$112.5 million

Uni. settles research misconduct case with payment to feds By Ben Leonard Managing Editor

Duke will pay $112.5 million to the federal government in a settlement for a lawsuit regarding its handling of falsified data that the suit alleged was linked to $200 million in federal research grants. “This is a difficult moment for Duke,” President Vincent Price wrote in an email to the Duke community. “This case demonstrates the devastating impact of research fraud and

reinforces the need for all of us to have a focused commitment on promoting research integrity and accountability.” The lawsuit, filed by former lab analyst Joseph Thomas, alleged Duke used the data to obtain grants and covered up the fraud. The lawsuit came from fraud allegedly committed by former Duke researcher Erin Potts-Kant. A researcher in the pulmonary, allergy and critical care department of Duke Health, Potts-Kant has had more than 12 scientific papers retracted since word broke of the allegedly falsified data.

Potts-Kant admitted to changing parts of the data but said that experiments actually were run. Thomas brought the case under the False Claims Act, which could have forced Duke to fork over as much as $600 million. Thomas alleged Potts-Kant falsified data in research on mice’s lungs. From these data, labs at the University were able to secure additional federal funding, calling roughly $200 million in grants into question. See PAYMENT on Page 3

Supreme Court hears case on NC gerrymandering By Isabelle Doan News Editor

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Three years ago, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling that forced North Carolina to redraw congressional districts to eliminate racial gerrymandering. Now, gerrymandering in North Carolina has made its way back to the Supreme Court. Tuesday morning, the Court heard an oral argument for Rucho v. Common Cause, an appeal of a district court decision last year that struck down North Carolina’s 2016 congressional map for being an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. Paul Clement, lawyer for the North Carolina Republicans, argued that plaintiffs originally had neither legal standing nor justiciable injury. “What they’re complaining of is that they’re grouped in a district with either too many people who agree with them or too few people who agree with them, and, therefore, their vote is sort of diluted in some way,” Clement said. Republican congressional candidates won only 53 percent of the statewide vote in 2016, but won 10 of 13 seats. This happened again in 2018. Clement added that many voters live in districts where they will not have their preferred candidate elected. Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor disagreed that proportional representation was the issue at hand. “All of the tests that they’re proposing and that the district court looked at didn’t talk about proportionate representation,” Sotomayor said. “It looked at only the opportunity to elect. An opportunity is different.” She said that the way the map in question is structured limited opportunity for a party’s supporters to elect their preferred representative. The argument turned to research conducted by one of Duke’s own—Jonathan Mattingly, chair of the department of mathematics. Mattingly and his colleagues developed a method to show whether a congressional map favors one party too much. The appellee’s brief stated that Mattingly “generated over 24,000 alternative [congressional district] maps using traditional nonpartisan criteria. Fewer than 0.7 percent of them resulted in a Republican advantage as lopsided as 10-3.” Clement pointed out that the small percentage is still a substantial number of maps.

Bre Bradham | Contributing Photographer Activists opposing partisan gerrymandering gathered outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. Tuesday morning as Rucho v. Common Cause was argued inside.

“If you run 24,000 maps with partisanship taken out entirely to the legislature. and you just use traditional principles, you get 162 different “Well, that’s making lemonade out of lemons,” Associate maps that produce a 10/3 Republican split,” Clement said. “So, Justice Elena Kagan said. “You can do it 24,000 different ways yeah, it’s 1 percent, it’s .7 percent—I mean .7 percent, just to be and 23,999 produce an outcome that’s less partisan than the clear.

Duke seniors follow their research to Supreme Court By Nathan Luzum Senior Editor

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Two Duke students got to see their research take center stage in the United States Supreme Court Tuesday. Seniors Luke Farrell and Jake Shulman traveled to the nation’s capital to attend the oral arguments in the case Rucho v. Common Cause, a case on North Carolina partisan gerrymandering. The two seniors were part of a Bass Connections team whose research on the mathematics behind drawing districts was cited in the case’s oral arguments and documents. “I think this was one of the single most important educational experiences I’ve ever had,” Farrell said. “It’s been really rewarding and really hard math research and to see Justice [Elena] Kagan talking about that research directly—even though we played a very small part in all of that—it still was super exciting to see that small part make a big difference in Bre Bradham | Contributing Photographer the long run.” The case focuses on North Carolina’s Seniors Luke Farrell, left, and Jake Shulman drove to Washington, D.C. to hear the oral argument congressional districts, which the plaintiffs for Rucho v. Common Cause. alleged have been gerrymandered to produce districts favorable to Republicans. A district create a variety of maps, determine the political Carolina picked up 53 percent of the vote in court ruled in January 2018 that the maps leaning of a state and ultimately establish 2016 but won 10 out of 13 districts. The data were unconstitutional by violating non- whether the drawn map is likely partisan. collected by Farrell and Shulman suggested According to Farrell, their work that this lopsided outcome is “a giant outlier,” Republican voters’ rights of the First Amendment, We saw that all that is a “nitty-gritty” process of Shulman explained.

