DPD search additional property in ADPhi sexual assault investigation

ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 108

HOLI MOLI

Emma Baccellieri News Editor The sexual assault investigation against Duke’s chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity has expanded—with the Durham Police Department seizing property from an additional residence. A set of new search warrants issued earlier this month allowed DPD to search the house next door to the site of the original investigation on West Chapel Hill Street. The second-degree rape case stems from a female freshman’s allegation that she was sexually assaulted by an ADPhi member following a fraternity party held the night of Jan. 8. The fraternity remains suspended by the University as the investigation continues. Immediately after the allegations were made in January, police officers searched Alpha Delta Phi the house that hosted the party. Earlier this month, following a March 23 interview with the female freshman, the police searched a second house on West Chapel Hill Street—which is also part of a group of houses referred to by students as “The Compound.” The alleged victim told police that she recalled several scenes that she could not place in the timeline of the evening on Jan. 8—walking up a grassy hill with a senior fraternity member, entering a house “next to the party house” and being in a bedroom with black bedding and a poster of the rapper Drake. As a result of their conversation with the alleged victim, police requested warrants for the second house—which they

Students use extra food points to give back “This is better in my eyes than going to the WaDuke and treating 10 friends. It’s our way of giving back to Durham” Claire Ballentine The Chronicle

Anthony Alvernaz | The Chronicle Though some students use excess food points to treat friends to meals at the Washington Duke Inn, others donate to charity.

A meal at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club is always a treat, but students with extra food points at the end of the Spring semester have the opportunity to use these points for charitable purposes. Because food points—which are equivalent to one dollar—do not roll over from the Spring semester to the following Fall, many students strive to use their extra points to avoid them going to waste. Although some students use these points to treat friends to meals at pricier venues such as the Washington Duke or the Nasher Café, others purchase food from on-campus stores to support canned food drives, which are organized by student groups. “We had the idea to partner with Duke stores to allow students to do something good with their food points,”

said junior Stephanie Engle, the chief executive officer of Campus Enterprises. Last year, Campus Enterprises—a student-run company with the goal of bettering students’ college experiences—conducted a food drive for the benefit of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. They placed bins in stores on East, Central and West Campuses and received more than 1,000 cans bought by students, Engle said. The Food Bank of CENC told Engle that Campus Enterprises’ donation was one of the largest they had ever received. “When our group made the delivery, which required three cars, the workers all applauded,” Engle said. She added that Campus Enterprises’ efforts helped university stores clear their inventory in a productive way. This year, the group plans to begin their food drive during finals week when most students will need to use the rest of their food points. Rick Johnson, assistant vice president of student affairs for housing, dining and residential life, said that unused food points go to support Duke Dining and help

‘I had fun:’ Public Harry Potter FOOD POINTS readings come to an end continued from page 1

Georgia Parke Executive Digital Editor Most readers of the Harry Potter series faced the ending of the series when the last book was released in July 2007. But for one Duke student and many of his fans, the ending came for a second time Sunday. Senior Robbie Florian finished his daily readings of each of the seven Harry Potter novels yesterday afternoon, a practice that stretches back to Nov. 3, 2014. Each day during the school year since then, Florian has sat on a stool in front of the James B. Duke statue on the Chapel Quadrangle at 4 p.m. and read aloud from the books for an hour to anyone who stopped by to listen. “I’m just very overwhelmed, it’s crazy,” Florian said shortly after he closed the seventh book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” for good. “I got very emotional at the end there.” Several students of various years, as well as potential freshmen visiting during the Blue Devil Days program, were on hand to witness the reading of the

sist food banks. “I think most people have enough to donate to charity and still take their friends to meals,” said senior Chris Murphy. Engle said she feels donating to food banks is much more rewarding than splurging on fancy meals. “This is better in my eyes than going to the WaDuke and treating 10 friends,” she said. “It’s our way of giving back to Durham.”

fund improvements for students such as the renovations responsible for Red Mango and the Bryan Center location of The Loop Pizza Grill in 2013. Students can also donate food points through food drives hosted by Campus Crusade for Christ, an interdenominational Christian ministry at Duke. These food drives benefit Urban Ministries of Durham, which works to meet the emergency needs of the poor and hungry. Senior Bailey Sincox, a student intern for Cru, said that last year she bought over $100 worth of canned food for the cause. She noted that it’s easy for Duke students to complain about extra food points and be complacent with their privilege while forgetting those who live on the street. “I enjoy the privileges [at Duke] but also feel convicted to share the excess with those who feel a lack,” she said. Currently, the only way for students to donate their food points is by purchasing food from Duke stores and giving these items to food banks. Engle said that Duke Dining could enhance these charitable efforts by allowing grocery delivery services to be a vendor on food points. Several students said they supported the efforts to use extra food points to as-

