Princeton, NJ

During the first two weeks of every Princeton semester, students have the opportunity to toy with their schedules freely. Over this period, referred to as add/drop, students are afforded flexibility in changing the schedule they created during course registration by adding or dropping any number of courses. Many students take great advantage of this, as initial schedules are often only reflective of whatever classes are still open during registration. After the add/drop period, as per the Office of the Registrar, students can no longer add courses and will incur a $45 fee for each course dropped. The reality of add/drop does not always allow students the opportunity to optimize their schedules, which is why I am calling on the University to reform and restructure this two week period, as well as drop the inequitable $45 fee.

Add/drop should be a time for exploration, not stress

I’ve spent most of my life in a wheelchair. Using a wheelchair comes with plenty of perks: I could give myself approximately seven minutes to get from my former dorm in Bloomberg to my favorite journalism class in Joseph Henry House, and I never have to worry about the weight of my bags after a shopping spree (my handlebars are very helpful).

My wheelchair is not the punchline of your joke

That building meant nothing when you first stepped onto campus — now it's a character in your story. The strongest memories come without warning. They’re spontaneous, inherently attached to their places and people. This place retains these memories, and they flash when you pass by, even years later. The roof of Walker Hall. Bored after dinner, my friends thought of a dare. Each time I pass, I remember our collective disbelief and thrill at the possibility of climbing it. East Pyne recalls freshman Spanish, with laughter and wasted time and growing friendship. Whig and Clio remind me of a spontaneous, liquor-fueled call, prompting a winter night around Cannon Green — a night adorned with conversations on the marble steps, looking at the stars from lawn chairs in McCosh courtyard. This place is special, and remarkable ordinary moments are the proof.

In advance of Friday, when men’s basketball will face Creighton University in a historic Sweet 16 matchup in the NCAA men’s basketball March Madness tournament, the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) discussed and planned student programming for the game. The group ultimately decided to host a watch party event in Jadwin.

The men’s basketball team is in uncharted territory. For the first time in the modern NCAA Tournament history — the period since the tournament field was expanded to 64 teams in 1985 — the Tigers (23–8, 10–4) are in the Sweet 16, thanks to two upset wins over Arizona and Missouri last weekend in the tournament’s first two rounds.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — The final curtain has been drawn on the 2022–23 Princeton women’s basketball season. On Sunday, March 19, after being just two points shy of the lead with seven minutes to play, the Tigers (24–6 overall, 12–2 Ivy League) dropped a heartbreaking Round of 32 loss to the Utah Utes (27–4, 15–3 Pac-12) in the NCAA Tournament. It’s the second-consecutive loss for the Tigers in the second round of March Madness, with both losses coming by single-digit deficits.
