ELECTION 2008

Barack Obama was the first democratic presidential candidate
elected by North Carolina since 1976. Early voting, including at
Duke's poll, contributed to his victory. Duke Democrats made
major contributions to the effort by registering students, organizing
rallies, and bringing notable figures, such as Kal Perm, to campus.
Duke College Republicans were also active but conducted most of
their events off campus.

CAMPUS LIFE

EAST CAMPUS

East Campus is home to the First-Year Experience. Housing
exclusively freshmen on East has been extremely successful
and popular with students. Although upperclassmen often
complain about their living spaces on West and Central
Campus, almost every student is nostalgic for their dorm
from freshman year.

Through collaborating on community service projects in
Durham, incoming students participating in Project Build con
structed relationships with other freshman and upperclassmen
coordinators.

PRE-ORIENTATION PROGRAMS

P-CHANGE

Incoming freshman participating in Duke's oldest pre-orientation
program spent 2 weeks getting to know each other through back-
packing in Duke Forest and Pisgah National Forest.

Duke's newest pre-orientation program challenged 18 freshmen
to impact the Durham community by designing projects to meet
the needs of underserved young adults.

MR. EAST CAMPUS

Men of the freshman class of 2012 showed
off their talents during the male beauty
pageant held in White Lecture Hall. One
male from every East Campus dorm per-
formed an act, competing to be crowned
with the title of Mr. East Campus.

HOLI

Duke Diya sponsored a celebration of Holi,
the traditional Indian festival of color, at
the East Campus Gazebo. Although the
annual event's highlight is always throw-
ing colored water and powder at friends,
it also includes outdoor games such as
kabadi, soccer, and Frisbee.

The summer reading for the class of 2012,
Dave Eggers 'What Is the What,' inspired
students to gather on East Campus and
decorate a large canvas tent with messages
of hope to end the genocide in Darfur.
The tent was taken to Washington D.C. to
raise awareness, and then sent to Eastern
Chad to provide shelter for refugees.

Students were surprised to learn that the relatively modern
dorm Few, rather than Craven or Crowell, would be renovated
during the summer and fall of 2008 in order to update the air
conditioning system. Fraternities and selective living groups
with sections in Few were given temporary residence in other
dorms on West, pushing independents to seek housing off
campus or on Central. However, juniors returning from the
fall semester abroad were happy to have the opportunity to
live in the newly opened dorm, rather than on Central, and
praised the increased number of modernized common rooms
and environmentally friendly improvements.

SPEED FRIENDING

Instead of speed dating, students partici-
pated in 3 minutes of rapid-fire question-
ing and discussion to find new friends. The
Sophomore Experience put this new twist
on an old tradition to ease the transition
from East to West.

SELECTIVE LIVING GROUPS

CENTRAL CAMPUS

Although the class of 2009 had been told that it would be
Dukes first class to have the opportunity to live on a new
Central Campus, logistical delays postponed renovations and
left students frustrated by outdated architecture, lack of facili-
ties, and inadequate security. This year, students were disap-
pointed to learn that due to the economic downturn, any
construction would be delayed until the distant future. In the
meantime, the administration proposed adding restaurants
and allowing sophomores and selective living groups to move
to Central in 2010, as part of an attempt to reduce isolation
and improve the campus culture.

PARTY CENTRAL

Students enjoyed the outdoors at Party Central, Central
Campus Council's biggest annual event. The water slide was
especially popular.

STROLL SHOW

The 2nd annual Inter-Greek Council Stroll Show
brought together members of the four Greek coun-
cils on campus to compete to create the best male and
female stroll performances.

Blue Devils United

BDU is a new and unique student group that was formed by the combination of AQUADuke and Duke
Allies, which represented the LGBT and Ally populations at Duke. Since the merge in Spring 2008, BDU
has actively participated in a variety of events on campus. 2008-2009 events included Coming Out Day
on the Plaza, Transgender Day of Remembrance, World AIDS Day, and the Annual Drag Show. This year
BDU also participated in political events like National Day of Silence, and lobbied in support of the Anti-
Bullying Bill up for vote in North Carolina.

