ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 45

N.C. early voting Recognizing those ‘put in harm’s way’ revealed as vulnerable to identity fraud Nonproﬁt Project Veritas Action unveiled the ease of voter fraud in midterm elections Aleena Karediya Local & National Editor With North Carolina’s new voter identification law poised to take effect in 2016, one nonprofit organization used the midterm elections to show that committing voter fraud is currently easier than some might think. In a viral video, national nonprofit Project Veritas Action highlighted the vulnerability of North Carolina’s early voting system. James O’Keefe—president of the organization—posed as 20 different inactive voters, and received ballots at 20 different early voting sites across the state. With stricter voter identification requirements set to be enacted for the 2016 elections, the project exposed the flaws of the North Carolina voting system in a groundbreaking way, said John Aldrich, Pfizer-Pratt University professor of political science. “[The video] was great, because they showed exactly the ways that large interest groups can take advantage of the trust system of polls,” Aldrich said. Although O’Keefe did not actually vote in the experiment, he was given a paper ballot 20 times and could have voted if desired, the video shows. By memorizing the publicly listed names and addresses of the inactive voters, he was able to pose as them without much trouble. O’Keefe—who founded Project Veritas Action with the aim of exposing fraud in politics—noted that his projects have had real-life implications in the past, and the North Carolina one might have similar consequences. “My last video [about campaign fraud] led to the firing of Greg Amick, a Democratic campaign manager in the midterm elections,” O’Keefe said. “The impacts are usually pretty significant.” North Carolina was one of 19 U.S. states where no identification was required to vote in the midterm elections that concluded last Tuesday. Voter registration laws vary widely from state to state—some only require ID for first-time voters, and others only require non-photo ID that lists name and address, such as a utility bill or paycheck. As a result of these varied laws, some states experience the same fraud problems as North Carolina, O’Keefe said. “We’ve also done videos in New Hampshire that expose much of the same thing as in North Carolina,” he noted. “It just

Annual Veterans Day ceremony an opportunity to “appreciate our men and women in uniform” Jenna Zhang Local & National Editor With the number of veteran students on the rise, Duke’s annual ceremony commemorating Veterans Day will take place in front of the Chapel Tuesday. Each year, approximately 100 individuals from across campus attend the ceremony, which includes the recitation of the national anthem and remarks from Vice President of Administration Kyle Cavanaugh. The event—which is sponsored by Duke Human Resources and began in 2010—also features the Duke color guard and representatives from the University’s ROTC units. The ceremony’s first few years have coincided with a significant spike in the University’s veteran student population as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down. From 2009 to 2013, the number of veteran students increased by more than 450 percent—with more than 240 veterans enrolled last year, the majority in Duke’s graduate and professional schools. “I think it’s a unique opportunity for us to appreciate our

men and women in uniform,” Cavanaugh said of the ceremony. “We took an initiative to be a little bit more symbolic and visible with this, and it seems to have been well-received.” Although the event began only in 2010, the administration has long been interested in providing some form of recognition for veterans on campus, Cavanaugh said. This year’s ceremony will feature guest speaker Maj. Mike Snyder, a safety manager for Duke’s Facilities Management Department. Snyder, a veteran of the Marine Corps, has been employed at Duke for 13 years and is one of approximately 800 veteran employees on campus. “Veterans Day is significant to anyone who has worn the uniform, but it’s also significant to friends and family,” he said. “It’s the one day in the years when we recognize those who’ve been put in harm’s way.” Snyder noted the event has grown significantly from the first year in attendance due to increased awareness about the ceremony. Paul Escajadillo, an Army veteran and second-year MBA student at the Fuqua School of Business, expressed enthusiasm for the event, noting that the Duke MBA Armed Forces Association has been pushing t-shirt sales in promotion of it.

Sanjeev Dasgupta | The Chronicle Ethan Bronner, deputy national editor of The New York Times, discussed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as part of the annual Rudnick lecture series held in Sanford Fleishman Commons Monday.

