ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 54

New Beginning:

Blue Devils handle Black Knights, 93-73

Wallace Wade to undergo renovations starting Monday

Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor lead No. 4 Duke to easy victory against Army Sunday Ryan Hoerger Sports Managing Editor The Blue Devils got all they could handle from a veteran Army squad, but Duke’s freshmen ultimately proved too much for the Black Knights to overcome. Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor paced No. 4 Duke to a 93-73 win against Army Sunday at Cameron Indoor StaARMY 73 dium. The freshman combined for DUKE 93 duo 37 points, with Jones contributing 16 points and 10 assists and Okafor tallying 21 points and pulling down eight rebounds. The effort was the first double-double of Jones’ career. “I hadn’t been shooting the ball well the past few games, but the coaches believe in me and have confidence me,” Jones said. “They told me ‘Just keep taking your shots’ if I get open shots. I’m not worried about stats, not worried about points, anything like that, as long as we win.” Jones scored 13 of his 16 points in the first half, helping pick up the slack for a Duke offense that was without Justise Winslow, mired in foul trouble for the vast majority of the period, and a backcourt that shot 1-of-8 from long range before halftime. A disciplined Army defense forced Duke (7-0) to work deep into the shot clock in the first half, but the Blue Devils still seemed to be able to get the shots they wanted. “It’s about being patient. We have plays that we run for when the shot clock is at 10, when the shot clock is at seven,” junior forward Amile Jefferson said. “Our guys didn’t get rattled much. Even if we didn’t have a shot, we didn’t rush it, we didn’t force

November: top headlines in review More on death of famed lemur, potential Ebola patient, election results and DKU grand opening Kali Shulklapper University Editor Lemur Star of Zoboomafoo Dies at the Age of 20 Jovian, a Coquerel’s sifaka and star of the children’s show Zoboomafoo, passed away Nov. 10 after 20 years at the Duke Lemur Center. The star lemur died of kidney failure earlier this month but leaves behind a legacy as a playful friend and caring father. His death led to an outpouring of sympathy on social

media—with many teens and twentysomethings sharing fond memories of the lemur’s days in the spotlight during their childhood. Martin Kratt, Trinity ’89 and co-host of Zoboomafoo, said Jovian’s playful attitude and natural beauty made him a natural fit for the starring role. The show aired 65 episodes from 1999 to 2001. Jovian was also described as a “capable and caring father,” who had 12 children with two different partners, leading to four grandchildren and two on the way. He is survived by his mate Pia and their family group which includes three young children, as well as older offspring who left the family group. His body will be frozen and used for scientific study, Haring said.

Tillis Takes Hagan’s Senate Seat in GOP Triumph Republican Thom Tillis, North Carolina Speaker of the House, defeated Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan in a close race for N.C’s Senate seat during the recent midterm elections. Tillis won with 48.88 percent of the vote while Hagan received 47.2 percent and Libertarian Sean Haugh won the remaining 3.73 percent. The race—which placed significant focus on women’s health, such as Thom Tillis reproductive rights, as well as education and healthcare—was featured in the national spotlight due to its back-and-forth battle and significant funding from outside sources. The candidates remained close in the polls leading right up to Election Day, and Tillis’s victory was key to allowing Republicans to take control of the Senate. Results were surprising to many, considering several projections that Hagan would win Kay Hagan until results came rolling in from the last precincts to report. Though a new law concerning voter identification will not go fully into effect until 2016, certain provisions—including eliminating same-day registration and out-of-precinct voting—were in play for this election, but turnout in the state hit a record high for a midterm year and early voter turnout increased by more than 20 percent, according to the Board of Elections.

Galanos—who was diagonsed at the age of 55—added that many people are surprised that prostate cancer disproportionately affects African American men and can affect men as early as their fifties, so early screening is important. Many people have the misconception that prostate cancer only happens to men in their eighties.

Blue Devils roll Demon Deacons for Senior Day win Zac Elder Beat Writer The Blue Devils didn’t take long Saturday night to rebound from last week’s loss to rival North Carolina, jumping out to an early lead against Wake Forest on their way to a 41-21 victory. Big plays on special teams and stout second-half defense WAKE 21 led Duke to its ninth DUKE 41 win of the season and a second-place finish in the ACC Coastal Division. “I told our team, ‘We are going to play to win this game’” Blue Devil head coach David Cutcliffe said. “We felt like we had some big opportunities down the field, and those proved to be big for us.” Duke (9-3, 5-3 in the ACC) took advantage of big plays in the kicking game in the first half to take an early lead. The Blue Devils’ opening drive of the game resulted in a touchdown, thanks in part to a 46-yard kickoff return by DeVon Edwards. Redshirt senior quarterback Anthony Boone took advantage of the short field and marched the Duke offense 47 yards down the field to put the Blue Devils on top early. Wake Forest (3-9, 1-7) responded with a touchdown drive of its own and then forced a Duke punt. Jared Crump fielded Will Monday’s punt near his own 30-yard line but lost control of the ball before taking a big hit. The Blue Devils recovered the fumble and punched the ball into the end zone five plays later on an eight-yard run by freshman Shaun Wilson. The big special teams plays did not all come by chance, though. “I told our staff and our squad that after

