Duke unveils plans for new dorms on campus Student activities fee spending no longer public Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle You know the “Student Activities Fee” you pay each semester? We don’t know where that money goes anymore. Every semester, students pay a $129.50 under the “Student Activities Fee.” A portion of this fee goes to Duke University Union, and the rest of it to Duke Student Government. Part of DSG’s money from the fees goes to an annual budget that allocates money to all chartered student organizations. Last year, the annual budget was a little more than $400,000. The rest of DSG’s portion of the student activities’ fee goes to the SOFC programming fund— which was $180,000 for each semester this year—that provides money for events that See FEES on Page 5

Joyce Er The Chronicle New residential plans released at Wednesday’s New Dorms Forum promise significant change on both East and West Campus. Housing, Dining and Residence Life partnered with Duke Student Government to sponsor the forum, which brought together the architects in charge of several new projects, including the renovation of Craven and Crowell residence halls. The meeting also discussed a new East Campus residence hall—which will replace Jarvis, Epworth and East House—as well as The Hollows, a new three-building residential complex set to be built near Edens quadrangle on West Campus. In Crowell and Craven, students can look forward to air-conditioning in all rooms, upgraded bathrooms and a better aesthetic. Senior Basil Seif, vice president for residential life at DSG, added that he was particularly looking

forward to the Craven and Crowell renovations. “I’m particularly really excited about the Craven and Crowell renovations, given that I’ve lived in Craven for two years,” Seif said. “It’s a great location, great part of campus to be in, but I think it’s pretty obvious that it’s been lacking in a lot of the amenities, so it’s really a cool opportunity to get to see what’s going to be done in the next couple of years, and to be able to shape the administrators’ opinions and the architects’ thoughts on this from a student’s perspective.” Architects from engineering firm Clark Nexsen, which is working on the Craven and Crowell renovations, emphasized creating a unique color scheme to reflect dorm identity. Three buildings comprising The Hollows will house 500 to 550 students. Rooms in The Hollows will be approximately the same size as those in Keohane 4, with living rooms and hallways that feature glass walls to introduce more natural light into the building. William Rawn Associates will be in charge

of the project, which is expected to begin construction in July 2017 and be completed by July 2019. The firm is also considering the installation of photovoltaic cells on the rooftops, and is working to preserve the creek running from the Duke Gardens down to The Hollows. The new residence hall on East Campus will replace Jarvis, Epworth and East House. Modeled after Bell Tower, the new dorm is supposed to add 250 beds to East Campus. Each room will be the same size as one in Bell Tower—with closets twice as big. Other amenities include a theater space and game room, said architects from O’Brien Atkins, the firm running the project. The dorm is expected to be completed by January 2018. Disability access differs slightly among the new dorms. The residence hall on East Campus will have elevators in the common rooms and near the building’s entrances, but elevators in The Hollows will be a short See NEW DORMS on Page 5

DUSDAC works to increase Fight against the Dakota Access diversity of campus dining Pipeline comes to campus Karam Katariya The Chronicle Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee considered ways to bring diversity to campus dining and changes to current oncampus vendors at its meeting Wednesday. Members continued the ongoing discussion of adding Guasaca Arepa and Salsa Grill, a popular South American restaurant on Erwin Road, to the Merchantson-Points program. Guasaca does not yet have a delivery service set up, so the process of incorporating it into the line-up is taking longer than anticipated. “It’s going to take a lot more time and effort than we expected,” Brian Taylor, Trinity ‘16 and DUSDAC chair, said. He noted that the “big hole” that existed because of the lack of Mexican and Latin American food is being remedied. The idea of adding vendors that serve Mediterranean or African food was also brought up. In addition, members discussed the state of current dining options on campus. Some food trucks are reportedly not

showing up at for their usual hours. Most times, they inform someone at Duke Dining, but often they do not. Students have also complained that Trinity Cafe on East Campus is closing earlier than it is supposed to and that menu changes at Cafe Edens have resulted in limited options for breakfast. However, DUSDAC members said that students have been happy with newly added gluten-free foods at West Union’s Il Forno. In response to requests for more gluten-free pastries on campus, JB’s Roasts and Chops has recently begun selling flourless cookies. Dame’s Express on Central Campus is also offering new wings, which have received positive feedback, but some have complained about slow service. In other business: Members discussed Thursday’s event in the Chef’s Kitchen. Mario Batali, the famous chef and restaurant owner, will be hosting a demonstration session for students and faculty, who can get tickets through a raffle. Devil’s Advocate, a guide to healthy dining on campus, is now available online.

Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle Native American tribal council members from North Dakota showed students and community members the devastation that the Dakota Access Pipeline will have on natural resources and the indigenous people living in the area Thursday evening. The Environmental Alliance and the Native American Student Alliance hosted an event that featured Chad Harrison, Sioux Tribe councilman-at-large, Cody Two Bears, Sioux Tribe district representative and Christine Folch, assistant professor of cultural anthropology. The Dakota Access Pipeline is a project that will transport oil more than 1,000 miles from northwest North Dakota to central Illinois but could negatively impact the environment and the economy of the Sioux Tribe. More than 100 people listened to the Harrison and Two Bears describe the protests against the pipeline in Standing Rock Indian Reservation. “My ancestors come from the east side of the Missouri River and lived there for 125 years before 1862, when the Minnesota Uprising and the White Storm Hill Massacre moved us to the west side of the Missouri River,” Two Bears said. “The government once again is threatening our way of life. First, it was with our land in the 1800s, then it was our buffalo. Now, it’s our water.” Two Bears described a history of the United States government taking advantage of Native American land and people. Specifically, he explained how the government took the Black Hills in South Dakota from indigenous people because of gold there. He noted that the government paid for the Black Hills land, but the Native American people have left the money in a bank collecting interest, and it is now worth $1 billion, none of which they have spent. He noted that it was not about the money for them, but their right to their land and natural resources. “We are tired of being acceptable collateral damage,” Harrison said. The Dakota Access Pipeline would

