CLASS OF 2021 PROFILE

GETTING INTO DUKE: TRINITY VS. PRATT

Survey finds Pratt first-year class boasted better high school GPAs, minority representation the flip side, Trinity students reported a higher average SAT composite score— about 1500—than Pratt students, who averaged at 1480. In total, more students in the freshman class took the ACT Test than the SAT, with 55.7 percent of students reporting having taken the ACT. The average composite score on the ACT was a 33.25. The lowest report score was a 26, and the highest a 36—the highest possible score a test-taker can achieve. On the SAT, the overall mean score was a 1493, with the lowest reported score being a 1260, and the highest a 1600—the maximum possible score. Trinity survey respondents were slightly more likely to come from public schools and hire a private college admissions counselor than Pratt respondents. Overall, about 72.5 percent of the poll’s participants attended a public school, while 25 percent went to private school. About one percent were homeschooled. In all, almost 17 percent of participants reported hiring a private college admissions counselor. Enthusiasm for Duke was similar among both Trinity and Pratt students—about 65 percent of both said that Duke was their first choice. On average, survey respondents applied to eight schools, with a maximum of 30 schools. About 15 percent of participants had a parent or sibling go to Duke. However, the likelihood that a first-year carries legacy status increases if they are in Trinity, as opposed to Pratt, where about 13.5 percent of survey respondents reported being a legacy student. More members of the Class of 2021

Pratt first-years have slightly higher GPAs and are less likely to be legacy students than Trinity first-years, according to a recent Chronicle survey. This past summer, The Chronicle solicited responses to a survey for members of the Class of 2021, in which 281 students— about 16 percent of the class—took the survey. Some of the questions centered on different aspects of getting into Duke, such as test scores, high school GPA and legacy status. Although Trinity first-years answered similarly to Pratt first-years for a few questions, there were also several questions for which the arts and sciences students diverged with the engineering students. One of the starkest differences was in racial and ethnic diversity of the schools. Overall, a little more than 58 percent of survey participants were minority students—which is over-representative of the actual 53 percent of the Class of 2021 that are minorities in terms of race or ethnicity reported by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The survey reported that 62 percent of Pratt first-years were racial or ethnic minorities compared to about 57 percent of Trinity first-years. Whereas twenty-six percent of Pratt students were black or Hispanic, just about 20 percent of Trinity students were black or Hispanic. Similar proportions of Asian students were in both schools. Pratt participants had a slightly higher average GPA—3.95—than Trinity participants, who averaged at 3.91. On

Office of Student Conduct reduces power of appeals boards By Claire Ballentine and Neelesh Moorthy Towerview Editors

Bre Bradham | Staff Photographer Office of Student Conduct now requires appeals boards to return cases to OSC for final decisions.

For the first time since the 2002-03 school year, appeals boards in the Office of Student Conduct no longer have the authority to “resolve” cases. Instead, they must send the case back to OSC. The new policy also gives OSC more authority to decide what happens to students after winning an appeal. For the 2016-17 year, the appeals board had three options: it could resolve the case, it could remand the case to OSC or it could send the case back to the original hearing panel with instructions for how to proceed. This year, however, the appeals board must return the case to OSC. The new policy applies to both sexual misconduct cases and all other OSC cases. On its face, the policy’s language gives OSC broad discretion on what to do next. “When a case is returned to the Office of Student Conduct, the Office of Student Conduct may decide to drop the case (e.g., based on insufficient information to believe that a policy violation may have occurred), send the case to the original hearing panel for reconsideration,

send the case to a new hearing panel with the same or different charges, and/or (re)implement any aspect of the disciplinary process,” the policy reads. “A different decision (i.e., the decision of responsibility and/or sanctions) may subsequently result.” James Coleman, John S. Bradway professor of the practice of law, wrote in an email that the policy update “is something else.” He argued that it was an unfair approach, especially because the revised policy does not include explicit guidelines for how OSC can exercise its authority. When asked about the updates to the sexual misconduct policy, Stephen Bryan—associate dean of students and director of OSC—declined an interview and instead directed The Chronicle to Sue Wasiolek, associate vice president for student affairs and dean of students. Wasiolek explained via email that revisions to policies and procedures are made each year based on feedback from the community and ultimately approved or not by Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs. She noted that students are given annual notification of

SOULMATE OR BRANDMATE?

Researchers analyze brand compatibility in relationships By Carley Lerner Contributing Reporter

How do you know when you’ve found “the one”? Is it the bubbly feeling that melts through your body when you look into their eyes? Is it your heart doing somersaults in your chest when they enter a room? It might actually be your mutual love of Coca-Cola. Researchers from the Fuqua School of Business have found that the strength of a relationship is dependent on the commercial brands that each partner prefers. Published in the Journal of Consumer Research, the study called “Coke vs. Pepsi, Brand Compatibility, Relationship Power and Life Satisfaction” was conducted by Fuqua professors Tanya Chartrand, Grainne Fitzsimons and Gavin Fitzsimons, along with former Fuqua Ph.D. student Danielle Brick. “As close relationships involve repeated, frequent interactions in diverse settings and strong mutual interdependence whereby the outcomes of one’s decisions affect both the other person and the relationship itself, individuals are often constrained by their partner’s preferences and the demands of the relationship,” Grainne Fitzsimons said. They researchers explored the connection between the individual brand preferences, power distribution and life satisfaction of partners in longterm relationships. They defined brand compatibility as “the extent to which individuals in close relationships share similar brand preferences” and hypothesized that the presence or absence of brand compatibility is consequential in determining one’s life satisfaction. Across six studies,

the researchers explored their hypothesis that tested the amount of power that each individual holds in his or her relationship, the levels of brand compatibility and overall happiness of each individual. They used brand preferences in soda, coffee, chocolate, beer and automobiles when analyzing couples. The studies revealed that the connection between brand compatibility and life satisfaction is directly related to one’s power in his or her relationship. In addition, high-power individuals are less affected by the lack of brand compatibility in their relationship and are more likely to assert their brand desires over those of their partner. Alternatively, low-power individuals are generally more conscious of brand compatibility. When these low-power partners do not get to enjoy their desired brands, they often perceive greater relationship conflict and feel less satisfied with their lives. The researchers concluded that brand compatibility within a close relationship predicts life satisfaction only for individuals who experience low levels of power in their relationship. Having equal power is helpful, but not necessarily sufficient in maintaining a healthy relationship, Fitzsimons explained. “These couples may do what negotiation scholars call logrolling, where they trade off on preferences depending on what’s most important,” she said. “So if someone loves cars and cares a lot about them, that person’s preferences should be given more weight.” The researchers also suggested that brand compatibility has a higher impact on how long a relationship lasts than differences in race, religion and personality do. This happens because issues of brand compatibility

Students criticize lack of food options on Science Drive By Claire Ballentine Towerview Editor

