The Archive
Established in 1887, The Archive is one of the oldest continuously published literary magazines in the United States and the oldest student publication at Duke University . The primary focus of the magazine is the publication of student poetry and short fiction. Each edition also showcases photography and artwork. Submissions need not conform to a particular subject or theme; the staff welcomes fresh, original work of all kinds. We are proud to be able to print the work of a new generation of writers and artists. In addition to publishing two editions a year, the magazine organizes student readings featuring Archive contributors and the writers of the Duke community, known as the Archive Literary Festival. Readings are free and open to the public, and we hope you will join us when they start up in the spring. In the meantime, pick up a copy of the magazine and see what Duke students are writing about.

Blind Spot
What is a Blind Spot? It's that place in your field of vision that you can't quite see, an invisible hole in your perception of the world around you. Some might view it as a nuisance, an error in nature's design that evolution has yet to correct. Others, the dreamers and visionaries, know the truth: a blind spot represents something special, one of the many dark corners of the universe from which unexpected things emerge - it's a well of wonders waiting to be sounded, given sufficient imagination. So what is "The Blind Spot"? We are a journal that publishes creative writing, art, and poetry in the genres of sci-fi, fantasy, and speculative fiction, as well as reviews on current works in these genres. It's our goal to use this publication to explore the creative possibilities of alternate worlds and times, to discover what's lurking just out of sight in our blind spots. Please join us on our quest, by reading our journal, and by considering writing or illustrating for our next issue!

Carpe Noctem
Carpe Noctem is a svelte, fine-figured magazine. As the sole source for written humor at Duke, we have served the Duke Community for eight years and are rapidly expanding. Humor styles include news articles and interviews, plays and poems, photo-documentaries and bracketologies. Most importantly, though, is the regular appearance of penguins in every issue. Circulation of each issue is currently at 2000, with an obsessive cult following and a pass-along rate that has been deemed contagious by the Center for Disease Control. Each fall and spring we come out with a full size 16-24 page magazine. Since last year, we have added an additional 16-page "Winter Issue" pamphlet to ensure that the hilarity never stops. And as always, we plan to raise more money to cover injury insurance policies and bail.

The Chanticleer
The Chanticleer, Duke's yearbook, takes its name from the singing rooster in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. While nobody today is really sure why the Chanticleer was given this name, nearly a century after its conception the yearbook still proudly documents life at Duke. Last year featured an experimental full-color book, and this year?s continues to evolve more than ever. The Chanticleer is solidly working in the digital age?we use top of the line equipment and recently purchased and entire new set of computers, making it easier than ever to capture campus life. Now in its ninety-third year, the Chanticleer continues to progress, reflecting the thriving and ever-changing Duke University student body.

Eruditio
Since 1982, Eruditio has reigned as Duke's only undergraduate humanities journal. By providing a forum for undergraduate academic writing, the journal seeks to capture the verve and vitality of undergraduate interest, bridging a wide variety of disciplines. Eruditio ascribes to a less-than-classical definition of 'the humanities,' heartily welcoming both traditional and nontraditional forays into those branches of knowledge that are concerned with human thought and culture. We accept submissions of full-length papers, beginning in the fall of each academic year, and are also currently in the process of a creative expansion, looking for staff writers and staff brains of all academic and artsy persuasions.

Journal of Prospective Health Care
Prospective Health Care is an emerging field focusing on detection and prevention of health problems before they cause sickness. It is intended to improve the well-being of participants and reduce the overall costs of health care, and is fueled by continuing advances in genomics and a greater understanding of environmental risk factors, as well as the need to reduce costs and improve patient care in the current health care system. The mission of the Journal is twofold: we want to (1) to raise awareness about the ideas of Prospective Health Care and (2) to provide a forum for scholarly dialogue on Prospective Health Care and related issues. The intended audience of the Journal is undergraduates and graduate students from any academic background, and professionals from any field, who are interested in reforming health care.

Latent Image & Fix
Taking its name from the invisible pattern of light that emerges from a photograph during development, Latent Image is Duke's annual publication of fine-art black and white photography. Edited by undergraduates since 1973, the book showcases the talents of the members of the Duke community, including undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Latent Image has a reputation for being a top-notch, high-quality publication. Fix is a newer, color photography publication started as a supplement to Latent 2 years ago. It is also edited by Duke undergraduates and is rapidly becoming an independent publication. Both Latent Image and Fix are printed each spring and distributed for free around campus in the spring and the following fall.

Passport Magazine
Passport Magazine is an internationally-themed magazine that brings educational and entertaining stories to the Duke community. We will cover almost anything, and the more unique the story, the better. Through social interactions and group revision of articles, Passport develops a community of peers with a focus on the process of creating magazine-worthy work. Using diverse media—from photo essays to travel journals to research journalism—we attempt to cover at least six continents in each issue as we provide interesting, new information to Duke students.

Rival Magazine
Rival Magazine is a joint Duke-UNC publication that actively seeks to stimulate social contact, promote intercollegiate communication, and catalyze intellectual and organizational collaboration between two elite institutions. Our magazine serves as a forum for students, faculty, and administrators to express common interests, debate burning issues, share mutual concerns affecting the community, and publicize events and programs that benefit both schools.
While Rival focuses on content that bridges the gap between Duke and UNC, it also delivers current, newsworthy articles that allow readership to explore some of the most pressing issues of our time. Past features have addressed performance enhancing drugs in sports and academics, social upheaval in Burma, and the impact of Teach for America on our nation?s youth. Articles directly linking the Duke-UNC communities have included the triangle music scene, secret societies on both campuses, the Duke-UNC Basketball Marathon, and campus start-ups like shoeboxed.com.

Vertices
Last year marked the 20th anniversary of Vertices, Duke?s undergraduate journal of science and technology. Vertices is a top-quality, tri-yearly publication highlighting undergraduate scientific writing, with an emphasis on original research and commentary. Vertices also publishes articles that highlight the interdisciplinary nature of science and its impact on society. Submissions have come from various departments ranging from Chemistry to Engineering to Philosophy. Examples of past articles include, ?Ganglionic Cell Death,? ?Backpropagation in Stem Cells,? ?Epigenetics,? ?Senescence,? and ?Ethical Claims on Lung Transplantation.? As scientific fields have become increasingly collaborative in nature, Vertices also places additional emphasis on interdisciplinary scientific research.
