Wilsons pitch in $3 million to Duke arts and athletics

ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 26

University to address disability access

Donation to support athletic facilities and establish art endowment at the Nasher Rachel Chason University Editor Duke announced a $3 million gift to support athletics and the Nasher Museum of Art Tuesday morning. The donation comes courtesy of the Wilson family—Gary Wilson, Trinity ‘62 and a former member of the Board of Trustees, and his son Derek, Trinity ‘86 and Fuqua ‘90, a current member of the Nasher Board of Advisers. The gift includes $2 million to enhance athletic facilities and $1 million to form an endowment for the Nasher, according to a Duke News release. Sarah Schroth, the Mary D.B.T and James Gary Wilson H. Semans director of the Nasher, said that the endowment created by the Wilson family’s donation will be directed toward exhibition research, development and implementation. In the short term, the funds will be used to support a new exhibit being developed by chief curator Trevor Schoonmaker. The exhibit—which has the working title “Southern Accent”—will showcase what “southern identity” means in the See Wilson on Page 5

Abigail Xie The Chronicle Junior Jay Ruckelshaus—who was left paralyzed in both arms and legs after a diving accident the summer before his freshman year— is shining a spotlight on the experiences of students with disabilities. After founding a nonprofit called Ramp Less Traveled to make higher education accessible to others with disabilities, Ruckelshaus is now bringing a national disability conference

to Duke. His inspiration, he says, comes from his own experiences with transitioning to college. “Even with my extremely supportive family and the great friends I had back at home, I found the process of getting back to Duke really overwhelming,” Ruckelshaus said. “So this re-entry process is basically an impossible task for students with disabilities who don’t have the support I did.” The “Beyond Disability, Beyond Compliance” national retreat will bring students, administrators and experts from across the

country to discuss higher education opportunities for those with disabilities. Scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 22 at the Fuqua School of Business’ Thomas Center, the retreat will examine how colleges accommodate students almost 25 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act. Ruckelshaus said his ideas for the conference were met with overwhelming support from administrators, particularly Vice President for Administration Kyle Cavanaug and See Ramp on Page 4

DukeMakers brings 3-D printing to Duke Student organization uses 3-D printing technology in medicine, fashion and more Grace Wang Health & Science Editor A new student group is working towards more accessible and flexible 3-D printing for innovators across campus. DukeMakers, a 3-D printing club founded in January, was inspired by the worldwide maker movement—a movement dedicated to facilitating innovative

products and creations in the broad community. The club has undertaken several projects in different fields—including fashion design and biomedical engineering—and hopes to expand beyond campus to other universities in the United States. “Essentially, we [want to] make the world into Legos,” said junior Ouwen Huang, a computer science major and member of DukeMakers. “When you were a kid, you played with Legos and could build anything with Legos. With 3-D printing, it allows adults to mold whatever you want.” The club grew from a small gathering

of four members to an active club—with more than 40 participants—within a year. So far, the club has successfully built a prosthetic hand for a boy with birth defects and collaborated with FORM Magazine to create 3-D printed fashion pieces. “Our mission is to build a community of makers on campus,” said junior Ying Wang. Important on-going projects of the club include the construction of 3-D printing kits. Junior Yitaek Hwang noted that in addition to the five printing kits that are currently being built, the club is See Printing on Page 12

Bass Connections professors talk ‘real’ slums in Bangalore Faculty members lead survey on development in low-income settlements in southern India Jenna Zhang Local & National Editor The Bass Connections project team “Where are the ‘Real’ Slums in Bangalore” presented their work Tuesday, showing the variance of low-income slums in Bangalore. The team is currently conducting a survey on the economic and political development in different low-income urban settlements in Bangalore. The project includes a map study, which uses satellite technology to capture changes in the settlements over time, and is led by faculty team members Anirudh Krishna, Edgar T. Thompson professor of public policy, and Erik Wibbels, professor of political science. “We have this very broad idea about what education is, what human development is, and we’re interested in how people make progress in life in all sorts of settings, including slums in India where there’s rapid industrialization,” said Martin Zelder, director of undergraduate studies in the Bass Connections Education and Human Development theme. A number of factors have led people in areas outside of Bangalore to move into the city over the past few years, Krishna said— one of which is climate change. As the weather has gotten hotter and rain has become less consistent, large numbers of rural residents have migrated into Bangalore.

