Since the front-page column penned by Duke Students for Housing Reform, there has been a considerable response from students, administration, faculty, alumni and parents. Many people responded extremely positively, and a few extremely negatively. Most, I can confidently say, were slightly intrigued. That’s a job well done in the newspaper business these days.
On the last day of each month, Duke plays host to a few more tents — but not in K-Ville. These tents sit underneath the magnolia tree between the Chapel and the Gray building, where couples can camp out to reserve their optimal wedding date.
There are certain hallmarks of campus life which when encountered serve as sudden reminders that spring semester is in full swing. The chaotic but lively swarm of tents in K-ville, the destructive sweep of the flu and of course, the Young Trustee election. Signs of the election are everywhere with student groups releasing endorsements, flyers flying all over campus and campaign materials flooding social media newsfeeds.

A 100-year evolutionary anthropology study on the genetic mutations of Duke’s administration has produced findings that have rocked this campus to its very core. The report comes at an awkward time for the administration, facing tough questions over the closing down of K-ville as well as last week’s bombshell revelation that Duke’s most controversial rapper—Executive Vice President Tallman Trask—is still employed by this university.

Earlier this week, news broke of a Duke Student Government Judiciary investigation which found DSG guilty of “flagrant misconduct” regarding Krzyzewskiville. The inquiry found that through a series of bureaucratic missteps, K-Ville had been operating illegally earlier this January and that line monitors had been holding their positions unlawfully. The latest dramatics surrounding the Duke undergraduate representatives have plunged the university tradition into controversy. While some of the language used in describing the situation appears to be, in truth, overly harsh, this supposed scandal does allow for a chance to consider the errors found and their implications for campus politics.
The cloud of the flu continues to hover over campus, and the Krzyzewskiville shutdown will now last for longer than a week.
Imagine you’re sick. Not a stretch, considering the severity of flu season at Duke has shut K-Ville down for students at least until Monday.

Over the weekend, high school basketball sensation and No.2 recruit in the country, Zion Williamson, committed to Duke. Williamson has gained notoriety in the basketball community for his outlandish dunking ability. Despite speculation that Williamson would commit to other programs such as The-School-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-(Not-By-Us-But-)By-Corrupt-NCAA-Officials-For-Being-Equally-Corrupt, Kentucky, Kansas and Clemson, Williamson chose to become a Blue Devil on Saturday. Williamson joins an already-stacked class of incoming players, namely top recruits R.J Barrett and Cameron Reddish. Duke’s powerhouse recruiting begs the question: what makes these superstar players chose Duke over other competitive programs?
At Wednesday's Duke Student Government Senate meeting, the Senate discussed an appeal from the Jewish Student Union to request funding for its Tu B’Shevat Celebration in full, as the Student Organization Financing Committee only granted $89 of the requested $237.
