Faculty, staff vent frustrations at Parking and Transportation

By Iris Liang Contributing Reporter

Editor’s note: Do you have concerns about parking on campus that you would like to share with The Chronicle? Email Managing Editor Nathan Luzum at nathan.luzum@duke.edu if you are interested in sharing your experience for future reporting.

Students aren’t the only ones who have an axe to grind with parking—several staff and faculty members from across the University have expressed frustration with Parking and Transportation Services.

The director of Duke’s Triangle University Nuclear Laboratory and several workers in the Duke University Health System voiced several issues with parking, ranging from steep prices, availability

on campus and potential safety concerns. Carl DePinto, director of Parking and Transportation Services, did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story.

The Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) is not happy with Duke’s parking department. Although the lab has sent multiple complaint emails, TUNL Director Art Champagne said the problems just don’t seem to be fixed.

“They are making it really hard for us to do our work,” he told The Chronicle.

He explained that TUNL has had ongoing disputes with Duke’s parking department for a few years, describing the problem as “multi-dimensional.”

The first dimension is cost. Since 2016, Champagne said the price of the daily pass for parking has doubled from $5 to

Westboro Baptist Church to demonstrate Monday, will not be allowed on campus

By Ben Leonard Investigations Editor

Westboro Baptist Church, dubbed “arguably the most obnoxious and rabid hate group in America” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, will demonstrate at noon on Monday on the corner of Erwin and Towerview roads, according to Steve Drain, spokesperson for the church.

The notorious anti-LGBTQ+ hate group originally planned to “preach” at Duke Law School, but Duke, citing a university policy barring outside demonstrations on campus, told them they weren’t welcome.

The new location is just at the edge of Duke’s campus, a short walk from the Law School.

More than a dozen student organizations, including Blue Devils United and Duke Student

Government, signed a letter of solidarity obtained by The Chronicle “to those affected by this hate group and other groups like them.”

“Although this act of hate is a very visible manifestation of the larger issues of homophobia, transphobia, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and white supremacy, we want to emphasize that this is not an isolated incident,” the letter said of the planned demonstration. “It is indicative of the greater need to work against all manifestations of these forces in our daily lives.”

Westboro Baptist Church, based in Topeka, Kansas, says it has conducted more than 65,000 demonstrations against “sin” since 1991. The group condemns homosexuality, which it says is a “sin at the forefront of the moral crisis in this nation,” and claims that “God hates Jews.”

THE KUNSHAN REPORT

Start-Up University: Going beyond a ‘Duke education in China’

By Charlie Colasurdo DKU Contributing Writer

Undergraduate students at Duke Kunshan University (DKU) in China will be contributing written and multimedia content to The Chronicle to be published every other Friday. DKU, a joint venture university between Duke and Wuhan University in China, began its undergraduate program in 2018 and currently enrolls over 550 students from 40+ countries. DKU students receive Duke undergraduate degrees and become part of Duke’s alumni network. We are eager to get the word out about Duke Kunshan and the people, programs and unique perspectives of the community there through this upcoming series of biweekly articles, op-eds, and more.

This is the first piece in The Kunshan Report.

Blue Devils reach new low gets

$10. The lab’s research grant has also gone up, but not nearly at the same rate. In 2018, $24,000 of the lab’s expenses were spent on parking, and that number rose to a record high of $30,000 in 2019.

“That’s money I’m not spending on research,” Champagne said. “I don’t see what the justification is. They’re gouging me.”

A U.S. Department of Energy Center of Excellence, TUNL works at the frontier of nuclear physics. It was established in the 1960s by Duke, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Projects in the lab range from investigating stars through nuclear synthesis to examining the properties of neutrinos.

Every college first-year can relate to the experience of having buzzwords, such as “interdisciplinary,” “international” and “innovative” thrown at them in their first few weeks on campus.

Boiling down a four-year experience into a handful of tropes seems to be par for the course as far as college marketing. For the second class (2023) of undergraduates at DKU, the catchphrase that keeps popping up, again and again, is “Start-Up University.”

Embedded within info sessions about campus procedures, welcome speeches from professors, deans and chancellors, the threeword slogan is emblematic of what our college experience will entail.

The mantra is certainly fitting for a See CHINA on Page 4

PETA labels Duke one of the worst in animal testing

By Matthew Wang Staff Reporter

Animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ranked Duke among the worst schools in the country for animal testing, but Duke professors and students argued that the University meets ethical standards for research.

PETA’s new “Failed Tests” feature rates colleges and universities as “bad,” “worse” or “worst” in animal testing. Duke is in the “worst” category, along with dozens of other universities, including prestigious research institutions like Princeton, Yale, Stanford and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, wrote in an email to The Chronicle that Duke has “a rigorous process in place to ensure that all animal-related research adheres to the highest standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Institutes of Health and [Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care] International,” the latter of which is an organization that accredits universities for treating animals humanely.

Schoenfeld wrote that Duke’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) reviews all animal-related research in advance and monitors it while it is in progress, along with “veterinary and other professional staff” in the Division of Laboratory Animal Resources.

The IACUC, according to its website, is charged with “overseeing and routinely evaluating” the Duke Animal Care and Use program through “the evaluation of the care, treatment, housing and use of animals.”

PETA rates schools based on the number of Animal Welfare Act (AWA) animals used, funding for animal research from the

National Institute of Health and violations of animal-safety regulations, PETA project manager Kenneth Montville wrote in an email to The Chronicle.

Taking these three factors into account, PETA uses a formula to give each school a rating score, which Montville described as the sum of the “number of AWA covered animals divided by 1,000,” “funding dollars divided by 5 million” and “the number of violations with various multipliers depending on severity.”

Schools that receive any funding or use any animals for testing—with the exception of mice, rats and birds—are labeled “bad,” schools with more than two points are labelled “worse” and schools with more than 25 points are labeled “worst.”

Duke’s score was 129. In an email to the Chronicle, PETA media manager Tasgola Bruner wrote that Duke used 1,213 animals, received $475 million in NIH funding and had two violation reports.

