Succumbing to sleep in lecture, gracefully

It seems that we’re all asleep most of the time. In my lecture last week, I could identify more than one of each of these types. In fact, when I looked around, the whole room seemed nothing short of comatose.This is not to be mistaken for laziness. This is, in fact, a talent.

Editorial: More food co-ops needed to satisfy growing demand

Last fall marked the opening of the newest of the three dining co-ops, the International Food Co-op (IFC). Even with this addition, however, all three co-ops have already filled to capacity for the upcoming academic year, with dozens of students stranded on the co-ops’ waiting lists. In response to this increased demand, the University should promote the establishment of more co-ops.

Life is ‘Company’

It’s pretty amazing that a musical from the 1970s about the contemporary lives of middle-aged New Yorkers remains relevant today. What’s even more amazing is that it remains relevant for college students in 2010, 40 years after its debut. 

How to think about ‘Israel Apartheid Week’

While I do not challenge the right of people to exercise their free speech or academic freedom to express their views about Israel, I believe the “Apartheid Week” activists have gotten it wrong. Israel is not an apartheid state and does not deserve to be labeled or treated as such.

Beverly Hamilton-Chandler defends the Office of Career Services while Dylan Shinzaki insists that laboratory requirements should stay the way they are.

Bipartisanship begins at home

Today, I would like to congratulate two campus leaders who have worked together, despite ideological differences, to produce positive change in the world beyond the Orange Bubble.

Why we are screening pornography

In the past week, I’ve been approached by dozens of people, all of whom have the same question: “Are you really showing pornography this spring? And is the USG really paying for it?”

Editorial: Bringing back the Greeks

By recognizing the Greek organizations and subjecting them to University regulations, the University can ensure transparency and accountability in Princeton’s Greek life.

Senior spring

We seniors say things like, "It doesn't matter; we're graduating in June," "I'm just looking for a good time" or "Live it up while you can!"

Pushing through midterms, with attitude

It's important to recognize our limitations, but the answer isn't necessarily to do less. Sometimes the answer is to do what we do with a positive attitude.

Health reform is sick again: Is it a chronic illness?

In the ideal world envisaged by left-of-center Americans, the individual's health-care experience would be independent of that individual's socio-economic class. Right-of-center Americans envisage a world in which the individual's use of health care is, in the first place, his or her own financial responsibility.  

Dissent: Pornography and USG funds

Screening of pornography excludes some from the discussion.

A novel alternative to the Street

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.

Terrorized Tigers

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.

Editorial: Pornography and USG funds

The proposed event is a legitimate use of USG money.
