The University's opposition to the proposed Triangle Transit Authority rail stop near the Medical Center needs to be squelched. The University can only benefit from a stop near the hospital. Patients will appreciate the convenience and perhaps choose Duke over some other hospital because of its proximity to public transportation. Students could use the rail line to get to and from Franklin Street and South Square, eliminating the need for the University to provide buses at additional expense. Employees would be thrilled not to have to battle increasingly frustrating Triangle area traffic to get to work.

In her column in the Sept. 1 edition of The Chronicle, Maureen McClarnon declared that women should abandon expensive fertility treatments in favor of adopting children born of less fortunate circumstances.

It's déja vu all over again for the women's golf team this spring as it heads into the NCAA East Regionals as the hottest team in the area. Like last season, the Blue Devils won April's Atlantic Coast Conference Championship with a strong team performance and are looking forward to a stellar outing in regional competition. But the Blue Devils aren't hoping to relive last season in its entirety.

So your parents are in town. You've got to take them to dinner. Dad likes steak, but you overslept last week and now the Angus Barn is booked. No openings. Not a chance. Well, as long as Dad's still paying, there are plenty of other Triangle steakhouses that will earn accolades from the fam.

I had a reasonable column all written and ready to go yesterday morning. All I had to do was send it in. My morning was interrupted, however, by Terry Sanford's funeral. Listening to the accolades and praise heaped upon the senator by his friends and colleagues, I couldn't help but be moved into my own state of reflection.

Best known as a U.S. senator, Duke University president and North Carolina governor, Terry Sanford still found time to serve the community outside of elected office, working to bolster the educational and artistic communities of his home state.

The Duke Blue Devils aren't the only underworld figures that inhabit the heart of North Carolina. Buried deep in a remote section of Chatham County, located about an hour southwest of Durham, is an area feared by many due to its... unusual inhabitant.

John Feinstein has my dream job. In fact, he has the dream job of about half of all Duke students.

Winston salem, n.c. - Last year, when Wake Forest couldn't shoot, they could expect superstar senior Tim Duncan to pick up the slack. Without Duncan, the Demon Deacons appear to be lost.

There were children. Little ones. Everywhere. They were jumping, laughing and painting pigs. A gaggle of seven-year-olds were loudly celebrating a friend's birthday at Glaze 'n' Blaze, the paint-it-yourself pottery studio on Ninth Street.

The Sundays-Static and Silence

Well, if you're going to come to campus, you definitely want to get your band some publicity. But sometimes overzealous publicists do your band more harm than good. And such is the case with Corky Siegel's Chamber Blues (appearing in Baldwin Auditorium Saturday, April 26 at 8:30 p.m.). The band was shopped around three different departments until Arts and Features delegated the preview responsibility to R&R. With two papers, a lab report and a test hanging over my head, I was thrilled that the package came up the stairs addressed to me. And then the publicist guy was rude to Kat.

Well, while I'm waiting for the review copy of The Guide to Getting It On to grace our desk (Kat ordered it three weeks ago), I will have to content myself with going to a bunch of free movie screenings (this is my second in two weeks). And since I forgot to mention the eunuch joke in last week's article about Inventing the Abbotts, I'll serve my penance with Grosse Pointe Blank. But it wasn't much of a penance. I enjoyed the film, even though I had to watch it with several hundred annoying Duke students. (C'mon guys, if there's a technical difficulty, give the projectionist a second to fix it. They're not trying to make your lives miserable.) Okay, I'm done griping.

Three teenagers. A small midwestern town. Coming-of-age film. Director Pat O'Connor (of Circle of Friends). I'd expected more. I wanted the film to grab me, kind of like St. Elmo's Fire had. But those are pretty big shoes to fill. The story about three rich girls and two working-class boys deals more with the idea of a class conflict than anyone banding together or making a great personal discovery.

There's something about being back home that makes you feel good. You remember all the times you went clubbing, listening to the bands that struggled to book jobs every week at the same clubs. Some bands got lucky. They had regular gigs at the more popular places in town, and were only usurped when somebody really special came in to town on tour.

The women's golf squad took advantage of its two spring break tournaments, as it solidified its spot among the top echelon of national competition. On March 16, the Blue Devils garnered second-place honors at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Classic in Austin, Texas, finishing a single, painful stroke behind Texas Christian.