YOU WENT BACK WITH A KID I KNOW... YOU’RE SCREWED!!” The female freshman also recalled interacting with this senior fraternity member earlier in the evening, including when she refused to accompany him to his bedroom. The search warrant for the second house requests that police be allowed to search the house for black bedding, wall posters, any clothing belonging to the freshman—includ-

ing a black tank top and bra and dark-colored underwear—trash, any correspondence that could relate to date rape drugs, any contraband or otherwise illegal items and any “moving and still image or picture files relating to [Victim] or sexually provocative pictures of other women,” among other things. Police took a comforter, sheets, a tank top, two posters, a condom wrapper and a used condom when they searched the house in April. While searching the property, police noted a security camera on the front porch of the house. A laptop, an Apple “time capsule” storage device and “digital data” thought to possibly hold footage from the security camera were taken by police to be searched. The police file has been locked by DPD as

the investigation continues. The investigation has been ongoing for nearly three months. The morning after the party, the female student awoke in her dorm room, wearing an unfamiliar t-shirt and without her bra or underwear. She had no memory of most of the evening and went to Duke University Medical Center for a rape kit because she suspected she may have been the victim of nonconsensual sex. At the hospital, an individual called 911 on behalf of the freshman because it appeared she had been sexually assaulted. The police investigation has revealed that GPS data from the student’s phone placed her in the vicinity of an apartment complex on South LaSalle Street for a period of time

after she left the party—near the apartment of a second senior member of the fraternity, who some witnesses said left the party with the freshman. The police affidavit suggests that this senior is the subject of the text message saying “YOU WENT BACK WITH A KID I KNOW,” sent by the first senior fraternity member. The GPS tracking records on the female freshman’s phone indicate that she arrived in the vicinity of her dorm around 4:15 a.m.—where she later woke up. The fraternity remains suspended by the University, confirms Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. The investigation is being handled entirely by DPD, rather than Duke, he said.

Looking back on several dozen readings, Florian said one of his favorite memories was a certain part from the first book, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” “Probably one of my favorite moments was the Mirror of Erised scene,” Florian said. “I love that scene very much and it’s very simple, but it sets up a very complicated story....It’s been very nice having certain moments of the story with specific people.” In an interview with The Chronicle in November, Florian said there was no particular reason why he would go about reading the entire series from start to finish. “It strikes me as funny anybody would need a ‘why’ to read one of the most famous stories ever out loud— anywhere,” Florian said at the time. On Sunday Florian took a bow for the last time to the applause of the students watching. “It’s been wonderful,” he said. “I had fun.”

BLUE DEVILS CRUISE PAST CAVS

Seth Johnson Beat Writer After dropping three straight games for the first time since 2004, Duke seemed to be slipping into unfamiliar territory as the postseason loomed on 8 the horizon. But with UVA DUKE 15 an ACC tournament bid on the line, the Blue Devils hit their stride to ensure that they are bound for postseason conference play. For the first time in an ACC matchup this season, No. 7 Duke captured the victory by nearly doubling up No. 6 Virginia 15-8 with strong performance at Koskinen Stadium Sunday. The Blue Devils now move to 14-1 against the Cavaliers since 2007 and secure a spot in the four-team ACC tournament, which is slated to start April 24. “Virginia is a team that we have so much respect for,” Duke head coach John Danowski said after his 355th career victory. “We want to be considered [the blue bloods of our sport] one day. It’s going to take us years to be considered that, to catch up with those guys, but when you play these teams, that’s part of it.”

Nicole Savage | The Chronicle Sophomore Jack Bruckner did what no Blue Devil had done since 2011 against Virginia Sunday when he netted seven goals to lead Duke to its first ACC win of the season.

Duke (8-4, 1-3 in the ACC) could not pull together a full 60-minute game against ACC foes this season, but an all-around effort by the squad changed that this week. Six Blue Devils found the back of the net during the contest,

and the team outhustled Virginia (8-4, 0-4) by picking up 41-of-64 ground balls. Sophomore attackman Jack Bruckner provided the spark Duke so desperately needed to capture the win against the Cavaliers

and have a shot at the ACC title. After scoring a hat trick in the first quarter, Bruckner went on to score a career-high seven goals on 13 shots. The seven goals were the most by a Blue Devil since Zach Howell scored seven against Siena Feb. 12, 2011. “It’s a pretty unbelievable experience for myself,” Bruckner said. “Today shots were just coming to me, but any day it could be anyone else.” After experiencing a slump over the last couple of weeks, junior midfielder Myles Jones got back to his scoring ways for the home squad. With five points off of two goals and three assists, the Huntington, N.Y., native extended his points streak to 29 games, dating back to Feb. 23, 2014. At 4.67 points per game, Jones remains the top-scoring full-time midfielder in the nation. “It’s the nature of sports,” Jones said. “You’re going to have one or two bad games. It becomes inevitable. Today I was just really fired up and ready to have fun and this week of practice has been really fun. I was confident.” The scoring barrage by Bruckner and Jones started on the defensive end of the field for Duke. After allowing at least 13 goals in their See M. Lacrosse on Page 8