After sitting through a complicated, hour-long lecture on mechatronics in Teer Hall, what’s the one thing all students want? Food. Unfortunately, Blue Express’s closing last spring has left those who frequent the Engineering Quad hungry for more options. Since the Mediterranean eatery in the Levine Science Research Center shut its doors in May, the only vendor in the area is Twinnie’s, which many complain has long lines during class changes. “I really think they should open up some other consistent food options since I know a lot of engineers and science majors and pre-meds struggle with not having time between classes to run and get something to eat,” junior Francia Fang said. She noted that since most of her classes are in the Levine Science Research Center, not having Blue Express is inconvenient and forces her to make time to walk up to either Twinnie’s or West Union during her already busy schedule. Junior Hailey Prevett said that the line at Twinnie’s is frequently out the door between the peak lunch hours of 11:45 a.m. and 1:25 p.m. She added that although she likes the sandwiches at Twinnie’s, she grows tired of eating them day after day. “They don’t have the manpower nor the food options to accommodate the volume of people that eat there during that time,” Prevett said. As a result, she often turns to the Divinity Cafe, which has limited options especially for those following vegan diets. Junior Audrey Ellis also said the Divinity Cafe has become her replacement for Blue Express. Sophomore Rachael Lau said that she has also faced difficulties getting food from Twinnie’s in between classes. She noted that when she has classes on the Engineering Quad, she often has to pack her lunch or go without eating since the line at the eatery is so long. “This is no fault of Twinnie’s,” she said. “It just happens that Twinnie’s doesn’t have the infrastructure to support the needs of the entire E-Quad as the only dining option between classes.” Robert Coffey, director of dining services, wrote in

CONDUCT FROM PAGE 1 changes through an email and that OSC also posts a list of the substantive changes on its website. Moneta added that Duke makes adjustments to policies “all the time” with consultation from students on the Office of Student Conduct Advisory Group and then through a larger gathering of students, staff and faculty at the end of the year. “The changes come from careful consideration of practices elsewhere, what we’ve learned from our own cases and thoughtful discussion and review,” he wrote in an email. Moneta also said he is confident in the current practices’ ability to ensure fairness, consistency and just outcomes. “Our panels of students, faculty and staff take very seriously their roles and we’re proud of the community roles we have in the juridical processes,” he wrote. A departure from past practice In 1999-2000 and 2000-01, the appellate panel had several options if an appellant’s claim had merit. It could reverse the verdict and withdraw all sanctions, modify the decision of the original hearing panel, remand the case with a requirement that a new hearing panel be installed or remand the case with alternate charges. In 2001-02, the appellate panel had the power to reverse the verdict, modify the sanction or remand the case for a rehearing. The 2002-03 version of the Duke Community Standard is the first edition where the appeals board had the ability to “determine a final resolution to the case” or instead refer the case back to “the judicial officer for a new hearing.” If it chose the latter course, the board could recommend that

alternate violations be considered. This language remains the same for three straight years from 2003 to 2006. The language changes slightly in the 2006-07 version, giving the appellate board the option to refer the case back to the judicial officer for further review “and/ or” a new hearing. However, the ability to issue a “final resolution” to the case remains intact. Such language remains in place until 2015. It then changes again in the 2015-16 version. The appellate board in this policy could still resolve the case—although the word “final resolution” was dropped—or remand the case to the original hearing panel with instructions to call further witnesses. The ability to send the case to a new hearing panel was removed. The 2016-17 version gave the appellate board three options: resolve the case, remand it back to OSC or send it back to the original hearing panel with further instructions. For the first time in 15 years, however, the current policy does not give the appellate panel the ability to either issue a “final resolution” or “resolve” the case. Instead, if an appellant’s grounds for appeal are substantiated, the panel “will return the case back to OSC.” The appellate panel also no longer has the ability to specify what happens next. It is not given the power to remand to a new hearing panel or to the original hearing panel with further instructions, at least according to the policy as written. “When a case is returned to the Office of Student Conduct, the Office of Student Conduct may decide to drop the case (e.g., based on insufficient information to believe that a policy violation may have occurred), send the case to the original hearing panel for reconsideration, send the case to a new hearing panel with the same or different charges, and/or (re)implement any aspect

of the disciplinary process. A different decision (i.e., the decision of responsibility and/or sanctions) may subsequently result,” the policy reads. The grounds for appeal have also changed in recent years. In the 2015-16 year, there were three grounds for appeal: new information unavailable to the original hearing panel, procedural errors in the original panel or the panel’s finding had no plausible basis in the record. Between 2002-03 and 2014-15, the third ground was slightly different and used the phrase “inconsistent with the weight of the information.” Between 1999-2000 and 2000-01, a ground for appeal was that the verdict was “incompatible with the weight of the evidence.” But in 2016-17, the reasons for appeal were trimmed down to only include the new information and procedural errors grounds. “It was not being interpreted correctly in most cases and often created confusion about what that aspect was intended to cover,” Moneta wrote in an email to The Chronicle for an April 2017 article. “Appeals are intended to assure compliance with proper procedures and those are the current grounds for appeal.” Moneta declined to comment on the exact reasons why the “resolves” language was removed or why the appellate board could no longer send the case back to the original hearing panel with instructions on how to proceed.

In 2013-14, the board altered sanctions in two cases. The next year, it changed sanctions in two more cases and overturned findings of responsibility in two separate cases. In 2015-16, it altered sanctions in one case and granted an appeal in another, but the statistics do not explain what exactly that entails. Coleman said he thinks the entire system needs to be re-examined to make it more fair and transparent. “That is especially true for the procedures for sexual misconduct cases which currently bear no resemblance to anything fair,” he wrote. “In light of the Department of Education conducting such a policy review, now is the time for the Duke community to do the same.” He added that the change in this year’s policy may be in response to legal difficulties the University has faced regarding a currently pending in state court in which a student appealed a finding from a hearing panel and won his appeal. Although he did not explicitly mention the name, the case Coleman referred to was that of junior Ciaran McKenna, a men’s soccer player who sued Duke and Dean of Student Conduct Stephen Bryan on the grounds that the University violated its own policies during his disciplinary process and suspension for alleged sexual assault. Coleman was McKenna’s faculty advisor during the case, and testified in court on McKenna’s behalf.

Explosive runs and timely takeaways propel Duke to first 3-0 start since 2014 By Sameer Pandhare Staff writer

On his first carry of the afternoon, running back Shaun Wilson struggled to find a crease and fumbled the ball in Duke territory, leading to an early Baylor touchdown. But the senior certainly made amends for his early miscue and helped make his head coach’s birthday a special one. Powered by Wilson’s big day on the ground and timely plays by their defense, the Blue Devils ran past the Bears 34-20 in a sloppy affair Saturday afternoon at Wallace Wade Stadium. Wilson proved to be a game-breaker time and time again with scoring runs of 50 and 65 yards and finished with 176 yards on his 18 carries. “That game is so vivid in my mind right now that I can’t wait to get to the tape,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “I’m proud of our team. We won the fourth quarter. We won the effort game in the fourth quarter, the intensity game in the fourth quarter and that’s something we worked hard on trying to do.” Wilson’s performance was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise poor performance by the Duke offense. The Blue Devils (3-0) converted just four of their 18 third downs, and quarterback Daniel Jones struggled to find a rhythm with his wide receivers. Duke’s defense made up for the struggles with crucial stops and held Baylor to 1-of-12 on third down. Linebacker Ben Humphreys

Shaun Wilson had two touchdown runs of at least 50 yards, and Joe Giles-Harris led Duke’s defensive effort with 12 tackles and an interception. made the play of the game, as he stepped in front of a bad pass by Baylor quarterback Zach Smith and returned the interception for a touchdown to give the Blue Devils a doubledigit lead in the fourth quarter. “I give all the credit to Coach Knowles. He’s been on my butt all camp about undercutting the stick in that coverage, and they ran the stick and I undercut it,” Humphreys said.