The schools with the most points include Oregon Health Science University with 227 points, the University of California San Francisco with 181 and Johns Hopkins with 173, Montville wrote in an email. Duke has the 11th-highest score and the University of Michigan and the University of Washington are tied for no. 9, he added.

“The purpose of our campus cruelty report is to pull back the curtain on this abusive industry and to get students thinking about the cruelty that happens behind closed doors and these windowless building on their own campuses,” Montville told The Chronicle.

The broader aspect of PETA’s mission is to combat speciesism, the idea that the human species is more valuable than others, Montville said. He said the group argues that speciesism is the reason humans believe it is

morally justified to experiment on animals for the benefit of humankind.

PETA also argues that animal testing is not useful in finding treatments for humans.

The group claims that that more than 90% of research resulting from animal testing fails in the human-treatment phase.

However, UK-based nonprofit Understanding Animal Research argued in 2013 that animal rights groups have taken this statistic out of context, as animal testing helps ensure that drugs have therapeutic potential and are safe to test in humans.

Montville said that animal testing is an outdated approach, wasting limited research dollars and preventing researchers from acquiring information that is actually relevant to human patients.

Two Duke students said that Duke follows ethical guidelines in research.

Senior Rebecca Lee, a research assistant studying the development of glands in mice, said that Duke is extremely strict when it comes to following protocol.

The mice in the lab where Lee works are constantly monitored to ensure their good health, she said, and lab veterinarians are readily available when health concerns arise.

Sophomore Sachin Jaishankar, who works with mice to study the role of exercise therapy in treating Alzheimer’s Disease,

said that he went through mandatory training before working with the mice. Students must learn how protocols on euthanasia, transporting animals, housing animals and more, Jaishankar said.

Animal testing may also provide significant research information, Lee and Jaishankar said.

“There is a lot of genetic testing, and there are genetic similarities across species,” Jaishankar said.

For example, he said that mouse studies provide a “direct scalable way” to model Alzheimer’s in humans.

Jaishankar said that, although there are in vitro models, what happens in a petri dish or computer model is not representative of what happens in the human body. Computer models can be a prerequisite for animal testing, he said, but not a replacement for realworld application.

Stephen Miller comes under fire for anti-immigrant emails

By Bre Bradham Investigations Editor

Stephen Miller, White House senior adviser and Trinity ‘07, drew a firestorm of media attention this week after hundreds of his emails with a former Breitbart editor were reported by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Miller, an immigration hardliner who was reportedly an architect of President Donald Trump’s controversial “Muslim ban,� sent the emails to Katie McHugh, then an editor at Breitbart, in 2015 and 2016. The SPLC report paints a picture in which Miller would send information and story ideas— sometimes citing VDare, which has published work by white nationalists, and InfoWars, which is known for promoting conspiracy theories—to McHugh, who then often wrote about the topics for Breitbart.

The emails prompted a joint statement from the leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Black Caucus, Hispanic Caucus and Asian Pacific American Caucus Thursday, calling for Miller’s resignation. “His beliefs are appalling, indefensible, and completely at odds with public service,� the statement says.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D. N.Y., took to Twitter in response to the report, calling Miller a “white nationalist� and starting a petition to demand his resignation.

In the emails, Miller referenced the racist book “Camp of the Saints.� He also repeatedly cites President Calvin Coolidge, who signed the Immigration Act of 1924 to limit immigration based on national origins.

As Amazon and other retailers began to pull Confederate flag merchandise in the wake of a white nationalist killing nine black churchgoers in

Charleston, S.C. Miller suggested McHugh look into communist flag merchandise on the online retailer’s website, according to the SPLC’s report, to show the “stunning corporate hypocrisy that defines our modern culture.�

The more-than-900 emails SPLC says it reviewed were sent from March 2015 to June 2016—a period in which Miller was an aide to then-Senator Jeff Sessions, R. Ala., who later became Trump’s attorney general, and during the first part of Miller’s time with Trump’s campaign.

McHugh, who gave the emails to the SPLC, has said she was fired from Breitbart for antiMuslim tweets in 2017, but now “renounces farright views.� In a statement to the SPLC for the report on the emails, Breitbart spokesperson Elizabeth Moore said they fired McHugh for “a multitude of reasons.�

The New York Times has also reported on the emails, saying that it was provided with seven pages of the emails by the SPLC. White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham slammed the SPLC when asked about the report, according to The Associated Press, saying the organization attacks conservatives and is “beneath public discussion.�

On Thursday, White House Spokesperson Hogan Gidley called out the SPLC for a recent $3.4 million lawsuit settlement in a statement to The New York Times. “I work with Stephen,� Gidley said. “I know Stephen. He loves this country and hates bigotry in all forms—and it concerns me as to why so many on the left consistently attack Jewish members of this administration.�

The Times reported that Miller declined their request to comment, and The Chronicle was not able to contact Miller for comment about the emails in time for publication.

PARKING FROM PAGE 1 He added that the problem with parking becomes worse during football season, when parts of the campus are closed off and drivers are required to purchase checkpoint passes.

Sometimes, Champagne alleged that the parking staff members “don’t honor the checkpoint passes,â€? preventing staff from accessing an accelerator, a key tool for their research. An accelerator failed in September 2018, and Champagne noted that its supervisor was turned away by parking staff. Due to the delay in maintenance, an experiment had to be shut down. “That’s just not acceptable,â€? he said. “We need to be able to get in there to do our work. I don’t care if it’s football‌ Let’s get our priorities in order. I’m sure that other people who want to work during football season have the same issue that we do.â€?

Champagne also worried about the safety of his graduate students. Due to limited parking space, most of them need to park in the Smith Warehouse Lot and walk 7/10 of a mile to where the accelerator is located. The accelerator operates 24 hours a day, he explained, meaning some students must walk long distances at night.