Duke sends seniors out on top against Seminoles The Blue Devils made sure Senior Day was one to remember for their four elders Jake Herb Staff Writer Sunday’s match at Ambler Stadium began with a Senior Day ceremony. Shielding their eyes from the noonday sun, four Duke athletes stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the center of court one looking up into the stands. Each wore a beaming smile 0 that grew bigger as FSU DUKE 7 fans rose to their feet to thank the seniors with a standing ovation. Three-and-a-half hours later, the same four athletes found themselves together again— this time smiling for the camera in celebration of four senior victories and an undefeated season at home. The No. 6 Blue Devils capped off an undefeated home season with a 7-0 sweep of Florida State Sunday, propelled by senior co-captain Jason Tahir’s eye-catching performance on Senior Day. After clinching the hotly contested doubles point with an ace, No. 42 Tahir gutted out a two-set singles win against the Seminoles’ only ranked singles player in No. 91 Michael Rinaldi to

clinch the team victory. Senior Raphael Hemmeler, redshirt senior Chris Mengel and junior Bruno Semenzato— who arrived at Duke with only three years of eligibility—each posted victories in their final appearances at Ambler Stadium, spurring head coach Ramsey Smith to gather his seniors for a post-match photograph. “You could sense that it was a special day especially for the seniors,” Smith said. “You could just sense that [the seniors] have put so much into the program, and we got all four of their bests today, which was great.” Mengel paced the Blue Devils (20-4, 7-3 in the ACC) in singles from court five, cruising past Florida State redshirt freshman Jose Gracia in two sets. The Pittsburgh native fell behind 2-0 in the first set, but fought back to force a 5-5 tie before winning the next two points to take the set 7-5. Mengel then rode the momentum of a strong finish in the first set to down Gracia 6-2 in the second set and capture the 28th ACC singles win of his career. On court three, Hemmeler needed a thirdset tiebreaker to overcome Seminole junior Marco Nunez. After dropping the first set 7-5, Hemmeler—ranked 58th in the nation in the ITA poll—broke away from Nunez in the second, winning four consecutive games to even the match, 6-2. In the tiebreaker set, the Zurich native became locked in a neck-andneck battle with his Florida State opponent—

with the score tied 2-2 after four games. But once again Hemmeler made a push down the stretch, working up a 5-3 lead before shutting out Nunez in the match point. Semenzato—Duke’s most unconventional “senior”—also needed a tiebreaker to decide his match. A Sao Paulo, Brazil, native, Semenzato joined the Blue Devils after competing in international tournaments as both an amateur and a professional, resulting the NCAA granting him only three years of eligibility. Despite spending one fewer year with the team than the seniors, Semenzato has played an equally key role in developing Duke into a perennial top-10 program and guiding the Blue Devils to their highest ranking since 2000 with a No. 2 mark earlier this season. On Sunday, Semenzato stormed out of the gate to take the first set 7-5, but lost a hard-fought second set to Seminole senior Cristian Gonzalez Mendez 6-7 after fighting back from a 4-1 deficit. With the outcome of the team match already decided, Semenzato and Mendez played a first-to-10 tiebreaker to decide a winner. In a repeat of the first set, Semenzato used a hot start to put away his opponent early, reaching a commanding 5-0 lead before ultimately putting away Mendez 10-1. “[Semenzato and Hemmeler] are both See M.

Duke opens Morris Williams Stadium in style Ryan Hoerger Staff Writer Competing in their first-ever home meet in their new home, the Blue Devils wasted no time settling in. Duke set five school records and took home the women’s title this weekend at the Duke Invitational, an auspicious beginning for Morris Williams Stadium. The new facility has been open since January, but was officially dedicated to its namesake in a ceremony Saturday morning before the second day of competition got underway. The stadium—which includes bleacher seating for 500 people and is serviced by the dual-purpose Kennedy Tower—was made possible by a $5 million donation from Morris Williams and his wife, Ruth. “Morris and Ruth have been phenomenal benefactors to our university,” Duke University Vice President and Director of Athletics Kevin White said during Saturday’s dedication ceremony. “This is a magical moment for athletics at Duke.

