ONE HUNDRED AND TWELFTH YEAR, ISSUE 51

Duke flocks to RDU to protest Trump’s immigration order Bre Bradham The Chronicle Hundreds of protestors flooded the outside of Terminal 2 at Raleigh-Durham International Airport Sunday afternoon to protest President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration.

At least ten cities nationwide have seen airport protests since Trump signed the executive order Friday, with protestors gathering from Los Angeles to New York. The order halted immigration to the United States from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, although federal court judges have issued orders temporarily stopping deportations pending further litigation.

At its largest point, the crowd at RDU stretched a majority of the length of the airport’s Terminal 2. The protest remained peaceful, although police did have to disperse the crowd when it grew too large.

There was not a specific group responsible See IMMIGRATION on Page 4

Bre Bradham | The Chronicle An estimated 1,000 people converged on the Raleigh-Durham International Airport Sunday to rally against Trump’s executive order.

Kennard nails game-winner to cap 10-point rally Hank Tucker The Chronicle

Jack White | The Chronicle Luke Kennard went 10-of-10 from the field in the second half, including 5-of-5 from long range, to lead his team back from a double-digit hole.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—With Duke’s season on the line in the last four minutes, Luke Kennard completed an individual performance for the ages to bring the energy the team has been seeking for the last month.

Kennard curled off a screen on the wing and hit a game-winning triple with 6.6 seconds left to lift the No. 17 Blue Devils to a 85-83 victory and silence a sellout crowd at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum for its first road win of the year. The sophomore guard scored 30 second-half points, shooting 10-of-10 from the field and 5-of-5 from beyond the arc after the break.

“Luke’s a competitor. He wants to win, and when you want to win badly enough

and you’re desperate enough, then you do things that are spectacular,” senior Matt Jones said. “Luke was spectacular and guys just followed his lead.”

Things looked grim for Duke (16-5, 4-4 in the ACC) with 4:01 remaining, when Bryant Crawford sank two free throws to stake the Demon Deacons to an 81-71 lead. But Kennard made a 3-pointer on the Blue Devils’ next possession, and after an offensive foul on Wake Forest forward John Collins, Kennard hit a tough mid-range jumper off an offensive rebound to quickly cut Wake Forest’s lead in half.

Keyshawn Woods appeared to stop the bleeding for the Demon Deacons (128, 3-6) with a deep pull-up jumper for their last points of the game with 2:11 left, but Kennard came right back with a second-chance 3-pointer, and a triple from See M. BASKETBALL on Page 12

Religion professor caught up in executive order confusion correct and revise its position. And protests are effective.

I’m in the city of Berlin where it was famous for its wall. The mayor of Berlin sent a message to President Trump, saying, “please don’t build that wall.” It’s not good to hear that, for example, the governments of Germany and others said we will accept these people, and the president of the United States is saying we won’t accept them. It’s not good for refugees to America. Many Americans, in my understanding, do not agree with this approach. Almost all Americans are immigrants, so how can we say that we as old immigrants prevent the new immigrants? I think it’s meaningless. I’m so optimistic that they will correct that.

Adam Beyer The Chronicle Mohsen Kadivar—a research professor of religious studies originally from Iran and now a United States permanent resident—was in Berlin, Germany for a fellowship when news broke of President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigration of foreign nationals from seven countries, Iran included. Kadivar spoke to The Chronicle about the confusion surrounding the order and his reaction to protests stateside.

The Chronicle: Could you describe the situation that’s going on there and what you’re doing in Germany?

Mohsen Kadivar: The situation changes every hour, every moment... I heard about it on Friday, and also I had negotiations with the people of [the Institute of Advanced Study in Berlin] about it, but at that time, it was not signed. I slept, and when I was up, President Trump had signed it. The signature had happened while I was sleeping! So when I saw it, it was midnight in the U.S. I sent my email after a few hours in the early morning on Saturday in the U.S., and we started the exchange of emails.

I emailed the chair of my department [David Morgan] at Duke asking, “What should I do?” In the beginning he said, “I do not know. This is something new for us too.” We exchanged a lot of emails, and he contacted the provost and many people at Duke. After five or six hours, he said, “It’s better for you to stay because the situation is not stable, every moment is changing and there is no guarantee for your returning at the airport, so maybe the future is better.” [The fellowship] will end in July, so I hope in that time everything is okay, and I can return to my office at Duke.

TC: When you originally heard about the order, did you decide you wanted to come back?

MK: No, I did not. In the beginning, in the first moment, I did not know what I should do… I was thinking that my situation is okay if I can return in July. The major concern is the time of returning. But Duke told me frankly, “we will support you.” In my class, we talk a lot about American values, so the time for testing is in practice. I love the U.S. Constitution,

but I think the executive forces of the new president do not fit with the American values.

But I’m optimistic that public opinion will push the president to go in a direction to correct it.

TC: Before you left, did anyone express concern about the situation and how the new administration might affect your travel plans?

MK: At that time, no one knew this.

Something new happened about three days, four days ago. It was completely new. I, myself, did not know anything and also the others did not know. In the first moment, it was something like shock, because we can’t know what’s happening. Because when we have green cards, that means you are permanent residents of the United States, that the government monitors our records very closely, so I think it’s also against American law. I remember that I heard that it will go to the court. The federal judge, I saw in the news, stopped temporarily the executive order. I think on Monday we will hear something more. It’s good—this is a democratic country.

TC: Do you intend to stay in Berlin for the immediate future if the situation settles down?

MK: Good question. No, every decision from me will be made with negotiation with Duke officials. If it’s better for me to travel as soon as possible, I will do that. Any decision from me will be made after negotiation with Duke officials.

