Although I am removed from the culture of die-hard gym-goers, I admit that exercise is very important to me ? for both my mental and physical health.
Socrates: Be full of joy, O Stankophon (for such is the best way I know to address friends).Stankophon: Why hello, Socrates.
Low wages force worker-parents to choose between working for and raising familyIn the aftermath of the recent school shooting, I have heard numerous Princeton students say that the solution to school violence is to have parents that are in touch with their children.
The senior thesis is perhaps the greatest task faced by Princeton undergraduates, but it is also the greatest excuse ever invented.
Here is what you should know about me: I like Bob Dylan. I mean, I really, really like him, and not just because he has the soul of a poet.
Where has Jeff Wolf '02 been? In the last two years Princeton has seen a virtual renaissance in accessible and smart political activism: the Workers' Rights effort, anti-Sweatshop activism, critiques of corporate globalization, a prison reform working group, renewed discourse on race, an active anti-hunger movement and the ever-enduring good works of the SVC.Somehow philosopher Wolf has been meandering in the illusion that a) Princeton is an inactive campus and b) that political problems are either intractable, out of one's hands or too taxing on one's fun-loving schedule.While Wolf wallows in Winston Churchill-isms, injustice and suffering persist.
Business and economic interests not in conflictI am dismayed by the views expressed in the article "Slick Money: The Controversial Role of Corporate Funds in University Labs" in the March 5th issue of the Prince Magazine.The article notes the danger that corporations will "use Princeton research not only in the interest of profit but profit at the expense of the global climate." Nonsense.
Adam Frankel's March 7th column, "Post a guard at the revolving door," reads like the day-before-yesterday's New York Times.
Princeton has never felt like a politically charged campus to me (with the grand exception of the appointment of Peter Singer), and I have enjoyed this since I have never been much of a politico.
The only regret I have about being in an eating club is that I'm not in every eating club. Truly, this serves as an endless source of personal anguish, as, let me tell you, eating club life is decadent and, as we all know, decadent times 11 equals much more decadent.
Peter Singer has a nasty way of pushing everything to the extreme. His arguments on abortion try to induce the reader to believe that unless you think all contraception is immoral, you should support abortion up to the time of birth and then infanticide for 30 days afterwards, just for good measure.But Princeton's favorite ethicist has gotten tired of defending killing disabled babies and has now started defending something completely different: bestiality.Yes.
Remember Carol Shia? She was the New York City police officer fired after posing for Playboy in uniform: the NYPD thought it was inappropriate to use a police uniform for personal gain ? and in such a questionable manner.
Princeton community aids in quake reliefI would like to thank the Princeton University community for its overwhelming support in the India Quake Relief Drive.
I've been leading a criminal lifestyle for several months now. It's gotten so bad that I sometimes violate federal law several times before breakfast.
Students in the hallowed halls of the Woodrow Wilson School are forming plans to end world hunger, others in Fisher are pondering how to save Social Security and in an organic chemistry lab still others are preparing to heal the world.I'm a classical archaeology major; in other words, I sit around thinking about dead people.
One day soon, human clones will walk among us. Does the thought send a shiver up your spine? How about the notion of eating french fries from a potato engineered with jellyfish genes to make its leaves bioluminescent?
In response to a very solid and excellent presentation of the goals and makeup of the WROC, I feel the need to clarify my previous statements.
I very much enjoyed Alex Iliff '02's article on Dale Earnhardt. I am a closet Princeton NASCAR fan.
If ignorance is bliss, then it makes sense that white undergraduates are on the whole more content at Princeton than their minority peers."I just didn't know this was a problem," one student at a recent panel discussion about race said rather timidly, referring to remarks by several others that the 'Street' proves a major social obstacle for minorities on campus.One of only a handful of white faces amid 10 times as many audience members, she was clearly interested and involved enough to take part in the forum, so it was a bit disconcerting to find that the concept of social elitism, which affects most students, could be alien to her ears.
Dick Spies GS '72's Feb. 23 opinion piece might have left the erroneous impression that workers at Princeton are satisfied with the University's compensation philosophy which consists of Pay for Performance and salary surveys in lieu of a Cost of Living Adjustment.