Sydney Sarachek The Chronicle In light of the increasing tension between Israeli and Palestine this summer, Ethan Bronner, deputy national editor of The New York Times, discussed the crisis and its implications at the Sanford School of Public Policy Monday night. Bronner’s lecture, titled “The Aftermath of Gaza and the Future of Two States: A Journalist’s Persepective,” was part of the annual Rudnick lecture series hosted by the Rudnick Endowment, the Duke Center for Jewish Studies, DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy and the Sanford School. The event focused on his personal experiences as well as his opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its evolution over time. “Every foreign correspondent has more

than one story to tell, and they often contradict one another, so it’s not so unusual,” Bronner said. “But in the case of Jerusalem, it’s incredible what a gap there is between the two sides of the story.” Bronner served as The New York Times’ Jerusalem bureau chief from 2010 to 2012. Following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he worked in the paper’s investigative unit focusing on al-Qaeda. Bronner has also held other roles for the Times, as well as for the Boston Globe, where he served as Middle East correspondent during the 1980s. In the lecture, Bronner focused on the difficulties of reporting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, citing the navigation of “competitive narratives” as a major difficulty faced by journalists. He emphasized that pro-Israeli and See Gaza on Page 3

The Long-Run Impacts of Early Childhood Poverty

Ariel Kalil

Wednesday, November 12 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. Sanford Building, Room 04

Most poor children achieve less, exhibit more problem behaviors and are less healthy than children reared in more affluent families. Ariel Kalil looks beyond those well-known correlations, and stresses the potentially harmful effects that early childhood poverty has on later life. She will present evidence suggesting that prenatal and early childhood poverty have substantial negative associations with adult earnings, work hours and certain health conditions, but not with such behavioral outcomes as out-of-wedlock childbearing and arrests. Kalil, a developmental psychologist, is a professor in the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago, where she directs the Center for Human Potential and Public Policy and co-directs the Behavioral Insights and Parenting Lab. She has received the William T. Grant Foundation Faculty Scholars Award, the Changing Faces of America’s Children Young Scholars Award from the Foundation for Child Development, and in 2003 she was the first recipient of the Society for Research in Child Development Award for Early Research Contributions.

FRAUD

shows that fraud is a national problem strongly concentrated in more than a few states.” Although this type of fraud is possible, it is not necessarily likely. Aldrich emphasized that the fraud shown in the video was not something an everyday citizen would take the time to plan out. “From my point of view, it is possible to commit fraud, but you will have to intentionally do it,” he said. “It takes some effort to do it, so that means it’s not just that people say on Election Day, ‘Oh, let’s commit fraud.’ It’s large groups and organizations that are behind it.” Aldrich said that, because many early voting election boards are Republican-dominated, the voting officials featured in the videos were most likely Republicans.

“Fraud is almost always an organized effort by a political party,” Aldrich said. “If there’s an organization, there’s always a person who will come up with an idea, like fake IDs, to sway the vote.” Beginning in the 2016 elections, North Carolina’s voter ID laws will change to require a photo ID—such as a North Carolina drivers’ license, a United States passport, a military ID card or a tribal ID card—at all polling sites. The new law has been controversial, with some arguing that it will disenfranchise minority voters and others positing that voter fraud does not occur on a large enough scale to merit tougher laws. These laws will strengthen security at ballots, but they will not be foolproof, Aldrich warned. “Some of these interest groups have great motivation to commit fraud,” Aldrich said. “It’s unfortunate, but even as the laws change, the nature of political groups won’t.”

VETERANS

GAZA

Veteran representation has been prevalent in his classes, Escajadillo said—adding that both students and faculty respect the unique contributions and perspectives veterans bring to classrooms. Escajadillo was deployed to Ecuador, Columbia and Afghanistan between 2005 and 2012. “When you’re deploying to a lot of these countries, you definitely get a unique insight into how the rest of the world lives,” he said. “And in a place like Iraq or Afghanistan, going through a lot of those experiences with your fellow soldiers definitely strengthens the bond with you and other people. You also learn that as much as you want to understand other people, at the end of the day, there is evil in the world.” Duke has provided an extremely welcoming environment for veteran students, he added.

