MEN’S BASKETBALL
Program hires first female manager since 2014-15
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEENTH YEAR, ISSUE 12
RALLY FOR THE PLANET
By Derek Saul Sports Editor
The 2014-15 men’s basketball season holds a special place in Duke lore, as the season ended with the team cutting down the nets in Indianapolis, capturing the program’s fifth and most recent national championship. On a less rosy note, that season also marks the last time that the program had a female manager. Until now. For the first time in nearly five years, there will be a female manager for the Duke men’s basketball team, Mike DeGeorge, the team’s director of sports information, confirms. Though the team maintained its position that manager positions were open to applicants of all genders, allegations arose in 2014 that the program would not hire women in the capacity anymore. In 2017, The Chronicle got messages from 2014 that a male manager “said the team would only accept female applicants in special cases.” Managers play a key role in day-to-day operations for the program, doing everything from setting up for practices to loading luggage prior to away games. There are typically about a dozen managers with Duke every year. Managers do not receive a salary, but are eligible for scholarships, meaning the group must follow Title IX.

Duke students added their voices to those participating in the global climate strike last week. As part of the week-long global strike inspired by 16-year-old climate change activist Greta Thunberg, the Duke Climate Coalition and the Undergraduate Environmental Union collaborated to host the Duke Climate Rally at the Bryan Center plaza Sept. 21. The event followed a youth global climate strike Sept. 20. “We really want [students] to feel like there is something that they can do and that they can feel empowered and hopeful,” said senior Margaret Overton, who serves as UEU president. Overton explained that the main focus of the rally was to promote engagement in climate change issues among the student population.
With Locopops and colorful signs in hand that read “I’m with her [mother earth]” and “Why should we study if there is no future?”, dozens of students and visitors gathered under the glaring sun to demonstrate their support for action against climate change. Although the rally itself lasted two hours, the event’s organizers focused on long-term impact through legislative petitioning and voter registration. Leading up to the rally, DCC and UEU hosted a sign-making event and drafted letters for students to send to various politicians and Duke administrators including President Vincent Price, Gov. Roy Cooper and Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C. Sophomore Dana Adcock, who studies environmental science and policy, stressed the importance of such engagement. “Especially with this administration and the lack of care put into climate change, defending the EPA and lack of accountability for corporations happening right now, it’s more important now than ever See PLANET on Page 4
Price outlines five values at Academic Council By Jake Satisky Editor-in-Chief
Henry Haggart | Asst Sports Photo Editor The managers stand in blue shirts behind the team.
PREPARE. EXPLORE. CONNECT.
In order to avoid any more research misconduct, Duke has taken several steps, like forming a new Office of Research. Another step? Having values. At Thursday’s Academic Council meeting, the first of the academic year, President Vincent Price addressed the faculty governance body, laying out a list of values to serve as a statement of Duke’s commitment to integrity. He convened a committee to think about Duke’s guiding values, and they came up with five: respect, inclusion, trust, discovery and excellence. “These are intended to be, at the highest level, a statement of our aspirations as a
community,” Price said. Price mentioned that Duke, in fact, has multiple sets of values. The Duke University Health System had its own set of principles, and so did different units within it. The University had a list of values—trustworthiness, respect, diversity, learning and teamwork—from 1997 that were created by then-President Nan Keohane and was passed down to the next two presidents, Richard Brodhead and Price. In 2018, Price said, the National Institutes of Health “expressed concerns” about Duke’s research ethics and faculty accountability. Duke agreed to pay $112.5 million to the U.S. government in March 2019 because of a lawsuit alleging that Duke falsified data in applying for research grants. Price told Academic Council that Duke now
aspires for a culture of the “highest integrity” and of accountability, where faculty aren’t afraid to speak up and ask questions. He wants the five values to serve as an umbrella for all of Duke and extend beyond research. They should be incorporated into residential life reforms, Price said, as well as a potential Duke 101 program for first-year students and faculty hiring. After Price’s speech, Ara Wilson, associate professor and director of graduate studies for gender, sexuality and feminist studies, pointed out that compensations are not evenly distributed among the five values. She said discovery and excellence are highly rewarded among departments and individuals, but neither inclusion nor diversity are endowed See COUNCIL on Page 4

