I know this is late, perhaps too late. Having just read an associated press article about our school, however, I just realized that the K-ville "legislation" has been finalized. I read in The Chronicle when it was introduced, but I never thought my fellow diehard Crazies would allow it to be passed. The apathy betrayed by our Duke Student Government elections has finally hit home.
I can't believe this. In the three years I've been at the University, I've come to realize that it's a school of whiners, but all of their (your) complaining to affect Duke Hoops is beyond belief.
Days into the men's basketball season but weeks before its first game, this year's tenting policy continues to undergo revisions. The latest centers around who will remove tents pitched before the start of official Krzyzewskiville registration.
Although March is far away, the madness may begin tonight with the introduction of Duke Student Government's proposed tenting policy for the 1998-1999 men's basketball season.
Although the celebration on the main quad of West Campus slated for tonight will be rescheduled due to inclement weather, the party's planners are still optimistic about giving West Campus a social boost in the upcoming weeks. A series of three parties-organized by the Campus Social Board, Duke Dining Services and several individual students-will kick off next Friday night instead.
"I once wondered just how apathetic I could get. Now, I just don't care."
Twice a week, The Chronicle editorial board meets to decide the content of the editorials that appear in this space every day. Today, as a special pre-spring break treat, we take you behind the scenes to give you a taste of the inspiring, heated clash of ideas that underlies each and every one of our carefully crafted opinions:
Following a well-received run at Krzyzewskiville, the wireless technology that allowed students to access the Internet from their tents is headed to the Bryan Center.
All hell broke loose late Saturday night on West Campus, but University of North Carolina students were nowhere in sight.
Since last year, I have grown and matured in many ways. One of those has been coming to the conclusion that I was completely wrong in my first assessment of Duke basketball. With a little bit of help from my friends, I too have been brought into the fold.
The rain that had been falling for days had finally stopped, and for the first time in nearly a week, students of the campout actually had been expected to spend the night in their tents. As the students hastily repack their belongings, the grumbling begins: "I can't believe they didn't grant a grace period," or, "I stayed out here all night and not a single tent check!" New students come to take over, and the still-weary overnighters depart, trudging through the mud back to their dormitory rooms. For them, this is not just any morning in K-ville: This is judgment day, the day to survey the sprawl of nylon that has become their home, and ask themselves: "Is it worth it?"
Krzyzewskiville is in the midst of a technological revolution: It's about to become a wireless, internet-accessible city.
Crime has crept its way into the densely populated, spirited confines of Krzyzewskiville.
I was deeply bothered by Trinity senior and Duke Student Government President Lino Marrero's comments in The Chronicle's Jan. 22 coverage of Krzyzewskiville. Marrero said that if a tent had a nearby resident in it, he or she would have been able to come back early to secure a tent number. This, however, clearly contradicts the policy set forth on the DSG web page prior to break-that is, if it is legitimate enough to still be called a policy. That web page says "if you set up your tent before the spring semester begins, you run the risk of having it taken down and confiscated by the Grounds Department." So now that this is all looking back in hindsight, this policy has been unenforced.
Regarding the "January Madness" editorial in the Jan. 22 edition of The Chronicle: Don't you students have anything else to do? I realize that I graduated in the dark ages and may be ridiculed for being hopelessly out of touch, but the continuing angst expressed in The Chronicle about the tent policy (you don't seem to camp out anymore) is really sad. Way back when I was a student, most of us rarely camped out. And when students set up tents, they actually stayed in Krzyzewskiville. All night. Until the doors opened for the game. And only the actual people camping out in the tents were in line. Pretty wacky, huh? You know what else? For almost every game, you could show up a few hours or so before the doors opened, get in line and get into the game. Of course, we had other things to do besides set up tents-we had kegs.
"Grace period until 5 p.m. tomorrow due to weather. Tents will not be checked during the Superbowl. Lunar eclipse precludes tent checks until the next new moon. Please rely upon rumors for future notices."
Inspired by The Chronicle's feature on the President's Suggestion Box, THE TOSSED SALAD MEN would like to offer our own suggestions for improving everyone's quality of life.
I am writing to respond to Yod Sawamiphakdi's Sept. 5 letter to the editor. Sawamiphakdi does not seem to understand what makes Cameron the special place it is. Cameron is not special just because it is the home of the University's basketball stadium. Rather, it has gotten its reputation because of the Cameron Crazies-and part of being a Cameron Crazy is camping out for the big games.
The Last Day of Classes celebration last semester drew herds of students, featured gallons of alcohol and left several areas of the campus ravaged. The general chaos of the campus-wide event captured the attention of a number of administrators, faculty members and students who met throughout the summer to discuss such large-scale outdoor events and to devise a strategy to ensure their overall success.
Rarely does an entire town pick up and move 50 yards to the right.