cut across the Missouri River and various waterways, so a leak would pollute everything downstream, Harrison argued. It is proposed to be 30 inches in diameter and could transport 470,000 barrels of oil a day. “85 percent of our bodies as human beings is water,” Two Bears said. “Why water is so important is because everything, water can nourish, not just us, but this planet, the animals. That’s our way of life. All of it. That’s why I feel so passionate about what’s going on today. We also have to remember the four-legged and the winged ones. Who’s going to speak for them? We’ve got to speak for them.” Sophomore Shandiin Herrera, treasurer for NASA, said that the event was a perfect way to highlight Native American Awareness Month and the protests at Standing Rock. She explained that it had personal significance to her as a Native American student. “For me, as a Native American and from a reservation, I feel like my transition to Duke has been very different,” Herrera said. “It’s been difficult, but now, as I see all the recognition and support that Standing Rock is getting, I am finding out more that people at See PIPELINE on Page 5

Think shotgun marriages are dead? New study suggests not Jackie Dillon The Chronicle Although the notion of a shotgunwielding father forcing his pregnant daughter to marry her boyfriend is outdated, new research suggests that “shotgun marriages” are still reality. A study led by Christina Gibson-Davis, an associate professor in the Sanford School of Public Policy, investigated trends in “shotgun marriages” by looking at mid-pregnancy marriage rates in North Carolina. As it turns out, the overall rate of shotgun marriages is declining—but it has increased among certain demographics. And for some, shotgun marriages do not lead to a higher risk of divorce. “Marriage and fertility seem to have become disconnected,” Gibson-Davis said, referring to the overall trend of declining shotgun marriages. “[We] wanted to know what this disconnect looked like.” By collecting administrative data on North Carolina births, marriages and divorce rates from 1992 to 2012, the team examined the prevalence of midpregnancy marriages and divorces to create a contemporary image of family formation. North Carolina has high-quality administrative data across various sectors, said Kenneth Dodge, William McDougall professor of public policy studies. This made the study significantly easier for the researchers. “The willingness of state officials to make this data is unique, splendid and wonderful,” he said. “It makes North

Carolina a leading laboratory for the nation.” As a share of all births in North Carolina, mid-pregnancy marriagerelated births declined from 8.8 percent to 6.3 percent for whites. For African Americans, the rate fell from 2.7 percent to 2.6 percent. Thus, the overall rate of shotgun marriages in North Carolina as a whole is on the decline. In certain groups, however, the proportion of mid-pregnancy marriages actually rose as a fraction of all married couples giving birth in North Carolina. This rate increased by 17 percent for

white mothers less than 25 years old and by 61 percent for black women whose highest level of eduction is a high school diploma or less. “Among married parents, a surprisingly high fraction of those marriages will have occurred between the conception and the birth,” GIbsonDavis said. The probability of divorce is also not as straightforward as many think. Among white families, shotgun marriages yielded higher divorce rates, but there was no such increase for African American families. Gibson-Davis noted that shotgun

marriages may be occurring for different reasons than in the past, as she said there is less “social pressure to marry” after pregnancy. It is socially acceptable for a woman to raise children without a man being present, she noted. “It could be that the people who are getting married between the conception and the birth wanted to get married anyway and just happened to get married after the conception,” she said. “These might be marriages that are based on the quality of the relationship.” There is research showing that children are more successful when they come from two-parent households, Gibson-Davis noted. She hopes to continue her study by observing the outcomes of children born to parents who married mid-pregnancy. “We know that being born out of wedlock, in an unmarried parent family, is associated with harmful outcomes for children,” she said. “The question is, would the timing [of marriage] matter?” Dodge agreed that tracking childhood success could be an important next step and noted that the data is available in state records to conduct such a study. Researchers may be able to match birth circumstances with educational performance to determine how the time of their parents’ marriage affected the child, he explained. Gibson-Davis noted that findings from the study have major implications for formulating family policy strategies. “There has been a push to encourage parents, particularly low-income parents to marry,” she said. “If [policymakers] want to intervene, the question is, when should you be doing that?”

Faculty describe Terry Sanford’s legacy in light of governor’s race Claire Xiao The Chronicle As the North Carolina gubernatorial race nears its end, faculty reflected on former governor Terry Sanford’s ongoing legacy in both the state and at Duke. Sanford was president of the University for 16 years—one the longest tenures any Duke president has had—after he served as governor and Democratic U.S. Sen. for his home state of North Carolina. During his political career, Sanford pushed forward initiatives and policies that transformed the state. “I think most historians would consider him one of the best governors in North Carolina’s history,” said Robert Korstad, professor of public policy and history. William Chafe, Alice Mary Baldwin professor emeritus of history, expressed a similar sentiment, noting that Sanford was “probably the most important governor of the 20th century.” Sanford’s rise in politics began with his military service during World War II, which earned him the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. When the war ended, he received his law degree from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and then decided to form a private law practice. After several years at his law practice, Sanford served as a North Carolina state senator from 1953 to 1955. In 1955, Sanford chose not to run for second term, instead looking to the 1960 N.C. governor election—which he won despite his underdog status. As governor from 1961 to 1965, Sanford attempted to improve public education and established the North Carolina Good

