We thank those of our critics on other campuses who spoke on the record ("NES dept. faces warring factions," Dec.
We at University Health Services agree with Katherine Reilly ('We need a new Bryant-Davis,' Jan. 5) that the departure of Thema Bryant-Davis from SHARE has left a void this semester, particularly in the area of educational outreach around issues of sexual harassment.
Anonymous professors should pay attention to University regulationsRegarding "NES dept.
Thema Bryant-Davis is gone. For many students, her name may not mean anything, her absence even less.
I am going to be honest. I had a very difficult time writing this column. At this point, the piece has gone through four entirely different drafts in the same number of days.
Regarding 'Swastika, broken glass discovered in Dod Hall' (Dec. 8):I am deeply disturbed by this incident, both as a Jew and as a member of the Princeton community.
As a lieutenant colonel with a car, a chauffeur and access to foreign goods, Yong Kim was a member of North Korea's privileged class.
I take issue with all the "work" we are allegedly doing at Princeton. For the physics geeks, no, I'm not talking about force times distance, I'm taking about useful actions taken for reasons other than padding a resume, personal enjoyment or a misplaced sense of pride in being a "hard worker."To refer to some recent commentary on the phenomenon, one need only allude to David Brooks's infamous article on Princeton students, "The Organization Kid," or open the pages of the 'Prince' where you can sometimes find pieces like Kyle Meng's Nov.
Matt Margolin '05 began his USG term with most students disillusioned with student government. For several years, students had heard big talk and seen little payoff.
I don't believe Thefacebook.com is nearly as dangerous as Emily Stolzenberg suggests ('Profiling Thefacebook.com,' Dec.

Last spring, we expressed reserved support of the University's proposal to combat grade inflation.
After reading about anti-Americanism abroad in both the Prince and other less prominent newspapers, I felt the need to address the issue in a column.
Regarding 'USG vote encounters problems' (Dec. 6):I was disappointed to read about the USG's witch-hunt of vice presidential candidate Freddy Flaxman '07.
Peter Applebome's Dec. 1 New York Times article, "On Campus, Hanging Out by Logging On," examined Princeton students' love affair with Thefacebook.com. And we're not alone ? the site is now "the most popular way to either network or waste time for a million college students at around 300 colleges." The site's ubiquity, however, raises several more serious concerns that students, in their excitement over this new form of interaction, tend to ignore.A Thefacebook.com profile is often an exercise in openness.
As the holiday season comes 'round again, traffic backs up and checkout lines surge, I can't help but remember back before Christmas was less about finding the perfect gift and more about having the best experience.
I was surprised and disappointed to read that The Daily Princetonian endorses Shaun Callaghan '06 for USG president ('Callaghan '06 takes aim at practical, important goals,' Editorial, Dec.
If we were endorsing a candidate for president of the United States this December, we would happily support Leslie-Bernard Joseph '06.
