CLEMSON, S.C.—It is a well-known fact that tigers are extremely territorial — and now at an impressive 5-0 at home after Thursday night, the Clemson Tigers certainly defended their home turf.

On December 5, I had the honor of convening “A Talking Circle on the War in Israel and Gaza: Sharing Our Pain” alongside Professors Abdullah Antepli and Peter Casarella. This event was sponsored by The Duke University Chapel, Duke Divinity School Center for Reconciliation, Fons Vitae and Student Affairs. Over 40 people — undergraduates, graduate and professional school students, staff and faculty — attended this two-hour event, where we were able to share the pain that we are feeling following the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 and its continuing aftermath. At five tables, we introduced ourselves, our reasons for attending and our connection to the current crisis. In the second round, we talked about our personal pain about the Oct. 7 attack and the war in Gaza. Finally, in the third round, we reflected on our experience participating in this event and what other events we would like to see moving forward.

Dear Blue Devil football players,

College basketball pundits have long argued over the best way to judge a team, whether it be NET ranking, offensive and defensive efficiency, the “eye test” or something completely different. By any of these measures, Duke has not lived up to its preseason expectations. The simplest way to gauge the Blue Devils season thus far is their record: an unimpressive 5-3.

Editor’s note: A speaker at the event was concerned about their family’s safety if quoted and attributed in this piece, given that their sibling was taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7 and has not been released.

The last lap in Mario Kart when the music speeds up. That critical stretch of a football game after the two-minute warning. The last 0.2 miles of a 26.2-mile marathon. All three make an apt comparison to the hectic pace of the final few weeks of the semester between Thanksgiving and Winter Break. With finals, projects, shopping and holiday social gatherings all crammed into a few short weeks, the sentiments of joy and gratitude which are supposed to define this season get pushed to the wayside.

The Oct. 27 guest column “Time to Drop the Foreign Language Requirement” tenders five arguments against the foreign language requirement. I think the arguments are rather weak and, more importantly, shortchange the significance of the humanities and a liberal arts education more generally. Although many Duke students are already multilingual or have been placed into more advanced foreign language courses, the column’s arguments seem to presume a monolingual English-speaking student with no foreign language experience, so let’s review the arguments in that context.

The COP28, the annual summit where nations gather to assess the world’s progress in fighting climate change, is currently undergoing its second week. This year’s summit is being held in the United Arab Emirates under the direction of Sultan Al Jaber, an Emirati politician and oil executive who, according to recently discovered documents, is using the event to promote fossil fuel production by lobbying other countries. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General António Guterres is warning the world that “humanity has opened the gates to hell” by failing to take aggressive actions to mitigate climate change. Our politicians are gathering at a conference where key leaders plan to discuss the expansion of fossil fuels without seemingly any care for how that impacts our future.

It has been more than three months since the ACC announced its expansion with three new member schools — Stanford, California and SMU. However, conference realignment is still in its nascent phase and there are a lot of questions about the future.

No one could have imagined the horrors of the Hamas terrorist attack that began on Saturday, Oct. 7. Israelis near the Gaza border woke up to sirens at 6:30 a.m. — unfortunately an all too familiar sound. But the attack took an unprecedented turn in the horror and trauma that Hamas inflicted on Israelis — Jews, Muslims and Christians alike. Our hearts hurt for the thousands of Israelis and Palestinians whose lives have been taken in this war. After the barbaric murdering, beheading, raping and setting ablaze of innocent people in Israel, Jews could not fathom how life could become more terrifying.
