Holocaust survivor shares experience

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEENTH YEAR, ISSUE 24

UNWELCOME RESIDENTS

By Preetha Ramachandran A retired professor emeritus of music at Duke told the story of his family’s flight from Nazi persecution at a Thursday event at the Freeman Center.

Alexander Silbiger, who is now a speaker at the Holocaust Speakers Bureau, spent his childhood in the Netherlands. His family fled after the German army invaded the country. Their path took them to France, Jamaica, Curaçao and eventually, in Silbiger’s case, to Duke.

“What crime did we commit that we had to flee?” Silbiger asked the audience gathered to watch him speak in the Freeman Center. “Our crime was we were Jews.”

Jews were once a valued part of the Dutch community, he said, but after the German invasion, the values of the Nazi party—including hatred of Jews—spread.

Silbiger recounted memories from his childhood environment in vivid detail, including an air raid that took place on his sixth birthday, when the guests were forced to wear gas masks and hide in the basement.

“If you’ve never been in an air raid, let me tell you, it’s one of the scariest things I’ve experienced, when at any moment, some bomb may fall and explode right on you,” he said.

The Dutch army was no match for the German troops, he said, who were soon marching through the streets.

Silbiger noted that when the German occupation began, the Jews living around him seem to have underestimated what was in store.

What the Jews may not have seen was that the Germans had a four-phased plan: identify, humiliate, isolate and remove.

As Silbiger described, the first phase of the plan consisted of ID cards, stamped with a large “J,” that Jewish people were forced to carry. The second and third phases featured bans from movie theaters, certain schools, restaurants and other public places.

DukeEngage introduces new programs for 2020

By Anna Zolotor Staff Reporter

Rebecca Schneid | Associate Photo Editor Alexander Silbiger presented stories from his own experience when discussing the Holocaust.

Workers tried several strategies to capture the animal, first putting tape in the ceiling space above the closets in the two rooms, Silombria and Smith said, but to no avail.

On Oct. 3, Smith’s roommate lifted a ceiling tile and came face to face with the culprit—not a rat, but an opossum. She invited Silombria to come see.

“She lifts her ceiling, and there’s literally an opossum right there,” Silombria said. “The opossum looked really scared.”

Workers came with the mission of “checking for wildlife in ceiling,” according to student room entry notices dated Oct. 4 and 8 that were obtained by The Chronicle.

However, Smith wrote in an email that it took

Looking forward to summer 2020 already, DukeEngage has unveiled seven new project sites—one domestic and the remaining international—while several sites have been eliminated for the coming year.

Students have mixed reviews of their DukeEngage programs, but Suzanne Shanahan, Nannerl O. Keohane director of the Kenan Institute for Ethics, says most changes for 2020 were not made in response to student feedback. Earlier this year, DukeEngage became a program at the Kenan Institute for Ethics after the inaugural director of DukeEngage, Eric Mlyn, stepped down.

DukeEngage has added—and eliminated—a handful of new destinations to its program offerings for 2020, and it has debuted Duke(Re) Engage: a research funding opportunity for DukeEngage alumni.

New program offerings include the Bahamas, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay, Colombia, Indonesia,

Kumasi—a city in Ghana—and the Duke Marine Lab. The programs in Seattle, Cape Verde, Kauai, Portland, Puerto Rico and one of the two programs in Uganda will not run in 2020.

Several international programs—with sites in Bolivia, Chile and Lebanon— currently do not have applications open, as Duke’s Global Travel Advisory Committee has recommended that these programs be placed on the Restricted Regions list, according to the DukeEngage website.

Furthermore, the Durham program, which used to work in Durham, N.C., as well as its “sister city” of Durham, England, has been modified and will now stay in Durham, N.C., for the entirety of the program.

Shanahan wrote in an email to The Chronicle that “this year’s changes are pretty typical.

Programs vary annually depending on program director interests and availability.”

The Chronicle asked several students about their DukeEngage experiences to try to determine whether student satisfaction levels

could have influenced decisions as to which programs were kept and which were altered or removed.

Sophomore Alex Chao participated in the DukeEngage-Durham program this past summer. When he participated, the themes of the program were community development and outreach, economic and workforce development and social enterprise and public policy. Their work focused on communitybased economic development, and participants spent six weeks in Durham, N.C. and four weeks in Durham, England.

Chao was disappointed with his internship experiences in both locations. In Durham, N.C., he worked at the Scrap Exchange, which he described as a creative reuse center that is supposed to funnel resources back into the community.

Search committee for Trask’s replacement features no students

By Nathan Luzum Managing Editor

Jake Satisky Editor-in-Chief

On Thursday, the University announced the search committee tasked with finding a replacement for outgoing Executive Vice President Tallman Trask.

Duke announced Trask’s retirement in October, and he is set to retire in Fall 2020 after serving for nearly 25 years as EVP. President Vincent Price hopes for the administrative search to be complete and have someone named by the end of the academic year, according to Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for government affairs and public relations.

“As we do with other senior level searches, it will be a national—or international— search for the next executive vice president,” Schoenfeld told The Chronicle.

Mary Helen Wood | Photography Editor Executive Vice President Tallman Trask is set to step down in Fall 2020 after holding the post for nearly 25 years at the University.

June included then DSG President Kristina Smith, Trinity ‘19, and GPSC President Travis Dauwalter.

The committee is packed to the brim The committee overseeing the vice president/vice with professors, administrators and a trustee provost for student affairs search included Smith, emeritus—but no students.

No students to be found

It features many figures on the academic side of University life, including Bill Boulding, dean of the Fuqua School of Business, who is chairing the committee. Don Taylor, former Academic Council chair and current professor in the Sanford School of Public Policy, Mark Anthony Neal, James B. Duke professor of African and African American studies, and Adrienne Stiff-Roberts, Jeffrey N. Vinik professor of electrical and computer engineering, will also join the committee.

Pamela Bernard, vice president and general counsel, and Hewitt bring their viewpoints as Duke’s chief legal officer and chief diversity officer, respectively. Kathleen Cooney, the chair of the department of medicine, represents the medical school.

The University’s financial interests are represented by Neal Triplett, president and CEO of Duke Management Company, who oversees the investments of Duke’s endowment.

