Landy Douglas may not seem like a typical debutante. She calls herself a tomboy, is a Project WILD participant and plays club soccer. She is also preparing to "be presented"--for a second time--in November at Greensboro's presentation ball.
You are now a freshman.
We don't know how to communicate. Man, oh man guys, we have no idea. Things happen: someone says something that pisses us off, makes us uncomfortable, offends us, whatever, and we just shut down. (A disclaimer: I don't believe in being offended. It seems like a device used to shut other people up. "I'm offended, so shut up and stop saying whatever you're saying." Kid's stuff).
It sounded like the perfect story: Figure out who is ranked first academically in the senior class and find out how they got there. Not only did I assume it would be easy--after all, who wouldn't want to admit being at the top of their class?--but I thought it might be potentially juicy as well. I had images of grade-grubbing pre-meds double-crossing each other to get to the top, soon-to-be-law-school-students seducing professors to see if they could get that A- bumped up to an A, and career-crazed almost-investment bankers paying to keep their 4.0s.
When most students consider Duke's special collections library, they're probably more likely to think Walt Whitman than Wonder Woman--if they know the library even exists.
Once I got into an argument with a guy over whether or not I was gay. I said I was. He said I wasn't and told me his "gaydar" was never wrong. "Darling, I know gay, and you're not it," he said.
There is a scandal on this campus. The most vocal self-declared "progressives" and "conservatives" at Duke are actually the exact same people, and no one is saying anything about it.
"I don't know Tupac," I'd say.
In Lamu, a small island off the coast of Kenya, the streets are way too narrow for cars, so 4,000 donkeys pace the roads, transporting goods and defecating. The town, like much of the coast, is upwards of 90 percent Muslim.
Following the announcement that the University will no longer provide cheap storage to students, many have complained about the loss of the service and demanded an alternative. Ultimately, however, Duke was offering a convenience and is under no obligation to make up for its absence in response to this wasted whining.
What is the deal with the color patterns on the carpet in Perkins Library? What is the official view of library staff members on sex in the stacks? What is the meaning of life?
"Texas isn't just a state; it's a state of mind."
Southgate Dormitory was never an insane asylum, even if freshman and current resident Kate Hansen suggests some of its current residents are a little "bonkers."
The Native American Student Coalition has only three Native American members, but that didn't stop the group from organizing the First Annual Powwow at Duke last Saturday. The event, which featured area drummers, dancers, and craft vendors, was a massive undertaking for a group with such small membership.
My friend always says that a disproportionate number of weird things happen to me.
Jesse Helms. The U.S. ambassador to Canada. Hard-core sex.
Two men. Two murders. One fate.
Central Campus leaders are hoping that this year's newly restructured Central Campus Council will be more responsive to the needs of its residents.
A lot of thoughts and feelings rushed through Shane Battier's head as he entered the Tropicana Field locker room.
Dr. Margaret Pericak-Vance is running a little late. She bustles into her office in the Carl Building of Duke Hospital, motioning us to follow her, jokingly bemoaning the presence of a photographer and asking one of the office's student interns to get her some water. It is 90 degrees outside but the heat doesn't seem to slow Perciak-Vance down.