TC: So you’re essentially doing whatever Duke tells you to do?

MK: Yes, it’s the better decision, because When something goes wrong, the NGOs and human right organizations will try and stop they need my security and they support me, this wrong decision. so I do not want to make any decision without their permission. So I will get permission for TC: Do you have any friends or associates returning or staying, because I’m a member of who are affected by the order as well, or Duke. I do not decide myself alone. family?

MK: It affects my family too. My wife TC: Once this situation ends and reaches planned to join me very soon, so [that was] some stability, is that going to affect how the first thing I asked my colleagues at you think about international travel and Duke. After that I told her, “please cancel international collaboration, as an academic? the flight,” because it’s not safe to leave MK: It’s a stop. It just stops all our travels, the U.S. It means I will be alone here, and all our conferences. At the first [opportunity] my family is in U.S. I have some American after the negotiations with Duke, I will return friends here, and I don’t know if they are to U.S. After that, I will not travel out of the American citizens or American residents U.S. because there is no guarantee for me to or something else.

Vaccine research programs may soon be getting a booster shot Nathan Luzum The Chronicle Thanks to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, Duke’s vaccine programs have the potential to receive a funding boost in the future.

The CEPI—a public-private coalition aiming to facilitate vaccine development— recently raised $460 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as well as the Japanese, German and Norwegian governments. The coalition will use this funding to finance the development of vaccines for three deadly emerging infectious diseases—Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, Lassa fever and Nipah virus.

“Our aim is to take part in the clinical trial of MERS and Nipah vaccines at Duke-NUS,” wrote Linfa Wang, director of the emerging diseases program at Duke-NUS, in an email.

“It’s too early to tell whether we will be successful in getting funding from CEPI, but we will do our best.”

The Duke Human Vaccine Institute has not yet decided whether to apply for a grant from CEPI, explained Thomas Denny, chief operating officer of the Duke Human Vaccine Institute.

“We try to stay abreast of any entity that’s out there providing funding to support the types of things that we do, and we try to then decide whether we can be competitive,” Denny said.

“We’ll look at it and see where it’s relevant, and if we think we can mount a competitive response, I’m sure we’ll try it.”

Past research The DHVI was formed in 1990 as an interdisciplinary effort to combat HIV and

the disease’s startling ability to rapidly mutate.

Although a significant portion of the DHVI is still devoted to research on HIV and AIDS, it has transitioned to focus on a broader range of pathogens.

One of the more notable projects involves replacing the annual influenza vaccine with a vaccine that would not have to be administered yearly.

“It’s a challenge to get society vaccinated every year, and if you could develop a vaccine that would give you a broad coverage over multiple years, then it makes vaccine coverage rates more effective than where we are today,” Denny said.

Denny went on to note that the DHVI also funded research on cytomegalovirus and Zika.

The vaccine program at Duke-NUS, however, concentrates on emerging diseases because of their relevance to Singapore.

“The Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) Programme was included as one of the five core Signature Research Programmes (SRP) in response to many of the global EID outbreaks,” Wang wrote.

Wang noted that the EID program’s initial objective to study dengue virus has been met with considerable success. Three clinical trials involving Duke-NUS researchers are already in the works, with more soon to follow.

Gregory Gray, professor of medicine and researcher in the program, explained that his lab studied animal-borne diseases. These include avian flu, swine flu and MERS. “Some of the emerging pathogens have tremendous explosive potential to cause tremendous morbidity and mortality, economic loss, etc.,” Gray said, pointing to the widespread effects of the Ebola and Zika epidemics.

He emphasized that it is crucial to be able to respond quickly to these unpredictable

emerging infectious disease threats.

Funding vaccine development The DHVI’s mission to to be prepared to respond to society’s threats, Denny explained.

“The challenge, though, is whether you have the money to focus on all those new threats,” he said.

He noted that a difficult aspect of conducting research on newly emerging diseases is obtaining the funding with enough speed to begin investigation into possible vaccines.

“When Zika hit us 18 months ago, we didn’t have a pot of money that was just sitting there that you could divert to doing some Zika work,” Denny said.

In such cases, the DHVI must wait for the

National Institutes of Health or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to obtain congressional funding to develop a vaccine.

Denny added that even after the NIH or CDC receives the funding, labs must apply for grants, which then have to be reviewed before the money is finally allocated.

Currently, the DHVI is mostly funded by the NIH and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

“One of the challenges is that you can’t do everything. You try to lead in the area where you have faculty that are strong, and you go where you can get funding,” Denny said.

Denny also explained why the DHVI has chosen to focus more on priority pathogens as See VACCINE on Page 4

An Open Letter to the Duke Community: The new Duke Faculty Union has the opportunity to help set higher education on a path to fairness and equity at this significant moment in its history. As part-time and full-time contingent faculty, we formed our union with the support of many constituencies at Duke— students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, workers and administration—and hope for their continued support as we move forward in our bargaining process.

Contingent faculty are critical to providing the nuts and bolts as well as the creative edge of a liberal education at Duke. For the sake of every student we teach, we are committed to creating and protecting the following: • Clear and fair standards of compensation; • Job security, clear career paths, and opportunities for professional development; and • Transparency and shared governance on issues that affect teaching and learning at Duke.

Our ultimate goal is an institution that fosters individual excellence while normalizing working conditions for a crucial component of the teaching force: contingent faculty. As committed teachers and scholars, we are invested in Duke and expect Duke to invest in us. Please join us in improving the situation of contingent faculty at Duke—and by doing so, become part of a beneficial change in this country’s higher education system more generally.

for organizing the event, but organizer Amanda Weissman said that the American Civil Liberties Union and other human rights organizations were present.