Blue Devils bounce back strong against Tigers Sam Turken Staff Writer After suffering back-to-back defeats to Georgia Tech and Miami, snapping an eight-match winning streak, Duke rebounded with consecutive victories. The Blue Devils followed up a 4-0 rout of Florida State April 4 with a 4-3 win against No. 20 Clemson Friday afternoon at Ambler Tennis Stadium. The victory against CLEMSON 3 the Tigers was DUKE 4 crucial for Duke’s confidence and conference positioning as the squad finishes conference play and prepares for the ACC tournament. “As far as ACC standings go, this was a huge match for us,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “Coming off a good energy match with Florida State I thought [the girls] following it up with this was big. Clemson’s been in some really tough matches. [They] had a chance to beat Florida, they had a chance to beat UNC. So they came in [without] fear of playing here.” Clemson came out strong as doubles play began, and Ashworth’s modifications to the Blue Devils’ doubles lineup at first appeared to affect his squad’s chemistry. The Tigers (13-8, 8-4 in the ACC) recorded the first doubles win when the No. 3 tandem of Beatrice Gumulya and Jessy Rompies edged out Duke’s top duo of senior Ester Goldfeld and sophomore Alyssa Smith 8-6. Goldfeld and Smith, who originally held a 6-4 advantage, could not capitalize on

several opportunities to close out the match. “I missed a backhand on a really, really big point,” Goldfeld said. “Alyssa was trying to be as positive as she could and encouraging, but I just dwelled on [that point] for way too long.”

Senior Annie Mulholland and sophomore Chalena Scholl at the No. 3 doubles position quickly evened the match with an 8-7 (7-5) win against Joana Eidukonyte and Daniela Ruiz. Duke (14-7, 9-2) then clinched the doubles point when the 53rd-ranked tandem of

Beatrice Capra and Samantha Harris defeated Romy Koelzer and Yuilynn Miao 8-6. “This was the first time we’ve played these teams,” Ashworth said. “Its really a health thing to be honest with you. Having Chalena [Scholl] healthy gives us more options with our doubles. She and Annie did a really good job for us last year. We’ve been waiting as long as we could to enable Chalena to be able to play both singles and doubles. These double teams give us a little more flexibility, more comfort. People have played together before.” The highly competitive doubles matches set the tone for singles. Clemson collected its first point with No. 64 Gumulya’s 6-2, 6-1 defeat of Harris at the No. 3 spot. No. 73 Harris could never find a rhythm as she continuously committed unforced errors on her groundstrokes. On court one, Capra fell to No. 33 Koelzer 6-3, 6-2, struggling to hold serve each time she broke Koelzer. But once again, Duke quickly answered the Tigers’ call. Scholl, who has missed most of the season due to injury, began her match on court five firing on all cylinders. The Pompano Beach, Fla., native relied on her heavy top-spin to put away Ruiz, 6-1, 6-4. The Blue Devils then picked up their third point when senior Rachel Kahan drubbed Rompies 6-2, 6-3 at fourth singles. At the No. 2 spot, Goldfeld initially See W. Tennis on Page 8

continued from page 7 but in terms of his philanthropic generosity, few people have embraced the university as he has,” Duke University President Richard Brodhead said. The start of construction on the new track complex was one of the first dominoes to fall in the series of campus-wide athletic facilities upgrades. After ground broke on Morris Williams Stadium, construction crews could move forward and begin tearing out the old track circling the football field—a process that began immediately after the Blue Devils’ regular season finale—to kickstart the twoyear, $100 million renovation to Wallace Wade Stadium. Brodhead noted in his remarks Saturday that Duke’s track and field facilities were in sore need of an upgrade, hypothesizing that the last significant upgrades to the old track took place “in the early years of Wallace Wade himself.” For Williams, creating a unifying space for the track and field team was an important part of the stadium. “I had a feeling that it was time that track had its own dedicated stadium. I felt that having events being scattered—whether they were by the president’s house or by East Campus or in Wallace Wade—it was time,” Williams said. “I’m so proud to be associated with the Duke University track and field team of today and the teams of tomorrow.” Before this weekend’s Duke Invitational, the Blue Devils’ home meets were spread out across campus, with track events taking place in Wallace Wade and throwing events taking place out near the president’s

Duke track and field athletes from the Class of 1948 to the freshman Class of 2018 were on hand for the dedication ceremony to show their appreciation for the new venue and its namesake. “We have 70 years of Duke track and field family here today to honor our history and look forward to a promising new future here today at our beautiful new home,” Duke director of track and field Norm Ogilvie said. After taking in the ceremony in the morning, the Blue Devils spent the afternoon putting on a show of their own. Duke claimed a 50-point margin of victory on the women’s side and finished third on the men’s side with 122 points. The school record in the women’s long

jump was felled twice in one afternoon, as redshirt junior Teddi Maslowski broke the mark with a leap of 20 feet, 2 1/4 inches, only to best that leap by two inches just three jumps later. The Burgettstown, Pa., native claimed the win in that event before taking to the 100-meter hurdles, where she finished second. The women’s 4-x-100 meter relay turned in another record-breaking performance, as senior Lauren Hansson, freshman Maddy Price, sophomore Madeline Kopp and senior Elizabeth Kerpon took the baton around the track in a time of 44.92 seconds, finishing second. Kopp was not done rewriting the record books Saturday, sprinting across the line with a win in the 100 meters in a time of 53.04 seconds, slicing 0.69 seconds off her own school record.

