Sent Packing: The Blue Devils were upset on the road by a relentless Wolfpack team

Sophia Durand | The ChronicleN.C. State fans rushed the court in the aftermath of the Wolfpack’s 87-75 victory over the Blue Devils Sunday. No. 2 Duke suffered its first loss.

RALEIGH, N.C.—Duke’s backcourt had outplayed its counterpart in every game this season.

Not Sunday.Ralston Turner poured in three triples in

the first five minutes of the second half to help turn a close game into a rout, as N.C. State dealt No. 2 Duke its first loss of the season, an 87-75 defeat Sunday afternoon at PNC Arena.

Turner combined with redshirt junior Trevor Lacey to score 37 points, pouring in 12 of their 22 field goal attempts. Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon combined for 21 points for Duke, but Matt Jones and Tyus

Jones went just 2-of-13 from the field.“We let them get comfortable,” freshman

Justise Winslow said. “We didn’t set the tempo, we didn’t pressure them as much as we could, and they were able to get a rhythm and get it going.”

Sophomore Matt Jones made his first start of the season and was assigned to keep tabs on Lacey, but the redshirt junior got off to a hot start and never slowed down. Lacey made his first four shots—including a pair of triples—and had 10 points halfway through the open-ing period. The Alabama transfer finished with 21 points.

Trailing at halftime for the first time all season, Duke (14-1, 2-1 in the ACC) clawed back to within 50-48, but the Wolfpack (12-5, 3-1) bolted ahead on a 16-4 run to go up 66-52

with 7:01 remaining. The lead would grow as large as 19 before the Blue Devils mounted a comeback bid.

A 3-pointer by Quinn Cook cut the lead to 72-64 with 3:07 remaining, as Duke used an 11-0 run and three N.C. State turnovers to make things interesting. But a follow-up jam by sophomore BeeJay Anya on a Turner 3-point attempt with 2:20 remaining put the Wolfpack back up by double-digits.

From there, N.C. State hit free throws and got some late transition baskets to close out the win and send hundreds of students spill-ing onto the court when the buzzer sounded.

“It was irritating because we all sensed it,” Sulaimon said. “We just have to be more

Emma Baccellieri News Editor

Center’s first major upgrade fea-tures new machines and a private

exercise studio, pool and spa

After eight months of renovations totaling $4 million, the Duke Health and Fitness Center will reopen today.

The center is part of the Center for Living Campus off of Erwin Road and has been housed in the nearby Diet and Fitness Center since May 2014, while the original building was gutted and renovated. The revamped structure includes new equipment, new flooring and a saline pool—upgrades to a space that has always strived to differentiate itself as welcoming to gym rats of all skill levels.

“I didn’t feel when we closed for renovations that we were up to our standards or what our clients deserve,” said Maria Nardini, director of the center. “We’re there now.”

For many of the center’s members, the changes are a welcome update to an exercise environment that they have always seen as special. Though anyone can become a member at the center, many of the clients are patients from Duke University Health System—and the opportunity to exercise in a low-pressure environment where they can receive individualized help to match their health situation is appreciated.

“You walk around and see people just like you,” said center member Cindy McAbee, a Durham resident who began exercising at the center as part of a rehabilitation program for arthritis 10 years ago. “We were all like, ‘We can’t wait to be back [in the new center].’”

McAbee has continued working out

Cold gives K-Ville slow start

“I’ve been tenting here for two days and I haven’t slept here

yet,” says student

Georgia Parke Executive Digital Editor

Tenting 2015 has kicked off, but a pattern of below-freezing weather has given it a slow start.

So far, 26 tents have registered for black tenting—with seven more pend-ing—which lasts until Jan. 18 at 11 p.m. All but two of those have been on Krzyzewskiville grounds since the first night, last Thursday, but not one of them had to stay through the night until Sun-day. Due to the cold temperatures, line monitors called grace in K-ville and sent tenters back to their beds for the first three nights.

“I’ve been tenting here for two days and I haven’t slept here yet,” said se-nior Tom Puglisi, a member of a tent made from a yurt kit.

Several first-time and veteran tenters noted their surprise after setting up camp and being sent home for three consecutive nights.

“All of us are looking forward to be-ing in for the first night… It’s nice hav-ing everyone together and that’s what

makes tenting so fun,” said sophomore Sai Panguluri, a second-time black ten-ter. “That’s the best part—having ev-eryone stuck in here together freezing, ordering pizza, bonding.”

Grace is called for a variety of rea-sons, mostly after line checks and dur-ing men’s and women’s basketball games. When the temperature dips be-low 25 degrees, K-ville policy mandates that grace is given.

“Safety of the tenters is a top priori-ty,” senior and co-head line monitor Mi-chael Marion wrote in an email Sunday. “While it’s probably a little unusual, it’s certainly not without precedent—

the snowpocalypse last year led to above-average durations of grace.”

Some residents of K-ville, however, are happy that the cold weather has kept them out of their recently-adopted dwellings.

“There’s a song called Amazing Grace—that’s

how I felt,” said freshman Jonathan Osei. “Amazing grace, I’m done for the night.”

K-ville can hold up to 100 tents—with black and blue tents each capped at a maximum of 70, and white at a maximum of 30.

After black tenting ends Jan. 18, two weeks of blue tenting will begin, fol-lowed by two weeks of white tenting.The home game against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will be held Feb. 18 at 9 p.m.

