DSG term begins with resignations, tension

ONE HUNDRED AND TWELFTH YEAR, ISSUE 10

WAKE-UP CALL

Blue Devils fall to Demon Deacons for first time since 2011

Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle Duke Student Government has started the year off with resignations and a "hit on morale." Seniors Annie Adair and John Guarco resigned from their positions as attorney general and DSG justice, respectively, during the summer. Both Adair and Guarco ran against now-President Tara Bansal, a senior, last year. Adair said that her becoming Attorney General was “contentious in the first place," and that there were disagreements between herself and other parts of DSG administration. "I resigned because there was definitely a difference of opinion between me and the administration," she said. "I didn't really think there was a place for me anymore, and so I decided it would be best if I resigned and kind See DSG on Page 12

Brian Mazur The Chronicle After a 17-play opening drive resulted in a touchdown and Duke forced its second three-and-out, the Blue Devils looked like they were in control in their ACC opener. But the consistency head coach David Cutcliffe wanted to see from his team was nowhere to be found. A number of costly mistakes plagued Duke in a 24-14 loss to Wake Forest at Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday afternoon. The Blue Devils turned the ball over three times, missed two field goals and gave up five sacks in their first loss of the season. "We played hard on offense, we played hard on defense, we played

hard in the kicking game," Cutcliffe said. "What we didn’t do was play well. That is 1,000 percent on me. When you’re not playing well, it’s an execution issue." Led by running back Cade Carney, The Demon Deacons took advantage of Duke's miscue. The freshman gashed Duke for 108 yards on the ground and three touchdowns—including a 55-yard run late in the third quarter to break a 14-14 tie. Carney became the first true freshman to score three touchdowns in an FBS game since Purdue’s Chris Barclay in 2002, and was a key part of a Wake Forest offense that struggled early but wore the Blue Devils (1-1, 0-1 in the ACC) down in the second half. The Demon Deacons finished with 239 rushing yards compared to the Blue Devils' 37. Wake Forest (2-0, 1-0) interchanged

quarterbacks John Wolford and Kendall Hinton in the first half, but stuck with the mobile Hinton when Duke struggled to corral the Durham native. Hinton rushed for 63 yards and threw for another 133, including a 62-yard pass to Alex Bachman that sealed the 24-14 win. For the Blue Devils, without the consistent rushing attack that was present in last week's win against N.C. Central, the pressure fell on redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Jones to generate offense for his team. And although Jones threw for 332 yards and rushed for two touchdowns, he committed a trio of turnovers— including two fumbles—that stalled the offense. See FOOTBALL on Page 9

House Bill 2 and Durham: How will the economy fare? Rachel Sereix The Chronicle North Carolina’s controversial House Bill 2 has Durham County's business scene concerned for the future. The act has had consequences for Duke. In July, the field hockey and men's basketball programs faced schedule changes after Albany refused to play the teams because of an executive order by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo banning non-essential travel to North Carolina. HB2 has also led performers such as Maroon 5 to cancel their events and in general has led to businesses leaving the state. Looking at Durham specifically, the financial impact of HB2 has remained hard to quantify. There is limited data from which to draw direct correlations between the legislation and patronage of local businesses, said John White, vice president of public policy at the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce. Restauranteurs and local hoteliers, however, have begun to express their frustration with the bill. Shawn Stokes MIDP ‘11, chef and owner of Luna Rotisserie and Empanadas on Main Street, publicly denounced the act on a sign outside the restaurant. “We’ve only heard responses to the message we posted on social media and our sandwich board, during the weeks immediately after the law was passed,” Stokes wrote in an email. “99 percent of feedback was supportive, including face to face expressions of gratitude for speaking out against the law, as well as several tweets and Facebook posts on the topic.” Some of Durham’s liberal tendencies can be attributed to Duke but also to rapidly growing industries including technology,

international development and biological engineering, Stokes wrote. In 2012, 75 percent of the Durham County vote went to President Barack Obama. Vaguely Reminiscent, a boutique located on Ninth Street near East Campus, similarly chose to put a sign outside its business in protest of the legislation. “Everyone here feels pretty strongly about it,” said Karen Merowcheck, a store employee, in a prior Chronicle article. “It wasn’t like an official movement. I think people are taking it upon themselves to print and hang their own signs.” Stokes added that it is important for people to remember HB2 is a civil rights issue and not necessarily an economic one. "Voting with

their dollars" is only effective if it leads to a repeal of the law, he argued. “The effects on HB2 on businesses have already been demonstrated," Stokes wrote. “Every future concert, convention, game that chooses to boycott North Carolina, just adds to the already hundreds of thousands of visitors who have already gone to other states.” However, Charles Becker—a research professor of economics—wrote in an email that the financial impact to date in Durham has been minimal. Some investments have been deterred, but the impact will not be felt immediately, he explained. The Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce has publicly denounced the act

and is already taking steps to help minimize the financial impact of HB2, White said. While data on the impact on Durham is not available, White said businesses have expressed concerns about lost customers. "We have heard from a number of businesses," he said. "We have heard from hoteliers who have specifically said that they have had conferences that were lined up to come to Durham that have decided to take their business elsewhere. We have directly been involved with trying to recruit companies that said they are no longer coming.” White noted that prior to the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce taking a position, members were polled and feedback was analyzed. Some members supported the legislation but an overwhelming majority voiced dissent, he explained. Even seemingly disparate economic actions have major consequences as part of a “domino effect” that has been created by the law, he said. In Durham County, visitors staying in hotel rooms must pay a bed tax. With some people being discouraged to visit Durham, fewer rooms are in use and therefore less taxes are paid to the count. This reduces the potential for economic development, White explained. A local hotel—21c Museum Hotel—has also taken a public stance against HB2, an action the hotel said has actually helped business. His hotel recently installed new restroom signs with works of art numbered and signed by local artist Peregrine Honig. The sign features a split figure half a woman in a dress and half a man, with the caption "we don't care" underneath. "Actually, we have guests staying with us because of our position on HB2," said Scott Griffith, the hotel's general manager.

