CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

#WeAreHereDuke urges culture change around sexual assault “We are here to talk, we are here as advocates, we are here to listen and we are here to make change” Kali Shulklapper University Editor

As Duke’s sexual assault policies continue to be revised, a student-run campaign is encouraging community action across campuses nationwide.

The #WeAreHereDuke campaign—run by students and faculty of a theater studies course titled “Telling Stories for Social Change: Confronting Sexual and Domestic Violence at Duke and in Durham”—is an outgrowth of the class’s attempt to create dialogue and spark community action.

Through social media and public policy efforts, the course aims to change the cultures that promote sexual violence.

“The social media campaign is to say we are here for survivors, as survivors—we have visibility on campus,” said Madeleine Lambert, co-instructor of the course. “We are here to talk, we are here as advocates, we are here to listen and we are here to make change.”

The class recently submitted a policy letter to the Gender Violence Task Force and held a public performance Wednesday night, bringing together personal narratives and monologues from survivors of sexual assault, social workers and activists.

The course is one of several student-led initiatives aiming to increase awareness of sexual assault and transparency regarding Duke’s policies on the topic.

Senior Ashley Pollard, a survivor of sexual assault, founded the organization Duke Support to offer guidance to survivors and promote policy changes. Pollard said she was deeply frustrated when her perpetrator received no sanctions after she brought her case forward to the Office of Student Conduct. The incident, she said, enabled her to reach out to other survivors on campus and create a network to broaden the dialogue.

Pollard said that activism became part of her Duke Support’s agenda after meeting Lambert, who sought members of the organization to inform her class’s policy decisions.

Despite representation from the student perspective, there are still barriers to being heard, she said.

“I think a challenge is the bureaucracy of it all,” Pollard

Freshman Tyus Jones scored a team-high 22 points as the Blue Devils took down the Badgers Wednesday evening Nick Martin Sports Editor MADISON, Wis.—With all the attention on the Jahlil OkaforFrank Kaminsky matchup heading into Wednesday’s top-5 clash, it seemed like somebody forgot to remind Wisconsin about Blue Devil point guard Tyus Jones.

Behind Jones’ 22-point, six-rebound and four-assist performance, No. 4 Duke took down No. 2 Wisconsin 80-70 at the Kohl Center. The Blue Devils jumped out to a 22-16 lead in the first half and kept the Badgers at bay for the remainder of the game to secure their second win against a ranked opponent and eighth-straight victory to start the season. The win gave

the ACC its fourth triumph in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, which the Big Ten had already won and now leads 8-4.

“It was great. They had a great crowd and we knew, being here, we’d get the full effect,” Jones said. “We knew we had to lean on each other because it was going to be us against everybody in there.... My teammates gave me confidence, coaches gave me confidence and believed in me and that helps a lot.”

Jones lit up the Badgers (7-1) for eight points in the first half, including a pair of back-to-back 3-pointers with less than three minutes left to preserve Duke’s lead, Jones continued to have the hot hand in the second half, adding 14 more points.

The freshman used an array of jump shots and drives to frustrate the Wisconsin defense and maintain the slim lead.

“Tyus has played really well for us in the first seven games,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “[Associate head coach] Jeff Capel—in the last six, seven minutes—he said, ‘Coach, let’s go to him. He’s a winner.’ So that high ball-screen went to him at

said. “The policy changes come with a lot of time, deliberation and input from a lot of different people. At the same time we’re trying to lift these [proactive] voices, there are still people saying we should push back or think logically.”

The #WeAreHereDuke campaign, Lambert said, is about creating a space on campus where peoples’ voices can be heard—as survivors and as advocates, with men included.

“Women have obviously been leading this charge for forever and will continue to do it, but we need men to get involved,” Lambert said. “The hashtag is also for men to stand up, take action and effect change.”

The class’s performance Wednesday night—which conveyed to a full Sheafer Theater the powerful and haunting effects of sexual violence—included narratives from both women and men.

“We are not bad men, so therefore we are good men,” sophomore Andrew TanDelli Cicchi said in his monologue. “We are as useless as we are benign.”

The policy letter, which Lambert’s class presented to the Task Force Wednesday, contains data and input from Duke victimsurvivors, Duke Student Government, the Women’s Center, the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity and Duke Support.

The recommendations include offering students the option to see a female dean or administrator, barring offenders found responsible from pursuing certain campus leadership positions and making the definition of sexual violence more inclusive for non-heterosexual or cisgendered orientations and relationships.