pro-Palestinian sentiments vary widely from event to event, and take forms in widespread propaganda and government edicts. Bronner said his goals as a reporter in Jerusalem were geared towards adding dimension to the one-sided opinions he came into contact with. “I felt that my job over there was somehow to take this increasingly ossified debate, this black and white phenomenon, and try and inject elements of gray into it,” Bronner said. Bronner spoke about the roots of the conflict this summer, which began with the kidnapping and killing of 3 Israeli boys. He expressed shock at how both sides—Israeli and Palestinian—tell the story differently. Bronner did not express any opinion favoring one side over the other, but instead focused on the many dimen-

sions of opinion as a whole. “You can tell the story either way,” he said. “There are so many things that happened in this conflict that you can absolutely build a narrative with either one of those convictions.” Bronner discussed the recent “points of anger” in Israel and the West Bank and whether this will result in a third intifadah— or resistance to oppression. “One of the things that’s very hard to know is there a way to fix this Rubik’s cube,” Bronner said, addressing potential developments in the conflict in the future. “[A potential solution] is not clear at this point.” Freshman Riley Griffin said that Bronner’s lecture brought a refreshing, truth-seeking perspective to the crisis. “He didn’t rely on stats to enforce his points, but instead focused on the human elements he observed as the Jerusalem bureau chief,” Griffin said.

Men’s Basketball

Duke continues tradition with Division II champs Ryan Hoerger Beat Writer The scoreboard showed a 40-point margin of victory for the Blue Devils, but Saturday’s game was about more than just winning another exhibition. Duke wrapped up preseason play against Central Missouri at Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday afternoon, the sixth consecutive season the Blue Devils have welcomed the defending Division II national champions to Durham. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski usually schedules a local opponent for Duke’s other tuneup game, but invites the Division II champions to campus every year. “They can celebrate one last time before they get going to their next journey,” Krzyzewski said. “They fought their butts off every possession, so you shake hands with them, you wish them the best.... A game like this is really good for the game. It’s good for each of our teams, but it’s really good for the game to do it this way.” The chance to play against one of college basketball’s most storied programs was not lost on the Mules after Saturday’s game. “I don’t know if [Krzyzewski] knows how special it is, the opportunity that he gives our kids and our program,” Central Missouri head coach Doug Karleskint said. “As far as Division II, to come in here—it’s

a special place to play, this venue, and we can only get better because of it.” Playing against Duke in the preseason has become something of an open secret among Division II schools, a perk above and beyond the reward of winning the national championship. Shortly after defeating West Liberty 84-77 March 29 to capture the program’s second national title, the Central Missouri play-

ers knew they would likely be making a trip to Durham seven months later. Drury—the 2013 Division II national champion—is located in Springfield, Mo., about two hours south of Central Missouri. Sophomore center Sean O’Brien—the Mules’ leading scorer Saturday with 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting—said his team knew that the Panthers had come to Duke

last fall for an exhibition game, a contest the Blue Devils won 81-65. The opportunity to take the floor at Cameron Indoor Stadium might not have matched the elation of cutting down the nets, but provided an experience few at the Division II level will ever duplicate. “It was pretty exciting,” O’Brien said. “I think every kid growing up kind of dreams about playing at Duke [or] North Carolina.” Karleskint said he worried before the game about how the Mules would respond under the bright lights and in front of the Cameron Crazies. The barometer test for him was the first five minutes of the game, during which many teams have folded under the pressure and energy that the Blue Devils generate from their fans. As it turned out, the first few minutes were likely Central Missouri’s best stretch of the day. The Mules jumped out to a 13-7 lead, drilling six of their first nine shots and forcing three Duke turnovers. But the hot shooting did not last, as Central Missouri finished the first half 3-for-17 and misfired on its first nine shots after intermission, a 6:09 drought that also included five turnovers. “We were fired up and really ready to play out of the gate. We started off pretty good, and once we stopped scoring, our defense started slacking,” senior guard Rakeem Dickerson said. “Obviously we lost and it got out of hand, See Division II on Page 5

Sixth year for Brown, Deaver Blue Devils primed for NCAA tournament run Staff Reports