Nasher panelists tell sparse Academic advising seeks student crowd to fight apathy to connect students, faculty Jenny Jiao The Chronicle Panelists emphasized the importance of empathy in solving racial issues within the criminal justice system, but also noted the lack of student attendance. The Race, Justice and Empathy panel— held in the Nasher Museum of Art Friday— focused on attorney Bryan Stevenson's novel "Just Mercy," which explores the issues of racial injustice in the legal system and on death row. The memoir was also this year's summer reading book for freshmen, and Stevenson came to campus to talk to students during Orientation Week. Professors from several different fields contributed to the discussion, including faculty from the Law School, the Divinity School and

the Sanford School of Public Policy. Although the panelists initially discussed the impact of music and paintings on how past injustices are perceived, the discussion quickly shifted toward more legal and political concerns. Instead of debating specific racial issues, the panelists focused on society's collective need to empathize and to care about people who are oppressed and disadvantaged. The biggest problem concerning racial injustice is not any one specific issue such as mass incarceration or police brutality, said James Coleman, John S. Bradway professor of the practice of law and the co-director of the Wrongful Convictions Clinic. Rather, apathy is a more ubiquitous and less visible threat, he said. “One of the things we run into is indifference on the parts of everybody in the criminal justice system," he explained. "Not just the police or prosecutors or judges, sometimes even defense lawyers as well, and I’ve felt that that’s the biggest problem with the criminal justice system. Many of the people who are responsible for the rights of the dependent are indifferent to their situations—to even sometimes whether they’re innocent or not.” Other panelists echoed Coleman's sentiment in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement. People ought to act upon their beliefs instead of simply holding them as true, said Charles Thompson, a professor of the practice of cultural anthropology. He noted that some people often fail to practice what they preach. See APATHY on Page 12

Heather Zhou The Chronicle Recent changes in the student advising system hope to make the advising process more fulfilling for both students and advisors. Starting this year, students will have the choice to keep a formal connection with their "college advisors," previously called pre-major advisors, who are assigned to students when they first come to Duke. After declaring their major as sophomores, students are also given a major advisor. “The goal of advising is often thought, first in transitional terms, such as approval of a schedule and drop and add courses, but what we have been trying to do over the last few years is to move advising to be not as transactional but more of a mentorship,” said Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education. David Rabiner, director of the Academic Advising Center and associate dean of Trinity College, explained that the change of the title from “pre-major advisors” to “college advisors” reflects the broader role that advisors can play in students’ college lives. “‘Pre-major’ tends to imply that once you have declared the major, you have ended the connection with this previous advisor," Rabiner said. "The 'college advisor' title reflects the goal that students will retain a connection with their advisor over four years, even after they declare and have an advisor in their major assigned.” He also noted that in the past, after the students declare their majors, pre-major advisors no longer have access to students’

Losing this information, he said, could be confusing if a student decides go back to their advisor to ask for a recommendation letter later in their academic career. Now, students will be able to choose to retain relationship with their college advisor when they complete an advising survey as part of the major declaration process.

Former Duke colleagues say Deborah Ross 'prepared' for Senate Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle Duke law professors lauded their former colleague Deborah Ross, a North Carolina candidate for U.S. Senate, as “thoughtful’, “professional” and “prepared." Ross—the Democratic candidate against Republican incumbent Richard Burr—previously served as a state House legislator for 10 years before deciding to run for Senate. Her campaign has focused on economic security and increasing ethics and accountability in Washington. “She’s the kind of person that people should be able to work with,” professor of law Paul Haagen said. “She just always struck you as the person that Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons was well prepared, straightforward. There wasn’t any Ross worked at the Duke Law School as a senior lecturing deviousness about her... I would suspect she’s the kind of person who would be unusually good at finding fellow from 2002 to 2012.

tactical common ground, that she would come into situations really well informed.” Ross worked at the Law School from 2002 to 2012 as a senior lecturing fellow and taught the course “U.S. Legal Analysis, Research and Writing for International Students." Previously, Ross worked as the director of the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina. While teaching at Duke, she also started her career in the North Carolina House of Representatives, serving from 2002 to 2013. In addition, she worked as a legal counsel at GoTriangle, the Research Triangle's transit department, but stepped down for the Senate race. She has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood, the North Carolina Association of Educators and the North Carolina chapter of the AFL-CIO, a labor organization. According to Project Vote Smart, a website compiling politicians' votes and policy stances, some of her stances include protecting Medicare and Social Security, gun control and environmental conservation. She has also expressed support for Affordable Care Act—popularly known as ObamaCare—state exchanges to be allowed to provide abortion services. Jennifer Maher, associate dean for international studies at the Law School, hired Ross, along with other professors, to teach legal analysis to international students. “Deborah was an excellent member of the team,” Maher wrote in an email. “She is very smart, very organized and a very good communicator. She can get more done in less time than anyone I've ever met. She is decisive and comfortable in a leadership position, yet she also listens and was very much liked by students.” According to the RealClearPolitics poll average, Ross is behind Burr by 3.3 points. Donald Beskind, professor of the practice of law, also praised Ross. He noted that he knew Ross when she worked at the ACLU of North Carolina and continuously since then. He and his wife have been political supporters of Ross by hosting fundraisers in their home for Ross, he said. “I would say the strongest characteristics are she is incredibly smart and incredibly energetic and is remarkably good at forging collaborative alliances to accomplish things,” Beskind said. Rima Idzelis and Phyllis Lile-King, both senior lecturing fellows at the Law School who worked with Ross as part of the team that taught legal writing to international students, noted Ross's intelligence. “That Deborah taught legal writing and analysis here at Duke sets her apart from others who perhaps are not as skilled in their communication and writing,” Lile-King wrote in an email. “As a legislator, who is tasked with making and writing the law, these skills are essential and will serve her well, if she is elected.” Lile-King added that Ross would bring “sensitivity, preparedness and thoughtfulness” to the Senate and that she is an “outsanding legal communicator” with the ability to draft clear laws. Ross's dedication to assisting students will transfer into her work as senator, if chosen, Idezelis noted. “I think she will bring with her to the Senate, if elected, the same enthusiasm for making a difference in people's lives and commitment to helping others,” Idzelis wrote.

