ONE HUNDRED AND TWELFTH YEAR, ISSUE 12

Vir Patel The Chronicle Members of Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee discussed new Merchants-on-Points options during a meeting Thursday.

Among the ideas proposed were Guasaca Arepa and Salsa Grill, a popular South American restaurant on Erwin Road, and Primal Spirits and Food, a local eatery that advertises a 100 percent gluten-free menu.

According to Primal Spirits and Food’s website, the eatery focuses on “getting back to the basics and eating as our ancestors did, offering unprocessed, homegrown foods.”

Menu items include sandwiches, salads, pastas and meat dishes.

Guasaca’s food is inspired by Venezuelan cuisine and avoids processed ingredients. It serves a variety of chicken, beef and steak arepas, a corn pancake that can be sweetened or unsweetened.

The group also considered Don Marcelo’s Tacos & More, a restaurant that had ​previously visited DUSDAC in November 2015 to pitch its offerings. However, the restaurant did not bring samples of its menu at the time, so DUSDAC elected to postpone deciding on whether to add it as an MOP. Strengths of the See DUSDAC on Page 3

DUSDAC Duke’s next leader: How presidents are selected considers new Merchantson-Points

Kenrick Cai The Chronicle Not much information has been revealed about the search to replace President Richard Brodhead—who announced he would retire in June 2017—but history lends some insight.

Duke has conducted two prior searches over the past thirty years, culminating in the selections of Nannerl Keohane in 1992 and Brodhead in 2003. The present search, however, marks the first time Duke has hired a firm—Isaacson, Miller—to assist in the process. Jack Bovender, Trinity ’67, Graduate School ’69 and vice-chair of the Board of

Trustees, will lead the search committee, which also consists of students, faculty, alumni and other Trustees.

Other peer institutions, such as Cornell University and George Washington University, are also looking for presidents. However, John Burness—former senior vice president for public affairs and government relations—said that the presidential opening at Duke is one of the the most attractive positions on the market.

“I don’t think you’re going to have to try very hard to get top notch people to be interested in the Duke presidency,” Burness said.

Handling the competition Presidential searches typically do not

exist in a vacuum and are accompanied by competitive pressure from other institutions conducting their own searches.

The University faced particular competition during its 1992 search, which landed Keohane. At the time, Columbia University, Yale University and the University of Chicago were all looking for new presidents as well.

“We needed to be very quick in making our offer to whomever we were going to pick because it was highly likely that person could be a candidate at the other institutions,” Burness said.

The patient who received the first hand transplant in North Carolina history at Duke University Hospital in May is recovering successfully.

A team led by Dr. Linda Cendales, associate professor of surgery at Duke University School of Medicine and director of the hand transplant program, performed the surgery on 54-year-old Rene Chavez, who lost his left hand in a childhood accident at age four.

During the 12-hour operation, the skin of the patient’s residual limb was opened, and tendons, muscles, nerves, arteries, veins and bones from both the patient and the donor limb were dissected and their ends connected.

with Chavez, said that he has been doing very well since the surgery May 27. “[The success has been] huge,” she said.

“He was the perfect candidate for Duke’s first [hand transplant].”

Hand transplantation is a type of vascularized composite allotransplantation therapy, which transplants tissues such as skin, bone and muscle to reconstruct defects that one’s own tissue cannot repair.

The hand transplant program at Duke is partially funded through a partnership with the Department of Defense, as part of a greater effort to treat war injuries such as limb amputation.

For the first three months after the procedure, Chavez is required to stay in Durham for the team to follow up on his conditions.

“Mr. Chavez’s recovery is going as

planned,” Cendales said. “He continues to do well, and we have not experienced any unexpected events so far.”

Cendales said that the team is following a protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board at Duke that spans from the initial visit to the follow-up appointments afterward. “[The hand] impacts the patient’s life in ways that he is still discovering,” she said.

The transplant program includes a range of medical, psychosocial, immunological, neurological and surgical components to help Chavez adapt to his new hand. Cendales said that there is a risk Chavez will experience complications.

“Similar to any other organ, [rejection] is an anticipated immunological response of the body,” she said. “Rejection happens in See TRANSPLANT on Page 8

that hopefully we’ll be able to engage more people on a more direct basis,” she added.

Sophomore Steve Hassey—a vice president for Duke Democrats—has worked for several campaigns before, but noted that in contrast to his previous experiences, Duke Democrats is more focused on phone banking and volunteer opportunities.

He explained that while those activities could feel slightly more mundane than working at a campaign office, the grassroots efforts on campus still have their benefits.

“Working on the ground, you get to meet a lot of people, and every day you see the effects of your work,” he said. “For example, we table at Marketplace. Say we sit there for two hours— you’ll probably register 60-plus people to vote and so you see this tangible result of your work.”

