I found out about the war in LaGuardia Airport, standing in a crowd of New Yorkers who lived and worked near the Twin Towers, all wary of boarding an airplane on the day America declared war on Iraq.
On April 1st, the Whig-Cliosophic Society will host a speech by Rev. Pat Robertson. While the society recognizes that the Reverend's speech might include his trademark invectives against homosexuals and non-Christians, they justify the invitation on the grounds of free speech and request that we filter out any offensive comments he might make.The value of free speech on a college campus is obvious.
Protests could be betterThough American ground troops have crossed the Kuwait-Iraq border and American-led air forces have embarked on an unprecedented campaign to unseat Saddam Hussein and disarm the Iraqi regime, that is no reason for protesters to sit on the sidelines and wait out the war.The number of Americans who are against the war is not negligible.
A single grim subject occupies my mind; but my unimportant opinions about events in Iraq would amount to no more than another teardrop in the bucket, or rather sea of troubles on which our lumbering ship of state is now tossed.
At the risk of sounding hysterical, I want to share a worry I've been harboring for the past couple of years: The world may be coming to an end.
Spring break is here, and finally! The scuffed boots, the scratchy scarf and the down-to-the-ankles trench coat (not creepy, warm) are in the closet for good.
Yesterday afternoon, as most of us wrapped up a hectic week of midterms, we found early morning sunshine deteriorated into a cold, grim rain.
March 4 was an important day for me; it marked the last time I will throw myself upon the mercy of Adam Rockman.
Apathy is the only unacceptable attitude regarding war with IraqI'm writing in response to Mike Frazer's column (March 11, 2003) regarding "a selfish call for peace." I am currently spending a semester abroad at Oxford.
As an ex-eating club president, I am tired of being criticized by Borough Police Chief Davall and Mayor Reed.
Pettus Randall's term as USG President is off to a promising start. His early work on alcohol, the athletics moratorium and eating club costs demonstrates a keen focus on the issues that matter most to students.As part of that focus, Randall has informally urged the USG to avoid taking stands on partisan political issues that are not specifically relevant to Princeton.
It is the precept of my African-American studies class. A fellow student has just confessed that he doesn't know how to act around black people.
With the recent events in the Middle East quickly spiraling towards war, many Americans and citizens of other nations have taken to protesting in the name of peace.
Too often when controversial issues come up, or even not so controversial issues, I hear my peers resorting to arguments of, "Well I just believe what I believe, and I think everyone else should do the same.
The Housing Department doesn't want us to be stressed. "I sometimes hear that "Draw" can be a troublesome or stressful experience, even though it REALLY doesn't have to be!" reads this year's letter to undergraduates about 2003 room draw.
It seems we almost did it, once again. The capture of Khalid Sheik Mohhamed unearthed a "treasure trove" of information about the inner workings of al-Qaeda, exposing possible plots and pinpointing the location of high-ranking terrorists.
In the early months of 2002, the nation's capital was teeming with politicians and pundits alike extolling the United States as the arbiter of justice and the emancipator of the repressed.
Everyone who is against Bush's planned war in Iraq ? a group which seems to include almost the entire population of the earth at this point, including an ever-growing percentage of Americans ? has his or her own reasons for this conviction.
I am enjoying some extended and uninterrupted time in Firestone Library, and reacquainting myself with old familiar nooks and crannies, such as 3-7-J, the locked "Philosophy Graduate Study Room," surprising home to a viable non-circulating set of the Patrologia Latina.
Soon after the terrorist attacks of September 11, President Bush signed into law a sweeping list of additions and updates to earlier intelligence statutes.