“There are already a lot of reasons why someone doesn’t report, so it’s about making the process more in tune with someone who’s coming forward,” Lambert said, noting that changes can be made down to the room where student conduct hearings take place—with the possibility of making the partition that separates the accused and the accuser completely opaque. “Even something that small can make a difference.”

Pollard added that in her own experience, it was traumatic to be able to see the outline of the hands and feet of her perpe-

trator.

She further emphasized the need for information to be provided in a clear and succinct manner, perhaps most notably to incoming freshman. She added that DSG is currently working on a fact sheet on the sexual misconduct policy, which will provide information to students in a more salient way.

“There is a clear miscommunication [between] what students know about the misconduct policy and what the administration wants students to know,” she said. “People need to be educated about the facts, about what actually happens when you report.

There should be upfront information.”

Lambert added that Duke, and specifically the Gender Violence Task Force, has been incredibly supportive of and receptive to her class’s work.

“We’re all trying to do the same thing,” Lambert said. “We’re all trying to make this better, to say we’re here, we are Duke and we are trying to move forward with this.”

Partnerships are key, Pollard said, adding that collaboration between different student groups allows their input to make more of an impact.

“I think when policies are simply provided by the administration, it just seems very distant,” Pollard said. “If students bring forth changes and issues they see, other students will listen to them.”

This past week, A.O. Scott of The New York Times curated a conversation between a group of nine contemporary artists ranging from rapper J. Cole to poet Patricia Lockwood in order to ask the question: is our art equal to the challenges of our times? In his piece introducing the conversation, Scott was less interested in what constitutes the challenges of our times and more interested in what he calls “the political economy of art,” that is “how artists are affected by changes in the distribution of wealth and the definition of work.”

In response to Scott’s question, playwright Lisa D’Amour and writer Eddie Huang each posited a different response to the climate for artists today.

Lisa D’Amour: “It is nearly impossible now to live in a city with a part-time ‘money job’ and the rest of your week to discover your art. If you wake up every morning in a panic about money and security, it shuts down a lot of opportunity for creativity. This sentiment, of course, opens up a whole can of worms about privilege and who is allowed to take the risks of art making.”

Eddie Huang: “A lot of the things we’ve hung onto and leaned on, thinking they were forever, are falling apart, and people are being forced to think for themselves.

For a while, Americans felt invincible, or that our economy was forever, but it’s not.

We gave up a lot to the idea of trickledown economics, intellectual property law, the market, neo-liberalism, and look where it’s gotten us? There is no middle class, there are no safe jobs, and when it’s cold outside, people start to develop skills. They start to question, and that’s when a society becomes dangerous in a

Recess chats with alum and musician Eric Oberstein Sid Gopinath Playground Editor The Chronicle: To start off, can you briefly explain what you do at Duke?

Eric Obserstein: I am the associate director at Duke Performances. We are Duke’s professional Performing Arts Presenting Organization. I am kind of the utility player in the office: I manage and coordinate our artist residencies. So I oversee and plan all of the campus and community engagement our artists do when they come to town. That includes bringing them to Duke classes, organizing those public conversations, producing master classes...things like that.

I also write grants in our office. I oversee budgeting and strategic planning and

So, I am a Duke alum. And they started a new residency at a venue I graduated in 2007.

The second resident orchestra there was the I was a big fan of theirs, so I filled out Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, which is an 18-piece one of those little survey cards they put in Latin jazz, big band ensemble directed by programs, and then I flipped it over and wrote Arturo O’Farrill. Arturo is a pianist, composer, a small note to Arturo saying, “Hey, I’m a big band leader and son of legendary Cuban fan of the orchestra. I interned at Jazz at the composer and arranger Chico O’Farrill. So, Lincoln Center. I’m in New York studying arts Arturo was carrying on that legacy in New management and would love to help you out York. if you need any help with the non-profit.”

I didn’t hear from them, and then, finally, ten months later I got an email from Arturo’s wife. They had found my audience response card in their kitchen under a stack of papers and emailed me inviting me to their home asking if I wanted to help them out.

TC: Wow! That’s pretty crazy.

EO: Yeah! Never throw away those pieces of paper! It became very clear that we were going to do a lot of work together over the years.

