Thursday, 21 July 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
It’s getting to be that point in the summer when you realize just how much has already gone by, particularly since most of this week’s Princeton news has a decidedly academic bent. So, after some sad news from the Triangle community, stick around for some tidbits that will start the gradual process of getting your

In the wake of the procrastination extravaganza that was the Dean’s Date Liveblog, we here at The Ink feel a little guilty about our unintentional, but, we fear, effective, complicity in achieving the grade deflation quotas. Sadly, we can’t do much to help you out with that orgo final. But we can help you bone

Greeks Under Attack?
Thursday, 05 May 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
It’s the latest installment of the University-Greek scene faceoff – this time under the guise of the innocuously-named Report of the Working Group on Campus Social & Residential Life. The report begins with Princeton, A History: Social Edition. It goes all the way back to when Princeton was known as the College of New Jersey,

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and … Dodge!
Thursday, 21 April 2011

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

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

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

Getting to Know the USG: First Annual Report
Thursday, 14 April 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
The USG published its first annual report Monday, giving us an inside look at what exactly our student government does with $166,172.50 each year. Many of the initiatives described were projects we already know and love – Lawnparties & Houseparties festivities, Garden Theater movies, and the like. But even more interesting was the chance to

Princetonians Protest Something Other Than Hummus
Tuesday, 05 April 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
You might want to sit down for this: Princeton students were protesting in Frist today, and hummus was nowhere in sight. But don’t worry, we haven’t dropped our exclusively food-oriented take on social issues. Maybe there weren’t any chickpeas, bananas, or students masquerading as packed meat, but there was a giant ear of corn. The

To All the Doubters…

The lights were on at Cannon Club today, another sign this year’s revival attempt is the real deal. That or it’s haunted. Given the epic Cannon lore (see G. 3.), I’d say it’s a toss-up. Thanks to Mary Balzer ’13 for the photo.
