Your chance to make an impact

(04/03/14 10:51am)

How many of you want to lead an extraordinary life? Want to create something that drives change much bigger than yourself? Maybe you’re a chemistry major because you want to cure breast cancer. Or you’re studying public policy because you believe America’s education system needs serious reform. Or perhaps you’re studying economics because you believe more efficient markets could provide food to thousands of starving people around the world.

When trust is broken

(10/27/04 4:00am)

I know we are all tired of talking about sexual assault on Duke’s campus. We all know the statistics by heart: one in four women and one in 10 men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. These numbers don’t mean much anymore. We’ve heard them so often that we’ve almost become numb to the reality behind such grim numbers; we keep on thinking “that won’t happen to me.” Despite all the dialogue and activities to promote sexual assault prevention and awareness, our campus has sadly remained very much unchanged. So what can we do about this?

Happiness and Duke

(10/06/04 4:00am)

Take a look at the world around you. Your roommate is an amazing athlete and has already written an inspirational autobiography. Your best friend is an absolute computer genius and when you watch him talk about his passions, you just know he will make a tangible difference. The seniors in your selective house are looking to the future, getting jobs and becoming the experts that the world will soon look to for important decisions. It seems that everyone is going on to great things.

Helping out in Durham

(09/15/04 4:00am)

Do you ever wonder where your $120 student activities fee goes? This semester alone, I paid $248 so that we have an afternoon barbecue or a band play on the quad whenever Campus Council desires. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love free food just as much as everyone else, but I feel that our money could be spent in better ways. It almost seems wrong to support this unnecessary entertainment when we know we could use the money to provide food or educational programs to the families of Durham.

Commentary: Living on the edge

(05/27/04 4:00am)

You're teetering on the edge of the plane, looking down on the world 3,000 feet below. Your heart is racing and beads of sweat are slowly dripping down your face. You watch as your friend methodically counts to five, a number that you suddenly deathly afraid of. "One, two, three." The blood is rushing faster in your veins. "Four." Your stomach is twisting in knots and you can feel your heartbeat in your throat. "Five." All of a sudden you feel lightheaded, your body is released into a free fall, and your screams are lost among the clouds. You're falling faster than ever and you're scared out of your mind. The only thing that can save you is the parachute on your back. You've never been this close to death, but you've never felt so alive!