The Chronicle Junior Megan Clark continued to rise above the competition—and the bar—in the pole vault, clearing 14 feet, 9 inches on her first attempt to break the program outdoor record. The NCAA Indoor Championship silver medalist won the event, recording the second-highest jump of the 2015 outdoor season in the nation in the process. The Duke throwers enjoyed similar success, competing on the infield of the track for the first time at a home meet. Redshirt junior Stephen Boals won the shot put with a 57-foot heave after taking second place in the discus, and redshirt senior Thomas Lang claimed victory in the javelin with a career-best throw of 229 feet, 6 inches—the second farthest toss in program history. The strong showing followed up Friday’s first record-breaking performance, as junior Michael Foley won the hammer throw with his mark of 190 feet. Madison Granger and Nate McClafferty led Duke to first-place finishes in both mile races, with McClafferty using a late push to cross the line first in 4:07.36. Twins Haley and Hannah Meier were close behind Granger in the women’s race, finishing second and fourth, respectively. Redshirt sophomore DeVon Edwards—a standout return man for David Cutcliffe’s football team—made his spring debut with a fourth-place finish in the 100-meter dash. With all events at last located at one venue and a large scoreboard overhead, the Blue Devils look primed for years of success at their new home. “They tell me that this track is better than the track that was in Wallace Wade,” Williams said. “I certainly hope it is.” So far, so good.

But the Brooklyn, N.Y., native—ranked 41st in the country—quickly found her footing and fought back to take a 3-2 lead. Goldfeld never looked back as she took the match 6-4, 6-2, clinching the win for Duke and satisfying her own expectations for the match. “A few weeks ago I started to struggle,” Goldfeld said. “[Against] Miami and Florida State I didn’t play exactly the way I wanted to play. But we

got a good week of practice in. Today was definitely a lot better in terms of me being aggressive and staying in points. Just kind of knowing when to go for my shots.” Duke’s third loss came after the match was already decided.

In just his third collegiate start, the Wantagh, N.Y., native captured his first win by tallying a career-high 18 saves against the Cavaliers’ 36shot flurry. “It is awesome to get my first win as a starter,” Fowler said. “It was a great confidence boost for our entire defense because we finally put it together. We held somebody to eight goals. We have been giving up more than that these last few weeks, but it’s definitely a big confidence boost for us.” Fortunately for Duke, Virginia did not do itself any favors with its sloppy offensive play. While the Blue Devils were firing on all cylinders in the second and third quarters— scoring eight goals in that stretch—the Cavaliers turned the ball over 14 times in two quarters and left opportunities on the field. After scoring its second goal in the first quarter, the team went on a 15-minute scoring drought that allowed Duke to put too much distance between the two teams. According to Jones, the pressure put on the defensive end may have been a byproduct of senior leadership and motivation heading into the contest. “Our seniors have never lost to Virginia and they wanted to keep that perfect streak,” he said. “They reiterated all week that we just

don’t lose to Virginia. That’s not how we do it around here. We all played for each other and the seniors walked away happy with a perfect streak.” Since the ACC tournament does not begin for nearly two weeks, the Blue Devils will have to remain focused moving ahead. With the chance to begin a new winning streak on the road, Duke will have to deal with a quick turnaround, as it finishes off a three-game stretch in seven days against Stony Brook and Marquette. There is little time for the team to savor the victory to end the ACC schedule, and now it must move on to avoid falling prey to two opponents ranked in the top-20.

continued from page 6 very good fighters,” Tahir said. “Everyone in the facility can hear [Semenzato] grunting. He’s fighting hard. [Hemmeler] has been one of the best players in program history, so it’s very cool for them to go out winning on Senior Day.” The man of the match though, was Tahir, whose ace to close out doubles play and gritty win in singles made this Senior Day just a little bit more memorable. After the duo of Semenato and sophomore T.J. Pura throttled their Florida State opponents on court three 8-2, the tandem of Tahir and junior Josh Levine

