Saturday is wedding day at the Duke Chapel. From the windows of the Chronicle office in 301 Flowers you can see the parade of bridal parties cycling through every couple of hours-if you're lucky enough to be in the office all day on a Saturday. After plenty of Saturdays-and Sundays through Fridays-in that office, you really start to appreciate that view.

I love rules. When I first took on the job of editor, one of my goals was to reinstill the rules in the staff. Those ranged from the mundane and important (spelling and grammar) to the important feeling but trivial (all of the elements lining up perfectly when they were laid on the page) to the minutiae of procedure during the production process and organizational management. And at 20 I finally learned what most people learn at four or five: Rules are made to be broken.
After four years of college, 10 years of graduate education and the investment of a small fortune in studying the larger questions of the humanities, how are the job prospects? Dismal.

An early goal was all the men’s soccer team needed to beat Ohio State Sunday and earn a trip to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1995.

The men’s basketball team was swinging the ball around the perimeter, nailing threes and exerting unrelenting defensive pressure, and it all added up to a 98-44 win Saturday night.
Over the course of the past week, The Chronicle has come under fire for a number of decisions we've made. I stand by our content and our reporters. That is, every news coverage and editorial pages decision was made with the best intentions in doing what we thought was fair, right and balanced at the time. I do not, however, want to imply that I believe we've done everything right, but I would like to explain why some decisions are made at our independent student-run newspaper and where I hope the discussion can go from here.
Former President Nan Keohane and her husband Robert, James B. Duke professor of political science, will resign their positions in 2005 and take up professorships in Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
It’s hard. After the Civil Rights Movement and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Enron and Halliburton and the Teapot Dome scandal, Watergate and the Pentagon Papers, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln and Millard Fillmore. After Doonesbury cartoons, Independence Day and Legally Blonde 2, the Million Man March, the Million Mom March and a million others. After all the Hollywood glamour and spin, after all the media coverage, after all the hearings and all the protests. After all we hear about is backroom deals and smalltown boys making a difference, it’s hard to believe that Duke would have any place in the Washington world of scandal and intrigue, politics and personal connections.
