War's first several casualties

I have just read the 15th op-ed piece to remind me that "truth is the first casualty of war." What editorial writers generally mean by this is that the Pentagon ? or is it now the Quadrangle?

Minority issues and student responsibility

Last week the USG Committee on Minority Issues released its report that thoroughly summarizes the opinions of minority students at Princeton (www.princeton.edu/usg/minorityfullreport.html). It justifiably identifies and discusses several problem areas: the small number of minority professors, discrimination by University employees, the 'Street' and minority yield in admissions.

Not so sweet: The limits of decorum

Having lived within ivy-covered walls for almost six years, I possess a strong sense that academic events demand a certain level of decorum ? ask questions when called upon, don't raise your voice and address the speaker with respect and appropriate honorifics.
