Lawnparties: Egalitarian?
Monday, 21 September 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
Ah, the night after Lawnparties. The campus is quiet, what with most of the student body still passed out from that 6 p.m. “nap.” The seersucker suit has been carefully hung back up in the closet, and the campus should stop smelling like stale beer around midday tomorrow. (Just kidding, freshmen. It always smells like
The Freshman’s Guide to Princeton: Dorm Life
Wednesday, 16 September 2009

Ah, Frosh Week. A bright spot in the lives of all Princeton students, the sweet collective calm before the furious academic storm of a school year. I see it now: brightly-clad freshmen wandering across campus in gaggles of eight, collectively lost despite three maps in hand; disheveled 20-somethings handing me overpriced textbooks in the basement

Week in Review: July 27 – August 2 (Law and Order Edition)
Sunday, 02 August 2009
by Will Saborio
During summer, when there are no parties to break, or drunk students to catch urinating, what exactly does PSafe do? Catch criminals, that’s what. In this week’s edition: Water guns? Public lewdness? Princeton quickly becomes the next possible locale of a CSI spin-off. Meanwhile, The New Yorker is all like, “You guys were so right

Week in Review: July 20 – 26
Sunday, 26 July 2009

Slow week here at the Ink desk, but we’ve scrounged around some bits for you. This week’s theme is “disappointment.” Princeton gets beat out in two things it holds most dearly: being compared to Hogwarts and making money. There’s a band called Princeton, but not at all related to the university. Also, we reconsider the

Princeton Kids are Smoking What?
Monday, 18 May 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
We here at The Ink normally try to stay away from sensational stories about Ivy League kids doing crazy drugs. But stand back. We’re about to break our own rule. OPIUM? What the hell? I mean, I guess the drug has a cool retro appeal. While the kids going out to “80s Night” blow lines
Princeton!: Take liberally

You may have read about Princeton suing Barr Laboratories for infringing on a patent the University has on cancer drug, Alimta. We’re living in a recession and people might be strapped for creativity, sure, but Barr don’t seem to be the only ones drinking from the Princeton idea-fount. First up, you may have heard Yale’s
Star-studded Princeton
Tuesday, 12 May 2009
by Will Saborio
We all know the feeling. That giddy little spark of recognition when watching House (“That’s Frist!”) or A Beautiful Mind (“That’s in front of Nassau Hall!”), and pretty soon, Transformers 2 (“That’s… not Penn.”) With Princeton making it to the silver screen so often, it’s no surprise that a recent story on the AP newswire

Townies want universities, even students, to pay up
Saturday, 09 May 2009
by Angela Wu
Since local residents called for Princeton to give its money away in April, more townies have been demanding greater (monetary) contributions from private universities to support their communities, according to an article in the New York Times. You guys, it’s the economy! And it’s not just that the locals want tax-exempt universities to make “voluntary

If Facebook’s “What’s on your mind?” and Twitter’s “What are you doing?” just aren’t doing it for your social broadcasting needs, then you might be happy to hear there’s a new way to let everyone be a voyeur of your life: TigerFinder! Ever found yourself wishing you could let everyone know where you are every
Princeton HS sends precautionary letter, parent freaks out
Wednesday, 29 April 2009
by Angela Wu
After the Princeton Regional Schools District sent out a letter about swine flu, a worried parent “panicked” and sent out an e-mail that sent parents all across this quaint little hamlet of Princeton scurrying to pull their children out of class. From the Trenton Times: The parent allegedly became worried about the potential for swine flu

Princeton Then and Now: Dancing
Wednesday, 29 April 2009
by Brian No
With Houseparties approaching faster than we can finish our JPs, we thought we’d offer some inspiration and share some pictures of a Princeton dance in 1960, before coeducation (via Ivy-Style). Note the awkwardness:

Angry taxpayers want to put Princeton on “the Jon Stewart Show”
Tuesday, 28 April 2009
by Angela Wu
Princeton Citizens for Tax Fairness, a group that has been supported by both local Democrats and Republicans, is mad. Because they have to pay taxes, and Princeton has a lot of money, so why can’t they just pay and make all of our problems go away? They’re organizing to move Princeton to pay its “fair share