Bernie Sanders calls for a ‘political revolution’ at campaign rally By Matthew Griffin University News Editor
The mood was festive at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Thursday afternoon as a crowd waited for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to speak. People talked and laughed in the lateafternoon heat as dragonflies flew overhead and “Rockin’ in the Free World” played over the speakers. They wore shirts that read “Bernie 2020” and “From a Moment to a Movement.” When Sanders took the stage, they waved signs, cheered and chanted his name. More than 2,000 people packed into Bell Tower Amphitheatre for the rally hosted by UNC Young Democrats. After a series of opening speakers, Sanders addressed subjects from health care to climate change to President Donald Trump.
He wasted no time in repeating his trademark call for a “political revolution” and took aim at the richest Americans for their influence over the economy and political system. “The 1% is extraordinarily powerful,” Sanders said. “They have unlimited amounts of money. They control the political system because we have billionaires now who can spend unlimited sums of money… to elect candidates who represent the wealthy and the powerful. They have incredible power over the economy.” However, he added that a united effort could combat this influence. “At the end of the day, 1% is 1%,” he said. “And if we stand together… we will be able to make huge accomplishments and transform this country.” Sanders trod familiar ground in his speech, outlining the progressive policy positions that have made him one of the frontrunners for the Democratic Party nomination for president. He called for climate action and free tuition at public colleges and universities, referencing New Mexico’s Sept. 18 announcement that it would eliminate tuition at public colleges for

residents of the state. He also called for “comprehensive immigration reform,” including a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, the end of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and the restoration of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. In 2017, the Trump administration stopped the expansion of DACA and later declared it would end the program, initiating a number of legal challenges. The future of the program has remained mired in the courts ever since. “Trump and his friends are trying to divide Jackson Muraika | Associate Photography Editor us up based on the color of our skin or where Sanders spoke at UNC Thursday, as he runs for president a second time as a Democratic candidate. we were born,” Sanders said. “We are gonna
bring people together, not divide them up.” Health care has been a divisive issue on the 2020 campaign trail. In the most recent Democratic debate, former Vice President Joe Biden attacked Sanders’ plan for a Medicare for All health care system, which would replace private health insurance with government plans. Sanders restated his support for Medicare for All, arguing that “in a civilized, democratic society families should not go bankrupt because somebody became seriously ill.” “The function of health care is to provide quality care to all, not make billions of dollars

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1 the same material value. “That makes sense to me, that they wouldn’t all receive material awards. But I just want to flag that in terms of making values attached to norms, the distribution of recognition and rewards matters,” Wilson said. Price responded in agreement, saying that Duke has to be willing to spend money on diversity and inclusion. He noted there are “ways large and small” to focus on those areas.
In other business:
Academic Council Chair Kerry Haynie, associate professor of political science, led the meeting, his first as chair. “I think it was a good meeting, for the first meeting,” he told The Chronicle afterward. “We have a big agenda coming up for the rest of the year.” Academic Council was planning to discuss changes to Appendix N of the faculty handbook—faculty ombuds and the faculty hearing committee—but that debate was pushed to their next meeting in October because of a mix-up that led to widespread confusion. When the Executive Committee of Academic Council posted the amended appendix online for review, Haynie told the faculty the appendix had accidentally embedded the wrong changes to the document.
Nathan Iyer, a master’s student at Duke, spoke on behalf of Citizens’ Climate Lobby, specifically outlining CCL’s support for the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. The proposed legislation would place a price on above-average carbon usage and incentivize environmental responsibility, Iyer said. Attendees and speakers joined together in singing and chanting. Lyrics like “when the people rise up, the powers come down” and “count me in” encouraged unity in the stand against climate change. William Barber III, co-chair of the NC Poor People’s Campaign environmental justice committee and strategic partnerships associate for the Climate Reality Project, opted to forego the stage and instead encouraged the crowd to gather in a circle to hear his message. Barber—son of Rev. William Barber II, cochair of the Poor People’s Campaign—focused on climate justice, emphasizing that climate change disproportionately affects people of underprivileged backgrounds. Barber referenced devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas, droughts in Syria and droughts and storms in Central America. “The climate crisis is depriving people of their basic livelihoods and ways to provide for their families,” he said.
SANDERS FROM PAGE 2 in profits for large corporations,” he said. The message resonated with Nicholas Brownstein, a 22-year-old UNC student who attended the rally. Brownstein said that Sanders’s support for Medicare for All was the primary reason he supported the candidate. “I think he’s the only candidate running who is really pushing that, primarily,” Brownstein said. Laura Doherty, a teacher and Chapel Hill resident, said that she and her husband Tim were longtime supporters of Sanders, and that Tim saw Sanders speak in 1992. “He’s a very honest person,” Doherty said of Sanders, claiming that his views have not changed since 1992. She listed the environment and health care as the most important reasons that she and her husband support him. Opening speakers included Ben & Jerry’s cofounder Ben Cohen and former Ohio Sen. Nina Turner, a co-chair of Sanders’ campaign. In her remarks, Turner decried the state of economic and racial justice in America. “There is something wrong when a few families have all the wealth and the rest of us have little or nothing,” Turner said. “It is something wrong when bigotry and racism and
white supremacy and sexism and xenophobia and all of the anti-humanitarian things have cropped up in this nation.” “And it’s not just the bigot in the White House,” Turner said. Trump has been criticized for racist rhetoric, including a series of tweets in which he told four freshman Congresswomen to “go back” to where they came from. Sanders also took aim at Trump in his remarks, calling him “authoritarian” and “the most dangerous president in the history of this country.” “Intellectually and emotionally, Trump is not fit to be president of the United States,” Sanders said. Still Sanders ended his speech on a hopeful note. “Don’t respond with depression. Don’t respond in despair. Respond by standing up and fighting back,” Sanders said. After the event, UNC student Emma Gerden said she found Sanders’ remarks “inspiring.” “As young people and as students, especially living in this political climate, the issues going on in the White House affect us a lot,” she said. “So I think he just brought up a lot of really good points that we can relate to.” She said she thinks that Sanders has her vote.