The verdict was subsequently appealed to Voting Rights Act provisions seating, seeing their research discussed in luke farrell and other factors. court was a culminating moment for Farrell the Supreme Court. SENIOR Shulman added that the and Shulman. Jonathan Mattingly, chair of the Duke department of idea was to examine what “We went inside for around five minutes, mathematics, and his Bass Connections team the slate of potential maps would look like and we got to hear a good portion of what played a key role in decoding the mathematics if partisan data were not considered when they were talking about,” Shulman said. “They drawing district lines. actually ended up talking about the part that behind gerrymandering. For instance, Republicans in North we’re working on with Duke research, where Farrell explained that team’s goal was to

they talked about the ensemble of maps—the 25,000 maps that we created—and showed that [around] 24,990 are more fair and reasonable than the map that was actually enacted.” Shulman explained that trip to D.C. had been in the works since the court docket came out last semester, and Farrell said he’d blocked off the whole week on his calendar in preparation for the announcement of the hearing date. They drove up Monday, stayed at an Airbnb and woke up early in the morning to stand in line for a few hours, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Supreme Court Justices and attorneys in the case. The seniors even missed their Bass Connections gerrymandering class. Farrell joked they had a “reasonable pass” for that one. Despite the cold temperatures, he added that the atmosphere in the line was exciting as people waited for the chance to be admitted to the courtroom. “A lot of people were really energized in the line,” Farrell said. “Everyone was really excited and here for the case, which I think was really cool.” He explained that his ideal, yet unlikely, ruling would be the court broadly ruling that North Carolina’s maps and partisan gerrymandering are unconstitutional. However, a more feasible outcome would be a 5-4 decision either way, Farrell said. Farrell added that the team often struggled with making the complex mathematics behind their gerrymandering research accessible and useful evidence in the court case. But when the research came up during the argument, Farrell knew that their effort had been worth it. “We saw that all that hard work paid off,” he said. Bre Bradham and Jake Satisky contributed reporting.

SUPREME COURT FROM PAGE 1 Clement responded by saying that it would require figuring out baselines. Later on in the argument, Kavanaugh conceded that “gerrymandering is a real problem for our democracy,” but appeared wary to let the Court intervene. “Have we really reached the moment, even though it would be a big lift for this Court to get involved, where the other actors can’t do it?” Kavanaugh pointed out. Earlier, Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch—a fellow President Donald Trump appointee—pointed out that about 20 states had dealt with gerrymandering through citizen initiatives, which are ballot initiatives for creating nonpartisan redistricting commissions. “The vast majority of states east of the Mississippi, including specifically North Carolina, do not have citizen initiative,”

Bondurant said. Later, Gorsuch added that there is also the state supreme court option. Allison Riggs, lawyer for appellees League of Women Voters of North Carolina, et al., rebutted that these other options don’t replace the Supreme Court’s duty to vindicate constitutional rights. She added that the Court’s reputation is at much greater risk if it does nothing than if it does something. Although there is a 5-4 conservative majority on the bench, some news outlets suggest there is potential for Kavanaugh to be a swing vote. His predecessor, Justice Anthony Kennedy, was known to be a swing vote on partisan gerrymandering before his retirement last year. Kennedy’s legacy also appeared in some of the questions current justices asked regarding whether it would be lawful for state lawmakers to pass a law requiring parties to create maps giving the majority party the advantage. In past writings, Kennedy had established the answer must be no.

PAYMENT FROM PAGE 1 Others were also implicated in the lawsuit, including two of Potts-Kants’ supervisors: William Foster, ex-professor of medicine, and Monica Kraft, former division chief of the pulmonary division. The two supervisors were accused of negligence and ignoring warnings of misconduct. The National Institutes of Health implemented additional regulations for Duke researchers in April 2018, requiring those applying for grants for less than $250,000 per year to provide a detailed budget of their proposed costs. The email went on to outline steps Duke has taken to promote scientific integrity. Price wrote that the University has taken many steps in recent years in order to “promote an environment and culture of scientific integrity,” such as creating the Office for Scientific Integrity and appointing Geeta Swamy as associate vice provost and vice dean for scientific integrity. Duke brought a new data management tool, established required “science culture and accountability plans for all School of Medicine units” and created a program to monitor clinical quality, Price wrote. He added that the University established education efforts on integrity for all faculty and staff and made a committee to review “review scientific programs that have commercial potential.” Price also announced new initiatives in the email. Duke will appoint an Advisory Panel on Research Integrity and Excellence that will provide recommendations to the University on how to “promot[e] research integrity” by June 30. It will create a new research leadership structure and create an Executive Oversight Committee, which will be chaired by A. Eugene Washington, chancellor for health affairs, to oversee the changes. “To be clear: fraudulent and unethical behavior violates the fundamental values of our academic community and must be addressed,” Price wrote. “However, we know that it does not reflect the vast majority of our students, faculty, staff, and trainees. We are very proud of the work you do every day, and the contributions you make to Duke’s enduring and essential mission of excellence in teaching, learning, discovery, service and healing.”

