Opinion

Incomplete and halfway done

In her April 11column “Ordinary people,” Morgan Jerkins tries to remind us that in spite of the distractions of an overwhelming workload, extracurriculars and the general stress that comes with being a Princeton student, the University allows us the chance to interact with world-renowned scholars and academic legends.

Identity by association

“So, where are you from?” I was first asked this question during International Orientation.

Only "yes" means yes

I went home for a weekend recently and my parents, who I think of as fairly progressive thinkers, were having a dinner party with like-minded friends.

Avoid these worthless classes!

Last week, the University's premier magazine of conservative thought, The Princeton Tory, posted a list (now retracted) of the sort that has become an unfortunate fixture of American conservative publications: a list of worthless college courses.

Editorial: Improving advising

As course selection approaches, students are again faced with the issue of academic advising. The courses students take at the University are integral to their Princeton experience.

Upon reading the April 9tharticle about the University’s response to the informal hosting program, I was dismayed by the quote that read, “They’re not sanctioning the plans necessarily, but they’re not trying to get us to cancel them either.” I believe this line does not accurately define the University’s opinion on the informal hosting efforts.

Ordinary people

It was early Friday morning when I randomly decided to take a shift at Frist Campus Center because one of my commitments had gotten pushed back a few hours. The area was rather quiet, so I decided to get some work done and simultaneously talk to my co-worker, who also happens to be a good friend of mine.

Face(book)-to-face

It’s probably too early for a retrospective. I’m still a freshman, Preview was only yesterday and we have a few weeks to put our labors to rest.

"I hate the humanities!"

During dinner the other day, I overheard two juniors (presumably STEM majors) complaining about having to take humanities courses.

Taking time off

Last Sunday, news broke that a sophomore at Princeton was suing the University for disability discrimination after it allegedly made him withdraw from school following a suicide attempt.

Making the most of shortened preview

With the first Preview happening this Thursday and the second one in a few weeks, Preview is certainly hovering in the minds of students and faculty alike.

Colleges and the liability dilemma

For the past six months, a Yale junior has been threatened with suspension because of her weight.

Prefrosh should know more about eating clubs

Ah, the eating clubs, that uniquely Princeton institution; those sleek, elegant buildings that are the destination of a stately pilgrimage by a huge portion of Princeton Tigers every Thursday, every Saturday and some Fridays too.

Wishing for religion

The earth breathed beneath me, inhaling rain and releasing steam. These exhalations grasped at my legs as I moved by the graveyard, but I continued through the moisture, my eyes trained on the grid of tombstones.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “The willingness to accept the penalty for breaking an unjust law is what makes civil disobedience a moral act and not merely an act of lawbreaking.” While I am currently entangled in a legal battle against an unjust law much different from the one Dr. King was fighting, I strongly believe his words still apply.
