Faculty endorses DKU undergrad program What’s up with IFC’s sexual assault task force?

Bre Bradham The Chronicle Students are one step closer to being able to earn an undergraduate liberal arts degree at Duke Kunshan University. At its November meeting, Academic Council—the University’s faculty governance body—voted to endorse the creation of an four-year undergraduate degree program at DKU by a 57-18 vote, following three years of intense debate. The next step in the approval process is for the resolution to be heard by the Board of Trustees. “I’m very excited about the vote,” said Provost Sally Kornbluth, one of key proponents of the proposal. “This is a wonderful thing for Duke to be doing, and we have had a great dialogue over a number of years.” During the meeting, some faculty members raised concerns about the impending retirement of President Richard Brodhead, the status of intellectual freedom in China and the University’s economic investment in the venture, but most expressed excitement about the opportunities available with the expansion of Duke’s involvement in China. The undergraduate degree would be added to the programs Duke already offers in Kunshan, which include master’s degrees in environmental policy, medical physics, global health and management studies. Brodhead opened the discussion of the resolution by acknowledging that it has inspired “diametrically opposed” viewpoints among the faculty, but that they have debated the benefits and risks of the

program with civility. He contrasted this with the “protracted election cycle” that preceded the national election earlier this month, and praised the process that has taken the proposal to where it is today. “We have prepared and prepared and prepared,” he said. “Committees spent all last year working their way through this. We are in a state of readiness we will never be at again to make this decision.” Brodhead also rebutted a query as to how inclined his successor would be to continue

the work, noting that presidential candidates have been briefed on their responsibility for the project. He jokingly added that none had dropped out yet because of it. The costs of the venture were one issue of key concern to the faculty. Brodhead explained that Duke’s contribution would be $5 million annually, and the Kunshan government would subsidize up to $45 million. See DKU on Page 5

Haven’t heard anything lately about the Interfraternity Council’s sexual assault task force? You’re not alone. Last summer, the IFC created a student-led task force in an effort to investigate the role of Greek life in sexual assault. The committee, which initially consisted of 12 IFC members, planned to examine the social culture at Duke during the 2015-16 academic year and make recommendations to prevent and address the issue of sexual assault. Almost a year and a half later, the task force has yet to release any findings to the public. Before now, the only comment from a member on the task force’s progress since its inception was in June, when senior Annie Adair said that the group met six or seven times last Fall and at least once in the Spring. She told The Chronicle then that the committee had also sent out a survey to See TASK FORCE on Page 5

DUSDAC addresses affordability, plans for food truck rodeo Karam Katariya The Chronicle Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee discussed student complaints and its plans for next semester at its meeting Thursday. Brian Taylor, Trinity ‘16 and DUSDAC chair, explained that DUSDAC wants to focus on increasing affordability for upperclassmen at on-campus locations in the future. “It’s really hard, however, to make sure that these vendors sell the same quantity of food for lower prices,” he said. “They’ll likely be giving out even smaller portions if there is a demand for cheaper prices.” For instance, West Union’s Il Forno is considering selling smaller portions of their pasta at lower prices. Taylor also discussed changes to the annual food truck rodeo, which coincides with the Old Duke concert and allows students to try out a variety of food trucks

that could potentially sell on campus. The rodeo is likely to cost $7,000 to $10,000, Taylor said. One prospective food truck for the event is Captain Poncho’s, a Mexican food truck. Another main focus were recent issues reported by students on the Fix My Campus Facebook page, such as TGI Friday’s Merchants-on-Points not delivering students’ orders. Students have complained that there is only one place to get water at Marketplace. Some first-years who eat at Marketplace on a daily basis would like more areas to get water, members noted. In addition, Fix My Campus had a recent post about a student finding a fly in his togo salad from Café Edens. DUSDAC also talked about upcoming projects, including a partnership with Mi Gente to increase the amount of Latin American food on campus.

Poet Laureate’s work focuses NYT reporter gives his take on cultural, social issues on Brazil’s troubled future Amanda Shorin

Julia Searby

The Chronicle Juan Felipe Herrera, the 21st United States Poet Laureate, spoke about why he values art and poetry at a reading event Thursday. Held in the Rubenstein Library, the event focused on multiculturalism in the modern age and also included question session with Herrera. Herrera read selections from several of his recent works, poems which he said provided a glimpse into his mixed heritage. During an introduction, Walter Mignolo, William H. Wannamaker professor of literature, explained that Herrera’s poems are linked to his ethnicity and nationality. “Every American culture has its own voices and thinkers,” Mignolo said. “Toni Morrison is Afro-American, Walt Whitman is European American, Maxine Hong Kingston is Asian American and Juan Felipe Herrera is Latino American.” Several of the poems Herrera read throughout the evening discussed multiculturalism in modern society, including “Senegal Taxi” and “187 Reasons Why Mexicanos Can’t Cross the Border.” Other readings took on related social issues, addressing global topics such as the consequences of war on refugees and recent accusations of police brutality. “We really are doing this to bring about more openness,” Herrera said. “It’s such a real issue.” Katherine Owensby, a first-year in the Power of Poetry FOCUS program, said that Herrera’s readings helped her better understand what she had learned in class. “It was a really interesting experience getting to take all the concepts and come and see this and realize how much of an impact the way he read it has,” Owensby said. “At least in the content, it’s so relevant right now. I think it’s all the more important that this is our Poet Laureate right now.” Herrera’s poems often switched between English and Spanish, which he said reflected his mixed heritage. Herrera explained that the inspiration for

some of his work came from his childhood experiences, growing up as the son of migrant farm workers in Northern California. He later attended the University of California at Los Angeles and went on to earn his master’s in creative writing at the University of Iowa. Expanding on his studies, Herrera served as the chair for the Chicano and Latin American studies department at California State University at Fresno and joined the creative writing department at the University of California at Riverside in 2005. In 2012, Herrera was appointed as the California Poet Laureate and was promoted to United States Poet Laureate in 2015. Now in his second term as United States Poet Laureate, Herrera has retired from his Riverside position and focuses more on outreach and raising awareness for the arts. Some of the poems Herrera read took on a lighter tone, such as “Jackrabbits, Green Onions & Witches Stew,” which he said helps his poetry appeal to a younger audience. Herrera explained that artistic subjects See POET on Page 5

