Both sexes need to play on 'Home Team'

I walked out of "March of the Penguins" this past July and couldn't help but marvel at the fact that for two excruciating months during which they did not eat, the male penguins ? the fathers ? guarded their eggs from the extreme cold until they hatched, while the female penguins went out to replenish their own exhausted and malnourished bodies.

Remembering better days: The Campus Club of old

Perhaps I do not deserve the privilege of eulogizing Campus Club. I did not belong to it; yet, I felt that Campus belonged to me.

An evening with Elie Wiesel

Wednesday evening found me sitting in Lahiere's, eating dinner and chatting with two close friends, several Nobel laureates, Princeton professors, President Tilghman and the man we had been waiting half a year to see: Elie Wiesel, the author of "Night," survivor of the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, teacher, writer and defender of the oppressed.

In search of some natural delicacies

Students should get equal access to Rice speech

On Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will deliver the keynote address for the Wilson School's 75th anniversary celebration.

The lock on the gate of the Ivory Tower

It seems obvious that humans need jargon. If you are a mechanic, it does not suffice to ask your assistant for "that thingamajig that makes this part of the engine work again." In fields where great precision of language is necessary, including many academic fields, people argue about suitable definitions for words.

Sundays are relaxing. Some people sleep in, some go to church, others watch football and some frantically scurry to catch up on a week's worth of neglected reading.

Frist has lost a valuable social space for students

Students returning to campus this fall looking for a late-night Snapple or slice of pizza at Frist are in for an unpleasant surprise: From now on, the downstairs gallery will be closing with the last late meal.

Valuing the eating club system

As a senior, scarily and irreversibly close to my unwanted title of alumnus, I often read the campus life rumblings in the Princeton Alumni Weekly ? a postgraduate publication that keeps the vast network of Princeton grads in tune with events and discussions percolating on campus.

Prevent senioritis before it's too late

You've probably read dozens of columns and heard quite a few speeches about providing valuable advice to incoming freshmen.

Yearning for the Frist of yesteryear

Never again will we get to see the look of profound disappointment on our inebriated classmates' faces as the Frist Food Gallery's portcullis, as if mocking the hungry, slowly closes at 2 a.m.. Never again will we be able to take a 1:47 a.m.

Grade deflation: Good progress, uneven process
