“Wait, we have our own student-run radio station?” Lindsey-Paige McCloy ’12 gets that question a lot. The answer? Actually, yeah, we do.

By the grace of the calendar gods, my Princeton Preview weekend happened to include April 24th, the holiday known as Newman’s Day. When I was just a wee prefrosh I watched my host’s roommate scrawl a Sharpie tally on his forearm for every beer he drank, hoping to get to two dozen by the day’s
