Editorial: Second semester rush

While the Editorial Board supports many of the concerns raised in the report, we do not wholly agree with the final recommendation: We believe that banning rush events for only the first semester of freshman year would achieve most of the benefits of postponing rush while avoiding certain problems.

Princeton, in people

For much of my time here, I felt like I wasn’t doing a very good job of making new friends, but in hindsight, I see that all along I’ve picked up people to laugh with, pray with and talk to. It’s cliche to say, but the end of this year really is bittersweet.

Intent and negligence

The “something extra” that my referendum proposes is not just “intent to cheat,” as the Editorial Board implied. That change would obligate the Honor Committee to acquit students for even the most irresponsible failures to learn the policy for an exam — failures that usually create an unfair advantage. My referendum would require that the accused either intends to cheat or that he or she is negligent in learning and interpreting his or her exam policy.

The gift of the freshmen

Talking with freshmen and explaining to them their new home really reminds me of why I decided to come to Princeton in the first place. Everything from the details of course selection to the earth-shattering wonder of late meal is brought back in the retelling.

Spring is sprung

Fall in Princeton is nice, but spring is the best. The weather is getting warmer, the world is young again and everyone can look forward to the end of classes and exams.

Achieving closure

Here is the Wimsey reply: The late professor is sadly no longer with us and his “privacy” has already been breached in the most public way. He was suddenly dismissed from his teaching position at one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

Dealing with ‘it’

We posited that “it” begins at the top, with the administration’s focus on college rankings and the “value of a Princeton degree” and trickles down to student culture. Maybe it’s the nature of the students who the admission office accepts or the nature of the students who choose to enroll. We could not agree on the origin nor could we agree exactly on what “it” is.

The trials of summer funding

While sources for funding are plenty, information about them is decentralized and non-standardized. Often, details and requirements for various grants, awards and opportunities are only spread by word of mouth. Other times they are unclear, not completely transparent or vary greatly across departments.
