MADISON, Wis.—With all the attention on the Jahlil Okafor-Frank Kaminsky matchup heading into Wednesday’s top-5 clash, it seemed like somebody forgot to remind Wisconsin about Blue Devil point guard Tyus Jones.

Behind Jones’ 22-point, six-rebound and four-assist perfor-mance, No. 4 Duke took down No. 2 Wisconsin 80-70 at the Kohl Center. The Blue Devils jumped out to a 22-16 lead in the first half and kept the Badgers at bay for the remainder of the game to secure their second win against a ranked opponent and eighth-straight victory to start the season. The win gave

Freshman Tyus Jones scored a team-high 22 points as the Blue Devils took down

the Badgers Wednesday evening

the ACC its fourth triumph in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, which the Big Ten had already won and now leads 8-4.

“It was great. They had a great crowd and we knew, being here, we’d get the full effect,” Jones said. “We knew we had to lean on each other because it was going to be us against every-body in there.... My teammates gave me confidence, coaches gave me confidence and believed in me and that helps a lot.”

Jones lit up the Badgers (7-1) for eight points in the first half, including a pair of back-to-back 3-pointers with less than three minutes left to preserve Duke’s lead, Jones continued to have the hot hand in the second half, adding 14 more points. The freshman used an array of jump shots and drives to frus-trate the Wisconsin defense and maintain the slim lead.

“Tyus has played really well for us in the first seven games,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “[Associate head coach] Jeff Capel—in the last six, seven minutes—he said, ‘Coach, let’s go to him. He’s a winner.’ So that high ball-screen went to him at

#WeAreHereDuke urges culture change around sexual assault

“We are here to talk, we are here as advocates, we are here to listen and we are

here to make change”

Kali Shulklapper University Editor

See Policies on Page 3

As Duke’s sexual assault policies continue to be revised, a student-run campaign is encouraging community action across campuses nationwide.

The #WeAreHereDuke campaign—run by students and faculty of a theater studies course titled “Telling Stories for Social Change: Confronting Sexual and Domestic Violence at Duke and in Durham”—is an outgrowth of the class’s attempt to create dialogue and spark community action. Through social media and public policy efforts, the course aims to change the cultures that promote sexual violence.

“The social media campaign is to say we are here for survivors, as survivors—we have visibility on campus,” said Madeleine Lambert, co-instructor of the course. “We are here to talk, we are here as advocates, we are here to listen and we are here to make change.”

The class recently submitted a policy letter to the Gen-der Violence Task Force and held a public performance Wednesday night, bringing together personal narratives and monologues from survivors of sexual assault, social workers and activists.

The course is one of several student-led initiatives aim-ing to increase awareness of sexual assault and transparency regarding Duke’s policies on the topic.

Senior Ashley Pollard, a survivor of sexual assault, founded the organization Duke Support to offer guidance to survivors and promote policy changes. Pollard said she was deeply frustrated when her perpetrator received no sanctions after she brought her case forward to the Office of Student Conduct. The incident, she said, enabled her to reach out to other survivors on campus and create a net-work to broaden the dialogue.

Pollard said that activism became part of her Duke Sup-port’s agenda after meeting Lambert, who sought members of the organization to inform her class’s policy decisions. Despite representation from the student perspective, there are still barriers to being heard, she said.

“I think a challenge is the bureaucracy of it all,” Pollard

expressed their gratitude to Simmons for arranging their class schedule and provid-ing constructive advice.

“Connie has helped me put together my schedule every single semester I’ve been at Duke,” junior Max Staebler said. “She’s the most dedicated member of the Pratt team and always makes time to help any student that asks. She is also just the most supportive person, always checking in when she sees you to ask how you’re doing.”

Sophomore Joshua Xu added he was especially impressed with Simmons’ can-dor during student advising.

“She is fearless, she says what’s on her mind,” he said. “[She is] absolutely un-afraid to tell you how it is.”

Simmons has served under six deans of Pratt and four University presidents. During her tenure, Pratt has under-gone a series of strategic and structural

reforms—the construction of both the Teer Building and Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medi-cine and Applied Sciences, as well as the creation of many re-search fellowships for students, all happened under Simmons’ watch.

“The school has evolved, and our edu-cational curriculum is much richer,” Katsou-leas said. “We now have all kinds of over-seas opportunities, research fellowships, and [Simmons] has helped in a rich array of these opportunities. However, some things haven’t changed in that Pratt has always prioritized student-led initiatives. [Simmons] supported and nurtured stu-dents and encouraged them greatly.”

Sophomore Henry Yuen, a member of the executive board for Engineering Student Government, noted Simmons’ crucial role in facilitating academic flex-ibility among Pratt students.

“She is the reason why students who aspire to take part in every facet of Duke

sense to have one individual “devote their full time to every aspect of this is-sue, including training, overseeing the process of how we handle complaints and reviewing our pol-icies and practices,” Reese said in a Duke News release.

In his new position, Kallem will work with stu-dents, staff and faculty from across the University.

“The national scru-tiny on Title IX has created conversations across campus that are healthy,” Re-ese said in the release. “It encourages everyone to look at the way we think about how universities handle sexual vi-olence complaints. With Howie’s guid-ance, I expect us to come out of this with improved processes.”

education, from minoring to Bass Con-nections to FOCUS, are graduating in four years and on time,” he said. “She knows all the requirements off the back

of her hand and works to ensure students end up with the plan that they want.”

Over her 37 years of service at the Univer-sity, Simmons has been honored with many

awards, including the school of engi-neering’s distinguished service award in 1996.

“It has been an amazing journey to be able to have had an impact on the lives of students, faculty and staff in Pratt over the years,” Simmons wrote in an email Tuesday. “I have witnessed the great growth of the school though increasing enrollment of students, faculty and staff, new programs...and now look forward to beginning a new chapter in my life.”

A reception will be held on Jan. 27, 2015 to commemorate Simmons’ Duke career.

She’s a singularity, and there is no way to

Despite travel ban, faculty approved for Liberia study

Thu Nguyen | The Chronicle

Grace Wang Health & Science Editor

See Liberia on Page 13

Five Duke faculty members have re-ceived approval for research in Liberia, despite travel restrictions to the country due to the Ebola virus.

