EVP Trask hits woman with car, accused of using racial slur Amrith Ramkumar and Rachel Chason The Chronicle This story is part one in a two-part investigative series. The second part will examine the culture in the Parking and Transportation Services Department and will be published later this week.

A parking attendant has alleged that Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, the University’s primary financial and administrative officer, used a racial slur after hitting her with his car.

The parking attendant, Shelvia Underwood of Raleigh-based McLaurin Parking and Transportation, claims that Trask hit her with with his vehicle Aug. 30, 2014, before a Duke football game against Elon University, and called her a “stupid n*****” as he drove off. Weeks later, Underwood received an apology note signed by Trask after she filed a police report with the Duke University Police Department.

“Dear Ms. Underwood, I very much regret the incident before the Elon football game. I should have been more patient and I apologize,” the signed note reads.

Trask initially told The Chronicle that he categorically denied hitting Underwood with his car and using a racial slur. When presented

by The Chronicle with the apology note, he acknowledged hitting her unintentionally but again denied using the slur.

Both Trask and Underwood have hired attorneys—Dhamian Blue of Blue Stephens and Fellers, Trinity ’00 and Law School ’03, and Donald Huggins of Hairston Lane PA, respectively.

The allegations Underwood said that before the Elon game, she was directing traffic away from Chapel Drive near the traffic circle that

connects Campus Drive, Flowers Drive, Chapel Drive and Wannamaker Drive.

“It was the night of the Elon game, so of course it was busy—everyone wanted to go to the Chapel, and no one could go to the Chapel, according to the rules that have been given,” she said.

After the game had already started, Underwood said Trask approached in his silver Porsche while she was speaking with a pedestrian. Underwood said that in order to help the pedestrian, she stopped Trask. She added that she did not realize who Trask was because she was a contract employee.

As Underwood started to turn around to address Trask, he hit her with his car, she said.

“As I turn back around, I take a step and this car has hit me. My hands are on the hood, then I hit the ground,” Underwood said.

Underwood got off the ground, then said she shouted at Trask, “Really sir, really? You’re in that much of a hurry that you hit me with your car?”

Underwood said she told Trask that the road was closed unless he had a parking pass. Rather than initially showing Underwood a pass, Trask responded by banging on the steering wheel and saying, “This road is not closed” twice, Underwood said. Underwood explained that Trask then held up two parking passes—which she said was “all he needed in the first place” to be allowed to go through.

As Trask drove off, Underwood said he called her a “dumb, dumb stupid n*****.”

Huggins, Underwood’s lawyer, declined to comment.

Trask’s response When initially asked about the incident

by The Chronicle, Trask categorically denied hitting Underwood with his vehicle. After he was presented with a picture of his written apology note via email, however, he explained that he had unintentionally hit Underwood.

Trask wrote in a statement emailed to The Chronicle that witnesses did not overhear him using a racial slur “quite simply because I didn’t say it. It is a complete fabrication.”

The full statement can be viewed here: “As I was driving to the home football game against Elon in August 2014, I was stopped in the traffic circle (between Flowers and Chapel Drives) by a parking attendant I did not recognize, who gruffly said ‘this road is closed.’ I told her I park on the quad, and have every day for almost 20 years. She told me to go park somewhere else. My regular parking pass, which is good in all spaces on campus at all times, was hanging from my rear view mirror.

There was a special all access pass for the Elon game in the corner of the windshield. I pointed to that and thought she was satisfied.

She stepped away, but after I started moving (maybe five feet) she stepped back in front of the car. I slammed on the brakes and her hand ended up on my left fender. I did not intentionally hit her. By then I was extremely frustrated and said ‘how many permits do I need to show you?’ in a somewhat heated

voice. I regret that I lost my patience and that’s what my note of apology was about.

I learned several days later that Ms. Underwood had filed a complaint and claimed I had said something else. Her allegations were separately and independently investigated by the Duke Police and the Office of Institutional Equity, both of whom interviewed all witnesses.

None of them heard me saying what she claimed I said, quite simply because I didn’t say it. It is a complete fabrication.

I had assumed this was resolved more than a year ago until I received a letter last November from a Raleigh attorney threatening to sue me (not clear for what) unless I paid her an unspecified sum. I declined to do so then and do not intend to do so now.”

In an email to President Richard Brodhead Jan. 14, 2016, Renee Adkins, who served as special events director for PTS from 2003 until January 2015, described the allegations against Trask in detail as part of a larger narrative about the culture of “racism, harassment, retaliation and bullying” in PTS. Brodhead reiterated in an email to The Chronicle that police and OIE investigations found no evidence to corroborate the use of a racial slur.

“There is no question that Dr. Trask behaved intemperately on this occasion, and he was right to offer an apology,” Brodhead wrote.

Four-percent undergraduate tuition increase approved by BOT Amrith Ramkumar and Rachel Chason The Chronicle Duke’s 2016-17 tuition will increase 3.8 percent to $49,575.

The University’s Board of Trustees approved the increase Saturday at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club, bringing the total cost of attendance in 2016-17 to $65,703. An identical 3.8 percent increase was approved last year.

President Richard Brodhead also led an extensive discussion about affordability in higher education. Duke is expected to spend $136.3 million of institutional funds on undergraduate financial aid during the current academic year, which concludes June 30, a $36.5 million increase since the 2009-10 academic year. Approximately half of the student body receives financial assistance from the University, with more than 40 percent receiving need-based financial aid.

“We’re always trying to strike a balance between affordability and the rich experience that people want when they come to a school like this, and that takes investment,” Brodhead said after the meeting.“Our policy has always been to mitigate the cost increases with increases in financial aid. The increase in our financial aid budget is always significantly higher than our increase in the tuition.”

Brodhead announced the creation of the new Washington Duke Scholars program for first-generation students last November.

The 2016-17 tuition rates for the graduate and professional schools can be viewed online.

Chronicle File Photo David Rubenstein, Trinity ’70 and chair of the Board of Trustees, said Nobel laureate Paul Modrich is “one of the more modest Nobel Prize winners” he’s ever met.

In other business: Provost Sally Kornbluth and Dr. A. Eugene Washington, chancellor for health affairs and CEO of Duke University Health System, led a conversation about research opportunities. Both Kornbluth and Washington discussed the potential for increased collaboration between Duke’s main and medical campuses in conversations with The Chronicle last August.

Paul Modrich, James B. Duke professor of biochemistry, member of the Duke Cancer Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, met with the Trustees Saturday. Modrich was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last October

with Aziz Sancar of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Tomas Lindahl of the Francis Crick Institute in the U.K. The trio made fundamental discoveries about DNA mismatch repair mechanisms—a critical process in maintaining the integrity of many organisms’ DNA. Brodhead and David Rubenstein, Trinity ‘70 and chair of the Board of Trustees, explained that Modrich was very humble in his meeting with the Trustees, crediting those around him for the Nobel Prize victory. “[He is] one of the more modest Nobel Prize winners I’ve ever met,” Rubenstein said.

