What to do When you Hit the NYTimes Paywall
Friday, 01 April 2011
by Ellen Shakespear
It took me less than four days to run nose-first into the new nytimes.com paywall. When the screen popped up, I felt both strangely guilty about consuming all this free journalism for years—but also totally peeved. It looked a little something like this: Since March 28, the much-debated paywall put up by the New York

IN PRINT: Mario Vargas Llosa keeps his eye on teaching

You might have heard Mario Vargas Llosa, Visiting Lecturer in Creative Writing for the Lewis Center, won the Nobel Prize in Literature a few weeks ago. So you’d think, hey, guy’s a big deal, probably wants to get out a place like Princeton. Nope. Vargas Llosa still happily gets up at 5:30 a.m., boards NJTransit
Naked Parties Happen Here
Friday, 22 October 2010
by David Walter
Yale and Brown might have already gotten the full NYT treatment for their own “naked parties” — low-key shindigs where bare-skinned students drink wine, eat cheese, and just, you know, “be.” But it seems as if Princeton’s finally caught up with the times. Here’s the invite the event’s organizers shared with The Ink. From: XXXXXX@princeton.edu

IN PRINT: Dirty Jersey Politics
Tuesday, 12 October 2010
by David Walter
Even before the events of this past week, the U.S. Congressional race between Democratic incumbent John Adler and Republican challenger Jon Runyan wasn’t lacking for a compelling storyline. Adler is a fast-talking lawyer trying to hold on to his seat in South Jersey’s right-leaning Third District; Runyan, the man seeking to unseat him, was until

Timelessness of Tigertown’s Prepster Chic
Sunday, 25 July 2010
by Julia Bumke
As we dredge hopelessly through the dog days of summer, with New York experiencing one of its hottest July weekends on record, it makes sense that we’re all getting a little back-to-school-fever. Case in point: the front page of today’s New York Times Sunday Style section, which featured a story on the timelessness of Ivy

IN PRINT: Dorm Rooms of the Stars
Thursday, 27 May 2010
by David Walter
Just in time for Reunions, a heaping dose of Princetoniana in the New York Times. Ever wonder where Elena Kagan lived while she was a Tiger? Sonia Sotomayor? Bill Bradley? The University doesn’t publicize any of that information, but it’s available in the school’s archives. Not all famous rooms have lasted into the 21st century,

IN PRINT: The Dinky Gets the NY Times Treatment
Saturday, 15 May 2010
by David Walter
PRINCETON, N.J. — The run of the train known as the Princeton Dinky is both impressively long and unusually short. For 145 years, this rail link in a college town has ferried students and commuters over the briefest of distances. But Year 146 has not been kind to the nation’s shortest regularly scheduled commuter route,

Frisbee days of Princeton yore
Saturday, 20 February 2010
by Miriam Geronimus
Ever wonder how the frisbee got its start? Right here at Princeton! That’s right, the hippie sport(?) began as the privileged past time of Ivy League elites, especially Princetonians, in the spring of 1957. An article about the fad even appeared in the New York Times on August 11, 1957, written by Gay Talese. Called

IN PRINT: NYT On Grade Deflation
Saturday, 30 January 2010
by David Walter
The Times gives its take on the policy most Princeton students love to hate (or just hate): WHEN Princeton University set out six years ago to corral galloping grade inflation by putting a lid on A’s, many in academia lauded it for taking a stand on a national problem and predicted that others would follow. But
