No ideas are off-limits for design guru
Naomi Girson | staff writer Every Thursday morning, well past midnight, Anthony Conroy and a posse of newsroom editors would take that week’s edition of The Duquesne Duke to a printer in the South Side. After the work was done, they would go back to the now closed South Shore Diner on East Carson Street… Continue reading No ideas are off-limits for design guru

Testimony to The Duke
Susan Mutoeditor-in-chief, 1962-63 Undoubtedly, my best memory of my editorship of The Duke is at once exhilarating and painful. Producing each issue gave me a feeling of great accomplishment, especially due to the fact that I had opted for a double major: one in Journalism and the other in English Literature. My journalistic skills were… Continue reading Testimony to The Duke
The Duke Moved Out: Crisis and Controversy
Spencer Thomas | editor-in-chief In the early hours of a chilly morning in February 1989, Sean McNamara’s rusty 1978 Pontiac LeMans station wagon hobbled down the roads of Western Pennsylvania. He and his passengers drove from Duquesne to Indiana, Pa., to Washington Pa., and back to campus again. There, a crowd of students and media… Continue reading The Duke Moved Out: Crisis and Controversy
April Fools! The Duke got shut down (for the first time)
Ember Duke | layout editor Wednesday nights in The Duke newsroom are always a bit rowdy, sometimes lewd jokes get thrown around, sometimes the sleep deprivation and deadline pressure turn into delusional rambling, other times, an inappropriate word will find its way into an article or horoscope, for the sole purpose of pushing advisor Paula… Continue reading April Fools! The Duke got shut down (for the first time)
Dougherty reflects on “libertine lifestyle” comment years later
Megan Trotter | news editor Nine years ago, former Duquesne Duke news editor Kaye Burnet got side tracked by a sign on her way to the gym — this led Burnet into a private faculty meeting which coincidentally placed her right at the center of what would become a nationally covered controversy. On Oct. 22,… Continue reading Dougherty reflects on “libertine lifestyle” comment years later
Editors-in-chief become editors-in-love
Rebecca Jozwiak | staff writer For many young adults, their college years are full of a series of complicated questions: what to study, where to live, who to be and for some — who they will fall in love with. For Lorraine Bernitsky and George Heidekat they found the answer to this life-changing question within… Continue reading Editors-in-chief become editors-in-love
Evolution: making a paper out of thin air
Josh Imhof | staff writer 1925-1970s Before keyboards and computers, the newsroom relied on Underwood-brand manual typewriters made in the 1920s and 1930s to crank out articles each week. Functions like deleting words and formatting performed with the click of a button today took much more time to do back then. “It was really hard… Continue reading Evolution: making a paper out of thin air
Female editors recount their successes
Kaitlyn Hughes | features editor Several women have followed the path blazed by The Duke’s first female editor-in-chief, Kathleen Burns, in 1953. Through the years, women in the newsroom have been a part of the newspaper’s groundbreaking moments. With March 5 being the centennial, The Duke asked different female editors to share stories detailing their… Continue reading Female editors recount their successes
Horoscope History
Emily Fritz | a&e editor Contrary to reader suspicion on the Duquesne Snapchat story, the horoscopes have never been AI-generated, but their randomness comes with a quirky and disjointed history over The Duke’s 100 years. Looking back through decades worth of past editions, the first recorded horoscope came from Sid Beshkin in the weekly column,… Continue reading Horoscope History
A series of decade old belated letters to the editor
Eliyahu Gasson | opinions editor One hundred years worth of issues is bound to result in at least a few bad opinion articles, especially when that paper is staffed entirely by college students who belong to an age group that is notoriously opinionated, ignorant and impulsive. Pobody is nerfect — I’m certainly not. Maybe in… Continue reading A series of decade old belated letters to the editor
Neutrality on the reporting trail and the runway
Ember Duke | layout editor In Sept. 2019, what started as typical event coverage for The Duke turned to a much bigger story, which sparked discussion of censorship and LGBTQ+ inclusivity at Duquesne and brought a swath of media attention to campus. Promotional materials for the 2018 show depicted a runway model in a leather… Continue reading Neutrality on the reporting trail and the runway
Sports section’s passion burns through a century
Michael O’Grady | sports editor “They had Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island too … all at their feet Saturday night in the town where an adjective is the least-used item of the good writer’s vocabulary,” wrote Tammy Gray on March 25, 1955. “The press-box boys just couldn’t use enough superlatives, while the loyal fans… Continue reading Sports section’s passion burns through a century
