Farewell Duq: My last trip to Starbucks

Merecedes Williams | staff columnist Dec. 2, 2021 There’s no sweet aroma of baked goods or pungent smells of brewing coffee, but the Starbucks on Duquesne University’s campus draws the most exhausting line. The line represents a multitude of things. For me, my presence in the line everyday Monday through Thursday is a privilege. That line represents the courage to go back to school at … Continue reading Farewell Duq: My last trip to Starbucks

Year in review: Ad manager reflects on year like no other

Carissa Haslam | Ad Manager 04/22/2021 If you added it all up, I’ve probably spent a fairly significant amount of my time at Duquesne complaining about College Hall. Back in the days of in-person class, most of my classes took place in College Hall. Plus, I’ve attended countless meetings there and spent far too many hours in the Media Department computer labs dispersed throughout the … Continue reading Year in review: Ad manager reflects on year like no other

One last bye-line: Features Editor says farewell

Katia Faroun | Features Editor 04/22/2021 Pinned next to my computer in the newsroom is a stack of little green papers, each printed with some sort of superlative or title next to a Clipart image of a gold star with “you tried” written in Comic Sans. These papers are my Duke Awards: sometimes cute and usually sarcastic “awards” the editors give each other at the … Continue reading One last bye-line: Features Editor says farewell

News editor Addeo says adieu

Brandon Addeo | News Editor When my eighth grade teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, it gave me pause. Obviously, every young person at one point wanted to be a professional athlete or an astronaut or something else that’s fantastical. But at that moment — for the first time — I had to ask myself the very real question: … Continue reading News editor Addeo says adieu

Keep up the good work, DU

By Kaye Burnet | Editor-in-Chief When I started at The Duke, there was a generally accepted notion ever-present in the newsroom: Duquesne students don’t care about anything. School sports? They don’t care. Politics? They don’t care. While students at the University of Pittsburgh were blocking traffic to protest for a higher minimum wage, Duquesne students were…watching Netflix in bed? While students at Carnegie Mellon University … Continue reading Keep up the good work, DU

A newspaper is worth fifty thousand words

By Seth Culp-Ressler | Features Editor 51,701 words. That’s an average of about 850 words over the span of 61 total articles, profiles, features and columns. Now it’s my job to sum all that up in just under 800. I’ve been thinking about this column for a long time. I knew I’d eventually have to undertake that task of monumental compression. I knew it would … Continue reading A newspaper is worth fifty thousand words

Saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do

By Rebekah Devorak | Opinions Editor “All good writing is swimming underwater and holding your breath.” I pinned that F. Scott Fitzgerald quote onto the side of my desk that sat in a pod in the middle of the room. It was the first day of my junior year, and it was the first day – the first real day, at least – of my … Continue reading Saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do

The Most Honest 2016 Duquesne Housing Guide

Housing is always a big decision. In college, it’s possibly one of the biggest. Higher education is built on more than just going to classes — it’s about socializing, being part of a community and growing your personal self. And nothing determines the success of those efforts quite like where you live. A room is more than a place to sleep. It’s a place … Continue reading The Most Honest 2016 Duquesne Housing Guide

Whatever comes to mind: Living life on-screen

By George Flynn | Opinions Editor I’m a little delusional. In fact, I can be downright strange at times. I live my life like it is a television series. This is not a joke. I know what season I’m in and how many episodes are in each season. I know the story arcs that are involved with every single character and even who the “villains” … Continue reading Whatever comes to mind: Living life on-screen
