The University should require all professors — not just those who order from Labyrinth — to submit a book list to the registrar no later than the deadline for professors to submit the same list to Labyrinth.
The typical American may still possess that work ethic that Weber claimed as ours, but it is only the kind that leads to rewards for oneself.
I am arguing that the orthodox sexual ethic on campus today has little or nothing to say against incest and youth-adult sexual activity as such.
There is value to having our views challenged and, through argument, strengthened. Whig-Clio debates provide a forum for that.
A brief summary of how the Opinion section works, and how you can apply to be a part of it.
On arming Public Safety and lessons from Ghana.
My fellow Princetonians, I have a solution to eradicating the awkwardness of familiar strangers. It’s called Name Tag Day, and you will love it — or you will be made to love it.
The core mission of the board is to inspire discussion and action. But this is impossible without a constant influx of students with unique perspectives — independent thinkers who are eager to debate and willing to engage with issues important to Princeton.
I don’t understand why there has not been more of an outcry against Adderall use on campus. I understand that ADHD is a medical condition, and I am only addressing usage without a legitimate diagnosis and prescription. Why don’t we care?
It doesn’t matter whether you actually can teach well or not, so long as you go through the motions of teaching for the required amount of classroom time. I suspect that the janitor in my building is held to higher standards for his cleaning than most professors are for their teaching: A previous janitor was removed for not properly carrying out her duties, while I have sat through hopelessly muddled lectures from professors who have been teaching the same course for years, if not decades. There is little accountability of the teaching quality offered by the professors, in part because students don’t demand high-quality teaching.
Since it will be years until the next chance to decide on marriage in New Jersey, what are equality-loving Princetonians to do?
In her recent column “On alcohol,” President Tilghman suggested that dangerous drinking will remain a problem until students stop thinking that “drinking oneself into a stupor that is potentially life-threatening” is cool. This leads to a more obvious question: How the hell did anyone at Princeton ever come to think of such heavy drinking as cool? The answer, in part, is Bicker.
At this time of year, many sophomores and some juniors and seniors are considering one of the more important decisions of their time at Princeton: where they will eat. For some of you, this is a big deal. Since the beginning of your freshman year, you’ve been prodded and primed from all directions to join a particular club, to join with a particular group of people and quite possibly to take steps to increase the likelihood of gaining acceptance to a particular bicker club.
Balancing our identities as Princeton students and ‘Prince’ editors is a constant struggle. We’ll be the first to admit that we’ve made some mistakes.
The faculty had two objectives in adopting the policy. One was fairness. The other was clarity of message.