Working in the field One Duke graduate has even transitioned from organizing campus efforts to working in a presidential campaign.

Brendan McCartney, Trinity ’16, is currently a field organizer for Hillary Clinton in Palm Beach County, Florida, and said he has used his experience with campus activism as a student in his fieldwork.

In an email, McCartney wrote that his time at Duke was invaluable in making him realize that he wanted to become involved in campaigning. McCartney gained experience in political activism as part of a Research-Service Learning project at Duke. When he was not working at a phone bank, he researched North Carolina’s new electoral laws made by the Voter Information Verification Act. “The law eliminated same-day registration, cut early voting by a week and prevented out-of-precinct voting throughout the state,” McCartney wrote. “Complicating matters— Duke was split into two distinct precincts, with off-campus polling sites.”

McCartney found that a number of Duke students, including himself, were disenfranchised as a result of the law. His vote was ultimately not counted after he had registered to vote with a P.O. Box on West Campus while living on East Campus.

“This was a moment when I really stepped back for a second to think about the effects of Special to The Chronicle voter laws throughout the country,” he wrote.

Duke for Hillary, a subgroup of Duke Democrats, will hold campaign events from students on “If Duke students, who had every resource and opportunity—and a disproportionate interest campus, while Duke College Republicans is supporting McCrory and Burr.

McCartney added that he decided to work for Clinton’s campaign in order to make sure voters’ voices were heard.

“Weak” Trump appeal The Chronicle previously reported that DCR abstained from formally endorsing Republican candidate Donald Trump. Lemon estimated that around two thirds of the organization will volunteer for Governor Pat McCrory and Senator Richard Burr and will not have anything to do with Trump.

He noted that one of the difficulties for DCR members is that “you cannot more or less formally renounce him without just losing your position as an organization as a whole.”

The Chronicle was not able to contact a student involved in Trump’s campaign in time for publication.

Aldrich was not surprised by the apparent lack of students campaigning for Trump on campus.

“The Trump appeal is very weak among college educated people of any age—and that includes college students, of course,” he said. “Everything that pushes against supporting Trump sort of comes together in college students.”

Although the DCR did not endorse a presidential candidate, Lemon still has a positive outlook on campus activism.

“Personally, I’ve always been a conservative, and being interested in politics, being an energetic college student and wanting to get personal and get conservatives elected [has] been one of the fun things I’ve been a part of,” he said. “There’s just something really exciting about being a part of seeing that go into practice.”

McCartney also noted the importance of students taking active roles in this year’s election.

“This year offers a unique opportunity to get substantive campaign experience in a presidential cycle—and, for Duke students, in an incredibly important state,” he wrote.

“We are fewer than two months out, and every phone call, door knock or new registration carries with it a ripple effect.”

Diplomats discuss U.S.-Turkey relations

Emir Belgil | The Chronicle Experts spoke about the impact recent crises in Turkey may have on the current presidential election in a panel Thursday.

Harrison Labban The Chronicle Three of the most prominent voices on the current relationship between Turkey and the U.S. spoke at a panel Thursday about this year’s dramatic developments in Turkish, European Union and U.S. relations.

The forum, sponsored by Duke’s Center for Global and International Studies, focused on current crises between Turkey and what are generally seen as its two strongest Western supporters, as well as the impact these crises may have on the current U.S. presidential election. The panelists included W. Robert Pearson, former U.S. Ambassador to Turkey; Erhard Busek, former vice-chancellor of Austria and and Gönül Tol, founding director of the Middle East Institute’s Center

for Turkish Studies.

Although the forum was hosted by Duke faculty, most of the audience consisted of local Durham residents. Approximately 100 attendees filled up all the seats in the room and then occupied available floor space.

“I think we had an impressive turnout because now, especially, American society is really focused on [the fight against ISIS],” Tol said. “This conflict is of critical importance to the United States, and Turkey plays a big role there. When something like [the July 15 coup] happens, when thousands of military officers are fired, the public as well as the Obama administration must ask what will happen with the Turkish military, who’s such an important partner for us [in securing the Middle East].”

During the discussion, the panelists focused on the most recent coup d’état

Out-of-the world burritos from a galaxy far, far away...

effort in Turkey and delineated the impact this unrest might have.

In July, a faction of the Turkish Armed Forces attempted to overthrow the state government. Turkey has had five military coup attempts since 1960, but panelists referred to this incident as “the coup,” demonstrating the significance of the occasion.

“This day, July 15, is Turkey’s equivalent of our September 11. It’s a day they’re going to remember forever,” Pearson said.

Pearson went on to explain the importance of the U.S.’s communication with Turkey, noting the partnership between this centrally located Middle Eastern country and the West is crucial in the continuing efforts to stabilize the region.

Historically, dialogue has not been easy for the U.S. and Turkey, Pearson said.

However, he noted the potential impact peaceful relations could have.

