I was planning to write a mock fashion column this week . . . seriously. For any of you who actually read Towerview, you must have noticed that the editors often include a fashion piece with commentary and student model to boot. Although intended to provide sound advice on the hottest designer attire, the articles are nothing short of hysterical (check them at www.dukechronicle.com under magazine archive). I even had an opening line prepared: "I may never have worked at Vogue and my last name isn't Fortunato but that doesn't mean I can't pontificate on the latest trends."

Last week was one of the worst at Duke during my four years on campus. First, we lost back-to-back ACC basketball games against unranked Florida State and UNC. Second, the women's basketball team suffered a stunning defeat against Maryland during the ACC tournament semifinals. Finally, in an unprecedented feat of underhandedness, the administration effectively ended the social scene at Duke for the foreseeable future by purchasing the bulk of off-campus houses.

It is not easy being a student leader. Just ask Duke Student Government. The only popular elected student governing body, DSG is supposed to serve the best interests of the students-and that is exactly what it has done with regard to ARAMARK Corp. After speaking with students, listening to a company presentation and examining performances at other institutions, DSG offered a "no confidence" vote for the third consecutive year.

Today is the first official day of Interfraternity Council Recruitment, commonly referred to as fraternity rush. The most unfortunate aspect of rush this year is that it is limited to two and half weeks as opposed to the four weeks it once was when I was a freshman. Thus freshmen, about to make a decision that will affect their entire undergraduate experience, should not waste a single night, beginning with the IFC meet-and-greet Thursday evening. With three and half years of classes remaining but fewer than three weeks of rush, work should not be a hindrance.

One year ago today, Phil Kurian, Trinity '05, published the now notorious column "The Jews" in which he attacked the "shocking overrepresentation" of Jewish students at top universities throughout the country. Citing famed Holocaust denier Norman Finkelstein, Kurian descried Jewish exploitation of the "Holocaust Industry" and described the Jewish people as a "very well-funded and well-organized establishment."

Dear Jesse Longoria,

My parents, products of the baby-boom generation, knew exactly where they were when Kennedy was shot and Armstrong walked on the moon. Monumental events in American history-one deeply distressing, the other incredibly inspiring-will forever remain in my parents' memories.

In an unprecedented sting operation that looked more Hollywood than higher education, undercover Alcohol Law Enforcement officers in conjunction with uniformed Durham police officers stormed an off-campus fraternity house Thursday night. Three days before classes even began, the two law enforcement departments handed out 87-plus citations that evening, including more than 20 to freshmen. The University will be well-represented in local court on Tuesday, Oct. 11.

Speaking at a May 16 news conference in Raleigh, Professor John Hope Franklin, Duke’s famed historian, urged the state legislature to support a two-year moratorium on executions during which time a newly formed state-sponsored commission would study North Carolina’s system of capital punishment. In addition to the notable North Carolinians who joined Dr. Franklin in Raleigh, Herb Sendek, N.C. State’s current basketball coach, and Dean Smith, UNC’s legendary basketball coach, expressed their unwavering support for the bill in letters to the governor and state legislature.

Alan Gell sat in prison for nine years for a crime he did not commit. He spent four of those years—the length of your entire time at Duke—on death row for the 1995 murder of Allen Ray Jenkins in Aulander, N.C. In spite of the fact that there was no physical evidence linking Gell to the case and that the strongest evidence against him was the testimony of two young females who were accomplices to the crime, the Attorney General’s office tried him for first-degree murder.
