On the road against No. 17 Arizona, No. 12 Duke men's basketball didn’t let history repeat itself

(11/23/24 9:11pm)

TUCSON, Ariz.—Just 10 days passed between Duke’s first two ranked matchups. Ten days since Duke got beat in the second half of the Champion’s Classic against Kentucky, putting up 20 fewer points in the final frame than in the first. It was an offensive disaster as the team finished 10-for-34 from the floor and only knocked down one 3-pointer. That loss didn’t happen all at once; what had been a nine-point lead at halftime fell, then rose back up. The then-sixth-ranked Blue Devils didn’t trail until 2:40, but then-No. 19 Kentucky never let Duke get comfortable.

Cutting people off over politics

(11/22/24 1:00pm)

When I woke up on November 6th, I immediately checked my phone. Although I had a strong suspicion that I knew who America had elected as our president, I wanted to be sure. After I received confirmation that I was right, a small part of me was happy; my prediction was correct. However, I felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment and concern for my community. In the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture (also called the Lou), we had many conversations about what Donald Trump’s new presidency would mean for the Black community. We were all very concerned, stressed and anxious. Many of my peers conducted a mass unfollowing on social media, purging their accounts of all connections to Trump supporters, and I understand. For the sake of mental health, I believe it is completely acceptable to remove Trump supporters from your life.



The bitter brew

(11/22/24 1:00pm)

Since the 1960s, college students have operated on one predominant energy source worth relatively two to four dollars: coffee. It’s convenient, stimulating and, principally, reliable, but at what expense to the environment? Coffee is one of the worst beverages to manufacture and consume for the environment due to its repugnant ramifications on the earth and human health. Coffee production and consumption could be a substantial cause of deforestation; per research by the European Coffee Federation, “8.8 million hectares of forest land are lost worldwide,” one of the main drivers of which is the conversion of forest land into farmland. While deforestation is a small share of an enormous climate crisis, it poses the question: What does coffee actually cost?  



You can not love what you do not know: Visiting scholar brings indigenous languages into the light

Today, Spanish is the de facto national language of Mexico, but that wasn’t always the case. Before the arrival of the conquistadors in the 16th century, Mexico lacked a dominant language, instead relying on multiple language families and dozens of languages. Even today, at least 63 Indigenous languages are still widely spoken throughout Mexico, though most remain marginalized. Gabriela Badillo is trying to change that.