“If [the two countries] could find common ground, the force for stability would be very, very powerful,” he said.

This attention on the importance of diplomacy has the potential to play a key role in the current American presidential election, panelists explained. To whose advantage it will play, however, is still unclear.

“Mr. Trump’s rhetoric is very radical and that may appeal to some people, but on the other hand, Clinton has a track record,” Tol said. “Lots and lots of people criticize Trump very strongly due to his lack of experience, while Clinton has been around for a while, serving as the Secretary of State and coming into the election with more credibility when it comes to foreign policy. However, not all of the American electorate votes based on foreign policy affairs, many are more concerned with domestic issues.”

The discussion of adding a Mexican restaurant to the MOP slate resulted from Tijuana Flats—a Tex-Mex restaurant located on Ninth Street that had previously operated as an MOP vendor—shutting down before the start of the school year.

MUST-WIN GAME?

Duke carries sense of urgency into first of several 2016 road tests Sam Turken The Chronicle Off to their worst start since 2012, the Blue Devils will go on the road for the first time this season hoping to find solutions to a string of problems that have surfaced in their first two games.

Duke will travel to Ryan Field Saturday to face Northwestern at 8 p.m., the second meeting of a four-year series between both squads. Coming off a disappointing home defeat against Wake Forest last weekend, the Blue Devils will to try avenge a loss to the Wildcats in 2015, and, more Duke importantly, avoid vs. falling below .500.

“We do have a NW sense of urgency,” Duke redshirt senior SATURDAY, 8 p.m. wide receiver Anthony Ryan Field Nash said. “We want to win. We don’t want to have two losses in a row.

That’s not what we’re looking forward to.”

In order to avoid a two-game losing streak, the Blue Devils (1-1) must address several issues on offense that have plagued them through their first two games.

Although redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Jones finished 31-of-48 for 332 yards a week ago, the Blue Devils failed to establish their running game. Wake Forest repeatedly loaded the box with seven or eight defenders, daring Duke to pass. After rushing for just 35 yards on 19 carries in the first half, head coach David Cutcliffe abandoned the run

as running backs Jela Duncan and Shaun Wilson combined for just one carry in the second half.

Instead, the Blue Devils opted to rely on Jones’ arm in hopes of taking advantage of one-on-one coverage on the outside. But Duke’s woes along the offensive line combined with Jones’ tendency to hold the ball too long in the pocket resulted in five Demon Deacon sacks and 10 tackles for loss.

The Blue Devil offense can expect to see more single coverage and bunched defenders around the line against Northwestern (0-2).

Led by cornerback Matthew Harris and safety Godwin Igwebuike, the Wildcats have an athletic secondary that intercepted Illinois State twice last weekend.

Ball security has also been a problem for the Blue Devils, beginning with their seasonopener against N.C. Central when they lost five fumbles. And against Wake Forest, Jones had a pair of fumbles and an interception.

The turnovers have put pressure on Duke’s defense to stay on the field longer and make stops with its backs against the wall. Although the time of possession difference between the

Demon Deacons and the Blue Devils was just four minutes, the Duke defense fatigued in the second half.

“We try to do what we can on the defensive end. Our [coaches have] a motto, ‘if they give us an inch, we’ll defend it,’” redshirt senior safety Devon Edwards said. “That’s put a lot of pressure on [the defense] on trying to change the game and create some points on our end of the field.”

Keeping defenders off the field will be especially important against a Northwestern squad that relies on its running game to wear down opposing defenses. The Blue Devils fell victim to that approach in a 19-10 loss to Northwestern last season when the Wildcats rushed for over 200 yards and seized the lead in the second half.

Northwestern’s offense revolves around junior Justin Jackson—who caused Duke trouble a year ago when he finished with 120 yards on the ground. The second-team All-Big Ten running back has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons and has continued that success this year, recording three of the Wildcats’ four touchdowns.

“They’ve got weapons and they’ve got good football players on offense. They bothered us a year ago,” Cutcliffe said on the ACC’s weekly teleconference Wednesday. “So we will have our hands full. I expect them to play extremely well, and that’s what we’d better plan for.”

But as is the case for Northwestern, Duke’s defense should be able to stack the box and key in on the running game. The Wildcats’ struggles to throw the ball are a main See FOOTBALL on Page 8

‘It’s ACC time’: Duke set for Saturday clash with BC Ian Handler The Chronicle Last year, the Blue Devils earned outright wins in four of their 10 conference games but caught fire in the NCAA tournament on their way to the national title game.

In 2016, Duke hopes toproveitcanconsistently Boston beat the ACC’s best College vs. before replicating that postseason success.

