Wednesday, 15 June 2011
by Giri Nathan
A bit of shuffling over at the helm of The Daily Princetonian: Ameena Schelling ’12 was appointed the new editor-in-chief after Gabriel Debenedetti ’12 resigned for “personal reasons.” Schelling, who formerly served as managing editor, took over as per Prince bylaws, and she’ll hold the position until February 1. Debenedetti declined to comment, citing the

On Prince Archives–and Ruining Any Chance You Have of Running for President?
Friday, 18 February 2011
by Angela Wu
Last May, the Prince and Mudd Library launched the Larry DuPraz Digital Archives, which offers scans of The Daily Princetonian from its early issues in 1876 through 2002. Going through the collection, named after the paper’s former production manager and informal adviser, is like stepping back in history. I highly recommend it, when you’re feeling

The Dark Knight Returns; Or, Batman’s Back At Princeton
Thursday, 09 December 2010
by David Walter
Last week’s bat sighting in the Daily Princetonian building got me thinking (in numbered list form): 1a) What other critters might “accidentally” find their way into the office of Princeton’s paper of record? And which of those animals would be big enough, strange enough, “newsworthy” enough, to force Da’ Prince’ to violate one of the

You may remember a few weeks back that a controversial op-ed in the Prince got quite a stir started both on campus and around the country, especially on the Internet.

Prince joke issue really stresses out College Confidential posters
Saturday, 16 January 2010
by Angela Wu
College Confidential, virtual home to thousands of angsty 17-year-olds college-prepped to within an inch of their lives, is a pretty easy gauge for the general College Admissions Stress Level. This week’s stress-inducer: The Prince’s annual joke issue–specifically, “Princeton sees steep drop in applications for Class of 2014.” (Oh, Class of 2014…we’re a little worried for

Thursday, 19 November 2009
by Angela Wu
Sure, you might read a copy of the Prince while eating your cornflakes, or grab a Nassau Weekly off the table when you head out of the dining hall–but campus media is headed to the Internet. Princeton’s newest publications–Equal Writes, American Education Review, which launches in December, and this blog–have all been web-only, and will

Friday, 10 April 2009
by Will Saborio
The Prince reported this week that “tweeting” has increased in popularity recently, and has attracted the attention of a few big names on Princeton’s campus, namely Melissa Harris-Lacewell and Cornel West. Not mentioned was Peter Singer, who also updates his Twitter quite frequently. It’s to be expected that these update-streams from noted scholars at a prestigious institution should

Friday, 06 March 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
It’s a cold Friday night in the dead of winter, and none of the major basketball conferences have games. What’s an addictive professional gambler to do? Well, according to this New York Times article, the answer can be found in a small cult of gamblers who bet on Ivy League basketball games religiously every Friday
