UPDATE: Becca Lee’s Vacated Senate Post to be Filled by… Becca Lee
Sunday, 31 May 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
You’ve no doubt been consumed by speculation over who will fill the empty 2012 Senate seat since last Sunday’s announcement of “erroneous results” in the fall election. Well, one week later, we finally have our answer: after interviews and deliberations, Connor Diemand-Yauman (whose name I can now spell from memory! The trick is to remember

Tuesday, 26 May 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
While you were off relaxing during your Memorial Day weekend, President Obama and his crack team of legal experts were busy choosing their Supreme Court nominee. The New York Times reported Tuesday morning that Princeton grad and University Trustee Sonia Sotomayor ’76 will indeed be Obama’s pick (called it!). Sotomayor would be the first Hispanic

Why We’re Paying $15,000 Dollars to Have Our Vote Count; also, Why We Hate the USG and Love Yaro
Sunday, 24 May 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
We’re done with USG elections. You’d have thought that a year of gross incompetence (with a near-revote of the fall VP election that landed us on IvyGate), a false start to the spring voting, and complete misreporting of the approval polls would have conditioned us to be cautious. You’d think we open all CDY emails
Nothing ever happens at Princeton (Part 5673)
Thursday, 21 May 2009

While on a stroll down Nassau Street yesterday afternoon, near the intersection of University Place, we noticed something that could only mean a cataclysmic event had occurred: a large crowd, two Borough Police cars with flashing lights, and three officers pacing around. We struggled through the halted pedestrian traffic outside Chase Bank, our minds racing

Kirn ’83: We are stoopid
Thursday, 21 May 2009
by Brian No
Author Walter Kirn ’83 appeared on The Colbert Report Tuesday night to promote his latest book, Lost in the Meritocracy: The Undereducation of an Overachiever. While we certainly don’t shy away from poking fun at this goddamn hell hole (sorry, it’s exam week…err, month), Kirn’s criticisms of Princeton at times bordered on delusional and “WTF?”

Princeton Kids are Smoking What?
Monday, 18 May 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
We here at The Ink normally try to stay away from sensational stories about Ivy League kids doing crazy drugs. But stand back. We’re about to break our own rule. OPIUM? What the hell? I mean, I guess the drug has a cool retro appeal. While the kids going out to “80s Night” blow lines

Former USG Prez Runs for Office
Sunday, 17 May 2009
by Brian No
No, not Eliot Spitzer ’81. He’s forever disgraced, remember? Spending $80,000 over 10 years on “high-end” prostitutes? Spitzer’s legacy, however, hasn’t stopped former USG President PJ Kim ’01 from pursuing public office in New York. Kim is running for New York City Council, trying to unseat incumbent councilman Alan Gerson in District 1. Kim is

You see what we have become?!
Friday, 15 May 2009
by Angela Wu
An alumnus from the Class of 1945 recently wrote a letter to the Princeton Alumni Weekly bemoaning the feminization of Princeton since the introduction of coeducation in 1969. My fear is that the Princeton Univer-sity I knew has been taken over by a female majority (for better or worse). I am surprised that other male

Princeton!: Take liberally
Friday, 15 May 2009
by Will Saborio
You may have read about Princeton suing Barr Laboratories for infringing on a patent the University has on cancer drug, Alimta. We’re living in a recession and people might be strapped for creativity, sure, but Barr don’t seem to be the only ones drinking from the Princeton idea-fount. First up, you may have heard Yale’s