Silva, the former Brazilian president and a founding member of the Workers’ Party, was indicted on charges of corruption and money laundering this September. “The Workers’ Party is going through this intense period of self-examination and a deeper exploration of its own future,” Romero said. The political polarization and unstable economy have created conditions in which someone like Brazilian congressman Jair Bolsonaro, a man with few credentials or knowledge in the works of democracy, could possibly win the 2018 Brazilian presidential elections, Romero said. After Trump’s victory last week, Bolsonaro tweeted, “Congratulations to the people of the United States electing @realDonaldTrump... Brazil will be on the same path in 2018.” Romero noted that Bolsonaro is supported by many members of the Workers’ Party, and that he has spoken out against LGBTQ+ rights and has similar social views as Trump. The popular sentiment of disenchantment with

While many people watched election night unfold and contemplated how Donald Trump’s victory would affect American politics, Simon Romero was thinking about a different country. Romero, the Brazilian Bureau Chief for The New York Times, is visiting campus this week and spoke Thursday about the current political turmoil in Brazil and how it could be affected by the U.S. presidential elections. Brazilians are shocked by Trump’s victory and what it means for their country’s foreign policy and economy, he noted. “Brazil is in a similar place politically as the United States is in,” Romero said. “There is a general disenchantment with the democratic process in Brazil that is growing more intense.” Brazilian social media shows that the people are just as politically divided as Americans are right now, Romero explained. Political polarization in Brazil is growing See BRAZIL on Page 5 more and more intense, heightened by the recent impeachment of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and the Thursday arrest of Sérgio Cabral, former governor of Rio de Janeiro, who was taken into custody as part of an embezzlement investigation. In addition to the political instability, Brazil is in the midst of its worst economic recession in decades, noted Patrick Duddy— director of the Duke Center for the Latin and Caribbean studies and former U.S. ambassador to Venezuela, who moderated the event. “The situation economically [in Brazil] is a tragic one,” Romero said. “You see almost a 10 percent decline in GDP over the last two years.” The faltering economy has generated resentment among the Brazilian people towards their government.

Study finds more birds are endangered than previously thought

Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons The study discovered that the purplish-mantled tanager bird should actually be listed as a vulnerable species.

Claire Xiao The Chronicle Hundreds of bird species today face a greater risk of extinction than is formally recognized, a new Duke study found. In a team led by Stuart Pimm, Doris Duke professor of conservation ecology in the Nicholas School of the Environment, researchers concluded that by failing to include new information and technologies, International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources’ Red List of Threatened Species underestimates the level of threats facing a number of bird species. “I think [IUCN] knows they have to use

different criteria,” Pimm said. “It will nudge them in the direction of modernizing their approach. Their approach is 25 years old. It was good 25 years ago, but we could do much better now. Science moves forward, science progresses.” The study examined bird species in six regions of the world. These regions, which are mostly tropical, have seen rapid habitat destruction in recent years. Binbin Li, a Ph.D. student in the Nicholas School and co-author of the study, said that about 200 out of the 600 or so bird species studied “are facing greater extinction risk and they should be reconsidered for their extinction threat levels.” After compiling maps from the IUCN

of birds’ geographical ranges—or the areas over which particular species are found— the scientists used remote sensing and geographic information systems to refine the range maps, Li explained. “We end up with a map that shows us the right elevation and the right habitat for that bird,” said Natalia Ocampo-Peñuela, first author of the study who received a Ph.D. in environmental sciences and policy from Duke this year. “Then, we calculate how much the area is to see if that species is doing okay [or if] it should be re-categorized into a higher threat category.” Doing so revealed the habitat range of the bird species, allowing the team to determine each species’ threat level of extinction. “[IUCN’s list] is good, systematic and transparent, but the problem is they haven’t used the currently available remote sensing data,” Li said. This causes the list to contain underrepresented risk, which means species are actually more threatened than they seem. “By protecting these birds, you’re protecting a lot of biodiversity that is within these ranges,” Ocampo-Peñuela said. Despite the findings, not everyone in the scientific community accepts the study’s method of evaluating whether species should be reclassified. One critic is Stuart Butchart, head of science of BirdLife International, an organization that tracks birds for the IUCN. He said the study did not correctly apply criteria or classify threat levels for the bird species. “The main criticism from IUCN is that we used the wrong threshold. [They said] we needed to use threshold of occupancy,” Ocampo-Peñuela said. “But this is wrong because we did not survey for these birds, and we did not produce maps of occupancy.”

The threshold of occupancy is a measure that determines exactly where a species is. However, Ocampo-Peñuela expressed the benefits of the team’s study. “I think because this study is of a global scale, and we did it on the six most endangered regions in the world, it will have an impact,” Ocampo-Peñuela said. Li added that she hopes IUCN will change its list because of scientific and public attention to this study, as well as IUCN’s failure to use new methods, such as geographic information system tools. “This is a study that is a constructive criticism to IUCN,” Ocampo-Peñuela said. “What we want to do is to provide tools that they can use.”

N.C. Republicans may propose court-packing bill Nathan Luzum The Chronicle Could the North Carolina General Assembly add more Republicans to the State Supreme Court? It’s a possibility, some experts say. Last Tuesday, registered Democrat Michael Morgan defeated incumbent Bob Edmunds for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court, giving the Democrats a 4-3 majority. But the Republicandominated North Carolina General Assembly may propose a bill creating two additional seats, according to a report by North Carolina Policy Watch. This would allow Republican Gov. Pat McCrory to

appoint two new justices and guarantee Republican control of the court, even if he loses the gubernatorial race. However, a spokesperson for Republican Tim Moore, speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, told The New Republic Wednesday that recent headlines about the possibility of new court appointments were based on “rumors.” Moore’s spokesperson “declined to confirm or deny the existence of the alleged plan.” Bob Phillips—executive director of Common Cause North Carolina, a nonprofit lobbying organization—noted that such a bill could undermine the recent elections. “It’s almost a statement that says

elections don’t really matter because the election last week did change the balance of our state supreme court, and this would flip it in another way back to the majority party,” he said. The law could also prolong debate about the court even after the election season ended, noted David Rohde, Ernestine Friedl professor of political science. “Such an act would certainly intensify the polarization and inter-party hostility in the state,” he wrote. Rohde added that the bill is “just speculation” as of now. Phillips noted that although the bill is only a rumor, he was still disturbed that certain members of the General Assembly had even discussed the move. “What I do think is interesting is neither the leadership nor the governor has come out and emphatically denied that this is something that they may do, so I think that’s pretty telling,” Phillips said. The offices of Republican leaders such as Gov. Pat McCrory, Tim Moore— speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives—and Phil Berger— president pro tempore of the North Carolina Senate—could not be reached for comment. Similar bills to expand state supreme courts have been introduced elsewhere. In May, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey appointed two extra justices to the Arizona Supreme Court, expanding its size from five to seven. The same month, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal supported a bill to increase the number of justices on the Georgia Supreme Court from seven to nine. Phillips noted that such bills undermine the public’s trust in government—a key area of concern during the 2016

