The fraternity responsible for throwing a party that encouraged invitees to dress like sexy Pilgrims and Indians has apologized for acting sort of racist. As an added bonus, they've reached out to the on-campus Native American student organization and refrained from calling for a round of high fives in the process. Progress? More »

For some, college learning comes in the form of classroom work, book reading, and late nights at the library. For others, it comes in the form of four years of public stupidity followed by confusion as to why people think you're acting like a dickbag. The Duke University fraternity behind a recent Pilgrims and Indians themed party seems to fall into the latter category. More »

We've seen offensive, annoying, and just plain ridiculous tips for professional attire before. But a missive from Duke's Women Law Students Association puts all these to shame with its insanely detailed, frequently obvious, sometimes batshit, and occasionally helpful recommendations. More »

We're well-versed in Karen Owen's 42-page PowerPoint thesis regarding her sexual adventures as a Duke undergrad. But perhaps you'd like to watch Duke students shrugging over the whole thing since, you know, everyone has sex? Secret's out. More »

Duke is in an uproar about a highly detailed "fuck list" that a recent female graduate made — in PowerPoint, complete with penis-size evaluations and dirty talk transcripts. We've got that document, and spoke exclusively to the now-contrite author. More »

Barack Obama's already left Berlin, but the pictures remain. The last time I personally saw the Victory Column, I was 20 and in the midst of Berlin's enormous gay pride parade. Watching young men puke in the bushes while people passed by in front of a stone column was way less impressive than seeing a 20-foot-longpaper maché penis float through the Brandenburg Gate — which makes a better backdrop for everything, really. But the Bush Administration didn't want that backdrop for Obama any more than they probably want to see large penises around Washington, so the Victory Column had to do. Does it really matter what he said? Moe and I say not really, not when we can discuss Rudy Giuliani's Lawsuit-Happy Gilmore, Matthew Yglesias's haters, Michael Savage's stupidity, power, privilege and Duke, SATs, ADHD, Dawson's Creek and James Van Der Beek. (No, I haven't had a bunch of coffee on an empty stomach, why do you ask?) Go read, it's after the jump. More »

Having trouble sleeping? It might kill you, says a new study from Duke University Medical Center. Poor sleep for women — in this study, "poor sleep" is defined as taking 30+ minutes to fall asleep or waking up frequently in the middle of the night — means a high "cardiac risk profile" researchers said. It sounds like a vicious cycle: "For women, poor sleep is strongly associated with high levels of psychological distress and greater feelings of hostility, depression and anger. They had higher levels of all the biomarkers tests — higher levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, measures of inflammation that have been associated with increased risk of heart disease and higher levels of insulin." You're depressed so you can't sleep, and not sleeping makes you sick, and that sickness probably only makes you more depressed. No wonder Ambien is so popular! [UPI] More »