My mom’s family came from Cuba after the Revolution when she was six, so I grew up around Cuban music, Latin music, Latin jazz, so this was kind of a dream opportunity for me. I started as Arturo’s Assistant Director.

They had no staff at the time, and they had a small board of directors. So I started in that

role, and once I finished grad school, I was hired as their first full-time staff member–as their first executive director–and basically managed that organization full time from 2010 to 2012.

I returned to Duke in October 2012 at Aaron Greenwald’s invitation. I was Aaron’s very first intern at Duke Performances, so he was a close friend and mentor. It was hard to turn down that invitation.

So, the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance is a nonprofit that I managed, and it–in addition to supporting the work of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra–is dedicated to Afro Latin Jazz performance, education, preservation at large. And I was involved in lots of different efforts while I was there.

But because of my background as a musician and because of my experience in the studio (I had done internships in studio settings before), Arturo invited me into the studio to produce, first, his sextet album in 2009, and then he invited me next to produce the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra’s third album, “40 Acres and a Burro.” So, you know, we developed this relationship.

So, there was the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, which was Arturo’s band that he founded. And then there was the Chico O’Farrill Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra. Chico O’Farrill, like I said, was Arturo’s dad. He passed away in 2001 and was a legendary composer who, kind of in the later stages of his life in the early 90s, enjoyed this resurgence in his career and started Big Band again at Birdland, which is a famed jazz club in Manhattan. Essentially, Arturo was called upon by his dad to direct the band because his dad was elderly at that point. His dad passed away in 2001, and Arturo continued to run the band until 2011. They performed every Sunday night for 15 years at Birdland. And that residency ultimately concluded in June of 2011. And this was six months after the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance brought that orchestra, the Chico O’Farrill Orchestra, to Cuba.

before last that we won in that category.

TC: What was the process like to produce this album?

EO: Sure, sure. A producer can be many things. Often, in a studio setting, you are contracting with the musicians. You’re reserving studio space. You’re hiring the engineer. You’re raising the money. You’re ultimately recording and mixing and mastering and working with the label to release it.

That’s sort of what I do in the producing function. For this live album, this band had been a working band for fifteen years, so I wasn’t really contracting with guest artists. But I was contracting with the engineer. I worked with a great engineer named Bill Moss who we had done the previous album with, who also mixed and mastered the album, and then, yeah, worked with the label to release it.

And to kind of follow the publicity campaign after that. And also raising some funds for the album as well.

Special to the Chronicle / David Garten

Chico O’Farrill passed away without ever returning to Cuba. He left after the revolution and was never able to return home. So it was kind of his wish to bring his musicians, his orchestra, even though he wasn’t around.

We were able to bring his musicians down to headline the Havana Jazz Festival. Ultimately, after that–it was a really moving experience for all of us–Arturo decided that it was time to put his father’s band to rest and focus on his non-profit and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra’s work.

So we recorded the very final set by the orchestra at Birdland, June of 2011, because it was the last performance of this amazing orchestra and featured the music of Chico O’Farrill who, you know, was really cited as

being one of the major architects of modern Afro Cuban big band composition. To be able to record a live album with his musicians featuring his greatest works–it was an honor for me to be invited to be a part of that.

And to listen to the album, you can feel that it has this great, natural energy in the room. The musicians are playing their hearts out. The energy of the audience–you can hear it on the recording. And it was a lot of fun. Just a lot of fun to be a part of that.

We released it two years later on Zoho Music, a label out of New York, in August of 2013, and then it was nominated this past September for a Latin GRAMMY for Best Instrumental Jazz Album.

And, yeah! We found out this Thursday

TC: What was it like to win the Latin GRAMMY? Were you expecting it at all?

EO: It was…you know, you never…never can expect these things. This is a first for me.

I wasn’t able to attend because the awards were in Las Vegas, but I was able to watch a live stream online. When they announced our name, I was just kind of in shock.

Two Duke students win a free trip to Hollywood Dillon Fernando The Chronicle The arts at Duke have been growing: with programs and groups such as the Duke Entertainment and Media Arts Network (DEMAN) and the “Artstigators,” Duke is fully harnessing all that the field of media can offer.

Through both faculty and alumni resources, Duke has sought to better connect students to the arts world and even offer opportunities to showcase student work to successful individuals in arts and media industries.

