Vote yes on the referendum to provide yourself and fellow students the opportunity to purchase an alternative hummus not connected to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
Supporters of the referendum argue that Sabra hummus is connected to human rights violations, but the connection is a weak one.
No one who has sat in my common room could tell me that Princeton students don’t care about the quest for knowledge, not victory, in debate. No one could tell me that grades or cynicism should or can define the Princeton experience. Almost every person I’ve interacted with one-on-one at this school is driven in some way by a love of learning something they are passionate about.
Jesus chose to hang out with his 12 best bros, drinking some wine and enjoying some simple but good food. The fact that the Last Supper was a proper meal was intentional and closely related to the central message of Christianity: A good meal with friends is the basis for the good, holy life.
Even though I have only been here a few months, I want other girls — especially underclassmen — to know that even though it sometimes may not seem like it, there is in fact a thriving feminist community here.
Everybody wants to be a part of the exclusive Indians-at-Princeton club, and of course, everybody wants the quality education that the University promises.
The best choices for USG president and vice president are, respectively, Yaroshefsky and Ettman.
The Graduate School Government follows with interest the possibility of Terrace Club extending membership to graduate students.
Michael Medeiros '11 sits down with Sophia LeMaire '11 to discuss her column on women in leadership positions at Princeton.
The USG and Campus Recreation should work together to create more opportunities for wellness and exercise classes in the future.
You are being deceived. A thin veil (of hummus) is being pulled over your eyes. You are being told that by purchasing Sabra hummus, you are propagating the violation of human rights — that by purchasing Sabra hummus, you are enabling abuses by the Israeli army’s Golani Brigade, whose soldiers are portrayed as cruel perpetrators. This is simply not true.
By scheduling breaks, we can provide ourselves with a safe zone in which to stop thinking about school when we do other activities.
Luckily for us Princeton students, there is no obligation to vote in the USG elections. This year, 587 votes were cast in the runoff election for the position of Class of 2014 president. Simple calculation shows us that approximately 45 percent of the freshman class voted. Princeton students are intelligent, informed and involved in a myriad of activities and projects, so what explains the fact that not even half the class cares who represents them? Why are they so indifferent?
As the child of gay parents who recently celebrated the 22nd anniversary of their civil union, I have paid close attention to coverage of the political activism of politics professor Robert George, who has been actively opposing same-sex marriage through several organizations. If we consider these activities improper, what separates them from the political statements of economics professor Paul Krugman or the activism of African American studies professor Cornel West GS ’80? I would suggest that a lack of academic integrity and consistency — not partisanship — constitutes unacceptable behavior for a professor’s extracurricular activities.
As an American, I see no problem with requiring students (more likely their parents) to contribute more directly to the cost of their own education, though the rise in fees seems uncharitably swift and steep. What bothers me in the Browne Review, however, is its single-minded approach to universities as engines of economic growth.