Koskinen Stadium against Boston College at Koskinen Stadium. Duke bounced back from a 3-1 loss to then-No. 4 West Virginia Sept. 9 by routing High Point 4-1 Sunday, and hopes to carry momentum into Saturday’s tilt against one of the hottest teams in the country. Although they are not ranked, the Eagles have not lost yet this season and are second in the ACC in goals per game at 2.9 and first in shots at 23.0.

“You just feel it. It’s ACC time,” Blue Devil head coach Robbie Church said. “That’s why they’re here, that’s why the kids are here. It’s pretty simple, they’re here for a world-class education and to play in the ACC. Now it’s ACC time.”

Church gave Duke (6-2-1) two days off to re-energize his team after the Blue Devils faced three top-10 teams in a week before crushing the Panthers.

Duke’s back line will face another test

FIELD HOCKEY from page 4 Duke’s depth will be tested against a Cardinal defense that has held opponents to a 3-for-28 conversion rate on shots this season. Goalkeeper Ayeisha McFerran anchors the unit, having allowed two of those goals so far in her sophomore campaign and leading the nation in save percentage at 85.7.

“The goalkeeper is definitely one of their strengths and a solid part of their defense,” Bustin said. “We’re just going to have to take smart shots and try to move them as much as we can to put the ball in the cage.”

With shot efficiency likely at a premium Friday, the Blue Devils will once again look to freshman star Margaux Paolino to continue setting up her teammates. One of the top high school players in the country last year, Paolino has transitioned seamlessly into Duke’s offense. The Villanova, Pa., native leads the nation with 1.3 assists per game and is the only freshman in the top 50 in that statistic.

“We just come out and try to do the same thing every time, push each other, work hard in the field, make sure we’re doing the simple things right,” Paolino said. “But nothing really changes, every opponent is the same for us.”

The Cardinals (6-0) have their own freshman star in No. 10 Minout Mink, who is tied with Morris for eighth nationally with 1.3 goals per game. The Dutch forward is one of six Louisville players also with at least two goals early this season and will provide a stiff test for Blue Devil goalkeeper Sammi Steele. In her first season between the pipes, the sophomore is ninth nationally in

Saturday against Boston College (8-0-1), which has won six straight games since tying Arizona State early in the year. The Eagles have the ACC’s leading goal scorer in McKenzie Meehan with seven tallies and two players with five assists in Jenna Bike and Lauren Berman.

Boston College forward Hayley Dowd will also test the Blue Devils—who had not allowed a goal in 331 minutes of game action leading up to the West Virginia game—after scoring the game-tying goal against Duke in 2015 when the teams tied 1-1 after two overtime periods. Dowd has four goals early this season, and will provide yet another test for the Blue Devil defense.

“When you look at Boston College, you think of offense,” Church said. “Up there last year, it ended up a 1-1 tie but we had complete control of the game. We only scored one goal, though, and missed two or three opportunities and then, all of a sudden, Hayley Dowd had half of a chance and she had a half volley and it was in the back of the net. So it finished 1-1 and that was a very disappointing result for us.”

A major question for Duke is the health of senior Olympian Rebecca Quinn, who missed last weekend’s contests. With the Canadian defender in the lineup, the Blue Devils did not allow a goal in three games before struggling to contain West Virginia. Church said Quinn saw action in practice and will play if she feels healthy Saturday.

Freshman Ella Stevens—who is tied for the most goals on the team with three—is battling a hamstring injury and is questionable, but Church and company likely will not let injuries become an excuse for a team that consistently save percentage at 79.3 percent.

For Steele to keep that momentum going, Duke’s defense will likely need to contain Mink, who scored three goals in just six minutes played last Friday against Central Michigan.

“We’ll absolutely have to be aware of where she is,” Bustin said. “Every time we play a conference opponent, there’s a number 10, so it’s great for us to have that experience and to challenge our defense because we’ll only become better.”

Stopping Cardinal midfielder Erin McRudden will likely also be a priority for the Blue Devils, as the senior is tied for second nationally with 1.2 assists per game and like Paolino, specializes in finding open teammates.

After its upcoming road challenge, Duke will then make the short trip to Oxford, Ohio, to take on Miami (Ohio) Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Miami Field Hockey Complex. The Redhawks (3-4) have struggled against ACC teams this season, falling 5-1 to Virginia and 2-0 to Louisville, but also have one of the top scorers in the nation in Paula Portugal. The sophomore is tied for fifth nationally with 1.4 goals per contest and has scored half of her team’s 20 goals this season, meaning the Blue Devils’ mentality will likely be similar to the one they use to contain Mink and capitalize on offensive chances Friday.

“We just have to be alert and aware of the chances when we have them and take advantage of them,” Bustin said. “And I think that’s true on both ends, so we take care of things defensively when we need to and take care of the opportunity to score when we are presented with one.”

uses 19 players.