The co-chairs on the task force on bias

and hate issues, Linda Burton, dean of social sciences and professor of sociology, and Kelly Brownell, dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy, presented to the Trustees. The task force began its work last month and is expected to complete its report in April.

“What we said at the end of last term was let’s take the proper time to understand these things and figure out what the best actions are,” Brodhead said. “That’s not the same as saying let’s take a lot of time to do nothing.”

The Board approved the construction of a new $8 million softball facility adjacent to Jack Katz field hockey stadium at the corner of Broad St. and Markham Ave. Softball will become Duke’s 27th varsity sport in the 2017-18 academic year, and the team’s stadium is expected to be finished during Summer 2017. Construction is expected to begin in April.

Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, noted that one benefit of the new stadium’s location is that facilities such as training areas can be shared by the field hockey and softball teams. Brodhead added that the field will be used for recreational purposes.

Michael Merson, vice president and vice provost for global affairs, presented plans for future international engagement.

Duke football head coach David Cutcliffe and four Blue Devils—redshirt junior safety DeVon Edwards, redshirt junior defensive tackle A.J. Wolf, redshirt junior guard Tanner Stone and redshirt sophomore quarterback Parker Boehme spoke to the Trustees. The Trustees passed a resolution thanking the team for winning Duke’s first bowl game in 54 years.

ALLEGATIONS from page 1 “Dr. Trask has been an extraordinary servant of this university for over 20 years, and no one who works with him closely would find it believable that he would use such language.”

Witnesses weigh in The Chronicle did not speak to direct witnesses who could fully confirm either Underwood’s story or Trask’s story, but several of Underwood’s co-workers corroborated parts of her account. One co-worker, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation, was stationed near Underwood and recounted what happened when Trask approached Chapel Drive.

“He was going faster than he should have been, and kind of saw me and looked the other way,” the co-worker said. “I had my hand up trying to get him to stop or at least slow down.”

After Underwood stopped Trask, the coworker was still busy with other traffic and could not exactly hear the exchange between the pair, the co-worker explained. The coworker did see what happened as Trask drove away from the scene.

“She was hopping on one foot back out of the way of the front of the vehicle. And then it took off—there was no, ‘Sorry ma’am,’ or anything like that. As soon as she cleared the front of the vehicle, he was gone,” the coworker said.

The co-worker also said that after Trask left the scene, Underwood asked, “Did you hear what he called me?” The co-worker added that there were no parking passes visible on Trask’s car.

Adkins, who worked at Duke for 18 years, explained that in her experience overseeing special event parking, Trask usually did not have his parking passes, and she told

employees to look out for him for that reason.

“Over 99.5 percent of the time, his passes were never in view and he would need to reach down somewhere in his vehicle to retrieve them if he was stopped,” Adkins wrote in an email.

Jazzy Holloway, a family friend of Underwood’s who said she was on her way to the game with her kids walking toward the stadium, said she also saw part of the incident.

After she bent down to tie her son’s shoes, Holloway said she saw Underwood on top of Trask’s car and heard her say, “Really, sir?” after she slid off the car.

In addition to seeing Trask bang on his steering wheel, Holloway said she heard him

use a racial slur.

“I heard him say ‘Stupid n*****,’” Holloway said.

Marian Brown, former lead transit supervisor for PTS and a PTS employee for 23 years, said on the day of the Elon game she was in the command post, where she could hear reports from all employees in the field.

She noted that Sam Veraldi, former director of PTS, was also present in the command post when Underwood reported that Trask hit her on the radio.

“I turned up the mic, and said ‘Um, 10-9, could you repeat that message?’ [Underwood] said it again. When she repeated it, I turned the mic up and was watching everyone go, ‘What!’

Everyone started making calls,” Brown said.

Brown noted that after Underwood reported being hit on the radio, Adkins immediately got on her golf cart and drove to the scene of the incident.

Veraldi did not return multiple requests for comment.

Adkins explained that she placed Underwood near Chapel Drive because she had asked McLaurin for one of its best employees who was capable of handling such a busy area.

Lily Coad | The Chronicle Trask allegedly used a racial slur after hitting a contracted parking attendant, Shelvia Underwood, near the traffic circle in front of Chapel Drive.

ALLEGATIONS from page 3 Blue, reiterates that the situation was fully investigated by OIE and states that Underwood stepped in front of Trask’s moving vehicle.

According to the letter, OIE spoke to Trask’s wife, Julie Trask, in the process of producing its report. Julie Trask declined to comment to The Chronicle. However, The Chronicle spoke to Holloway, who OIE did not interview.

Blue explains in the letter that Underwood said she has been hit by cars before, “which indicates a routine practice of placing herself in harm’s way,” and writes that Julie Trask, who was in the car with Tallman Trask, agreed with Tallman Trask’s version of events.

Ben Reese, vice president for institutional equity, and Cynthia Clinton, director of harassment and discrimination prevention and compliance for OIE, declined to comment.

Before The Chronicle obtained the letter to Huggins that makes reference to the OIE report, administrators did not reference the report in response to multiple requests for information about the incident.

After The Chronicle reviewed the letter and requested a copy of the OIE report Saturday, Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, noted that OIE reports are confidential personnel records and that the University would respond to the request Monday.

‘I wanted a sincere apology’ Underwood and Trask also have different recollections of what happened after he hit her with his car.

Two days after the incident, Underwood said she went to the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center because she was having pain in her arm. She said she was diagnosed with a muscle contusion and possible fractured elbow. Underwood provided a copy of the medical report documenting the hospital visit and diagnosis to The Chronicle.

Although Underwood said she wanted to file a police report with DUPD immediately after the incident, she explained that her immediate supervisor, Meredith McLaurin, told her that she would file a police report on Underwood’s behalf. However, McLaurin told Underwood the next day that Underwood would have to file the report herself, Underwood said. McLaurin declined to comment.

Underwood said that after she went to the hospital, she received a call from DUPD investigator Arthur Holland asking that she call him. She returned the call the next day and requested a police report for the incident.

The two agreed to meet the following day, four days after Trask hit Underwood, and Underwood explained her side of the story during the meeting. Holland told Underwood that she would need to return the next day to sign the report and provide a copy of her hospital medical records. Underwood added that she agreed to do what Holland asked.

Holland did not return a request for comment.

Later that day, Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2014, Underwood said she received a call from Steve McLaurin, the owner of McLaurin Parking

and Transportation.

“When I see Steve is calling, I know something is up—I’ve worked for McLaurin’s for seven years and had never received a call from him,” Underwood said.

McLaurin told Underwood that because she was not seriously injured and Duke was inquiring about how he was going to handle the situation, “‘a sincere apology [from Trask] should cover it,’” Underwood said. Explaining that she was fearful of losing her job if she filed a lawsuit, Underwood said she told McLaurin that if she received a sincere apology, she would not proceed further.

McLaurin said that his company has been contracted by the University for six seasons, with approximately 30 employees working during football season. He also noted that since Underwood received an apology from Trask, he believed the situation was resolved, and did not respond to multiple requests for further comment.

