Duke to open interfaith prayer room

Gautam Hathi The Chronicle Young Trustee candidates Wills Rooney and Max Schreiber, both seniors, have announced in a written statement that they will not attend Black Student Alliance Young Trustee endorsement meetings.

According to the statement, Schreiber and Rooney believe that it would be unethical for BSA to make an endorsement given that Young Trustee candidate Jamal Edwards, a senior, was president of BSA during the 2014-15 academic year. They also expressed concern that they would not be given a fair hearing by BSA given that many members of the BSA executive board have already expressed their support for Edwards though social media posts and Facebook profile pictures.

“An endorsement meeting where each candidate is not afforded the opportunity of a fair hearing and where the board has no semblance of impartiality is no endorsement meeting at all,” the statement reads.

In the statement, Schreiber and Rooney point out that organizations which they are affiliated with have declined to make endorsements to avoid conflicts of interest. The Interfraternity Council—of which Schreiber is the president—and the Jewish Student Union have declined to make endorsements because of Schreiber’s involvement with those organizations. Rooney was previously part of The Chronicle’s Editorial Board and is still involved with the Duke Catholic Center, so both groups have similarly declined See ENDORSEMENT on Page 4

Shayal Vashisth The Chronicle An interfaith prayer room will open Wednesday in Keohane 4B for all undergraduate students.

The prayer room is a collaboration between Housing, Dining and Residence Life, religious life staff and religious groups on campus intended to create a sacred space available to students of any faith. Unlike the Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Divinity School prayer rooms, the new room will be located within a residence hall, instead of an academic building.

“This new prayer room is a step towards the direction of prioritizing people’s spiritual growth because it’s the first residential prayer room on this campus,” junior Meghana Rao said.

Jeff Nelson—residence coordinator for

Keohane and a Divinity School graduate— had the initial idea for a residential, interfaith prayer room. When HDRL and the Office of Information Technology removed the computers from a computer lab in the dorm, Nelson said he decided to capitalize on the empty room.

Nelson and representatives from various religious groups on campus will host a grand opening for the room from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. Wednesday. The ceremony will likely include a neutral, interfaith prayer for all the religious life groups represented. The goal of the organizers is to have 60 people attend the opening, said Minoka Gunesekera, a second-year graduate student in the Divinity School.

Rao noted that she hopes students will become comfortable with the space by exploring it, beginning Wednesday night.

“Here we are in the middle of this

dorm, and we’re going to make this room a place where people can go and sit in silence to contemplate and reflect and step outside of the stress and pressure,” she said.

In keeping with the room’s interfaith intentions, various books and religious materials have been donated by both the Durham community and people on campus. The room is equipped with benches, chairs, prayer mats and floor cushions. To respect different religions, the wall facing East has been left blank to allow Muslim students to pray toward Mecca without any barricades, and there is a space for students to remove their shoes before entering the room, as the removal of shoes is important in Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism.

The room is primarily for individual See PRAYER ROOM on Page 4

Questions arise about Durham County Jail following inmate deaths Frances Beroset The Chronicle With national attention focused on the treatment of prisoners by police, two recent deaths of inmates in Durham County Jail have raised concerns locally.

Matthew McCain, 29, died Jan. 19.

He was an inmate at Durham County Jail awaiting trial. Another inmate, Dennis McMurray, 52, died last January in the same jail under similar circumstances.

“My uncle called and told me my dad had passed away in jail,” said Shakiyla Young, McMurray’s daughter. “That same night I went to the Durham County Jail to ask them what happened, and they kept trying to say they didn’t know what happened, they found him collapsed on the floor and by the time they found him it was too late.”

McCain had been incarcerated since August. According to the official report of inmate death, McCain was alive at 5:01 a.m. Jan. 19. He was found in distress at 5:30 a.m., and pronounced dead at 6:08 a.m. The Sheriff’s Office and Durham County Department of Public Health are both investigating his death.

McMurray died Jan. 10, 2015, after being booked into jail the day before, from an accidental drug overdose, according to an autopsy report. Another inmate, Raphael Bennett, died Aug. 31, 2015, and an investigation is ongoing, according to the Office of the Sheriff.

Young said she visited the Office of the Sheriff multiple times in the weeks following the death of her father and learned more information each time. McMurray’s cause of death was determined to be a drug overdose, Tamara Gibbs, senior public information officer for the Office of the Sheriff, wrote in an email. She noted it was believed to have been caused by drugs ingested before narcotics detectives entered a residence and arrested him.

“I talked to the Sheriff again, and he told me that when my dad first got there, he told him he was having trouble breathing, so they took him back to the medical part of the jail and they gave him some medicine and sent him back to his

cell,” Young said. “And I guess after that is when he started calling ‘I can’t breathe!

I can’t breathe!’ but nobody came to see what was wrong with him.”

Young said she believed McMurray’s death may have been a result of negligence on the part of the jail.

“I heard a couple of things from officers that knew my mom. They were telling my mom that the inmates told them that he was calling out, screaming out for help, that he couldn’t breathe, like everybody in the jail could hear him,” Young said.

“And nobody came to see what was wrong or anything.”

Gibbs wrote that questions related to McMurray’s medical care should be directed to Correct Care Solutions, a contracted international company providing inmate medical care. Correct Care Solutions refused to comment due to the Durham County Health Department’s active inquiry, spokesman Jim Cheney wrote in an email Wednesday.

Detention Director Lt. Col. Natalie

Perkins did not responded to a request for comment in time of publication.

Treatment raises concern among activists Activists in Durham have rallied in response to wide-ranging concerns about inmate treatment in county jail.

The Inside-Outside Alliance—which supports those inside, or formerly inside, Durham County Jail—stages regular protests at the facility and maintains correspondence with inmates. It also works with the friends and families of those incarcerated.

The initiative has grown as an effort to document what Duke Divinity student Gregory Williams calls the jail’s “human rights abuses.” Williams is a member of the Durham County Jail Investigation Team, a 20- to 25-person group formed last summer as a mix of family members, former inmates, public health researchers, accountants and scholars advocating for an independent investigation into conditions at the jail.

“There are all of these claims that are coming out and the sheriff is saying everything’s fine, and yet under his watch, twelve people have attempted suicide, people are being denied medical care, all of this other stuff is happening,” Williams said.

According to a document provided

by Gibbs earlier this week, however, the Durham County Detention Facility has been “overly inclusive” in its classification of suicide attempts, which resulted in the12 attempts recorded in 2015, and 15 in 2014, a significant increase from the previous two years. “Mental health experts on staff at the facility have an alternate definition,” the document states. By this definition, only three suicide attempts were made in 2015 and two in 2014.