Over spring break, I made an unforgivably heinous choice: I decided to start watching “America’s Next Top Model”. It might seem like an odd choice to spend what precious little free time I have as a student voluntarily watching Tyra Banks psychologically terrorize group after group of young women in the name of “industry realness”, but reality shows have been a staple of my media diet for years. I’m a “Project Runway” zealot who can and will rattle off the name of nearly every contestant in the show’s sprawling history at the slightest provocation; my childhood was spent watching Stacey and Clinton rip apart wardrobes on “What Not to Wear”. Not only have I watched “Dance Moms” in its horrifying entirety, but I religiously followed the show to its grueling end and I still own a Jojo (with the Bow-Bow) Siwa cup gifted to me by some equally fanatic friends. I reflect on these obsessions with fondness, not shame or regret. Reality television is often framed as trashy, unintellectual, a cheap alternative to developing a scripted series that would require paying actors and writers. Some of these accusations are justified — it can’t be denied that a few reality televisions are downright exploitative and inexcusable in their treatment of its subjects and audience — but on the whole, reality shows are unfairly maligned. It is viewed as disposable entertainment, unworthy of analysis or dignified discussion. What so many fail to realize is that reality television has a heart under all that gloss and glitz. These programs are about people, the sort of people who would never be granted a platform under typical circumstances. We live in a world now where a competition show about drag queens is one of the most popular, frequently referenced series on television. Reality shows opened the door for putting marginalized people on the small screen, with programs like “Project Runway” having openly gay contestants

and “America’s Next Top Model” casting multiple girls of color. Even if these contestants and characters weren’t aware of how monumental their presence on television was for their respective communities, their freedom to tell their stories and share their passions fostered a genuine sense of representation matched by any fictional scripted series. Before the Fab Five of “Queer Eye” — who are doing tremendous work dismantling harmful stereotypes and breaking new cultural ground with a simple makeover show — there was Mondo Guerra of “Project Runway.” He was a gay Mexican-

staff note American designer who decided to reveal his HIV status on the runway during one of the episodes, which has since become the show’s most memorable moment and catapulted Guerra to fame despite being the season’s runner-up. This is the magic of reality television: no writers striving to manufacture a sentimental moment or audiences who can complain about “forced” diversity. It is simply a sincere snapshot of an individual’s life that brought comfort and hope to so many, and changed many minds about a highly stigmatized disease. When my ferocious love of reality television is questioned, these are the talking points I like to throw out, but at the end of the day, my central argument is merely that I enjoy these shows. They are not a guilty pleasure for me: They’re just a pleasure. I love the people and I love what they do,

what they make, what they say. Reality shows aren’t just about drama and petty arguments, they are also showcases of human kindness and perseverance. When I think about the nightmare that is “Dance Moms,” what comes to mind isn’t the staged fighting and yelling. I remember the dancing. I remember watching a group of young, talented girls mature and flourish. I remember tuning in each week to see their gorgeous performances. It’s the same reason why I’ve watched 23 seasons of “Project Runway” and started bingewatching countless other programs about everything from modeling to cooking to beauty pageants. I want to see people create, perform and thrive. Reality television is a nexus of art and anti-art, entertainment at its most heartlessly jaded while still retaining an indelible core of unpolished humanity. As much as I adore the lofty heights to which art can soar, my personal standards are hardly that high. At the end of a stressful day, I don’t find myself seeking relief in the prestigious dramas or realistically bleak pop culture that I otherwise laud. My escape from reality is reality itself — or rather, the shiny, structured, sinful world of reality television. —Sydny Long

‘To Survive on This Shore’ honors trans and gender non-conforming elders By Alizeh Sheikh Interviews & Reviews Editor

Walking through the Rubenstein Library gallery, one can’t help but be drawn to the photographic portraits now lining the walls, its subjects staring directly out at the viewer as though asking them to approach. The new exhibit, “To Survive on This Shore,” is the work of photographer Jess Dugan and her partner, social worker Vanessa Fabbre. On display until June 2, the collection documents the histories of older transgender and gender non-conforming people from across the United States. It also makes a concerted effort to create a space that encompasses the whole humanity of its subjects. Having her collaborators look right at the viewer is one way Dugan hopes to empower them, as it places the viewer-viewed relationship on the same plane. In an artist’s talk held March 1 at the Rubenstein Arts Center, Dugan discussed the significance of the collection and the logistics involved in executing it. Dugan and Fabbre carefully coordinated their work so that it would fully acknowledge and respect the lived experiences of the subjects they captured. This care was likewise integrated into the process of interviewing and photographing the subjects and is evident in the final product. The artists took an intersectional approach by selecting subjects who were diverse in age, race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, socioeconomic status and geographic location, ultimately photographing 88 individuals between the ages of 50 and 90 over a five-year period. The process was slow and collaborative: Dugan and Fabbre traveled across the country and spent hours with the individual subjects in the spaces and places they called home, in an attempt to capture the person as truthfully and wholly as possible. “So many trans-related stories in the media are about people being murdered or are about

