GRAYSON OFF GLASS

Motion to dismiss Duke lawsuit denied

Allen’s buzzer-beater sends Duke past No. 7 Virginia

Abigail Xie The Chronicle Motions by Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit filed against the universities last year were denied in federal court Friday.

In the lawsuit filed last May, Dr. Danielle Seaman—Duke assistant professor of radiology—alleged that an illegal no-hire agreement between Duke and UNC administrators prevented her from receiving a parallel position at the UNC School of Medicine. Seaman’s original lawsuit contended that the alleged no-hire agreement between Duke and UNC prohibited the lateral hiring of each other’s medical staff and faculty, which had the “intended and actual effect” of suppressing competition and employee wages, and was in violation of federal and state antitrust laws.

The defendants—Duke University, Duke University Health System and William Roper, dean of the UNC medical school—filed motions to dismiss the case Oct. 15, claiming immunity on the grounds that UNC is a state institution and thus is exempt from antitrust litigation. Duke is also arguing for dismissal on the basis

The script called for either Brandon Ingram or Grayson Allen to take the final shot.

The ball wound up in the hands of Allen—and he delivered his lines perfectly.

With Duke trailing by one, Allen inbounded the ball to Marshall Plumlee with six seconds left, then got it right back.

Anthony Gill picked up the sophomore aggressively as Allen came off the Plumlee screen near the top of the key, but the sophomore turned the corner and drove the ball to the rim against Marial Shayok, took a final step and banked in a gamewinning runner as time expired, lifting Duke past No. 7 Virginia 63-62.

Thanks to Allen’s late-game heroics, the Blue Devils pulled off their second straight home win against a ranked opponent Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Allen scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half—including the game-winner— and Ingram scored a game-high 25 to lead Duke to its 17th straight win against the Cavaliers in Durham.

Thirty seconds earlier, Allen had missed two free throws with Duke leading by one, and Malcolm Brogdon’s no-look reverse layup with 10 seconds to go gave the

Cavaliers a 62-61 lead.

“Free throws are something that should be automatic for me, so me missing those, I was pretty mad after that, I’m not going to lie,” said Allen, an 86.1 percent free-throw shooter who went 7-of-11 Saturday. “Time does go a lot slower, and I kind of knew that.

I knew I had enough time to make a move and take a couple of dribbles.”

The referees checked the replay monitor to ensure the ball left Allen’s hand in time—it did, with about two-tenths of a second to spare—and the Jacksonville, Fla., native eventually emerged from the pile of Blue Devil teammates that had tackled him in celebration.

“If [Virginia helped on the drive], I was going to kick out and find a shooter,” Allen said. “But I felt like I had the lane, I had my man one-on-one. I knew he was going to be strong and body up, and I knew I had to go through that and finish.”

Allen scored seven of Duke’s final 10 points, but Ingram carried the Blue Devils (19-6, 8-4 in the ACC) for much of the game after shaking off a slow start.

The freshman made seven straight field goals and scored 18 consecutive Duke points spanning halftime as the Blue Devils surged back from a double-digit deficit, then held on as the Cavaliers (20-5, 9-4) erased a seven-point deficit of their own.

in the second half and held Virginia scoreless for 4:51 to build a 51-44 lead. But then it was the Blue Devils’ turn to go cold, enduring a scoring drought of nearly four minutes that allowed the Cavaliers to climb back within two.

With the game tied at 56, Ingram swooped in for an offensive rebound to end a personal string of four straight misses, but Brogdon answered with a layup on the other end.

Allen splashed in two free throws coming out of the under-four media timeout, and Plumlee split a pair after getting hacked late in the shot clock. Duke had a chance to add to its lead with an offensive rebound, but Matt Jones’ 3-pointer did not go down.

London Perrantes calmly hit two from the charity stripe to cut the lead back to 61-60, and that score prevailed into the game’s final minute. Devon Hall stripped Plumlee down low, but Brogdon’s runner was no good.

Brogdon scored a team-high 18 points, but he was just 1-of-6 from downtown and Perrantes—a conference-best 53.4 percent 3-point shooter—did not attempt a shot from beyond the arc.

“One of our goals this game was that since [Perrantes] and Brogdon have taken about two-thirds of their threes, to give See M. BASKETBALL on Page 9

University increasing publicity of active shooter protocol Jaime Gordon The Chronicle Duke is in the process of spreading awareness about its active shooter protocols.