The team seeks to archive inmate letters, conduct a survey on prison conditions and inspect the jail facilities records of private companies that provide services to the jail—including Correct Care Solutions.

These demands were first made Dec. 14 with a request for response by Jan. 11, according to Williams. The group is now working on a “strong public campaign,” Williams said.

Since the group formed in Summer 2015, it has advocated against the “lock-back”—a policy implemented in March limiting the time inmates spend outside of the cell to two hours per day. The group also is concerned with the jail accepting Mexican consular IDs from visitors, access to writing materials and price-gouging at medical center and commissary, Williams added.

“The slogan that developed out of that movement was, ‘We believe prisoners,’” he said.

Increasingly strict policies In the past year, Durham County Jail has faced criticism for what those on the jail investigation team view as overly restrictive policies, particularly regarding the inmate “lock-back.”

Beginning in March, inmates were allowed outside of the cell for two hours per day—a reduction from the prior 10 hours per day. The Office of the Sheriff attributed this change to “illegal, assaultive See COUNTY JAIL on Page 4

DUHS records highest operating income ever in FY 2015 Kenrick Cai The Chronicle Major infrastructural expansions and upgrades coupled with expense reduction gave Duke University Health System the highest operating income in its history.

Duke University Health System, which is comprised of Duke University Hospital, Duke Raleigh Hospital and Duke Regional Hospital, reported an operating income of $355 million for the 2015 fiscal year.

Kenneth Morris, senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer for DUHS, attributed the record-setting numbers to the culmination of a number of investments and changes made recently, including the construction of the Duke Medicine Pavilion and Cancer Center.

“It was an extraordinary year,” Morris said. “For the three or four years leading up to this past year, we had made a series of investments in facilities and information systems that helped to relieve capacity constraints limiting growth.”

Morris noted that the patient volume grew at a rate far greater than management expected.

Although Duke Medicine administrators planned for capacity increases during the course of a few years, the unanticipated surge of volume forced management to rapidly open up capacity for patient use.

“Duke Medicine Pavilion added additional [operating rooms] and bed capacity, particularly in the intensive care units, which was where the constraint was,” Morris said.

New capacities were mainly apparent in fields such as intensive care, surgery and oncology. The $781 million construction of the Duke Medicine Pavilion and Cancer Center, which were completed at the end of

the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years, respectively, added 160 hospital beds, 16 operating rooms and 25 clinic rooms among other additions.

“That contributed to an 18 percent growth of revenue yearly,” Morris noted.

“So that 18 percent, that’s an extraordinary growth figure, after years of being in the two to three percent range.”

The health system also made a number of efforts to expand its reach regionally. In addition to its three main hospitals, DUHS has more than 80 outpatient and primary care locations within the Research Triangle area.

“We benefitted from growth in oncology, particularly in Wake County, as a consequence of the acquisition of a large group of oncology-related physicians and their assets,” Morris said, referring to the integration of a number of oncologists and their patients into Duke Medicine to increase its inpatient volume.

In addition to expansions to the health system, Morris explained that a large reason for the increased income came from a decreased cost of operation. Primarily, this came as a result of improvements in technological efficiencies.

“The investment in IT was significant because it gave us an enterprise-wide health record for the first time,” he said.

Morris added that changes to billing procedures also decreased costs.

“We strengthen revenue by doing a better job of coding and documentation so that we are getting paid for what we are doing.

And we reduce expenses in areas like supply chain and labor management,” Morris said.

“With our new IT capabilities, we are able to better manage care across the spectrum and become more efficient in that way.”

Morris said that Duke University Health System has a good academic and financial reputation. Duke University Medical Center

ranks competitively with institutions such as Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt and the Cleveland Clinic.

Although Duke does not compete for patients with these institutions, it does do so with other hospitals in North Carolina, such as Novant Health, WakeMed and UNC Health Care.

“We are acknowledged as the highest quality provider in the state of North Carolina,” Morris said. “Financially, we have formed at the top of that group. We are winning market shares from local competitors.”

Moving forward, Morris noted that the financial strategy of DUHS is spearheaded by the Transforming Our Future initiative.

TOF entails reducing costs, upgrading technology, and shifting the reimbursement model to from a fee-for-service model to a population-based model, in which the health system would be paid a fixed fee per month, regardless of the level of medical care required.

“We’d be getting paid to make sure you don’t come in and you don’t get sick.

That means providers at the hospitals and doctors may be asked to take risks for those populations.” Morris explained. “If we wind up with a very sick population, and we provide more care than the actuaries said we should, then we’re going to lose money.”

PRAYER ROOM from page 1 use instead of organized worship. However, both religious and nonreligious groups can reserve the space.

The room’s location gives it an advantage over other prayer spaces on campus, Gunesekera explained.

“Because it’s in a residence hall, it’s a little more accessible in the middle of the night or when some of the academic buildings might not be open,” she said.

Christy Lohr Sapp, associate dean for religious life, wrote in an email that she has often heard from students who want a place to pray at night when the Chapel is closed.

Gunesekera said she has also spoken to students who feel that campus can become “insular and barricading,” but said that this new space should offer a relief from the stressful environment.

“It is unique in that it’s not for studying and it’s not necessarily for purely social time,” Gunesekera said. “It’s almost like when you’re standing in that space, you don’t realize that you’re still on campus.”

The Chronicle

www.dukechronicle.com

Gunesekera added that she hopes to see interfaith conversations occur because of the room, allowing students to broaden their understanding of spirituality and recognize their commonalities or differences.

Rao said the room is primarily what the students make of it, but hope to see it remain a space “run by the students, for the students.”

“There’s an educational aspect to it because it really is about the coming together of people of different faiths and lack thereof,” Rao said. “It’s not a thing that is allocated only to those who believe in God or those who believe in many gods or those who don’t believe in a god.”

Lohr Sapp noted that the room represents a recognition of the diversity of religious life within the student body, especially because of the Christian chapel located in the middle of campus. She said it is also unique in that it allows students to pray on their own, without the leadership or assistance of religious life staff.

“It’s important to have this as a place for students first,” Lohr Sapp wrote. “Not as a place that is a public building or tourist attraction, but really created for students and by students with diversity in mind.”

COUNTY JAIL from page 2 behavior among detainees, some of whom had known gang affiliations” in its report released to press.

The Raleigh News and Observer contrasted this change with 16 hours per day outside the cell allowed for inmates in jail in Chatham County, 19 hours in Orange County and 13 hours jail in Wake County. Chatham and Orange county jails have fewer inmates than the Durham County Jail, with a little more than 100 inmates, but Wake County has more, with a capacity of 1,580 inmates. Currently, there are more than 400 inmates in Durham County Jail.