Carta’s impact still felt at fundraiser Crystal ball look into Duke’s schedule By Winston Lindqwister Associate Sports Editor
When Virginia Elena Carta graduated from Duke in May, her accolades as an athlete spoke for themselves, but her greatest legacy at Duke has come off the fairway. Earning an individual NCAA championship her freshman year and helping to lead her team to its seventh title her senior year makes Carta one of the most decorated collegiate golfers for Duke ever. However, even after inking herself in the annals of Blue Devil history, the Udine, Italy native has managed to make her presence at Duke felt well after graduation through charity and community engagement. Three years ago, Carta created the Birdies for Babies fundraiser, linking golf success through the women’s and men’s teams to donations for the Duke Children’s Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units. After raising $10,500 in its debut year and more than doubling the amount to $26,322.75 in Carta’s senior year, both Duke golf teams look to continue the former Blue Devil’s legacy through community engagement and donations after kicking off the 2019-20 Birdies for Babies Sep. 11 at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club. “Virginia was a respectable senior, very admirable,” sophomore Gina Kim said. “She has done so many things in her career to the point where I wonder if she had enough sleep. It’s a huge honor, not just for me but for our whole team, to represent so many people and keep continuing Virginia’s legacy. We’re hoping to make a lot more birdies, come off with some success and bring some hardware back home, but mostly just raise some money for the little kids and little babies at the Duke Children’s hospital.” The inception of the charity came during Carta’s junior season. George Grody, a professor in Duke’s Markets and Management studies program and current board member of the National Board of Advisors for the Duke
Children’s Hospital, already had connections to the former Blue Devil through his past experience as a special assistant to the athletic director. A mentor for countless student groups and startups for marketing and fundraising, it was only natural for Grody to be Carta’s first point of contact to get her fundraising idea off the ground. From there, Carta was put into contact with the Senior Associate Director of Duke Cancer Institute and Duke Children’s Development, Debbie Taylor, and Birdies for Babies was launched. Birdies for Babies raises money through donation pledges, where donors can pledge to give a certain amount of money for every birdie, eagle, albatross and hole-in-one the team logs through the season. With the addition of the men’s team to the fundraiser in 2018, the teams combined for 1,281 birdies and $26,322.75 for the infants in the Duke hospital nursery and intensive care unit. “All the credit should go to Virginia for [the fundraising],” men’s golf senior Chandler Eaton said. “It’s really cool to hear that playing good golf helps people. That’s the case at the next level with the PGA tour—they give back— so we’re trying to do the same thing. You realize that you can have an impact doing something like this. A lot of times you feel like you’re on an island, where you’re out here working, so it’s great that you can do something to help people with our sport. It’s the greatest gift you can give.” Although Carta is no longer part of the team, Duke women’s golf still looks to carry on her legacy. Junior Hannah O’Sullivan and freshman Erica Shepherd have taken up the torch as the primary spokespeople for the team’s efforts in Birdies for Babies. And with the addition of the men’s team to the fundraiser, the Blue Devils hope to grow their charity work even more. ‘A big excitement’ Fundraisers like Birdies for Babies look to work around the time constraints some athletes

