aycock renamed following student leaders’ call for action

by Emma BaccellieriThe ChroniCle

Freshman dormitory Aycock will be renamed east residence hall, following years of protest over the building’s namesake—former north Carolina governor Charles Aycock, a prominent figure in the white su-premacy movement in the early 1900s.

President richard Brodhead announced the decision in a letter to student leaders Tuesday. The change was agreed on by the Board of Trustees’ executive committee at a meeting last Friday and comes six months after Duke Student Government passed a resolution support-ing the renaming of the dormitory. representatives from DSG and the Black Student Alliance met with members of the administration to pres-ent a formal proposal for the name change.

“The building was named early in the twentieth century on one view of history, and that view of history no longer prevails,” Brodhead said. “Given the circumstances, it seems a good time to change the name.”

east residence hall was the original name of the dormitory, which opened in 1911 when Duke University was still Trinity College. one year later, however, the Board of Trustees decided to change the name to Aycock to honor the former governor, who was in office from 1901-1905.

Aycock had no clear ties to Trinity College, Brodhead noted—he was never a student or employee, and he did not ever donate to the institution.

The decision to name the building after Aycock is touched upon only briefly in the minutes of the Board of Trustees’ September 1912 meeting, and no explanation is given for the choice.

“The committee appointed for renaming the new buildings report-ed as follows: that the east Dormitory be named ‘Aycock hall,’ in honor of ex-governor Charles Brantley Aycock,” the minutes read, as found in the University Archive.

Café de Novo to replace Law Refectory Caféby Emma Baccellieri

The ChroniCle

Café de novo has been announced as the replacement vendor for the space that will be left vacant by the soon-to-depart law refec-tory Café.

The new café will be operated by Sam Clowney and Chris holloway, the partner-ship behind McClendon Tower’s Pitchfork Provisions and Bella Union as well as French Family Science Center’s la Dolce Vita. hollo-way also ran the kitchen of Faculty Commons until it closed as part of the West Union reno-vations. The change in vendors comes after the University declined to renew the refec-tory Café’s contract—a move met with some outcry from the community.

A five-person committee from the School of law led the search for a new vendor. Three finalists were invited to campus to present their program and menu samples, Director of Dining Services robert Coffey said.

“The selection committee from the law School was impressed with their diverse back-ground, menu creativity and quality, coffee program and willingness to be very flexible to develop a customized program to meet their community expectations,” Coffey wrote about Clowney and holloway in an email Wednesday.

A need for healthy food—particularly vegan and vegetarian options—and sustain-able practices were among the criteria con-sidered by the committee, a release from the law school noted.

The June 22 departure of the refectory Café will come two years after the closure of its sister restaurant, the refectory Café in the Divinity School. owner laura hall left the Divinity School location after refusing to in-crease the commission paid to Duke Dining. She is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with the University regarding trademark infringe-ment by the replacement vendor, the Divin-

ity refectory—now known as Divinity Café.The refectory Cafés were popular op-

tions on campus, named “Best of Duke” in seven of the past eight years, and also were noted for their sustainable practices.

Café de novo will open July 9. in addi-tion to Clowney and holloway’s experience at Duke, the pair have made an impact in the local dining community as well—hollo-way has served as executive chef at gourmet market and speciality foods store A Southern Season and also worked to open the kitchen at Motorco, a bar and music hall.

“The new vendor has listened to the feed-back from the law School selection commit-tee and is very excited and honored to be able to serve the Duke community in this lo-cation,” Coffey wrote. “Chef Chris holloway has a great menu planned with some new ex-citing items and is looking forward to getting to meet all the customers and listen to any suggestions or ideas for the café.”

Durham showcased its growing mobile food culture—and lived up to its name as the Foodiest Small Town in America—during its Father’s Day Food Truck rodeo Sunday afternoon.

More than 60 food trucks, many with creative names such as Sympathy for the Deli and Mac-Ur-roni, convened at Dur-ham Central Park for the event. The larg-est rodeo held since the event began four years ago, the afternoon showed the grow-ing presence of Durham’s food trucks, which have made themselves increasingly known on Duke’s campus as well as across the Triangle. The event happens multiple times a year on major holidays and boosts food truck sales considerably, according to John Greene, a worker at The humble Pig.

“it’s a great way for us to meet Durham-ites and gain publicity,” said Greene. “You know it’s an honor when, out of all 60 or so food trucks, a customer chooses yours.”

