Covering all the bases, so to speak

For a course in research methods, I recently found myself critiquing a study titled "Watching Sex on Television Predicts Adolescent Initiation of Sexual Behavior" from the journal Pediatrics. Conducted two years ago by researchers at the Rand Corporation, the study concluded that "watching sex on TV ... may hasten adolescent sexual initiation."Studies of this sort often have trouble separating cause from effect.

Make discipline public

In the recent USG election, one theme dominated the discussion of the presidential candidates. From the pages of The Daily Princetonian to the candidate forum held last week, the disciplinary records of Grant Gittlin '08 and Rob Biederman '08 were the hot topics of conversation.

On a recent episode of "South Park," in between typically outrageous sex scenes between the distinguished British evolutionist and the post-op transsexual fourth-grade teacher, Eric Cartman froze himself in ice.

Erasing the misconceptions

First off, I would like to thank the University and the Board of Trustees for doing what was right and necessary: creating the new club financial aid plan. From the start of my Princeton career, I was always told that I could do whatever I wanted at the University; money would not be an issue.

A new age for the clubs and the University: Tiger Inn

I applaud the University's decision to increase the financial aid package. Making the eating club option more affordable to a greater ? and more diverse ? range of Princeton students is in everyone's best interests.

Financial aid, Bicker and better info

The members of Nassau Hall, West College and Prospect Avenue responsible for increasing University financial aid to cover the cost of eating club meal contracts deserve both praise and genuine thanks from Princeton students past, present and future.

A new age for the clubs and the University: Cottage

The University Cottage Club enthusiastically supports the University's decisions to increase grants for all students who receive financial aid and to provide all juniors and seniors on financial aid with sufficient support to enable them to cover the average cost of membership in an eating club. We believe removing financial barriers for financial aid students who might like to consider joining clubs benefits both the students and the eating clubs.

A new age for the clubs and the University: Cloister

The agreement reached between the University and the eating clubs that creates new shared-meal options and boosts financial aid is a landmark achievement. All who contributed to the dialogue and debate over the several past years should be proud of their efforts.To view this agreement as a culmination, however, would be shortsighted; rather, it opens a gateway to future possibilities.

Defending the collegiate press

The sounds of music

Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony."The iPod has been an enormous success: 60 million have been sold, and even a short walk around campus suggests that thousands of those sales have been to Princeton students, for whom the distinctive white earbuds are the path through which the sounds of music creep.In mid-October, Newsweek interviewed Steve Jobs, founder and CEO of Apple, for the fifth anniversary of the iPod.

One of the top five deadliest places on earth

Is Iraq in civil war, and does it matter whether we define the conflict that way or not? I believe the answer to the first question is clearly yes.