our second score, regardless of circumstance, we’re going to onside kick,” Cutcliffe said. On the ensuing kickoff, Jack Willoughby squibbed the ball across the middle of the field and recovered his own onside kick at Duke’s 48-yard line. Boone took the first snap of the drive and connected with senior wideout Jamison Crowder on a 52-yard touchdown pass to put the Blue Devils up 21-7. “When I saw the ball bounce up to my hands, it was just a great feeling,” Willoughby said. “That’s the first time in my lifetime in football that I’ve touched a ball with my hands.” It looked like Duke might put the Demon Deacons in an ever bigger hole after Wake Forest botched a punt attempt in its own territory and turned the ball over to the Blue Devils at the 30-yard line. But Duke turned

the ball back over on a fourth-and-12, failing to capitalize on the short field. The Demon Deacons responded with a touchdown drive of their own, and a pair of Blue Devil field goals capped the first half scoring. Led by Boone’s passing efficiency and big plays on special teams, Duke headed to the locker room with a comfortable 13-point lead. Wake Forest took the opening drive of the second half 80 yards for a touchdown to pull within one score, but that’s as far as the Demon Deacons’ comeback would go. The Blue Devils marched the ball all the way to Wake Forest’s three-yard line before offensive lineman Casey Blaser recovered Thomas Sirk’s fumble in the end zone to put Duke back up by 13 points. “I saw the ball pop out and my instant

reaction was to try and run and go get it,” Blaser said. “I’ve never scored a touchdown actually. That was my very first one.” The big man’s touchdown would mark the end of the third-quarter scoring, as the game slowed and both teams’ defensive units took over. The Blue Devils stopped two crucial fourthdown attempts by the Demon Deacons in the third quarter—both coming inside the Duke 25-yard line—to keep Wake Forest off the board and preserve a two-score lead. “It was really fitting for senior night and for all this stuff, with so much emotion tied to it,” senior linebacker David Helton said. “Both those stops really ignited us, defensively, but also as a team.” The Blue Devil offense looked sluggish for much of the second half, but managed to salt away most of the fourth quarter with a steady rushing attack, and Duke’s defense shut out the Demon Deacons after their third quarter touchdown drive. After a Wake Forest three-and-out, the Blue Devils took over at their own 23-yard line with 12 minutes left to play. Thomas Sirk, normally a run-first quarterback, put the final nail in the coffin to cap a six-minute drive, completing one of his famous Tim Tebow-like jump passes to David Reeves for an 18-yard touchdown. “I’m really proud of the way we picked up steam and ran the football,” Cutcliffe said. “And that one drive that ended in the little pass to David Reeves was a thing of beauty.” In a game that stayed close into the third quarter, Duke missed several opportunities to bury the Demon Deacons much earlier in the game. Nevertheless, the Blue Devils managed to close out the 2014 regular season with a solid conference win and improve their resume for the approaching bowl game selections.

Seniors leave old Wallace Wade Stadium in style Delaney King Staff Writer After two straight losses at their home stadium, the Blue Devil seniors patched together an impressive performance to send their class out in style. Duke scored on 7 of its 13 drives in its 4121 win against Wake Forest Saturday night at Wallace Wade Stadium, and much of the momentum came from 28 student-athletes experiencing the final home game of their collegiate careers. “There’s not enough things I can say to compliment our seniors [and] their accomplishments since I’ve been here,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “This is a great moment for Duke football, a great moment for the university. We’ve got a lot to look forward to.... [This was] a hard-fought victory. Certainly I knew Wake would come out and play well, and they did, but I’m very proud of our team for finishing the way they did.” Adding to the end-of-an-era atmosphere was the construction equipment ready

and waiting behind the south end zone to tear up the field and begin the stadium’s renovations. On the Blue Devils’ opening drive, redshirt senior Anthony Boone passed exclusively to classmates Josh Snead and Jamison Crowder. The trio combined for 43 of the drive’s 47 yards, including the 4-yard dash to the end zone by Boone to put his team up 7-0. “I told the freshmen, ‘You watch our seniors play. As you move forward, understand what it means to be a Duke football player,’” Cutcliffe said. “A lot of these guys have changed what that meaning is. I’m happy for them—really happy.” Eleven seniors started the evening on either offense or defense and led a team that looked almost unrecognizable from the one they joined four years ago. Duke had just three wins in both the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. Fast-forward to Saturday night, and the same group of athletes can celebrate 19 wins in the past two years, the first time any Blue Devil squad has See Seniors on Page 8