‘WE HAVE TO RUN THE BALL’

Wake Forest exposes Duke’s offensive line in 24-14 upset Saturday afternoon Hank Tucker The Chronicle In its first real test without All-ACC performers Matt Skura and Lucas Patrick Saturday afternoon, Duke’s new-look offensive line started slowly and never found its footing. A week after outmuscling an overmatched N.C. Central defense for 308 rushing yards, the Blue Devils rushed for just 37 yards on 30 carries in a disappointing 24-14 loss to Wake Forest. Running backs Jela Duncan and Shaun Wilson had no room to run in the backfield and did not get many chances when Duke was playing from behind in the second half. The Demon Deacons sacked redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Jones five times. The Blue Devils’ offensive line is still developing chemistry with redshirt freshman Zach Baker starting at left guard and new starting center Austin Davis joining three returning starters— Casey Blaser, Tanner Stone and Gabe Brandner. With two consecutive road games on Duke’s schedule, that development will likely need to accelerate for the Blue Devils to keep their bowl hopes alive. “There were times when it doesn’t make any sense why we don’t even get a hand on a guy,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “They’re a pretty good pass-rushing team but not the best we’re going to face, so we better learn quickly from it.” The Blue Devils tried to establish the run early and often to take pressure off their young quarterback, just as they did last week when Duncan broke free for a 50-yard touchdown run on the second play from scrimmage. This time, Duncan again picked up a first down on Duke’s second play with a 13-yard run— but Saturday that was the high point for the Blue Devils’ running game. Wake Forest’s defensive front overpowered Duke’s offensive line and nearly kept the Blue Devils off the scoreboard after Duke had first-and-

Senior line of scrimmage continued for the rest linebacker Marquel Lee led the team with 10 tackles and redshirt junior defensive of the game. Wake Forest crowded the box lineman Duke Ejiofor sacked Jones three throughout the contest, daring Jones times and forced both of the Blue Devils’ to throw the ball and forcing Cutcliffe fumbles in the backfield. The first fumble came when he batted and offensive coordinator Zac Roper to abandon the rushing attack in the second down a backwards pass in the first quarter with Duke threatening in Demon Deacon territory already up 7-0. “He kind of surprised me, to be honest,” Jones said. “I need to see that and be smart about that, so that’s on me.” The second fumble gave Wake Forest the ball in the red zone when Ejiofor sacked Jones on the second play of the second half. The Demon Deacons capitalized on the short field to take a 14-7 lead. “We shot ourselves in the foot the whole game,” redshirt senior wide receiver Anthony Nash said. Although Jones had two runs of at least 10 yards and ran for both of the Blue Devils’ touchdowns, he ended up with just six yards on 19 carries due to the sacks, several failed read options and unsuccessful scrambles. The end result was Jones dropping back to pass on virtually every play Alexandra Davis | The Chronicle The Wake Forest defensive line had its way up front, forcing the Blue Devils to be one- of the second half, making Duke’s offense predictable.

The Blue Devils play their first road game next Saturday against another strong defensive team in Northwestern, and the offensive line will need to improve for Duke to have a chance in what now seems like a must-win game before a Sept. 24 matchup at No. 18 Notre Dame. Last season, the Wildcats controlled the line of scrimmage en route to a 19-10 road win in Durham. “We have to run the ball. That’s football. If you don’t establish the run, it’s a lot easier for them to play the pass,” Nash said. “We have to work on that in practice and I feel like we’re going to be fine. It’s one hiccup.”

FIELD HOCKEY

Morris explodes for 4 goals in Sunday romp Sameer Pandhare The Chronicle After battling for a hard-fought 3-2 win against No. 11 Virginia Friday to preserve its perfect record, No. 2 Duke hoped to avoid a slow start Sunday. Luckily, the Blue Devils had Heather Morris. The senior forward turned in a performance to remember with a careerhigh four goals—all coming in the first half—in the Blue Devils’ 7-1 blowout victory against James Madison at Jack Katz Stadium. With 2 the win, Duke tied UVA DUKE 3 the 1978 and 2014 squads for the best 1 starts in program JMU DUKE 7 history. “I’ve never had four goals in a game, let alone four goals in a half, so that’s pretty special,” Morris said. “I really couldn’t have done it without my teammates. They gave me some great passes and set me up for success so I just was the lucky one to finish them.” The Blue Devils (6-0) came out aggressive and kept the James Madison defense on its heels during the first 35 minutes. Duke finished with a 22-7 advantage in shots and only needed a single save from sophomore goalkeeper Sammi Steele in the victory. The Blue Devils also put their impressive depth on display, rotating players frequently to combat the sweltering heat and getting every member on their active roster into the game.

Carolyn Chang | The Chronicle Heather Morris scored a career-high four goals in the first half Sunday as Duke matched the best start in program history by improving to 6-0.

Duke got off to a quick start, taking advantage of its first penalty corner to get on the board when junior Ashley Kristen got her stick on a drag from Alyssa Chillano near the front of the net. The Blue Devils continued to execute in a clinical fashion with sharp passes around the field generating good looks for multiple options. With Duke already up 1-0, sophomore Christy Palazzese made a run up the right

side of the field and found sophomore Rose Tynan at the back post for a tap-in to put the Blue Devils up two goals just nearly 14 minutes into the game. “Our challenge was to come out with the same kind of energy and same kind of focus that we had on Friday night, and they did. Because we did, we were able to capitalize and play well at times and maybe at times make it look easy,” Duke head coach Pam Bustin said. “But I wouldn’t say

that was a particularly easy game.” Morris made it look easy, putting the game away early with a scintillating 15-minute stretch to close out the first half. The Pottsville, Pa., native tallied her first goal of the afternoon in the 16th minute when she finished a reverse breakaway shot on an assist from Caroline Andretta. After the Dukes (3-2) put one past Steele to cut the lead to 3-1, Morris struck for a pair of goals in quick succession, first beating goalkeeper Sara Kraeutler on a feed from Erin Scherrer before finding the back of the net just a minute later on a penalty stroke. “Heather’s prepared for this and the team around her understands that we try to play to each other’s strengths,” Bustin said. “If we can get her the ball in the right place and she can work to be open, then that’s going to be hopefully what happens and she enjoys it. She enjoys the game when she scores.” Just for good measure, Morris capped her offensive explosion with a top shelf backhand goal to put the Blue Devils ahead 6-1 at the half. Senior Robin Blazing connected on her first goal of the season in the 58th minute to cap off a strong allaround performance for Duke. “We have a really strong attack in general, through all the lines from defense up, midfield to forwards,” Morris said. “We work as a team and we play really well together as a team, so our teammate and unity gets teams down and we just end up crushing them.” See FIELD HOCKEY on Page 9

