For the past few years, I thought a job search was only something other people did. During the first three years of my Princeton career, planning for the future consisted of deciding my major, poring over the course catalogue and setting up work or travel for the summer.
The trustees' decision to adopt the recommendations of the Wythes Committee Report will have crucial implications for future generations of Princeton students.
One afternoon last week, I was walking on Washington Road when a bus passed me, slow enough so that I could hear the catcalls from the male high school students inside.
I recently asked one of my friends if he'd show up and support Take Back the Night on Saturday. He declined the invitation with the rationale, "If there were no men in the world, we wouldn't need Take Back the Night."His honest expression of gender guilt regarding sexual assault shows a common male perspective that rape is a women's issue and Take Back the Night is a women's event.
U.S. should support, not criticize Taiwan's democracyThis letter is in response to Melissa Waage '01's April 7 column on Taiwan.
We would like to welcome new Vice President for Campus Life Janet Dickerson to the University community.
Tens of thousands of people ? including a small group from Princeton ? will descend on Washington, D.C., this weekend to protest the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
Gonzalez case important gauge of domestic politicsAs Karthick Ramakrishnan GS wrote in the April 6 'Prince,' the Elian Gonzalez case is in the American spotlight ? that fact is non-negotiable.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to face that much discrimination while searching for jobs. Thanks to the women's liberation movement, I have a fair chance of not being discriminated against based on my gender.
Bobby Knight, the embattled head coach of men's basketball at the University of Indiana, has been all over the news recently.
Most academics think they are married to words. They think images should be the beautiful, young secretary: much more fun, but always left untouched.For some reason, academia loves words.
To paraphrase Ben Franklin, in life there are no sure things, aside from death and theses. Writing a thesis is like waiting on death row.
When I don't return to school next year, it's not because of the tuition increase, the rate of inflation or the resulting economic strain.
Online registration a matter of effectiveness, not trustI would like to express my agreement with Seth Wikas' April 4 column in the 'Prince' with regard to the need for an online registration system at Princeton.
The Clinton administration's fence-sitting over Taiwan's independence from the People's Republic of China makes no political sense either internationally or domestically.
Kyoto Protocol won't solve world problemI am writing in response to the April 5 'Prince' article titled, "Campus group urges compliance with environmental protocol." The validity and concerns from global warming are rarely issues of controversy nowadays.
In opposing the legalization of physician-assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia, Peter Harrell '02 in his April 3 column claims that the example of the Netherlands ? so far the only country in the world where both of these practices take place openly and without fear of prosecution ? shows that this would be a dangerous course to follow.
So the Supreme Court ruled last week that local governments have the right to enforce stricter laws on the attire worn by nude dancers, but only if they can prove that strip clubs have harmful "secondary effects" on a community, such as increasing crime or lowering property values.Let me rephrase that in plainer English: The Supreme Court ruled last week that under certain debatable circumstances, local governments can make nude dancers wear g-strings and pasties instead of just g-strings.It's good to know that our tax dollars are finally making a profound impact on the country.Let's face it, pornography is an institution that's not about to go flaccid anytime soon.
Elian! Elian! Elian! Why is everyone fixated over the Elian Gonzalez story? We all know why hardened anti-Castro activists are obsessed with the boy's custody battle ? Elian Gonzalez could not have come at a better time for them.Despite their success in securing passage of the Helms-Burton Bill in the mid-1990s, anti-Castro forces were beginning to lose their influence over American foreign policy.