While it’s probably a little unusual,

it’s certainly not without precedent—the snowpoca-lypse last year led to above-average durations of grace.

at the center through two hip replacements and a series of cancer treatments. The welcoming atmosphere she has found at the center has been a large part of her commitment to staying healthy, she said.

Nardini noted that creating a comfortable and inviting environment is a priority for the center’s staff, adding that everything down to employees’ attire is chosen so as to make clients of all abilities feel welcome.

The center used to host Duke’s cardio and pulmonary rehabilitation programs, which gave it a reputation as being primarily for older exercisers. But those programs have since relocated, and the center is welcome to people of all ages, Nardini said.

Built in 1991, the center’s recent renovations are its first major upgrade. The refurbished structure features a new floor, expanded space for new machines, a new private exercise studio and a saline pool and spa. The building also has added a second floor, which will soon house Duke’s sports medicine services.

Sports medicine’s current home of the Finch-Yeager Building will be torn down in February as part of the Wallace Wade Stadium project.

The center’s members were given an advance look at the renovated structure Friday, and many said they approved of the fresh look.

“I’m glad it’s gotten the attention it needed,” said McAbee, who works at Durham VA Medical Center. “I can’t wait to work out here.”

In addition to patients from DUHS, Duke faculty and staff also make up a significant portion of the center’s clients. About 30 to 35 percent of the 1,800 clients work at Duke, said membership coordinator Debbie Carter.

But as much as the upgrade is appreciated, for some, returning to the center has been something to look forward to in and of itself.

“It’s home,” McAbee said of the center. “These people are home.”

How Early Health Affects Children’s Life Chances

For children of all races and ethnicities, birth weights have strong relationships with later test scores, according to research by David Figlio. Furthermore, children’s early health affects not only their own intellectual performance but also that of their siblings.

Figlio will describe the profound effects of early child health on children’s cognitive development, using data that follow 1.6 million Florida children from birth through their school years. His research suggests that investing in early health interventions positively helps both unhealthy children and their siblings.

As director of Northwestern University’s Institute for Policy Research, Figlio conducts research on a wide range of educational and tax issues, from school accountability and standards to welfare policy and policy design. He has advised several U.S. states and foreign nations on the design, implementation, and evaluation of educational policies. Figlio is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a member of the executive board of the National Center for the Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research.

RALEIGH, N.C.—With the AP Preseason Player of the Year controlling the post and several talented players complementing him on the perimeter, the Blue Devils were supposed to be a team that could beat you by dominating the paint or winning the battles on the perimeter. Or both.

That was the blueprint to success for this Duke squad, and it had worked in each of the first 14 games. The Blue Devils ran their offense through Jahlil Okafor, who outmuscled his way past several teams and freed up space for his teammates on the wing. On the rare occasions when teams were able to slow him down, Okafor’s teammates picked up the slack and carried the team to victory.

Except Sunday against N.C. State, the roles were reversed.

No. 2 Duke suffered its first loss of the season Sunday afternoon in an 87-75 upset at PNC Arena, where the Blue Devils have now dropped three straight. The Wolfpack took the lead near the end of the first half and never looked back, holding the lead for every second after halftime.

“We responded okay [to being down at half for the first time],” guard Rasheed Sulaimon said. “The second half played out a little bit before they made that big run and I think we just let up and they just kept

N.C. State beat Duke at its own game in Sunday upset Kennedy Tower, Williams Track continue renovations

With the completion and dedication of Kennedy Tower Saturday morning, another domino fell in the continuing wave of renovations and facility upgrades across the Duke athletics landscape.

The 11,000 square-foot, four-story tower sits adjacent to Koskinen Stadium and the Morris Williams Track and Field complex—also recently-completed—and will support Duke’s men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer and track and field athletes.

“I don’t know of a facility quite like this in the country,” said Kevin White, vice president and director of athletics, following Saturday’s dedication ceremony. “It serves a heck of a lot of our student-athletes—about 25 percent of our program will be represented by this building.... It helps us not only in recruitment but in their experience, which then has an effect on the next generation of recruitment.”

Kennedy Tower and the many other ongoing and upcoming athletics-related consturction projects are being financed through donations as part of Duke Forward, the University’s $3.25 billion fundraising campaign. During Saturday’s dedication ceremony, White indicated that Duke is about 70 percent through the campaign, noting that the athletics department has raised around $250 million, with $130 million of that figure designated for the facility upgrades.

Construction on Kennedy Tower and the Williams track complex, as well as renovations to Koskinen Stadium that included new bleachers, cost around $9 million, Deputy Director of Athletics Mike Cragg said.

The new track, which will host its first meet April 11, is made of the same material as the track at famous Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon.

“It’s going to be tremendous competitively,” director of track and field Norm Ogilvie said. “With this track not around a football field, it has a much wider turn radius, so the times will be the faster. For the throwers it’s

fantastic because we have all four throwing events located in the middle of the infield, front and center, instead of off in a distant field someplace.... It’s going to be great for recruiting as well.”

The biggest chunk of the $130 million raised for facilities upgrades is beginning to take shape, as crews have been hard at work since Nov. 29 on the beginning phases of a two-year renovation of Wallace Wade Stadium.

After ripping out the track that once surrounded the football field, crews dug down eight feet, lowering the playing field to allow for additional seats to be added to bring fans

closer to the action.“We’re down on that level, we’ve started

doing the footings of the new stands, how low they go into there, and the scoreboard comes down on Monday,” Cragg said. “The rain comes next week, so thankfully we’re ahead of schedule.... Everything we expected down there was there—no surprises.”

