Grad students pack Blue Zone for campout

Ernestine Friedl passes

away Mon. Staff Reports The Chronicle

Sanjeev Dasgupta | The Chronicle This year’s graduate student campout for men’s basketball season tickets occurred during Fall Break and was disrupted by rain Saturday. Despite the elements, approximately 1,600 students participated. | See story on page 2.

Ernestine Friedl, the first female dean of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, died Monday, the University announced in a press release. Friedl was 95 and passed away at The Cedars, a retirement community in Chapel Hill. A renowned anthropologist and James B. Duke Professor Emerita, Friedl came to Duke in 1973 to become chair of the cultural anthropology department, a position she held until 1978. She served as dean of Trinity from 1980 until 1985, pushing forward initiatives to increase diversity and overseeing the establishment of the Women’s Studies program. In 2008, the building that formerly housed East Campus’s art museum was renovated to house humanities and social science programs and was renamed after Friedl. The See FRIEDL on Page 4

Clery Act criteria subjective for each case, experts say Lucy Zhang The Chronicle The University’s decision not to alert students and staff after a hospital employee was attacked Sept. 20 has raised questions about Duke’s criteria for notifying campus personnel of criminal activity under the Clery Act. Duke’s responsibility in reporting crime is outlined by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act, a federal statute that requires all U.S. colleges to report certain statistics and criminal activity to students and employees. The legislation is named after

Jeanne Clery, a student at Lehigh University who was raped and murdered in 1986 by another Lehigh student. Clery’s parents argued that her death could have been avoided with more public crime reports. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, previously said that the hospital incident did not meet the Clery Act’s criteria. The Clery Act states that colleges must “immediately notify the campus community upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on the campus... unless issuing a notification will compromise efforts to contain the emergency.”

The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting published by the U.S. Department of Education explains how colleges should classify Clery Act crimes and what types of incidents warrant notification—including cases of sexual assault and aggravated assault. The alert notification itself depends on who reports the crime along with several other factors such as the geographic region and definition of a college’s campus. Alison Kiss, executive director of the Clery Center for Security On Campus, noted the need to protect members of the campus community without risking identifying the victim through notifications. She added that See CLERY ACT on Page 4

Students, admins talk Duke’s Grad students camp out left-leaning tendencies for basketball season tickets Jaime Gordon The Chronicle Political diversity on college campuses has come under fire recently—from both GOP presidential hopeful Dr. Ben Carson as well as President Barack Obama. In June, Carson suggested that the federal government ought to defund colleges that demonstrate “extreme political bias.” While registering his disagreement with Carson, Obama acknowledged that college students, especially left-leaning ones, at times run the risk of being “coddled” from opposing viewpoints. Various political groups on campus and faculty

noted that although Duke slants to the left of the political spectrum overall, the University also plays host to a variety of different opinions and continues to foster active debate. “To a certain extent, it’s the mission of the University to make people feel uncomfortable, because then you might actually start to think harder,” said Connel Fullenkamp, professor of the practice of economics. Duke’s liberal leanings have drawn criticism in the past. In 2006, Duke Magazine— a publication produced by the Office of Alumni Affairs—published an article called “Leftward Leanings” regarding the potential See POLITICAL VIEWS on Page 4

Approximately 1,600 graduate and professional school students camped out in the Blue Zone parking lot this weekend for the chance to win season tickets for Duke men’s basketball. The annual campout—organized by the Basketball Committee of the Graduate and Professional Student Council—is the largest gathering of graduate and professional students each year and allows students to enter into a lottery to purchase season passes to all home games for $300, said Abbe LaBella, president of GPSC. She added via email that 725 passes were eventually sold. The campout also offered a rare opportunity for students from diverse academic and professional backgrounds to bond and interact, she noted. “Our community does rally around basketball,” LaBella said. This year’s campout started at 8:30 p.m. Friday and lasted until the final check-in at 7:00 a.m. Sunday, at which point the lottery was conducted. More than 50 random check-ins were conducted during the course of the weekend, LaBella said, adding that campers were only allowed to miss one before they were disqualified. Due to the randomness of the checkin times—which could be anywhere from 10 to 90 minutes apart—most students stayed in Blue Zone for the majority of the weekend, said Joshua The Chronicle spoke to LaBella via phone and Fries, a first-year student in the Doctor via email.

