Much left to be done: U. must rededicate itself to reaching minority students

When I was recently asked by 'Prince' editors to prepare a column on something to do with "race relations" on campus, in conjunction with Black History Month or the recent student survey, I was initially uninspired.

When it comes to laundry, etiquette matters

I don't think anyone enjoys doing laundry, especially not us college kids. However, at least in theory, laundering one's clothes does not have to be a painful process.

Joseph's e-mail to student body takes wrong tone

We are optimistic that new USG president Leslie-Bernard Joseph '06 will succeed in achieving his vision of a more civic-minded student body.

Alumni can be found in all sorts of places

I am occasionally asked how it was that, more than a decade ago now, I came to start writing a column for the "Princetonian." The answer is that an enterprising editor cajoled me into writing with the argument that a faculty columnist might help reanimate the kinds of informal student-faculty interchange that in my early years were a treasured part of the Princeton undergraduate experience.

Nass 'Top 10' goes too far

I find it hard to believe that the editors of the Nassau Weekly actually thought that an article titled the "Top 10 Holocaust movies I've never seen but would like to" would be received, out of all things, as funny.

On campus, publications should print without fear

Embroiled in the recent controversy over the Nassau Weekly's publication of the "Top 10 Holocaust movies I've never seen but would like to" list are several issues of extreme importance to the Princeton community ? in particular, the role of the University in funding campus publications and monitoring their content.We can certainly understand why people would be offended by the content of the article in question.

Dr. Dean is just what the DNC ordered

I wanted Howard Dean to be president. To admit this in November would have been a sin, a break in Democratic unity tantamount to voting for President Bush.

Kissing chivalry good-bye

At Princeton, I've grown used to meeting guys who play varsity sports, write for national newspapers, win Intel Science awards and who spit large amounts of phlegm on the sidewalk as I approach them.

Survey results are a beginning, not an end

Due to the the USG's race relations survey, Princeton now has more data about the current state of diversity on campus than it has ever had before.

A series of unfortunate events

Now that the magical room draw season is approaching again, I wanted to share a few of my heartwarming experiences, and use them to semicoherently suggest some reforms in our process.The summer before coming to Princeton, when I was basking in the same sense of blatant superiority that we all felt, I actually took note of one of the thousand windbag letters I received from the University.

Letter to the Editor: Situation in NES department is not black and white

The Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2004, article "NES dept. faces warring factions" depicts the field of Near Eastern Studies as divided between "Lewisian" and "Saidian" camps.

Letter to the Editor: Race relations survey has flaws, misleading questions

While the USG should be commended for its efforts in completing the campus-wide race survey, many of the survey's questions were misleading and some truly fundamental points were not addressed at all.Administrators and USG members were troubled by aspects of the race survey focusing on self-segregation, as 94 percent of respondents believed that "exclusive socializing exists at Princeton." This result, however, has absolutely nothing to do with race, the topic of the survey; often, students group together not based on race but on common interests ? varsity or club sports, for example.