Blue Devils drop third consecutive contest By Jackie Jaffe Staff Writer
The Blue Devils went south for their first away game, and so did their record. No. 15 Duke notched its third straight loss Friday night, as No. 7 Clemson defeated the Blue Devils 3-1 at Historic Riggs Field in Clemson, S.C. This DUKE 1 comes after the team’s CLEM 3 previous two losses against SMU and Virginia, pushing the Blue Devils further down in the ACC ranks. Duke last went head-to-head with the Tigers in 2017, losing 1-0. Though suffering the same fate this match, the Blue Devils played with a vengeance at the end of the second half that let their opponent know they would not go down as easily. With Clemson’s higher ranking than Duke and home turf advantage, the odds were stacked
against the Blue Devils. Duke struggled in changing the pace of the game from defensive to offensive, with the game largely taking place on their side of the field. While the Blue Devils (4-3, 0-2 in the ACC) were successful in scoring one goal against the Tigers, Clemson (7-0, 4-0 ACC) powered through in shutting Duke out from making any other attempts at taking the lead. The Blue Devils finished the game with only two shots on goal compared to the Tigers’ 14 shots on goal. Clemson’s aggressive offensive presence has been consistent throughout the season, averaging 4.7 goals per game. Duke will need to match this energy in order to reclaim its spot as a top team in the ACC.
Sept. 27 at Virginia Tech After completely collapsing in 2018— Virginia Tech lost five of its last seven games despite reaching No. 12 in the AP poll—the Hokies’ subpar play has continued into this season. Virginia Tech beat FCS Furman by just seven points Saturday in Blacksburg, Va., and I expect Duke to pull off a not-so-surprising upset at Lane Stadium. Prediction: Duke 27, Virginia Tech 20 Oct. 5 vs. Pittsburgh Pittsburgh will likely enter this matchup with a sub-.500 record, but that’s more of a product of its opponents, playing No. 21 Virginia, No. 13 Penn State and No. 15 UCF in the first month of the season. While Duke fell apart in its 54-45 loss to the Panthers last fall, I’ll give the edge to the Blue Devils for homefield advantage. Prediction: Duke 31, Pittsburgh 27 Oct. 12 vs. Georgia Tech This is the only easy win left on Duke’s schedule. Georgia Tech is simply not a good football team. The Citadel—an FCS team that lost twice to other FCS teams to open the season—beat Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Prediction: Duke 34, Georgia Tech 10 Oct.19 at Virginia Here’s where the Blue Devil schedule goes from tricky to brutal. Virginia beat Duke in the teams’ prior four matchups, and this is the best

Through three games, it is clear that the Blue Devils are better than expected, but unfortunately for Duke, so are many of its upcoming opponents. After embarrassing Middle Tennessee in an impressive road victory, the Blue Devils get a week off to bask in the glory of consecutive wins. When Duke returns to action next Friday, the gauntlet of its schedule truly begins, with a contest at Virginia Tech kicking off ACC play. “We’re looking forward to stringing together some wins here in the ACC,” Blue Devil quarterback Quentin Harris said. “We have a string of games here coming up after the bye week and we’re looking forward to...really continuing to build on our success that we’ve had early on.” Last week, I questioned if we really know much about the Blue Devils. Now that I know more about Duke and each of its nine remaining opponents, let’s take a look at the crystal ball for every matchup, and whether my initial prediction of 6-6, including my claim that “the utter inexperience on the offensive side of the ball will prevent Duke from really breaking through,” was too pessimistic.

Recruiting roundup: Duke completes 5-star trifecta By Tevyn Fudge
five schools: Duke, N.C. State, Virginia Tech, Michigan and Ohio State. He will announce his commitment on Friday, Sept. 27 at 3:30.
Staff Writer
With the addition of five-star combo guard D.J. Steward, the Blue Devils now have the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation for next year according to 247Sports. Steward verbally committed to Duke on Wednesday, joining Jalen Johnson and Jeremy Roach in the Blue Devils’ class of 2020. The Blue Zone takes a look at next year’s commits, and who might join them soon: D.J. Steward (No. 26, CG), 6’3/165 lbs. Three days was all it took for the Whitney Young High School prospect to commit to Duke following his visit to campus on Sunday. Steward officially landed on the Blue Devils’ radar after an impressive showing at the Nike EYBL circuit in July. At the circuit’s Peach Jam, he confidently displayed his signature qualities—a consistent 3-point shot, the ability to make tough shots in the lane and the ability to play on either end of the floor. Steward’s presence is valuable in Duke’s alreadysolid backcourt.
for his athleticism and high basketball IQ, which will further diversify the skillset of the Duke backcourt.
Jeremy Roach (No. 20, PG), 6-foot-2/180 lbs. Jeremy Roach was the first of the three recruits to join Duke basketball, making his commitment back in May. The point guard out of Paul VI High School chose the Blue Devils over schools such as Kentucky, North Carolina and Villanova. Roach—who his high school coach called a “pure point guard” to the Washington Post—is known
Jalen Johnson (No. 6, SF), 6-foot-8/215 lbs. The highest ranked of the three current recruits is Jalen Johnson, a small forward who is reminiscent of Paul George. The IMG Academy prospect is a guard in a forward’s body, with great ball skills and high-level court vision. If he’s able to polish his footwork and become a more consistent defender under Coach K, Johnson may very well join many
Paolo Banchero (No. 3, PF) *Class of 2021, 6-foot-9/235 lbs. Five-star power forward Paolo Banchero is a strong rebounding forward/center in the class of 2021. A Seattle native, Banchero is seriously considering the University of Washington. Last month, however, the O’Deal High School product announced on Twitter that he will attend Duke’s Countdown to Craziness this October as an official visit to the school. Based on recent history, players who attend the Countdown tend to commit to Duke soon afterwards. If things go well, we may see a commitment in the Blue Devils’ favor.

