Opinion

Paper never dies

David Brooks is definitely right to think that there’s a certain chilling effect among lawyers who want to become federal judges... Nominees since Robert Bork have routinely claimed — with extreme implausibility — that they really don’t know how they would rule on so controversial an issue as Roe v. Wade.

The Linwood I think I remember

On most visits home from school, I haven’t really felt the same way I used to about Linwood. Sure, home is home, and nothing beats my mom’s cooking. But when I drove around town during spring break, the community felt strangely alien to me.

Letter to the Editor: May 14, 2010

The graduate board of Cap & Gown Club is strongly supportive of the report of the Task Force on Relationships between the University and the Eating Clubs and the general thrust of the recommendations. We are delighted by the clear recognition that the clubs are, and should continue to be, a key part of the life of Princeton University.

Parting words

I feel like many Princeton students are a lot like the Heffalump from Winnie-the-Pooh: Their eyes are always so focused on one object that they don’t get the chance to observe or notice the world around them. Broaden your horizon and look around sometime; you go to Princeton! YLIG!

Editorial: The year in retrospect

Grade deflation aside, the University has made great strides this year in collaborating with students and responding to their concerns on a variety of campus issues, and for this should be commended.

Letter to the Editor: May 12, 2010

Your editorial takes issue with a recommendation that the Eating Club Task Force did not make. We did not propose reinstituting multi-club Bicker. What we did propose is an alternative selection process that we believe evokes a central feature of multi-club Bicker—the placement of every student who wishes to be in a club as part of a single process. But this is not the same thing as proposing that students engage in bicker conversations at more than one club.

Trading BoPo for P-safe

Director of Public Safety Paul Ominsky has already begun to engage in conversations with the Princeton Borough about taking over the Street patrol. We — students, administrators and clubs alike — ought give him our unequivocal support.

A relevant memory

Now that the semester is wrapping up, what is worth remembering? How many of our experiences until now still matter to us?

Editorial: Problems with multi-club Bicker

The most prominent of the Task Force's recommendations — re-instituting a multi-club Bicker system — would leave many of the problems with the current process unsolved, and it should not be implemented.

The countdown

I have become obsessed with looking forward to the next moment of fulfillment. Everything I do seems only to be setting the stage for a future spectacular event.

What the ‘Prince’ prints

In other words, the fact that ‘Prince’ discourse is not by itself sufficient to bring about meaningful change on campus should not distract us from that fact that having a permanent, socially accepted, more-or-less trusted print forum is an indispensable cog in the larger machine that, when operating properly, does bring about meaningful change.