Currently, Duke has full-country trav-el restrictions for undergraduate stu-dents on Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone—four West African coun-tries that have been heavily affected by the outbreak. Faculty, staff members and graduate and professional students have been strongly discouraged from traveling to the region. Individuals who

wish to take voluntary and mission-criti-cal trips to the four countries, however, can request an exception to the policy.

The five faculty members applied for an exception to the traveling policy in order to conduct clinical trial research in Liberia, Vice President for Admin-istration Kyle Cavanaugh confirmed. Their request was granted after being reviewed by a special committee.

One faculty member will leave for Li-beria later this month, and the four oth-ers will depart in 2015.

GPSC urges administration to consider third Young Trustee

Carleigh Stiehm Editor-in-Chief

Chronicle File PhotoGPSC passed a resolution urging the Board of Trustees to increase their graduate Young Trustees from two to three.

In an effort to increase the representa-tion of graduate student interests within the University, the Graduate and Profes-sional Student Council has passed a res-olution urging the Board of Trustees to increase their graduate Young Trustees from two to three.

This resolution marks the second that GPSC has passed this year, representing a notion of solidarity on the issue across each of Duke’s nine graduate and profes-sional schools. Currently, graduate Young Trustees serve the Board for two years, during the first of which they act only as an observing member. Under the terms of the resolution—which was passed at the Nov. 18 GPSC meeting—a second year of observation, would be added for a total of three serving years.

The proposed model more closely aligns itself with the system employed by undergraduate Young Trustees, in which a member serves for one observing year and two voting years.

“Duke does a really great job of mak-ing sure that the Trustees and the College in general are attuned to undergraduate needs,” said Ben Shellhorn, GPSC presi-dent and third-year J.D/M.B.A. candi-date. “Even though undergrads are out-numbered by graduate students, they are more of one cohesive unit.”

He explained that sometimes the grad-uate and professional student community feels as though the needs of undergradu-

ates are prioritized. The population of graduate and professional students on campus makes up nearly 60 percent of the total student body, but they are dis-persed through “hundreds” of different programs, making their needs seem less apparent, Shellhorn added.

By adding the voice of another gradu-ate Trustee, the needs and perspective of this large portion of the Duke commu-nity will be better represented, Shellhorn said.

“Young Trustees provide a really valu-able insight into the perspective of the students that they represent,” he said. “You aren’t acting as an undergraduate or a graduate.”

Alumnus founds new faculty chair with $1.25 donation

Jenna Zhang Local & National Editor

Karl Leo, Law ‘83, and his wife Fay have donated $1.25 million to secure a new professorship in law and entrepre-neurship at the Duke School of Law.

The Karl W. Leo Professorship is the most recent of eight faculty positions estab-lished at the School of Law through Duke For-ward, the University’s seven-year, $3.25 bil-lion capital campaign. Its addition to the School of Law’s faculty exceeds the school’s original campaign goal of funding seven new professorships. The professorship is also the fifth to be created with matching funds from a gift in 2011 from Stanley Star, Law ‘61, and his wife, Elizabeth.

“We are extraordinarily grateful to Karl and Fay Leo for their generosity and commitment to Duke Law,” Law Dean David Levi, said in a Duke News

release. “Their gift will deepen what is already one of our strongest fields of teaching and scholarship, and one that is of vital importance to our students and the profession.”

As of mid-November, the law school has raised 82 percent of its $85 million campaign goal. The $69.3 million that has already been raised will help add faculty positions and research funds, increase financial aid packages for stu-dents and advance academic programs

Leo—vice president and chief legal adviser for roofing supply company ABC Supply Co.—served as the editor of the Duke Law Journal while a student. He currently sits on the School of Law’s Board of Visitors.

“I think the greater the faculty is en-dowed, the greater the course offerings, the greater the practical offerings, the better prepared students will be for a career in business law,” Leo said in the release.

The gift contributes to the law school’s recent efforts toward advanc-ing its law and entrepreneurship area of study, which include developing Law and Entrepreneurship programs and securing scholarship funding for stu-

dents pursuing those degrees. Currently, 17 students are pursuing the two-semester Law and Entrepreneurship LLM Program, which began four years ago.

Leo’s donation will add to one of the fast-est growing areas of study at the Duke Law School, President Rich-ard Brodhead said.

“The integration of law with business and business-creation is an exciting approach that leads to re-al-world applications for our students,” Brodhead said in the release. “We’re grateful to Karl and Fay Leo for their generosity and vision in investing in this important new area of expertise.”

said. “The policy changes come with a lot of time, deliberation and input from a lot of different people. At the same time we’re trying to lift these [proactive] voices, there are still people saying we should push back or think logically.”

The #WeAreHereDuke campaign, Lam-bert said, is about creating a space on cam-pus where peoples’ voices can be heard—as survivors and as advocates, with men in-cluded.

“Women have obviously been leading this charge for forever and will continue to do it, but we need men to get involved,” Lambert said. “The hashtag is also for men to stand up, take action and effect change.”

The class’s performance Wednesday night—which conveyed to a full Sheafer Theater the powerful and haunting effects of sexual violence—included narratives from both women and men.

“We are not bad men, so therefore we are good men,” sophomore Andrew Tan-Delli Cicchi said in his monologue. “We are as useless as we are benign.”

The policy letter, which Lambert’s class presented to the Task Force Wednesday, contains data and input from Duke victim-survivors, Duke Student Government, the Women’s Center, the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity and Duke Support. The recommendations include offering students the option to see a female dean or administrator, barring offenders found responsible from pursuing certain campus leadership positions and making the defini-tion of sexual violence more inclusive for non-heterosexual or cisgendered orienta-tions and relationships.

“There are already a lot of reasons why someone doesn’t report, so it’s about mak-ing the process more in tune with someone who’s coming forward,” Lambert said, not-ing that changes can be made down to the room where student conduct hearings take place—with the possibility of making the partition that separates the accused and the accuser completely opaque. “Even some-thing that small can make a difference.”

Pollard added that in her own experi-ence, it was traumatic to be able to see the outline of the hands and feet of her perpe-

trator.She further emphasized the need for

information to be provided in a clear and succinct manner, perhaps most notably to incoming freshman. She added that DSG is currently working on a fact sheet on the sexual misconduct policy, which will pro-vide information to students in a more sa-lient way.

