Students and parents who did not reserve tickets for the Duke men’s basketball exhibition game against Pfeiffer University this Saturday may not miss out on much after all.
At their meeting Tuesday night, Duke University Union members discussed a range of topics, including making basketball games more accessible and future speakers.
Cable 13, Duke’s student-run television station, will broadcast the match live, said Cable 13 co-President Merideth Bajana, a senior.
“The tip-off is at 6:30 [p.m.] and everybody should definitely watch the game wherever they are,” Bajana said.
In addition, player introductions from last Friday’s Countdown to Craziness, as well as footage of the men’s basketball team and Duke University Improv, have been recorded and uploaded on YouTube, Bajana added.
In other business:
DUU members also discussed future speakers on campus.
Christian Lander, author of the blog “Stuff White People Like,” will speak at Page Auditorium next Tuesday night.
Lander is expected to attract a large crowd, said Major Speakers Director Yi Zhang, a junior. Black comedian Elon James White will also join Lander at the event.
“We are trying to get the marketing going for Christian Lander,” Zhang said. “We will hand out surveys called ‘How white are you?’ and do a T-shirt campaign.”
DUU’s speaker committee also finalized the deal with Bo Burnham, a comedian and Internet personality, who will come to campus Dec. 13.
DUU is looking at the logistics of a large Thanksgiving dinner with students, family, administration and faculty, said Special Projects Director Christie Falco, a senior.
“We are not sure about the date or the exact details but we are working it out with the dining hall,” Falco said. “It will be an all-you-can-eat type of thing.”