Duke’s offense was inconsistent in nonconference play, exploding against weaker teams like Wofford, Central Florida and High Point but struggling against Arkansas, West Virginia and North Carolina—which managed a 0-0 draw against the Blue Devils despite surrendering 30 shots.

Balance is the key to Duke’s attack—six players have two or more goals this year—and the rejuvenated Blue Devils hope fresh legs off the bench can help fuel the offensive creativity that makes them a national title contender.

Boston College’s defense has surrendered just

four goals this year. Like West Virginia and Arkansas, the Eagles will likely try to control possession to prevent Duke from using its intricate passing offense to dominate play.

With 10 of 11 starters back from last year’s team, though, the Blue Devils have the individual talent to adjust to opponents that have scouted them.

“Soccer’s not an exact game. We just have to give them ideas and they make decisions,” Church said. “That’s the great thing about the sport. You know we jump up and down on the sideline and act like we know what we’re doing but we’re not really controlling anything.”

March bill creates madness in NC

I

n response to discriminatory policies enacted

by House Bill 2, the NCAA announced this Monday that they will relocate all championship games previously scheduled to take place in North Carolina this academic year.

The NCAA Board of Governors explicitly cited “cumulative actions taken by the state concerning civil rights protections” as impetus for this decision – a decision which economic development officials say will amount to a projected $20 million in lost revenue for North Carolina. As private companies actively disengage from North Carolina’s public sector in response to the bill, our political citizenship as a student body (encompassing individuals directly affected by this legislature) must be re-evaluated and re-heightened.

Denouncement of the piece of legislation in question has stemmed from both the process by which it was enacted as well as the content of the legislation itself. Last March, North Carolina State Legislature held a special session on the bill, and within 24 hours, the bill was signed into law by Governor Pat McCrory. The bill not only forces transgender students to use bathrooms or locker rooms of the gender they were assigned at birth, but also changes how people can pursue claims

of workplace discrimination. The bill “expressly pre-empted all municipal and county ordinances or policies broader than the official state antidiscrimination statute,” which does not include sexual orientation or gender identity among the list of prohibited bases of discrimination. An often forgotten caveat, the bill also serves to prevents cities and counties from establishing minimum wage benchmarks for private employers, setting the minimum wage at or lower than the state’s

Editorial mandated minimum.

Deutsche Bank (and now the NCAA) in response to House Bill 2. Certainly, for voters eager to repeal the bill, the upcoming election provides a meaningful platform for continued criticism of North Carolina’s support for the legislation. The NCAA has effectively prodded the state to rethink its backing of the bill, and in the face of the upcoming elections, this can only provide leverage to McCrory’s opposition.

While we welcome the weight behind the NCAA’s decision and the re-engaged media attention it enacted, we hope students and advocates alike do not rely on such headlines to engage with meaningful social issues. Private companies and public figures have larger platforms on which to advocate against House Bill 2, but this does not mean their statements and actions must be the only public opposition. All citizens must engage in political discourse. We must be cognizant of the significant social capital gained by private entities in support of social justice. While the ends are admirable, it serves our student body well to keep wary of the means and continue to actively pursue our own causes.

We need to support one another. In tandem with executive motions against House Bill 2, we must engage in political citizenship, or else endure the price of negligence and the continuation of discrimination.

Internet memes: serious business

n Tuesday, the Clinton campaign published an article excoriating, not the viewpoints, the proposed policies or the occasionally inflammatory monologues of her principal opponent Donald Trump, but his campaign’s association with a cartoon frog.

The article was written in response to social media posts by Donald Trump Jr. and Roger Stone containing a modified poster of the movie “The Expendables.”

In the picture, faces of prominent Trump supporters have been photoshopped over those of the characters of the film, and the title has been edited to read, “The Deplorables,” in reference to a statement by Clinton

Junu Bae

Trump with undesirable groups. The blame doesn’t rest entirely on her or the Daily Beast; larger media outlets that picked up the story have also blindly bit into the narrative to assemble the now-horrific Internet monster that is Pepe the frog.

To set the record straight, it’s true that Pepe has been used fairly extensively by fringe groups who have repurposed the meme to deliver racially charged or anti-Semitic messages. However, there was and is no movement to turn Pepe into an actual symbol of white supremacy. As an analogy, these groups also tend to use the American flag generously as a nationalistic emblem, but that doesn’t make the American flag a symbol of what

INTERESTED IN EVERYTHING describing half of Trump’s supporters as belonging in a “basket of deplorables.” In particular, one of the faces edited into the picture is that of Internet sensation Pepe the Frog wearing a Donald Trump wig.

The Clinton campaign alleges that Pepe is a symbol with ties to white supremacy. While this itself is not entirely untrue, the article then goes on to cite a Daily Beast report in support of a claim that Pepe has recently “been almost entirely co-opted by the white supremacists.”

