Princeton FML Sort of Sucks. FML.
Monday, 30 November 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
Remember that post a few weeks ago about the impending Princeton FML site? Well, it’s here, and so far the posts have been less than stellar. Look, college-specific FML sites are a great idea. The best moments on sites like FML come when you’re nodding your head while you’re laughing, because the comment rings true.

Mr. Ohlendorf goes to Washington
Sunday, 29 November 2009
by David Walter
Welcome back to campus, Inkblots! It’s been lonely without you. If you’re at all like me (and don’t worry, you’re probably not), you spent at least one sad hour of your break realizing how you’ve already missed the application deadlines for, like, twenty awesome summer internships. And now you’ve resolved to really buckle down and

Twitter catch-up: Hard feelings edition
Tuesday, 24 November 2009
by Will Saborio
So because I’ve been in Oxford for something like three months now, and am completely out of touch with Princeton (and much of America), I turn, sometimes, to a trusted news source to catch up on things orange and black: Twitter. I jest. To some degree. (Come on, it’s hard finding legit campus news from

Well, writes, actually – about being disinvited from Princeton. Read it here. An excerpt: I understand why Jewish groups disinvited me after Muslim pressure, since they are the ones who must live daily with Muslim groups who can make life unpleasant…. By stifling free speech, shaming speakers of the truth and calling them names, we

Sophomore Runs for President; Princeton Forgets to Tell Freshmen No One Cares About USG
Monday, 23 November 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
The USG just released the list of candidates running in the winter 2009 elections (full list here). A couple quick things worth noting about this year’s candidate pool: The majority of positions will not be contested! Seven positions (ULC Chair, Academics Chair, Treasurer, and both Senate seats for the classes of 2011 and 2012) have
IN PRINT: A treasury of French images for youngsters

If you only ever venture into Firestone because of an awkwardly-scheduled precept, here’s another reason to visit the library. It might not be as compelling as that participation grade, but the Cotsen Children’s Library at Firestone is currently exhibiting a rare collection of French prints for children from the nineteenth century–before the age of TinTin

On the Tory’s Gender-Neutral housing issue
Monday, 23 November 2009
by David Walter
Things I’m thankful for this November: British electropop, $2 eggrolls at the U-Store, and The Princeton Tory. Passion at Princeton thrills me. Students here are often accused of being apathetic; Tory writers are anything but. No subject is too large or too small for the publication to take on. Any brutal assault on our moral heritage

Things I Wish Would Happen While I’m Eating Lunch…
Monday, 23 November 2009
by Brian No
…A musical number from Les Miserables, of course! Well, actually, no. But still, as this Youtube video (via Yale Daily News) attests, it was pretty epic when it happened during lunch in Davenport College (one of Yale’s 12 residential colleges). The clip shows a group of students spontaneously belting out a rendition of “One Day

Princeton has fired head football coach Roger Hughes, the Associated Press reported Sunday. Hughes was 47-52 during his ten year tenure at Princeton. The Tigers finished this season 4-6 after beating Dartmouth Saturday. Princeton went 9-1 in 2006, winning the Ivy League. But Hughes had only two other winning seasons since coming to Princeton in

IN PRINT: Kindles Suck!
Sunday, 22 November 2009
by Brian No
Okay, we’re all getting pretty sick of the same old Kindle story: it sucks! But here’s one more anyway. Sorry! Over the summer, I received an unexpected e-mail from the University about my upcoming “Civil Society” seminar with Professor Stanley Katz. Would I like to receive a $489 Kindle DX e-reader at no cost —
