The University must take a more active role in informing students and making the process of voting easier and thus more appealing to busy Princeton students.
Cannon needs to build itself more slowly. It needs to grow a positive culture in which sophomores want to invest themselves, to create a thriving club. Scavenging for paying bodies is a bad strategy; instead, Cannon’s members must figure out what they want for the club and build up to that goal.
We need to move away from the objectification of sex as something to attain and toward a norm of seeking enthusiastic consent — when one’s sexual partner not only doesn’t say no, but says yes.
The measuring stick of the minutiae we use to evaluate our problems takes our attention from the greater issues we seek to solve.
It’s pretty easy to “sell out” when selling doesn’t require buying.
I want the University to tell us that the real motivation behind this shift is that they just have it in for Greek life.
As we have argued in the past, a gender-neutral option should be extended to all upperclassman housing.
Lights up on Wu Dining Hall at dinnertime. Four friends sit around a table. It’s Saturday evening and dark outside...
I am skeptical that there is much that can be said universally about sexual ethics. Many claim that sex has the natural purpose of procreation, and thus all non-procreative sex is unacceptable. Yet cancer, rape and war certainly seem more natural parts of the human experience than marriage for love or disease control, if we look to history.
Take a foreign language. Study what you love, but figure out what you want to do with yourself at the end of four years and be prepared to do it. Fiercely guard your free time. Sleep. Eat. Exercise. Soak up every minute of this beautiful campus and the people here.
Those who virulently oppose the Bicker process should bear in mind how much of our society, and especially our university, is predicated on exclusion. West College is always proud to announce year after year record-low admittance rates, which can be directly translated into more and more students being rejected every year.
Though there are certainly admirable qualities to studying what you love and are passionate about, we must also consider the political and economics landscape in which we live. This is bad news for people like me, who favor the humanities as a matter of both interest and ability.
The late-night study session is a near-unavoidable element of student life at Princeton. We certainly don’t deny that we’re pampered already — but through some simple changes, the University can significantly improve the experience of night owls across campus.
All this is a reminder of how dependent we are on infrastructure without which we can’t operate at all, let alone enjoy the services that we take for granted.
