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.
ODOC encourages those planning fall break trips to ensure the thoroughness of their applications, promising to prioritize the review of those applications. But following this compressed schedule, students often do not find out whether funding has been awarded until one or two weeks before they are set to travel.
Princeton has traditionally staked its reputation on the most studious among us, but that whole boy-genius routine is passe. What Princeton needs now is some ridiculous bar fights, love affairs and fake tans. We need a Snooki.
Tori Jueds and Cole Crittenden elaborate on University policy in the aftermath of the Tyler Clementi tragedy and Scott Fountain criticizes Borough Police practices.
Limiting the number of people in the know helps to keep situations contained. The bomb scare at Palmer Square was practically a non-event.
This doesn’t mean that as women we need to aggressively claw our way through the patriarchy until we get our due, but if we want a change, sometimes we need to be bold.
Although our countless programs, superior academics and admirable collegiate atmosphere make us one of the most highly ranked schools in the world, it simply cannot be overlooked that Princeton has a culture of stress.
