THE CHRONICLE
Reynolds Price received his first job offer from Duke in his final year as a Rhodes Scholar at Merton College, Oxford. The contract—to teach freshman English—read, ‘You must understand: the appointment is for three years and will not be extended.” That was 1958. Last night, on the eve of the author’s 75th birthday, the University kicked off“AJubilee for Reynolds Price” to celebrate the 1955 Trinity College graduate andjames B. Duke Professor of English’s 50 years of teaching at Duke. lan Baucom, chairof the English department, began the night with a few lines ofYeats: “How but in custom and ceremony / Are innocence and beauty bom?” Before introducing “Clear Pictures” and “Passing It On —both documentaries focused on Price’s academic life—Baucom said the lines could describe the develop-
ment of Price’s teaching style
over a half-century. After the' films, Duke alumni joined Price’s friends and colleagues outside Reynolds Theater for a reception. Herb Lodder, also Trinity ’55 and a chaplain from Baltimore, was among those in attendance. Although he said was “not close friends” with Price in college, Lodder and his wife decided to register for the jubilee after receiving a mailing from Alumni Affairs. “I said to Fran, ‘Why don’t we come down?”’ Lodder added. “Why not honor a classmate who has done well?” Later in the evening Price returned to Reynolds Theater for a discussion with Charlie Rose, Trinity ’64, Law ’6B and the host ofPublic Broadcasting Service’s “The Charlie Rose Show.” The two first met when Rose was a college freshman, and bonded over their similar upbringings in rural eastern North Carolina.

Before Thursday’s game with N.C. State at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke seemed relaxed and confident, as Greg Paulus and DeMarcus Nelson joked around in the tunnelbefore warmups. . But by halftime, Duke’s jovial attitude had vanished. The BlueDevils had given up 46 first-half points to the Wolfpack—a season high for N.C. State’s offense. It was also the second straight contest that No. 3 Duke (18-1, 6-0 in the ACC) entered the locker room trailing by nine. “Our thing is to play hard, play smart and play together—and we were 0-for-3,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I didn’t think we were ready for a team with that sense of urgency.” In the second half, however, the Blue Devils came out with higher intensity. Over the next 11 minutes, Duke outscored N.C. State (13-7, 2-4) 33-12, more than enough to continue its dominance in the ACC with a 92-72 victory. In their six conference games this year, the Blue Devils have beaten their opponents by an average of 15.7 points per game. The most crucial time slot came at the 17-minutemark. Paulus pulled up for a 3-pointer at the elbow and swished the shot, bringing Duke within two. Gerald Henderson drew

Armed with cameras and curiosity, prospective students and their families fine op in front of Cameron Indoor Stadium and marvel at the nomadic settlements spanning the lawn. To outsiders, it may look like a segment of fraternity hazing, orworse, a far-flung attempt to get on reality TV. But to the most dedicated Cameron Cranes, tenting for the men's home basketball game against the University of NorthCarolina at Chapd Hill March 8 is a lifestyle that often takes precedence over health. “You know you are going to get sick no matter howmuch vitamin C you take,” juniorKim Marston said. “Yon don’t get as much deep normally with late tent checks, but it's not too bad."
