The world is an imperfect place, and Edward Felten likes to tinker with it.
When Will Ellerbe '08 opens his mailbox in Wu Dining Hall, he expects to sift through promotional offers, credit card applications and magazine subscriptions.
The big story this week was grade inflation, writ large in contraband photos on the front page of the 'Prince' and angry students talking about how the University ignored them.
A few weeks back, I was scrambling for a column topic, so I turned on the TV to find the most sizzling sports news of the day.
Though a mad cow disease scare in Washington State has caused Japan and Russia to suspend importation of U.S. beef, University officials say there is no danger of contaminated beef here in Princeton.
Intellectualism. A moratorium that has incensed athletes. A candidate calling his peers "tools." These are the themes of this year's USG contest, one that has mirrored the competition and controversy of professional politics, and one that will end today, when students choose the USG president, vice president and other leaders in runoffs.
Cloning is wrong, no matter the reason. Admittedly, George W. Bush is not the best with words, and his explanation as to why cloning is morally unjustifiable leaves something to be desired. However, like so often in the past, when faced with a difficult issue President Bush has made the correct policy decision on cloning, despite some faulty logic. Human cloning is the Pandora's Box of the medical community, a box which is tempting to open, but that will bring unforeseeable evils if unlatched. The moral ramifications of cloning do not stop with the creation of duplicate people or replacement organs, but instead are intertwined with the very nature of life itself. After examining the extent of the possible damage done by human cloning, it is evident that the abuse of the process could bring results so devastating that only a complete ban is appropriate.
I have the answer to all of your problems. Well, not really, but I might have the answer to one of your big ones. One of the main gripes of Princeton students is inconsistency between the cognitive and teaching abilities of our professors; it seems that everyone has had a professor teaching Earth Shaking 101 who is a complete genius yet couldn't teach his way out of a cardboard box. This type of inconsistency is not always present, but enrolling for a course with extremely high expectations and discovering mediocre teaching invariably results in the crushing of more than a few cases of bright-eyed freshman idealism. But I know a way out of hell. The Princeton Chinese Language Department is one of the most thoroughly outstanding institutions I have ever had the pleasure of being acquainted with and highlights all of Princeton's strengths without any of its weaknesses. If anyone reading this is tired of not knowing what kind of course he will pick out of Princeton's own little-box-of-chocolates course guide, simply enroll in Chinese and you'll immediately know just what you're going to get.
A few weeks ago, I claimed that cloning was small moral peanuts in comparison to our neglectful treatment of nonhuman organisms and future generations in environmental issues such as global climate change ("Created in Our Image," March 6). My position should not be mistaken for one that condones cloning humans. The response my column elicited from several readers demands a deeper analysis of the issues at hand.
The Princeton Regional Health Commission announced last night at a public meeting that it will push for state legislation to allow municipalities to issue ordinances against smoking.
Ninety-seven files, 20 stenographer's notebooks, more than 1,200 email messages pertaining to USG business, dozens of University reports and strategic plans, and three-and-a-half years of public service: they form what outgoing USG president Jeff Siegel '98 calls "institutional memory."
