All I ask of anyone else from every person who presents themselves as accepting of all beliefs, is a companion acceptance of my and others’ faiths’ stranger requirements.
AIDS prevention and awareness are among the most important health causes among students our age, and making HIV tests more widely available is one of the most effective means of accomplishing these goals.
A Princeton-sponsored bus that runs between Philadelphia, Princeton and New York on weekends would be a boon to everyone in the Princeton community and could potentially become a profitable venture as well.
For some reason — don’t ask me how, don’t ask me why — people seem to be into joining groups that not everyone can be in. Maybe it has to do with feeling better about themselves or something — I don’t know. What’s important is that it works, and this is something that the residential colleges must take into account.
The gap year can serve as a period to collect one’s thoughts, assess one’s goals and find one’s hidden passions. The opportunity leaves as quickly as it comes.
Jeffrey Mensch '11 of Tigers for Israel and Yoel Bitran '11 of the Princeton Committee for Palestine to discuss their columns related to the recent Sabra Hummus referendum at Princeton University, being "pro-Israel" and how to effectively critique Israeli policies.
Just because the phrase “no pain, no gain” rings true sometimes, that does not mean that we can only gain through pain. This, however, is essentially what conservatives have argued: Only if we suffer now can we have economic growth later.
Unfortunately, a policy that makes it harder for scholarly work to be conducted in countries on the U.S State Department's travel warning list will mean that our work remains largely speculative or, at best, dependent solely on external information.

It was only a month or two ago that Governor Chris Christie backed out of New Jersey’s commitment to a new railroad tunnel under the Hudson River, citing the cost (about $3 billion for New Jersey if I recall). I’m certainly not an expert on such matters, but it seems that he could have done better on this decision.
This kind of “earn it yourself” aid is actually just a different — and perhaps worse — kind of loan: one that needs to be paid back immediately and at low campus-job wages.
The country is more likely to listen to a friend than an enemy, to constructive rather than destructive criticism. Let us hope that with this in mind, all sides can come together with constructive solutions to bring peace to the volatile region of the Middle East.
The $45 fine essentially functions as a nuisance fee, and its elimination is unlikely to create significant problems. Ending the policy of nickel-and-diming students through this fee would allow students more time to make informed decisions on their coursework without facing unnecessary pressure from the University.
We believe that only through international pressure will Israelis be able to make the difficult decisions that will ensure Israel’s long-term existence. It is through this kind of effort that South Africans were able to end apartheid, and there is little reason to believe that it would not work just as well in this case.
Thanksgiving doesn’t seem like a hard sell. Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberries, stuffing, pumpkin pie and the rest are a pretty good spread.