According to an article in TIME Magazine Oct. 1, there were 23 shootings on college campuses last year—a figure that sparked national debate about how universities should better provide for their students’ protection. Duke students never have to participate in active shooter drills, said Daryl Mount, a crime prevention specialist at the Duke University Police Department. On the DukeAlert website, however, there is a list of actions students should take in such an event—including evacuating, hiding out and taking action as a last resort. Mount said that optional training and preparedness sessions are offered for students, but noted that participation rates are low.

“The University, as a whole, is trying to push the steps that need to be taken and the mindset necessary to survive an active shooter scenario,” Mount said.

“It’s just a slow process to get the message out because [the administration] wants to make sure it’s spreading the right message.”

DUPD offers a seven-week Citizens’ Policy Academy for Duke employees, faculty and students. Its seventh iteration, which begins Monday and will run until March 24, will address subjects including firearms safety, active shooter protocols and crime scene investigation.

Mount explained that DUPD officers go through annual training for the possibility of an active shooter in all possible settings, including academic, residential and social environments.

Joe Gonzalez, dean for residential life, said that Housing, Dining and Residence Life is currently developing more emergency protocols for such dire situations. The new plans will tentatively be finalized by August and have been in the development process for six months, Gonzalez said.

“If that terrible situation was to occur

on our campus, we really want people to feel empowered to the steps they need to take to keep themselves safe,” Gonzalez said.

DUPD Chief of Police John Dailey wrote in an email that Duke has brought in “leading behavioral assessment team practitioners” to train behavioral assessment teams, which have representatives from various University departments, to assess concerning behaviors.

All resident assistants participate in mandatory video training and discussions before orientation week, which is based on the plan on the DukeAlert website.

The plan advises students, patients and visitors to follow the lead of an employee in the event of an active shooter scenario,

and recommends that they evacuate, hide out and take action if necessary.

Ismail Aijazuddin, a sophomore and RA in Bell Tower residence hall, said that he feels more prepared to deal with such an active shooter situation after attending this mandatory summer training.

“The sad reality is that there are shootings on college campuses,” Aijazuddin said. “In the event that something arises, I hope that the people who attended [these trainings] will be a little quicker to act than others.”

Duke is developing a video for students, staff and faculty slated to be released in the next two weeks, Dailey wrote.

Gonzalez said that HDRL is

considering increasing the fence around Central Campus and changing the traffic flow.

Although North Carolina law allows guns on public university campuses under limited conditions, Duke continues to ban all firearms on campus, according to Duke’s Weapons/ Firearms/Explosives policy.

The density of people in Cameron Indoor Stadium also can be problematic for quickly and efficiently responding to emergency situations. Senior Will Bobrinskoy, co-head line monitor, wrote in an email that every person who enters Cameron must go through a metal detector and that bags are not allowed See PROTOCOL on Page 4

Students part of march for equality in Raleigh Saturday Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle A march in Raleigh for civil rights drew thousands of protestors to address a variety of social and political issues in the state.

People from across North Carolina came to Raleigh to participate in the 10th Annual Moral March on Raleigh, a movement focused on combatting voter repression and promoting issues of justice and equality. The march began in front of the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium, where religious leaders, artists and organizers spoke to the crowd. The protesters marched seven blocks and ended in front of the North Carolina Capitol Building, where speakers discussed different aspects of the “14-Point People’s Agenda,” which includes suggested reforms to voting procedures, housing, education, criminal justice and the environment, among other issues.

“I think the larger impact is energizing an electorate,” said senior Brenda Onyango, president of the Duke chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “The larger impact, especially having so many young people come, is people seeing how they can directly influence legislation and the process of writing policies.”

Among the speakers at the march— which was sponsored by the Historic Thousands on Jones St. People’s Assembly Coalition—was Michelle Laws, executive director of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP, whose speech about the importance of the arts in social movements was followed by performances

from poets and singers.

“We are alive and well because we’ve got some awesome cultural artists who are speaking loudly and doing their thing,” Laws said.

Rev. William Barber II, president of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP, said in his speech that supporters of all the presidential candidates were welcome, but explained that advocating for specific candidates was not the purpose of the march. Barber added he did not actively support any of the current candidates

because they have not spoken out on voting rights issues.

“We do not endorse candidates.” Barber said. “We endorse issues.”

Some marchers still held up posters and signs in support of candidates, despite Barber’s remarks.

Protestors repeatedly chanted, “No justice, no peace” and, “The people united will never be defeated.” Another of the most common refrains was, “This is our Selma.

