Thu Nguyen | The Chronicle State House speaker Thom Tillis narrowly defeated Senator Kay Hagan in one of the nation’s most watched Senate races Tuesday evening.

Republican Thom Tillis narrowly defeated Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan in the race for North Carolina’s Senate seat as the GOP took control of Congress in the midterm elections.

The race—which was prominently featured in the national spotlight due to its back-and-forth battle and the significant amount of funding from outside sources—was too close to call until late Tuesday night. Tillis, the N.C. speaker of the House, won with 48.88 percent of the vote. Hagan received 47.20 percent, and Libertarian Sean Haugh garnered the remaining 3.74 percent. The race was tight until Tillis pulled away with approximately 95 percent of precincts reporting—the Associated Press the first to call the race for Tillis at 11:25 p.m.

“We refused to lose, and that’s why I’m standing here before you.... We’re going to make this country great again,” Tillis said in his acceptance speech in Charlotte.

partment of Health and Human Services when he was admitted indicated that he did not have the Ebola virus. Until further tests are conducted, the patient will continue to be held in isolation. During a conference call Monday, state officials said that the patient had shown no further symptoms of Ebola beyond fever.

“The patient is here and in stable condition,” said Dr. Lisa Pickett, chief medical officer of Duke Hospital.

Although state officials have said that the patient does not have any symptoms beyond a fever, Pickett refused to comment further on the patient’s condition, citing patient privacy requirements.

Pickett said that the same blood test that was carried out on Sunday will be repeated on Wednesday to make a final

Fees levied “at a rate that would surely handicap students beyond their time here” Rachel Chason University Editor In a moment of solidarity across representatives from each of Duke’s nine graduate and professional schools, a resolution urging administration to eliminate continuation fees for doctoral students was approved by the Graduate and Professional Student Council.

Currently, the fee—approximately $6,324 per year for humanities Ph.D. students beyond their fifth year of study—is one of the highest compared to peer institutions, GPSC announced

in a press release Tuesday. The resolution suggested that rather than act as an incentive for students to finish on time, the fee provides an unnecessary financial burden that could slow students’ progress as they take on more responsibilities to cover the cost of living.

“Finishing within the allotted time is a goal worth striving for,” Anita Bateman, GPSC General Assembly representative, said in the release. “If one does not reach it, however, the punishment should not be exorbitant fees levied by the Graduate School at their discretion and at a rate that would surely handicap students beyond their time here at Duke.”

Butterfield retains House seat in landslide victory “I am gratified to receive a vote of confidence, so we can...fight to empower families,” says Butterfield Jenna Zhang Local & National Editor Democratic incumbent G.K. Butterfield was re-elected to the U.S House of Representatives Tuesday in a landslide victory, with nearly three-quarters of the vote.

Butterfield won re-election in the 1st Congressional District of North Carolina—which encompasses part of Durham County, including Duke—with 73 percent of the vote against Republican challenger Arthur Rich. He took 87 percent of the vote in Durham, winning 41,000 of 47,143 eligiG.K. Butterfield ble ballots in the county, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

“I am gratified to receive a vote of confidence so we can continue to fight to empower families,” Butterfield said in a statement Tuesday night.

A native of eastern North Carolina, Butterfield won his sixth term to the 1st Congressional District—though this is the second time that Durham falls into his constituency. During the congressional redistricting after the 2010 census, the 1st Congressional District expanded to include part of Durham County, which tends to vote heavily Democratic.

Butterfield’s victory margin remains constant with those in the previous years he was up for election. In 2010, he won with 75 percent of the vote.

His platform included increasing taxes for higher-income families and reducing government regulations in the private sector. Butterfield has supported the Affordable Healthcare Act and advocated for capping carbon emissions through the market. He has also consistently supported legalization of same-sex

marriage, women’s right to abortion and the absolute right to gun ownership.

Butterfield is currently the chief deputy whip of the House Democratic Caucus and first vice chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. He serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and Arthur Rich the Subcommittees on Health, Communications and Technology, and Oversight and Investigations.

He previously served in the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and

Trade.

Rich, a tax accountant and business consultant, ran on a job development platform, emphasizing his difficult upbringing. His platform included proposals for job creation and an overhaul of the unemployment benefits system. He launched an unsuccessful primary bid to be the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of North Carolina in 2012. Rich has never held public office before.

The results of the North Carolina congressional midterm elections Tuesday showed a clear victory for incumbents, with all 10 incumbents up for reelection winning their respective dis-

tricts. Republicans Mark Walker and David Rouzer and Democrat Alma Adams won in the 6th, 7th and 12th congressional districts, respectively, where there were no incumbents up for election. Of the 13 congressional races, Republicans won 10 and Democrats won three.

According to the North Carolina Board of Elections, midterm voter participation in the state set a record. Approximately 2.71 million voters cast ballots Tuesday compared to 2.7 million voters in 2010, the Board of Elections said, despite changes in voter laws restricting registration. For the first time since 1925, voters were unable to cast straight-ticket ballots.

‘It’s staying close and it’s been a lot of fun’ Georgia Parke Executive Digital Editor

Nicole Savage | The Chronicle Students turned out for an election watch party hosted by campus political organizations at the Loop Bar Tuesday evening.

