'Porn exchange' is truly progressive
Regarding "Drug users need clean needles" (Oct. 14, 2003):
Robin Williams makes an excellent point in this column. But there is an even more important issue that, DUH, is even more essential to human progress. Did you know that 35.7 percent of rapes in this state are committed by people who can't afford porn? Or that 76.2 percent of the statistics you find on the internet are false. If New Jersey really wants to solve its violence problem, it would have the courage to do the right thing and make sure that criminals can have access to porn so that they can satisfy their basic human needs and will not have violent urges on our streets of New Jersey today. And plus, if we here in this state can have the leadership to embrace a porn exchange program, we can set a good example for the rest of the nation and for our president in Washington who needs to show more leadership on issues like this one.

Britney Spears' ex deserves 'mad props'
So, picture this: You're, like, best friends with the hottest girl in the world since you were little kids. Yeah, you took baths with Britney Spears. And then one night around New Year's, the two of you get together and get plastered, I mean just totally bombed. It's just, like, so awesome — there you are, boozing hard with the hottest girl in Hollywood. All of a sudden, you get this crazy — but crazy in that awesome way — idea: Let's get married. Yeah, that's right; you're going to get married to the best piece of flesh ever to grace the cover of Rolling Stone.
Well, my friends, it's not just a dream. For one awesome Louisiana brotha, the dream of marrying Britney Spears came true. He was legally and verfiably "Mr. Britney Spears" for 55 full hours. Can you imagine what it would feel like to be bombed AND be married to the nicest piece of skin Carson Daly has ever had on his show? I'm still just dreaming about it, but one thing is for sure: That guy deserves mad props. Cullen Newton '04

The CPUC must not gut its Judicial Committee
Bill HewittEnding the Judicial Committee’s jurisdiction over initial complaints would embolden abuses of power, allowing the administration to evade accountability for University rule violations without the pressure of student and faculty authority.

What is a Princeton degree really for?
Joel IbabaoSo what, in the end, is a Princeton degree really for? I take a more moderate view: Students should prioritize earning potential — unless they feel irresistibly called to something else.
