Column: Remember to be safe, smart and not stupid

(01/09/04 5:00am)

 Well another year has come and gone. Spring marks the mass return of most juniors who were abroad, the propping up of tents in K-Ville and quite a few seniors wondering what the heck they are going to do after May. I'm sure most had a good break and quickly forgot mostly all they learned first semester. However, a few things that happened last semester should be remembered and not forgotten. Towards the end of school last semester, the issue of student safety was becoming a hot-button topic for a lot of people (remember?) and hopefully it will remain so. This is something that should not be forgotten because of a long absence from school. This is not something that should be forgotten with the graduation and matriculation of new students. Anyone who enrolls at this school should always remember while we may feel isolated from the real world we are still very close to it.

Column: The gathering storm

(11/05/03 5:00am)

Dear citizens of North Carolina: A storm is gathering in your great state. I'm not talking about the next big hurricane or the annual Andy Griffith look-alike festival. I'm talking about a foreign invasion. The state has not had to worry about foreign invasion since the Revolutionary War (or since the Civil War as some residents will say), being protected from miles and miles of land and ocean from the nearest countries. Maybe your guard has been let down over the past 200 years and you've been spending all your time reenacting the War Between the States. I don't know, but this state is at a cross road. You're at a crossroad, because the aliens are coming.

Column: Basset affair centennial forces retrospective

(10/15/03 4:00am)

Two thousand and three is a year which marks many things. To some it is the culmination of the successful presidency of one of the greatest fundraisers in the country, President Nan Keohane. Some see 2003 as the year in which Duke witnessed fierce campus debates on race and social life. To others it marks the year hell froze over and both the Red Sox and Cubs actually went far into the playoffs.

Column: Cutthroat recruiting has no place at Duke

(09/12/03 4:00am)

With being one of the top institutions in the country comes the responsibility of staying at the top, and today's universities will stop at almost nothing to ensure a school's greatness is secure. A school's administration is never at rest. It always has to be in attack mode, from buying up surrounding land for new buildings and building brand new parking garages to changing the name of a school's honor code to some name like "community standard" without significantly changing the code itself.