Duke linebacker Kelby Brown and tight end Braxton Deaver have each been given a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, the team announced Monday afternoon. Both players have missed the entirety of this season after suffering knee injuries during the preseason. Brown tore the ACL in his left knee during a scrimmage Aug. 11, and Deaver fell victim to the same injury in his right leg Aug. 18. The 2014 season was supposed to have been the players’ fifth year of NCAA eligibility, after each was forced to take a medical redshirt earlier in their careers in Durham. Brown, a 2013 first team All-ACC selection, missed the 2012 campaign with a torn ACL in his right knee. Deaver also sat out the 2012 season for the Blue Devils recovering from three separate surgeries, including an ACL tear in his other knee. “I took a couple of weeks, probably a month, for some time to heal,” Brown said in a press release. “My inclination was to not play again. I spent a lot of time with Braxton and

we helped each other through the process. Coach Cutcliffe was amazing throughout the entire time; he helped me find joy in the decision. He didn’t pressure me either way. He just gave me practical advice.” Brown has recorded 242 tackles in three seasons on the gridiron for head coach David Cutcliffe, as well as a pair of interceptions and six fumble recoveries. Deaver was one of quarterback Anthony Boone’s most dependable targets in 2013, ranking second on the team with 46 receptions, 600 receiving yards and four touchdowns on his way to earning All-ACC honors. The 6-foot-5 redshirt senior entered this year’s preseason looking to build on a strong performance in last year’s Chick-fil-A Bowl, when the Charlotte, N.C., native hauled in six passes for a career-best 116 yards. “Mentally and emotionally, I wasn’t really there [after surgery]; it was something I really had to think about,” Deaver said in the release. “As I started to recover, I became more clear-headed about the whole situation, and after looking at my options, it was a no-brainer.”

Staff Reports The road back to the Final Four begins just eight miles from home for the Blue Devils. The selection committee revealed its 19team bracket for the NCAA tournament Sunday night, placing No. 9 Duke in the same pod as rival North Carolina, the tournament’s top overall seed. The Blue Devils will take on No. 7 Northwestern Saturday at 2 p.m. at Francis E. Henry Stadium in Chapel Hill in the first round of the tournament. Last season, Duke made a deep postseason run, riding the experience of its veterans to the Final Four before losing to Connecticut in the national title game. After losing seven seniors to graduation, the Blue Devils reloaded this year and now have a chance to make a repeat trip to the tournament’s final weekend. To do so, Duke will lean heavily on its three seniors—midfielder Abby Beltrani and forwards Jessica Buttinger and Martine Chichizola—on the offensive end. The trio has combined for 10 goals and nine assists this season.

“I give our three seniors a lot of credit, having played in last year’s national championship game, and finding a way to lead a young team to another NCAA tournament,” Duke head coach Pam Bustin said in a press release. “Through the ups and downs of the season, they kept persevering and now we’re really excited that we have an opportunity to play and to be close to home.” If the Blue Devils (12-6) top the Wildcats (16-6) Saturday, they will advance to face either the Tar Heels or the winner of Wednesday’s play-in game between Richmond and Liberty in Sunday’s second round at 2 p.m. Duke will be very familiar with the opponents in its pod, having played four games against them in the past month. The Blue Devils defeated both Richmond and Liberty in non-conference play and dropped two games against the Tar Heels, including a 2-1 overtime loss in the ACC tournament quarterfinals last week. Duke has recent experience playing against Northwestern as well; the Blue Devils fell 3-2 to the Wildcats last year at Jack Katz Stadium.

