ONE HUNDRED AND TWELFTH YEAR, ISSUE 18

Custodian, former Trustee honored at Founders’ Day Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle In this year’s Founders’ Day Convocation in the Chapel, Oscar Dantzler, custodian of the Duke Chapel, received the University Medal, Duke’s highest honor for distinguished service.

The annual ceremony featured an address by Bruce Karsh, Trinity ‘77, who is the founder and chief investment officer of Oaktree Capital Management and also received the University Medal.

Other awards presented included the Distinguished Alumni Award, which went to Trustee Emerita Kimberly Jenkins, and the Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award, given to Elizabeth Bucholz, a lecturer in the department of biomedical engineering.

“I can feel my heart beating now,” Dantzler said after the ceremony. “When they told me I was getting this award, it was like a dream. And I’m feeling that dream right now.”

Dantzler has served as the custodian of Duke Chapel for nearly two decades. After serving in the United States Air Force, he came to Duke from New York in 1997.

During the ceremony, Dantzler received a standing ovation when President Richard Brodhead presented him with the medal.

Brodhead elaborated on Dantzler’s position as being more than a custodian.

He described Dantzler as a “guardian” and “caretaker” both of the Chapel and those who happen to wander into it. Brodhead further added that Dantzler’s defining characteristic is his trustworthiness—

namely the empathy and care he has provided to students.

The other University Medal was awarded to Karsh, who graduated from Duke with a degree in economics and also established the University’s pre-law society.

Karsh joined the Board of Directors of Duke University’s investment management company DUMAC in 2002, chairing the group from 2005 to 2014. Upon Brodhead’s

request, Karsh said, he also served as the co-chair of the Duke Forward campaign.

Over the years, Karsh has donated about $100 million to Duke, mostly to support financial aid programs.

“When—not if—when you are successful after you graduate from Duke, please remember to give back, whether it is Duke or some other place,” Karsh said in his speech.

Both Karsh and Jenkins have served on the Board of Trustees. Jenkins, who joined the Board of Trustees in 2001, acted as chair of the Institutional Advancement Committee. Brodhead explained that Jenkins often shined as a champion for women’s issues on the Board.

In 2011, Jenkins left the Board to pursue the position of senior advisor to the president and provost for innovation and entrepreneurship at Duke. Since then, she has developed the I&E curriculum and the Duke in Silicon Valley study away program.

Along with working on the Board and as provost, Jenkins has also made her mark on Duke as vice chair of the Kenan Institute of Ethics Advisory Board and a member of the Duke University Health System Board.

Like Jenkins, Bucholz has also served as a University faculty member. In 2008, Bucholz received her Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Duke and currently teaches both undergraduate and graduate classes, while also serving as the associate director of undergraduate studies in the Pratt School of Engineering.

Brodhead described Bucholz’s ability to connect with her students in innovative ways, often integrating various objects and technologies in her explanations to illustrate concepts.

“I have never had another teacher who cares as much about each and every one of her students as much as Dr. Bucholz, and her commitment to her job as an educator has inspired me to pursue a career as a college professor,” one student wrote in the nomination of Bucholz.

Visions of Freedom pilots living learning community initiative Nidhila Masha The Chronicle The new living learning community may be expanding, providing an alternative to selective living groups, Greek life and independent housing.

Living learning communities offer students an opportunity to live in a close-knit environment with a focus on intellectual engagement without the pressures of going through a stressful rush process. Visions of Freedom, a pilot LLC, made its debut this semester and currently hosts 18 students interested in philosophy, economics and political science. Although many are past members of the FOCUS cluster with the same name, being a part of the FOCUS program was not a requirement for membership. Anyone interested in political science was encouraged to apply. Many

of their events, like the first presidential debate watch party, are also open to nonmembers.

“I think that what I like most about it is the fact that the people that I lived with—similar to FOCUS—gave me almost the same sort of academic engagement that I get normally in the classroom,” said sophomore Cullen Tyndall, treasurer of the Visions of Freedom student executive board.

Senior James Ferencsik, president of the Visions of Freedom student executive board, noted that if this pilot proves a success, other FOCUS clusters might start their own living learning communities.

Duke Student Government President Tara Bansal, a senior, added that students and faculty from other focus groups have already expressed interest in creating their own such communities.

Bansal noted that she is currently leading an assessment of the LLC to evaluate

whether community is forming, what types of support the LLC needs to thrive and areas for improvement.

The Visions of Freedom LLC accepted only 18 students this year after an application process. Bansal explained that new members will be accepted as seniors graduate and spaces open up in specific houses.

“Each year we will add about twenty students until an entire dorm is filled with LLC students,” she wrote in an email.

One of the main differences between LLCs and other non-independent housing options is that LLCs emphasize nonselectivity. Members of the student executive board are considering approving future applications on a lottery basis.

“The recruitment process can be upsetting for students because it can feel like such a personal rejection,” Bansal, who See COMMUNITY on Page 5

Three Duke women take A chick magnet: Gardens hypes chickens with naming contest on human trafficking Cara Leigh Downey The Chronicle Three high-ranking government officials outlined how everyday consumers can help combat human trafficking Thursday.

Susan Coppedge, Trinity ‘88 and the United States ambassador-at-large to monitor and combat trafficking in persons; Andrea Wilson, MPP/MBA ‘12 and a foreign officer in the State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons and Amy Pope, Law ‘09 and deputy assistant to the President and deputy homeland security advisor on the National Security Council, spoke at the Sanford School of Public Policy about the government’s role in monitoring and policing trafficking.

Coppedge—who was appointed to her current position by President Barack Obama in 2015—said her own inspiration came after joining the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia and prosecuting trafficking cases.

“Hearing those young women’s stories, I couldn’t stop doing the work,” she said. “Just meeting those young girls and feeling I could make a difference for them was really what got me started in this. I just wanted to make sure they were heard.”

The panel was moderated by Judith Kelley, the Kevin D. Gorter professor of public policy, and centered around the panelists’ expertise.

Kelley explained that according to the United Nations, trafficking involves “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion.”

The crime is highly integrated into broader global concerns, including economic pressures, immigration and the refugee crisis. Individuals who are trafficked, Pope said, often end up in forced labor.