discrimination of some kind,” Dugan said in an interview with Karen Irvine, curator and associate director of the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago, published in the hardcover photograph and interview collection “To Survive on This Shore.” “With this project, I wanted to create representations of many different ways of living and aging as a trans person,” she said. “I also wanted to record the history of people who, in many cases, paved the road for the world we live in now. I worried their stories were at risk of being lost or forgotten, and I wanted to record and preserve them.” The artists’ deliberate approach pays off in the work itself, which is so varied in its representation that it implicitly proves the point that there is no one experience that defines what it means to be transgender or gender non-conforming. Subjects were often photographed in environments or with objects that were meaningful to them, and Dugan’s inspiration from old master portrait painting lends an air of dignity to the work — her subjects appear to be masters of themselves and their own space. Interviews are lightly edited and open-ended in a way that captures the idiosyncrasies of the subject and makes it difficult to find any sort of common thread that unites them. “One thing that continually struck me throughout the process of making this project is the extent to which class and race affect each person’s experiences in the world, sometimes to a greater degree than their trans identity,” Dugan said. “We intentionally sought out a diverse group of subjects … When people talk about ‘the trans community’ as one cohesive group, that characterization overlooks how different each person’s experience can be depending on the other intersecting aspects of their identities.” Certainly, the experiences are diverse in ways that are sometimes complementary and at

times opposing. For example, some subjects transitioned earlier in life while others did so later: Bobbi, a proud former military man and self-proclaimed “grandfather” of the drone program, transitioned in her 70s and speaks of transitioning as a process, a “development.” Others cannot imagine waiting so long. Trans elder and Stonewall veteran Miss Major said, “For a lot of Black transgender girls and fellows, we had to survive off of our wits. And I think we came out earlier than most of our contemporaries, not like Caitlyn Jenner at 65. I couldn’t have waited until 65 to transition. I’d be a mess.” According to Dugan, the significance of her and Fabbre’s work is fundamentally communitycentered, with the dual goal of representing trans audiences and educating non-trans people about the trans community. The subjects’ stories, of where they’ve been and where they see themselves going, provide what Dugan has called “a roadmap for aging” as a trans person. By reminding trans youth of the precedent set by the elder activists and community leaders who came before them, these photographs provide their own sort of validity and self-affirmation. They are a sign that trans kids are

part of a long and storied history, that their identity never was, and never has been, a fad. Some, like 59-year-old Jay, use their interviews partly as an opportunity to speak directly to and uplift trans young adults. “If you hear our story and it resonates, it is your job to keep holding the torch,” he said. “I will always be with you and watching down wherever I am. I just pray you can soak up strength and love from each other and be everything you were meant to be.” These testimonials resonate for many trans young adults, but they also speak to later years in life spent in retrospect. The theme of aging acts as what Dugan calls a “universal entry point to the community,” and she hopes her and Fabbre’s collection will serve as a launching point for other programming related to trans issues. By displaying the collection in community spaces, collaborating with nonprofits like OpenHouse and SAGE and inviting subjects to talk about their life experiences at book signings and storytelling sessions, Dugan centers the community in an exhibit that shows trans aging “not as the end point, but the beginning of something else.”

Daniel Jones impresses in Pro Day UCF did not

expose path to stop Duke

By Mitchell Gladstone Sports Features Editor

With the NFL Draft less than a month away, the quarterback buzz is nearing a fever pitch. Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray—a possible No. 1 overall selection—is all in on football, announcing last month that he’ll opt for the gridiron instead of the baseball diamond. Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins and Missouri’s Drew Lock are flying up draft boards, each with the potential to go in the first 10 picks. As for Daniel Jones? Well, Tuesday afternoon, the Blue Devil quarterback certainly looked like the soon-to-be first-rounder many experts are projecting him to be. Jones showed off for 31 of the 32 NFL teams at Duke’s Pro Day, held inside Pascal Field House, along with linebacker Joe Giles-Harris, wide receivers T.J. Rahming and Johnathan Lloyd, tight ends Daniel Helm and Davis Koppenhaver and offensive lineman Christian Harris. The only team not represented was the Dallas Cowboys, but there were also three Canadian Football League sides among the approximately 60 scouts and coaches in attendance. The event began with individual drills, including the 40-yard dash, the 20-yard shuttle and the three-cone drill. Scouts then tested players individually before the event was capped with Jones’ throwing showcase, which saw the Charlotte native complete 61 of his 64 passes. “I told Daniel yesterday, ‘[Scouts] haven’t really seen you throw in your environment. This is your place, your house, your turf,’” Blue Devil

Daniel Jones performed strongly in Duke’s Pro Day on Wednesday, turning heads with his speed and arm strength. head coach David Cutcliffe said afterwards. “There were some jaws that dropped. There’s a wide array of interest from a lot of teams. You never know where that’s going to lead, but I had pro scouts and veterans that are friends of mine say that was the best workout they’ve seen in 25 years of doing this.” Perhaps even more interesting than Jones’ throwing was his decision to run the 40 once again after doing so at the NFL Scouting Combine last month. The 6-foot-5 signal caller ran a 4.81 40 in Indianapolis, but has shown himself to be more

than capable with his legs in games, so Jones was eager to one-up his past performance. He did just that, posting a 4.68 on his first run before logging a 4.64 on his second attempt— that would’ve been good for a top-five mark at the Combine, just ahead of Lock’s 4.69 mark. “I just wanted to prove I could run better,” Jones said. “Maybe it doesn’t matter for some people as much as others, but if there’s someone it matters to, I’m going to run again.... I thought I was faster, I knew I was faster, so I wasn’t going to See PRO DAY on Page 12