Participants included only Burger, one of the Triangle’s first food trucks, and mainstays from Duke’s campus, such as Baguettaboutit and Chirba Chirba Dump-ling. The rodeo attracts audiences not only from Durham, but across the Triangle and beyond. Betty Craisem, a resident of Wake Forest who has attended every Food Truck rodeo since 2009, said it’s an event she greatly enjoys.

“There’s food, beer and music,” Craisem said. “What’s not to love?”

Craisem also noted that the Food Truck rodeo speaks to the entrepreneurial and “foodie” spirit of Durham.

“You’ll never see events like this in oth-er cities,” she said. “Durham has the per-fect vibe and motivation for such a large-scale event centered around food.”

Food trucks have played an increas-ingly large role in Durham’s culinary

culture and on Duke’s campus over the last few years. Since the first rodeo was held in 2010, the number of participat-ing trucks has jumped from the single digits to more than 60—and as Durham’s trucks have grown in number, they have also grown in prominence. The food truck scene has received mention in the new York Times, Southern living and national food blog Serious eats, among other publications.

on campus, food trucks were the sub-ject of significant discussion last year. With West Union closed for renovations and din-ing options limited as a result, the trucks were highlighted as a source of increased food choices. lunchtime food trucks were offered for the first time in 2013—though the program was ultimately put on hold after low turnout—and 14 food trucks ap-plied to be among the seven chosen for the 2014-2015 school year.

in addition to food, the rodeo features other merchants, such as craft vendors and beer vendors. nonprofit organiza-tions also take part in the rodeo, spread-ing awareness of their organizations. Cyn-thia Satterfield, a volunteer at the eno river Association, said that an event like this is the perfect opportunity to reach out to the surrounding communities.

“[The Food Truck rodeo] is a great way to meet open-minded, young Durham resi-dents, and introduce them to our associa-tion and cause,” she said. “it’s also a good way of sharing information about events being held in the eno river, such as Festi-val for the eno.”

Daniel Smith, a middle-schooler from Durham, was attending the rodeo for the first time. he said that he’s never seen so many food trucks in one place.

“This has to be a world record or some-thing,” he said. “i’m never missing another Food Truck rodeo for the rest of my life.”

Senior Taylor Trimble will join 2011 graduate Sarah Bullard as the two players that will represent Duke on the United States national team, with the pair making the initial cut this past weekend in Washington, D.C.

Trimble, Bullard to represent Duke on U.S. national teamWOmEN’S LAcROSSE

by Nick MartinThe ChroniCle

With the World Cup underway and nationalism at its peak, it seems as though everyone wants to represent and root for their country. For a pair of Duke players, this will be a very real possibility.

Six current and former Blue Devils took part in the tryouts for the 2014-15 U.S. women’s national team this past weekend in Washington, D.C. rising se-nior Taylor Trimble and former Duke player Sarah Bullard were the two Blue Devils to hear their names called Sunday and will represent Duke on the 2014-15 squad—currently made up of 38 play-ers—with hopes of being selected for the final roster of 18 players to partici-pate in the 2017 Federation of interna-tional lacrosse Women’s World Cup in Surrey, england.

Making the first cut was no easy task. eighty-one players participated in a week-end’s worth of grueling tryouts before the initial cuts were made. Trimble—who previously played for the United States’ U19 team—described the tryouts as be-ing the most rigorous she has ever been put through. But when her number was called at the selection ceremony, it made the process all the more special.

“The tryout was very intense and com-petitive. And the way they announced it was actually different from when i was on the U19 national team,” Trimble said. “After that tryout, they just posted a list in the lobby of the hotel we were staying at and if your number was on

Duke junior Celine Boutier will rep-resent Duke as an amateur competitor at the U.S. Women’s open Thursday.

This year’s open will be played at Pine-hurst no. 2 in Pinehurst, n.C., roughly an hour and a half from Durham. The course—known for its dry fairways and fast greens—will feature a par 70 track.

Boutier will tee of Thursday at 12:41 p.m. and will play in a group along with Jordan Ferreira and Brooke Pancake.

She will be one of 28 amatuers taking part in the tournament, with 11-year old lucy li being the most notable partici-pant, as the sixth grader is the youngest player in the history of the tournament to qualify.

Boutier will join li among the fresh faces trying to make a splash at Pine-


Trimble will look to follow in the footsteps of Bullard, who has scored 16 goals in the past two World Cups.


