So yesterday, I was walking up the stairs of Blair Arch with a few friends when we started hearing strains of drumming and yelling in the distance. There was cheering and some singing, and I could definitely feel a heavy bass. But it was also 6 p.m., pretty early for anyone to start pregaming (not

Weekend Arts Roundup: Dance, Drama (and T-minus 1 week!)
Thursday, 21 April 2011
by Julia Bumke
Only one week to go, guys! Most of this weekend’s events (even the theater performances!) clock in at under 2 hours, so they’re perfect for a mid-evening study break to get you through the final push. Keep calm, carry on–and enjoy! First up, the New Play Festival–which runs this weekend and into next week–features two

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and … Dodge!

Let’s be honest, Princeton. We were never the super-athletes growing up. We liked the library, not P.E. We were nerds, and proud of it. We were also always the last ones picked in gym, no matter what sport, and apparently we never really got over it. Dodgeball, according to the sport’s eminent authority Patches O’Houlihan, is
Fire Safety’s Coming, Quick! Hide the Toaster!
Tuesday, 19 April 2011
by Vivienne Chen
As a member of a guilty quad that has been graciously spared the wrath of Fire Safety fines three times this year, I really shouldn’t be poking fun at them. But come on– tapestries? Princetonians, take note. Here are some Fire Safety notices about dorm room fixtures that, who would have thought, aren’t kosher (a shout

Study: Ivy Leaguers Want More Sex

The higher your tuition, the hornier you are. At least, that’s what our friends over at OkCupid concluded after studying the activity of nearly 20,000 of their users. Among their most interesting claims? Given a 36-week school year and the average partner, every $2,000 spent on your college tuition is an extra time you could

USG Knows What We Want
Monday, 18 April 2011
by Alice Su
For those who don’t take the time to pore over the details of Yaro’s emails, his latest introduced a new initiative that may be the most astute campus project that the USG has ever undertaken: a FREE FOOD listserv. The email blurb reads: Do you like free food? Then you’ll love our new FreeFood listserv.
Oh, Wait: Is That Justin Bieber in Spelman?
Sunday, 17 April 2011
by Lauren Wyman
Walking around campus at night, you see the typical sights: darkened trees, the occasional raccoon … and, you know, Justin Bieber staring at you motionlessly from the 3rd floor of Spelman 7. A campus trend of late is to put stunningly lifelike cardboard cut outs of gossip.com’s favorite male heartthrobs in dorm windows, turn on

Even today’s truly un-springlike weather didn’t keep students away from the Southern Society Pig Pickin’ Barbecue, an annual event that’s pretty hard to miss if you spend any time in Dod Courtyard. Princeton’s southern contingent puts out quite a spread – biscuits, sweet tea, watermelon, and corn on the cob – but the centerpiece was

Getting To Know the Ice of the Tiger
Saturday, 16 April 2011
by Ellen Shakespear
As the prefrosh snake their way through the Activities Fair at Dillon to grab free goodies from rows of tables this week, we at The Ink have been spending some time thinking about some of the quirkier, less-visible clubs on campus. A little review of upcoming events on Point led us directly to “Ice of the

Princeton stole the show at the first-ever New York Google Games last Saturday, which brought 175 students hailing from Columbia, NYU, Stony Brook, Rutgers, Princeton to Google’s NYC headquarters for some head-to-head competition. It was sort of like a heptathlon, but not one any track fans out there would recognize. Teams vied to be the

Hey Princeton! Mustache edition
Friday, 15 April 2011
by Angela Wu
Friday night’s annual student gala at the Princeton Art Museum, “This is Collage,” featured music, students dressed as famous artists, and large platters of Olives cookies. But one of the main draws to the well-attended event: a table kept well stocked with fake mustaches of various shapes. We asked some attendees to tell us the

Weekend Arts Roundup: Festivals, preFrosh, and the Fiery Furnaces

As this week’s prefrosh descend like locusts–bringing Shirley T’s patented Perfect-Preview-Weather along with them–there are lots of exciting arts events on hand to make this weekend an enjoyable one. Get out into the sunshine, savor the post-thesis existence (or, if you’re a junior, take a break from JP hibernation), and bring your prospective students along–there’s
