I was born and raised in Poland, behind the Iron Curtain. I didn’t want to raise my family in a totalitarian system, so I decided to get out. I came to the United States as a graduate student. And I brought my wife and two kids, still in diapers. We lived in the cheapest graduate housing apartment available in town, the only one we could barely afford on a meager stipend supplemented by my weekend earnings from yard work. The apartment was located in an army barrack, built for the returning GI’s in 1945,and later adopted by Princeton University for its students.

The Mad Men and Mad Women Party in Perkins and Bostock Libraries Friday, Feb. 25 was an amazing undertaking—a good time for 3,000 people, weaving the libraries’ rich historical advertising collections into the evening. Such an event does not happen by magic, but through very thorough planning and much hard work. I would like to highlight the superhuman efforts of the Duke Marketing Club, and thank them for pulling off an event that will, as President Brodhead said, “give us all a happy memory of Duke at its best.” The Marketing Club’s original proposal to the Libraries was irresistible, and it all came true Friday night. My deepest thanks to Emma Donaho, the club’s chair, Alison Lane, Brandon Putnam, Erica Washington, Jerica Elmacioglu, Jessica Brown, Marianne Schroer, Tammy Leung, Ted Li, Tracy Vallejo and their generous and tireless faculty advisor, George Grody.

Despite the fact that I’m not a celebrity (yet), the four of us share a bond that exceeds their experiences with notoriety and paparazzi: Me, Hillary, Wes and Adam were—or in my case, am—resident assistants on our college campuses.

From “duke, Horizontal” to sex toy workshops to lectures by Dr. Ruth, you would think that everyone’s just having sex all the time at Duke.

As many of you may know by now, these include scaling Baldwin Auditorium, tunneling, driving backwards in the traffic circle and having sex in the stacks and in the Duke Gardens.
