PriCom should give workers top priority

PriCom should give workers top priority

Although the Workers' Rights Organizing Committee has built up a formidable group of supporters since its formation last November ? hundreds of students and workers, over 90 faculty members, religious leaders, local politicians and alumni ? it has so far forced only one change in University policy.

Prince' has no right to designate Horowitz as a racistI read with interest your "To Our Readers" opinion referencing the publication of David Horowitz's controversial ad in Wednesday's 'Prince,' and was ready to commend you for your stance on free speech, so readily abdicated by the editorial boards of campus newspapers at prominent universities.However, I must take issue with your thoughtless appraisal of Mr. Horowitz as a racist (to be exact, your statement that the 'Prince' will not "profit from Mr. Horowitz's racism."). This is a serious charge you have chosen to make, and you have done so at great peril to your credibility unless you are able to demonstrate that either the ad or Mr. Horowitz is racist.I have read the ad, and while I agree that it is controversial, confrontational in tone and cannot possibly "tell the complete story" (who could purport to do so in 1,200 words?), I do not believe it to be racist.

That's lazy-specific, not apathetic, Mr. Brooks

I usually read The Atlantic Monthly to learn more about myself. Sometimes I'm just not sure what motivates me or what my agenda is.

A time to consider what lies on the other side of the fence

The benefit of a university environment is the ability to debate any topic under the sun. Race relations, poverty, current events ? there is always some dialogue on campus pitting two (or more) opposing sides against each other in order to flesh out the intricacies of a certain topic or subject matter.

A message to our readers

David Horowitz's advertisement, "Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery is a Bad Idea ? and Racist Too," is an offensive piece of work.

Fearing the people factories

A few weeks ago, I claimed that cloning was small moral peanuts in comparison to our neglectful treatment of nonhuman organisms and future generations in environmental issues such as global climate change ("Created in Our Image," March 6). My position should not be mistaken for one that condones cloning humans.

The Borough's alcohol ordinance

The alcohol ordinance that was sent to the Princeton Borough Council last Friday will likely do very little to end underage drinking at Princeton.

Just like peas and carrots

For the Supremely Motivated Self-Starting Student, the senior thesis is an opportunity to shine ? a chance to show the world what comes of four years of training at Princeton University, a chance to contribute to the academic body of knowledge, a chance to learn something about life.For me, it has been an intimidating and lethal obstacle that has shown me how to empathize with Dubya.I have to say, this is a slightly uncomfortable feeling for me, as I'm not especially a fan of Dubya.

Horowitz's inexperience hinders his refutation of reparation cause

The plan to distribute reparations to African Americans for past injustices carries many merits but some shortcomings as well.

Why Horowitz overlooked Princeton

David Horowitz has never lost his desire to shock.The "red-diaper baby" of Communist parents, Horowitz spent his youth as an ally of the Black Panthers, creating mayhem and protesting that black men could never get a fair trial in the United States.Then the Black Panthers murdered one of his friends, and suddenly the criminal justice system didn't look so bad.

How dare you call me a power tool

May I vent? I would just like to say for the record that I am not "a power tool." I do not appreciate being informed by a man with a skewed impression of the typical Princeton student that my "workaholic" habits are the product of my need to build a perfect resume.