“We just have this huge boom in the size of the urban population and that boom is coming from a variety of different factors,” Wibbels said. “All this shows that there are larger and larger reasons for people [migrating] into cities, but where do they go once they move to cities?” Once in the city, migrants usually have trouble finding places to stay and subsequently set up tents near the places where they work, often construction sites, Krishna explained. Massive migration to the city has sharply increased pressure on the government to recognize land ownership rights and provide services, including education and healthcare, he said. “Of all the people surveyed, the numberone demand is land titles from the government,” Krishna said. “The number two demand is good quality education for their children.” He noted that there is a need for more research to be conducted on urban slums. “There is no clear typology of the different types of slums, no maps showing where one slum ends and where one begins and no clear data that shows whether people’s lives become better or worse over time,” he said. The project is one of 15 others within the Education and Human Development theme, Zelder said. Many of the project teams, including “Where are the ‘Real’ Slums in Bangalore,” are recruiting interested students, who will have the opportunity not only to work with other See Bangalore on Page 3

UN adviser examines effects of poverty “Shame and poverty are inextricable”—Walker speaks at Duke Human Rights event Zaynah Alam The Chronicle Duke’s Human Rights Center and the University of Oxford joined forces Tuesday to search for an answer to the critical global question of whether extreme poverty is acceptable. Robert Walker, a professor of social policy at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom and an adviser to a United Nations special rapporteur on extreme poverty, spoke of the hardships of poverty across the world as part of DHRC’s Poverty, Justice and Human Rights series. Specifically, Walker Robert Walker argued that extreme poverty is costly to everyone—as those living in poverty are socially limited in their self worth and economically limited in their spendings. “Shame and poverty are inextricable, and this has lasting effects on the pain and duration of poverty,” Walker said in his presentation. A 2010 World Bank survey indicated that 1.22 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day, the threshold for extreme poverty. Walker discussed several attitudes towards poverty from across the world and analyzed how they negatively affect the demographic in question. This includes a program for reentering the work force that became a “ladder of shame” in Norway and a survey in Puerto Rico that found that 72 percent of citizens

thought the primary cause of poverty was laziness. Despite having a nuanced attitude towards poverty and the shame associated with it, every country’s poor were subjected to “shame, despair and a lack of cultural efficacy” from varying institutions, Walker noted. This, he argued, resulted in a loss of agency and self worth that perpetuated the limited socioeconomic capital associated with poverty. “[Walker] asked very deep and different questions about our complicity in perpetuating poverty, and in shaming people in poverty,” said James Leloudis, a professor of history at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who is co-teaching a course on the history of poverty with Robert Korstad, a Duke professor of public policy and history. Some attendees were more ambivalent towards Walker’s argument. Junior Daniel Woldorff, a student in Leloudis and Korstad’s class, did not feel that any new ideas about global poverty were presented. “I think his work was admirable, but it didn’t elucidate any part of the problem,” Woldorff said. The event also highlighted some of the UN’s programs and campaigns geared towards eradicating extreme poverty worldwide. This included the Millenium Declaration to halve the proportion of global citizens with an income of less than $1 by the year 2015, and a 2013 resolution to establish guiding principles for enhancing the human rights of those living in poverty through policy. Although welcome, many of these programs do not take the more nuanced aspects of life in poverty into account, Walker said. “There’s still a great gap between income as a conception of poverty and other things to

do with power in a human rights viewpoint,” he said. Although many countries have taken nominal measures to eradicate poverty, lasting stigma towards the poor lead to a continued belief in the right of poverty, Walker noted. Nonetheless, he remains hopeful that a solution can be found in the form of social— rather than economic—policies. “We hope that we can challenge this and do something about our fellow human beings whose life is a life of hardship,” he said. “Our world is beginning to suggest that policies that are shame-free are likely to be more effective-to promote a sense of human agency and self-confidence.”

Part of a series that introduces the research done in Bass Connections to students, faculty and Durham residents, the goal of the presentation was to engage interested students, faculty and Durham residents outside of the project team, Zelder said. “We’re also committed to bringing our programming to the wider community, so that’s why we have these events that are open to anybody in the Duke community or the Durham community,” he said.