Isaacson, Miller is back

The premier executive search firm Isaacson, Miller is overseeing the search for Duke’s next executive vice president. The firm specializes in conducting administrative searches and is familiar with the top candidates across the country.

“If you’re searching for a president or a provost or even a dean of a school, you’re always going to engage a search firm,” Steve Nowicki, former vice provost for undergraduate education, told The Chronicle in the spring. “They’re the people who are the professionals who are able to use their connections to get out nationally and put the word out, identify candidates that locally you may just not know about and help bring the whole thing together.”

Duke tapped Isaacson, Miller last year to conduct the search that brought Mary Pat McMahon, vice president/vice provost for student affairs, to the University.

FLEAS FROM PAGE 1 until Oct. 15 for pest control company Critter Control to put a cage in the ceiling.

Workers left the cage there for around a week and frequently checked it, Smith and Silombria said, but the opossum evaded capture.

Silombria explained that the opossum was an “added stressor” as she and her roommate studied for midterms, and she was worried about sanitation.

“It’s in the air vent, and we’re breathing the air, and then we couldn’t figure out what it was eating or where it was pooping,” she said.

Not wanting to deal with the stress, Silombria spent around two weeks in a temporary room in Edens Quad. She moved back to Few Oct. 28, a few days after the cage was removed.

In contrast, Smith said that the animal did not bother her and her roommate too much.

“We weren’t very freaked out because [opossums] don’t have rabies,” she said. Smith added that she and her roommate would bang on the ceiling when the opossum was loud, driving it away.

Meanwhile, the residents have not heard the opossum since late October, and its whereabouts remain unknown.

A bug’s life

As the hunt for the opossum was winding down, a new kind of fauna made its way to Few Quad.

On Oct. 26, sophomore Parker Betts, a resident assistant in Few GG, wrote in a GroupMe message obtained by The Chronicle that his residents should stay out of the bathroom on his side of the hall. Betts declined to comment to The Chronicle.

An explanation came three days later, when Gonzalez wrote in an email to residents that fleas had been found in Few GG101T and

HH101T, both men’s bathrooms.

In the email, Gonzalez directed students to use other restrooms until the rooms had been treated by Ecolab, a company that offers “pest elimination,” among other services.

He wrote that students should notify the housing office of “flea activity on their person or in their rooms” and check service and assistance animals for fleas. He also requested that students tell the housing office if they had had a pet in their room this semester.

Students who admitted to having pets in their rooms, which is not allowed at Duke, would not face disciplinary action, Gonzalez wrote.

Sophomore Wilmer Garcia and senior Kinza Khan, both residents of Few GG, said that they had fleas in their rooms. Garcia found bites on his leg several days before Betts sent out his GroupMe message, and Khan’s roommate found red marks on her foot while Khan was out of town for an interview the night of Oct. 30.

Flea traps were installed in their rooms, devices consisting of a lamp and a sticky base to trap fleas that jumped into the light.

“Over time, it was like a flea farm,” Garcia said of the trap in his room. “I would move it, it looked like a chocolate chip cookie.”

Both rooms were chemically treated to deal with the fleas, Kahn’s on Nov. 1 and Garcia’s on Tuesday. HRL provided the affected residents with rooms in Edens on the days when the treatment took place, as well as trash bags and cards that let them use laundry machines for free.

Jordan Viars, residence coordinator for Few Quad, wrote in an Oct. 31 email obtained by The Chronicle that all bathrooms in Few GG were clear of “flea activity” and had been reopened.

Gonzalez wrote the next day that both GG101T and HH101T had been opened. Viars declined to comment, deferring to Gonzalez.

But the flea infestation was not over yet.

On Thursday, Viars wrote in an email obtained

Distinguished Speakers Series

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2019 | 3

by The Chronicle that Few GG101T had been closed again because of “the presence of 5–7 fleas in one of the sinks.” He added that Ecolab was going to treat the bathroom Friday morning, and it would be open again by noon on Saturday.

The bathroom had not been reopened as of Sunday at 8 p.m.

“Portions of the flea life cycle can sometimes survive treatments so an area can require more than one treatment,” Gonzalez wrote in an email to The Chronicle. “Fleas can also be reintroduced to an area which makes identifying the source so important.”

Gonzalez wrote that “the source of the fleas remains unknown.” The opossum might be related, he wrote, but that has not been confirmed.

“Critter Control continues efforts to capture any animals potentially related to this situation as well as seal any access points found,” he wrote.

An anonymous message also popped up in the dorm’s hallways. On a piece of paper outside Betts’ room, a photo of which was obtained by The Chronicle, someone wrote “GET THEM OUT! Too many fleas in this building.”

Silombria that she was considering applying for a housing reassignment for next semester, and she wrote in an email that Viars has been “amazing” about helping coordinate a move.

Khan said that she had considered applying for reassignment, but she is taking classes part time in the spring and did not want to risk losing her housing.

Smith’s and Silombria’s roommates declined to comment for the story.

Neither the opossum nor the fleas could be reached for comment.

‘The least that can be done is no fleas’

Some Few Quad residents expressed mixed feelings about Duke’s response to the opossum and the fleas.

“I guess it was frustrating in that it took so long for them to respond,” Smith said, referring to the long period of time between when the opossum was caught on video and when Critter Control put in the cage, “but the people who came to the room were always very kind.”

She added that “each individual was doing their best, if not more, and they were excited to help us go on an opossum hunt.”

Khan said that HRL had handled the fleas “pretty well,” as they responded quickly to her and her roommate’s work orders, but that the situation was “frustrating” on the whole.

“We’re paying so much money to Duke,” Special to The Chronicle Khan said. “The least that can be done is no Two men’s bathrooms in Few Quad were closed fleas, you know?” after fleas took up residence in them.

internship,” he said, reflecting that he spent a lot of time sorting materials, including “hundreds of thousands of screws.”

In Durham, England, Chao interned at an organization called Changing Lives, where he spent time in their shelter for homeless men. Chao said that the Changing Lives employee who had been slated to supervise DukeEngage volunteers left the organization several weeks before the students arrived, and the remaining employees “really just did not know what to do with [them].”

Chao felt that combining the two locations into one program made very little sense, especially as the population of Durham, England, is fairly homogeneous and well-to-do, so comparisons weren’t terribly useful.

