Beef is perhaps the most essential element of the American diet. We are carnivorous to a greater point than possibly any other country on earth. The carnal pleasure of sinking teeth into flesh has been painted as inexorably American in cowboy movies and fast food advertisements. Beef eating is so inextricably entwined with American cultural identity that not eating it may have been used as a justification to exclude people from the country. The extent of America’s addiction to beef is staggering. We use 654 million acres for grazing our 94.4 million cattle, an area larger than Alaska. This obsession comes at a staggering cost. Producing one kilogram of beef produces the equivalent of 100 kilograms of carbon dioxide, more than any other common food. Beef’s global warming potential is 7.2 times greater than chicken and 26 times that of lentils.

More gender-neutral bathrooms would make Princeton more inclusive

After a win versus Monmouth and a draw against rival Yale, men's soccer (3–4–1 overall, 0–1–1 Ivy League) faced one of their toughest matches of the season so far against No. 8 Georgetown (7–1–1, 3–0–0 Big East) on Tuesday. The team attempted to replicate what Princeton women’s soccer did versus Georgetown a few weeks ago, but this proved easier said than done. The Hoyas have been dominant this season, with their only loss coming against No. 6 Stanford. In spite of a strong first half from Princeton, Georgetown took the game handily.

School of Public and International Affairs professor Noreen Goldman and her colleagues recently published “The impact of COVID-19 on life expectancy among four Asian American subgroups,” deconstructing aggregate data about Asian American life expectancies after the pandemic. Published in the Social Science & Medicine - Population Health journal, the study found that Asian Americans as a whole faced greater losses in life expectancy between 2019 and 2020 than the white population, losing 1.1 to 3.9 years, with the largest drops occurring among Chinese women and Filipino men.

Amid the rise in anti-trans legislation proposed to target trans communities across the country, as well as growing political opposition surrounding access to gender-affirming healthcare, it’s more important than ever for Princeton to support transgender and gender-diverse students. As an institution committed to representing a diverse community, Princeton can and should implement strategies that benefit these students' physical and social well-being.

It’s that time of year: the trees around campus are turning a brilliant yellow, filling Princeton’s signature cobblestone paths with crunchy leaves. Students feverishly study for their midterms at Firestone. And as the weather gets chillier, the Coffee Club’s doors are open, offering students a warm respite with its new array of fall drinks. As someone who spends most of their time split between Campus Club and the NCW Coffee Club, I decided to embark on the mission of trying the full slate of new beverages.

Update on Elizabeth Tsurkov GS's Kidnapping
(10/04/23 5:34am)
A new statement released by the University states, for the first time, that the kidnapping of doctoral candidate Elizabeth Tsurkov GS in Iraq last March occurred during travel related to research for her politics dissertation. The University originally confirmed that Tsurkov was missing in July and has since maintained that University-related travel to Iraq would not be approved for students.

When safety precautions for COVID-19 forced students off of campus for over a year, many students disengaged with their clubs. When students finally returned to campus, the character and composition of many clubs had changed, often including a loss of membership and engagement.

Even in the quietest lecture halls, one sound is ever-present: coughing. From small seminars to COS 126, sickness in the classroom is ubiquitous. Such a trend at the start of the college year is not unheard of, especially during a COVID-19 spike. Many students, however, have tested negative for COVID-19 and claim to instead have the “frosh flu,” which is a colloquialism for having moderate to severe flu-like symptoms during students’ first year, an offshoot of the more widespread “Princeton plague” which has confined many a student to their rooms in the past few weeks. What’s unclear, however, is what adjustments the University and student organizations are making for these students. The answer is few, if any. As three interviewed first-years who caught some variation of the “frosh flu” can attest, Princeton’s general accommodations for students who are sick seem to fall flat, leading them to miss out on important Princeton or social experiences, shoulder extra personal costs, and fall behind academically. The University and student groups should therefore consider how to best accommodate such students in ways that allow them to prioritize their health, while not forgoing their academics or placing other undue burdens on them.