Nicole Savage | The Chronicle

Students took to the Loop Bar Tuesday night to watch as midterm election results rolled in.

Watching on dual screens featuring both CNN and Fox News, students across a variety of political denominations turned out to the watch party event hosted by Duke Political Review, Duke Political Union and Connect2Politics. For several hours the room was filled with chatter and applause when race results were announced in favor of both Republicans and Democrats. Several of the major races—including Republican Thom Tillis’ victory against Democrat incumbent Kay Hagan in the race for U.S. Senate—were not announced until very late in the evening and many students waited until the end to see.

“It’s staying close and it’s been a lot of fun,” Jacob Zionce, a senior and co-editor in chief of DPR. Zionce said he was happy with the turnout and the diversity of affiliations of the people who came.

Early in the night it was evident that the night would bring a slew of Republican victories. As major races were called in favor of the GOP, some students walked out in the middle of the applause.

“I’m here for the N.C. [Senate] race, which is not going well,” said sophomore Sai Panguluri as results on screen noted Tillis—who serves as speaker of the N.C. House—polling several thousand votes ahead of Hagan. “There were definitely more people here for Democrats before.

Some of them are getting out of here because it’s not obviously going to go well.”

Although the room was filled with many Republican supporters, some students were modest about showing their support.

“I’m high fiving people very quietly,” said Momin Ghaffar, a senior and vice president of Duke College Republicans. “I thought it wasn’t going to be as good as it’s going to be…. The adrenaline’s starting to kick in.”

Several students noted that they had come for the N.C. Senate race in particular, such as freshman Callie Fry who said she “just didn’t want Thom Tillis to win,” but others were also closely following key races in their home states.

Sophomore Zach Gorwitz said he was upset that Rick Scott won the gubernatorial race in his home state of Florida, as he believes Scott has not done a good job as incumbent especially with respect to blocking education spending.

Junior Sam Skinner had his laptop open at the bar in order to track the Illinois gubernatorial race as results came in countyby-county. He said he supported Republican Bruce Rauner, the eventual winner, mainly because of Rauner’s economic policies.

“A problem for Illinois especially for my generation is the state deficit. [Raunner would] raise sales taxes in Chicago and I think his plan will cut state spending and bring Illinois back.” Skinner said.

Other attendees at the party were focused on more local results. Freshman Colleen Sharp said she had been following the See Party on Page 13

“The reason that we repeat the test in 72 hours is because if they’re going to turn positive, then by that time they should have a high enough viral load that it should turn the test positive,” Pickett explained.

If the test comes back negative, Pickett said that the patient will be removed from isolation and treated like any other patient at the hospital.

Pickett emphasized, however, that until the next round of testing is completed, Duke Hospital is continuing to treat the patient as if he has Ebola. All staff and equipment involved in the patient’s care are not involved in the treatment of any other patient in the hospital, she said.

“The rest of the patients throughout the health system are completely safe from this,” Pickett said. “These providers are not providing care to any other patients.”

State officials have also said that the patient’s movements and contacts will continue to be traced until the next round of tests come back negative.

The patient, who has been identified only as a male, arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport from Liberia Friday. He displayed no symptoms of the virus when he took a bus to Durham, but developed a fever Sunday morning after traveling to nearby Person County. A special EMS unit transported him back to Durham, where he was admitted to Duke Hospital.

Pickett said that students should have no reason to worry about any potential danger.

“I feel 100 percent comfortable about that,” she said.

The best thing that students and the general public can do to reduce their risk of becoming ill is to get their yearly flu shot, Pickett said. Doing this could also reduce the risk of false Ebola scares as cold and flu season picks up.

“As we get into cold and flu season there will be more people with fevers, and in particular some people in the University who may have traveled,” Pickett said.

“The best outcome for students throughout the University and faculty is to get their flu shots to prevent them from getting the flu and being worried about it.”

continued from page 1 Republicans who were looking to take control of the Senate. Republicans walked away from Election Night maintaining majority in the House and taking control of the Senate— with Tillis clinching one of the coveted seats for the Republicans.

The outcome of the race surprised some, with several projections maintaining that Hagan would win until the last precincts reported their results.

“I thought that Hagan would’ve hung on to win, but it would be very close,” said David Rohde, the Ernestine Friedl professor of political science.

The race also drew national attention because Kay Hagan of outside funding—ultimately becoming the most expensive Senate race to date. Rohde, however, did not attribute spending as a major influence on the outcome of the election.

“I don’t know that spending had any impact at all. Both sides had plenty of opportunity to make their cases,” Rohde said.

Voter turnout hit a record high for a midterm year, with more than 2.71 million of North Carolina’s 6.6 million registered voters casting ballots in the Senate race. The figure represents a slight uptick from the 2010 midterm, when 2.70 million ballots were cast, according to the state Board of Elections.

Early voter turnout also increased, despite a new law that cut the early voting period from 17 days to 10. The number of people who voted early increased by more than 20 percent, the board of elections noted.

The race was also impacted by third-party candidate Haugh, a Libertarian from Dur-

ham. Haugh consistently polled in the mid-single digits leading up to the election, and drew 3.73 percent of the vote on election day—enough votes to impact a race as close as Hagan-Tillis.

Rohde said it is “hard to say” whether the addition Sean Haugh of Haugh as a third party candidate had more of a negative impact on Hagan or Tillis.

