I’ve been following Anonymous — a loosely connected group of internet hackers — for a few months now.
To begin with the obvious: diversity is hardly a new topic of conversation at the University.
Last week, guest columnist Theo Furchtgott (full disclosure: Furchtgott is a friend and fellow Governing Council member of the American Whig-Cliosophic Society) decried the “steep price” we Ivy Leaguers pay when seeking public office, since our top-ranked degrees are liable to come back and bite us in populist, anti-intellectual attack ads.
By: Ismael CatovicLast Wednesday, I awoke to the tragic news of the murder of three college-age Muslim Americans in Chapel Hill, N.C.. Deah Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister, Razan Abu-Salha, 19, were murdered execution-style in their condominium two miles from the UNC campus.
Harvard, Yale and Princeton had been educating America’s elite for 200 years when, in the 1920s, the Big Three began to have a problem: Jews. The problem was especially dire at Harvard, where Jews — nationally, 3 percent of the population — made up 27 percent of the student body by 1925.
Last Tuesday, a gunman entered a private residence and shot and killed three students of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
If all the recent coverage about sexual assault on college campuses has done anything, it has encouraged people to scrutinize more closely the prevalence of sexual assault and the difficulty of bringing justice as well as to brainstorm potential solutions.
The Daily Princetonian recently published a column titled “Teachers who look like us,” written by Tehila Wenger.
In what I can only interpret as a consequence of near-total obliviousness to any sort of criticism provided to her, Susan Patton '77, in an attempt to reassert her relevancy to current discussions on romance and sex, has inserted herself yet again into the national spotlight.

The latest victims of the California measles outbreak are college students.As of Feb.
First things first, I’m not afraid to admit I like Iggy Azalea’s music. I jam to her aggressive lyrics about pageantry (see “Murda Bizness” music video), female empowerment (note the “Kill Bill”allusions in her “Black Widow” video), and her rise against poverty (see “Work”). But when it comes to questions of how her identity affects the entire rap industry as a genre, I am less certain.
The world has been watching Paris, and when Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu told the Jews of France “the state of Israel is your home,” the world understood what he implied: Flee, for you know you are not welcome in France.
When I first came to Princeton, I was convinced there must be a secret underground archery team. I had talked to numerous campus officials, administrators and even students who told me “It sounds familiar” or “I think I’ve heard of them”, and foolish pre-frosh me was too naïve to realize that admissions officers were simply telling me what I wanted to hear.
As University students, we are given access to a wide array of summer internship opportunities. It’s true — we have the International Internship Program, Keller Center internships, Princeton Internships in Civic Service, and several career fairs to help students find external internships independent of these programs.
Why do public school children pledge their allegiance to “one nation under God” every morning despite America’s separation of church and state?
Most of my professors have been women. It’s not a large majority —I have had roughly 8 female professors for every 7 male ones, but that ratio is the highest I’ve heard of among my peers.
If you know me, then you know there are few things in life that make me more uncomfortable than the prospect of singing in public.
It turns out that college students are becoming hermits, particularly freshmen. But seriously, what with only 18 percent spending at least two to three hours per day with friends, their lives have become increasingly hermitic, according to a recent study from the University of California, Los Angeles’s Higher Education Research Institute.
Choosing to study abroad in Barcelona was one of the best decisions I could have made while at Princeton and for a number of different reasons.