“They happen so fast. By the time you catch the ball and you’re in the end zone, you look up and you’re like, ‘Oh, I just scored a touchdown in college football.’” Two possessions later, Duke forced another big turnover as pressure up front forced Smith to fumble deep in his own territory. The Blue Devils tacked on a field goal following the turnover to give them a 34-20 lead that they would hold onto

for the rest of the afternoon. After taking a 14-7 lead to the locker room, Duke looked poised to break the game open when the defense came up with a big fourthdown stop to start the second half. Wilson’s 65yard touchdown run one play later looked to give the Blue Devils separation with Baylor (0-3) struggling to move the ball on offense. “When a team like that blitzes a lot, once you get past the first level, then it’s daylight,” Wilson said. “So the line did a good job picking up blitzes and things like that and we were able to come free.” But the speed of the Bears’ receivers proved to be a challenge in the second half for the Duke secondary, with Smith starting to take more shots downfield. Smith hit wide receiver Chris Platt for quick strikes of 73 and 79 yards, as the All-American track performer used his quickness to get by the Blue Devil corners and kept Baylor in the game down 24-20 heading to the fourth quarter. Smith was unable to bring his team any closer in the final 15 minutes, as Duke put on the clamps and forced costly turnovers. “Yes, you have to minimize explosive plays,” Cutcliffe said. “But we knew going in, that that was going to be the approach and we did a nice job defending a bunch of them. It’s something for us to work on defensively.” Although the Blue Devils came away with the win Saturday, Duke had the potential to See FOOTBALL on Page 13

Blue Devils’ 8-game win streak ties school record By Jason Atwood Contributing reporter

Duke head coach Robbie Church has enjoyed many milestone accomplishments in a career that has included two Final Fours, but his team achieved a new first for him Sunday. In a game that was defined by physicality and defense, the fourth-ranked Blue Devils took advantage of a few Virginia Tech miscues to come away with a 3-0 win in their ACC opener. With 0 the win, Duke has VT 3 now won its last DUKE eight games in a row, matching the longest streak in program history and surpassing the longest in Church’s 17-year tenure. The match at Koskinen Stadium began as a defensive struggle, as neither team could consistently create scoring opportunities. However, with 2:19 to go in the first half, junior midfielder Chelsea Burns was fouled in the box and converted a penalty kick to give the Blue Devils the lead. In the second half, Duke kept its foot on the gas as Imani Dorsey set up fellow senior Ashton Miller for a goal. Then, only eight minutes later, Dorsey scored a goal of her own to put the game out of reach. Although Virginia Tech’s defense broke down in the middle of the match, Duke managed to stay dominant on the defensive end throughout. The Blue Devils only allowed four shots on goal all day, and that performance was critical in helping the midfielders and forwards manufacture

opportunities at the other end. “We’ve been great all year defensively,” Church said. “I didn’t think we started off the game...as sharp offensively, but we were really solid in the back. We work hard defensively from our forwards on back, and if you put a zero on the board, you’re never going to lose a game, and that’s what we work for.” Offensively, it was a tale of two halves for the Blue Devils (8-1-0, 1-0-0 in the ACC), as the Hokies initially frustrated Duke’s forwards. For the first 43 minutes, the Virginia Tech defense bent but never broke. Sophomore goalie Mandy McGlynn made some impressive saves, and the Blue Devils squandered several opportunities. But the Hokie defense made its first critical mistake with the foul just before halftime that led to Burns’ fourth goal of the season. “We’re always going to have missed opportunities. And I think it’s better to create those opportunities and get those shots on goals because then it builds our confidence and keeps us going,” Dorsey said of the missed opportunities. “We were finally able to break through in the second half.” Duke continued putting pressure on Virginia Tech’s defense, and it wasn’t long until it put the match away. Just more than five minutes into the half, Dorsey delivered a pass back to Miller cutting into the box, and Miller rifled it into the back of the net for her first goal of the season. Then, with 31:18 to go, Dorsey was on the receiving end of a gorgeous through ball from freshman Katie Paschall, getting behind the Hokie defense and scoring for her team-high

Senior Imani Dorsey assisted on the Blue Devils’ second goal and scored her team-high seventh goal less than 10 minutes later to put the game away. seventh goal of the year. The two teams fought tooth and nail in a game defined by its physicality. Virginia Tech (6-2-1, 0-1-0) had only lost one of its last five matchups against Duke, so the Blue Devils knew they needed to match their opponent’s intensity. “They’re a big physical team that likes to break our rhythm,” Dorsey said. “I think we played through that today and I was really proud of us for it.” The two teams ended up committing a total of 24 fouls—getting whistled for 12 apiece—which could have rattled a Duke

team that relies on its aggressive play. “We like to play tough a little bit, and so at times it was a little overboard,” Miller said. “But obviously, it helped us get our first goal, and that kind of set the tone, so I didn’t mind it much since it worked out in our favor.” Although the fouls were certainly frustrating for both sides, Duke was ultimately able to take advantage of those mistakes and come away with the win. The Blue Devils will look to surpass the longest winning streak in program history when they visit Notre Dame Thursday night.

Late flurry comes up empty in Duke’s first loss By Hank Tucker Sports Editor

The Blue Devils kept pressing forward until the last second of Friday’s match, nearly delivering a dramatic equalizer like their late goal against High Point two weeks ago. But against stronger competition, lightning did not strike twice. No. 23 Duke suffered its first loss of the season against archrival No. 8 North Carolina 2-1 at Bryan Park in Greensboro, with all the scoring coming in the 1 first half. The Blue Devils got three DUKE 2 shots off in the final minute of play UNC to no avail, culminating in senior Cameron Moseley’s bicycle kick with a second left that sailed just wide right. “It definitely hurts, but we showed that they have nothing on us and that’s definitely a starting point for us,” midfielder Daniele Proch told GoDuke.com. “We have nothing to envy to them and we have to learn from our big mistakes of this game, but at the same time, go forward.” The Tar Heels (6-1-0, 2-0-0 in the ACC) capitalized on the first real threat of the contest, earning a corner kick in the eighth minute. Sophomore Cam Lindley sent a cross into the box that found the head of midfielder Alan Winn, who gave Duke goalkeeper Will Pulisic little chance to make the save. With plenty of time to equalize, the Blue Devils (4-1-1, 1-10) manufactured an impressive goal in the 32nd minute. Senior defender Kevon Black made a run up the field, controlling a long ball at his feet with one touch at the edge of the 18-yard box before sending a pass across the middle of the field to Proch. The sophomore midfielder ran onto the pass and kicked a strike across his body into the bottom left corner of the net to even the score. The match was only tied for eight minutes, as North Carolina used another set piece to score the decisive goal. Lindley sent another corner kick into the box, where forward Jelani Pieters leaped to draw the defense toward him. But instead of heading it at the net, he flicked the ball behind him to the far side of the goal, where Mauricio Pineda was open and waiting to punch in an easy score from point-blank range. “[I’m] disappointed to give two goals away on corner kicks to kind of give them a little bit of momentum, but I thought our first half was excellent. They had to adjust their formation to deal with our firepower,” Duke head coach John Kerr told GoDuke.com. “It’s just frustrating that we gave up two set-play goals, and we paid the price.” With a one-goal lead, the Tar Heels focused on controlling possession for much of the second half, but the Blue Devils did break through with a pair of golden opportunities before the last-minute flurry. Moseley delivered a perfect cross to senior Brian White in the box with about 30 minutes left, and White