Leigh Fickling, director of the Disability Management System. “In a lot of ways, Jay epitomizes the description of a Duke student,” Cavanaugh said of Ruckelshaus, who he has known for three years. “He’s really smart, with outrageous ambitions and fantastic ideas. How often do we get to really support these kinds of ideas?” Fickling noted the conference is a valuable opportunity for discussion about ways that colleges can accommodate students with disabilities at a level above the mandated minimum. Colleges do what they must to stay within the lines of the ADA and other regulations, she said, but the goal should be to go beyond that—creating a unified campus experience for all students. “This is a really exciting time for Americans to reflect on the progress we’ve made in incorporating people with disabilities into our society and to look at what more needs to be done,” Ruckelshaus said. “Duke in general has been extremely progressive with accommodating students with disabilities, so our goal isn’t for a specific policy change at Duke necessarily, but I’m excited for people to come together and form a sense of community.” Ruckelshaus hopes that hearing policy experts and advocates from many universities will inspire students to start projects at their own schools to expand inclusion of people with disabilities. He also believes that improving higher education for people with disabilities can begin to combat their alarmingly high unemployment rates. “What we want to do is explore,” Cavanaugh said. “How do we individually and collectively support individuals like Jay or another

The Chronicle person who has similar aspirations but may also be facing enormous challenges?” Ruckelshaus said he counted himself lucky because of the support he received, and resolved to show others with spinal cord injuries that higher education can be attainable for them. He decided to start Ramp Less Traveled in May 2013, but he initially grappled with determining the most effective strategy. “I didn’t want to start something up for the hell of it,” Ruckelshaus explained. “Originally it was going to be a fundraising arm that would just give money to people, but that never really sat well with me. The heart of the issue isn’t money. You could throw a million dollars at some people and they still wouldn’t know what to do about it.” Instead, the organization focuses on developing mentor relationships in addition to providing financial support—helping students with disabilities navigate housing, dining, academics and social and sporting events to make the most of their college experience. “Our goal is to do everything we can to bridge that gap between hospitals and colleges and to help students who’ve suffered really bad injuries get back to school,” Ruckelshaus said. Ramp Less Traveled presented its first set of scholarships this year, providing funds to three college students with spinal cord injuries. Ruckelshaus noted that he wants to show others not only the possibilities to thrive at college as a student with disability, but also the possibilities of thriving simply as a student. “Obviously I’m a huge disability advocate, but that’s only one part of who I am. I’m a friend, a son, a basketball enthusiast and a political theory nerd, too,” Ruckelshaus said. “While I want the example I set to show how much can be done when you put your mind to it, it also doesn’t have to consume your life.”

DUKE TOPS MOUNTAINEERS Stadium playlist 101 Madeline Carrington Beat Writer

The Blue Devils’ tale of two seasons continues: undefeated at home and winless on the road. Duke blanked Appalachian State 2-0 Tuesday night, APP ST. 0 maintaining its DUKE 2 perfect record at Koskinen Stadium and recording its second consecutive shutout. The Blue Devils got off to a commanding start to the match to move to 5-0-1 at home this season and 20-0 alltime against the Mountaineers. “The emphasis of the night was to get off to a good start,” Duke head coach John Kerr said. “Our movement was better and our timing and directness was good. I’m happy with that, but I want to make sure that we can play 90, 45 minutes at a time. We need to keep the attitude positive going forward.” Registering his first goals of the season, junior defender Zach Mathers provided all the offense for the Blue Devils (5-3-1). Duke and Appalachian State (3-5-1) accumulated 19 and 15 fouls, respectively, during the match, with the Blue Devils capitalizing on their chances to fight it out in the box. Mathers’ first opportunity came in the 21st minute when, while trying to create a look for a teammate, he inadvertently chipped the ball over the Mountaineer goalkeeper and put Duke up 1-0. “It was meant to be a cross, but it

ended up working well for me,” Mathers said. “I was looking for someone at the back post and it just came up off my toe. The goalie wasn’t expecting it. It was awesome.” The leadership of senior captain Sean Davis, sidelined with a leg injury, was absent against the Mountaineers, but Mathers and other teammates stepped up to provide guidance for the young Blue Devil squad during the tough match. “Nat Eggleston worked his socks off

today in encouraging our young guys,” Kerr said. “They work hard, and we make mistakes sometimes, but overall they did a good job.” Duke controlled the pace for much of the first half, limiting the Mountaineers to only two shots on goal in the opening period.