of Physical Therapy program. Despite the strict campout rules, there were exemptions available allowing students to miss check-ins for either important academic reasons or for GPSC-sponsored community service activities. One such activity involved visiting the Al Buehler Trail in the Duke Forest and getting rid of invasive species, said Jennifer Floyd, a secondyear student in the School of Nursing. “We got two hours to go and take a shower and be away from this crazy environment for a little bit,” she said. In addition to the service activities, GPSC sponsored cornhole tournaments, trivia contests and a carnival to help students mingle with each other outside their respective tents. Heavy rain Saturday caused the carnival to be cut short. Students’ primary complaint with the event was that opportunities to sleep were few and far between, especially when “obnoxious people at five in the morning won’t shut up,” Floyd said. LaBella noted that campout looked somewhat different this year, as this was the first year GPSC scanned students’ wristbands during the check-in process. Although scanning sped up the process and reduced wait times, the wristbands had a tendency to wear off and become unreadable to the scanners, forcing students to get new ones, LaBella said. She added that GPSC’s Basketball Committee will look into getting more durable wristbands for next year.

New Ninth Street vendors draw rave reviews Elaine Zhong The Chronicle Newly opened restaurants and cafes in Durham’s Ninth Street district have become trendy destinations for students. In the past year, many new dining options have opened on Ninth Street, including a burger restaurant, a coffee shop and a Venezuelan eatery. Many students have expressed positive reactions to the changes, noting the eateries’ high quality and service. “Ninth Street is awesome,” said freshman Anika Mukherji. “It encompasses cuisine styles from all cultures and is very affordable.” Burger Bach—a gastropub located near Erwin Mill that serves gourmet grassfed beef and lamb burgers imported from New Zealand—has generated enthusiasm among freshman in particular, who received $10 off coupons during Orientation Week. Freshman Sam Sadler noted that she was impressed by how the restaurant was able to accommodate for vegetarian and gluten-free customers. The eatery attracts a diverse customer body, ranging from local teenagers and college students to families and older couples, she said. The interior decor is warm and comforting with many table seats, bar seats and even outdoor seating, explained sophomore Lucy Chen. “Heating is available outdoors so you don’t even have to worry about being cold,” she said. Chen added that she enjoyed the lamb burger, oyster and fries that she ordered, noting that she thinks $10-$20

price per meal is reasonable and “totally worth it” for an average college student. She explained that she liked the French fries especially—which can be accompanied by one of the 13 types of dipping sauces, ranging from ketchup and Chipotle BBQ sauce to Tzatziki Sauce and Bach Béarnaise. “I would say the only downside is probably that you would often have to wait in line for a while to be seated,” she said. Ninth Street Coffee House and Juice Bar—which opened in March in the

space formerly occupied by Market Street Coffee—has also become a popular spot. Owner and chef Lindsey Williams said that the shop makes smoothies and organic coffee with beans from Ethiopia. It has a cozy, relaxing and artistic environment that makes it suitable for resting and socializing, he said. He added that on Saturday afternoons, it also provides live entertainment featuring artists from the local area. Freshman Sujata Kishnani said that she likes how Ninth Street Coffee House

has a 10-20 percent discount specially for Duke students. Epa Chamo—a Venezuelan restaurant— opened on Ninth Street at the end of May. It specializes in arepas, or corn-based flatbreads filled with cheese, vegetables and pulled meat. Mukherji said that the arepa tasted light and spongey but was not too heavy. As a sports bar, the restaurant has a lively atmosphere during sporting events, with customers dressed in jerseys to root for their teams, said sophomore Yasmine Miao. Epa Chamo will soon be joined by another arepa-serving restaurant named Guasaca at the end of October, said Guasaca owner Heliangel Mendez. The eatery also has a Raleigh location, which has been popular among students from North Carolina State University. After catering Engineering Department events at Duke three to four times a year, Mendez said he thought that opening a Durham branch—and possibly a Morrisville branch in the future—would help meet the increasing demands. “I’m positive that once Duke students try our arepas and see the price range, they will feel very good about it,” he said. “You can walk away very satisfied with only paying $4-7, and what we serve has a much higher quality than fast food.” Mendez added that he is looking forward to collaborating with the online platform Groupon to provide discounts, as he has been doing at the Raleigh location. In general, students reported being highly satisfied with the options available on Ninth Street. “The only thing I hope to see in the future would probably be a frozen yogurt shop,” Mukherji said.