went back and forth with Seminole doubles partners Rinaldi and Mendez. With the score tied at 6-6 Duke broke ahead to make it 7-6. Tahir put the match away with a bullet serve that sizzled past his opponents who watched the ball fly by them—stunned. In singles, Tahir withstood a comeback attempt by Rinaldi to capture the first set 6-4 the second set 6-3, to lock up the victory against the Seminoles (18-7, 6-4). With the win, Tahir improves to 22-16 overall and 5-5 in league matches and now holds a 102-39 career mark in singles matches. “[Tahir] really stepped up and served a great last game to come away with that ace [in doubles],” Smith said. “Clinching both doubles and singles really made today extra special for him. I’m happy for him and all the seniors.” No. 11 Nicolas Alvarez powered Duke on court one. The freshman faced off against Florida State redshirt junior Benjamin Lock, winning an intense 7-5 battle in the first set before cruising to a 6-3 win the second to hand Duke its third singles point of the day. Pura defeated Terrell Whitehurst in two sets, recovering from an early 2-0 deficit in the first to close out the Blue Devils’ scoring. Duke has only one more week of the regular season remaining before the ACC tournament begins April 23 in Cary, N.C. The Blue Devils will have two more chances—against Louisville and Georgia Tech—to fine tune their skills before the post season. “We’re all looking to get that one percent better,” Tahir said. “For myself personally…I am excited to keep improving and find my edge. I think the same is true of the team. Hopefully we can put it together heading into the ACC tournament.”

Vote for an effective DSG

his year, the Editorial Board was disappointed by the lack of competition for Duke Student Government vice presidential positions. Given the potential for collaboration between administration and students, we hope all candidates will work next year to change DSG’s internal environment and campus perception. For vice president of the academic affairs committee, we find two highly promising candidates but ultimately endorse Tara Bansal for her institutional knowledge and connections within the administration. We moderate this endorsement by recommending that she intently focus on following specific ideas to completion after carefully triaging her long list of possibilities. Although Annie Adair does not have the same institutional knowledge, we appreciate her greater understanding of how students experience academics at Duke. Her philosophy toward academic affairs was refreshing compared to past DSG rhetoric. For vice president of the services committee, the Editorial Board strongly endorses JP Lucaci. Lucaci balances a thorough understanding of, and dedication to, improving student use of services with an attention to feasibility. He proposes using policy as a means to make tangible differences in student experiences, through, for example, interview clothing storage and online Counseling and Psychological

Services registrations. We hope he takes advantage of the overlap of services with other committees to implement his ideas while clarifying the differences between the functions of the committees. Next, Ilana Weisman is strongly suited to be the vice president for equity and outreach. Weisman has demonstrated fluent knowledge about issues on campus related to equity including, but not limited to, race, gender, sexuality and mental health issues. In terms of outreach, she has highlighted typically unsung breaks between domestic and international students and made promising suggestions to address the issue. Weisman has also shown a willingness to critique the effectiveness of the committee’s past projects. We believe DSG should welcome such introspection. For vice president of the Durham and regional affairs committee, we endorse Tanner Lockhead. Lockhead brings with him excellent ideas for personally connecting with Durham residents through Knock and Talks, and his experiences growing up in Durham allow for him to identify meaningful inroads to connect with the city. The Board has expectations that Lockhead will use these experiences to push students to engage with Durham socially, politically and culturally. For vice president of the facilities and the environ-

ment committee, we cautiously endorse Michael Norwalk. Although Norwalk demonstrates a thorough knowledge of ongoing University projects and has excellent intentions to increase communication so as to continuously update students, there are unanswered questions as to how he would alleviate the everyday burdens of such projects on student life. For vice president of the residential life committee, we endorse George Mellgard. Mellgard expresses interest in improving the independent housing experience, but his ideas are not especially novel. We hope he uses his elevated position to muster his committee’s brain power and creatively tackle issues with independent housing. Finally, we endorse Bryan Dinner for vice president for social culture. Dinner’s main goal is to connect various social groups on campus. He was supportive of connecting students to professors through informal engagements and has a strong grasp of what is, and is not, possible to work with the administration on, particularly with regard to alcohol policy. Nonetheless, given its overlap with other committees, we have doubts about the social culture committee. We hope Dinner will find novel issue spaces for the social culture committee to do work in, and we urge DSG, more broadly, to clearly define committee jurisdictions in the name of efficiency and relevancy.

y fellow readers, I want to begin column by apologizing for wretched absence of mine these past two weeks. For reasons I cannot disclose I have spent last two weeks under witness protection in dark depths of Oregon Street. It is my sincere hope that you were able to resort to other sources of opinion during this time. I return to you today writing not about race, but about color–the only color that matters: not white, not black, but blue: Duke Blue! Why? Because we have won the championship basketball game! As me and my fellow classmates love to say, Duke Duke mother****ing ***** a** **** go **** ******** and ***!!!

