Israel, America, and the challenges of occupation

You could be forgiven for missing an anniversary that slipped by this past weekend: it's been exactly ten years since Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, flanked by a beaming Bill Clinton, shook hands on the White House lawn and embarked on what became know as the Oslo peace process.

Even here, seven-year-olds with no place to sleep

The most common age of a homeless person in this county is seven. When I was seven I was playing coach's pitch baseball, watching Sesame Street and eating three meals a day (assuming my parents could force me to eat breakfast). I certainly was not trying to find a roof for the night or searching for food on the streets.Considering that New Jersey is the richest state (per capita) in the nation, I am proposing that seven-year-olds need not be homeless.

Visa troubles close to home

There were once two girls who grew up in New Jersey. They attended the same school, shared most of their friends, and were remarkably dedicated band geeks.

Back at school, the 'gods of fun' smile again

Well, it's that time again. Welcome freshman! Welcome back everyone else! Whether or not we wanted summer to end, it has, and now it's back to Princeton.

Hang on, Bush — you've got the wrong man!

He didn't do it. There is no good evidence that Saddam Hussein had anything whatsoever to do with the attacks of two years ago.

As senior year begins, finding time to envy frosh

I swore this year would never come. I'll admit, at the beginning of freshman year, things were scary.

Anniversary of a changed world

A year ago today, I found myself at Ground Zero at 8:45 a.m. My friends and I had driven into New York City at the start of our sophomore year at Princeton.

A southern girl's 'Howdy, y'all' to the incoming herds

The herds have arrived. They move in unison, from Wilson to Richardson. Butler to the U-Store. Forbes to Frist.

Intern, or interned?

For many, "back to school" means a return to routine. Classes, books, papers and problem sets will soon erase the fading wisps of summer freedom.

'A few kids, yes — I just never thought I'd have six'

My suite is packed with stereotypes. Then again, seven college female twenty-somethings with backgrounds as comfortable as D.C., exotic as China and backwards as Alabama rewriting the college experience allow for a fair amount of material.Together we're vocal, democratic, religious, athletic, conservative, quiet, studious, artistic, prox-biting, creative, and relatively insane.