Prisoners told Time Warner Cable News in April 2015 that release times—two hours, twice a day—were random and took place “at all hours.” In August, Durham County announced an increase of time outside cells to four hours per day.

The North Carolina rules on jails and local confinement facilities states that “each inmate shall be provided opportunities for physical exercise at least three days weekly for a period of one hour each of the days.”

The National Institute of Corrections is slated to inspect the jail early this year at the request of Sheriff Michael Andrews. The Durham County Department of Public Health announced this Monday that they will conduct an independent investigation of McCain’s death, a “standard practice” according to spokesman Erik Nickens.

According to The News and Observer, a report by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services in October found that the medical plan at Durham County Jail was “not in compliance” with state rules, and an earlier report in April found that some supervision rounds were being conducted 90 minutes apart, instead of the required twice per hour.

The current ratio of detention officer supervision to detainees is one to 64, according to the Office of the Sheriff statement.

An event hosted Saturday by the Inside-Outside Alliance to protest the deaths of both McCain and McMurray. Approximately 100 protesters marched to Durham County Jail chanting “black lives matter, blue lives murder,” according to the Durham Herald-Sun. Both McCain’s family and Young spoke at the protest.

“This is an issue that affects the entire community,” Williams said. “It’s an issue of the common good, and all of us need to be involved in ending human rights abuses in the Durham County Jail.”

ENDORSEMENT from page 1 to make endorsements.

Schreiber expressed further concerns in an interview Saturday that the BSA endorsement meetings would be a waste of time for himself and for Rooney.

“These endorsements would be totally Kabuki theater if we did them because the outcome is predetermined,” Schreiber said. “We already know the leadership has a clear conflict of interest with Jamal so why would we allow them to falsely represent themselves as objective judges of my candidacy and then report back to others what I say?”

Rooney echoed these comments and said that he felt that BSA had already effectively endorsed Edwards in a public way.

“I don’t think it’s possible for BSA to hold a fair or honest or open endorsement meeting when out of their eight executive board members I was able to find six on Facebook and five of them had already changed their profile picture to endorse formally Jamal Edwards,” he said. “They’ve already effectively endorsed Jamal, and despite their trying, it’s impossible for a truly impartial meeting to occur.”

Rooney noted that he is open to meeting with BSA and discussing campus issues with them, but does not feel that their endorsement process is fair and open.

Schreiber said that while he found BSA’s endorsement process to be ethically troubling, he did not think BSA was acting in bad faith and added that he could not fault Edwards for taking BSA’s endorsement.

“I can’t make a judgement on who’s influencing [BSA], whether it’s because they like Jamal because he’s their former president or whether Jamal is actively reaching out and saying ‘support me,’” Schreiber said.

“I can’t fault Jamal, and I wouldn’t fault Wills either, for going out to a former group that he knows and saying ‘support me.’ My only issue is that it’s so obvious that it’s predetermined.”

Edwards did not respond to requests for comment in time for publication. Black Student Alliance President Henry Washington, a junior, declined to comment.

PUSHING THEIR LUCK

Duke faces a huge test in No. 3 Notre Dame Monday seeking its first win against a ranked team Ben Feder The Chronicle After a 1-3 start to ACC play, Duke has rattled off four straight wins, beating up on the bottom third of the conference. Boston College, Clemson, North Carolina and Pittsburgh boast a combined ACC record of just 5-28, but the Blue Devils emerged unscathed, weathered a pair of injuries and rediscovered some of the momentum that disappeared early in January.

Monday night, though, will provide a barometer test of just where Duke stands against one of the No. 3 nation’s best teams.

Notre Dame The Blue Devils vs. will face perhaps their toughest test of the Duke season against No. 3 Notre Dame Monday MONDAY, 6 p.m. at Cameron Indoor Cameron Indoor Stadium Stadium at 6 p.m. The Fighting Irish boast one of the most dangerous offenses in the nation, entering Monday’s contest averaging 81.0 points per game and with just a single blemish on their record at the hands of juggernaut Connecticut.

The Blue Devils are 0-5 against Notre Dame since the two became ACC rivals in 2013-14 and will have their work cut out for them again Monday after a weekend off from competition. A win against the Fighting Irish would be Duke’s first victory against a ranked opponent this season.

“They’re a very talented team. They have

a lot of different threats and they’re very offensive-minded,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “They score a lot of their points in transition. We’re going to have to play smart transition defense, stop their runouts, close out on their shooters and cut off that nice penetration by [Lindsay Allen].”

The Blue Devils’ four-game winning streak has been highlighted by Amber Henson’s defensive resurgence, as the team has shifted from a 2-3 zone to a 3-2 defense with star Azurá

Stevens at the top. With Henson’s rebounding ability, the versatile Stevens has been freed up to play anywhere in the zone, as her size and wingspan have disrupted opposing guards from finding an offensive rhythm.

Stevens and Henson will face another talented post player in Notre Dame sophomore Brianna Turner, who enters Monday’s contest averaging 14.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game on 60 percent shooting. Thursday’s win at Pittsburgh was perhaps Henson’s best

defensive performance of the season, as she was the leader of a unit that limited the Panthers to only four points in the paint, all of which came in the fourth quarter.

Henson’s defensive prowess does not always show up on the box score, but her intangibles have caught McCallie’s eye as the Blue Devils (16-6, 5-3 in the ACC) have climbed back above water in conference play.

Henson took a leave of absence from the program from Nov. 22 until early January, but has started each of the past four Duke wins.

“Amber’s been fantastic. She knows the defenses very well, she’s a vocal leader, she’s a team player and she has wonderful instincts,” McCallie said. “She plays very long and aggressive, and it’s been an enormous difference.”

The Tampa, Fla., native has contributed on the offensive end of the court. With her ability to step out and make long-range shots, Henson forces the defense to account for her, which has opened up opportunities in the paint for Stevens and junior Oderah Chidom.

Stevens will celebrate her 20th birthday Monday and sits just nine points shy of 900 for her career. The Raleigh native has been on a tear of late, scoring 33 points against Clemson before back-to-back 26-point outbursts against the Tar Heels and Panthers. During the fourgame winning streak, Stevens has expanded her game, knocking down 8-of-13 attempts from beyond the arc after making just six total 3-pointers in the team’s first 18 games.

Blue Devils fend off Wildcats to pick up road win Steve Hassey The Chronicle With their backs against the wall for the first time this season, the Blue Devils gutted out a hard-fought victory Sunday.