Blue Devils take down Davidson By Hank Tucker Associate Sports Editor

Graeme Stinson, the ace of Duke’s pitching staff, is expected to be a first-round pick in DUKE 7 this summer’s MLB Draft, and if Tuesday 2 was any indication, DAV his younger brother has the potential to

reach similar heights. Freshman Cooper Stinson’s superb start led the Blue Devils to a 7-2 victory against Davidson at Wilson Field in Davidson, N.C., snapping the Wildcats’ seven-game winning streak. The 6-foot-6 right-hander allowed only one hit in seven shutout innings, striking out 10 batters and walking three. It was the first time he pitched more than five innings in

eight appearances so far this season. “The biggest difference in what he did so well was he used his offspeed stuff in fastball counts,” head coach Chris Pollard said. “He was a three-pitch pitcher today, wasn’t just relying on a big fastball. He threw his slider, threw his split-finger for strikes and swings and misses, really did a nice job of changing speeds.” Duke’s lineup didn’t waste any time getting Stinson run support, loading the bases with no outs in the top of the first as Chris Crabtree, Kennie Taylor and Matt Mervis all reached on singles or walks. Michael Rothenberg grounded into a double play to deflate the potential for a big inning, but it did push the Blue Devils’ first run across the plate. The bottom of the order tacked on another run in the second with singles by Chase Cheek and Kyle Gallagher, and then Duke’s big bats broke the game open in the fourth inning. Five straight two-out singles by Gallagher, Crabtree, Taylor, Mervis and See BASEBALL on Page 13

I’m not going to lie, I was worried. Duke’s season narrowly stayed alive Sunday thanks to a fortuitous roll on Aubrey Dawkins’ last-second putback, which would have sent the heavily favored Blue Devils back to Durham much earlier than expected. Yet, I don’t think Central Florida’s near upset of Duke proves anything about the Blue Devils’ national championship prospects. While Tacko Fall’s dunks with his feet still scraping the floor are incredible to watch, it was his defensive prowess that propelled the Knights in their second round contest. UCF head coach Johnny Dawkins utilized his uniquely skilled center brilliantly, and Fall had a game-high +15 plus/minus. For much of the second half, Dawkins decided to anchor Fall by the hoop attempting to take away what Duke does best—scoring inside. With the behemoth center staying in the paint, the Blue Devils were forced to the perimeter, which is less than ideal for a group that connects on just 30.7 percent of its 3-point attempts. Fall guarded Jordan Goldwire and Tre Jones for much of the game—in name— but he remained in the paint exclusively, daring the pair of guards to shoot. Goldwire and Jones chucked up 11 shots beyond the arc—a majority of which were wide open—and connected on just two of their looks. Even though Dawkins’ game plan was effective in slowing down Duke, it’s not an adequate blueprint to topple the Blue Devils. Simply put, there are no other Tacko Falls left in the NCAA tournament field. I’ll admit that I’m not up-to-date on every remaining player’s last reading at the physical, but there is not a single potential Duke opponent that will match Fall’s imposing 7-foot-6, 310-pound frame. Fall made Javin DeLaurier and Marques Bolden—both normally solid on the boards and defensively—look like elementary schoolers trying to defend against a grown adult. In Duke’s Sweet 16 matchup with Virginia Tech, the Hokies will certainly try to emulate the Knights’ success at keeping the Blue Devils out of the paint. But with nobody on its roster larger than Kerry Blackshear Jr., who checks in at 6-foot-10 and 250 pounds, Virginia Tech does not

PRO DAY FROM PAGE 11 let that go without at least trying.” The highly-anticipated event, however, was Jones’ passing workout, which comprised the final half-hour of the day. With scouts lining both sides of the field, Jones worked with Lloyd, Rahming, Helm, Koppenhaver and running back Nicodem Pierre, showing off his arm at short, medium and long distances. The most impressive, by far, was Jones’ ball speed and accuracy in the 10-to-20 yard range. He completed his first 44 passes of the afternoon before a ball to Lloyd over the middle was just a bit too high, ending his perfect run. Jones also wowed with a handful of his deep balls. Still, there were two passes way down the field that wobbled severely—that is the one aspect of his game that gives draftniks a bit of pause about Jones. “When you look at Daniel Jones, the combination of size,

athleticism, intelligence, toughness, work ethic, he checks all those boxes,” NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah said on Around the NFL after Duke’s Pro Day. “I’d be very surprised if, when it’s all set and done, Daniel Jones does not go in the first round.” The other Blue Devil expected to hear his name called next month is Giles-Harris, who also chose to forgo his final season of eligibility at Duke and turn pro. The Nyack, N.Y., native is currently projected as a Day 3 selection, and chose to only participate in a handful of drills Tuesday. “It’s an amazing experience,” Giles-Harris said when asked about being a part of Pro Day. “It’s kind of sad knowing this is probably the last workout I’ll have here, but it was good to have it with the group of guys I had it with.... It’s a new chapter in my life.” Still, Tuesday was all about the guy who will only have to wait a couple of hours, at most, to hear his name called in Nashville next month. “I’m lucky to be here, and being in this position has always been my dream,” Jones said. “If I wasn’t enjoying it, I’d have the wrong dream.”