Junior Celine Boutier will participate in her first career U.S. Women’s Open when she tees off Thursday at 12:41 p.m.

it, you made the team. if it wasn’t, you hadn’t. This time they had us all in a room together and they actually had the U.S. lacrosse representative who oversaw the tryout read off the numbers. i was sitting there, my heart pounding, just waiting for the number 48 to be read. When it was, i was just so relieved, happy and excited and honored to be able to represent the U.S. again.”

With a chance to participate in her

first career Fil World Cup, Trimble ref-erenced the ongoing FiFA World Cup as a key contributor to her excitement of representing the United States on an in-ternational level.

“it’s just the craziest feeling, especially with the World Cup going on right now. it’s been really fun to go through the trial pro-cess at this time,” she said. “obviously, it’s a different level, but at the same time, you’re still representing the U.S. and it’s an incred-

ible feeling.”But Trimble will not be overwhelmed by

the moment, as she has plenty of successful experience on her side from her time with the U19 national team at the 2011 World Championships. During her stretch with the squad, the rosemont, Pa., native was named a team captain, won a gold medal and was named to the All World Team following her

exceptional play.The senior will not be alone in her

quest to represent both Duke and the United States come 2017. Bullard, who graduated in 2011, will be making her third appearance on the national squad after winning gold with the U.S. at the 2009 and 2013 World Cups. She scored 16 goals in the two previous tournaments and will be one of the team’s veteran leaders.

Although their careers did not over-lap in Durham, Bullard and Trimble have been in contact thanks to what the Trimble called “the Duke family.” now the duo will be lining up together as teammates, something both players are looking forward to finally being able to do after missing the opportunity by one year in college.

“i was test-playing with the national team and really got to play with her then and now i’m truly teammates with her, so it’s been really fun to ride this journey and have her be here too,” Trimble said. “it’s obviously special when someone’s gone to Duke and she knows exactly what i’m going through right now. it’s defi-nitely a fun connection on the field, even though we didn’t play together at Duke.”

With their cumulative wealth of prior ex-perience playing on a national team, neither Trimble nor Bullard will be new to the grow-ing pains that come with bringing a new group of players together. Unlike the college setting where players grow for four years with those around them, the pair will have to become accustomed to the different playing styles of their new teammates. But Trimble was quick to point out that the U.S. staff does an excel-

W. LACROSSE from page 4 lent job of selecting the best team instead of the best players.

“You would think that like with an all-star team this is going to backfire be-cause you have all these talented players and they don’t necessarily know how to mesh,” Trimble said. “But i’ve found that playing for the U.S. is how i imagine perfect lacrosse to be played. it’s when i feel i play my best.”

The squad will get a lengthy break following the trials and will come back together for a training weekend Aug. 1 at Georgetown.

See W. LACROSSE, page 5

her participation in one of the nation’s most reverred tournaments comes on the heels of a spectactular season at Duke.

Boutier led the Blue Devils during their run to the nCAA title, Duke’s sixth overall, by placing second in the individ-ual field to Southern California’s Doris Chen. even though she could not claim the individual title, Boutier and the Blue Devils would have the last laugh, as Duke stormed back on the back-nine to claim the championship from the Trojans. her strong play—she posted three wins and seven top 10 finishes on

the year—earned her the honda Award and WGCA national Player of the Year honors. She was also crowned the ACC individual Champion.

But Boutier will not be the only par-ticipant representing Duke come Thurs-day afternoon. Former Blue Devil Britta-ny lang —she turned pro in 2005—will also take part in the tournament. lang will be making her 10th appearance at the U.S. open, a tournament she has had success at in the past. She finished second in 2005, fifth in 2010 and tied for seventh in 2013.

Boutier will try to follow in her fel-low Duke product’s footsteps as she competes in her first career U.S. open. She will participate in the two opening rounds Thursday and Friday in hopes of making the cut to play during the week-end’s final rounds.

Senior Taylor Trimble will join 2011 graduate Sarah Bullard as the two players that will represent Duke on the United States national team, with the pair making the initial cut this past weekend in Washington, D.C.

Trimble, Bullard to represent Duke on U.S. national teamWOmEN’S LAcROSSE

by Nick MartinThe ChroniCle

With the World Cup underway and nationalism at its peak, it seems as though everyone wants to represent and root for their country. For a pair of Duke players, this will be a very real possibility.

Six current and former Blue Devils took part in the tryouts for the 2014-15 U.S. women’s national team this past weekend in Washington, D.C. rising se-nior Taylor Trimble and former Duke player Sarah Bullard were the two Blue Devils to hear their names called Sunday and will represent Duke on the 2014-15 squad—currently made up of 38 play-ers—with hopes of being selected for the final roster of 18 players to partici-pate in the 2017 Federation of interna-tional lacrosse Women’s World Cup in Surrey, england.