Duke routs High Point following Friday setback Ian Handler The Chronicle Needing to bounce back from a 3-1 setback against No. 4 West Virginia Friday, the Blue Devils hoped to start fast in their final nonconference game Sunday evening. Duke struggled in the first 25 minutes, but senior Toni Payne finally broke through to open things up for the Blue Devil offense. 3 WVU Payne scored in DUKE 1 the 28th minute and added an 1 assist later in the HP DUKE 4 game in No. 6 Duke’s 4-1 rout of High Point at Koskinen Stadium. Four different Blue Devils scored, with Duke dominating the action and outshooting the Panthers 27-5. “We realized that teams are going to scout us and how we like to play, so changing it up and maybe our attacking mids going out wide and trying to do more stuff like that is going to help us,” Payne said. “Varying the way we play is going to help us going forward.” Before the Blue Devils’ first goal, Duke was unable to convert on a few chances, with freshman Ella Stevens sending a shot off the crossbar in the 11th minute that

would have given her team the desired fast start. The Blue Devils (5-2-1) broke through almost 15 minutes later when goalkeeper E.J. Proctor sent a long pass up the right side of the field that found Payne in stride. The Birmingham, Ala., native beat Panther goalkeeper Alex Hank for her third goal of the season, tied for most on the team, to give Proctor the first assist of her career. High Point (3-4-1) did not roll over after allowing the first goal though, evening the score just five minutes later. The Panther goal came off a corner kick that was headed by forward Bri JeanCharles toward the far side of the goal and looked like it may have deflected off of Blue Devil defender Mia Gyau’s leg. “We didn’t do a great job of communicating. You saw with the goal, that was communication,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “We didn’t win the first ball, we didn’t communicate on the second ball…. It’s still not a perfect product.” Church’s team responded to the equalizer quickly when sophomore Chelsea Burns dribbled down the left side of the field before feeding classmate Kayla McCoy, who notched her first goal of the season when she slipped by her defender and beat Hank with her left foot.

Harsh Sanghi | The Chronicle Senior Toni Payne had a goal and an assist Sunday evening as the Blue Devils wrapped up nonconference play.

McCoy has struggled to find the back of the net so far in her sophomore campaign, and so has classmate Taylor Racioppi. Last year’s leader in total points, Racioppi had one goal entering Sunday’s game but added her second tally with a nine-yard shot to the top left corner of the net seven minutes into the second half.

Freshman Olivia Erlbeck—who had six shots Sunday—earned the assist. Defender Christina Gibbons put the game out of reach in the 76th minute on a goal set up by Payne and junior Imani Dorsey. The senior co-captain’s first goal See W. SOCCER on Page 9

Deflected shot sends No. 25 BC past Blue Devils Andrew Donohue The Chronicle Following their biggest win of the year against then-No. 9 UCLA, the Blue Devils looked to carry the momentum into their ACC opener. But a few missed chances early in the game and an unfortunate deflection prevented Duke from notching its second straight road upset. No. 25 Boston College upended the Blue Devils 1-0 Saturday evening at Newton Campus Field in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The Eagles controlled DUKE 0 the pace for much 1 of the contest, BC outshooting the Blue Devils 12-10 and holding a 12-7 edge in corner kicks to preserve a 1-0 lead after a goal in the 51st minute. “It wasn’t the night we wanted, we weren’t as sharp as we normally have been so far this season,” Duke head coach John Kerr told GoDuke.com. “We just took one on the chin and we have to move forward.” Boston College’s goal came after a backand-forth first half when sophomore forward Simon Enstrom struck a shot from distance that deflected off a Blue Devil defender, wrong-footing goalkeeper Robert Moewes and finding its way into the net. “They scored a really good goal off the counter attack. They are really good off the counter attack,” Kerr said. “The ball was deflected and went past Robert, so very

unfortunate for us.” Also unfortunate was the Blue Devils’ inability to capitalize on a few scoring opportunities at the beginning and end of Saturday’s game. The teams’ ACC opener started quickly, with Duke (2-1-1, 0-1 in the ACC) creating the first scoring chance of the game when junior midfielder Brian White had a header tipped onto the crossbar by Boston College goalkeeper Cedric Saladin in the fourth minute. White scored the game-winner in the 1-0 win against UCLA in the 88th minute and nearly put his team ahead right away Saturday evening. “We had an early chance with Brian White early in the first half,” Kerr said. “The goalkeeper made a great save and it went off the crossbar, so that would have [given] us a bit more belief and a bit more confidence.” After the first 10 minutes, the Eagles (4-1, 1-0) settled down and began to take control of the game. They probed the Blue Devil defense for the remaining part of the half, forcing Moewes to make several key saves to keep Duke in the game. The graduate transfer finished with three saves, and was tested again when Boston College tried to add an insurance goal. They nearly landed the knockout blow several times—the closest call coming with a shot off the post late in the second half—but the Blue Devil defense held firm to give the team a chance. Duke has surrendered just three goals in four contests. Energized by the defensive stops, the Blue Devils sent several players forward

in search of an equalizer. Duke generated several corner kicks and created a realistic scoring opportunity for junior Cameron Moseley in the game’s final moments. But the midfielder could not beat Saladin to send the game into overtime. “We were pressing down to the very end,” Kerr said. “We created some really good looks at the goal and we could not convert. The goalkeeper made some big saves for them down the stretch. It was not meant to be.” The ACC schedule does not grant Kerr’s team any favors, as Duke will face another

ranked team in No. 21 Wake Forest Friday evening in its next game. However, Friday’s game is at the friendly confines of Koskinen Stadium and kicks off a four-game home stretch that the Blue Devils hope can propel them to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011. Duke has not played a home game since Aug. 28. “It’s going to be good to get back home,” Kerr said. “Looking forward to the challenge in Wake Forest, who is a very, very talented team and we’re going to get ourselves ready.”

