Duncan College establishes 'fresh' identity
(02/12/10 12:00am)
Serving as Rice's newest residential college, Duncan College has come into its own following its first semester on campus. Named after Rice alumnus Charles ('47) and Anne Duncan, the 11th college has both turned its green reputation into a mecca of environmental friendliness and brought an entirely new meaning to the word 'BaDunc'.Made up of 79 freshmen, the Duncan class is sharing its rooms with its sister college, Baker College. However, this integration goes beyond just living spaces, as the two colleges eat meals together, play intramural sports together and even vote together. Instead of differentiating Baker students from Duncan students, the combined student body is referred to as "BaDunc."