Maguire, Boutier lead Duke to top-5 finish Sameer Pandhare Staff Writer Duke knew it would need big performances from its top golfers as it faced arguably the deepest field in the history of the Annika Intercollegiate tournament. After three solid rounds this weekend, there is no doubt that the Blue Devils got the memo. Riding strong performances from junior Celine Boutier and freshman Leona Maguire, Duke placed fifth overall in the 10-team tournament at the Watson Course at the Reunion Resort in Orlando, Fla. “I think it was a good ball-striking tournament,” Duke head coach Dan Brooks said. “I don’t think the greens were conducive to making a lot of putts, but we were able to put the ball right at the pin or real close to the pin.” Although the return of Boutier for her first collegiate tournament of the season was one of the biggest stories surrounding the Blue

Sitting in the press box at Sun Life Stadium watching Duke and Miami play one of the ugliest football games I can remember, I could only think one thing—these guys are playing some great music. Despite the lack of quality on the field that night, the home crowd was rocking, and a big part of that had to do with a stellar soundtrack put together by Miami’s gameday team. Bad football and pouring rain aside, they found a way to turn an old, decrepit football stadium into a South Beach nightclub. And it got me thinking: If I could create an album comprised of the greatest stadium tracks of all-time, what would it sound like? Quick note on my criteria, I’m placing an emphasis on songs that pump the crowd up or add intensity to the gameday atmosphere. I’m also omitting songs that only bear a significance to a single team (nobody who isn’t at Duke wants to hear “Every Time We Touch” at a game). Here’s my best attempt at an ultimate stadium playlist. People who run the music at Wallace Wade, take notes. Stadium Classics: The songs you don’t mind hearing at almost every game because they’re just that good. “Eye of the Tiger” (Survivor)—If it’s good enough to get Rocky Balboa pumped up, it’s good enough for you too. “Crazy Train” (Ozzy Osbourne)—Equal parts crazy intense and intensely crazy. “Jump Around” (House of Pain)—Who doesn’t love to feel a stadium shake beneath your feet? Wisconsin football fans do this at Camp Randall Stadium every Saturday before the fourth quarter and cause a small earthquake. “Welcome to the Jungle” (Guns N’ Roses)—This song is simply a classic. Hearing it just makes you want to scream like Axl Rose. “Enter Sandman” (Metallica)—Aside from this being the theme song for nearly every notable closer in MLB history (namely Mariano Rivera), there’s something about this opening guitar rift that makes your blood boil. “Seven Nation Army” (The White Stripes)—Ironically, The White Stripes probably hate the fact that one of their songs has become a mainstream stadium anthem. Their fault for writing a seven-note line that is so easy to lose your voice to.

Devils in Orlando, the performance of Maguire stole the show. A freshman from Cavan, Ireland, Maguire used a strong performance on day two of the tournament to catapult her to an eight-under-par overall score for the tournament and a second-place finish. With the Blue Devils sitting in eighth as a team after round one, Maguire shot six-under-par in the second round—just one of many great Blue Devil performances on the day—and helped Duke climb to fifth by the end of play Monday. Although Maguire would eventually fall one shot short of tournament winner Justine Dreher from South Carolina, the performance was Maguire’s best this season. “She was literally inches from the hole on her approach shot on many holes,” Brooks said. “She’s got a fantastic swing, she works really hard and she’s got a great long game, and that adds up to low scores.” See W. Golf on Page 9