He mentioned he no longer has an optimistic attitude toward parking issues. “There’s no way to win against parking,�

Champagne said. “I’ve dealt with this at other universities, too. We complain and we feel good about it, but no one wins.�

Heather Kuehn, a regulatory coordinator at the Duke University Medical Center, also had complaints against parking. Kuehn and her colleagues pay to park in the Graduate Center lot, located near the intersection of Erwin Road and Flowers Drive.

In September, around 60 parking

spaces were reallocated to the GC lot due to construction. Due to the reconfiguration, Kuehn now has to park in the H section, which is farther back past the internal parking gate and bordered

by Erwin Road and Anderson Street.

Kuehn thinks it is unfair to park in the H section but still pay the prices of the GC lot. In addition, she received a ticket for parking in the newly allocated spaces prior to when markings were drawn. Since then, Kuehn said she has sent multiple emails to the parking department without receiving a desirable response. “The parking department can kill employee morale,� Kuehn said. “Many of my colleagues are completely frustrated with employee parking.�

Noely Martinez Overby, a clinical research coordinator at the Duke University Medical Center, said she feels the same way. Overby has worked at Duke for four years, one as a medical assistant and three as a researcher.

Before this year, Overby has had to park in the Erwin Mill parking lot on 9th Street. Her options were to either take a shuttle or walk for 20 minutes to get from the parking lot to her office. Now, she parks in the GC lot, which is much closer to her office, and still pays the same amount.

She argued that it is unfair that the fee for both parking lots is the same, especially since the Erwin Mill lot did not even have a gate.

Like Kuehn, Overby has had to park in the H section of the GC lot after spots were allocated to provide alternative parking for other parking lots. She usually needs to drive around for a while before she can find a spot. One morning, she was unable to find any empty spot and had to call Parking and Transportation Services, which sent the Duke University Police Department to resolve the issue. “I feel like Duke should appreciate their employees more,� Overby said. “They focus a lot on taking care of the students, but don’t care enough about the employees. Parking is just one part of that.�

CHINA

describe being thrown into what feels like an experiment where we are both simultaneously test subjects and scientists.

The understandable cliché of describing us as “pioneers” at a “Start-Up University” isn’t lost on me. But in the three months since arriving on campus, I can attest to the fact that great things are percolating at Duke Kunshan—and they’re driven by the necessity to create something unique and uncharted for a blended, global-minded student body.

Like many of my peers, I looked forward to helping to architect the direction of a university, which would not have been an option had I stuck with the typical college track on which most of my high school classmates embarked. Here, however, we are surrounded by opportunities to effect change rapidly, and make a mark on a university still in its infancy—so we jump in.

When the student kitchen needed a set of guidelines for usage, I wrote the policy alongside a few Italian students eager to get cooking. Noting the lack of a “creative campus” ethos, I helped initiate a campus improvement committee that will be meeting to develop vibrant outdoor spaces for students. I’ve also become heavily involved with student affairs, helping launch our student center. Through this, I’m coming to find that not unlike a startup in the business world, an entire organizational infrastructure network is being built from the ground up, and students are the primary drivers.

On top of intensive, Duke-approved courses in Chinese debate, international political economy and environmental crisis management, DKU students take meetings with administrators to discuss its consent policy, work with Operations to plan the logistics of running a “Where Love Is Illegal” LGBT-themed art exhibition and help professors find ways to improve the Chinese learning experience.

While our compadres at Duke in North Carolina were hitting up their first frat parties

and basketball games, we were figuring out how to get a Chinese bank account, how to order in restaurants where all the items are listed in Mandarin and trying to set up our dorm rooms without a nearby Target or Bed Bath & Beyond. If I had a yuan for every discussion about how to improve the “food situation,” I’d be rich. But I digress...

There is an ambitious agenda for crafting a campus culture that strikes to blend Duke’s traditions into the local context of China, establish new traditions, and to create a unique university identity. Navigating such cross-continental barriers and working across languages and cultures to redefine an elite university experience calls upon us all to go above and beyond being just “regular college students.” We all have a role to play in our Start-Up University.

I would be remiss if I failed to give credit to the OGs of the Class of 2022, DKU’s original “pioneer” undergraduate class, and previous years of graduate and Global Learning Semester students, all of whom helped to lay the foundation upon which my class so firmly stands. Learning to adapt to living in a new culture, forging new friendships and being the first group of students to experience any initial systemic shocks was anything but easy, and yet they continue to pursue creating a better University with zeal.

Much remains to be done for Duke Kunshan to reach its lofty aspirations—clubs and organizations to start, policies to enact, buildings to construct. But it’s clear to me that with the “start-up” mindset already enshrined within the University’s ethos, the collective impact of our actions on student life and campus culture is setting the stage for a modern, global sister university that the Duke community will be proud to call home.

Charlie Colasurdo is a first-year in the second-ever graduating class of the Duke Kunshan campus’s undergraduate program, located outside Shanghai, China.

THIR-TRE FOR 30

Tre Jones’ career night leads Blue Devils past a pesky Georgia State

By Evan Kolin Assistant Blue Zone Editor

Desperately needing a spark early in the second half with the score tied at 40, Tre Jones stepped up to the 3-point line with a fearless look in his eyes.

Seconds later, the sophomore point guard’s fourth 3-pointer of the night hit nothing but net, giving Duke a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.

That image of a dominant Jones was a common theme throughout No. 2 Duke’s 74-63 win against Georgia State Friday night, as Jones carried the Blue Devils to their 150th consecutive nonconference 63 victory at Cameron GSU DUKE 74 Indoor Stadium. The Apple Valley, Minn., native notched a career-high 31 points on 10-of19 shooting from the floor, dishing out six assists and adding four steals. “[Jones] put on a hell of a performance tonight,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

“He’s like a running back for crying out loud, and then he’s still playing on the defensive end. He had a great performance tonight. He’s one of the best players in the country and he showed it tonight.”

