After taking care of its first two nonconference opponents, Duke will host Georgia State for the second game of the 2K Empire Classic Friday evening. The Blue Zone gives you a key player to watch from each team:
I was pleased, though saddened, to see the report of the failure of my alma mater, The Divinity School of Duke University, to address adequately the continuing discrimination within The United Methodist Church regarding people who are LGBTQ+. This discrimination, which I will call institutional bigotry, prevents people who are LGBTQ+ from being ordained in ministry in The UMC, further preventing clergy from conducting a same-sex marriage and holding same-sex marriages in UM church facilities. At this point, United Methodist Church law is discriminatory, biblically unfounded, theologically bankrupt, and separated from the ways of God.
After No. 1 Kentucky’s loss to unranked Evansville Tuesday, the only thing that stands in the way of Duke becoming the top-ranked team in college basketball is Georgia State.
On Friday, many students will send in their applications for DukeEngage, the summer volunteering program comprised of both domestic and international projects. Students will get the opportunity to teach English in China, practice environmental conservation in Thailand or create culturally responsive educational tools in Chicago. When they go, they bring with them the ideal of doing good in communities around the world.
Let’s face it, attending Duke University can be stressful, lonely, and a whole lot of gloomy adjectives personified by the frigid week we’ve been having (ignore my column’s title in this case: please bundle up).
Five months after the North Carolina government approved the sale of alcohol at state schools' sporting events, Duke seems to be moving forward with expanding its own beer and wine policy.
It doesn’t take a genius to deduce that Syracuse’s problems this season stem from a terrible offensive line, and even the legendary Dante Scarnecchia would have trouble fixing the unit.
Sophomore Catherine McMillan wasn’t sure if she liked playing the piano anymore. Was she truly passionate about playing the piano, or was this just something that others expected of her? Her mother was a piano teacher, and she had been playing since pre-school. But McMillan’s pieces didn’t sound the way she wanted them to, and she thought that maybe her best piano-playing days were behind her.
At Wednesday’s Duke Student Government Senate meeting, student justices gave senators an overview of the role of the DSG Judiciary.
At Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee’s meeting Wednesday, student representatives discussed food trucks and Devil’s Pizzeria.
The more exposure you have to social media, the more likely you are to be addicted. Does this mean that all the Duke students who received Apple watches can become addicted to social media? In fact, the Apple watch study may be fueling an addiction even more worrisome than we know.
Has our government failed us? It claims to uphold “the highest ideals of democratic representation,” yet cronyism abounds. It purports to “promote the welfare” of its citizens, but its legislative agenda consists of self-congratulatory vanity projects. If nothing else, this house has resolved to its own wondrous virtue. Our elected representatives’ failure to live up to their stated ambitions comes at a great cost: their own legitimacy. Constituents wonder “what… [their representatives] even do” and whether legislators simply seek some “fluff to add to their resumes.” Duke’s foremost deliberative body, Duke Student Government (DSG), faces a crisis of confidence.
No. 2 Duke is coming off its first game of the season in which it broke the century scoring mark. The Blue Devils seek to continue their dominance against Georgia State Friday night. A win might vault them to the top of the basketball food chain. The Blue Zone looks at three keys for Duke to win its fourth straight game:
If Duke is to reach its potential in the 2019-2020 season, improving outside the friendly confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium is key.

In 1999, the state of North Carolina incarcerated Lyle May in Raleigh’s Central Prison, placing him on death row. North Carolina has not executed anyone since 2006, so while he probably won’t be subject to the form of state-sanctioned murder known as the death penalty (though as long as execution exists, his fate is uncertain), he will almost certainly never leave prison. In 2004, despite the criminal-legal system’s attempts to completely sever Lyle from society, he began correspondence courses with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Adams State University, and Ohio University. These courses allowed him to earn college credit, an associate’s degree, and progress toward a bachelor’s degree from a distance, and his education blossomed into public writings for his own blog and outlets like The Marshall Project and Scalawag.
As controversy surrounds the United Methodist Church’s stance on LGBTQ+ rights, some students argue that Duke Divinity School has struggled to support its own LGBTQ+ students.
After a convincing 105-54 win over Central Arkansas Tuesday night, the Blue Zone gives you some key takeaways from the Blue Devils' third victory:
Duke's chance at a bowl game is at the brink of extinction.
Some franchises are better, higher-quality and far more entertaining than others. The franchises below, however, are those that are outpaced at every turn. Simply put, they deserve to die, once and for all.