Courtesy of Duke Photography David Rohde said that the potential bill could increase polarization between political parties in North Carolina.

presidential election campaigns. “It does reinforce a view with many people that everything’s rigged,” he said. In the coming months, the composition of the North Carolina Supreme Court could determine rulings on important cases, such as legislative district gerrymandering. “Gerrymandering is all about one thing—gaming the system to maintain power for the party in power,” Phillips said. “Packing the court, in this instance, could be very much the same thing.” McCrory may also seek to challenge the gubernatorial election results in court, Phillips noted. He currently narrowly trails Democrat Roy Cooper, although the results have not yet been finalized.

politics in Brazil is similar to what propelled Trump to the U.S. presidency and what drove the people of the United Kingdom to vote to leave the European Union. Romero added that since his first exposure to Brazil as a student in 1990, the country “is as divided as I have ever seen it.” The event was hosted by the Duke Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.

the IFC. During an interview with The Chronicle Thursday, IFC president Mitchell Grant, a senior, said that no report was ever supposed to be released. “I think our goal is to continue to ensure the safety of Duke students, people in general, and make them more aware of what’s going on,” Grant said. However, he noted that transparency is not a priority for the task force. “I think [the task force is] also something that people need to recognize as private,” he said. “It’s an internal thing for the Interfraternity Council. It’s not a university-wide something. It answers to the Interfraternity Council. It doesn’t answer to anyone else.” He explained that the group has implemented several new steps to ensure safety at social events, including making sure there are free water bottles and sober brothers at all fraternity parties. Grant added that they are also planning an event for sexual assault awareness month next April. The goal of the group is still to investigate sexual assault on campus, he noted, including “why people perceive that these events take place more at fraternity events.” The team is recruiting new members to the sexual assault prevention team, having initially consisted of only IFC members but at some point last year deciding to include women. Senior Jake Son, co-chair of the sexual assault task force, recently sent out an application to all members of the Duke Panhellenic Association. In the email sent to the Panhellenic Association, Son noted that the task force presented recommendations last year to the IFC President’s Council, an internal IFC group. He also wrote that the task force this year will consist of 15 members, including “women from PanHel, and all other individuals that are affected by IFC events.” “This year, we are looking to assess the impact of these recommendations, and to educate ourselves about recognizing and intervening in sexual assault,” Son wrote in the email. The application for IFC’s sexual assault prevention team consisted of only two questions that required responses no longer than 250 words—”Why do you want to be on this committee?” and “How would you approach a friend that has been behaving inappropriately (self-defined) around others?” David Pittman, interim director of fraternity and sorority life, could not be reached after multiple requests for comment via phone and email. Likhitha Butchireddygari contributed reporting.

POET from page 2 such as poetry and music can serve as an important form of expression and can also carry a message for today’s society. “Poem by poem, we can end the violence every day after every other day,” he read, reciting from his book “Notes on the Assemblage.” For Cecilia Barja, a political activist who attended the event, Herrera’s message avoided lingering on the political details and instead focused on the bigger picture. “I think he went beyond politics,” Barja said. “It’s not about what place you stand. I think it is just a human way of understanding what migration is about. It was a daily chapter in human life and their struggles.”

DKU from page 1 Thomas Robisheaux, professor of history and chairman of the Arts and Sciences Council when the proposal was first discussed there, talked about the DKU undergraduate degree in a historical context. He urged the Academic Council to vote for it as “stewards of a liberal arts tradition” with origins in 11th and 12th century Europe, but acknowledged that there would be setbacks. He warned his colleagues to expect conflict but to use this opportunity to “light a flame in China.” Alexander Rosenberg, R. Taylor Cole professor of philosophy, cited academic freedom issues as one of the motivating factors for why Duke should be involved in Kunshan. “Not only do we have an opportunity to establish an institution that expresses the values that we are committed to in a country that may, or may not, need the kind of exemplar that we could produce,” he said. “But for ourselves, and for the purpose of faculty governance at this university, to have an institution about which our faculty is concerned and committed will provide a test for faculty governance at Duke.” In contrast, Charles Becker, research professor of economics, said that he was voting for the proposal with reluctance, noting that the University had not considered the opportunity cost associated with establishing a campus in China when one could potentially be established elsewhere. Earl Dowell, the William Holland Hall professor of mechanical engineering, took issue with the proposal, saying that one of the defining features of Duke is the liberal arts education within a research institution. He noted that there is something special about this sort of contextualization of the undergraduate education, which would not necessarily be the case at the Kunshan campus. Brodhead responded to the criticism, encouraging the faculty to think big and to “make no little plans.” William Johnson, a professor of classical studies, taught at DKU for a semester in 2014. He warned his colleagues against viewing the venture as a paternalistic enterprise, but said that he learned a great deal from his time there. He emphasized the importance of the vote that the council was facing. “I think when a historian writes the history of Duke University, a hundred years or two hundred years from now, this vote could be the biggest part of the story of our University,” he said.

Following a previous discussion about having food trucks on East Campus, Taylor noted there has been difficulty in finding potential parking for the trucks. Duke Student Government is working with Parking and Transportation Services to secure a location on East, potentially behind Giles residence hall. DSG plans to advertise and promote the trucks if they sell food at the new location. The issue of first-years choosing to use their food points at a food truck rather than using a swipe at Marketplace, however, still remains a concern for DUSDAC members.

'WE'VE JUST GOT TO GET BETTER' Duke travels to Hall-of-Fame Tip-Off coming off close loss to No. 7 Kansas

Sid Bhaskara The Chronicle When the Blue Devils entered the season, there was some chatter of a potential undefeated year on the horizon. Without its top three freshmen, Duke was inconsistent in its first real test Tuesday, and now will look to bounce back with another contest against a ranked opponent approaching. The No. 1 Blue Devils started the season with two back-to-back wins in the friendly Penn confines of Cameron State vs. Indoor Stadium before dropping a 77-75 No. 1 nail-biter to seventhDuke ranked Kansas Tuesday SATURDAY, 12:30 p.m. at Madison Square Mohegan Sun Arena Garden. Now the Blue Devils must pivot to another set of back-toback games starting Saturday at the Hall-ofFame Tip-Off against Penn State at 12:30 p.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Depending on the outcome of that game, Duke will face either No. 21 Rhode Island or No. 24 Cincinnati Sunday. Duke will still probably be without Marques Bolden, Harry Giles and Jayson Tatum due to injury, meaning the team must continue to navigate its busy nonconference schedule without them for the time being. “I think we’re a good team. Otherwise, we would have been blown out of here tonight,” Blue Devil head coach Mike Krzyzewski said following Tuesday’s loss.