When Underwood returned to meet with Holland the following day, he also asked about the agreement to drop the matter if Trask issued a sincere apology, and Underwood reiterated what she told McLaurin, Underwood said.

When Underwood asked for a copy of the report she had filed, however, DUPD declined to provide it, claiming that it was implementing a new system, she said. Only after Underwood told DUPD that she had talked to a Raleigh Police Department lieutenant who said that they are required to provide a copy of the report to the complainant did DUPD provide the report.

A copy of the report that was provided to Underwood was obtained by The Chronicle and does not include Trask’s name, information about his vehicle or that he hit Underwood. It states that the incident involved Underwood and “concerned behavior.”

When asked about the police report by The Chronicle, DUPD Chief of Police John Dailey noted in an email that the copy provided to Underwood was only the first page of the complete report. He wrote that it is filled out correctly, and because it is not a public record by state code and DUPD is a private agency, DUPD is not required to provide full copies of reports to those who bring complaints. Dailey declined to provide the full report when it was requested by The Chronicle.

Sixteen days later, Sept. 20, 2014, three weeks after the initial incident, Underwood was working again at her usual post before the Duke-Tulane football game when she received the apology she had requested from Trask.

“At the same location, a tall guy comes up behind me and says, ‘Um, I don’t know exactly what happened out here, but whatever, here you go.’ And he hands me a card,” Underwood alleged.

Adkins later identified the man as Vice President for Administration Kyle Cavanaugh.

“Are you kidding me?” Underwood said. “I wanted a sincere apology, and this isn’t even close to it.”

Cavanaugh did not reply to multiple requests for comment about his alleged role in delivering Trask’s note to Underwood.

Since receiving the apology note from Trask, who oversees Cavanaugh and PTS, Underwood has been working to take legal action against Trask.

BLUE DEVILS GET POUNCED AT PITT Pittsburgh dominates Duke in all facets during wire-to-wire victory Jack Dolgin

Alex Serebransky

The Chronicle PITTSBURGH—Playing a team desperate for a resume-building win, the Blue Devils had no answer on the interior Sunday.

Pittsburgh controlled the game from the get-go, dominating the paint and cruising past No. 15 Duke 76-62 Sunday afternoon at the Petersen Events Center. The Panthers outrebounded the Blue Devils 39-20, outscored them 24-6 in the paint and never gave Duke a chance to get back in the game, picking up their first win of the season against a top-25 opponent.

“We could not muster up anything today,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

“They’re big in every way… It’s not like we didn’t expect it. We couldn’t stop it.”

With their NCAA tournament hopes squarely on the bubble, Pittsburgh (20-8, 9-7 in the ACC) jumped out to a 10-0 lead and did not look back. The Panthers led by as many as 13 in the first half after making three of their first four attempts from downtown, then started going to work inside. Big men Jamel Artis and Michael Young combined for 16 points and seven rebounds in the first half, and Pittsburgh ripped down nine offensive rebounds.

Artis finished with a team-high 17 points— one of five Panthers to finish in doublefigures—five rebounds and four assists.

On the other end of the floor, Duke (21-8, 10-6) could not get anything going. The Blue Devils coughed up the ball seven times in the first half—followed by six more turnovers after intermission—and managed just two points in the paint before intermission.

Midway through the half, though, freshman Brandon Ingram began using his length to attack the paint and draw contact, and Duke closed a 13-point deficit to just 3932 at intermission. The swingman finished the half with a team-high 13 points on 4-of9 shooting but had just four after halftime, picking up four second-half fouls. Grayson Allen led the Blue Devils with 22 points for the game, 15 of them in the final 20 minutes.

Whatever momentum Duke took into

the locker room quickly evaporated when the teams returned to the floor. Pittsburgh scored seven of the first eight points of the frame to get the lead back into double-digits, again attacking the basket and commanding the glass. The Panthers secured the half’s first seven rebounds, getting second-chance points and keeping Duke from getting anything started in the paint.

“When we’ve been in close games against really good teams, it’s because we’ve turned our weakness into one our best things, which was rebounding,” Allen said. “Tonight we didn’t do that at all. They killed us on the glass and it showed on the score.”

Just as in the first half, 3-pointers helped Pittsburgh continue to grow the lead, regardless of whether the Blue Devils countered with a 1-3-1 zone, a 2-3 zone or manto-man. The Panthers made eight of their 20 attempts from long range, and though Duke tried to stay in the contest with 11 triples of

their own, they could not clean up the glass on their 21 long-range misses.

Duke’s best opportunity to claw its way back into the game arrived with 10:56 left.

Junior guard Matt Jones started things with a triple, and after the Panthers responded with a bucket, the Blue Devils continued to rally with two Allen free throws and a Luke Kennard 3-pointer from the corner, closing the deficit to just 10.

But Duke got no closer. The Panthers responded with a 16-3 run thanks to three 3-pointers by Ryan Luther, James Robinson and Artis, and the lead ballooned to as many as 23 points before the Blue Devils made the final score slightly more respectable. Playing the final home game of his career, Robinson— the NCAA career leader in assist-to-turnover ratio—handed out seven helpers to go with his 14 points The Blue Devil guards did not step up on the glass Sunday, unlike their efforts against Florida State and Louisville. Center Marshall Plumlee was often surrounded by three Panthers as he went up to compete for rebounds, and grabbed just four boards—still the team-high.

“We just didn’t battle in the low post,” Ingram said. “Some of our guys didn’t have the rebounds they have normally. For myself, I didn’t have the rebounds I have normally.”

The Panthers swung the ball around the court quickly, leading to 20 assists on 28 made field goals. By contrast, Duke’s offense relied on individuals driving into the lane to create shots, and the Blue Devils recorded just 10 assists. Pittsburgh used active hands to swipe the ball away from Allen and freshman point guard Derryck Thornton as they tried to penetrate, and the duo combined for seven of the 13 Duke turnovers.

“We just needed to move the ball around more,” Allen said. “I still think when we move the ball around, we got good stuff. I think on offense we got caught standing a lot.”

The Blue Devils will look to bounce back at home Tuesday night against Wake Forest.

PITTSBURGH—After playing so many games with so few players, the Blue Devils appeared to finally succumb to fatigue Sunday.

Duke was outmanned, outmuscled and outhustled in its 76-62 loss to Pittsburgh— the team’s largest defeat of the season. The Panthers, motivated by their Senior Day and their fight to push themselves onto the right side of the NCAA tournament bubble, brought all they had against the Blue Devils, commanding sizable advantages in most statistical categories that led to a 23-point lead late in the second half.

“We weren’t ready to do it tonight,” sophomore guard Grayson Allen said. “I don’t think we came out ready to rebound or fight at all. We’ve been doing it in recent games and that’s why we’ve been successful.... Tonight we didn’t do that at all.”

Although the Blue Devils’ lethargy was evident in several aspects of the game, Pittsburgh made sure it showed up crystalclear on the glass.

