The buzzword du jour on campus is "self-segregation" so I too will add my two cents. Although the recent discussions have centered on self-segregation by Asian Americans on campus, I hope to speak to a larger audience.
Thanking gankGoogle, MapQuest, Citysearch . . . People use search engines and web services without giving it a second thought.
A man named Amiri Baraka occupies the post of poet laureate in New Jersey. Appointed last August to a two-year term, Mr. Baraka might have finished out his tenure in quiet poetic reflection, if not for a particular poem he wrote after the Sept.
I always knew the day would come when the world finally gave duct tape its due. Apparently it has made the transition from a matter of patching leaky pipes to a matter of national security.
Only type A personalities could compete at religious traditions. Today, the morning after Fat Tuesday, Lent arrived comforted only be a couple Advil and the consideration of the absolute necessity of Wednesday lectures.
Responding to criticism: SUV emissions; affirmative action Dear Brian Beck,I appreciate the fan mail, but I am worried that you are not really reading my columns (or at least not all of the words in them) before you respond.
In the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton famously formulated his First Law of Motion, stating that in the absence of outside forces, an object at rest will stay at rest, and a body moving at a constant velocity in a straight line continues doing so indefinitely.

Each year on Alumni Day, the University presents awards to two alumni, one undergraduate, the other graduate, who have given reification to the university's motto of "Princeton in the nation's service and in the service of all nations."

Harvard students are often accused of having inflated egos. We at the Prince are pleased to report, however, that they demonstrate a healthy humility in at least one important area.According to a recent story in the campus paper, which we are not making up, student government leaders in Cambridge have determined that Harvard's dating scene is "pretty poor."