“We’re protesting the ‘Muslim-ban’ in seven countries, deportation, [the immigration laws] that Trump is trying to put into place,” she said.

The airport issued a permit for a protest from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Weissman explained. According to a release on their website, RDU also set aside special parking for protestors at a discounted rate at the General Aviation terminal. Buses could be seen bringing the crowds in throughout the event.

By 12:45 p.m., a small group had already begun to gather, restricted to the end of terminal by a police car and, slightly later on, a yellow-tape police line. The crowd continued to grow, with more protestors coming by bus throughout the protest. Officials moved the police car and line back when the crowd grew too large to be confined to the original area.

Throughout the protest, the scene was dotted with signs such as “hug me, I’m Sudanese” and “y’all means all.” Melody Moezzi, an activist and writer, held a sign that read “this proud Iranian-American Muslim will not hide or shut up! I will resist!” Protestors started various cheers, from “this is what democracy looks like” to “no hate, no fear—refugees are welcome here.” As the crowd grew, different chants could be heard from either end of the large crowd.

Police stood at the doors to the inside of the terminal, preventing protestors from entering the main building.

Traffic was diverted from the upper deck of the terminal occupied by the protestors to the lower level, although one lane remained clear on the upper deck for the busses carrying protestors to get through.

By about 3 p.m., the protest spanned nearly the entire length of Terminal 2, with a heavier police presence. The police began to tell the individuals at the front line that it was time to disperse, and an effort was made to back the crowd up.

By 3:30 p.m., an airport officer said that there had been no arrests made. Thirty minutes later, the police were dispersing the last of the crowd. An officer, carrying a handful of zip-ties, informed protestors that it was their “last warning” as the crowd was hesitant to leave.

Even while the police were escorting protestors out the area, some members of the crowd helped ease the dispersal.

Julia Sherifi, a refugee and protestor, used a microphone from a police car to encourage her fellow protestors to leave after their permit was revoked.

Not everyone at RDU on Sunday came for the protests.

One Raleigh couple had just landed at the airport following a flight from Philadelphia. However, they—along with their luggage—quickly joined the crowd.

A number of Duke students were present, including first-year Maya Iskandarani.

“There’s a chance that this policy will keep me from returning to Lebanon to see my family members,” she said. “While Lebanon is not currently on the list of countries from which international travelers cannot enter the United States, there’s a chance that it might be. That’s why I’m here.”

Fellow first-year Ivan Robles cited the executive order’s “unconstitutionality” as one of his reasons for protesting.

“The United States is a country of immigrants,” he said. “We are based on our diversity. We are created with our diversity. What Trump and his administration are doing is just wrong, and we as a people need to work to strike that down.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Allen shows maturity after pushing incident Jack Dolgin The Chronicle WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—If Saturday is any indication, Duke is Luke Kennard’s team.

The sophomore lit up the stat sheet with a game-winning 3-pointer, a perfect 6-of-6 shooting day from beyond the arc and 30 second-half points to carry the No. 17 Blue Devils back from a 10-point deficit in the last four minutes and win their first road game of the season.

But in his own way, junior Grayson Allen has found his niche as well. And it’s not as the superstar, even if that was his role last year.

The preseason favorite for National Player of the Year has drawn more attention—much more—for his tripping of Elon’s Steven Santa Ana and tussles with opponents than his play this year. For the season, he is only shooting 39.2 percent from the field and 32.8 percent from beyond the arc.

So after getting booed every time he touched the ball during the game, shoved into

the Duke bench after chasing an offensive rebound and seeing his younger teammate hit the biggest shot of his career, what did Grayson Allen do?

He hugged Kennard. He was the first one to do so. And even in the locker room after the 85-83 win, as the media swarmed Kennard, Allen could not stop grinning.

“We had a lot of good shots and a lot of open shots, especially with Luke,” the secondteam All-American said. “He’d been hot and we knew if we got the ball to him, he was going to knock it down.”

Allen was a contributor, too, with 19 points on 5-of-11 shooting from downtown. But on a team with so many potential threats, he has had a new role this year.

On Kennard’s 3-pointer, Allen was the number two option.

“It wasn’t like we were looking for a three.

But that’s where the ball was going [to Luke],” Capel said. “We had been running the play where we had been getting the down screens, and it worked, and we felt that they probably would know that. So we faked the down

screen. We told Luke to fake it and come across the baseline, and we felt that he would be open on a curl or something.”

Allen at times has been arguably his own worst enemy, drawing the ire of the nation for his aggressiveness and creating a distraction for his teammates during the season. But Saturday, he also may have brought the team together when he drew a technical foul on Brandon Childress.

Off his own 3-point miss from the right wing, and after being booed vigorously by the home crowd during his free throws the previous possession, Allen hustled to the corner of the court for the rebound. Allen grabbed Wake Forest guard Bryant Crawford, was whistled for a loose ball foul near the Duke bench and got pushed down by Childress, who was not involved in the play, as several Blue Devils and Demon Deacons crowded around the two players.

“I don’t know who did it, but I was just standing over there trying to mind my own business and got pushed into the stands,” Allen said.

See ALLEN on Page 12

Asked if he considers himself a target, Allen added, “I think that’s a question to ask him, I don’t know. I don’t really mind it either way. If they are trying to do it, I guess we’ll just shoot more free throws.”

After the ensuing Crawford free throws, Duke went on a 15-4 run to close the game.

That run might not have been so large if Allen had not contributed to the cause.

Down four with 55 seconds left, the Blue Devils ran another beautiful play using down screens that spread out the Demon Deacon defense and left Allen wide open on the left wing for a 3-point attempt.

