This kind of humor can't please everyoneRegarding 'Joke oped sparks ire, controversy' (Friday, Jan.
We have that recent "Lian Ji" joke op-ed. Several members of the Asian-American community at Princeton are trying to seek justice for the op-ed's bad humor.
I don't know for certain whether or not the "surge" of combat troops into Iraq is going to work.
As alumni who care deeply about this University, we are profoundly disappointed by the "joke" issue of The Daily Princetonian published last Wednesday.Over the last several days, we have received a flood of emails from our alumni community and current students expressing outrage, disgust, offense, hurt and embarrassment about the op-ed littered with Asian stereotypes. Worse still, while many withheld judgment initially, they were then further angered that the subsequent editorial note did not acknowledge an error of judgment or convey true remorse.Let us be clear.
Having often contributed to The Daily Princetonian on contemporary social issues of great moment, we nonetheless sense an obligation in conscience to opine on the most pressing question of our day (admittedly, it was a relatively boring day). Our appeal extends to every Princetonian of will, good or ill.When Princeton's painfully prolonged exam period has passed, we shall be granted one week of joy, free of the shadows cast by undone assignments and posturing peers.
As the implementation of the four-year residential college system draws near, the University faces many decisions that have a major bearing on the future of student life at Princeton.

January marks both the end of the fall semester and the twilight of the USG presidential term. In what has become an annual tradition, the Editorial Board of The Daily Princetonian offers a performance review at the end of each USG president's tenure.A number of issues have captured the attention of the student body over the past year, including the plans surrounding the four year residential colleges, the decision to increase eating club financial aid, the continuing policy to combat grade inflation and the reorganization of Campus Club. As our USG President, Alex Lenahan '07 has had a hand in shaping the student body's response in every one of these issues.Like past presidents, Lenahan excelled in some respects and fell short in others.One of Lenahan's chief weakness lies in his difficulties in communicating to the public.
Abortion oped uses widely discredited partisan scienceRegarding 'Pro-choice and women's health' (Thursday, Dec.
As students brace themselves for final examinations, I would like to leak to the press the professoriate's most closely held trade secret: Multiple choice questions aside, grading papers and examinations can be subject to human error and, worse still, to personal bias.As the further away an exam moves from answers expressed in mathematical symbols toward written prose, the room for error and bias increases.
Ruckus discriminates against students and musical artistsRegarding 'Quite a Ruckus' (Wednesday, Jan.
Both sides of the American war debate recently observed macabre milestones from Iraq. The news of Saddam Hussein's execution for crimes against humanity, dramatized through video montages tracing his decline from defiant dictator, to lousy POW, to corpse, was received with delight and no shortage of smug satisfaction.