DIVISION II

continued from page 4 but the experience was very good, the facilities are nice. There are some positives we can take away from this game.” Although the Blue Devils have won the exhibitions against the Division II champions by an average of 26.0 points per game, Krzyzewski maintained that the games are mutually beneficial because bringing in a defending national champion guarantees a quality opponent. “We’re bigger than they are and more athletic, but not any better-coached than them,” Krzyzewski said. “They really play off each other well, they have a system. That’s why we’ve played the Division II national champions every year, because you’re always going to get a team that is well-coached. They’re winners, they believe they can win.” For Karleskint, who counted down the days to Saturday’s tip-off on Twitter, the opportunity to coach against Duke fell into his lap. He spent last season at the helm of Arkansas Tech and saw the Mules end his season in the opening round of the NCAA Division II tournament. After Central Missouri cut down the nets, head coach Kim Anderson left for Division I Missouri, and Karleskint was tapped as the program’s next head coach. The Mules tried to approach Saturday like any other game, but Karleskint admitted postgame that “obviously it’s not.” In addition to the excitement of his players, he coached his first game on the Central Missouri sideline opposite the winningest head coach in Division I men’s college basketball history. “He’s one of the best ever—if not the best—ever,” Karleskint said. “It’s something that, right before tip, I looked down and it was a surreal moment to realize I was coaching against a legend, and just something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.”

ELIGIBILITY

has answered those doubts, particularly defensively. Anchored by the play of senior linebacker David Helton—who shifted over to Brown’s Mike linebacker position after the Matthews, N.C., native went down with the injury—the Blue Devil defense has given up the 11th-fewest points per game in the nation. Offensively, tight end David Reeves and wide receiver Max McCaffrey have stepped up in the absence of Deaver, reeling in a combined 37 catches for 328 yards and five scores. The return of Brown and Deaver in 2015 will help to bolster a Blue Devil roster that will lose many of its key components following this season, including Helton, Boone and his favorite target, Jamison Crowder. Former Blue Devil defensive end Kenny Anunike was a key member of Duke’s division-winning team last season, playing in his sixth year of NCAA eligibility. Like Brown and Deaver, Anunike was granted an additional year of eligibility after missing the entire 2008 season and eight games in 2011 due to knee injuries. The Galena, Ohio, product responded in his final year in Durham, recording a team-best six sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. No. 19 Duke will look to improve upon its highest ranking in 20 years Saturday when the Blue Devils host Virginia Tech at noon at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Addressing the computer science scandal Some students enrolled in Computer Science 201 found themselves especially anxious Wednesday evening. The cause wasn’t an upcoming midterm exam, but an email from the computer science department notifying students of an investigation into cheating in the class. It was especially noticeable on Yik Yak, where students took advantage of the application’s anonymity to comment on the news and express their concern. The investigation

Editorial into cheating raises questions about the terms of acceptable collaboration and the ramifications for violating Duke’s community expectations. In his comments with The Chronicle, Owen Astrachan, co-director of undergraduate studies and professor of the practice of computer science, admitted that there is a fine line between collaboration and cheating in computer science— online and in person. A tremendous amount of resources are available to students online, and the process of problem solving in computer science is not so much about pure inspiration as it is about creatively applying existing methods. For students working on problem sets together, the question of

The Chronicle

As the investigation unfolds, we question whether the current approach to sanctioning students found in violation of the policies is adequate. Currently, the department is offering first-time offenders the chance to admit any wrongdoing. In return, students can settle the issue through faculty-student resolution, which isn’t reported on students’ permanent records. On the one hand, stricter punishments could jolt the academic climate toward the “police state” that stifles student collaboration, an invaluable aspect of university life, according to Astrachan. Yet the other extreme is equally, if not more, undesirable: the possibility that relaxed consequences will cause students to feel able to routinely compromise the Community Standard. Cheating is an unacceptable behavior that dilutes a student’s ability to learn, and we strongly support the computer science department’s efforts to investigate the matter. Ultimately, it is the prerogative of the department to decide the limits of acceptable behavior. But as they decide sanctions, it is important to note that their decisions will weigh heavily on the minds of all students and will send a message about cheating at large. At an elite academic institution like Duke, it is each student’s responsibility to ensure that your work reflects the integrity of one’s own efforts.

ome of people’s best and worst memories can be attributed to alcohol. In the best instances, alcohol brings about a spirit of unity, and at times marriages can even ensue from a casual drink with a stranger. In the worst, alcohol can result in impaired decision-making with life-long consequences. In regards to health, moderate amounts of alcohol intake can increase heart health—however, alcohol intake is also linked to many cancers. Alcohol is a two-edged sword that must be handled carefully because it not only affects our own personal lives, but also the lives of those around us. I will be turning 21 this Thursday, and that night will be the first time I will have ever tasted alcohol—well, with the exception of one occasion.