This is our time. This is our vote.”

When the North Carolina General

Assembly changed voting laws in 2013 to enforce photo identification, cut early voting by a week and eliminate sameday registration, many civil rights groups such as the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP have drawn attention to the impact of what some perceive as voter restriction.

Sophomore Rachel Thompson, health committee co-chair for the Duke NAACP, said she marched for voting rights and women’s health, for example in support of Planned Parenthood.

“Honestly, it’s a really large impact on the statewide level, just showing how communities can unite together to make their voices heard,” Thompson said.

Another major focus was youth involvement in advocating for these issues.

Students from different universities, including Duke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, participated.

Onyango noted that students should take advantage of the early voting polling site coming to the Freeman Center for Jewish Life on Duke’s campus.

Tyler Swanson, field secretary for the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP, spoke before the march, advocating for everyone to speak out on important issues for their generation.

“We have no time for foolishness when our voting rights are under attack,” Swanson said. “We have no time for foolishness when black lives are being attacked every 28 hours. We have no time for foolishness when our higher education is being sold to the highest bidder. We have no time for that. But, I can say this.

We will win.”

‘Surreal’ Shot CaPS ePIC SeQueNCe Meredith Cash The Chronicle

Six seconds, five dribbles, three defenders and one shot. That’s all it took for number three to get the Blue Devils past No. 7 Virginia for the 17th straight time at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

What a 69th birthday for Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

“If he were to tell you what he wanted for his birthday, he would have said a win,” said sophomore Grayson Allen, whose gamewinner sent the Blue Devil bench streaming onto the court with a 63-62 victory. “It feels good to give him that.”

In a grueling back-and-forth game full of momentum swings, it was only fitting that the victor between these two traditional ACC powerhouses be decided by a virtual—and literal—toss-up in the final 30 seconds.

Allen’s buzzer-beater—the product of his attack-the-rim-at-all-costs mentality— nearly blew the roof off of Cameron Indoor Stadium, and helped the sophomore check an item off of every basketball player’s bucket list.

“All the time out in my driveway, I would just count down in my head. It’s really surreal for me, [Duke] being my dream school,” Allen said. “A moment like that is something you dream of. You do it a hundred times over when you’re a little kid.”

Allen was clearly Duke’s hero Saturday. But up until his shot hit glass and dropped through the rim, he was trying to atone for two misses that nearly cost the Blue Devils a win.

Allen pulled down the defensive rebound with 27 seconds left after Virginia’s leading scorer, Malcolm Brogdon, missed a pull-up jumper for a one-point lead. Cavalier point guard London Perrantes wrapped up Allen as quickly as he could to stop the clock and send him to the line. The Jacksonville, Fla., native had shot 7-of-9 from the charity stripe prior to his trip to the line with 27 seconds left and entered Saturday sixth in the ACC at 86.1 percent.

If the Blue Devils could have picked anyone on the floor to send to the freethrow line in a late-game situation to turn a one-point lead into a 64-61 edge, they

would have chosen Allen.

But Allen—who logged all 40 minutes Saturday—missed the first one. Virginia head coach Tony Bennett called a timeout to draw up a play and give Allen a little more time to contemplate the critical importance of his next shot.

The sophomore toed the line again, went through his routine and released the ball— and missed again.

“As soon as I missed those two free throws, my mind immediately went to getting a stop,” Allen said. “I was more thinking about ‘You need to get the ball back and make up for what you did.’”

Anthony Gill secured the rebound and the Cavaliers took a timeout to draw up what seemed likely to be their do-or-die plan. After running some time off the clock, Marial Shayok whipped a pass down low to a cutting Brogdon. The Atlanta native

collected the pass as he crossed underneath the basket, adeptly navigated around multiple Blue Devil defenders and leaned backward in one fluid motion to flip in a reverse layup, giving Virginia a one-point lead with 10 seconds remaining.

But any team in the ACC knows better than to get comfortable with a lead until after the final buzzer sounds—especially the Cavaliers, who stormed back from a 10-point in 90 seconds deficit to stun Wake Forest on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer off glass Jan. 26.

Duke raced the ball back up court. Krzyzewski called a timeout with six seconds remaining, knowing full well that he had some not-sosecret weapons at his disposal.

“I knew we could get Grayson or Brandon [Ingram] the ball, but I wasn’t sure that they would have been able to do that in the flow of the game,” Krzyzewski said. “Then we went to Grayson.”