POLITICAL VIEWS from page 2 presence of political bias on campus. That same year, conservative writer David Horowitz named two Duke professors—Miriam Cooke, professor of Asian and Middle Eastern studies, and Frederic Jameson, professor of literature—in his book ”The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.” Fullenkamp said that it is almost impossible for professors to completely remove their own views from their classrooms, but noted that, in his personal experience, he had not come across a Duke professor who was a staunch doctrinaire. “I make it no secret that I’m a registered Republican,” he said. “That’s not what my classes are about. My classes are about giving my students an opportunity to make up their own damn minds.” Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, explained that there is a wide range of political ideologies represented at Duke, describing the campus as “open and politically diverse.” He said that he is aware of faculty members who reside at both ends of the spectrum, but that most fall somewhere in between. Regarding the diversity of speakers brought to campus, Schoenfeld noted that Duke does not have any type of political litmus test. “What the University does is provide a forum for all points of view,” he said. “We do not prevent speakers from coming here. We have speakers who make people angry, we have speakers who make people elated.” Freshman Steve Hassey, communications director for Duke Democrats, agreed with Schoenfeld. Citing the Sept. 10 workshop hosted by Heather Mac Donald, a well-known secular conservative, Hassey said a wide range of speakers come to campus—though attendance to the talks might vary. “Institutions of higher education over-

whelmingly are going to be more liberal,” Hassey said, “But it doesn’t necessarily mean we are quelling conservatives.” Senior Adam Lemon, chair of Duke College Republicans, explained that many conservative students on campus are self-silencing, largely choosing to keep their views to themselves. “There are definitely many more liberals on campus, but conservatives are much more silent as a whole,” he said. “The main problem is that even if conservative and liberal conversations are going on, they’re never in the same room. We put ourselves in these echo chambers, and it’s not good.” The question of ideological diversity was also raised in the dialogue surrounding a few Duke students’ refusal to read parts of this year’s summer reading book, “Fun Home,” due to its sexual imagery. Students and some media outlets criticized the students for failing to engage with a book that could challenge their beliefs. Even though some amount of political bias cannot be avoided among students, faculty and administration, Schoenfeld said that Duke reflects the broader political discussion happening around the country. “Duke is a microcosm of society,” he said. “Everything that goes on out there happens here to some extent.”

CLERY ACT from page 1 the decision to issue a warning relies partially on the discretion of law enforcement as well as the institution. “Some factors that typically come into weighing this decision are: is there a current or on-going threat? Will issuance of a warning impede on an investigation? Will issuance of a warning risk identifying or placing the victim in harm or identifying this person?” Kiss said. “After these factors are weighed, if a decision is made not to issue the warning, this decision

needs to be documented.” Kiss said this documentation is often not made public. The Clery Act only requires universities to issue warnings for incidents happening on campus, but whether or not certain locations qualify as on-campus is a “gray area,” wrote Rebecca Bach, associate professor of the practice and director of undergraduate studies in sociology, in an email. Schoenfeld confirmed via email that the medical center is considered on-campus for reporting purposes. Even if Duke Hospital were to be considered off campus, Bach said, an alert for the Sept. 20 incident would not have been unprecedented. “I would think that sending an alert for this instance would be consistent with the spirit of the Clery Act, if not the letter of the law,” Bach wrote. “Moreover, in the past, many schools have sent alerts for Clery crimes committed near campus in addition to those on campus. This is especially relevant when colleges are located in a large urban area and many students live off campus.” Sophomore Emma Miles, who has done research on the Clery Act under Bach, said that when off-campus incidents have occurred geographically between Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UNC sent out alerts while Duke did not. “For private universities it’s a big deal to send out an alert, because no one wants to admit that we’re actually in danger,” Miles said. Bach’s research has also found that a significant number of alerts being sent out on campuses nationwide are not Clery crimes but rather alerts for weather or traffic incidents. Duke Chief of Police John Dailey noted that although DUPD receives reports of relevant incidents on campus, the responsibility for reporting certain crimes does not fall solely under one jurisdiction. “While the police department generally

The Chronicle receives reports of incidents on campus, numerous other individuals (such as some Student Affairs staff) must also report specific crimes they are aware of,” Dailey wrote in an email. DukeALERT, the notification system through which students and staff receive information about criminal activity, has reported several other incidents recently. These include an armed robbery near Swift Avenue July 24, an investigation of a reported sexual assault on Science Drive Aug. 20 and another armed robbery on Central Campus Sept. 2. Miles and Bach noted that although the Clery Act is supposed to represent a federal standard, in practice subjectivity is baked into the criteria for reporting crimes. “Unfortunately, schools show a great deal of variation in how they comply with Clery,” Bach wrote.