The Duke in Hollywood Challenge was one such opportunity. In mid-October, Duke students competed to design and create either a video or a logo for DEMAN and convey what DEMAN is through the respective mediums. The submissions were judged on effective communication, technique and aesthetic appeal by several notable alumni and faculty, including

Transformers Producer Mark Vahradian, Hunger Games producer Bryan Unkeless, Vice Provost for the Arts Scott Lindroth, Director of Duke in LA Karen Price, as well as Sterly Wilder and Inga Peterson from Duke Alumni Affairs. The winners of this competition receive a free trip to Hollywood and a VIP tour of Universal Studios, getting the chance to mingle with media giants like Vahradian and Unkeless.

DEMAN was looking to re-design their image and to promote what exactly the network is and how it can benefit students. The judges were looking for something that captured the essence of DEMAN, while also being aesthetically pleasing.

Unkeless commented, “When judging the contest I was seeking work that felt singular, professionally executed and represented Duke’s spirit.”

At the annual DEMAN weekend, the panel announced Jamie Kessler and Alex Elliot as winners of the contest for their logo and video designs,

Jamie Kessler is a senior English major with a Visual Media Studies minor who, simply put, “loves the arts.”

Here at Duke, Kessler has participated in both Duke in LA and Duke in New York and has been heavily involved with DEMAN and many other arts programs.

Kessler has interned and worked for Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and United Talent Agency, and with these in-field experiences, she is motivated to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

Kessler designed her logo using Adobe Illustrator after running through possible themes that related to DEMAN. Her final logo, a speech bubble with DEMAN inscribed within, is representative of her perception of what DEMAN is all about.

“DEMAN, especiallym is about talking to others who are interested in similar fields, so that you can network and collaborate. It was my thought that a bubble could represent that well,” Kessler explained.

Alex Elliot, a junior Public Policy major, has dreamed of a career in the entertainment industry from an early age: when he was eight, Elliot began making films with a home camera. Elliot has explored his passion for media by participating in the Duke in LA program, during which he interned at Marc Platt Productions, a movie production company on the Universal Studios lot. This past summer, Elliot worked as a production assistant on the set of FOX’s Sleepy Hollow.

Elliot filmed his video using time-lapse photography: using a DSLR camera, he snapped a picture every “X” amount of seconds, spliced them together and sped the film up to play 24 frames, or pictures, per second.

“For the beginning of the video, I would take a picture, my beautiful actress would move an inch, and I would take another picture and repeat,” Elliot said.

Elliot’s inspiration for his video came from the growth of the arts at Duke. He often felt that Duke’s commitment to research and academia masks the presence of arts at the school.

“I tried to showcase the hubs of art across campus, from dance in the Ark off East Campus to the Center for Documentary Studies,” Elliot explained. “The arts initiatives on campus seem to be building bridges between these hubs and bringing these disciplines together.”

Bryan Unkeless echoed Elliot’s sentiment.

“I have been impressed by Duke’s progression toward supporting the arts. I love DEMAN’s goal to make sure students realize that pursuing a career in film, television, music or the arts is actually a viable option,” Unkeless said. “There is a vibrant Duke community working in these fields ready to offer perspective, support and guidance.”

The Duke in Hollywood Challenge is just one stepping stone to helping the winners pursue their dreams of a career in arts and media. Both Kessler and Elliot plan to use their trip to Hollywood as a chance to build connections and help establish themselves early within the industry.

“The trip to Hollywood is so useful to me as a senior.

It could potentially allow me to interview or meet new contacts that could help me find career opportunities,” Kessler said. “I have enjoyed my prior experiences tremendously and hope to get a permanent position at either an agency or television network.”

“Last semester, during the Duke in LA program, I gained experience working at a Hollywood film production company and learned a great deal about the industry itself,” Elliot said. “I would most like to work at an agency, a film production company or a studio.”

Kessler’s and Elliot’s prize-winning works will be displayed on social media starting today. Kessler’s and the other finalists’ logos can be found on the Artstigators’ Instagram and Twitter, account while Elliot’s and the other finalists’ videos will be on their YouTube channel.

FINDING A NEW WAY TO WIN

The Duke team that defeated No. 2 Wisconsin 80-70 Wednesday night was not the Blue Devil basketball team we have become accustomed to through the season’s first seven games.

In the first half, Amile Jefferson had zero rebounds. Tyus Jones had one assist. Justise Winslow failed to score and coughed up the ball three times. Quinn Cook and Jahlil Okafor were effective when they were on the court, but both picked up two quick fouls and didn’t play their regular heavy allotment of minutes.

