RCA meal plan revisions

One particularly important part of the administration's strategy to increase cohesiveness on campus is its plan to have Dining Services offer two free meals every week to all upperclassmen next year. The idea behind this initiative is that dining together will narrow the existing gap between upper and underclassmen.

More than a penny for your thoughts

The years 2000 and 2001 were bad for Internet companies. There was so much hype about this e-commerce thing that no company could match expectations.

Respect our clubs?

I enjoy eating-clubs ? they are usually one of Princeton's many excellent elements. Our club system respects those who do not care for the revelry by isolating the party scene to a controlled off-campus setting.

Give independent options

While the eating clubs of Prospect Avenue and the soon-to-be redesigned residential college dining halls have dominated campus discussion of dining options, a significant percentage of upperclassman (over 20 percent) do not eat at either.

The Global Gag Rule: A shameful policy

Princeton Pro-Choice Vox would like to call attention to executive power gone awry. The day President Bush took office, he reimposed the Global Gag Rule, which was initiated by Reagan and revoked by Clinton soon after his inauguration.The Gag Rule, formally known as the Mexico City Policy, requires "nongovernmental organizations [NGOs] to agree as a condition of their receipt of Federal funds that such organizations would neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations." In practice, the Global Gag Rule forces NGOs receiving money from the United States Agency for International Development to cease mentioning abortion, cease referring women seeking abortions to abortion providers and cease providing abortion services with private funding.

Campus journalism

Three recent campus incidents left me thinking about journalism at Princeton. The first was the fiasco that erupted around the faux column The Daily Princetonian wrote mocking rejectee Jian Li, whose feelings of entitlement were rivaled only by the outrage sparked by this article's unintentional racism.

What do they teach in 'professor school'?

This is the time of year when our department begins to interview faculty candidates. Every week we see one or two bright young things (relatively speaking ? they are usually in their late-20s or even mid- 30s) who want to join the academic rat race.

A sense of accomplishment following the recent announcement that 106 freshmen have been slated for Whitman College is tempered by an important caveat.

The daily ritual: a walk down the Street

Walking down Prospect Avenue is something most upperclassmen do multiple times everyday. If we're not walking to meals, we're walking to class.

On the Black Student Union

In the spring of 2006, I was invited to partake in a series of meetings between black student group leaders on campus in order to discuss the possible reformation of Black Leaders on Campus (BLOC). Scheduling conflicts often arose between the black groups on campus, serving to starve most of these organizations of the strong turnout they hungered for, and BLOC was to be a means of coordinating this mash of events.Under the umbrella of the Black Student Union (BSU), BLOC had existed in years past, but for one reason or another it became dormant after a short amount of time.
