I’ll spare you the rant about our school being a breeding ground for pre-professional zombies, but the fact remains that only a small minority of Duke students will graduate to pursue art as their primary vocation. David Mayer is one of them.

A group of strangers crowd into a New York City subway car. It’s the ‘40s, and you can tell by the way everyone’s dressed. A woman on the far left wears a thick cross around her neck, but it doesn't stop her clinging velvet gown from partially exposing her breasts. She’s talking to another woman who’s too focused on taking in the gossip to notice the child tugging on her thick fur coat. Her socially superior analog to the right wears a look of judgment as she cradles her blonde-haired daughter. Another man is wary in his fedora and circular glasses, but much less so than the elderly woman who exhibits her discomfort with a sharp glare at the two chatterboxes. The only passengers who aren't visibly disgruntled by the duo are a fast-asleep construction worker and a bearded grump engrossed in that day’s paper.

Seventeen Duke faculty members will debut their works tomorrow at the Power Plant Gallery, the Center for Documentary Studies’s offsite exhibition space at the American Tobacco Campus. Dubbed “In Practice,” the exhibition will feature photography, film and video, printmaking and new media pieces by professors from the departments of Art, Art History and Visual Studies, the Center for Documentary Studies and the Program in the Arts of the Moving Image (AMI).
I’ve long been ambivalent toward New York. The torrent of pop culture references and my friends’ debriefings have collectively hyped the city as some kind of God-given utopia, an infinitely generative wonderland where great things are simply bound to happen, yada yada yada. The praise starts to sound like minor variations on an exhausted cliché. Needless to say, my ambivalence accompanied me to Beverly McIver’s New York Stories,the Durham artist’s latest collection at the Craven Allen Gallery.
Christiana Barnett-Murphy started dancing the second her legs could work. Growing up in the nearby Creedmore, NC, dancing in the living room with her mother was the highlight of her daily routine.
Tucked in between the row of restaurants and specialty stores on Ninth Street lies Ox & Rabbit Soda and Sundries, a soda fountain shop that has been open since May 2008.
Tumblr seems to be taking over the internet. The micro-blogging website serves as a platform for people to post, repost text and multimedia in ways that promote shared blogger interests.

Beginning with an information session at Duke Oct. 12, students have begun to rally to express solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in early September. Occupy Duke has pitched tents in what they call an indefinite occupation of the quad in front of the Chapel in a movement to address the wealth inequality prevalent in America. The Chronicle's Andrew Karim spoke with Duke students and faculty alike about their opinions on this issue.
