Letter to the Editor: May 12, 2010

Your editorial takes issue with a recommendation that the Eating Club Task Force did not make. We did not propose reinstituting multi-club Bicker. What we did propose is an alternative selection process that we believe evokes a central feature of multi-club Bicker—the placement of every student who wishes to be in a club as part of a single process. But this is not the same thing as proposing that students engage in bicker conversations at more than one club.

A relevant memory

Now that the semester is wrapping up, what is worth remembering? How many of our experiences until now still matter to us?

Editorial: Problems with multi-club Bicker

The most prominent of the Task Force's recommendations — re-instituting a multi-club Bicker system — would leave many of the problems with the current process unsolved, and it should not be implemented.

The countdown

I have become obsessed with looking forward to the next moment of fulfillment. Everything I do seems only to be setting the stage for a future spectacular event.

What the ‘Prince’ prints

In other words, the fact that ‘Prince’ discourse is not by itself sufficient to bring about meaningful change on campus should not distract us from that fact that having a permanent, socially accepted, more-or-less trusted print forum is an indispensable cog in the larger machine that, when operating properly, does bring about meaningful change.

The column I should have written

The personal and social consequences of pornography’s ubiquity render the extremely specific question of feminist porn an interesting, but unimportant, distraction.

In pursuit of intellectualism

We place a great deal of emphasis on being open to other cultural experiences, religious practices, ideals, opinions and principles. This is, of course, a good thing — but in moderation.

Is Goldman Sachs going up in smoke?

Few cognoscenti believe that the behavior at issue is just a Goldman thing. At its center is a change in the business model of the entire banking industry and, with it, the nouveau business ethic that now seems to drive Wall Street in general.

Freedom of homosexual expression

At Princeton, it’s okay to be “out” — as long as you’re not gay about it. Boys should only hold hands in the final stretch of their 3:30 a.m. walk home from the Street, and same-sex dancing should only occur among straight girls. After all, gays are meant to be “tolerated,” not seen or heard.