The defense was practically unrecognizable for the Blue Devils. The switching was constant, which led to Jones covering the likes of Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker, while Marshall Plumlee gave his patented frenetic effort in his futile attempts to stop Wisconsin’s guards. Luckily for the visitors, the switching didn’t hurt Duke, as it wasn’t until 53 seconds remained in the game that Kaminsky finally got the ball to post up a Blue Devil point guard.

The offense as a whole also looked out of sorts. A team that has averaged more than 24 free throw attempts per game failed to get to the charity stripe even once in the first 20 minutes. Although Duke was getting easier looks than the Badgers, they certainly

weren’t taking easy shots. Time and again the Blue Devil guards would get into the paint only to take a tough, contested shot through Wisconsin’s massive front line.

Through all of these struggles Duke had a few players who were able to keep the team afloat. Tyus Jones will be dubbed the hero for his play—and every bit of the credit attributed to him is deserved after he scored a career-high 22 points on 7-of-11 shooting, tied

the team-high with six rebounds and led the team with four assists.

But the performances of Rasheed Sulaimon and Matt Jones cannot be understated. this is an imageThe need for ‘Sheed was apparent immediately after the 6-foot-5 guard stepped on the court, as he canned a 3-pointer coming off of a screen to respond to sophomore Bronson Koenig’s triple. In addition to his tenacious defense, Sulaimon

scored a season-high 14 points, grabbed three rebounds and doled out a pair of assists.

Fans know Sulaimon can be an electric scorer, but that simply hasn’t been his game this season. Once a flashy scorer, as a junior, Sulaimon has become content to be an orchestrator instead of a finisher, distributing and setting up his teammates instead of lighting up the scoreboard himself.

But Wednesday night Sulaimon turned back the clock, showing a renewed fire and desire on the offensive end. He attacked the rim on one possesion, then stepped back and burned the defense from beyond the arc on the next. In short, he was a nightmare for anyone trying to contest him.

Then there was Matt Jones. The Desoto, Texas, native has been surprisingly potent as a scorer this year after struggling to make an impact in that department as a freshman. But tonight he was vintage Matt Jones—the gritty defender never afraid to sacrifice his body for the good of the team. He didn’t make an impact from beyond the arc, though the team didn’t shoot as freely as it usually does, so it’s hard to blame his quiet offensive day.

Perhaps no play better encapsulate’s Jones’ impact Wednesday than the moment in the first half when he laid out for a loose ball, knocking it toward Winslow, who flung it ahead for a thunderous Plumlee dunk.

Carolyn Chang | Chronicle File Photo Making her first career start, freshman Azura Stevens tallied 16 points and nine rebounds, but it wasn’t enough for the Blue Devils against Nebraska.

In its second consecutive road game against a top-15 opponent, No. 9 Duke hoped to once again prove that they belong among the top teams in the country.

For the second game in a row, the Blue Devils were done in by offensive struggles down the stretch in a tight contest.

“You have to really hunker down in the last five minute of the game, ” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “The intelligence and immediacy and intelligence quotient is going up at the end of the game.”

Down 22-9 with 9:37 left in the first half against No. 12 Nebraska, it appeared as though Duke (5-2) was in danger of being blown off the floor. Without senior ElizSee Youth on Page 10

W. BASKETBALL continued from page 9

Duke (5-2) claimed the advantage in most statistical categories, including a commanding 47-34 edge on the glass, but couldn’t make the big stop when it needed one.

“You look down at the categories [on the stat sheet], to win all five down at the bottom right— points in the paint, points off turnovers, fast break—we were five for five, we won all of them,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “Usually when that is the case, you might take the game.”

In the first half, the veteran Cornhuskers (7-0) looked to get out in transition against a Blue Devil team starting three freshmen for the second time in program history. During the first six minutes, Nebraska shot 6-of-7 from the field and took an early 13-8 lead by pushing the pace, giving the Blue Devil defense little time to set up. Duke struggled to score in a slower half-court offense, but used offensive rebounds to stay in the game.

Duke (5-2) surrendered a 15-point lead in the second half against No. 6 Texas A&M Sunday, but Wednesday night it was the Blue Devils who fell behind early.

After a TV timeout, the Cornhuskers blasted the Blue Devils with a 9-1 run to take a commanding 22-9 lead. To cap off the run, Nebraska guard Rachel Theriot hit a transition three to send the Cornhusker crowd into a frenzy and forced McCallie to call a timeout.