Coach K will have a lot to smile about over the next few years with the incoming recruits. former Duke basketball players as an NBA lottery pick. Who to Look For: Keep an eye out for the following recruits, all of whom are top targets for the Blue Devils: Henry Coleman III (No. 40, PF) Class of 2020, 6-foot-6/210 lbs. Henry Coleman III is a tough, physical player that excels at rebounding and scoring in the post. The combo forward for Trinity Episcopal School has announced his top
Jonathan Kuminga (No. 1, PF) *Class of 2021, 6-foot-8/205 lbs. There can’t be a discussion about Duke basketball recruiting without mention of the No. 1 overall prospect in the class. Although Anthony Edwards—the No. 1 ranked prospect in next year’s class—has already enrolled at Georgia, there’s a chance the class of 2021’s highest-ranked recruit comes to Duke. It would make sense, given the amount of talent the Blue Devils’ basketball program attracts. Unsurprisingly, the Duke basketball staff has already made an effort to meet Kuminga halfway, extending an offer to him over the summer. Among Kuminga’s other top choices are Kentucky, St. John’s and Texas Tech. As of now, there is no timetable for his decision.

Blue Devils notch easy win in return home By Max Rego Staff Writer
For the first time in nearly a month, Duke returned to the friendly confines of Jack Katz Stadium, and the Blue Devils sure missed home. Coming off an impressive five-game road stretch, including a win against No. 7 Iowa, the second-ranked Blue Devils welcomed Ohio to Williams Field Sunday afternoon, looking to continue their hot streak before ACC play ramps up. With an aggressive mindset throughout the contest, Duke put on an impressive display in front of 0 the local fans. A OHIO 7 7-0 victory gave the DUKE undefeated Blue Devils momentum going into a tough stretch of ranked matchups. “It feels great to be home, it was a long week,” Duke head coach Pam Bustin said. “It was strange not getting into that rhythm of practice, practice, play, play, but we were able to do a lot of things and it was a great adjustment for the team to get back into the class schedule, back into the routine here at home and get their feet underneath them as we approach a three-week homestand.” Duke (7-0) came out of the gates looking to attack the Ohio defense, resulting in the Blue Devils having nine more shots on goal than the Bobcats in the first half. Duke moved the ball
effectively by using motion and cuts, finding holes in the circle to set up effective angles. This led to a significant amount of activity within the Ohio circle, and Duke received six first-half corners due to its constant movement. The patience, intensity and unselfish attitude shown by the Blue Devils offensively reflected the growth seen by the coaching staff so far this season. With late second-quarter goals by Leah Crouse and Hannah Miller, Duke took a 2-0 lead to the halftime break. “With the competition we have had, we keep pushing [the team] to make some changes and improve things and with that comes lulls and dips in the performance,” Bustin said. “I think overall, our grit, will to win and ability to overcome those times has been fantastic, so we are going to keep pushing them as long they can keep understanding the progress and the big picture. I think that we have a great chance to keep getting better from game to game.” Early in the third quarter, the Blue Devils quickly shut the door on any potential Ohio (4-2) rally by continuing to control the pace of the game, ending with 16 more shots on goal than the Bobcats. Duke totalled 24 shots, 15 of which were on goal, showcasing a relentless attack. Third quarter goals by Noor van de Laar, Olivia Sahaydak and Miller put the contest out of reach and showed the focus that the Blue Devils maintained throughout. Miller’s two goals increased her season total to seven, which currently leads the team.

