CS Majors launch 'ambiguous and labelless relationship' pact

(02/19/24 5:00am)

It’s the week after Valentine’s Day, and perhaps you — like thousands of other students at Duke — are still single and contemplating if you’ll ever be loved. You are not alone: Marriages are in decline. Birth rates are down. Depression and isolation are at record levels in the United States. In 2023, the US “epidemic of loneliness” was declared a public health crisis. All around, people are more disconnected. But never fear — as always, a group of Duke CS majors has developed a solution.

(02/17/24 6:35pm)

Sophomore point guard Tyrese Proctor did not travel with the Duke men’s basketball team to Tallahassee, Fla., for its Saturday game against Florida State due to a concussion.

I can't get no satisfaction at the Grammys

(02/19/24 3:21am)

It’s rare for people to focus on the positive and leave it at that — the 66th Annual Grammy Awards were no exception. With sublime performances from Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish, a dominating sweep by women in every major award category and powerful comebacks from veteran artists Billy Joel and Joni Mitchell, some people have claimed that this ceremony eclipses any in recent memory.