Jack White | The Chronicle The Blue Devils struggled to defend without fouling early in both halves during Tuesday's loss to No. 7 Kansas.

“But we’re a limited team right now. We’re not who we imagine ourselves to be, but that’s not an excuse, that’s just the way it is. We’ll see what will happen when we get guys back. I think these experiences are good.” Krzyzewski will once again likely be operating with a short six-man rotation anchored by the team's veterans until his top recruits return to the lineup. Sophomore Luke Kennard was masterful Tuesday against the Jayhawks, contributing a game-high 22 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including

a 2-of-4 performance from beyond the arc. Like almost every starter in the game, senior Matt Jones was in foul trouble, but still managed 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point range. However, the cornerstones for the Blue Devils (2-1) failed to make their mark consistently in the loss. Graduate student Amile Jefferson only had one point in the second half to go along with seven total turnovers before eventually fouling out of the game. Preseason AllAmerican Grayson Allen also struggled, suffering through an abysmal night as

he shot 4-of-15 from the floor and just 1-of-7 from deep. Jefferson’s foul trouble illustrated how thin the frontcourt is for Duke right now, as sophomore Chase Jeter was the only other big man to see significant minutes throughout the game. Despite improving from his first season in Durham, Jeter could not keep pace with Kansas' more physical forwards and could not protect the rim after a few early fouls. The Jayhawks crushed the Blue Devils in the paint and on the boards to the tune of 14 offensive boards that turned into 18 second-chance points. With Duke's starters in foul trouble, forward Javin DeLaurier could have given the team a boost up front, but the freshman saw only a single minute of action Tuesday night. But despite the thin lineup, Kansas only narrowly defeated the Blue Devils, giving Duke plenty of positives to carry forward. Even with only six men and two stars not playing like themselves, Duke nearly beat a championship contender in large part due to the late heroics of Kennard and freshman Frank Jackson. "You’ve just got to be smart. You’ve got to adjust,” Jefferson said of playing with foul trouble. “You’ve got to understand how they’re calling the game and be poised. For a while, we weren’t us, and that hurt us, but I thought we did a great job of fighting back. They’re a really good team, and See M. BASKETBALL on Page 16

Blue Devils eye consecutive wins for first time in 2016 Sam Turken The Chronicle

Juan Bermudez | The Chronicle Johnathan Lloyd and the Blue Devil receivers will look to attack a porous Pittsburgh defense that gives up more than 340 passing yards per game.

A year ago, the Blue Devils entered their November meeting with Pittsburgh coming off a crushing 35-point blowout loss to North Carolina. Duke was in a funk at the time and wound up falling to the Panthers 31-13 for its third straight loss. But this season, the storyline is the opposite. Following a 28-27 Duke win against the Tar vs. Heels last Thursday, the Blue Devils will Pitt try to notch their first winning streak of the SATURDAY, 3 p.m. season on the road Heinz Field against Pittsburgh Saturday at 3 p.m. at Heinz Field. After losing three straight games by an average of five points, Duke finally showed it could

win a close contest with the victory against its in-state rival. “We’ve been confident throughout the year,” redshirt sophomore wide receiver Johnathan Lloyd said. “We’ve been on the wrong end of games, but everything’s been very close…. Hopefully we use the Carolina game as the stepping stool to elevate, keep getting better and play to our potential.” Duke’s defense has been a primary reason why the Blue Devils (4-6, 1-5 in the ACC) have struggled in close games. In each of its last three losses, Duke has failed to generate stops late in the fourth quarter. Against Louisville, the Blue Devil defense surrendered a touchdown after a roughing the kicker penalty, denying the offense a chance to tie or take the lead on its last drive. After a 38-35 loss at Georgia Tech in which Duke could not protect a four-point, fourth-quarter lead, See FOOTBALL on Page 16

Lambert's career day sparks another Duke rout Andrew Donohue The Chronicle With Lexie Brown and Rebecca Greenwell leading the Blue Devils in scoring through three games, it has been easy to overlook Duke's third starting guard—sophomore Kyra Lambert. On Thursday, Lambert showed why that is a huge mistake. The Cibolo, Texas, native scored a careerhigh 17 points to lead the Blue Devils to a 90-47 win against 47 Grand GCU Canyon DUKE 90 Thursday evening at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke used a 23-7 second quarter to build a 48-24 halftime lead and coasted from there led by its defense—the Antelopes shot 28.1 percent from the field and were forced to rely mostly on jumpers on offense because of the Blue Devils' strength inside. Forward Oderah Chidom led Duke in scoring with 18 points, sparking the team's 40-10 edge in points in the paint. Greenwell added 15 points and 10 rebounds to continue her hot start to the year. “Kyra not only scored points and did some nice things statistically,” Blue Devil head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “But more importantly, she was very commanding on the floor as the point guard, getting people into the right spots and communicating.” Lambert kicked off her strong performance with back to back 3-pointers at

the seven-minute mark of the first quarter as Duke (4-0) traded baskets with Grand Canyon for much of the opening period. “They came out in what looked like a triangle-and-two defense," Lambert said. "I just tried to take the opportunities and hit a couple shots so they’d break out of it and kind of get off our shooters more.” Marina Laramie led the way for the Antelopes (1-1) with 22 points—including four 3-pointers—and 12 rebounds and did much of her damage early on to keep her team close. But McCallie’s team tightened up on defense in the second period to pull away. Lambert attacked the basket more to get several layups and all four of her free-throw attempts in the quarter as the Blue Devils went on a 32-9 run that started late in the first quarter. She finished the first half with 15 points. Duke's full-court press stifled Grand Canyon, which turned the ball over eight times in the second quarter alone and looked perplexed by the trapping defense, with traveling a persistent problem all game for the Antelopes. Grand Canyon finished the game with 22 turnovers. The Blue Devils have now allowed just 26 total points in four second quarters this season. “Our team is enjoying playing defense,” McCallie said. “We’re understanding how to play off each other, follow each other, move the ball. Defensively, we need to be able to force traps better and move our stealers into

