Best Overall
Best Place to Have a Social Meal
The Refectory
The Loop
From its famed oatmeal in the morning to servings of Indian Dal and meatball spaghetti in the afternoon, the Refectory has many offerings for vegans and meat-lovers alike. Located in the Divinity School, the Refectory is a great spot for a quick, healthy lunch date with a current flame or a group of friends. It serves up home-cooked meals just like those your mom wishes you were eating instead of cold pizza and garlic bread. The Refectory is also the place to go for the ultimate comfort meal—the eatery serves deliciously buttery grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup daily. It also offers a variety of ice cold drinks that can cure any summer fever. There are really no options to avoid at this organic, homey eatery. But if you’re watching your weight, try to stay away from the extensive collection of treats, which include blueberry cheesecake, jumbo brownies and slices of pecan pie (Warning: few have succeeded in their attempts).
Conveniently located at the end of the West Union Building, The Loop is a prime location for grabbing a bite between classes on West Campus. The selection of freshly made wraps and sandwiches ranges from bacon cheeseburgers to ahi tuna. A classic chicken caesar salad is also a must. Watch out, however, for long lines during the lunch hour and slower prep time than typical fast food. One of the most popular dining establishments on campus, The Loop is a place to see and be seen. In fact, if you run into fewer than 10 acquaintances on your trip for some warm bleu cheese chips (an absolute treat), you are probably missing an event with free food. Aside from awkward encounters with former hook-ups, the atmosphere is also perfect for chatting about your day and plans for the night with the friends you came with. So grab a bowl of thick tomato bisque and enjoy some people watching on the plaza with a delicious, hearty meal.
Can a child count on you this fall? Join the national effort to improve math education this fall by becoming a tutor in the America Counts program. Modeled after the very successful America Reads Challenge, America Counts lets volunteers and university students in the federal work-study program tutor elementary-school students in basic math.
America Counts FAQs Who can tutor? America Counts welcomes undergraduate and graduate student tutors. Volunteers tutor two hours each week. Students eligible for federal work-study tutor up to six hours each week. The rate of pay for undergraduate work-study tutors is $13.25 per hour. For graduate students, the rate is $16.25.
Where do tutors work? At one of eight Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership elementary and middle schools.
When do I tutor? America Counts tutors work with children during school, Monday through Friday.
How do I apply? Download an application from the Duke Center for Civic Engagement - Durham Programs Web site at http://civicengagement.duke.edu and submit in person by September 22.
Best Place to Dine Like an Adult
Upstairs at the Commons
Although the service is notoriously slow and a steak may occasionally appear on your plate in place of salmon, the Faculty Commons is the best way to escape from the monotony of campus dining while staying just a short walk from your dorm room. The Faculty Commons is open for lunch and dinner and certainly makes either meal a break from the normal hustle-bustle of an on-campus lifestyle. While dining among friends, faculty and staff members you can chomp on some juicy salmon with ripe asparagus and fluffy whipped potatoes discussing everything from Shooters nights to the Thoreau reading for your English class. Or, opt for a select vegetarian entree of the day and greet your favorite professor who just ordered the same. Whatever you do, make sure you have enough time and good conversation to wine and dine with friends until the food comes—hopefully to the correct table. But a bite into your food may just make you forget the wait.
Why be a math tutor? • Students need solid math skills in the information age. • Low income students who take algebra and geometry attend college at three times the rate of those who do not. • Math teaches students ways of thinking that apply in every workplace. • Math tutors are great role models. • Local schools need math tutors. • It’s fun!

Best Place for Your Sweet Tooth
Best Late-Night Study Run
Located at the entrance to Perkins Library, the Von Der Heyden Pavillion is the perfect place to satisfy your craving for a sweet snack. Whether you need a boost of caffeine before a late night of studying or a light snack in between classes, Von Der Heyden offers a variety of delectable treats to keep you going throughout the day. Many of the sweets are shipped from Mad Hatter’s daily, including homemade chocolate chip, heath bar and oatmeal raisin cookies. Be sure to check out the sumptuous cakes too which can be ordered by the slice or taken home for a birthday surprise. And for Valentine’s Day, this eatery offers a special menu with a molten chocolate cake which is sure to mend any broken hearts. Von Der Heyden also offers a cozy environment which is perfect for meeting a professor or planning a group project. Unlike Perkins Library, talking is allowed here, so don’t be embarrassed to savor your desserts out loud.
This 24-hour late-night staple will help put back all the calories you burned from a hard night of cramming—and then some. While some opt for a bucket of chicken nuggets, others prefer a soft-serve vanilla cone that is sure to cure any sweet craving. Either way, you are sure to greet one of your Econ classmates doing the same. With so few eateries on campus open in the wee hours of the morning, starving study buddies may make a late McFlurry run. McDonald’s also offers a few healthy options include apple slices and skim milk—which, if you are brave enough to order—can save you the stomach ache the morning after. Although ordering a Big Mac at 3 a.m. is no one’s proudest moment, it will provide some much-needed satisfaction for those study break hunger pains. We may hate to admit it, but some days you just need some greasy, obnoxiously salty french fries.

