Dr. Javier Wallace teaches the untold narratives of race and Duke men's basketball

(10/30/24 11:03pm)

Every Monday and Wednesday morning, 28 Duke students filter into a classroom on East Campus. Their professor, Dr. Javier Wallace, says hello to each one. He asks about their weekends, their semesters, their lives. Their upcoming trips and their job interviews.

Scouting the opponent: Miami's Cam Ward poses tall challenge for Duke defense

(10/30/24 4:06pm)

Last Saturday’s performance at Wallace Wade Stadium against the No. 22 ranked SMU Mustangs was an excruciating watch for Blue Devil fans. A win was in the winds, but unfortunately Duke's offense came up short. Coming off a heartbreaking loss, the Blue Devils will next face No. 5 Miami.

Finding the right answer was never the point

(11/01/24 12:00pm)

Throughout my time at Duke, there have been a few conversations that I found myself repeatedly having with my peers that go along the lines of “nature vs. nurture”, “is your phone an intrinsic part of your mind” and other pretentious conversations that are like puzzles and toys to play with in a conversation. I noticed that there are two types of approaches people take towards these conversations: one, attempt to create a sound argument to answer the literal question, or two, blurt out their gut answer and explore what made them think that way, attempting to formulate an argument as they go. The first approach often involves discussions about semantics of words in the question and a lot of theoreticals — definitely intellectually stimulating. The second approach often comes with multiple tangents that uncover my peers' lores that support their gut feeling — it feels much more lax and exploratory.


Duke students don’t care about art

(10/30/24 12:00pm)

On a daily basis, we consume infinitely more art than we can even imagine producing in a lifetime. But how intensively do we engage with this art? How much does the average Duke student care about art?
