While it may be early to start projecting next season's top 25 given that the deadline to declare for the NBA draft is still weeks away, Duke fans probably couldn't be more anxious to put this past...
With the year starting to wind down, and my days left at Duke numbered, I have a confession to make: I hate the phrase "simple faith."
For those of you who are living under rocks (or in a lab/the library) and aren't aware, last week was graduate student appreciation week.
Any positive comments I receive about my columns are delivered deftly in private. It often feels like prostitution. And the vitriolic comments that do reach the editor are probably deemed...
Sometimes, amid the moaning and the hand-wringing and the protesting and the rallying, someone has to be the voice of reason.
I was recently given a powerful reminder of the importance of honor in the form of a foam cow. Gazing upon its white body with black spots, on which the words "got honor?" had been branded, I was...
The white tents are nearly pitched and the West Campus grass beneath them is already dead. That can only mean one thing-Alumni Reunion Weekend 2007 is nigh!
Getting that fat envelope in the mail from Duke Admissions two years ago came as more of a surprise to me than I imagine it would for most students. First, the letter wasn't addressed to me.
As you may have heard, the University, under pressure from the Medical Center, may stop selling cigarettes on campus next year.

The academic world has a way with words; or rather, it has a way of grinding up once-meaningful words into a fine paste of incomprehensible terminology. There are all sorts of "college words"...
Our University's interest in minority and women students and faculty is to be commended. There is much we can do to develop a campus culture in which the historic exclusions and biases of race,...
I can't possibly be the only one wishing Spring Break was right around the corner... again. Two weeks ago, whether it was at home, a tropical island or Anchorage (unless you. actually live in...
Western Europe is wasting away. Sclerotic economies are unable to offer opportunities to an often restless populace while a serious crisis of identity has produced some disquieting results.
Let's talk about tuberculosis. The first effective therapy for TB, streptomycin, was developed in 1944. Today, TB is a preventable and curable disease, and yet the World Health Organization...
Last spring, I remember calling my dad, who always has loved golf, to tell him I would be covering the men's golf beat.