The Blue Devils swept Harvard (25-18, 25-16, 25-19) Friday afternoon in DUKE 3 Long Beach, Calif., HARV 0 before falling to Long Beach State DUKE 2 in a five-set battle LBSU 3 late Friday night (20-25, 25-15, 11DUKE 0 25, 25-23, 15-8). On 3 Saturday, Duke took LMU on No. 25 Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles and struggled to build momentum, losing in straight sets (25-21, 26-24, 25-18). “I am really proud of how we competed and just know that we had moments that things were really good, moments that were brilliant,” Blue Devil head coach Jolene Nagel said. “But at critical times, we had someone make some errors, and if we can find a way through that then I am very optimistic of this team’s success.” Facing the Crimson for the first time in program history, the Blue Devils (4-4) came out hot, winning 12 of the first 17

points en route to a first set win. Duke sustained its strong play—something it was not able to do in losses against then-No. 12 North Carolina and TCU— holding the Crimson to a .056 hitting percentage and collecting 52 digs. Senior Jordan Tucker led the way with 10 kills, with sophomores Jessi Bartholomew and Leah Meyer adding nine apiece to easily dispatch Harvard (1-5). Nagel’s team sought revenge against Long Beach State after losing in five sets

last season, but once again the Blue Devils could not push through the finish line. After blowing a two-set lead at home against TCU, Duke struggled again after taking a 2-1 lead against the 49ers (5-4) following a 25-11 victory in the third set. Led by freshman outside hitter Jamie Stivers, who had a career-high 17 kills to go along with 12 digs, the Blue Devils took a 21-19 lead in the fourth frame to inch closer to victory. But Duke could not finish the job, dropping six of the next eight points and

never finding its rhythm in the final set. Although Meyer had 14 kills Friday night, she and her teammates often struggled against Long Beach State’s blockers, who combined for 20.5 blocks in the contest. Eleven of those came from 49er freshman middle blocker YiZhi Xue. “When a team is that big, you definitely have to be able to work with all kinds of different balls,” Nagel said. “I was pleased with how we competed but not pleased with the way we couldn’t finish to get that match.” Despite keeping the first two sets close against Loyola Marymount, the Blue Devils dropped both frames late and allowed the Lions (6-3) to go on a 10-5 run in the third set. Loyola Marymount hit .343 for the match and had half as many attack errors as Duke. “The numbers are close except we had a lot more killing errors than they did so that’s where they got their points, on our killing errors,” Nagel said. Following a busy weekend on the road, Duke will return home for a pair of contests against Campbell and UNC-Wilmington to finish nonconference play. “We are right there and hopefully we can get better [after] the results of this weekend,” Nagel said. “We easily could have gone and played someone easy, but I don’t think we would have learned nearly enough about ourselves.”

Both fumbles were caused by Wake Forest defensive end Duke Ejiofor, who finished with four tackles for loss, including three sacks. The Duke offensive line struggled all afternoon, with running backs Jela Duncan and Shaun Wilson combining for 31 yards on 11 carries. “We’re going to have to look at what we are doing and why we are doing things,” Cutcliffe said. “Some of our best players are in the backfield and we have to put them to work.” When the Blue Devils did drive deep into Wake Forest territory, they could not convert key opportunities due to a pair of miscues from freshman kicker A.J. Reed—who pushed field goal tries of 30 and 43 to the right of the post—and a few offensive errors. A Jones fumble in the first quarter prevented Duke from building on an early 7-0 advantage, and in total the Blue Devils finished the first half with five possessions in Demon Deacon territory and only seven points. Jones did not put all the blame on the team’s kicker, and instead insisted that his offense has to execute more efficiently to score touchdowns instead of settling for field goals. Duke will hope to improve on that side of the ball before hitting the road for its next two games at Northwestern and No. 18 Notre Dame. “We have to make plays at the biggest points of the game,” Jones said. “We can’t do all that to get down there and not make a play, or put ourselves in a tough situation.”

Although their offense was clicking on all cylinders, the Blue Devils’ defensive effort in the heat also impressed Bustin and created more counterattacking opportunities. “We wanted to keep our defense structure very disciplined from the top, the forward line all the way to the goalkeeper,” Bustin said. “They did a great job of that and because of that we were able to create some great scoring opportunities.” Although Friday’s Virginia game capped off a four-game stretch against top-20 opponents, Duke’s road will not get any easier. The Blue Devils will hit the road for three straight games—including a pair of conference games against No. 8 Louisville and No. 3 North Carolina— before returning home to face Boston College Sept. 30.

W. SOCCER from page 7 of the season came after a cross into the box set up a finish from close range. Church was happy with his team’s second-half response, but noted that the Blue Devils still have work to do entering ACC play after he questioned the team’s competitive spirit following Friday’s loss. Duke will take a few days off before hosting Boston College Saturday evening. “It was better, we just had that lapse for a lot of the first half. We can’t have that on Saturday night,” Church said. “We have to play 90 minutes in the ACC. If you don’t, you really get burned.”

Join the editorial board

edicated readers of The Chronicle may have noticed by now that along with the handful of alternating biweekly columns, random letters-to-the-editor and aleatory published community comments that make up the newspaper’s opinion section, there is one stalwart piece of writing that appears every day—a 520-580-word column penned by an author who goes by the odd name of “Editorial Board.” What and who are we? The editorial board is a group of about fifteen students who debate, opine upon and write about a wealth of topics—including Duke’s incoming curriculum revisions, the response to Duke Executive Vice President Tallman Trask’s hit-and-run and conversations surrounding Antonin Scalia’s death—relevant (sometimes tangentially) to Duke students. We come from different places, different cultures and different ideologies. On the board, you’ll find an advocate for socialism and a freshwater Friedman capitalist; a fourthyear M.D./Ph. D. student and an undeclared sophomore; a student from Harare, Zimbabwe and a native of North Carolina. Twice a week,

we meet to debate upon salient topics. In each meeting, our voices mix and mingle as unique perspectives, coaxing out hidden insights that can only be revealed through multifaceted debate; as our debate wraps up into resolution, we seek to capture it in words publicizing trends, criticizing institutions and suggesting solutions in daily pieces. Our editorials seek to inform, persuade and change. Today, we invite you to join us.