much lower (or nonexistent), I opted to delay my first taste of alcohol simply to make my 21st birthday a more special occasion. As previously mentioned, alcohol is a doubleedged sword. This may seem to be overkill, but I have set several guidelines for myself because I want to be absolutely certain that I do not compromise my personal convictions. Among other choices I have made, I have decided that I will not drink in settings where there is only one person who does not drink. Allow me to elucidate this. Drinking is a social decision. Alcohol has the power to unite a group of people—however, that also means that those who decide not to drink are often alienated from the group. I remember an instance during my time at Duke in which I felt so

what types of collaboration are deemed acceptable is also pervasive. Can students discuss and puzzle through problems together and work on similar ideas and codes if the work is ultimately their own? With programs like MOSS—a tool used by the computer science department to check code by scanning the underlying data structure so as to find similarities and identify patterns that suggest duplicated work— the divide between acceptable and unacceptable collaboration is increasingly brought to the fore. Yet, the issues arising in this computer science scandal evoke concerns that pervade across other disciplines of academia as well. In the humanities, the boundaries of collaboration appear clearer—to plagiarize is to copy work ad verbatim from a text or to present another’s original ideas as your own, among others. Yet, these delineations become blurred in many of the STEM field courses. Because the nature of the work is different in, for example, computer science than in physics, the terms and expectations of collaboration rightly fluctuate. Each department has different methods of combating students submitting unoriginal work, and each department should, like the computer science department, supplement the Duke Community Standard with their own clear expectations that are in turn communicated to students.

A different approach to drinking

I had my first and only taste of alcohol when I was about five years old. We were at a family friend’s house, and I opened their refrigerator in hopes of finding apple juice. I came across a cup filled with a similarly colored liquid and drank it. I immediately spat out what was apparently beer and promised myself that I would never touch alcohol again. Alcohol is a complex issue that can take on different dimensions based on people’s backgrounds, ranging from those who come from alcoholic families to those whose families never permitted alcohol in the home. During my childhood, my family often used wine to cook, and my immediate family only drank a glass once in a blue moon. Therefore, I never had the desire to drink growing up. Additionally, my father passed away when I was young, and he was an alcoholic. My family described him genuine and selfless with alcohol addiction being his only flaw. Growing up, I considered drinking to be a character flaw and correlated it with poor health and early death. I came to college with the resolution that I would not drink. I actually decided to not drink for the rest of my life because I was fearful of becoming an alcoholic. My father experienced serious financial and relational repercussions because of his decisions, and I wanted to avoid his mistakes at all cost. My opinions have since changed, and I have realized that alcohol is not inherently bad. I decided to wait until my 21st birthday simply to honor national laws in place. Although I have traveled to countries where the drinking age is

uncomfortable not drinking that I was compelled to leave. Interestingly, this was among a group of my friends. If it weren’t for another friend who also decided to leave to keep me company, that night would have been quite unpleasant. The decision of drinking is more than a personal decision because it affects those around us as well. Like any other social activity, it is difficult to pay attention to others when we are caught up in our own excitement. However, in the midst of our pleasure, we should also be intentional to take notice of those around us to make sure everyone feels comfortable and included. When I am with a group of people whom I am particularly trying to please, I often find myself speaking extra loud and trying to be especially funny. In these situations, I force myself to go beyond who I really am. The same is applicable for drinking. I suspect that there are people who drink more than their bodies can handle in hopes of gaining others’ attention. As college students, we can subconsciously encourage this unhealthy behavior with phrases such as, “You’re not drinking tonight? That’s no fun.” We attribute people’s worth to how much fun they are to be around, forgetting that people are so much more than the fun they contribute. As a campus, let’s dismantle the belief that self-worth needs to be earned. Let’s strive to affirm people’s identities so well that they can’t help but be themselves. Thao Nguyen is a Trinity junior.