FRIEDL from page 1 African and African American Studies, Cultural Anthropology and Literature programs are among the humanities programs currently based in the Friedl Building. “Her legacy is all around us,” President Richard Brodhead said when the building reopened, characterizing Friedl as a “person of ever-young spirit, with a warmth and humanity that endears her to all.” Two weeks ago, Friedl’s granddaughter organized a departmental luncheon for Friedl in the building bearing her name. “It was a joyous, wonderful event for everyone. Ernie got to meet everyone and was very interested in what they were working on,” said Charles Piot, chair of the cultural anthropology department, in the release. As is customary when a former faculty member dies, Duke’s flags were lowered Tuesday.

DUKE FALLS TO CRUSADERS The rise of the

take your chances and you don’t put teams away, you leave yourself open to a counter-attack goal. Holy Cross capitalized on one of the two opportunities they had in the second half and scored the goal and fought for their lives the rest of the way.” Holy Cross (4-4-4) dominated ball control in the first 20 minutes and had an early opportunity to break the deadlock. Defender Eddie Gibbons found a bouncing ball outside the box in the seventh minute and fired a 25-yard shot that missed the target. Duke (5-6-2) tried to grab the lead by putting deep crosses inside the box but the Crusaders snuffed out the passes from graduate student Jared Rist and sophomores Brian White and Macario Hing-Glover. In the 22nd minute, senior midfielder Zach Mathers— who led the Blue Devils’ offense with six shots—took a free kick from the left side of the box but his attempt from 20 yards out missed the target by a few inches. Sophomore Noah Snyder racked up a long-range shot with three minutes to play before intermission, but it went wide. The two squads headed to the locker room with no change on the scoreboard.

Dr. Jen Welter. Becky Hammon. Justine Siegal. If you consider yourself an avid sports fan, these are three names you should know. Never heard of them? Google them, I’ll wait.... Great, now you’re caught up. In the span of less than a year, these three women have infiltrated three of the most powerful professional sports leagues in the world—the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball— each becoming the first female member of a coaching staff in their respective league. In a time where women’s sports are looked at as “less than” or “more boring than” their male counterparts, these three women have proven they can do anything their male counterparts can do—and sometimes better. Take Hammon for example—after serving as an assistant coach for the heralded San Antonio Spurs last season, the six-time WNBA All-Star was named the head coach of the Spurs’ summer league team. Not only did Hammon earn the loyalty and respect of the team, she coached them to a Summer League championship. With her victory, Hammon proved a male team coached by a woman could be not only successful, but the very best. Welter and Siegal are pioneers in their sports as well. Welter—who previously played in women’s football leagues and served as a coach for a male professional indoor football team— was a preseason intern for the Arizona Cardinals. There, Welter worked with the squad’s linebackers and received public praise from other members of the coaching staff as well as the athletes. Siegal had already become the first female to throw Major League Baseball batting practice in 2011. Last month, the Oakland Athletics asked her to serve as a guest coach for the team’s 2015 Instructional League. Although their sports may be completely different, these three women share characteristics that extend beyond the game they play. They have each stepped up to the role they have earned and silenced the critics who

Melanie Park | The Chronicle Sophomore Jeremy Ebobisse and the Blue Devils generated plenty of scoring chances Tuesday but were unable to break through in a 1-0 loss to Holy Cross.

Jesús Hidalgo The Chronicle The Blue Devils manufactured several chances to take the lead Tuesday night but still found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreboard for the second time in four days—and the sixth time in their last eight matches. Despite outshooting Holy Cross 19-5—with 12 attempts coming in the second half—Duke fell to the Crusaders 1-0 at Koskinen Stadium. With only 1 five matchups before the end of HOLY DUKE 0 the season for the Blue Devils, the upset against Holy Cross poses a serious threat to their postseason aspirations. Sophomore forward Yuji Callahan netted the lone goal of the game in the 67th minute. Holy Cross forward Joey DeVivo started a counter-attack in midfield and found Callahan, who scored his third goal this season with a low shot from 25 yards out that Duke goalkeeper Mitch Kupstas could not turn away. “We had a lot of good approach and built up play and we created enough chances to win three or four games,” Duke head coach John Kerr said. “But when you don’t

the Blue Devils tried to find the equalizer, but headers from Huitema and Ebobisse missed the target and Wright dealt with the shots from Manley and Hing-Glover. Duke had its two last chances in the final five minutes but Mathers sent a 20-yard free kick above the bar and Ebobisse did not manage to put a shot on frame from four yards out with an open net. “We present good opportunities and [what we’re missing is] the last bit of confidence just to finish off the play,” Kerr said. “I can’t tell you how many guys were just in front of the goal with nobody to beat but the goalkeeper and they rushed the shot and panicked. That [happens] when a team is not confident.” The Blue Devils will look to capture their first ACC victory Friday evening when they battle No. 18 N.C. State at Koskinen Stadium.

