| Woman | I think this year has really involved | 4:52 |
| numerous changes. | 4:54 | |
| Numerous significant changes. | 4:55 | |
| (loud indistinct chatter) | 4:57 | |
| Journalist | What do you think about | 5:32 |
| the closing of the dope shop? | 5:33 | |
| - | Well, I don't think much of it, now. | 5:34 |
| I hate to see it go. | 5:35 | |
| It's been here ever since I have. | 5:37 | |
| It's been here ever since I have, | 5:39 | |
| I really hate to see it go. | 5:42 | |
| Journalist | Are you going to be working | 5:44 |
| in the new building? | 5:45 | |
| - | As far as I know now, we are. | 5:46 |
| Journalist | Do you think it'll be the same? | 5:48 |
| - | With me it won't ever be the same, | 5:50 |
| I done got used to over here. | 5:53 | |
| It may be for the best, but I just like this here | 5:56 | |
| cause it seem more like a fist to name dope shop. | 6:02 | |
| - | I don't have to many thoughts about it, | 6:09 |
| I'm going to east Campbell. | 6:11 | |
| - | Oh, it's going to be nice, | 6:12 |
| but everybody's going to miss it. | 6:14 | |
| And it's going to be different, | 6:15 | |
| but they'll all like it when they learn it, the other one. | 6:17 | |
| They will. | 6:21 | |
| Journalist | Are you going to be over there | 6:22 |
| in the new building? | 6:23 | |
| - | I'm going to be at the snack bar, and full force. | 6:24 |
| Journalist | And the rest of the ladies? | 6:27 |
| - | They going to be all around, different places. | 6:28 |
| Journalist | Okay, thank you. | 6:31 |
| - | You're welcome. | 6:33 |
| Man | Almost from its beginning, | 6:36 |
| Duke University had dreams of a central facility | 6:38 | |
| to accommodate social, cultural, | 6:40 | |
| and co-curricular activities. | 6:43 | |
| A center which would bring together all the various members | 6:46 | |
| of the family that is Duke university. | 6:50 | |
| The Brian's center well indeed enrich the lives | 6:54 | |
| of all who work and study at Duke | 6:58 | |
| and what further promote the intellectual community, | 7:00 | |
| the community of scholars and students. | 7:03 | |
| I have looked at this building that we hope will become | 7:06 | |
| the living room of the university. | 7:13 | |
| It seems to me that the very physical structure is alive, | 7:16 | |
| and I'm sure that it will bring that spirit | 7:20 | |
| to all who come here. | 7:23 | |
| Well, it's a happy time when I can, | 7:24 | |
| on behalf of Duke University, | 7:31 | |
| welcome all of you who have dreamed and planned, | 7:33 | |
| and worked, and begged, and persevered, | 7:37 | |
| in order to bring this building into being. | 7:41 | |
| - | The center stands as a symbol | 7:46 |
| but also is a very practical working evidence | 7:52 | |
| of this university's determination. | 7:57 | |
| That it's students, graduate and undergraduate, | 8:00 | |
| and its faculty, | 8:03 | |
| shall not be pushed into myopic specialization, | 8:04 | |
| or contemporary academic life. | 8:10 | |
| (upbeat jazz music) | 8:14 | |
| It will enable the university to fulfill his dreams | 8:21 | |
| of providing a gracious and exciting university environment. | 8:24 | |
| For all who are associated with Duke. | 8:28 | |
| Life will never again be as voluntary | 8:31 | |
| as much of your own making as it is right now | 8:36 | |
| during your time here at Duke. | 8:44 | |
| This center will be the hub of that voluntary life. | 8:49 | |
| May you and your successors make the most of it. | 8:52 | |
| (sentimental music) | 9:01 | |
| (sentimental music continues) | 9:38 | |
| Woman | I think change is always very, very difficult. | 11:03 |
| (classic rock music) | 11:10 | |
| Man | It's really odd about the hideaway. | 11:22 |
| The fact that it was here, it started the year we came. | 11:24 | |
| Now it may be finished the year that we go. | 11:28 | |
| Just seems like a total part of our experience, | 11:30 | |
| can't imagine Duke without it. | 11:33 | |
| (sentimental music) | 11:42 | |
| (guitar music) | 11:49 | |
| - | I was talking to a doctor at Duke hospital, | 11:51 |
| and since had told me he was 24, but that's impossible. | 11:53 | |
| Could be more than nine years old I think. | 11:56 | |
| Makes him younger. | 12:00 | |

| - | It helps I think to explain some of the mistrust, | 17:59 |
| the anger, that the faculty has felt | 18:04 | |
| as far as the Nixon library is concerned. | 18:09 | |
| - | Imagination time with Page auditorium here, | 19:24 |