Editorial You might ask yourself, “Am I right for the board? Whom exactly are they looking for?” To answer your thoughts, we are looking to attract students who value clearheaded debate and transparent arguments; students who see flaws in their environment and believe that they ought to be a part of the effort to remedy them; students who are curious about the shrouded operations of the university they attend; students who are eager to learn, write and share; students who are just as happy to

It would probably be worthwhile to require some of the faculty (e.g. the majority of the gang-of-88) to take a remedial class in logical inference as well.” — “Ayn Ulum,” responding to “Emphasizing mathematics in the liberal arts,” published September 9, 2016

Most of all, we hope to attract students who seek to be voices of reason on campus— students who wish to elevate their voices above the fray and hubbub of Twitter and Yik Yak in order to deliver well-developed opinions to the denizens of Duke. The ideal candidate for the editorial board should respect the power of words and have a desire to use them in order to affect campus-wide change. Students on the board will have an unrivaled opportunity to influence their peers, professors and administrators. They will learn how to craft strong arguments, analyze news trends and help to broadcast opinions to the thousands of daily readers of The Chronicle. They will find that editorial writing is not easy, but that it is rewarding and powerful. The time for citizens of Duke to leave their mark on the university is now.

Blue Zone blues

RIGGER WARNING: This article contains detailed descriptions of semi-long walks and allusions to the possibility of carpooling to class. One look at the miracle that is West Union and the greenish grass that surrounds it would reveal that this semester is already off to a smashing start. Truthfully, it has begun to appear that poke bowls and gelato were all this campus needed to achieve the blissful solidarity that can only be found in High School Musical 1 and 3. However, all that glitters is probably just the two-dozen monogram pendant necklaces you passed between the Chapel and Perkins. Just as we begin to recover from the cancellation of Heatwave, otherwise known as LDOC’s younger,

Other students have expressed concern that so few parking options will pose a big liability. Hugh Jass, a senior who claims that his access to Blue Zone is critical during “bulking season” calls the current state of campus parking “beat, yo.” Earlier this week he reported, “I made a bet with my dad that I could take his old Audi if I got an offer at a mid-tier consulting firm. Well I won the bet, but now I have to worry about my car getting scratched every time I go to Wilson since it’s so packed in there. I’m just like, ‘Messed-up car or gains?’ And I’m obviously going to choose gains.” Still more unamused undergrads are aggravated that they had to pay such a lofty price for access to the overcrowded and inconvenient lot. In

Monday Monday MONDAY MONDAY less-accomplished sibling, and continue to mourn the loss of our constitutional right to use food points at the WA, all hell seems to have broken loose once again. For the past two weeks, an inordinate number of students hailing from Central to Solis have had to make the treacherous trek past not one, not two, but three parking lots in the notorious Blue Zone just to find a single parking spot before class. Four freshmen, who have yet to drive cars on campus, recently reported that they would “nine out of ten not recommend the Blue Zone.” Needless to say, the implications of this unforeseen blemish on an otherwise picture perfect start to the school year have already been felt across campus. Eight of the ten potential psychology majors who were interviewed this week upon leaving the Social Sci or Social Psych building—the distinction between the two is still widely unknown—are almost certain that mental health issues, and thus the number of people that pretend not to use CAPS, will see a sharp increase as a result of the parking debacle. Barb E. Dahl, a sophomore and formerpotential psychology major herself, agrees with her peers. “I was super quick to choose Central over West housing because my sorority sister says it’s possible that I could have a gluten sensitivity on certain days of the week but not the weekends, so I really needed my own kitchen. But with the Blue Zone being all sucky I feel like I’m being punished because I might have a food allergy,” she managed through angry tears. “Why should I have to wake up 15 minutes earlier because of my bloating?”

response to inquiries about the financial burden that a Blue Zone pass has put on him, junior Jack Hoff said, “The thing cost me nearly $400. Do you know how many umbrella cocktails I could have bought in Cancún with $400?” Assuming that Hoff’s vacation package is not all-inclusive and that the average umbrella cocktail goes for about $13, it’s estimated that he could have purchased approximately 30 umbrella cocktails had he not opted for a Blue Zone pass. If the problem persists, it’s entirely possible that students may be faced with a bleak alternative: opting for one of the nearly ten Duke bus routes that shuttle passengers both on and off campus. Top pre-med experts suggest that this hardship, which involves placing one’s backpack atop their lap and exchanging pleasantries with peers, could be the impetus for a lifetime of PTSD amongst maladapted students. Though these leads remain unconfirmed, top sources have revealed that campus activists plan to combat what some are calling the greatest injustice since last year’s Central Campus bus routes with a Blue Zone “parkin.” There’s still no word as to whether the park-in would excuse both protesters and their fair weather fans from class. When asked about the issue and his thoughts on the parkin, President Brodhead responded, “Lol, retirement can’t come soon enough.” This millennial would like to remind you that there will be no etching of responses into the side of my car as I do not have one.

The Trump test

uess which famous Republican said the following about a demagogue hijacking the Republican Party: “The nation sorely needs a Republican victory. But I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear. . .While it might be a fleeting victory for the Republican Party, it would be a more lasting defeat for the American people. Surely it would ultimately be suicide for the Republican Party [as well].” Was it Mitt Romney? Ben Sasse? Olympia Snowe? Duke’s very own Peter Feaver? Try Margaret Chase Smith. She was a

prominence. Demagogues have an intuitive sense of public opinion; they sniff out fears that ordinary politicians have failed to notice. They don’t imitate the poll-tested rhetoric of the professional political class; instead, demagogues push the boundaries of what is acceptable. They define an internal enemy: Jews, for Coughlin; the rich, for Long; Communist sympathizers, for McCarthy; civil rights activists, for Wallace. Demagogues are much more likely than ordinary politicians to justify violence. While they can address legitimate fears—such as the worry that the New Deal wasn’t working or that Communists spies had infiltrated the government—the solutions demagogues