Making the first cut was no easy task. eighty-one players participated in a week-end’s worth of grueling tryouts before the initial cuts were made. Trimble—who previously played for the United States’ U19 team—described the tryouts as be-ing the most rigorous she has ever been put through. But when her number was called at the selection ceremony, it made the process all the more special.

“The tryout was very intense and com-petitive. And the way they announced it was actually different from when i was on the U19 national team,” Trimble said. “After that tryout, they just posted a list in the lobby of the hotel we were staying at and if your number was on

Boutier to begin U.S. Women’s Open play ThursdayWOmEN’S gOLf


Duke junior Celine Boutier will rep-resent Duke as an amateur competitor at the U.S. Women’s open Thursday.

This year’s open will be played at Pine-hurst no. 2 in Pinehurst, n.C., roughly an hour and a half from Durham. The course—known for its dry fairways and fast greens—will feature a par 70 track.

Boutier will tee of Thursday at 12:41 p.m. and will play in a group along with Jordan Ferreira and Brooke Pancake.

She will be one of 28 amatuers taking part in the tournament, with 11-year old lucy li being the most notable partici-pant, as the sixth grader is the youngest player in the history of the tournament to qualify.

Boutier will join li among the fresh faces trying to make a splash at Pine-


Trimble will look to follow in the footsteps of Bullard, who has scored 16 goals in the past two World Cups.


Junior Celine Boutier will participate in her first career U.S. Women’s Open when she tees off Thursday at 12:41 p.m.

it, you made the team. if it wasn’t, you hadn’t. This time they had us all in a room together and they actually had the U.S. lacrosse representative who oversaw the tryout read off the numbers. i was sitting there, my heart pounding, just waiting for the number 48 to be read. When it was, i was just so relieved, happy and excited and honored to be able to represent the U.S. again.”

With a chance to participate in her

first career Fil World Cup, Trimble ref-erenced the ongoing FiFA World Cup as a key contributor to her excitement of representing the United States on an in-ternational level.

“it’s just the craziest feeling, especially with the World Cup going on right now. it’s been really fun to go through the trial pro-cess at this time,” she said. “obviously, it’s a different level, but at the same time, you’re still representing the U.S. and it’s an incred-

ible feeling.”But Trimble will not be overwhelmed by

the moment, as she has plenty of successful experience on her side from her time with the U19 national team at the 2011 World Championships. During her stretch with the squad, the rosemont, Pa., native was named a team captain, won a gold medal and was named to the All World Team following her

exceptional play.The senior will not be alone in her

quest to represent both Duke and the United States come 2017. Bullard, who graduated in 2011, will be making her third appearance on the national squad after winning gold with the U.S. at the 2009 and 2013 World Cups. She scored 16 goals in the two previous tournaments and will be one of the team’s veteran leaders.

Although their careers did not over-lap in Durham, Bullard and Trimble have been in contact thanks to what the Trimble called “the Duke family.” now the duo will be lining up together as teammates, something both players are looking forward to finally being able to do after missing the opportunity by one year in college.

“i was test-playing with the national team and really got to play with her then and now i’m truly teammates with her, so it’s been really fun to ride this journey and have her be here too,” Trimble said. “it’s obviously special when someone’s gone to Duke and she knows exactly what i’m going through right now. it’s defi-nitely a fun connection on the field, even though we didn’t play together at Duke.”

With their cumulative wealth of prior ex-perience playing on a national team, neither Trimble nor Bullard will be new to the grow-ing pains that come with bringing a new group of players together. Unlike the college setting where players grow for four years with those around them, the pair will have to become accustomed to the different playing styles of their new teammates. But Trimble was quick to point out that the U.S. staff does an excel-

W. LACROSSE from page 4 lent job of selecting the best team instead of the best players.

“You would think that like with an all-star team this is going to backfire be-cause you have all these talented players and they don’t necessarily know how to mesh,” Trimble said. “But i’ve found that playing for the U.S. is how i imagine perfect lacrosse to be played. it’s when i feel i play my best.”

The squad will get a lengthy break following the trials and will come back together for a training weekend Aug. 1 at Georgetown.

See W. LACROSSE, page 5

hurst. The Montrouge, France native qualified for the tournament by earning medalist honors at The heritage Golf Course in Westminister, Colo., during the sectional qualifier by shooting rounds of 70 and 72.

her participation in one of the nation’s most reverred tournaments comes on the heels of a spectactular season at Duke.

