From the depths of the Blue Zone, the first echoes of bass creep up the hill, flying on the back of Frisbees and footballs and scattered wisps of smoke. As the cars start to thin out, a caravan of RVs appears on the horizon. Next, the grills and Beirut tables come into view. Then, finally, there are the students--1,250 in all, hailing from the Fuqua School of Business, the Nicholas School of the Environment, the law school, the medical school, the divinity school and the graduate school. As the sun sets on summer, basketball season has come at last to Duke.

Today, we live in a world very much against the stereotype. It has become politically incorrect to assume anything about any group of people without incurring the wrath of the far left, the far right, Hollywood and Jesse Jackson. There is one group, however, that remains a viable target for any and all name-calling. This group has had its image dragged through the mud, been blamed for destruction of property and suffered the indignation of slanderous comments regarding its general lack of intellect, manners and sobriety. Yes, the frat boy has been battered around by public opinion and has few who are willing to stand in his corner and fight these appalling accusations... with a straight face at least.

Duke has produced yet another bumper crop of graduates. Congratulations to you. The first order of business should be a round of applause for the families, faculty and friends who helped you reach this milestone.

After a year in which students tenting for basketball games faced unusually harsh conditions, participants in a town hall meeting Tuesday night reviewed possible changes to improve the Krzyzewskiville tenting season--and they gained the support of men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, who made a surprise appearance.

In the swan song of another rocky and controversial year for Duke Student Government, the Legislature Wednesday night overrode a presidential veto, postponed a resolution until December, heard a presidential report, approved the charter of a new club and narrowly slid by a quorum call that, if it failed, would have resulted in an emergency meeting Saturday.

Tonight at 9 p.m., the Duke Student Government Head Line Monitors for this year and next, Jeremy Morgan and myself, respectively, will host the 2003 Krzyzewskiville town hall meeting in the Hideaway. The focus of this event is to have a forum where students can come and voice their concerns on the present state of Krzyzewskiville and offer suggestions for what may be seen in K-ville next year.

Behind the scenes of a recent discussion to shorten the tenting period in Krzyzewskiville may be a tacit administrative disapproval of the practice - K-ville and athletics in general have become subtle flashpoints in the gradual, ongoing push to make the undergraduate experience more intellectual.

With Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan expected to hold a town meeting in April to discuss changes to the tenting policy, many residents of Krzyzewskiville are agreeing that next year's policy could stand for some improvement.

Head Line Monitor Jeremy Morgan and Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta have been considering changes to tenting in Krzyzewskiville. However, changes to the tenting process are unnecessary and the problems that arose this year are largely the result of the basketball schedule, not inherent problems with K-ville.

Tenting for basketball games in Krzyzewskiville may span less time in the future, under several options that administrators and some student leaders are considering.

As I walked to the gym two weeks ago I was shocked by the condition of Krzyzewskiville. I know what you're thinking: Jen at the gym? That's as frequent an occurrence as a solar eclipse. But I digress. As I made my way up to the gym I gaped at the cemetery-like atmosphere of the famous fan site. Tents were left in tatters, broken down on the lawns. Pieces of chairs and other furniture were left scattered in pieces. Tarps were strewn about. It looked like nuclear fallout in the tent city, and as I stood taking in the grim view, it became blatantly clear: Duke's spirit is dying.

Duke basketball is famous for many things, but perhaps what elevates the program from the rest of the country's college teams is its fans, the Cameron Crazies. Over the last several decades, the Crazies have become a force in their own right, converting the lawn in front of Wilson Recreation Center into their own tent city--christened Krzyzewskiville after their beloved head coach, transforming Cameron Indoor Stadium into a fearsome place for opponents to play, and endearing the media with their dedication and creativity.

When I kick it with Dr. Emmitt Brown, who in 1985 perfected a time machine, we go out cruising in his DeLorean Friday nights, blasting Huey Lewis and the News. Sometimes we hit 88 miles per hour, thrusting us into the middle of Durham sometime in the future. Dressed in a puffy 80s vest, Sy-(Snootles)--and-the-Rambli(Root-Beer)-Gnome collects some Chronicles from these future years, and this weekend we stumbled upon an interesting future trend here at Duke. Apparently, the Second Annual Allen Building Lock-In on Feb. 1 began a misguided trend of revitalizing the Allen Building Takeover concept, though for somewhat less worthwhile purposes. Just so THEODORE HUXTABLE'S PROTEGE could help quell this trend, I have enclosed four different Chronicle articles from the next decade describing the Worst Ever Future Allen Building Takeovers.

The win inside fired the Blue Devils' confidence, and the students outside fired up the benches.
