Duke makes it rain

In its never ending quest to look after you, the student body, the Editorial Board—despite your habitual ungratefulness—has once again risked life and limb to bring you an internal memo straight from the Allen Building.

Dick Bro,

Here are the incentives we’re offering Duke Forward donors. Probably best to keep a tight, heavy lid on this stuff outside of the right circles. Don’t let that pesky but oh-so-assiduous and good-looking Editorial Board get a hold of it.

Thanks for your campaign contribution,

T3

$100 level: Endowed janitorship.

$50,000 level: Keep your old frat from getting kicked off campus. Because everyone deserves a fifth chance.
