Editorial: Award fall thesis funds earlier

ODOC encourages those planning fall break trips to ensure the thoroughness of their applications, promising to prioritize the review of those applications. But following this compressed schedule, students often do not find out whether funding has been awarded until one or two weeks before they are set to travel.

Finding Snooki at Princeton

Princeton has traditionally staked its reputation on the most studious among us, but that whole boy-genius routine is passe. What Princeton needs now is some ridiculous bar fights, love affairs and fake tans. We need a Snooki.

Letters to the Editor: Nov. 17, 2010

Tori Jueds and Cole Crittenden elaborate on University policy in the aftermath of the Tyler Clementi tragedy and Scott Fountain criticizes Borough Police practices.

Ignorance is bliss

Limiting the number of people in the know helps to keep situations contained. The bomb scare at Palmer Square was practically a non-event.

This one's for the girls

This doesn’t mean that as women we need to aggressively claw our way through the patriarchy until we get our due, but if we want a change, sometimes we need to be bold.

Getting proactive on stress

Although our countless programs, superior academics and admirable collegiate atmosphere make us one of the most highly ranked schools in the world, it simply cannot be overlooked that Princeton has a culture of stress.

Cultural capital and cultural capitalism

Even if globalization has made it somewhat impossible to remain an isolated society in today’s world, modern politics and culture are creating new forms of cultural separation.

Editorial: Hold Honor Committee elections

To improve the current selection process, a separate election should be held at the beginning of the fall semester to select Honor Committee members from the sophomore, junior and senior classes.

Would you own up to cheating?

Cheating is definitely not something limited to large public schools like UCF. That is why it is foolish to have an honor code based on our sense of “morality” as Princeton students. Being a Princeton student doesn’t make us any more moral or less prone to cheating than other college students. 

Editorial: An even better way to P/D/F

The University's change has eliminated one aspect of the old P/D/F policy that should be reinstated: rescinding the P/D/F grading option.

Legacy for a day

By giving legacies a slight advantage in admissions, the University is allowing a reasonable advantage to students who already have an emotional connection with Princeton.

Without direction

We could all use a little better advice before plunging into the Princeton Jungle.

The ‘social’ network

Think about the last time you ran into a member of a prestigious campus group or exclusive eating club. Were you not nicer, warmer and faker to him or her than you would have been to someone who had no such affiliations? How often do you spend precious Princetonian minutes reaching out to someone new, truly without ulterior motives?

The Organization Kid at 10

A decade after Brooks visited here, it’s worth asking if the essential characteristics of Generation Y have changed. Assuredly to his disappointment, I don’t think they have.

Exploring leadership at Princeton

After a year working on the Steering Committee on Undergraduate Women’s Leadership, we are both convinced that leadership is an issue that we all need to talk about, because it’s about far more than just getting more women to become eating club officers, or convincing men to join the Pace Council for Civic Values.

Young Americans, young Americans

Moving beyond turnout, the underlying problem that must be addressed is disenchantment with electoral politics.
