Often, we judge our experiences based on how we feel at the most intense moment and at the end of an experience. This is known as the peak-end rule, a common psychological heuristic. After an incredible season of roller coaster highs and lows, we can’t let ourselves fall victim to this tendency. This year cannot be determined by the score of the last game, but rather by the collective memory we share of the season. We still control how we experience the end of this season, and heartbreak should not be the last thing we remember.

Earlier this month, we elected a new DSG president by a razor-thin margin, with the two candidates separated by only twenty-five votes. On the same ballot and in stark contrast, the student body overwhelmingly voted in favor of the referendum for divestment of fossil fuel-affiliated holdings in the university’s endowment. 2,456 undergraduates voted “yes.” Only 203 voted “no.”

We are now experiencing the repercussions of depriving the student body’s democratic voice in the Young Trustee nomination process. This Monday, a Pratt senior revealed that a Young Trustee finalist was in violation of conflict of interest standards due to his personal relationships with the majority of the Young Trustee Nominating Committee (YTNC). We support Mohammad Khatami’s guest column and consider the broader implications of his findings.

Editor’s note: Several individuals featured in this article were concerned about experiencing harassment after publication.

In mid-February, Durham citizens created a petition to ban fraternities from Durham’s residential neighborhoods. Residents from the Tuscaloosa-Lakewood area campaigned to remove the five Alpha Delta Phi houses – a.k.a. “the compound” – on Chapel Hill Road. The list of complaints is expansive, describing the fraternities as “a public nuisance” that “violate noise ordinances, … permit the use of illegal drugs, … trespass on neighboring property, and otherwise disturb the peace…of the neighborhood.” How did members of Duke’s student body reach this level of incivility? More importantly, while rowdy behavior is expected from college students on campus, how did Duke allow this behavior to seep into Durham neighborhoods?

You know, the classic snarky comments about my stinky ethnic food and exclusion from the “cool” groups during high school because let’s face it, I was pretty uncool.
