I'd first like to remind the Catholics at Duke that this is America, and not Vatican City. It is with this in mind that I defend Boston Cote's most recent column ("The road to Hell," March 3)....
The world's tiniest violin played "My Heart Bleeds For You" in my mind as I read Adam Yoffie's column ("It's been a rough week," March 6). If the Duke social scene consists solely of roaring drunk...
After reading Boston Cote's hyperbolic account on the Catholic Church ("The road to Hell," March 3), I was instantly reminded of the reason why I became Catholic. I am proud to be an active...
I truly admire Boston Cote for having the courage to tell the readership that you are "more comfortable feeling unsettled by my faith than feeling complacent with it" ("The road to Hell," March 3)....
As someone who tented from Jan. 10 to March 4, I feel it is necessary to say that this year's tenting process was run in an incompetent fashion (though by nice people). I hope in future years the...
I recently IMed a friend (and fellow member of the Class of 2005) with the link to the appalling journal-the Dukeobsrvr blog-detailing the perceived social status of various campus groups, noting...
In response to "A Look Back" (Feb. 23), I must say as an Intercommunity Council and YNTC member during the meetings he describes that I completely disagree with the criticisms raised by people in...
I am very concerned that at this University, a place that I really have come to love, it seems to take 60 people sitting in the president's office just to get due process each time an employee is...
I am outraged by the column "Calling for Sisterhood" (Feb. 23). The author says she wants solidarity among black women on Duke's campus but proceeds to verbally destroy the entire community, both...
The decision for the University to buy up student-rented off-campus houses is insulting, disrespectful and underhanded. In the Feb. 28 article "University buys off-East houses," John Burness,...
I live on Central, and, like many, I have to walk back to my apartment in the evening. I've noticed, though, that a number of people cut through the Gardens after dark. I believe this to be...
J.J. Redick's accomplishment is impressive... for a guy. Why does "The Chronicle (and every other media outlet in the country including ESPN) refuse to acknowledge that Alana Beard scored 2,687...
Laura Zweiner addressed an anonymously written blog in her column, "Duke High School" (Feb. 17). In the wake of her article, many students, greek and non-greek alike, felt inspired to read and...
Sarah Ball and Seyward Darby's justifications for revealing the identities of the Monday, Monday authors are hypocritical. One need only look a few inches to the left of their columns from the last...
Last Friday, a gathering of about 30 people at our apartment on Central Campus, predominantly members of the Duke LGBT community, was broken up by the DUPD at 11:45 p.m. We realize the cops were...
Some of you may have seen me on The Oprah Winfrey Show Thursday. The show was titled "Women Who Use Sex to Find Love," but this doesn't tell the whole story of the deeper issues associated with...
White tenting for the men's basketball match-up against UNC will begin this Saturday at 1 p.m. The registration time was moved from 3 p.m. to 1 p.m. due to a conflicting basketball game at Temple. ...
The resignation of Lawrence Summers is a sad day for academics across the world, but it is an especially sad day for Harvard, whose reputation for leadership is perhaps becoming obsolete. First,...
I am shocked and awed to see the editorial about 'An Early Reveal' (Feb. 20) of the 'Monday Monday' author(s). After flinging around the terms "wealth of information," "tacitly accepting everything...
In response to the seniors who were unable to attend the men's basketball game on Sunday, we would like to discuss several of the issues and concerns raised in Monday's letter to the editor (. Our...
