by Dana Bernstein
Spotted Friday afternoon: Princeton male students sporting blazers and khaki shorts while their female counterparts were clad in preppy sundresses.

If this is your life-size inflatable basketball player, you should know that you successfully terrified me last night when I walked past your room. Congratulations. Also, one of your co-Spelman dwellers has a life-size cutout of Justin Bieber. ‘Nuff said.
