Civic Values Initiative teaches social responsibilites
The most intriguing aspect of Brian Henn's "Page 3" article on Wednesday (Oct. 2), "As the 'real world' bubble bursts, students learn to adjust" was Dean of Student Life Janet Dickerson's question, "How do we engage these issues?" Princeton Project 55 has recognized this need for students to work together to consider what values and basic principles should be promoted, defended, or adhered to on campus.
Project 55's newest program, The Civic Values Initiative (CIV) is attempting to engage students in such issues. Although, as the article suggests, graduating seniors will be looking in various directions for employment and education after leaving the University, CIV believes that it is essential to encourage a sense of social responsibility — an overall recognizance that there is 'life outside of Princeton' — within all students, no matter what they choose to do after graduation.
We have made it CIV's mission to create the circumstances and environment in which "to be a Princetonian is to be an active and effective citizen and community participant." Please email civ@project55.org if you would like to join the effort to place more attention on civic values at Princeton. Lindsay Michelotti '02 CIV Program Manager

The administration is sacrificing its moral sense and its purported affiliation to human decency in the name of upholding arbitrarily designed and implemented campus rules and regulations.”

Letter to the Editor: The gross manufacturing of narrative
Sarah Sakha"The Gaza Solidarity Encampment, a space we have created together, is an unwavering testament to community and care in the face of apathy, keeping each other safe by growing large, impenetrable, and powerful. And we have done so in spite of a larger apparatus working against students."

Reject Israel Shabbat, join Solidarity Shabbat
Guest Contributors"Tonight’s “Israel Shabbat,” as well as the day-to-day celebration of Israel in light of its international human rights violations and brutality over the last seven months, has alienated many Jewish students critical of the ethno-state’s actions."