DUKE INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS ASSOCIATION

Variations of DIRA have existed for over 20 years, but the organization revitalized itself 4 years ago. Now,
DIRA coordinates a national high school Model United Nations conference that attracts over 400 students
from across North America. The group's competitive travel team has brought back many individual honors
and delegation awards from the collegiate Model United Nations circuit. The campus affairs branch col-
laborates with other institutions and this semester worked with the Union, Human Rights Coalition, and
others to bring to campus the Burmese monks who led the Saffron Revolution. Ties are being established
with academic departments, centers, and programs like the Grand National Strategy to further find oppor-
tunities to bring global affairs to the Duke community.

SPORTS

Football

This fall proved to be a turnaround for the Duke football team, under
the direction of the new head coach David Cutcliffe. The Blue Devils
finished 1-7 in the ACC and 4-8 overall , grinding their way to a win-
ning season and a new image. Highlights of this season included a win
against James Madison University, the first home win in three years,
and a crushing victory over the University of Virginia, the first con-
ference win in four years. Another rousing memory from this season
was Duke's grueling away game against Wake Forest. The two teams
entered overtime after a very close game, but unfortunately Wake's field
goal culminated in the Blue Devils' fall to the Demon Deacons, 33-30.

Senior Michael Tauiliili was recognized as one of the top lineback-
ers in the country, with multiple All-American nods and rec-
ognition on the All-ACC First Team. Additionally, senior wide
receiver Eron Riley and junior quarterback Thaddeus Lewis
received All-ACC Second Team accolades. Junior defensive tackle
Vince Oghobaase was recognized with an honorable mention.

By the end of the season, it was clear that the "new day" that
Coach Cutcliffe promised at the beginning of the season had
been fulfilled. The team made significant improvements in a
number of statistics, including total offensive yards, rush-
ing yards, and rushing and pass defense. With multiple
wins, including one within the ACC, interest in the program
increased significantly. Attendance at Wallace Wade surpassed
30,000, a first for Duke football, four times during the season, v

Volleyball

Volleyball ended its season with its fourth con-
secutive appearance in the second round of the
NCAA Tournament, after upsetting No. 25 San
Francisco and falling to No. 9 UCLA 3-0. The
team had its fifth straight 20-victory season, with
a record of 25-9 overall and 15-5 in the ACC,
tying UNC for the best in-conference record.

All-ACC performers senior Jourdan Norman and
junior Rachael Moss both appeared on the AVCA
All-America Honorable Mention national list.
Kellie Catanach and Sophia Dunworth were both
selected for the ACC All-Freshman Team. Apart
from their All-ACC accolades, Moss, Norman, and
Catanach also grabbed All-East Region honors.
In addition, Norman smashed the school record
for most career blocks with 640. Wrapping up a
record-breaking season, head coach Jolene Nagel
saw her 200th win at Duke against UNC, while
Moss and seniors Sue Carls and Aana Wherry
appeared on the ESPN The Magazine Academic
All-District III Team. Four women were recog-
nized for their academic achievements with place-
ment on the All-ACC Academic Volleyball Team.

Music Festival. Blue Devils United sponsored the annual
Drag Show, which featured students in addition to the pro-
fessional, Erica Daniels. Performances included renditions
of Beyonce's 'Single Ladies,' Rihanna's 'Disturbia,' Britney
Spears' 'Womanizer,' and Bobby Valentino's 'Let Him Go.'
The performers strutted their stuff throughout the packed
crowd and encouraged participation.

■ Homecoming weekend got off to a great start in Page Audito-
rium as Duke's National Pan-Hellenic Council put on its annual
step show. Each group created unique performances in order
to tell their organizations history. White gloves and pies were
some of the unconventional props used by this year's competi-
tors. Kappa Alpha Psi was the winner out of the fraternities and
also received the highest overall score, making them Grand
Champions. Among the sororities, Zeta Phi Beta used their
talent to outstep their competition.

A DAY OF

ABSENCE

■ Karamu Drama Group's fall play was 'A Day of Absence'
by Douglas Turner Ward. The plot revolves around a small
Southern town in which all the African American citizens
disappear, and the White community must struggle to over-
come the consequences. To further emphasize issues of
discrimination and race, the African American actors per-
formed with their faces entirely covered by white makeup.