“There is a clear miscommunication [be-tween] what students know about the mis-conduct policy and what the administration wants students to know,” she said. “People need to be educated about the facts, about what actually happens when you report. There should be upfront information.”

Lambert added that Duke, and specifi-cally the Gender Violence Task Force, has been incredibly supportive of and receptive to her class’s work.

“We’re all trying to do the same thing,” Lambert said. “We’re all trying to make this better, to say we’re here, we are Duke and we are trying to move forward with this.”

Partnerships are key, Pollard said, add-ing that collaboration between different student groups allows their input to make more of an impact.

“I think when policies are simply pro-vided by the administration, it just seems very distant,” Pollard said. “If students bring forth changes and issues they see, other stu-dents will listen to them.”

This past week, A.O. Scott of The New York Times curated a conversation between a group of nine contemporary artists ranging from rapper J. Cole to poet Patricia Lockwood in order to ask the question: is our art equal to the challenges of our times? In his piece introducing the conversation, Scott was less interested in what constitutes the challenges of our times and more interested in what he calls “the political economy of art,” that is “how artists are affected by changes in the distribution of wealth and the definition of work.”

In response to Scott’s question, playwright Lisa D’Amour and writer Eddie Huang each posited a different response to the climate for artists today.

Lisa D’Amour: “It is nearly impossible now to live in a city with a part-time ‘money job’ and the rest of your week to discover your art. If you wake up every morning in a panic about money and security, it shuts down a lot of opportunity for creativity. This sentiment, of course, opens up a whole can of worms about privilege and who is allowed to take the risks of art making.”

Eddie Huang: “A lot of the things we’ve hung onto and leaned on, thinking they were forever, are falling apart, and people are being forced to think for themselves. For a while, Americans felt invincible, or that our economy was forever, but it’s not. We gave up a lot to the idea of trickle-down economics, intellectual property law, the market, neo-liberalism, and look where it’s gotten us? There is no middle class, there are no safe jobs, and when it’s cold outside, people start to develop skills. They start to question, and that’s when a society becomes dangerous in a

Recess chats with alum and musician Eric Oberstein

The Chronicle: To start off, can you briefly explain what you do at Duke?

Eric Obserstein: I am the associate director at Duke Performances. We are Duke’s professional Performing Arts Presenting Organization. I am kind of the utility player in the office: I manage and coordinate our artist residencies. So I oversee and plan all of the campus and community engagement our artists do when they come to town. That includes bringing them to Duke classes, organizing those public conversations, producing master classes...things like that. I also write grants in our office. I oversee budgeting and strategic planning and

Sid GopinathPlayground Editor

manage our student interns and work arts shows. So, wearing lots of different hats!

TC: What about outside of Duke Performances? How did you get involved with producing music?

EO: My background is as a musician. I play sax and drums. So, I am a Duke alum. I graduated in 2007. Long story short, I did Duke in New York as an undergrad my junior year and interned at Jazz at the Lincoln Center. The second resident orchestra there was the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, which is an 18-piece Latin jazz, big band ensemble directed by Arturo O’Farrill. Arturo is a pianist, composer, band leader and son of legendary Cuban composer and arranger Chico O’Farrill. So, Arturo was carrying on that legacy in New York.

That orchestra was at Jazz at the Lincoln Center when I was working there as an intern. When I graduated from Duke, the orchestra actually left Jazz at the Lincoln Center to start their own non-profit called the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance. It was fall of 2007. I was just newly minted with my Duke diploma, back home in New York, starting grad school. And they started a new residency at a venue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side called Symphony Space. I went to their very first show.

I was a big fan of theirs, so I filled out one of those little survey cards they put in programs, and then I flipped it over and wrote a small note to Arturo saying, “Hey, I’m a big fan of the orchestra. I interned at Jazz at the Lincoln Center. I’m in New York studying arts management and would love to help you out if you need any help with the non-profit.”

I didn’t hear from them, and then, finally, ten months later I got an email from Arturo’s wife. They had found my audience response card in their kitchen under a stack of papers and emailed me inviting me to their home asking if I wanted to help them out.

TC: Wow! That’s pretty crazy.

EO: Yeah! Never throw away those pieces of paper! It became very clear that we were going to do a lot of work together over the years.

My mom’s family came from Cuba after the Revolution when she was six, so I grew up around Cuban music, Latin music, Latin jazz, so this was kind of a dream opportunity for me. I started as Arturo’s Assistant Director. They had no staff at the time, and they had a small board of directors. So I started in that

role, and once I finished grad school, I was hired as their first full-time staff member–as their first executive director–and basically managed that organization full time from 2010 to 2012.

I returned to Duke in October 2012 at Aaron Greenwald’s invitation. I was Aaron’s very first intern at Duke Performances, so he was a close friend and mentor. It was hard to turn down that invitation.

So, the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance is a non-profit that I managed, and it–in addition to supporting the work of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra–is dedicated to Afro Latin Jazz performance, education, preservation at large. And I was involved in lots of different efforts while I was there.

But because of my background as a musician and because of my experience in the studio (I had done internships in studio settings before), Arturo invited me into the studio to produce, first, his sextet album in 2009, and then he invited me next to produce the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra’s third album, “40 Acres and a Burro.” So, you know, we developed this relationship.

So, there was the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, which was Arturo’s band that he founded. And then there was the Chico O’Farrill Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra. Chico O’Farrill, like I said, was Arturo’s dad. He passed away in 2001 and was a legendary composer who, kind of in the later stages of his life in the early 90s, enjoyed this resurgence in his career and started Big Band again at Birdland, which is a famed jazz club in Manhattan. Essentially, Arturo was called upon by his dad to direct the band because his dad was elderly at that point. His dad passed away in 2001, and Arturo continued to run the band until 2011. They performed every Sunday night for 15 years at Birdland. And that residency ultimately concluded in June of 2011. And this was six months after the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance brought that orchestra, the Chico O’Farrill Orchestra, to Cuba.

Chico O’Farrill passed away without ever returning to Cuba. He left after the revolution and was never able to return home. So it was kind of his wish to bring his musicians, his orchestra, even though he wasn’t around. We were able to bring his musicians down to headline the Havana Jazz Festival. Ultimately, after that–it was a really moving experience for all of us–Arturo decided that it was time to put his father’s band to rest and focus on his non-profit and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra’s work.