Leah Crouse was one of a host of Blue Devils that scored against the Bobcats Sunday. The freshman forward felt that going into the game, Duke would have to put pressure on the Bobcats’ circle to ensure success offensively. “We knew coming in that they were going to be strong in the circle and they were going to pack their team in there, so we just needed to use the circle and its width and just play our game and get the ball in the back of the cage.” For the third time this season, netminder
Sammi Steele did not give up a single goal, and the communication between Steele and the defenders prevented Ohio from getting on the board. The Bobcats came into the contest averaging 3.6 goals per game, so the Blue Devil defense clearly executed according to the game plan. Next up for Duke is the first ACC matchup of the season, a home contest against No. 23 Syracuse.

to find ways to get players involved in their community and ways for them to give back,” Taylor said. “We started with golf, and George [Grody] worked with [Duke baseball coach Chris Pollard] to create K’s for Kids’ Cancer. While this program focuses on babies in the nursery and intensive care babies, baseball works with pediatric cancer kids. “We continue to grow our relationship with Duke athletics and different sports programs, and bring more student-athletes in and help them learn to give back and want to give back, and they get really excited about it. Virginia used to email me about how many birdies they made, and there’s just a big excitement about being part of something bigger than you.” For now, the women’s and men’s teams will continue to use what Carta created as not only a way to give back, but also motivation to excel in their sport. And although neither team has a running tally, both see the fundraiser as a way to build in some friendly competition. “Obviously, since we both love playing golf and it’s all about competition, why not?” Kim said on tallying birdies between the two teams. “We’d love to try. I guess friendly competition is a way to motivate us. We can definitely try that. I think we’re going to beat them though.” Past her accomplishments on the green, Carta has created a fundraiser that has a profound effect on the lives of those in Duke’s Childrens Hospital. With her work continuing past her graduation, the former Blue Devil has created not just a lasting legacy for herself, but a framework for others in Duke Athletics to elevate their sport to something bigger than what’s on the field.
goalkeeper in the ACC with multiple saves, lessening the severity of the Blue Devil defeat. In the first half, Pulisic had six saves with only one successful shot against him. By the end of the game, Pulisic saved a total of 10 shots, with two getting by him in the second half.

were manhandled by Maryland and Clemson. If Duke’s secondary can take advantage of Syracuse’s turnover-prone quarterback Tommy Devito, the Blue Devils will secure their coveted sixth victory. Prediction: Duke 20, Syracuse 16 Nov. 23 at Wake Forest Wake Forest dealt Duke a humiliating 59-7 loss on the Blue Devils’ home turf last November and are the talk of the ACC with a hot start, though Duke cornerback Josh Blackwell is not sold yet. “Wake Forest has done some pretty productive things, but no [team] has surprised me.” Demon Deacon wide receiver Sage Surratt is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the ACC, with 372 receiving yards and three touchdowns already. The Blue Devils will keep it closer than last year, but I’m buying into the Wake Forest hype. Prediction: Wake Forest 38, Duke 30
Oct. 26 at North Carolina Though not played at the same intensity of the Tobacco Road rivalry in men’s basketball, the North Carolina matchup is circled on the Blue Devils’ calendars. “We always love the rivalry games,” Harris said. “We’re looking forward to UNC down the line.” Duke has brought the Victory Bell back to Durham each of the last three seasons, but I expect that to change with a bizarre but talented Mack Brown-led squad. Its former starting quarterback, Chazz Surratt, is now a linebacker, and the Tar Heels are now quarterbacked by a freshman, Sam Howell. However, Surratt and Howell have filled into their new roles admirably. Prediction: North Carolina 20, Duke 17
2. Proch’s pair of shots: Daniele Proch helped bolster Duke’s offensive presence in the second half, with Duke’s first shot on goal coming 52 minutes into the game. Though the first shot was saved by Clemson goalie George Marks, Proch was resilient in his urge to score. Proch’s second shot on goal came 85 minutes into the game and was a success, showing that the Blue Devils were not ready to give up. Proch was assisted by Stephen O’Connell and Matthias Frick on his sixth goal of the season. 3. 29 fouls and two red cards: The game’s high intensity meant player aggression was commonplace—Duke finishing with 13 fouls and Clemson finishing with 16 fouls. Duke’s Ian Murphy and Clemson’s Grayson Barber were given red cards for violent behavior on the field 64 minutes into the game.
Nov. 30 vs. Miami Miami’s 1-2 record is deceiving, as the Hurricanes lost to then-No. 8 Florida and to North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Perhaps I have bad memories of the last time Miami came to Durham, but the Hurricanes and elusive running back Deejay Dallas will run through Duke. Prediction: Miami 27, Duke 21
Nov. 9 vs. Notre Dame While Notre Dame is no Alabama or Clemson, the seventh-ranked team in the country will overpower the Blue Devils with ease, similar to what the Crimson Tide did week one. Prediction: Notre Dame 35, Duke 13

