K-Ville Farmers' Market hopes to increase sustainability on campus

(11/08/17 5:03am)

On a hot, sunny afternoon in early November, tents lined Krzyzewskiville as music streamed from a speaker. But it wasn’t a game day. While it was nowhere near as loud or boisterous as the hours leading up to a football or basketball game, the area did hum with activity surrounding the K-Ville Farmers’ Market Friday. Students swept through the area and milled about with friends, pausing when a table caught their eye and often carrying on conversations with the local farmers who displayed their wares.




Homecoming: the best weekend ever?

One of the best parts of living on West Campus is getting to wake up and enjoy a leisurely stroll across the sunlit, grassy quad over to ABP or Divinity Cafe for a hearty Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast.

Social events become more restrictive as they transform into intimate mixers, leaving unaffiliated students with few options besides Shooters if they want to go out.

In the weeks leading up to the Duke vs. Carolina game, hundreds of Duke students forgo sleeping in their cozy dorm beds in favor of taking up residence in the tent village affectionately known as K-Ville. To an outsider, and even to some Duke students, such a sacrifice seems absurd. Yet to others, tenting is a small price to pay for the glory of experiencing the Carolina game in person. Who are the so-called “Crazies” that are willing to give up their valuable time to sit in K-Ville during the day and voluntarily wake up at all hours of the night for tent checks?