the right position better so we can attack.” Although Brown went just 2-of-7 from the field, the Maryland transfer and Lambert led the defense and finished with two steals apiece. In the second half, with the game largely decided, Duke made feeding the ball into the post a priority. Chidom scored with ease inside against the smaller Grand Canyon frontcourt, finding soft spots in the Antelope zone defense for easy opportunities. Junior Erin Mathias and freshman Leaonna Odom

combined for 22 points and 14 rebounds to bolster the Blue Devils' effort up front. “It was fun to see Oderah play,” McCallie said. “She has a knack for scoring and getting around people. It’s great to say she can do that and she can do that against anybody.” Following four double-digit wins to begin the season, Duke will face a tougher test in its next game at Vanderbilt Sunday in Nashville, Tenn. The Commodores (2-1) have wins against Drexel and Kennesaw State but lost at Indiana by 33 points.

Payne, Blue Devil seniors look to keep dancing Riley Pfaff The Chronicle Knowing that this weekend could be the last time they play on their home field, the Blue Devil seniors will look to keep their careers alive Friday night in Durham. No. 3 seed Duke will play host to Illinois State Friday evening at 6 p.m. at Koskinen Illinois State Stadium in the vs. second round of the NCAA tournament. No. 3 Duke The winner of Friday’s contest will FRIDAY, 6 p.m. advance to take on Koskinen Stadium the winner of the tilt earlier in the day between Northwestern and SIUE, with a chance to move to the NCAA quarterfinals. For Duke, the NCAA tournament has taken on even more importance following the Blue Devils’ early exit in the ACC tournament at the hands of Florida State two weeks ago. “You’re in the NCAA tournament. You’re in a one-and-done situation. People can eliminate you. Your season can end—all the work you’ve done since August could come to an end,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “Now we know if we slip up, if we don’t score goals, if we lose anything, that we have four girls’ careers over with. And our season is over with too.” Although all the Blue Devils (13-4-3) are acutely aware of the possibility of an abrupt

end to their season, perhaps no group is more cognizant of that fact than the four seniors on the roster. Following tight losses to Clemson and Florida State at the end of the regular season and in the ACC tournament, respectively, the seniors know that the NCAA tournament represents a chance to make amends for the championship game loss a year ago. Forward Toni Payne has led her class lately, carrying Duke with her urgency and intensity. Payne notched a goal and two assists against Charlotte. In the opening-

round win, the Blue Devils turned up the pressure on offense, firing 15 shots on the 49ers and allowing just three on the other end of the field. Payne, who is tied for second on the team with six assists, has been a key cog in an offense that ranks third in the nation for its 2.7 assists per game. Sharing the ball and finding open looks has been critical for Duke all season, and it will be especially important against an Illinois State team that has only given up four goals in its last six games. “We do well when we get the first goal and

are really on top of the other team,” Payne said. “That’s going to be how we approach the next game. If we can come out really hard and really aggressive it should be a good game for us." On the other end of the field, the Blue Devils will have to contend with a top-25 Illinois State offense that averages nearly 2.2 goals per game. The Redbirds (14-5-3) are led by redshirt senior Lauren Koehl, who has 41 points this season compared to 24 by Duke leader freshman Ella Stevens. Koehl has already made her presence known in the postseason, notching one of her team’s two goals in an upset victory against Michigan. Although Duke won comfortably against Charlotte, there were periods where the 49ers were able to get more comfortable stringing passes together. The Blue Devils will look to keep up the pressure against the Redbirds and prevent any potentially lapses. “Our defending starts with our forwards. Everybody is a defender when we don’t have the ball,” Church said. “We had quick transitions to defending from our attack. We really wanted to lock them in on their side of the field and keep them locked in.” Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s upset against second-seeded Notre Dame gave Duke the chance to host the second-round game as well as the potential third-round game pending a win Friday. But the Blue Devils understand that home-field advantage will not be enough See W. SOCCER on Page 16

Tucker, Karelov have Duke in contention in the ACC Ben Leonard The Chronicle In recent years, the Blue Devils' senior day has been a bittersweet celebration, with friends and family on hand to celebrate the culmination of years of hard work from the seniors yet knowing that their time in Durham is coming to a close. But with Duke starting to gain votes in national polls and making a strong push for an NCAA tournament bid, the surging Blue No. 17 Devils are playing for a FSU lot more than just their vs. seniors this year. Duke Duke will play host to No. 17 Florida State FRIDAY, 6:30 p.m. Friday at 6:30 p.m. Cameron Indoor Stadium and Miami Sunday at 1 p.m. for Senior Day. The Blue Devils are riding a six-game win streak and enter Friday with a tournament bid and an outside shot at the regular season ACC championship on the line.

Duke sits just one game behind No. 6 North Carolina in the conference standings with Blue Devil senior middle blockers Alyse Whitaker and Jordan Tucker, defensive specialist Chloe DiPasquale, and defensive specialist Sasha Karelov set to play their final games at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “This particular senior class has been a hard-working, fun-loving group that I really think we’re going to miss," Duke head coach Jolene Nagel said. They’ve done a tremendous job, they’ve been great leaders this year and they have worked really hard and have been a Miami joy to coach.” vs. Two of those senior leaders, Tucker and Duke Karelov, have surged at the right time for SUNDAY, 1 p.m. Duke. As the team Cameron Indoor Stadium leader in kills, Tucker has headed the charge on the offensive end for the Blue Devils (20-6, 14-2 in the ACC), notching a combined 40 kills in Duke's last three victories. Heading into her final two home games ranked sixth in Duke history in

hitting percentage, Tucker has been a model of consistency for the Blue Devils, reaching double-digit kills 20 times this season. “Jordan is a very smart player,” Nagel said. “She takes a lot of responsibility [as a leader]. The other incredible thing she’s done is she’s continued to play her very best night in and night out. She’s been a real rock for us in terms of her performance.” Karelov has held it together on the defensive end for the Blue Devils, picking up double-digit digs in her last four games. The Raleigh native has also rewritten record books during her time in Durham, totaling the third-most total digs in program history and the 10th-most among all active players in the nation. The Blue Devils will need to lean on Karelov and their conference-best digs-per-set average to knock off the Seminoles (20-5, 13-3) and their potent offense, which ranks second in the ACC in hitting percentage. Florida State boasts outside hitter Milica Kubura and middle blocker Mara Green—two of the ACC's top four players in hitting percentage. Armed with the ACC’s leader in blocks in Melanie Keil, the Seminoles are also a force to be reckoned with on defense. “It’s going to be a big challenge,” Nagel said. “They have nice size, they’re a very strong team, they have played very good competition…. They’re a really good blocking team too. We’re going to have to be really disciplined in our block and our defense to really control all the hitters they have coming at us. Hopefully, with controlling our first touch, we can get our offense going.” It took a while for the Blue Devils’ offense to get going last year at home against the Seminoles, dropping the first two sets, before rallying and ultimately falling just three points short in the fifth set. Duke will also be taking on Miami (13-15, 7-9 ACC) for the first time this season, making it a little more difficult to prepare for both sides. “We haven’t seen them yet this year, so