Neighbor Council, the precursor to today’s North Carolina Human Relations Commission, to address racial relation and school integration. “He was the first governor to embrace civil rights and to support North Carolina becoming a progressive state, willing to engage with issues such as civil rights,” Chafe said. Often going against the tide, Sanford formed a close relationship with President John F. Kennedy—a controversial decision for the governor of a conservative state wary of Catholics. Sanford was the only Southern governor to do so, Korstad noted. Sanford used his influence in the White House to encourage the growth of the Research Triangle Park, now an economic and technological hub. He launched what became North Carolina’s Board of Science, Technology & Innovation to help state industries apply scientific advances and technologies. Sanford also strongly opposed the nation’s entrance into the Persian Gulf War. Calling a war in the Middle East unnecessary, Sanford insisted that the U.S. had no interest in Kuwait that was worth the lives of American troops. Throughout his political career, Sanford emphasized education—at the time, North Carolina ranked in the bottom of all states for reading, math and science. To improve the system of public education, Sanford raised teacher salaries and established a community college system. He also consolidated the University of North Carolina school system, initiated the Governor’s School of North Carolina for talented high schoolers and founded

The Chronicle App

the North Carolina School of Arts. But for the execution of these initiatives, Sanford left academic matters to people he appointed who were more experienced than he was, Chafe said. When Sanford became president of Duke in 1969, students had positive views of him because of his liberal, progressive agenda. His tenure as Duke president occurred during a tumultuous time. When students held protests against the Vietnam War, Sanford supported the students’ frustrations, but according to a 1998 Washington Post article, said, “Don’t fight us. Let us all fight Washington together.” Korstad noted Sanford’s success in shaping Duke’s reputation as a national

leader. “It’s hard to imagine a single president who’s had more influence in the creating of the Duke of the day,” Korstad said. “[Sanford] really transformed Duke from a really top-class, Southern, more regional university into a national and increasingly international university.” While at Duke, Sanford also taught law and political science courses. He advocated for local growth, leading to the creation of a major performing arts center in the Triangle region. In his later years, he practiced law again and was elected to the Senate in 1986 after stepping down from his position at Duke. See SANFORD on Page 5

organizations run throughout the year. Last year, every program request was uploaded onto the public DSG Google Drive. This year, however, all the information has been moved to a private Duke Box folder. “We have switched over to a new system since now we have been told by [the University Center for Activities and Events] to not use Google Drive,” wrote SOFC Chair Alexa Soren, a senior, in an email. Tearria Beck-Scott, the advisor for SOFC and Student Development Coordinator of UCAE, wrote in an email that UCAE asked SOFC to move to a private server because it was a secure Duke network, while Google Drive was not. “With the confidential information being shared it needed to be moved to a storage system that is considered secure,” Beck-Scott wrote. Soren wrote that “groups’ fund codes as well as other information” are confidential. However, all program requests last year were uploaded to the DSG Google Drive with organization fund codes and other organization information. As of Thursday evening, these documents from last year remain publicly available. In fact, so far this year, Soren has presented 18 SOFC program requests to the Senate, as is required when a program costs more than $1,500. Most of those 18 program requests contain the fund codes that Soren added were confidential. Former SOFC Chair, Nikhil Gavai, Trinity ‘16, noted that another potential reason for privatizing program requests was to shield SOFC from being manipulated by dissatisfied student groups. “It’s just kind of an oversight on our part that we didn’t protect those files or make them more hidden because a lot of the time people don’t understand the nuances that SOFC has,” Gavai said. “We try to make that clear with guidelines on the website, but it’s very easy to nitpick a particular request and kind of falsely represent it to make an argument.” Gavai argued that public criticism would reduce SOFC’s ability to make decisions. He added that it is wrong to solely criticize SOFC because DUU’s decisions about how to spend its portion of the student activities fee are largely private. “To nitpick one side of the student activities fee for not being transparent is a little unfair to SOFC and DSG,” Gavai said. Soren denied The Chronicle’s request to access to the SOFC records, but wrote in an email Monday that she would release an oped by the end of November with information about where their money was spent. “I do recognize the need for transparency and appreciate you bringing up that point,” Soren wrote. Thursday evening, Soren emailed The Chronicle with a proposal to ask the consent of each group to make their program requests publicly available. DSG Treasurer Luke Farrell and Kristina Smith, senator for services and a member of the Financial Oversight and Advisory Committee, both sophomores, said that there should be a way provide access to all program requests, while protecting the private information.

During the creation of the Duke Oral History Program and the Center for Civil Rights and Race Relations, Sanford remained supportive. These programs changed Duke, allowing it to now recruit primarily black graduate students, Chafe said. Despite his other political successes, Sanford’s two presidential campaigns failed, as did his goal to create President Richard Nixon’s presidential library at Duke. Chafe was part of the group of faculty who opposed the Nixon Library. “What [Sanford] wanted was a monument to Richard Nixon,” Chafe said. “[The monument] would have transformed Duke and made Duke into a very different university.” However, Sanford always engaged with students, making himself open and accessible to the people he served, Korstad said. This year’s state gubernatorial election between incumbent Republican Pat McCrory and Democratic challenger Roy Cooper has been a close race, with a major topic of controversy being House Bill 2, signed into law by Gov. McCrory earlier this year. “He would never have supported the HB2 regulation that McCrory did,” Chafe said. “He would never have supported 99 percent of what McCrory was for.” Cooper’s platform, which focuses on increasing teacher salaries and state funding, is more in line with Sanford’s policies, Korstad added. Sanford’s legacy is still visible today because of the progressive ideas he championed in North Carolina. Duke continues to recognize him through the Sanford School of Public Policy, which is named in his honor. After he passed away in 1998 from cancer, Sanford was buried in the Duke University Chapel. “North Carolina has two different traditions—one is a more moderate, progressive tradition and another is more conservative, particularly on social issues and financial issues,” Korstad said. “Sanford certainly represents [those] more progressive tendencies of North Carolina politics.”

