Opinion

I take issue with all the "work" we are allegedly doing at Princeton. For the physics geeks, no, I'm not talking about force times distance, I'm taking about useful actions taken for reasons other than padding a resume, personal enjoyment or a misplaced sense of pride in being a "hard worker."To refer to some recent commentary on the phenomenon, one need only allude to David Brooks's infamous article on Princeton students, "The Organization Kid," or open the pages of the 'Prince' where you can sometimes find pieces like Kyle Meng's Nov.

Profiling Thefacebook.com

Peter Applebome's Dec. 1 New York Times article, "On Campus, Hanging Out by Logging On," examined Princeton students' love affair with Thefacebook.com. And we're not alone ? the site is now "the most popular way to either network or waste time for a million college students at around 300 colleges."
