by Aaron Smargon ’11 Last month’s cancellation of Nonie Darwish’s November 18th talk, “Sharia Law and Perspectives on Israel,” brought to light how controversial a figure she is. The attention given to Darwish’s statements, however, has obscured some unpleasant truths about how student organizations operate on campus. The clubs in question—Tigers for Israel (TFI), the […]
When the Tory returned from a restful Thanksgiving Break with the folks (Think we’re conservative? You haven’t met Dad…), we were surprised to find campus littered with fliers promulgating myths and facts about feminism. We were inspired to compose a few of our own, which we hope to see posted on campus soon: Myth: Feminists […]
by Brandon McGinley ’10 The first thing I noticed when I returned to Princeton from my hometown of Pittsburgh after Thanksgiving – and perhaps it is a strange thing to notice – is that there are a lot more effeminate men in Princeton than in southwestern Pennsylvania. Now, this is not some sort of thinly-veiled […]
by Toni Alimi ’13 and Robert Marsland ’11 If one were to type the phrase “emergency contraception” into the Google search bar, one would expect to find among the first results Planned Parenthood, or some other “reproductive health” organization. It would come as quite a surprise, then, to learn that the very top result, ahead […]
by Brian Reiser ’13 How did Princeton differ from the other colleges at which you worked:Earlham, Swarthmore and Duke? Swarthmore and Earlham are much more social justice colleges, because of their history of Quakerism. Princeton students remind me in some ways of Swarthmore students, but I would say it was more the norm at Swarthmore […]
About one month ago, a woman by the name of Nonie Darwish was to speak at an event sponsored by both of the student organizations Tigers for Israel and Whig-Clio. Claiming she holds views particularly antagonistic towards Islamic fundamentalism, the leaders of the Muslim community and the cjl pressured both groups to drop their sponsorship, […]
The November Issue is in! Hear what our publisher has to say about a recent campus debate or move right on to our articles. This month the Tory takes aim at GNH, OA, and Campus Club.
by Brian Reiser I did not quite know what to expect during Outdoor Action, my first true Princeton experience. I had heard only positive comments about the OA trips and how they were a good introduction to campus life. I was excited about Princeton and the opportunities that would soon be open to me, but […]
by Nicholas Elan ’11 In many ways, the new Campus Club has much to recommend it. The former eating club, which shut its doors in 2005 and is now owned by the University, has been restored to a fine condition and is splendidly furnished following 18 months of renovation work. But the most striking aspect […]
In this edition of Points & Punts, Tory members reveal this year’s other recipients of the Nobel Prize, poke fun at RINOs, offer the Prince and their readers some writing tips, and thank the administration for the new “facilities.” ****************************************************************************************** Breaking News from Scandinavia! The 2009 Nobel Prize for Economics: Sam Norton ’12, who achieved […]
by Alfred Miller ’11 and Raphael Murillo ’12 Get a room! That’s the new option the University is offering to campus lovebirds with next year’s “gender-neutral housing” pilot program. Next year, upperclassmen drawing into Spelman will have the opportunity to live with members of the opposite sex. Student government president Connor Diemand-Yauman ’10 proudly announced […]
by Amy Osterman ’10 Given Princeton’s recent announcement about the introduction of gender-neutral housing, it would be instructive to look at other Ivy Leagues who have introduced programs. Two principal arguments have been articulated for instituting gender-neutral housing. The first frames the argument as a solution to a special need, noting that there are students […]
