by Nathan Serota
University Press Club is the only organization on campus to offer you the chance to work for real newspapers and magazines, to get paid for your writing, and to make connections with the “who’s who” of the journalism world. This week, we’re kicking off our annual Candidates Period, a three-month application process to join the
Politics in the Age of New Media
Monday, 24 September 2012
by Nathan Serota
How will the changing landscape of journalism affect this year’s election coverage? How do you stay one step ahead November’s non-stop political news cycle? Mike Allen, chief political reporter for Politico, author of the daily “Playbook,” and “The Man the White House Wakes Up To” will be coming to campus to discuss political reporting in the age of

Crystal Stilts Play Pop at Terrace Tonight
Thursday, 19 April 2012
by Nathan Serota
[Prefrosh, do this.] Crystal Stilts, a somewhat established surfy NY garage band, bring their “zoned dream pop a la 1986” to Terrace this evening. For those ballsy previewers looking to get scrapey on a moped out dancefloor, tonight’s the night. I can personally assure you the Stilts will top most any Preview activity on the

Forbes Vegetarian Night: Meet Hot Chicks
Thursday, 12 April 2012
by Nathan Serota
Last night was vegetarian night at Forbes College and smiling faces abounded. I sort of felt like a Brown student, which is a rare feeling to have on this campus. I saw a couple of pairs of Birkenstocks and plenty of OA shirts, and light poured in from the golf course on a sun-kissed hummus

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

Dancers Talking Sh#t
Monday, 13 February 2012
by Nathan Serota
[NOTE TO READER: THIS POST MAKES FREQUENT USE OF EXPLETIVES.] This shit was going to happen eventually. Add it to the list of national trends trickling on to this campus (see Occupy Wall Street). On January 17th, BodyHype unleashed its own spin on “Shit girls say,” a YouTube phenomenon where in dudes in drag make

Whitman to Save H.P.
Saturday, 24 September 2011
by Nathan Serota
Meg Whitman, residential college matriarch and former CEO of eBay, was named Chief Executive of Hewlett-Packard last Thursday. Like most Whitman news, the decision appears fairly controversial. She’s been tapped to resuscitate the tech giant from its currently lagging state. H.P. recently revamped their general sales strategy and is (finally) reevaluating the state of its

Saturday, 03 September 2011
by Nathan Serota
Another Princetonian is likely to join the Obama administration this Fall. Earlier this week, the President nominated Princeton economics professor Alan Krueger to head the White House Council of Economic Advisors (CEA). In addition to teaching labor economics, Krueger has contributed an impressive quantity of novel research to the study of labor markets. His work

Beachcombing: A Professorial Mixtape
Tuesday, 16 August 2011
by Nathan Serota
The “summer jam” is certainly a cliché — the type of hymn or tune that can only come out of your tattered Jeep Wrangler or FJ Cruiser (for the modern, upper-middle class bohemian). But the “summer jam” — “summer song”, “sound of the summer,” whatever incarnation you please — is one of those weighty clichés
Week In Review: Connoisseurs In Debt Edition (June 19 – June 25)
Wednesday, 29 June 2011
by Nathan Serota
Approaching the deep patriotic recesses of summer 2011, Princeton newsmakers seem to have taken a bit of time to focus on their tastes. From the discriminating pages of The New Yorker to an Ivy League pop-up shop, if anything ties this past Week in Review together, it is of the lighter nature. The July 4th

Reminding You That Reunions Are Ever-Approaching
Monday, 25 April 2011
by Nathan Serota
Like an atom bomb or the end of the world or the Macy’s Day Parade. Whether or not you knew it, Reunions (i.e. “the perennial Ivy League blowout kegger” referred to in a GQ exposé last year) are coming. Can’t you hear it — the pitter-patter of hundreds of alumni footsteps, canes and wheelchairs, the slurping from

From K-Pop & J-Pop to Princeton
Tuesday, 22 March 2011
by Nathan Serota
Generally, academia downplays its commentary on popular culture and music. Among advertised lectures and academic events at Princeton, those relating to [bio]ethics, politics and African-American studies certainly reign supreme (though recently one might make a case for Irish Studies). However, this weekend, discourse on contemporary music literally gets in the mix. Enter K-Pop. On March