BLUEPRINT FROM PAGE 11 possess the manpower to bully Duke inside. With Fall out of the picture, the Blue Devils have the most freakish player in the NCAA tournament: Zion Williamson. Against Fall, Williamson seemed uncomfortable driving to the hoop, yet still put up 32 points. Duke’s recently crowned National Freshman of the Year has not looked that way all season. I would put my money on Williamson dominating the paint once again, given that the Hokies and any other future opponent does not have a 7-foot-6 defensive stalwart suddenly decide to walk onto their squad. Even though UCF played a nearly perfect game against the Blue Devils, no team still alive in the NCAA Tournament is likely to replicate this success. I expect Duke to be the bully in the paint, not the bullied.

BASEBALL FROM PAGE 11 Rothenberg gave the Blue Devils (14-11) a 5-0 lead. “The game was still very much within reach, and we just had some good at-bats there back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back,” Pollard said. “None of those balls were hit right on the screws, but we did a good job of taking advantage of some soft contact.” Cheek’s speed produced a run in the sixth inning when he singled and advanced all the way around the bases on a wild pitch, steal and throwing error by the catcher. Davidson (13-7) remained scoreless through the seventh frame, as Stinson finished his night with a 1-2-3 inning

punctuated by a full-count strikeout. The Wildcats were relieved to see a new face on the mound in the eighth and tagged Adam Laskey for two runs before loading the bases to bring the tying run to the plate. But senior captain Hunter Davis shut down the rally with a full-count strikeout to get the Blue Devils off the field. “He’s just a guy that’s got a lot of guts. If you had 35 Hunter Davises, you’d really have something, because the guy’s got a great demeanor for this game,” Pollard said. “He’s one of the best I’ve ever been around at being the same guy every day.” Mervis responded to Davidson’s runs with a homer on the first pitch of the bottom of the eighth, capping off his first career three-hit game.

On DSG and laptops

ast week, the Duke Student Government (DSG) Senate voted to ban laptop use during their weekly Wednesday night sessions. The new policy, unsurprisingly, was met with mixed responses, notably from Senators Jimmy Xiao and Kyle Melatti, who cited accessibility issues, in speaking out against the ban. Meanwhile, President Kristina Smith, and President pro-tempore Avery Boltwood spoke in favor of the new policy, claiming that it would improve engagement during long, multi-hour DSG sessions. Although not as “scandalous” in comparison to some past DSG controversies, this new policy provides an opportune time to reflect upon our student government’s many shortcomings (and positives). In 2017, the Chronicle reported on a history of chronic tardiness and absenteeism among senators in DSG, a situation that has noticeably improved in recent years. This followed another report in the same year examining the lack of socioeconomic diversity within the organization. These facts, along with persistent concerns over representation and efficiency, generally led to a reorganization of the Senate’s structure. And yet, it seems that some of the tropes of

”

DSG as ineffective and woefully disorganized have persisted, at least in this latest meeting. Notably, after passing the amendment banning laptop use, Gerald Harris, the organization’s advisor and director of student involvement, chastised the body for its lack of professionalism and attention to the business at hand, claiming that “Y’all gotta pay more attention in Senate, period.” In many ways, critiques of DSG have become tiring, begging the question of whether or not we need to take their proceedings, and therefore shortcomings, too seriously here at Duke. Rarely are we in class without a laptop out and even rarer still is a laptop open without at least two tabs unrelated to the business at hand; so much so that many professors have adopted no-laptop policies to improve in-class engagement. Given the implementation of an official, enforceable laptop ban during DSG sessions, one can only wonder the extent to which many DSG senators have become distracted by the sweet digital relief provided by Facebook, ESPN, and Forever21, hidden behind their furtive MacBook screens. Surely, as elected officials chosen to represent the student body, their attention can better be placed on more pressing matters we have entrusted them with, such as SOFC funding or solving the rampant sexual assault problem on campus. Once and a while it is helpful to look outside ourselves and consider DSG’s potential rather than its existence. There are numerous other examples of student governments, many of which have also struggled with similar questions of respectability. In examining how other schools’ student governments responded to such problems, we may find models for ways that DSG might live up to the expectations of truly being the representative student body for Duke’s 6,500-odd undergraduates. Each administration at Davidson College, for example, publishes a strategic plan to ensure that there is a clear, transparent vision for the year beyond vague, overly ambitious campaign

platforms. Even small gestures of professionalism can make all the difference. The executive branch of UNC’s Undergraduate Student Government regularly updates their website with information on all ongoing work (not just projects) to keep obvious and accessible records in service of the student body. This is not to say that our student goernment, especially within the Senate, has not made commendable progress in the past few years. Beginning with the restructuring mentioned earlier, more and more attention has been paid to organizational, institutional reforms. The introduction of a caucus system last year as a way of encouraging senators to break out of the rigid committee-project structure was one such reform—although the full impact is yet unclear. DSGHub, also introduced last year, provides a more transparent way for members of the public (or intrepid reporters) to access Senate agendas and recent legislation. Similarly, projects like the $5 Daily Devil Deals or the recent change to the firstyear meal plan that directly affect students’ wellbeing and are serious and commendable uses of DSG’s organizational authority. DSG does not have to do anything, nor does it have to be taken seriously by us. But it is endowed with a significant degree of institutional legitimacy that few of us could achieve on our own as individual students. And, it is certainly unfortunate that this weight along with the work of those within DSG pushing our campus in a better direction is yet again overshadowed by a petty and resolvable controversy. Yet, with this new laptop ban in place, DSG as an institutional body (hopefully) can concentrate more on pressing issues at hand instead of scrolling through the memes page in the middle of SOFC budgeting.

