The Gap Generation
by Katherine Evans ’09
Taking a loosely structured but often highly
productive year off after you’re admitted to
college is a growing practice at some schools,
and those who have told Carolina to save their
seats are sold on the experience.

Legend Has It
by Clifton Barnes III ’ 82
The Duke-Carolina rivalry lit up Southern
college football for 50 years, and the memories
are still as vivid as the old newspaper headlines
and the keepsakes tucked away in attics.
On the cover: Duke
had gone into decline
and the Heels were
starting to spend their
football emotions on
N.C State by the time
this hurricane lamp
first glowed in the
early 1970s. Bruce
Egan, who works at
UNC, found it among
the memorabilia of his
father, Wesley Egan
’ 60. Duke is coming
over for Homecoming
on Nov. 7 for what’s
believed to be the first
time ever. Photos by

Hard Copy
by Nancy E. Oates
The rambunctious little department that
became a well-regarded journalism school
grew up with ink on its fingers. Now
it looks to new faculty, new ways and
in many respects to the students
themselves to make a viable go
of the new media.
