On the ritual of course evaluations

'Tis the season once again when Princeton undergraduates confront one of the more momentous decisions they must make in their lives, namely: Should they or should they not fill in the course evaluations distributed to them at the end of their courses?

Taking a major chance

What are you going to major in?" is a question I hear more and more frequently these days. Good question.

That plopping sound you hear is the apocalypse

Eleven seconds into watching "Two Girls, One Cup," I knew that the apocalypse was coming, knew that names would be read aloud and beasts would slouch toward Bethlehem, knew that what I had just seen was not only the precise opposite of civilization, but also the means by which civilization would be destroyed.

The "activism" on our campus is largely a regressive movement.