Allen inbounded the ball to captain Marshall Plumlee, who handed the ball back to Allen, leaving him with two defenders and barely five seconds to work a miracle.

He maneuvered his way into the paint and leapt into the air. There was plenty of contact, but no whistle came.

In a last-ditch effort, Allen tossed up a runner that glanced off the glass and fell through the net. Seconds later, he was at the bottom of a pile of Blue Devils in front of the Duke bench.

“We have guys one through five who are all capable of scoring and want to take the last shot, but I don’t think there’s anyone in the world I trust more than Grayson with the ball,” Plumlee said. “I couldn’t be more proud of him as a friend and as a teammate. This is a memorable moment and he did a great thing for our program tonight.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Demon Deacons snap 44-game skid against Duke Hank Tucker The Chronicle WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—Duke will finish its regular season without beating a ranked team, but until Sunday afternoon, the Blue Devils had not lost to a team below them in the ACC standings.

They cannot claim that luxury anymore.

In a game of runs and wild momentum swings, Wake Forest used an 11-3 run early in the fourth quarter to pull away from Duke for a 64-58 victory at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum and snap a 44-game losing streak against the Blue Devils.

Sophomore Amber Campbell scored a career-high 27 points—including five straight spanning the third and fourth quarters—and freshman Ariel Stephenson gave the Demon Deacons the lead for good with a 3-pointer with 8:23 remaining.

The loss was the Blue Devils’ third straight and drops them below .500 in conference play, putting their NCAA tournament hopes in jeopardy with just three games left in the regular season.

“It’s a game of runs, and the key is keeping your run. When you come out and we drop those points and tie it up or go ahead, you keep the ball and you

keep those runs going,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “I loved the way we came out in the game and also I loved the way we came out after halftime. I thought we did a wonderful job there. We just didn’t keep our consistency.”

Duke (17-10, 6-7 in the ACC) had numerous chances to stop the bleeding, but missed three straight

free throws early in the final frame, and after junior Oderah Chidom trimmed the deficit to five with a 3-point play, Stephenson responded with another 3-pointer from the corner to stretch the lead back to eight.

Chidom was a consistent presence down the stretch after missing most of the first half with foul trouble, and she finished with 18 points—tying a career-

high—and six boards.

The 6-foot-4 forward trimmed the deficit to 54-50 with a pair of free throws with two minutes remaining, but once again, Stephenson came right back with a midrange jumper. A possession later, Campbell put the nail in the coffin with a driving layup through contact, and Wake Forest (15-11, 6-7) iced the game with free throws.

“We just didn’t do a good job with one-on-one stops. We let her penetrate into the gaps and get in there,” redshirt sophomore Rebecca Greenwell said.

“Our help-side [defense] could have been better also, but she was just really good.”

After stumbling to an 11-point halftime deficit, Duke was energized coming out of the locker room and opened the second half on a 16-2 run, taking the lead on a 3-pointer by Greenwell after the Blue Devils forced a turnover with a full-court press.

The Owensboro, Ky., native scored just three points in the first half, but was more active after the break and finished with 11 points. Greenwell and Chidom combined for 14 of the team’s 16 points in the third quarter.

Duke suffered through two separate droughts of at least five minutes without a point in the first half, shooting just 8-of-28 from the field before the break.

W. BASKETBALL from page 7 The Blue Devil offense remained disjointed while sophomore Azurá Stevens remained sidelined with a torn plantar fascia for a fourth straight game, failing to reach 60 points for the third consecutive contest without its leading scorer.

McCallie’s bench was made even thinner because redshirt freshman Lyneé Belton did not travel with the team due to a hyperextended knee.

After senior Ataijah Taylor scored the first points in the game with an easy layup for Wake Forest, Duke

rattled off 11 straight points while holding the Demon Deacons scoreless for a 4:40 span in the first quarter to build an early lead.

The advantage evaporated by the end of the first frame, though, with Elisa Penna knocking down two 3-pointers to help the Demon Deacons score the last 13 points of the quarter. “[Runs are] a big part of it at this point in time, especially in conference games where everyone knows each other quite well,” McCallie said. “It’s important to have the ball, so that’s what you try to with those runs.”

Foul trouble plagued the Blue Devils much like it did Thursday night against No. 10 Florida State, with five players picking up two fouls before halftime.

Freshman Angela Salvadores had a strong first half with seven points, but committed two fouls in quick succession and went to the bench with 3:29 left in the first half. The Leon, Spain, native scored six of her team’s final eight points—she finished with 16 overall—but it was too little, too late.