Pittsburgh entered Sunday’s game with the best rebounding margin in the conference, and that margin only widened after 40 minutes against Duke.

The Panthers outrebounded the Blue Devils by 19 and limited their guests to just seven offensive rebounds. On the other end, Pittsburgh gathered 16 offensive rebounds and made Duke pay for permitting them extra opportunities, scoring 19 second-chance points.

No Blue Devil had more than four rebounds, and at one point, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski trotted out a small-ball lineup featuring freshman Brandon Ingram as the undersized “center.” Regardless of whether it was Ingram, Marshall Plumlee or Chase Jeter in that role, there was no stopping Jamel Artis, Michael Young and Chris Jones from grabbing rebound after rebound.

“We just weren’t ready to fight,” junior guard Matt Jones said. “Rebounding is [about] effort. It doesn’t matter how much size you have, it was effort. We didn’t give that effort today and they did.”

Beyond rebounding, the Panthers were simply more aggressive on both ends of the floor, while Duke looked timid.

Pittsburgh was the first to most loose balls, and the Blue Devils were less careful with the ball than usual, committing 13 turnovers compared to the mere five they surrendered against Florida State on Thursday.

Duke’s usual zip on offense also seemed a step or two slow. The Blue Devils managed just 10 assists for the game—Pittsburgh had 20— and made just eight field goals in the second half, tied with their Feb. 20 loss at Louisville for the fewest made in a half this season.

“They were really hungry and today we were not,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Look, I love my team but I didn’t love the way we competed today.”

Defensively, Duke just could not deal with the Panthers’ bigs, and as a result, Pittsburgh owned the paint, outscoring the Blue Devils 24-6 in paint points.

Blue Devils blow out Tar Heels to sweep series Career-highs for Greenwell and Chidom powered Duke to a lopsided victory Mitchell Gladstone

Duke puts all the pieces together with 25 assists

The Chronicle

Hank Tucker CHAPEL HILL—For the first 27 days of February, the Blue Devils had seemingly found every possible way to put their NCAA tournament hopes on life support. With five losses in the past seven games entering Sunday afternoon, Duke traveled down Tobacco Road to visit North Carolina, needing to make a statement.

Forty minutes later, the Blue Devils sent as loud a message as they have all season, keeping their postseason chances alive in dominant fashion.

Redshirt sophomore Rebecca Greenwell scored a career-high 27 points as Duke closed out the regular season with a wire-to-wire 93-57 win against the Tar Heels at Carmichael Arena. The Blue Devils outscored North Carolina 30-8 in the second quarter to open up a 31-point halftime lead, spoiling Senior Day for the Tar Heels and sweeping the home-andhome Tobacco Road series for the second straight year.

“Our team is trending [up] at a very good time,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “This team is doing everything right in terms of taking care of business [and they] made quite a statement today.”

The Blue Devils (19-11, 8-8 in the ACC) came out hot early, making 10 of their first 16 shots en route to a 23-14 lead at the end of the first quarter. Greenwell’s seven points in the game’s first 10 minutes set the tone for Duke, offering a sign of what was to come. The sharpshooter finished the day 10-of-17 from the field, including a 4-of-7 mark from downtown.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by freshman Kyra Lambert then sparked a 22-4 second-quarter run that put the game out of North Carolina’s reach before the two sides headed into the locker room at halftime. Duke finished with 53 first-half points—the most the Blue Devils have scored in any half this season, and more than or just as many as their 40-minute totals in four ACC losses this season.

“We’ve taken every game as a learning experience and we’ve learned from every game,”

The Chronicle

Carolyn Chang | The Chronicle Junior Oderah Chidom set a new career-high Sunday with 20 points, helping the Blue Devils outscore the Tar Heels 54-10 in the paint and outrebound North Carolina 51-33.

Lambert said. “We’re just trying to get better and work on what Duke basketball does.”

The second half brought more of the offensive onslaught that kept North Carolina (14-17, 4-12) in the same 20-plus point hole from the middle of the second quarter onward.

With Greenwell and Lambert hitting 3-pointers on the perimeter, junior Oderah Chidom and Amber Henson went to work inside, combining for 28 points and 19 rebounds. Chidom’s 20 points set a new career-high.

“Oderah is just a fox out there, because she’s slightly built, but she uses her body exceptionally well in terms of positioning,” McCallie said. “She’s able to kind of roll off the defense to create offensive opportunities. She rebounded well. I love that the guards found her. We got the ball inside-out, we got the ball to her, giving her chances. She was very efficient [and] she had an excellent game.”

Duke outscored the Tar Heels 54-10 in the paint, crashing the offensive and defensive glass at will. The Blue Devils collected 17 offensive rebounds and won the battle on

the boards, 51-33, excelling in an area that McCallie has stressed all season.

“Rebounding was definitely key, especially for this game,” Greenwell said. “We knew that that was going to determine the outcome of the game, so I think we really just took it to heart, and it showed. Everyone was really attacking the [offensive] boards and we wanted five people on the [defensive] boards every possession, and I think we just did a really good job of that.”

Greenwell grabbed 10 rebounds to go with her 27 points, highlighting a team effort on both ends of the floor. The Blue Devils finished with 25 assists and only 10 turnovers, and held the Tar Heels to just 28.8 percent shooting. Seven different Duke players registered a basket in the rout as the Blue Devils shot 52.1 percent from the field—their second-best mark in ACC play this season.

The 36-point margin was the largest Duke road win in the long history of the Tobacco Road rivalry, surpassing a 93-71 victory back on January 22, 1999. “[Winning] is a good feeling for sure, but we just want to carry this feeling,” Greenwell said. “It’s a good preview of what we can do and we just want to carry this into the ACC tournament.”

Georgia Tech defeated Wake Forest in Atlanta Sunday, meaning the Blue Devils will receive the No. 8 seed in this week’s ACC tournament in Greensboro, N.C. Duke will begin postseason play against Virginia Thursday at 2 p.m.

“At this point, it doesn’t matter who you’re playing—it’s basically Opponent A,” McCallie said. “It doesn’t matter who you’re playing—what matters is how your team’s playing and how we’re playing. We’ve got to get some rest from this, get some practice in and head to Greensboro.”

The Blue Devils defeated the Cavaliers 67-52 in Durham Feb. 4 in their first game without sophomore Azurá Stevens.

Although the 6-foot-6 forward dressed Sunday and went through warm-ups, she missed her seventh straight game with a torn plantar fascia in her left foot.

CHAPEL HILL—Turnovers and miscommunications have plagued an inexperienced Duke team for much of the year, but the Blue Devils finally got on the same page in the last game of the regular season.

Duke dished out a season-high 25 assists and committed just 12 turnovers in a 93-57 rout of rival North Carolina, putting together its most complete performance of the season. Freshman point guard Kyra Lambert matched her career-high of seven helpers with just one giveaway, and junior Oderah Chidom and graduate student Amber Henson each distributed five assists from the post.

