Ask students if the Student Course Guide (SCG) has helped them choose classes for the upcoming term, and the responses will not be encouraging.
Recently, a Canadian scholar I know who teaches at a wealthy private university in the United States stunned a little group of his colleagues.
How closely are you following events on the ground in Iraq? Has the war influenced your actions in any way?
This week's USG elections more closely resembled the elections of a banana republic than of a mature democracy.
Bush calls it "the most fundamental institution of civilization." Sherif Girgis '08, the president of the Anscombe Society, calls it a "unique, irreplaceable contribution to real people's (especially children's) well being." Yet millions of people around the world are denied it in an ongoing struggle of grassroots protest and get-out-the-vote campaigns.
For a course in research methods, I recently found myself critiquing a study titled "Watching Sex on Television Predicts Adolescent Initiation of Sexual Behavior" from the journal Pediatrics. Conducted two years ago by researchers at the Rand Corporation, the study concluded that "watching sex on TV ... may hasten adolescent sexual initiation."Studies of this sort often have trouble separating cause from effect.

Is this the best we can do as a University?Regarding 'Discipline is an issue for voters' (Monday, Dec.
We Americans now have another commission to advise on Iraq, but this one is also beside the point.
In the recent USG election, one theme dominated the discussion of the presidential candidates. From the pages of The Daily Princetonian to the candidate forum held last week, the disciplinary records of Grant Gittlin '08 and Rob Biederman '08 were the hot topics of conversation.
On a recent episode of "South Park," in between typically outrageous sex scenes between the distinguished British evolutionist and the post-op transsexual fourth-grade teacher, Eric Cartman froze himself in ice.
First off, I would like to thank the University and the Board of Trustees for doing what was right and necessary: creating the new club financial aid plan. From the start of my Princeton career, I was always told that I could do whatever I wanted at the University; money would not be an issue.
I applaud the University's decision to increase the financial aid package. Making the eating club option more affordable to a greater ? and more diverse ? range of Princeton students is in everyone's best interests.
The members of Nassau Hall, West College and Prospect Avenue responsible for increasing University financial aid to cover the cost of eating club meal contracts deserve both praise and genuine thanks from Princeton students past, present and future.
The University Cottage Club enthusiastically supports the University's decisions to increase grants for all students who receive financial aid and to provide all juniors and seniors on financial aid with sufficient support to enable them to cover the average cost of membership in an eating club. We believe removing financial barriers for financial aid students who might like to consider joining clubs benefits both the students and the eating clubs.
The agreement reached between the University and the eating clubs that creates new shared-meal options and boosts financial aid is a landmark achievement. All who contributed to the dialogue and debate over the several past years should be proud of their efforts.To view this agreement as a culmination, however, would be shortsighted; rather, it opens a gateway to future possibilities.
