FuLu Your Frenemies!
Saturday, 21 April 2012
by Louise Connelly
Add to the list of Princeton undergraduate start-ups: FuLumail.com, an anonymous email server launched this year by sophomores Ash Egan and Jason Adleberg and junior Bobby Grogan. After a brief hiatus during which the site was closed for reconstruction, FuLumail is once again up and running, allowing users to continue their slew of anonymous communication

Preppy Princeton?
Sunday, 15 April 2012
by Dana Bernstein
Spotted Friday afternoon: Princeton male students sporting blazers and khaki shorts while their female counterparts were clad in preppy sundresses. They were playing croquet near Dillon gym on the lawn outside some dorm rooms. And blasting classical music. While drinking. Another one of your What in the world?! musings of the day. It’s not Lawnparties

Mysterious rubber ducks, revisited
Thursday, 12 April 2012
by Shirley Gao
One week later, and still no answers. The rubber duck art installation entered a new phase of development today, when ‘duck depositors’ convened in Frist MPR B at 5:30 pm as per instructions. And what did they see? Initially, a dark room, with glow sticks covered by a mass of yellow and orange plastic. The

The Prefrosh Are Coming! The Prefrosh Are Coming!
Sunday, 08 April 2012
by Dana Bernstein
Last week, we showed you pictures of admissions officers doling out the fate of thousands of high schoolers. But the admissions officers can’t rest just yet. Now, they’re busy getting ready for the arrival of the new Princeton young’uns at Preview in two weeks. Friday afternoon, they were spotted filming students in Forbes for their

Wanted: Rubber Ducks
Wednesday, 04 April 2012
by Shirley Gao
File this under your ‘What in the world?!’ musings of the day: A curious installation piece has popped up on campus, just north of Frist. It looks like the kind of donation boxes set at the front of restaurants or stores, but instead of asking for ‘dolla dolla bills, ya’ll,’ the box was lined with…rubber

Woody Woo Pool Party
Wednesday, 04 April 2012
by Shirley Gao
Today marked the annual Woody Woo Senior Post-Thesis Pow-Wow. At 4:30 pm, our favorite policy wonks jumped, slid, even tentatively tip-toed into the cold waters of the Fountain of Freedom (so aptly named, right?) After giving them massive bear hugs, we pulled aside a few giddy seniors for comment. Complete the sentence: Jumping into the fountain

Watch These People Dole Out the Fates of Thousands of High Schoolers
Thursday, 29 March 2012
by Giri Nathan
Maybe you’ve already heard about the record-low 7.86% admit rate out of 26,664 applications, but in this digital age you’ve probably forgotten that all 26,664 of those strivers still need to be notified by mail, by physical things made of out paper. Which makes for a lot of paper. Check out admissions folk loading all those

Oz Comes to Princeton
Sunday, 11 March 2012
by Dana Bernstein
Princeton was transformed into the land of Oz Thursday evening—not the wizard, the doctor. A highly-anticipated event, Dr. Oz’ lecture on mental health was both informative and entertaining, including an interactive demonstration on proper breathing techniques and a comical display by Oz of the beer belly. Below are some gems of the night: You’re worth
Beautiful Day in the Bubble

by Abby Klionsky
Disclaimer: this post is intended for people who didn’t make it outside today (read: people who still have gastro, and seniors with looming thesis-draft deadlines). If you did go outside today–and enjoyed it–make sure you go outside tomorrow, too, because it’s supposed to be even nicer. We didn’t have much of a winter to complain

Brooks Brothers Hits Nassau
Wednesday, 07 March 2012
by Lauren Zumbach
Apparently the U Store’s selection of Princeton-themed Brooks Brothers sweaters and ties wasn’t enough to fill our insatiable, stereotype-fulfilling demand for all things preppy. Coming soon to Palmer Square: an entire Brooks Brothers store, scheduled to open September 1st – just in time for Lawnparties. (Coincidence? I think not.) Of course, given Princeton’s sartorial reputation,

Occupy Forbes Dining Hall: PRINCO stops investment in HEI
Sunday, 04 March 2012
by Ellis Liang
With no more Goldman Sachs info sessions left to mic check, Occupy Princeton has turned to occupying dining halls. Last Thursday, members of Occupy Princeton sat in on a talk held in the Forbes dining room by Andrew Golden, who has been president of the Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO) for 17 years. Golden, who
