Where is the line? Asking for a friend

(08/25/18 11:13pm)

I would like to pose a couple of questions to those members of the Duke “family” who believe the administration is doing enough to address issues of hate and discrimination on campus. Note the quotations, meant to illustrate how loosely a term can be applied as a mere buzzword where it does not belong. The inability of our administrative “parents” to protect and educate the children with which they have been entrusted seems antithetical to my understanding of “family.” Then again, maybe minority students at Duke are the black sheep of this family. Sobering pun entirely intended.

In defense of 'dating' at Duke

(04/11/17 5:35am)

Duke and its peer institutions are often criticized for having a “hook-up” culture that makes “real relationships” difficult. While many students lament the lack of “real dating,” the achievement-based, high-pressure, opportunity-rich environments that define elite campuses lend themselves better to more casual interactions.

Reality check

(01/31/17 5:27am)

Google Robert Hoge. He’s a high-ranking official in the Australian government, an author and a brilliant man with an incredible resume, but the first word Google recommends when you type in his name is “ugly.” Is it not tremendously short-sighted and particularly telling that despite everything he has accomplished, the Premier of Queensland is best known for his arresting appearance? Hasn’t Hoge proved the common sentiment “looks don’t matter”?

I’m not tryna hear you

(01/17/17 2:43pm)

Jan. 20 is fast upon us, and social media is ablaze with grief-stricken individuals assuming all those who are not openly distressed are one of two people: they support President-elect Donald Trump and by extension are [insert insulting adverb(s) of choice here] blinded by their White privilege, or they did not vote, apathetically allowing Trump to win and thus expressing a blatant disregard for the experiences of those marginalized by Trump’s divisive rhetoric.

Final Exam: Sponsored Parkour athlete by night, Duke student by day

(04/16/15 8:02pm)

Meet senior David Ivey—a sponsored Parkour athlete. Parkour athletes use only their own athleticism to get from point A to point B as efficiently as possible, which can include running, vaulting oneself off walls or swinging. Although it is usually done in urban locations, Parkour can be practiced anywhere, and athletes seek to see their environment and the art of navigation as constantly evolving. It began in the French military in the 1980s, and in the last 20 years it has become an increasingly popular recreational activity and competitive sport. The Chronicle's Amani Carson-Rose sat down with David to discuss balancing academics with Parkour.