propose are never constructive. Demagogues don’t promise meaningful reforms they can achieve by working with Congress or the states; instead, they speak of sweeping changes only they can deliver. It is now time to state the obvious: Donald Trump is a demagogue. Like Long, Trump has sensed the anxieties of a working class still hurting in the wake of a major economic crisis. Like Coughlin, Trump is a master of the media—Twitter and television are to Trump what radio was for the anti-Semitic priest from Michigan. Like McCarthy, Trump has targeted an enemy within—American Muslims—whose questionable loyalty, Trump alleges, poses a threat to national security. Like Wallace, Trump caters to the emotions of white supremacists and winks approvingly at the violence they might unleash. In his address to the Republican Convention this summer, Trump echoed the argument demagogues have made throughout American history: with regard to a broken system, “I alone can fix it.” It is an argument totally incompatible with limited government. This summer, we all witnessed a watershed moment in American history. A demagogue secured what McCarthy, Long, and Wallace all dreamt of, but never grasped: a major party’s nomination for the presidency. What are patriotic Republicans to do as our party bows before a demagogue? History offers only one response: free ourselves. Fellow Republicans, today we face the Trump test, and we must answer it as convincingly as Margaret Chase Smith answered the challenge McCarthy posed back in her day. We need a Declaration of Conscience for 2016. I submit the following as a rough draft: If Donald Trump is elected President, on January 20, 2017 he will place his left hand on a Bible he has never read and raise his right hand for a Constitution he has dishonored at every step of his campaign. He will swear to preserve, protect and defend a document expressly designed to prevent men like him from ever gaining power. We are Americans first and Republicans second; love of country trumps loyalty to party. And while our party may have surrendered to a demagogue, we will not. Today, we raise our voices against Trump. On Election Day, we will vote against him. We know our own power and the gravity of the choice before us: Deny Trump the presidency and make him a footnote in history, or give Trump the presidency and let him write history. Let us make history instead. Matthew King is a Trinity junior. His column, “at the water’s edge” runs on alternate Mondays.

Rule of three

he ongoing strategic, economic and militaristic partnership between the United States, Japan and South Korea remains underappreciated, despite its powerful and changing role. With elevated tensions in the region as President Barack Obama vowed to enact new sanctions against North Korea in light of their recent nuclear warhead tests within Japan’s air defense identification zone, an allegiance between the three nations could pave the way for a new world order. Already, the U.S. has been building a missile defense system in South Korea; the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense

Matthew King trailblazing Republican senator from Maine who in 1964 became the first woman ever to earn votes toward the presidential nomination at a major party convention. But Smith is best known for the stirring words quoted above, a selection from her 1950 Declaration of Conscience speech. Then, as now, an enterprising demagogue had captured the nation’s attention. Senator Joseph McCarthy was on the ascent after his February 9, 1950 remarks to the Republican Women’s Club of Wheeling, West Virginia, in which he famously railed against “enemies from within,” and brandished a list of 205 State Department employees he alleged to have Communist loyalties. Instantly a little-known and unimpressive junior senator from Wisconsin was the talk of Washington. Many feared him, some loathed him, but no Republican was brave enough to stand against him—until three months into McCarthy’s meteoric rise, Margaret Chase Smith rose to speak on the Senate floor. Republicans, Smith argued, could either plunge with McCarthy into the abyss of antiCommunist witch-hunting and abandon American values along the way—or they could stand with the Constitution, and defend the principles of free speech and due process that had made America what it was in the first place. But Smith’s Declaration of Conscience was not enough to thwart McCarthy’s rise; his popularity would only grow from 1950 to 1954. Had more leaders followed Smith’s example, the grave toll of the McCarthy years—measured in nationwide hysteria, book burnings, ruined careers and suicides— might have been avoided. Demagogues like McCarthy arise from time to time in American politics. Our history textbooks are replete with accounts of these colorful and dangerous characters: Huey Long, Charles Coughlin, George Wallace. No political party has a monopoly on demagogues—they come from the left and right and populist center. They command vast audiences. They live for the applause of the crowd and the flash of the camera. Radio and television are a demagogue’s best friends, for he has no real ones. But the same could be said of gardenvariety politicians. We are used to their pandering, their distortions and half-truths and outright lies—and we are sick of them. What, then, distinguishes demagogues from ordinary politicians? Dishonest politicians are common to every era in American history, but only a time of acute anxiety can propel a demagogue to national

(THAAD) system, situated on the Korean peninsula, is a major threat to China and other major-players in the region. However, although Chinese anxiety over THAAD has contributed to the volatile status of multilateral relationships in the region, others have fostered thanks to this new dynamic. Specifically, the U.S., Japan, and South Korea have been able to interact in a way that, for the sake of historical reconciliation alone, makes the joint endeavor worthwhile. The recent agreement between Japan and South Korea on “comfort women” has gone a long way in amending decades-old wounds between the two U.S. allies. During the 1930s and 1940s, Korean women women were used as military prostitutes by members of the Japanese Imperial Army— reprehensible actions being ever so slightly remediated by a deal between Japan and South Korea to offer financial support and an apology to the women. The trilateral relationship between the three nations is an avenue to share security costs while maximizing mutual benefits. Given how the Korean Peninsula is the “de facto front line, the strategic buffer, for the security of Japan” as explained by Daniel Sneider of the National Bureau of Asian Research, both parties would benefit from moving on from historic animosity a 1954 report from the National Security Council characterized as an “ingrained Korean fear and suspicion of Japan, and the equally fundamental Japanese sense of superiority over the Koreans.” North Korean aggression has been instrumental in forging trilateral engagement between the U.S., Japan and South Korea; in June 2016, the nations conducted a joint-missile-tracking drill off Hawaii—yet another bold push by the Obama administration to flex its joint military capabilities to the unexcited North Koreans. However, combatting instability with the North Koreans is just the beginning for this power-trio. With joint-vested interests that span towards the Persian Gulf and Central Asia, where Indian and Russian influences are altering historic maritime power dynamics, it is not difficult to see the relevance of a superpower trio with potent vertical and maritime identities. Still, there remains a lot to be understood concerning these three nations’ stance on deterrence measures, their balance of power, and interdependent defense postures and reforms. How far can each exert influence in the region and when will their interests inevitably conflict? When will extensive U.S. interest in the area infringe on the balance of powers Japan and South Korea would prefer? Where will their efforts for collaboration hone in on after North Korea, and how will those executive

decisions be made? How can specifically Japan and South Korea leverage their power to promote even more stability? These are but a few of the questions the three allies, facing the watchful eye of the international community, must beg to answer. In the meantime, the current trajectory appears to dynamically engage the nations and capitalize on their shared desires for a new Asian world order, regardless of obstacles to arise. Next steps for improved cooperation will be the most multi-faceted of approaches. Navigating a bedraggled historical backdrop to Japanese-Korean relations, the