PIPELINE from page 2 campuses like Duke are learning more about Native life.” Junior Jack McDermott, president of the Environmental Alliance, also noted that he thought the event was a success. “The panelists engaged undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and community members alike,” McDermott wrote. “Together with NASA, we were able to inform the community about an incredibly significant and unprecedented event that is happening in real time.”

What’s Happening at Duke Better Left Unspoken

Yo—we’re about to be straight with you. Early voting ends on Saturday, and student voter turnout is at its lowest since 2008. At least, that’s what L-Mo’s email said. North Carolina is a swing state, and your vote is important AF (*slight modification of direct L-Mo quote*). What’s it gonna take for you to get to the polls?

Make MOP Great Again

It’s shocking—we know—but turns out Duke students STILL aren’t all that thrilled with Duke’s dining system. So what’s missing? Some say it’s the lack of Latin American options, some say it’s the restricted Merchants-on-Points delivery hours. Regardless, DUSDAC is trying to address student concerns—they finally decided to contact Guasaca Arepa & Salsa Grill (the restaurant they initially discussed in September) about becoming an MOP vendor.

There will be no food options in The Hollows. However, Cafe Edens—better known as Pitchforks—will meet new demand by expanding its menu, staff and seating capacity to 150 seats. Similarly, there will be no food options at the new East dormitory so that Marketplace will remain the center of first-year student life, said Rick Johnson, associate vice president of student affairs at HDRL. “Even though we had the open house today, we’ve been talking to students for more than four years about these projects, and what we’ve incorporated into each project addressed the concerns raised by students,” Johnson said. Johnson added that building a new residence hall on East Campus cost less than individually renovating Jarvis, East House and Epworth. The new residence hall on East Campus is estimated to cost at least $25 million. The creation of The Hollows and the combined renovation of Crowell and Craven will each cost $100 million, according to details released at the event.

Eight games into the season, little has gone Duke’s way. Not only do the Blue Devils have their worst record up to this point in four years, they have also lost three of their four captains to seasonending injuries. Duke will try to improve its fortunes and end a two-game skid Saturday against No. 23 Virginia Tech at 3:30 p.m. at Wallace Wade Stadium. The Blue No. 23 Devils are coming Va.

They also lost redshirt senior running back Jela Duncan to a torn Achilles tendon during a touchdown celebration. With quarterback Thomas Sirk and safety DeVon Edwards already done for the year, redshirt senior defensive tackle A.J. Wolf is the lone remaining captain who has stayed healthy. To make matters worse, Duke is still without veteran wide receiver Anthony Nash, who broke his clavicle against Louisville Oct. 14. “We’ve got an amazing thing when you’ve lost three of your four captains for the season. I’ve never been around anything like that,” Blue Devil head coach David Cutcliffe said. “Losses are tough and this has been an unusual year…. When you lose a few, what you look for is,

Then, after scoring 28 straight points in the second

Notre Dame ends Duke’s season with OT goal Staff Reports The Chronicle

Jeremy Chen | The Chronicle Carter Manley scored his first career goal Thursday but the Blue Devil defense could not contain Notre Dame star John Gallagher.

Given an extra day by Mother Nature to prepare for a matchup against Notre Dame in the first round of the ACC tournament, Duke hoped that a win against the Fighting Irish was just the first step in a lengthy postseason run that could have salvaged a DUKE 2 disappointing regular 3 season. ND But the Blue Devils came up just short in another heartbreaking loss. Duke’s dreams of making a postseason run were dashed Thursday as the 10thseeded Blue Devils fell 3-2 to No. 7 seed Notre Dame in overtime at Alumni Stadium in South Bend, Ind. After hanging with the Fighting Irish for 90 minutes, Duke conceded the game-winning goal with 55 seconds left in the first overtime when Notre

Dame forward John Gallagher found the back of the net on a header from six yards out to end the Blue Devils’ season. Head coach John Kerr’s team (7-8-2) put its resilience on display once again facing Notre Dame, twice rallying from a one-goal deficit to tie the game. But Duke was done in by a cross from freshman Jack Casey that Gallagher reached before the Blue Devil defense and headed past goalkeeper Robert Moewes to send the Fighting Irish to the ACC tournament quarterfinals. The matchup against Notre Dame (11-5-2) was initially scheduled for Wednesday but postponed to Thursday due to incoming thunderstorms in the area.

The senior was held scoreless the first two times Duke played North Carolina, but eight other Tar Heels have at least four goals this year and are capable of picking up the scoring if the Blue Devils key on Moyer. On the other end of the field, Duke will look to keep turning defense into offense after outscoring teams 18-3 in the last quarter of the season. The Blue Devils will have to get past ACC Defensive Player of the Year Julia Young and North Carolina goalkeeper Alex Halpin to keep their offense humming. But Duke showed it could control possession against its rival in the last contest, and hopes to use the same recipe to advance to the ACC tournament title game for the first time since 2011. “We’re going to stay to our gameplan,” Bustin said. “From our history, and what we know from our experience about the ACC tournament, is that adrenaline kind of negates the effect of playing back-toback games. Everyone is so amped up to play quality hockey, no matter what game you’re in.” Ben Feder contributed reporting.