After playing three doubles matches, Duke looked in peril of losing its first match of the young spring season. But the No. 14 Blue Devils recovered to take four of six singles points to defeat Northwestern 4-3 at the Wildcats’ Combe Tennis Center in Evanston, Ill. DUKE 4 Competing in their 3 first road dual NW match, freshmen Kaitlyn McCarthy and Ellyse Hamlin contributed to the successful effort, capturing half of the Blue Devil’s four points. Classmate Jessica Ho nearly added a fifth point, but came up on the wrong side a third-set tiebreak.

“It’s a different kind of pressure for the freshmen,” Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth told GoDuke.com. “It takes time to learn that kind of pressure, but I thought all three handled it very well on the court. It will make them better in non-pressure situations.”

Coming off of a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of No. 11 Oklahoma State, Northwestern (1-2) started doubles play on fire, with Alicia Barnett and Erin Larner defeating Duke’s No. 26-ranked doubles team of Hamlin and Beatrice Capra 6-4. In the next match to finish, the Wildcats’ seventh-ranked duo of Maddie Lipp and Lee Or dispatched Duke’s tandem of McCarthy and Samantha Harris with ease, 6-3. This

secured the doubles point for the hosts and a disappointing start to the contest for the Blue Devils (4-0).

“We had some opportunities in doubles, and I think we played way too tentatively when we had those opportunities,” Ashworth said. “It looked like we were sitting back and hoping Northwestern would miss. They didn’t, and we need to be better than that in doubles.”

On the singles side, the Blue Devils showed plenty of grit, capturing three of their four total victories in three-set matches.

MEN’S TENNIS

But the score would get worse before it would get better. On court three, Harris fell to Barnett 2-6, 3-6 to give Northwestern a commanding 2-0 lead. However, junior Chalena Scholl subsequently recovered from a first-set loss to defeat Or 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 and put Duke back in contention.

To tie the competition, Hamlin improved her collegiate record to 7-2 by defeating Brooke Rischbieth 6-3, 2-6, 6-2. With the competition at a tipping point, No. 28 Capra fell behind 3-1 in the first set against Lipp before winning

six of the next nine games to win 7-6.

In the second set, she cruised to a 6-3 victory to give a Blue Devils a lead they would never relinquish.

Soon afterwards, McCarthy took care of the Wildcats’ Larner 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 to improve her singles record on the season to 8-5 and clinch the victory for the Blue Devils. After falling behind 5-2 in the first set, McCarthy rattled off five straight games to take the first frame.

She would experience the opposite, however, in the second set, blowing a 4-0 lead and losing seven of the subsequent eight games to lose her chance at a straight set victory before bouncing back in the decisive set.

“I thought we did a really good job of putting doubles out of our minds when we stepped onto the court for singles,” Ashworth said. “We just grinded. We didn’t have a great match, but we finally broke through, won a match, and you could see the confidence.”

In the final match of the day, Ho fell 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 (7-6) at the hands of Jillian Rooney in a third-set tiebreaker, but the outcome of the match had already been decided.

The Blue Devils will look to build off the momentum and experience gathered Sunday as they prepare for the ITA National Team Indoor Championship Feb. 5-8 in Madison, Wisc.

“We needed a match like that for our three freshmen to be put in pressure situations,” Ashworth said. “Hopefully it’s a good learning experience and makes us better when we play next week in Madison.”

WRESTLING

Duke drops fourth straight Healthy Blue Devils win 2 Delaney King The Chronicle For the fourth straight match, the Blue Devils came up on the wrong side of a close contest.

No. 24 Duke fell to No. 21 Northwestern Sunday at the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center, dropping a 5-2 decision and remaining winless against ranked opponents. The Wildcats claimed the fourth team point of the day, clinching the match with a 6-3, 7-5 victory by No. 50 Sam 5 Shropshire against NW DUKE 2 T.J. Pura on court two. The loss was Pura’s second consecutive in a decisive match after dropping a narrow three-set affair in Duke’s Friday matchup against No. 7 Illinois.

“It was a tough loss. I was very impressed with Northwestern, thought they played extremely well,” Duke head coach Ramsey Smith said. “Things just haven’t seemed to be going our way as of late, but I’m a believer that those things kind of even out as long as we have a good attitude and keep working.”

As has become common during its losing streak, Duke (1-4) dropped the doubles point for the third straight match, forcing the Blue Devils to fight back from a 1-0 deficit heading

into singles play. The matches stayed even through four games on every court, but a 6-3 win on court three gave Northwestern the first victory of the day.

Duke regained momentum when the court one duo of Nicolas Alvarez and Vincent Lin managed a break to take the lead just as the Wildcats managed the same feat on court two. With the Blue Devils up 6-5, Lin fired one serve after another at the 52nd-ranked pairing of Fedor Baev and Strong Kirchheimer, closing out the 7-5 win to make court two’s contest the deciding match. “[The] doubles point [was] really close again. We played great on [court] one, didn’t play great on [court] three, played well at [court] two—[we] had match point,” Smith said.

Josh Levine and Ryan Dickerson won three straight games to dig themselves out of a 4-2 deficit, and the match stayed close through a tiebreaker in which neither team could gain more than a one-point advantage. The Wildcats finally grabbed a 7-6 (5) win behind a lob over Dickerson and Levine—both of whom had creeped up to the net—that set up a match point on Konrad Zieba’s service point.

“Doubles sets the tone,” Smith said.

Seth Johnson The Chronicle With election season in full swing, the Blue Devils hit the campaign trail to the nation’s capital and scored two key midseason victories inside the Beltway.

Duke took Washington by storm Sunday, defeating Columbia 19-16 and American 23-13 at Bender Arena on the Eagles’ campus. After competing DUKE 19 shorthanded for six consecutive duals, 16 the Blue Devils were COL at full strength, DUKE 23 back displaying a full AMER 13 arsenal of weapons in their lineup.

“The days of us sneaking up on teams and teams overlooking us and all that other stuff, that’s in the past,” Duke head coach Glen Lanham said. “Everyone is going to come out and wrestle us hard. I like it, that’s what we should expect, to get everybody’s A-game.”

In his return at 125 pounds, sophomore Thayer Atkins provided Duke (4-5) an early spark on the mats to kick off the duals. After a scoreless first period in his opening bout, second and

third period takedowns kept the Dallas native on top and allowed him to ride out a 5-1 victory, his seventh of the season.

Although Atkins dropped his second matchup against American’s No. 8 David Terao 11-6, the decision defeat only cost the Blue Devils three team points—a much more favorable result for Duke than the forfeits and 6-0 holes it faced while the sophomore recovered from a concussion.

“It’s unbelievable for us when you can go out there and know that you have a fighting chance, not looking at giving up six points and then depending on a true freshman at [133 pounds] to come back and wrestle hard to try to get the team boosted,” Lanham said.

