Opposition Mounts To Duke Energy Natural Gas Plant Construction At Duke University

... fracking and could harm the environment and public health. It was signed by groups such as Environment North Carolina, NC WARN, the Sierra Club, N. C. Justice Center and the People’s Alliance in Durham. “Instead of aiding Duke Energy’s natural gas expansion, Duke University should further its legacy of leadership in global health and environmental action by rejecting the proposed natural gas plant in favor of energy efficiency and clean, renewable energy that will bring about a healthy, sustainable future,” the letter said. Claire Wang, a Duke sophomore who opposes the plant, said it would negatively affect not only the campus but Duke Energy ratepayers, the surrounding community and places where fracking occurs. The letter from the outside groups, she said, “really points to the significance of a natural gas investment for the broader ...

Duke Finally Wild About Harry Giles

... picked up his fourth foul. Even before Berry sat down for more than 10 minutes of the second half the Tar Heels had apparently forgotten how they pounded Duke in the first half by scoring at will inside. And that's on Roy Williams, who was said to have admitted afterward he was out-coached by Mike Krzyzewski. But the emergence of Harry on the big stage really doesn't address the question we bandied about earlier in the week, of how his freshman season might have gone if he had signed with Wake instead of Duke. Would we have seen that Harry Giles earlier, or more often, playing in his hometown under the tutelage of Danny Manning. And if so, how would that have affected the remarkable development of John Collins. It's certainly something to think about, recognizing all along that we will never know. Unless Harry shocks the world by returning to Duke for a sophomore season, he will remain little ...

(Baltimore Sun video). Don Markus Contact Reporter The Baltimore Sun. One bracketologist has Maryland in line to meet Duke in the Round of 32. The bracketologists have had them on a collision course for much of the season, with both occasionally going off track by way of winning streaks, losing streaks and simply just too much guesswork. Yet as the months have become weeks, the weeks become days and now the days turn into mere hours before the selections are announced for this year’s NCAA tournament Sunday night, the reality is this. ...

Duke And Sexual Assault

... in Jimmy Carter’s book A Call to Action, which reports 25% of coeds are sexually assaulted annually. Why would Duke have almost double the (in itself rather questionable) national average, even if measured over a longer period. Partly because Duke faculty and female agitators are attending one of the most radicalized schools in the U. S. Remember that the Duke lacrosse players’ ordeal was started by the Group of 88, composed of radical current and retired faculty and fellow travelers. To them facts and statistics are obstacles blocking the path to expose class warfare in the lacrosse case, and today female discrimination in the sexual assault matter. In typical scenarios on campuses everywhere, the victims are secondary to the ideological purpose. The lacrosse players are guilty anyway, though proven innocent. Males everywhere are guilty so who cares if their lives are ruined by made-up sexual episodes. Additionally, the figures on sexual assault are likely pulled out of the air. How far from reality the numbers actually are is anyone’s guess. The reports and estimated cases are fairly recent and ...

In Saturday’s spell-off rounds, if only one competitor spelled his or her word correctly, he or she was compelled to then spell a championship word before being deemed the winner. Failure to spell the championship word resulted in another round beginning with all the previous spellers back in the title hunt. Not among the final four were previous champion Bettie Closs or her younger sister Hanna. ...

Duke Uses Familiar Formula To Make Acc History

Duke started the season as the top-ranked team in the nation. Four months later, they finally are playing the part.