Cragg said the next step in the renovations—demolition of the Finch-Yeager Building, which houses the press box, coordinator booths and Duke Sports

going. We couldn’t get out of it and they opened up the lead to 19 at one point. Any time you get on the road and you’re down by that much, it’s hard to come back.”

Instead of Okafor and fellow freshman Justise Winslow throwing down monstrous dunks, it was those adorned in white and red—BeeJay Anya, Abdul-Malik Abu and Desmon Lee—who cashed in wide-open looks at the rim and frequently sent the crowd into a frenzy with thunderous jams.

And it was not guards Tyus Jones, Quinn Cook or Rasheed Sulaimon who

were feeding these open looks down low and pouring in shots from the outside, but rather the N.C. State duo of Trevor Lacey and Ralston Turner who made the key plays and big shots from the outside that swung the game.

Lacey and Turner combined to put up 37 points, highlighted by shooting a staggering 9-of-14 from 3-point range. The Blue Devils gave Matt Jones his first start of the season in the hopes that he could slow down Lacey, but even the athletic combination of Jones and Sulaimon couldn’t slow down the

Wolfpack guards.“They made some tough shots, but at

the same time we gave them some easy ones early that gave them confidence,” Sulaimon said. “That’s on us. But they did a great job and they made shots.”

The Wolfpack totaled 10 blocks on the afternoon, led by four apiece from Anya and 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Kyle Washington. N.C. State’s quartet of big men rotated and hounded Okafor with constant double teams, applying enough pressure to throw him off rhythm.

Even though Okafor finished with 23 points and 12 boards, much of that success came during Duke’s fast start or desperate comeback attempt—when the game was all but decided. N.C. State outscored Duke 40-26 in the paint, gaining an edge in an area where the Blue Devil offense loves to operate.

The Wolfpack also put on an impressive display of interior passing, tallying 18 assists on the afternoon and earning several easy looks from point-blank range. The Blue Devils had no answer for the Wolfpack’s big bodies—especially Anya, who had 10 crucial points in the second half to help build the lead—leading head coach Mike Krzyzewski to make an assessment of N.C. State that one of Duke’s first 14 opponents could have said about the Blue Devils.

“If you double [down low], you’ll be

During Saturday’s dedication ceremony, White indicated that Duke is about 70 percent through the campaign, noting that the athletics department has raised around $250 million, with $130 million of that figure designated for the facility upgrades.

Construction on Kennedy Tower and the Williams track complex, as well as renovations to Koskinen Stadium that included new bleachers, cost around $9 million, Deputy Director of Athletics Mike Cragg said.

The new track, which will host its first meet April 11, is made of the same material as the track at famous Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon.

“It’s going to be tremendous competitively,” director of track and field Norm Ogilvie said. “With this track not around a football field, it has a much wider turn radius, so the times will be the faster. For the throwers it’s

fantastic because we have all four throwing events located in the middle of the infield, front and center, instead of off in a distant field someplace.... It’s going to be great for recruiting as well.”

The biggest chunk of the $130 million raised for facilities upgrades is beginning to take shape, as crews have been hard at work since Nov. 29 on the beginning phases of a two-year renovation of Wallace Wade Stadium.

After ripping out the track that once surrounded the football field, crews dug down eight feet, lowering the playing field to allow for additional seats to be added to bring fans

closer to the action.“We’re down on that level, we’ve started

doing the footings of the new stands, how low they go into there, and the scoreboard comes down on Monday,” Cragg said. “The rain comes next week, so thankfully we’re ahead of schedule.... Everything we expected down there was there—no surprises.”

Cragg said the next step in the renovations—demolition of the Finch-Yeager Building, which houses the press box, coordinator booths and Duke Sports

going. We couldn’t get out of it and they opened up the lead to 19 at one point. Any time you get on the road and you’re down by that much, it’s hard to come back.”

Instead of Okafor and fellow freshman Justise Winslow throwing down monstrous dunks, it was those adorned in white and red—BeeJay Anya, Abdul-Malik Abu and Desmon Lee—who cashed in wide-open looks at the rim and frequently sent the crowd into a frenzy with thunderous jams.

And it was not guards Tyus Jones, Quinn Cook or Rasheed Sulaimon who

were feeding these open looks down low and pouring in shots from the outside, but rather the N.C. State duo of Trevor Lacey and Ralston Turner who made the key plays and big shots from the outside that swung the game.

Lacey and Turner combined to put up 37 points, highlighted by shooting a staggering 9-of-14 from 3-point range. The Blue Devils gave Matt Jones his first start of the season in the hopes that he could slow down Lacey, but even the athletic combination of Jones and Sulaimon couldn’t slow down the

Wolfpack guards.“They made some tough shots, but at

the same time we gave them some easy ones early that gave them confidence,” Sulaimon said. “That’s on us. But they did a great job and they made shots.”

The Wolfpack totaled 10 blocks on the afternoon, led by four apiece from Anya and 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Kyle Washington. N.C. State’s quartet of big men rotated and hounded Okafor with constant double teams, applying enough pressure to throw him off rhythm.

Even though Okafor finished with 23 points and 12 boards, much of that success came during Duke’s fast start or desperate comeback attempt—when the game was all but decided. N.C. State outscored Duke 40-26 in the paint, gaining an edge in an area where the Blue Devil offense loves to operate.