| Journalist | Welcome to Raleigh. | 21:12 |
| - | Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here. | 21:14 |
| - | [Female Journalist] Tell us a bit about | 21:15 |
| what you'll be doing in the movie. | 21:16 | |
| - | Well, we're doing a wonderful movie. | 21:18 |
| That deals with very interesting and unique situations. | 21:20 | |
| And it's a love story too, which is nice. | 21:24 | |
| With lots of dazzling, new special events. | 21:26 | |
| Man | For the next five days, | 21:55 |
| ten professional divers will be human Guinea pigs | 21:57 | |
| inside Duke's high pressure chamber. | 21:59 | |
| They'll undergo a battery of mental and physical tests | 22:01 | |
| at different simulated depths to see how they react. | 22:04 | |
| And if they can adapt to nitrogen narcosis. | 22:07 | |
| (lively music) | 22:18 | |
| (lively music continues) | 23:04 | |
| - | You know, we all do just a little reading here | 25:35 |
| and no more heat on you for quite a while. | 25:40 | |
| We really can't get anywhere unless you read the 80 pages, | 25:43 | |
| or Richard. | 25:47 | |
| Has that happened? | 25:49 | |
| How many, everybody be honest, so I know where I am. | 25:53 | |
| How many have read 80 pages of Richard Hofstadter, | 25:57 | |
| The age of reform? | 26:00 | |
| - | It takes the humbling of pride to give us insight, | 26:10 |
| because what keeps us from seeing things | 26:14 | |
| is not just the flatterers around us, | 26:17 | |
| but the thoughts in our mind, | 26:20 | |
| and the pride in our hearts. | 26:22 | |
| And until in some way or another that's brought low, | 26:23 | |
| until we fall, we never understand anything. | 26:27 | |
| And once you understand some things, | 26:29 | |
| then you have a chance at being a human. | 26:33 | |
| - | And that requires the kind of courage | 26:40 |
| Walt Whitman exemplified. | 26:42 | |
| In his poem The poet. | 26:44 | |
| Where he wrote, | 26:47 | |
| oh, I see flashing, that this America is only you and me. | 26:50 | |
| It's power, weapons, testimony are you and me. | 26:55 | |
| (sports announcer chattering) | 27:25 | |
| (shoes squeaking on floor) | 27:31 | |
| Announcer | Chip's going to have to take it from outside. | 29:01 |
| And there it is. | 29:02 | |
| (crowd roars) | 29:04 | |
| Down low, back out to Emma. | 29:07 | |
| Inside the mic to stop with a shot. | 29:10 | |
| And it's good. | 29:12 | |
| Stops at the foul line. | 29:13 | |
| Back to Maharr, inside the vehicle. | 29:15 | |
| Good pass. | 29:17 | |
| Vince with a ditzy doodle. | 29:18 | |
| Vince Taylor with a great bucket. | 29:20 | |
| Has not played very many players | 29:22 | |
| outside the starting lineup. | 29:24 | |
| Most notably Tom Emmas. | 29:25 | |
| Vince Taylor, taking the shot, | 29:34 | |
| just shot down low to Chip England. | 29:36 | |
| Vince Taylor inside. | 29:41 | |
| There's an opportunity to get back into this game. | 29:46 | |
| Tom Emma from outside the foul line. | 29:53 | |
| Tremendous comeback for the Duke team. | 29:55 | |
| They were down by eight, less than three minutes ago. | 30:00 | |
| Just fouled out of the ballgame. | 30:11 | |
| Center number five. | 30:13 | |
| It's like they're just going to take it to the hoop now. | 30:15 | |
| Vince Taylor puts it in. | 30:17 | |
| Vince taking it all the way in. | 30:20 | |
| Second shot. | 30:27 | |
| Rolled in. | 30:28 | |
| Emma, the open jumper, Tom Emma, | 30:30 | |
| no one will catch him on that one. | 30:33 | |
| England to the hoop. | 30:35 | |
| England inside the Williams, | 30:36 | |
| the short hook shot. | 30:40 | |
| Inside the lane, he'll go to the hoop. | 30:41 | |
| Taylor of Duke university. | 30:44 | |
| Taylor in the middle of a mass of humanity. | 30:46 | |
| One a tremendous finish to a tremendous career here. | 30:51 | |
| (indistinct) | 30:56 | |
| (crowd cheers) | 30:59 | |
| (live classic rock music) | 31:02 | |
| Woman | And we have so much student talent here. | 32:18 |
| - | I challenge you, Olaf the barbarian. | 32:27 |
| Die you scum. | 32:29 | |
| - | I accept, you pig, chauvinist. | 32:34 |
| You'll lose here, and the barbarian shall conquer. | 32:36 | |
| - | All right, you lost a leg, get down. | 32:51 |
| - | A leg will not stop me, never. | 32:55 |
| (group singing) | 33:08 | |
| (group singing) | 33:55 | |
| (upbeat jazz music) | 35:02 | |

| (women singing) | 36:52 | |
| (men singing) | 37:29 | |
| (men chanting) | 38:07 | |
| - | There's something more important | 39:59 |
| to worry about these days. | 40:00 | |
| And that's very consistent. | 40:02 | |
| Couple of songs I wrote back then are still good today. | 40:04 | |

