Duke senior Tracy Egharevba will appear on an episode of Oprah today entitled "Women Who Use Sex to Find Love."
When the alumni returned to Duke this past weekend, there was a common thread of conversation among the five- and ten-year-outs: "Man, when I went to school here, it was so much cooler."
He might reference Marx and decry mainstream rap, but MC Dalek says he's 100-percent hip-hop.
Sesame-crusted ahi tuna spring rolls? I don't think so. Flash-fried Italian leek garnish? Nowhere in sight. Lavender red pepper reduction? Yeah, right.
Eve Ensler might be credited with writing the play that defines modern womanhood, but the 52-year-old author and star of The Vagina Monologues is not a feminist. At least, so she says. "I'm trying to stay away from 'ist' words these days," she told recess while in North Carolina for the Charlotte run of her new play, The Good Body. But labels aside, Ensler is deeply committed to what many would call the core values of feminism.
We were beyond thrilled when we heard Mad Hatter's, our favorite overpriced cafe and bakeshop, was coming to the newly built Bostock. We were even more thrilled when said vendor started providing free coffee leading up to the opening. Needless to say, our excitement had reached near fever pitch by the time the long-awaited eatery finally opened its doors. Er, counter. The flowers on the tables were the same, the special Mad Hatter's house blend coffee, identical. Surely they had transferred the entire workings of the space-as-big-as-Cameron to the Bostock pavilion, right? After all, what else could we expect from the state-of-the-art library construction that kept us from doing any work all of last year?
Forget Washington, D.C.-Kenin is a Duke band, through and through. Kenin was born in the frat section of the former Kappa Sigma, and nurtured by the vast network of Dukies who love great music and old friends. The band might have evolved, trading one guitarist for another, moving the base of operations from Durham to D.C., but the spirit is the same-the spirit is all Duke. Kenin is how Duke dreams.
They work 40, 50, sometimes 60 hours a week. When something goes right they rarely get credit, and when something goes wrong they always get stuck cleaning up the mess-or at least making the coffee for the people who do.
Correction: This article should have noted that the film won the Working Films-sponsored content+intent=change award.

Before Martin Scorsese took the stage Saturday night at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, Nancy Buirski, festival founder and longtime Scorsese friend, told the crowd, “He is a man who needs no introduction, but I’m going to give it to you anyway.”
The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is once again rolling into Durham starting April 7, and this year it will be honoring two of documentary’s best, filmmakers Ken Burns and brother Ric Burns. recess film editor Corinne Low chatted with Ken Burns about his remarkable 30-year career in film that many credit with redefining the art of documentary. Here, the man who brought the Civil War, Jazz and Baseball to the small screen speaks about the medium he’s shaped and how it has shaped him. It all began at the Brooklyn Bridge...
When the Spike Lee film Bamboozled first came out in October 2000, Professor Charlotte Pierce-Baker of the women’s studies department took her class to go see it at the theater. “It was a class on black language and culture in the United States,” Pierce-Baker recounted, “an English and linguistics class cross-listed under cultural anthropology and African and African American studies.”

Leif Jonker’s developmental years were steeped in the big-budget movie culture of the 1970s and 1980s. Like most nine-year-olds, he dreamed of bringing down dark empires and begged his mother to let him see the R-rated Alien. When Jonker saw a making of Star Wars special on TV, he said he “realized that people actually made movies.... I was blown away.” He was also determined to make his first film, Alien 2.

In the early ’90s, a decision was made in the offices of the Federal Communications Commission: Digital TV was the future. The idea circulated, gained momentum and was handed down to broadcast executives in various memos and proclamations.
Primer, the debut film of 32-year-old Shane Carruth, has ignited a massive debate on Internet message boards over what exactly happens in this maddening, provocative movie. At its core, Primer is the story of a relationship, tested by temptation and eventually deception. But this film has a few twists: the relationship is a friendship between two whiz-kid engineers, the temptation has to do with inter-time meddling and the deception… well, that’s where things get confusing. Although this plot complexity is what’s making Primer famous in cyberspace, Carruth said he “was much more interested in what’s happening with the film thematically.”