So we recorded the very final set by the orchestra at Birdland, June of 2011, because it was the last performance of this amazing orchestra and featured the music of Chico O’Farrill who, you know, was really cited as

being one of the major architects of modern Afro Cuban big band composition. To be able to record a live album with his musicians featuring his greatest works–it was an honor for me to be invited to be a part of that.

And to listen to the album, you can feel that it has this great, natural energy in the room. The musicians are playing their hearts out. The energy of the audience–you can hear it on the recording. And it was a lot of fun. Just a lot of fun to be a part of that.

We released it two years later on Zoho Music, a label out of New York, in August of 2013, and then it was nominated this past September for a Latin GRAMMY for Best Instrumental Jazz Album.

And, yeah! We found out this Thursday

before last that we won in that category.

TC: What was the process like to produce this album?

EO: Sure, sure. A producer can be many things. Often, in a studio setting, you are contracting with the musicians. You’re reserving studio space. You’re hiring the engineer. You’re raising the money. You’re ultimately recording and mixing and mastering and working with the label to release it.

That’s sort of what I do in the producing function. For this live album, this band had been a working band for fifteen years, so I wasn’t really contracting with guest artists. But I was contracting with the engineer. I worked with a great engineer named Bill Moss who we had done the previous album with, who also mixed and mastered the album, and then, yeah, worked with the label to release it. And to kind of follow the publicity campaign after that. And also raising some funds for the album as well.

TC: What was it like to win the Latin GRAMMY? Were you expecting it at all?

EO: It was…you know, you never…never can expect these things. This is a first for me. I wasn’t able to attend because the awards were in Las Vegas, but I was able to watch a live stream online. When they announced our name, I was just kind of in shock.

good way.”

These perspectives seem to represent two seemingly contradictory, yet co-existing ideas of how to make art: the time and space to create art often requires financial security, yet often art relevant to the challenges of our times is born from social, political and economic insecurity.

As I noted in a meditation on the novel last year, those who are most socioeconomically privileged in society are the ones who have the resources not only to create, but to market and sell their work. Artistic movements from marginalized identities are often public or freely available, such as graffiti, mix-tapes, zines or fan-fiction.

Each of these forms of art concern creating a space for those who are not given their own place in already-existing spaces. Graffiti can be a claim from those who lack positions of power in that space, like Palestinian graffiti on the Separation Barrier. Mix-tapes often consist of the sampling of popular songs in order to re-contextualize them to a new understanding. Zines are an alternative to mainstream magazines, just as fan-fiction is often about the inclusion of new narratives, like that of LGBT individuals or people of color, into mainstream series like Harry Potter, Star Wars or True Blood. But often these forms of art receive little to no financial compensation.

At lunch with students a few weeks back, writer Eula Biss discussed the different economy at play in the creative industries, describing it as an economy of kindness rather than financial compensation.

According to her, we pay for art not in money, but in recognition. We see this at work in our own lives whenever we share a particularly good article on our Facebook feed or when we snap at a great line from a slam poet. At an artistic protest last week in response to the situation in Ferguson, I saw Durham residents paying local artists with their presence. However, Facebook shares, snaps and attendance hardly feed or shelter artists, particularly those in already underprivileged communities.

I feel caught between my belief that art ought to be considered a public, freely-available good, but that, pragmatically, artists deserve and need compensation in order to make a living within our current society. The aim of art should not be capital gain, but I do

believe that creative work should be as valued as other forms of work.

In answering to the challenges of our times with art, I think that different modes of resistance must emerge. For underrepresented artists, resistance is in creation and claim to artistic space, but for those of us who are privileged by virtue of identity or class, I think there is a greater responsibility. We must not only be receptive to these stories, but we must also commit ourselves to valuing and paying for this creative work, both in money and in advocacy for social and artistic programs within underprivileged communities. Not only most our art rise to the challenges of our times, but we must too.

PUBPOL 290S.12 Inequality, Public Industrial & Developing Countries TTH 11:45-1:00pm Instructor: Sarah Bermeo

Spring 2014

This course will survey several issues displaying different forms or policy responses in various geographical regions and cultures. Examples include: competition over energy resources, design of international organization, trends of human migration, privatization of security, and patterns of economic inequality. An interdisciplinary approach with attention to political, economic and social patterns.

This course has at its center in-depth analysis of a global health issue where students work in groups of between 3 and 4 persons to 1) put together a timeline of the birth to present life-course of an assigned global health topic, 2) track their topic stakeholders in real-time by following their Twitter streams, and 3) critically evaluate global progress towards stated goals in these topic areas and how much we should trust the data that is being provided. The in-class group projects will be supplemented with interactive case studies and debates, readings that help develop skills to critically analyze whether global health is worth intervening in or not and how we should do it, and in-class panels and/or Skype discussions with practitioners in the field that will help students get a picture of the career options available to them in development.

Since the late 1970s, the United States has seen an increase in economic inequality that—coupled with disparities in terms of gender, race, social class, and other factors—has had important outcomes for the nation’s political landscape. Placing an emphasis on how lawmakers use public policy to address the challenge of disparity, this course examines the nature of inequality in the United States, the social and political factors that shape it, and the impact that it has on American democracy.

This is meant as a survey course for students interested in learning about the major issues in international relations between industrialized and developing countries. The goal of this course is to lay out the issues that define relations between rich and poor countries and to assess how these have changed over time. Topics include trade, foreign aid, peacekeeping, military interventions, migration, disease, trafficking, natural resources, climate change and others.

Two Duke students win a free trip to Hollywood

The arts at Duke have been growing: with programs and groups such as the Duke Entertainment and Media Arts Network (DEMAN) and the “Artstigators,” Duke is fully harnessing all that the field of media can offer. Through both faculty and alumni resources, Duke has sought to better connect students to the arts world and even offer opportunities to showcase student work to successful individuals in arts and media industries.

