If you hadn't noticed, there have been a lot of older folks hanging around Frist the past couple of days.
I have a confession to make: I didn't vote in the USG elections. But I take that back ? this article is not a confession because I don't feel any guilt.
As January 2002 drew ever closer to closure, Matt was in a state of utter panic. His final paper for Applied Ethics, which he hoped would be an eloquent defense of the eating of handicapped Irish babies, was still far from completed.
Centuries ago, Christians co-opted a pagan celebration of the winter solstice to commemorate the birth of Jesus, despite the uncertainty of the time of that event.
A Bush presidency may promise to save Americans a few extra dollars each year, but it will also threaten to deprive federal programs of much-needed funds.
We're in the throes of college application season these days. The 'Prince' has been chronicling the plight of several applicants, and at the Frist Welcome Desk where I work, scores of prospective students have appeared looking for the Orange Key tours.At least I think the students have appeared.
"But we're one of the whitest groups on this campus!" protested one incredulous Daily Princetonian writer last September when he first heard of our plans for a series on race at the University.And indeed we are.
Don't worry. So far, no USG candidates are demanding a manual recount in Forbes. But much like the national presidential race, many of last night's USG elections were too close to call.
Today's editorial page is a special all-cartoon page. It is available only in the print edition of The Daily Princetonian.
The problem with Princeton University is not PU itself ? it's the term "P.C." I can't tell you how many times I have sat in a classroom listening to people stumbling and stammering, trying to say the words "African-American." They desperately try to ignore the syllable that mistakenly escapes from their lips: "Bla?." They scan the crowd for a face like mine, before realizing that the escaped "Bla?" might just render them a racist, a non-sympathizer or, God forbid, not "P.C."I sit around and listen to some of the students from the Caribbean distinguish themselves from black Americans.
At first, I was quite skeptical of The Daily Princetonian's plans to cover race relations for two weeks (and I certainly feel no inherent loyalty to the project because of my position as a columnist). I was skeptical that 10 full days of coverage on race would get redundant, and skeptical about what the campus reaction might be.
The U.S. presidential election continues to drag on and on and on ? relentlessly, endlessly, mercilessly ? consuming what seems like more on-air time than O.J.
The primary reason I chose to study abroad in Hong Kong was that I wanted to live in a place with as different a culture from the United States as possible.
Series on race raises issues of equity, equality and definitions of minority statusWe compliment the work of the reporters at The Daily Princetonian for pursuing the goal of chronicling the way race is lived at Princeton.
Fifty years ago, I arrived in America as an Asian undergraduate student, speaking very little English.
This isn't Palm Beach or Miami-Dade. It's Princeton. As students go to the polls today ? their laptops ? to vote for their USG representatives, they have the luxury of using some of the nation's most high-tech voting equipment.
Fifty years into the aftermath of the civil rights movement, and less than a decade since the start of the dismantling of affirmative action, race is still the central motif in the American drama.
I am white ? pale, pasty, milky, translucent, whatever you want to call it. My heritage goes back to some of Europe's most pallid fathers.
Articles on race should tackle systems, not individualsLet me preface this letter with a little background information about myself.
Of interest to the study of race relations is the decision of a Christian minority group to segregate itself from other Christian associations by creating a separate student organization.It all began during the spring semester of 1999 when several members of the Gospel Choir decided to found a chapter of Impact ? a national Christian organization geared toward blacks ? at Princeton.