we’re not as familiar with them as if we were playing them for the second time,” Nagel said. Miami has struggled on defense, ranking 13th in the conference in opponents’ hitting percentage but boasts the ACC’s leader in aces and kills per set in Olga Strantzali. “Miami is a much better team than their record indicates,” Nagel said. “They’ve had some injuries this year, so it’s been unfortunate, but they’ve really been able to put together some quality play in the season. We’re going to have our work cut out for us. Plus, with the fact that it’s Senior Day, we’re going to have to play with that emotion as well.” Playing with emotion should not be a tall order for a Blue Devil team that has a lot on the line in its final home matches of the season. With a tilt against North Carolina in Chapel Hill Wednesday and the regular-season finale the following Saturday at N.C. State, Duke needs wins in its final four games to capture its first ACC championship since 2013. But the Blue Devils will approach the weekend one game at a time, knowing that a loss could halt Duke's tournament hopes.

few weeks ago, a small art installation made of tampons and menstrual pads suspended from strings stood beside the bus stop on Abele Quad. An initiative by The Feminist Make Space, the sculpture encouraged students to pause, reflect and ask questions to combat the stigma surrounding menstrual health. In light of Presidentelect Donald J. Trump’s comments on breastfeeding and allusions to a reporter’s period affecting her job performance, candid conversations about women and women’s health seem particularly necessary. While cisgender women are not the only people who menstruate (some transgender men and nonbinary individuals do as well), the gendered history associated with how we address menstrual health as a society foregrounds a necessity to open dialogue on campus about this topic. Projects like the art installation by The Feminist Make Space can be shocking to students since our society often demands we address menstrual health in a euphemistic manner. Phrases like “time of the month” and “time in the red tent” have ostensibly replaced any straightforward declarations of the monthly shedding of uterine lining. Because many cultures across the globe validate some sort of taboo surrounding periods, most Duke students

have been exposed to a stigmatized discussion of women’s health. This reluctance to talk openly about menstrual health extends to the way feminine hygiene products like tampons and pads are packaged, sold and bought in our society. The inappropriate handling of women’s health does not end with unnecessarily discreet conversations about the monthly period, however. A lack of education about menstrual health can lead some to believe that the emotional side

Editorial

effects of a period are particularly damaging to women. This perpetuates the myth that the period inhibits a woman’s inability to think or act rationally, leading many to conflate a period with emotional instability. The ramifications of an overwhelmingly skewed narrative of disgust surrounding menstruation relegates women to a category of the “other.” It normalizes men’s bodily functions and presents women’s bodily functions as unusual. For many women, these sentiments can be internalized at a young age, contributing to a lifetime of negativity

surrounding completely natural processes. Many women have their cycles presented as demeaning punchlines and their emotional changes weaponized against them. We hold a double standard and often sexualize females but do not truly discuss them. As a result, in many ways, uteruses and periods are mystified. Educating ourselves about our own bodies and the health and bodies of others is an essential step toward demystifying reproductive health. Those who do not menstruate should push toward a greater understanding about female bodily functions and definitely should not be repulsed during anyone else’s discussions about the subject. Organizations like the Feminist Make Space, the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity and the Women’s Center provide established spaces for students to engage with women’s health with experts and other students in a constructive manner. These organizations work hard to dispel myths about menstrual health and other bodily functions. However, they cannot counter the toxic narratives and hypersensitivity we have been exposed to our entire lives by themselves. We must all take ownership to discard the euphemisms we utilize, confront our own misconceptions and prevent the mystification of women’s bodies.

here’s always a split second before the water hits my skin where I wince and the thought flashes across my mind, “Why the f*** am I doing this?” Then, the freezing water washes over me and, with a shiver, I begin the post-workout, cold-shower ritual. Shampoo. Rinse. Soap. Escape. Drying off and glancing at my phone I see that it’s only 7:30 a.m. Not bad. Self-made millionaires, entrepreneurs and goaloriented individuals the world over all know the power of controlling their daily rituals. One CNBC piece examining nine millionaire businesspeople found that all woke up before 6 a.m. and each had cultivated powerful habits for making each day begin with the right tone. Meditation, exercise and goal-focus were common themes. Still, I know that when I look at the kinds of things these people are doing, I find my internal monologue running something like this: “Yeah, that might work for them, but I have x, y and z reason for not being in the position to do that. I had a column to write and

and reason it down into submission. There are measurable benefits to the rituals that the people at the top have chosen, otherwise they wouldn’t all be saying the same thing. For example, taking cold showers is a habit that is shared not only by professional athletes like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant but also by modern entrepreneurs such as Tai Lopez and ancient philosophers like Seneca. There are measurable positive effects of this habit: cold showers are known to boost mood and focus as well as stimulating weight loss, refreshing your skin and hair, and improving circulation and immune system responses. Even more, though, there are non-measurable profits. Tai Lopez has described the improvements in courage and willpower that are associated with forcing yourself to shock your body with the cold water and the Stoic Seneca attributed much of his mental fortitude to his daily plunge into the cold river. Waking up earlier and devoting time to exercise (two of the more common habits among well-known success stories) don’t just give you more time or a better body, but develop

a midterm still to study for. That’s not even including any time spent socializing—cause I’ve got to have some social life.” I know I can’t be the only person thinking this, because otherwise everyone who heard these strategies for success would be waking up earlier and the gym would be a lot more crowded at 6:15 a.m. (when I usually arrive). I think that one of the biggest reasons we fail at our goals is because we compare ourselves to the average instead of to the gold standard. The very institution of university encourages this by oftentimes grading on a curve (not to complain, I’ve had many a grade saved by the practice), a system whereby surpassing the average is rewarded. While striving to achieve better results than the mean is by no means a negative paradigm, when designing our lifestyles to optimize success and accomplishment the people we should be looking at are those who perform way beyond average. We need to dissect what they do different from the rest of the population in order to replicate their results. Top performers are where they are because they don’t do the same thing as everyone else, they do something (or a lot of things) differently. The negative and self-defeating monologue I often hear in my mind when I consider the rituals of greatness (common refrains being: “You have special circumstances,” “But it’s just too hard,” and “Okay, I’ll start…but on Monday”) doesn’t just play for me. I know that others hear it as well. And this is my opportunity to stand up to that pessimistic voice