“The foul trouble was a problem. They were not good fouls,” McCallie said. “I just think that anybody playing the game needs to keep themselves eligible to play. Foul trouble should not be happening—it should be something that is rare and not frequent.

Then, of course, you’ve got your full complement of people you can play at any given time, so we need to work on that.”

Duke had to patch together a lineup to finish the half featuring role players Mercedes Riggs, Faith Suggs and Erin Mathias on the court at the same time, and Wake Forest took advantage with five straight points before McCallie relented and inserted Salvadores back into the game. The substitution did not stem the tide, though, and the Demon Deacons rode a 15-1 run to take a 33-22 lead into the locker room.

Saddled with their first three-game losing streak of the season, the Blue Devils will head to Blacksburg, Va., to take on Virginia Tech Thursday.

M. BASKETBALL from page 1 them no threes,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “That’s easier said than done but Matt and Derryck [Thornton] did a really nice job.”

Early on, the Blue Devils got eight points in the paint off of dribble penetration by their guards against a stout Cavalier defense. But Virginia took control of the game with a 15-1 run midway through the first half to go up 25-14. Center Mike Tobey subbed in off the Cavalier bench and promptly hit 4-of-5 shots to key the spurt, taking advantage of the buffer afforded him by Plumlee around the free-throw line.

On the other end, Virginia closed up the holes in its defense and kept the Blue Devils around the perimeter, where Duke opened the game shooting just 1-of-9. That would soon change.

Krzyzewski burned a timeout to stop the bleeding, and the Blue Devils did just that, climbing back into the game with seven unanswered points. Thornton started the mini-run with a pull-up jumper, then Allen found Matt Jones after a pump-fake for a wing 3-pointer, Jones’ second of the half. On the next trip down, the 6-foot-9 Ingram posted up Perrantes, turned around a hit a jumper to cut the lead to four and force a Virginia timeout.

The Blue Devil offense ran through the freshman for the rest of the half— Ingram scored eight straight points, including two 3-pointers and a vicious blow-by dunk against Gill. “[Krzyzewski] got on me a little bit after the first eight minutes of the

game—I wasn’t being myself,” Ingram said. “I felt like I had to be more aggressive, and I started knocking shots down and felt more comfortable.”

Ingram started the second half just as he ended the first—on fire. The Kinston, N.C., native dropped in a short jumper on Duke’s first possession of the half, then took a feed from Allen and drilled another 3-pointer to tie the game at 36. After a foul on Gill, the Blue Devils inbounded the ball to Ingram, who knocked in his fourth triple of the game.

Virginia weathered the onslaught with jumpers from Gill and Isaiah Wilkins, but after finally missing a shot, Ingram drove the lane again and found Jones open at the top of the key for a game-tying 3-pointer.

After the 1-of-9 start, Duke made seven of its next 3-pointers, led by Jones—who had four triples and did not miss from downtown until 1:59 left in the game.

Allen and Ingram wound up with 23 of Duke’s 32 second-half points, using Plumlee ball-screens to try to drive against the Cavalier defense. The Blue Devils did so relentlessly all game long, and it ended up working to perfection on thee games final play.

“Those two kids are the kids who can improvise for us. We just try to put them in positions where they use their talents and they know that we have confidence in them,” Krzyzewski said.

“The basketball gods were good because [Allen] is such a good player.”

Duke will head to No. 9 North Carolina Wednesday at 9 p.m. to renew the Tobacco Road rivalry and continue its four-game gauntlet against the class of the ACC.

A call for courtesy in rigorous debate

nited States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who had served on the bench of the nation’s highest court for the past 30 years, passed away this weekend. Justice Scalia was famous for his controversial but airtight dissenting opinions that helped focus Supreme Court debates on interpretation of the original meaning of the constitution. A solidly conservative justice, Scalia was renowned for the high quality of his majority opinions and the total acumen of his dissents. He was a husband and father of nine children who rose from a childhood raised by immigrant parents to hold the highest American office of his chosen profession.

In spite of the respect due his office and achievements, within minutes of his death being announced Justice Scalia was being satirized as a blockade to social justice in publications like The Onion, and tweets rang out extolling his death and outright wishing him a place in hell.