“We as consumers fuel trafficking,” she said. “[Consumers should] demand that See TRAFFICKING on Page 5

Claire Ballentine The Chronicle Dogs may no longer be allowed in the Gardens, but chickens are flourishing.

The Sarah P. Duke Gardens is hosting a contest for members of the Duke community to name several chickens currently kept in the Charlotte Brody Discovery Garden. Out of the submitted names, favorites will chosen by the Gardens’ staff, and final names will be chosen by the community in another round of voting. A few of the best submissions so far have included “Tyrannosaurus Pecks,” “Lindsey Lo-hen” and “Yolko Ono,” wrote Orla Swift, director of marketing and communications for the Gardens, in an email.

The contest aims to generate excitement about the Gardens within the Duke community, explained Kavanah Anderson, education program coordinator for the Gardens.

“It’s a way for the families who have been visiting and may have favorite chickens to share that with everyone else and to share their excitement about the chickens,” she said.

Lindsey Fleetwood, horticulturist and chicken caretaker, noted that many people do not realize the Gardens has

a new crop of chickens, which she said “came in the mail” June 29. When a chicken hatches, it eats the yolk inside the egg, which gives it enough energy and hydration to last several days—plus a journey through the postal service. The chicks are placed in a cardboard box with holes in it along with a heating pad during the trip, Fleetwood explained.

“The minute you open them, you give them water and they’re fine,” she said. “They’re pretty resilient.”

Now that they are settled in their new homes, the chicks are ready for some proper names.

Swift noted that over 140 entries have been submitted so far. In total, there are three contests, each to name three chickens—one contest for the public, one for Duke students and staff and one for the Gardens’ volunteers. The Gardens’ staff will vote on the names Oct. 3 to 7 and then allow people to vote for their favorite among those options.

Task force looks into potential for Asian American studies program Annie Yang The Chronicle A student-organized task force is examining the viability of an Asian American studies program at Duke.

The group, tentatively titled the Asian American Studies Working Group, came together last semester after several groups— the Asian American Alliance, the Asian Student Association and Diya, the South Asian student association—presented a list of demands to administrators during a community forum, including the creation of an Asian American studies major. Senior Shalini Subbarao, external president of Diya, noted leaders of campus organizations have been working to bring the major to fruition.

“We have all been reaching out to other students, faculty and staff to get a wide range of opinions on what people envision this program to be,” Subbarao wrote in an email.

The working group currently includes members from ASA, AAA and Diya as well as other students, faculty and staff, she explained. Senior Stanley Yuan, former president of AAA and a member of The Chronicle’s independent editorial board, noted that the working group has not formally been solidified.

However, Subbarao noted, the group is planning to do an external review next Thursday. Two Asian American scholars will be coming to Duke in order to examine how Asian American studies may materialize at the University.

The review will showcase student research in Asian American topics and faculty interest in the program, Subbarao explained.

Additionally, as part of the external

Man-Lin Hsiao and Min Woo Kang | The Chronicle

review, the group is planning to hold an open forum where members of the Duke community can contribute to a public discussion, Yuan wrote in an email.

“A lot of student labor has gone into constructing a proposal for Asian American studies at Duke using input from the community, and we will continue to talk to people all across Duke to get even more people excited about the potential this program has,” Subbarao wrote.

Valerie Ashby, dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, announced the creation of the working group at an Arts and Sciences Council meeting earlier this

month, noting that administrators could use a similar process to address other student group demands.

The demand of the creation of an Asian American Studies major was requested after a controversial Asian-themed party hosted by the fraternity Kappa Sigma in 2013, and was repeated in the community forum last year. However, some have expressed doubts about student interest in such a program.

Lee Baker, former dean of academic affairs for the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, noted in a previous Chronicle article that neither the East Asian nor the South Asian

Studies certificates have drawn significant interest. Program II, which allows students to create their own unique majors, has not generated many proposals for an Asian American studies program, he noted.

Despite the doubts, student leaders said they are confident that people would take advantage of Asian American courses if they were offered.

Yuan wrote that the diversity and variety of Asian American studies classes at other universities—ranging from Asian American theater to religion—is less available at Duke, leaving some students wondering why they cannot study those topics. “[They] wonder…why they are unable to examine from an academic lens the challenges of being a second-generation immigrant, or the erasure of being a third or fourth-generation Asian American,” he wrote. “Many of them don’t even realize that this academic study exists or that these courses could be possible.”

Subbarao explained that there is an interest in Asian American studies based on enrollment in certain courses Duke does offer. The course “Asians in American Higher Education” has a full enrollment and gets rave reviews, she wrote.

“These positive experiences indicate the program’s potential for growth with the proper investment of resources,” she added.

Yuan added that Duke’s location in the South has the opportunity to offer a unique perspective on Asian American studies, compared to other universities in the country.

“As one of the most prestigious universities in the South, we have the ability to examine what the Asian American experience looks like in an area not the West Coast or the Northeast, two of the areas most traditionally associated with Asian Americans,” he wrote.

Study shows link between ‘love hormone,’ spirituality Henry Chan The Chronicle New research shows that oxytocin, commonly known as the “love hormone” due to association with social behaviors, may also boost spirituality.

In a study originally published in June, researchers—led by social psychologist Patty Van Cappellen— investigated the link between oxytocin and spirituality. The study involved 83 men between 35 and 64 years old, who were asked to self-report levels of spirituality after a nasal intake of oxytocin. Participants reported a greater sense of spirituality both shortly after the intake and one week later, according to the study.

“Oxytocin is not the spiritual hormone, but oxytocin is part of the biological foundation of spirituality.

The takeaway is that spirituality is supported by our biology,” explained Van Cappellen, who is also the associate director of the Interdisciplinary and Behavioral Research Center at Duke’s Social Science Research Institute.

Van Cappellen noted that the research was conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she was in the social psychology department before coming to Duke this year.

The study also included a guided meditation session, and participants who took oxytocin reported more positive emotions during meditation, Van Cappellen explained.

Since the 1980s, there has been considerable research that explores the effects of oxytocin on certain social

behaviors, such as anxiety reduction and group psychology. However, fewer studies examine the link between oxytocin and spirituality, though previous work has shown a correlation between the two, according to the study.

