Duke's Dark Side

So Jess is taking an undergraduate class (a pre req for his Master's in Economics and a grand lesson in humility as the little freshman whomp on him), which is on East Campus, miles away from the law school (located on West Campus). The drive to East Campus is very scenic, the highlight of which is "Graffiti Tunnel."

I can't decide if Graffiti Tunnel is a stomping ground for competing gangs, a giant canvas on which honor code bound students can express their individuality, free advertisement space, or just a routine stop when rushing for any given sorority.

In any case, I find it fascinating, both the paint job and the fact that Duke's rigid administration hasn't quelched it. There are years worth of paint just slathered in thick layers (see below).

Talk about self expression.







(I particularly appreciate this last one. Picture is mine, not the art. :) )