In a narrative supported by mainstream media, Pepe has evolved from a happy-go-lucky frog to a white nationalist Nazi figure. NBC, CNN and Vanity Fair all allude to the same Daily Beast article to back this statement. But taking a closer look at the article, the entirety of author Olivia Nuzzi’s argument lies in conversations she had with two self-proclaimed “white nationalists” on Twitter who claimed to have helped coordinate a scheme to re-appropriate Pepe as a symbol for white supremacy. Of course, this being the Internet, was it any surprise when the two people she interviewed were just trolls setting the bait?

Journalists are expected to dive deep into the story and try their hardest to uncover the truth. It’s often a difficult task, for example, if reporting about dangerous movements in a volatile setting like Syria.

But when a journalist is reporting a story that requires no research beyond sitting in front of a computer and moving the mouse, it is simply inexcusable to deliver claims that are so absolutely incorrect.

Nuzzi failed to breach the surface of the Pepe phenomenon beyond consulting two essentially random people who happened to have Twitter accounts, and her inability to perform her journalistic duties has nontrivial ramifications, namely allowing Clinton and her supporters to build false evidence towards associating

they stand for. It’s the exceptional versatility of Pepe that allows its evolution towards whatever message the creator wants to communicate, which is why Pepe has been a stalwart of Internet culture for many years.

Looking at the big picture, the entire premise is somewhat comical, especially for those who have been following the progression of Pepe over the past decade. It’s still a bit of a surprise to see an Internet meme become an issue in a national election. But as more and more people around the world are connected to the Internet, websites once hidden from mainstream traffic like 4chan have begun to become more accessible to the general public, and memes generated by these websites have permeated social media outlets like Facebook or Twitter. It’s a phenomenon that is becoming more apparent: when the Cincinnati Zoo found out the hard way that asking people to stop spreading a meme only encourages people to do it more, the zoo deleted its social media accounts. As of the publishing date of this column, the zoo’s Twitter remains deactivated, and their other accounts are still peppered with comments about Harambe on a regular basis.

The Internet is growing, and its culture is becoming a larger part of Americans’ daily lives, so much so that it wouldn’t seem unrealistic to imagine Internet culture and history as a standalone field of study in the subsequent decades. In the meantime, journalists reporting about the Internet and Internet phenomena should take more care in being critical and researching their topic to avoid spreading misinformation.

Durham’s small Supposed to be business renaissance “A

“T

he renaissance is a great thing as long as you can participate in it. In order to make it beneficial, we have to give people access to the vision.”

Since 2000, millions of dollars have been poured into downtown Durham.

The investments have paid off in full, and they have financed some of my favorite places—the American Tobacco campus, DPAC and the Streets at Southpoint mall, to name a few. But

Durham not only tolerated Black Wall Street, they lauded it.

What, then, is the legacy of Durham’s business community? What can we take from the past as we move forward into a period of revitalization?

The Durham Business and Professional Chain tries to answer these questions. The Chain’s aim is to promote investment and wealth creation by increasing African American participation in the open

“Abroad is supposed to be a semester where you engage with people with whom you don’t usually cross paths at school so you come back with new circles of connections.”

CUT THE BULL

PERPETUAL OVERANALYSIS

in order to truly support this city, it’s important to understand the small businesses that have been thriving here for years.

Despite the new emphasis on investment in Durham, a culture of flourishing business is not new to the city.

In fact, Durham has one of the longest and richest histories of entrepreneurial spirit of any city in the American South.

Durham’s roots lie in tobacco. Washington Duke, the namesake of our university, launched a tobacco manufacturing company in 1865, using a tiny barn as his factory. “W. Duke and Sons” would eventually become the tobacco titan, “American Tobacco,” and the Dukes would become one of the richest families in the world. In true Durham spirit, their success was accompanied by generosity— the Dukes were philanthropists, working to establish Durham’s first hospital that served African-Americans, Lincoln Hospital. Their contributions helped Trinity College grow into a university, and they advocated in 1896 for the admittance of women as residential students and for “placing them in the future on an equal footing” with men.

Unbeknownst to many, Bull City didn’t stop at tobacco. Julian Carr, legendary businessman, took the city into the world of textiles. Cotton mills popped up across the county, and a vast manufacturing community fortified itself, giving new jobs to local laborers.

But perhaps most central and unique to Durham’s economic history is the development of Black Wall Street. A four-block district of Parrish Street became a nationally recognized hub of black business activity. John Merrick and Charles Spaulding, two of the greatest leaders of Durham’s early 20th-century community, established the NC Mutual Life Insurance Fund in 1906, heralding an age of immense success for black-owned businesses.

