Friends, Princetonians, money-grubby students, lend me your ears. After last springs PR debacle, I invite you to assent to the next battle in the war on grade deflation before the plebiscite is officially held.I had hoped that the whole deflation scheme would be generously granted to you before you were led astray by such picayune concerns as jobs, grad school and happiness.

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.