Texas A&M storms back, steals win from Duke Brian Mazur Staff Writer For Duke, a complete performance in the game’s first 25 minutes wasn’t enough to garner a victory. On the other hand, Texas A&M proved that it needed less than 15 minutes of play to overcome a large deficit and knock off a ranked team on its home court. The No. 7 Aggies stormed back from a 15-point deficit, outscoring No. 8 Duke 3314 in the final 11 minutes of the second half to notch a 63-59 victory Sunday afternoon at Reed Arena in DUKE 59 College Station, Texas A&M 63 Texas. The Blue Devils’ first loss of the season drops them to 6-1 on the season entering a critical matchup with No. 15 Nebraska Wednesday. “Our team is hungry,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “We’re not very happy about that game, it is a stinger because off the opportunities that we had with the missed layups. We deserve better and I think this team understands that.” Just as the energy was starting to drain out of Reed Arena, Texas A&M (7-0) found the offense it had been searching for all afternoon. Guard Jordan Jones, the brother of Duke guard Matt Jones, scored seven points during a 19-4 run that tied the game at 49 with 6:42 left.

it. Before that shot clock hit zero, we got off a great shot. Guys set great screens, our guards did a great job getting into the lane today.” With Duke ahead by a slim 14-11 score with just more than 11 minutes remaining before halftime, the Blue Devils again worked deep into the shot clock with the Army defense proving tough to crack. Off a broken play, the ball swung to Jones, who had no choice but to launch a triple from a step beyond the arc. Swish. Jones’ trey ignited the first Duke run of the afternoon, a 7-0 spurt that was quelled only briefly by a 3-pointer from Army’s Kyle Wilson. After the junior’s basket cut the lead to 21-14, the Blue Devils rattled off the next six and looked poised to seal the game in the first half as it had in its other three home contests this season. But Wilson would not let that happen. Army’s leading scorer poured in 17 points in the first half, finishing both in the lane and from beyond the arc. A 5-0 Army run in the half’s waning minutes cut into the Duke lead, and the Blue Devils headed to the locker room leading only 41-28. After not making a field goal in either of Duke’s last two contests, Jones got into a rhythm early against the Black Knights (5-1). The Apple Valley, Minn., native dropped in a pair of floaters early before hitting the key triple from the right wing to fuel the Blue Devil run. Krzyzeweski said that the Blue Devils have put Jones in more ball-screen action of late, allowing the floor general to attack the rim looking to either score or find open teammates. With Army’s defense keying on

Jesús Hidalgo | The Chronicle Redshirt freshman Rebecca Greenwell paced Duke with 23 points against No. 7 Texas A&M.

The run came as the Blue Devils began to cool off from the floor, missing a handful of shots that led to Aggie fast breaks on the other end. The larger and slower Duke team had a hard time slowing down the Texas A&M attack on the defensive end, especially during the second half, leading to 18 critical fast break points on the afternoon. “We had very poor shot selection in second half, which we didn’t have in the first half,” McCallie said. “Unfortunately this helped ignite them. They are a fast Okafor, Jones found room to look for his own shot, but more important were his 10 assists— half of Duke’s total—and zero giveaways with Army playing at a run-and-gun pace. “[Jones] played a heck of a game this afternoon,” Krzyzewski said. “His ego is not defined by shooting, which is really uncommon in today’s day and age. Most kids define themselves when they hit a shot. [For Tyus], it’s about how his team’s playing, and in that way he’s pretty mature.” After haltime, the Black Knights continued to threaten. Head coach Zach Spiker’s team plays at one of the quicker paces in the country, and after being mostly bottled up in the first half, Army got out in transition in the final 20 minutes. Point guard Dylan Cox snuck ahead of the pack for three lay-ups to keep the Black Knights within striking distance, shrinking the deficit each time Duke seemed ready to pull away. “We played really well and then had a couple lapses and then—’Boom’—they came right back,” Krzyzewski said. “When they got down by about 20, [Cox] just said, ‘We’re not going to stop today.’” Wilson didn’t get the same open looks in the second half—his only two points after intermission came from the charity stripe—which Jefferson chalked up to better communication from the Duke defense. Krzyzewski said Army’s up-tempo style initially disrupted the Blue Devil game-plan of not leaving Wilson for the help-side, since different Duke players were tasked with picking up the Black Knight guard each time Army pushed downcourt. Inside, the Black Knight comeback bid hit a 6-foot-11 snag in the form of Okafor. The Chicago product scored more than 20 points for the second straight game, helping the Blue Devils rack up 50 points in the

transition team, they converted and did a nice job.” Although Rebecca Greenwell’s free throws put the Blue Devils back on top 5352 with less than five minutes to play, the Aggies’ Courtney Williams responded with a rare 3-pointer—Texas A&M shot only 17 percent from long range on the afternoon— to swing the momentum back to the home team moments later. Williams finished the game with a teamhigh 21 points and three rebounds, with

12 points coming in the second half. Jones also upped her second half production with 10 points and seven assists in the final 20 minutes. A pair of Amber Henson free throws tied the game at 55, but Duke would struggle to maintain control of the game in the final minutes. Williams and Jones both knocked down jumpers to give Texas A&M a 6157 with 1:15 to play. On the ensuing Blue Devil possession, freshman Lynee Belton, who saw extended minutes with Elizabeth Williams sidelined with an ankle injury, committed an offensive foul away from the ball, giving the Aggies the ball back with a minute to play. Duke was held scoreless until the final seconds of the game, failing to put up points until Stevens knocked down a layup to cut the Texas A&M lead to four points. Despite the Aggies’ strong finish, there was not much foreshadowing of their big run. Coming out of the locker room, Texas A&M found some offense, passing around the Duke zone to go on a 7-2 run in the first five minutes of the second half. But after the first media timeout, the Blue Devils reeled off eight straight points to take a 45-30 lead after an Azura Stevens layup, their largest lead of the afternoon. “The team did a good job executing, being patient on offense, being crafty and trying to find [openings] in their defense,” See W.

