Leaving memories behind for old ones

When class ended at the end of October, I was more than ready to go home for fall break. A week of midterms and writing papers had left me stressed out, sleep-deprived, mentally drained and in desperate need to unwind from the busy life I had been leading at Princeton.

More important matters

At a recent Princeton Borough Council meeting, Councilman Roger Martindell proclaimed that the Borough Police were among the most "underworked and overpaid" in the country. This statement came one day after the arrest of three Borough and Township residents in connection with 10 recent Borough break-ins, including ones that occurred on-campus. The three men in question are suspected members of the Salvadoran gang Mara Salvatrucha, otherwise known as MS-13.To the great fortune of all Princeton residents, the incidents in question only involved the theft of laptops, credit cards and jewelry.

HPV vaccine for women and men

Preventing cancer in thousands of Americans every year is a good thing, right? When one examines the case of the new HPV vaccine in the United States, the unexpected answer appears to be, "not yet, maybe later." If you are unlucky enough to be a woman over the age of 26 or even unluckier to be a man, you are currently most likely missing out on getting this vaccine.

Where have the Michael Jordans gone?

Everyone grew up with a childhood sports hero to look up to. Mine was Michael Jordan. I loved the way he graced the basketball court with his extraordinary talent, the way he sometimes singlehandedly took over games to lead his team to victory and the way he always managed to perform in the clutch when it seemed as if the entire city of Chicago had throw its weight onto his shoulders.
