| (music continues) | 2:38 | |
| (upbeat trumpet music) | 3:39 | |
| - | You know, people don't think that it's really | 3:48 |
| that strenuous, but it is, it gets you tired | 3:50 | |
| and big thing is, | 3:53 | |
| you have to look happy the whole time you're doing it | 3:54 | |
| sort of thing, it's part of the job. | 3:57 | |
| (upbeat trumpet music) | 3:59 | |
| The camera crowd is so much fun to cheer for. | 4:00 | |
| Even this year, the football crowd has been a lot better | 4:02 | |
| than years past and we just get a lot of support | 4:05 | |
| from the students and the crowd and that helps us. | 4:09 | |

| What a wonderful season, ACC champions, | 7:58 | |
| (crowd cheering) | 8:01 | |
| Eastern regional NCAA champions | 8:04 | |
| (crowd cheering) | 8:07 | |
| and the final four participants. | 8:10 | |
| It's been a fantastic year. | 8:12 | |
| - | And although you and I won't be here next year, | 8:14 |
| we hope you will continue to support and do basketball | 8:18 | |
| because it's a class act and it's a class school | 8:23 | |
| and, as far as I'm concerned, | 8:26 | |
| it's the best place in the country to be. | 8:28 | |
| (crowd cheering) | 8:31 | |
| (piano music) | 8:35 | |
| - | I would hope that people would look at student action week | 8:39 |
| and see that a small group of people can put together | 8:41 | |
| a fairly impressive range of speakers and events | 8:47 | |
| and get help from the whole university community | 8:49 | |
| from the union, the (indistinct), Chronicle, et cetera. | 8:55 | |
| (piano music) | 8:59 | |
| - | One of the reasons that we did the week was | 9:06 |
| because people asked the question or pointed out | 9:08 | |
| that there wasn't anything worthwhile caring about. | 9:10 | |
| Nowadays, in the 1980s, all the major problems | 9:13 | |
| had been solved by the civil rights movement or whatever | 9:15 | |
| and one of the things about student action week | 9:17 | |
| was that we pointed out the, | 9:20 | |
| I think the major problem we have nowadays, in 1988 | 9:21 | |
| is there were too many things to worry about which makes it, | 9:24 | |
| I was so frightening that you won't actually be able to | 9:26 | |
| concentrate on anything. | 9:28 | |
| (piano music) | 9:30 | |
| - | There's a lot of folks who have this basic rap | 9:41 |
| about students in college today, | 9:43 | |
| is that you're pretty much caught up in yourselves | 9:45 | |
| and your own lives and your own friends, | 9:48 | |
| that you don't care about what's going on beyond that. | 9:51 | |
| And I think that you all being here today | 9:53 | |
| is a statement that that's not true. | 9:56 | |
| - | And it's not true, it's told to us, over and over, | 9:57 |
| that it doesn't matter, it doesn't make any difference. | 9:59 | |
| It does make a difference, everything makes a difference. | 10:02 | |
| - | The solutions aren't easily to come by, | 10:05 |
| but they nearly always demand that each of us, | 10:08 | |
| in his own way according to his or her own interests, | 10:12 | |
| have something to say about them. | 10:14 | |
| If we decide that George Bush, Michael Dukakis | 10:16 | |
| and Jesse Jackson alone are going to solve these problems, | 10:19 | |
| It'd never be solved, | 10:21 | |
| but if we take it upon ourselves to do something about it, | 10:22 | |
| then the solutions become a little clearer. | 10:26 | |
| (piano music) | 10:28 | |
| - | They just act on what you think you can do | 10:33 |
| because you can, it's amazing. | 10:35 | |
| (piano music) | 10:37 | |
| - | Why, in my heart, I feel this is important | 10:41 |
| is because I love this university. | 10:44 | |
| I want to see it shine. | 10:46 | |
| (people cheering) | 10:48 | |
| (piano music) | 10:50 | |
| - | It's something to talk about, | 10:53 |
| all the things we talked about tonight | 10:55 | |
