It seems like Duke has flipped the switch in recent weeks.
Though this year’s Duke team may not generate a ton of hype, the 2019-20 Blue Devils are primed to accomplish something that the previous 13 Duke squads have not: win an outright ACC regular season title.
On Feb. 10, at the Bernie Sanders rally in New Hampshire, The Strokes announced the upcoming (April 10, to be exact) arrival of their newest album, “The New Abnormal,” and the release of a new single, “At the Door.” This is following their 2016 EP “Future Past Present” and their 2013 album “Comedown Machine.”
Pace of play may be a source of concern for many baseball fans, but on nights when pitchers are as efficient as Duke’s staff was Tuesday night, even the most anxious fans worries are put to rest.
After a blowout win against Notre Dame Saturday, Duke travels to nearby Raleigh to take on N.C. State in perhaps the team's toughest road competition left on its schedule. The Blue Zone breaks down three keys if the Blue Devils want to come away with a victory and remain atop the ACC standings:
Two weeks ago, I tackled what I saw as a form of stigmatization that exists against the pre-professional track at Duke. I wanted to refute the idea that choosing a career for financial stability or other material reasons is a “shallow” way to live life. Although I feel I have worked to legitimate the choice to become a preprofessional, that does not mean there are no problems with the pre-professional track, especially as it exists at Duke.
Ever wonder who’s responsible for making students drag themselves out of bed and stumble into that old lecture hall at 8:30 in the morning? Don’t immediately blame the professor.
On Duke’s nearly deserted Central Campus, one of the last buildings standing holds a vital resource. From the outside, it looks like a humble brick house—but inside lies a treasure that some students desperately need.
Claudia Koonz knows that talking to her can sometimes be difficult. “Don't talk to a Nazi historian if you want to cheer up,” she cautions with a laugh.
A pair of former Blue Devils made their first career All-Star Game appearances this past weekend, while two more battled it out in the Rising Stars contest. From Brandon Ingram to Zion, the Blue Zone breaks down how Duke men's basketball fared during All-Star Weekend:
Don’t look now, but the Blue Devils are starting to peak at just the right time before March overtakes the college basketball universe. However, despite North Carolina State being viewed as the tiny third wheel in the intense hatred between Duke and North Carolina, the Blue Devils should not overlook an improving Wolfpack team. The Blue Zone is here to give you a couple key names to look out for in Wednesday night’s battle:
This week's campus countdown takes you through the biggest stories in national, local and campus politics—from a Sanders campaign rally to how alumni voted on impeachment.
The format of DukeEngage Academy was altered this year, and students are generally pleased with the decision to restructure the program.
Cries of “hey hey, ho ho, these racist wars have got to go” and “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” echoed in front of the Chapel Feb. 17 as students gathered to protest John Bolton when he came to speak on campus Monday evening.
With protesters outside his Monday night event, John Bolton, former national security advisor to President Donald Trump, made his first public appearance since the launch of the impeachment inquiry at a packed Page Auditorium.
The United Methodist Church is embroiled in controversy about its regressive stance against gay marriage. Duke’s Divinity School, a United Methodist Church seminary, has long found itself in the crosshairs of UMC’s tradition and student advocacy for better progress on queer issues. Lately, the school has considered its future given the possibility that UMC may split into different factions based on different congregations’ social values. Student advocates calling for condemnation of “UMC’s discriminatory LGBTQ policies” are important; however, they do not go far enough. It’s time for the Divinity School to come out as gay.
By the end of this semester, I will have taken ten English classes at Duke, completing the major just in time to graduate (knocks on wood). Some might say this makes me an expert on the English major requirements; I agree. And my main takeaway is this:
Dear Unlicensed Ethicist: I detest John Bolton, a warmonger who has tarnished American foreign policy. I cannot decide if I am more angry with the mustachioed fiend himself or Professor Feaver, who invited him to speak at Duke. Should he really be permitted to spread his lies and hate right here on campus?
The Blue Devils are rolling right now.
Top recruiting classes, hitting at least one 3-pointer in a game and Cascada's "Everytime We Touch" have all been constants for Duke men's basketball this past decade.