headed a shot destined for the right side of the net before freshman goalkeeper Alec Smir dove to his left to deflect it away. It was the only save Smir had to make all night. About 10 minutes later, Moseley found freshman defender Matthias Frick open in the same spot in front of the goal, but with no defender between Frick and Smir, Frick whiffed on the shot. White had one more try with 53 seconds left, but his shot was cleared off the goal line by Lindley, and neither of Duke’s final two attempts were on target. When Moseley’s final shot went wide, North Carolina fans could breathe a sigh of relief at the team’s temporary home in Greensboro—the Tar Heels’ home stadium in Chapel Hill is under construction. “We had some good chances and we put the pressure on

them, and we put numbers forward. We exposed ourselves a little bit,” Kerr said. “We hung in until the very end and made it very close.” North Carolina won despite being outshot 11-10, and the match marked its third straight one-goal win against the Blue Devils—18 of the rivals’ last 19 meetings have been tied or decided by a single goal. “That’s a top-10 team right there in North Carolina, and they’ve got some good players and they play a great style, and we went toe to toe with them for a lot of the game,” Kerr said. “I’m very proud of our guys.” The Blue Devils will return home to face Wisconsin Tuesday before visiting another top-10 foe in No. 7 Syracuse Friday night.

FOOTBALL

Duke survives missed opportunities in sloppy win By Ben Feder Staff writer

In their first two games, the Blue Devils were dominant offensively, scoring 101 points. Despite putting up 34 more in a win Saturday, the offense’s performance left a bit of a sour taste behind. Baylor—the same team that yielded 48 points to FCS opponent Liberty just two weeks ago— managed to find ways to confuse Blue Devil quarterback Daniel Jones at the line of scrimmage, never letting him get comfortable under center. Duke’s defense gave the offense plenty of chances to put the game out of reach, but the Blue Devils struggled to convert time and time again. Jones threw for a season-low 184 yards and a red-zone interception despite attempting 35 passes, and could not get going on the ground either after leading the team in rushing yards against Northwestern last week. The offensive line did not perform up to its standards, too, as Jones

was sacked five different times and was under pressure throughout the game. “They did so many different things we hadn’t seen defensively. I thought that was difficult for Daniel and just in general,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “I don’t know if I’ve seen people show as many different fronts as they showed in one ballgame.” Jones seemed particularly confused on a costly play at the end of the second quarter. On 3rd-andgoal from Baylor’s 17-yard line, Jones fired the ball directly to Bears defensive back Henry Black, who easily corralled the redshirt sophomore’s off-target pass. At the time, Duke was only on top 14-7 and was looking to gain some momentum heading into the locker room. But Jones misread the coverage on receiver Quay Chambers, and instead of giving the special teams unit a chance to put points on the board before halftime, he gave the ball right back to Baylor. It was not all on Jones, though. The play prior to Jones’ interception, the Charlotte, N.C., native ran the ball in from two yards out, and it seemed as though the Blue Devils were about to pull away. But two offensive linemen were whistled for an illegal chop block, setting Duke back 15 yards and wiping six points off the board. The offensive line also broke down a couple of times with the Blue Devils in the red zone, with Jones either being chased out of the pocket and forced to toss the ball out of bounds or take a costly drive-stopping sack, as Duke scored on just two of its four red zone trips. After a nearly impeccable performance the week prior against the Wildcats just like Jones, the offensive line seemed overwhelmed against a defensive unit that had managed just four sacks in its first two contests. “They had a lot of different looks,” Jones said. “You just have to give credit to their speed and athleticism on defense, and that’s something we haven’t seen as much.” The first play of the game provided a sign

Daniel Jones never got as comfortable as he looked last week against Northwestern, throwing for fewer than 200 yards and tossing a red-zone interception Saturday. of what was to come for the Blue Devil passing attack. On the first play from scrimmage. Jones threaded a perfectly placed deep ball to junior wide receiver T.J. Rahming, but the ball squirted out of Rahming’s hands as he went to the ground. Unfortunately for Duke, Rahming’s drop was only one of a number of miscues by the Blue Devil pass catchers. Speedy wideout Chris Taylor was left all alone on a third-down wheel pattern, but ran his route into the sideline and stepped out of bounds before securing the ball, all but eliminating a touchdown with green grass in front of him. Starting tight end Daniel Helm and wide receiver Quay Chambers also dropped passes, making it even tougher on Jones to find a rhythm. Especially in the second half, when a number of Baylor turnovers gave Duke’s offense the chance to put the game away, the Blue Devils stalled as the passing game continued to struggle. Duke went only 4-of-18 on third down despite having an average distance of five yards, and Jones went just

4-of-8 for 13 yards in those situations, hurting the Blue Devils particularly in the red zone. “The [defense was] putting us in great situations to put points on the board and we didn’t convert all the time,” Jones said. If not for the running game—which contributed three long touchdown runs—and an opportunistic defense that forced four turnovers, perhaps Duke would not be sporting its first 3-0 record since 2014. The Blue Devils are happy they have a full week to prepare before playing Tobacco Road rival North Carolina next Saturday, as they will seek to rediscover their magic in the passing game from the Northwestern game. “Offensively, the turnovers and not converting in the red zone, and an untimely penalty or an untimely drop [hurt us]. That can’t be who we are,” Cutcliffe said. “I want to make my notes and make corrections because I know I’ll have a lot of fun with this one.”

FIELD HOCKEY

Blue Devils pick up 2 wins in first weekend at home By Tim Kollar Contributing reporter

After being ahead for the whole second half, the fourth-ranked Blue Devils looked like they were on their way to an easy finish. Instead, they had to withstand an intense struggle that put the outcome in doubt until the very end. No. 4 Duke wrapped up a perfect weekend with a 2-1 victory against No. 15 Princeton at Jack Katz Stadium Sunday after the Tigers had a L’VILLE 0 potential game5 tying goal called DUKE off following a 1 review in the 65th P’TON 2 minute. Despite DUKE the late chances for Princeton, the Blue Devils’ back line did not give up, and they fought off the last-second rush by their opponent. “In a way, it’s good that we took some hits. We have to use that to help us learn and move forward,” Duke head coach Pam Bustin said. “We still were able to fight for the win and stay together to preserve the win.” With a strong effort until the finish, the Blue Devils (6-1) earned their second win in

as many home games this season. Duke played its first five games on the road and enjoyed being back on its home turf this weekend. “[Playing at home] is so awesome,” senior co-captain Alyssa Chillano said. “We were saying that being away for three weekends in a row, we didn’t realize how much of a toll [the travel] was putting on our bodies, but coming back was awesome and I really think we made a statement coming back to our home field.” After being awarded a penalty corner late in the first half, Chillano was the catalyst for the first goal of the game when her shot was saved but landed in the lap of sophomore Margaux Paolino, who fired it past the goalkeeper for her first goal of the season to end the first half. The goal added some life on the offensive end to a first half dominated by stingy defense from both Duke and Princeton, as the two teams combined for just three shots on goal in the period. “The offense was working really hard together,” junior Rose Tynan said, “It was kind of tough in the first half today because [Princeton] was getting a lot of touches on it, so in the second half we decided we were just going to jump on all the balls, which we did.” The Blue Devils’ change in aggressiveness