paint, compared to just 26 for Army. Okafor and Jefferson also combined for 11 offensive rebounds that kept possessions alive and led to 20 second-chance points. When Okafor checked back in after a second-half rest, the center scored five straight points to lead the 14-4 charge that would put the game out of reach. The first bucket of Okafor’s 5-0 personal run came on a thunderous alley-oop from Jones, as Krzyzewski dusted off an out-of-bounds play from the archives to give his team a boost. “We had two out-of-bounds play that we hadn’t used for a while that he got two dunks on,” Krzyzewski said. “Every once in awhile when you can call a guy’s number and get something [productive], it can get you maybe a spurt, and I thought he had it

and it excited everybody. They’re monstrous dunks.” With a little more than 11 minutes to play, Okafor split a pair of free throws, but Jefferson corralled the errant attempt. The ball swung outside to the other Blue Devil captain, Quinn Cook, who deposited his first trey of the game to push the lead to 19. Army answered with a bucket on the other end, but Jones fed junior Rasheed Sulaimon beautifully with a quick low bounce pass in transition to keep the Black Knights at bay. Duke now shifts its focus to Wednesday night’s prime-time showdown at No. 2 Wisconsin—also undefeated—in the ACC/ Big Ten challenge. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. from the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisc.

SENIORS

continued from page 6 won nine-plus games in back-to-back seasons. “We’re 9-3 now. When I was a freshman, we were 3-9, so it’s really changed,” senior linebacker David Helton said. “It’s really incredible to walk out on the last game in this stadium knowing how much has changed in my four years—it’s truly incredible…. It’s really a great class, and I’m very proud of them.” The squad can boast more team achievements such as three consecutive bowl games and last season’s 10-win explosion, but many players can also look back on individual careers with pride. Saturday night’s win gave redshirt senior wide receiver Isaac Blakeney a career-high seven receptions and 107 receiving yards, and Boone’s 275 yards in the air were a seasonhigh. Crowder’s 3,437 career receiving yards after Saturday night moved him to the top of the ACC charts, helped along by a seasonbest 52-yard touchdown reception at the end of the first quarter. “A lot of it was just senior night,” Crowder said. “We had to come out here and play hard and connect, and we were able to do that.” On the other side of the ball, Helton and safety Jeremy Cash maintained pressure on

Stadium is. It will be a new stadium, but it will be recognizable as Wallace Wade Stadium. I think what it will do more than anything else is become more and more fanfriendly.” The Finch-Yeager Building will come down while students are away for winter break and construction will begin in early January, White said. The new press box and concourse level—which includes a new plaza and gate entrances—will be under construction throughout 2015 but “should be done before the 2016 season,” according to the athletic department’s official release. In the meantime, the athletic department will explore several options regarding the placement of media next year. The most likely resolution would be to seat members of the press around the top of the bowl in tented areas. “[2015] is going to be a temporary solution for a lot of things, including media,” Jon Jackson, senior associate athletics director for external affairs said. “There’s literally three or four different scenarios that could play out—the most aggressive being if they got occupancy for one floor, there’s potential to do the media in the press area and I’ve seen other stadiums that have done it. Most likely, outside, under shelter.” In addition to the new building, there will be several other projects underway throughout the 2015 season, meaning the areas surrounding Wallace Wade will be crowded in the coming year. “In April, the frontal addition for Cameron [Indoor Stadium] and the—I call it the addendum building in the front of Murray [Building]—Scott Pavillion, those things will start to be in construction mode,” White said. “We’re going to have heavy-duty construction around here for a long time once it’s all underway. Then of course we’re creating a plaza out there. So when you put

true freshman quarterback John Wolton. The Demon Deacon starter was sacked twice by Cash and hurried three times by Helton, and the two defensive leaders combined for 13 tackles, working with the rest of the defense to hold the Wake Forest rushing effort to 2.7 yards per carry. Many underclassmen brought hope for future Duke squads in the wake of such an impressive senior performance. Junior running back Shaquille Powell led the team’s rushing effort with 63 yards on 16 carries. Redshirt sophomore safety DeVon Edwards totaled 13 tackles, the most of any Blue Devil defender. Freshman running back Shaun Wilson added 22 yards to his season total, rising to second place in the conference for yards rushed as a rookie. His 590 yards have included five touchdowns, the third-most by a freshman in Duke history. “[I tell the younger players] to continually get better,” Helton said. “That all sounds very simple, but that’s what we’ve been doing here ever since we’ve been here—continually getting better, each and every day, even when things go bad.” At the end of regulation, players and coaches remained on the field and welcomed fans to join them in celebrating the groundbreaking of renovations to Wallace Wade Stadium that will be completely finished by 2016.