The Wolfpack also put on an impressive display of interior passing, tallying 18 assists on the afternoon and earning several easy looks from point-blank range. The Blue Devils had no answer for the Wolfpack’s big bodies—especially Anya, who had 10 crucial points in the second half to help build the lead—leading head coach Mike Krzyzewski to make an assessment of N.C. State that one of Duke’s first 14 opponents could have said about the Blue Devils.

mentally tough and come together quicker as a team. We finally did come together, but we have to come together quicker as a team and get ourselves out of that funk when we sense it happening instead of waiting for it.”

The Wolfpack front line feasted down low Sunday, outscoring Duke 40-26 in the paint on high-percentage shot after high-percentage shot. Six of freshman Abdul-Malik Abu’s eight points came via the dunk, and Anya camped out down low on his way to 14 points, six rebounds and four swatted shots.

“When one or two guys who are your staple guys are on, it makes everybody better,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “That’s what Lacey and Turner do for their team. When they’re [making shots], everybody’s better.”

The Blue Devils led for most of the first half, but forward Kyle Washington scored on three consecutive possessions for a personal 7-0 run that put the Wolfpack ahead 34-29.

The 87 points allowed were a season-high for a Duke defense that had surrendered 70 points or more just twice entering Sunday’s game. The Wolfpack shot 55 percent from the floor, prompting junior captain Amile Jefferson to question the team’s toughness on the defensive end.

“We’ve got to play with a greater sense of urgency. We did a little bit down the stretch when we had to—we’ve just got to be a stronger team,” Jefferson said. “Forget the offensive end, we’ve got to take pride in not letting people score on us.... We started to fold, and I haven’t seen that from this team before. That’s not this team.”

For the second consecutive game, freshman Jahlil Okafor faced hounding double-teams from the Wolfpack frontcourt. N.C. State’s length bothered Duke inside all afternoon, particularly the 6-foot-9 Washington and the 7-foot-9 wingspan of Anya. The Wolfpack blocked 10 shots and prevented the freshman center from finding much room to maneuver in the lane, but Okafor still finished with a game-high 23 points and 12 rebounds.

The double-teams on Okafor forced Duke to settle for 3-pointers, and the Blue Devils could not keep pace with the Wolfpack from beyond the arc. Duke hoisted 26 shots from long-range but connected on just seven—Lacey and Turner combined for nine of N.C. State’s 10 triples.

“I thought we missed some shots,” Krzyzewski said. “I thought we handled [the double-team] well. It’s better if you knock them down.... I thought we took good shots.”

Jones started in place of Jefferson—Duke’s first lineup change of the season—as Winslow slid to the power forward slot. The small lineup didn’t pay off, as Jones missed all three

Medicine—is scheduled for Feb. 2. At the groundbreaking ceremony following the Blue Devils’ win against Wake Forest in the regular season finale, White said the building would come down during winter break.

The replacement structure will be built during the course of the next year and a half, and should be ready by the home opener of the 2016 football season.

The fate of the Wallace Wade scoreboard is one of the more intriguing aspects of the project. Rather than dismantling and discarding it, Duke will reconfigure and repurpose the scoreboard in two chunks. Two-thirds will be placed inside Koskinen Stadium as early as February, with the remaining piece to be set up at the Williams Track and Field complex.

White pointed to the repurposing of the scoreboard and the dual functionality of Kennedy Tower as the athletic department looking to generate the biggest “bang for our buck.”

“You could spend a fortune on these things, or you could spend a lot of money but not a fortune and get almost the same result,” White said. “We’re trying to be pretty careful.”

Wallace Wade Stadium’s new scoreboard will certainly be a big “bang.” At 42 feet high and 75.6 feet wide, the LED video board is twice the size of the old scoreboard and will be placed 90 feet closer to the south end zone. White said the scoreboard will be the largest in the ACC.

With Kennedy Tower and the track now open and Wallace Wade renovations well underway, attention is shifting toward the next phase of the renovation project—an addendum to Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The proposed project builds out a new lobby at the front of the 75-year-old venue at the entrance nearest Wallace Wade Stadium. The addition has already received design approval from the University Board of Trustees, with construction approval to be voted on in February. Once the project passes, Cragg said construction will begin in April at the conclusion of basketball season.

After the conclusion of the spring sports in May, construction will also begin on Scott Pavilion, a new facility to be connected to the outdated Murray Building, which currently houses many of Duke’s Olympic sport offices. The new pavilion will house new team offices, a ticket office and a new Nike team store.

The next steps in the athletics upgrades should be completed by August 2016, Cragg said, in time for the start of football season. A pedestrian-friendly plaza will also be constructed to unite the new additions to the athletic campus, spanning the area between Cameron Indoor Stadium and Wallace Wade Stadium.

Although the $130 million raised for facilities puts Duke athletics more than on track for what it has scheduled, White said the department will continue its fundraising efforts, saying there are more projects on the table.

“You’re never ahead—there is no finish line. We’re always going to be in the fundraising business and we’re always going to be pretty aggressive, assertive on that,” White said. “We have to be [aggressive] to retain our competitive position and our aspirational position. Competitive comes in lots of form, it’s not just on gameday. It’s in the classroom, it’s in every other facet of the lives of the 640 student-athletes. It takes a lot of resources to maintain that competitive posture.”

killed,” Krzyzewski said. “I mean, we got killed anyways.”With less than six minutes left to play, the Blue Devils

trailed 72-53 and it looked as if the game was getting out of hand. Then they responded with an 11-0 run to cut the lead to eight and provide a glimmer of hope.

