What Shooters taught me

Graduating from high school, I was uniquely average by Duke standards, juggling academics, varsity sports, service organizations and the school newspaper.
A few weeks ago, I found myself embattled in a heated debate with a fellow Duke student about the merits of greek life on college campuses.
“You go to Duke!? That’s awesome!! Do you go to a lot of basketball games? Have you ever met Coach K?!”
The Chronicle will be running endorsement letters for the 2014 Young Trustee election beginning Monday, Feb. 3 and ending Wednesday, Feb. 5.
Members of the Duke community, I have a confession to make: I am a future consultant.
Columnists, myself certainly included, tend to do a lot of complaining.
Today, my roommate, who is currently working on his honors thesis in public policy studies, recounted to me a story from an interview he conducted with an unnamed state representative.
Last night, as I was getting ready to leave The Chronicle’s office in 301 Flowers and go home, I remembered that my car was not on campus.
I believe that transparency requires open dialogue, whether we’re talking about President Brodhead or the members of this very newspaper.
The University’s recent crack-down on hazing has been the forbidden fruit of conversations around campus this semester.