PLAYLIST

continued from page 7 “Baba O’Reilly” (The Who)—Far and away the oldest song on this list (released in 1971), but if the introduction to this song doesn’t get you amped up it probably means you don’t have a pulse. AC/DC: If you’re wondering why one band gets its own category, you’ll understand after reading their section. “Hells Bells” (AC/DC)—Best played right before the opening kickoff or third down. When the bells begin to toll, you know it’s time to get loud. “Thunderstruck” (AC/DC)—Big bass kicks plus chanting plus a song with its own drinking game? What football stadium doesn’t need that? “Back in Black” (AC/DC)—Obviously best suited for a night game, but you can play the first 10 seconds of this song on a continuous loop and it will be appropriate at any time of day. “TNT” (AC/DC)—This song has a way of building without building. The intro gets you in the zone and keeps the track so grounded that by the chorus, get ready for an explosion. “Highway to Hell” (AC/DC)—Perfect for letting the opposing team know that they’re in you’re house and they’re in for a long game. “You Shook Me All Night Long” (AC/DC)—Less of a pump-up track, but a song that drives and has a chorus so catchy that people will sing along even if they don’t know the words. Hip-Hop: Often an underutilized genre (especially in football stadiums), but might get you the most fired up. “Let’s Go” (Trick Daddy ft. Twista & Lil Jon)—Combines the excellent sampling of Crazy Train with more bass, Lil Jon screaming and your friend pretending he can keep up with Twista for more than a few seconds. “Lose Yourself” (Eminem)—An all-time great intro to pump you up, plus the fact that anybody under 30 knows a good portion of the lyrics. “Till I Collapse” (Eminem ft. Nate Dogg)—Everything about this song should get you completely amped, including the minute-long monologue at the beginning. This is the type of music you want to hear heading into the fourth quarter. “Ready for War” (50 Cent ft. Eminem, Dr. Dre, 2pac)— The title here says it all. This track has the boom-boomclap appeal of Queen’s We Will Rock You (but a lot less annoying) and doubles as a lesson in rap history with verses from two of the genre’s pioneers. “Never Scared” (Bone Crusher ft. Killer Mike & T.I.)—Like most people, I first heard this track on the soundtrack of Madden 2004. A nice, angry hook that

simultaneously evokes memories of how unstoppable Michael Vick was in that game. “We Ready” (Archie Eversole ft.

its physicality to wrangle more possessions away from Duke. One of the Mountaineers’ first chances came in the 13th minute, when Appalachian State striker Donovan Japp drove a breakaway ball into the corner only to have it deflected off the chest of a Blue Devil defender. “In Tuesday night games the other team’s always going to try to rough us up a little bit,” Mathers said. “I thought our defense stayed strong though, we got the shutout, so I think we did great matching their physicality.” Goalkeeper Joe Ohaus stayed strong against a hungry Appalachian State offense, thwarting multiple comeback attempts in the second half. Ohaus finished with three saves in 85 minutes. “His positioning, his holding of the ball, his decision-making was solid,” Kerr said. Appalachian State’s aggression continued well into the second period, creating good looks but failing to capitalize on them. The Mountaineers took two free kicks in the second half but both went harmlessly over the goal. After Japp was ejected following his second yellow card in the 75th minute, the Mountaineers struggled to maintain their attack playing a man down. After the Blue Devils were fouled in the box in the 80th minute and Mathers rocketed the ensuing penalty kick into the left corner of the net, Duke’s 2-0 lead proved insurmountable. “It was huge for us—I knew if I scored we’d go up 2-0 with ten minutes left,” Mathers said. “We wanted to try to get the second goal earlier, but we still closed out the game.” The Blue Devils will look to build on the momentum of two straight shutouts when they return to their ACC slate to take on Wake Forest and No. 11 Virginia in the coming weeks. Both of those matches will be played on the road, a setting in which the Blue Devils have yet to collect a single victory this year. “We’ve given up a lot of goals this season—to have two straight shutouts is a big plus,” Kerr said. “Maintaining our starts to the game is a very big plus. We’re taking baby steps moving forward. It’s going to be a big couple weeks for us ahead, and we’re really looking forward to the game against Wake.”

continued from page 7 Competing against some of the top golfers in the nation, Duke had little margin for error early in the tournament. Yet after Sunday’s first round, the Blue Devils found themselves in eighth place, 13 shots behind first-place Arizona. However, the breakthrough performance by Maguire and the consistency of Boutier on day two helped Duke shoot two-under-par as a team and climb back into contention. Boutier,—who shot oneunder-par Sunday and Monday—came on strong in the final round, posting a score of 68 on the par-72 course and pushing to a third-place finish in the tournament. “I would characterize Celine as a rock because she is such a solid player, ” Brooks said. “She’s taken all this experience that she’s gained and just learned all that she can and she’s developed into a very, very solid player.” Sandy Choi—fresh off her victory in the Cougar Classic and being named Golfweek Player of the Week—got off to a promising start in her final round before hitting a rough patch. The sophomore was one-under-par through her first 12 holes Tuesday, but settled for four straight bogeys that dropped her to eight-over-par for the tournament and a 42nd-place finish. The rest of the Blue Devil lineup struggled to find a groove, but showed flashes of promise throughout the weekend. Junior Yi Xiao from China was able to slowly get in a rhythm early in her final round after slow starts in rounds one and two but finished 18-over-par. Freshman Lisa Maguire responded well to two early double-bogeys Tuesday and was able to regroup to finish tied for 55th overall at 16-over-par. For Brooks, the lasting image of the tournament was the tremendous ball striking of Boutier and Leona Maguire—both of whom consistently hit greens and fairways throughout the three days. “I think my game has been getting better and better every day,” Boutier said. “I’m just really happy with my long game because my irons were really straight and I could hit it where I wanted it to be.” Boutier’s top-five finish for was nothing new for the defending ACC Player of the Year. Nevertheless, success in the