It seemed as if the sophomore point guard couldn’t miss from anywhere, hitting

The highlight— as if there was just one highlight—came with about 14 minutes remaining in the contest, when Jones slashed inside yet again, drew the foul and banked in the layup in front of a roaring Cameron crowd. The and-one put Duke (4-0) up double-digits for the first time of the evening.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Despite playing just nine minutes of Duke’s win against Central Arkansas Tuesday after leaving with a head injury, Jones came out scorching hot. Six minutes into the contest, he already had eight points, finishing the first half with a game-high 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the floor.

“I think it just came throughout the game, really,” Jones said of his aggressiveness on

offense. “I didn’t really tell myself or anything, I was just taking what the defense gave me and that’s just how they decided to play tonight and shots were falling.”

But the sophomore point guard wasn’t the only Blue Devil who had a career performance Friday night. Vernon Carey Jr. posted an impressive game of his own, notching his second-straight double-double with 20 points and 14 rebounds. The freshman center had 11 points and nine rebounds by halftime.

“It has been a process for sure,” Jones said of Carey’s development in the post. “I think for him, someone that size, it’s hard to really figure everything out in the post in high school because you don’t really get the competition, I mean the physical competition for sure—he was always beating kids up in high school. So getting here in college, and getting someone else that can bang with him down low, he has to learn right away. But he’s done a great job and he’s always working.”

Joey Baker also had his most impressive game as a Blue Devil, totaling eight points in 15 minutes. But perhaps Baker’s biggest attribution to the contest wasn’t shown on the stat sheet, as the sophomore forward’s floor See TRE on Page 8

Baker cooks up energy in Emmy Duerr breaks out Cameron with floor slap in Duke’s postseason win

By Ramona Naseri Associate Sports Editor

Friday night’s contest between Georgia State and Duke remained tight into the second half, but an electrifying floor slap from Blue Devil sophomore Joey Baker pulsated energy that served as a turning point in the game for Duke.

To set the scene, the Blue Devils were having a slow start compared to the upstart Panthers for much of the evening, relying on the two-man game of Tre Jones and Vernon Carey Jr., nursing only a single-

digit lead with 14 minutes remaining in the second half.

Duke’s NCAA title hopes cut short once again

By Cam Polo Associate Sports Editor

For the fourth consecutive year, a oncepromising Duke season will end in the first weekend of the NCAA tournament.

Early postseason exits have become a regular theme for the eighth-ranked Blue Devils, though this loss marks the first time Duke did not advance past the first round since 2012.

It was a tough Iowa team that came out on top 3-2 Friday afternoon at Karen Shelton Field in Chapel Hill. The sixth-ranked Hawkeyes got things going early, putting up three first half goals.

3 To their credit, the IOWA DUKE 2 Blue Devils fought back with everything they had, as most players slumped over at the final buzzer from exhaustion. Duke’s efforts earned itselves two goals, but it could not put in a third to tie the game as the clock ticked down on the fourth quarter and the Blue Devils’ season. “[The two halves] were night and day,” Duke head coach Pam Bustin told GoDuke. com. “It’s kind of a mystery. We came out and maybe we were really excited and maybe we felt that we were going to get right on the attacking foot like we wanted to, but we did that with disregard to the gameplan and that

got us in trouble.”

Haley Schleicher put the first ball in the back of the cage for Duke (13-7), scoring 7:05 into the third frame off a penalty corner. Duke took 11 shots Friday, putting seven on goal, but the first attack that caused the Hawkeye defense trouble came from Hannah Miller, who sent the ball into the circle looking for a Blue Devil stick. The Iowa goalie took a foul trying to get to the ball, setting up the penalty corner necessary for Schleicher to send her shot into the back of the cage.

Duke came to life after that, fighting all of the way to the end and ripping four shots on net in the final fifteen minutes. Lily Posternak struck pay dirt with about six minutes remaining in the game, tapping in a rebound off of the initial corner shot. This was all of the threat that the Blue Devils could muster, though, as Iowa cleared the ball down the field with less than a minute to go to seal the victory, and give it a date with No. 1 North Carolina Sunday afternoon.

The Hawkeyes (16-4) got things going promptly, cashing in only five minutes into the contest with a strong attack. Leah Zellner got the final touch on Iowa’s first goal off an assist

by Ciara Smith. The Hawkeyes didn’t take long to add to their lead, with Smith grabbing her second scoresheet entry on the day only 10 minutes into the game. The Blue Devils were reeling and Iowa kept pressing headed into the

“We didn’t move the ball with patient possession the way we knew we could and the way we play and the way we have our game,” Bustin told GoDuke.com. “We weren’t sharp on the counter and that led to two of the corners.

And we didn’t execute tactically what we were

supposed to do on defense corners.”

Smith added another off a rebound with five minutes to play in the first half, and suddenly it was 3-0 Hawkeyes at halftime.

This proved to be a deficit too great for the Blue Devils, who will head into Thanksgiving break without a title game berth for another year.

Blue Devils dismantled by lowly Syracuse at home

By Evan Kolin Assistant Blue Zone Editor

With Duke in a likely must-win game in order to secure bowl eligibility, one would expect the Blue Devils to come out fighting with a sense of urgency.

Yet, when Syracuse took over for its first offensive possession, it certainly didn’t appear that way.

The Orange promptly tore apart Duke’s defense, with quarterback Tommy DeVito finding a wide-open Trishton Jackson for a 50-yard gain on the team’s first snap. Three plays later, an identical slant route from Jackson resulted in an 18-yard Syracuse touchdown.

That opening score was just the start of the most embarrassing Duke loss in an already disappointing 2019 CUSE 49 season, with the Blue DUKE 6 Devils falling 49-6 to Syracuse in front of an extremely sparse crowd at Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday. The Orange victory was their first against a Power Five team this year.

“There’s not a lot to say that’s not obvious,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “It seems like now I say the same thing every week here—that we practiced well. I’m tired of hearing myself say that—obviously we haven’t.”