Van Cappellen’s conclusion lends itself easily to exaggeration, and various media outlets have taken up the task.

Because oxytocin is naturally released during sex, there have been headlines declaring that men who have more sex are more likely to believe in God, Van Cappellen said.

“It made me laugh, but it’s a stretch,” Van Cappellen said. “The context of the study is a very controlled lab and not a bedroom.”

Some experts have expressed reservations over the study, especially regarding its claims of causation and its definition of spirituality.

Christina Williams, a Duke professor of psychology and neuroscience, said that she thinks the study does not demonstrate causality. In an email, she wrote that existing research on how oxytocin amplifies social well-being can be translated into the results shown in the study, which is to say that the study does not break new ground.

Harold Koenig, director of the Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health, said that using the term “spirituality” loosely risks conflating it with mental health and social connection. He explained that the measures of spirituality in this study did not clearly distinguish spirituality from positive emotions related to mental health, for example.

Van Cappellen acknowledged the difficulty in defining spirituality and

Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons The findings from a new study suggests that the hormone oxytocin, which is released during sex, may enhance spirituality.

said that her approach was to look for the common elements that tie together the many definitions. The study defined spirituality as “one’s personal affirmation of and relationship to a higher power or to the sacred,” and makes use of a scientific metric known as the Spirituality Transcendence Scale.

“We try to remain broad, and yet through statistical analysis find the exact [variable] that’s moving,” she said.

Van Cappellen added that she

anticipates the next step will be to investigate the other causal direction to see if spiritual activities and behaviors can affect oxytocin levels.

“This does not mean biology was created to support spirituality, or that spirituality is only the result of biology,” she said. “Some people think we’re trying to explain away spirituality, to say that their beliefs are just a result of some biological reaction—that’s not what I claim.”

companies look into their supply chain and verify where the various parts are coming together. That’s the way we are going to see change.”

Recent changes in immigration and increased demand for certain goods have placed some individuals in vulnerable situations where they are more likely to be trafficked.

Because of the scope of the issue, the officials emphasized that people in any sphere—not just government—can fight human trafficking in their careers, education and daily choices.

“It’s insane how many things we purchase and we demand that actually use forced labor and trafficked labor,”senior Gloria Dabek said. “So I think it’s a weight that everyone can really burden.”

The officials also discussed the United States’ efforts to police trafficking both domestically and abroad. Coppedge said that her office funds projects around the world in countries that want to assist in disrupting human trafficking.

Additionally, the State Department releases its Trafficking in Persons report every year, which ranks countries by how well they have prosecuted perpetrators, protected victims and prevented future trafficking.

For several audience members, the panel provided a contrast to what they had seen at previous Sanford events.

“It was pretty incredible to have three women panelists and a woman moderating, talking about such an important issue,” said first–year Bo Carlson. “I guess just looking at their own personal leadership and experience in the State Department and government is pretty inspirational.”

first proposed the project, wrote. “I’m also aware that some students have an advantage in typical ‘recruitment’ processes: students that are well-connected, extroverted or those that can afford recruitment and dues.

I wanted to build a community that any student can join without the risk or anxiety of rejection.”

LLCs will also have a more academic focus than traditional non-independent housing options. All members will be required to enroll in a house course. Visions of Freedom currently plans to include some academic component in all the events they host. However, the LLC may also consider hosting some purely social events if enough members express an interest in doing so, noted Ferencsik.

The academic nature of LLCs gives them a wider range of funding opportunities than are available to SLGs and Greek life.

Members of Visions of Freedom do not pay dues, but the program received funding for a trip to Washington, D.C. earlier this semester from a variety of groups, including the Office of Undergraduate Education and the Political Science department, Bansal wrote in an email. Ferencsik also noted that the LLC’s academic focus makes it easier for it to tap into the financial resources of different departments at Duke.

In addition to the perks that come with having a generous range of funding options, members say that the main draw of an LLC is the opportunity to live in a community conducive to intellectual engagement.

“I learn just as much when the person next door to me comes into my room and starts talking about Russian oligopolies for four hours as when I go into class during the day,” said sophomore Jackson Dellinger, a student currently participating in this program.

NEW LIFE HEADING INTO OCTOBER Duke takes on Virginia coming off one of the biggest wins in program history

Brian Mazur The Chronicle After pushing through a roller-coaster month of September—which featured a home loss to Wake Forest and a potentially season-saving victory against Notre Dame—the Blue Devils will look for more consistency as they head into October.

Duke will look to win consecutive games for the first time this season Saturday when it hosts Virginia at 12:30 p.m at Wallace Wade Stadium. The Blue Devils enter the Virginia matchup against the Cavaliers following a vs.

38-35 victory against Duke the Fighting Irish a week ago, in which SATURDAY, 12:30 p.m. redshirt freshman Wallace Wade Stadium quarterback Daniel Jones passed for 290 yards and three touchdowns.

“It was a big win for us, but what matters now is building on it,” Jones said. “Taking what we did well and using a little bit of that momentum to focus all of our effort on Virginia.”

In the last three seasons, October has been a crucial month for Duke (2-2)— which has gone 8-1 in October games the last three seasons—and it figures to be the case once again this year. Virginia has struggled in the early part of this season, and is the only ACC team the Blue Devils are projected to beat the rest of this year, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.

Jack White | The Chronicle Sophomore wide receiver T.J. Rahming had eight catches against Notre Dame as the Blue Devil offense got back on track.

Although the Blue Devils are coming off one of their biggest wins in program history against the Fighting Irish, Duke enters its second conference game of the season facing its fair share of injury problems, with the biggest coming in the backfield.

Behind improved offensive line play, the running back duo of Jela Duncan and Shaun Wilson combined for 187 yards on the ground a week ago after finishing with just 113 yards in their losses to Wake Forest and Northwestern combined.

But the Blue Devils will be without the services of Duncan this weekend after the

redshirt senior injured his ankle against Notre Dame.

Wilson will likely see the bulk of the carries Saturday, with redshirt junior Joseph Ajeigbe a likely candidate to spell Wilson. Duke struggled to run the ball against Wake Forest in Week 2 but finished with more than 100 yards on the ground in its past two games. Redshirt sophomore Zach Harmon has sparked the improvement along the offensive line, starting at left guard the last two games after beginning the season as the team’s backup center.