For Durham, business was not only a means of prosperity; it was a means of equality. While in most of the country, the atrocities of Jim Crow raged against black populations, Parrish Street brought power and respect to the black communities of Durham. The Duke family famously invested in NC Mutual Life Insurance and became lifelong friends of Charles Spaulding. Before World War II, the white community in

economy and advocating for small business interests. Their work is important: there are structural barriers to black professionalism in this country-be they the school-to-prison pipeline, segregated neighborhoods, or lack of access to capital. In advocating for black businesses and workers, they support a number of historic local businesses.

Denise Hester, Chair of the Durham Business and Professional Chain Communications department, explained their mission, citing the legacy of post-WWII housing and finance discrimination as one of the roots of Durham’s inequality.

“A lot of the small businesses often feel that they have been overlooked in the recent development of downtown,” Hester said. “We try to advocate for the use of local labor and talent whenever possible.”

When big contractors come in to assemble an architectural feat, they often bring their own crews from out of state. If we want to bring true prosperity back to Durham, we should be more conscious of the way we hire, invest, and shop. Durham’s historic business legacy has never been business for the sake of business. Rather, business in Durham is successful because it is business with a conscience.

The students here will be key in the reinvestment in the triangle—many of you will stay here after graduating. Be mindful of the people who have been here longest, of the businesses that have been here longest, and of the equality of opportunity upon which this city is based.

As for what students can do to support local businesses, Hester says the answer is simple. It lies in the willingness to immerse in a new community—as author Bryan Stevenson told the Class of 2020 a few weeks ago, there is power in proximity.

“If you stay on campus all the time you have a really one-sided view of the place that you’re in,” Hester said. “There are lots of things going on in the community around you, but you have to get off campus and experience them.”

these several times a day beginning my sophomore spring until the day I boarded the plane to fly across the ocean. Studying abroad is a cherished custom at Duke; as a result, many students mentally craft a utopian life for themselves complete with sweeping and idealistic brushstrokes.

Adults and friends alike fail to hold back in telling you what they think your life away will, and should be, and the ways to do it right.

“It will be the most incredible four months of your life.” “Whichever place you choose, it certainly will be exciting.”

“You can finally rid yourself from many of the frequent stressors that characterize daily life at Duke.” I have heard it all, time and time again.

I, too, created this haven in my head that would fulfill everything I wanted out of a short slice of life in a new place.

By junior year, many students crave this breather. If Duke’s hustle and bustle is the sole cause of feeling stifled, then hypothetically people could expect every facet of our lives to fall into place as soon as we have time and space away.

Instead of sitting stationary in Perkins for hours on end, in Rome I can focus on absorbing the ancient art and crumbling architecture that line each street. I sit through long, leisurely dinners filled with stimulating conversation. I can whisk off each weekend to someplace new. I know that this experience has the capacity to offer me what I wanted, and what I want now. I feel extremely grateful to have this opportunity.

However, it might be an overstatement to assert that life abroad will be rid of stressors and immediately we will recalibrate upon leaving Duke’s bubble.

In typical Duke fashion, these grandiose expectations put too much pressure on selecting a perfect place and then promptly having a flawless daily life there—and of course showcasing those colorful experiences whenever one has a chance to validate them.

But validate to whom: others or ourselves?

Even away from school, we face lingering questions of whether we made the right choices. Colorful photos of friends in other cities present the best façade of everything.

Weekend opportunities for travel create a pressure to go everywhere, see all you can see and check all the boxes. My friends and I grew slightly wistful as we admired the subtle charm of Florence, walking at night among scattered statues with music enveloping us in a vast piazza. As we hiked along the coastline of Cinque Terre commenting on our love of hiking, we pondered whether we would have had greater opportunity to be outdoors in Australia where the ocean constitutes students’ backyard. Moments

later, we reminded ourselves that we have loved each day in Rome for different reasons. Furthermore, being here enables us to sample a variety of incredible places. I reminded myself that an exquisite appetizer does not guarantee an enduring, fulfilling meal. But that ever-present Duke desire to maximize experiences and feel like our time is well spent still lingers. I want to actively shed this mindset here.

More than this, expecting a stress-free life will only surprise and disappoint.

Life in a foreign country with a language barrier presents different complications than those we confront at school.

European countries are known for their enduring beauty but not for efficiency.

Nothing ever works the way it is meant to.

Buses don’t arrive on time. Trains break down. Bureaucratic institutions don’t care if I am late, miles from home with someplace to be in the middle of the night.

The Internet always fails to connect when I’m lost and hoping that Google Maps will be my saving grace. Coordinating flights and navigating airports in languages I don’t understand is not only challenging but also exhausting.

In America, simple daily tasks that I took for granted—yet never particularly valued—allowed me to engage in higher pursuits because they are easy. At Duke, it might be possible to get everywhere I need to go, complete everything I need to do and find those I care about in one place, without a moment wasted. But these basic faculties are not guaranteed here. Life is slower. More basic stressors consume my mental energy; while looming exams do not keep me up at night, getting lost three times a day can conjure a constantly nagging frustration. My first weekend trip involved highly misrepresented hotel accommodations and several trains that never arrived, leading to an impromptu sojourn in Pisa where my friends and I were stuck late into the night. The trip was great, but I want to learn how to erode the too-quick-to-emerge frustration that boils when avoidable issues arise. I try to evaluate whether my experiences are a net positive; when I simplify it in this manner, they pass with flying colors.

