In any given Duke Student Government race, there are certain types of qualified individuals. There are outsiders who feel DSG needs reform, insiders who feel they have more experience and leaders in other groups who are ready to switch gears. Each presidential candidate this year has a comprehensive platform and an understanding of major issues on campus. Therefore, the race comes down to examining the actual people by looking at their past work, inspecting how they interact with administrators (if they do) and investigating their true intentions in running.

Amid all the good news of Duke 24 and the new Krzyzewskiville policy, you might have missed it. I almost did.
In the spring of 1975, Associated Students of Duke University presidential candidate Rick Glaser ran on the issues of increased communication, revamping the distribution of student fees and improving student services. Some called his ideas "vague."
Deliberate. Stiff. Grave.
Marching with the band off the field minutes before the kickoff of Saturday's football game, I was shocked to see nearly two sections of Wally Wade filled with-no, it couldn't be-students?!