discipline and mental toughness. Let’s not forget, there is another benefit of doing things that you never would’ve imagined you could. (And I’m sure that there are many people who never thought they’d be capable of waking up earlier, taking cold showers or developing a habit of daily meditation.) It makes you feel like a badass. Coming out from under the freezing water, I imagine that I’m some sort of Viking or Spartan warrior washing off the sweat and grime of a victorious battle. Rolling out of bed at 5 a.m., I feel like I own the world while everyone else is still in hibernation. Feeling awesome and confident in this way is important, more important than many of us realize. It boosts happiness, powers motivation and gives you something to get out of bed to in the morning. Instead of looking forward to (or dreading) your first class, you get to anticipate the post-ritual feeling of badassery. And this self-esteem boost isn’t driven by outside sources (unlike things like grades, compliments or other external factors) but rather by the internal satisfaction of doing something you think is awesome. You don’t have to reverse-engineer the rituals of the world’s millionaires to find daily habits that make you feel like a superhero, but if you compare yourself to average and keep doing what average people do, you’re never going to achieve the full, untapped potential inside of you.

The exchanges are one of the most visible elements of the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare), a sprawling law that ultimately reached 2,700 pages of print before its passage. Just seven days later, Donald Trump was elected president, with a promise to “completely repeal Obamacare.” Since the election, I’ve been trying to make sense of what will happen next.

In September, 2015, during an interview with “60 Minutes,” the Presidentelect stated that he was “going to take care of everybody.” As for the uninsured, Trump stated “I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people… the government’s going to pay for it.” In an MSNBC town hall this February, Trump stated, “we can’t let people die in the streets… We’re going to take care of them. We’re going to take care of them. We have to take care of them.” Over the years, the President-elect has stated his

THE PICTURE OF HEALTH

FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP

It’s been harder than I expected—mixed messages and a lack of information from the Trump transition team result in uncertainty about what the future will bring. The Trump campaign website has a sparse 1,090 word statement detailing their position on health care policy. It contains mostly standard conservative boilerplate of health savings accounts, increased cost transparency, and loosening of insurance regulations. It states that the ACA will be completely repealed, but does not detail what it will be replaced with. The Rand Corporation conducted an analysis of the policies explicitly outlined in Trump’s platform. It was estimated that Trump’s proposal would decrease the number of insured by 20.3 million and increased the federal deficit by $5.8 billion, by eliminating ACA provisions that reduce spending (such as changes to Medicare payments) and generate revenue (such as taxes on devices). The Trump transition website devotes just 309 words to healthcare, with the language no more illuminating or instructive than the campaign website. When considering Obamacare repeal, it’s important to remember that the ACA deals with much more than just insurance. The law provides subsidies for the purchase of individual insurance, prevents insurers from denying coverage due to a preexisting condition, allows children to remain on their parents insurance until age 26 and mandates that all citizens have health insurance coverage or pay a fine. However, other provisions move Medicare away from a fee-for-service payments, affect the way hospitals receive funding for indigent care and even created a nonprofit institute to conduct research on the clinical effectiveness of medical treatments. The law contains many provisions that were path of the discussion on the campaign trail. However if the ACA is repealed, all provisions, not just the ones that make good talking points, would go with it. Yet in the days since the election, there are significant reasons to question whether Trump actually intends to carry out the policies he explicitly stated in his platform. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump backed off his strict repeal rhetoric stating “either Obamacare will be amended, or repealed and replaced.” In an post-election interview with “60 Minutes,” Trump stated that replacement and repeal of the ACA would be “simultaneous.” This is concerning since his platform states that “we will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of Obamacare,” but 62 days out from inauguration, no comprehensive

personal support of universal healthcare on several occasions. However, a cadre of deeply conservative advisors, staff and colleagues now surrounds Trump. This June, after years of symbolically voting for the repeal of Obamacare, House Speaker Paul Ryan proposed an outline of a healthcare plan that could replace it. Like Trump’s platform, Ryan’s plan is light on details but primarily involves replacing the ACA with tax credits, rolling back federal funding on Medicaid for poor patients, changing Medicare to a fixed subsidy for private insurance and removing protections for those with pre-existing medical conditions. Many speculate that a Trump replacement could mirror this legislation. The ACA is not without its flaws, nor is Trump’s platform without its merits. As reform legislation, the ACA primarily focused on expanding access through subsidization. Provisions addressing cost of care and quality of care were present, but not central. Trump’s platform proposes improved cost transparency for medical services and importing low cost medications, both provisions that could increase competition in the health sector. Nevertheless, the irrefutable fact is that 20 million people have health insurance coverage because of the ACA. As for open enrollment, despite increases in the cost of premiums and the looming political uncertainty, over 1 million Americans have selected plans on the exchange since November, with nearly 250,000 new consumers entering the exchange this year. When it comes to health policy, I undoubtedly disagree with Presidentelect Trump on many substantive issues. However, I also find a stylistic concern - a lack of clarity and depth - troubling at this juncture. Repealing the 2,700 page ACA would result in massive changes to the health care system, changes that deserve more than 1,090 words of consideration. While often opaque and technical, health policy is deathly serious. Choices about how to allocate resources and deliver care impact the health and survival of millions. An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine studied the mortality impact of Medicaid expansion. States that expanded Medicaid experienced a 6.1 percent reduction in deaths from all causes. Trump’s decisions regarding healthcare will be a matter of life and death for many in the country; that alone is certain. Lauren Groskaufmanis is a graduate student in the school of medicine.

