There is arguably no phrase more penned in this paper than Princeton’s informal motto, “In the Nation’s Service and the Service of Humanity.” Last semester, eight separate opinions mentioned it — 14 if you count those published over the summer. It is obvious that Princetonians care about this phrase; it is etched in a medallion on the course from FitzRandolph Gate to Nassau Hall. But we can’t seem to agree on what it means.

My four-year old niece is obsessed with her iPad and she is not alone. Not only are tablets far more common in households with children, but an astonishing 86.6 percent of kids under the age of three exceed the American Academy of Pediatrics’ screen time recommendations. While I fear the developmental consequences of my niece’s early-age exposure to screens, my college-age peers and I should know that we, too, are marred by our current use of technology.

1,193 sophomores, 80 percent of the Class of 2026, participated in this year’s Street Week, with 66 percent double-bickering. As in years past, Bicker and its merits were a source of contention among the student body. We asked our columnists to reflect on Street Week 2024 and Bicker, more generally.

To the political right, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is the beginning of the end. The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board warns of DEI officers who “enforce ideological conformity.” Abigail Anthony ’23 claimed that DEI initiatives “divide, exclude, and ostracize students of all political affiliation.” The freedom of speech, some people argue, will be obliterated by DEI-obsessed bureaucrats.

At Princeton, a collection of progressive student organizations recently advocated for class-based affirmative action as a potential solution to the Supreme Court in SFFA v. Harvard ruling race-conscious college admissions practices unconstitutional at most all higher education institutions

The expiration of Section 568 of the Improving America’s Schools Act of 1994 has raised one question: what is the fate of athletic scholarships in the Ivy League, especially here at Princeton? Proponents of compensating student-athletes generally cite the immense difficulty of performing well physically, academically, and mentally, and argue that it is exploitative to withhold fair compensation from the very students generating national attention and revenue for their universities.

Who wouldn’t love to work on a beach? In his recent column, Technology Columnist Christopher Lidard ’25 describes the time he actually did, arguing for work that is virtual, and subsequently more “temporally and geographically flexible”; powered through Zoom; and via the disintegration of the standard workday.

TigerConfessions is a private Facebook group composed of current and former Princeton students where members can post anonymized confessions for other users to view and comment on. Since its creation, it’s served as a forum for both vulnerable and outlandish student voices.

According to a number of court-watchers, this spring, the Supreme Court is probably going to rule affirmative action unconstitutional. Elite colleges, like Princeton, will then be faced with the challenge of building diverse classes despite race-blind admissions, a problem University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 has admitted will be difficult to solve. But why does our admission process fail to include students of color without the bandage of affirmative action in the first place? It is because our admissions criteria is largely dependent on metrics that guarantee students of color will be excluded. We must reimagine how we admit applicants to guarantee students of color are included without superfluous solutions.

The USG Reform Project has proposed a change to the USG referendum process. While most student petitions that gather enough signatures would formerly be put to the student body, the proposed reform suggests instead that issues go to a USG hearing, and the USG alone would decide which issues should be put to the student body.

Having been deprived of chicken quesadillas and mass-produced sushi since May, I was eager to return to Frist Campus Center for my first late meal of the year. It came as a surprise to me, then, to discover that food prices at the Food Gallery in Frist had increased from what they were last semester, with most entrées exceeding the Unlimited Dining Plan’s then-allotted $8 late lunch and dinner credit.