But the Wolfpack responded and closed out the game, as Duke has done on countless occasions this year. Another uncontested slam from Anya and a tip-in from Abu iced the game and knocked the Blue Devils down from the ranks of the unbeatens.

“[We learned] what we have to do better and differently, what will work and what won’t work,” Tyus Jones said. “There’s a lot of stuff we can improve on, a lot of little things, and we have a good group and we’ll come together and get back to it.”

of his shots in the first half and the Wolfpack starting backcourt poured in 18 points. When the Blue Devils returned to the floor after intermission, Jefferson was re-inserted into the starting five.

N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried said his team looked to exploit the smaller Duke lineup, allowing Abu and Washington to post up against the smaller Winslow on the offensive end.

Duke returns to action Tuesday at 9 p.m. at Cameron Indoor Stadium against Miami. With the loss, the earliest opportunity for Krzyzewski to record his 1,000th career game is now a home game Jan. 19 against Pittsburgh.

Last Thursday, President Barack Obama announced an ambitious initiative to expand access to community college

for those students willing to work for it. Modeled off a similar measure in Tennessee, the program could fund 9 million eligible students to attend two-year community college programs, saving them around $3,800 per year, according to the ad-ministration’s estimates. In a time when student debt has spiraled out of control—the average stu-dent now graduates with approximately $29,000 in debt—making community colleges more af-fordable will increase access to higher education. Though there are concerns about the implemen-tation and underlying intent of the president’s proposed program, it is symbolically in line with people’s right to continue their education.

As it stands in its early stages, the initiative raises concerns regarding its implementation. On the one hand, the well-intentioned plan to provide free tuition to students may not, in fact, resolve the problem of financial accessibil-ity given the community college cost structure. Unlike four-year colleges, tuition is only a small fraction—21 percent—of the cost of attending a community college, according to a recent Col-

lege Board poll. Furthermore, the program—which stipulates that students must maintain a grade point average of 2.5 or higher to qualify—may exacerbate the extant problem of grade in-flation. And already-crowded classrooms may be-come even more beleaguered given the potential influx of applicants.

Despite these challenges of implementation, however, the program’s effect of providing more people the opportunity to continue their educa-tion is commendable. Yet, this broadened access raises a deeper question: What is the underlying objective of a higher education degree? Should the American public be educated to become members of the workforce with maximum eco-nomic productivity in mind? Or is the pursuit of knowledge itself an end, even if its benefits are not as immediate as a paycheck?

In recent years, a college degree has become a pre-requisite for many of the jobs in the mod-ern American economy, as it has shifted away from production and manufacturing and toward service and technology. We often justify public investment in higher education as a means of in-creasing worker productivity, thereby improving access to skilled jobs and bolstering the economy

on the whole. But balancing the demands of the job market with the ideals of higher education is a difficult task. While vocational training is often as-sociated with guaranteed careers and professional security, it does not always deliver some of the “intangibles”—studies in philosophy and ethics, for example—offered by a liberal arts education. An educated workforce has been the bedrock of American economic growth before, and there is no reason to believe that investing in education will not benefit greater society in the future.

Although a step in the right direction, Pres-ident Obama’s plan solves only a small part of public education’s larger, thornier problems. Expanding access to higher education must be partnered with revitalizing K-12 programs, which have been shown to be a more efficient investment in lowering the achievement gap. Furthermore, providing access to higher edu-cation is only beneficial to those who graduate high school and are prepared to pursue a de-gree. Nonetheless, regardless of what the pro-gram becomes, we principally support President Obama’s actions both as a tool for social mobility and as a symbolic gesture toward providing equal access to the pursuit of education.

Shock, disbelief, then sadness. When news of the Charlie Hedbo shootings hit, I called my mom immediately. She’s a French journal-

ist. She knew some of those killed and injured, in-cluding Cabu who had even drawn a picture of her once. I figured she’d have some motherly wisdom to explain away this senseless killing. But there was only stunned silence. That day, solidarity with the victims and praise of their devotion to freedom of expression dominated worldwide social media—#jesuischarlie. Then something weird happened. As my French friends and family disconnected and

went to bed, my American friends began sharing articles and posting statuses that condemned the killings, yes, but also denouncing Charlie Hebdo for Islamophobia and racism. #jenesuispascharlie.

Racist? Charlie Hebdo? The accusation is strange, considering the newspaper’s long history of being ac-tively anti-racist. Yet there it was, written on left-wing alternative media blogs and shared in little Face-book images—the claim that Charlie Hebdo was a racist, Islamophobic publication. Mind you, these same writers did express a commitment to uphold unequivocally the right to freedom of expression. Unfortunately, accusing someone or something of racism (legitimate or not) is increasingly becoming a form of censorship in its own right, hinting at a tension between protecting free speech and criticiz-ing verbal oppression. Even Duke’s Omid Safi, in an otherwise very thoughtful reflection on the events, can’t refrain from chastising the cartoonists for be-ing part of a media who’s “free speech [is] applied disproportionately against a community that is ra-cially, religiously and socioeconomically on the mar-gins of French—and many other European—soci-ety.” But Americans who accuse the French media of racism for its caricatures of Islam fail to consider an important difference between how our two cultures approach the question of faith in a political and so-cietal discourse.

