The process by which Jeremy Morgan was recently appointed to the position of head line monitor was an embarrassment to Duke Student Government and a slap in the face to the student body.
John Mayer entertains students Friday night, many of whom were tenting in Krzyzewskiville to attend the Duke-UNC basketball game.
It has never been easier to see Duke play Carolina in Cameron Indoor Stadium! The atmosphere for the game, this Sunday at 3:30, should be electric, and all students are urged to come out and cheer on the Blue Devils.
We are reaching the end of the season--only two home games remain for the Duke men's basketball! Tenting for the Carolina game begins Thursday morning at 8 a.m. At that time, a registration location will be posted on http://dsg.duke.edu/k-ville.php and registration will occur on a first-come, first-serve basis. If your tent decides not to register at this time, you may register by e-mailing line-monitor@duke.edu with the names of your tent members. Tents may register at any time before 5 p.m. Friday, March 1. Students wishing not to tent may form a walk-up line at any time. The walk-up line will be monitored in the same manner as the one for the Maryland game--the policy can be found on the Duke Student Government website listed above.
Police respond to car break-in
First semester, freshman year can be the best and worst time of your college career. You're living on the same hall with the opposite sex for the first time, but that thrill is often offset by a freak roommate who looks at female bodybuilders on your computer when you're not around, then blaming it on you when your friends are there. When that comes up on your Internet Explorer history bar--guy or girl--your sexuality will rightfully be called into question. You learn lessons as you go along into your second semester, some fun but far more of them painful. I don't mean the kind of painful that can be cured with a band-aid or a bag of ice, but rather the kind of painful that an orgo test can inflict upon your nether reaches, one that requires at the very least both a band-aid and a bag of ice.
The arrival of winter break means that tenting is quickly approaching, and I want to clarify how tenting will work for the Maryland game. Individuals may establish tents over the winter break; however, only the first 30 tents will be allowed to register early. This registration will take place at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 8 in K-Ville. Registration for all other tents will take place at 5 p.m. on the same day. At that time, a registration location somewhere on the Duke campus will be posted on the DSG website (dsg.duke.edu/k-ville.php). Tents will be registered on a first-come, first-serve basis. A tent needs only one member present in order to register, but that member must have his DukeCard. Beginning at 11:59 p.m. Dec. 8, all tents must have at least one member present in K-Ville.
Wednesday, Duke will face Temple, the first ranked opponent to come to Cameron Indoor Stadium this season. Because the game occurs on a day when classes are in session, wristbands will be used for the first time this season. Wristbands will be distributed outside of Cameron from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., or until all 1,200 have been given out.
The home basketball season begins today with an exhibition game at 7:30 p.m. against the EA All-Stars. The first four home games of this season will all be walk-up line games. No bracelets will be distributed until the Temple game Dec. 5. Students may begin forming the walk-up line whenever they wish, and the doors to Cameron will open 90 minutes before the start of each game.
WALLACE WADE STADIUM -- Dismayed by the lack of attendance at recent football games, the Grid Pickers headed out to Wally Wade, excited about the Duke-Maryland contest Saturday. Unaware that the game was being played four hours away, these Chronicle staffers were eager for the game to start.
Although basketball season is still months away, some fans are already tenting. Graduate and professional students begin their 36-hour campout for season tickets tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Three months into my Duke career, I knew I wanted two things from the college experience: I wanted a national championship, and I wanted to be head line monitor. Although I've arrived at the desired destination, I have to laugh when I look back at the steps and missteps along the journey.
I've found myself in the following situation numerous times. A construction crew performing some roadwork has reduced the usually available three lanes of a major street to two. This has caused congestion from long lines of cars patiently wait to get out of the bottleneck. As I'm listening to the radio and wondering when the line of cars in front of me will move, I look to my left and notice an orange sign beside the road that says: "CONSTRUCTION WORK: Lane ends 500 Feet." Off to the left, the lane stretches out like a silver scarf for 500 feet... without a single car on it. There is absolutely nothing on this stretch of the road other than pavement-no cones, signs, construction crews.... And there is absolutely nothing stopping me-or the 47 cars in front of and behind me-from steering left, driving those extra 500 feet and then sneaking back into the line 25 cars ahead.
More than 1,000 students will eagerly greet him at random hours of the early morning. They will follow him around campus, trying to figure out some sort of pattern to his daily routine.
A few days ago something compelled me to make the laborious trek down into the bowels of the Bryan Center to check my mail for only the second time all year. In it was the Bulletin of Information and Regulations for the 2000-2001 academic year at Duke University. All kinds of curricular requirements, as well as the many possible types of academic and social wrongdoings and the corresponding penalties, are explained in vague detail in this little booklet that nobody actually reads until their butts are on the line.
I decided to write this column while doing lunch with a good friend. I had almost swallowed a mouthful of Southwestern salad, and then she said it: "Did you know Duke is the second-best place in the country to meet your husband?" I almost threw up.
The same wireless technology that has put the Bryan Center and Krzyzewskiville at the forefront of Duke's technological capabilities is coming to Perkins Library.
Each year the Office of Undergraduate Admissions asks students to return to their hometown high schools during breaks and tell prospective students about their experiences at Duke.
fter months of hype and anticipation, the Sony PlayStation 2 has finally arrived. And unless you've been living in a cave, you've probably heard how hard it is to find one.
DURHAM - As fall break drew to a close, it was time for the Grid Pickers to return home from their vacations to begin the great debate over who will control stories for the rest of the year.
