Don't mention the 'Big T' around seniors

Let the countdown begin. Friday marked the six-week point before my thesis is due. This quintessentially Princeton event, designed to force the liberal arts undergraduate to specialize in one particular area, has made me realize several contradictory things.

Confronting life, dealing with death

My grandpa died one month and four days ago. He died choking while eating. With no one else in the house, he passed away 4 a.m.

Benefits of student body expansion outweigh costs

The university will enlarge its undergraduate population by some 500 students over the next few years.

Campus controversies open up space for dialogue

Within the space of about a week, the University campus witnessed three political-correctness scandals: the infamous Nassau Weekly Holocaust list, the "Love = Love" Pride Alliance posters and Tiger Magazine's KKK references.

Fighting apathy, inspiring service

From Friday, Feb. 18 to Sunday, Feb. 20, hundreds of students at Penn State danced ? or at the very least stayed awake and on their feet ? for 48 straight hours.

Reinventing the student I.D. card

It's 2 a.m. on a Sunday, and you're heading back to your dorm from a night at the Street. A friend suggests a stop at U-2 to stock up on post-Street snacks and you eagerly agree ? that is until you reach the U-Store and realize you only have your University ID on you.

Reimagining our cities, ourselves

In a country where nearly 40 million men, women and children live in poverty, it is almost impossible for us to conceive of an America free of destitution.

With Summers as president, the joke's on Harvard

Among the maxims of La Rochefoucauld is one that claims that there is something in the misfortunes of even our friends that is not entirely displeasing to us.

Moving forward

I wanted my first column as USG president to discuss civic engagement, but right now other matters have become central.

Fear and Loathing in Princeton

We were somewhere around 1879 Arch, on the corner of Prospect, when the drinks began to take hold.The ringing in my ears rose to a shrill pitch, and suddenly I was surrounded by what looked like a choir caught in a maelstrom, their voices mixing into some frightening harmony, and a voice was screaming, "Holy Jesus, we've stumbled into A Chorus Line!"

Changes needed to fix post-enrollment problem

Being a graduate student at Princeton University is a mixed blessing. On the upside, you're at a topnotch research institution with relatively few other grad students vying for a share of the faculty's time and grants.

A shortage of righteous indignation

For the sake of my school, my country, and my faith in humankind, I hope the entire Pride Alliance had the flu.This source of debilitation is the only way I can explain the group's apparent impotence when, as the 'Prince' reported, its gay-themed Valentine's Day fliers were pulled last week.

Democrats miss the boat with Dean

One week ago, Katherine Reilly used this space to celebrate the election of Howard Dean to the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Her column deserves a response from a Democrat who is less than thrilled by Governor Dean's most recent rise to prominence.The premise of Reilly's argument is that Dean was a candidate whom Democrats could actually admire ? not some bland equivocator (read: John Kerry) who could scarcely be distinguished from his opponent.