all those pieces together, there will be a heck of a lot going on.” Aside from the Wallace Wade renovations, a pair of other projects started earlier this year are nearing completion. White said the new Williams Track is now just two weeks away from occupancy and Kennedy Tower—which will service both Koskinen Stadium and the new track—will be completed by Christmas. The renovations have more supporters than just White and Cutcliffe, as numerous students and fans joined them on the field following the Blue Devils’ win. Even with the heavy amounts of construction going on throughout East and West Campus, the students on-hand felt it was the best move for the program if it hopes to ride its current wave of success and bring in more fans. “It feels like it’s not that different because the rest of our campus is going under renovations,” Trinity senior John Davis said. “But besides that, I think it’s a great move forward for our football program. I think the momentum that we have going forward, hopefully the momentum can only go up from here. I think having a bigger and better stadium will keep that momentum going and keep fans coming.” With a larger stadium comes a demand to fill more seats, including those in the student section. Despite not filling the section on multiple occasions this year, Trinity senior Zeena Bhakta is confident the student attendance will only continue to grow, as evidenced through the trend she has seen in her time at Duke, “The biggest change that I’ve seen is the student section,” Bhakta said. “The student section is much better than it’s been, even our freshman year. Seeing more people get hyped about football is awesome and I hope that trend continues.” As the construction gets underway, the Blue Devils will spend the next week resting before their bowl bid is announced Sunday, Dec. 7.

stands first opened in 1929 as the first sports facility on the school’s West Campus. In 1967, the stadium was renamed to honor Wallace Wade, who served as head coach from 1931-50, taking a break from 1942-45 for military service. Wade coached in the 1942 Rose Bowl that was hosted at Duke Stadium after the Pearl Harbor attack rendered the West Coast too risky for large sporting events. Wade also coached the 1938 “Iron Dukes,” who held every opponent scoreless until reaching the Rose Bowl. “I’m very aware of the history,” Cutcliffe said. “I went this week and really researched, and I looked at Wallace Wade at a lot of stages. Duke Stadium had a lot of stages and then Wallace Wade…. Everybody that’s ever played here will be pleased with what’s going to be the end product and what Wallace Wade Stadium will look like.” The seniors leave Wallace Wade Stadium with a two-season record of 19-7, compared to 9-16 for their first two years on the field. Although some may look ahead to the opportunity to play professionally, all 28 athletes will remember their contribution to closing this chapter of Wallace Wade with a win. “History [was] made tonight,” Cutcliffe said. “It couldn’t happen to a better bunch of young men. They earned it, and I’m certainly looking forward to wherever we end up.”

McCallie said. “I thought we got some good stops down the stretch that matched what we did offensively. That was what we needed [later] in the second half.” Stevens, a true freshman, continues to have an impressive first season with Duke, scoring 15 points and grabbing seven rebounds in the loss. She showcased her versatility between the paint and the backcourt, leaving Aggie defenders scrambling to defend her all afternoon. The Blue Devils looked in control during the first half, taking a 19-12 lead behind Greenwell’s 12 points in the games’ first 11 minutes. The redshirt freshman finished with a career-high 23 points and five rebounds. Another promising statistic that emerges from the loss is that Greenwell entered the game hitting only 28 percent of her shots behind the arc, far below preseason expectations. But the Owensboro, Ky. native found her stroke, draining 3-of-6 attempts from long range on the afternoon. Even after a big first half, the the Aggies’ late momentum rattled Greenwell, who

only had nine points in the second half, and the rest of the Duke team. “In the first half, we did a really good job controlling the tempo,” Greenwell said. “Once they started coming back and the crowd starting getting into it we got a little wired up. I thought we just needed to maintain our composure.” Duke clearly missed the services of AllAmerican center Elizabeth Williams, who was sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in Friday’s 72-42 win against Stony Brook. McCallie would not comment on Williams’ status after the game, although the injury does not seem to be serious. To make matters worse, sophomore forward Oderah Chidom committed her fourth foul early in the second half, forcing freshmen Belton and Stevens into big minutes late in the game. “That was tough,” Greenwell said of Williams’ absence. “But we definitely had that game in our hands and just threw it away. We can’t use that as an excuse at all.” The Blue Devils travel to Lincoln, Neb., this week to try to bounce back against a talented and undefeated Cornhuskers team Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The game will be televised on the Big 10 Network.