The Blue Devils’ 125-pounder got the scoring going early against Columbia (8-4), but the team fell behind after the 174-pound match, 13-10. With three weights remaining, Duke had to score to topple the Lions—and two redshirt seniors did just that.

Trey Adamson evened the score at 13 with a hard-fought 3-1 decision against Mike Fetchet at 184 pounds. At 197 pounds, No. 5 Conner Hartmann recorded a first period fall at the 2:35 mark. The pin was See WRESTLING on Page 9

CONSTRUCTION from page 5 House and in some of Wallace Wade, which is a bit unusual.

TC: When you were studying the plans for the renovations, were there any other schools that you looked at as a guide for what you liked and wanted to create at Duke?

MC: It’s kind of a unique situation—a bowl is pretty unusual. The longevity of the building is fairly unique in college athletics as well. When it comes to the amenities and the tower, we studied Wake Forest a lot as a peer institution—at the time when they built theirs [in 2008 they were] a rising football program, meeting demand, anticipating demand.

That’s probably the most like it. We looked at what Baylor’s done, looked at similar projects that were done at the time— Kentucky did another one. Those probably jump out the most.

Q & A

Stadium, how are things progressing with the frontal addition?

MC: Everything is geared toward August with all of our projects right now. The exterior and actual shell of the building will be done well before August, and then we’ve got some additional portions of it for occupancy, we’re sprinkling Cameron— fire-safety sprinkling. That’ll start after the basketball season’s over. The shell of the building will be done quite a bit ahead of schedule, and then all of our branding and displays and creation of Cameron tour and experience will all be done in those months leading up to August, so it’ll be ready before we start volleyball season.

TC: How is the new space going to be used?

MC: The second level will be a hospitality space, so game days but also usable on nongame days for private gatherings throughout the year. The first floor, we’re going to create more intentionally a Cameron tour and experience, and that’ll be the launching point of that, which will take fans on more self-guided tours at first throughout Cameron and some of the basketball history, tying in the basketball museum that we have now and some of the other things we have around the concourse. Obviously on game days it will serve as the lobby but also player will call and some of the things that serve as operations of the building. [There will be] new bathrooms, and we also create a new additional locker room, just for additional space when we have visiting teams or a tournament or different things that go on in Cameron.

TC: What was it like to see the football program keep pushing momentum forward with a bowl victory as all this construction is nearing its end?

MC: It’s been a long and exciting process.

A lot of this dates back to the strategic plan that was made for athletics way back in 2007-08. he response by When Dr. [Kevin] White TC: There’s a Duke fans has been came on board, one of preliminary sketch of tremendous.

It was definitely Trustees in February, so part of his vision and also that will be the seeking President Brodhead and Tallman Trask, some approval for design and construction. All of those initial walk-throughs, I remember they’ve approved to date is the site selection, it like yesterday, their thoughts on what we and part of that is showing them some need to do. It’s been a great team effort, so to preliminary renderings and depictions and see it come this close, it has a lot of personal where it would go and how it would fit into satisfaction and I think it will have a lot of the planning of East Campus, which has institutional satisfaction of a job well done. been done well under the direction and vision of Tallman Trask.

a 17-month project. We’re committed to the program up and running on our own playing field in August 2017.

TC: The baseball team is going to be moving downtown to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park for home games this season. How does that affect how you view Jack Coombs Field from a facility development standpoint?

MC: For us, it really became a philosophical ‘What’s the most impactful use of money and partnering and relationships?’ In this day and age, to have a competitive stadium venue, we would have probably put in $15-20 million minimum.

Obviously, Duke has been very tied in to downtown Durham’s revitalization and over the years had started playing games there, so it seemed like it was a great opportunity....

It’s really been a great partnership that’s really coming to a great bloom now with us essentially moving full-time down there.

We’ll still practice here and we did the turf field in Coombs [in 2011], which we’re glad we did. It’ll still be a practice venue, it’ll still be a potential game venue when we have conflicts, but this is going to be unique.

Very few programs can say they’ve got one of the top minor league stadiums in the country and a partnership with a successful organization like we have.”

W. BASKETBALL from page 5 Georgia Tech Thursday, the Fighting Irish (20-1, 8-0) have registered at least 60 points in every contest, despite being without Turner for six games. Notre Dame has four players— Turner, Madison Cable, Marina Mabrey and Arike Ogunbowale—who average at least 10.0 points per game.

The contest will feature two of the ACC’s most efficient offenses, with both teams hitting better than 45 percent of their shots.

But help is on its way for the injury-riddled Blue Devils. Freshman Angela Salvadores returned to action Thursday after dealing with an ankle sprain that forced her to sit on the sidelines for three contests. Salvadores played just nine minutes against the Panthers— missing her only shot and committing three turnovers—but her ability to penetrate will add yet another dimension to the Duke offense. Backcourt mate Kyra Lambert took over the role as the chief distributor in Salvadores’ absence, dishing out 18 assists in the past four games.

Salvadores and Lambert have faced several talented backcourts this season, but may find themselves relying on Stevens and Henson on both ends of the floor to pull out a seasondefining victory Monday. Henson has used her 6-foot-4 frame to alter opponents’ shots and crash the glass—the graduate student pulled down a career-best 16 rebounds against North Carolina Jan. 24. “[Henson] makes big plays and she works early and she stakes her claim a little bit whether it’s a jump shot, getting a great rebound or steal,” McCallie said. “I think that’s a mark of a veteran player who

The Chronicle

understands the game and I think there’s a lot in Amber. There’s a lot she can do and she’s a terrific shooter.”

M. TENNIS from page 6 “Singles, initially we had some chances early across the board. [We] didn’t capitalize on some of them, and I just felt like we lost a little bit of energy—a little bit of belief.”

Pura’s loss at No. 2 singles moved Northwestern (5-1) to 4-0 on the day, and the three remaining matches entered a third set to determine if the Blue Devils would make it onto the scoreboard.

Lin raced to a 6-0 sweep of Baev in the first set on court four but faltered in the second, falling behind a break to lose the set, 4-6.

Court five followed a similar trend—Adrian Chamdani claimed a 6-3 victory in the first frame, but Ben Vandixhorn evened the score with a 6-3 win of his own. Lin could not sustain his first-set pace and gave the Wildcats their fifth point of the day when he dropped the decisive set, 2-6. Chamdani delivered one of two bright spots for the Blue Devils, regrouping from the secondset loss to finish the final match, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.

The other point of pride came on court one, where No. 12 Alvarez battled against No. 16 Zieba in the sophomore’s highestranked matchup of the dual season. Alvarez played calmly despite long points, forcing his Northwestern opponent to move along the baseline as the two traded groundstrokes through three sets.