Leona Maguire returns as Duke captures East Lake Cup Ben Leonard The Chronicle The Blue Devils have struggled so far this fall, but a win in the biggest fall event in the country could be just what they need to jump-start the 2016-17 season. Led by a bounce-back performance from sophomore Virginia Elena Carta, the No. 23 Blue Devils dispatched No. 5 UCLA Tuesday before downing defending national champions Washington Wednesday in match play to win the prestigious East Lake Cup at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The event features four of the top programs in the country each year, with 18 holes of stroke play determining seeds for match play. Duke was the third seed for match play following Monday’s 2-over-par round of stroke play, then upset the Bruins and knocked off the Huskies—who upset top-seeded and No. 4 Stanford in the match-play semifinals—to earn its first win of the fall. The tournament is one of the few that mimics the NCAA championship’s format of stroke-play rounds determining matchplay seeding and is played at the home of the PGA’s Tour Championship. “I’ve been saying all along that they turned this into a mini national championship with the stroke [play] one day, and the two days of match play…. We’re just delighted,” Duke head coach Dan Brooks said on Golf Channel following the round. “Their spirit is great. That is something you can’t put a

finger on. You need all five to be in at all times. When all five of them are all in, it becomes really special. We had that here, and it was great.” Carta—last season’s NCAA individual champion—had not shot an under-par round in her last nine outings, including a four-over-par 76 in stroke play this week. But the Udine, Italy, native stepped up on a big stage once again. After downing Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Year Lilia Vu in the first round against UCLA, Carta routed

Washington’s Ellen Takada in the finals to spark the team’s 3-1-1 win. The rest of Brooks’ team had struggled alongside Carta to finish 10th in its last event, the Tar Heel Invitational, without the world’s top-ranked amateur Leona Maguire. With Maguire back in full force—the junior carded a two-under-par 70 to pace the Blue Devils in stroke play and earned a point in match play Wednesday—the entire team seemed to respond. She missed the last event because she is trying to qualify for the LPGA Tour.

“It was a big team effort this week,” Maguire told GoDuke.com. “That’s what has been lacking this fall. We’ve had some good individual performances, but to come together this week as a team... was big for us. We’ve talked about it all year, to show that bit of leadership and everyone take care of what they can do, we definitely did that this week.” The Blue Devils got match-play wins from all five players in their starting lineup in their best event of the year to this point. Maguire, Carta and freshman Ana Belac picked up points in the first round to beat UCLA 3-2-0, and junior Lisa Maguire, Carta and senior Sandy Choi took victories in the second match. Choi’s birdie on the par-3 15th hole Wednesday sealed Duke’s win. Lisa Maguire’s turnaround as she works through a swing change encouraged her sister, Leona, especially after she shot a seven-over-par 79 in stroke play. Lisa Maguire had posted a scoring average of 76.50 heading into match play, including six rounds of 76 or higher, but gave the team one of the three points it needed to win Wednesday. “She’s been so close for so long,” Leona Maguire said. “It’s great to see that her hard work is paying off. She works harder than anyone I know, and to get that first point was huge. We all knew she could win... Hopefully that will give her some confidence heading See W. GOLF on Page 9

W. GOLF from page 8 into the spring.” Eventually, the Blue Devils might need Lisa Maguire to step up even more when her sister misses more events because of LPGA Tour qualifying school. Leona Maguire has made it to the final stage of the Q-School, and reiterated Wednesday that if she finishes in the top 20 and makes the cut, she will accept her LPGA card. “Anything else, I will come back to the best program in the country,” Maguire told Golf Channel. If Maguire does qualify for the professional ranks, Duke will need to build on its latest triumph as it builds toward May’s NCAA championship. Maguire is the only Blue Devil with a scoring average of even-par or better, and Duke would need four players to count toward its stroke-play rounds. With their fall slate wrapped up, the Blue Devils will return to Durham focused on catching up academically and celebrating their landmark win. “I know we have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on, but maybe we’ll celebrate this weekend, definitely,” Choi told Golf Channel.

Bucky Hodges has been a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses throughout his career, and All-ACC wide receiver Isaiah Ford is another goto target. Ford has a team-leading 648 receiving yards and six touchdowns. In order to slow down the Hokies, the Blue Devils will have to generate pressure and hope they can clean up the coverage busts that have cost them all year. Duke will also likely play softer coverage in the secondary to prevent Virginia Tech’s speedy receivers from beating its defensive backs downfield. “I had seen them earlier in the year on tape and I’ve seen them on television and certainly [been] studying this week,” Cutcliffe said on the ACC’s weekly teleconference Wednesday. “I’m extremely impressed with Virginia Tech.... They’re a very difficult team to defend.”

momentum heading into halftime. With just 45 minutes potentially standing between Duke and an early ACC tournament exit, the Blue Devils started the second half strong and created a few dangerous chances in the early minutes. But Duke struggled to convert, and Notre Dame took advantage in the 71st minute. Gallagher—the leading scorer in the ACC—was once again in the middle of the action, setting up junior Jeffery Farina for a header to put the home team back on top. The Blue Devils responded just minutes later when freshman Max Moser sent a corner kick into the box that found the head of junior Cameron Moseley, who beat goalkeeper Chris Hubbard for his teamleading sixth goal of the year. Although both teams had opportunities late in regulation, the back-and-forth contest remained tied, putting the two teams in overtime for the second time in as many weeks. But instead of Duke coming up with a from page 6 clutch game-winner, Gallagher showed why he is one of the best offensive players in the three shots on goal. country, dealing Duke its fourth one-goal The Fighting Irish opened up an early loss of the season. lead in the 10th minute when freshman The loss epitomized the Blue Devils’ Tommy McCabe floated a ball to the back up-and-down season in many ways.