“Going to the United Kingdom was a complete waste of time,” Chao said. “It was just a marketing ploy.”

One of the most critical sources of Chao’s dissatisfaction was the lack of programming and conversation facilitated by the director.

“It wasn’t really an immersive experience at all,” he said. “We didn’t really do anything exciting. We didn’t really have any critical conversations about why were there.”

Chao added that he does not know if student feedback influenced DukeEngage administrators’ decision to alter the program, but he did “leave a very brutally honest review.”

“It is DukeEngage policy to spend 8 weeks in immersive civic engagement in a single community,” Shanahan wrote when asked why the Durham program was altered.

“With so many important opportunities for collaboration in Durham, NC, it seemed important to focus there and there alone.”

Shanahan also wrote that while DukeEngage takes “all stakeholder feedback super seriously, the changes this year were not based on student feedback.”

Sophomore Catherine McMillan, who

participated in the DukeEngage-Boston program, had a different experience compared to Chao’s. The theme of the program in Massachusetts is “addressing social inequities by advocating for children and families.”

McMillan spent eight weeks as an intern for the Boston-based chapter of Mentor, a nonprofit with a mission “to fuel the quality and quantity of mentoring relationships for America’s young people and to close the mentoring gap.” She described her experience in Boston as purposeful and powerful, which she attributes largely to the program having a strong leadership. The faculty director fostered a sense of community and brought us together, she explained.

McMillan said that the discussions facilitated by the director were an essential part of the program. The topics of these discussions included “working with versus working for,” “avoiding the savior complex” and establishing the differences between positive impact on the volunteers and positive community impact.

“By the nature of the newness of the international programs, they can be more problematic with regards to voluntourism,” McMillan said.

DukeEngage strives to keep 35% of its participants doing domestic service as opposed to international programs. Shanahan wrote that the changes to programming for 2020 are not expected to change this percentage.

Duke (Re)Engage is also new for 2020. The program awards DukeEngage alumni funding to continue project work in their previous DukeEngage site, work with a different organization in that location or work with a similar theme in a new location. Successful applicants will receive up to $5,000 for domestic work or up to $6,000 for international work.

(Re)Engage projects are expected to be “be at least eight continuous weeks in length.”

Although DukeEngage location changes were not made in response to student feedback, “(Re)Engage was a response to stakeholder suggestions,” Shanahan said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

New starter O’Connell sparks Duke in rout

By Michael Model Associate Sports Editor

Mike Krzyzewski stressed prior to the season that the Blue Devils would not have a go-to starting five due to the team’s ‘balance.’

Two games into the season, Duke’s head coach has stayed true to his word.

Junior Alex O’Connell replaced Jordan Goldwire in the starting lineup Friday night and quickly made his presence felt, scoring five of the team’s first 11 points and 14 overall as the No. 4 Blue Devils dominated Colorado State 89-55. With the victory, Duke has now won 38 consecutive home openers in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“That’s AO. He’s always been a fire-starter for us, he can get hot at any moment. This year, he’s just really doing a good job of hunting his shot and moving on to the next play if one doesn’t fall,” captain 55 Javin DeLaurier said.

CSU DUKE 89 “I think that’s really helped his game grow and hopefully he can continue to do that for us.”

The Blue Devils (2-0) quickly jumped out to a 11-3 lead, taking advantage of a trio of Rams turnovers with a pair of O’Connell makes.

Colorado State (1-1) promptly punched back with a 7-0 run of its own to bring the score back within one, but Duke would not falter.

The Blue Devils used efficient offense— shooting 55 percent in the opening half—to maintain a two-possession advantage for much of the half, but O’Connell would provide the spark once again. A made triple from the

FOOTBALL

Roswell, Ga., native with 2:10 remaining sparked a deciding 10-0 run to end the opening period as Duke entered the locker room with a 16-point edge at 42-26.

“I’ve seen it first hand how hot he can get,” Blue Devil guard Cassius Stanley said of guarding O’Connell. “The country’s going to see how hot he can get later on in the season. I guarantee you he’s going to hit five, six, seven, eight threes in a game. I promise you.”

O’Connell was inserted into the lineup following a valiant nine-point, three-steal effort against No. 3 Kansas in Tuesday’s season-opening victory, with Krzyzewski opting for offense over defense against the Rams. Goldwire played just two first-half minutes in Friday’s matchup. “[O’Connell] is a hell of an athlete. He’s putting it together. He’s being strong,” Krzyzewski said. “He made a great pass in the second half, too, right along the baseline. He’s just playing strong, he’s not just shooting. He’s the guy on our team that we need all of a sudden—boom boom—he can get points up.”

Coming out of the locker room, the Blue Devils continued to demonstrate that this year’s iteration is unlike recent freshman-dominated teams.

Sophomore Tre Jones built upon an efficient first half with a pair of layups, as Duke stretched the lead past 30 with a 25-9 run early in the second half and would never look back.

After an inefficient 5-for-14 effort against the Jayhawks, Jones found his rhythm as the focal point of the Blue Devil offense. Duke’s floor-general had his midrange shot falling as he converted seven of his 14 attempts in the contest for 15 points. The Apple Valley, Minn.,

Guard Alex O’Connell impressed as a member of the starting five, scoring 14 points. native did not only create for himself, however, adding seven assists—coupled with just one turnover—in the win.

Jones and O’Connell were only two of the five Blue Devils in double-figures. Freshmen Cassius Stanley, Vernon Carey Jr. and Wendell Moore followed suit with respective 19, 11 and 10-point performances.

“None of them are in complementary roles. Like when you’re playing with Zion [Williamson] and R.J. [Barrett], [Marvin] Bagley and [Wendell] Carter, [Jayson] Tatum, with this group—now that’s not bad, I don’t mind coaching those guys—but it puts a ceiling on how much a kid can do,” Krzyzewski said.

“It’s like a musical. When you have two guys like

that, they sing most of the songs and have all the dances. With this, ours is more like a cabaret. It’s, okay, knock our socks off with how you’re doing it. That’s why I said it’s more of an old-school [team], it’s built on defense.”

While the Blue Devils connected on 53.6 percent of their attempts Friday, Duke has yet to prove that it is a better perimeter shooting team than last season. A strong defensive effort and domination inside— the Rams were outscored 56-22 in the paint—masked the Blue Devils abysmal 4-for-22 perimeter performance.