In America, religious belief is often an intrinsic part of personhood. Thus, when actors participate in political discourse, their faith also plays a role, with all faiths treated equally. It’s a republican process that prizes religious diversity. But in France, a long-standing tradition of secularism forces the political sphere to disassociate the two. The French govern-ment, for example, does not ask about religious be-lief in its census. Arguably, this tradition is occasion-ally used to target and limit the personal freedoms of certain minorities, but these acts should not di-

minish the importance of minding France’s secular devotion when we talk about its society. Criticizing religious belief is not the same as criticizing person-hood. A year ago, Charlie’s editor, Charb, asked in an interview “where is the connection […] between being Arab and affiliating with Islam?” Though that’s my own, non-professional translation, his choice of words says a lot about how dialogue is framed: you are (être) Arab, you are affiliating with (appartenir) Islam.

Back in 2006 following worldwide protests against a Danish cartoonist’s caricature of Mohammed, the

law professor Ronald Dworkin wrote: “in a democ-racy no one, however powerful or impotent, can have a right not to be insulted or offended. […] Religion must observe the principles of democracy, not the other way around.” Yes, the French Muslim community is an all too often marginalized group, but that does not mean it should be exempt from the same scrutiny as other demographics when it tries to advance its religious beliefs into the political sphere. But pointing out – or in the case of Charlie Hebdo mocking – the reactionary fascist elements of this community, should not be denounced as Islam-ophobic. Doing so limits political society’s ability to respond to attacks on democratic freedoms by sham-ing it into political over-correctness.

So no, as a French publication operating in a so-ciety that prizes secular democracy and differentiates between religious belief and personhood, Charlie Hebdo was neither Islamophobic nor racist. Both re-quire an attack to the personhood of the community members. The tragedy though is that in the wake of shooting, Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons have already been used to promote Islamophobia and racism and will continue to be subverted for hateful purposes. The cry to defend the freedom of the press has been taken up by many different parties as a means to fur-ther political agendas.

The irony isn’t lost to the surviving cartoonists of the paper. Luz commented on the new symbolic stature of the newspaper: “this unanimity is useful to Holland in helping strengthen the nation. It’s use-ful to Marine Le Pen to ask to reinstate the death penalty. Symbolism in every sense can be used by ev-eryone to do whatever they like. […] It’s wonderful that people are giving us their support but it’s going against Charlie’s cartoons.”

HoëlWiesner GUEST COLUMN

JamesTian ONISM

The summer after freshmen year, I went to a summer camp in China. Our group was made of very different people, but

one girl stood out amongst the group. She was awkward, often missed the point, and wasn’t particularly friendly. Together, we started ex-cluding her from various activities, not respect-ing her in conversation, and talking behind her back. A couple people in particular were quite intentional in their bullying, while the rest of us let it happen. Eventually, she felt so left out that she stayed in her room all day, even on group outings, and didn’t talk to anyone for the rest of the trip. Many times, I felt an urge to speak up in that girl’s defense. Here was a clear case of bullying and unfair treatment, and it would have been a clear decision to stand up for her.

But for some reason, I didn’t. I stayed silent, went with the flow and minded my own busi-ness. Many of us had several chances to act, but no one ever did. This inaction became one of the things I am most ashamed of to this day.

Over the break, I read an interesting article about moral courage. It discussed how we all have a “moral imagination.” This imagination helps us picture a world where some or many in-

justices are corrected, depending on the unique set of values we personally endorse. “Moral courage” is the courage to act to make that imagined world a reality, in spite of the negative consequences that may result.

One moral imagination I share is a world with no bullying, where people accept each other without gossip, insults and ill will. When I first came to the United States at the age of five, my english was weak, and that was often exploited at school and on the bus. Many know me as an RA of three years; it is that desire for people to feel accepted that motivates me to be an RA. But that summer, did I have the moral courage to pursue this vision? I am ashamed to say that I did not.

I often wondered what motivated my inac-tion. It wasn’t ignorance or a lack of purpose; I knew what I should have done. Perhaps it was because my Chinese parents always taught me to not get involved and bring trouble on my-self. Perhaps I was afraid that the group would instead direct their bullying at me. Perhaps I didn’t want to be known as “that guy” who doesn’t go with the flow and might get associ-ated with the outsider that was bullied in the first place.

Perhaps it was fear.The more I thought about this, the more I

concluded that my inaction was caused by fear, particularly the fear of having my values openly criticized. Confronting a situation out of moral courage means that I am publicly putting forth my deeply held values and beliefs, and using them to call out someone who will most likely rebuke them.

There is less emotional vulnerability needed when getting into a physical fight. Even if physi-cal injuries result, they are usually on the sur-face level and will hurt for only as long as they physiologically should. However, confronting someone out of moral courage requires that you are being vulnerable with your values, knowing that instead of being validated, they will instead be criticized. This kind of injury can sting much more than a physical bruise.

I believe that this is the primary fear that keeps us from acting in situations requiring moral courage. Instead of acting, we rationalize our inaction through a variety of excuses. The problem, however, results when this becomes the norm. Every time we see bullying without speaking up (or any injustice without acting) we add to that culture of fear and inaction. Ac-cording to a national survey, over 3.2 million students each year are victims of bullying and 40% are aware of hazing activities (not neces-sarily on Duke’s campus). Yet 95% of those who are aware do not report them.