“I’m really happy with the way we

finished with Adrian getting that win and Nico beating a top-[20] player,” Smith said.

“This is the best Nico’s been this spring, and mentally he was good from start to finish and played a really complete match, so definitely a big positive for him.”

After losing the first frame 3-6, Alvarez reached a 5-3 advantage in the second behind a break in the fourth game. The sophomore fired a shot down the line behind Zieba, who couldn’t react in time, giving Alvarez the 6-3 win and sending the match into a third set.

The Lima, Peru, native remained composed throughout the decisive set, methodically placing balls just outside of his opponent’s reach. Zieba made few mistakes throughout the match but could not reverse his deficit, and Alvarez earned his fifth win against a ranked opponent, claiming the third set, 6-2.

“It was a pretty physical match, and Zieba

seemed to be struggling there at the end, so credit to Nico and his conditioning,” Smith said. “He really just kind of wore him down, but it was a great effort from Nico. He had a plan going in and executed it and stuck with it when things weren’t going well.”

The Blue Devils will take a break both from top-25 competition and the home court atmosphere as they take to the road and attempt to improve their worst team start since the 2001-02 season. Duke will take on Tennessee Friday before heading north to face Michigan Sunday.

“Our end goal is to maximize our potential by the end of the spring, and be playing our best tennis then,” Smith said. “[There is] still a long way to go there—both time-wise and playing-level-wise—but we just need to stay positive and keep working and learning from these matches.”

wrestle to the very end. For us to see those two go out there and compete—they train hard in the [practice] room—and it just carries over to the mat.”

Despite the early Finesilver wins, the Blue Devils fell behind 13-6 after No. 18 Jake Faust dropped his second dual of the day at 165 pounds. But Duke rallied in the final four weight classes.

Redshirt junior Brian Dorsey dominated Michael Eckhart for a 16-1 technical fall at 174 pounds, Adamson recorded his second victory of the day to give his team the 14-13 lead and Hartmann sent his opponent off 50 seconds into the match with an injury default for six more team points.

With the dual clinched after Hartmann’s win, Walsh returned to the mat for a tense finale. After a 1-1 draw took the bout into overtime, the Garnet Valley, Pa., native finished strong in sudden death and scored a 4-3 double-overtime decision with a late reversal to give the Blue Devils the doubledigit victory.

“Brendan kept wrestling the whole time and he knew it was either going to be the reversal or do-or-die,” Lanham said. “The other thing that I like is that the dual was sealed, but the guys still responded to his victory like he won the dual for us, and that was good to see. No one said, ‘Hey, we got this dual. Let’s put it in neutral and coast.’ The guys really got on Brendan and cheered him on.”

After navigating early season woes, Duke now rides a three-dual winning streak into a midweek matchup against Gardner-Webb. The Blue Devils will host the Runnin’ Bulldogs Wednesday at 7 p.m. and will honor their seven seniors prior to the match.

his fifth of the year and third consecutive in dual competition.

Hartmann’s six points put Duke up 19-13 with the heavyweights on deck, and though redshirt senior Brendan Walsh could not grab a win, a 3-1 decision defeat was not enough for the Lions to roar back.

“We had some guys really overall wrestle pretty hard for us today,” Lanham said. “[Conner]’s going out there, he’s staying physically and mentally focused.

He’s pressing his offense when he gets to a certain position—he’s relentless with it and we’re definitely seeing him mature into an elite, dominant wrestler in the weight class.”

In the second dual against the Eagles (4-5), the Finesilver twins kept the Blue Devils close in the first half of the lineup, delivering the only two victories prior to intermission. After scoring an 8-0 major decision in his first bout, Zach Finesilver captured a 5-1 victory against Tyler Scotton to put Duke on the board at 141 pounds.

At 149 pounds, brother Mitch Finesilver recorded his second decision victory of the day to bring the Blue Devils within one point. With the win, the 12th-ranked grappler remained undefeated in dual competition, became the first Duke grappler to reach 20 wins this season and avenged two early-season losses at the Hokie Open against Columbia and American.

“You know what the best thing is about [the Finesilvers]? They’re going to wrestle hard no matter what, and that’s what sudoku_515B we do,” Lanham said.

Creating an educational drinking culture at Duke

L

ast week, students were relieved to hear that a new member hospitalized for an alcoholrelated incident is expected to make a full recovery. Thankful as we are, we must not allow near misses of this nature to be okay. Remembering that Duke has previously lost students due to alcohol in 2000, 2010 and 2011, no rate of student deaths — even every several years — is acceptable. Our futures are far too bright to allow unhealthy drinking to make its way into student habits, putting ourselves and our peers at risk.

It bears discussing how — we can continue to improve our social culture at Duke to further limit the likelihood that Duke lives will be cut short, career paths damaged or injuries sustained as a result of alcohol. It is important to note that excessive drinking in short periods of time is as damaging as unhealthy long-term habits that students may develop.

Alcohol is a part of American culture. Duke graduates will be expected to appropriately navigate alcohol consumption in work and social situations.

Learning to responsibly and safely consume alcohol, knowing one’s limits and developing strategies to establish boundaries in social settings are tools students need to acquire during their time at Duke as they transition to being legal. As long as alcohol consumption remains an American pastime, students

must help each other navigate accepting and rejecting offers to drink.

Alcohol consumption becomes dangerous and is defined as binge drinking when four to five drinks are consumed within a two hour period. Drunk driving is always dangerous and resulted in a student tragically killing another student in 2012. It remains a problem at Duke, particularly for graduate students, who risk being denied professional licenses in addition to risking lives when they get behind a wheel after drinks. Students at Duke are generally watching out for one another and are understanding of those who abstain from drinking,

Editorial but experience takes time to accumulate.

First-years particularly have little or no experience with alcohol, and current policies force students to drink in secrecy or find alcohol at parties off of East Campus. A journeyman mentality can develop in firstyear students wherein they drink at the hospitality of others, reducing accountability to their community and making alcohol a kind of forbidden fruit. While we concede that North Carolina law is especially strict with common sources and hard liquor, students are likely to drink more safely and pick up good habits

if Duke adopts more oversight that is less restrictive, like the open-door policy at Stanford and by changes to how Resident Assistants deal with drinking that is neither dangerous nor disruptive.

We hope to see a return to a previous campus culture of acceptable and healthy drinking in residential and appropriate spaces on West and Central campus. On-campus drinking lets students take care of students with appropriate resources nearby, compared to something like the trek back from Shooters. A review of policies for on-campus events involving alcohol might help more campus organizations make the choice to sponsor events at the safest locations for students: right next to where they live.