Boutier led the Blue Devils during their run to the nCAA title, Duke’s sixth overall, by placing second in the individ-ual field to Southern California’s Doris Chen. even though she could not claim the individual title, Boutier and the Blue Devils would have the last laugh, as Duke stormed back on the back-nine to claim the championship from the Trojans. her strong play—she posted three wins and seven top 10 finishes on

the year—earned her the honda Award and WGCA national Player of the Year honors. She was also crowned the ACC individual Champion.

But Boutier will not be the only par-ticipant representing Duke come Thurs-day afternoon. Former Blue Devil Britta-ny lang —she turned pro in 2005—will also take part in the tournament. lang will be making her 10th appearance at the U.S. open, a tournament she has had success at in the past. She finished second in 2005, fifth in 2010 and tied for seventh in 2013.

Boutier will try to follow in her fel-low Duke product’s footsteps as she competes in her first career U.S. open. She will participate in the two opening rounds Thursday and Friday in hopes of making the cut to play during the week-end’s final rounds.

It occurred to me today that my half-a-summer abroad experience is coming to a close. Eleven days. That’s all I have left here. In a mere week

and a half, I’’ll be heading back to California to live out a quasi-normal lifestyle until school starts back up again. And, with the onslaught of final exams amongst other activities, I am sure these next eleven days will fly by just as the past five weeks have. As with any significant long-term endeavor, it’s always interesting to reflect on what the experience has meant to me. And, so, I look back fondly on the group of 23 strangers who somehow managed to tolerate, and even appreciate, each other’s company, on the

historical sites that moved me and educated me and on the language that has served as a constant source of frustration but also victory.

The sentiments are always the same: reflection, appreciation, gratitude, perspective, insight. I always return from these sorts of endeavors with the belief that the experience has changed me, inspired me, made me a better person, etc. When I hear from my friends who have traveled abroad, participated in Duke Engage or done something similar with their time, their stories follow a similar narrative. But, this time around, I’ve also been thinking about something else: how long does this “change” actually last? And, if it doesn’t last, does that mean it ever truly existed, or is it simply a concept we fabricate for ourselves to elevate the importance of our experiences?

I contemplate how long I have until the friendships I’ve formed dissipate, until the people I’ve wandered the streets of Spain with, or stayed up until 4 a.m. talking to, become mere acquaintances I greet on my way to class or smile at while sitting on the plaza. I am concerned that the conversations that have inspired me, or that have made me question deeply held convictions, will soon lose their significance and become lost in the depths of my mind and concealed by newer revelations and more recent encounters. I worry that my recollection of historic sites and monuments will be reduced to tagged photos on Facebook that neither capture their true beauty nor accurately reflect my appreciation.

Mostly, I wonder how long it will take for the memories to fade to the point that they will hardly impact me at all. Because, as time goes on, they will fade and they will lose significance. That is unavoidable.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m not trying to devalue the abroad experience or suggest that it isn’t worthwhile. Believe me, I wouldn’t trade these past five weeks for anything, and I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to study in Spain in the first place.

But, it is something I find myself thinking about more and more. This past weekend, my group visited the city of Granada, one of Spain’s most historic locations. On our last day, we trekked through the Alhambra, a complex and massive castle, parts of which were first built in the ninth century. According to our tour guide, the Alhambra is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the

World. I just Googled it, and that’s most definitely not true, but, still, it’s an incredible place and I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Spain. Exploring each room and passageway, relishing in the highly intricate architecture, roaming through the gardens—it’s one of those places you can get lost in for hours and never become bored. And, when you reach the top of the Alhambra, you get to experience what is certainly the best view of Granada the city has to offer. I definitely took upwards of 20 photos, all of which were essentially the same photo but from a slightly different vantage point. And, unsurprisingly, no matter how many photos I took or from what angle, each time I went back to review them, I was met with an unsettling sense of disappointment. None of them depicted the Alhambra exactly as it was. None of them fully captured the beauty of the scene before me. None of them were quite right. And, so, I was left trying to capture the moment from memory and to sustain it in my mind, if not in a photo, which of course didn’t work either.

And, I realize that’s what a lot of my abroad experience has consisted of—this desperate attempt to capture the moment, the beauty, the experience in its entirety. It is kind of sad that the memories that hold such importance now will invariably diminish in significance. Nonetheless, this has made me more appreciative of my experiences as I’m living them.

Because, while they will not last for forever, they mean something now, and now is really all that matters.