The Duke in Hollywood Challenge was one such opportunity. In mid-October, Duke students competed to design and create either a video or a logo for DEMAN and convey what DEMAN is through the respective mediums. The submissions were judged on effective communication, technique and aesthetic appeal by several notable alumni and faculty, including

Transformers Producer Mark Vahradian, Hunger Games producer Bryan Unkeless, Vice Provost for the Arts Scott Lindroth, Director of Duke in LA Karen Price, as well as Sterly Wilder and Inga Peterson from Duke Alumni Affairs. The winners of this competition receive a free trip to Hollywood and a VIP tour of Universal Studios, getting the chance to mingle with media giants like Vahradian and Unkeless.

DEMAN was looking to re-design their image and to promote what exactly the network is and how it can benefit students. The judges were looking for something that captured the essence of DEMAN, while also being aesthetically pleasing.

Unkeless commented, “When judging the contest I was seeking work that felt singular, professionally executed and represented Duke’s spirit.”

At the annual DEMAN weekend, the panel announced Jamie Kessler and Alex Elliot as winners of the contest for their logo and video designs,

respectively.Jamie Kessler is a senior English major with a Visual

Media Studies minor who, simply put, “loves the arts.” Here at Duke, Kessler has participated in both Duke in LA and Duke in New York and has been heavily involved with DEMAN and many other arts programs. Kessler has interned and worked for Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and United Talent Agency, and with these in-field experiences, she is motivated to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

Kessler designed her logo using Adobe Illustrator after running through possible themes that related to DEMAN. Her final logo, a speech bubble with DEMAN inscribed within, is representative of her perception of what DEMAN is all about.

“DEMAN, especiallym is about talking to others who are interested in similar fields, so that you can network and collaborate. It was my thought that a bubble could represent that well,” Kessler explained.

Alex Elliot, a junior Public Policy major, has dreamed of a career in the entertainment industry from an early age: when he was eight, Elliot began making films with a home camera. Elliot has explored his passion for media by participating in the Duke in LA program, during which he interned at Marc Platt Productions, a movie production company on the Universal Studios lot. This past summer, Elliot worked as a production assistant on the set of FOX’s Sleepy Hollow.

Elliot filmed his video using time-lapse photography: using a DSLR camera, he snapped a picture every “X” amount of seconds, spliced them together and sped the film up to play 24 frames, or pictures, per second.

“For the beginning of the video, I would take a picture, my beautiful actress would move an inch, and I would take another picture and repeat,” Elliot said.

Elliot’s inspiration for his video came from the growth of the arts at Duke. He often felt that Duke’s commitment to research and academia masks the presence of arts at the school.

“I tried to showcase the hubs of art across campus, from dance in the Ark off East Campus to the Center for Documentary Studies,” Elliot explained. “The arts initiatives on campus seem to be building bridges between these hubs and bringing these disciplines together.”

Bryan Unkeless echoed Elliot’s sentiment.“I have been impressed by Duke’s progression

toward supporting the arts. I love DEMAN’s goal to make sure students realize that pursuing a career in film, television, music or the arts is actually a viable option,” Unkeless said. “There is a vibrant Duke community working in these fields ready to offer perspective, support and guidance.”

The Duke in Hollywood Challenge is just one stepping stone to helping the winners pursue their dreams of a career in arts and media. Both Kessler and Elliot plan to use their trip to Hollywood as a chance to build connections and help establish themselves early within the industry.

“The trip to Hollywood is so useful to me as a senior. It could potentially allow me to interview or meet new contacts that could help me find career opportunities,” Kessler said. “I have enjoyed my prior experiences tremendously and hope to get a permanent position at either an agency or television network.”

“Last semester, during the Duke in LA program, I gained experience working at a Hollywood film production company and learned a great deal about the industry itself,” Elliot said. “I would most like to work at an agency, a film production company or a studio.”

Kessler’s and Elliot’s prize-winning works will be displayed on social media starting today. Kessler’s and the other finalists’ logos can be found on the Artstigators’ Instagram and Twitter, account while Elliot’s and the other finalists’ videos will be on their YouTube channel.

Blue Devils suffer second straight road setbackDuke dug itself an early hole and fell to No. 12 Nebraska in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge

Without Elizabeth Williams, Duke’s youth is looking for a

way to close out games

In its second consecutive road game against a top-15 opponent, No. 9 Duke hoped to once again prove that they belong among the top teams in the country.

For the second game in a row, the Blue Devils were done in by offensive struggles down the stretch in a tight contest.

“You have to really hunker down in the last five minute of the game, ” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “The intelligence and immediacy and intelligence quotient is going up at the end of the game.”

Down 22-9 with 9:37 left in the first half against No. 12 Nebraska, it appeared as though Duke (5-2) was in danger of being blown off the floor. Without senior Eliz-

Bobby Colton

LINCOLN, Neb.—With Elizabeth Williams sidelined by an ankle injury for the second game in a row, the Blue Devils again came up just short.

Despite an impressive 16-point, 9-rebound performance from freshman Azurá Stevens

in her first career start, No. 9 Duke couldn’t make enough plays down the stretch, fall-ing 60-54 to No. 12 Ne-braska Wednesday at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The Blue Devils have now lost two consecutive games for the first time since the 2007-08 sea-son—both to top-15 opponents.

The Duke team that defeated No. 2 Wis-consin 80-70 Wednesday night was not the

Blue Devil basketball team we have be-come accustomed to through the season’s first seven games.

In the first half, Amile Jefferson had

zero rebounds. Tyus Jones had one assist. Jus-tise Winslow failed to score and coughed up the ball three times. Quinn Cook and Jahlil Okafor were effective when they were on the court, but both picked up two quick fouls and didn’t play their regular heavy allotment of minutes.

The defense was practically unrecogniz-able for the Blue Devils. The switching was constant, which led to Jones covering the likes of Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker, while Marshall Plumlee gave his patented frenetic effort in his futile attempts to stop Wisconsin’s guards. Luckily for the visitors, the switching didn’t hurt Duke, as it wasn’t until 53 seconds remained in the game that Kaminsky finally got the ball to post up a Blue Devil point guard.

The offense as a whole also looked out of sorts. A team that has averaged more than 24 free throw attempts per game failed to get to the charity stripe even once in the first 20 minutes. Although Duke was getting easier looks than the Badgers, they certainly

weren’t taking easy shots. Time and again the Blue Devil guards would get into the paint only to take a tough, contested shot through Wisconsin’s massive front line.