“Some voters who turned out to vote for Haugh may not have turned out otherwise,” Rohde noted.

In his acceptance speech, Tillis credited his victory to dedicated volunteers—praising their efforts amid what he described as a particularly negative campaign.

He also looked to capitalize on the momentum of the nationwide GOP victory in his speech.

“We have swept this nation with a compelling Senate majority,” Tillis said to a crowd of supporters who chanted “USA” repeatedly.

Hagan’s concession speech, from her hometown of Greensboro, remained positive.

She informed her supporters that she had congratulated Tillis and would work with him to have a smooth transition.

“I will always be grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me,” Hagan said. “Y’all, it’s been fabulous.”

Hagan ended with a positive outlook of her term, saying her political work is not yet done.

With a dominant force down low, Duke’s wings stand to reap the rewards this season.

In its first action of the season against outside competition, Duke did just what was expected of it Tuesday night—dominate Livingstone.

The Blue Devils received a major boost from their freshmen and sophomore guard Matt Jones as No. 4 Duke rolled past the Blue Bears 115-58 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Tuesday’s exhibition allowed Duke fans and the Blue Devil staff their first look at the 2014-15 squad against an actual opponent, and though it came at the expense of Division II Livingstone, it did not take long to see the team’s potential.

“We were pleased about tonight. I thought our effort was outstanding,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “They enjoyed playing with one another tonight, good effort, and now we need to come back on Saturday and build.”

By the time the first 20 minutes had passed, the Blue Devils found themselves with a 56-14 lead and an unexpected offensive leader.

Sophomore Matt Jones got off to a hot start, scoring eight points in the first five minutes, including a pair of 3-pointers. He was not done there, however, as he would finish the

and the next one’s going in.”

The Blue Devils employed a platoon system Tuesday night, as Jones, Jefferson and freshmen Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow—who led all scorers with 19 points— got the start for the Blue Devils.

They were then replaced by senior Quinn Cook, junior Rasheed Sulaimon, freshman Grayson Allen, sophomore Semi Ojeleye and

Last year, the two biggest issues for the Blue Devils were consistent ball movement and allowing dribble penetration.

Duke assisted on just 54.8 percent of its field goals, its leading distributor only averaged 4.4 assists per game and the Blue Devils allowed opponents to shoot 45.6 percent and gave up 67.4 points per game—the 104thranked mark in the country.

Those trends are poised to be reversed this season.

Duke dominated Livingstone 115-58 Tuesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and although many expected the Blue Devils to beat the Division II Blue Bears by more than 50 points, the numbers provide reason for optimism as the regular season approaches.

Last year, Duke played two Division II opponents—Bowie State and Drury—in exhibition contests. The Blue Devils surrendered 132 points in the two games and allowed both teams to shoot 43.9 percent from the floor.

On the offensive end, Duke combined for

game with 17 points—including an impressive first-half showing in which he was 4-of-4 from long range. This comes after a disappointing rookie campaign in which he hit just three treys throughout the season. “[Jones] puts in the extra reps and he puts in the time, and that’s what it takes,” junior Amile Jefferson said. “He has the right mindset. He doesn’t get down on himself when he’s missing—he has a shooter’s mentality. He misses one, he forgets it

The Blue Devils (8-8-1, 4-4-0 in the ACC) will enter Wednesday’s match playing some of their best soccer of the season.

“The Virginia Tech game was a great confidence builder for us,” head coach John Kerr said. “Being able to come back to Koskinen for our first game of the ACC tournament is a huge benefit because we’re very comfortable at home.”

Duke has played well down the stretch despite injuries to freshman goalkeeper Joe Ohaus and junior midfielder Zach Mathers, both of whom have started for the majority of the season. Ohaus is waiting to be cleared from concussion symptoms and Mathers, one of the team’s co-captains, recently tore his MCL. One of the big stories of the previous few weeks for the Blue Devils has been Wilson Fisher, the senior goalkeeper who has stood in for Ohaus during the team’s last four matches.

Blue Devils to meet Syracuse for first time as ACC foes Zac Elder Beat Writer A Duke versus Syracuse matchup with national implications normally means a basketball game, but not this weekend.

The No. 22 Blue Devils will look to stay in contention for a spot in this season’s college football playoff by takNo. 22 ing care of business Duke against the strugvs. gling Orange at the Syracuse Carrier Dome Saturday at 12:30 p.m.

SATURDAY, 12:30 p.m.

“Syracuse is an Carrier Dome interesting team,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “They’ve got a lot of veteran players in the locker room.

They’ve got some depth, and they play a lot of people in a lot of areas on offense and defense. They’ve got some people that can run; this is another big, physical offensive and defensive front.”

It is that large Syracuse offensive line and power running game that has the Blue Devils (7-1, 3-1 in the ACC) most worried following a weekend of disastrous run defense against Pittsburgh.

The Panthers ran for 394 yards, and tailback James Conners was all but unstoppable, running for 263 yards and three

touchdowns on 38 carries.

The Orange (3-6, 1-4) present a duo of running backs capable of putting up big numbers on the ground. Prince Tyson-Gulley and Adonis Ameen-Moore have combined to rush for 851 yards, averaging 4.9 and 5.8 yards per carry, respectively. Tyson-Gulley and AmeenMoore operate behind a sizable offen-

sive front, much like that of the Panthers, and provide a potent one-two punch for Syracuse.