The junior sank it, quieting the crowd, cutting the deficit to one and energizing the Duke bench and contingent of visiting fans attending Wake Forest’s first sold-out contest since 2009.

“That was a game changer,” Kennard said.

“Grayson had so much poise.”

Brown stays hot as Blue Devils roll past Wake Riley Pfaff The Chronicle Coming off an emotional loss at No. 8 Notre Dame Thursday, one wondered how the Blue Devils and star guard Lexie Brown would respond after the physical contest.

But with its junior star still firing on all cylinders, Duke WAKE 43 was razor-sharp 71 from the start of DUKE Sunday’s game.

The No. 14 Blue Devils rebounded from the tight 62-58 loss with a resounding 71-43 win against Wake Forest at Cameron Indoor Stadium in their first home game in 10 days. Brown led the way by notching her fourth straight game with at least 20 points, finishing with a stress-free 28, including several buckets during a 21-2 surge in the second quarter that put away the Demon Deacons and ended their three-game winning streak.

Three of Brown’s teammates also scored in double figures.

“I’m just really happy, except for the first four minutes or so, it was a good 36 minutes for us to play together as a team,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said.

“We had the ball a lot today. We were able to control and make passes so that’s the nature of things right now. We’re heading into February so I think we need to cut loose a little more offensively in terms of

how we attack the basket.”

McCallie’s team returned to a welcoming home crowd for just the third time in their last eight games, a stretch in which it has gone 5-3 against some of the best teams in the ACC. After today’s win, the Blue Devils now sit inside the top four spots in the ACC with the hardest part of their conference schedule behind them.

Duke (18-4, 6-3 in the ACC) got off to a slow start offensively, struggling to finish in the paint and committing five turnovers in the first quarter alone. However, the defense stepped up and stifled the Demon Deacons, helping Duke close the period on a 9-2 run. The pivotal quarter was the second period, in which the Blue Devils outscored Wake Forest (13-8, 4-4) 21-7 to essentially put the game away early by building a 37-20 lead.

Brown and redshirt junior Rebecca Greenwell came alive in the second quarter to help key a 15-1 run to give the home team some separation. Brown torched the Demon Deacons for 16 points in the first half alone, including a coast-to-coast layup at the second-quarter buzzer to extend Duke’s lead to 17 at the break.

SWIMMING AND DIVING

Men and women end losing streaks vs. UNC Winston Lindqwister The Chronicle CHAPEL HILL—In their final dual meet of the season, the Blue Devil men looked to break a losing streak that dates back to 1939 and the women hoped to seize their first-ever win against North Carolina.

Thanks to strong performances across the board, Duke can celebrate the end of its dualmeet season after making history.

The Blue Devils managed to win decisive victories against the Tar Heels Saturday afternoon at North Carolina’s Koury Natatorium. Duke’s No. 22 women’s team defeated North Carolina 163-137 led by consistent performances throughout the meet.

The men’s team wasn’t far behind, pushing past the Tar Heels with a 173-126 ledger.

“We couldn’t be more proud. Four years ago when we recruited these seniors we talked about being a team that could contend in the ACC and beat the likes of UNC,” Blue Devil head coach Dan Colella said. “We couldn’t be more excited, especially for our seniors, to finish out their dual meet career with a win against UNC.” Continuing a suite of top-tier performances, the Duke diving team turned heads yet again in Chapel Hill.

Although the Tar Heels took first- and second-place finishes in women’s 1-meter diving, the men’s team came up with a slew of dominant performances. Sophomore Evan Moretti topped the field with the second-

highest Duke score ever at 380.85, followed by a tie between Blue Devil freshman Nathaniel Hernandez and North Carolina’s Jack Nyquist at 353.63 points—the seventh-highest score in program history.

On the 3-meter board, Duke’s women found better footing. Senior Kirby Quinn came just 10 points behind North Carolina’s top diver Elissa Dawson with a season-best mark of 327.75. The men’s team again topped the 3-meter, with Hernandez taking first at 399.30 points and Moretti not far behind at 386.78.

“Today was a lot of fun,” Blue Devil head

diving coach Nunzio Esposto said. “The work that we’ve done for the divers—the drills, the work that we do on their takeoffs, all of those things we do for their technique really showed themselves today.”

On the other side of the pool, Duke took an early lead and never looked back sparked by dominance in the relays.

In the opening women’s 200-yard medley relay, the Blue Devils’ A team of sophomore Maddie Hess, senior Ashleigh Shanley, freshman Alyssa Marsh and senior Maddie Rusch broke out for a fast win for Duke.

A monster breaststroke split of 28.35 from

Shanley propelled her team to a first-place time of 1:39.62, almost two seconds ahead of the Tar Heels’ top quartet.

On the men’s side, the Blue Devil A quartet of senior Kaz Takabayashi, senior Peter Kropp, senior Michael Miller and sophomore Yusuke Legard came out just ahead of the B team of sophomore Max St. George, senior Michael Seaberg, senior Dylan Payne and freshman Miles Williams by less than half a second as Duke took the top two spots.

The 400-yard freestyle relays came down to much more dramatic finishes. The women’s A team of Hess, Rusch, sophomore Hunter Aitchison and Marsh started out consistently behind North Carolina.

However, a stunning finish from Marsh shot the Blue Devils forward in the final 50 yards, securing a relay win by less than half a second. The men’s A team overcame a similar deficit in its relay, as the quartet of sophomore Sean Tate, Miller, Williams and Legard turned things around. After trailing in the first 300 yards, Legard saved the race with a 44.30 split to secure a win.