“When you’re going through a game that you’re dominating and you’re still not finishing your chances, it’s really hard to make sure you concentrate the whole time,” Kerr said. “To do that is part of our challenges when we are playing teams that we should be beating.” Duke had the best opportunities to clinch the first goal of the evening in the beginning of the second half but was later punished for not capitalizing. In the 51st minute, Mathers powered a 23-yard shot that Wright controlled without trouble. Four minutes later, graduate student Tyler Hilliard connected on a header from the penalty spot that went wide right. “We’re creating the chances. That’s all you can ask for, but we need to start finishing them,” junior forward Brody Huitema said. “This is a big loss. What we really need to do in the next two days of training is to forget this loss completely. It doesn’t matter—it’s done now.” In a three-minute span, Huitema and sophomore Jeremy Ebobisse could have put Duke ahead 1-0 but the Crusader goalkeeper and the post prevented the would-be goals. In the 60th minute, Huitema connected on a low cross from defender Carter Manley with a first-touch shot but Wright pulled off a save with his legs. Just minutes later, Ebobisse dribbled past a defender and fired from 12 yards out but his shot hit the post and the ball was then turned away by a Holy Cross defender. After the Crusaders’ goal, Holy Cross defended the lead sudoku_497A with eight or nine players in its defensive third of the pitch as

COACHES from page 12 would claim there is no place for women in men’s athletics. For once, it seems the professional leagues have gotten it right. My challenge is to college institutions that are far behind in this regard. The collegiate level is a place where athletes and coaches alike hone their skills— oftentimes in order to work their way up to the “big leagues.” But in the case of female coaches, it seems many are not getting an equal chance. Take Duke for example. The University currently fields teams in 26 varsity sports and employs 23 head coaches, with softball set to become the 27th sport

The addition of softball in a time when many athletic programs are downsizing demonstrates the University’s dedication to athletics. I certainly am not trying to take away from the skills and achievements of the men who deserve the head coaching positions they possess, but I challenge Duke and other universities to break the mold. Title IX protects women while they are in the classroom and on the field, but what happens when they graduate? Women like Becky Hammon, Jen Welter and Justine Siegal should not be anomalies.

in 2018. Of these 23, seven are female. None of the 13 male teams have female head coaches. If female coaches are skilled enough for professional athletes, why not collegians? Don’t get me wrong, Duke should be praised for entrusting women like former rowing head coach Robyn Horner, current women’s lacrosse head coach Kerstin Kimel and new softball coach Marissa Young to build competitive programs from the ground up. But women are capable of leading and developing programs regardless of the gender in uniform.

The GOP’s state of disunion

esterday’s first Democratic primary debate provided a stark contrast to the previous two Republican debates. In the former, we saw a largely coherent stage of candidates. Helped by the fact that only five politicians were featured in CNN’s debate, the expectation for the first Democratic debate was that it would be more about substantive platform nuances and track records as candidates tried to distinguish themselves. On the other hand, the first Republican debate saw a packed stage of 17 candidates split across two time slots, a huge field that only narrowed by two in the month and a half leading up to the second debate last month. Confusion in the GOP over who their eventual nominee will be and more pressingly over what the party stands for will be catastrophic for the party, costing them elections, donors and their long-term voter base. We can understand the state of the GOP by examining two major headlines that have flooded recent political news: the progression of the 2016 presidential primaries and the selection of the new speaker of the Republican-led House of Representatives. The 2016 presidential primary has largely been characterized by the dominance of outsider voices appealing to a frustrated Republican voter base, while the recent announcement by current Speaker John Boehner of his resignation hints at

the radical right-wing forces reshaping the GOP on Capitol Hill. The lateness of the GOP to substantive debates in the way of a smaller field is highly problematic for voters who will need to either learn why they are voting for Donald Trump or figure out who the remaining candidates are after Trump fades. The conversation at both debates so far has been dominated by banter and high-fives— helped along by Trump’s personality. The size of the GOP’s field and its celebrity character have caused the number of Republican candidate mentions to dwarf Democratic mentions on social media, television and

