Letter to the Editor

(10/07/15 4:02am)

I disagree with Duke Political Union’s Sept. 30th column, “Welfare and the federal government,” on several points. First, being only 11 percent of the budget, safety net programs will not bankrupt the federal government. What will is the military budget and corporate welfare. The military budget is 18 percent the federal budget and larger than the next seven countries combined, way too large. And there is no need for the government to be giving handouts to big oil and big banks.

Where is the Duke-Durham hostility?

(10/13/11 8:16am)

As I read Milap Mehta’s column, “A change for Duke’s eateries,” once again I wondered where is this Duke-Durham hostility? I rarely hear it, though I must admit that with a physical therapy certificate and a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) from Duke, my circle may be limited. I am aware of two groups who do not like Duke students. The first group is made up of the people living in Trinity Park whose yards are messed up by weekend parties. And this is an old complaint.... I haven’t heard it recently. Unfortunately, the other group of people, who really hate Duke, is much larger. They wear light blue and are graduates of that school 10 miles down the road. Now we all know they are an inferior people, so we should just ignore them.
