Since Duke Cable afforded us no grace period during the beginning of the second semester, I've been reduced to flipping between MSNBC and an all-Russian station.
Today is the first official day of Interfraternity Council Recruitment, commonly referred to as fraternity rush.
At times like these, I can sum up my position on this time in American history using the words of one of my favorite authors and poets, June Jordan.
Syriana. Munich. Goodnight and Good Luck. Brokeback Mountain. Fun With Dick and Jane (seriously). Notice a trend? .

In the past month, I have read two front-page Chronicle articles in which temporary students invited to stay here for a semester due to Hurricane Katrina's devastation of their schools have claimed...
After arriving in Durham this semester following a summer of debauchery, I was told by several of my friends about the latest menace to Duke's social scene.