While a lack of urgency plagued Duke in the first half, it was turnovers that buried the Blue Devils out of the locker room, with two Harris interceptions and a Mataeo Durant fumble on consecutive possessions gifting Syracuse three straight touchdowns in the third quarter, building an Orange lead the Blue Devils just

The Blue Devils were blown out by a subpar Syracuse team, a low point for Duke’s 2019 season. couldn’t recover from.

At first, it did seem like Duke (4-6, 2-4 in the ACC) was getting off to a hot start.

Harris and company marched right down the field on the Blue Devils’ first offensive possession, breaking into Syracuse territory after just four plays. But the team’s offense soon derailed. Two incompletions and a false start brought the team to third-and-15, forcing the Blue Devils to use an early timeout to talk things over.

A run up the middle ensued, which expectedly did not convert the first down.

A.J. Reed missed the 44-yard field goal try— just his second miss of the year—handing the Orange the ball and setting up Syracuse’s first

touchdown drive.

On Syracuse’s second offensive possession, running back Moe Neal decided to take part in the action, breaking free for long runs of 33 and 35-yards to set up the Orange (4-6, 1-5) at the goal-line. DeVito ended up rushing it in for Syracuse’s second score.

The Blue Devils defense struggled mightily against the run once again. While DeVito completed a meager 6-of-15 passes for 105 yards, the Orange ran all over Duke, totaling 286 yards and four scores on the ground.

“I was shocked that they ran the ball as effectively as they did against us,” Cutcliffe said.

“I didn’t think that could happen.”

Even when it didn’t turn the ball over, Duke’s offense continued to prove unable to put points on the scoreboard. The Blue Devils averaged less than three yards per rush, with Quentin Harris completing just 19-of-36 passes for 157 yards and no touchdowns.

“We were definitely moving the ball well offensively,” Harris said. “Just one penalty here, a missed yardage play here, a lost yardage play there. I think we just have to do a better job of finishing drives, but I thought we moved the ball pretty well offensively. Had a couple of unfortunate turnovers, but for the most part I thought we moved the ball well [and] just didn’t finish drives.”

A shanked punt was the only thing that could get the Blue Devils going, with a 31yard Sterling Hofrichter kick gifting great field position for the Blue Devils at the Syracuse 37yard line. Nevertheless, Duke ended up settling for a 31-yard field goal, with another Reed kick just before halftime—this one for a career-high 51 yards—providing Duke its only other score of the day.

The Blue Devils will travel to Wake Forest next Saturday, now needing to win their final two games of the year to secure bowl eligibility.

Duke could still play in a bowl game with five wins, as its Academic Progress Rate score would beat out a majority of the country’s other five-win teams.

“Words aren’t going to fix this, blame isn’t going to fix this, looking for answers somewhere, listening for answers isn’t going to fix this,” Cutcliffe said. “Intense study and intense work, and everybody has to be accountable starting with me.”

TRE FROM PAGE 6 slap early in the second half fired up both his teammates and the crowd.

The moment signified a turning point for Duke—Jones’ electric and-one layup came on the Blue Devils’ ensuing offensive possession.

Just a few minutes later, Baker sank two 3-pointers within a minute span, nearly stealing the show away from Jones. By then, everyone within the confines of Cameron Indoor seemed to forget that Georgia State (12) actually led 34-31 with a minute remaining in the first half, anchored by 12 first half points from guard Kane Williams and 10 first half turnovers for the Blue Devils.

“I thought [the Panthers] were tougher than

we were, by far, in the first half,” Krzyzewski said. “We were not ready for that level of intensity from our opponent, and they played with that intensity throughout, and obviously in the second half we matched or exceeded it, and that’s why we won.”

One aspect Duke struggled with throughout the entire game, however, was outside shooting. Outside of Baker and Jones, the Blue Devils shot just 1-of-15 from downtown. The trio of Baker, Carey and Jones also combined for over 79 percent of the team’s points. With a team supposed to be focusing on offensive balance, that’s a number that has to improve.

After a six-day break, Duke will continue the Empire 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden, taking on California Thursday at 9 p.m. in New York City.

Jones had no issue getting to the bucket Friday night, though many of his teammates struggled.

BAKER FROM PAGE 6

This was the best game of Baker’s career thus far, and he will have to follow through with this momentum to fire up his teammates as well as himself throughout the rest of the season.

“I don’t think it was confidence,” said Baker. “I just think it’s what the team needed today.”

and up into the stands. He and his teammates wanted more, eventually pulling away for a 7463 win.

“It’s kind of just one of those feelings on defense,” Jones said. “You’ve got the crowd behind you, you’ve got the momentum, and everyone is really locked in on defense and you just give a floor slap. Everyone that knows Joey knows that’s how he is, he can spark us at any time. A lot of people think it’s just with his threes but the energy he brings on defense with the floor slap led to a stop and a couple more buckets, so he definitely did bring us the energy tonight and that was huge.”

Jones was fired up with emotion from Baker’s lead, and, after a big stop, the sophomore guard went on to make an and-one on the other side of the court.

“That’s huge thing for Duke basketball over the years, the floor slap on defense. So with Joey leading it out there, I had to follow his lead and I think that sparked us a little bit for sure,” said Jones.

Back-to-back 3-pointers from Baker followed and his confidence may have even inspired teammate Cassius Stanley to break through and actually complete one of his attempts from beyond the arc, as Stanley connected on his only make from beyond the arc minutes after Baker’s pair of treys.

“It felt good. I think Tre found me both times, I told him I’d be ready when he drove, so they collapsed on him,” said Baker. “He was Mary Helen Wood | Photography Editor having a good night, so they closed in on him Joey Baker has seemingly played his way into the Blue Devils’ rotation. and I was open and knocked it down.”

energy to us, [both] offensively and defensively.

She’s earned the right to get on the field and so we’re very very proud of her for taking advantage of her opportunity to come in the NCAA first round, and score two goals. That’s something she won’t ever forget.”