early season tournament gave the junior an additional boost of confidence as the season continues. “Each round you play helps you know yourself a little better and your own strengths and weaknesses, ” Boutier said. “You don’t get as nervous as you used to and you just know that you’ve been there before.” The Blue Devils will look to use their performance in Orlando as a stepping-stone on the way to a successful season. Duke next competes in the Tar Heel Invitational Oct. 10-12.

he human voice figures prominently in the theory of Indian--Hindustani--classical music. In the Hindustani tradition, all other instruments are seen as striving to emulate the human voice. I think theorists of Indian classical music have hit upon something that applies in non-musical contexts as well. Even if they’re not singing, our voices can have a powerful emotional intensity, and this can be a source of immense positive change. Activism is a great example of this process at work. While they might not always be taken completely seriously, members of those communities affected by a given issue (e.g. the LGBTQ community or women) have an important place in the public forum where they can make the rest of us aware of the difficulties they face. In other words, they have their voices at their disposal.

But the scale and severity of animal suffering should force us to think deeply about our actions. As an example of the scale, note that in 2009, the US produced 8.6 billion broiler chickens (the ones we use for meat), the vast majority of which lived miserable lives spanning only 5-7 weeks. If that fails to stun you, consider this--egg-laying hens are slaughtered after their first year of egg-laying because they become less productive in their second year and it’s just cheaper to raise new chickens. The point is that I don’t think we fully realize the needlessness of the suffering in which we are implicit, and it’s something we should at least reckon with face-to-face. Just as in the previous case, the (literal, this time) voicelessness of animals guarantees that the issue will be raised only if we decide it should be.

Eugene Rabinovich ARE WE THERE YET? There is a perception that activism is a “fight against the system.” But that isn’t quite right—it’s actually a sign that democracy is doing its job. Democracy gives people a place to raise their voices about those issues that concern them. But what about those without a voice? In my book, our greatest ethical lapses are towards precisely those entities that have no voice in our—read: American—public discourse. Among the voiceless, there are three groups in particular that demand attention. I’ve talked about a couple of these groups briefly in one of my summer columns, and my next columns will be devoted to fleshing out all the details, but it’s worthwhile to sketch some of the ideas here. First on the list are non-Americans. While we’ve made great strides in our understanding of our moral relationship to members of other countries in both the private and public sectors, I still think we have quite a bit to go. As an example, consider that in 2012, the US donated 0.19 percent of its Gross National Income to Official Development Aid, about 3.5 times less than the UN’s goal of 0.7 percent. One reductive statistic isn’t going to be the end of the conversation, but I just want to give an idea of a way we can make significant improvements in our relationship to the suffering of non-Americans, especially if we commit ourselves to effective aid. I suspect one of the biggest impediments to this improvement is the absence of non-Americans from American political discourse. In a similar vein, we want to believe that the human/animal distinction is a meaningful moral one. It’s how we rationalize the way we treat animals.