Duke also showed off its depth in individual events. Junior Verity Abel showed her distance prowess in posting a season-best first-place finish of 9:56.56 in the 1,000-yard freestyle. She also excelled in the 500-yard freestyle, notching a first-place win four seconds ahead of teammate senior Brittany Friese in second.

Junior Leah Goldman won the 200-yard freestyle for the women’s team, but the Tar See SWIMMING on Page 9

Heels showed why they had beaten the Blue Devil men more than 70 straight times, with Jorden Merrilees giving the home team some momentum. But in response, St. George topped the men’s 100-yard backstroke, pulling well ahead of his closest Tar Heel competition by almost a full second.

Duke kept the momentum going into the 100-yard breaststroke, as Payne and Shanley won their respective men’s and women’s events.

Miller overcame an early deficit in the 200yard butterfly to shoot past Tar Heel Matthew Conway in the last 25-yard stretch, pulling out a tight victory to help the men pull away.

Seaberg and Legard sprinted past North Carolina in the 50-yard freestyle. Legard would continue his streak of freestyle victories in the 100-yard freestyle event, taking first just 0.02 seconds ahead of Williams as the Blue Devils swept the top two places. St. George continued to increase the point gap by notching an easy win in the 200-yard backstroke at 1:46.65—two seconds ahead of second place.

After a North Carolina three-event win streak, Duke’s women’s team managed to flip the momentum in the 200-yard individual medley, with Goldman posting an impressive 2:01.63 finish thanks to an early butterfly split of 26.44.

The Blue Devils got contributions from many different parts of their roster, and now enter the home stretch of the season with just the Janis Hope Dowd Nike Cup—a threeday event in Durham and Chapel Hill—and postseason competition left.

“This is a good indicator for what’s to come in the coming weeks,” Colella said. “We’ve got the Nike cup, then the women’s ACC, then the men’s ACC. Everybody’s definitely looking forward to it.”

figures. Odom posted her second career double-double, finishing with 10 points and 11 rebounds, including six boards on offensive end. “[Odom] is so capable and can do so many things. I’m proud of her for her double-double and her aggression,” McCallie said. “She is just getting better and better. She has seen everything at this point and is settling in and doing great things.”

Wake Forest struggled mightily against Duke’s matchup zone defense, committing 12 turnovers in the first half alone that led to 19 points for the Blue Devils. Besides an early 3-pointer with 7:25 remaining in the second quarter from sophomore forward Elisa Penna, the Demon Deacons went scoreless from the field in the period and made just 6-of-25 field goals in the first half.

Of their six field goals, just two were from inside the 3-point line as Duke’s length frustrated another opponent.

In the second half, Wake Forest’s offense continued to go nowhere against the Blue Devils, whose pressure defense never relented. Several Blue Devils notched multiple steals, including Brown, who added three thefts to another dynamic offensive performance.

Duke has not allowed a team to score 65 points in six straight games.

“Like Coach P. always preaches, it starts on the defensive end,” Brown said. “We had to just ramp up the defensive energy, and defense always leads to offense, so I think that’s how our offense started to get going.”

The Blue Devils will stay at home to host Clemson Thursday before going back on the road at Virginia next Sunday.

The Chronicle

A demagogue’s border policy

L

ast Friday, President Donald Trump announced an executive order to overhaul our nation’s immigration system.

Included within Trump’s order is a “temporary” ban on all immigration from Syria and a number of predominantly Muslim countries, as well as impediments that prevent green card-holding American residents abroad in those countries from coming back to America. Trump’s order is part of his wider executive plan to mitigate the threats of radical Islamist terrorism; while that goal is respectable enough, the first step he has taken to achieve it is reprehensible and un-American.

Trump’s declaration was sickeningly anachronistic, parallel to some of the shameful acts of American history like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which was designed to prevent immigration from “racially inferior stocks.” It seems as if he has tried to perform a foreign policy surgery with the equivalent of a blunt sledgehammer, inanely attempting to solve a problem with a tool that does not belong anywhere near the operating room. His ukase has caused immediate pain. Hundreds of green card holders across the world have suddenly been banned from returning home to America. The victims—doctors,

children, students and even a Duke professor—are innocent, their only crime a badly timed plane trip.

And they, of course, are not the only ones hurt.

Immigrants from Turkey and Syria who just a week ago might have been guaranteed safe legal passage to America have been told that they are no longer welcome in the country: that America’s shining beacon only shines for a select group of people who happen to look like Mr. Trump and that this land is no longer a home for the tired, the poor and the

Editorial huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Public reaction to Trump’s executive order has been rightfully and overwhelmingly negative.

To protest, people have crowded airports across the country in support of refugees and foreign residents detained indefinitely by the mandate.

Meanwhile, teams of lawyers have rushed a number of lawsuits into federal court, where judges have quickly issued stays against parts of the immigration ban. Financial support for organizations like the ACLU has skyrocketed, as

citizens have reached to support those fighting to keep an open America alive. Even at Duke, the administration has voiced support for a public statement urging a quick end to the policy.

As a leading global research university, we ought to take an assertive stance to protect the many international members of the Duke community from potential federal action. The University of Michigan recently announced in reaction to Trump’s order that it would not release the immigration status of its students to the federal government; Duke likewise has announced similar measures. But we can go further: actions on the part of the administration, such as maintaining summer housing for international students and declaring Duke a sanctuary campus, emphasize the university’s commitment to providing a safe environment for its students during a politically unstable time.

Institutional resistance, however, must be led by individual action. If you, in the slightest, care that the due process of fellow Americans was just violated, do your part to protect them and stand against demagogues who would seek to infringe upon their rights. That might mean speaking, writing or marching. Whatever it is, take action.