Since Laettner, all I hear is talk about who will be Laettner’s successor. Who has enough whiteness and enough talent? Who has the looks and the arrogance? Can the baby-faced Grayson Allen take the developed world by storm with a Laettnerian attitude? All this, I say is nonsense talk. To replicate a legend like Laettner is futile. Duke, if it wants to progress, must create a new breed of villain. Yes, this villain must be more accessible to the masses. More multicultural—more modern. Laettner had the prep-school bravado, but if Grayson wants to fill his shoes, he must take the image to new heights. He must do something new with it. Right now, Gray-

Monday Monday PEACE! LAND! BRODHEAD! I am sure you already know we have achieved this great honor. All of American nation already knows this. But, I am quite confused because it seems most of nation is not happy about this victory. From what I am reading, it seems that most of American population wishes great downfall upon Duke. Even in Zemblian local news, there is interest piece on why Duke is more hated by Americans than Cuba. Maybe I am missing something, but this makes no sense. Why is America against Duke, when Duke is very symbol of who America is? Its intelligence, its whiteness, its arrogance, its summer homes and its annual sex scandals—all of this is emblematic of very American dream that United States citizens espouse every single day. How can population not support this? After asking friends about topic, I am told that much of Duke hatred boils down to a beautiful man named Christian Laettner, whose face was chiseled from stone and whose college basketball skills were gifted by Athenian Gods. Though he possessed enough all-around superiority to cause droughts throughout the world, his arrogance earned him enough hatred for ESPN to make feature-length soft-core pornographic documentary about his skills.

son’s meat and potatoes baby face and impressive basketball talents aren’t doing it. Let’s add a little cosmetics to list. Put some shadow around Grayson’s eyes and powder up his skin a bit. Dye his hair black and put spiked collar around his neck. Add a few lip piercings. Put Quinn in skin-tight leather bodysuit cowboy boots. During new halftime act of intimidation, get Quinn on the drum set and let Marshall—with gaged ears—play bass. Jahlil can shred the guitar and Grayson can sing war chants like “Detroit Rock City” and “Shout It Out Loud.” All this while Coach K plays cowbell in black flandex tank top. Such display of dominance will far overshadow any hair-flicking or light footstomping that Laettner could ever muster. In Soviet Zembla, most feared American superheroes was vigilante group known as KISS. It is my humble opinion, that the Duke basketball team, if it truly wants to be source of great intimidation and subject of great hatred, should take a page from this group’s book. But until then, I will be celebrating Blue Devil Championhood until end of time! Ishmael celebrated National Championship in Indy, but in light of recent political happenings, boycotted all overpriced soda.

Third time is the charm

ife at Duke revolves around cycles. There’s the academic calendar with standard, annual signposts from fall break to the inevitable countdown to LDOC. Then, there’s the student life calendar built around major events like rush or tenting season with each year mirroring the same ebb and flow of social activity across campus. Since stepping on this campus nearly three years ago, I have come to recognize a third, far more pernicious yearly cycle at Duke. For lack of a better term, let’s call it the “scandal cycle”—the moments that remind us just how far as a society and an academic institution we have to go before we ever come close to becoming the equitable and ethical university many of us want

that every single member of this community is guilty. “Guilty of what?”, one may ask defensively. Complicity. If we follow that logic, then the natural recourse for change would be reparative action, tangible material steps of progress whether that entails building an acceptable Muslim life center, forming a black student pre-orientation program, investing heavily in financial aid, deconstructing a classist and racist Greek system or hiring diverse faculty among others. The end goals seem pretty clear, but let’s dig a little bit deeper. We’ve known about these kinds of issues for years, yet none of the examples I just laid out have been undertaken. Here we can see the tandem of

nsolicited advice is similar to finding Space Jam on TV: you’ll never actually seek it out, but when it accidentally butts its way into your life, it can certainly make a difference. Spoiler alert—I will not end this column with a half-court dunk. Fun fact: “how do I get into med school” gets 109 million hits on Google - this is compared to a scant 65.2 million hits for “how do I become a good doctor”. Meaning a lot of people are painting lipstick on a pig to get into their dream medical school, but once they’re there, the actual process of turning your beautiful swine into some nice crunchy bacon is not quite as well defined —“clear as mud”, as they say. I’ve recently had a few random experiences that made me really question where I even am. I had a patient in clinic tell me that her issues had been going on for “a minute”. As that description of time ranges from “slightly more annoying than The Lego Movie not being nominated for best animated movie” to “makes me want to rip my hair out”—jokes on you, I’m balding. Can’t get bald twice, sucka—I wanted her to clarify. She said, “Oh sweetie, it was