The visibility spectrum Traveling as a black woman is a unique experience. I recently visited a country that was a lot whiter than the United States and whose black population was less than one percent. I was surrounded almost exclusively by white people. I noticed them and they noticed me. They really noticed me. Everywhere I went I was being
Veronica Niamba NOT ANOTHER SUBTWEET
I left the store. I thought about my experience the whole walk home, but didn’t tell my mom until two years ago when I walked into Harris Teeter during the first couple weeks of school at Duke, with my backpack on and heart beating out of my chest for fear that I would be told to turn around, or leave my backpack with a guard. No one told me anything and I did my shopping with friends, but not without the constant fear that I would be reprimanded. From now on, I walk in the middle aisles of stores away from the products on the shelves, I keep my hands away from my pockets, I walk slowly, as to not have someone believe I am stealing for the sole reason that I am black. Let’s not even get started about the panic that rushes through my body when I see a police officer. At the same time, even when a blinding light is being shone on every part of my existence, I feel invisible and unseen. My words aren’t afforded the same weight as those of my white counterparts. An idea isn’t deemed interesting if it comes out of my mouth, but let it be another person and you’d think they found out the key to traveling at the speed of light. People don’t ask for my opinions. They assume them, or assume I have none. I am oftentimes the last person in a group to be addressed. I don’t feel like I belong. People expect me to move out of the way for them, when we’re on a crowded sidewalk. My hypervisibility and invisibility are not only physical, but mental and emotional. It is not possible for me to solely exist. Everywhere I go I am both ignored and overly acknowledged. I have to think twice, three times about the things I do and how I do them. I have to be a little more vigilant, a little more observant. Ready to change at a moment’s notice so I do not put myself in a troubling situation. The light of the sun shines on me, but the shadows it creates hide me, and through that I have to find a way to exist, to keep being me, and to not change who I am on the inside. After years of staying silent, I have finally found the ability to use my voice. I can’t stop there though. Like others have paved the way for me to find my ability to speak, I must work to help elevate the voices of others, so that people feel heard and that their experiences are validated.
looked at, stared at. People were x-raying me with their eyes on the subway, on the street, on the bus, in restaurants, in stores. Everywhere I went I was followed by an unfamiliar gaze. I stood out. I was hypervisible. And it didn’t feel good. I felt like a test subject in a lab. Like a show being watched. Like I was a new species that they were discovering. Back home in the United States I am also hypervisible, but in a different way. I usually don’t elicit stares because someone hasn’t seen or interacted with black people before. I always feel seen and watched though. Every move I make feels critiqued and scrutinized. If I speak too loud or get too angry, I am branded the ‘angry black woman’. My natural hair or protective styles are often deemed unprofessional. My resting face is seen as a threat. I strike fear in the hearts of middle aged white women clutching their bags everytime I enter within a thirty foot radius of them. Because of my hypervisibility I have to take precautions that other people don’t. I became aware that I would need to move around differently in the sixth grade. I was going to the local grocery store after school with some of my friends. We were hungry and wanted to get the 59 cent dollars the store offered. It being after school, we all had our backpacks on. The four of us walked in and began heading to the pastry section when a security guard told me I had to leave my bag at the front. My friends asked if they had to give their bags too. “No just her” the guard said. There was no fear of theft from the non-black kids in my group. It was only meant for me, the small black girl whose backpack was so full she couldn’t have stolen anything if she wanted to. I told my friends I was just going to Veronica Niamba is a Trinity junior. Her column, “not head home, that I wasn’t that hungry anymore. another subtweet,” runs on alternate Mondays.