Editorial newspapers and often in a way more akin to a political tabloid than political journalism when it comes to the most widely shared posts and tweets. We question whether a substantive conversation can ever occur with such a large field. Without a narrowing—and soon— voters will have too little to go on in the way of serious platform definition and engagement. This conversation contrasts manifestly with the debate among Democratic candidates to differentiate themselves. Beyond how the dog and pony show stands to set back Republicans in the road to the White

House, the GOP as it exists on capitol hill is working through its own crisis. John Boehner’s announcement of his resignation late last month speaks of the pressures exerted by an increasingly radical brand of conservatism in Washington. The Freedom Caucus and revolutionaries who make a crisis of every negotiation are concentrating their own viewpoints to the detriment of legislative progress. The sharp right turn of the Republican party in recent election cycles has further disenchanted many young republicans trying to find exemplars of old conservatism, to hold platforms and ideologies they can reconcile with the momentum of social justice movements and to have career politicians they can improve upon. Overwhelmingly, they find none of this in the Tea Party and Freedom Caucus. As the GOP looks to find its star candidate and its ideological center, we echo the frustration felt by many Americans about the lack of excellent conservative leaders. No matter your political affiliation, an unbalanced political climate on campus and across the nation benefits nobody with the consequent lack of political debate. Well-constructed platforms and coherent, widely palatable ideologies along with a serious look at where voters and the media should be directing their attention in the presidential race will be vital to the long-term prospects of the GOP.

What gives, Joaquin?

urricane Joaquin is behind us, but its aftermath can still be felt. Here in Durham, we were merely deluged with cold rain, but in the central Bahamas, a massive storm surge flooded streets and enveloped houses. Three islands experienced a total blackout, and about 85 percent of the homes in one settlement on Crooked Island were reportedly destroyed. Joaquin was the strongest Atlantic hurricane since Igor in 2010

has already started—the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, finalized this past summer, focuses on cutting carbon pollution from power plants. Going further, at this year’s international climate summit in Paris, the U.S. will pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 26 to 28 percent from 2005 levels over the next decade. Leading up to the Paris talks, every country taking part is required to submit emissions targets and climate adaptation goals. 200 countries will participate

and was just 2 mph shy of developing into a Category 5 storm. Surprising stuff, especially since this year’s strong El Niño means we expect stronger Pacific storms and weaker Atlantic ones. So what gives? Apparently Joaquin hit an unusually warm pool of water in the ocean and stayed there long enough to gain intensity. Evaporation of warm water fuels a hurricane and hotter sea surface temperatures mean more evaporation and thus more energy for the storm. There was also a drop in wind shear—upper atmospheric winds that bring drier air into the center of the hurricane and damper its progress. This combo gave Joaquin some serious power. Wind power isn’t the biggest danger with hurricanes though; it’s the storm surge that’ll get you. This bulge of water that builds up in front of a storm is the number one killer in hurricanes and was responsible for deaths during hurricanes Katrina and Sandy. This is particularly troublesome because, even as climate change creates warmer ocean temperatures that lend power to storms, it also contributes to sea level rise—a factor that greatly increases the danger from storm surge. According to a 2013 study, global warming has already doubled the risk of Hurricane Katrinamagnitude storm surges in the U.S. Researchers estimate that for every 1.8°F increase in global average surface temperature, there could be a two-fold to seven-fold increase in the risk of Katrina-magnitude surge events. The latest climate projections predict that the globe will warm between 3.2°F and 7.2°F by 2100, depending on future greenhouse gas emissions and the precise sensitivity of the climate systems to such pollutants. So it seems like now, if ever, is the best time to start reducing emissions. Luckily this process

in the talks, which are essential for unifying the globe towards emissions reduction. On a smaller scale, Duke University is contributing with its 2009 Climate Action Plan, which will guide the university to achieve climate neutrality by 2024. The CAP suggests reduction measures such as eliminating coal use on campus, energy conservation measures, installing solar panels, providing direct financial incentives for alternative transportation and improving regional transportation. As of 2014, Duke has achieved a 21 percent reduction in emissions based on a 2007 baseline. This reduction is partially due to the elimination of coal use on campus in 2011. Furthermore, the university made efficiency upgrades to the steam system that has reduced emissions from campus steam plants by 36 percent since 2007. Other measures also contributed, such as the launch of the Bull City Connector bus and the replacement of 10 campus buses with two hybrid-articulated buses and six ultra-low-sulfur diesel buses. In addition to these tactics, the university is also expanding its sustainability education program—more than 400 courses with sustainability-related content were offered to students in academic year 2013-2014. Education is probably one of the most essential aspects of reducing greenhouse gas emission and diminishing the intensity of future climate change. As Duke students, we’re part of the next generation of policy makers, scientists and average citizens who will play a large part in our climate future. We’re at the cusp of a dangerous temperature increase, and the decisions we make today will greatly impact the safety and health of our planet tomorrow. Caeleigh MacNeil is a Trinity senior.

