Make yours a 'rights protection life'

Make yours a 'rights protection life'

How appropriate. With reactionary pomp, the White House proclaimed last week "Marriage Protection Week," defining marriage exclusively as a "union between a man and a woman" and calling upon "the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies." Appropriately, the Pride Alliance and LGBT Student Services hosted Awareness Week, and the Princeton Queer Radicals sponsored a love-in at Frist.

Lessons of history for the U.N. presence in Iraq

Amidst the recent hullabaloo over Iraq, there was virtually no mention of a significant (and far from irrelevant) anniversary: July 27th marked fifty years since the end of the Korean War, a particularly brutal and messy conflict which pitched South Korea, the United States and a number of allies (including Britain, France, Turkey and even Colombia) against the armies of North Korea and communist China.

Stopping to smell the leaves as we become seniors again

Autumn is the season of college admissions. Just as the leaves are sure to fall, so too are crowds of high school students sure to descend on campus, littering the walkways like the fallen foliage whose season they share.

Closeted conservatism

As Gay Awareness Week unfolded on this campus last week, several guest writers, regular columnists and letters to the editor addressed important gay rights issues on this page; we published pieces on topics ranging from gay marriage to the Queer Radicals' "Love-In" to one writer's experience at the Toronto Pride Parade.The Opinion Board shares a very strong belief in the importance of gay rights.

The creation and bridging of the East-West divide

I don't remember much about the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was a snow day; I was in my room, humming along to the radio, when my father came in to get me.

The poignant record of Princetonians who served

'Everything I ever learned I don't want to do . . .'

Everything I ever learned I don't want to do, I learned during an internship. Over the past several summers, I've explored a variety of interests and career opportunities and have walked away from each with valuable lessons learned, namely what I can and cannot do for the rest of my life.I began studying to be a gymnast, a world-renowned queen of the balance beam and floor routine.
