The importance of stepping into another's shoes

The importance of stepping into another's shoes

Crossing Nassau Street tonight in a crosswalk, I was shouted at by an undergraduate in an SUV, whom I had the misfortune of stepping in front of and causing to slow down ever so slightly: "Out of the way, fat-ass!"I wonder if he gave it a second thought.

Bronze for gold

Unlike most students who will be leaving Princeton this June, I will not be graduating. Like many of my graduate student peers, I will enter into a year of "post-enrollment" status, a limbo state in which I am neither a Princeton student nor an alumnus of the University.

SHARE cutbacks will quiet rape, harassment victimsI am deeply dismayed by the planned cutbacks in Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources and Education; it makes a parody out of the administration's token support of events such as the Take Back the Night march.

Campaign for worker respect fails to face real issuesWhile all employees would undoubtedly appreciate a Worker Respect and Appreciation Campaign as suggested by the U-Council, I'm afraid that it misses the most crucial point raised at the April 24 PriCom meeting, a matter that is of utmost concern to every employee on campus: issues of adequate benefits and compensation.True, there are those students who have no regard for the consequences of their actions (for themselves, let alone for those around them) but, for the most part, I do believe that the majority of the student body does not need to be prodded into respecting those who service them.

Will 'Survivor' survive the outback?

When a herd of students ditch Fristfest at 8 p.m. tonight, you can bet that most of them are rushing to watch the final episode of "Survivor II" and learn which of the three remaining outback castaways will win the million-dollar grand prize.But while "Survivor" virgins may thrill at witnessing their first finale, I've noticed that the current "Survivor" doesn't grip past fans ? this columnist included ? the way the first series did.