But Jones will face a tougher test Saturday. Led by seasoned defensive coordinator Bud Foster, Virginia Tech— which sits atop the Coastal Division— surrenders 20.1 points per game thanks to its formidable pass rush. The Hokies (6-2, 4-1) generate pressure by disguising blitzes and having their defensive linemen stand upright before plays. Against that pressure, Jones will have to remain poised in the pocket and deliver the ball quickly to give Duke a chance to pull the upset. “[Their defense is] fundamentally sound,” redshirt junior center Austin Davis said. “Their scheme is really, really solid.” Defensively, the Blue Devils have been unable to prevent explosive plays. On Saturday, the Yellow Jackets’ triple-option offense gashed Duke on the ground and through the air for 605 yards on 61 plays. Duke surrendered 13 plays of at least 15 yards and struggled to get off the field, allowing Georgia Tech to convert 50 percent of its third-down attempts. The defense’s task will be no easier against an explosive Virginia Tech offense that appears to be peaking. Led by quarterback Jerod Evans, the Hokies—who average 36.3 points and 450.9 yards per game—keep opposing defenses off-balance with an up-tempo attack. Evans has been reliable with his decisionmaking, recording 21 touchdowns against just two interceptions. Like Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson and Georgia Tech’s Justin Thomas, the Trinity Valley Community College transfer can extend plays outside of the pocket. But even if the Blue Devils keep Evans in the pocket, he has a number of weapons on the outside that will test Duke’s secondary. At 6-foot-7, All-American tight end

our days. Four days remain until we pack into school cafeterias, ward offices and at Duke, the mysterious Devil’s Den, to cast votes for the next president of America. Collegeage students have been told this is normally a prideful affair. This year though, no one denies that things have turned poisonous. Sure, there are some of the usual healthy elements of voter enthusiasm—bumper stickers and record CNN election coverage ratings—but underneath, things are sick and turbulent. Half of Americans believe that they have no good choice for president: that one major candidate is a lout and the other a liar, and that neither of them represents their country well. Scholars have flooded discourse with explanations for how we got here, but almost all have gotten caught up in diagnosing symptoms of the problem while failing to acknowledge one of its roots—that the choice must be between Clinton and Trump—that only two parties can seriously compete to win the presidency. The two-party system is not strictly written into the Constitution, but electoral guidelines set out in the document have all but guaranteed its dominance. It has some benefits, to be sure: it is easy to understand, easy to cast votes in and does a good job of ensuring

that large groups of people can organize to keep politicians accountable. But it is severely limiting. Endorsing a two-party system is almost akin to saying that there are exactly two different kinds of people in the United States. It leaves no room for nuance or variance in opinion. Socialists, neoliberals and blue dogs are all shoved into the Democratic Party while libertarians, neoconservatives, alt-righters and businessrighters are all shoehorned into the Republican

party. If alt-righters turn out in great numbers in the Republican primary and elect Donald Trump as the party nominee, the other factions of the party are left homeless. They may loathe their candidate, but that changes nothing: there are effectively only two choices for president. That is not the end of the two-party dilemma. When parties become polarized, as has happened right now, a two-party system creates diametric opposition. Reaching across the aisle becomes a betrayal of one’s own—there is only room to support tribe A or B. As polarization amplifies, people grow

agitated and democracy denatures. The alternative to a two-party system is, of course, a multiparty system—one with more than two parties. In a multiparty system, there is no need for a broad spectrum of opinions to be squashed into a binary. There is room for a Sanders Left and a Clinton Left; a Cruz right, a Rubio Right and a whole new Ron Paul dimension. There is no strange election dance where candidates preach hard ideology in primary elections and then quickly revert to the median in a general election. Politicians belong to parties representative of them and voters can vote for platforms that reflect their true distribution of beliefs. Of course it isn’t really that simple. A US multiparty system would require the Constitution to be rewritten: a parliament would replace our congress, a prime minister our president and party ministers our cabinet. In a multiparty system, we might see the rise of fringe extremist parties. We might not be able to form a government. We might still find ourselves in unfortunate political situations. But at a time when swaths of Americans feel that they have no home in the political system, perhaps we need to think outside the box to solve our problems.

orty Acres,” she told me she had written in on her ballot, when I asked Destiny who she picked for president. Destiny’s answer was deeply moving to me, even if I wish she had voted for Hillary. Destiny, a young African American voter from Durham, understands southern history and the long struggle for freedom in our state better than most people I know, a history that been filled with broken promises for our state’s poorest residents. But Destiny was, in fact, really, really happy to have just voted. She is a formerly incarcerated person who did not know that her voting rights as a citizen in North Carolina had been automatically restored when she finished her parole two years ago. I had the honor of informing her of that fact when I canvassed her at the downtown bus station yesterday afternoon, and then drove her to the early voting site at the Devil’s Den at 309

who think that voting “just feeds the beast” as one undergraduate recently put it to me, I ask, think again! First, by opting not to vote, you are ceding your political voice to voters you don’t know, half of whom are now supporting Donald Trump for President. We are among the very closest states in the nation according to recent polls, with just 0.4 percent separating Trump and Clinton. Second, as Destiny said, Justice is on this ballot this election, along with which party will control the U.S. Senate. By voting in deadlocked races for U.S. Senate and State Supreme Court, you get to shape the legislative fate of the next Presidential administration as well as laws like HB-2 and the Voting ID law that recently disfranchised thousands of North Carolina citizens, including many Duke undergraduates whose out-of-precinct ballots were thrown into the trash in 2014. Because the North Carolina voter ID law has been temporarily stayed by a lower