Ultimately, students need the opportunity to learn the appropriate, and sometimes appropriately absent, link between social engagement and alcohol consumption. We applaud the continuing development of alcohol-free evening programing for first-year students and equally applaud the opening this semester of Devil’s Krafthouse serving a variety of craft beers in the new West Union. We hope its central placement can signal a normalization of acceptable drinking in campus spaces and that all students will leave Duke with the essential skills to navigate the cultural norms presented by alcohol in the way they see fit.

The 2016 presidential race: an environmental lowdown

T

he 2016 presidential election is nearly upon us, and the candidates are ready to fight. Ingenious debate questions have raised a variety of issues, from the abortion of baby Hitler’s fetus (Ben Carson wouldn’t do it, Jeb Bush would) to foreign policy. Amid the conversations on immigration, economics and Hillary’s secret emails, the environment has taken a backseat. As a

is no conspiracy theorist. She believes that global warming exists, and even claims that her climate change plan would spur a 700 percent increase in solar capacity by 2020 and generate enough renewable energy to power every American home within 10 years of taking office. After announcing her opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, she proposed a plan to forge a North American climate

Caeleigh MacNeil GREEN MUSE concerned environmental science major, I protest. Pollution and climate change will effect the Earth’s entire population, and the United States produces the highest per-capita fossil fuel emissions worldwide. That being said, perhaps it would be a good idea to highlight the candidates’ positions on the future livability of our globe.

And(drumrollplease),let’stakealookatDonaldTrump, the Republican frontrunner. In 2013, he sued unsuccessfully to block plans for wind turbines in Scotland that would provide power for 65,000 homes, arguing that they would ruin the view from a golf course he was proposing to build.

He also doesn’t believe in climate change. In November 2012, Trump tweeted that “the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive”—apparently it’s their elaborate plan to make us cap our fossil fuel emissions. This past September, he stated that, “unless somebody can prove something to me, I believe there’s weather”. For Trump, it’s not enough that over 97 percent of actively publishing climate scientists agree that the Earth’s climate is warming.

According to republican runner-up Ted Cruz, climate scientists are “cooking the books. They’re actually adjusting the numbers”. In other words, he thinks that government researchers are reverse engineering data in order to falsify changes in the climate. Cruz claims that the past 18 years have seen no recorded warming, insisting that “the satellite says it ain’t happening”. In 2015, he opposed the Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires corn-based ethanol to be mixed into gasoline, saying that Washington shouldn’t be “picking winners and losers.”

Proponents of ethanol argue that, because oil companies own gas stations, consumers can’t access ethanol, and so it needs the government’s support to break through oil’s domination of the market. In 2013, Cruz refused to protect ocean, coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems by voting no on the Water Resources Development Act of 2013, which would use 12.5 percent of revenues from offshore energy development to fund projects that would restore habitat, manage fisheries, plan for sustainable coastal development and aid ocean research.

Unlike Cruz, democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton

compact with Canada and Mexico. Clinton also plans to build upon Obama’s Clean Power Plan—a collection of new Environmental Protection Agency rules to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Clinton has supported a great deal of environmental legislation—here are some highlights: in 2008 she proposed that five billion dollars be allotted to green-collar jobs in the economic stimulus package, sponsored grants to address beach water pollution under the Clean Water Act and sponsored an inter-state compact for Great Lakes water resources. According to Clinton, “the unprecedented action that President Obama has taken must be protected at all costs.” In other words, she’s ready to pick up where he left off.

Next up, Bernie Sanders. Like Hillary, he supports clean energy tax breaks, rejects Arctic drilling and opposed the Keystone XL pipeline. However, this democratic socialist is the only presidential candidate who opposes hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” —in fact, he wants to ban it outright.

Fracking is a controversial drilling method in which a chemical mixture is injected deep underground to extract oil and natural gas. Evidence has linked this procedure with contaminated water, earthquakes and methane leaks. Water contamination in particular carries a high human health risk for inhabitants of fracked areas. Bernie’s position is a controversial one, however—fracking has been an economic goldmine for the U.S. and has reduced our dependence on foreign oil. On other environmental issues, his track record is very similar to that of Hillary—he’s supported a lot of environmental legislation. According to Sanders, “Climate change is threatening this planet in horrendous ways”.

Regarding other presidential candidates: Jeb Bush and Chris Christie believe that climate change exists but oppose regulations to prevent it, while Ben Carson and Marco Rubio doubt the existence of man-made climate change. Among the highest-polling candidates is seems that the environment is a partisan issue. Personally, I’d rather #FeelTheBern or elect Hillary than see our country in the hands of a climate change denier. So here’s to hope.

The manipulation of the press

Stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive

D

ear Dr. Monday, It seems like every Chronicle article this week has involved a Duke student nearly dying in one way or another, and I’m scared. For now, I’m holed up in Edens until this whole thing blows over—my parents will be pissed if I don’t live long enough to cash in on the $250k they’re dropping. If you have any advice for how to stay safe out there, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks,

on his desktop. Panhel was suspended, “culture change” was called for and an entire campus wondered if their whole weekend would be ruined.

Many students look at L-Mo’s wizened, toothy smile and assume that he’s the sort of cool grandpa who gives you a Hustler when you’re 12 and let’s you drink a six pack even if you’re under-aged (only on LDOC now, son!). In many ways that’s true, but just like Gramps, Larry isn’t above feigning dementia when your parents

YOU’RE WELCOME

HOPE, FOR THE WIN

Hasn’t Been Outside in Six Days Dear Typical Geed, I’d be scared too. A week ago, a team of highly trained local minorities slipped through Duke’s crack security team, which consists of “guy who tells you that you can’t stay in the circle because a bus is coming” and “blue light pole that’s perfect for crimes within arm’s reach of it”, and stole some kid’s wallet at gunpoint.

Luckily, while getting mugged may be scary, there are simple steps to prevent it from happening to you. First, drop out of Pratt—only an enginerd would be out walking alone at 4 a.m., getting some weird sexual pleasure out of measuring the cosine of the Chapel or whatever. If you do find yourself staring down a Thursday night Shooters guest’s gun barrel, calmly explain to them that you understand their lack of access to quality education and the absence of a strong male role model in their life has really given them no choice but to commit this crime. Suggest they Venmo charge you with a gun emoji instead—if they accidentally hit “pay,” you could even wind up ahead! Of course, if they get close to pulling that trigger, remember it’s only due to your white privilege that you’re not the one robbing them and hand it over.