The problem with outsiders

hat do Ben Carson, Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina and Bernie Sanders have in common? For one, they’re all performing strongly in the polls. For another, three have never held prime political positions before, and the only one who has, spent his entire life fighting mainstream politics. This peculiar fact reflects a growing distrust between the American people and politicians in the government. A Pew survey released last week found that 24 percent of the public has an unfavorable view of both political parties—four times that of

Progress as depicting “a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.” Trump’s solution to all of America’s problems is to build a wall. And meanwhile, Sanders has already won a fiercely supported reputation as a man unwillingly to compromise. This belief shared by all antipoliticians that they can radically transform the government is not, as a cynic might say, laughable. Indeed, the point of elected officials is to continually generate change to satisfy the wills of their constituents.

THE UNKNOWN IDEAL

a decade ago. The word “politician” has become an insult, soon to be on par with selfish, greedy and corrupt. Unlike in every other job, where increased experience in a field heightens your chances of getting hired, the very opposite is seemingly true in this election cycle. Ironically, for arguably the most important job in the United States, the unsettling fact is that the less experience you have, the higher your poll numbers become. This phenomenon is called the “antipolitician appeal.” Critics might argue that this trend toward “anti-politicians” is a good phenomenon for our nation. It is true our government has frustrated many people in the past years. Republicans are angry their elected representatives haven’t created substantial change in abolishing Obamacare, ending Planned Parenthood and increasing our military presence in Syria and Afghanistan. Democrats are angry over the lack of gun control legislation, the continual scare of government shutdowns and the perceived “radical” Republicans in the House. From the outside looking in, our government appears to be a bunch of squabbling, self-interested children who can’t stop fighting and refuse to share. Thus, why should we continue to trust politicians when they can’t seem to do any work? The problem is that electing antipoliticians isn’t going to increase change or decrease dissatisfaction with the government. In fact, it will do the opposite. Carson, Trump, Fiorina and Sanders will try and hide this fact, however, by conveniently using their anti-politician card. Indeed, first they will take advantage of the fact the people are pitted against the government. Once these politicians have distanced themselves from the mess in Washington and become one of us on the “outside,” they can generalize that the whole system, which they are conveniently absent of, is corrupt. After winning our trust and votes, they will then pull a “Prince” stunt, a la Machiavelli, and completely revolutionize the government according to their principles. We can’t get enough of their radical, uncompromising ideologies. For example, Ben Carson famously called Obamacare the “worst thing since slavery.” Fiorina stole the stage at the last debate when she made an impassioned claim against Planned Parenthood, describing the videos released by the Center for Medical

