Something has to change. We're not sure what, exactly, but take our word for it — there's a critically important issue that we, the Opinion Board of The Daily Princetonian, need to comment upon. We think it might have something to do with the squirrels.
Or maybe it has something to do with the malifluous phrases we've used in this gray box over the last year. We've mentioned that we live in a 'meteorologically-challenged locale' on at least one occasion, probably to harp on the fact that we don't go to a school in nice, sunny Hawaii. We've also used the word 'hagiography,' which means a 'worshipful and idealizing biography.' It can also mean the biography of a saint. In this case, it was in reference to Dean Fred Hargadon. Now, it would truly take a Rhodes Scholar to whip that out.
But that's not all: When complaining that it is too difficult for bums like us to get any action around here, we've also demanded the establishment of a 'relationship protocol transition.' Nothing's changed, and at least half of this opinion board still cannot find a date.
We've used the phrase 'plus factor' in ways that have left others nonplussed — especially, it seems, a certain administrator whose desire to appoint women whenever possible is about as well-concealed as that hideous rusted wall we apparently classify as art.
Speaking of the arts, we did manage to describe one piece of literature as an individual's "first truly 'adult' body of work." We were referring, of course, to the senior thesis. — The Daily Princetonian Opinion Board

Seniors deserve better than Jay Shetty
Izabela Konopka and Joshua YangWe are writing to express our strong disapproval of the selection of Jay Shetty as the 2025 Class Day speaker. We deserve better than a self-help guru and repeated plagiarist who runs a “school” that an expert claims exhibits “similar patterns” to a multi-level marketing scheme.

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.

Princeton, let’s adopt a digital prox