U.S. must lead the conversation around traditional military issues while including non-traditional security vulnerabilities such as cyber security, humanitarian relief and energy security. The U.S. already has an advantage it can leverage in its ideational balance of power. As research by the Center for a New American Security has demonstrated, Asian regional norms indicate broad support for the U.S. and “open regionalism,” meaning universal norms and economic integration are welcomed. Furthermore, the three nations must dare to cautiously challenge China’s efforts “to shape the regional normative agenda through exclusive groupings that the region’s democracies will naturally caucus to ensure that the direction of regional integration continues to reinforce what Japanese officials call “principles” multilateralism,” as prescribed by Daniel Twining of the German Marshall Fund and Michael J. Green of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. In effect, trilateral consultations need be allencompassing: from detaching conflicting interests and competition with China, to circumnavigating identity politics given the histories of Japan and South Korea, to greater cognizance on part of the U.S. concerning the fact that its two allies are more concerned with promoting stability with China, to standardized (and frequented) communication channels between the nations, and more. Although the two major U.S. presidential party nominees have failed to demonstrate plans to divert from or continue with the current administration’s path, (due in part to political obligations and the sensationalized nature of their campaigns’ talking points), the next few months will soon see a greater public (and private) interest in allyship and geopolitical conflicts of the Asia-Pacific. Regardless, partnership with democratic Asian states is a truly bipartisan manner will go a long way for all parties. For now till the dubious fate of all Americans comes in the November elections, this trilateral relationship should continue to be a cornerstone for American foreign policy, if and only if our interests truly are vested with the preservation of global stability and diplomacy as a tool for cooperation. As tensions rise in the South China Sea with the Chinese government continuing its military and geographic development in the area despite reprimands from the international community, this trio should be enough to quell the region’s tensions and pave a new way forward for multilateral relationships globally.

Kathryn Webb Bradley, professor of the practice of law, added it is important to bring both individuality and empathy to bear when discussing race relations. “What I want to think is that each black life matters, that each life matters,” Webb said. “We need to be able to see each other as individuals and as human beings and seeing that commonality.” Although many community members attended the event, only about six or seven students were present. Thompson said he was disappointed by the student turnout and explained that it may be because the talk was linked to an art exhibit in the museum. “The challenge for artists and for museums in general is to reach a diverse audience,” he said. “The idea of having a conversation over art and in response to art is automatically going to draw a certain group of people who feel comfortable in an art museum.” There was an art exhibit inspired by "Just Mercy" outside the auditorium where the discussion was held, but it was not the featured part of the event. Thompson said he wished the University had publicized the talk better and done more to encourage student attendance. However, the students in attendance said they gained insights from the discussion. Freshman Cameron Beach noted that the panel connected with his experience of the presidential election and coming to Duke. “This conversation is a really important one especially for myself as a freshman and my fellow cohorts as freshmen coming into a university where race relations are really important and not often talked about,” he said. “I would’ve liked to see a greater student representation here because I think it’s an important dialogue to have even though it’s uncomfortable sometimes.”

"So we are “My advisor has been very helpful to me, making those changes and adjustments, and although we have met only twice so far,” there is more work to be done. My goal is that freshman Ziwei Zhang said. “I would love to the number of students who think they got discuss more meaningful topics and talk about good advising is 100 percent.” things other than academics.” Current college advisors also praised the from page 1 new change for helping to build studentadvisor relationships. “It feels weird to both the students and us of got out of the way. When it boils down to it, that once they declare their major, we are no I didn't think that there was any point that I long in touch with each other, " said Deirdre could see it being productive." Gordon, a college advisor and director of Iron Guarco said something similar, noting Dukes Development Analytics and Strategy. "It he left because he had a different view of feels like I just lose them. So I am really excited jurisprudence. Bansal made clear, however, for this new change.” that Adair and Guarco were not ousted, and Gordon added that another change made that Adair was offered another position as this year will make the advising process even director of communications. more cohesive—students will be assigned “There would be no reason for me to not college advisors according to the dorm they want them on DSG," Bansal said. live in, so that for each college advisor, the Bansal and Weisman selected sophomore advisees all live in the same residential hall and Sabriyya Pate, who did not have a connection with DSG, as attorney general following have the same academic dean. Nowicki said he hopes students can also Adair's resignation. This was done to take advantage of other resources in the ensure the attorney general, who monitors student advising system such as the deans of elections, would not have a conflict of academic engagement. interest, Bansal said. “As someone who knows all the candidates “Our goal of the coming year is to expand the number of DAEs and make students more well, it’s really difficult to adjudicate because of aware of what those folks can do,” he said. conflicts of interest," she said. “Their primary goal is to be resourceful to Adair explained that the benefit of her students, but also to faculty, to help people being the attorney general was that she was understand what the opportunities are. ” already well versed in the election rules and Rainer added that a survey last year showed practices.

Among other changes, the executive board will have less presence at Senate meetings. Bansal and sophomore Kushal Kadakia— her chief of staff—will not attend the weekly meetings as often or will stay in the meetings for shorter periods of time. This decision was based on a request by Executive Vice President Ilana Weisman, a senior. Weisman said she emailed Bansal and Kadakia to negotiate decreasing the time they spend in the Senate, and that they eventually reached an “amicable, mutual decision." “I wanted to move away from executive board dominance,” Weisman said. “Tara and Kushal are incredible people, and they're super passionate about DSG, but they're not members of the Senate. Even though Tara has the right to speak to Senate when she's there, both she and I agree that that should be used with restraint.” Additionally, there have been internal disagreements concerning the use of parking passes for DSG's executive board. Bansal rescinded the board's access to special parking passes to the Card Lot—which were still paid for by each student—but she retains a universal parking pass, which she pays for herself, Adair said. “I had 53 projects last year ranging from gender-neutral bathrooms to a cross-cultural competency module before school. The parking pass allowed me to get to class on time,” Weisman said. “Some of my work included meeting leaders of identity groups wherever they possibly could and in pockets of time. For me, the increased access [was helpful].” Bansal said the parking access was an ongoing conversation. Although Weisman said she understood that the special parking pass access was “a petty inconvenience thing," she added it does impact her ability to do her job. “I think the biggest hit it has is on morale,” Weisman said.