“Zach [Harmon] is playing well,” Blue Devil head coach David Cutcliffe said. “We made the decision that he was probably one of our best five [offensive linemen].

But it’s not just where Zach is. We made some other adjustments.”

The improved protection has also given Jones more time in the pocket to throw downfield. Although Virginia (1-3) has a secondary that includes All-ACC safety Quin Blanding, the Cavaliers are allowing more than 300 yards per game through the air and let Central Michigan quarterback Cooper Rush throw for 402 yards and two touchdowns a week ago.

Even against a suspect pass defense facing its first ACC quarterback of the season, Jones understands that the Blue Devils will need to execute as they enter the teeth of their conference schedule.

A lone interception was Duke’s only turnover against the Fighting Irish, but the Blue Devils turned the ball over 10 times in their first three games and aim to protect the ball Saturday to force Virginia to sustain long drives.

“There are certain decisions and certain plays that we can execute at a higher level,” Jones said. “We can do a better job taking care of the ball. That interception [against Notre Dame], I would like it back.”

On the defensive side of the ball, the Blue Devils must adjust without defensive back DeVon Edwards available for the first time since 2012. The Covington, Ga., native suffered a season-ending knee See FOOTBALL on Page 16

Red-hot Dorsey, Duke eye third ACC win Jacob Zeitlin The Chronicle Coming off their most complete win of the year, the Blue Devils will look to build on their best ACC start since 2011—this time wearing pink.

No. 10 Duke will host Syracuse following six days off Sunday at 1 p.m. at Koskinen Stadium, donning pink jerseys that will be auctioned off Syracuse after the game to benefit the Duke vs.

Pediatric Blood & No. 10 Marrow Transplant Duke Program. The Blue Devils dominated SUNDAY, 1 p.m. then-No. 19 Virginia Koskinen Stadium Tech 4-0 last Sunday and hope they can keep pace with the other top teams in the ACC with a third conference win.

Duke is tied with four other teams atop the league standings and could use another three points from a win against the Orange—four of the Blue Devils’ next five games after Sunday’s contest will come on the road. Before navigating another grueling part of its schedule, Duke hopes it can pick up where it left off against the Hokies. The Blue Devils’ four goals were their most against a Power-5 team this season and a pleasant sight for an offense that has been inconsistent at times.

“We did a really good job rallying

together, supporting one another and letting each other know the right things are happening,” junior Imani Dorsey said.

Although Duke (7-2-2, 2-0-1 in the ACC) exploded against Virginia Tech, its balanced offense was quiet in scoreless draws against North Carolina and Louisville earlier in the season despite generating at least 30 shots in both games.

The Blue Devils will have to maintain a high level of execution when they create scoring chances to upend the Orange (73-2, 0-2-1), who allow 0.9 goals per game led by goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan. The junior has made 42 saves this year and already boasts five shutouts.

Duke hopes its depth of talent can wear Syracuse down Sunday—the Blue Devils have four players with at least four assists this year and five players with at least three goals.

“We have to play quick little passes, we have to keep possession, we have to look for combinations and then we have to make good decisions in the final third,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “We have very talented players that are willing to share the ball.”

Dorsey has been particularly lethal for Church’s squad of late, scoring two goals for the first time in her career against Virginia Tech and taking 12 shots in her last three contests—all against ACC competition.

The Elkridge, Md., now leads the Blue Devils in goals with five and has also posted four assists through 11 contests, many of

which have come after Duke has quickly transitioned from defense to offense.

“We’re able to build out of the back, keep it and move forward,” Dorsey said. “It gives us a lot of opportunities.”

Syracuse will also have a week between games, but unlike Duke, the Orange are searching for ways to get their offense in gear—Syracuse scores about half as many goals per game as the Blue Devils with 1.3.

No Orange player has scored more than three goals this season, and through three conference contests they have generated just one tally.

Eva Gordon and Stephanie Skilton are the most likely candidates to get Syracuse going—the two have combined for six goals and two assists. Freshman Sydney Brackett leads the team with 31 shots this season, and Church noted that the Blue Devil defense needs to be wary of the Orange counterattack.

Duke allows less than one goal per game and has notched five shutouts, but goalkeeper E.J. Proctor and company have also had mental lapses, allowing six See W. SOCCER on Page 16

Blue Devils running out of time to find offense Michael Model The Chronicle The Blue Devils find themselves at a crossroads halfway through the regular season.

Duke head coach John Kerr has called this one of his most talented teams ever, and the Blue Devils flashed their potential with an upset at then-No. 9 UCLA and a 2-0-1 start to the campaign.

But Duke has faltered since, winning just one of its last five games and suffering a deflating doubleovertime loss on an Duke own goal to Georgia vs.

State Tuesday night.

N.C. The Blue Devils State will travel to Raleigh to take on N.C. State FRIDAY, 7 p.m. at 7 p.m. Friday at Dail Soccer Field Dail Soccer Field looking to rebound after blowing a 1-0 halftime lead and losing to Georgia State for the first time ever. Duke’s offensive struggles continued Tuesday when the Blue Devils were unable to convert on eight second-half shot attempts, and things went from bad to worse when Duke lost junior defender Kevon Black to a serious injury.

This lack of offense has plagued the Blue Devils of late—they have scored one goal or fewer in five of their last six games despite averaging more than 15 shots per contest.

“We need to regroup, it’s going to take a bit of a day or two to get ourselves organized, but again there are some good things and

Juan Bermudez | The Chronicle Jared Golestani started Tuesday’s game at forward as the Blue Devils look to find an offensive rhythm halfway through the season.

some good signs there,” Duke head coach John Kerr said following Tuesday’s loss.

As they return to conference play after a one-game hiatus, the Blue Devils (3-3-2, 0-2-1 in the ACC) are in dire need of a victory if they hope to make their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2011. Following a 1-21 record during a key four-game home stretch, Duke will take on another team that has yet to win a conference game in N.C. State (3-6, 0-3).

