The future of residential assessment

By Editorial Board
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.

Given the option of voting for my old gym sock or Sarah Palin for future president and/or vice president of the United States, I’d place my bets on the gym sock. This is why it will come as a shock to all who know me that I am, for once, on the side of former governor Palin.

As we go on from college, it becomes even more difficult to pinpoint home. Can the place we live during a year-long internship be home? When we move far from our hometowns, far from Duke, does our German Willkommen mat welcome us home, or does it welcome us simply to the foreign place we live within some stark apartment building?

SMH. It’s the latest urban dictionary term, meaning “shaking my head.” And I’ve been doing it a lot lately.