I don’t need to tell anyone to have moral imagination; everyone already has it. I don’t need to tell anyone to have moral courage;

everyone already desires it. Rather, I want to discuss and understand the fear that keeps us from exhibiting that moral courage, whether it is through daily activities or life-changing deci-sions. We can recognize how uncomfortable it is to be vulnerable to criticism and find the inner strength to resist it.

Fear stops us from wielding our power as part of the majority to look out for those in the mi-nority. Fear keeps us from reaching out to vic-tims and publicly including the excluded. Fear keeps us from weathering the criticism required to change the culture. But if we recognize and understand this fear, perhaps once in every few incidents, we will find the moral courage to overcome it. Then we can change a culture of inaction, not just for bullying and hazing, but for many issues like racism, sexism, socioeco-nomic fairness, and homophobia.

I’m not trying to make excuses to justify my spineless inaction. I also know that it’s out of place for me to encourage others to show moral courage when I lack it myself. After all, there are leaders, Noble Peace Prize winners, and fel-low peers who can teach so much more about moral courage than I can. However it is precise-ly me, someone guilty of inaction, who needs to confront my fears instead of leaving it for the experts. I became deeply troubled when I faced this barrier to acting on one of my values. But now, I can resolve to start confronting my fears so I do not hold myself back from making my moral imagination a reality.

Moral courage

We are lost, confused, strong-willed know it alls. We avoid our parents’ advice (most of the time) because we believe wholeheartedly in our ability to make big decisions. We

are big, bad twenty-somethings; young adults who, in reality, know not as much as we like to think. They call us grown-ups, when really we’re growing-ups—flawed, muddled, and rough around the edges. We make things up as we go along, because who actually knows what they want to do for the rest of their life at such a young age? They warn us, “Make smart decisions. This is the beginning of the rest of your life.” And we try. We genuinely try. But, it’s hard; because the overwhelming pressure to make others proud can often lead us astray from our own fulfillment.

For most of my freshman year, I felt like an awkward piece in a puzzle I had no business being a part of. Once the pep rally and club rush commotion settled down, I was left with a silence that I wasn’t quite sure how to handle. Even now, one year wiser—if you can call it that—I still have my days. That’s the thing about college. It forces you to be alone; to lean on yourself for support when you can barely keep it together. Ironically enough, you’re surrounded by a sea of people. And that’s the hardest part—the solitude; the transition; the adaptation. It’s the self-journey to a destination you have no idea how to reach. It’s what they don’t tell you.

I remember laying in bed at night, wondering why on earth my mom had so vehemently encouraged my pursuit of an out of state education. I questioned, every single day, why she’d planted a “spread your wings baby bird” seed in my head since middle school. It wasn’t until recently that I found, accepted, and came to peace with the answer. Our parents see an

incomparable potential in us. With this vision, comes a goal: to support and foster our American dream. They encourage our departure not because they don’t want us, but because they don’t want us to settle. They have more dreams for us than they do themselves, and it’s a beautiful sentiment that can often feel like the weight of the world on shoulders already burdened by heavy bookbags.

This weight can be overwhelming. I understand. I feel it too. We all do. It’s normal to feel momentarily irrelevant among classmates that seem to run from one productive meeting to the next. Though these are only words—letters strung together that live solely on this page—let them resonate with you. Let them in, because there must first be internal changes before your external world can shift. If the reality of “right” or “wrong” choices becomes overbearing, remember that we all come into college as rough drafts. We all suffer countless red pens; torn down and stripped of our confidence time and time again. We are scrutinized and challenged, but also re-written. Remember that our mistakes and lessons learned will ultimately lead to a final draft. And this final draft will be unrecognizable. You will be unrecognizable.

Know that there are no rules to know nor are there formulas to follow when making your way down this bumpy road. Some days will be incredibly hard, but remember that a good one will always follow. Accept that the straight-forward path you—and probably your parents—envisioned will take more twists and turns than not. Were you pre-med when you enrolled? What are you now? Are you happy with it? If the answer is no, it’s okay. Change your path. You have a purpose even if it takes you a little longer to figure it out. Learn as much about yourself as you do Marx, Newton, and Darwin. Evolve. Get lost. And don’t be afraid, because we are all just as confused. Some of us are just better at hiding it.

One day, we might remember our undergraduate experience with nostalgia as we tell our own kids about “the best four years” of our lives. We might look back on this chaos and finally make sense of it. But right now, in this very moment, if a family member, friend, or stranger asks you about college, don’t feel bad if it takes a minute or two to start with something positive. And never feel alone.

Last Thursday, President Barack Obama announced an ambitious initiative to expand access to community college

for those students willing to work for it. Modeled off a similar measure in Tennessee, the program could fund 9 million eligible students to attend two-year community college programs, saving them around $3,800 per year, according to the ad-ministration’s estimates. In a time when student debt has spiraled out of control—the average stu-dent now graduates with approximately $29,000 in debt—making community colleges more af-fordable will increase access to higher education. Though there are concerns about the implemen-tation and underlying intent of the president’s proposed program, it is symbolically in line with people’s right to continue their education.

