Don't end the university as we know it

Don't end the university as we know it

Two weekends ago, in that short period of blazing heat that followed days of cold April showers, I was in New Haven at a conference titled ?Greek, Latin and Indo-European Poetry.? Since thinking about ancient literature is how I choose to occupy much of my time, being indoors for hours on end was not for me the hardship you might think.

Making the USG better: everyone's business

The passage of referenda last week mandating full disclosure of vote tallies and requiring USG members to pledge not to seek letters of recommendation from administrators is a good step toward reform, but we must follow through and stay vigilant.

Editorial: Punishing with honor

An Honor Code, at heart, is more than just a penal code: It is designed to educate students in honor and to create a baseline of trust.

In defense of honor

At the core of honor stands an individual accountability to ourselves and to others.

A conversation about more than just cancer

While we’re sure that the ads’ offensiveness was unintentional, their tastelessness indicates a larger problem with the way we approach activism at Princeton.

Saving more than second base

Though the campaign has indeed ignited some controversy, we still support the intent behind it. We never intended to offend or objectify women with the use of the “Save Second Base” slogan, and our primary objective has been — and continues to be — raising as much money as possible for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

NassWatch

Apparently, there is another broadsheet publication on campus! It’s called the Nassau Weekly and is published roughly once a month.

New language for a new day

The Orange Bubble is a tired and inaccurate metaphor. The walls and gates that separate Princeton from “the real world” aren’t nearly as tall or thick as we’d like to imagine.

Editorial: Build community for less

The University should convert a few rooms in each upperclass dorm into common areas.

Talking past each other

Failures to engage in actual honest debate — arguments that go beyond mere shouting matches — frequently occur on campus.

An international Cannon barrage

I propose that Cannon Club embrace international students and their like-minded classmates when it finally reopens.

$60,000? I want 60,000 hours

I propose we hold onto that $60,000, celebrate Lawnparties with a big band to headline it and give something else: 60,000 volunteer hours.

Can the Graduate Tiger teach?

Our undergraduates as well as our graduate students would gain from having our grad students’ first-time-out passion and energy focused here.