Duke will look to continue its strong start to the season Tuesday when the Blue Devils host Central Arkansas.

NO FIGHT

Blue Devils dominated by Notre Dame in primetime matchup

By Derek Saul Sports Editor

On third-and-11 from Duke’s 23-yard line four minutes into the contest, Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book’s pass hit the grass, setting up a long field goal attempt. Or so it seemed.

Blue Devil defensive end Drew Jordan was flagged for an offsides penalty, gifting the Fighting Irish another chance at converting.

On the ensuing play, Book found wide receiver Chris Finke in the end zone, putting the Fighting Irish up 7-0.

The early penalty would be all the help No. 15 Notre Dame would need from the Blue Devils, with the visiting Fighting Irish taking care of Duke 38-7 at a packed 38 Wallace Wade Stadium ND night.

7 Saturday DUKE Notre Dame utterly dominated the home team, out-gaining Duke 469-197 and forcing the Blue Devils to have more punts (eight) than points (seven) in a completely one-sided affair that left Duke feeling frustrated after its third straight loss.

“We always have to keep calm, cool and collected. I think sometimes we lose sight of

The Blue Devils were left feeling frustrated all night on both sides of the ball. that a little bit, [when] things just aren’t going our way,” Blue Devil linebacker Koby Quansah said. “You get mad and try to point the finger, but we need to point the thumb: ‘What can I do better to get stuff going?’”

Duke (4-5) did not advance into Fighting Irish territory until more than an hour into the evening, only sniffing the opponents’ side of the field after a shanked punt with three

minutes left in the second quarter, already trailing 21-0.

After conservative playcalling and poor execution plagued the Blue Devil offense for the majority of the first half, Duke awoke from its slumber in its fortuitous field position. Blue Devil quarterback Quentin Harris let it fly along the left sideline, finding senior wide receiver Aaron Young for Duke’s

first points of the day, cutting the Notre Dame lead to 14.

The following possession, Book made a rare mistake, throwing a ball up for grabs with Blue Devil linebacker Shaka Heyward coming down with the interception, giving the Duke offense ideal field position once again. Headscratching time management in the waning moments of the second quarter set up a 44yard A.J. Reed field goal attempt. The Blue Devil senior kicker pushed the kick right, his first missed field goal of the season, forcing Duke to head to the locker room still trailing by double-digits. “[With us] getting the ball back at halftime, too, I think what Coach [David Cutcliffe] was looking for there was just to get points on the board and get the ball back at half, and if we come out and score that first drive in the second half, then it’s a 17-21 game,” Harris said. “So I think he was just playing that game and his head and that’s what he was hunting there.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Blue Devils establish team’s defensive identity

By Evan Kolin Assistant Blue Zone Editor

Every great team needs an identity— something that strikes fear in the hearts of its opponents before the ball is even tipped.

It seems that this year’s Blue Devils are finding that identity.

After a masterful defensive performance against No. 3 Kansas Tuesday, fourth-ranked Duke repeated the effort Friday evening in its 89-55 win against Colorado State. Duke forced 18 Ram turnovers, scoring 26 points off those giveaways. Nine different Blue Devils recorded a steal in the contest, with three players—Alex O’Connell, Joey Baker and Jordan Goldwire— recording two steals apiece.

But the most impressive facet of Duke’s defense wasn’t necessarily the numbers it registered or even what it did during the first half of the contest, when the game was actually close. Rather, it’s how the Blue Devils performed when the outcome was already decided—Duke gave up just 29 points while nursing a 30-plus point lead in the second half—that truly defines this year’s squad.

“It’s a sense of pride,” forward Jack White said regarding Duke’s defensive effort in the second half of the blowout win. “We want to play a

40-minute game of basketball, no matter if we’re down, we’re up, if it’s a close game, whatever it is. That shouldn’t change the way we play and how we compete. We all feel like it’s a huge honor to play here at Duke, and any minute we’re able to be out there on the court you got to play like [you] want it.”

The Blue Devils kept up the intensity until the final buzzer sounded, constantly diving for loose balls and never allowing an easy bucket throughout the second half.

That isn’t to say Duke’s defense wasn’t impressive in the first half as well. The Blue Devils forced three turnovers in the first five minutes of the contest, not including two huge blocks from Cassius Stanley and Vernon Carey Jr. And with a team as young as Duke, it will need that defensive spark early in games to alleviate some of the natural lack of chemistry on the other end of the floor.

“I feel like it just led to our offense really, because coach just wants us to play our defense to lead to our offense,” Carey said. “If we make plays on defense, then we don’t really have to run plays when we come back down on offense. That’ll just take care of itself.”

Entering the year, it was clear that the Blue Devils had talent in the backcourt. With

established ballhounds Tre Jones and Jordan Goldwire and athletic freshmen Stanley and Wendell Moore, Duke’s perimeter defense came into the 2019-20 campaign prepared to wreak havoc on opposing wings.

Comparatively, many believed the team’s interior defense was primed to struggle, headlined by two freshman bigs more well-known for their

FOOTBALL

Blue Devils fall to Aggies Duke’s conservative offense due to poor second half flops against Notre Dame

By Em Adler Staff Writer

COLLEGE STATION, Texas—The first twenty minutes of Sunday afternoon’s game hid the fact that Duke is unranked and Texas A&M is No. 6 in the country. The last twenty underscored it.

The Blue Devils dropped their first road game of the season to the Aggies 7958 at Reed Arena. After shooting well and containing Texas A&M for much of the first half, Duke was outscored 46-28 in the second half, getting thoroughly out-rebounded and never finding an answer for star Aggie point guard Chennedy Carter.

“There was nobody really on our [team] that has the rebounding capability that they do,” said Blue Devil DUKE 58 head coach Joanne P. TAMU 79 McCallie. “Obviously, they have some size, and they really ran after the ball…[giving up] 15 offensive boards to any team is going to be costly.”

The first quarter foreshadowed the game well, as Duke (1-1) actually shot much more effectively than the Aggies, but shot less. Texas A&M (2-0) shot eight more field goals in that period, fueling a six-point lead. Rebounding was the real key to that discrepancy, with the Blue Devils allowing five second-chance points while being out-rebounded.