Barely a few days later, some sorority tried its hand at “hazing” and got a girl more wasted than an Asian’s IFC rush fee. Sorostitutes, let’s leave getting drunk with new members to the professionals: men. Hazing the right way is just in our DNA—we design events to suck and include binge drinking, but also to keep kids safe. “Yes, Johnny, you do have to eat this half-pound of cat food, but on the bright side, throwing up should bring your BAC back under .16! Timmy, get your thumb back in his butt—we’re trying to build a brotherhood here!”

To my friends in Panhel, let’s focus on finding the right mix of homoerotic acts, gross food, and alcohol to make it to 1,200 calories a day before we start getting our new friends in on the fun.

Unlike a student getting mugged because of a complete failure of campus security, a sorority girl getting drunk spelled CRISIS like only “fits media stereotypes of Duke” can.

Almost as soon as the ambulance arrived on the scene, Larry Moneta had “generic-reassurances.doc” open

endorsement meeting with Black Student Alliance (BSA). Their reason: “We cannot in good conscience attend the endorsement meeting because BSA has an unavoidable and irremediable conflict of interest in this Young Trustee election.”

They indicated that, because fellow candidate Jamal Edwards was the organization’s president last academic year and the current executive board members are supporting Edwards on social media, such a meeting would be “no endorsement meeting at all.”

The duo also stated they would refrain from seeking endorsements from organizations in which they have held leadership positions including The Chronicle’s Editorial Board and the Interfraternity Council (IFC).

One can debate the politics of such a statement for quite some time, but if nothing else, this letter is an exercise in political theater, a prime example of how political candidates can manipulate the press to victimize themselves over owning up to their beliefs and record.

Donald Trump in skipping the Republican Debate this past week in Iowa performed a similar maneuver, blaming Fox News, a “taunting,” inappropriate, and not “nice” press release and anchor Megyn Kelly for his boycott of the debate. Make no mistake, missing the debate was a political move that worked greatly in favor of Mr. Trump. He boosted support amongst voters who are attracted to his authoritarian and wild card outsider brand of politics and turned the GOP field on rival Ted Cruz, who spent most of the debate defending attacks from fellow candidates.

Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Rooney seem to be operating from the same campaign playbook as Mr. Trump.

By refusing to meet with this list of respective organizations, these groups, according to The Chronicle’s endorsement policy in past elections, cannot then endorse a candidate in this election. By releasing the statement, the duo appeared to hold the moral high ground ascribing to ethical values far surpassing their opponent and previous Young Trustee candidates who have sought endorsements from organizations they previously led. No process on such a tight-knit campus as ours is perfect or free from bias, but I would hope Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Rooney could trust their peers enough that they would be be given a fair opportunity at earning an endorsement, just as their opponent and past Young Trustee Dr. Monday would like to personally candidates appear to have done.

At worst, this statement is an example of apologize if he offended any vegetarians with the comment about throwing vegeta- identity politics, where they believe that BSA bles. He didn’t mean to take it that far. could not somehow resist the urge to blindly Send your questions to askdoctormonday@ endorse the only candidate of color in the election. At best, the pair has put such little faith gmail.com. want to know who gave you the beer.

Sure, Duke could relax restrictions on parties on campus, making it easier to monitor the inevitable alcohol consumption. But, when CNN comes knocking, you lose a potent sound bite explaining how you have zero tolerance for alcohol. It’s a page taken right from America’s wildly successful War on Drugs: worry about punishment first and resolution of underlying causes later.

As always, the Doctor has the solution to make you feel safe on campus again.

To make sure the administration listens, I’ve made an easy to read list of three demands for them: 1. Hire Donald Trump to build a wall, and make the Durhamites pay for it I have a soft spot for the Donald because he isn’t afraid to speak the very few words that are on his mind. If we fully segregate Durham from Duke, we can make sure the only issues DUPD has to deal with on campus are the hilarious hate crimes.

2. Force administrators to start attending some of our ragers Our administrators went to college too—if we remind them what a good time they can have, they’ll realize the only culture change Duke needs is for their administrators to take a nice bong rip and chillllllllll.

3. Give Dr. Monday a certain soonto-be-vacated basement office You may think this demand is the odd man out—how does giving me more room to work benefit all of you? I’ll answer that question with a question. Who deserves to be able to stretch their legs out and host community-building events: the guy saving your life or a bunch of latino/a/ os/as/x/y/z? After all I’ve done for Duke, I deserve a nice, cinderblockencased office that lets me look out, watch Duke’s postal operations and think up new ways to make Duke great.

To the administration: you have 36 hours from now to answer these demands or else I’ll sit outside the admissions office and throw assorted vegetables at prospective freshmen. If you think that won’t kill your yield, try me.

in their peers and all of these organizations’ ability to be impartial that each of them including The Chronicle’s Independent Editorial Board should not be allowed to make endorsements in the election.

In no other Young Trustee election in the past four years on this campus have organizations who have such conflicts of interest ever shied away from endorsing candidates be they IFC, Blue Devils United,

Engineering Student Government or the Editorial Board, among many others.

Individuals can choose to support a candidate publicly, but endorsement meetings are designed to account for such individual preference either through recusal or editorial requirements to even be published in The Chronicle, both of which focus the endorsement on the merits of the candidates.

If an organization supports a candidate who was once involved in that organization, perhaps that reflects a candidate’s ability to grasp and articulate that organization’s issues better than their opponents rather than the biased individual preferences of executive board members. Such public statements are actually a good thing for student voters because they can indicate which candidates best understand the aspects of campus life students care most about.

It seems clear that the press release is a prime example of political theater on our campus. But the words and perspectives of the candidates also represent a far more troubling and problematic reality than manipulating the narrative.

Mr. Rooney and Mr. Schreiber have the freedom to refuse to meet with BSA, IFC or the Editorial Board, but in making what is ultimately a private decision a public and dramatic one, they must be able to take accountability for what they are doing and openly stating. That’s the cost of campus discourse and debate, of the open campus that students are calling for in letter after letter yet rarely backing up in practice.

It seems in shying away from engaging with communities they seek to acquire support from and in manipulating the process in such a way as to silence the voices of cultural and affinity groups—their own included—from publicly endorsing or commenting on this election, they are stifling free speech and rigorous debate on our campus.

We should acknowledge the real conflicts of interest that exist in an election such as this one, but we should not deny ourselves an opportunity to authentically discuss and engage with the diversity of ideas and perspectives of this university in the name of racialized rhetoric like “totally Kabuki theater” or a supposed “no semblance of impartiality.”

All that we prove by refusing such opportunities is that perhaps we—and our peers who campaign to serve on the Board of the University—are as afraid of scary ideas and divisive topics that challenge our beliefs as the pundits would have the world believe.

I have to believe that we and, by extension, our campus politics can be better.
