Cease and de-Frist: Dollars should have been spent elsewhere

Last Friday was bad enough, but I could deal. I was forced to watch hundreds of proud alumni, decked out in jackets of various tiger stripes and plaids, come back to Old Nassau for the dedication of the new Frist Campus Center.

From world perspective, U.S. democracy just fine

American democracy is in serious trouble. Giant corporate interests are leading contributors to presidential campaigns, be they Clinton's tort lawyers or Bush's energy giants.

Politics-Exempt

Politics-Exempt

Anyone who runs a student group knows about the 501(c)(3) section of the federal tax code. This section, which makes nonprofit groups tax exempt, shelters many student groups, and, in fact, the University itself.But in return for tax-exempt status, the law puts restrictions on such groups and institutions.

Nader vote doesn't have to be a throwaway for liberals

This is not a good time to be a liberal Democrat. Al Gore has been "talking the talk" of populism, arguing that he stands for the millions of working Americans who have been left behind in this age of prosperity.

Area surrounding Palmer Square should be off-limits to autos

I've tried to bridge the much-lamented town-University gap. I'll walk across Nassau Street to indulge in a cup of coffee with four extra shots of espresso, or treat my 'zees to ice cream or ? and I know this is a rarity around here ? go on a date.I suspect I'm often the first student many of the restaurateurs have ever seen.

Think again

With violence in the Middle East, American troops facing terrorist attack abroad and the strong possibility that the next president of the United States will be a man whose single greatest feat of foreign policy was trading away Sammy Sosa, now is hardly the time to fret about purely intellectual concerns.Princeton, however, has seen fit to offer me a modest stipend provided that I agree to fret about purely intellectual concerns.

Candidates' Middle East stances diminish hopes for resolution

The unusual coincidence of a Mideast crisis ? violence between Israelis and Palestinians and the alleged suicide bombing against the USS Cole ? with the presidential campaign means that the Middle East is, for once, dramatically shaping Americans' lives, rather than the reverse.While President Clinton, Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak crafted a life-saving cease-fire Tuesday, Al Gore and George W.

No more what-ifs: Candidates to debate real foreign crisis

Tonight's town-hall style debate in St. Louis has an urgency and importance that neither of the previous debates have had.The candidates' different philosophies about how to spend the projected budget surplus will probably still take center stage.
