaiming in The Chronicle that “a majority of my country told me that I am less than human.”

Yes, your vote felt personal.

But I know you. And I don’t think his statement was fair.

Before you explain yourself, you should know that your “I love you’s” are

fouths of voters believe the economy is either “poor” or “not good.” And while I’ve been in economics courses at Duke looking at charts and spreadsheets, you’ve been at home, thinking about that factory we drove by on the way to the old family farm, upset that your friends can’t find work ever since they installed those automated robots on the assembly line. Sometimes it’s hard to see past the textbook. I’m learning that now.

Besides, Clinton wasn’t perfect—the emails did muddy the water. The news tends to draw false equivalencies between candidates—especially between their shortcomings—so maybe you believed they were similarly problematic. That equivocation was wrong, but it wasn’t unreasonable.

I believe you when you say that you didn’t vote for his bigotry—you probably voted in spite of it. I do not think your vote was an endorsement of Trump’s dark vision. I think you’re just tired, and I know you’re not alone.

The single mother in North Carolina who doesn’t understand why health insurance is still expensive did not go to the polls to vote against decency. The unemployed coal miner in Pennsylvania without rent money did not go the polls to vote against decency. The small business owner in Ohio who believes in a conservative court did not go to the polls to vote against decency.

Even so, they voted against decency. I have come to believe that intentions do not matter when actions hurt real people, and although you didn’t mean it, your vote hurt.

At a place like Duke, it’s easy to hyperbolize others’ intentions, and it’s easy to condescend. It’s especially easy when we haven’t spoken since last Christmas. But now that we’re talking again, I promise to stop.

There is a lot of work still to do— work confronting hate and bigotry, work confronting misunderstanding and selfrighteousness. I think we’re up to it.

PASH CENTER from page 2 info on how to purchase them elsewhere. In the future, Weisman explained that they are hoping to be able to conduct transactions for sex toys on the premises.

Funding toward sexual pleasure products drew initial criticism from members of the student body and heavy debate within DSG. The meeting after the PASH budget was passed, a second bill reduced funding for sexual pleasure products. That bill was eventually struck down by the DSG Judiciary, restoring the initial funding.

Weisman stressed that the center is designed to be purely an educational facility because research shows that college students are more comfortable talking to their peers about sex than with adults.

“Anything said in the room stays in the room,” Weisman said. “We are not mandatory reporters.”

The center hopes to hold discussion groups about sexual issues and provide resources for “all different bodies,” she added.

They currently have a question box both in the center and in the West Union where students can submit their queries about sexual health issues. The PASH educators respond directly to the individuals, but names are not otherwise revealed without consent. However, Weisman noted that the peer educators are not there to give medical advice but to provide students with information.

To assure anonymity for those at the center itself, names will not be taken down during counseling or using products. Instead, students’ unique ID numbers will be used to track credit balance.

Although the center is located in the Clocktower Quadrangle right now, it hopes to have a spot in the new Student Health and Wellness Center set to open in January 2017, she added.

Ganguly said that she was happy with the about 100 people who attended the grand opening, noting that their current location in Craven is convenient for students.

Several students at the opening said they were excited about having this new resource on campus.

“I think it’s amazing,” said sophomore Virginia Reid. “I think it’s very needed—a place to open up conversations about sex.”

Sophomore Adam Bullock, who is currently taking the house course taught

by Weisman and other peer educators, said that he got involved in the project because he is passionate about combatting sexuallytransmitted diseases and the “rampant sex negativity at Duke.”

Others noted that they like how the center provides sexual resources right on campus.

“I’m excited to see what it turns into,” said junior Mellie Bonanno. “Especially when it has the opportunity to start selling products.”

CONGRESS from page 3 House, said Republican governance could have benefits, particularly for the budget.

“Ending the so-called ‘sequester’ could do away with across-the-board restrictions that don’t allow ‘spending to be strategic,’” Feaver said, adding that a stable budget might actually benefit research universities such as Duke.

Although their reelection is still yet to be determined, it is expected that Republican Rep. Paul Ryan will remain Speaker of the House, Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi will hold her seat as House Minority Leader and Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will remain Senate Majority Leader. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York is likely to replace retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

The majority of governorships and state legislatures also saw decisive victories for the Republican Party.

FIGHT STIGMA

DEMPSEY from page 2 the world is the right instinct.”

The ceremony will be held at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. some time in the next few months, officially bestowing on Dempsey the title of honorary knight of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

The honorary knight’s return to Duke as a Rubenstein Fellow was based on his interest in developing leadership in young people.

“What brought me back to Duke was the commitment of the University to develop leaders of consequence,” he wrote. “As a nation, we will need to think our way through the challenges we will face in the future. Our nation’s leaders will need expertise, humility and courage. Duke is committed to developing such leaders.”

Dempsey splits his time at Duke between the Sanford School of Public Policy next Spring and the Fuqua School of Business this Fall.

Outside of the classroom, he has been very involved with the American Grand Strategy program, helping to bring in high-profile speakers for the program such as White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough.

“I think this is one of the most important benefits of Duke attracting professors who come from such important positions, like General Dempsey,” wrote senior Tyler Coe, who plans to take Feaver and Dempsey’s class in the Spring. “These professors are the people who are best positioned to then bring other people from important positions to Duke.”

For Feaver, co-teaching with someone who has such extensive experience in the field makes the course a learning experience for him. In the classroom, he says, Dempsey plays the role of practitioner and has a military voice, while Feaver is the professor and civilian.

“I really enjoy teaching with him,” Feaver said. “I respect him for the service he’s given our country, but he’s also just a delightful human

being. It’s a lot of fun.”

Dempsey wrote that his favorite thing to do in his free time is to be with his wife, Deanie, and his nine grandchildren.

He also tries to be active in the Duke community and share his time with “the next great generation here at Duke.”

Dempsey explained this comes from his belief that those blessed with “uncommon leadership opportunities should share those experiences.”

Feaver also shared an experience from the last time he taught with Dempsey.

“He had the class over to his house at the end of the course. That was a special thing for the students,” he said. “He’s famously IrishAmerican. He also has a large collection of Irish whiskey, so he was very proud to show off his incredibly extensive collection.”

HB2 from page 1 bathrooms on campus in accessible places.

“By having gender neutral bathrooms and inclusive bathrooms on campus, [it] allows students to be their whole self,” Soto said.

Moving forward Regardless of the Supreme Court decision, Munger predicted that HB2 will not be a large issue moving forward.

“Given Trump’s election, HB2 will be largely forgotten,” Munger wrote. “It is a small issue, in terms of economics. And the legislature is not going to consider it.”

Trump’s victory also concerned Soto, who speculated about a possible federal version of HB2.

Aldrich noted that HB2 will fade, especially if it is ruled unconstitutional.

“Even if [HB2] survives, it has a finite, and I’m guessing, a fairly short lifetime,” Aldrich said. “In two years or four years, it will go either by the Supreme Court or election of a Democratic legislature.”
