Funny thing is, editors rarely get the chance to write. Over the course of the past 12 months, I think I scraped together a grand total of about 5 bylines and perhaps a couple of columns and...
For two days last June, I wrestled with this question. As part of a pre-draft series Redick was gracious enough to do with The Chronicle, the future NBA Lottery pick had suggested that we meet by...
Each is unique in its own way. Some are big and laminated, while others are small and flimsy. Some have elaborate designs that include action photos, while others are simply monotone yellow.
People occasionally tap me on the shoulder to let me know my roommate is brilliant and beautiful. Despite this, Cindy* and I get along marvelously well. And with all due respect to my professors,...
I love Last Day of Classes. I realize that this is neither a thrilling opening line nor a particularly unique perspective. I mean, let's be honest: Who at Duke doesn't love a day devoted to...
It being the last day of classes and all, I doubt there is a better time to admit it: I think sex and alcohol are two of the very best things in life. Seriously.

Last week, both Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann announced they will not return to Duke next year. Given the grace and dignity they have displayed throughout their 13-month ordeal, I am saddened...

You do not have to choose between "saving the world" and "selling out." Each of us has important decisions to make as we prepare to leave Duke-whether for a summer or for the rest of our lives-and...
Basically, here's what I'm saying: Coach K has gotten too big. He's too important. Too good at what he does. It's not good for him, it's not good for the University and it's not good for college...
For the last two years it has been my honor to write for our campus paper. From the beginning, this column, along with my political activism, has made me a controversial figure. As a deeply...
Four years is not enough time to experience everything Duke has to offer. With only 20 days before graduation, I started thinking about what I may have missed out on.
I never thought it would be so hard to write my senior column. I figured I'd have so much to say, so much wisdom to impart, so many stories to tell and so many experiences to share.
Online Exclusive: All of the senior columns this week are going to provide treatise upon treatise on how to make the most of your Duke career. We have no advice, but suffice it to say that...
Online Exclusive: I'm on the Duke Students for the Protection of Animals mailing list. Yes, I know. I just thought I'd say it upfront. Last week I received an e-mail from one of its members...
If I can help it, I never tell people my major. Even though I do write for The Chronicle, my major isn't English-the only major prone to the unique phenomenon in which the majority of the people...
Online Exclusive: It is right about now that high school seniors across America are finally deciding where to go to college. They are done with applications, asking for recommendations, and...
