On an early morning in what is believed to be the years 30-40 of the Common Era, Jesus Christ arrived to teach his disciples on a mountainous ridge that overlooked the city of Jerusalem, called the Mount of Olives. The place is named for the silvery green olive groves that once covered its slopes and is said to be the location where Jesus Christ would eventually ascend to Heaven. The Bible says that Jesus’s teachings were interrupted by a group of people who brought forward a woman who was caught in the act of prostitution. The group said "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" The group asked for the permission of Jesus to throw stones at the lady until she died as a form of punishment.

If I were a director with some absurdist quality to my work (à la Charlie Kaufman) and I were to create some satirical depiction of Duke admissions, I’d film them drawing a map of the U.S.. The camera would pan in to show that they’ve penciled the entire country as a series of key cities and towns: New York, L.A., Westchester, the entire state of New Jersey … I think New England, my home region, would be represented by a few elite boarding schools that funnel students to Duke, and maybe also Greenwich, Connecticut. (Although anyone up there will tell you that’s not really New England; they’re Yankees fans.)

Duke fencing entered last season with a string of question marks hanging over its head. After over a decade of top-10 finishes, the program was passed to the hands of new head coach Omar Elgeziry. In combination with a relatively younger roster, there was no guarantee that the team would be able to adjust to the coaching changes and deliver championship-caliber results so quickly. One year later though, the Blue Devils are kicking off their 2024-25 season with a sense of sureness in their talent and tenacity that bodes well for a successful postseason run.

Picture this: A conservative voice in North Carolina politics, John Hood, delivers a speech at Duke’s Sanford School. The topic? "American Conservatism 101" — a wonderful opportunity for students to engage directly with traditional Republican thought that isn’t often available on campus. Yet, as Mr. Hood’s presentation echoed through the room, we could not help but wonder: Where is everyone? The surprising lack of attendance, though somewhat atypical of nominally Republican or conservative events, raises some uncomfortable questions about our campus’s commitment to intellectual diversity. Does Duke celebrate conservative or Republican voices? And are conservative or Republican voices actually welcome?