| and you can tell by now, with me, | 10:58 | |
| it is not a very easy subject to deal with. | 10:59 | |
| I just wanna ask you, instead of just talking about it, | 11:04 | |
| let's act for change, okay? | 11:07 | |
| Put yourself in that other person's position | 11:10 | |
| before you make a judgment, before you assume anything, | 11:13 | |
| that's all I'm asking. | 11:17 | |
| - | What about integration on campus | 11:20 |
| and interaction between the two groups? | 11:22 | |
| How do you think you can do anything about that? | 11:23 | |
| - | Well, I don't think things like that can be forced. | 11:26 |
| I think it has, it's only going to be quality interaction. | 11:28 | |
| If it is, a natural thing | 11:31 | |
| if it just happens in a friendships form, | 11:32 | |
| I don't really think there's anything you can do to force | 11:34 | |
| stuff like that. | 11:35 | |
| - | I'm not so sure I believe in the concept of, | 11:36 |
| oh wow, this is a campus problem, let's solve it | 11:39 | |
| because I feel like, as far as race relations are concerned, | 11:41 | |
| a lot of it does come with individual relationships. | 11:44 | |
| And those are a lot more difficult to foster | 11:48 | |
| simply because you can't force people to be open-minded. | 11:50 | |
| You can't force people to begin to understand people | 11:54 | |
| that are different than they are. | 11:56 | |
| - | And I think everyone wants to interrelate, | 11:57 |
| but it's just some sort of barrier there. | 11:59 | |
| (helicopter whirling) | 12:06 | |
| (crowd cheering) | 12:19 | |
| (trumpet music playing) | 12:25 | |
| - | Well, that's why we're here. | 12:37 |
| Now, I've heard critics say employers have no business | 12:40 | |
| looking for drug abuse in the workplace, | 12:42 | |
| but when you pin the critics down, | 12:45 | |
| too often they seem to be among that handful | 12:47 | |
| who still believe that drug abuse is a victimless- | 12:49 | |
| - | Your presence here today sends a clear message to all | 12:53 |
| about the importance your administration places | 12:56 | |
| on generating greater and more effective efforts | 12:58 | |
| to prevent substance abuse wherever it occurs | 13:01 | |
| in our society. | 13:04 | |
| On behalf of Duke University, | 13:06 | |
| I now declare you an honorary Blue Devil | 13:08 | |
| and present to you a token of our appreciation. | 13:11 | |
| (crowd cheering) | 13:13 | |
| (trumpet playing) | 13:17 | |
| - | What do you think about what the president said today | 13:23 |
| about drug abuse? | 13:24 | |
| Do you think mandatory testing is the answer? | 13:25 | |
| - | I don't think mandatory testing is the answer, | 13:27 |
| but I think corporations do have, | 13:29 | |
| I mean private corporations have rights to make restrictions | 13:31 | |
| on their employees if they want to, I think. | 13:36 | |
| - | Do you think mandatory testing is a good idea? | 13:38 |
| - | Yes, definitely. | 13:41 |
| - | In all professions or just certain professions | 13:42 |
| like military? | 13:44 | |
| - | I feel, especially in all professions that any kind | 13:45 |
| of security is involved. | 13:47 | |
| Police department, nuclear power. | 13:48 | |
| - | They can test me whenever they want. | 13:51 |
| - | It was interesting to have a president come, I guess. | 13:53 |
| - | He said he wanted to come to the game yesterday, | 13:56 |
| but couldn't get tickets. | 13:57 | |
| - | Uh huh. | 13:58 |
| - | Yeah, so- | 13:59 |
| - | What do you think of mandatory drug testing? | 14:00 |
| - | I think it's good in a public workplace, | 14:02 |
| I think is very good. | 14:04 | |
| (crowd chanting) | 14:06 | |
| (crowd chanting continues) | 14:15 | |
| - | Ronald's here, Mr. Reagan, president Reagan. | 14:23 |
| He's doing a good thing, | 14:26 | |
