Neither the game against No. 19 Penn State or unranked Northwestern was a big win for the Duke field hockey team. The Blue Devils handled both squads, 4-1 and 5-1, respectively. If Duke had not come out on top of either squad, however, it would have been a big loss, head coach Beth Bozman said.
Sultry 1920s-era lyrics stream through the modern speaker system, filling the room with enough sexual innuendos to make 14 college students laugh nervously and glance down at the seminar table. Seated between two of these students, Thomas Ferraro looks around the room through his wide, round, gold-rimmed glasses, his scholarly beard framing an amused smirk.
After two rounds that lasted about 10 hours, an exhausted Duke men’s golf team leads the 14-team field at the annual Duke Golf Classic. Junior Ryan Blaum and freshman Michael Quagliano paced the No. 28 Blue Devils Sunday with strong surges late.
Whitney Evans, Trinity ‘04, knows how to keep her priorities straight. Juggling weeks of hectic presidential campaign preparations, she can be found schmoozing at Republican fundraisers and handling party donations.

Often a team is defined by its quarterback. For instance, the Connecticut Huskies—the team which beat Duke last week—have Dan Orlovsky, an All-American quarterback who controls the team’s offense.
With only a quarter remaining in Duke's game against Connecticut, it seemed as if Duke might walk away with a rare road victory. The Huskies, however, scored 16 unanswered points and left the Blue Devils with a due or die drive. Duke responded, but after the team fought its way inside the redzone, Matt Brooks missed a 37-year field goal wide left.
Duke and Connecticut are traditional basketball powers, but the meet Saturday on Girdiorn. The Blue Devils will have to contend with potent pocket passer Dan Orlovsky, and the Duke offense will try to keep up.
A surprising aspect of Star Trek is how much of a cult following it has developed. Even more surprising is the fact that Duke professor Micahel Hardt and international scholar Antonio Negri are able to “take a lesson from Captain Kirk.” Using the captain of the Enterprise, the professors illustrate the sci-fi nature of technological war and incorporate this into Multitude, a book that thought-provokingly dissects the current state of our post-modern society.
Coach Gail Goestenkors always dreamed of playing in the Olympics. In Athens, she got her chance to live out that dream as an assistant coach on the U.S. women's team that took home gold. Goestenkors didn't forget Duke, however, drawing up plays on the plane ride home.