Oregon St. Destiny was most excited by her vote for Mike Morgan, an African American judge who is running for State Supreme Court. If he wins that seat, a progressive majority would be restored to the State Supreme Court, along with the possibility of challenging many of our state’s unjust laws, such as HB-2 and the unfair racial gerrymandering that packed most of the state’s black voters and progressive whites into just three congressional districts. In the last congressional election, Democrats received more votes for Congress than Republican candidates statewide, but won just three of 13 Congressional seats. “Justice is on this ballot,” Destiny told me when she walked into the voting site. She emerged ten minutes later, beaming, thanking me for having helped her reclaim her political voice. As a historian and lifelong champion of voting rights, I have been moved by the voices of young voters like Destiny and many Duke students, who in voting for the first time not only stood up to be counted, but began a lifelong relationship with this noble, but flawed experiment we call Democracy. But I am deeply anxious this election: not simply by the increasingly likely prospect of a Donald Trump presidency, but by the stunning apathy and political disengagement of many really smart Duke students.

Appeals Court, early voting hours and same day registration have been fully restored to students at Duke and across the state. Voting could not be easier this election. You have hourly shuttles driving voters to the early voting site at the Devil’s Den; you have Uber support for Duke students to get a ride to the Devil’s Den, entirely free. And all Duke students need is their Duke ID to register and vote in the closest state in the nation. If you requested an absentee ballot that never arrived, you can STILL register and vote at the Devil’s Den until it closes at 1 p.m. this Saturday. You may not like the choices on this year’s ballot. But if you do not vote, you send a political message that is as bad if not worse than anything the candidates have uttered this year. That message is that Duke students don’t need to be disfranchised by law: they have found a way to silence themselves, and can be ignored without consequence in the future. For your sake—and the fate of our beleaguered Democracy and future generations confronting everything from climate change to gendered, racial and economic injustice at home, I urge you to show up, stand up and be counted.

The problem with pink

all is a season characterized by a change in colors. In nature, leaves fade from bright green to yellow, red and brown. In our shopping carts, everything from oven mitts to gourmet popcorn changes to a deep Pepto-Bismol pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Despite the cheeriness of the pink items, in its current incarnation Breast Cancer Awareness Month is increasingly being co-opted by corporate interests at the expense of public health. When you look at the history of breast cancer, the importance of a movement promoting breast cancer awareness is clear. Seemingly unthinkable now, breast cancer and its treatments were at one point considered unmentionable and unseemly. An article from the New York Times emphasizes how different attitudes

of this fact. The NFL is a prime culprit in using Breast Cancer Awareness Month to spiff up its public image and make some money in the process. Women make up 45 percent of the NFL’s viewership and represent the league’s greatest area of growth. For years the NFL has turned everything from flags to cleats pink for games in October, because nothing says “I care about women” like a pink chinstrap. In the wake of recurrent controversies, such as the handling of domestic violence incidents, the league is facing even greater pressure to appeal to female fans. The reality is that the NFL realizes significant direct financial gain from the sale of pink products. In 2013, Business Insider reported that while the NFL donates 90 percent of royalties from pink products to

THE PICTURE OF HEALTH were in 1974 when First Lady Betty Ford was diagnosed with breast cancer. The First Lady was candid and open about her treatments during a time when “many Americans still considered mastectomy a taboo subject, too fearful or even shameful to be discussed openly.” The book “The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer” details a vignette from the early 1950s. When a breast cancer survivor and advocate tried to place an ad for a breast cancer support group in the New York Times she was told by the society editor that they were not willing to print the words “breast” and “cancer,” but would instead print an ad about “diseases of the chest wall.” In the years following the development of mammography, public education was critical to widespread adoption of the screening test. Yet the current climate is saturated with messages about breast cancer. In the early 1990s, when the breast cancer advocacy movement was in its early grassroots years, Breast Cancer Awareness Month would be followed by an increase in breast cancer diagnoses in November, suggesting that more awareness led to women seeking medical attention and getting screened, thus leading to a higher rate of breast cancer diagnoses. This increase in diagnoses however has not been seen in subsequent years as knowledge of breast cancer has became well established nationally. Corporations and businesses utilize the current manifestation of Breast Cancer Awareness Month as a tool to advance their public image and increase profit. While many assume that funds used to purchase a pink tote bag, dog collar or traffic cone support research and care, the reality is that the generic pink ribbon symbol is neither regulated or trademarked and many pink products devote no proceeds towards either research or care. Of those corporations that do contribute a portion of profits to the cause, many donate only a small portion. This small donation may be dwarfed by the increase in profit that the corporation itself experiences from the sale of these feel good products. Other corporations have set a cap on the amount that they will donate to charity, regardless of how many pink items are sold. Once that cap is met, none of the profits are donated, but consumers are not informed

Is studying for a test really worth making yourself sick through sleep deprivation, all-nighters and worry? Is perfecting that 15-point homework assignment more important than Skyping your family? Don’t get me wrong, we’re here to learn. That task sometimes—often, in fact—involves breaking the boundaries of your comfort zone and pushing past what is easy and relaxing. But if university is to live up to its true goal of molding each of us into a successful,