However, the Wolfpack carry more momentum into Friday’s game after winning two of their last three games—beating Liberty and Wright State—by scoring seven goals in the two victories. N.C. State has scored just

five goals in its other seven games and has yet to score against an ACC opponent.

Sophomore midfielder Julius Duchscherer and redshirt sophomore Ade Taiwo lead the way for the Wolfpack and have scored seven of the team’s 12 goals this year, with Duchscherer notching two tallies in Tuesday’s win against the Raiders.

With a defense that allows 1.1 goals per game, the Blue Devils will look to limit the duo and get their own offense on track— Duke has just one ACC goal through three conference games and has wasted several strong performances by graduate student goalkeeper Robert Moewes.

Luckily for the Blue Devils, they will face a

team that allows 1.9 goals per game and has not recorded a shutout yet this year.

To capitalize on its opportunities in front of goal Friday—Duke ranks among the worst ACC teams with a 9-percent conversion rates on shots—the Blue Devils will have to beat N.C. State goalkeeper Alex McConnell, who has 23 saves this year but often is faced with a steady onslaught of shots on goal.

“We had some good actions but we just weren’t clinical enough in front of goal, and it hurt us again,” Kerr said Tuesday. “We’ve been like that the past couple games where we’ve been pretty good going forward but just not finalizing that last pass or the last shot.”

Three Blue Devils—juniors Cameron Moseley and Brian White and freshman Suniel Veerakone—have at least two goals this season, though graduate student Ryan Thompson is second on the team in shots with 16 behind White’s 27. Kerr has repeatedly said that Duke works religiously on finishing shots, but if the Blue Devils do not get their offense on track soon, they will likely have a tough time improving on last year’s 10-7-2 record.

Following its game against the Wolfpack, Duke’s next three ACC tilts are against top-five teams in Notre Dame and North Carolina and a game against No. 18 Virginia Tech. The Blue Devils will take on Campbell and Davidson in between that daunting trio of games, but are running out of time to find an offensive spark.

“I’m not despondent,” Kerr said. “We just got to get through this little period and get back to winning ways.”

Center. Following a KFC Yum! Center few disappointing five-set losses earlier in the season, Duke has come up clutch in tight contests lately and dominated the final set at Virginia 15-7 to continue its recent improvement.

“This is not an easy road trip that we’re getting ready to embark on,” Blue Devil head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We’ve just

got to keep our focus and take it one match at a time.”

Like the Blue Devils, Notre Dame (113, 2-0 in the ACC) enters Friday’s match with its share of momentum. The Fighting Irish just wrapped up their most successful nonconference slate in more than 10 years and beat both Louisville and Miami in straight sets to start conference play 2-0 for the first time in four years in the ACC. Senior middle blocker Katie Higgins has led the way for Notre Dame of late, recording 15 kills on just 31 attempts in the two games last weekend, including a

10-kill effort against the Hurricanes. The Fighting Irish also have three other regular contributors averaging at least two kills per set.

Duke (8-4, 2-0) has five players that regularly get involved offensively, and will look to middle blockers Jordan Tucker and Leah Meyer to spark its attack as well as slow down Notre Dame near the net.

Tucker and Meyer are two of the four Blue Devils with at least 100 kills through nine games, joining underclassmen Jessi Bartholomew and Jamie Stivers.

“Our team is still a work in progress—

we’re learning all the time,” Nagel said.

“You learn a lot more from a loss than you do from a win. We’ve continued to try to keep the focus that we need to continue to make progress every week.”

Following its contest in Indiana, Duke will make the short trip to Kentucky to take on the Cardinals (5-7, 0-2), who will look for their first ACC win against Wake Forest Friday. Louisville has struggled so far in ACC play, hitting only .159 against then-No. 15 Florida State and .112 at Notre Dame and committing at least 20 errors in each match.

However, freshman Melanie McHenry and sophomore Molly Sauer have been bright spots for the Cardinals—McHenry had a match-high 18 kills against the Seminoles and Sauer added four aces.

The Blue Devils have also had to rely on underclassmen to play major roles, but after a few blips early in the season, they are now playing the best volleyball of their careers. Meyer and Bartholomew—both sophomores—have stepped up recently, with Bartholomew leading the team in kills with 15 in Saturday’s win.

Her contributions could not have come at a better time for a team dealing with several early-season injuries, including one to senior Alyse Whitaker.

“I knew that this is a big year and a big opportunity for me to step up and help my team out,” Bartholomew said.

MEN’S TENNIS

Alvarez set to open season after Davis Cup matches Peishu Li The Chronicle As the rest of the Blue Devils kicked off their season at the James Bonk Invitational Sept. 16, Nicolas Alvarez was representing his home country.

After reaching the NCAA singles championship last May, the Duke junior competed for Peru in the Davis Cup. Two weeks ago, Alvarez capped off his trip to the international team tournament by clinching the final point against Venezuela in his hometown of Lima.

“It’s a little different because I am playing in front of my family and representing my country,” Alvarez said. “I felt a little bit more nervous going into the match over there, but at the same time, the support of the crowd back home or here [at Duke] is very important.”

Now the country’s No. 15 player will begin his fall campaign at the ITA Men’s All-American Championships at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla. Alvarez will participate in the main singles draw Oct. 5-6, with several other Duke players joining him.

Duke head coach Ramsey Smith hopes his best player will return to Durham with more confidence from the summer.

“It’s nice to see Nico [in] this first college tournament for the year,” Smith said. “But obviously a very special, unique opportunity for him to be able to play at the Davis Cup. It really helped his confidence a lot, and it’s going to help prepare him for the level of play at All-American and the

rest of the fall.”

Two weeks ago, a Blue Devil squad without Alvarez, but consisting of seasoned returners and a stellar freshman group, capped off nine singles and four doubles victories at the Duke James Bonk Invitational.

In Tulsa, Smith’s squad will face more difficult competition against the best singles and doubles players in the country, including some familiar faces, such as No. 6 Tom Fawcett from Stanford, who bested Alvarez 6-2, 6-3 in the first round of the NCAA singles championship last season.

The Blue Devils could also face members of some of the ACC’s top programs, including Virginia and North Carolina. The Tar Heels spoiled Duke’s Senior Day last year with a 6-1 victory before making their way to the NCAA tournament quarterfinals.

