I enjoyed Stacy Chudwin's column in last Friday's Chronicle ("A Trini-tard in Prattland," Feb. 23). But, then, I'm an engineer. If Chudwin had thought about why engineering majors applied to (and...
As a female Duke student, I was appalled to read Shadee Malaklou's column entitled "The perfect victim" (Feb. 21). Many controversial issues have been raised in response to the events of last...
We write in response to the e-mail that Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, sent Feb. 20 to the student body regarding Saturday's lacrosse game. The e-mail's language and tone assume...

In her column "A bold brand of peace" (Feb. 20), Emily Thomey tries to undermine two of liberal society's great pillars. She complains, "Our divisions have become more of a weakness than a...
The Chronicle recently reprinted a column from The Daily Princetonian by Brandon McGinley ("Faculty should stand by its students," Feb. 16) that misrepresents and distorts what I actually wrote and...
Along with most of my departmental colleagues, I recently received a request to approve the letter written by my friend Professor E. Roy Weintraub and signed by many of the faculty in economics....
I am pleased that The Chronicle is interested in my course, "The South in Black and White," which has 350 students from Duke, NCCU, UNC and the local community. Provost Peter Lange calls the course...
Stephen Miller's suggestion that alumni withhold donations from Duke ("Alumni: withhold your support," Feb. 12) to help the school may be a great example of political cant, but it is in no way...
Admission to the Senior Game (versus Georgia Tech) on Feb. 18 will operate on a modified wristband policy. At 6 p.m. Feb. 17, 780 wristbands will be distributed to seniors only. Wristband...

Stephen Miller has now come up with the punishment to fit the crime that Duke's administration committed in dealing with this lacrosse event-cut off alumni funding ("Alumni: withhold your support,"...
We are unclear of the intention of and dispute the accuracy and message of the Feb. 13 editorial "Interdisciplinarity, but at a cost?" Both of us are members of Tim Tyson's class, "The South in...
In the recent article "Dukies Flock to 'Teach For America' Program" (Feb. 8), it was reported that Corps members' relationships with the "regular teachers at their host schools" are sometimes...
I have read the "flyer" for Monday's "Shut Up and Teach" panel discussion, with its reference to Joseph McCarthy, suggesting that dark forces are trying to silence some politically minded Duke...
Stephen Miller's recent column ("Alums: withhold your support," Feb. 12) was misguided, short-sighted and unconvincing. In urging alumni to stop donating to Duke, Miller claims to have the best...
Appeal and diversity. These two words have been the primary goals of the committee coordinating Last Day of Classes 2007. To achieve these goals, we made a conscious effort to book artists...
Shadee Malaklou's column, "Happily Ever After, Part II" (Feb. 7), provides a thoughtful yet misguided critique of the Duke woman who "desperately want[s] the dream to be real." The dream Malaklou...
After contemplating the lacrosse scandal and its impact for nearly a year, I am convinced that we could not have asked for a better leader than President Richard Brodhead. From the first days of...
