Back to reality

Most television programs that claim to depict some type of reality ? an evening newscast, for example, or an emergency room documentary ? should not be held morallly responsible for the events that they portray.

Initiations saw more abuse, same follow-up procedures

I write to clarify a comment attributed to me in the the article entitled "Police, administration respond to initiation weekend hospitalizations" in Thursday's issue of The Daily Princetonian, in which I was quoted as having said that the "this was no different from other initiation weekends." By that I did not mean to imply that the extent of the abuse was comparable to past years but that the process we use in following up with students about these behaviors is the same process we would use were they to engage in similar behavior at any other time of the year.

'V-Day' goes down

Saturday night, I found myself listening to thousands of women moaning in simultaneous feigned orgasm in Madison Square Garden.The occasion was "V-Day," a celebrity-packed production of Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues." Since 1998, V-Day has become an international movement, with the monologues being performed at over 400 colleges (including Princeton) around Valentine's Day.

Considering the impact of Arafat after the Israeli election

I am writing in response to Sun Jung Kim's Feb. 9 article "Campus split on impact of Sharon victory."

Sharing the Wealth

Shortly after a column of mine was printed in these pages last month, I received an e-mail from a high school student in California who was considering Princeton but was a bit taken aback by my descriptions of "elitism" and other problems which, in my opinion, detract from the University environment.She asked, "Is Princeton really a place that would narrow my views rather than broaden them?

Blackballing Bicker

Every year as it begins in earnest, Bicker swims in an aura of praise and criticism. At the risk of beating a dead elephant, I want to join the fray, not because I think I have anything original or significant to say, but because everyone ? including me ? has an opinion about it.To avoid any suspicions, I will admit upfront that I'm a happy victim of the process.

Terms and resolutions

Although most universities end their first semesters at the end of the year, Princeton remains defiant of the Gregorian calendar and rolls its academic calendar over in February.
