The play was just another example that critics have used to point fingers at the Duke offensive line since before the season even began. http://dukechronicle.com/article/criticism-inspires-duke%E2%80%99s-improving-offensive-line#comments Football Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:00:00 +0000 Archith Ramkumar 150320 at http://dukechronicle.com http://dukechronicle.com/article/future-residential-assessment Involving more organizations and individuals in the evaluation of residential groups would help to combat the fact that RGAC as it exists right now is too rooted in the status quo and fails to articulate a larger vision for housing at Duke. Group assessment should not simply reshuffle the same pieces of the University’s housing puzzle, but also consider what, if any, new groups should be added and which deserve to be removed. http://dukechronicle.com/article/future-residential-assessment#comments Editorial Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:00:00 +0000 Editorial Board 150315 at http://dukechronicle.com http://dukechronicle.com/article/hackney-and-anderson-have-very-merry-communal-trekmas Will Hackney and Martin Anderson, the heads of Trekky Records, love Christmas and community.