Through all of these struggles Duke had a few players who were able to keep the team afloat. Tyus Jones will be dubbed the hero for his play—and every bit of the credit attribut-ed to him is deserved after he scored a ca-reer-high 22 points on 7-of-11 shooting, tied

the team-high with six rebounds and led the team with four assists.

But the performances of Rasheed Sulai-mon and Matt Jones cannot be understated.

this is an imageThe need for ‘Sheed was apparent immediately after the 6-foot-5 guard stepped on the court, as he canned a 3-pointer coming off of a screen to respond to sophomore Bronson Koenig’s triple. In addition to his tenacious defense, Sulaimon

scored a season-high 14 points, grabbed three rebounds and doled out a pair of as-sists.

Fans know Sulaimon can be an electric scorer, but that simply hasn’t been his game this season. Once a flashy scorer, as a junior, Sulaimon has become content to be an or-chestrator instead of a finisher, distributing and setting up his teammates instead of light-ing up the scoreboard himself.

But Wednesday night Sulaimon turned back the clock, showing a renewed fire and desire on the offensive end. He attacked the rim on one possesion, then stepped back and burned the defense from beyond the arc on the next. In short, he was a nightmare for anyone trying to contest him.

Then there was Matt Jones. The Desoto, Texas, native has been surprisingly potent as a scorer this year after struggling to make an impact in that department as a freshman. But tonight he was vintage Matt Jones—the gritty defender never afraid to sacrifice his body for the good of the team. He didn’t make an im-pact from beyond the arc, though the team didn’t shoot as freely as it usually does, so it’s hard to blame his quiet offensive day.

Perhaps no play better encapsulate’s Jones’ impact Wednesday than the moment in the first half when he laid out for a loose ball, knocking it toward Winslow, who flung it ahead for a thunderous Plumlee dunk.

Duke Episcopal chaplain to assume new position in N.Y.

It’s a complex time in the history of the Church—

society’s attitute toward the Church is changing, which presents a challenge, but it’s an exciting challenge.

— Nils Chittenden

Rachel Chason University Editor

Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia CommonsNils Chittenden will leave the University in Jan. to assume a position as Rector of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, pictured above, in Armonk, N.Y.

Rev. Nils Chittenden, who has served as Chaplain of the Duke Episcopal Cen-ter since 2010, will depart in January to assume a position as Rector of St Ste-phen’s Episcopal Church in Armonk, N.Y.

Chittenden said he has enjoyed his time at Duke—citing the connections he has formed with students, his work on the Episcopal Center’s renovation and his collaboration with other cam-pus ministries as several highlights of his time on campus. Although he will miss the “immensely dedicated and pas-sionate” students and faculty with whom he developed friendships, he said taking this next opportunity “felt right.”

“I’m most excited about working to make the Church something that is important in people’s lives,” Chitten-den said. “It’s a complex time in the history of the Church—society’s attitude toward the Church is changing, which presents a challenge, but it’s an ex-citing challenge.”

Chittenden, who came to Duke fol-lowing eight years working at the Uni-versity of Durham, England, said it took some time to understand the philosophy

Nils Chittenden

and functioning of an American university. However, he quickly grew to love his work and the people he met at Duke, forming strong relationships across the University.

Part of Chittenden’s job involved providing spiritual counseling to those who sought it. He emphasized that he was not only present for Episcopalian students.

“My goal, not to be a chaplain only for Episcopalian students, but a chap-lain who could provide an Episcopalian perspective for any students seeking that,” Chittenden said.

He said he was particularly impressed by the religious com-munity across different denominations at Duke–emphasizing the impor-tance of collaboration across the more than 20 ministries, Christian and non-Christian, that the University supports.

“Talking to other campus ministers across the country, it’s clear

that what we have at Duke is unique,” Chittenden said. “The collaboration and personal friendships across ministries is truly remarkable.”

Chittenden also focused on the Epis-copal Center’s building on Central

Campus, which he described as being “rather sorry for itself” when he arrived in 2010. In the last four years, he has helped renovate the building, making improvements that he said has made it a “great resource” for the community.

He said one other thing he will miss about Duke is the 50-bell carillon played at 5 p.m. every weekday and emphasized that all students should have the oppor-

tunity to go to the Chapel. This Sunday at 7 p.m., students will have the oppor-tunity to gather outside the chapel for the third-year of Advent Lessons and Carols—a candlelit service Chittenden helped start.

“I encourage all students to stop by,” Chittenden said. “The candles, the dark-ness, it’s a remarkable spiritual experi-ence.”

abeth Williams—who missed her second straight game with an ankle injury—and with leading scorer Rebecca Greenwell not finding many open looks, the Blue Devils faced an uphill climb with a young roster in a hostile road environment.

But Duke would respond on the backs of a strong defensive effort, holding Nebraska (7-0) without a field goal for the final 5:21 of the first half and cutting the Cornhusker lead to 28-27 going into halftime.

“I think we fought back well,” said fresh-man Azura Stevens, who made her first career start and led Duke with 16 points in the loss. “We could’ve been better defensively, but for what we had and without Elizabeth, I thought we fought back.”

A back-and-forth struggle persisted through-out the second half and with 3:19 remaining in the game, the Blue Devils could not have asked to be in a better position—down just two points despite a poor shooting night.

But in those critical minutes, Duke went into a shell on offense—the Blue Devils scored just four points the rest of the way—and was done in by one of its biggest strengths: rebounding.

“We just did not get the stops we needed at the time we needed them and [the Corn-huskers] did a great job of finding their best players down the stretch,” McCallie said.

On a night when Duke built up a 47-34 rebounding advantage—including 18

W. BASKETBALLcontinued from page 9

Duke (5-2) claimed the advantage in most statistical categories, including a commanding 47-34 edge on the glass, but couldn’t make the big stop when it needed one.

“You look down at the categories [on the stat sheet], to win all five down at the bottom right—points in the paint, points off turnovers, fast break—we were five for five, we won all of them,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “Usually when that is the case, you might take the game.”

In the first half, the veteran Cornhuskers (7-0) looked to get out in transition against a Blue Devil team starting three freshmen for the second time in program history. During the first six minutes, Nebraska shot 6-of-7 from the field and took an early 13-8 lead by push-ing the pace, giving the Blue Devil defense lit-tle time to set up. Duke struggled to score in a slower half-court offense, but used offensive rebounds to stay in the game.