Is being gay compatible with religion?

ne of my New Year’s resolutions was to never stay up late for an assignment. It was a pretty unrealistic goal, especially for me. In high school, I wrote essay conclusions on the bus and came to class ten minutes late because I still had to print the essay out. I spent my weekends telling myself I would start my work right after the Netflix episode ended, and my weeknights staying up to finish assignments that I meant to do over the weekend. Every day on my walk to class, I stroll past the stunning Duke Chapel that towers above me. Sometimes I stop to stretch my head up and take in the glorious architecture. I see this iconic structure every day, but I can’t remember the last time

Nathan Heffernan COLUMNIST I’ve stepped in. The chapel is the epicenter of this school, yet religion is the most distant thing I experience on this campus. The stained-glass windows give me aesthetic delight and a warmth of nostalgia, but the reminder of religious institutions brings back dormant memories that leave a sinking feeling in my stomach. A week ago, the United Methodist Conference voted to tighten bans on same-sex marriage and LGBT ordinations, a decision that caused great pain for LGBT members of the religious community and prompted sympathetic responses from Duke Divinity School officials. LGBT members of congregations felt alienated by this decision and are faced with a painful situation. As a gay man from a Catholic family, I have innate empathy for the people affected by this decision, especially the LGBT students in the Duke Divinity School. This turmoil reminded me of my own internal conflicts with religion and sexuality, as well as my tendency to avoid such issues while being a Duke student. It leaves me wondering for the people affected by this decision, if it is possible to reconcile the prejudice of an institution with an individual’s own desire to pursue their faith. I went to church every single Sunday while growing up. I had complaints with the Catholic church as an institution, but I believed in the fundamental truths we learned. I thought my purpose in life was to find a career that helped other people, marry a beautiful wife, and then start a family. This calling felt

e hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are in possession of divided attention spans, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain predictable tendencies, that among these are excitement, arousal, and reaction– and to secure the control of these passions, the author must direct them with great purpose and careful calculation, so as to properly court the consent and readership of the content consumers– (Becker’s Declaration of Sentiments, 2019.) It has come to my attention that there are those who regard the titling scheme I follow for many of my columns as “clickbait.” They argue that I design my columns to simply derive the most views possible and provoke a reaction. To a degree, they are right. I do purposefully design the titles of my articles to be interesting, thought provoking, and attention grabbing. I have

Reiss Becker COLUMNIST been and will always be transparent about my intentions: I want people to read my columns. For the sake of further transparency, I also want my readers to offer feedback as well. I want feedback regardless of whether readers enjoy or despise a particular column and regardless of whether they offer coherent, useful criticism or simply inform me, as one commenter did, that “Reiss. You are full of crap.” Thank you. I can assure you that after a weeklong spring break vacation that was both really fun and also excessively indulgent that I am, literally, full of crap. Cruises are not for the faint of heart and they are definitely not for those with bad cholesterol. That being said, I am not full of

so strong and immutable that I ignored the writings on the wall whispering to me that I wasn’t straight. When I finally accepted that I was gay (after six years of adamant denial and self-hatred), my cookie cutter future dissipated. The dream I had been grasping on fell through my fingertips and scattered like ashes in the wind. My family accepted me with open arms, but the church blessed me with a cold shoulder. I was told by my religious family and friends that being gay was acceptable in the eyes of God, even if the church historically antagonized homosexuals. Although their ideas varied, I generally heard the generic “love the sinner, not the sin” argument when it came to LGBT people. In the Catholic church specifically, I was taught that all sex without intention to procreate is a sin. Thus, through semantics, the Catholic church was able to not outwardly villainize homosexuals but still label their actions as sinful. Many Christian denominations share a similar doctrine in regards to LGBT individuals, one that is tolerant of their identity but intolerant of them acting upon their identity. When we are faced with a community or institution that has a different belief, we have multiple options. We can speak out and try to change the overall beliefs, we can accept their rules and silently suffer, or we can distance ourselves from the community. For me, the Catholic church was years from accepting me to the same capacity that I have learned to accept myself. I did not

