The Duke Men’s Basketball team will take on NC Central in its second and final exhibition game Thursday night at 7 p.m.. This is a standard walk-up policy game.
Cameron Crazies, the day has arrived! Your first opportunity to see the 2004-2005 Duke men’s basketball team compete is tonight at 7 p.m. in Cameron.
Aycock Dormitory racked up another “green” triumph today as victor of this year’s East Campus Eco-Olympics. In the month-long contest sponsored by the student-run Environmental Alliance, freshmen competed to see which residence hall could recycle the most, generate the least trash, consume the least amount of energy and attend the most EA-backed programming. The win marked Aycock’s second in the event’s three-year history.
Tonight, make your way to the Coffee House for pumpkin carving. Every Thursday night, from 7 to 10 p.m., the East Campus hangout becomes an art workshop. According to its mission statement, the Active Arts Collaborative “seeks to build community through active participation in art making and creative exchange among diverse members of the Duke community.” In reality, this translates into a room full of art supplies where everyone is welcome and free expression is encouraged.
Over the last few years, a once dismal rock music scene on Duke’s campus has begun to come into its own. Student bands regularly play at large campus events, and the introduction of campus music attractions such as the ’Dillo Concert Series and the Duke/UNC Battle of the Bands has created a fresh, rock music culture at Duke.
The 2004-2005 policy for admissions to men’s basketball games stood toward the back of the line at Wednesday night’s Duke Student Government meeting. Discussion of approval of group charters, interest in a special presentation on the DukeCard and three new resolutions drew more attention than the unanimous passage of the formerly controversial new tenting policy.
Head football coach Ted Roof and players were supposed to attend a pep rally at the Great Hall Thursday night, but when students didn't show up, the team was told not to come. Roof and the Athletic Department have launched a number of initiatives to boost attendance, but Thursday's aborted pep rally raises questions about whether they will be successful.
The proposed Black Tenting period, which is intended to deter students from returning to Krzyzewskiville too early, runs counter to the ideals of tenting. The underlying motivation of concern for student safety, however, is valid and should be addressed through other means.
If all goes according to plan, Cameron Crazies won’t be celebrating New Year’s Eve in Krzyzewskiville.
Hello Duke Basketball fanatics! As the time for official DSG approval of the new line policy approaches, I would like to share with you the proposed policy changes and solicit your feedback as I have in the recent public forums. The policy is still fluid for another 10 days, so contact me with questions or concerns.
Rental trucks, RVs, tents and more than 1,400 graduate and professional students took over several of the Blue Zone parking lots this weekend in an attempt to earn something that millions of people buy every day: a lottery ticket.
For the first time in at least seven years, Duke men’s basketball’s home matchup against Maryland might not be a tenting game. Instead, students will likely camp out to see Duke square off against Wake Forest and, as always, long-time nemesis North Carolina.
Coach K is a wimp. Duke is a bad neighbor. Sororities are elitist. iPods are a joke. Moneta is incompetent. We live in turbulent times….
On the evening of July 1, Richard Brodhead was standing in a tentless Krzyzewskiville as a small mob of Duke students chanted his name adoringly. The 19th-century literary scholar had been scrutinized months ago by a search committee. The Dean of Yale College had been selected by the Board of Trustees in December. And in a grassy plot sprinkled with beer cans, the ninth president of Duke University was confirmed by the popular acclamation of a few dozen college students.
Duke University is one of the best Universities in the nation. However, despite our standing, some Dukies like to analogize Duke to such schools as Harvard, Stanford, Princeton and Yale. These same people anticipate this time of year when the U.S. News & World Report rankings come out to see whether we have moved up or down in relation to our Ivy League peers. For the people who look solely at the numbers, they unfortunately have a self-created inferiority complex, and miss out on the overall picture. To quote something close to what Einstein once said, you learn just as much outside of the classroom as you do inside; our time here definitely thrives on that exact logic. Duke, whether as an undergraduate, graduate or professional, provides us with an outstanding overall university experience. To add a new ranking to the mix, I would like to rank us number "1" amongst the very elite and prestigious as the best all-around school. Here are the ten reasons why:
The other day I spoke with my dear mother (as I am want to do from time to time), and she posited a question at which I was taken aback. "Kevin," she said, "Are you glad you chose Duke? If you had to do it all over again, would you have chosen the same school, was it the right place?"
Another scathing diatribe on DSG in The Chronicle. I am shocked. Except no, not really. DSG-abuse in this publication flows so readily that the real shocker would be the words, "I'm unhappy with DSG because I haven't bothered to do anything with it."
Camera lifted from K-ville
It is no secret that the administration has made an effort to downplay the significance of K-ville in marketing Duke to prospective students. However, the jubilant success of the lead up to Duke's most recent victory over the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reinforced the importance of the tent city to those of us already enrolled here. Everyone involved with the operation of K-ville this season should be applauded. K-ville serves as a reminder of the potential of on-campus social events to succeed and bring students from all walks of the Duke community together.