and their momentum from the goal gave the team more energy to start the second half, which resulted in a goal from Tynan halfway through the period for her team-high sixth goal this season. But the Tigers (1-4) soon countered and trimmed the lead to one with a goal just three minutes later on a deflection off a corner from Elise Wong. Princeton continued to pressure Duke’s defense and attack on offense, outshooting the Blue Devils 7-3 in the second half after getting outshot 9-2 in the first. However, Duke goalkeeper Sammi Steele stepped up in the second half, recording three saves after needing to make just one in the first. Midway through the period, the redshirt sophomore made an impressive glove save to preserve the Blue Devils’ lead just before Tynan extended it to two. Princeton’s late charge culminated with the goal that ended up getting waved off by the officials, but Duke’s players were unconcerned during the review. “We came together and either way [the goal call] goes, we had no effect on it, so we just focused on what was ahead,” Tynan said. “Luckily it went our way, but we were ready.” After holding on for the win, the Blue Devils now turn their sights toward Old

Dominion. Bustin expressed her goal for the team to maintain its energy from half to half and focus more on being consistent to prevent opponents from getting back in the game, as Princeton did Sunday. The game against the Monarchs, the first unranked opponent Duke will face this year, is set for Sept. 24 at 1 p.m. at Jack Katz Stadium.

MEN’S TENNIS

Duke drops final nonconference test Furman, By Spencer Levy Contributing reporter

Looking to close out the nonconference schedule with a bang, Duke instead ended it with a thud against Loyola Marymount. Duke lost 3-1 (13-25, 25-23, 22-25, 23-25) in a close match to Loyola Marymount at Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday night. Freshman Payton Schwantz and California 0 native Cadie Bates were CCU 3 the bright spots of the DUKE Blue Devils’ four-set loss 3 to a team that beat No. LMU North Carolina in five 1 24 DUKE sets Friday night. The Lions’ consistent hitters proved to be too much to overcome. Although redshirt freshman Sarah Nelson and senior Emma Paradiso had 25 and 20 assists, respectively, Duke’s attackers hit at a mere .254 rate. “We just didn’t serve the ball as well as we needed to, didn’t have many aces, had a few too many errors, and that hurts when you are playing a close match,” Blue Devil head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We came up just short, and I think our team needs to get better as a result of this. I think this needs to be something that sticks with them a little bit, motivates us to be better the next time we get on the court.” Duke (8-3) did not get off to the start that it needed to in order to roll into conference play on a high note. Early in the first set, the Blue Devils went down 7-3 after several Loyola Marymount kills— the Lions (7-4) openly displayed their power with 18 kills in the opening set.

After a Schwantz kill brought Duke within one, Loyola Marymount responded with six unanswered to extend its lead to 18-11, leading to Nagel’s second timeout of the opening frame. But the timeout did not help matters, and the Lions secured the set win with a 13-2 scoring run. With six errors and a .071 hitting percentage, the Blue Devils needed something more from their hitters to open Set 2. “I was really happy the way the team responded after that first set. We almost seemed frozen,” Nagel said. “We weren’t executing any kind of way in that first set. So, in the second set, to see them come out and be a lot more aggressive and go after it was nice to see and a really good sign.” The second set showed the fans why this team had rallied for some tough nonconference wins in recent weeks. Two early blocks from freshman Summer Brown helped Duke come within one point early on in the set, an example of the team’s ability to block effectively and make the most out of its chances. One such opportunity came by way of Schwantz with a powerful kill, giving the Blue Devils their first lead of the set. Duke started to pull away, forcing Loyola Marymount to use a timeout after a 5-0 run, but the Lions rallied to knot the score at 22 apiece. The Blue Devils responded with three of the last four points to win the set off of a misfire by Loyola Marymount’s Savannah Slattery. Duke’s three errors in the set were the fewest it committed in any of the match’s four frames. “Their serving was really tough, and it got us out of system quite a bit, so then we weren’t able to hit as hard,” Bates said. “But, once we started

controlling our serve receive, we started passing. We felt really confident. It allowed our setters to move the ball around more, get the right-sided middles going and then Payton and I swinging on the outside.” The Blue Devils’ momentum did not spill over into the third set, when the Lions took a quick 8-3 lead, but a pass from Nelson to Schwantz gave the team its first lead of the set at 14-13. However, Duke was never able to regain its footing after losing three straight points to fall behind 19-17. Schwantz could not convert on her serve, as she sailed her overhand swing past the back line of the court at Cameron. Eight errors plagued the Blue Devils in the set. “Serving was definitely a key to us being able to be successful tonight, but I don’t think that we executed on that as well as we needed to,” Nagel said. “Loyola Marymount had a lot to do with that and the fact that they were a really good defensive team, controlled the ball really well just made it a lot harder for us to be able to put a ball away.” The fourth set wasn’t much different. After an early Loyola Marymount lead, Duke took advantage of strong play from Bates and sophomore Samantha Amos to seize an 18-15 lead. However, a miscommunication near the net gave the Lions a 22-21 advantage they would never relinquish. With the Blue Devils trailing 24-23, Brown followed through too far on a kill attempt and touched the net, resulting in game, set and match in favor of Loyola Marymount. “[I’m] really proud of them for that and I think that at the end of the match they hung tough.... They gave ourselves a chance,” Nagel said. “A couple different things here and there could have been a different outcome, or at least we’d be in set five, which would have been great for this team.” The match did start on a memorable note, as Jacki Silar, senior associate director of athletics, presented Nagel with a game ball in honor of her 600th career win against TCU last weekend. But Nagel was only looking forward after the match and eager for the next week of practice. “We’re on a fun journey, to tell you the truth,” Nagel said. “It’s hard to maybe feel that right this moment after a loss that we know we could have been just a little bit better.” If the nonconference slate was fun, then conference play will bring even more excitement to this young team. With fewer quick turnarounds coming up, Nagel believes that the team will be fresher as conference play begins next weekend. Duke takes on Wake Forest next Friday night and Georgia Tech Sunday afternoon at home.

Lapidus win in Cary

By Ben Leonard Sports blog editor

For most of his childhood, Jason Lapidus did not intend to play college tennis. The son of former Blue Devil head coach Jay Lapidus, the junior played the sport for fun in high school. The Durham Academy graduate didn’t play in elite junior tournaments or national events—he only played for his high school team and at summer camps, said current Duke head coach Ramsey Smith, a two-time All-American under the elder Lapidus. But after deciding to walk onto the team, the younger Lapidus has gradually taken on a bigger role before breaking through this weekend. Lapidus won his first career singles title in the B singles draw and the A1 doubles title alongside junior Catalin Mateas this weekend at the Duke James Bonk Invite at Cary Tennis Park in the Blue Devils’ first event of the season. No. 44 Spencer Furman also picked up the A singles title, giving Duke three of the four titles against a field that included North Carolina, N.C. State, Louisville, Wake Forest and Princeton, among others. Lapidus had gone 6-18 in his singles career before the tournament. “I’ve been able to see him grow since he was born. He was born my freshman year at Duke, 1997,” Smith said. “He’s just improved so much since he’s gotten to Duke. This summer in particular he got in a lot better shape and has been working on his singles in addition to his doubles. It’s great to see him break through.” Even before the tournament, it wasn’t originally in the works for Lapidus to play singles until he asked for, and received, the opportunity. Lapidus beat Wake Forest’s Patrick Hannity— Fox News personality Sean Hannity’s son—6-3, 6-2 in the first round of singles before taking down VCU’s Louis Ishizaka and Elon’s Jacob Bicknell to reach the finals, where he shut down Charlotte’s Sam Rice 6-4, 6-3. In doubles, Lapidus rolled with Mateas to the finals after 8-7 (8-6) wins against both North Florida and N.C. State before silencing Princeton’s duo of Kial Kaiser and Diego Vives 8-3. Although Smith said doubles have been Lapidus’ main focus this year, his play this weekend could give him a chance for a bigger role. See M. TENNIS on Page 13

