While I appreciate the sentiments and the efforts of those who gave their spring break in New Orleans, I was somewhat disappointed with the presentation of both pieces in the Chronicle ("True...
Muslims have been censured for their double standards in handling criticism; specifically, a Duke facebook.com group called "Campus Jihad for Allah" (a spoof of another college religious...
Allow me to explain the founding of the facebook.com group Campus Jihad for Allah. It began in K-Ville last year, where the evangelical Christian group CRU was handing out mugs decorated with its...
As our neighbor down Tobacco Road reels from the aftermath of a terrorist attack, a facebook.com group at Duke came to my attention. Perhaps you've heard of it-it's called "Campus Jihad for...
Republicans, Democrats and every Duke student in between should be thoroughly embarrassed and disgusted by Professor Diane Nelson and her follwers' behavior at David Horowitz's March 7...
I have found myself once again shaking my head in disbelief at the overwhelming student response to the decision made by the University to purchase several off-campus houses that frequently have...
Having read a great deal about student frustration over Duke's recent purchase of several houses off campus, I would like to suggest that your frustration is misdirected. As has been...
Head Line Monitor Lauren Troyer proclaimed this year's K-ville a great success in a recent Chronicle article ("Tenting season ends with mixed reviews," March 8). Earlier in the article, another...
Echoing Elliott Wolf's column, "Some friendly neighborhood stabilization" (March 7), the University's choice to further limit the student body's off-campus housing seems like the proverbial next...
We were deeply disappointed by Sarah Hosstetter's March 7 letter, which accused the UNC Robertson scholars who attended Saturday night's game of behaving in a shameful, appalling, cowardly and...
I'd first like to remind the Catholics at Duke that this is America, and not Vatican City. It is with this in mind that I defend Boston Cote's most recent column ("The road to Hell," March 3)....
Duke's most recent losses to Florida State and UNC have solidified one fact in my mind. No, it's not that the NCAA Championships are beyond our reach; I will never lose faith in my boys. In fact,...
The world's tiniest violin played "My Heart Bleeds For You" in my mind as I read Adam Yoffie's column ("It's been a rough week," March 6). If the Duke social scene consists solely of roaring drunk...
I recently IMed a friend (and fellow member of the Class of 2005) with the link to the appalling journal-the Dukeobsrvr blog-detailing the perceived social status of various campus groups, noting...
After reading Boston Cote's hyperbolic account on the Catholic Church ("The road to Hell," March 3), I was instantly reminded of the reason why I became Catholic. I am proud to be an active...
I truly admire Boston Cote for having the courage to tell the readership that you are "more comfortable feeling unsettled by my faith than feeling complacent with it" ("The road to Hell," March 3)....
As someone who tented from Jan. 10 to March 4, I feel it is necessary to say that this year's tenting process was run in an incompetent fashion (though by nice people). I hope in future years the...
In response to "A Look Back" (Feb. 23), I must say as an Intercommunity Council and YNTC member during the meetings he describes that I completely disagree with the criticisms raised by people in...
I am very concerned that at this University, a place that I really have come to love, it seems to take 60 people sitting in the president's office just to get due process each time an employee is...
I am outraged by the column "Calling for Sisterhood" (Feb. 23). The author says she wants solidarity among black women on Duke's campus but proceeds to verbally destroy the entire community, both...