Duke (5-2) surrendered a 15-point lead in the second half against No. 6 Texas A&M Sunday, but Wednesday night it was the Blue Devils who fell behind early.

After a TV timeout, the Cornhuskers blasted the Blue Devils with a 9-1 run to take a commanding 22-9 lead. To cap off the run, Nebraska guard Rachel Theriot hit a transi-tion three to send the Cornhusker crowd into a frenzy and forced McCallie to call a timeout.

Theriot finished with a game-high 17 points, one of three Nebraska players to reach double-figures.

When play resumed, the Blue Devils inched their way back into the game, scoring their next four points from the charity stripe across seven minutes of game time. Duke went more than eight minutes without a field goal, a lengthy drought that finally ended at the 7:18 mark when junior Mercedes Riggs pump-faked and then drained a wide open triple to cut the Ne-braska lead to 24-16. By the time the Blue Devils headed to the locker room, they had trimmed the deficit to 28-27 behind a late 15-4 run.

“We fought back well,” Stevens said. “We could’ve played better defensively, but for what we had, not having Elizabeth, I thought we fought back and gave Nebraska a run for their money.”

Neither team shot the ball well in the first half. Duke made its living at the free-throw line, where the Blue Devils were 10-of-12 compared to only four Cornhusker attempts. Both teams shot especially poorly from downtown, posting identical 14.3 percent shooting clips.

Nebraska’s senior frontcourt paved the way in the first half behind eight-point efforts from Hailie Sample and Emily Cady. Often, the Cornhuskers rotated the ball through the duo to open shooters on the perimeter, but when the deep treys failed to fall, the pair took it upon themselves to do the burden of the scoring.

Sample and Cady finished with 29 points between them on 10-of-14 shooting.

Playing without Williams—a three-time All-American who averages 14.0 points and 9.8 rebounds per game—the young Blue Dev-ils are still learning how to handle the nation’s best competition. The ability to fight back into the game after digging a big hole was encour-aging, but execution down the stretch is still a work in progress.

“It’s December. From our standpoint—we started three freshmen,” McCallie said. “It’s going to take a long time for us to put all the pieces together, and getting Elizabeth back. It’s going to be really exciting.”

In the second half, both offenses began to establish more of a rhythm. Cady was aggres-sive once again, twirling to the basket to open up the scoring. When another Cornhusker

bucket made the score 32-27, Greenwell re-sponded with a triple from the top of the key.

After Sample retaliated with a quick two, Ste-vens briefly took over the game. The Raleigh, N.C., native scored eight quick points in one impressive spurt and was also active clogging the passing lanes. After flying from the post to rip the ball from the Cornhuskers, Stevens started a fast break that led to a transition layup by Green-well gave Duke its first lead of the night 36-34.

“I’m really proud of Azura as a freshman. She’s playing both the four and the three as a freshman—that’s almost unheard of, playing in-side and out,” McCallie said. “She’s going to have a heck of a time when Elizabeth gets back.”

The teams went back and forth for the re-mainder of the half. Even without Williams, who also missed Sunday’s game at Texas A&M, the Blue Devils commanded a significant size advantage down low, and racked up 18 offen-sive boards, including five from Stevens. Duke shot just 31.7 percent from the floor, but 21 second-chance points kept the Blue Devils right with the Cornhuskers.

With Nebraska leading 55-52, Cady cor-ralled a crucial offensive rebound with 49.1 seconds remaining and nailed a jumper to put Duke in a five-point deficit. Forced to extend the game by fouling, the Blue Devils ran out of time as the Cornhuskers converted from the line to seal the win.

Duke’s difficult December stretch continues Sunday at 1 p.m. when the Blue Devils welcome top-ranked South Carolina to Cameron Indoor Stadium. McCallie’s young squad will have to execute for a full 40 minutes if it hopes to pull the upset and avoid a third consecutive loss.

YOUTHcontinued from page 9

offensive rebounds—it was a Nebraska offensive rebound and put-back by senior forward Emily Cady with 52 seconds re-maining that sealed the deal.

On the offensive end, the Blue Devils mis-fired on eight of their 10 crunch-time pos-sessions—indicative of most of the night for Duke, who shot less than 32 percent as a team.

With two games against top-notch compe-tition under their belt, the Blue Devils have certainly shown that they are capable of hang-ing tight with any team in the country. Yet the biggest question remains as to how Duke can manufacture enough quality possessions down the stretch to win hard-fought slugfests such as Wednesday’s, particularly without Williams.

“I have no idea who picked them sixth in the Big Ten. I would like to know how that happened,” McCallie said. “If I were them, they should be beside themselves because they are a really good team…. This is by far the best Nebraska team I’ve ever seen.”

A good deal of the struggle in the consec-utive losses has stemmed from the absence of All-American center Elizabeth Williams. The senior has been rock solid for Duke through-out her four years on campus—both as a lead-er and as a superstar performer. Without Wil-liams in the last two contests, the Blue Devils have lacked the dominant post threat neces-sary to free up Greenwell and others for open perimeter looks.

Instead, Duke has tried to run its offense through other options such as Stevens, who has responded well and averaged 15.5 points in her last two outings. The Raleigh, NC na-tive will continue to improve with more expe-rience, but could get even more opportunities once Williams is back healthy and attracting attention from defenses.

“We could’ve really used a double-double performer with a million blocks,” said McCallie. “It’s no excuse at all, but the reality is that that’s an All-American center missing…. It’s been un-fortunate, our schedule and her injury.”

With an encounter with top-ranked South Carolina looming Sunday, Duke has yet anoth-er chance to improve its late-game execution and come out with a much-needed victory.

the end of the clock and he executed that well and just showed a lot poise.”

The Badgers managed to keep the game close behind their 3-point shooting, as they went 9-of-21 from long range. But as good as the home team was from downtown, the Blue Devils (8-0) were even better, knocking down 7-of-12.

The marquee matchup within the top-5 clash was supposed to be between Okafor and Kaminsky. The battle in the paint only partial-ly lived up to the hype throughout the contest due to Okafor’s foul trouble—he picked up his fourth with more than five minutes left in the game and had to go back to the bench.