people led by terrorists and to expect anything different of the people themselves is unreasonable. Last month, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas—arguably the most moderate man in the Palestinian leadership—had the following to say: “Al-Aksa Mosque is ours. They [the Jews] have no right to desecrate it with their filthy feet. We won’t allow them to do so and we will do everything in our power to defend Jerusalem. We bless every drop of blood spilled for Jerusalem. This is clean and pure blood, blood that was spilled for God. It is Allah’s will that every martyr will go to heaven and every wounded [terrorist] will receive God’s reward.” In the subsequent weeks, Abbas’s speech was rebroadcasted 19 times on Palestinian television (among many other vile discourses, of course). Meanwhile, just yesterday, only an hour past noon, four terror attacks already took place: Two Palestinian terrorists boarded a bus and began to shoot and stab passengers, killing two and injuring others. A Palestinian terrorist rammed his car into a bus stop and began to attack pedestrians, killing one and injuring others. And finally, by 1 p.m., in two separate attacks, Palestinian terrorists stabbed five Israeli civilians in one of Israel’s safest cities and the one in which I lived in for the first eight years of my life. Both terror attacks occurred just miles away from where I grew up. By 1 p.m., Palestinian terrorists had used knives, cars, guns and a meat cleaver to attack Israeli civilians— and this was not even the worst day of terror that Israel has had to bear witness to this October. Neither was the day that 4-month-old, 4-year-old, 7-year-old and 9-year-old children sitting in the backseat of their car saw both of their parents being gunned down by Palestinian terrorists earlier this month. The sad part is that this wave of terror is no surprise. It is a third intifada that has been waiting to occur by a new generation of indoctrinated fighters. This weekend, an Islamic Imam in Gaza delivered a sermon urging Palestinians to stab the Jews wherever they may find DPU’s Burke & Paine is a biweekly them. “My brother in the West Bank: column that runs on alternate Wednesdays. Stab! My brother is the West Bank: Each column will feature a different writer Stab the myths of the Talmud in their and will cover a different topic related to minds! My brother in the West Bank: political engagement. Trinity freshman Stab the myths about the temple in their hearts!” And so they have done, Qiang Zhang wrote this week’s column. However, what people fail to realize is that the government was created by our Founding Fathers to prevent sudden change. The very nature of our system, with its separation of powers and checks and balances, is the greatest frustration to politicians, who have to learn how to work in the system. Yet while politicians are not the fastest at keeping us happy, they actually have experience in working that system. The greatest and most important difference between anti-politicians and politicians is that while “anti-politicians” have appealing ideas, they have little to no experience actually implementing them. Politicians, on the other hand, have more experience and consequently a greater understanding of how to create actual change in policy. Politicians have learned to navigate as best as they can in this system designed to check powers, and although the people always complain they haven’t navigated swiftly enough, well, who can? Although antipoliticians rely on their anti-politician appeal and radical, sweeping thoughts to win the people’s support, how much experience do they have working in the government? How many of these candidates have actually passed legislation? How many will know how to compromise with Congress to prevent complete gridlock? How many know how to successfully and diplomatically negotiate with foreign countries on dire issues? For Trump, the answer’s simple: “Putin has no respect for America; I will get along with him.” I caution us to watch out for the “anti-politician card,” which can only be played on those who are easily swayed by anger, those who prefer passion to pragmatism. While the rise of these anti-politicians does raise awareness that the government needs reform, supporting one of them is not the solution. Indeed, we should direct our anger toward the government in a way that will not hurt our lives in the future. In order to do so, remember the next time you support a candidate to think not only about the words they speak, but more importantly, their ability to turn those words into actions.

dozens of times in the past few weeks. As per usual, these terrorists went on to be praised as martyrs. On Saturday evening, posters idolizing two terrorists who had stabbed Israelis that day were distributed in the West Bank. One of the flyers praised the 16-year-old who stabbed two senior Israeli citizens in Jerusalem and promised “eternal glory for our shahids [martyrs].” Both flyers were distributed by Abbas’s Fatah and featured both Yasser Arafat and President Abbas. Fatah, by the way, is the “moderates” with whom Israel is supposed to reach a peace deal and

who pays convicted terrorists in Israeli jails millions of dollars in “salaries.” Israel is dealing with an enemy whose mindset is stuck in the 14th century and each new generation is no different than the rest. The Palestinians will not only continue refusing to recognize Israel, but will endure in their jihad to drive the Jews into the sea. As I mentioned at the opening of this column, this is a conflict that is not hard to comprehend. The solution, on the other hand, is a difficult one. In the words of Golda Meir, “Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” After six decades, however, I have certainly lost hope of this vision. Nevertheless, Israel cannot continue to live under attack. Israelis have made far too many concessions to the people that wish to annihilate them. Just take a look at Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip which led to the Palestinian-elected Hamas quickly establishing this land as a Palestinian launch pad for terror. When Israel conceded the Gaza Strip, it was beyond clear that Israel desired to live in peace more than anybody else. Today, Israelis want to live in peace no less. However, we must recognize after six decades that there are no happy solutions, and peace cannot be made with an enemy that will not even recognize Israel’s right to exist as a nation. The sad reality is that Israel is dealing with a barbaric enemy, and Israel must treat it that way. Israel should build as many Jewish settlements as possible and as quickly as possible. No negotiations or talks should be held until Israel’s right to exist is recognized by the Palestinian government. As for terrorists, they may hope that they are murdering and dying in the name of Allah, but these acts should not go unpunished. Their houses should be immediately demolished, and their entire family’s right to remain on Israeli territory should be revoked. To some that have never experienced living in terror and fear, this may seem cruel. But in this conflict, there are no nice solutions. While we cannot control the indoctrination of Palestinian youth, a system of strong incentives might just be the only way to ease this terrorism. Barak Biblin is a Trinity sophomore.
