Supporters and critics of the 40 Percent Plan came together Thursday night to debate the amendment, which will be on the Duke Student Government election ballot Tuesday, March 4. On the affirmative were the plan's architects seniors Daniel Strunk and Ajeet Hansra. On the negative were DSG President Stefani Jones, a senior, and Student Organization Finance Committee Chair Joyce Lau, a junior. Senior Scott Briggs, editorial pages editor for The Chronicle, moderated. For those who couldn't make it, The Chronicle has hashed out some of the main disputes that came up in the "Great Debate."
Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is not for another 70 or so days—and yes, we’re counting. Fortunately, we do not have to wait until April for documentary, as Full Frame’s annual Winter Series begins Thursday.
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>James Vincent McMorrow has endured heartbreak since the 2010 release of his first album. That album, “Early in the Morning,” wove McMorrow’s voice between drums and tambourines and presented a talented artist whose sound seemed similar to many others'. In his second album, “Post Tropical,” McMorrow becomes more specialized, and tells an honest and mesmerizing story of loss through his music.
"This project specifically aims to bring Duke students and faculty and the local community together through the art of mural painting, to highlight the contributions and importance of Latinos in our community, and to produce a piece of highly visible public art that can be enjoyed by all," said Jenny Snead Williams, executive director of Duke's program in Latino/a Studies in the Global South.
Almost a year after The Divinity Refectory replaced the Refectory Café in the Divinity School, the Refectory Café's owner has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit, citing customer confusion over the eateries' similar names.
As a piece of theater, "Cock" employs a rather minimalist approach. Out of the four characters, only one character has a full name, John, while the male love interest, his father and the female love interest are called M, F and W, respectively. There are no props, no costume changes and only one noise beyond the actors' voices. A gong punctuates time and interaction, propping up the ‘cock fight’ motif that serves as the inspiration for the play’s promotional materials as well and provides the structure to the play. Along the same lines, the play is performed in the round, an ideal setup for John and M to throw punches within the constraints of the audience ring.
Market Street has the obligatory high-quality Wi-Fi and power outlets to allow for successful studying, but it goes above and beyond with its variety of high-quality caffeinated beverages. Its offerings range from the Frosty Caramella—Market Street’s version of a Starbucks Frappuccino—to an always-changing array of flavored coffees from the Triangle’s own Red Rooster Coffee Company.
The film’s casting is impressive, particularly in the case of Geena Davis as Katherine Huling. Huling, a very minor character, is the executive producer of The Amazon Games, the 'quadrilogy' with a feminist twang that sparks a voiceover battle between Carol (played by Lake Bell), her father (Fred Melamed as Sam Soto) and up-and-comer Gustav Warner (Ken Marino). Huling chooses Carol’s voice for The Amazon Games’s trailer but is quick to tell Carol that she got the role because of her gender, not her talent. It is so perfectly tongue-in-cheek to cast Davis, well-known for supporting women in conventionally male roles (I’m still reeling from the cancellation of 'Commander-in-Chief" seven years ago).
The Robertson bus will not be the only thing connecting Duke University’s Class of 2015 with their counterparts at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Freshman at both schools will also be assured a common literary experience: reading the same book over the summer.
“Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” starring Forest Whitaker in the title role, tells a story of race in America and culminates with (spoiler!) the election of Barack Obama in 2008. Through the experiences of one man and his family, “The Butler” provides a quality, albeit rushed, two-hour history refresher about how the status of African Americans in American society has changed.
You’ll likely hear senior Jacob Tobia before seeing him. The feminine click of high heels precedes the unexpected sight of a tall, often brightly clad man with a toothy grin and a burst of curly hair.