Okafor used his size and strength early, backing down Kaminsky to put the Blue Devils on the board first to go ahead 2-0. After Ka-minsky began denying entry passes, Duke was forced to take more time running through its

sets in order to get good looks.this is an imageOn offense, Kaminsky got

the crowd into it early, answering Okafor’s bucket with a pair of 3-pointers. The long ball would continue to be the shot of choice for the Badgers, as they went 0-of-9 on two-point field goal attempts through the first nine min-utes but used four 3-pointers to keep pace with the Blue Devils.

Kaminsky wound up with the better stat line, pacing the Badger frontcourt with 17 points and nine boards.

“We just said, ‘Battle in the post’ and our kids battled,” Krzyzewski said. “Kaminsky’s a great player and he and Jah kind of nullify one another because there’s so much attention for both of them.”

But as the talented big men battled down low, the Blue Devil backcourt showed why it is one of the top units in the nation.

A Nigel Hayes and-one gave the Badgers a 43-42 lead with 15:09 left in the contest. But

as soon as it fell behind, Duke answered right back to take the lead following a Jones free throw and a 3-pointer from junior Rasheed Sulaimon. From that point on, the Blue Devils would not relinquish the lead.

With Jones’ performance stealing the spot-light in the prime-time matchup, the Blue Devil bench and defense proved to be the two unsung heroes for Duke.

Sulaimon entered the game following the first media timeout and immediately made his presence felt, drilling a trey from the top of the arc to tie the game at 12. The Houston na-tive finished the game with 14 points.

“Rasheed had a great game tonight,” Krzyzewski said. “Rasheed is ready. He comes off the bench, he has embraced the role of be-ing like that energizer. So when our freshmen see that the upperclassmen are really are kind of setting the table for them, it helps a lot.”

Wisconsin was caught off-guard by the Duke defense in the first half, as the Blue Devils switched on nearly every screen. Duke has not done this consistently yet this year and

The highlight reels will show Plumlee’s big finish, but without Jones, that play never hap-pens. The effort showed the sort of aggres-siveness Jones played with all night, and that is the reason he consistently finds himself on the court with the game on the line.

The Duke team that came out of the locker room for the second half more closely resem-bled the team we are used to watching. Okafor scored nine points in the period, Winslow made some timely plays and managed to get on the scoreboard and as a team the Blue Dev-ils finally got to the free throw line.

At the end of the day, there are plenty of positives to take from Duke’s win Wednesday night. Shooting 65.2 percent from the field is impressive against any team, let alone the notoriously difficult Badgers. The defense kept Kaminsky in check for most of the eve-ning, and rendered Dekker a virtual non-en-tity. But nothing is more impressive than the fact that the Blue Devils were able to go into a hostile environment against the No. 2 team in the nation, go away from the regular blue-print, and still win relatively handily.

That’s the big takeaway from the biggest game of the college basketball season to date. And that’s the reason why this Duke team has a chance to be special.

the Badgers did not seem to anticipate the change. Freshman forward Justise Winslow created two steals, including one that led to a Marshall Plumlee breakaway dunk after Winslow dove to the ground for the ball after poking it loose and threw it ahead to put Duke up 16-12.

Winslow and Sulaimon effectively iced the game with less than 1:30 left, as Winslow broke free for a monster dunk and Sulaimon forced a Wisconsin travel to give Duke the ball back with a 73-65 lead. The Blue Devils made seven of eight free-throw attempts in the final min-ute to secure the win.

“We stuck together,” Sulaimon said. “We kind of had the mentality we knew we were going to come in here and not many people were going to be on our side. So we played for each other.... At the end of the day, in this tough environment against this veteran team like that, we won because we stuck together.”

Duke will get a 12-day reprieve following Wednesday’s win, and will take the court again Dec. 15 at home against Elon.

according to a new list by the Depart-ment of Health and Human Services on Wednesday. Duke Medicine has been alarmed by two potential cases of Ebola since August, both of which proved to be false.

The first case appeared Oct. 15, when a baby who had recently traveled to West Africa was admitted to Duke Regional Hospital after displaying symptoms of fever. The second case involved an in-dividual returning to the United States

from Liberia, who was brought to Duke University Hospital after displaying a fe-ver.

The outbreak has resulted in the deaths of more than 5,000 people, ac-cording to the World Health Organi-zation. WHO has deemed the current situation stable in Guinea and noted a declining trend in Liberia. This level of progress has not been noted in Sierra Leone, however.

Travel restrictions were in place for Sierra Leone prior to the outbreak for security reasons, and restrictions were placed on Liberia and Guinea in August as the outbreak spread. Restrictions on Nigeria came later this fall.

This is not the first time that GPSC has discussed amending the Young Trustee process. Shellhorn said informal talks of the addition began four or five years ago but were not well received by administra-tion. The passed resolution marks the first official push for a change to the process.

Currently, the Board has 36 members, including the five total Young Trustees. The resolution proposes two possible ways in which this number could be altered to increase graduate representation—either by expanding to 37 total members or by removing one non-Young Trustee repre-sentative.

Although unsure about whether the proposed changes will come to fruition, Shellhorn said he was “optimistic” about the outcome. Preliminary talks with Presi-dent Richard Brodhead and University Secretary Richard Riddell have indicated the administration is receptive to the idea of change, he said.

“Duke University thrives on the re-

search, knowledge and connections of its faculty and students. With three years to serve the Duke community, Young Trust-ees would have more time to forge bonds with the Trustees and with the world around Duke, allowing them to represent Duke University more effectively,” said Shannon O’Connor, fifth year MD/Ph.D. student in biomedical engineering, in a press release following the Nov. 18 GPSC meeting.

O’Conner was elected graduate Young Trustee in Februrary and is currently serv-ing as an observing member. The current voting graduate Young Trustee is Kather-ine Duch who graduated with a Ph.D. in public policy in 2013.

Unlike the undergraduate Young Trustees—who are elected by a student-wide vote—graduate representatives are selected through a vote by GPSC.

The next meeting of the Board of Trustees will take place Dec. 5 and 6.

“One of the primary goals that GPSC is expressing is the desire here to be heard,” Shellhorn said in the press release follow-ing the GPSC meeting. “This compromise achieves that end on both the committee level as well as the full board.”