THE TIME WE ARE GIVEN

GUEST COLUMN

Duke to be. Every year, there’s another stark reminder of racism, classism, sexism or religious bigotry among the multitude of societal injustices embodied in the daily life of this campus. National media coverage turns what should be a moment to question and respond with institutional change into another scandalous moment of Duke on the national stage scrambling to contain the bad publicity. Every year, like clockwork, another rally, another set of public statements of horror at the event and support for those affected and a bevy of social media posts and hash tags. Every year the words just seem emptier and vain. All bark and no bite. We keep posting about change and the systemic and institutional barriers that have built the Duke of today. We keep making noise with protests, campaigns, posters and forums. And little to nothing happens beyond statements and speeches in response. And then it just happens all over again. That’s the problem with cycles. Systems of oppression continue to reinforce themselves not by conniving back room deals but truly by the complicity of the masses. We might be some of the most intelligent people in the country, but our failures to recognize the cycle and take action to work actively against it fundamentally restrict progress. That burden does not rest squarely on the leaders of Black Student Alliance, Blue Devils United or committed activists in our community. It rests on every single individual from the average undergraduate student all the way to President Brodhead. Some have the ability to shift policy by their position but, for most of us, our power relies on the collective action of a democratic body. Each person has a part to play. There are members of this community whose malice builds walls around the systems we seek to tear down. More often than not, however, it is the failure to translate good will into action where many get stuck. Duke might be guilty, but that means

failures of complicity and blatant bigotry in their naked reality. It begs the question of why we can’t seem to take the words of every press release and turn them into institutional change. Anytime activism is mentioned, the topic of love is often at the heart of the discussion. I do not think we know what love means though we use it so frequently to describe responses to hatred or to the kind of community we want to embody. If we could put up a mirror to our words and to our actions, we would quickly realize that very few of us, myself included, grasp what love is and why it’s important. We’ll only ever break this cycle and translate those statements into action when we do. When we say only love can put out hate, what we’re really saying is that all humans, regardless of the hatred they have in their hearts, are in fact human and that the only way to respond positively to a racist Yik Yak post is to reject disdain. When we say only love can put out hate, what we’re really saying is that the response to systems of oppression is to shine a light on their realities in practice no matter how many times we need to do so. When we say only love can put out hate, what we’re really saying is that our daily actions reflect on our love more than anything else; that our words are not enough. Three years in, many of us are tired feeling stuck in the mires of university politics and an institution resistant to ask, let alone answer the honest questions about its current state. Three years in, I’m praying for patience, the fortitude to keep pushing forward and the love that breeds courage. Three years in, I’m hoping beyond reason that the third time is the charm. Maybe just maybe, this can be the moment for authentic change when we wake up and begin to address the roots of injustices in this institution and this community. Until then, the cycle will keep revolving. And time will march on still.

a LONG MINUTE.” So great, now I’m faced with the dilemma of how to kindly, yet sternly, ask a sweet 80 year old lady for the third time to give me any sort of semi-coherent answer. Just to recap, I went to four years of undergrad and have finished almost three years of medical school to get to the point where I’m sitting in a room and my biggest problem is quantifying time, which is a skill that I thought I mastered the first time around being seven years old. That’s not my only educational deficiency, though. Another thing I can’t do yet that doctors can is identify people who are at high risk of dying if we don’t intervene. That’s what earns people a trip to the intensive care unit where we artificially eat, breathe, pump blood, drink, pee, poop, pass flatus, grow hair, sweat or whatever bodily function you want us to do. People get worse. People get better. Not to get too philosophical or religious, but if people want to say that doctors are playing god, I’d love to have that omniscience sense to know who falls in each of the categories and why. But now that’s a luxury that I get to, as a student, spend more than 15 minutes with each of my patients every morning. I don’t just get their vital signs, do their physical exam, look at meds, labs, etc., but I get to hear their whole story—what room are they staying in, when are their kids coming to see them, how they plan on leaving the hospital, or what they are going to eat as soon as they don’t have to eat hospital food—because nobody would ever sneak food into the hospital. This might have gotten me in a little bit of trouble when I told a patient that their urine had grown out E Coli—a common urinary tract pathogen—but the patient hear E-bola, which prompted a request for a transfer out of the hospital because we gave this person “the Ebola”. “Sometimes you just need to shut your mouth and keep to yourself, Geoffrey” says my mother to seven year old Jeremy—update: I’m nearly 26 and she still calls me my brother’s name. So I’m going to open my mouth. Would I have gone through college differently or even changed careers knowing what I know now? Yes. But then again, I also probably wouldn’t have wasted time on season three of House of Cards either. I never would have known that fake Putin would end up being my favorite character. I would have had major FOMO whenever people talked about it, so I just needed to know. Whoever started perpetuating the idea that getting into med school was the hardest part of being a doctor is full of crap, but it’s certainly the most out of your hands. I know duke is full of people who are thinking about how to get where I am/going to be here soon. I think that 139 million people probably have had similar ideas to me, but at any rate, whatever you enjoy most in college is probably the best way to get here is what they’re all saying. If you end up hating analytical chemistry but loving something else—that’s fine. If you think taking the history and future of Canadian baseball is a class that might make it worthwhile to be functional at med school parties, which is roughly 30 percent of your grade, then that’s what you need to take. Regardless, you’re going to be relearning the same lessons as a seven year old, so just make sure you’ve brushed up on tying your shoes and brushing your teeth - you’re going to need it.
