More students, more problems for under-funded club sports

Fifty percent of Princeton undergraduates participate in some form of intercollegiate athletics. Of those approximately 2,400 students, some 1,300 are club athletes on teams ranging from aikido and figure skating to Nordic skiing and softball.However, while the University cites this high level of student athleticism in guidebooks, its financial support does not match its praise.

The road less traveled: Avoiding the i-banking shadow toughens job hunt

Male role just as critical in activism against sexual violence

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.
