Editorial: Not time for a chastity center

In providing condoms and counseling, Princeton acts not to endorse any viewpoint but rather to respond to vital and inevitable health concerns. In this regard, claiming that the provision of such services endorses a sexual ethos is akin to claiming that the provision of antibiotics endorses getting sick.

In defense of monogamy

Too much of the sexual ethics debate at Princeton is polarized, with images of the Center for Abstinence and Chastity on one hand and images of an imagined world of syphilis-ridden, vice-laden casual sex on the other.

Saying 'so long' to the Sarnoff Library

Despite TCNJ’s willingness to house the Sarnoff’s collections and integrate them into their curriculum, they still need $100,000 to cover the cost of renovations. It is my hope that New Jersey lawmakers will be able to secure these funds and prevent this material from leaving the state.

Printing for the right reasons

But why do we really need OIT to introduce a quota to tell us we’re being ridiculous? Why are we so obsessed with printing?

Taking a break

Taking time off can be scary at first. I spent another month doubting my decision. Was I being weak? Was I taking the cowardly way out? Was I wasting a precious year of my life?

Why did he sketch those cartoons?

Westergaard critically weakened his own case when he claimed that he did not want to say what the cartoon clearly declares: that Islam is a violent religion. If he didn’t want to say this, then he was being recklessly stupid.

Editorial: Minimizing precepts

Nassau Hall’s recent decision to strictly enforce the policy that precepts should have no fewer than 12 students is jeopardizing the quality of precepts.

Giving classes a second life

The University should continue its commitment to innovative technologies by sponsoring a program modeled after MITs OpenCourseWare project.

Admissions about admissions

If a white kid and an Asian kid both get a 1460 on their SATs, why should the white kid get in over the Asian kid almost every time? If, all other things being equal, the elite university picks the white kid every time, then something is wrong.

A center for all students

The center would make Princeton a friendlier place for chastity and abstinence. This change in campus culture would ease the social pressure to have sex and create a viable social alternative to a culture that puts sex on par with a handshake.

The, like, totally weird “Y = C + I + G + X - M”

Giving all American kids first-rate health care, along with a first rate education — even if it involves government spending (G) — would for the most part be a solid investment in the future of labor productivity.

What a difference a year makes

What surprised me most about reading my first 'Prince' column again was how little flak I took for ideas that I now think are seriously misguided. Since then, I’ve come to realize that Princeton’s residential college system does, in fact, work fairly well.