The ideal housing model

f the 180 juniors who applied for off-campus housing in the Spring, only 51 received exemptions—a lower number than in previous years. The high volume of students setting their sights beyond Duke’s residence halls their junior and senior years, and the low number of juniors who received housing exemptions, raise questions regarding the ef-

Editorial ficacy of the current housing model and the sense of community fostered therein. Launched three years ago, the new residential model transitioned from quad-based communities to a house system in hopes of creating equitable housing options for independent students and fostering community. In many ways, the housing model has cultivated positive change—crests emblazoned with “Hart House” and “The Shire” are heartening. Several houses, with the leadership of house councils, resident assistants and graduate residents, have succeeded in fostering strong communities. Yet, the mass of students seeking off-campus options and last year’s record number of sophomores opting out of independent housing to rush selective living groups, fraternities and sororities suggest that

this vision for community, three years into the model, has not yet been achieved. Last year, independent students reported a lack of community. Why? One issue may be the exorbitant cost of on-campus living: for the 2013-2014 academic year, room and board averaged $12,902 with a breakdown of $7,240 for housing and $5,662 for meals. For many, it is simply more economical to seek off-campus apartments that are cheaper and offer more space and amenities. More broadly, however, the issue is that, under the current housing model, some students who opt into selective living groups have agency over their residential communities, while independent students are sorted through a lottery process. This selection process detracts from the diversity of the residential life experience—an independent student would be unlikely to live down the hall from a student in a sorority, for example. One potential resolution would be to dissolve the residential component of selective living groups and greek organizations. Instead, all students would have the ability to choose a block of 10 and enter the lottery system equally. This system of blocking should ensure that students be able to live next door to their blockmates or, at the very least, in the same hall rather than separated across floors as occurs under the current model. While there would still be chapters

If you actually took the time to read the 1,000 pages of grand jury documents, it would become readily apparent to you that there was absolutely no case against Wilson, nor any reason to indict him.

hanksgiving is the ultimate American holiday. I think of it as a time to enjoy the company of friends and family, reflect on the privilege of our lives, and also eat delicious Thanksgiving food. “Thanksgiving food” is typically mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, turkey and pumpkin pie. I still remember the first time we hosted a Thanksgiving dinner in my house in Boise, Idaho. I was in elementary school and eagerly sat on the kitchen counter while both of my parents hoisted that enormous bird back and forth out of the oven. They let me whisk the potatoes and put whipped cream on the pie, so I counted it as a very successful dinner. This year, my family was hosting Thanksgiv-

berry sauce. But instead of turkey, the center of the table hosted a delicious tandoori chicken. Other than the fact that everyone in my family enjoyed the food more than we usually do on Thanksgiving, I felt that having an Indian spiced chicken instead of a turkey was kind of symbolic. Being the child of immigrants, I have always thought that I sat at cultural crossroads of sorts. My parents and I navigated our lives as both Indians and Americans and created a culture of our own that borrowed from both. Sometimes it was difficult—such as my struggle to maintain the ability to speak an Indian language. Sometimes, it was empowering and fun—like when I took classical Indian dance lessons. Other

and networks of students, they would not necessarily live together, reverting back to the model practiced prior to 2010, when the sororities of the Panhellenic Association did not live together. By eliminating the spaces built specifically for selective living groups and greek life, students would have greater opportunity to expand their social circles beyond their self-selected organizations. Admittedly, the challenge lies in the balance between allowing students agency over their residential locations and having the residential system strengthen a broader Duke community. We believe the goal of the housing model lies in the latter. In order for any housing model to work, however, students must be willing to build community with members of their houses beyond their blocks or their selective groups. Furthermore, communities built in the residence halls can be strengthened beyond the dorm walls in communal spaces—Marketplace, for example, has long been touted as a central component to the first-year living experience. When reminiscing on our college experience, the memories that stand out the most are the people we meet and the communities we form. The new housing model remains nascent and may require time to develop, but we remain hopeful that improvements can strengthen communities.

ing dinner again. We went to the grocery store, ready to buy our usual host of ingredients. But this time, when my mom reached for a juicy turkey, my dad sighed. I asked him if something was wrong. “No, nothing at all,” he laughed, “I guess I’ve just never been a fan of turkey.” “Me neither,” said my mom as she placed the turkey in the cart, “I really dislike how the meat smells.” At this point my little sister jumped on board telling us that she always found turkey to be dry and bland. So there we were, all four Raos standing next to a whole freezer full of turkeys, although apparently none of us wanted to eat one. So naturally, I suggested that we put the turkey back. The suggestion was met with defiance. “It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a turkey!” my sister cried out. But as we stood there, staring at the unappetizing bird in our cart my dad said something interesting. “You know what I have always loved, though? Your mom’s chicken tandoori.” So this year, at Thanksgiving dinner, there was no turkey. There was football and salad and cran-

times, it was just plain weird as my friends were forced to listen to a strange mix of country and Bollywood music from my iPod. Having tandoori at Thanksgiving this year was an example of the ever-changing definition of what it means to be American. As we ate our chicken and talked about how much better it was than turkey, my parents told us stories about their first Thanksgiving in the U.S. as graduate students. Growing up, they were used to rice with dishes like paneer jalfrezi—cheese and roasted vegetables—and daal chaval, a thick lentil soup. They were horrified by the texture of the mashed potatoes and the lack of spices in the turkey. My dad claims that he exclusively ate cranberry sauce and my mom only ate pie. Now, 21 years later, they’re eating Thanksgiving dinner with their own kids while eating tandoori and ladoos. Who knows? Maybe next year we’ll find a replacement for those potatoes.