“The way we played today, showing that we can get 25 assists—I think that’s our key.

When we’re moving and passing and cutting and getting to the open players, that’s when we play our best,” redshirt sophomore Rebecca Greenwell said. “Everyone was knocking down the shots and we were getting good passes, so we just have to keep going with what’s working.”

Entering the contest, Duke had 399 assists and 550 turnovers this season, and the Blue Devils had not finished with more helpers than giveaways in a game since Jan. 7 against Wake Forest. Everything came together Sunday afternoon, with Duke’s 2.1 assist-to-turnover ratio easily its best mark of the year.

The Blue Devils ended the first half on a 35-10 run and assisted on their last 13 made field goals of the half, beginning with a layup by freshman Angela Salvadores off a dish from sophomore Erin Mathias with 1:04 remaining in the first quarter.

“I’m really excited about that first half of basketball, because it was so clean and it was so team-driven in terms of finding each other,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “Our 17 assists at halftime— that’s just terrific basketball, and that’s something that we can really learn for ball movement and finding each other.”

TRACK AND FIELD

Johonnot, Rohner, Clark capture gold at ACC indoors Ali Wells The Chronicle Four years after capturing gold in the pentathlon of the ACC championships in Boston as a freshman, redshirt senior Karli Johonnot climbed up to the top of the podium at the Reggie Lewis Center again—but this time, not on crutches.

Johonnot won the 2012 conference title with 3,964 points, then turned her attention to the individual high jump. The event prove to be her last for more than a year, as she tore her Achilles tendon on an attempt and was put on crutches for the remainder of the meet, including the awards ceremony for the pentathlon.

The Las Vegas native redshirted the 2013 indoor season, but returned to top form this season, claiming the pentathlon title at the ACC championships with a total of 4,234 points to guide the No. 16 Blue Devil women to a fifth-place finish.

“I’m still in denial. It was really nice to be on the podium and not be on crutches,” Johonnot said. “I’m really grateful for how this season has turned out—to have those PRs and break those boundaries that I’ve been trying for years to do.”

After finishing sixth in the 60-meter hurdles in 8.75 seconds to open Thursday’s five-event contest, Johonnot began to climb up the leaderboard. She missed her goal clearance in her signature high jump, but moved up to fourth overall with a mark of 5 feet, 7 1/4 inches. After a throw of 42 feet, 6 1/4 inches in the shot put and a personalbest leap of 19 feet, 9 3/4 inches in the long jump, Johonnot was in the lead.

With just the 800 meters left to go, Johonnot knew the victory would be hers if she did not allow Melissa-Maree Farrington of Florida State and Tory Kemp of North Carolina to beat her

across the line by more than five or six seconds.

She finished fifth in a season-best time of 2:20.50 to clinch the win.

“I just went for it,” Johonnot said. “It was really cool to run with my teammate Teddi [Maslowski]—she’s my best friend. We were one and two for the first three laps and it was the best feeling because we were running side by side and the whole team was there cheering. It was a great way to win the whole pentathlon.”

Johonnot all but punched her ticket to the NCAA championships March 11-12 with her converted point total of 4,304 for the win at the Tobacco Road Cup Jan. 29. Her mark stands as the eighth-highest score in the country so far this season, and the top 16 athletes will qualify to compete in Hoover, Ala. The Blue Devils secured two more ACC titles Friday. Robert Rohner finished the second day of

the men’s heptathlon with 5,477 points for the victory and Megan Clark outlasted the field in the women’s pole vault for her second consecutive indoor conference gold medal, clearing 14 feet, 10 inches to set a new meet record.

Rohner led the men’s multi-event from the opening 60-meter dash Thursday. The senior recorded the top or second-best mark in four of the seven events to build a sizable lead heading into the final 1,000 meters against all but one competitor—teammate Tanner Johnson.

Johnson trailed Rohner by 61 points as the pair of Blue Devils took to the track for the final event and could have stolen the win with a dominant performance. But Rohner bested the field with a time of 2:43.21, and Johnson took second in 2:43.62 for a total of 5,412 points.

“It was great to see Robert execute such a complete heptathlon—he led wire to wire.

He won the 60 [meter dash] and never looked back,” Duke director of track and field Norm Ogilvie said. “He finished it by winning the 1,000 [meters], which we aren’t accustomed to seeing Robert doing. But he ran it hard because he wanted to win.”

A Duke athlete has now earned a spot on the heptathlon podium every year since 2010, with four ACC titles in the five seasons between 2012 and 2016.

“We have had a really good run with the multi events,” Rohner said. “Both [of us] getting up on the podium was the goal for sure, and being able to do that was special. It’s awesome to have your training partner and one of your best friends up there with you.”

Clark recorded her second-best vault of the season for her victory Friday. The Fort Benning, Ga., native and Miami’s Alysha Newman were the final two athletes left as the bar was raised to 14 feet, 10 inches, much like the scene Feb. 6 at the Armory Invitational, when the pair pushed each other to break their own personal and school records and Clark became the fourth collegiate vaulter in history to clear 15 feet.

Newman knocked down the bar on all three of her attempts at the new height, but Clark clinched the victory with her clearance. The two will meet for a third time on the national stage in Hoover—Newman sits fourth in the national standings and Clark holds the top spot with her conference-record mark of 15 feet, 1 inch.

The Blue Devil women earned a number of other top-five finishes to contribute to their 59-point team total, including a secondplace finish by Anima Banks in the 800 meters, a fourth-place finish by Johonnot in the high jump and a fourth-place finish by the women’s 4-x-400 meter relay squad, which consisted of Banks, Madeline Price, Maddy Kopp and Mackenzie Kerr.

The men’s squad tallied 26 points to finish 12th.

WOMEN’S LACROSSE

Duke bounces back by doubling up Quakers Cassie Calvert The Chronicle After suffering a humbling loss to Elon Thursday evening, the Blue Devils regrouped with a big win Sunday to get back on track with their first win of the year against a ranked opponent and first victory since Feb. 12.

Behind hat tricks from seniors Kelci Smesko and Maddy Acton, No. 12 Duke doubled up No. 16 PENN 6 Pennsylvania 12-6 at DUKE 12 Koskinen Stadium Sunday afternoon, as the young Blue Devils finally ignited on the attack to claim their first win against a ranked opponent this season. Prolonged scoring droughts plagued Duke in losses to Southern California and the Phoenix, but the Blue Devils scored in bunches against the Quakers, including three goals in less than five minutes to grab the lead for good midway through the first half.

“Today was a big step forward,” Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel said. “We didn’t have any kind of residual hangover from the loss on Thursday…. We played really hard today and

I’m really proud of this group.”

Pennsylvania (1-1) jumped out to a quick 2-1 lead, but the Blue Devils (2-2) were quick to recover. Smesko fired a free position shot to knot the game at two, then set up freshman Ellie Majure for her first career tally with 19:16 left in the first half, giving Duke a 3-2 lead it would never relinquish.

