Prefrosh Officially Freaking Out
Wednesday, 30 March 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
D-Day is upon us. That would be Decision Day, when the fateful email arrives: in? or out? You remember what it’s like to be there. I mean, this isn’t just any shot at acceptance, this determines the next four years of their lives – maybe the rest of their lives. This year’s admission rate was

Eating Club Exposé
Thursday, 10 March 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
Go to the Princeton University homepage, and check out the video feature. Pinch yourself, and look again. No, that’s not a midterms week sleep deprivation-induced hallucination – the eating clubs really are front and center on Princeton’s homepage. The story accompanying the video says it’s meant to improve communication about the clubs and give prospective

Spying on the Spies
Saturday, 26 February 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
Okay, admit it – at some point in your life, however briefly, you looked in the mirror and said, “The name’s Bond … James Bond.” Because really, who wouldn’t want to have a secret agent alter ego? (Or maybe that was just me … but do me a favor and play along, okay?) What you

So I always wondered: what’s the deal with the inspirational quote-inscribed Priority Mail address labels that began mysteriously appearing around campus this year? You’ve probably spotted them around campus – on a metal callbox, the Dinky, a lamppost, or a printer cluster. Well, wonder no longer: they’re the evidence of a project whose mission is simple:

Dear Santa, er, USG …
Wednesday, 16 February 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
The holidays may have come and gone, but the USG is still taking votes on what Princetonians are wishing for. While the USG hasn’t officially commented on the results, voting information from the “Which do you want more?” survey that’s been available on Point for the past month is available at the USG’s All Our

Sure, sure, maybe basketball’s been getting all the attention lately. But I bet you didn’t know Princeton has another team on a winning streak – one that’s finished in the top 4 in the nation for each of the past 5 years and counts multiple individual national champs among it members. That would be the

They Take the Cake
Wednesday, 09 February 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
I’ll be honest: without Jane Randall on ANTM and CDY and Jonathan Schwartz on The Amazing Race, I was starting to go into serious Princeton-on-TV withdrawal. For a couple of months, the Orange Bubble achieved the pinnacle of mainstream media fame — and then the world promptly forgot us, and I could no longer use

Here Comes the Sun

As early as the summer of 2012, Princeton will be looking a little greener. The University plans to install a solar collector field that would generate 8 million kilowatt-hours per year – that’s enough to power 700 homes, or 5.5 percent of Princeton’s total energy use. The 5.3-megawatt solar field will have 16,500 photovoltaic panels,

B.S.E. majors, it’s not just you: everyone hates the course you’re in
Monday, 31 January 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
If the weeklong break wasn’t enough to ease the pain of the last exam period, it might be worth taking another look at your course schedule for the coming semester. Shopping period starts tomorrow, which means it’s time to make good on that resolution to pick classes that will be just as interesting in May

Thursday, 06 January 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
If that mountain of work that you fully intended to get done over break (really, who were you kidding?) has you seriously considering kissing your graduation dreams goodbye, it doesn’t mean your hopes for fame and success are over. After all, dropping out sure worked for Seth Priebatsch, the founder and Chief Ninja of SCVNGR.