Cowboy stories in the rainbow kitchen Taylor: You haven’t met Professor Melissa Malouf until you’ve met her house. The fiction writer has colored herself into the place like an abstract artist composes a self-portrait; its appointments are vibrant and unrestrained, personal, jolly in the utmost. The front door is hot pink. In the kitchen,
syrup”—and lets it run in little rivers over the bubbled surface of her slice. When I ask for powdered sugar, she presents it immediately, with a silver-plated spoon to boot. Between the velvety yellow of egg yolk and butter, the berries and the light dusting of sugar-snow, the dish is shot through with dazzling color. Taylor:
Margot Armbruster Taylor Plett BREAD TALKS she picks colors out of her greenish-rainbow linoleum flooring and throws them about the room—into plates, wallpaper, those armchairs she pulled off the street and reupholstered. A coil of Christmas lights twinkles in the fireplace like it’s the portal to a fairy world. I first visited the Malouf cottage on Monmouth Ave. two years ago during our fiction class’s holiday fête. A few weeks back, I was her partyguest again when the topic of conversation turned to her spring retirement date. In the kaleidoscope kitchen, I wondered aloud whether I’d ever see the place again. She asked if I might like to come over and cook sometime—and, oh, had I ever tried her pancake soufflé? Margot: When we walk through that pink front door, the air is thick already with the smell of hot butter, made fuller by a note of nutmeg. Malouf, the consummate hostess, has set a gorgeous spread before us: bowls of fresh berries, orange juice and—stunningly craggy in a cast-iron skillet—the pancake soufflé itself, which turns out to be a Dutch Baby. It looks like a crater on Mars, she says. She cuts three pieces, produces a bowl of warm syrup—“Ladies, always heat your
It’s clear Prof. Malouf relishes surrounding herself with the rainbow’s full gamut: on her breakfast plate, in her home and in the people who fill it. Her partner of over 20 years is the prominent Irish literary critic Denis Donaghue, whose daughter Emma wrote the novel Room and its Oscar-nominated screenplay. And though she keeps a bevy of academics, artists and humanitarians close, her “most fabulous” dinner guest was Joan Didion. Melissa Malouf can tell a good story because she knows about people. Well, she knows about most everything. We learn this while whipping up another pancake soufflé. So here’s Melissa Malouf on... Cooking: “Here are all these ingredients, and if I put them together I can make something, unlike with writing, where all the pieces are in my head and the paper starts out blank. It’s just like with gardening, where you can say, ‘this bush is beautifully trimmed’ and just be done. And meanwhile I’ve been working on this paragraph since last night and it’s still not done.” Among Malouf ’s most memorable dishes are her Lebanese grandmother’s tabbouleh and a 25-spice pork whose sheer potency sent

poor Denis Donaghue to the ER. Men: On the disarmingly rugged Jonny Johnson, who swaggered onto the ranch when she was a 14-year-old riding student: “He gave me a ring made out of a horseshoe nail and said ‘I want you to marry me, and I want you to stay a virgin for the next five years.’ And I said, ‘Okay.’ And then I said, ‘I need to call my mom.’” (Afterwards, they enjoyed a coffee date while her mother watched from the parking lot. The engagement didn’t last.) On her more recent partner, the Irish academic: “One of the things I learned from Denis is that he thinks that women are just such awesome and important creatures, way more than men. And I remember thinking, ‘Okay, I like this one.’” Marriage: “Never marry [a man] until he’s at least 30,” because (in a hushed, confiding tone) “the boys are more grown up then.” “If I’m by myself, I’m okay. You don’t ever want to be in a position where you have to stay with a guy because he’s the only one who pays the rent.” The Creative Process: An assistant professorship in Houston— “just a terrible appointment”—left her low, lonely, and struggling to fictionalize a certain cowboy named Jonny Johnson. Miserable, she wrote on a sticky note, “I just have to live with this lump in my throat.” And there it was: the inspiration. Her next protagonist was himself a storyteller who can hardly choke out his words for the physical lump in his throat. When he hacks the thing up, it turns out to be a magical seed, which grows into a tree bearing fruits of every kind. Love: On which aspect of her life today would most surprise 20-year-old Melissa: “the fact that I’m still alive.” Did she think there was a reason she’d
been kept on Earth this long? “What an interesting question! Of course, I would say, because I’ve been able for the last 25 years to have this extraordinary partner in my life, who is fun and kind and sumptuous. So that’s just been a real gift to me, really great.” Literature: “It’s all part of a long conversation— you’re dipping your oar into the whole river, going back as far as your reading goes back. So I could write something like ‘Alas, poor Margot’ in a short story and participate in that tradition.” Life: “Experience bioluminescence. It’s really important.” Take her word for that one. And before we go, here’s the recipe, which Malouf has been making since 1966. It’s simple; we got it together well enough even while dreaming of a sinuous Jonny Johnson riding the land. So, mix: 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole milk 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 pinch nutmeg in a bowl and leave a little lumpy. Then melt half a stick of butter in a 12inch skillet. When all that fat is piping hot, pour in your batter (carefully!) and slide the thing into the oven at 425. 15-20 minutes later, it’s puffed to new heights and golden brown. Remove, and top it as you like. We’re sure you won’t forget to heat your syrup.

Centering Art History and Visual Culture in the Digital Humanities A Symposium Celebrating Ten Years of The Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture @ Duke University https://sites.duke.edu/centeringdh/ Oct. 17-18, 2019 Nasher Museum of Art, Duke University Over the past decade, the use of digital methods has rapidly expanded in the study of art history and visual culture. One of the core areas that art historians and visual culture specialists have particularly focused on is the analysis of spatial problems through computational methods and digital visualization. Looking at objects and environments at a wide variety of scales, panelists will ask: What spatial and temporal cultural problems can be addressed with digital methods? Conversely, speakers will address how the art and visual culture extend and complicate developments within the digital humanities.
