EGR 495: China, Entrepreneurship, and Inventive Quests for the Perfect Push-Up Bra
Thursday, 18 February 2010
by Julia Bumke
Anyone who argues that us Ivy Leaguers don’t think outside the box clearly hasn’t heard about EGR 495. In the course, Special Topics in Entrepreneurship, students designed products and created ad campaigns to sell them, infomercial style (as The Princeton Packet described last month). The designs were then presented to a panel of judges compiled

Wild Animus Hits Princeton!
Monday, 08 February 2010
by Spencer Gaffney
Anyone noticed the shrink-wrapped box sets littering dorm hallways, mysteriously titled “Wild Animus”? We did, and our fancy was struck, so we decided to do a little digging. What are these bizarre boxes? How did they get here? And what do they want with us? We took to the information superhighway in search of answers.

Princeton on (and in) Haiti
Thursday, 14 January 2010
by Julia Bumke
As we slog on through reading period, it’s important for us to take some time and acknowledge the sheer terror that has overcome Haiti following its 7.0 earthquake on Tuesday morning. The Princeton University Chapel is holding a vigil tonight at 5 to honor those affected by the earthquake, and Princetonians have already created a

Medical Bud for the Garden State
Tuesday, 12 January 2010
by Miriam Geronimus
While Princeton students have been burying their heads in their laptops and textbooks, oblivious to the outside world — well, except for the occasional Facebook “study break” or “Whitman wail” — the state of New Jersey has been making headlines. The New Jersey Legislature passed a measure to legalize medical marijuana. And the bill was

Today in the NYT: Palestinian-American and Jewish students are friends.
Saturday, 09 January 2010
by Angela Wu
So it’s a slow news um, month here in snowy Princeton–a month of no classes, of students shuffling to and from Firestone’s confining basement floors, greeting each other with the number of pages they’ve yet to finish before Tuesday, at 4 pm. Welcome to reading period at Princeton. But things are still happening, Inkblots! Real

All I Want For Christmas is You, Tiger…
Friday, 18 December 2009
by Julia Bumke
Ah, the wonders of the holiday season: a tree in Palmer Square that’s approximately ten trillion feet tall, a barrage of simply lovely end-of-term assignments, and, of course, the eternal quest for some cute Inkblot to kiss under the mistletoe. Never fear, Tigers! Former USG President Josh Weinstein ’09 has the site for you. Goodcrush.com,

Harvard Student Says Something a Princetonian Would Never Say: College Is Too Easy!
Monday, 28 September 2009
by Brian No
Imagine a Princeton student saying that the academics here are just too darn easy and that the school should get harder. Why yes, please deflate our grades even more! And can we tackle another JP or two while we’re at it? This, I promise you, is something no Princetonian would ever utter. Which is why

Things that used to be better when I was your age… Jobs.
Wednesday, 23 September 2009
by Eric Dodds
I remember a time, not so very long ago, when jobs were just these things that old people had to get when they left college. It didn’t sound like very much fun. After all, you had to leave college and go into this “real world” that everyone is always talking about. No more intramural sports,

Genius geoscience professor makes it rain
Tuesday, 22 September 2009
by Will Saborio
Today in people who are way smarter than any of us could ever imagine being: Princeton geoscience professor Daniel Sigman was named a MacArthur Fellow for 2009 for his work as a biogeochemist. This means he’s going to receive a “genius grant” and a huge wad of cash worth $500,000 – with “no strings attached,”
