Departments
 It's an inescapable sign of our age of instant communications: students walking to their next class or waiting for an East-West bus or checking out eating options and reaching—eagerly, reflexively—for their cell phones. |
 There is no road map to medical school—for very good reasons |
 Leftward-leaning faculty, fiscal-conservative consistency, lacrosse-case criticism |
 Twists and turns in lacrosse,
international honors for students,
the consequences of war,
a pair of new deans;
Campus Observer: giving voice to poetry;
Syllabus: SOCIOL 164 - Death and Dying |
 Charting the landscape of the modern university, cultural clashes in modern America
|
 Scrutinizing the media,
remembering Styron,
renewing trustees;
Career Corner: work, family, and the ideal balance;
Retrospective: the faculty finds housing;
mini-profiles: nurturing intelligence analysts,
purveying a gourmet-food line,
educating through soap opera |

"Our industry has zero credibility.
We have created a lifestyle of suburban living. We have trained
people to enjoy low-cost fuel without explaining how difficult
it is to get."
—John Hofmeister,
president of Shell Oil Company, during a presentation
at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences
"It's time for the scientists
to come out of their closets, out of their laboratories,
and speak responsibly about what's good science,
what's not good science."
—Peter Agre, vice chancellor for science
and technology at Duke Medical Center and a member of Scientists and Engineers
for America, on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report
"We're from Alabama, and
we love to eat. So I had to basically change my thinking
as it pertains to the foods that I wanted to eat."
—Ruben
Studdard, 2003 American Idol champ, on losing nearly
100 pounds while enrolled at the Duke Diet & Fitness
Center, on NBC's Today show |
