The Great Jewish Food Debate: Moderated by Shirley Tilghman
Tuesday, 12 February 2013
by Bina Peltz
The Center for Jewish Life and Whig-Clio hosted the annual Latke-Hamentaschen Debate this afternoon in the quest of answering the noble, eternal question of, you guessed it: Latkes or Hamentaschen? Two traditional Jewish foods: fried potato pancakes vs. triangular pastries made with sweet fillings. Originating in 1946 at UChicago, The Latke-Hamentaschen Debate is an academic, yet

Quidditch: The Real Clash of the Colleges
Wednesday, 12 September 2012

Welcome back to the land of the Weather Machine! Good thing the Machine was working, since it’s the last of the great outdoors many of us will get to enjoy once classes start and we start holing up in the depths of Firestone. And what a perfect day for the sixth annual Campus Rec Quidditch

Hide and Seek with Princeton Gargoyles
Wednesday, 18 April 2012
by Abby Klionsky
Hey Prefrosh, As you visit campus this weekend and next, we know you’re going to be impressed (and overwhelmed) by all the things they tell you in info sessions, by the theater, dance, a capella, and comedy groups you see perform, and by the general neatness and tidiness of your hosts’ rooms (maybe not). But

Ricky Silberman, Matzo Ball King
Friday, 30 March 2012
by Abby Klionsky
Ricky Silberman ‘13 mobilized a significant proportion of the student body at Princeton to vote for him last month. He wasn’t in any of the contests that students typically spam listservs about: start-up ideas, USG elections, filmmaking competitions. Instead, Ricky needed votes to become the fifth and final contestant in the 6th Annual Man-o-Manischewitz Cook-Off.

If you’ve been following the latest round of USG elections (here’s a refresher if you haven’t), you’ve been waiting with bated breath to find out who will be appointed to fill the vacant 2012 class secretary position. Well, while we don’t know who Lindy & Co. are going to choose, we recently heard about one
IN PRINT: Everyone Loves Einstein. And Princeton is Haunted.

Calling all math nerds, Pi lovers and Einstein devotees! If you’re staying on campus for spring break (so near and yet so painfully far), don’t miss out on the second year of a recently birthed Princeton tradition: Pi Day. Mimi Omicienski of the Princeton Tour Company dreamed up this celebration of all things geeky last

On The Fence
Saturday, 12 February 2011
by Nathan Serota
The Ivy League Fencing Championship is happening now in Jadwin Gymnasium. Sooo haute. Not unlike this, The fencers make lots of noise too. It really is a sight to see, if only because you’ve never been to a fencing duel(?) before. It will likely be going on for at least a few more hours. Correction:
IN PRINT: Princeton Townies Slurp for the Cure
Tuesday, 08 February 2011

When I mentioned to a friend that I was going to the New Jersey Oyster Bowl on Sunday, he looked confused for a second – “What, is that like, an ocean science competition?” Typical Princeton kid. Unfortunately, the Oyster Bowl isn’t related to marine biology in any way. It is, however, a perfect example of
So You Have a Driver’s License, but Does Your Car?
Sunday, 25 April 2010
by Abby Greene
Farewell, days when driving meant a texting hiatus and an inappropriate time to put both hands in the air when dancing to your favorite tunes. If you’ve ever wished your car could just, you know, drive itself, you may soon be in luck. The Princeton Autonomous Vehicle Engineering (PAVE) group is, by their estimation, less
Lost in Translation: German Fashion Invades Princeton

Ever wonder what Princeton would look like in a German infomercial? We hadn’t either. That is, until we saw this video, which refashions Princeton as a German clothing store:
CONTEST: Midterm Mania, Spring ’10
Friday, 05 March 2010
by Will Saborio
We do a lot of work here at Princeton. Probably didn’t have to remind you. And yes, folks, Monday is the beginning of midterms, that most bitter of weeks when we hunker down and churn out page after page, pull all-nighters and give ourselves caffeine-induced heart arrhythmia, and have those long awkward silences in precept