Idealistic expectations with no margin of error wire us all tightly. I am beginning to expect at least ten things to go wrong each day. I am working to widen my barometer of flexibility rather than anticipate seamless transitions.

Here, much of my mental energy will be dedicated to patching up holes.

But comparing regular trials of daily life to someone else’s gold standard undervalues the breathtaking moments that greet me each day. By adjusting expectations of my new status quo, that dispensable energy can be used to focus on pursuits that really matter.

Absorbing the foundations and the street artists. Finding the smallest café to which I return each day. Running under the bridges of the Tiber River at dusk and feeling fully present. It helps me remember why I came here.

These are the moments, quiet yet lingering, that I appreciate more with every passing day.

PRESIDENTS from page 1 Yale—Keohane’s alma mater—was also considering her during its presidential search, he added.

Allison Haltom, former university secretary, said the time frame of the 1992 search was slightly altered by the high competition but not tremendously.

“Certainly, that has an impact on a search, but we had a timetable, and we worked within our timetable,” she said.

Although Duke’s search process has begun, past trends suggest that the announcement for Brodhead’s successor is still months away. Both the 1992 and 2003 presidential searches lasted about nine months, with both announcements—of Keohane and of Brodhead, respectively— incidentally coming Dec. 12.

But presidential searches can end abruptly.

In 2012, Yale’s search committee selected Peter Salovey—formerly Yale’s provost—as president only 65 days after the process began.

The Yale Daily News suggested that competitive searches at Princeton and Dartmouth may have led to the quick hiring.

Cornell’s search process could impact how soon Duke selects its president, Burness said.

“Duke does better against Cornell than Cornell does against Duke when undergraduates are thinking for where they want to go to school, but it isn’t a totally dominant thing,” Burness said. “It’s entirely reasonable that someone would find Cornell an incredibly attractive presidency.”

Overlapping candidates Burness, who served as vice president for university relations at Cornell prior to taking the position at Duke, said he does not expect much overlap in potential presidents with Cornell. He said most of Cornell’s presidents have come from major public research universities.

Duke presidents, however, have almost all been from private universities. Several

of Duke’s presidents—including Brodhead and Keohane—have such a background, but not all. Terry Sanford, president from 1969 to 1985, did not have prior private university experience before coming to Duke.

“Part of that is that you want to attract someone who would understand the culture of the institution and the nature of the issues affecting private higher education,” Burness said.

Lisa Yager, executive assistant for the presidential search committee at Cornell, declined to comment, noting that the search process is confidential.

Cornell and Duke are joined in their presidential searches by George Washington University and Vassar College, among other private schools. Public university systems looking for presidents include the State University of New York, the University of Missouri and Utah State University.

Public university systems differ from private institutions in their fundamental structure, Burness said. The chancellor or president of a public university system reports to the state government, but private universities are less susceptible to political control, he noted.

As a private university, Duke also has the advantage of dictating confidentiality under the search committee’s discretion.

“I know people who pulled out of presidential searches at several public institutions because their names were becoming public,” Burness said. “I think they would have stayed in those searches if it could have been done, but the damage that was being done to their institutions was such that they couldn’t take the risk.”

Outside help The Board of Trustees announced in May that they would enlist search firm Issacson, Miller to assist with the search process. Duke did not hire a search firm in any of its previous presidential searches, Haltom said, but the University has used Isaacson, Miller in hiring other administrators.

Peer institutions’ use of search firms

The follow-up work performed by the team includes laboratory work and radiology as well as monitoring Chavez’s immunosuppression medication and his progress with occupational therapy.

Moore has worked with Chavez in occupational therapy for about four hours a day, up to six days a week. The therapy entails exercises to strengthen his entire upper extremity and expand his range of motion, she said. She noted that Chavez has been extremely compliant, which has contributed from page 4 to his smooth recovery.

for presidential searches has been varied.

Princeton’s 2013 search did not use one, but Cornell hired firm Spencer Stuart in 2014, as did Brown in 2011. Dartmouth hired Isaacson, Miller in 2012.

“The job of the search firm is not to go out and reel in candidates,” Burness said.

“It was to identify and to do the background investigations on these people.”

Although Isaacson, Miller will help with narrowing down the list of candidates, the search committee will still conduct most aspects of the process.

“It’s a strong committee,” Haltom said.

“Duke has always had strong committees for searching for president. It’s the most important role of the Board of Trustees—the selection of the leader of a university.”
