Today will mark the thirtieth column I have written for The Chronicle.
I received a lot of hate during The 40% Plan campaign—in The Chronicle, the Weedicle, on Facebook, and in person. I didn’t enjoy it, but to be clear, I can’t complain about it.
Every year at Duke, there seems to be at least one or two pieces of writing, in The Chronicle or other publications, woefully lamenting the lack of a dating culture on our campus.
A common and misleading argument made by members of the Duke Student Government Executive Board against The 40 Percent Plan is that it will harm small groups.
As a Duke student, each year you pay over $116 to the Duke Student Government in student activities fees.
I spent my freshman summer in Mound Bayou, Miss. working for a local outreach organization called St. Gabriel’s Mercy Center.
Last year, you spent approximately $33.57 to fund The Chanticleer, and you probably didn’t even know it.
Every pre-med student at Duke should watch the documentary “A Lion in the House.”
For the last year and a half, I have collected adages whenever they popped into my head.
Last year, I wrote a column extolling the virtues of being a member of a minority political viewpoint on campus.
