Occupy Princeton No Longer Remains Silent
Friday, 18 November 2011
by Miriam Geronimus
Last Friday, when the Occupy the Highway march came through Princeton, freshman Whitney Blodgett yelled four simple words:“We’re the 1 percent!” It was an almost painful caricature of the apathetic and elitist Princeton student. But as if on cue, Occupy Princeton held its first General Assembly this afternoon on Frist North Lawn. It turns out,

Where do you study?
Saturday, 22 October 2011
by Miriam Geronimus
Alas, it is that time of year again — midterms. If you’re not procrastinating at one of tonight’s great performances, you’re probably studying. And for that, Princeton has no shortage of spaces — libraries, residential college libraries, lounges… you name it. When I get stuck studying all day, I like to change it up a

The Lowdown on Lock-Outs: Part 1
Friday, 14 October 2011
by Vivienne Chen
It finally happened today — after almost half a semester of success with the old “trash-can-in-the-door” technique, I finally got locked out of my room. Considering my lock-out rate last year (thank you roommates), it’s pretty impressive I’ve made it this far. Drawing from my vast experience, I find the Top 3 most common lock-out

How much energy do you use?
Saturday, 08 October 2011
by Miriam Geronimus
If you have wandered through the basement hallways of Bogle Hall in the past week, you might have noticed a new display screen. This screen may not be able to tell you how much energy you use individually, but it can tell you how much energy Butler College is using. And some funny patterns show

CSI: Princeton
Wednesday, 05 October 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
Remember when you visited Yale? The Gothic architecture (not as nice as here, of course) made you wonder if you hadn’t received your Hogwarts owl after all, just a few years late. Except then you peeked beyond the iron gates, remembered you were in America’s fourth most dangerous city, and chose our quiet suburban idyll

Cannon to Join Most Selective Clubs – If It Ever Opens
Wednesday, 14 September 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
All of the eating clubs will be up and running for Lawnparties this weekend – all except Cannon Dial Elm Club, whose long-awaited return has been getting just a little longer since its first planned reopening in the spring of 2008. But, slowly yet surely, Cannon is prepping for its revival (and praying it will

Admin Bans Freshman Greek Life
Thursday, 25 August 2011
by Giri Nathan
More than a year after President Tilghman intimated the possibility of an full-on Greek ban, a few months after the residential and social life working group released their much-discussed report, and with the images of vigorous student/administration debate fresh in our collective memories, the U. has finally announced a policy change. It’s a two-pronged ban:

Requisite Photo of Reunions Excess
Monday, 30 May 2011
by Giri Nathan
Last year, we tried to capture the aftermath of the P-rade in all its trashy resplendence, the empty husks of 30-racks, the crushed cans of Bud Light shining like so many diamonds. This year’s photographic evidence of Reunions excess comes from Whitman Library. We’ve already introduced you to the squalor of the thesis hermit, but

The Best Public Safety Alert Ever
Wednesday, 18 May 2011
by Angela Wu
After three years at Princeton, I’ve come to associate Campus Safety Alerts with two things: toy guns (Three, yes, three times) and campus creepers. I’ve never really been happy to see Donald P. Reichling’s name pop up in my inbox, you know? Which I know might seem too much to ask from Public Safety, but
