It would be hard not to notice all the construction that is going on around campus. From Whitman College to the new neuroscience and arts buildings, it is clear that the University is finally providing the space students need when it comes to dorm and academic life.
Artistic representations of the delicate nature of suicide require extraordinary tact, sensitivity and sensibility ? all of which are lacking in Casey Alexander's new film project "gamefish."Alexander takes no pains to hide the fact that his film is supposed to be a commentary on the suicide of Manzili Davis '06. Though there is nothing necessarily wrong with making a film about a student suicide ? though perhaps it is a little too soon to be airing a film about one on Princeton television ? fault certainly does lie in the complete absence of any accreditation on the part of the director.To make matters worse, by his own admission, Alexander failed to notify any members of the Davis family ? an inexcusable act.
Holidays often involve some form of theft. The Grinch stole Christmas, and Halloween stole Princeton's colors.
I awaited Brown University's report on its 18th-century ties to slavery with great interest.

Diversity nonsense is getting out of handRegarding 'Admissions edge for LGBT applicants?' (Monday, Oct.
Perhaps some of you saw the pictures of aborted children along Washington Road on Monday afternoon. I thought the pictures were terrible and extremely saddening ? dismembered babies cannot be otherwise.It is important that the Princeton community know (since it was not made clear in Tuesday's Daily Princetonian article) that Repent America did not notify me nor anyone else that I know of in Princeton Pro-Life, about their plans.
Cocky as I was with that personal Thai translator and fancy laptop, it was hard for me to interview Chalida.
In some respects, the news from North Korea is an expression of a larger problem. To be sure, there are grave nuclear issues surrounding Iran, and the situation in Iraq has little chance of meaningful improvement.The "larger problem" that we face is also one without any tangible boundaries, but there the resemblance ends.
Last summer, the reproductive freedom of American women was very nearly eviscerated.Ortho-McNeil, the primary manufacturer of oral contraception in the United States, approved an 1,800-fold increase in the price at which it sold birth control to family planning clinics.
Princeton students are lucky enough to have some of the most prominent figures in government, business and other fields visit the campus to speak.
Let's face it: being a freshman is not easy. Between trying to find your niche in a completely new environment and coping with the physical and emotional separation from home, it's a wonder that (most) of the incoming students manage to keep their sanity.You deal with the same questions all and every day: "Hi, what's your name?
