I find New York fascinating, but I’ve only been three times because getting there is such a time commitment and because paying $22 each time adds up quickly.
We must not let our differences of opinion restrain us from talking about the threat that we face. The little awkward silence when the talk of terrorism comes up, the fear that one is being stereotyped, the feeling that we are being threatened must go.
When senior guard and co-captain Marcus Schroeder stepped to the free throw line for the third time on Saturday night, the men’s basketball team trailed Harvard by one point with 57 seconds left on the clock.
The proposed event is a legitimate use of USG money.
In light of economic and academic benefits, senior faculty members should seriously consider the University's new retirement plan and take up the University’s offer. Given the positive impact this program can have on the University, it is equally important that administrators firmly commit to it.
We should take some cues from the American penal system and adopt a more hierarchical sentencing approach. If the Honor Code is going to be the law of our land, we need to make sure that it is as fair as possible and that it is upheld with honor.
As a solution to the problem of matching people to the right club, I prefer a social meritocracy deciding my dining options over a computer algorithm doing the same task.

Under the current system, deserving students like Dan-el Padilla are routinely denied opportunities because of their parents’ actions.
The average effectiveness of our organizations would increase dramatically if more students were to think critically about how they could help existing organizations improve instead of starting their own clubs.
Just as Spanish conveys thoughts that can never be expressed in English, we need a Princetonian GPA to convey grading standards that could never be expressed in the languages of any of our peer schools.
Lauren Clark discusses the connectedness of students on campus, while Isabel Flower critiques the publication of Neagu's column and Jacob Denz calls for a clear definition of consent.
While Princeton’s diverse student body rarely unifies around a single issue, nearly every student seems to have rallied against grade deflation. This forces advocates of the policy — well, the few that exist — to always be on the defensive, addressing only the apparent negatives of grade deflation without discussing the benefits.
The Student Aid and Financial Responsibility Act is in some ways a step forward on making higher education affordable, but it’s also a step back on the more important question of government’s role. In other words, we’re trying to fix one problem but are worsening another one.