The plunge

fter spending a semester of giving amazing advice to the most hopeless and desperate freaks around, your guardian devil is need of an emergency vacation ASAP because your problems and issues and feelings are starting to affect me personally. I’d like to believe that my last 14 pieces effectively dealt with the mess you call your lives, but truth be told I guess there are larger, deep-seated personal issues at hand that I’m not capable of handling without being compensated more, or going crazy. So, I’m done. Despite a best effort, your guardian devil is handing control of your feeble minds back to those who own it—the University.

If there was something I wrote that was truly awful, it would be easier to blame you all, The Chronicle or something tangible—but what good would that do? Being Monday Monday was something I had always thought about doing. I was encouraged by several close friends to apply for the position and was lucky enough to receive it, though I couldn’t exactly tell you why. I don’t consider myself to be any funnier or more insightful than my classmates, but like maybe I’m blessed, so whatever. Regardless, even if this semester’s series hasn’t been the faux-enlightening experience I intended it to be for my audience, it was enlightening for me, especially as my time at Duke is coming to a close.

Monday Monday

small or large they might be. I’m not trying to make this piece something out of Mean Girls, but if there’s one thing I’ve realized throughout my time in college, it’s this—you’ll never know what’s going on under the surface, if you don’t bother to take the plunge. In light of what I’ve learned as Monday Monday and throughout my Duke career, I do have one last piece of advice—be accountable. Be accountable by owning up to your mistakes and learning from them. Be accountable by holding yourself to a higher standard, before you hold anyone else to it. Be accountable by creating a standard that you want to reach, not one defined by others. Be accountable by being authentic and real. Be accountable by being comfortable, and be comfortable by not hiding who you are or how you feel, because the totality of your personhood—your thoughts, feelings, hopes, and desires—is just as important as everyone else’s. Be accountable to others by being yourself. I’ve come to believe that we are all perfect because we are all unique and that by being accountable, we can come a little closer to finding ourselves. Writing Monday Monday columns this semester has been a privilege, as I’ve been given a voice. In this way, be accountable to yourself and to others because you have a unique voice, even if real life isn’t some populist

WITH DISDAIN, YOUR GUARDIAN DEVIL Here’s the truth. Under the self-involved, callous and fake veneer of your guardian devil, there have been times throughout my time at Duke when I have been absolutely miserable, completely frustrated and inconsolably angry. There have been times, more often than I’d like, when I’ve struggled academically, been utterly disappointed and felt that no one has had any faith in me. And there have been times when I’ve been unhappy socially and personally or times when I’ve wished I was someone else or somewhere else because I wasn’t good enough. And, I’ll go so far as to bet that everyone here has, to some extent, felt the same way. Yet, you and I both know that it’s so much easier to hide everything under a false smile, a couple of “I’m fine”s and a copious amount of mental diversion. Your guardian devil’s complete defiance of normalcy in experiences, goals, emotional maturity or care was meant to expose the commonality of the Duke experience—no, not something like DukeEngage or Econ 101, but the real personal subtleties. I’m guilty of ignoring this commonality—the commonality that underneath how we appear, we all feel happiness and sadness, and that we are all battling our own demons, however

blog like Humans of New York. As a column, Monday Monday is about anonymity. And although I loved this semester, it’s a great relief to be free from writing in the shadows, to bear a little bit while writing as myself. I’m still learning to take my own advice and truly be myself—I realize that I’m a work in progress. Despite the challenges of this semester and ones prior, I know I’ve gotten a little closer to being more accountable, to being me. Your guardian devil is gone, but I hope that you all are able to do what he couldn’t—be yourself. Good luck on all of your final exams, papers, presentations, projects, marathons, personal relationships, sleep schedules, self-control etc. and have a great winter break! I need a vacation.

Study session

ith exams fast approaching, it’s time to finally start doing the semester’s assigned readings and reviewing teachers’ slides on Sakai. Now that you know what you need to do, you need to know where to do it. You’re looking to actually study, not just make people think you have it all together like you’ve been doing all semester. The most obvious place to work is Perkins, and this is a good choice some of the time. It can be tempting to take the first open seat, which will inevitably be on the first floor—don’t. The first floor is for people who want—no, need—to be seen at Perkins. You came to work, not socialize. Head for the nearest stairwell, pick either direction, and walk until there are no more steps. If you head for the basement stacks, you’re in luck. You can work down there without any regard for time—there are no windows so you’ll never know what the time is. There are also study rooms that you don’t have to reserve—ideal for anyone who isn’t in an organization that plans in advance to always have a study room reserved. If you go upstairs, consider the Carpenter reading room on the second floor of Bostock. Just make sure you don’t go there in the afternoon or the Sun will blind you—that is unless you want to be sweatin’ without all the legal issues associated with Molly. Do not attempt to work at any of the tables or cubbies on the bridge connecting Perkins and Bostock—this area is too heavily trafficked and your chair will get bumped. Avoid the Perk for the same reasons, in addition to its out-of-control air conditioning