Unpacking the abroad experience

Michelle Menchacaa work in progress

I always tell my dad he should write a book. You know those people who take mundane tasks, like grocery shopping, and turn them into opportunities for preaching life

lessons? That’s my dad. He’s full of advice and—lucky me—I’m usually the recipient.

When I was a little girl, I thought my dad knew everything. He was the smartest person I had ever met. I mean, he saved people’s lives—who was I to question his authority? But, as I grew up, I realized that my dad was far from perfect.

He once put salt, instead of sugar, in my hot chocolate. He stressed the importance of being an alert driver while backing into a lamp post. Sometimes, when he gets mad, he is rude to people—and things—that don’t deserve it. The GPS is just

trying to help, dad.It must have been a weird transition for him, too. I used to

be a tiny blob that couldn’t even feed itself. Not too long ago, my daily hair routine consisted of my dad tying my hair into a poof on top of my head. Now, he has probably lost count of all the hair tools littering my bathroom counter. I think the scariest part for him is that he taught me everything he knew—he molded me into a functional person—and, now, all of a sudden, I have my own ideas about how to do things. So, dad, the next time you find yourself shaking your head at some poor decision I’ve made, lamenting that you’ve failed as a parent, I hope you remember all the lessons that you have taught me.

On apologies:“‘Sorry’? Don’t make mistakes, and you won’t have to say ‘sorry.’”My dad has always been under the impression that “sorry”

is a meaningless word. Whenever I made little-kid blunders, like dropping fragile items or losing my allowance, I would profusely apologize for them. That should make everything better, right? I felt bad about what I did, so I should be let off the hook or, at least, get a softer punishment. Well, not according to my dad. An apology, he says, doesn’t fix what’s broken. An apology isn’t a Get Out of Jail Free card, and it doesn’t entitle you to forgiveness. Sometimes accidents happen. Take responsibility. Mend mistakes with actions, not words.

On complaining:“There’s no use in complaining about things you can’t change.”I used to whine all winter about the cold, much to my dad’s

chagrin. Eventually, I stopped, for the most part, because I would hear this exact response every time I opened my mouth. Although I took it for granted then, I now realize that I’ve inconvenienced my dad countless times, and I was far more annoying than a little wind chill. I cannot begin to imagine how hard it was to move to a foreign country and raise a child. My dad taught me how the world worked while he was still figuring it out himself. He paid for piano lessons and singing lessons that he realistically couldn’t afford, and that was only the beginning. I needed tennis racquets and clothes. I needed theme park tickets, then makeup and, then, the car. Now, I’m taking a couple hundred grand just to go to college. My dad’s ability to sacrifice without a single complaint amazes me. It’s a quality I hope to one day emulate as effortlessly as he does.

On simplicity:I asked my dad what he wanted for Father’s Day, and he

said, “three LED flashlights.”He is not a sentimental person. While “World’s Best Father”

mugs and finger-painted cards might have been adorable when I was six, today, they would elicit nothing more than a scoff. Cute, but unnecessary. He has no desire for crystal-encrusted watches or elaborate razors boasting the latest advances in shaving technology. He wants what he needs and nothing more—another attitude I have yet to master, judging by how often I run out of food points.

On tolerance:“Different strokes for different folks.”This is my dad’s absolute favorite phrase. It’s also the one

that I feel best sums up our relationship. The generational and cultural gaps between us sometimes make it difficult to see eye-to-eye, and this is further exacerbated by our stubbornness. We may disagree about little things, like clothes and curfews, but, at the end of the day, we’re still family.

So thank you, dad. I’m truly lucky to have a loving father who has always kept my best interests at heart. Thank you for all the wisdom you have already bestowed upon me, and thank you, in advance, for any future advice that I may or may not follow. Hey, “different strokes for different folks,” right?

“A white man is superior to a negro.”What would you do if these words were

etched in marble over the entrance to your freshman dorm? How would you feel about Duke? Would you stand for it because it had always been there? Would you insist the etching remain because of its historical value? Would you lazily allow it to remain because it’s not that bad? Or, if given the chance, would you replace these words with some-thing else, something that is truly representative of the values and diversity of our school?

That quote is one of many from former North Carolina Gov. Charles Brantley Aycock, the same Aycock whose name adorns the dormitory on East Campus. The name Aycock was chosen for the dorm when it was constructed in 1914 because at the time, Aycock was seen as the “Education Governor,” cred-ited with pioneering public education in the state of North Carolina and giving children access to public schools. Because of this legacy, Aycock’s name also adorns buildings at UNC-Chapel Hill and East Car-olina University, in addition to a Charles B. Aycock High School in Wayne County, N.C.