If Duke can keep the Orange’s running game in check, unlike last weekend in Pittsburgh, then Syracuse will be forced to rely on freshman quarterback A.J. Long to keep pace with the Blue Devil offense.

Long took over for Terrel Hunt a week af-

ter the redshirt junior suffered a fractured fibula in his left leg in the fourth quarter of the Orange’s Oct. 3 loss to Louisville.

Since then, Long has struggled to find a rhythm, throwing six interceptions and just four touchdown passes.

Unlike Syracuse, which has been highly prone to turnovers this season, especially with Long under center, Duke’s trademark this year has been taking care of the football. The Blue Devils’ five turnovers are tied for the lowest total in the nation. Duke has also allowed the fewest sacks per game and fewest tackles for loss per game of any team in the country.

This offensive efficiency has allowed the Blue Devils to win close games even when opponents out-gain them on offense, as Pittsburgh, Virginia and Georgia Tech all did in the month of October.

“Football is an interesting game— more games are lost than they are won,” Cutcliffe said. “Unforced errors is the way you would say it in tennis. In football, you have to work hard to avoid them. You’re going to have mistakes. We’re not going to go crazy over a turnover because the defense can cause a turnover. You just can’t have unforced errors.”

Of late, Duke quarterback Anthony Boone has been especially efficient leading the Blue Devil offense. The redshirt senior has not See Football on Page 12

redshirt junior Marshall Plumlee. The two units rotated in and out every five minutes throughout the first half.

Duke returned to a more normal substitution pattern in the second half as it played with different lineup combinations.

Okafor—recently named the AP Preseason Player of Year—led all interior players with 15 points and five rebounds, including several thunderous dunks in the second half that brought the crowd to its feet.

“It felt really good to get out there,” Okafor said of playing his first contest at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “A lot of the student body came out so it’s always fun to play in front of them.

Overall, it was just a lot of fun.”

The fans had plenty to cheer for Tuesday, as Duke put on an offensive clinic.

Cook, Ojeleye, Allen and Jefferson all also hit double-digits in scoring. Allen, who had just two points in the first half, found his shooting stroke in the second period, going 3-of-4 from long range to finish with 15 points. Many of the shots taken by Matt Jones and Allen were opened up by kick-outs from Okafor while he

was being double-teamed, leaving the team’s shooters with space to set up around the arc.

“We shot the ball well—we hit 15 threes,” Krzyzewski said. “We didn’t have to go into Jah as much because it was spread out a little bit.

There’s more room to drive and kick and if they do double-team, he can pass out of there.”

The Blue Bears—who made the two-hour trip from Salisbury, N.C.—were led by guard Cornelius Johnson, who scored a team-high 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting. Center Shawn Jackson finished the game with seven points and three rebounds.

Duke’s defense loosened its grip early in the second half, allowing 12 points in the opening 4:45 and 44 overall after allowing Livingstone to score just 14 in the first 20 minutes.

“You’re not going to hold people for 14 points,” Krzyzewski said. “I didn’t think we started out the second half with the same intensity. You’re up by 40 points at halftime—or whatever we were up—and that can happen. But I thought we regained it and played really hard.”

The Blue Devils will play again Saturday, as they return to Cameron Indoor Stadium to take on Central Missouri at 1 p.m.

BALANCE

continued from page 9 33 assists in the two contests. The Blue Devils’ combined margin of victory in the two games—52 points.

Tuesday night, Duke outscored a team that won its first conference title in school history last year 56-14 in the first half, held the Blue Bears to 24 percent shooting in the period and assisted on 25 of its 34 made field goals.

It was just an exhibition, but it was also a sign that this Blue Devil team is ready to make fans forget all about the disappointment of last season.

“Our effort was outstanding,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “[Livingstone] played really hard too. They’ve got a lot of guys that handle the ball. With the pressure we put on, they had 21 turnovers, but they still put you in different situations. The best thing about tonight besides effort was how we shared the ball. That was fun.”

Duke won by 57 points with its best player—AP Preseason Player of the Year Jahlil Okafor—taking only seven shots and only playing 21 minutes. The 6-foot-11 freshman center sparked a game-opening 13-2 run with four points and a block, but had no problem playing within the flow of the Blue Devil offense.

Okafor finished 6-of-7 for 15 points and was one of seven Duke players in double-figures. All 10 Blue Devils that saw action scored at least four points, Duke shot 53.1 percent from the field—including 64.3 percent in the second half—and the Blue Devils were 15-of32 from 3-point range.

But more important than just the impressive shooting numbers was the way Duke’s shot attempts came.

Even when the Blue Devils shot 70.4 percent against Davidson in the regular-season opener last year, they finished with just 16 assists on 38 made field goals. Rodney Hood and Jabari Parker were great players, but Duke’s offense last year was too often predicated on isolating the two and letting them go to work.

Rather than letting the natural talent on this year’s team operate individually, the Blue Devils seem to have a new go-to on the offensive end this year: ball movement.

The main reason? The attention Okafor

draws near the hoop and the vision and unselfishness of freshman point guard Tyus Jones, who had 11 assists and no turnovers late in the second half until a miscue gave him his only giveaway of the game.