Your reasons for not voting were wrong

xactly one week ago, I received a number of texts from people asking me if they should vote. My response was always “YES!!!!” But one word didn’t seem like enough. In fact, 50 didn’t seem like enough, which was why I kept it short. Fortunately, fate has given me a soapbox upon which it is socially acceptable to stand for 800 words every two weeks. Unfortunately, it has given it to me a week too late. Or a few years too early, depending on your perspective. So here it is—all the reasons why you shouldn’t vote in any election…and the reasons they’re completely, totally, 100

game of picking the lesser of two evils. This is not a fun job. It is a necessary one. Don’t believe me? Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma is the senate’s leading climate change denier. He has written a book called “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.” His favorite phrase is “I’m not a scientist.” With the Republican Party having won the Senate, he is about to become the chair of the senate committee that deals with crafting environmental policy. There may not be a good choice. But there are plenty of really, really bad ones. “My vote won’t matter.”

Shaking off Murphy’s Law

t happened at the Homecoming Ball of my sophomore year. Separated from the roving pack of underclassmen I had entered the tent with, I was wandering aimlessly in search of leftover buffet food when an acquaintance of mine who had graduated the year before pulled me aside. “Tom! You’re interested in global health, right? Come meet my friend...he interned in Kenya back when he was at Duke, so he might be a good person for you to talk with.” Shocked that an alumnus would be sober enough—let alone willing—to facilitate a networking experience at 11 p.m. on Friday of Homecoming weekend, I frantically snatched up a napkin to clean off my hors d’oeuvre-stained hands just in time for the quintessential tipsy handshake/arm grab that characterizes such events. “First of all, I’m so jealous that you still get to do this party stuff every weekend,” he told me. “But anyways, why are you interested in global health?” Things went downhill from there. My initial irrational hope that the conversation would eventually lead to me taking part in a fully funded research project soon turned into merely a desperate desire to make it out of the party tent with at least some of my dignity. “I think Paul Farmer is a cool dude, so I did the Global Health FOCUS

percent wrong. “I’m not informed enough.” I like people who use this reason. I agree with them about the fundamental problem that uninformed votes are detrimental to elections, and I admire their commitment to take that philosophy even further and not worsen the problem. They’re still wrong. They’d be correct if the population who voted was informed, and putting their uninformed vote into the mix would skew opinions. But this is not the mix of people who vote. Existing in far greater number than the informed are the uninformed, and there are two types of uninformed people— the uninformed people who think being informed matters, and the uninformed people who think that it does not. And their priorities should be reflected, too. For instance, the group of uninformed yet eager voters—those who aren’t in the habit of consciously seeking out and synthesizing information before acting on key decisions— are also likely correlated with people who, for instance, deny climate change. Your reticence is giving their lack thereof even greater prominence. “The system is broken anyway—because of gerrymandering, parties that don’t reflect nuanced political opinions, money in politics, etc., this government will never be truly representative.” Revolutionizing the United States government would be an enormous, cataclysmic event. It would lead to instability. It would be scary. It could lead to total ruin. We should not do it if we do not absolutely have to. And we’ll never be able to tell whether or not we absolutely have to if we don’t give the current system a fair shot. We can’t complain that the government isn’t representative if we haven’t done everything that we could in order to ensure that our views are represented. If gerrymandering is a huge problem, vote for candidates with good ideas to combat it. If money in politics is a huge problem, vote for candidates who push campaign finance reform. If the two parties don’t represent you, find a third party candidate. “The candidates are all the same anyway.” I’m the first to admit—politics is often a