As it stands in its early stages, the initiative raises concerns regarding its implementation. On the one hand, the well-intentioned plan to provide free tuition to students may not, in fact, resolve the problem of financial accessibil-ity given the community college cost structure. Unlike four-year colleges, tuition is only a small fraction—21 percent—of the cost of attending a community college, according to a recent Col-

lege Board poll. Furthermore, the program—which stipulates that students must maintain a grade point average of 2.5 or higher to qualify—may exacerbate the extant problem of grade in-flation. And already-crowded classrooms may be-come even more beleaguered given the potential influx of applicants.

Despite these challenges of implementation, however, the program’s effect of providing more people the opportunity to continue their educa-tion is commendable. Yet, this broadened access raises a deeper question: What is the underlying objective of a higher education degree? Should the American public be educated to become members of the workforce with maximum eco-nomic productivity in mind? Or is the pursuit of knowledge itself an end, even if its benefits are not as immediate as a paycheck?

In recent years, a college degree has become a pre-requisite for many of the jobs in the mod-ern American economy, as it has shifted away from production and manufacturing and toward service and technology. We often justify public investment in higher education as a means of in-creasing worker productivity, thereby improving access to skilled jobs and bolstering the economy

on the whole. But balancing the demands of the job market with the ideals of higher education is a difficult task. While vocational training is often as-sociated with guaranteed careers and professional security, it does not always deliver some of the “intangibles”—studies in philosophy and ethics, for example—offered by a liberal arts education. An educated workforce has been the bedrock of American economic growth before, and there is no reason to believe that investing in education will not benefit greater society in the future.

Although a step in the right direction, Pres-ident Obama’s plan solves only a small part of public education’s larger, thornier problems. Expanding access to higher education must be partnered with revitalizing K-12 programs, which have been shown to be a more efficient investment in lowering the achievement gap. Furthermore, providing access to higher edu-cation is only beneficial to those who graduate high school and are prepared to pursue a de-gree. Nonetheless, regardless of what the pro-gram becomes, we principally support President Obama’s actions both as a tool for social mobility and as a symbolic gesture toward providing equal access to the pursuit of education.

Shock, disbelief, then sadness. When news of the Charlie Hedbo shootings hit, I called my mom immediately. She’s a French journal-

ist. She knew some of those killed and injured, in-cluding Cabu who had even drawn a picture of her once. I figured she’d have some motherly wisdom to explain away this senseless killing. But there was only stunned silence. That day, solidarity with the victims and praise of their devotion to freedom of expression dominated worldwide social media—#jesuischarlie. Then something weird happened. As my French friends and family disconnected and

went to bed, my American friends began sharing articles and posting statuses that condemned the killings, yes, but also denouncing Charlie Hebdo for Islamophobia and racism. #jenesuispascharlie.

Racist? Charlie Hebdo? The accusation is strange, considering the newspaper’s long history of being ac-tively anti-racist. Yet there it was, written on left-wing alternative media blogs and shared in little Face-book images—the claim that Charlie Hebdo was a racist, Islamophobic publication. Mind you, these same writers did express a commitment to uphold unequivocally the right to freedom of expression. Unfortunately, accusing someone or something of racism (legitimate or not) is increasingly becoming a form of censorship in its own right, hinting at a tension between protecting free speech and criticiz-ing verbal oppression. Even Duke’s Omid Safi, in an otherwise very thoughtful reflection on the events, can’t refrain from chastising the cartoonists for be-ing part of a media who’s “free speech [is] applied disproportionately against a community that is ra-cially, religiously and socioeconomically on the mar-gins of French—and many other European—soci-ety.” But Americans who accuse the French media of racism for its caricatures of Islam fail to consider an important difference between how our two cultures approach the question of faith in a political and so-cietal discourse.

In America, religious belief is often an intrinsic part of personhood. Thus, when actors participate in political discourse, their faith also plays a role, with all faiths treated equally. It’s a republican process that prizes religious diversity. But in France, a long-standing tradition of secularism forces the political sphere to disassociate the two. The French govern-ment, for example, does not ask about religious be-lief in its census. Arguably, this tradition is occasion-ally used to target and limit the personal freedoms of certain minorities, but these acts should not di-

minish the importance of minding France’s secular devotion when we talk about its society. Criticizing religious belief is not the same as criticizing person-hood. A year ago, Charlie’s editor, Charb, asked in an interview “where is the connection […] between being Arab and affiliating with Islam?” Though that’s my own, non-professional translation, his choice of words says a lot about how dialogue is framed: you are (être) Arab, you are affiliating with (appartenir) Islam.

Back in 2006 following worldwide protests against a Danish cartoonist’s caricature of Mohammed, the

law professor Ronald Dworkin wrote: “in a democ-racy no one, however powerful or impotent, can have a right not to be insulted or offended. […] Religion must observe the principles of democracy, not the other way around.” Yes, the French Muslim community is an all too often marginalized group, but that does not mean it should be exempt from the same scrutiny as other demographics when it tries to advance its religious beliefs into the political sphere. But pointing out – or in the case of Charlie Hebdo mocking – the reactionary fascist elements of this community, should not be denounced as Islam-ophobic. Doing so limits political society’s ability to respond to attacks on democratic freedoms by sham-ing it into political over-correctness.

So no, as a French publication operating in a so-ciety that prizes secular democracy and differentiates between religious belief and personhood, Charlie Hebdo was neither Islamophobic nor racist. Both re-quire an attack to the personhood of the community members. The tragedy though is that in the wake of shooting, Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons have already been used to promote Islamophobia and racism and will continue to be subverted for hateful purposes.