“It’s not unusual for the beginning to be one up [or] one down,” Smesko said. “Having a young offense, we weren’t scared or nervous when we started down. We just came out and executed the plays we were supposed to and I think that was the difference.”

Duke continued to pressure the Pennsylvania defense, closing the half on a 6-2 run to head into the locker room with a 7-4 lead. Five Blue Devils scored in the first half, with Smesko and midfielder Maddy Acton each finding the net twice. Both of Acton’s goals were unassisted, including a shot that the Sudbury, Mass., native slipped past Quaker goalkeeper Britt Brown with one second left before intermission.

Draw controls and turnovers had been a weak point for the young Blue Devil offense early on this season, but Kimel’s squad enjoyed a 9-3 advantage on draws and 10-8 edge on ground balls in the first 30 minutes

Sunday. Despite committing six turnovers of their own, Duke forced the Quakers into seven costly giveaways before halftime.

The second half got off to a slower start, with neither team finding the net until Pennsylvania attacker Iris Williamson cut the Blue Devil lead to 7-5 with 22:21 left for her third goal of the contest and just her fourth of the season. Williamson quickly found the net once again just 65 seconds later to pull her team within a score.

“We put Claire Scarrone on [Williamson].

[Scarrone] is one of our top defensive players,” Kimel said. “Even though [Willliamson] ended up with four goals—it’s a team effort— but I thought Claire herself did a really great job with her. Overall, I think we did a really good job of limiting them.”

Duke goalkeeper Kelsey Duryea picked up a crucial save of another Williamson shot—her fifth stop of the afternoon—to put the ball back in the Blue Devils’ possession and keep the Quakers from building its momentum even further. A few turnovers allowed Pennsylvania to control much of the second period, but the defense—bolstered by Duryea—kept the Quakers scoreless the rest of the way.

FATIGUE from page 6

Pittsburgh played like the more desperate team Sunday, putting Duke back into a race with Notre Dame for the fourth and final double-bye in the upcoming ACC tournament.

When Wake Forest comes to Cameron Indoor Stadium Tuesday night, it may be the Blue Devils playing with a chip on their shoulder, needing to lock up that coveted extra day of rest—for no other reason than to keep them from repeating Sunday’s worn-out performance early in the conference tournament.

Point guard James Robinson was crucial to Pittsburgh’s success on offense, as the senior—who finished with 14 points and seven assists—was able to beat his man off the dribble and consistently open up good looks for his forwards near the basket.

The Panthers were locked in on both ends of the floor, holding the Blue Devils to just 37.5 percent shooting. Offensively, head coach Jamie Dixon’s squad shot 50 percent from the floor, with five players ending up in double-figures.

Duke may have played poorly, but that should not take away from an incredible Pittsburgh performance. The Panthers led from start to finish, and never let the Blue Devils get close.

“Their defense was outstanding, and their pursuit of the ball was even better,” Krzyzewski said. “We did not play our butts off today—the team we played against did.”

During Duke’s five-game winning streak, the Blue Devils always seemed to be the tougher team, making the necessary hustle plays to piece together wins against some of the best teams in the ACC. But Sunday’s loss was a reminder that without senior Amile Jefferson in the lineup, the Blue Devils will be undersized in many of the games they play, and maximum effort from all five players on the floor is needed to compensate for his absence.

“There were games earlier in the season where the other team played harder than us,” Allen said. “Tonight, we never really got out of it and they just put it on us for 40 minutes and we never really responded. All the hustle stats, they got. Loose balls, rebounds—they sudoku_522B were all theirs.”

W. LACROSSE from page 8 On the other end, Acton capitalized on a ground ball pick-up by Scarrone to record another a goal, and extended the Duke lead to two with just more than 10 minutes remaining with her fourth score of the game.

“When our defense makes a great stand, that gives us energy to go forward and execute on attack. And when we score great goals, the defense is behind us cheering us on,” Acton said. “That’s something that’s really important and crucial to our team chemistry this year—the support between offense and attack units.”

The Blue Devils scored five unanswered goals to create breathing room after Williamson’s pair of tallies. Attacker Hayley Shaffer added two tallies and sophomore Kyra Harney and Smesko each posted another goal. Smesko’s final strike with 4:54 brought the senior’s goal total to a team-high 15.

The Blue Devils will have the week off from game competition before heading to Thompson Field to face Virginia Tech—their first ACC foe—Saturday in Blacksburg, Va., at 1 p.m.

Greenwell drew the defense in with a drive late in the first quarter and passed to Lambert for her first made triple since Feb. 1, and the Cibolo, Texas, native knocked down two more 3-pointers in the second quarter to break the game open after the Tar Heels helped on Mathias and Chidom under the basket.

“When we move the ball, we go through the post—it doesn’t mean the post has to score every time—if we go through the post and move the ball, we become very dangerous,” McCallie said. “Everyone just took advantage of what was there without trying to force something to be there, and that’s the big difference—reading the defense and working together.”

All seven of the Blue Devils’ 3-pointers came off assists, and Lambert’s 14 points marked the second-highest scoring output of her career.

Lambert was the primary facilitator at point guard, firing perfect strikes in transition down the floor to Chidom and Mathias and helping the Blue Devils to a 14-2 advantage in fast break points.

Chidom was the biggest beneficiary of the improved passing, finishing with a careerhigh 20 points. The 6-foot-4 forward ran the floor well and got in position for layups when Lambert or Salvadores penetrated or executed high-low sets with Henson in Duke’s half-court offense.

Lambert put an exclamation point on the clean performance with 8:16 remaining in the contest, receiving a pass from Salvadores and immediately whipping the ball behind her back to Greenwell, who could not finish the layup through contact but set a new careerhigh on her ensuing trip to the line. “[I was] just being aggressive and trying to find my teammates and get my teammates going,” Lambert said. “They knocked down shots.”

With Lambert creating opportunities for her teammates, the other Blue Devils returned the favor for her. Several players touched the ball on most possessions, passing too quickly for North Carolina’s defense to rotate, and Duke got several open 3-pointers on kick-outs from drives

T

omorrow and Wednesday, students will elect the next president and executive vice president of Duke Student Government, along with the next chairperson of the Student Organization Funding Committee. Per what we have written on several past occasions, it is our hope that the results of this election will reflect a student body that wants DSG to work through student voices, prioritize projects instead of launching in a million different directions and make students feel like they are being heard on campus.

President Based on her truly refreshing campaign rhetoric and bottom-up approach to student government, we offer our fullest endorsement to Annie Adair for DSG president on her platform of strong reform. Adair cares about listening to students in a way no recent candidate has and further has pointedly committed herself to reforming DSG to be more proactive and more intentional with student interests. Adair went above and beyond in her appointed role as Chief of Staff to gain the experiences and knowledge to lead DSG’s many parts. She further promises to leverage DSG’s influence to get more students talking to administration and to give DSG a big picture vision beyond those projects. Adair is the leader for the entire campus who promises best to change how student government exists on campus.