SWEENEY

TODD

■ Duke's Theater Studies Department and Hoof 'n Horn col-
laborated to produce a two week performance of Stephen Sond-
heim's musical, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet
Street." With director John Clums instruction and Jayme Mel-
lemas set design, the lead characters were able to portray the
story of a barber who kills his customers and bakes meat pies
with their remains. This musical performance alternated major
roles, giving many actors a chance to display their creative tal-
ents. Audience members were encouraged to dress up as their
favorite characters on the Halloween night performance.

HALLOWEEN

~ Students were disappointed that authorities restricted
access to Franklin Street this year, preventing Dukies from
participating in the annual Halloween festivities at Chapel
Hill. DUU and Campus Council responded by increasing
Halloween celebrations on campus. Pumpkin carving on
Main Quad during the day gave way to a nighttime Devil's
Eve party with costume competitions, free food, and a per-
formance of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' by Dance Slam.

AWAAZ

Awaaz, sponsored by Duke Diya, lived up to its reputation as
the largest student-run cultural show at Duke, showcasing 16
vibrant and colorful performances from guests such as Duke
Dhamaka, Speak of the Devil, DBS Raas, Defining Movement,
and Duke Chinese Dance. The MCs, brother and sister Aneesh
and Sasha Kapur, brought out the humorous side of South
Asian culture through the theme 'The Office: Dunder Mumbai.'
Senior Bhangra, the largest act in Awaaz history, fit 94 mem-
bers of the Class of 2009 onto the stage of Page Auditorium.
A dinner prior to the performance serving traditional South
Asian food and dancing lessons at the afterparty rounded out
the cultural experience.

■ The famed improvisational comedy troupe from Chicago,
The Second City, was brought to campus for the second time
by the LivEnt committee of DUU. Their hilarious routine,
which brought a mixture of satire, wit, and creativity to the
stage and included a guest performance by Duke University
Improv, kept the audience laughing throughout the entire
production.

CONCERTS

■ Dashboard Confessional's concert this spring was the big-
gest DUU had ever organized in Page Auditorium. Brad-
digan, the former lead singer of Dispatch, performed a free
concert to raise awareness about alcohol and drug problems.
Old Duke, organized by Campus Council, featured Sister
Hazel.

■ The sound of 50 melodious undergraduate and graduate
voices singing seasonal music moved from outside to inside
the chapel to begin Duke Chorale's annual Christmas con-
cert. The show was directed by Rodney A. Wynkoop, Profes-
sor of the Practice of Music and Director of Chapel Music,
and was composed of traditional American carols as well as
works by Christopher Rouse. Rouse's 'Karolju' was written
based on the large collection of Christmas carols that have
been written over centuries. Donations of non-perishable
food items were accepted at the door for charity.

The Duke Chamber Players held their November con-
cert against the backdrop of Von der Heyden Pavilion. The
group, composed of undergraduate and graduate musicians,
performed recognizable holiday music such as Pyotr Ilyich
Tchaikovsky's 'The Nutcracker Suite' and John Williams'
music from 'Home Alone.'

SUPEF MAN

■ Following the success of their fall show, Hoof n' Horn pro-
duced a winter performance of the comic book classic 'It's
a Bird, It's a Plane... It's Superman.' The show was directed
by Dan Lerman and included a superb cast. Superman was
played by senior Nate Jones, and the leading lady, Lois Lane,
was played by Chelsea Laverack. 'Superman' was a comedy
rather than a dramatic piece, and the bright sets and colorful
costumes helped to elicit lots of laughs from audience mem-
bers and crew members alike.

number of acts including Arabic singing, Dabkeh dancing,
and a Middle Eastern fashion show.

celebrated the Year of the Ox. The show featured groups of
East Asian culture and heritage, such as Duke China Dance
Troupe, while also showcasing other talented performers
such as Duke Raas and Defining Movement. Traditional and
modern acts originating from Asia were balanced with per-
formances intended to challenge the stereotypes of Asian-
Americans on campus. The Masters of Ceremonies, back by
popular demand, were Andrew Hsiao, Lawrence Chen, and
Paul Yen. All proceeds collected from the show benefited
the China Tomorrow Education Fund, a charity that builds
schools in impoverished areas of rural China.

to each other based on their compatibility as determined
through an online personality survey that they completed
in advance.

