Safety and the Street

The charges filed against the presidents of Tiger Inn, Cottage Club and Cloister Inn for serving alcohol to a minor and maintaining a nuisance have caused student indignation and some Borough satisfaction that they represent the beginnings of a "longterm solution to the problem [of alcohol abuse in the clubs]." As the three clubs consider going off tap indefinitely and the threat of closure to the public hangs over them, there are a few things that University students and the Borough should keep in mind.First, the Borough has both the right and the duty to enforce underage drinking laws when it has the evidence to bring cases against organizations which may have violated those laws.

You've gotta serve somebody

As high school seniors begin to fill out Princeton's college applications, at least a few members of the class of 2012 are busy deciding how best to use 500 words to suck up to admissions officers, detail their many accomplishments and explain the meaning of "in the nation's service and the service of all nations." Perhaps we too should join them in reflecting on our informal motto.

By the dawn's early light

Most mornings I walk to the Wa to get a paper. The campus is usually quiet and deserted, although during big party weekends or Reunions there are sometimes groups of boisterous guys on the Street, barely able to stand upright but full of bonhomie if they know me.

For many upperclassmen, the fall is a time of realization that the "real world" looms after graduation.

Adjusting does not mean forgetting

Where I lived wasn't something I really noticed until I left for college. All of a sudden half of my friends were on the other side of the country, the other half were spread across the East Coast in every state but New Jersey, and one had taken off for Germany.In high school, my only concept of geography was how to get from Santa Monica to the valley without having to deal with traffic on Interstate 405.

Goodbye, old party