With starters Haley Gorecki and Jade Williams struggling, McCallie opted to use her bench more in the second quarter. Azana

Baines and Jada Claude each played more than half of that period, most notably as part of a small-ball lineup featuring either that pair or Claude and Kyra Lambert, alongside Gorecki, Miela Goodchild and Leaonna Odom. That helped lead to a solid run for Duke, during which it tied the game on two separate occasions.

With just under three minutes remaining in the first half and Duke down 21-0, Quentin Harris tossed a deep ball down the left sideline.

The 29-yard pass dropped right into the hands of redshirt senior wide receiver Aaron Young, who promptly ran it into the end zone for the Blue Devils’ first—and only—score of their 38-7 loss to Notre Dame. The play capped off a two-play, 33-second scoring drive for the Blue Devils, perhaps the only 33 seconds Duke showed offensive life all night.

Simran Prakash | Assistant Sports Photo Editor

Quentin Harris was only asked to throw short for most of Saturday’s contest.

Ever since Harris made his first start as a Blue Devil against Baylor last season, it’s been clear that the strongest aspect of his arm is his deep touch. Yet for much of the first half of Saturday night’s matchup with Notre Dame, it seemed as if Duke’s coaching staff was trying to limit Harris’ attempts downfield.

Prior to his touchdown connection with Young, Harris completed only one pass longer than eight yards—a ten-yard screen to running back Deon Jackson on the Blue Devils’ first play of the game. For the most part, Duke’s offense was a mixed bag of screens and runs, with offensive coordinator Zac Roper only occasionally calling passes downfield. “[Notre Dame] did play pretty soft coverage for most of the game, so I can understand why we weren’t necessarily trying to look and try to throw the ball deep on the outside there,” Harris said. “But we’re just operating with the game plan—we’re trying to operate the plays that we’re given to the best of our abilities.”

Perhaps the team is trying to simplify the offense for Harris. In Duke’s near-comeback against Pittsburgh, head coach David Cutcliffe did mention that a change in offensive scheme contributed to the team’s complete turnaround in the second half of the contest and that he felt like he was trying to do too much with the offense in the first half of that game.

But against the Fighting Irish, conservative playcalling seemed to just hold the team back.

Duke totaled just 123 yards in the first half, with 71 of those yards coming in the final three See FLOP on Page 8

NO FIGHT FROM PAGE 6 good. After a defensive holding on a fake punt kept the Blue Devils’ third quarter-opening drive alive, Harris threw the ball directly to Fighting Irish cornerback Troy Pride Jr., as intended target Scott Bracey never came back for the ball. Book would throw his third touchdown pass of the game 10 plays later, giving Notre Dame (6-2) a 21-point advantage once again.

“First-and-10 opportunity,we were going down the field with the ball and a miscommunication [occured]—[that] can’t happen,” Blue Devil head coach David Cutcliffe said. “That was the spark [we were] looking for.”

Not typically a prolific runner, Book could not be stopped on the ground Saturday, picking

up a career-high 139 rushing yards, including scrambles of 45 and 53 yards. The Fighting Irish running game as a whole impressed, tallying 288 yards.

“He’s just fast and a heck of a football player,” Cutcliffe said. “Schematically...all of those are read quarterback runs. He did a great job with his ball-handling—he kept the ball in the backs’ hands and bellies for a long time.... He’s a heck of an athlete behind a big offensive line. He’s not a very big guy, so he gets lost on those cutback runs and then gets blocks. They’re executing what they’re trying to do.”

The Blue Devils are now fighting to become bowl-eligible, needing victories in two of their three remaining regular season games to secure a spot in a bowl. Duke’s next test will come next Saturday, when a hapless Syracuse team will come to Durham.

Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book dominated on the ground Saturday against Duke.

FLOP FROM PAGE 7 minutes of the half.

Out of the locker room, the Blue Devil offense wasn’t much better. Harris managed just a single connection longer than five yards in the second half, completing 16-of-28 pass attempts on the evening for 102 yards, as well as a touchdown and interception.

The one pick did come on a deep ball, but was caused more so by miscommunication between Harris and wide receiver Scott Bracey than anything else, with Bracey still sprinting down the right sideline as Notre Dame’s Troy Pride Jr. was running the other way with the football. “[The Fighting Irish’s] ability to harass a quarterback and not let us run the football— that’s not conservative or anything else. That’s just getting whipped,” Cutcliffe said. “They did a good job of whipping us a lot. The ball that [Harris] underthrew for an interception is a deep ball. He’s trying to back-shoulder it and [Bracey] had no thoughts of that, you understand what I’m saying. Part of it all goes back to me and execution.”

This season, Duke’s offense has seemed to work best when Harris gets his deep ball going.

Four of Harris’ five passing touchdowns in conference play have come from completions longer than 15 yards.

But the Blue Devils have now lost three consecutive games for the first time in two years, having not crossed the 20-point threshold since their win against Georgia Tech Oct. 12. After a rough offensive showing Saturday night, something needs to change if the Blue Devils hope to win two of their last

three games and become bowl-eligible.

“I’ve been doing this a long time and you don’t panic,” Cutcliffe said. “If you panic, digging your way out, you’re just going to have all the dirt fall in on you. We got a system and we got to believe in each other and believe that we can—that’s first and foremost. We’ve got three big football games in front of us that we can win.”

Harris also agrees that change is necessary.

But he also trusts the fact that, when it’s time to take on Syracuse next Saturday, everyone will ensure the team is in the best possible position to succeed.

“I’m confident in our guys,” Harris said. “I think at times this season you’ve seen how we can operate when we’re playing to the best of our abilities, so we’ll look to continue to get back on that track and just kind of find what works for us and get back in our groove.”

W. BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 7 before halftime, Carter pulled up limping near the sideline as the buzzer sounded. With the Blue Devils down just three points, it seemed that they might have a fighting chance in the second half.

Not quite.

Duke came out of the locker room shooting especially poorly, and Texas A&M made sure to take advantage. A three-point gap turned into 14 by the end of the third quarter. The Blue Devils never looked right in that span, with Odom and Claude combining to go 0-for-7 with two turnovers in their combined 12 third-quarter minutes.