“A lot is depending on draws,” Smith said.

“Especially in the prequalifying, because you can have a draw where you play kind of a medium-level opponent, or you can play one of the top guys in the country who just isn’t ranked yet.”

Alvarez hopes to carry over his experience at the Davis Cup into collegiate competition.

As the youngest player on the Peruvian team, the All-American went 2-0 in singles against Mexico to help Peru claim a 4-1 victory in the Group II Americas semifinals.

Against Venezuela in the championship match, Alvarez again delivered two crucial points for his country. After downing ATP No. 686 Ricardo Rodriguez in straight sets 6-4, 6-2, 6-0, Alvarez topped No. 740 in the ATP Luis David Martinez in a comeback 4-6, 6-4, 7-6, 6-1 win to help Peru earn a 3-2 victory.

Chronicle File Photo Junior Nicolas Alvarez will make his Duke season debut against some of the top singles players in the country.

“I didn’t play my best tennis in the Davis Cup,” Alvarez said. “So, level-wise, it wasn’t a huge step forward, but being able to compete and win and not playing as great as I would like to was very important to me, and that should give me confidence moving forward to my next tournament.”

The first-team All-ACC honoree defines his game by his high-intensity baseline forehand, coupled with a versatile service and net game. But Alvarez’s main weakness comes when equally powerful opponents relentlessly target his backhand.

Alongside Alvarez, sophomore Catalin Mateas is the only other Blue Devil who was ranked in the preseason, coming in at No. 100. Mateas took third

place in his draw at the James Bonk Invitational at No. 1 singles.

At the ITA Men’s All-American Championships, Mateas will join freshman Robert Levine in the qualifying singles Oct. 3-4. Levine will also pair up with fellow freshman Nick Stachowiak to compete in the qualifying doubles event at the same time.

Stachowiak will enter the prequalifying singles Saturday and Sunday with teammates TJ Pura, Ryan Dickerson and Spencer Furman.

“It’s a really cool event. It’s the biggest college tennis tournament in the world,” Smith said. “We are just looking for the guys to go out and execute what we’ve been practicing and focusing on—the program values and culture that we’ve been working on.”

Deserted by IFC, abandoned by a task force

O

ne year, three months and 16 days ago, the Duke Interfraternity Council launched a task force charged with a mission to investigate the role Greek life plays in sexual assault on campus. The task force was to meet weekly, analyze findings and report back to the wider student body with conclusions. 474 days later, it has all but vanished into thin air.

The IFC task force was launched roughly two years after a Greek Culture Initiative study found that over a third of Greek women at Duke reported experiencing unwanted sexual contact and that the vast majority of women on campus did not feel respected by men. Amidst a nationwide crisis of sexual misconduct at universities, the task force was hailed by Greek leadership as a groundbreaking entity that would move Duke—a university whose social scene is dominated by Greek life—in a better direction.

It has failed to do so. The IFC task force never published any of its findings. In fact, there have been no (save one tangential) public comments by the task force’s members about its progress, and there exists no public evidence that it even met.

Privately, the only information the Editorial Board was able to glean about the task force was that it had supposedly created a PowerPoint presentation

recommending fraternities hand out water bottles at parties to keep attendees hydrated. Attempts to reach out to public contacts for the task force were near fruitless. Two student leaders quoted in the task force announcement article claimed they had no affiliation with it. A staff contact from the Office of Fraternity & Sorority life failed to maintain correspondence with us. Five more contacts, including the current chairman of the task force, the current president of IFC and the

Editorial former president of IFC totally ignored requests for information.

The woeful state of today’s IFC task force lies far from its roots. During its founding, the task force was pitched by Greek leadership as a trailblazer—a group that would push through bluster in order to explore the realities of a less-than-safe sexual environment. Greek leaders acknowledged that sexual assault, rooted in a lack of respect for women, was the biggest issue facing Greek life on campus—that something had to be done to resolve it and that the task force was a strong first step.

“Anyway, even as a liberal, I’m very concerned with the intolerance and ostracizing of Trump supporters on campus, as I think it’s more of a visceral reaction to a few narrow issues and comments rather than a logical analysis of the candidate’s positions, which I think the few supporters here actually have a better command of.”

The task force’s sneaky disintegration and spotty contact raises questions about whether fraternity leadership is really invested in diagnosing pervasive, self-acknowledged problems of sexual assault in their organizations. While no task force research presentation could totally prevent sexual assault, a clear set of findings and suggestions would go a long way towards taking the first step.

Alas, it appears that that first step will not be taken. The task force, which could have provided a framework for Greek organizations to proactively prevent sexual assault, has shirked its responsibility and dropped the ball. That it failed to produce anything is disappointing to the great majority of Greek students who strongly disapprove of sexual misconduct and disrespect to the women of Duke who have experienced a sexual assault. Over a year after Greek leaders acknowledged that sexual misconduct was a problem for them, we’re back to where we started—waiting to react to the next tragedy.

Ultimately, the disguised dissolution of the IFC task force has been little more than another predictable disappointment for many of Duke’s students who have long since forgotten about its creation. Task forces are a joke to them. This one missed the chance to change that perception.

very time I order my signature drink at a Starbucks or call to make a reservation for a restaurant, I tell a white lie. Lying isn’t in my nature, but as an ardent pragmatist, I like to make things easier for the employees when I can, as long as it doesn’t hurt me in the process.

My name isn’t actually Kevin, but it is to many of the service employees I’ve interacted with throughout my life. My intent is not to undermine the name that my family, for days, deliberated upon; it’s just smoother for everyone involved than forcing the barista to struggle with pronouncing my name when my drink is ready.

This is a petty example of the kinds of problems that “exotically-named” people like myself face living in America, but it leads us to a question that we ask ourselves at some point in our lives: What do I want my name to be? Do I want people to have to labor with the spelling and pronunciation of my given name for the rest

common practice to give children an English first name and a Korean middle name to maintain a “dual identity”: one to keep their lives in America a little easier and another to remind them about their heritage and retain their cultural pride.

This compromise is nothing new: firstgeneration and second-generation immigrants have dealt with similar problems for over a century. For example, European immigrants disembarking at Ellis Island in the early 1900s arrived with unfamiliar names, and many changed their names soon after they settled for similar reasons as described above and in order to fit well into the community.