| - | What I see in terms of, | 42:15 |
| of the intellectual life around here | 42:16 | |
| is the eating situation, it's fancy. | 42:18 | |
| And we've got seven new rad scalers and dorms | 42:20 | |
| and beer parlors, | 42:23 | |
| and they're all walled off with point systems and cards. | 42:24 | |
| And it runs, if I were you guys, | 42:27 | |
| I would figure out ways to take a lot more control | 42:30 | |
| over the point system | 42:32 | |
| so that you weren't ending up 4,000 short or 4,000 ahead. | 42:34 | |
| But in the meantime, before you do that, | 42:38 | |
| that's a long-term proposal in the short term. | 42:40 | |
| I think you ought to take a professor to lunch. | 42:43 | |
| I think all these people with the extra points | 42:45 | |
| should think seriously, | 42:48 | |
| or make the professor take you to lunch | 42:50 | |
| if he's got extra points. | 42:54 | |
| But I'm struck by the the incredible goal | 42:57 | |
| that exists between students and faculty. | 43:01 | |
| It's really rather pathetic and it's not your fault | 43:03 | |
| and it's not our fault, | 43:08 | |
| but there's this strange kind of mutual distrust. | 43:09 | |
| And I would say, it's time for you to call their bluff. | 43:12 | |
| You know, if you've got professors whom you think | 43:15 | |
| are dead weight, | 43:18 | |
| then confirm that by taking them to lunch | 43:19 | |
| and seeing if they've got anything to talk about. | 43:22 | |
| I think you might find some surprises. | 43:24 | |
| Some of them are not as dead weights as they look. | 43:27 | |
| And those points are going to go back to headquarters, | 43:29 | |
| if you don't use the money. | 43:32 | |
| (loud chatter) | 43:34 | |
| - | There's nothing wrong with drinking beer, if you want to. | 44:01 |
| Up to a point, that's a decision, | 44:04 | |
| and I will not make a judgment on it. | 44:06 | |
| But I don't think that we can support a system | 44:08 | |
| of charging for board and permitting those parts to be used | 44:11 | |
| for beer and wine. | 44:14 | |
| And it's not going to go anymore. | 44:15 | |
| - | Probably from the standpoint of the Beta Phi Zeta case. | 44:24 |
| That's certainly there's been a good deal of controversy | 44:27 | |
| about that. | 44:30 | |
| And my perception is that there has been a gap that exists | 44:31 | |
| between at least a segment of the student body | 44:37 | |
| and the student affairs office, | 44:39 | |
| and I'm pretty much concerned about that. | 44:40 | |
| - | I think the Beta Phi Zeta represented something | 44:42 |
| to the fraternities, | 44:44 | |
| where the student input or the student's views | 44:45 | |
| didn't really matter. | 44:49 | |
| And that the administration was making decisions | 44:50 | |
| unilaterally. | 44:52 | |
| Concerning living groups, concerning students. | 44:53 | |
| Every Duke student we felt was affected by the decision. | 44:55 | |
| And so we, and we, we kind of see it as a rallying point. | 44:58 | |
| I think it's important to keep it in perspective, you know, | 45:02 | |
| at this being one of, you know, a number of decisions | 45:05 | |
| that we feel affect our, our student life. | 45:09 | |
| - | So what did happen was just a little bit | 45:17 |
| too much distorted, I think, | 45:20 | |
| for us to get a rational decision. | 45:22 | |
| - | To what degree you thought it was your responsibility | 45:23 |
| enforcing morality to the students. | 45:25 | |
| - | Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the bozo incident | 45:27 |
| because it's basically in the courts now | 45:31 | |
| from what I understand. | 45:34 | |
| And I have been instructed not to speak to anything | 45:35 | |
| from a legal standpoint, | 45:38 | |
| in regard to any aspect of that particular case. | 45:40 | |

| (crowd applauds) | 57:33 | |
| - | The kind fates have decreed | 58:11 |
| that your passage must be marked | 58:12 | |
| by the right of the commencement speech. | 58:14 | |
| Now, this rhetoric of occasion must take into account | 58:19 | |
| a fundamental and well-documented fact, | 58:22 | |
| namely that almost no one listens to. | 58:25 | |
| And absolutely no one can recall the substance | 58:27 | |
| of such an oration. | 58:30 | |
| But that of course is not it's point. | 58:33 | |
| Its function is to prolong the ceremony. | 58:36 | |
| The problems addressed by poets and philosophers | 58:44 | |
| and historians, and so many others, | 58:46 | |
| the internal problems of life and death, | 58:48 | |
| choice of the balancing of many values, | 58:51 | |
| of the struggle to define social justice and freedom. | 58:55 | |
| Those are real, and they press upon us. | 58:58 | |
| 753 candidates who've completed all the requirements | 59:04 | |
| for the bachelor of arts degree. | 59:09 | |
| - | Congratulations. | 59:13 |
| (crowd cheering) | 59:14 | |
| (marching band music playing) | 59:32 | |
| - | Today we provide additional strength | 59:50 |
| through our total society, | 59:52 | |
| by graduating another class at Duke university. | 59:54 | |
| You go with our hopes and fears and with our confidence | 59:58 | |
| and our encouragement, and our love. | 1:00:01 | |
| May the spirit of humanity go with you. | 1:00:04 | |