One of the lone bright spots for the Blue Devils was Baines, who played well in the quarter and finished with 12 points on 44 percent shooting, in addition to five rebounds on the second-most minutes of any Blue Devil. “[Baines has] been doing great, in practice, whatever the situation, she’s just been coming on very strong,” said McCallie. “I think there’s some great things that [Baines] did, in terms of her attack.”

Baines’ defense looked especially improved

as compared to her time in high school and during Duke’s exhibition games. She collected a block and a steal while keeping tight to her assignment, showcasing potential beyond pure shooting.

“I just like attacking and finding the open shot,” said Baines. “And looking for my teammates, trying to get them open as much as I can.”

Baines’s defense, however, did not come when it was most needed. Carter paced the Aggies with seven points on 3-for-6 shooting during the decisive third quarter, and finished with 25 points on 44 percent shooting. She proved too fast for Odom and too good a pure shooter for Goodchild, who were beaten nearly every-which-way. Even when they were able to hold up against Carter, the Blue Devils’ 3-2 zone defense continually sagged off the backside shooter. Passes to that player weren’t always easy buckets thanks to Duke’s lateral quickness, but resulted in too many easy threes for a Texas A&M team that struggled to find consistent shooting until the second half. “[Texas A&M guard Kyla Wells] is a very good 3 point shooter, and her non-threes were were effective [too],” said McCallie.

The Blue Devils will travel to Nevada to finish up their short road trip Thursday, taking on UNLV.

IDENTITY FROM PAGE 7 Year—to a mere eight points, with the team’s strategy of doubling all entry passes into the post proving invaluable.

On Friday, the team continued that success against dominant interior opponents. Colorado State’s Nico Caravacho led the nation in rebounding last year, averaging 16.1 points and 12.9 rebounds per game. But against the Blue Devils, he was a near non-factor, posting just 11 points and nine boards on 3-of-7 shooting from the floor.

“All of our bigs have come in and done a good job of being ready to fight,” Duke forward Javin DeLaurier said. “That’s just something we’ve been doing all summer just going against each other all preseason. We’re pretty used to it, just based off of practice.”

Of course, not all was perfect on the defensive end. Although Carey had his bright spots—

posting two blocks and a steal—he also fouled out in just 15 minutes. While Duke was able to manage without the No. 6 overall recruit in the Class of 2019 against Colorado State, the Blue Devils will need Carey to stay on the floor once conference play begins.

According to his teammates, learning how to stay out of foul trouble is just something that’ll come with experience.

“He’s going to have to learn, and it’s something that constantly evolves,” DeLaurier said. “Every game is different. The refs are always going to be calling things differently…. Especially in tighter games, he’s just going to have to pick and choose his spots to let stuff go. That’s Tank—we’re going to need him.”

Luckily for “Tank,” Duke’s nonconference schedule allows for a steep learning curve. But by the time the year turns, there’ll be no room for mistakes.

By then, the Blue Devils’ identity won’t be something that can be up for debate. It’ll be etched in stone.

Duke vape ban is full of hot air

ast week, James Davis, the director of the Duke Smoking Cessation Program, proposed that Duke extend its soon-to-be implemented “smoking ban” to include electronic cigarettes. In its present condition, the smoke-free campus initiative will only prohibit combustible tobacco products, such as cigars and cigarettes, and does not regulate the use of e-cigarettes.

Nikhil Sridhar LAISSEZ FAIRE ET LAISSEZ PASSER As some readers of this publication might remember, I am also an opponent of Duke’s general smoking ban, and I think some of the arguments are transferable to this issue. The science and policy surrounding e-cigarettes is vast and complex, but I think that Duke should take a step back before engaging in such drastic policy that may have broader unintended consequences.

It is worth mentioning that Dr. Davis’ suggestions strongly echo the direction of national policy. Just last Friday, President Trump suggested that the United States may move to raise

hot take of the week “Darius Rucker’s version of Wagon Wheel is the best one.”

the minimum age to purchase vaping products to 21.

The administration is also moving to prohibit the sale of flavored e-cigarette products. This, of course, lags behind more proscriptive legislation in other countries, which have included full scale vaping bans.

Opponents of vaping point to several arguments to bolster their case. One of the most commonly cited arguments against e-cigarette use concerns the addictive qualities of nicotine, and how it affects nonsmokers who may be drawn to seemingly harmless e-cigarettes and quickly find themselves hooked on the substance.

Dr. Davis also mentioned that, given how new the vaping phenomenon is to America, there is little in the way of long-term evidence that could possibly provide conclusive information relating to the health effects of e-cigarette usage. While e-cigarette products have been on the market in the United States since 2007, it wasn’t until Juul (which now holds 72% of the e-cigarette market) hit the shelves a few years ago that they became widespread.

The recent wave of vaping-related illnesses has struck fear into the hearts of regulators and consumers alike. Dr. Davis points to the uptick in “Lung Injury Syndrome” to justify a campus-wide ban on e-cigarettes. I am not going to deny that there are several health hazards associated with vaping, and Dr. Davis documents many of these. However, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to express some skepticism at a proposal as radical as a full-scale prohibition on the usage of e-cigarettes. It is worth referring back to a recent letter to the Chronicle by a group called the Concerned Tobacco Addiction Treatment and Policy Experts, which includes several physicians employed

by Duke University.

Their understanding of the literature reinforces the consensus that vaping is far less dangerous than smoking cigarettes, as “studies of e-cigarette users have shown that they take in far less toxins than cigarette smokers.” As the smoking ban inches closer, students and employees of Duke that are addicted to nicotine may be forced to find other alternatives, such as nicotine replacement therapy, which is, as these experts discuss, about half as effective as e-cigarettes in helping smokers quit their habits.

Furthermore, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that much of the recent ruckus surrounding vaping-related illness can be traced back to vitamin E acetate, which is used to treat cannabis extracts for vapes, not the legal, nicotine vapes that would also be subject to this ban. In fact, 86 percent of patients reported consuming cannabis through their vapes, and it would not be surprising if the actual percentage was higher than this.

There is a strong argument that Duke should minimize its interference in the freedom of its students and employees to make choices related to their personal health. The members of the Duke community that will be affected by this ban are adults with the autonomy and intelligence to make decisions about themselves consistent with their own longterm interests. The bureaucratization of the lifestyle choices of its students should concern everyone, as it is a logic that can be employed to exercise further and more restrictive policies against the student body.