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 6 put the Bears away much earlier in the contest. With fans still making their way to their seats, Jones delivered a dime to receiver T.J. Rahming downfield on the first play of the game that was dropped by the junior. Although the play was nullified by a Bears penalty, the missed opportunity was symbolic of what was to come for both teams. After Wilson coughed up the ball on the next play, Baylor scored quickly on a 44-yard strike from Smith to Denzel Mims. Although the Blue Devils tied the game on the next drive on Wilson’s first big run, the team struggled to cash in on multiple chances to wrestle control away from the Bears in the first half despite 10 penalties by Baylor. A powerful 34-yard touchdown run from Brittain Brown gave Duke the lead, but

the Blue Devils squandered two red-zone opportunities to go up by two scores late in the half. Austin Parker missed a kick to waste a Joe Giles-Harris interception that gave Duke good field position, and Jones threw an interception in the end zone in the final minute of the half. The Blue Devil defense ensured that Baylor never regained the lead, though, led by three sacks and Giles-Harris’ 12 tackles. With the win, Duke notched its third consecutive home victory and gave its now 63-year-old coach something to cheer about. “Well, I don’t feel a year older,” Cutcliffe said. “But I’ve had a lot of years of birthdays in the fall that weren’t so happy. This is a whole lot better this way.” The Blue Devils will hit the road for the first time next week in their ACC opener when they head to Chapel Hill to renew the Tobacco Road rivalry with North Carolina.

Pura—the Blue Devils also will be deeper than anticipated. No. 34 Nicolas Alvarez’s status for the season was up in the air heading into this year after suffering a wrist injury that has sidelined him since January. The Lima, Peru, native did not play this weekend, but will return to Duke 100 percent healthy, Smith said.

Historicizing North Korea Last Friday, North Korea successfully completed another round of missile launches as one landed several thousand miles off from northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. This test further heightened tensions with the United States and continued to stoke the flames of combative rhetoric between the Trump Administration and Kim Jong-un. Fear and uncertainty over these missile test runs has served as fodder for deepening divisiveness and has made the looming threat of nuclear confrontation seem increasingly viable to a bellicose Trump. All of this has manifested in predictably panicked news coverage as well as the obfuscation of historical and contemporary realities worth hashing out in order to gain a better sense of this political moment. From Trump’s latest tweet mocking Kim Jong-un to citizens on both sides of the political spectrum calling for action against North Korea, the current discourse exemplifies an American tendency to discuss the country hostily in a dehumanizing manner, while simultaneously expressing bewilderment as to why the North Koreans exhibit such strongly negative sentiments towards the U.S. As with most political discussions, it is important to recognize that nuances exist and historical context is crucial. Millions of Koreans died during the Korean War, in which the United States dropped approximately 600,000 tons of explosives on North Korea, decimating entire cities and towns. All of this destruction was preceded

by a ruthless 40-year occupation by the Japanese, when men endured compulsory military service and women served as sexual slaves for Japanese soldiers. Any governmental formation cannot be understood within a historical vacuum, North Korea included. Although, while the North Korean government’s animosity towards the United States is understandable, it does not, however, excuse it’s bellicose behavior. On the whole, relatively little is known about the isolationist nation. However, it is widely accepted that North Korea is a regime where Kim Jong-un holds massive, if not absolute, power. The government has been known to heavily restrict the movement of

Editorial Board information that goes in and out of the country as well. As such, the perspective that we possess as Americans is difficult to confirm between distortion by Western media as well as the North Korean government. While there is no doubt that North Korea has committed human rights abuses, the information that many defectors give are largely false, driven by monetary rewards and shock journalism. We should not engage in perpetuating any misinformed generalizations, especially claims that at this moment are devoid of substance.

F

Solutions to the North Korean regime are limited at best. Providing aid for humanitarian purposes may not be used as intended and could be directed towards building up their nuclear arsenal. Some political figures have called for nuclear strikes against North Korea, which should be categorically condemned as unethical and rash. What is left in the toolbox of American strategy, then, is to either continue imposing sanctions or attempt more rounds of diplomatic talks. These too have their faults and setbacks, with the former strategy being proven to further escalate military action and the latter has demonstrated little to no effect. Ultimately, this, like so many other geopolitical conflicts, does not represent an easy, one step fix. Furthermore, going forward, it should duly be noted that any course of action the United States takes in combating North Korea will undoubtedly have implications for North Korea’s 25 million citizens. There should be no cheering for a nuclear war where its innocent civilians will suffer the most. When speaking on foreign policy tactics, it remains unproductive and dishonest to conflate the people of a nation with their political leaders. News outlets and politicians alike should strive to adopt more nuanced understandings of foreign policy issues like this one with an emphasis on historical context that aims to humanize the people who are involved, rather than demonize and dehumanize.

Making connections

or just under three decades, Pervis was a janitor on East Campus. As do many of Duke’s service employees, Pervis lived in the Walltown neighborhood—a little neighborhood sandwiched between East Campus and Northgate Mall. Pervis, like many Walltown residents, rented his home— every month for nearly 30 years, he wrote a check for $275 and sent it off to his landlord. It wasn’t ideal—with his salary, he would’ve preferred to be paying less per month—but it was tenable. This monthly dance with his landlord continued until early 2013, when Pervis’ landlord asked him to vacate so he could make a few minor renovations on his home. Months later, when Pervis asked to move back in, his landlord agree—at a 190 percent rent hike of $800/month. After living in Walltown for nearly 30 years, Pervis had no choice: he packed his things and moved out. Soon afterwards, he suffered a fatal heart attack; today, Pervis is buried in a humble

