by Lauren Zumbach
As early as the summer of 2012, Princeton will be looking a little greener. The University plans to install a solar collector field that would generate 8 million kilowatt-hours per year – that’s enough to power 700 homes, or 5.5 percent of Princeton’s total energy use. The 5.3-megawatt solar field will have 16,500 photovoltaic panels,

Timothy Ferriss ’00 Releases How-To-Be-Godlike Self-Help Book
Sunday, 23 January 2011
by Giri Nathan
Timothy Ferriss ’00 has written a book that will transform you into a hypermuscled, knife-sharp sex god. That is, if you trust his methods. Ferriss plies a special brand of hand-waving alternative-medicine voodoo magic, prescribing dubious fixes like ginger and sauerkraut (if you want to put on muscle) or protein and lemon juice (if you

by Vivienne Chen
Recently, bloggers have gotten ahold of President John F. Kennedy’s old college application essays, and boy, were standards different back then. EDIT: JFK’s Harvard essay reads like this: (Source) “The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I felt that Harvard can give me a better background and a better

IN PRINT: Brainstorming to Reduce School Spending
Friday, 21 January 2011
by Lauren Wyman
It’s pretty cool that Princeton is a historical town—I mean, just think about it. Princeton townspeople of the 1700s in pilgrim hats and buckle shoes would gather and chat about what’s up with George Washington. Fast forward two-and-a-half centuries and the Princeton Board of Education called such a town meeting (no pilgrim hats required, though) on

Wednesday, 19 January 2011
by Abby Greene
We’ve all been there – being kinder to our environment looks great on paper, but sometimes it just seems out of reach. It’s all too easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget all about how much our planet needs our help. That’s why Sustainable Princeton has jumpstarted a Curbside Composting Pilot

From Princeton to Paste Magazine: Anthony D’Amato ’10
Saturday, 15 January 2011
by Julia Bumke
As finals weekend rears its ugly head, and we all devolve into a steady eat-study-crash schedule with a shower (rarely) thrown in for good measure, it’s hard to imagine doing anything remotely non-academic around here apart from the occasional party. Like, I dunno, recording a surprise-hit indie album in your dorm room. Just to give