The Apple Valley, Minn., native was the No. 4 recruit in the Class of 2014, but rather than forcing the issue in his first game against another team at Cameron, Jones directed traffic like a veteran and took just three shots in 26 minutes.

The 6-foot-1 speedster did not let his 0-of3 shooting mark affect the rest of his game, knocking down four free throws and adding four rebounds and two steals.

The starters surrounding the floor general went 22-of-32 from the floor and wings Justise Winslow and Matt Jones combined to go 8-of13 from beyond the arc.

“I just take what the defense gives me,” Tyus Jones said. “I enjoy setting [everyone] up and they make my job easier because they’re spacing the floor extremely well, they’re playing off of me and for the most part, they’re knocking down shots. That makes me want to get them the ball even more. I couldn’t care less about points or any stats as long as my team is winning.”

The perimeter shooting of Matt Jones and Winslow might have been the surprise of the night.

After connecting on just three of his 21 3-point attempts as a freshman despite being touted as a knock-down shooter, Jones drilled his first four 3-pointers of the game, all in the first half. Several never even touched the rim and the DeSoto, Texas, native showed no hesitation firing away from distance with more room to operate than he is used to.

Winslow—who was not noted for his ability to knock down perimeter shots— made three treys on the evening and added a long two-pointer. The 6-foot-6 swingman looked extremely comfortable given extra room on the wing.

It doesn’t seem like much, but the precision of Tyus Jones when feeding shooters in rhythm and the extra second to launch from deep as defenses collapse on Okafor allows the rest of Duke’s players to play within themselves.

Matt Jones is embracing his role as a lockdown perimeter defender and 3-point shooter who does not need many touches and Winslow—who had a team-high 19 points on

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 | 11

Lesley Chen-Young | The Chronicle Sophomore Matt Jones showcased an improved shooting stroke Tuesday night, drilling his first four shots from behind the arc after making only three in the entirety of his freshman campaign.

7-of-12 shooting, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals—is free to roam all over the court and make plays.

“That’s why I chose Duke,” Winslow said when asked about his role. “I’m happy here.

Coach just tells me to go out and make plays, regardless of the position, and be an athlete and have the versatility he knows I have.”

But the effects of Duke’s new style of play extend well beyond the starters—Tyus and Matt Jones, Winslow, Okafor and junior Amile Jefferson, who had 10 points on 3-of-3 shooting and eight rebounds.

Senior Quinn Cook was 5-of-8 for 13 points off the bench—including three 3-pointers— freshman Grayson Allen knocked down three triples in the second half and finished with 15 points and reserves Semi Ojeleye and Mar-

shall Plumlee combined for 18 points and 14 free throw attempts.

And unlike last year, when streaky guard Rasheed Sulaimon made headlines when he did not play well and sat on the bench—as occurred most famously in the Michigan game last December— most people probably didn’t even notice that the junior played just three minutes in the second half. Sulaimon finished with four points.

“He didn’t play well,” Krzyzewski said. “If a guy is not playing well, we have depth. You’ve got to play well. It’s all about that. We can’t afford people not to play well.”

A year ago, depth, pressure defense and ball movement were ideals that never fully came to fruition during the season. Now, Duke is in position to play the game the way its greatest teams have, regardless of the opponent.

FOOTBALL

continued from page 10 thrown an interception since late September against Miami and has tossed five touchdowns and completed 65 percent of his passes since the loss to the Hurricanes. Combined with Duke’s quartet of capable tailbacks—three of whom average more than five yards per carry—Boone’s efficiency has made the Blue Devil offense highly capable of matching its ACC opponents. The re-emergence of wideout Jamison Crowder last week against the Panthers—the senior caught nine passes for 165 yards and two scores after a few quiet weeks—also bodes well for a Duke offense finally starting to gel.

Much of credit for the Blue Devils’ offensive success belongs to the offense line, which has opened up massive holes for Duke’s tailbacks and has kept Boone incredibly comfortable in the pocket. Led by redshirt senior Laken Tomlinson, the Blue Devil big men will have a tough task

in slowing down Syracuse defensive tackles Ron Thompson and Eric Crume. The duo has combined for 12.5 tackles for loss and five sacks on the season.

“You teach those guys to stop the worst thing first. You can’t get beat with quick penetration,” Cutcliffe said. “[Offensive line coach John Latina] and our linemen, those guys are smart. They do a great job with that.”

One unique aspect of Saturday’s matchup between Duke and Syracuse: this weekend’s game marks the first time the Blue Devils are the favored team on the road in an ACC contest in the past two seasons.

During that span, Duke has gone 7-1, losing only to Miami earlier this year.

“The only way I’m going to put us as favored is if we practice as well as we can practice,” Cutcliffe said. “Underdog or not, if you’ve prepared well, you feel good about going to play. And if you’re favored, the only way you’re going to feel good about going to play is if you’re prepared.”

victories against Pittsburgh and Georgia State. The Blue Devils’ 2-0 shutout against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., on Halloween was Fisher’s first career shutout.

“Wilson has done a great job since he’s been introduced to the team,” Kerr said. “He’s very organized and his talking is superb. He’s playing absolutely out of his mind right now, so I’m very happy with him.”

Sophomore forward Brody Huitema has also been crucial for Duke during the team’s recent hot streak.