MORE PERCENT EFFICIENT the American Cancer Society, 50 percent of the cost of merchandise is distributed to the company that sells the merchandise, which is typically the NFL or individual teams. If the “pink” brand increases sales, then the NFL may be taking in much more than it gives away. Another concern is that some information disseminated by breast cancer charities in the name of “awareness” is not supported by medical evidence. On its website, the Keep A Breast Foundation states that it aims to “empower young people around the world with breast health education and support,” although they are probably better known for their controversial slogan of “Save the boobies” which has been criticized for reducing women to the sum of their sexually attractive parts. As part of its work, the foundation created a Breast Self-Exam smartphone App. This despite the fact the breast self exams do not improve breast cancer survival, and despite the fact that the United States Preventative Services Task Force and the American Academy of Family Physicians no longer recommend teaching breast self exams. An analysis by the American College of Physicians questions the benefits of both breast self exams and clinical breast exams performed by a medical provider. Keep a Breast purposefully targets youth and young adults in their outreach efforts. A lump that a young woman finds in her breast is overwhelmingly more likely to be benign than cancerous. Because the risk of breast cancer is so low in the youthful demographic that Keep a Breast targets, self breast exams are much more likely to result in unnecessary, painful, and expensive testing than they are to save a life (or a booby, since that’s what matters, apparently). So ditch the pink gear. If you want to help fight breast cancer, give the money directly to a credible organization that funds research or care. But don’t be fooled into letting a corporation take advantage of the breast cancer narrative and your generosity to line their own pockets.

afternoon had been spent trying on absurdly expensive designer clothing at the Century 21 department store (though the only items I bought were a few pairs of novelty dress socks). I slipped my phone back into my bag. The text had greatly reassured me. My bank account would be fine. I would be fine. It was time to enjoy the evening. Late-night text messages from my father didn’t used to be where I would go looking for wisdom. Lately though, it’s become something of a habit. It may be the fact that we now live 3,000 miles apart, but he seems to have gotten more sagacious in the past year and a half since I’ve moved away. I’ve been thinking a lot about that text message these two weeks since I came back from my New York City jaunt and I realized that his words applied to more lives than just mine. Here at Duke University we all invest years of our lives in the hope that sometime later we will enjoy the fruits of our labor. Far off in the future, we hope, is a golden age when we can have a big house, a fast car and a fat paycheck. But a lot of us forget that time, not money, is our most valuable resource. (I know I forgot it for too long.) Refocusing on the essentials means spending energy where it really packs a punch. The value of your life, in the end, is not a sum of your possessions or even of your accomplishments, but a sum of your memories and experiences. This brings me to an important tool for returning equilibrium to your life, especially if you feel like your days are a slog instead of a stroll. It’s a cliché, but also a reminder: if you won’t remember something in five years, don’t spend more than five minutes worrying about it. The goal here is not to say, “Years

competent individual then it needs to teach us to live successfully. That means leading a life that is worth living, worth sharing with others and worth remembering. What if, for every decision you made, you asked yourself, “Would my future self praise me for this action? Would I be proud to tell my friends and family about what I’m doing?” Those questions alone can help you eliminate a majority of the timewasting, stress-inducing activities we use to jam pack our days. Getting in the habit of asking yourself these questions can’t eliminate your stresses. However, you can make your life easier, better and far more enjoyable if you focus on making memories instead of making grades. Every decision you make involves sacrifices. They may not be obvious at the time, but each instance you choose to spend your time and focus on one object, you sacrifice the opportunity to spend it on something else. In his book, “On the Shortness of Life,” the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca wrote, “People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.” So ask yourself, “Have I squandered my time?” Wonder, “Have I spent my energy making memories of tasks that will only survive until they are replaced by the next wave of assignments?” Then consider, “Do I do something each day that my future self would be proud of and grateful for?” For the sake of your happiness, I hope that you do.

FACULTY SUPPORT LETTER for Duke Graduate Students Union Dear President Brodhead, Provost Kornbluth, and Dean McClain: We are writing as Duke faculty to express our support for graduate students across disciplines, programs, and schools coming together to form a union with SEIU Graduate Workers Forward. As you may know, the National Labor Relations Board recently extended collective bargaining rights to graduate student employees at private universities. Following this decision, graduate students are organizing across the country for better working conditions. We believe that a better working environment for graduate students will also help to improve their institutions of higher education overall. We support the right of graduate students to organize at Duke, and we hope that the Duke administration will remain fully neutral in the process. Many of us have special relationships with the graduate students in our programs. Thus, we can say with first-hand experience that graduate students do labor crucial to the university’s core teaching and research mission that often goes unrecognized. They serve as teaching assistants in our departments and instruct many courses on their own. Graduate students also work as research assistants in labs and libraries across campus, providing important support to faculty research projects. As significant as these responsibilities are, they do not account for the other, more informal ways graduate students contribute, through mentoring undergraduates, participating in university taskforces and committees, organizing conferences and otherwise strengthening intellectual and social life on campus. They are colleagues in every sense of the word. Yet, despite their important contributions to Duke’s academic community, the university has not fully met graduate students’ needs. Stipends have not adequately kept with the pace of inflation and the rising cost of living in Durham. Graduate students’ university health insurance program fails to include dental insurance and requires prohibitively high costs to include family members. Racial discrimination and sexual harassment grievance procedures do not fully address graduate students’ workplace dynamics. It is time to offer our colleagues fair working conditions — they need and they have earned this much. Duke has the resources necessary to raise standards and improve working conditions. We appreciate the strong professional and personal relationships we develop with our graduate student colleagues. We want them to have the resources and support they need to do their best work, not only on their own research, but in all the other roles they play on campus. While we try to advocate on their behalf when we can, we think graduate students are best positioned to speak to their own needs and should be empowered to express their interests as a group. They deserve a place, as equals, at the bargaining table. Sincerely, Louise Meintjes, Associate
