		It says that Duke basketball players gravitate toward sociology, which is considered by some to be one of the easier majors at the school, and it questions the difficulty of the summer-school and independent-study courses that have helped juniors Jason Williams and Carlos Boozer close in on graduating in three years.
		The ESPN show suggested some players are taking "easy" classes and majors to get their degrees and noted that an unusually high number of players are studying sociology, which is considered a light course taken by only a small percentage of the student body.
		We appreciate that basketball is a big part of the Duke experience, and are all in favor of school spirit and team support, but in its present state, K-ville is a blight on the landscape of an otherwise beautiful campus.