Theriot finished with a game-high 17 points, one of three Nebraska players to reach double-figures.

When play resumed, the Blue Devils inched their way back into the game, scoring their next four points from the charity stripe across seven minutes of game time. Duke went more than eight minutes without a field goal, a lengthy drought that finally ended at the 7:18 mark when junior Mercedes Riggs pump-faked and then drained a wide open triple to cut the Nebraska lead to 24-16. By the time the Blue Devils headed to the locker room, they had trimmed the deficit to 28-27 behind a late 15-4 run.

“We fought back well,” Stevens said. “We could’ve played better defensively, but for what we had, not having Elizabeth, I thought we fought back and gave Nebraska a run for their money.”

Neither team shot the ball well in the first half. Duke made its living at the free-throw line, where the Blue Devils were 10-of-12 compared to only four Cornhusker attempts. Both teams shot especially poorly from downtown, posting identical 14.3 percent shooting clips.

Nebraska’s senior frontcourt paved the way in the first half behind eight-point efforts from Hailie Sample and Emily Cady. Often, the Cornhuskers rotated the ball through the duo to open shooters on the perimeter, but when the deep treys failed to fall, the pair took it upon themselves to do the burden of the scoring.

Sample and Cady finished with 29 points between them on 10-of-14 shooting.

Playing without Williams—a three-time All-American who averages 14.0 points and 9.8 rebounds per game—the young Blue Devils are still learning how to handle the nation’s best competition. The ability to fight back into the game after digging a big hole was encouraging, but execution down the stretch is still a work in progress.

“It’s December. From our standpoint—we started three freshmen,” McCallie said. “It’s going to take a long time for us to put all the pieces together, and getting Elizabeth back.

It’s going to be really exciting.”

In the second half, both offenses began to establish more of a rhythm. Cady was aggressive once again, twirling to the basket to open up the scoring. When another Cornhusker

bucket made the score 32-27, Greenwell responded with a triple from the top of the key.

After Sample retaliated with a quick two, Stevens briefly took over the game. The Raleigh, N.C., native scored eight quick points in one impressive spurt and was also active clogging the passing lanes. After flying from the post to rip the ball from the Cornhuskers, Stevens started a fast break that led to a transition layup by Greenwell gave Duke its first lead of the night 36-34.

“I’m really proud of Azura as a freshman.

She’s playing both the four and the three as a freshman—that’s almost unheard of, playing inside and out,” McCallie said. “She’s going to have a heck of a time when Elizabeth gets back.”

The teams went back and forth for the remainder of the half. Even without Williams, who also missed Sunday’s game at Texas A&M, the Blue Devils commanded a significant size advantage down low, and racked up 18 offensive boards, including five from Stevens. Duke shot just 31.7 percent from the floor, but 21 second-chance points kept the Blue Devils right with the Cornhuskers.

With Nebraska leading 55-52, Cady corralled a crucial offensive rebound with 49.1 seconds remaining and nailed a jumper to put Duke in a five-point deficit. Forced to extend the game by fouling, the Blue Devils ran out of time as the Cornhuskers converted from the line to seal the win.

Duke’s difficult December stretch continues Sunday at 1 p.m. when the Blue Devils welcome top-ranked South Carolina to Cameron Indoor Stadium. McCallie’s young squad will have to execute for a full 40 minutes if it hopes to pull the upset and avoid a third consecutive loss.

continued from page 9 abeth Williams—who missed her second straight game with an ankle injury—and with leading scorer Rebecca Greenwell not finding many open looks, the Blue Devils faced an uphill climb with a young roster in a hostile road environment.

But Duke would respond on the backs of a strong defensive effort, holding Nebraska (7-0) without a field goal for the final 5:21 of the first half and cutting the Cornhusker lead to 28-27 going into halftime.

“I think we fought back well,” said freshman Azura Stevens, who made her first career start and led Duke with 16 points in the loss.

“We could’ve been better defensively, but for what we had and without Elizabeth, I thought we fought back.”

A back-and-forth struggle persisted throughout the second half and with 3:19 remaining in the game, the Blue Devils could not have asked to be in a better position—down just two points despite a poor shooting night.

But in those critical minutes, Duke went into a shell on offense—the Blue Devils scored just four points the rest of the way— and was done in by one of its biggest strengths: rebounding.