The Chilliwack, British Columbia, native has notched four goals and two assists in the team’s past five games.

He has five goals and five assists on the season.

N.C. State has also played well down the stretch.

The Wolfpack (7-6-4, 1-4-3) has recorded four wins and two ties in the team’s previous six matches, most notably a 2-1 victory against then-No. 5 Louisville and a 0-0 tie against Syracuse, currently the nation’s top team.

Sophomore midfielder Michael Bajza and redshirt senior forward Nick Surkamp lead N.C. State with 11 points each, though Surkamp is out for the remainder of the season following a knee surgery. Sophomore forward Travis Wannemuehler and freshman midfielder Zach Knudson are also offensive threats for the Wolfpack, each with 10 points on the season. N.C. State’s junior goalkeeper, Alex McCauley, has recorded 4.44 saves per game this season, good for third in the ACC. “They have a really organized defense; it’s very difficult to break down,” Kerr said. “They’re very dangerous on counterattacks and also on free kicks and corners, so we’re going to have to be on our toes and marking properly when they get those opportunities.”

Duke is 3-0-0 against N.C. State all-time in ACC postseason competition. The last such matchup between the two teams occurred in 2006, when the Blue Devils bested the Wolfpack 2-1. Duke went on to win the tournament that year—still the team’s last conference title.

The winning team advances to the quarterfinals of the tournament and will travel to play against No. 2 seed Syracuse Sunday.

“It’s been played down so much,” Sharp said of the amendment. “I think it’s ridiculous but it’s obviously going through. It looks like it makes sense, but when you go look further into it I don’t think it’s possible for defendants to make a pure choice.”

Whether or not results turned out in favor of students’ preferred candidates, most admitted that it was stimulating to be around other students who cared about politics. Countdowns were started as CNN announced sets of polls closing.

Roads beyond the Rhodes As late fall descends upon Duke, it is time to prepare for the barrages of exams, finalize Thanksgiving Break plans and register for Spring classes. For seniors, this time of year also means preparing for life after May 10. For some, this means securing internships and attending job fairs; for

Editorial others, it means entering the interviewing stage for scholarship programs that will determine where they will spend at least the next year of their life.

While these post-graduate opportunities may be the right fit for some, prospective applicants should reflect carefully on whether they are applying for the experience or the title.

Prestigious, historically significant and highly selective, these scholarships allow students to pursue graduate degrees abroad. These scholarships are highly competitive—each year, 32 Rhodes Scholars are selected to study at Oxford, and up to 42 are selected to study anywhere in the United Kingdom with the Marshall Scholarship. The Fulbright scholarships also carry prestige, and the new Schwarzman Scholars will likely also be competitive.

The competitive nature of these programs and the rigor of the application process require applicants to prepare far in advance and to do introspection about their character, goals and values. This process may be a mentally and emotionally taxing endeavor, but one that is ultimately rewarding as it leads to a better understanding of self. It is a process of selfdiscovery and grappling with goals for the future.

In this way, the process of applying for these scholarships, challenging though it may be, can be rewarding whether or not the applicant is selected as a winner. The self-knowledge and sense of direction gained through the process can help students who are applying to graduate programs and writing personal statements, be it to medical schools, law schools, PhD programs and many others.

Yet, the scholarships are not for all. During the preparation and application process, applicants should not only reflect on the experiences that have contributed richness to their character, but also on why they are applying. Is it for the prestige of putting one of these scholarships on a resume or is it from a genuine interest in the intellectual pursuit or fundamental goals of the programs?

challenge you to find a freshman who has not been asked to register to vote in this year’s midterm elections outside of Marketplace over the past month. Duke Student Government, Duke Political Union and other civically-minded campus organizations have done much to mobilize Duke’s undergraduate voters, and it can be hoped that their work will produce an uptick in voter turnout despite the newly-passed voter registration law, which makes it more difficult for college students like us to cast their votes.

Grassroots support of political efficacy (thanks, Advanced Placement U.S. Government) is widespread on Duke’s campus, and from what I’ve observed in my conversations with friends and classmates, has been effective. I am registered, know when and where to vote and the names of the candidates on the ballot, thanks to e-mails and other media from DSG and Duke Political Union.

But as I sit writing this, just days before election

EASTERN EXPOSURE day, I face the most important question of all with little hope of forming a confident answer—Who am I going to vote for?

Since I’ve come to the diverse community that is Duke, my preconceived perceptions and beliefs about topics ranging from social life to politics have been challenged. Political stances that I once saw as ridiculous claims from the other side of the spectrum now appear to me more reasonable, and I feel differently about some issues now than I did when I was in high school.

And lucky enough for me, I made a promise to myself about a month ago to become more engaged in current events in my day-to-day life here at Duke, so I’m knowledgeable about the two candidates in this year’s midterm election.

But amidst the ideological upheaval that has been my first semester of college, I’m finding it nearly impossible to say definitively for which side I’ll cast my first vote. I can’t vote for one

consider other scholarships or post-graduation opportunities that align with research or career interests, even if they are less recognized. A student interested in Asian studies, for example, may be better suited for the new Schwarzman Scholarship than the Rhodes. Even beyond scholarships, exploring paths besides the widely known Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright and Mitchell can be seen as indicative of leadership, as students are forging a path outside of the traditional focus of these programs.