Within hours, the discussion of his death became centered around the politics of who would replace him, and by the end of the day, the Republican presidential candidates vied in their debate to be the most unconditionally opposed candidate to President Obama’s nomination to fill the

onlinecomment “One of my takeaways from Me Too was that we should all try to stop judging strangers and go a little easier on the people around us, since we have no idea what’s going on in their lives.”

seat in his remaining year. More decorum was shown when even staunch opponents of Scalia’s ideals, like the Reverend Al Sharpton, asked for decency in the aftermath to Justice Scalia’s death.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg, with whom his opinions rarely aligned, further described him as her “best buddy.” His death is a loss for a profession that he made better through his passion and consistency.

We believe the human behind the opinions deserves better in his posthumous analysis.

Editorial The appointment of Scalia’s replacement will be an important one with several highly important cases that may be reargued in the Court’s current term. A promise by the senate majority leader to block nominations

by President Obama in order to await the results of the upcoming elections rests on nebulous claims that “lame duck” presidents should not appoint Justices who will serve life terms. In reality, with the senate controlled

by Republicans, it seems unlikely that any nominees will be able to be confirmed, making the appointment of the next justice

fundamental to the current presidential race and possibly changing the landscape of the election.

On our own campus, we have seen opinion columns on both the right and left result in active comment threads filled with ad hominem attacks and sometimes void of intellectual engagement with the columnists’ ideas. We seem to exist more and more in a culture where polemic is the only tone we feel cuts through the din. The feedback is such that the only audible response is more of the same or silence compared to the majority du jour.

If ever there was a way to move past ideological polarization and consider viewpoints in opposition of our own, perhaps it is this. We certainly need not agree with the viewpoints of Justice Scalia or Bader Ginsburg, but we should attempt to deeply know those opinions, respecting those who have achieved so much and inspired so many and take a cue from the deep friendship of these two American ideologues. It is acceptable, and even admirable to have studied intensely enough to earn strong opinions. Until we have truly undertaken this study, perhaps we would all do better to work towards consuming more than we produce in an appropriate balance and focus on considered debate over easily shared one-liners.

On choices

uke has bludgeoned, not coddled me. I believe I am not alone when I say this.

Columnists and writers have oft criticized our generation for being coddled and protected from scary ideas. My reality has been far different than the idyllic campus portrayed in admissions brochures.

Most people I know have been forced to grapple with more than what Duke promises in its brochure. Whether it’s a sexual assault, a struggle with depression or other mental health issues, body image, questioning one’s sexual orientation or gender identity, institutionalized racism and implicit bias, an institution that has failed its students or its

hearing for your sexual assault next week or your friend who has been in and out of the emergency room suffering from an illness. Duke begins to feel more like a long battle with the world versus the enlightening intellectual journey you envisioned when President Brodhead welcomed you to campus at convocation.

My mind has wandered often to this train of thought over the past few months. However, the prospect of my impending graduation has brought me back to thinking about what has made the past four years great, in spite of all there exists to the contrary.

I could have chosen to attend a different

Jay Sullivan hope, for the win values. Whether it’s a chronic illness, a death in the family or simply self-doubt about what comes next, in the world of Duke, you pick your poison.

Perhaps this awakening to life and all the things that make it hard is a natural occurrence as we grow up. Perhaps it’s a necessary lesson that sometimes the world hands you lemons, and no matter what you do, the lemonade you try to make is going to taste terrible. Perhaps Duke as an institution should reflect the conservatism of the world around it as a way to expose students to new ideas and challenge them to become activists early and often.

But we are students before anything else. We shouldn’t always have to bear the burden of telling administrators what they should do to make the campus a more inclusive and equitable place. We shouldn’t have to be assaulted by our peers and forced to deal with an exhausting system to get some semblance of justice alone. We shouldn’t have to organize a rally every time someone does something racist, homophobic or generally wrong in our community.

It is not our responsibility to always be the ones who are left to be both student and whistleblower/ activist/organizer/leader. Without fail, these so-called distractions do more to detract from our ability to succeed as students, our primary responsibility, than any tent in K-Ville or extracurricular activity ever could. Most times they are far more than distractions. There is no choice involved. And the pain is far too real to ever be considered a trifle of fancy.

Once the failings of this community become a central part of your psyche, it’s hard to begin to see the glimmers of joy and privilege endowed by being a student here. Duke is still a great place to be from but most certainly not the best place to be.

That midterm still matters but not as much as the

college. I could have decided to build different friendships or join different organizations. These thoughts are easy gateways to regret. There are things completely out of our control, but we share in the agency to choose how we respond and whether we stick by our friends and what is right no matter the consequences. After a Young Trustee campaign that required a great deal of energy and a “Satan will not win this day” mentality, I had one of those rare moments of pure joy that reminded me why I came to Duke.