Beyond marches, along divides “W

economic divide along racial lines cannot be erased by an infinite amount of “intersectional feminism” posters. White women were not showing up in these numbers for the countless Black Lives Matter protests in response to police brutality and systemic racism over the years. The cries for intersectionality, in other words, underestimate the reality of their words.

Another disconcerting aspect of the march was seen with the disrespect offered to speakers of color. While celebrities spoke at the beginning, women of color speaking on Islamophobia and human trafficking were overpowered by a “Let’s march!” chants erupting from this roughly homogenous crowd. In the words of Paper Magazine’s Nadya Agrawal, “There was no respect for the seasoned activists of color. These people were here to march, not to learn.”

Many of the women in attendance need to learn to show up and show out, even when the issue at hand is not directly related to their direct interests. While we can acknowledge the importance of defending immigrants and Muslims alike in a new Trump administration, active rallying can prove disillusioning.

e who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.”

Angela Davis shared these words of Ella Baker to the crowd of over 500,000 people in attendance at the Women’s March on Washington. There, librarians who had driven 16 hours would share space with rosy-cheeked local high school students, both dawning bright pink hats in the refreshingly cold D.C. air.

Symbolic and grassroots organizing are the backbone of all conveyance of public opinion in the U.S. For the typical citizen, the only way to get your voice heard is by inspiring one another to challenge authority, and to evoke a spirit of resiliency that—as much as one can relegate to mere feelings on posters waved in a large echo chamber— demonstrates a commitment for the long-haul.

Fifty-four years prior to the Women’s March, another gathering brought together hundreds of thousands for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The event culminated in Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and many note the movement’s influence over the passage of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. Such a demonstration of the influence of symbolic politics on hearts and minds, and the importance of engaging citizens in activist work, has left an impression on a new generation

seeking guidance in its pursuit of social justice.

Sadly, some lessons went unlearned. Organizers of the Women’s March were beyond a doubt aware of the perils of “white feminism,” and intersectionality was a recurring theme throughout the day. However, many women were able to overlook the dangers of a single voice to feminism as they were enveloped in resounding cries for reproductive rights—cries that proved alienating to many.

One of the most unforgettable photographs from the march was taken by Kevin Banatte of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). In it, three white women, all wearing pink knit hats, are consumed by their phones as a black woman named Angela Peoples stands in front and holds a sign reading, “Don’t forget: White Women Voted for Trump.”

These words are no alternative fact: 53 percent of white women voters chose Trump, and 94 percent of black women voters chose Clinton. And sure, while the women protesting by-in-large did not support President Trump, the sign is a reminder of the deep divide between women of color and white women.

Standing at the crossroad of Third Street and Independence Avenue, surrounded by a swarm of pink hat-dawning women, one could not help but to recognize the heavily white demographical composition of the protestors. Earlier, not long after 9 a.m. at the Starbucks stand in Union Station, while mostly white women lined up for coffee ahead of a half-day of walking, I observed an all-people-of-color staff hard at work for the day.

These realities of a society plagued by socio-

courageous, awe-inspiring black Americans who have been long-erased from dominating historical narratives. As the shortest month recurs, the words, “Follow women of color,” are as pertinent as ever.

The Women’s March on Washington, in all its complexity, may represent a mere footnote in U.S. history books in years to come should efforts to hold leaders accountable disintegrate. On the other hand, the march could represent the trigger for a movement—transcending the clout of a single presidential administration—that redesigns American ideals. Historically-informed and unified, rather than divided, lines delineate the progress to come.

As the speeches concluded and the crowd began to cascade down the streets of my home city, we were invited to hold hands with our neighbors—representing the unstoppable, unbreakable linkage of a united people willing to fight for one another. The smiles throughout the animated crowd were palpable enough to leave any unapologetically marginalized individual feeling “upon a hill.”

For me, clutching an older woman from Idaho’s hand, the nascent movement proved energizing. Despite the March’s flaws, I am hopeful that through trial and error, an indestructible concerted group that will not lay down until all are recognized will emerge. However, hope is met with equal concern. Failure to follow through on professed commitments to intersectionality threatens to erase any progress that could be made. In the meantime, the revolution begins with open minds and steadfast drive.

The villains

he big story of the week has communities across the nation appalled by the actions of one man, continuing a trend of perceived bad behavior. This man, who has been the recipient of a public and unapologetic bashing by major news networks for the past 13 months, has found himself in the spotlight yet again, as he’s reaffirmed his villain status in the eyes of anyone not actively in his camp. And yet, he wore the villain’s metaphorical black hat with pride as his rogue mentality and high-wire antics once again won the day for his fans, his cause and even himself.

Yes, of course. I’m talking about Grayson Allen...and that other guy (but more about him later). For now, it’s another “Grayson Allen incident,” this one more embellished than all the rest.

The Duke basketball player—a 21-yearold, gifted, versatile, confident, aggressive, white showman from Jacksonville, Fla.—has been subject to more controversy by ESPN and other media outlets than any college basketball player in recent memory. Never

Jackson Prince

So when the media bashes Grayson Allen for tripping, they are not just criticizing him; they’re going after Duke students—both those who match the notorious perception, as well as Duke students who don’t fit in that one-dimensional mold.

And when the media bashes Donald Trump for signing an executive order banning the entrance of refugees and visa-holders from Muslim countries into the United States, they are not just criticizing him; they’re going after everyone he represents. But the protesters still yell “No Trump.”

