by Giri Nathan
Had enough of the clunky, buggy, bland webmail of old? There is hope yet. According to USG president Mike Yaroshefsky, OIT has a whole new site in the works — they’ve got a functional version up and they’re currently gathering feedback, says an anonymous tipster. The Ink took this new version for a little test

Take a tour of Princeton, circa 1962
Wednesday, 28 July 2010
by Angela Wu
There’s something about college tours that has always made me feel a little weird. Maybe it’s because I know that those college legends aren’t true (like that one about the bulldog on the chapel–if you don’t know it, you should probably take an Orange Key Tour). Or maybe because I’ve always wished that tour guides

If you’ve found yourself losing sleep this summer, spending long, agonizing hours wondering what your beloved Princeton is doing with itself in your absence, read on.

Timelessness of Tigertown’s Prepster Chic
Sunday, 25 July 2010
by Julia Bumke
As we dredge hopelessly through the dog days of summer, with New York experiencing one of its hottest July weekends on record, it makes sense that we’re all getting a little back-to-school-fever. Case in point: the front page of today’s New York Times Sunday Style section, which featured a story on the timelessness of Ivy

Thursday, 15 July 2010
by Samantha Pergadia
Princeton no longer has a monopoly on campus lewdness. Yesterday an email alert went out to all members of the Cornell community with the subject heading “lewd exposure incidents reported on campus.” For the past two weeks, students have reported three separate instances of exhibitionism. The email explains: The first incident took place July 3

Week in Review: Babies and Gravity Edition (July 5 – July 12)
Tuesday, 13 July 2010
by Giri Nathan
Top of the agenda this past week: a really, really smart person says gravity is an “illusion” and LeBron James’s Princeton grad dad emerges from the mist. Wait, what? First off: we pay our respects to Norman Ryder, a revolutionary Princeton sociologist who passed away at the age of 86. Ryder pioneered the “cohort” approach

Saturday, 10 July 2010
by David Walter
Even with the outcome potentially spoiled, CDY on the Amazing Race is just so fascinating to me. In my pre-Princeton life I followed The Amazing Race as fanatically as some people follow football or baseball or the Academy Awards.

(Ed. Note: An earlier version of this post had a long meditation on Connor Diemand-Yauman and the popular reality TV show, The Amazing Race, which was a tad long for your weekly round-up. This rambling will be re-formatted and included in a new forthcoming post later today. Fun!) Top of the agenda: This past weekend
