br /Studienanfänger der Duke University dürfen sich dieses Jahr nicht über ein T-Shirt und eine Baseballkappe im Uni-Design freuen. Als Ersatz liegt in ihren Goody-Bags Apple’s i-pod span style=”font-style:italic;”engraved with the school’s crest and the words “Class of 2008″/span bei.

br /span style=”font-style:italic;”The iPods being given to students have 20-gigabytes of storage and a $35 voice-recorder attachment. They come pre-loaded with welcome messages from school president Richard Brodhead and provost Peter Lange, the school’s alma mater and fight song, information about campus buildings and North Carolina’s Research Triangle area, as well as tips from current students on studying./span

br /Emily LaDue, a junior from Levittown, N.Y., says the giveaway “makes no sense” and that the money Duke is spending on the venture is better used for financial aid and campus security.
br /”From the freshmen I spoke with, I really don’t think the iPods will encourage creativity,” LaDue said. /span
