	(Beverly Hills Cop theme music)	0:13
-	It's the best school you can go to	3:14
	to get everything out of,	3:17
	in terms of partying and intellectual	3:18
	and fun people and everything.	3:22
	Just the best mix.	3:24
-	Just dealing with people and having goals	3:26
	and achieving them.	3:29
	The extracurriculars is where it's at	3:32
	for me and for a lot of my friends.	3:34
-	It's pretty good.	3:36
	This is the kind of day that makes Duke worthwhile	3:37
	' Cause just hanging out, listening to some tunes,	3:39
	toss the bee, play some golf.	3:42
	It's a good deal.	3:45
-	Everything, has everything you want.	3:47
	Everything you could ever want.	3:49
-	This is lip sync 1986	3:52
	I think you all know that.	3:54

-	I think Duke is a playground,	5:59
	and I think everyone should have an experience such as Duke	6:01
-	It's a matter of decisions.	6:05
	I can't decide where or what to do this evening.	6:06
	Probably 100 parties are occurring on campus.	6:09
	Where will I go?	6:12
	I don't know.	6:13
-	Well David what do you think of Duke University?	6:14
	Well, I had a good time here tonight	6:17
	I thought, it was fun for me	6:21
	I don't know how the crowd felt about it.	6:23
	Did you think it was a very good audience?	6:27
	Well they seem to be well mannered and well dressed	6:29
	and they laughed a little bit,	6:32
	I thought they were, I'd probably say above average	6:35
	Do you expect to come back here again soon?	6:39
	Back here again?	6:44
	Thanks a lot and good luck to all of you.	6:48
-	I do not take myself serious.	6:50
	I like being Al McGuire.	6:53
	(upbeat Broadway music)	6:55
-	Well academics at Duke I think are just outstanding.	8:01
	It's rare to have the undergraduate education	8:05
	embedded in an overall university structure	8:09
	with so many different professional schools	8:11
	and access to those professional schools for undergraduates.	8:14
-	I'm an engineering student and I wanted to come somewhere	8:17
	where I could disguise myself as an engineering student	8:20
	but really get into a lot of liberal arts	8:23
	kinds of studies and it's turned out great.	8:25
-	It's a great place to party,	8:29
	but it's a great place to study too.	8:31
	Work hard and play hard.	8:33
	I guess that's pretty standard.	8:34
-	It's academically sound,	8:36
	but it's not so pressured towards that	8:38
	that the people whose said are what's important in life.	8:41
-	(piano music)	8:44
-	I can't see all your faces,	10:01
	but I do know that you wouldn't be students	10:04
	at Duke University if you were not alert young folks.	10:05
-	Good evening ladies and gentlemen.	10:11
	I certainly appreciate the opportunity	10:13
	to address you tonight	10:16
-	And until we are able to say to the perpetrators	10:21
	of injustice and oppression anywhere and everywhere	10:25
	in the world, you have already lost.	10:28
	Ha ha, you have lost, you have lost.	10:30
	You have lost.	10:35
	How can you take on God,	10:37
	the awful thing about apartheid,	10:39
	the most blasphemous thing about it,	10:42
	is when it makes a child of God	10:44
	doubt that they are a child of God.	10:46
-	(Interviewer) What do you think of the new President?	10:52
-	Keith Brody, I think he's doing pretty good so far.	10:53
-	I think he is concerned with the students	10:56
	and it'll be interesting to see exactly what he does	10:58
-	Well, Kieth and I go way back, of course.	11:01
	He was my freshman Comp teacher when I first got to Duke	11:04
	and we used to go to The Hideaways	11:08
	which is usually Thursday nights and sometimes Friday nights	11:10
	and party together.	11:13
	Keith and I are real tight.	11:15
	I like Keith.	11:16
	Good guy.	11:17
-	Just today there were 102,000 invitations that went out	11:18
	so that every alumnus and alumnae, every faculty member,	11:22
	every student, every employee, every administrator	11:27
	and the parents of all current students	11:30
	received an invitation to this.	11:33
-	The trustees have chosen you, sir,	11:36
	to the presidency of this university.	11:38
	The trustees are confident of the wisdom of their choice.	11:41
	I now by their orders invest you with all the dignity,	11:46
	privileges and authority of the office	11:50
	and pray that almighty God may grant you wisdom,	11:53
	patience, courage, humor and strength	11:56
	to do all the things required of you.	12:01
	(applause)	12:06
-	Haley's Comet has returned to our heavens	12:08