FASHIONSHOW

■ One of the highlights of the Black Student Alliance Invita-
tional weekend was the fashion show, 'Swagger Like Us: An
Ode to Black History at Duke.' Although the event was open
to all members of the Duke community and the Triangle, the
show was geared toward prospective students. Donations
were solicited at the door for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric
AIDS Foundation.

173

■ Defining Movement is one of Dukes favorite dance groups,
known for its commitment to promoting cultural unity
through dance. Although the group is in demand through-
out the year to perform at Homecoming, Awaaz, and many
other events, their most anticipated show of the year is
always their annual showcase. Their 7th annual showcase,
Crea7ion, featured dances performed and choreographed
by the 28 members of DefMo, with guest appearances by
DefMo alumni.

bAuKUbu \\f\

■ Popular for events such as Salsa on the Steps when they
teach students the basics of Latin dance in front of the chapel,
members of Duke's Premier Latin Dance Group, Sabrosura,
displayed their talents during their spring showcase, Quan-
tum of Salsa 2009. James Bond was the theme of the fun
evening of salsa, cha cha, merengue, flamenco, and bachata
performances.

175

FOODFEST

If there's one thing that unites college students of all ages,
genders, and ethnicities, it's food. International Association's
International FoodFest brought hundreds of Duke students
together on the Bryan Center Plaza, serving traditional cui-
sine native to more than 15 different cultures from all over
the world.

SPRING

TERNATIONAL

International Association's spring semester event, Spring-
ternational, filled Main Quad with venders selling imported
and local goods and stands offering cuisine from countries
around the world. Students relished the opportunity to
indulge in treats not typically available on Duke's campus,
such as polish sausages, gyros, falafel, and many other
equally enticing options. Satiated students took a break from
eating to watch performances by Duke Dhamaka and other
cultural student organizations.

177

LDOC

■ Students look forward to the last day of classes all year
long. They eagerly anticipate not only the end of tests and
homework assignments, but also the festivities of LDOC.
This year, bands included Girl Talk, Gym Class Heroes, and
Ben Folds. Student groups Mike Posner and the Brain Trust
and the Pitchforks opened for Girl Talk and Ben Folds. Other
activities included free dinner in the Great Hall and dancing
on the quad. Since LDOC was held on Earth Day this year,
the free t-shirts were made from organic cotton and efforts
were made by sponsors DUU and Campus Council to mini-
mize pollution on Main Quad.

THE LINK

Featuring a vibrant color scheme that includes
orange, magenta, and red, the Link was the hot
spot for studying this year. Located on Lower Level
1 of Perkins Library, the Link opened as part of
the Perkins Project renovation of Duke University
Libraries. It is a quiet and comfortable area where
students can study for midterms, work on home-
work, or simply relax between classes. The Link
fosters collaboration between faculty and students
with 11 group study rooms, 4 seminar rooms,
and 6 classrooms, in addition to large booths and
countless tables and chairs. Each room contains
ample study space and large white boards for jot-
ting down notes.

Blue Devils have found the Link to be a techno-
logical haven, with a walk up service desk offering
computer support and equipment loans. It has a
Mac computer lab for students who prefer using
an Apple to using a PC. The wall of 48 Samsung
televisions and the creatively shaped chairs also
contribute to the Link's futuristic setting.

DUKE ENGAGE

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

Summer 2008 was the first year of DukeEngage,
a program designed to allow Duke students to
apply what they learn in the classroom to an
intensive civic engagement experience. Funded
by the Duke Endowment and the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation, 360 students received grants
to pursue individual and group projects in the
United States and abroad.

Eight undergraduate students participated in
a pilot program in India directed by Dr. Leela
Prasad, Associate Professor of Ethics and Indian
Religions at Duke. The goal of the program was
to increase the breadth and depth of education
young students receive at three different schools
in the city of Hyderabad. Duke students worked
closely with a goverment school, a private school
for low income children, and a school for the
children of Air Force officers in order to develop
art projects, English language and creative writing
programs, and perform science demonstrations.

bugs, and to make mistakes. Those - ah, those! - I seize them... I teach them
right away the ultimate lesson of science, which is to wait and to doubt. Of

Most memborable free t-shirt incident: My
favorite was at the 2006 Carrie Shoemaker
NROTC Roadrace. Midway through the 5K
race a thunderstorm unleashed a downpour
on the Duke Golf Course and turned the
trail to mud. When I got back to my car I
had nothing to wipe the mud off with except
for the t-shirt. Even after many bleachings
the faint clay stains on it remind me of run-
ning in the rain.