These scholarships have the potential to benefit not only students, but also the University.

The number of Rhodes Scholars, for example, reflects well on a university’s reputation and how well that university prepares students for the application process. The number of scholars a university has can influence the application decisions of incoming first-years. Peer institutions such as Harvard and Yale have each sent at least six Rhodes Scholars this past year. In contrast, the last Rhodes Scholar from Duke received the honor three years ago. However, this institutional need to compete should not prevent individual students from following truer interests in lesserknown scholarships; explore the roads not taken.

Don’t call it apathy

side without feeling guilty about abandoning the merits I think the other side brings. Whether this says more about our party system or about the diversity of my experience here I’ll leave for another time, but one aspect I can consider is the ability of other students like me not just to vote, but to know for whom they want to vote.

I’m sure that I am not the only student at Duke who was unsure of her vote going into Election Day. And I can only imagine how much harder it would be to make a decision if I hadn’t been making that conscious effort to read the paper and inform myself about the candidates.

The majority of news college students get is nationally-based, coming from places like Facebook, where only news of national or world concern is aggregated.

Getting filled in on the candidates in local elections is considerably harder than staying updated on such events as those in the Middle East, or even Grumpy Cat’s Christmas movie. And let’s not forget the classic yet undeniably truthful excuse that we Duke students turn to every time we miss out on something important—”I’m just too busy.”

Student groups have taken such strong and effective action to combat low voter turnout among Duke students, making it as easy as the law allows for students to vote. Along with this effort, groups should work harder to ensure that students are equipped to vote informed, not just to vote. Groups such as DPU and College Republicans and Democrats should extend their reach past those who are already civically-engaged to the less-informed students who comprise the majority of the undergraduate population, possibly by simply handing out an overview of both candidates’ platforms or The Chronicle’s simple outline of candidates’ stances.

Don’t immediately chalk up a student’s indecision amount about the North Carolina midterm election to apathy, laziness or lack of conviction. The news that’s most accessible to college students is national news, and often, students are too busy (or, like me, unable to siphon through a host of arguments and viewpoints) to research the merits of each candidate. Just as important as voting is being an informed voter.

Stop Iran from getting the bomb

C

onsensus rarely exists in politics. Elections that are decided by a 40 percent to 60 percent vote are considered a landslide. Yet, remarkably, when it comes to Iranian nuclear ambitions, such a consensus exists two-fold. On one hand, practically all players in American politics agree that under no circumstance can Iran obtain a nuclear weapon. On the other hand, practically all the political elite in the Islamic Republic of Iran agree that Iran cannot abandon its budding nuclear program. This is where we have a problem.

Iranian views typically espouse that the country has the right to enrichment. They also accurately point out that, to date, the United States is the only country to ever use a nuclear weapon in a time of war on civilians. In fact, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which is oftentimes viewed as the basis for Western intervention with the Iranian nuclear program, explicitly calls for states to have the right to peacefully use nuclear technology. Given these two arguments, one based in ideology and the other based on legal precedent, why is America, the

total crude oil. (Spoiler: It does). With petroleum accounting for 60 percent of the government’s revenues and its natural reserves ensuring the reliability of the country’s energy security and providing energy, the question must be asked: Why does Iran want a nuclear program?

In the wake of crippling sanctions, global condemnations and the country becoming a virtual pariah, officials in the country remain determined to pursue its nuclear policy strictly for “peaceful purposes”.

Now I’m not a gambling man, but if I was, I would be willing to wager that Iran might have other ideas than supplying another few percentage points of its population with energy from a nuclear source.

Where were we?

In just a few days, November 9, the tripartite summit including the U.S., Iran and the European Union, will take place in Oman. A week after that the P5+1 will meet continuously until the deadline, November 24. Keep in mind that this deadline has already been extended from the previous

Let’s talk gender, race and perceived identity

ecently, I encountered an epistemological rupture as I started to listen to the messages I thought no longer existed in my Blue Devil community. You can call it ‘lending my ears’ to public conversations.

I was on a Duke bus and overheard a conversation between two individuals stating that this female was not “his type.” The conversation went on to describe the female—popular, intelligent and brown-skinned.

Let’s talk about how ‘she’s not your type.’

Let’s talk about how you define beauty, let’s talk about how pageants exist only for women and let’s talk about how wage inequality is still a reality for many.

Let’s talk, because though you’re saying “she’s not your type,” what I’m really hearing is a groundless dismissal of a human being, due to your bigotry, sexism and racism.

It is no secret that there is an unequal playing field for men and women. How a Miss America contestant must be a perfectly chiseled single woman without children who knows how to solve ISIS—in 20 seconds. Or how commercials and advertisements show us that only women can use Swiffers or eat yogurt. Or how women are expected to bear perfect imperfections (it should not be called natural if you still use makeup, right?). Or how education subliminally tells us that when

P5+1 and the world so concerned with ensuring that Iran doesn’t get the bomb?

The answer to the former regarding the ideology that all countries have the right to enrichment and nuclear technology is clear— they don’t. If there was no Manhattan project, no nuclear arms race during the Cold War and no nuclear proliferation, the world would be a safer place. By this I mean that there wouldn’t be a chance that one political miscalculation (not like that ever happens) could destroy our planet. Stopping nuclear proliferation and preventing rogue groups or unstable countries from attaining weapons of mass destruction is vital to ensuring global security.