It is irresponsible to solely blame Donald Trump for anything he’s done thus far as President of the United States. By the standards of his constituents, he’s been quite successful, doing exactly what he was elected to do. He promised a border wall, an end to Obamacare, the defunding of pro-choice organizations and an extreme vetting of Muslims and refugees. In his first 10 days in office, he’s made significant progress toward accomplishing each of these measures. It’s seductive to pronounce

TRUMP AND I

the source of any off-the-court scandal or serious locker-room problems, Allen has been derided, shamed and even threatened by sports journalists, the college basketball community and the ever-present Duke basketball anti’s for his in-game errors of judgment, and the reputation that now shadows him.

With each televised, Tweeted or recorded report of Allen’s tendency to trip an opposing player came a desire to delve deeper into the psychology of such behaviors. And with that came a series of irresponsible assumptions about the young man’s character. Like all good villains, Allen gave a highly-visible, low-hanging target to the media and to fans eager to vent their frustration with “dirty play”—or, more likely, with Duke.

Of course it’s unfair. Allen’s tendency to trip an opposing player is no worse than the various other kinds of dirty play that exist in college basketball. Just because a trip is less common than an after-the-whistle shove, a kick-out after a shot, a hard flagrant foul from behind or even the lowering of a shoulder, that doesn’t make it inherently more evil. To pretend that tripping is any greater sin that of those other behaviors is to convince oneself that the ubiquity of these headlines has nothing to do with Duke as a basketball program or a school, and is to ignore the root cause of the general obsession with Allen’s villainy: us.

Many Duke students can relate to Grayson Allen. The thousands of gifted, versatile, confident, aggressive, predominately white showmen and showwomen Blue Devils see themselves in Grayson Allen; we love Grayson Allen, and when Grayson Allen is attacked, we are attacked. There’s been a history of skilled and controversial white Duke basketball players, often portrayed in an unfavorable light. And there’s been a history of us defending them.

It’s no coincidence that a Duke basketball player’s dirty play—and not the dirty play of any other college basketball players—is center-stage. Those who root against us, those who demonize our good fortune of having been accepted into an elite, proud and powerful institution and of having been born into families from Long Island, Los Angeles, Greenwich and Boca Raton, hate Grayson Allen because it’s easy to hate Duke. And Duke students.

Line Monitors reveal holistic walk-up line test

T

he Duke basketball Line Monitors announced Sunday that they would be enacting a “holistic application” for those wishing to gain admission to the walk up line for the men’s basketball game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Feb. 9 in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Line Monitors, who had declared this year of Cameron Crazies “unprecedented” in Duke basketball history, had been searching for more comprehensive application for admission to the coveted game.

Tenting policies have already seen a shift this year given the high volume of interest due to the record short tenting season. 840 black tenters gained admission on Jan. 11 via a grueling trivia test to decide who would get to torture themselves and sleep out in the cold for four weeks. Another 360 white tenters gained admission to Krzyzewskiville on Jan. 25 via a “race to the secret spot” for

coach Jeff Capel at Krzyzewski’s private underground war room at his home in Durham. Coach K is reported to have told Line Monitors they should “calm down” and “let the Crazies have fun for once” but the Line Monitors fired back with a mock-up of their walk-up line admissions test (WULAT) that rivals that of the MCAT and GRE. The WULAT, as it’s become colloquially known, is said to require potential admittees to recite the alma mater both backward and forwards, as well is in Portuguese and Mandarin.

It will evaluate each Crazie’s range of motion from fingertip to fingertip when hexing, the decibel they can reach when yelling “You Suck!” or “Let’s go DUKE!” and the lowest octave they can hit when enunciating “Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuke.”

WULAT participants will be required to recite every player’s Instagram bio, Justin

Monday Monday NOT NOT TRUE

Donald Trump as the root cause of many people’s frustrations and fears, to tab him the villain and further empower (and vilify) the Trump “brand” which has dominated newsfeeds around the world.

But with each signature of an executive order, Trump is using his (soon-to-be souvenir) pens to represent the autographs of millions and millions of Americans who care far more about fulfilling his campaign promises than does the man himself.

To merely label Donald Trump the American villain for the next four years is to distract ourselves from addressing the necessary conversation to be had with each other. Just as Grayson Allen is click-bait for easy access to a Duke-bashing party, Donald Trump is protest-bait for liberals.

He’s taken the burden of carrying out vastly unpopular actions on behalf of those who feel disrespected by an increasingly liberal world. And to focus on either one of of these infamous targets of hate, without admitting to the truth of the villainy behind them or in ourselves, is a fool’s errand.

But Allen never asked to be the scapegoat for general Duke hatred.

Trump’s desire to become the headline— and stay there—keeps his constituents comfortable and concealed, clad in a camouflaging whiteness that looks like and acts an awful lot like the way critics portray Duke’s student section.

To attempt to understand Trump’s executive actions—and the people that support them—is the first step toward working to convince fellow Americans that their approach toward making America “great” is not the only way. It may not even be the right way. We all must do some deeper digging into the villains presented by the media.

To call this “Trump’s America” is to take pressure off of those people who influence his every move. It’s clear that President Trump has done his supporters the great favor of redirecting all that negative media coverage and public attention toward himself, this time with a flagrant foul of his own: tripping up the American dream.

Jackson Prince is a Trinity sophomore and editorial page editor of The Chronicle.

His column, “trump and i” runs on alternate Mondays.

a seven-day long tenting period that past tenters and President Richard Brodhead have declared “utter bull****.”

“In all my years as Duke president I’ve never seen a tenting period this short,” the outgoing president noted. “Students these days are so spoiled. I remember in my time at Yale, once I camped out for 9 weeks in the New Haven winter cold to get my hands on a newly annotated copy of Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night.’ There were so many of us in line, the local bookstore had to develop a rules system similar to that of the modern Line Monitors.”