Cameron Beach COLUMNIST cemetery nestled at the edge of Walltown. I heard about Pervis one night at Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove’s little home near Broad Street. Coined “the Rutba House,” Jonathan and his wife often host Walltown community members for potluck dinner—on this particular night, a Duke employee had just finished telling us the story of Pervis. “Damn,” he sighed resignedly. “It just…happened. And he was working for the plantation all his life.” I froze. The plantation? My gut squeezed; I knew what he was referring to, but it took a few more mentions of “the plantation” from across the table before I reluctantly acceded to my suspicion: Duke was the plantation. I realized that nobody in the room had batted an eye at what felt like, to me, a searing indictment of my school—that’s when the normalcy of the nickname dawned on me. I left my reams of political philosophy on the floor that night; I needed to know what was going on in Walltown. After a frenzied bout of googling, I began to form a conception of the environment—Duke’s heavyhanded “revitalization” of neighborhoods near East Campus was the catalyst of local gentrification. Just before East Campus became the designated home of Duke first-

years in 1995, the university was worried about the safety of the neighborhoods surrounding East—Walltown in particular. So, in a widely lauded partnership, Duke began partnering with Self Help, an organization dedicated to purchasing and revitalizing old properties to sell to low-income residents of Walltown. Things began to go wrong, though, when Self Help “flipped” Walltown homes without rent control—rent soon skyrocketed. In just 10 years, from 2005-2015, home prices rose an average of 400 percent. Cue an influx of wealthier, whiter neighbors in Walltown— many are Duke graduate students, attracted to its proximity to Duke—and continually raising rent. The Duke-Self Help partnership tried to do things right, but when push comes to shove, the institution is out for itself. If guaranteeing the safety of its students comes at the expense of pushing neighbors out of the historically African-American Walltown, there isn’t much love lost on the university’s end. Duke and Durham aren’t as harmonious as Ninth Street or Brightleaf would have us believe. For all of this dismaying reality, though, I was left wondering something: do we have a responsibility to help fix this situation? We didn’t make this mess, right? It’s almost impulse to exonerate ourselves from the decisions of our administration—we’re here to learn, not to mend Duke-Durham relations or legislate the community. But there’s one part of the tired bullying lectures of middle school that’s always stuck with me: being a bystander is complicit consent. When we delegate away our responsibility for the tension between Duke and Durham, we entrust our image as students in the city to the decisions of Duke’s administration—of course, our leadership is filled with smart, thoughtful people, but they are people just the same. They make mistakes. And just like a political organization, everything is better when we hold people accountable. Gentrification, modernization, town-gown tension…Durham is a microcosm for our country, and in that way, paying attention to Durham is paying attention to America. We didn’t create these situations in our city, but we’re lucky enough to be in a place where we can do something about them. The best way to start, I think, is simply to care.

Homecoming: the best weekend ever?

ne of the best parts of living on West Campus is getting to wake up and enjoy a leisurely stroll across the sunlit, grassy quad over to ABP or Divinity Cafe for a hearty Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast. This weekend, that perk was made even more pleasurable by the herds of parents and alumni blocking all the sidewalks and main entrances, covered in Duke blue outfits that totally weren’t tacky. Blue Devils long past their prime and all their legacy children formed lines at the Café by paying with cash and credit cards, forms of payment that are foreign to most of the West Union registers. The atmosphere was a dynamic mix of overly excited football dads, the seniors from last year whose lives still aren’t cool enough to have something better to do than attend alumni weekend, freshman who think that Duke

Daniela Flamini COLUMNIST football games are fun and fedup sophomores and juniors just trying to get their coffee before finding a spot on the third floor of Perkins. The weekend activities began with an unforgettable Homecoming Dance on Friday night, during which independents had a great time while Greek and SLG affiliates did something allegedly “cooler”. President Price, who has so far impressed the Duke community by being a remodel of the former white male president and by constantly reminding people of money with his less-than-subtle last name, kicked off his first homecoming in his new home, not that anybody actually cares. On Saturday, the football game brought crowds of people over to K-Ville starting at 10 in the morning, tailgating and talking about how much fun it is to have job security. Undergraduate students had to have awkward conversations with all the “young alumni” who they’d kind of hoped they’d never see again postgraduation. “How was your post-grad summer trip to Europe/Thailand? The pics you posted in your super cleverly titled ‘Life after Duke’ Facebook album looked incredible!” one washed out junior said to a young alumnae who graduated about five minutes ago. “Yeah, it was like, life-changing,” she affirmed before adding, “But it’s so good to be back. I can’t wait to get unnecessarily drunk at a darty and cry on my flight back home!” Though things were looking pretty bleak halfway through the game, Duke surprisingly beat Baylor by a whopping 14

points, proving that towing undergraduates from Blue Zone is truly the key to victory, not the football team’s skill or coaching proficiencies. Devil’s Krafthouse was packed with cheering old people drinking tons of overpriced beer and students hiding from them in the corners of the restaurant, scar fing down burgers and fries and watching ranked teams play instead. Throughout Saturday, the young alumni were scattered between Duke’s campus and offcampus frat parties, which are just as inconvenient and off-brand as they were a year ago, but were packed with enough freshman girls and warm alcohol to make the alumni feel at home again. Many of those who remained on campus took nostalgic strolls through Perkins and the Gardens, even though there was literally nothing else to see in Perkins except the same stacks of books and stressed-out, actually busy students who death-stared or growled upon the approaching job-holders. The Gardens offered more of a view with its blooming flowers and sunlit ponds, and even though most of all the alumni have been to New York and know for certain that Central Park is so much more “cultured” than the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, they all constantly repeated that they just missed its “charm.” Perhaps it was the ugly art installation that’s killing the grass, or maybe it was the overuse of the term “Gothic Wonderland” while packing another bowl in that bong the alumni “borrowed” from their fraternity, that created an air of nostalgia and longing as the sun set. At night, many of the returners began to panic upon realizing all the clothes they’d packed was far too conservative and warm to wear to Shooters, but eventually they subsided to peer pressure, exhibiting their maturity and their ability to “adult.” The line to get in over-21 was significantly longer than the under-age line, a rare phenomenon in nature that only occurs on weekends like these. Inside, a few hip parents brought along by their even hipper kids rode the bull and made everyone uncomfortable while young alumni shared teary-eyed reunions with current undergrads and with each other. Everyone was having so much fun that it took them longer than usual to acknowledge what a disgusting place Shooters is. It was truly a magical weekend, made better by the fact that it’s probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the Class of 2017 to feel so awkward. Daniela Fkamini is a Trinity junior.

Give North Korea a seat at the grown up’s table

A

t the end of the day, bullies—often driven into tormenting others because of their own insecurities—want to feel respected. Both bullies and the bullied struggle with the consequences of feeling left out—a natural human sentiment we all can relate to. For North Korean leader Kim Jung-Un, such perceived alienation (and disrespect) represents a major attack against the identity of his famine-ridden, totalitarian state. However, unlike other similarly insecure courtyard bullies, Jung-Un’s nuclear arsenal and volatile nature make him not one to risk triggering. Meanwhile, the United States and its allies struggle to decide upon a strategy towards North Korea, whose recent nuclear testing has left South Korea, Japan, Guam, and others seriously shivering in