| trying to get American free from drugs and | 14:27 | |
| here these people are protesting something | 14:29 | |
| that has nothing to do with that whatsoever. | 14:30 | |
| - | The issue today was drug abuse in the workplace | 14:31 |
| and that's what the president came here to speak about. | 14:34 | |
| And they're not here to worry about who the conscious are, | 14:37 | |
| what they're dealing with and all that. | 14:40 | |
| It's just, what's going on in the United States | 14:42 | |
| with drug abuse in the workplace here. | 14:45 | |
| (upbeat jazz music) | 14:50 | |
| (upbeat jazz music continues) | 15:11 | |
| - | We'd like to thank you all for coming out | 15:29 |
| and hope that you go back | 15:31 | |
| and talk about this, sort of strange event this afternoon | 15:32 | |
| and hope that it will bring about talk about | 15:35 | |
| how we can all work together to take care of our quads | 15:38 | |
| and our general neighborhood. | 15:41 | |
| So, thank you for coming. | 15:43 | |
| (crowd clapping) | 15:44 | |
| - | Have a flyer. | 15:48 |
| (upbeat jazz music) | 15:50 | |
| - | Well, tie-dying business is going pretty well here. | 16:10 |
| Made all these in my dorm room last week | 16:12 | |
| and I'm making quite a bit of money this week, so it's good. | 16:14 | |
| (upbeat jazz music) | 16:18 | |
| - | We have painted clothing, | 16:20 |
| specializing in underwear, both ladies' and men's. | 16:21 | |
| (upbeat piano music) | 16:24 | |
| - | Oh God, what is it? | 16:26 |
| - | Hello, cable 13. | 16:28 |
| - | It's pretty much a good time. | 16:31 |

| Duke is the college in the country | 19:35 | |
| because it's not Ivy League. | 19:37 | |
| Ivy League is just crap. | 19:39 | |
| Everyone there has thick glasses and Duke has everything. | 19:41 | |

| What about last night was so fun? | 21:58 | |
| - | Oh, it was the first night I've never had a curfew. | 22:00 |
| - | Overall, what do you think about Duke? | 22:02 |
| - | Very social. | 22:05 |
| (violin graduation music) | 22:08 | |
| (violin graduation music continues) | 22:32 | |
| (violin graduation music continues) | 23:06 | |
| - | The chief function of the graduation speaker | 24:08 |
| has always been to prevent graduating seniors | 24:11 | |
| from being released into the world | 24:14 | |
| before they've been properly sedated. | 24:15 | |
| (crowd laughing and cheering) | 24:18 | |
| In my commencement strip this year, | 24:20 | |
| a student in cap and gown is approached by a homeless man | 24:21 | |
| and asked if he has any spare change. | 24:24 | |
| Are you crazy, replies the student, | 24:26 | |
| I owe this place $40,000. | 24:28 | |
| (crowd laughing and cheering) | 24:31 | |
| One of the things that has always distinguished this country | 24:33 | |
| from most others is that we've always come back | 24:36 | |
| to challenging ourselves to do better. | 24:38 | |
| We have always been willing to reinvent ourselves | 24:40 | |
| for the common good. | 24:43 | |
| This is the true glory of America. | 24:45 | |
| (crowd laughing and cheering) | 24:48 | |
| Duke has been a wonderful place in which to grow up. | 24:49 | |
| How could anyone not love it here? | 24:51 | |
| Ours is a world-class university. | 24:54 | |
| We have outstanding scholars and teachers. | 24:57 | |
| We have gifted and well-rounded students. | 24:59 | |
| We have the most beautiful campus in the country. | 25:02 | |
| Duke should have the confidence to plan for its own future. | 25:05 | |
| We must let Duke be Duke and not someone else's idea | 25:08 | |
| of what a college should be. | 25:12 | |
| (crowd cheering) | 25:14 | |
| - | By the authority vested in me, I confer upon you | 25:17 |
| and each of you, the ancient and honorable degree of | 25:20 | |
| Bachelor of Arts. | 25:23 | |
| In recognition of this major step, | 25:24 | |