Favorite flavor loco-pop: Verry Berry

Best piece of advice from a professor or fac-
ulty member? You are limited only by the
laws of physics.

If it weren't for Duke I would be not quite as
proud to be a North Carolinian.

rising every time we fall " -Nelson Mandeli

If you could bequeath something from your
4 years at Duke to anyone, what would it be?
I wish I could impart my knowledge and
passion for the Triangle music scene with
everyone in the Duke community. It's really
one of the best-kept secrets around!

Favorite flavor loco-pop: Mango Chile

What's a talent or skill that you discovered
or honed in on at college? At Duke I gained
an appreciation for visual arts and enacting
political criticism and social justice through
art education. I also found that I really enjoy
playing wind and percussion instruments
with my band for people on the streets of
Durham and Chapel Hill.

If it weren't for Duke I would be assembling
diodes in an engineering factory in Bucha-
rest, Romania.

Most memborable free t-shirt incident: I
don't usually go for free t-shirts. I'm more of
a free food guy.

Favorite flavor loco-pop: Now we're talk-
ing... Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

If you could bequeath something from your
4 years at Duke to anyone, what would it be?
I would encourage new students to seek out
and befriend others with whom they share
common interests as soon as they possibly
can. I have had so many great experiences
getting to know and work with really tal-
ented friends, and I only wish I had met
them sooner.

If it weren't for Duke I would be less sure
that I want to make music for the rest of my
life.

'The unexamined life is not worth living." -Socrate,

making team

Best piece of advice from a professor or fac-
ulty member? You could do better.

Favorite flavor loco-pop: I'm told Mexican
chocolate is to die for. I've staved off for
that reason.

If you could bequeath something from your
4 years at Duke to anyone, what would it
be? Readiness to stretch out those funny
spheres we call our comfort zones. Until the
cheap elastic snaps.

If it weren't for Duke I would be unhappy
in the vague way of someone who has no
idea what she is missing. Also, possibly
living on canned soup and animal crackers
fifteen years down the road.

What's a talent or skill that you discovered
or honed in on at college? Getting high-
quality sleep out of mini-naps during the
day. Freshman year, between classes I didn't
make the trek back to East and instead took
naps in Bostock, BioSci, the LSRC, and the
track girls' locker room.

Favorite flavor loco-pop: It's a tie between
White Chocolate Apricot and Chocolate
Fudge Brownie.

If you could bequeath something from your
4 years at Duke to anyone, what would it
be? The creative writing pieces I wrote for
my Arts in Contemporary Society FOCUS
during my first semester at Duke. Some of
them captured the mix of idealism, inno-
cence, excitement, fear, and anxiety that
exists at the start of college, and the rest are
just entertainingly bad.

If it weren't for Duke I would be completely
oblivious to college basketball.

"Whether you believe that you can or you can't, you are
usually right. Believe that you can." -Anonymous,

Chamindra Goonewardene

DUU President
Pauly Dogs Employee

Worst free t-shirt incident: The LDOC of
my sophomore year. There was no line, and
there were people crawling under the tables
and jumping over people to get a t-shirt. It
was complete and utter chaos.

Favorite flavor loco-pop: Mojito lime

If you could bequeath something from your
4 years at Duke to anyone, what would it be?
Get to know your professors as well as you
can. There are some amazing individuals
who will add a significant amount of value
to your college experience. You have just
four years, so make sure you get to know as
many of them as possible

If it weren't for Duke I would be not as strong,
because I would not have been challenged as
much by the experiences that I have gained
both in the classroom and outside the class-
room.

['It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know
ibout love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came
p me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured.

realized, somehow, through the screaming in my mind, that even in
hat shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men
Who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It doesn't sound like much

know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when it's all you've got,
'hat freedom is a universe of possibility. And the choice you make,
between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life."

Shantaram, Gregory David Roberts