Although it might seem unfair, it’s a small price to pay for these immigrants, who voluntarily left their homes to seize the opportunities that awaited them in America or to escape a troubled situation in their original countries. They knew that making cultural compromises for themselves and their children would be necessary in order

of my life? Or should I permanently use “Kevin” to make everybody’s life a little easier?

It’s a question that, in particular, AsianAmericans struggle with throughout their early lives. In fact, this issue is prominent enough to be featured in an episode from the Asian-American sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat.”

Growing up with an Asian name in the states, my name’s unconventionality and its penchant for rhyming with a number of undesirable words led itself to be the subject of numerous bouts of ridicule. Although somewhat humorous in hindsight, the crux of the derision was probably in my middle school years during the release of the movie “Juno,” in which I was repeatedly compared to a very pregnant Ellen Page. But beyond childhood taunting, using an Asian name has actually been shown to affect the person’s career development, including opportunities for jobs or admissions to schools. It’s an unacceptable situation, but the unfortunate reality of our world is that this nature of discrimination will happen, with or without intent, and there is no panacea.

Therefore, it’s undeniable that using an English name helps with communication and quality of life in America. And it’s something that Asian parents have realized. For example, in the Korean-American community, it’s now a very

to live fulfilling lives as Americans, and this was often taken into account when making the decision to emigrate.

As a second-generation American, I value the sacrifices my parents made and fully understand that my family’s assimilation into American culture and any discrimination I face is an inevitable artifact of their decision to settle to a new country. I continue to recognize and celebrate the culture of my parents’ home country, and yet, at the same time, I respect their sacrifices by attempting to persevere through any racial or cultural discrimination I’ve faced, all the while embracing American culture and making it a part of my overall cultural identity.

As the country hopefully continues to accept immigrants from all parts of the world, this process of integration will inherently remain.

But if coming generations continue to be more mindful of the societal and cultural issues that face everyday people doing everyday things, there’s good reason to be optimistic about the future: with each other, and with our various baristas.

recognizing the existence of institutional racism is obviously not an all-encompassing policy that could amend the deeplyingrained structures that have perpetuated it. Naming a quad after a black man doesn’t absolve an entity of its segregationist past.

But as Kanye West says in his modernday ballad, “Bound 2,” “Admittin’ is the first step.” Coming to terms with our nation’s long history of discrimination is key in our efforts to promote a more equal society.

The idea of recognition sounds broad.

In truth, it is pretty broad. Recognition looks different in different communities among different people across different times. Its essence, though, is transcendent.

But Julian Abele never stepped foot in the chapel that we so often take for granted. In fact, Abele didn’t even receive credit for his work until 1986.

The first class of black undergraduate students enrolled Duke in 1963: the year that sparked “Beatlemania,” buried JFK and birthed the Clean Air Act. 1963 was a pivotal year in racial politics as well. Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech, Medgar Evers was shot dead in his driveway by a white supremacist and five brave students enrolled at Duke University.

Duke, like many academic institutions, was steeped in a history of segregation.

This was the segregation that kept Julian Abele from seeing the results of his work, the segregation that kept generations of African-Americans from higher education and higher opportunity. This is the segregation that continues to impact black Americans everyday, the segregation whose roots are so deeply entrenched in our cities that its symptoms spark protest in Charlotte and Baltimore and St. Louis alike.

Duke has come a long way since 1963.

Our campus boasts a diverse and engaged community, a group of students from all walks of life. The Black Student Alliance (BSA) is a thriving reminder of the black cultural presence on campus. But it took 30 years of students pushing the administration—pushing for recognition and respect for the work of Julian Abele— to create a lasting change. Susan Cook, Abele’s great niece, published a piece in The Chronicle in 1986 explaining that her great-uncle had been the chief architect of West Campus.

A long road of student-led activism is now progressing, today, with the university’s official commemoration of Julian Abele.

This afternoon, we celebrate the work of a man who was denied recognition for all of his life as a symptom of the vicious segregation of his time. In granting this recognition, the university makes vital steps toward coming to terms with its unique and complex history.

As the pot of boiling racial tensions brews in cities like Charlotte and Tulsa, our country could learn a thing or two from the agenda that student protesters have been pushing here since 1986. Simply

In Germany, every street corner is marked by a reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust. There is a feasible, meaningful recognition of the terrors done unto its victims, and the German state keeps an unwavering commitment to honor the memories, achievements, and trials of those its predecessor oppressed.

And yet, over a century after the end of a legal slavery, decades after the end of Jim Crow, in an age of de facto segregated public schools, police brutality and mass incarceration, many of us continue to deny the existence of systemic racism in our country. There can be no recognition, no closure, no solution until those in power acknowledge the wrongs once done and the wrongdoings of today. This lack of perspective is the same that prompts men like Congressman Robert Pittenger to say that black protesters “hate white people because white people are successful and they’re not.” Those villainizing the calls of protesters misunderstand the nature of oppression—Americans do not go out into the street, chanting for justice, for nothing.

In fact, it isn’t simply the death of Keith Lamont Scott spurring demonstrations in Charlotte. The black, white and brown people raising their voices are responding to years of neglect. They are responding to the school-to-prison-pipeline that funnels Charlotte’s children into for-profit prisons.

They are responding to the racial profiling that put a generation of black men in Charlotte behind bars, to the lack of opportunity extended to Charlotte’s youth, to North Carolina’s refusal to expand Medicaid.

They are responding, simply, to a lack of recognition.

So perhaps it’s time for the United States to take a page from Duke University’s book.

How about we take the time to recognize the Julian Abeles in all of our cities and in all of our towns? In recognizing past wrongs and hidden legacies, we allow ourselves an opportunity to move forward.

Without giving demonstrators and oppressed peoples in this nation the credit they are due, without addressing their concerns with honesty and integrity, we cannot take further steps towards eradicating the institutions that perpetuate racism. Recognition can be our beginning—it can push us to trod down the path toward justice. Let’s rename our quads, let’s restate our mission, but let’s not stop there.

prompted unprecedented peace and prosperity. Yet, the primary force behind all of this remarkable progress—namely, globalization—has never been so reviled.