Already up 2-0, all Duke had to do was keep its foot on the gas to cruise to a victory. The Blue Devils suffered a brief scare three minutes after Duerr’s goal when Utah (8-9-4) was in a near oneon-one situation with Duke goalkeeper Brooke Heinsohn but, as she has so often one this season, Heinsohn found a way to make the save and keep the momentum with the Blue Devils. “[Heinsohn]’s done that all year for us,” Church said. “She’s really come up when we need her. I think Brooke is very underrated. I was disappointed she wasn’t an all-ACC player.

She’s played at that level. She hasn’t gotten a lot of love from the national people. She’s been really really good for us this year and I have a hard time finding a lot of better goalkeepers in the ACC than her.”

The win was exactly what Duke needed heading into its second-round matchup against third-seeded Wisconsin. The Blue Devils will get to avoid the cold, as they’ll be traveling to Los Angeles for their game Friday.

so this is just really huge.”

After losing two games in a row for the first time since 2015, the Blue Devils needed to get into a rhythm early in order to advance out of the opening round of the NCAA tournament for the ninth-straight time. They came into the game well-rested, having not played in 12 days, but rather than coming out strong, it took some time to shake off the rust.

“I thought we were okay in the first half,” said Duke head coach Robbie Church. “I thought we were pretty average, kept giving the ball away, kept trying to do things we weren’t capable of doing, playing longer balls than we really needed to do instead of moving the ball and moving them sideways and then penetrating on the next pass. [I] didn’t think we were great in the box.

It’s been like this a lot where its 1-0 at halftime or 0-0 at halftime. We dominated teams [and] we should put those teams away.”

The Blue Devils (9-3-7) certainly dominated the time of possession in the first half, but they couldn’t seem to convert on any of the opportunities they were creating for themselves, despite sophomores Mackenzie Pluck and Delaney Graham putting together a number of good runs and crosses that should have led to shots.

That is, until the 31st minute, when Duerr introduced herself to the rest of the country.

After Pluck sent yet another cross into the box, a perfectly positioned Duerr found the back of the net, putting the Blue Devils up 1-0, a score that would hold until the half.

The second half was a different story for Duke. On the offensive side of the ball, the Blue Devils looked cleaner and it didn’t take long for those changes to pay dividends. Once again, it was Duerr cashing in the check, picking up her second goal of the evening five minutes into the second half.

“She works so hard, she presses, she’s getting better, she’s getting more confident—I knew she was going to get a big goal,”The said Church aboutSyndication BellaSales Bann | Associate Photography Editor New York Times Corporation 620 Eighth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10018broke out Friday night.

was experiencing an allergic reaction, but that was only one of the many similar cases I heard.

Senior Kezia Matson has a blood regulation condition that, when left untreated, can cause chest pain, racing heart rate, fatigue and lightheadedness especially when standing up or walking—symptoms she had been experiencing for over a year. Last semester, she visited the ER three times due to extreme symptoms and accompanying fevers.

Matson tried to connect with a cardiologist in the Duke hospital, but she was told that as a Duke student, she needed a referral from Student Health.

At Student Health, a nurse practitioner saw in her records that she was previously diagnosed with anxiety, and decided that her symptoms were a manifestation of the mental illness.

Matson then explained that in the preceding summer, she tried to recover by stepping away from stress and working on a farm, and yet her symptoms continued to worsen. And that light physical activity exacerbates her symptoms, which would not be the case with anxiety. But the NP would not budge.

“She was very dismissive when I tried to give my thoughts,” Matson said. “It made her more defensive in the fact that she believed she was right, instead of taking in what I was saying.”

Matson read online that a tilt-table test—changing a patient’s position quickly and seeing how their heart rate and blood pressure respond—can be used to assess her symptoms, so she asked the NP to perform the test on her.

“She was very unhappy that I asked her to do it,” Matson recalled.

The test results indicated that her heart rate and blood pressure changing dramatically, but the NP insisted that the numbers didn’t show anything.

Instead of referring Matson to a cardiologist as she requested, she referred her to a psychiatrist, which she already had.

Matson later learned that she should’ve been given a positive test result and further testing.

In the weeks following the appointment, she worked on mitigating her supposed anxiety.

“I really tried to tweak it from the standpoint of diet and wellness and when I didn’t see results, it made me feel so guilty and frustrated,” Matson said. “I was being mad at myself for trying to control something that I can’t control.”

Finally, she met with an off-campus general practitioner, who immediately referred her to a cardiologist.

Student Health’s misdiagnosis delayed Matson from receiving necessary treatment and medication, negatively impacting her academic, social and emotional well-being. The gaslighting, which led to her questioning and blaming herself for her physical suffering, may potentially have longer lasting effect.

A 2015 study interviewed women who had been hospitalized but avoided following up or obtaining routine care. Many cited anxiety about “being perceived as complaining about minor concerns” and “feeling rebuffed or treated with disrespect.”

Another senior—who asked that I only disclose his year—recognizes how damaging healthcare gaslighting can be, after he tumbled down the stairs and hit his head on the hand railing of a lecture hall.

He had had six concussions, so based on his experience, he was sure that this fall led to a seventh.

The doctor at Student Health, however, noted that he had a history of anxiety and was only “being anxious about having a concussion.”

He then asked the doctor to perform a concussion test, which he refused.

“This guy was so cocky about it,” he said. “He was like, you need to be knocked around to get a concussion. I’ve slipped in the shower and got a concussion.”

Without a concussion diagnosis, he continued to do activities that would worsen a brain injury— reading, looking at screens frequently and engaging in physical activity. As much as he pushed himself to work harder, his symptoms—memory loss, headache, fatigue, light sensitivity—caused him to frequently miss class and deadlines.

He recalled feeling conflicted between what the doctor said and how his body felt.

“I was like, I definitely have a concussion. I’m concussed. But then I was like, oh maybe I’m just anxious and they’re right and I’m overthinking it,” he said. “I was alternating between ‘I feel horrible’ and blaming myself for feeling horrible.”

A week and a half later, his symptoms became so severe that he called his mom and asked her to take him to a neurologist, who quickly diagnosed him with a concussion.