When I started writing this column, I envisioned a message that life was all about the choices you make to care about a problem that isn’t yours, to support a friend or stand up for an issue. But as I reflected, I recognized such words were a trifle to the authentic nature of Duke for many who spend anywhere from one month to four-plus years on this campus.

Beyond the effortless perfection myth, there is so much more that we are expected to be and that we expect Duke to be for us. The truth for many is that they leave on or before graduation having lost their self confidence, perhaps their core identity or more frequently a part of themselves in the process. I believe we have the ability to choose how we respond when things outside of our control conspire to harm us, that we can say “Not today Satan” to power through it.

Time and again on days like today that belief has been tested. There are, however, little things we can look toward in the midst of the swamp of life, those glimmers of hope. I’m going to choose today to embody that spirit and seek it even when it seems ultimately lost. That’s the hope I choose to put my faith in.

Shot to the heart, and hookup culture’s to blame

r. Monday, I’m not sure if it’s the weather or what, but my heart has never been colder. Between midterms and Valentine’s Day, I’ve never felt more inadequate in my life.

the same people you do and can give you sex when it gets too cold to stand in the Shoots line—since I hate everyone, our relationship covers first base.

aced with the recent Blue Zone debacle, Duke Parking and Transportation officials have attempted to appease students with stopgap measures that fail to address larger-scale problems with the Duke transit network and abandon the organization’s key objectives.

Take, for instance, the mismatch between its current construction projects and long-term goals. The phrases “sustainable campus” and “seven-story, 2,320-space parking deck” make for a strange pair, yet both describe initiatives spearheaded by Duke officials. On one hand,

the struggle

find a girlfriend to get me through these tough times?

Best, Looking for Love Dear Looking, Valentine’s Day has always brought mixed feelings for me, like a bit of a cross-fade between the uppers of lust and downers of self-hatred. That isn’t bitterness talking—Valentine’s just sucks because it doesn’t bring anything to the table that isn’t done better by another holiday, minus the 100-pluspound anchor of the opposite sex.

Want presents? Celebrate Christmas.

Chocolate? Easter. Not Christian? Ya better convert before my boy Trump socks your sorry self back to Palestine where you belong.

So why do we even have a holiday for couples at all? Outside of the obvious fact that we need to crank out kids to keep up with China, Valentine’s ser ves as an emotional pit stop for all of us, a way to force us to face the hard questions about whether or not we’re happy with our current sex life. In a relationship?

Take advantage of that weeklong grace period where you can’t be broken up with to ask your girlfriend for a threesome to take the edge off that “I could get with someone at least one tier higher” feeling. In that awkward space where you know what someone’s balls look like but can’t seem to make the transition to sober conversation? Valentine’s is your per fect escape hatch to keep things from “moving too fast” or a great excuse to drunkenly profess your love. Even you GDIs masturbating alone in your room all weekend received a little cupid photoshopped onto Pornhub’s logo to keep you company!

Now, Mr. Looking for Love, most people who want a relationship don’t know what they’re getting themselves into. Sure, we’re all “mature adults” who are ready for a serious relationship, but let’s get a show of hands from the crowd of upperclassmen who are still with their high school girlfriends.

Statistically speaking, what you really want is someone who hates

think society has already established that if you can’t get laid, the best advice I can give you is to take a few more Pilates classes.

1) Get drunk more often This should be self explanatory, but I’m assuming we’re starting from the basics—you have to be in it to win it. You guys who are going out only one or two times a week might as well be hitting the gym without your blender bottle. Duke women are nocturnal creatures, only emerging during the day to buy new panties after Grayson makes game winning shots. If you don’t sync your schedule up with theirs, don’t blame me for your failures.

2) Think outside the box Just like a lot of male pornstars, sometimes you have to start out on the gay side of things to build up your resume before you get called up to the hetero-leagues. This really isn’t as bad as it sounds—sure, you might have to deal with the odd homophobic slur getting tossed your way, but think how the girls flock to your gay friends. Don’t have gay friends? After you join Grindr, you sure will—plus, what better way is there to prove to future bae that you’re willing to sacrifice for her?

3) Never take no for an answer In this PC culture we live in, the responsibility is on you guys to balance consent and making an aggressive move. I know first hand how hard this can be. First the girl is all “grab my hips and dance with me” at Shooters, but barely an hour later I’m supposed to not have sex with her just because she’s unconscious?

