| - | I'd like to start with the first week of freshman year, | 0:45 |
| September 10th, 1980. | 0:48 | |
| Dear mom and dad. | 0:50 | |
| I'm flunking out already. | 0:52 | |
| I got a 5.5 out of 10 on my first chem quiz. | 0:54 | |
| Otherwise everything's okay. | 0:58 | |
| It's still in the nineties here. | 1:00 | |
| My roommate's nice, the room looks good. | 1:01 | |
| We walked over to North Gate mall and got posters. | 1:04 | |
| I've also fallen in love with the entire soccer team. | 1:06 | |
| The food could be better. | 1:10 | |
| Great chocolate chip cookies. | 1:11 | |
| I'm told I'll put on 10 pounds this year, great. | 1:13 | |
| October 25th, 1980. | 1:17 | |
| Dear mom and dad, midterm grades don't count. | 1:19 | |
| If I get a 4.0 every semester after this one, | 1:24 | |
| I can still graduate with honors. | 1:27 | |
| - | There are people that, that have made my life | 1:30 |
| at Duke here, something that I can feel good about | 1:34 | |
| and that I can say that I really do like Duke. | 1:36 | |
| There is a growing awareness of what's going on. | 1:39 | |
| It's still frustrating though. | 1:43 | |
| I just have this feeling that people don't wanna think | 1:45 | |
| about what's going on and it's hard to make people realize | 1:48 | |
| that it's important to do that kind of thinking. | 1:51 | |
| Interviewer | What do you think about | 1:54 |
| the situation in Granada? | 1:55 | |

| - | February 28, 1981. | 5:11 |
| Dear mom and dad, I'm Vice President of the freshmen class. | 5:14 | |
| With my first duty is to plan a drink-off. | 5:17 | |
| - | I don't like the new alcohol policy. | 5:20 |
| It's affected me because I'm still 18 | 5:23 | |
| and I've got two weeks to go before I'm 19. | 5:25 | |
| And you know, previously I'd been drinking legally, | 5:27 | |

| - | I'm a little more careful driving, but that's about it. | 5:49 |
| I think it's made the fraternities, you know, | 5:53 | |
| crack down on the parties. | 5:58 | |
| - | And because the age has been raised, | 5:59 |
| it is not gonna solve a problem, | 6:01 | |
| it's just gonna make more problems | 6:03 | |
| with carting, et cetera, and so on. | 6:04 | |
| There's no way of stopping it. | 6:06 | |

| - | I would like to believe that the alcohol policy | 6:36 |
| as it is written has worked. | 6:39 | |
| But I think to be honest with myself | 6:41 | |
| and with the university, I would have to say | 6:43 | |
| that the policy has not been as effective | 6:45 | |
| as we would have liked it to be. | 6:49 | |
| - | November 14th, 1981. | 6:51 |
| Dear mom and dad, I'll be home in a week for Turkey day. | 6:54 | |
| I'm cutting two days of classes like everyone else. | 6:57 | |
| Don't worry, I did it last year too, but I didn't tell you. | 7:01 | |

| - | I think UNC students made a big mistake when | 9:01 |
| they went over there instead of coming here, | 9:03 | |
| 'cause we know how to sing good songs like this | 9:06 | |
| and we sleep out and they don't, | 9:09 | |
| and we're fun and they're not. | 9:11 | |
| - | Lesley is obviously a pseudo school. | 9:12 |
| And we have higher SATs, so that proves my point. | 9:15 | |
| - | Kind of a lot of students are pretty smart | 9:17 |
| for a state school, I guess. | 9:19 | |
| But when it comes to a real class institution like Duke, | 9:21 | |
| I think we're gonna see the difference on the court. | 9:25 | |

| - | No we have nothing to be ashamed of, we had a great season | 11:56 |
| and you know, like you said, we did a lot of things | 11:58 | |
| that people said we couldn't do. | 12:00 | |
| And so we have to be happy about that. | 12:02 | |
| And we're disappointed now, but you know, | 12:04 | |
| we're gonna shake it off and work hard this summer | 12:07 | |
| and come back next year and do better. | 12:08 | |

| Dear mom and dad, I'm working on the video yearbook. | 12:57 | |
| It's a new project that | 13:00 | |
| the cable TV station started last year. | 13:02 | |
| I'm so glad I'm a Duke and able to experience all this. | 13:04 | |
| It's so educational, too bad I have classes to worry about. | 13:07 | |
| I like living on main quad, but it's awfully noisy. | 13:13 | |

| I eat at the Cambridge Inn, that's a little English culture. | 15:23 | |
| I sing in the chapel choir, that's all kinds of culture. | 15:27 | |
| We eat at the union on European Food Night, | 15:29 | |

| - | No president in history | 17:12 |
| has ever presented a budget and then has gone | 17:13 | |
| to the Congress right away and said, | 17:15 | |
| "What, forget it fellas, I wasn't really serious, | 17:16 | |
| that's not my budget. | 17:18 | |
| We'd like to negotiate something different." | 17:19 | |
| After all the budget is the fundamental document | 17:21 | |
| the president provides to the country. | 17:23 | |
| It's our, the fundamental statement that our country has, | 17:26 | |
| is do our priorities. | 17:29 | |
| - | I think that because of Watergate, | 17:30 |
| they now have a more clear view of the realities | 17:33 | |
| of American politics. | 17:37 | |
| Thus, for example, | 17:39 | |
| when the press attempted to whip up | 17:40 | |
| a considerable storm of outrage | 17:42 | |
| on the Carter Briefing Book incidents, | 17:44 | |
| the American people responded with a very healthy, | 17:46 | |
| well-informed yawn. | 17:49 | |
| - | I can't quite get over, still what has happened to me. | 17:51 |
| I mean, I once walked into a restaurant | 17:56 | |
| and I heard people saying, "There's Neil Simon." | 17:58 | |

| Dear mom and dad, just a quick note of thanks | 24:26 | |
| for the gift of my life. | 24:29 | |
| Four years of exposure to the greatest minds and thinkers | 24:31 | |