We feel Tara Bansal continues an unfortunate trend

among DSG candidates to present an over-extended platform. Though she boasts an impressive resume of her own projects, we are concerned that certain items like the new curriculum’s Duke Experience class featured in her platform are more accurately products of much longer-term and team-based efforts spearheaded by faculty and administrators. Her vision is well-articulated, but her attention seems more directed to putting DSG leaders at the table with the provost and administrators than students themselves. John Guarco presented a well-

Editorial developed platform of specific campus issues including improvements to student conduct but ultimately failed to impress without a broader vision for students.

Executive Vice President Both candidates shared the opinion that DSG needs to address internal dissent from senators and VPs with respect to the Senate’s culture and structure, and we eagerly endorse Ilana Weisman. Her understanding of the choice between top-down direction and bottomup motivation for DSG’s work resonated with us. Her work as VP of Equity and Outreach has given her the institutional knowledge to stay abreast of a range of campus issues, making her the best bet for reminding

DSG of its “raison d’ètre”. We applaud John Turanchik’s vision of focusing DSG on bigger issues and especially liked his idea to mitigate institutional turnover by transitioning long-term projects over the years, but we ultimately felt Ilana had more passion to put behind commanding the Senate’s respect and keeping student government close to its mission.

SOFC Chair The two candidates for SOFC chair communicated similar platforms of transparency through better communication with students and improved public relations efforts. Ultimately we endorse Alexa Soren for SOFC chair after careful consideration of what separates the two very qualified candidates. Soren’s most compelling qualities were her plans for changing how DSG and the SOFC communicate and her understanding of how SOFC can shape our social culture through new groups and improvements the existing auditing system. Gwen Geng did well to focus on being accessible to students in face-to-face interactions and will hopefully be able to implement her proposed vice chair for student affairs no matter the election result.

Grant Besner recused himself from the presidential endorsement for participating in a previous endorsement.

Michael Gulcicek recused himself from the EVP endorsement due to his role in DSG.

ear Dr. Monday, When I came to Duke just a couple of years ago, I thought I’d have enough money to pay my way through, even though I was just over the cutoff for financial aid. I get that a Duke education is valuable, but I’m having a tough time thinking about how much debt I’m going to be if tuition keeps rising like this. Can you use your infinite sway with the admins to do something?

Thanks!

Upper Middle Class Dear “Upper Middle Class,”

my side, ready to take a bullet for me. I shouldn’t be worried about being woken up to the sweet lullaby of construction at 2 a.m., but rather whether the maid remembered that chocolate chips hurt my sensitive stomach, and that she should only leave sugar cookies on my pillow before bedtime. At least let me feel the prestige associated with dropping that much dough, perhaps with an embossed, hand-framed piece of paper stating that I am an elite member of society and deserve to be treated as such.

This article isn’t meant as a substitute for Bernie Sanders’ Viagra prescription; you have to feel for the little guy here, and that little guy is Duke. For

Monday Monday YOU’RE WELCOME Probably the only thing on Duke’s campus for which there is universal hatred, besides anyone who thinks Grayson should have been suspended (can you fault the guy for trying to stretch his calves a little at the end of a long basketball game? We’ve only got 5 guys, man!), is a rise in tuition. Over the past ten years, tuition has risen at a rate that outpaces inflation, median household income and offense taken to party themes, and has more than doubled since 1999.

I have a theory that these tuition rises aren’t about making sure Duke stays solvent, or even satisfying President Brodhead’s weird construction fetish (we know you don’t need a crane that big to make a three-story building). As a board member it just seems natural to tell students you’re sorry, pick 3.8 percent to keep away from those big round numbers as advised by Dan Ariely and hit the greens. This time around, though, Dr. Monday, C.P.A., has decided Duke needs a quick audit before we just throw a 4 percent raise their way.

The number-one defense for a high cost of tuition at Duke is financial aid—namely, that the financial aid budget over the past 7 years has increased at a faster rate than tuition. While this is true, the old “So how much can ya give me?” approach feels less like paying for an education at the eighth-best school in the country and more like buying protection from a guy named Gino who owns a chain of Italian delis in Long Island. Can I really afford not to pay? Why are all of Gino’s friends in the construction business? Is he seriously building a water reclamation pond with my money?

My beef is that I’m not seeing the benefits in critical areas for Duke: academics, housing, security. For 67 grand a year, I should be able to walk down Main Street in Durham with $500 in cash taped to me, and Dicky B should be right at

some students, their Duke education will be worth millions, and they can easily afford to pay whatever you ask. But what do you do about the money pit departments, where your faculty demands “unions” and “salaries”? What do you do when students in your moneymaker departments realize that their 8:30 a.m. being taught by a professor fresh off Rosetta Stone is really being taught to them by Bill Gates’ greatest gift to Duke, PowerPoint? Students are unhappy with Duke for charging them more, and Duke can’t exist without doing so—so what do we do?

The answer, of course, is to reinvent the Duke corporation as a whole. As long as there has been capitalism, organizations have had to adapt to changing market circumstances or die. The cautionary examples are many—Blockbuster with the movie rental business, Borders with online book sales, the list goes on and on.

So we shut down all this academic nonsense, and focus on a business model Duke already shines at: consulting. Rather than waste all this time and money maintaining our own school brand, we use our resources to teach the lower schools (I can think of one just a few miles away) how to actually hold classes and become a true brand—think of how good the company basketball team would be!

The best part? The entire workforce would be 100 percent free, disguised as Duke’s newest summer internship program. With that, we can get away from this whole discussion of “financial aid” and accelerate our students towards what they’re really here for: making money.

Dr. Monday would like to remind his readers who say “Well, tuition increases can’t go on much longer than this” that Donald Trump looks to be the Republican party’s nominee for President.

The perils of populism

n this election cycle, there has been a resurgence of populism, a political ideology that emphasizes the needs of the general public above those of the elite, on both the right and the left. Two presidential candidates in particular, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, have embraced populism and achieved extraordinary success, astounding political observers and the establishment wings of their respective parties. While it can be tempting for non-populists to dismiss such

and created an imbalance of political power between the many and a few powerful elites.

The solutions to these problems proposed by Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump differ radically, of course. Sanders, for instance, proposes an agenda that directly targets inequality of wealth and power through redistribution and campaign finance reform. Trump, on the other hand, advocates economic nationalism and immigration restrictions to raise

HOPE, FOR THE WIN

movements as ephemeral and extremist factions that ought to be purged from mainstream politics, populism is rooted in legitimate concerns, as demonstrated by a brief survey of the causes of populist politics in the Roman Republic and the modern United States. In order to avoid the excesses of populism, moderates across the political spectrum must work to rectify these concerns and ensure our system of governance works for all citizens, not just a few.