The third group of voiceless entities is in a quite different category from the first two--it’s those who haven’t yet been born. This debate is of direct relevance to environmentalism--if it’s morally okay to, by our present actions, contribute to the creation of a world where people born 50 years from now are suffering (from, say, high temperatures or the need to constantly relocate to avoid rising water levels), then some of the ethical weight of environmentalism is lost. As I see it, though, we do have an obligation to future people, though once again, their profound voicelessness is one of the biggest reasons we don’t care enough about the environment. Given that there are such wide classes of beings with no voice in our public forums, it’s extremely important for us to critically consider our relationship to them, because their voicelessness can let us get away with doing them serious harm. We find ourselves in a position of great power over the lives of others with little or no mechanisms for self-correction when we misuse this power. For both nonhuman animals and future people, the voicelessness is inevitable. That’s why the onus is on us. Consider this a call to action. Think deeply about the ways in which you’ve been implicit in the neglect and exploitation of voiceless beings, and ask yourself what you can do to change that. Only then will we be able to hear their inner clamoring. Eugene Rabinovich is a Trinity senior. His column runs every other Wednesday.

Wealth and will

ow do you create a place like Duke? Two weekends ago we celebrated Founders’ Day, and as I was sitting in the Chapel for the Convocation service this question came into my head. What things do you need to build something like Duke? We have had no shortage of people with a passion for teaching—an absolute prerequisite. We have had thousands of intellectually curious students with a passion for learning—another necessity. Natural born innovators and problem solvers abound among both and have helped to make the University flourish. But there’s something else. Money. It almost seems callous to say it, but a school like Duke doesn’t become what it is without money—lots and lots of it. In order to attract the best faculty in the world, a university must offer the best facilities and funding for research. An excellent library,

the truth is that Duke wouldn’t exist without money. It wouldn’t have been able to get those exceptional people were it not for the massive amounts of capital it could muster. Say what we will about inherent drive, outrageous ambition and intellectual pursuit—it takes money to run a top-ten research university. Duke might be an example of American capitalism gone right. The Dukes were industrialists who were able to accumulate a great amount of personal wealth. They then gave much of it to worthy causes like Duke and other schools, hospitals in North and South Carolina and a number of orphanages. In the case of our University, one family’s wealth was put to use to benefit thousands and thousands more. But don’t mistake me for a free-market absolutist—I know that capitalism doesn’t always go right. There are systemic inequalities

Rewriting a story without words

t some point during my early years in middle school, I lost my voice. It’s hard for me to explain how it happened because I’m reluctant to relive that life I once lived. Why would I ever unearth a corpse that was buried long ago and have its specter haunt me again? It’s because I don’t have a choice. William Faulkner writes that the past is never dead—it’s not even past. Our construction of the “now” as a static interval of time is a myth—what we perceive as the present is not an isolated moment, but rather a dynamic nexus between the shifting currents of past and future. If the past isn’t dead, then it’s very much alive and moving within our lives today. All of us labor under the weight of memories we’d like to forget. Some are consumed forever by an oppression that never ceases to plague them, while others repress the echoes of their hurt to a silence. But just because I now live with a voice of my own doesn’t mean the memory of my muteness

THE MIDDLE GROUND

WHAT’S IN A NARRATIVE?

fully equipped labs and enough cash for compensation are must-haves. In order to attract the best students, the University must be able to offer plenty of opportunities for global engagement, extra funding for independent projects, the best facilities—including non-academic ones like residence halls, dining options and recreational facilities. The university must be able to make tuition affordable for those who make the cut. And then there are big scholarships to entice the most sought-after applicants. In order to understand how Duke has become so prestigious in such short order, we need look no further than our school’s name. The Duke family was one of the wealthiest families in America during the first decades of the 20th century. Washington Duke and his sons J.B. and B.N. made it big in the family tobacco business, later doing well in the hydropower industry too. They oversaw a tobacco firm which controlled a huge majority of the world’s market—somewhere around 80 percent--and was active all over Europe and Asia in addition to the United States. The Dukes were wealthy. Really wealthy. But they didn’t just sit on their money. In 1924 James B. Duke established the Duke Endowment, part of which was directed toward the newly renamed Duke University. His original donation was $40 million, well over $500 million in today’s dollars. At his death in 1925 another $67 million—over $700 million today—was added to the Endowment. And the Dukes weren’t the only ones. For instance, cotton magnate Julian S. Carr donated all of the land for Duke’s East Campus when Trinity College relocated to Durham. Many people have played a role in bringing Duke to the prestige it can claim today. Professors, administrators, students and employees have all done their part to build this school up, and it wouldn’t be a world-class institution without them. But, uncomfortable though it may be,