Regarding the latter, the legal basis for permitting states to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, the key lies in the stipulations of the NPT. The caveat of the NPT is that certain regulations must be followed: countries have to follow the IAEA’s safety procedures and inspections. This is to ensure that nuclear energy is solely being used for peaceful purposes and so that the international community can monitor a country’s ‘breakouttime’—the amount of time at which a state can rush to enrich uranium/plutonium to get the bomb. This premise of accountability is crucial in the legal groundwork for establishing the right for countries to pursue a nuclear weapon.

Ok, so Iran violated its ratification of the NPT by not disclosing one of its enrichment plants. Or two. Or three. (Spoiler: It’s more than three). And Iran builds them underground, in mountains, under concrete reinforced bunkers. And it doesn’t cooperate with IAEA. I don’t know about you, but I smell somethin’ fishy.

But hey, Iran needs nuclear energy. It’s not like it produces over 5 percent of the world’s

deadline six months ago (along with the U.S. relinquishing some of its sanctions and allowing the Iranian economy to recover). I mentioned earlier that stopping Iran from getting the bomb is a consensus issue. If this is true, then why am I taking the time to write this editorial?

Because there is not a consensus in what this means. Stopping Iran from getting the bomb and stopping Iran from achieving a nuclear weapons capability (having a sufficiently shortened ‘breakout-time’) is not the same thing. By extending the previous deadline by 6 months, John Kerry and the US administration gave the Iranian economy ample time to recover. The struggling economy, thanks to globally endorsed sanctions, has led to widespread discontent with Iran’s regime (does anyone else remember the 2009 Iranian uprising that nobody did anything about?) and has actually caused real, legitimate pressure to the government. However, the easing of sanctions has allowed the economy to rebound and Iran has already signed several long-term contracts that are set to buoy its economy for a bit longer.

A good deal is one that removes Iran from the nuclear threshold in addition to preventing it from attaining a nuclear weapons capability. A bad deal is one that removes most of the economic sanctions and global pressure for receiving minimal guarantees and requirements on the Iranian nuclear program.

It’s weird that a goal with such unanimous American support leads to policy decisions and posturing that may very well allow one consensus opinion to be struck down and another to keep an autocratic regime in power.

faced with a choice, education and careers should still prioritize the man’s agenda (#bachelorette’sdegree).

A National Public Radio article, titled “Women and Wealth: Local to Global Money Lessons,” attempts to describe the wage gap between women and men. The author states that women’s earnings are “catching up,” since women now make 81 cents for every dollar a man makes. This conservativeleaning article challenges President Obama on the national pay gap—the President reports that women make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns in 2014. Critics argue that this wage gap does not capture the differences in occupations, hours or education. To that claim, I argue that women should not have different occupations, hours or education. There are inequities at the structural and societal level, and if you are still not convinced, look at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research report. IWPR reports that women have lower median earnings than men in all but one of the 20 most common occupations for women, which is bookkeeping and auditing clerks.

What the NPR article and many others fail to mention (besides failing to realize we shouldn’t be celebrating until women make 100 cents for every man’s dollar) is that it’s only white women who make 81 cents for every dollar a man makes.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics dig a little deeper into wage inequalities and discover that black women make 68 cents to a white man’s dollar and Hispanic or Latino women make 59 cents to a white man’s dollar. Struggling to catch up to both white women and men, in general, women of color are in a vulnerable position as the world is constantly—and simultaneously—reminding us of our gender and racial identity. There is no escaping the skin that protects us and exposes us to the world’s ills.

You may wonder how gender and racial inequality relates to the conversation I heard on the bus. The answer is simple—love. Or better yet, the lack thereof.

Sure, that emotion-inducing, stomach churning, Ryan Gosling-Rachel McAdams kind of love is important, too. In fact, according to a 2012 Duke study, 76 percent of Duke students want to be in a committed, romantic relationship, so there’s no denying the importance of that kind of sentiment.

But there’s another kind of love we need, and Director of Islamic Studies Center Omid Safi perfectly describes the type of love needed to overcome these discriminations we still suffer: “I want love. Not love as a sentiment. Not love as an emotion. I want love as God unleashed to this world. I want a love that is the very being of God in manifestations.”

Professor Safi also discusses the importance of this kind of love through our brotherly and sisterly interactions. It is this kind of unprejudiced love, difficult as it is, that allows us to step out of our comfort and learn about the struggles of our fellow brothers and sisters. It allows us to become aware of our privileges and leave the world a little better for generations that are the products of our encounters and lack of encounters.

We are vessels in which so much love has been poured into, including love from divine forces, our communities, our families, our classmates, our schools, our countries. As we journey through humanity, it’s up to us to spread those forces of love and compassion to other people—to be the torch that lights up other lives.

When I heard the “she’s not his type” conversation on the bus, I was disturbed by the keen prejudices and false assumptions that grazed the surface. Still, there was more to it. By having a “type,” we are discounting entire groups of people based on what we think we know to be true. The false boundaries we have placed amongst ourselves have placed boundaries on the types of relationships, friendships, partnerships, communities and ideas that can take place.

Without any inhibition, we owe it to the advancement of humanity to adopt this type of unleashed love.
