Go Away Prefrosh
Tuesday, 14 April 2009
by Brian No
You know it’s that time of year when the University erects a ridiculous circus tent on Alexander Beach, ruining pretty springtime vistas and impeding your drunken walk home from the Street. That’s right: hundreds of earnest and overeager 18 year-olds are about swarm all over campus and there’s nothing you can do about it. The

The New Frontier of Narcissism
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

Monday, 30 March 2009
by Brian No
Princeton professor and Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman appears on this week’s cover of Newsweek, complete with an adorable (or “whimsical,” as one Press Clubber puts it) picture and a profile penned by visiting journalism professor Evan Thomas.

Wednesday, 18 March 2009
by Samantha Pergadia
A new study devised by Talya Miron-Shatz, a Ph.D associate researcher in the Wilson School, found that financial security affects happiness more than actual money for the modern American woman. “Even if you are making a hundred grand a year, if you are constantly worried that you are going to get fired, that you are

by Samantha Pergadia
Professor Paul Muldoon, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, will rediscover his Northern Ireland roots as he spends St. Patrick’s Day with President Obama and 400 other Irish guests for celebrations at the White House.

Princeton University president Shirley Tilghman appeared on the Charlie Rose show last night. Shirley discussed the Bush administration’s political repression of science, bragged about Alex Barnard and his “mohawk up to here” and used the word “periodicity” when discussing how often the University rejects the idea of a Princeton Medical School (every 20 years or

by Samantha Pergadia
Midway though my ENG205 lecture yesterday, Professor Arnold gave one student (among the dozens or so using laptops) a stern look and said, “Can you please close your computer for me?” Perplexed, the student complied as the other laptop users tried to figure out if Arnold had x-ray vision that could detect an open Facebook