Justin Koritzinsky SOUNDOFFS FROM EDENS and music selection whose only unifying characteristic is that no one wants to listen to it. Once it gets late and the committed hunker down, there are more choices. Now that the Link is beginning to clear out, it’s a legitimate option. You can even reserve a study room starting at midnight—people never reserve rooms into the next day, so you can slip in and reserve a room at midnight and consequently kick people out. If you’re not interested in trekking all the way to Perkins, follow the light—that is, look for well-lit areas that don’t have windows that let the darkness in. This may mean the Divinity School library, where Divinity school students are able to inhumanly concentrate on their work, or the Chapel basement. Forgo the Bryan Center, if not for its limited accessibility due to construction, then for its 24-hour distraction, the McDonalds. The large television playing Sports Center is also an insurmountable barrier to work and the truth is that they are very few well-lit areas to study in the Bryan Center. If you’re in the Gothics, you’ve got very few options. If you’re in Edens, you have even fewer. Fortunately, these students are just a short walk away from Keohane quad, which has many good study areas. Any of the buildings except 4E are good options— don’t go to 4E, as the common areas and atrium are open and loud, and there’s a good chance you’ll get shot with a nerf gun. McClendon Tower is a go-to for those seeking the coffee shop atmosphere—so not me. There are comfortable couches and tables and little judgment when you spend more time getting snacks from the market than working. If you’re unfortunate enough to be stuck on East Campus, pass over Lily in favor of Biddle, which is arguably East Campus’s best kept secret. The building is a far better place to study than its architecture would suggest. There’s even a water feature Richard—it has what House Hunters would call good bones, and is just in need of a facelift. The music library also has a hidden study room and tables with lots of work space. The place is so quiet that you can even work in the lobby that everyone who enters has to pass through. Biddle is the extent of my study spots on East though. Obviously, this is an incomplete list limited by the knowledge of its author. Feel free to comment your favorite study spots below at risk of them no longer being secret—any disagreements with the author’s suggestions should be posted in the comments sections of a randomly selected article on The Chronicle’s website.

DKU celebrates its grand opening Duke Kunshan University celebrated its grand opening this month with a two-day event. The event—much awaited after significant delays halted the opening—highlighted ties between the American and Chinese education systems in order to address societal problems. It featured a tour of the campus, celebratory speeches and a discussion on the relationship between Duke and DKU—which focused on the issue of academic freedom. Nora Bynum, vice provost of DKU and China initiatives, had previously

noted that “academic freedom is a perpetual problem in China,” but Duke has made clear its commitments to academic freedom at DKU. The event further celebrated the three-way partnership between Duke, Wuhan University and the city of Kunshan, with speeches from all parties underlining the impact of DKU on the future of Sino-American relations. President Richard Brodhead emphasized how grateful Duke is for the strong support received from its partners, including the city of Kunshan that created DKU. Peter Lange, former provost and current chair of the DKU Board of Trustees, added that DKU is meant to inspire innovation on Duke’s campus as well, highlighting the importance of learning through living in a new environment with a different culture.

The Chronicle is, and, later, one in Jefferson City, then returned the next day to the point where they stopped walking. Derrick Copeland, a chef from Kansas City, Missouri, said he took the week off work to march with his teenage nephews. “The government and the police have robbed us of our pride, but we still have the strength to march,” Copeland said. “It could have been me or my brother,” said DaRon Simms, 19, one of the nephews, who just started at the University of Central Missouri. Charles Pannell, 55, an Army veteran who was stationed in Korea in the 1970s, marched in camouflage and carried a large cross. Now it’s time to serve at home, he said. “We can’t get it right somewhere else if in our own back yard we’re killing babies in the streets, 12-year-olds with toy guns.”

Back on Canfield Drive in Ferguson, before the NAACP march began, a handful of residents marched around the makeshift Brown memorial of flowers and stuffed animals in the middle of the street. They objected when elegantly dressed leaders of the Progressive National Baptist Convention, who had a meeting in the area, pulled up in a Jaguar and a BMW and attracted media cameras. “Hello, we’re talking here!” resident Copwatch organizer David Whitt shouted at the men in suits and hats and the women with jewels. “Come on, you all get out of here. Show some respect!” The Baptist brass decamped. Then about 75 bikers from area motorcycle clubs, including Dem Boys, pulled up to the memorial and revved their engines to much more enthusiastic response from residents. The bikers held a 4 1/2-minute moment of silence. Biker leader Harlan Smith, a Ferguson native, said he was a former police officer, like several of the bikers. He said he was not taking sides in the dispute over Brown’s killing. “We’re for peaceful demonstrations,” he said. “Tearing up my neighborhood is not going to be accepted.” The march began after a prayer and a gospel song at the memorial. Turning onto West Florissant Avenue, they walked past volunteers painting the plywood covering shop windows that were smashed on Monday night after the grand jury decision was announced. A little girl in pigtails on a porch called out to them with the slogan of the movement: Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons “Hands up, don’t shoot!” The Journey for Justice procession was led by At the end of each day, the marchers will Cornell William Brooks to the residence of be bused to a church in downtown St. Lou- Missouri governor Jay Nixon, pictured above.