The injury led him to STINF all of his midterms and miss another week and a half of school—almost three weeks of class missed in total.

“I was struggling to catch up for the rest of the semester, and I don’t think it would’ve been that bad if I had been told right away that I was concussed,” he said.

Student Health’s misdiagnosis and gaslighting not only impacted his academics and potentially caused permanent neurological damage, but also, ironically, caused him considerable anxiety.

The doctor’s words unleashed an odd mind game: He would think that he had a concussion, then become upset with himself for worsening his symptoms by doing what the doctor told him not to—“being anxious about having a concussion.”

Student Health’s deficiencies can have dangerous impact.

A psychological misdiagnosis can make a rare disease patient’s actual diagnostic delayed 2.5 to 14 times—0.5 to 12 times more than a non-psychological misdiagnosis—according to a survey of 12,000 European patients. That is time in which the disease can spread or further compromise the body.

A student’s record of mental illness does not provide an excuse to bypass one’s medical duties.

Anxiety is not a Band-Aid that can be stuck onto any set of symptoms without further testing. By invalidating a patient’s suffering and undermining the voice in their own head, one is doing what Charles Boyer did to Ingrid Bergman—dimming and brightening the gaslights, but telling her she’s just imagining things.

Good riddance, Boxed Water

I

n December of 2016, the House of Representatives’ Education and Labor Committee published an article which explains Betsy DeVos’ direct connection to the convenience water company, Boxed Water is Better. However, this knowledge apparently did not go very far, as since 2016, the company has continued to grow, and its distribution sales more than doubled in 2013. This fall semester 2019, Boxed Water is Better had even made its way onto Duke’s campus at Saladelia locations.

Sophie Laettner BETTER LAETTNER THAN NEVER DeVos is the chairwoman of the Windquest Group, an investment management firm which claims to “invest in people who care and aim to make our world a better place,” but is arguably just a for-profit organization using a greenwashing technique to make consumers think that they care about the environment.

Fortunately, Boxed Water is Better was only on campus for a few weeks, and will no longer be sold at Saladelia locations. Jared Jonsdotter, who works in Vondy, told me that they aren’t selling boxed water anymore because they saw a 30% decrease in sales. We don’t know exactly whether Saladelia stopped using boxed water only because of this drop in sales, or because Saladelia realized that Betsy Devos owns Boxed Water is Better. Perhaps sales decreased because Duke students opposed Boxed Water for ethical reasons, or maybe they simply did not like the taste. Either way, boxed water is out.

We need to continue to be aware of the brands that we give money to, to be conscious consumers. Don’t fall for the rebranding attempt to brainwash you. Boxed water isn’t better, it is just rebranded water. Vaping isn’t better than smoking, Juul just rebranded it.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2019 | 11

Boxed Water is just one of the companies that is part of the Windquest Group, an investment group owned by Dick & Betsy DeVos. And there’s really no doubt that she is part of this company, since the image on Betsy DeVos’s Twitter banner contained product placement of Boxed Water, until it was eventually taken down due to conflict of interest issues.

The biggest irony of the DeVos Family owning Boxed Water is Better is that they are major contributors to Governor Rick Snyder of Michigan, and other state politicians who support policies which grant Nestle Corporation the right to continue stealing water from Michigan municipality sources for their Ice Mountain bottled water brand. This kind of action perpetuates water crises, such as the one seen in Flint, Michigan.

The cool, slim look of Boxed Water is Better’s packaging is a marketing scheme, and while its purported environmental agenda is something I can support, there is little evidence of Boxed Water’s commitment to these actions. The water does ship better, and cardboard is certainly more compostable than plastic, so using cardboard to store water may reduce waste, but the Devos family and their political constituents are clearly using profits from this water company in their agenda to privatize publiclyowned resources, such as fresh water, and downsize functions of local government. In Detroit, the Devos family gives political and monetary support to an Emergency Management System, which, since 2000, has continued to outsource the state’s water services to private companies, and effectively shut off water to thousands of homes in low-income communities.

In February 2016, Boxed Water is Better released a statement saying they were going to donate “11,520 units” to help the Flint water crisis, which is a tiny drop of water in the ocean needed to provide water for the city. This amount of aid, which Boxed Water did not even follow up on, did not seek to help the Flint water crisis; rather, it was another selfish marketing campaign; Boxed Water Is Better used the Flint water crisis to promote sales of their

convenience water product.

In 2017, convenience water industry sales reached 16 billion, up ten percent as concern over the safety of tap water rose after highprofile contamination in Flint, Michigan.

Americans continue to drink bottled water for fear of what contaminants found in tap water. However, bottled water isn’t necessarily more pure than tap. Convenience water companies continue to make a profit, without even being legally required to disclose their water contamination reports, for a good that should be universally available. We need more water regulation, a move towards improving public water filtration systems, and away from giving money to these corporations which pull safe water from low-income communities, and advance a policy agenda which allows them to continue to do it.

What’s really better, and perhaps the only environmentallyconscious way to consume water, is to drink out of a reusable water bottle. Everyone should have one by now, and honestly if you need one, here’s the secret: hit up any Duke lost and found, and you’ll find dozens of options. I found a Hydroflask in lost and found my sophomore year and have been using it ever since.

Soap, hot water and a bit of elbow grease later and you’re one step closer to avoiding the convenience water market altogether.

Now all you have to do is fill it up. As far as I can tell, everyone’s favorite water is the fruit-infused water in the Broadhead center we affectionately call “woooo water.” Next, those fancy water-fountains that you find in airports—they’re everywhere now.

Municipal water should be better taken care of and should use these high-tech water filtration systems used by the convenience water companies, and thus, the market for convenience water should be erased. Everyone should have access to free, safe, potable tap water.

Duke’s unyielding sugar rush

couple days ago, I decided to grab a cup of coffee from Vondy. A very simple task, to be sure. As I approached the cashier, however, my eyes encountered a grotesque, yet captivating sight.