Sabriyya Pate

IN FORMATION their boots. Kim Jung-Un’s closest allies, United Nations Security Council veto-holders China and Russia, have previously expressed an unwillingness to increase oil sanctions against North Korea, despite U.S. efforts to accomplish just that. A prevalent theory in alternative dispute resolution states that understanding the goals of the other parties to a negotiation is only one component of successful conflict resolution. The key to mitigating conflict is figuring out how to capitalize on interests. For example, while two people may fight for an orange, Person A may only need the orange peel whereas Person B only needs the orange to squeeze out its juices. Rather than cutting the orange in half, a better strategy is to discuss interests so both Person A and Person B maximize gains. Similarly, the United States and its allies must understand North Korea’s underlying interests in order to pursue a policy of relentless nuclear de-escalation: sovereignty and revenge against the ‘merciless’ Americans who fought them during the Korean War. A 1963 treaty signed by over one hundred countries banned atmospheric nuclear weapon tests. Thus far and in line with the treaty, North Korea, along with other nations developing nuclear arms, has stuck with testing nuclear weapons separately from ballistic missiles. Meanwhile, according to one director of the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, among others, increasingly hostile messaging from North Korea suggests the republic is eager

to prove itself. To Jung-Un, an atmospheric test may seem like just the way to do it. To give him credit, President Donald Trump has not remained silent on the topic of North Korea’s latest nuclear testing. In a string of tweets sent after the North Korean’s deployed their largest test to date, Trump explained that South Korea’s appeasement strategy will not succeed. In response to a reporter’s question “will you attack North Korea?,” Trump answered “we’ll see,” suggesting once again a propensity towards war. U.S. foreign policy towards North Korea must be one of feigned respect. Offering Kim Jung-Un greater respect is a bargaining chip the U.S. and its allies can leverage when re-attempting de-escalation talks. After all, in August, North Korea announced they will not renegotiate their nuclear weapons program until the U.S. ends its “hostile policy and nuclear threat.” As schoolyard bullies easily are, North Korea is offended by current U.S. strategy towards them. If they are led to feel respected, however, outcomes may change. One method to offer North Korea greater respect (importantly, the country has kept its United Nations membership despite its crimes against humanity) is to extend Kim Jung-Un an invitation to foreign gatherings. Another method is to better communication. In April, U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry explained that the North Koreans are seriously interested in normalizing diplomatic ties with the U.S. Formalized streams of communication between the two nuclear powers can facilitate easier dialogue that does not require triangulation through the United Nations, as is the current predicament. Though the normalization of relations is unlikely given recent North Korean aggression and missile tests, opening formalized direct and indirect negotiation channels presents an opportunity to offer North Korea more respect—perhaps enough to prompt de-escalation. Ultimately, if North Korea isn’t offered a seat at the grown up’s table, we will easily pass a threshold of no-return whereby North Korea is unwilling to negotiate. That day, the existence of the grown up’s table itself will be at the discretion of North Korea’s almighty leader. There is no good U.S. strategy towards North Korea—only calculated moves based on opportunity cost. Legitimacy as a bargaining chip during deescalation talks is one such move.

CONDUCT FROM PAGE 4 concluded that the female student did not verbally deny consent although her actions did not give consent either. McKenna then appealed the ruling. After an appeals board concluded that the panel had not applied the correct “reasonable person” standard, the lawsuit said the case was supposed to be sent back to the original panel. But McKenna alleged Bryan set up a new panel to hear the dispute instead, and that this panel found the female student had in fact verbally denied consent. It then suspended him for six semesters. McKenna claimed it was against Duke policy to create a new hearing panel. The 2015-16 version gave the appeals board the power to either resolve the case or send it back to the original hearing panel. It did not contain the provisions, found in previous policies, to send the

case back to OSC “for further review and/or a new hearing.” “The second [hearing] panel decided against the student on the ground on which he had won before the first [hearing] panel,” Coleman said. “This revision is an attempt to give OSC that explicit authority [to create a new hearing panel] this academic year.” Coleman noted that OSC typically “takes the path of least resistance,” which almost always means sending a case to a new hearing panel. In an article examining the student conduct process in May, Donald Beskind— professor of law who has been serving as a faculty advisor for students going through the process since 1977—said he has observed a pattern in which the appellate process changes when students’ appeals frequently succeed. “It’s been my general experience that when student conduct results are not to somebody’s liking the rules change so that that result can’t happen again,” he said.

Fares Hanna—former owner of Blue Express and current owner of Twinnie’s, The Farmstead and Sprout—is incorporating some favorite dishes from Blue Express into the Twinnie’s rotation, Coffey noted. These include chicken cordon bleu, chicken and pasta in cream sauce, shepherd’s pie, curry chicken, spanakopita and gyros. In addition, Duke Dining is piloting the Qspresso food truck near Environmental Hall. This Cuban-themed truck offers options like empanadas, quesadillas and yucca fries. “Duke Dining is working with the Duke community in that area to make decisions on other possible truck rotations from the Duke Dining truck lineup,” he wrote. The truck may not have made a significant impact on campus yet—Fang and Ellis said they haven’t noticed it.

constantly occur. Some partners might not mind if their significant other holds the same beliefs as they do, but constant controversy over a grocery store shopping list can weigh down a relationship. So although some Duke students may be able to tolerate their partner cheering on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during basketball season, they may be less inclined to accept constant fighting about buying Coke or Pepsi. But, there is still hope for couples who love different brands of junk food. “Partners in healthier relationships who have effective communication and who are genuinely concerned with each other’s welfare are probably more likely to find good solutions for problems like these small incompatibilities,” Fitzsimons said.

participated in community service than in other extracurricular activities in high school, according to a poll of current freshman. The poll, which had 281 responses, showed that 16.4 percent of freshmen were involved in service. 11.6 percent of students were athletes in high school, while 6.7 percent either played an instrument or were in some kind of music club or band. Another 6.6 percent were on student government, while 6.4 percent were part of language clubs. Some less popular extracurricular involvements included cultural clubs, political clubs, model UN, and performing arts, debate and journalism.

students, she said. Medine explained that DUSDAC and Duke Dining were also sad to see it go, as the decision was not a choice either of the entities made. In May, Medine told The Chronicle that Duke Dining was consulted about the decision but never would have chosen to close the eatery. “Blue Express was not only spacious and convenient but also pretty reasonably priced, and I think that even more than students, it was an important staple for a lot of faculty and graduate students,” Medine said. She noted that designing food options is difficult because of restrictions like space and fire lane regulations, so building a new eatery is often harder than it may seem. There will always be competition over space in buildings, especially between academic and nonacademic stakeholders. DUSDAC welcomes comments from students about Qspresso as well as ideas they have to improve the Engineering Quad’s food options, she said. Pawel Charasz, a Ph.D. candidate in political science, noted that he would like to see more choices for food on campus in general. He said he liked Blue Express because its hot meals changed every day and their prices were cheaper than comparable options in West Union. “My general feeling is that having geographic diversity of options on campus is a good thing, and it leads to a more diverse of offering of the merchants,” he said.

RACE FROM PAGE 3 Pittsburgh. Neighborhoods where OCHA occurred were categorized by percentage of black residents. The likelihood of defibrillation delivered to those suffering from cardiac arrest was five-fold higher in communities with a greater than 75 percent white racial makeup than in those with a greater than 75 percent black population, Starks noted. While those in black communities were less likely on average to experience their arrests in public, even after examining a subgroup of those with OCHA in public, the difference in rates of bystander intervention were still significant, according to Starks. This points to one of two possibilities, Starks mentioned. Either there aren’t enough automated external defibrillators located in majority-black

neighborhoods or people don’t know where they are and how to use them. “This argues for more local and national resources to be allocated to increase availability of AEDs and education regarding their usage,” Starks said. Starks’ research—conducted alongside researchers at the University of Washington—also showed that while EMS processes and care are really efficient in black communities, some areas in particular were lacking. “Once you looked at neighborhoods with a higher than 50 percent black population, it took EMS services longer to provide a first shock,” she said. “For whatever reason, it takes longer to get a return of pulse in these areas compared to communities that were less black.” Does it matter whether the individual suffering from cardiac arrest is black or white within a predominantly black area? The team of researchers found no difference. “If a black person [suffers from a cardiac arrest] in a predominantly white community, they have a similar
