What the ‘Prince’ prints

In other words, the fact that ‘Prince’ discourse is not by itself sufficient to bring about meaningful change on campus should not distract us from that fact that having a permanent, socially accepted, more-or-less trusted print forum is an indispensable cog in the larger machine that, when operating properly, does bring about meaningful change.

Reasoning away the devil

Each time we discuss hazing at Princeton, we miss the forest for the trees.

PrinceCast #31: Dean's Date edition

Sophia LeMaire and Michael Medeiros discuss the stress surrounding Dean's Date and potential reforms to the Reading Period schedule.

The Dean's Date ride

Listen my children and you will hear,/The TRUE story of one Mr. Paul Revere

Editorial: Misery loves company

As the University?s deadline for written work approaches and students begin their mad rush to complete Dean?s Date assignments, there is a hush across the campus.

Meeting the nation's Critical Needs

Princeton only offers courses in seven of the State Department’s 21 Super Critical Needs and Critical Needs Languages.

The column I should have written

The personal and social consequences of pornography’s ubiquity render the extremely specific question of feminist porn an interesting, but unimportant, distraction.

In pursuit of intellectualism

We place a great deal of emphasis on being open to other cultural experiences, religious practices, ideals, opinions and principles. This is, of course, a good thing — but in moderation.

Is Goldman Sachs going up in smoke?

Few cognoscenti believe that the behavior at issue is just a Goldman thing. At its center is a change in the business model of the entire banking industry and, with it, the nouveau business ethic that now seems to drive Wall Street in general.

Freedom of homosexual expression

At Princeton, it’s okay to be “out” — as long as you’re not gay about it. Boys should only hold hands in the final stretch of their 3:30 a.m. walk home from the Street, and same-sex dancing should only occur among straight girls. After all, gays are meant to be “tolerated,” not seen or heard.

Letters to the Editor: May 3, 2010

Yoel Bitran rebuts Rivka Cohen's letter to the editor about the definition of Israel as an apartheid state and Emily Rutherford criticizes a columnist's plug for his own event.

PrinceCast #30: Lawnparties edition

Columnist Jacob Reses joins senior editorial board member Matt Butler to discuss the future of greek organizations on campus, a feminist pornographer's talk on campus and lawnparties bands this weekend.

Moralizing on frat socializing

The heart of the problem with the vitriol from the people who generally resent those in Greek organizations is that it’s clear they either don’t understand or refuse to acknowledge the benefits conferred on students.

Feminism, porn and dignity

Like any good corporation, Pink Visual is divided into wholesale and retail. The products on offer do not appear to be substantially different. The decor in retail is more overtly Sapphic: not romantic lesbianism in the spirit of the Greeks, but a straightforward backdrop of naked girls licking each other and arching their backs. And Vivas wonders why men are among her best customers?

Editorial: Greek policing going national

National representatives have a responsibility to ensure that Greek life at Princeton represents a safe and responsible social opportunity for all students, and they should increase their involvement with the administration of individual Greek chapters on campus.
