	(band playing lively music)	0:37
	(lively music continues)	3:37
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
	(guitar music continues)	12:03

	(crowd cheers)	14:07
	(crowd roars)	14:10
	(crowd cheers)	14:40
	(synth music plays)	16:56
-	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
	we can't imagine that you're sitting in a beautiful facility	19:26
	on the campus of the Duke university.	19:30
	You got to imagine you're on a ship sailing	19:32

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
	(men singing)	35:26
	(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
	If you know it, sing along.	40:09
	♪ How many roads must a man walk down, ♪	40:11
	♪ before you call him a man. ♪	40:17
	♪ How many seas must a white dove sail, ♪	40:22
	♪ before she sleeps in the sand? ♪	40:29
	♪ How many times must the cannonballs fly, ♪	40:34

	♪ The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind, ♪	40:45
	♪ the answer is blowin' in the wind. ♪	40:51

	♪ How many years can some people exist, ♪	41:08
	♪ before they're allowed to be free? ♪	41:13
	♪ How many times can a man turn his head, ♪	41:19

	The answer is blowin' in the wind.	42:01
-	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
	(upbeat music)	45:48
	(upbeat music)	47:35
	(music continues)	48:29
	(upbeat music)	49:31
	(upbeat music)	51:21
	(upbeat music)	53:49
	(church bells)	57:02
	(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
	(rock music)	1:00:33
