Letter to the Editor: August 21, 2014

To the editor, I’m glad that The Daily Princetonian has evinced an interest in the research the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies is doing — in fact, this work has a long history of connection to Princeton; Peter Lewis ’55, one of the university’s historically most generous donors and namesake of Lewis Library, was also a major donor to MAPS prior to his death last year.

An account of sexual assault at the P-Rade

I saw what you did on Saturday at the P-Rade, and it repulsed me. I was walking with my classmates and our families down campus in the P-Rade, when you yelled “TEEEEE EYE” to get the attention of the young lady from the Class of 2014 who was walking with her parents near me.

The limitations of privacy

It was a bright cold day in May, and the clocks were striking 14-and-a-half, as a crowd full of Princeton students, alumni, teachers and relatives filtered into McCosh 50 yesterday to hear the panel “Big Brother is Watching: Is Privacy a Thing of the Past or Can It Be Reclaimed?” moderated by Princeton professor Ed Felten.

Research and real life

The Alumni-Faculty Forums are perhaps the most undervalued part of Reunions. These panel-led discussions capitalize on the wealth of backgrounds and bodies of knowledge that Princetonians bring to the table to discuss some of the most pressing and most intriguing issues we face today.

Beyond 'having it all'

Princeton tradition defines Reunions. And although female alums are excluded from some of Princeton’s older traditions, the women on campus this weekend have formed their own legacy over the last 40 years.

The relevance of pop culture to academia

Between the raging and revelry, Reunions can also give former University students an opportunity to revisit their academics.

Letter to the Editor: May 12, 2014

We write to clarify statements in a recent Daily Princetonian article titled “U. modifies definitions of sexual assault.” The article reported on revisions to Rights, Rules, Responsibilities that were approved last week by the Council of the Princeton University Community.

Wrongheadedness in Condoleezza Rice fight at Rutgers

Last week, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice decided against speaking at Rutgers University’s commencement ceremony.

Is Princeton a selfish endeavor?

We often speak about the importance of thinking outside the Orange Bubble — what about popping it? Our four years at Princeton produce many memories: lunches with friends, late nights in Firestone Library, learning and growing from different extracurricular activities and sports.

I am not my privilege

Writing this letter took a lot of courage, especially after seeing all of the ad hominem attacks and ridicule directed at Tal Fortgang ‘17 in response to his article in the Princeton Tory.

More than the one percent

Recently, Princeton has been the subject of bad press. Our most noted alumni include a First Lady who refuses to come to campus, a controversial senator who may have led a government shutdown and Susan Patton (whom I have no words to describe). To the media and general public, Princeton University is diseased — and not just by bacterial meningitis.

Be brave

I wanted to remain in denial a little while longer, even though I knew this moment had been coming for quite some time.

Letter to the Editor: Why men should talk about sexual assault

Given the recent columns in The Daily Princetonian, “Rape Culture exists here, too” and “Speaking Up,” it is evident that sexual assault is a problem on campus.

In response to Tal Fortgang

Dear Tal Fortgang and the Princeton University Community: Welcome to the fun house world of American mainstream media’s obsession with caricatured versions of campus identity politics.

Editorial: Increasing female leadership on the Street

A recent piecepublished in Nassau Weekly detailed the lack of female officers in the eating clubs.

Princeton is so much more than schooling

I sat to write this column, my final in this paper, and drew blank after blank. There is simultaneously so much to say about my time at the University and no good way of saying it.

Rape by any other name is still rape

“Rapists are here! Stop protecting them!” There were a lot of words written on The Surface, an interactive art project for class VIS 439: Art as Interaction where students could write anything on four panels over the past few weeks, but few phrases lasted very long before the next person came along and painted over them.

Minding your manners

It’s surprisingly easy nottobe a jerk. All it takes is a shred of self-consciousness and a degree of shame and humility.
