Friday, 04 October 2013
by Lauren Wyman
You may have seen these pesky critters in past years around Forbes/Whitman. According to Princeton Patch, the climate of New Jersey is the ripe for the invasion of the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), a species originally from Asia. According to a recent report, NJ had “severe agricultural and nuisance problems” due to the stinkbugs. Between

Hey Princeton! Prefrosh Edition (2012)
Saturday, 21 April 2012
by Lauren Wyman
Oh, Prefrosh. We watch them stumble around campus clad in orange lanyards and various articles of freshly bought Princeton gear, earnestly proclaiming that they “love Princeton already” and that “the architecture is to my liking.” But, what’s really going on behind those confused faces, those adorable mouths filled with braces? The UPC roved around last

Sunday, 02 October 2011
by Lauren Wyman
Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do–even if that gotta involves spending a Saturday night in a library. UPC hears you out. We’re giving a voice to the voiceless, to those hushed by librarians on Saturday nights, when nobody should ever be working, really. HEY GUY BEHIND THE DESK IN LEWIS BASEMENT! So,

In Princeton Borough and Princeton Township–the home of anthrax scares, bear cubs and the ever so popular campus masturbators–nothing fails to surprise. We’ve got beavers, cool embryos and more for this week in news. Here we go! Princeton is once again wrapped up in zoological drama, the second round following the bear cub hullabaloo back

Wednesday, 27 April 2011
by Lauren Wyman
After yesterday’s gluttonous shenanigans, are you beginning to question the likelihood of you hanging with Jesus in the afterlife? Well, wonder no more. Yesterday afternoon, Chuck–a deacon for many years–stood on Nassau Street between Witherspoon and Washington, giving out free “Heaven Tests.” Intrigued? So was I. Here is the conversation that I had with Chuck.

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

Yo, Pre-frosh! Don’t Know What to Buy? Look Here!
Sunday, 27 February 2011
by Lauren Wyman
Ah, spring. Shakespeare once penned that spring is here “when daisies pied, and violets blue, And lady-smocks all silver-white, Do paint the meadows with delight.” Lovely, isn’t it? But, see, here at Princeton the signs of spring revolve not around daisies and violets and all things allergy-inducing but rather around the following: weird bugs, skaters, and

Thursday, 03 February 2011
by Lauren Wyman
You know that elaborate Arts and Transit Neighborhood the university was planning on building where the current Dinky station is? Yeah, not happening. After the Borough and the Township failed to agree on zoning for the neighborhood at Monday night’s joint meeting, Tilghman and Durkee decided to pull the plug on current plans. Tilghman said

IN PRINT: Brainstorming to Reduce School Spending
Friday, 21 January 2011
by Lauren Wyman
It’s pretty cool that Princeton is a historical town—I mean, just think about it. Princeton townspeople of the 1700s in pilgrim hats and buckle shoes would gather and chat about what’s up with George Washington. Fast forward two-and-a-half centuries and the Princeton Board of Education called such a town meeting (no pilgrim hats required, though) on
