Being a Korean citizen has always been a great source of pride for me. I consider South Korea as my mother nation, even after having lived in the United States for more than ten years.
While everyone was paying attention to the presidential election, Maine quietly made history — not when it joined three states in legalizing marijuana, but when it became the first state to adopt ranked choice voting for all elections. Ranked choice voting, or RCV, is a system where voters rank their candidates, starting with their first pick and working down.
I’ll admit that I felt very conflicted about President Eisgruber’s statement about the call to declare Princeton a “sanctuary campus,” or a campus that would not voluntarily assist federal immigration officials in the deportation of undocumented faculty, students, and staff.
The proper response to Donald J. Trump’s election to the Office of the President of the United States of America is to grieve.
Since the fall of 2012, Princeton has instituted a policy in which first-year students are prohibited from affiliating with or rushing fraternities or sororities.
Mr. President ... again. In an upset for the political establishment of both parties as is now eminently clear, Donald Trump bested Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College.
Seven in ten Princetonians will pay thousands of dollars to eat at a mansion on Prospect Avenue. The eating clubs are like Hogwarts houses, each with a unique culture and personality.
Election season is here, and I can hear your collective groan. We’re still recovering from the national trauma of a seemingly never-ending campaign season, and again our doors, walls, and email accounts are plastered with posters demanding of us to exercise our civic right (read: duty) to vote. When I returned to my room late Sunday evening, I found notes from numerous candidates, telling me why they would be the best person for the job or just reminding me that they have a name, they exist, and they really want to represent me.
Last Monday, President Eisgruber circulated a letter to the Princeton community in which he affirmed his and the University’s support of the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program and those members of our community currently protected under it.
At noon today, voting opens in the Undergraduate Student Government’s Winter Elections and will last until noon on Wednesday, December 7.
To President Eisgruber, I am writing in response to the mass email you sent to the student body on Monday regarding DACA.
Starting Sunday, December 4th, USG is piloting a program in Frist to gauge student interest in having free menstrual products available in our public restrooms. Recently, the movement to “free the tampon” has swept the country.
Ten years ago, a white Princeton student was nearly five times as likely as an Asian student to be in a selective eating club.
If you go to the second floor of Frist and walk down the hall of classrooms, you’ll see an exhibit all about the 13th President of Princeton and 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson.
I never understood why old people liked to go on walks. Not even nice walks out in the country or the sunshine, just walks up and down unseemly neighbor streets. But nothing makes you appreciate what you have like losing it.