What to say to people with chronic pain

P

eople with chronic pain know all too well what it’s like to be in conversation with wellintentioned people who don’t know what to say.

We know what words feel good, and what words make us want to punch a hole in a wall somewhere. So, wonderful, well-intentioned people who don’t know what to say to a friend or acquaintance who has chronic pain: here is a helpful cheat sheet!

“How are you doing?”

Liddy Grantland FEEL YOUR FEELINGS I know, I know. What could we possibly say to our acquaintances in line in Vondy if we don’t ask them how they are? I can’t count the number of times I have said, “Great! Fine! Doing amazing!” and been in intense pain when I said it. Even when I can tell that someone is asking how I’m doing the way people do when they know you might not be okay—you know, “how are you doing?”—I don’t usually want to explore my trauma with them in line with my backpack on five minutes before my class. I just want some pumpkin bread.

Try instead: “How are you doing today?”

You mean I can be as specific or as vague as I want to be? I can talk about my pain level or I can talk about the weather or breakfast or my e-print malfunctioning earlier?

Or I can still respond with a vague “good, how are you doing today?” Yes please.

“Have you tried this chiropractor/pain medicine/ meditation/aromatherapy/acupuncture/positive selftalk/massage therapist/exercise routine/etc?”

Maybe! Not to be rude, but it’s none of your business!

If you are talking to someone who has told you that they have chronic pain, it is safe to assume they are treating it as best they can, given their limitations of time, money, physical and emotional energy. Giving advice unprompted is invalidating because it tells the person in pain that you know more about their pain than they do. When you find me at the snack table of a party and start extolling the virtues of a meditation app that you promise will cure my pain, it makes me not want to talk about my pain with you.

Or talk about anything with you.

Try instead: “Read this if you feel like it.”

There is a right way to share information with someone in pain. If you are good friends with someone (read: not cornering them at a party), and you are aware of a treatment that you truly believe could help them, send them an article about it. I always appreciate it when someone shares information with me in a way that’s free of expectations or judgements, because whether I do

pursue that treatment or not, I know that my friend has an understanding of what I’m going through.

“God has a plan.”

Oh, boy. Listen. God and I are cool, for the most part.

I like God. I am into talking about God. And even I don’t want to hear about how God has a plan! You know why?

I have never heard this phrase from someone who lives with chronic illness or pain. In this hypothetical plan, I walk around the world in pain and you walk around the world telling people about God’s plan. That doesn’t sound like a good plan to me.

Try instead: “That sucks.”

It does! It sucks so bad sometimes! The beauty of this phrase is that it opens the door for us to talk more about it if I’m into it, but it also can be the end of the story. It sucks. Sometimes, that’s it. Let’s go get a McFlurry.

“You’re too young/pretty/happy/healthy-looking to be in pain!”

And yet, here I am! Young, healthy-looking people being in pain disrupts our conventional understanding of who gets to be healthy and who gets to be unhealthy.

But not only does this statement minimize the pain of people who fit the stereotypes we have about people with chronic illnesses, it also explicitly denies the pain of the person you’re talking to. It is uncomfortable for a young (or old) person who believes the lie that their bodies are invincible to hear that anybody can hurt. But don’t pin that discomfort on people in pain.

Try instead: *Silence* This is straight out of Kate Bowler’s list. If you’re feeling uncomfortable when someone tells you about their pain, it is better not to contribute to the conversation just yet. Do feel free to continue sipping your smoothie while I talk about my new heating pad.

“I’m sure it’ll get better soon!”

Eek, I’m not as sure as you are! And now I feel like, if I tell you that, you might be more upset about it than I am!

I certainly hope it will get better, but you are not sure it will, and neither am I. Try instead: “I’m about to go to the Loop; can I bring you something?”

In Kate Bowler’s words, “Oh, thank goodness. I am starving, but mostly I can never figure out something to tell people that I need, even if I need it.”Being there for someone in pain may look like silence, may look like understanding, and should always include affirmation and validation.

But it also definitely looks like bringing them some dinner so they can keep rewatching Modern Love in bed.

My name is K-Ville Grass. This is my story.

W

hen I was younger, my mama told me I could be anything I wanted. I knew better than to rise above my station.

Me and my hundreds of siblings were born on a sod grass farm. My mother died shortly after we were born, but I still remember her last words to us.

“Aspire to greatness”, she said. We could one day be planted somewhere like the White House South Lawn.

But then came basketball season.

The first home game was brutal. Doe-eyed first-years had no idea what time to show up to the game, and they arrived hours earlier than necessary. The idiots abused us. They paced around on us, they sat down on us, they picked us.

That was only the beginning.

The first-years never learned their lessons. They kept coming early to basketball games and kept abusing us. My siblings tried

It was a bloodbath. My siblings were crushed by students running to grab a spot on the lawn. Some were further smothered by a plastic tarp. The humans had no mercy. They put crates down on the tarps to further suffocate my siblings.

Soon, the humans put up tents. They drove stakes into my siblings’ backs. They pounded the stakes further and further, ignoring my brethrens’ screams. By some miracle of the Grass God, I survived. I sat between four tents.

to keep their spirits high. Duke still cared about us, right? They still watered us. They still clipped us.

“No,” I whispered to them, “wait until January.”

January came and so did tenting season. I had heard about tenting from a grass back on the sod farm. The grass said she would sooner be planted on a grazing pasture than in K-Ville during tenting season.

I looked around me. Dozens of students stood around our perimeter, holding tarps in their hands. I wondered why they didn’t step on us. Usually students loved to walk around on us. But now, they were being very careful not to touch us at all. Something was wrong.

Suddenly, a human yelled something through a bullhorn.

Then dozens upon dozens of students ran onto the grass.

Even though I survived, life was not worth living. Humans poured beer and vomit on me every other night. They dragged lawn chairs and lawn ornaments on me. They tortured me with their nightly renditions of Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver.

My few surviving siblings thought that they had endured the worst. The worst was yet to come with P-Checks. I have never known such agony.

Please, remember my story, and perhaps one day, K-Ville Grass will be afforded dignity.

Monday Monday NOT NOT TRUE I didn’t want greatness. My dream was to be planted in a quiet backyard in Raleigh. I wanted a comfortable and safe life. Unfortunately, fate had different plans for me. Soon, I was uprooted and brought to Duke University.