	and I want to take it as a sign for the new hopes	12:11
	of this university.	12:13
	I do not say that this star dances for me,	12:15
	but rather for our good beginnings	12:18
	that require celebration and joy.	12:20
	And for our inexpressible hopes that require a sign.	12:23
	Thank you.	12:28
	(applause)	12:29
	(ceremonial music)	12:31
	(Miami Vice theme music)	12:58
-	Monday night, the basketball game,	14:49
	the pre-party was unbelievable.	14:50
	We got out there around 2:00 in the afternoon	14:52
	and we all bought coolers of beer.	14:56
	We got ourselves in painting with Duke	14:59
	across our chests, cameras were shooting,	15:01
	it was unbelievable.	15:03
	It's just a shame we lost.	15:04
	But probably the best party I've ever been at.	15:06
	It was really great	15:08
-	The most important thing is	15:09
	they gave us a lot of good times at Cameron Indoor stadium.	15:10
	Yeah, it can't be better.	15:14
	There's no better place to watch a basketball game.	15:16
	And there's no better team to watch.	15:18
-	It's been a year of extraordinary success	15:20
	in our athletic program,	15:22
	principally that of basketball.	15:24
	I think that also unified the campus, brought it together,	15:26
	the spirit and excitement, and it put Duke out	15:30
	in every newspaper in America	15:32
	with extraordinarily good public relations affect.	15:34

-	Ready?	19:40
	(laughing)	19:41
	(splattering)
-	It was excellent. My best pies today.	19:48
	(graduation ceremonial music)	19:59
-	No matter how different have been our fields of study,	21:21
	how different have have been our goals,	21:25
	how different our approaches,	21:27
	and no matter how different were our backgrounds,	21:29
	we stand here bound together by one unifying graduation.	21:33
	An event which marks our passage from Duke	21:38
	and at which Duke recognizes	21:41
	our successful completion together	21:43
	of those challenges we had to face.	21:46
	(laughter)	21:49
-	Now it's my duty as your commencement speaker	21:49
	to impart the final wisdom	21:52
	that you're going to get here at Duke.	21:54
	I'm here to wrap up everything	21:56
	you've ever learned from your parents,	21:58
	everything you've learned from your teachers	22:00
	and everything you've figured out all by yourselves.	22:03
	And I have to do all that before the champagne gets warm.	22:07
	(laughter)	22:10
	(cheering)
	So let me start with just three very simple words.	22:17
	Think for yourselves.	22:21
	Just let me repeat it,	22:23
	just think for yourselves	22:24
	This isn't the first time you've heard it	22:27
	but it's the best advice you'll ever get	22:29
	from me or anybody else.	22:31
	By the authority vested in me	22:33
	I confer upon you and each of you	22:35
	the ancient and honorable degree of Bachelor of Arts.	22:37
	In recognition of this major step toward	22:40
	the role of creative and enlightened citizenship.	22:43
	Congratulations.	22:46
	(cheering)	22:47
	(graduation ceremonial music)	22:54
	♪ Ooh ooh. ♪	25:03
	♪ Never can say goodbye ♪	25:08
	♪ No no no no ♪	25:11
	♪ Never can say goodbye ♪	25:14
	♪ Even though the pain and heartache ♪	25:18
	♪ Seems to follow me wherever I go ♪	25:21
	♪ Though I try and try to hide my feelings ♪	25:24
	♪ They always seem to show ♪	25:27
	♪ Then you try to say you're leaving me ♪	25:30
	♪ And I always have to say no ♪	25:33
	♪ Tell me why is it so ♪	25:36
-	Well it's real nostalgic, I guess you walk around	25:41
	and think about the last time	25:44
	you're going to be doing things	25:45
	and the last class you go to,	25:46
	the last time you eat in the C.I.	25:48
	things like that.	25:50
	But it's kind of fun too, 'cause I'm ready to move on.	25:51
-	It's a question of having to leave somewhere	25:56
	where you don't wanna leave	25:58
	and deal with stuff like plumbing	26:00
	and apartments and finding chairs to sit in,	26:02
	it's just, I mean I'm gonna miss my bench	26:05
	and I'm gonna miss my clock,	26:08
	and I'm gonna have to get a watch	26:09
	and all kinds of things like that.	26:10
	It's just very depressing	26:12
-	Duke means friends, education.	26:13
-	This is too corny.	26:17
-	I know, it is,	26:20
	How can you sum this up?	26:20
	In one sentence.	26:22
	Four years in one sentence.	26:23
	♪ Never can say goodbye ♪	26:25
	♪ No no no no ♪	26:29
	♪ Never can say goodbye ♪	26:31
	♪ Every time I think I've had enough ♪	26:35
	♪ I start heading for the door ♪	26:39