But underneath the narrative of a progressive, ed-ucation-minded governor lies an insidious history of white supremacy and racial subordination. During the Reconstruction Era when the South was decimated by the impacts of the Civil War, the federal government kept troops in southern states in order to ensure that racial harmony was maintained. But when President Rutherford B. Hayes pulled those troops out in 1877, most southern states quickly spiraled back into rigid systems of racial subordination and segregation.

But North Carolina was different. While the state certainly had a lasting legacy of racism, an overtly racist government did not reclaim the state immedi-ately after Reconstruction. Instead, a Fusionist gov-ernment, made by a coalition between poor white farmers and poor black farmers, took control of the state. Accordingly, by the late 1800s, North Carolina continued to have blacks who were elected to public office in select areas across the state.

Nowhere was this more visible than in Wilming-ton, which was at that time the largest city in the state due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. In Wilmington, a robust black community was thriv-ing, with black-owned businesses featured on Main Street and a black newspaper—the Daily Record—published regularly. Additionally, black citizens held one-third of the elected positions on the city’s Board of Aldermen, and the municipal govern-ment heard the voices of the black community.

This coalition worked well for North Carolina’s working poor at the time, and the state was able to enact numerous progressive policies for the time—namely enfranchising poorer North Carolinians by lowering the property requirement that was neces-

sary to vote. While these policies were beneficial to small farmers and textile mill workers, they were widely loathed by Aycock and the rest of North Carolina’s white gentry, who saw the policies as an attack on their economic control.

Accordingly, Aycock, along with the editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, Josephus Daniels and many other leaders across the state, decided to break up the Fusion movement by spearheading a white supremacist movement like North Carolina had never before seen. They believed that if they could drive a wedge between working-class white and black citizens through fanning the fires of racial hatred, they could regain control of the state.

And so they began their work, slandering local newspapers with advertisements and comics that depicted black men as rapists and trumpeted the threat of “negro rule” across the state. They formed white citizens’ organizations and state-wide white militias that worked to intimidate black citizens and discourage voting. These efforts culminated in the 1898 Wimington Massacre, which is widely considered by historians to be the only successful coup in American history. During the Wilmington Massacre, white men stormed the city and burned down the headquarters of the black newspaper, forcing black city council members to resign at gunpoint and killing at least 98 people—most of whom were black.

Following the massacre, anti-black violence swept across the state, effectively intimidating black voters away from the polls. And, in 1900, Charles B. Aycock was elected the governor of North Carolina.

In 1914, Aycock dormitory was named in his honor by Trinity College, the precursor to Duke University. It was not named because Aycock had any specific as-sociation with the school—he did not attend Duke, nor did he give money to construct the building. The dorm was simply named to honor Aycock’s legacy, which is why the name should change.

As a University, we cannot afford to accept history as something that is static, nor can we afford to gloss over the inconvenient truths of our own history as an institution. The reality is that for years and years, Duke was a university that condoned racism and racial exclu-sion. But times change, and, thankfully, our University has changed along with them. We are now an institu-tion that throws its arms open wide to the world and all its people, and we owe it to ourselves and to our community to ensure that the names of our first-year residence halls welcome all students to Duke equally.

So what’s in a name? As it turns out, quite a lot.Editor’s note: This column originally ran in the Feb. 4,

What’s in a name?

Aycock renaming presents lingering questionsThe announcement that Aycock Dormitory

on East Campus was being renamed was met with tremendous joy by all those who had lobbied to remove one of the stains of white supremacy from Duke’s campus. It was a change whose time had come, and the administration certainly aligned itself with the wishes of the student body in implementing it less than six months after the initial resolution calling for the renaming was passed by the Duke Student Government.

Dubbed the father of public education in North Carolina, Charles Aycock was also a leading spokesman in white supremacy movements and frequently employed vitriolic and defamatory language toward blacks. Aycock made no financial or intellectual contributions to Duke. There was no justification for commemorating a deeply racist man who did little to directly improve the University, and, thankfully, Duke students no longer must live within a building named for him.

There is the lingering question, however, why the administration did not choose to fully adopt the resolution of DSG. In its entirety, the resolution called for the dorm to be renamed after Julian Abele, the black architect who

designed much of West Campus. Certainly East Residence Hall is better than Aycock, but it does not have the same meaning as Abele Hall—nor, for that matter, have the same ring to it.