enjoy the thought of being expected to stay single my entire life, and I found the patriarchal system to be irreparably biased against women. Thus, I did not see the Catholic religion as being compatible with me being gay. There are Catholic youth who share my opinions on the institution but are committed to reforming it, and see a different, harmonious future. Likewise, there are LGBT ministers and future ministers who are paving the way in their own denominations, especially here at Duke Divinity School. Roadblocks such as the recent UMC decision question if reform is even possible in immobile institutions. How does one continue their existence in a community that denies the fullness of their identity? I was never as attached to the Catholic church as I was to my feelings of spirituality. I enjoy reflection, acts of love, and contemplation of life and our place in this universe. When I stepped into my refreshed life as a gay man, I stopped seeing beauty in the religion that I knew before my memory. The condemnations of homosexuality by the priest at the altar cut deeper, and my aversion to my previous place of peace arose. I always go to mass with my family, since I love them more than myself, and when I walk through the doors my heart beats with nervousness as I feel the judgment of the congregation and God on my shoulders. It’s the same feeling I get when I stare at our great chapel, an inescapable feeling of shame and isolation. I have met several Divinity School students in my time here, and these lovely individuals give me hope for future generations of LGBT youth who grow up in religious communities. I’ve had deep conversations with future ministers and preachers who are LGBT identifying or outspoken allies, types of people I never expected to exist. They have the bravery to embrace their full identities and beliefs in the face of institutions that try to shut them out. For them, their identity and religion are not only compatible, but intertwined. I can’t help but to imagine what would have been different if I had a LGBT religious leader or role model when I was younger. Maybe I would’ve been inspired to reform the institutions that shaped my personal life. Maybe I would’ve come out earlier. Maybe I would still feel welcome stepping into my home church. Maybe one sunny day, while strolling past the chapel on my way to class, I would pause to look up at the magnificent tower, and I would smile. Maybe I would go in.

Clickbait crap for arguing that young men who produce economic value should be compensated for the value they produce. Even as I may be full of crap, that argument is steeped in truth, oriented toward equity, and derived from the dignity of all men, despite the anger of Facebook’s “basketball reactionaries.” But I digress. Let’s acknowledge some more selfevident truths. Here’s one: there is an intraorganizational competition for eyeballs within The Chronicle itself. I wish there were not such a competition and that each columnist simply received their fair share of views in some abstract, objective sense, but that is not the case. So in acknowledgement of that reality, I fight. I fight for views, I fight for engagement, I fight for some modicum of influence over the opinions of my fellow Duke students and the body politic, no matter how small that influence may be. I fight by writing titles that capture people’s attention. I continue that fight by writing content that is, ideally, engaging and thought provoking, challenging and constructive. I finish that fight by trying to source my articles adequately, by comprehensively editing with the help of my amazing editors, and by trying to answer questions, address concerns, and respond to every utterance of “hey, your opinion sucks.” To the latter, I always respond: “Okay, why?” My desired end is engagement. I could create sanitized, straightforward and less provocative titles. For instance, I wrote a column titled “Housing reform betrays Duke’s diversity.” That is a big, bold interesting statement. I could have titled that piece “A new perspective on the development of housing reform.” The alternative title would have remained true to the content of the piece (I do give a new perspective on housing reform), but it would have failed to display attributes I valued in the original, more provocative title. For one,

fewer people would have read it because that title is bland, unoriginal, and essentially a copy of a dozen other faceless articles that have been written about Housing Reform. Instead, I used my original title, “Housing reform betrays Duke’s diversity,” to emphasize my differences with the majority of the Housing Reform advocates while simultaneously making a bold statement, that I subsequently back up in writing, about how their proposals fall short. Let me be clear: I make my titles provocative and engaging to attract readers, but I will also defend my titles on the merits. All my titles are simultaneously provocative and substantive in that they attract attention but they also accurately reflect my argument. For instance in my last column called “An open letter to Zion Williamson: Don’t come back,” I start with what was, clearly, an extremely inflammatory opener. But I back the title up! Agree or not, the book matched its cover and therein I did express what I felt were good reasons for why Zion should not come back. You can say my reasoning was “full of crap,” but the title is not. Ultimately, I appreciate “clickbait” titling because it is honest. At least more honest than the supposedly more dignified and reserved alternative methods of titling. Clickbait is an honest expression of why people read opinion journalism or casually go online in general. Whether we are conscious of it or not, we do not read newspapers for raw information or out of some sense of intellectual or civic obligation. We consume content to escape. Worn down by the troubles and travails of everyday life, the petty squabbles and nagging problems, we browse our feeds to broaden our perspective past our own lives and to leave the existential wear and tear behind us, at least briefly. When we read opinion sections, when we engage with something that, for lack of a better phrase, “gets the people

going” we detach from our humdrum problems and are able to focus on something else. So yes, I offer escapism. Hopefully it’s of a high caliber. Ideally, my articles are interesting, informative and worth the time spent reading. At the same time, not all forms of clickbait are created equal. Most clickbait is utter dreck. Whether or not my content is high quality is up to the estimation of the reader. But the reader cannot make that estimation… unless they read it. I hope that my readers think about ideas that are larger than any of us and issues that have significant, fundamental implications for how human society operates. I know I think bigger than myself each time I write a column. I think about the readers, I think about who I want the readers to be, I think about how said readers will respond, and I think about how those responses can be rebutted most effectively. More than that, I think about the change I want to see in the world and what I can do, with my limited platform, to make any sort of a positive impact. For me, clickbait is a means, not an end. It is a means to excite people and thus encourage engagement with ideas I care about and think others should care about too. If accusations of clickbait and Facebook comments are the worst slings and arrows I face, then I am blessed to be a columnist for The Chronicle. Until next time, and thanks for clicking. of interaction fosters student interactions and engagement with people outside of their immediate social circles. “I’m a big proponent of the belief that community is a collective, inclusive institution rather than inherently exclusionary,” Grant said. “When we view everyone as being part of an ‘in-group,’ we open ourselves up to experience more of what Duke (and life) has to offer.” Reiss Becker is a Trinity sophomore.