that prevent people from making a living wage. Barriers to education, healthcare and political power along lines of race and gender are often reinforced by the “free” market. We should be honest about the faults of capitalism. Even so, we as Duke students have to be careful lest we vilify wealth and those that have it. Capitalism should not only be associated with imperialism and colonialism, nor should personal wealth be automatically associated with greed and spoils. All of us – whether students, professors, employees or alumni— have benefited from the massive wealth of J.B. Duke, Melinda French Gates and David Rubenstein. The list could go on. I say all of this to complicate the matter and keep it honest within the Duke context. For all of the faults we might find in a capitalist economy, we also must confront the fact that our University’s wealth began with the endowment of a tobacco millionaire. The financial aid from which many of us benefit comes from an endowment begun by one of America’s richest capitalists and continually augmented by those who have graduated and become wealthy in their own right. As we walk past the statues of J.B., B.N. or Washington Duke, we have to remember that this campus and this University may not have existed at all without a gigantic amount of capital concentrated in one family. So how do you create a place like Duke? Money is part of the answer. But money doesn’t do the research, write the books or teach the classes that make Duke what it is. Duke’s success has come from putting a lot of money behind the people who have the drive to do these important things. The joining of wealth and will—that, it seems to me, is our claim to fame.

is gone. Still it lingers like stagnant water in the wells of the soul. Silence cannot break a harmful narrative--it only hides what is still there. When I was 11 years old, I remember spending my days at school alone. Around me the other kids would talk and laugh together, and deep inside I wished I could join in and be happy, as they seemed to be. I didn’t smile much in those days—if I did the expression felt foreign on my face, like I was trying to mold a piece of clay that was already hardened. I often wondered what I was doing wrong. Maybe I never learned the right way to make friends. Maybe there wasn’t anyone out there who shared my interests. Or maybe my introverted personality had predestined me to a life of loneliness. As these musings swirled around me, a deeper narrative soon emerged, one that encompassed all of my tormenting self-doubts. It was a narrative of race. I began to see in my mind the caricature of a boy whose qualities resonated more and more with my own. Academic achievement, deficiency in social skills, submissiveness to those around me…these reified characteristics reduced me into a person without a personality, without a voice to call mine. They weren’t stereotypes to me—they became my truth. I started believing in the very narratives that I didn’t want to hear. The reason I didn’t have friends at school was because I didn’t want any. The reason I couldn’t talk to the other kids was because I didn’t have a voice. The reason I felt insignificant as a person was because I was not a full person. It was the first time I recognized and resented myself for my race. Although I’ve since overcome these insecurities, the silence hasn’t ceased to infiltrate my identity with echoes of degradation. It blurs the line between who I am and who I’m perceived to be. Am I introverted because of my personality or because I’ve unknowingly adopted the role that others expect from those who look like me? Oftentimes I feel like I have to forsake my race just so I can become my own person. Why must I destroy myself to become myself? Narratives can be both a blessing and a curse. It’s what makes them so human. They have the power to build up or tear down, to enfranchise or dispossess. But too often they’ve induced people to estrange themselves, to believe self-destructively in the words that hurt them. I wonder how we can embrace the healing power of words without using them to cause further harm. A close friend and I recently shared a conversation about his thoughts on enlisting in the U.S. military after graduation from Duke. He explained that following 9/11, the conversation surrounding Arab-Americans like him has been one of suspicion and oppression. As a people they’ve been silenced, forced to listen to non-Arabs talking incessantly about the Middle East while being stripped of the agency to speak on their own behalf. By serving within the very military body that has symbolically engendered so much hatred on both sides, he hopes to contribute to a shift in discourse, so that one day the perception of Arabs as intruders on American soil will be replaced with a new narrative that embraces them simply as people. I believe this is the approach we must take. It’s not enough simply to ignore the words that hurt us. True healing comes about when we dig up our stories from the silence and rewrite them in our own words, not in the language of our oppressors. Just as my friend strives to reconstruct a broken part of his story, so we, as a storytelling species, are called to recognize the power we hold in our discourse and use it to build, rather than destroy. The Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa once wrote, “To narrate is to create, while to live is merely to be lived.” Humans weren’t born to confine themselves into a narrative; narratives were born to expand the creative potential of humans. Yet too many of us have been stripped bare of our voices—in response, let’s now search for a narrative that can clothe these wounds in robes of dignity.

Wang, for example, was approached by the non-profit organization Life Solutions to work on a water filter project