East Residence Hall was the original name of the dormitory, which opened in 1911 when

Duke University was still Trinity College. One year later, however, the Board of Trustees decided to change the name to Aycock. There has been some concern that the naming of an East Residence Hall on East Campus next to the East Duke building may be somewhat confusing to freshmen who are already struggling to get around campus. That is not to say that these concerns outweigh the benefits of renaming Aycock, because, in this instance, the benefits certainly outweigh any potential drawbacks. Nonetheless, it does seem as if there may have been a better choice for the renaming.

Perhaps the University considers the name East Residence Hall temporary, as it waits for an alumnus worthy of being the namesake

to emerge, or, perhaps, it is looking for an opportunity to receive a donation in order to find a more permanent name. Administrators noted that the restoration of the dorm’s original name is deliberate, however, and so it is also possible that the name is here to stay. Only time will tell, but, for now, it does seem a shame to have missed the opportunity to remind our students of the great contributions that Julian Abele made for our school. The time has come for him to be recognized in a more significant manner, and it will be the responsibility of the administration to decide how it will do so. With the large amount of construction currently taking place around campus, there will be a lot of options to choose from. Reopening West Union as the Julian Abele Student Union would be an impressive testament to the gratitude that the University has for Abele’s contributions.

But, for now, the renaming of Aycock should go in the victory column for all of the student leaders and organizations that fought for the change.

public affairs, noted that the name change is effective immediately—when the Class of 2018 receives their hous-ing assignments later this week, east residence hall will be listed instead of Aycock for the first time in more than a century.

responsible for opening and support-ing hundreds of public schools, Aycock was known as the “education Governor” and his name graces buildings at schools throughout the state—including the University of north Carolina at Chapel hill, east Carolina University and the University of north Carolina at Greens-boro.

Aycock’s involvement with the white supremacy movement has garnered at-tention in recent years, sparking dia-logue about his legacy, including his statue in the Capitol Building’s national

Statuary hall.To ensure that the change is an edu-

cational one, a plaque detailing the his-tory of the name will be placed in the entryway of the dormitory, Brodhead noted.

“We’ve given this careful thought. one argument is that history is history, and we can’t change it by erasing,” Brod-head said. “But i don’t regard this as an erasure.”

The resolution passed by DSG in January suggested that the building be renamed for Julian Abele, who designed much of West Campus and was one of the nation’s most prominent black archi-tects in the early 1900s. The University ultimately decided against Abele being the namesake for a building that he did not design, Brodhead said.

“There might be the right circum-stances to put his name on something at a future time,” Brodhead said of Abele.

DUHS receives $15 million award to fund investigations of brain disorder treatment


Duke Medicine has received a $15 million award to pursue treatment of brain disorders.

The $15 million was awarded to Duke Medicine by The Marcus Foundation to fund an ongoing project by Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg, chief scientific officer of Duke’s robertson Clinical and Transla-tional Cell Therapy Program, and Ger-aldine Dawson, director of the Duke Center for Autism Diagnosis and Treat-ment. The joint project is a $41 million five-year plan to investigate the treat-ment of brain disorders using umbilical cord, the first two years of which will be funded by the award.

The brain disorders include autism, stroke, cerebral palsy and several others. Kurtzberg and Dawson’s project intends to employ series of clinical trials, using umbilical cord blood cells to treat 390 patients with autism, 100 children with cerebral palsy and 90 adults with stroke. These cell-based therapies, according to Kurtzberg and Dawson, could potential-ly serve to repair damaged areas of the brain that likely caused the disorders.

“Joanne Kurtzberg has done ground-breaking work on cord blood transplan-tation at Duke, and Geri Dawson brings

an enormous wealth of knowledge and experience of autism,” said Victor Dzau, chancellor for health affairs and president and Ceo of Duke University health System, in a Duke news release. “Together they will explore innovative approaches to treating these challeng-ing brain disorders. This research holds the promise of truly transformational discovery, and we are deeply grateful to The Marcus Foundation for making it possible.”

The project has already begun with a preliminary trial including 20 autism patients. Phase i of the project involves treating these subjects with their own cord blood cells, followed by Phase ii trials, which will feature the use of do-nated cord blood cells from children with autism and cerebral palsy, and adults with stroke.

“Funding for this type of research is very scarce, so the only way we can tru-ly make progress is with support from private philanthropic organizations like The Marcus Foundation,” said Dr. nancy Andrews, dean of Duke Univer-sity School of Medicine, in the release. “With the foundation’s help, we hope to give untold numbers of people with autism and related disorders hope for a better outcome.”