In many ways, the problems caused by globalization stem from the tension between an increasingly integrated global economy and an international political system that remains characterized by the interaction of nation states with conflicting interests and values. While international institutions were erected to deal with such tension, both the power and the legitimacy of these institutions are eroding.

Recent years provide many examples of failure. Due to the inconsistent beliefs and aims of its members, the United Nations Security Council was unable to prevent a humanitarian crisis of tragic proportions in Syria. Brexit may catalyze the dissolution of the European Union as other countries—many of whom are also shirking on their obligations to NATO—come to view their relationship with Brussels as counter to their national interest. Brazilian finance minister Guido Mantegna’s declaration in 2010 that the world was in “the midst of an international currency war” pointed to the failure of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to harmonize international monetary policy coordination. In an integrated world economy, the effects of a country’s economic policies are not isolated. Donald Trump’s denunciation of China’s currency devaluation and its detrimental effects on the American economy is not without basis. Similarly, the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing produces inflated asset values in emerging debt and equity markets, as well as currency appreciation in countries like Brazil, causing these countries’ exports to fall.

Though these challenges are daunting, the United States and its allies cannot afford to retreat. If they do not assume a leading role in the reconstruction of the global architecture for cooperation, other countries will.

With an increasing percentage of global Gross Domestic Product concentrated in authoritarian countries, it is likely that these alternative leaders will construct a system that will be at odds with Western values.

At the same time, international institutions will only have the sufficient legitimacy and resources to be effective if they become more inclusive and representative. Over the past few decades, countries that played no role in constructing the rules of the current global system have gained enormous wealth and influence. China, for example, feels vindicated in disregarding the rulings of international institutions because it had no part in designing these bodies. If the institutions aren’t modified to accommodate China,

but it will also make consensus more difficult. Such a consensus is necessary because, as Henry Kissinger explains in his book World Order, any system of international order that “is built on power, but lacks legitimacy, will destroy itself.” For a global order—and the institutions that underlie it—to be considered legitimate, they must reflect moral values that resonate with individuals in all parts of the world. The differences between the fundamental values of the United States and China— the two countries that must buttress any global order for it to be worthy of that title—highlights the difficulty of this endeavor. In his recent United Nations address, President Obama expressed the belief shared by many Americans that “the principles of open markets and accountable governance, of democracy and human rights and international law that we have forged remain the firmest foundation for human progress in this century.” This stands in stark contrast with the Chinese view articulated by Deng Xiaoping that “national sovereignty is far more important than human rights [and that] talk of human rights, freedom and democracy is designed only to safeguard the interests of the strong, rich countries.”

Still, nations with competing ideologies can find a common goal in the advancement of the human condition. While there may be large disagreement on how to achieve such an end, there will also be areas of consonance. In a communique from the recent G-20 meeting, world leaders affirmed their commitment to “a rulesbased, transparent, non-discriminatory, open and inclusive multilateral trading system.” Further, they acknowledged that improved international policy coordination as well as greater inclusiveness and integration are essential to further growth.

The world will become more peaceful and prosperous if its leading nations bind their power to international laws and institutions that are widely recognized as legitimate. New powers such as China will do so only if institutions are reformed as to become more inclusive and representative. For advanced economies, the challenge will be overcoming the recent wave of antiestablishment movements. All parties must recognize that compromise is a necessity and that it is better, as Edmund Burke remarked, “to acquiesce in some qualified plan that does not come up to the full perfection of the abstract idea, than to push for the more perfect.”

FIELD HOCKEY from page 11 because of an equally difficult schedule.

All but one of Boston College’s losses came against top-20 competition, and the Eagles knocked off then-No. 17 Stanford and the then-No. 2 Tar Heels earlier this season.

Boston College goalkeeper Audra Hampsch allows 1.7 goals per game but is in the top 10 nationally in save percentage, and Eagle forward Brittany Sheenan has scored eight goals this year.

“They are a great team, and so for us, it is sticking to what we do and taking care of their strengths,” Bustin said. “They have some good scoring ability and some good counterattack ability, and that is something we are going to have to be prepared for.”

The Terriers (7-2) have faced a softer schedule in the Patriot League, but in three matchups against ranked teams have gone 2-1, with the loss to then-No. 3 Connecticut 5-1 Sunday.

Like Duke, Boston University averages more than three goals per game and has numerous offensive options, with five players scoring at least four goals through nine games.

Following a power outage on the road—the Blue Devils fired just six shots Sunday—Duke will look to spark its offense against a Boston College defense that gives up almost 16 shots per game before facing a Terrier unit that allows half as many. Part of that offensive success will likely be determined by how well the Blue Devils transition from defense to offense, something they excelled at en route to the best start in program history. “[With] awareness [and] aggressiveness being connected to attack—we have to have to go back to that, and that is what was missing on Sunday,” Bustin said. “Hopefully

that will be there and so we will create some more scoring opportunities.”

To contain two more dangerous offenses, Duke’s defense will have to recover from one of its worst stretches of the season.

The Blue Devils allowed three goals in a 15-minute period during the second half Sunday, and will look to stay attached to opposing forwards this weekend while controlling possession to give the back line a break. At times against North Carolina, it felt like redshirt freshman goalkeeper Sammi Steele was constantly under siege from the Tar Heel offense—it was the first time in the Eagleville, Pa., native’s career that she had allowed three goals.

“She knows there is no finger pointing.

There is no way [it] is one person’s fault,” Bustin said. “We just come back to basics, reconnect, shore up our defense a little bit and open up the attack.”

Following the Boston University game, Duke will have reached the halfway point in the regular season with games against North Carolina and No. 4 Syracuse still looming.

For a team with championship aspirations, ACC tilts like the one the Blue Devils face Friday have never been more important—their last three NCAA championship game losses have come at the hands of conference foes, and the Tar Heels have knocked them out of the postseason the past two years.

“To think we are going to go undefeated is awesome, but that is not a thought. We really do approach one game at a time and going into North Carolina had nothing to do with our record prior to that,” Bustin said. “Now, going into Boston College, that loss has nothing to do with our game on Friday—it really is just taking care of what we can for that day and being the best team that we can be.”
