If you haven’t had Bent Spoon ice cream, you probably don’t go to Princeton. So for our readers (Spencer, don’t be modest!) outside the Orange Bubble, who have never experienced Bent Spoon’s organic/slow/local food snob-approved ice cream, buttercream-frosted cupcakes and hot chocolate–well, I’m sorry. But this is for you. Serious Eats published a review on

Wednesday, 28 October 2009
by David Walter
Though cartoonist – and Daily Prince Op-Ed writer – Kurt Westergaard’s September visit to Princeton ultimately went off without a hitch, all the extra security we gave him wasn’t just for show: authorities just announced the arrest of two Chicago men plotting to murder Westergaard, 74, in his native Denmark. map: wikipedia

Obligatory Ladybug Post
Tuesday, 27 October 2009
by Angela Wu
Overheard in Witherspoon: “I think we just witnessed the death of a ladybug.” FlyByBlog did it. The Prox did it. The Yale Herald did it–kind of. So now we’re doing it: In case you haven’t noticed, there are swarms of ladybugs–or “Multi-Colored Asian Lady Beetles”–on campus. There.

IN PRINT: Princeton Students Join Worldwide Green Effort
Tuesday, 27 October 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
Princeton students are “not usually known for their activism,” said the press release for this past weekend’s 350.org climate change event at Campus Club (usually, we’re too busy studying or drinking to do other stuff).

Safety Watch: Ficus Edition
Tuesday, 27 October 2009
by Will Saborio
So you know Princeton’s a ghetto. We’ve already mapped out the Bloods/Crips/Latin Kings turf for you (watch out Forbes!). What’s the deal now? Who do you call for help? There’s only one name in town. Y’know. Time and again, we’ve written about Public Safety’s obsessive pursuit of justice. Cracking down on water guns, relentlessly pursuing

All right, Princetonians. You’ve committed to a career in Reality TV. And you’ve figured out your Ivy League stereotype. You’re so close now – so very close to pseudosuperstardom. Take a deep breath, swallow your pride, and get ready for… Part 3: Choose A Show There are two types of Reality shows: those that celebrate

The Great Pop-Tarts Mystery
Monday, 26 October 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
It had been a long and arduous Sunday night meeting for the members of the University Press Club. Midterms loomed, work piled up, and the passive voice was used. And above all, we were hungry. Yup. U-Store time. Veep David Walter ’11 led the charge (“the egg rolls are only $2!“) Having already eaten our

Campus Crime from 9/17 to 10/23
Sunday, 25 October 2009
by Brian No
In light of the repeat instances of lewdness and the increasing crime on campus as reported in the Annual Security and Fire Report, we thought it would be useful to see exactly where these crimes happen, and what kind of misdeeds are committed. We’ve plugged in every single crime report–based on Public Safety’s Daily Crime

IN PRINT: Peace in Afghanistan Urged at Local Church

by Spencer Gaffney
The U.S. should withdraw all troops from Afghanistan and should begin to negotiate with the Taliban, the executive secretary for Human Rights and Justice with United Methodist Church Board of Global Ministries said in a speech Wednesday night at Princeton United Methodist Church. How cool is it that his last name is actually “Wildman” ?!