The response to this reason is more complicated than the above. It is also more important. This society is extraordinarily individualistic. We like to focus on what we ourselves can do to change the world. Voting is not one of those things. To illustrate how true this is, consider the following hypothetical that I heard from a friend today: “I was going to ride to the polls with my friend. She is a Democrat. I am a Republican. Our votes would have just cancelled each other out. Same result, and we saved half an hour.” The problem with this reasoning is that we do not exist in a vacuum. Every single action we take helps to create a culture of voting—or not voting—that influences people on the margins. People with the most extreme viewpoints will always vote. Those who believe President Obama is the devil will always vote. Those who believe he is the Second Coming will do the same. But those who are more moderate, who have the more nuanced views that we often bemoan as being absent from our political discourse, are likely very influenced by the behavior of their friends. If a girl who thinks she should go but isn’t eager to asks: “hey, you going to vote?” and you tell the funny story about you and your Republican friend instead of saying “oh yeah, I’m going at 5. Want to come?” she’s not going to vote. Or if a fellow Computer Science major sees your “I Voted” sticker and asks you where the bus to the polls leaves from and how often, and you can tell him, then he’s going to vote when he wouldn’t have before. Voting is not about any individual. It’s about reflecting the collective, the aggregate. Your tiny little contribution–be it one single vote more towards the party that is better for the nation or just your presence waiting in line for a bus to the poll–is what matters. Our generation likes to be too cool for things, to out-logic others or go against the grain. That doesn’t work here. We can’t in good faith keep touting the cynicism towards the world that is our generation’s other favorite pastime if we don’t do our infinitesimally small part to combat it.

program freshman year but still don’t really know if it’s my passion” does not make for good self-promotion. After all, people don’t want uncertainty personified sitting two cubicles over from them. They want someone dead-set on a career in their industry, a trait someone like me who still has second thoughts about his major could not honestly claim to have. Of course, it’s more than a lack of knowledge about my life’s ideal trajectory that keeps me in the shallow end of the pool when it comes to networking. For instance, I have no idea how to hold someone at the professionally acceptable arm’s length. Given the choice between harassing a potential employer with my elevator pitch—think “I’m an economics major and global health minor from Duke University interested in a career in...because...”—and comparing notes with him or her on the best restaurants in the area, I’ll instinctively select the latter of the two. As a college student, I’m accustomed to informal conversation, and productive networking is anything but that, at least until you’re connected on LinkedIn. Simply not knowing how to tell if personal stories are an appropriate avenue for relationship building (hint—they most likely are only if you and the person whose business card you want were in the same Greek-letter organization or like the same greasyspoon Mexican restaurant on Ninth Street) is only one reason for my trepidation at meet-and-greets and business dinners. Additionally, I’m almost always out of my comfort zone when it comes to talking shop—sure, I can discuss Burger King’s recent corporate inversion or the public health implications of anti-vaccination sentiments among Southern California soccer moms, but my true comprehension of those subjects barely scratches the surface of what someone with a decade, even a year, of real-world industry experience knows about them. Perhaps it’s because my liberal arts education is damning me to a lifelong procession of social media management internships and barista gigs (unlikely), or perhaps I’m simply terrified of making even a single mistake in the presence of someone in a position of power. With the race for first-round interviews and case competition victories becoming more competitive each year, I could just be too risk-adverse, too afraid of falling prey to a repeat of the Homecoming fiasco, to talk to a potential boss without getting tongue-tied. In reality, however, every single one of us will make mistakes. Even the best of us, with the 3.87 GPA’s, club presidencies and firm handshakes, will eventually misspell someone’s name in a letter of interest or confuse balance sheets with income statements. A finance minor is going to be just as disoriented and stressed as a history major on the first day of work, and grabbing coffee with your boss’s boss during recruiting season does not guarantee your own boss will like you any more. As Murphy’s Law dictates, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. What can we do, then? We see perfection as the baseline by which everyone from professors to interviewers judges us, but that shouldn’t paralyze us with fear of inadequacy. Instead, it should give us reason to rejoice. No one can live up to a Platonic ideal, even those who market themselves as “driven, well-rounded critical thinkers,” so we might as well ignore it and make a joke or two with our coffee chat partners. At worst, it’s a warm-up for our 30 minutes in the human resources office next week. Two weeks ago, I took on that exact mindset and emailed a wellknown professor of urban planning at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill regarding the possibility of enrolling in his graduate seminar on public transportation this spring. He hasn’t responded. Instead of interpreting his reticence as a sign of disgust, though, I’m still planning to see him on First Day of Classes. Sometimes we just have to embrace our imperfections, ignore our insecurities and shake it off.
