What follows is part one of my two-part political series. Since it is election season and every channel is covering politics, I figured that I should do a “political column.” But before you stop reading because you think I am like every other columnist at The Chronicle—a raging liberal or conservative who thinks I’m smarter than you—I’d like you just to bear with me. I’m not talking about governmental politics; I’m talking about classroom politics, about “the authoritative allocation of power” (Feaver, Sept. 9, 2004) in the classroom.
In front of a record crowd at Koskinen Stadium Sunday night, Danny Kramer slid a ball between the North Carolina and the post with less than 90 seconds remaining to lift Duke to a 3-2 victory.
The football team just couldn’t hang on.
Psst… DUPD, I have a little secret that I think you should know. I know this might come as a bit of a shock, but college students, well, we drink. And we party. Sometimes, we do both. Yes, it is true and I’m sorry to be the one to break the news, but I feel like you should know.
With the nation’s sixth-hardest schedule, N.C. State will undoubtedly have the opportunity to prove itself against some of the strongest teams in the nation. This will not be easy, however, after losing Philip Rivers, one of the most impressive quarterbacks in ACC history and Jerricho Cotchery, the Wolfpack’s leading receiver last season.
Fresh off a 10-0 rout of Emory & Henry Wednesday night, the men’s soccer team knows they can score. And although the competition will stiffen slightly, the Blue Devils (1-0) expect to cruise over a pair of opponents in the adidas Wolfpack Classic.
When I came to Duke last August, I didn’t know exactly what to expect, and I was nervous when the time actually came. After spending four years in high school, I wasn’t really in the mood to make new friends, socialize and worst of all, pretend to care. Orientation was an awkward time, to say the least. And if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t. Alas, I was ready to leave high school, and I was ready to be an adult. Little did I know, I was entering a world that may be bigger than high school, but it has all the same characters. Welcome to Duke High.
Wednesday night�s soccer game men�s soccer game was Duke� season opener, but it sure seemed like another exhibition. The Blue Devils rolled over the Emory & Henry 10-0, dominating possession throughout the game. Duke poured it on late with six goals in the final 23 minutes.
Before a large crowd Friday night, the men’s soccer team played its final exhibition match against the 18th-ranked Connecticut Huskies.

I received a seemingly innocuous e-mail a couple of years ago, its subject bearing a rather enticing exclamation: "SOMEBODY HAS A CRUSH ON YOU!" My initial thought was that it was some sort of bait that would reveal, once opened, how I could increase the intensity of my sex life by taking an herbal supplement. But the message was not sent from some generic address; it was from crushlink.com. I opened the message to find that, indeed, somebody had a crush on me. The e-mail included a link to a website advertising that you can anonymously submit the e-mail addresses of the people you like--all 20 of them. The cyber-cupid, in turn, will send your crushes an e-mail, much like the one I received, and your crush sends the site the e-mail addresses of his crushes. If they match, then--gee whiz!--you have yourself a love connection.
I don't think it's technically one of the signs of the apocalypse, but I was strolling through the supermarket when I saw low-carb pasta. Pasta, what runners are supposed to eat before a big race to give them the energy they need to perform at their peak, has been robbed of its function--carbohydrates. What's next?