Best Place to Meet a Prattie
Twinnie’s
Located at the crossroads between Trinity and Pratt, Twinnie’s brings the best of both worlds together. English and Biomedical Engineering majors may not share the same academic passions, but they both share a hankering for fresh tuna salad wraps and Starbucks coffee. As the only campus eatery that serves Starbucks, be sure to arrive here before the lunchtime crunch, or be prepared to wait in a long line. So for a mid-day trip before science class or a meeting with your engineering professor, Twinnie’s is the perfect atmosphere to mitigate the stress induced by a tough exam. Whether you need to get your hands on that first cup of java or simply need to
Best Place to Eat on the Run
Alpine Bagels Sure, the winding line during brunch hours resembles a queue for a Disney ride. But for many students, the staple morning bagel is well worth the wait. For just a small bit of dough—pun intended—you get a full, portable breakfast, lunch or snack that will keep you full for the walks across campus. In the morning, customers stand in line for their banana walnut bagel with honey raisin cream cheese or a Rise-n-Shine, the classic bagel with an egg combo. Others head toward the front of the West Union Building to get their froyo fix. In addition to bagels and lunch meat sandwiches, Alpine Bagels serves up its everpopular light treat in a rotating selection of
flavors and with an array of toppings. This campus eatery also offers several healthy wraps including the famous Presidential Pardon—with sliced turkey, roasted peppers and a special tangy sauce. For those with big appetites, opt for the Butch’s “Mile High” Club which features turkey, bacon, lettuce and crunchy veggies. If you’re vegetarian, be sure to check out one of the salads with blue cheese, walnuts, and dried cranberries. Although the restaurant’s signature bagels do not come close to those students from New York and New Jersey may be familiar with, they are still filling and are a satisfying alternative to a sit-down meal when you’re on the run.
grab some grub before the fifteen minute walk back to the real West Campus, Twinnie’s is a great stop to rest your feet. Don’t forget to grab a sweet treat after your meal to raise your Chemistry grade or simply have a provision to hold you over until you reach the Chapel. Those over 21 can even grab a free beer on Friday afternoons. And don’t forget to check out the daily specials at Twinnie’s like spaghetti and meatballs and tortellini pasta. The soups—like creamy tomato and chicken noodle—are sure to warm up any cold day. So if you’re in desperate need of caffeine or a good meal—and want to meet the Prattie next door—stop at Twinnie’s and be delightfully surprised.

Meet your... Duke
Senior Admins
Richard Brodhead, president Since arriving at Duke six years ago, Brodhead, the school’s highest-ranking official, has been in charge of steering the University and the Medical Center. Repeatedly urging students to take charge of their own Duke experience, Brodhead has prioritized financial aid, independent research and the undergraduate experience during his tenure. The former dean of Yale College faced some difficult situations upon his arrival in Durham, including the wooing of Coach K by the L.A. Lakers. His most challeng-
ing task has been weathering the intense scrutiny fixed on Duke in the wake of the lacrosse case, as many observers have criticized his handling of the affair. But Brodhead’s administration achieved a major goal last Fall with the completion of the $300 million Financial Aid Initiative. This year, Brodhead will focus on addressing the University’s $40 million budget deficit by encouraging alumni donations and overseeing changes in human resources.
Dan Blue, chair of the Board of Trustees Democratic state Sen. Dan Blue, Law ‘73, was elected to chair the University’s Board in May 2009, replacing former Wachovia CEO Robert Steel, Trinity, ’73. As Board chair, Blue will be responsible for overseeing the University’s governing body. The Board of Trustees meets four times a year to map out longterm goals for the University and approve major financial and policy decisions. Blue is the Board’s first black chair and also served as the first black Speaker of the N.C. House of Representatives from 1991 to 1994. He attended North Carolina Central University before earning his law degree from Duke and embarking on a long career as a state legislator. Blue has been a Board member since 1995 and he served as vice chair before ascending to the top post this summer.
Victor Dzau, DUHS CEO, chancellor of health affairs Dzau is the top boss at the Medical Center—which encompasses the Medical School, Duke Clinic and Duke Hospital—and chief executive officer of the Duke University Health System, which runs health care facilities and research centers around North Carolina. Since taking office in July 2004—at the same time as Brodhead—Dzau has worked to expand Duke’s influence in the area of global health, while also helping to improve health care in the Durham community. Dzau specializes in cardiovascular disease and is the former chair of the Department of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Tallman Trask, executive vice president Trask oversees all aspects of the University except for academics. His jurisdiction includes facilities, security, dining, construction, parking services and the school’s annual budget. He is also Duke’s treasurer. One of Trask’s challenges this year will be coordinating early retirement incentives for employees as part of an effort to cut $50 million from the budget.
Peter Lange, provost As the provost, Lange is the chief academic officer, responsible for advancing the education and research missions of the University. He works with deans and other senior officers to maintain the quality of Duke’s research, instruction, faculty, student affairs and academic infrastructure. All major academic hiring and curricular changes are conducted through his office.