“We just did not get the stops we needed at the time we needed them and [the Cornhuskers] did a great job of finding their best players down the stretch,” McCallie said.

On a night when Duke built up a 4734 rebounding advantage—including 18

offensive rebounds—it was a Nebraska offensive rebound and put-back by senior forward Emily Cady with 52 seconds remaining that sealed the deal.

On the offensive end, the Blue Devils misfired on eight of their 10 crunch-time possessions—indicative of most of the night for Duke, who shot less than 32 percent as a team.

With two games against top-notch competition under their belt, the Blue Devils have certainly shown that they are capable of hanging tight with any team in the country. Yet the biggest question remains as to how Duke can manufacture enough quality possessions down the stretch to win hard-fought slugfests such as Wednesday’s, particularly without Williams.

“I have no idea who picked them sixth in the Big Ten. I would like to know how that happened,” McCallie said. “If I were them, they should be beside themselves because they are a really good team…. This is by far the best Nebraska team I’ve ever seen.”

A good deal of the struggle in the consecutive losses has stemmed from the absence of All-American center Elizabeth Williams. The senior has been rock solid for Duke throughout her four years on campus—both as a leader and as a superstar performer. Without Williams in the last two contests, the Blue Devils have lacked the dominant post threat necessary to free up Greenwell and others for open perimeter looks.

Instead, Duke has tried to run its offense through other options such as Stevens, who has responded well and averaged 15.5 points in her last two outings. The Raleigh, NC native will continue to improve with more experience, but could get even more opportunities once Williams is back healthy and attracting attention from defenses.

“We could’ve really used a double-double performer with a million blocks,” said McCallie.

“It’s no excuse at all, but the reality is that that’s an All-American center missing…. It’s been unfortunate, our schedule and her injury.”

With an encounter with top-ranked South Carolina looming Sunday, Duke has yet another chance to improve its late-game execution and come out with a much-needed victory.

GUARDS

continued from page 9 The highlight reels will show Plumlee’s big finish, but without Jones, that play never happens. The effort showed the sort of aggressiveness Jones played with all night, and that is the reason he consistently finds himself on the court with the game on the line.

The Duke team that came out of the locker room for the second half more closely resembled the team we are used to watching. Okafor scored nine points in the period, Winslow made some timely plays and managed to get on the scoreboard and as a team the Blue Devils finally got to the free throw line.

At the end of the day, there are plenty of positives to take from Duke’s win Wednesday night. Shooting 65.2 percent from the field is impressive against any team, let alone the notoriously difficult Badgers. The defense kept Kaminsky in check for most of the evening, and rendered Dekker a virtual non-entity. But nothing is more impressive than the fact that the Blue Devils were able to go into a hostile environment against the No. 2 team in the nation, go away from the regular blueprint, and still win relatively handily.

That’s the big takeaway from the biggest game of the college basketball season to date.

And that’s the reason why this Duke team has a chance to be special.

The first case appeared Oct. 15, when a baby who had recently traveled to West Africa was admitted to Duke Regional Hospital after displaying symptoms of fever. The second case involved an individual returning to the United States

GPSC

continued from page 2 This is not the first time that GPSC has discussed amending the Young Trustee process. Shellhorn said informal talks of the addition began four or five years ago but were not well received by administration. The passed resolution marks the first official push for a change to the process.

Currently, the Board has 36 members, including the five total Young Trustees.

The resolution proposes two possible ways in which this number could be altered to increase graduate representation—either by expanding to 37 total members or by removing one non-Young Trustee representative.

With three years to serve the Duke community, Young Trustees would have more time to forge bonds with the Trustees and with the world around Duke, allowing them to represent Duke University more effectively,” said Shannon O’Connor, fifth year MD/Ph.D. student in biomedical engineering, in a press release following the Nov. 18 GPSC meeting.

O’Conner was elected graduate Young Trustee in Februrary and is currently serving as an observing member. The current voting graduate Young Trustee is Katherine Duch who graduated with a Ph.D. in public policy in 2013.

Unlike the undergraduate Young Trustees—who are elected by a studentwide vote—graduate representatives are selected through a vote by GPSC. The next meeting of the Board of Trustees will take place Dec. 5 and 6.

“One of the primary goals that GPSC is expressing is the desire here to be heard,” Shellhorn said in the press release following the GPSC meeting. “This compromise achieves that end on both the committee level as well as the full board.”
