Students, not professors, balance workload
Jeff Wolf '02's column in yesterday's 'Prince' left much to be desired. Does he honestly expect professors to assign less work because we have to take other classes? Does he honestly think that it's a novel concept to complain about our workloads as students? If Mr. Wolf feels that it's unfair that all of his professors assign him 300 pages of reading per week, perhaps he should not have chosen such classes in the first place. No one at this University has a gun put to his head, forcing him to take four demanding courses.
It is not a professor's job to think about the other work students have to do; it is the student's job to choose courses so as not to become overworked. This is a trick of the trade I would dare say most students here have learned, but apparently Mr. Wolf has not. Isn't the point of newspaper columns to display observations of wisdom rather than naivete? It is unfortunate that readers of the 'Prince' must settle for the latter rather than the former.

Make intro macroeconomics the prerequisite for SPIA, not intro microeconomics
Eleanor Clemans-Cope“The current curriculum fails to equip our future policy leaders with the economic knowledge most relevant for their roles. For SPIA majors, Princeton’s introductory macroeconomics course is arguably more useful than its introductory micro, and this should be reflected in the curriculum.”

It’s time to change how we talk about abortion
Lily Halbert-Alexander“When we don’t question disengaged language like this at Princeton, we excuse anti-abortion advocates from being present in the facts. We excuse them from talking about Amber Nicole Thurman, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain, Candi Miller, and countless other women who have lost their lives as a direct result of abortion bans and restrictions.”