A favorite destination of many Durham citizens, the waters of this river can range from peaceful to swift allowing for a wide variety of activities.

Dining in Durham The Best Place to Write a Paper
The Best Meal on Your Parent$
When you wake up on a Sunday afternoon and remember that Writing 20 paper due tomorrow, don’t bury yourself in an isolated Perkins cubicle. Instead, comfort yourself with a cookie large enough to feed the starting lineup of the Duke men’s basketball team. The decadent concoctions come in just about every mold and color you can imagine, and you can’t go wrong with a slice of anything out of the cake case. Best of all, the bakery is equipped with free wireless Internet access so you can surf the Web for pictures from last night—I mean, research. The price of these sweet treats is steep, but there’s nothing to ease the pain of impressing your professor like a grande iced coffee and a chocolate chip cookie the size of your face.
This upscale eatery would do you in for the semester if it was on food points. But when Mom and Dad are in town for Parents’ Weekend and you’re looking for the perfect venue in which to gloss over your grade in Econ 51, there’s no place like the Magnolia Grill, just off East Campus. Although the restaurant’s unadorned place settings and dim lighting are far from flashy, make no
Mad Hatter’s
Magnolia Grill
mistake: You’re a long way from the Marketplace. The Magnolia Grill was named the 11th best restaurant in the country by Gourmet magazine, and for good reason. Intimidating fare like “octopus salami” is on the menu, but have no fear: You’ll find yourself savoring every bite of exotic dishes you wouldn’t have touched with a 10-foot pole before you became a worldly college student.

Baba Ghannouj
This tempting Mediterranean bistro serves up cuisine that is part Lebanese, part Greek, and thoroughly delicious. The service is slow, but the wait is well worth it when a piping-hot platter of freshly baked pita bread and mouthwatering hummus arrives at their table for round one of many courses. Eaters with eyes bigger than their stomachs should be wary: Those in the kitchen are not timid about portions, and each dish on the menu packs a surprisingly hefty amount of food for its dollar value. Fortunately, diners will feel no need to apologize after gobbling up an indecent amount of pita bread. The chicken shawarma wraps, gyros and falafel pack a punch, but are prepared by hand, grilled rather than fried and made with only the freshest olive oil and most flavorful tahini. In other words, Baba Ghannouj’s fare is the rare pleasure that is guilt-free.

What can The Chronicle do for you? Why you should join Duke’s student-run daily newspaper As you start your Duke career, The Chronicle will be on stands and at www.dukechronicle.com every day to greet you with the latest in news, sports, opinion and entertainment. But it has even more to offer. Skills for the real world. No journalism experience? No problem. The Chronicle can teach you all you need to know about reporting and writing an article for any section. Not interested in journalism? There is more to The Chronicle than writing and editing—our staff is composed of students from almost every major on campus. Help build blogs, create mobile applications, take photos, work on multimedia projects or design layouts and graphics. Whatever your
interest or skill level, The Chronicle offers you a place to learn from your peers and build skill sets useful in any career path. Feed your curiosity. If you have questions about the University, Duke sports, Durham, Duke Medicine or the local entertainment scene, The Chronicle is the only organization on campus that allows you to ask your questions of the people in charge. Because The Chronicle is totally independent of Duke, staff members have the chance to be watchdogs for the campus and the community. Be the first to know what is happening and learn the inner workings of the place you call home for four years.
A social outlet steeped in history. No matter how you contribute to The Chronicle, you will be part of a 106-year history rich in strong journalism tradition. In July, The Princeton Review ranked The Chronicle the 9th best college newspaper in the country for the second consecutive year. With a staff of more than 100 contributors, The Chronicle is a place to connect with students from all classes and academic interests. But you will also be part of an institution that is actually older than Duke University. The Chronicle first published in 1905 when Duke was still Trinity College. The Chronicle has been publishing daily while classes are in session since 1968, and it publishes weekly during the first summer session.