Line Monitors, however, are thrilled about the surge in interest. “We always want to reward the most committed Cameron Crazies for their devotion to Duke basketball, and we think this new application process is the best way to do that,” Monday Monday overheard a particularly chirpy Line Monitor say at a 3:45 a.m. tent check. “We’re really excited about this new review process, which we think will cultivate the most annoying student section for a Carolina game since J.J. Reddick played.”

The Line Monitors have reiterated that walk-up line tenters are not guaranteed a spot in the student section, but they have to sleep outside without a tent for the three days leading up to the game regardless of whether or not they are going to get in. They are hoping that the new evaluation process will weed out those individuals only marginally interested in Duke basketball and will bring them the rowdiest crowd possible.

The actual evaluation process itself is still under wraps, but an anonymous Duke basketball assistant coach who contacted Monday Monday via the House Party video chat app says that the new application will be “grueling.”

“I get it that Duke students refuse to do anything less than 110 percent,” he said under a black cloak, his background eerily similar to that of the Cookout on Hillsborough Road. “I mean, kids start the weekend on Wednesday and turned what should be a casual and fun basketball game into a multi-month ordeal. But this is just too much.”

He reported the Line Monitors had been having secret meetings with head coach Mike Krzyzewski and interim head

Robinson’s entire course schedule (with bonus points being awarded for those who can recite his father, NBA legend David “The Admiral” Robinson’s junior spring course list from the Naval Academy) as well as a rapid-fire round of “Who tweeted that Bible Verse, Luke Kennard or Grayson Allen?” The test will also feature a grueling trivia section that covers everything from Nan Keohane’s dog’s name all the way back to demographic statistics from when Duke was still called Normal College, over a hundred years before its basketball program was even enacted. Some Line Monitors were overheard dropping hints that intermediate level calculus would even be required to solve the “angle of Amile Jefferson’s average missed free throw” equation.

Potential tenters will also need to submit multiple letters of recommendation—one of those generic ones from a professor they probably just inserted their name into noting their “academic excellence” as well as one detailing their experiences as a Duke basketball fan, including the likelihood of if they’ll paint their entire body to look like an d*****bag on national television and scream in the background of any shot Jay Williams is featured in.

The New York Times has already done an expansive demographic survey of the potential tenters, noting that their median ACT score was a 34, their median family income was $186,000 and that less than 1 percent of crazies would ever be able to move out of the income bracket they were born into.

Line Monitors are expecting “record-low admission numbers” for the walk up line towards a 4 percent to 6 percent admission rate and are hoping to use the new test in future years to cultivate the most diverse and craziest classes of Crazies.

“We’re really excited about the incoming class of walk-up line Crazies, and we really think they have a lot of potential to piss off America’s sports commentators.

I’d say it’s our best class yet,” said the small student section babydoll who enjoys being shaken and slapped by particularly maternal female Line Monitors.

M. BASKETBALL from page 1 Grayson Allen made it a one-point game with less than a minute to go.

Another impressive possession set up Kennard’s triple that gave Duke its first lead since the first 10 minutes of the game, and a runner from Crawford glanced off the rim at the buzzer.

“In the timeouts, in all the huddles we had on the court, we said we were going to win this game. And we believed it,” Kennard said. “It was really great to see our guys come together like that.”

The Blue Devils also got two critical offensive rebounds in the last four minutes to extend plays and stopped Wake Forest on its last three possessions of the game, holding an offense that scored 81 points in the first 36 minutes to just two in the last four.

“We didn’t give up straight-line drives,” Duke interim Jack White | The Chronicle head coach Jeff Capel said. “Our talk was better, our Sophomore center Antonio Vrankovic scored for the first time ball-screen defense was better, and we were able to contest shots, and our first shot defense—we were able since Dec. 3 with the Blue Devils decimated by foul trouble.

The Blue Devils came out energized in the second half thanks to hot shooting and a full-court press on defense, trimming an 11-point deficit to one when freshman Frank Jackson converted a fast-break layup with less than 10 minutes remaining. But Collins knocked down a mid-range jumper on the ensuing possession before a 3-pointer by Mitchell Wilbekin put Wake Forest in front by six.

After a triple from the top of the key by Crawford, who finished with 26 points, freshman Jayson Tatum was whistled for an offensive foul to foul out with 6:58 remaining.

Although Matt Jones nailed a corner triple to trim the deficit to five with about six minutes, a defensive breakdown on the Demon Deacons’ next possession resulted in an easy alleyoop for Collins to keep Duke at arm’s length again.

The Demon Deacons attacked the basket at will for much of the night, drawing 30 fouls and shooting 25-of-32 from the line to maintain the lead for more than 30 minutes. But the Blue Devils did not commit a single foul in the last four minutes of the game.

“You’ve just got to adjust to the game,” graduate student Amile Jefferson said. “I thought our guys did a great job of it, continuing to fight and not letting little things get to them.”

Jefferson, Harry Giles and Tatum all had four fouls by the 12:56 mark of the second half, forcing Capel to look to seldom-used sophomore Antonio Vrankovic for meaningful minutes. Vrankovic got the nod down the stretch in favor of five-star freshman Marques Bolden, who started in Monday’s loss against N.C. State but played just three minutes Saturday.

“Antonio Vrankovic came in and really gave us energy, and he was able to do that because he’s had a great week of practice, great attitude,” Capel said. “He came in and and did a really good job.”

Duke will hope to pick up another road win with a quick turnaround Monday night at No. 14 Notre Dame, a week after the loss against the Wolfpack sent the Blue Devils into a few days of turmoil.

“It’s been hell. It’s been so tough, not only physically but mentally,” Jones said. “We always knew we had talent, but we needed a game like today to really believe. We needed to go out there and show it to ourselves.”
