Naked Parties Happen Here
Friday, 22 October 2010
by David Walter
Yale and Brown might have already gotten the full NYT treatment for their own “naked parties” — low-key shindigs where bare-skinned students drink wine, eat cheese, and just, you know, “be.” But it seems as if Princeton’s finally caught up with the times. Here’s the invite the event’s organizers shared with The Ink. From: XXXXXX@princeton.edu

Ever wonder just how influential a given document has been on THE ENTIRE COLLECTED HISTORY OF ACADEMIA? Worry no more! Thanks to the Princeton dynamic duo of David Blei, assistant professor of Computer Science, and Sean Gerrish, a doctoral student in the same department, in a couple of years you, too, will be able to

Thursday, 21 October 2010
by Julia Bumke
Midterms are upon us! If you’re desperate for some Firestone-free time this weekend, these arts events are the perfect antidote to a tortured soul: As Spencer discussed earlier this week, the free weekend movies at The Garden Theater are basically the coolest thing since sliced bread. Up this weekend: Dinner for Shmucks at 11:30pm, The

Lupe Fiasco Hits Princeton, Waxes Philosophical, Doesn’t Rap
Wednesday, 20 October 2010
by Giri Nathan
Dr. Cornel West, in typical baller fashion, invited rapper Lupe Fiasco to his AAS 201 lecture today. According to Naomi Wood ’13, Lupe “discusssed why he uses the n-word; social consciousness; parallels in his lyrics and Afro-American texts; censorship; and the relationship between his [Muslim] faith and his life as an artist.” Students remarked how

Free Movies @ The Garden Theater: Best Thing the USG’s Ever Done
Tuesday, 19 October 2010
by Spencer Gaffney
Readers who have been checking out The Ink from its days as just a fledgling blog know that I never miss an opportunity to trash the USG (whether over ineffectual grade deflation measures, uncontested elections, the Becca Lee decision, election snafus – you get the picture). So, as I stood in line outside the Garden
Tales from the (Firestone) Crypt
Tuesday, 19 October 2010
by Giri Nathan
Firestone Library stacks are equipped with cranks so that you can open and close adjacent bookshelves as necessary. Perhaps you have already associated these mechanisms with medieval torture devices; if not, this chilling tale should make the connection a little more explicit. Deep in the belly of Firestone, Dan Feinberg ’13 was lurking betwixt the

This is Something I Pass by at Least Once a Week
Tuesday, 19 October 2010
by Ellen Shakespear
And think to myself, “What even is this?” “Why is it filled with concrete?” “Is that a … spigot?” So this week I continued my walk down Nassau Street but also sent some e-mails to those in the know. According to University Architect Emeritus Jon Hlafter and Associate University Architect Natalie Shivers: The National Register

Things that were different in 1955: Princeton football
Tuesday, 19 October 2010
by Will Saborio
The good ol’ days! Couple things of note: 1. Our beating Yale used to be newsreel-worthy; the game was called “the Ivy League climax.” Hard to get on Sportscenter nowadays. (0:06) 2. Tailgates used to be less brews, tees, and jeans, and more tweed and awkward separation of the sexes. (0:07) 3. Is that… Quad?

Popping the Bubble: Titusville’s Anti-Gravity Hill
Tuesday, 19 October 2010
by Abby Greene
So remember in third grade when you learned about the apple that fell on Newton’s head and how he discovered this gravity stuff, which basically keeps the world in place and makes sure we don’t just float away? Well, in Titusville, NJ, somebody’s playing a cruel joke on Newton. And on your third grade teacher,

New Robertson foundation will actually fulfill its purpose
Monday, 18 October 2010
by Angela Wu
Remember that lawsuit two years ago involving the Robertson family and the Woodrow Wilson School’s $900 million endowment? (You know, Robertson like Robertson Hall?) In 1961, Charles and Marie Robertson donated $35 million to Princeton, with the purpose of supporting the Wilson School in preparing students for careers in government. In 2002, the Robertson family

Amazing Race: Where Do We Go From Here?
Monday, 18 October 2010
by David Walter
As you may have heard by now, SchwartzDY were eliminated last night on the Amazing Race. I’ll have a post up sometime in the near future about What It All Means, perhaps bundled with similar reflections on Jane Randall’s more successful run on America’s Next Top Model. And by “in the near future,” I mean,

The Next Rule of Four
Monday, 18 October 2010
by Samantha Pergadia
Did you devour The Rule of Four before you came to campus? Do you find yourself singing along to “With a Little Help from My Friends” in Across The Universe to see those shots of Holder courtyard? Do you sneak peeks of The Cinderella Story when your “little sister” has it playing so you can