Please. As I’ve said time and time again, I look to my elected officials for a shining example of how to get your way in tough situations like this—and by that, I mean pretending to compromise while really just stalling to get what you want.

Dr. Monday would like to announce that after meeting with all candidates he will be endorsing Grayson Allen for Young Trustee, DSG President and President of Math Honor Society. Got more questions?

the University has invested substantial funds in hopes of making itself carbon-neutral in eight years through carpool programs, free public transportation passes, bicycle racks and the like. On the other, the Board of Trustees approved a $53 million structure to be built at the edge of campus far from where many of the 2,200 Duke community members currently on the waitlist for a parking pass actually work. While these two projects so antithetical to each other are not competing for funds in a zero-sum game— Duke Parking and Transportation is self-sustaining, a June 2015 Chronicle article reports — the garage construction suggests the administration is focusing less on sustainability than advertisements on campus buses would lead us to believe.

Next, let’s examine the contrast between long- and short-term goals with regard to a more timely issue. Parking spaces in the primary undergraduate parking lot have become scarcer than student group demands fulfilled by the administration, and, according to posts in the Fix My Campus Facebook group, the official response has been to remind commuters that a gravel lot exists at the far end of Blue Zone. In addition to assuming we lack the creativity to find parking spots not paved with asphalt and demarcated with white paint—something I highly doubt considering just how closely the arrangement of cars in Lot #1 at 10 a.m. resembles the 21-plus line for Saturday night Shooters—DPT fails to address an entire half of the supply-and-demand equation. By attempting to placate disgruntled drivers with “more” spots and more lenient enforcement of regulations, thus increasing supply, Parking and Transportation officials have forgotten that they can influence the number of people competing for space in the Blue Zone, Bryan Center parking deck and (let’s be honest) Keohane Fire Lane—the demand side.

Regurgitating passages from my Economics 101 textbook is a simple task, but making fewer students drive to campus each day is a more complicated one. For instance, the easiest method of decreasing demand for Blue Zone passes would be to simply raise the price of obtaining one, something the administration has done repeatedly. The cost of a pass has increased by 34 percent since I arrived on campus in 2012, a 2015 infographic published in The Chronicle indicates, yet the number of passes sold continues to exceed the number of spaces in Blue Zone. While another hefty price hike would make some commuters

reconsider their transportation options, I believe it would be counterproductive. After all, Durham is still a suburban city, and we need to address the reality that Dukies will always need cars, whether to drive home for the holidays or commute to further away yet cheaper apartment complexes. Alternatives must be considered.

I too considered substitutes to driving.

Upon moving off campus for my senior year, I eschewed buying a Blue Zone parking pass; $354 seemed a steep price to pay for access to a lot that frequently fills to capacity early, leaving

drivers circling for parking spots like vultures around roadkill. My inner urbanite celebrated this decision. After all, the LaSalle Loop bus route connected my apartment complex and West Campus, so my daily commute was sure to be a cakewalk. I was wrong.

According to the urban planning website CityLab, local bus service is viable only if vehicles depart at least every 15 minutes, something the LaSalle Loop does only after 5 p.m., when few students are going to or from campus. In other words, the schedules of buses connecting Duke and Durham were created with workers in mind, not students. Furthermore, the LaSalle bus runs on a one-way loop and takes 20 minutes to travel between my apartment complex and campus, making the allure of Ubering, parking in the Bryan Center deck or carpooling with a Blue Zone pass-blessed friend much more appealing than taking public transit.

In short, Duke Parking and Transportation employees have dedicated an undue amount of time to the parking side of their responsibilities and given short shrift to improving mass transportation.

While promises that the status quo will (eventually) return may shut students up until the next Blue Zone project begins, I recommend DPT consider providing more palatable alternatives to driving. Two that come to mind are improving the frequency of bus service to heavily student-populated neighborhoods and making the gold-plated carpool pass more easily attainable and flexible (my roommates and I had to drive to campus separately far more than 10 times last semester, a common reality for which DPT does not account in its carpool policy).

Both are simple fixes that would make it far easier for students to arrive on campus in something other than a car carrying only themselves, thus simultaneously ameliorating the parking problem and decreasing the University’s carbon footprint.

Incentives not to do something work best when paired with incentives to do its opposite, something of which administrators should be well aware as they search for an easy road out of the labyrinth that is this year’s parking situation. Until then, however, I recommend they park by the Duke Gardens visitor center. The lot is a quick walk to West and rarely ticketed.