themselves. For many families, keeping the peace with all their relations is difficult even in an ordinary year, but this Thanksgiving will be especially tense. It comes just two weeks after a bitter and divisive presidential election, which fielded the two most unpopular candidates in history and divided the country by race, gender, and education. In a stunning upset, Donald Trump won the presidency, and Thanksgiving tables across the country will be split between excitement and frustration over that reality. To survive the Thanksgiving politics and preserve your relationship with the people co-signing your student loans, I propose four simple rules. Rule Number 1: Don’t Start the Fight. The simplest strategy to keep the peace is to avoid politics altogether. Therefore, try not to provoke a debate. Don’t wear your I’m With Her t-shirt to the dinner table. Avoid red or blue tablecloths. Find a better icebreaker than, “So, who’d yah vote for?” and don’t panic if your uncle shows up wearing his Make America Great Again hat. Politely ask him to hang it on the coat rack, and then hide it from the other guests. Additionally, be mindful of your words. As best you can, try to keep everyone distracted with subjects that are as far from politics as possible. Eschew topics that have been politicized by the election and remember the acronym “TURKEE”: Tax Returns, Undocumented Immigrants, Russia, the KKK, E-mails and the Environment—to remind yourself of topics to avoid. Finally, it’s best if you keep your political jokes to yourself at the table. Don’t ask your grandmother if her secret recipe is in one of Hillary Clinton’s emails. She won’t find it funny. Rule Number 2: Put Yourself in Their Shoes. Despite your best efforts, the presidential election will be the elephant in the room. Some discussion of politics is probably unavoidable. However, if you take appropriate action you can keep the conversation civil and prevent your Thanksgiving dinner from looking like The Last Supper. This election season was marked by record levels of distrust between the major parties. Polls show 50 percent of consistently liberal Democrats and 66 percent of consistently conservative Republicans feel that the other party’s policies threaten the nation. If you must discuss politics, do so with the presumption of good will towards your friends and family. Fear and suspicion have proliferated in our public discourse, but you can keep them away from your dinner table. Empathize with the other side’s perspective and recognize that they feel just as passionately as you do. Why might certain members of your family disagree with you? What are their life

experiences, past and present, and how might those experiences have shaped their views? You have every right to disagree with them, but pay attention to how you do it. Remain calm. Control your tone and gestures and speak without condescension or grandstanding, insulting anyone’s intelligence or placing labels on them. Remember, you may think you’re the most enlightened person in the room, but chances are, so do they. Maintaining this civility can be difficult when family members make comments that are callous, ignorant or even prejudiced. Sometimes, you may not be in a position to challenge them, but to the extent that the conversation is beneficial, continue to engage with them. Try to

focus on what they want to express rather than the way they express it and, once again, maintain the presumption of good will. Let your friends and family express themselves freely and without judgment. Then, acknowledge why they feel the way they do, and respectfully explain your difference of opinion. Rule Number 3: Find Common Ground. Every American wants security, prosperity and liberty. Our political disagreements stem from different opinions of how to achieve these ends. At the dinner table, it’s necessary to acknowledge these common aspirations and continually emphasize them. As much as possible, remind your family of how you are similar before explaining the finer points of how you differ. For example, we all want secure borders. We all want to stop terrorism. We all want to preserve the environment for future generations. Establish these points of agreement at the outset, and you just might discover that those “unreasonable” family members aren’t so unreasonable after all. With this foundation, the same passion that might have become insults and personal attacks will be channeled into meaningful discussion. It is always easier to have a conversation with people you believe share your values than with people you think are fundamentally different. You can get to the root of your disagreements and maybe— just maybe— you’ll persuade someone to agree with you. Rule Number 4: End on a Positive Note. You can’t choose your family, like you can’t choose your countrymen, but in each case we all must learn to listen to and respect one another, and ultimately to put politics aside when the time comes. The most important part of any political conversation is how it ends. If you sense that the dialogue is becoming too emotional or too bitter, then take action and end it before any lasting damage is done. It is Thanksgiving, after all, so remind your family to be thankful for their health. Remind them that they live in a nation whose government heeds their voice and treats them fairly under the law. Remind them to be thankful that in this country they are guaranteed the right to love, worship, and speak freely. Yet, at the same time remind them that there are many people, perhaps even some of their neighbors, who lack these blessings. Finally, remind them that no matter how many political grievances they have, there is always someone whose plight is worse than their own. Then, for goodness sake, change the subject.

W. SOCCER from page 12 to keep their season going, especially after seeing the Wolverines and Fighting Irish upset at home last week by the same two teams traveling to Durham. “We don’t win just because we’re at home. You win because you put the hard work into it,” Church said. “Home field doesn’t score you any goals. It doesn’t keep any goals out of the back of the net.” On Friday, Duke has an opportunity to continue its journey toward a second-straight berth in the NCAA championship game and get back on track after an inconsistent stretch in recent weeks. “Our team really, really likes each other and really enjoy being together. So the great thing about winning in the NCAA tournament is you’re together another week,” Church said. “So now we’re looking to be together for another week after this weekend.”

FOOTBALL from page 11 the defense allowed Virginia Tech to run out the last four minutes of clock with a 10play, 53-yard drive in a 24-21 defeat. Once again, the Blue Devil offense did not have an opportunity to close out a game. But against the Tar Heels, the defense secured the win with strong play down the stretch. After surrendering 21 points in the first half, Duke held North Carolina’s highpowered attack scoreless on its final seven possessions. The Blue Devils’ pressure up front and tight pass coverage limited the Tar Heels to just 87 passing yards in the second half. Duke especially benefited from freshman cornerback Mark Gilbert’s

standout performance. After struggling early on, the Fayetteville, N.C., native— who started after senior Breon Borders injured his hip—helped bottle up North Carolina’s receivers. With Borders ruled out Saturday, Gilbert is expected to start again facing a Pittsburgh offense that relies on misdirection and smash-mouth running game to create explosive plays. The Panthers—who average 37.2 points per game and scored 43 in an upset against then-No. 2 Clemson last week—try to confuse opposing defenders and beat defenses on the edges by motioning receivers. The Blue Devils will have to hold their gaps and cannot become distracted by Pittsburgh’s various pre-snap shifts. “They steal your eyes with a lot of things,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “You’ve got to align well…. You can’t do more than your part. Sometimes that’s difficult for players. You have to play your position.” Regardless of whether the defense slows down the Panthers (6-4, 3-3), Duke’s offense wants to run the ball effectively and attack Pittsburgh downfield. Despite losing running back Jela Duncan to a season-ending Achilles injury, the Blue Devil rushing attack has recently flourished. Duke has run for more than 200 yards in each of its last three contests, which has opened up the passing game for redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Jones. After mostly throwing short passes in the first half of the season, Jones has been more aggressive lately. In two of Duke’s last three games, the Charlotte native has thrown for at least 240 yards and averaged more than seven yards per attempt. The