In the Roman Republic during the second century B.C.E., a handful of wealthy elites owned the majority of arable land in Italy, which they cultivated with slave labor. The common people of Italy, who had subsisted upon this land until it was conquered and settled by the Romans, were consequently left impoverished. As a result of this extreme inequality, there was also an imbalance of political power between patricians and the plebeians. Tiberius Gracchus was elected tribune of the plebes in 133 B.C.E. and proposed renewing a limit on the amount of property individuals could own and redistributing land among the plebeians. His brother, Gaius, who became tribune in 123 B.C.E. after the assassination of Tiberius, favored even more radical reforms such as expanding citizenship and limiting the amount of land each citizen could own to 500 acres. Both the Gracchi brothers were highly esteemed by the populace for their egalitarian reforms, and each was reelected to a second and unconstitutional term as tribune, frightening and angering the Roman elites.

Americans today are turning to populism for reasons similar to those of the common people of Italy who embraced the Gracchi brothers. They are deeply discontented with extreme disparities in wealth, stagnant wages and a dysfunctional political system, all of which are legitimate concerns.

There is vast inequality in wealth in the United States today, with the wealthiest 10 percent of American households earning 28 percent of all income and possessing 76 percent of all wealth. Furthermore, while workers are more productive and corporations are more profitable than ever before in the United States, worker pay has remained stagnant. Since the 1970s, corporate profits as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) have risen by 0.8 percent, while wages as a percentage of GDP have decreased by 0.1 percent—both drastic changes.

Along with these economic challenges, average Americans feel politically disempowered in the wake of Supreme Court decisions like Citizens United v.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) that have gutted campaign finance laws

the wages of working and middle class Americans. Both have recognized the problems troubling the public, however, and their success is an indictment of the failure of the political establishment to deal effectively with these difficulties.

Populism is often associated with demagoguery and authoritarianism, and to a certain extent this negative reputation is well-deserved. The motivations of the Gracchi brothers, for instance, have been portrayed as far from purely altruistic, and their methods were hardly scrupulous. Both desired personal glory, which drove them to seek ever-greater power, even through unlawful means. Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus’ use of mob violence to achieve their goals eventually resulted in their deaths and ushered in a new and terrifying period in the political history of Rome, in which political violence was normalized.

In Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the negative aspects of populism are especially conspicuous.

The real estate mogul attributes the social, economic and national security problems facing our nation to the Other in society, whether immigrants, Muslims or people of color. His derogatory remarks and prejudicial policy proposals appeal to the basest instincts of voters and have incited violence at his rallies and hate crimes across the nation. While Bernie Sanders’ campaign has remained focused upon solving the economic and political problems facing the U.S. rather than demonizing groups of people, it also exhibits a common failing of populism, specifically, a simplistic worldview and unrealizable promises. In his fervor to reform the way the economy works, Senator Sanders is susceptible to overstating the problem—his declaration that “Wall Street’s business model is fraud” comes to mind—and proposing ill-conceived policy plans that would be unfeasible and detrimental to economic growth.

If populism is prone to lead to dangerous extremes, the conditions that precipitate this sort of politics must be prevented or ameliorated. As we see in both the Roman Republic and the United States today, common people turn to populist politicians and policies when they no longer have faith in the political system. The success of these politicians should provide a message to moderate elected officials to stand up to extremist elements in the constituencies, renounce hyper-partisanship, and work together to institute pragmatic reforms that maintain a democratic and just economic and political system.

election. After hours of debate on restructuring the composition and makeup of DSG Senate, we could not settle on a single plan. Procedural issues, conflicts of interest involving a variety of people in the room, and the dual vices of ego and the necessity to get to Perkins to do homework abounded.

The constitutional amendment is a simple one—allowing DSG Senate to complete reform of the size, makeup of elected vs. non-elected senators, and committees that compose the Senate without mandating a vote of approval by the entire student body – but the implications of such a change are far too unethical and troubling to not warrant public comment.

The proposed changes reek of a level of elitism and a lack of responsibility that has plagued DSG for years. Beyond the issue at hand, such a mentality undermines our capacity to be the kind of leaders we aspire to become.

Having been involved in DSG for my entire Duke career in a variety of positions, but primarily in the Senate, I will be the first to tell you that sometimes we can’t get out of our own way when it comes to procedure. In this case, we’re trying to fix our inability to reform ourselves by removing any form of student oversight over the process to reduce our responsibility in doing so in accordance with election season. In some respects, such internal changes truly mean nothing for the average student, but any changes to the structure of DSG’s senate have significant ramifications for the budgeting and control of the nearly $1 million student activities budget paid for each year by every single Duke student.

The one actual power DSG possesses is the budgeting and allocation of these funds to student organizations, and it is something that consumes the bulk of most Senate meetings. On principle, students should have a voice over how their money is allocated to events and programs throughout campus. If we remove the one check said students have to the organization tasked with spending that money, then how do students have any power over the way DSG distributes student activities fees, let alone in advocating and working for students with the administration?

This argument may seem trivial, but I recognize how small decisions made in the moment by a DSG Senate barely paying attention to the matter at hand can have vast ramifications for student organizations.

When we spend thousands on parties and large programs in the fall but then run out of funds toward the end of the year to fully pay for a small organization’s guest speaker, it matters how DSG is structured.

When someone in DSG is unfamiliar with an organization and its funding request or a group has not been properly educated about the nature of SOFC funds, it matters how DSG is structured.

When it comes down to spending versus continuing to sit on a nearly $200,000 surplus account built by years of inaction, it matters how DSG is structured.

On the whole, I fundamentally believe we at DSG are responsive to student needs, spend money wisely and fairly and provide for vibrant and diverse programming options on campus. There are moments, though, when we clearly do not, and ultimately we have to be responsible to our constituents in the student body when these moments happen. In moments such as these, when we fail to do our own jobs within the system of checks and balances that has been created, we need to be held accountable.

Another failed Senate reform does not give us as student representatives the license to change the rules of the game in the hopes that one day we might get our act together and restructure.

Students should not give us a free pass on Tuesday when we have one nearly every other day of the year in meetings with administrations and while deciding on funding allocations.

Extending the discussion beyond this single vote in DSG, I have become increasingly troubled by the tenor of campus leadership. Increasingly within DSG, people have worked to box collaboration out of projects and initiatives for the purpose of claiming sole credit of an accomplishment. While this practice makes for great consulting resumes and presidential campaigns, they also hinder these positive efforts to improve the student experience and make campus a more equitable place.

Being able to recognize the impact amplifier of having peers on board and active on a project is one that requires the humility to realize that the best outcome is not always the one that you can reach alone. Every student has the capacity to do great things at this University, and regardless of whether or not they are in DSG or the right classes or leadership positions they can contribute and exhibit leadership to achieve an outcome whether a policy change or a new project or initiative.

My message to DSG, to the candidates running for office this week and to student leaders throughout campus today is a simple one.

Cultivate the leadership of others and have the humility to recognize that collaboration and responsibility go hand-in-hand with each other. We have the responsibility to do the best we can for our organizations and for the people whom we will entrust when we graduate, to set an example for how one should act in practice when it comes time to make an important decision.

Abdicating responsibility in favor of what is expedient should not and cannot be the standard we set.