But Marketplace is not the only offender.

In the Brodhead Center, look to the sweets offered at the checkout section of an eatery.

Watch out for Il Forno’s Chocolate Chunk cookie with 34g of sugar per serving. There

Akshaj Turebylu WAYS AND MEANS Directly next to the cashier was a pile—nay, a mound—of oversized pastries. Scones, cakes, the most buttered and sugared breads I’d seen in ages. My shock at such an aggressive display of sugar took a long time to wane. Even as I sipped my coffee, the image of the stacked carbohydrates continued to haunt me.

For those who don’t have as cultivated an aversion to sugar as I do, this sight may not have meant anything. To be clear, I have nothing against people who buy large scones with their afternoon coffee. What I do have a problem with is the overabundance of sugar across campus.

After this encounter that so disturbed my sensibilities, I was on the watch for refined sugar around Duke’s campus. The first place of interest was, rather obviously, Marketplace. What was Duke’s food policy in a buffet-style situation?

To my surprise and disappointment, sugar is ubiquitous in Marketplace. For breakfast, there are regular pastries (like muffins or croissants), sugary cereals, chocolate milk (40g of sugar per glass), and fruit juices (42-49g of sugar per glass. Orange juice is 10g per glass); pancakes and french toast (8g sugar) with syrup (37 g of sugar per ladle) or fruit compote (17 g of sugar per ladle for strawberry) are common breakfast items, too.

Marketplace does offer healthy options alongside the sugar; there are bins full of fruit. Simple vegetarian and vegan options are always available. Plain vegetables and fruits are regularly served. Simultaneously, however, piles of dessert (cakes, ice cream, and more) are laid out in an infinite stream.

are smoothies from the Loop (a strawberry shake has 84 g of sugar). Even Red Mango drinks are filled with sugar (a 16oz Strawberry Energizer has 42g of sugar).

The stockade of fructose doesn’t end outside the food hall—it is bolstered by the regular vending machines throughout Duke’s campus. These are filled with snacks most people know to be unhealthy. Even snacks people might assume to be healthy, like Clif Bars, have about 16g of included sugars.

I hope I’m not sounding too much like a nagging parent. The truth is, however, we are inundated by sugar. Some of you may not care about this state of affairs. Sure, sugar is supposedly “bad” for us, but what does it really do?

The specific problem at hand is the regular consumption of large amounts of added sugars without fiber. These added sugars almost always contain fructose, a compound digested in the liver. Just as too much alcohol damages the liver, a similar process unfolds with overconsumption of added sugars. Humans were not meant to consume so much fructose; in the wild, humans mostly ate sugar in the form of fruit (which has fiber to slow digestion).

This overuse of the liver can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

About 31% of American adults have NAFLD; NASH is the third largest reason for liver transplants in the United States.

Overconsumption of sugar is linked to heart disease and diabetes. Not only that, but sugar consumption can drive weight gain, as it can disrupt leptin, a hormone responsible for

regulating our eating habits.

Are we over-consuming at Duke? Sugar is not required to survive, and so no minimum amount of sugar is prescribed; rather, sugar is described in regards to its maximum recommended daily intake. For adult females, this is 25 g of added sugar a day; for males it is 38 g. This means a female first-year who gets a glass of juice for breakfast has already exceeded her daily maximum by almost 17 g of sugar. If she decides to eat a pancake too, she will have eaten double her recommended daily amount of sugar in a single meal.

At the heart of the problem is that most students are unaware of the amount of sugar we consume. The only reason I found the sugar content in most of the foods listed here is because Duke publishes nutrition information on their dining website. My intuition is that an overwhelming majority of students have no idea about the sugar content of the food they consume daily. How can you control something you aren’t aware of?

Another major issue at hand is the ease and abundance with which sugar is available.

Research has shown that sugar leads to cravings, chemical changes in the brain’s reward system and can lead to withdrawal symptoms if denied.

How much willpower can each student be expected to have? In dealing with multiple tiers of stress—academic, social, personal— having to realign one’s eating habits is another added task—and a difficult one at that. It’s much too easy for the stressed organic chemistry student to grab a glass of chocolate milk to feel better about an upcoming midterm; our natural tendency is to search for these comfort foods. When they are spread out for the taking, how often will we be able to resist?

Let me make a few things clear. I’m not here to judge the morality of eating added sugars. We all eat sugary foods and drinks occasionally; it’s entirely our choice to eat what we want. We choose how to treat our own bodies.

The point I want to make, however, is that Duke has a responsibility to its student

body to be cognizant of the medical issues underlying sugar consumption and the psychological basis upon which people become hooked to it. Sugary options should be available if a student wishes to choose to have dessert. But should sugar be so easily available at all meals? Should it be sold without any labels?

Last month, a group of concerned faculty and leadership submitted a letter to the Chronicle urging for a ban of vapes and e-cigarettes on campus. They were concerned with “the highly addictive and life-threatening effects of vaping” and made their case in a succinct letter. I’m not here to debate this policy in specific; I don’t know enough about vaping to discuss it. What did interest me, however, was the interest medical and health sciences faculty took in promoting student health in this scenario. It is comforting to know that Duke has access to leading experts in the medical field when they design health policy for undergraduates.

Given this, however, I feel Duke has the resources and information available to establish a healthier food culture on campus. Why should the danger of vaping be weighted above that of sugar overconsumption? In many ways, more people are affected by sugar overconsumption.

Almost everyone eats sugar—only about 21% of college students vape. Beyond that, Duke has control (and therefore, responsibility) over the sugar it makes available to students; imagine if Duke were selling vapes and then ignored the health issues surrounding this decision.

For students, I urge you to read more on the effects of sugar consumption. There are plenty of video resources that do a great job of breaking down the chemical effects of sugar.

Not only that, videos regarding how sugar is abused by food companies can be useful tools in combating personal sugar overconsumption.

At the very least, I hope that you are a little more careful when you go to get that “healthy” fruit juice in Marketplace.
