Hey Princeton! New Locks Are Not So User-Friendly
Saturday, 31 March 2012
by Dana Bernstein
Hey Princeton! So what’s the deal with these new keyless locks? I can function for days on four hours of sleep, and I can write a paper in a day, but what can’t I do? Get into my own room. Poor little homeless Princeton girl. Apparently, I’m not alone: HEY GUY WEARING SHORTS EVEN THOUGH

Pi Phi X Baby Jesus Tank Top 2012
Friday, 30 March 2012
by Nathan Serota
[WARNING: THIS IS NOT A DOCTORED IMAGE] This is a picture of this year’s surprisingly dope Pi Phi tank, but with a sizeable, screen-printed emblem of baby Jesus on the back, perhaps an egregious printer error, perhaps a sign from the Big Man Upstairs… Hold up, wait, what? Take another look. Nearly 200 Pi Phi

Ricky Silberman, Matzo Ball King
Friday, 30 March 2012
by Abby Klionsky
Ricky Silberman ‘13 mobilized a significant proportion of the student body at Princeton to vote for him last month. He wasn’t in any of the contests that students typically spam listservs about: start-up ideas, USG elections, filmmaking competitions. Instead, Ricky needed votes to become the fifth and final contestant in the 6th Annual Man-o-Manischewitz Cook-Off.

Childish Gambino at Lawnparties, Maybe
Thursday, 29 March 2012
by Charlie Marsh
Edit: USG has confirmed that Gambino is in fact, a mastermind. (But do I hear a hint of uncertainty about the finalized details over bringing him here? “Anything can happen in show business?”) Via The ‘Prince’: it seems Childish Gambino will be headlining Lawnparties this spring! I have to say, their announcement comes off as a

Watch These People Dole Out the Fates of Thousands of High Schoolers
Thursday, 29 March 2012
by Giri Nathan
Maybe you’ve already heard about the record-low 7.86% admit rate out of 26,664 applications, but in this digital age you’ve probably forgotten that all 26,664 of those strivers still need to be notified by mail, by physical things made of out paper. Which makes for a lot of paper. Check out admissions folk loading all those

Oz Comes to Princeton
Sunday, 11 March 2012
by Dana Bernstein
Princeton was transformed into the land of Oz Thursday evening—not the wizard, the doctor. A highly-anticipated event, Dr. Oz’ lecture on mental health was both informative and entertaining, including an interactive demonstration on proper breathing techniques and a comical display by Oz of the beer belly. Below are some gems of the night: You’re worth
Beautiful Day in the Bubble

Disclaimer: this post is intended for people who didn’t make it outside today (read: people who still have gastro, and seniors with looming thesis-draft deadlines). If you did go outside today–and enjoyed it–make sure you go outside tomorrow, too, because it’s supposed to be even nicer. We didn’t have much of a winter to complain

Brooks Brothers Hits Nassau
Wednesday, 07 March 2012
by Lauren Zumbach
Apparently the U Store’s selection of Princeton-themed Brooks Brothers sweaters and ties wasn’t enough to fill our insatiable, stereotype-fulfilling demand for all things preppy. Coming soon to Palmer Square: an entire Brooks Brothers store, scheduled to open September 1st – just in time for Lawnparties. (Coincidence? I think not.) Of course, given Princeton’s sartorial reputation,

John Nash Looking At Things
Tuesday, 06 March 2012
by Vivienne Chen
Much like the late Kim Jong-il who liked to stare at things (and not unrelated to his son Kim Jon Un clapping at things), our beloved and often incomprehensible mathematician John Nash also likes to look at things. Edit: We realize this is probably not good for any of his lingering paranoia that people are watching
Fettuccine from the Future
Tuesday, 06 March 2012
by Giri Nathan
The highlight of tonight’s U-Store run was uncovering the following artifact from the future: For a mere $3.99, D’Angelo’s offers you a taste of the late 21st century. Their distinctive medley of pasta, roasted peppers, and grilled chicken is prophesied to dominate Summer 2088. Perhaps I’ll enjoy some at my 75th Reunion. But given the
