I’m simply here to share my thoughts in this formal, public forum. It doesn’t matter if I purport to speak from anything more than my own perspective, because the utility of the opinion section is not in the rightness of the submission but, instead, in the act of expressing and sharing reasoned personal beliefs with the general public.
Returning treasures to their original context is unfeasible; too much has changed physically and culturally over time for them to speak more clearly in their country of origin than they do in museums, where they can be compared to large assemblies of objects from a variety of cultures. In the advanced world of the 21st century, looting and stealing artifacts should be eliminated altogether — even for the sake of preservation, but the returning of already acquired artifacts should not be expected.
Writing for the ‘Prince’ is like participating in a big precept discussion. Should I ask this question? I hope it’s not too obvious. Should I say I agree with this? What if everybody disagrees?
Now that the construction of new Butler and the renovations in Forbes are complete, it is time to return to offering storage to all students.
Nothing in the code would prevent an economist from weighing in on any public issue of the day while also garnering a retainer from, say, the Koch Brothers or the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, but it would say that full disclosure must be part of every public message.
As leaders in our eating clubs, we would like to take this Pride Week to recommit and reaffirm our constant goal of ensuring that people of all backgrounds, experiences and orientations have a safe and fun outlet in all of the eating clubs.
For every narrative of an Israeli running to a bomb shelter, there exists a parallel anecdote of an innocent Palestinian civilian family fleeing from their home with minutes’ notice to escape an Israeli airstrike, or a college student living in Nablus who is withheld passage through a checkpoint to attend university in Birzeit.
The case against nuclear power is simple: it is expensive to build a nuclear power plant. Finland is one of the few countries currently constructing a new nuclear plant. The project was supposed to cost 3.7 billion euros but has already incurred an additional cost of 2.7 billion euros. The case for nuclear power is more subtle.
Princeton is a fascinating, quirky and fun place, and you cannot experience all it has to offer in four years, much less in one weekend. These suggestions will, however, hopefully help you see a side of Princeton that you didn’t hear about in Richardson Auditorium.
The population of Princeton Borough was roughly 13,400 at the last census. The University’s undergraduate population consisted of roughly 5,100 students. Undergraduates, in other words, account for more than a third of the Borough’s population. If all students voted in Princeton, the University would be a big deal, politically speaking.
Unlimited and ubiquitous Internet access has provided many academic and social benefits to Princeton undergraduates, but along with all of these benefits come a host of disadvantages as well.
Today, I lament my current geographical location for a more joyous reason — India’s going crazy with disbelief and happiness, and I wish that I could be there to go crazy with her.
This column is directed at the prefrosh, not as an attempt to persuade, but to lend you my observations of Princeton life as I’ve seen it through the lens of my own experience.
Everyone is entitled to free speech, convicted cop-killer or otherwise. But it is another matter to afford someone a prestigious platform in an academic discussion or elevate him or her to celebrity status.