I held onto some hope that I would be planted somewhere quiet, like in a patch behind Keohane. Instead, I was unloaded onto dirt in Krzyzewskiville. I shuddered. Some of my siblings looked around in awe, amazed that they would be chosen for such a prestigious position. I knew better. I knew what really went on in K-Ville.

We were beautiful at first. Visitors and tour groups marveled at our color, and made sure to get us in the frame of their pictures of the K-Ville sign. Duke spent a lot of time caring for us. The University watered us every night and carefully clipped us. My siblings were convinced that Duke truly cared about us.

Monday Monday compiled this narrative through interviews with K-Ville Grass, documents, and found footage. Although some creative license was taken, all events described did take place. The movie rights are up for grabs.

An anti-war history of Duke T

he Silent Vigil of 1968 and the Allen Building Takeover of 1969 have achieved—rightfully so—an almost canonical status in our institutional memory of Duke student activism during the late 1960s and 1970s.

Duke students demonstrated for a $1.60 minimum wage and collective bargaining rights for non-academic workers—the majority of whom were Black—the creation of an African American Studies department

Annie Yang PLANTING SEEDS and increased resources for Black students, among other demands for greater racial, economic and social justice at Duke and in Durham. Similar demonstrations and protests were occurring across the country and all over college campuses, challenging the foundations of university institutions and American society itself.

However, when talking about the long sixties, it’s impossible to ignore the significance of anti-Vietnam War protests— as well as the connections drawn between it and other contemporary movements.

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee condemned the Vietnam War in 1966, arguing that the United States, which had consistently failed to guarantee freedom for Black Americans, was hypocritical in feigning concern for the freedom and democracy of Vietnamese people. Workingclass communities opposed the war on the basis that it was another “rich man’s war, poor man’s fight,” which disproportionately drafted the poor to be “cannon fodder,” and that the military-industrial complex should be dismantled in favor of building social programs instead.

At Duke, students linked the struggle against the oppression of Black people and exploitation of workers through actions like the Silent Vigil and Allen Building Takeover.

But did they make similar connections with the Vietnam War, and if so, what is Duke’s

history of anti-war activism? What stories do we tell about student activism and organizing at Duke? What stories do we forget? This column is an attempt to breathe life back into the history of anti-war activism at Duke.

The Duke Chronicle’s archives from 19681974 offer a glimpse into what was no doubt a contentious, impassioned campus climate regarding the Vietnam War. The Chronicle reported on student demonstrations and organization statements. Numerous

became “an apologist for an accomplice to the imperialist policies of the military establishment.” The Duke chapter of Students for a Democratic Society released a similar statement the following year, condemning the US military and calling for the removal of ROTC programs from Duke.

In May of 1969, 300 students from the SLF also staged a demonstration at Duke’s annual ROTC parade in the Wallace Wade Stadium, carrying signs of “Bring the Troops Home

For Duke students today who struggle against what Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. called the three evils of society—racism, poverty, and militarism—the anti-war movement at Duke in the late 1960s and early 1970s is proof that fellow Duke students dared to imagine a different society.

editorials launched scathing criticisms of the war and Duke’s connections to the militaryindustrial complex—namely ROTC, the AROD (Army Research Office-Durham), and military-funded university research.

On January 30, 1969, the Chronicle’s editorial board argued that “by its very inaction, our University has become an insensitive agent of imperialism, racism, and poverty.” In strong terms, the board claimed that “for university credit, students are trained to kill and are indoctrinated with blind patriotism in the ROTC.” They also drew attention to the presence of the Army Research Office in the campus computer center and the fact that an “overly large proportion” of the university’s revenue went towards defense research.

In April 1969, the Student Liberation Front (SLF) released its position paper on the Vietnam War. The SLF believed that through its participation in ROTC programs and acceptance of Department of Defense (DOD) funding, which supported 14% of all of Duke’s restricted access research, Duke University—and universities in general—

Now” and “End Militarism.” Demanding the removal of ROTC from campus by October 1, 1969, they were met with jeers and death threats from the crowd in the stadium.

On May 4, 1970, four students at Kent State University were shot and killed and nine more were injured protesting the bombing of Cambodia and the escalation of the Vietnam War, sparking student strikes and protests across the country.

After 1,000 people gathered in Page Auditorium that night to discuss responses to the escalation of the war, 200 students presented a list of demands the next day to President Sanford calling for “an end to all American involvement in Indochina, the end of all military influence on campus, including the Army Research Office Durham and ROTC, and an end to the repression of all workers, especially the ‘super repression’ of blacks and women at Duke.” Through these demands, Duke students explicitly linked the oppression Black people, workers, and women at Duke with the war in Vietnam.

Throughout that day, nearly a thousand Duke students participated in anti-war

actions such as sit-ins, building takeovers, and flyering downtown Durham. 500 students attended a rally after the Associated Students of Duke University (ASDU), a predecessor to Duke Student Government, called for a 24-hour vigil and peace-fast.

Reportedly, 60% of students participated in a boycott of classes to support non-academic workers and their right to unionize. About 400 students barricaded Duke University Road, grinding traffic to a halt for nearly 9 hours to protest the war.

Actions against the war continued at Duke until at least 1975, with four students staging a die-in at the Navy ROTC parade in 1971 and renewed demonstrations against the Sanford School’s DOD funding in 1975.

Despite a restriction placed in 1969 on the number of military courses that could count towards graduation, an Academic Council subcommittee on the ROTC program found it “legitimate.” President Sanford, responding to student demands, agreed to form another University committee investigating ROTC and promised to put a non-academic workers union election on the May 1970 Board of Trustees calendar. In 1971, Duke ended its basic agreement contract with AROD although the office did not move off campus—where it remains to this day—until 1975.

It is not the place of this column to determine whether or not Duke’s antiVietnam War movement was a “success” or “failure.” The work of history is to uncover a usable past that can illuminate possibilities for the present and future world.

For Duke students today who struggle against what Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. called the three evils of society—racism, poverty, and militarism—the anti-war movement at Duke in the late 1960s and early 1970s is proof that fellow Duke students dared to imagine a different society. As we confront the endless wars of our time, may we take both comfort and strength in the tradition we inherit from those who came before us.
