Concert: Princeton University Wildcats Jam: Grammy's Edition
1) Tweeting lewd photos a la Weinergate.
As usual, fall break ended too soon. It’s strange because midterms certainly felt like the end of your classes, or at least a suitable stopping point, like the end of the last non-Netflix produced season of "Arrested Development," since you knew that it couldn’t get any better from there. But sadly, the trustees of Princeton University have renewed your semester for another nine weeks, and you will have to continue in the same, tired manner of existence, until the trustees decide to cancel your fall schedule and produce a spinoff with new classes in the spring.
Dear Sexpert,
In Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons,” an American businessman and father struggles with prioritizing large-scale morality over the narrow goal of making money for his immediate family. On Princeton’s campus, Theatre Intime is currently tackling this challenging piece of theater. This production continues into next weekend (Nov. 14-16) and is under the direction of Oge Ude '16. “All My Sons” centers on Joe Keller (Jordan Adelson ’14), a businessman whose factory was responsible for shipping defective airplane parts overseas, leading to the deaths of American pilots during World War II. Throughout the play, Joe Keller and his family must grapple with questions of practicality and morality. “All My Sons”tells the story of the crumbling of the small-town American dream. And although any production of “All My Sons” includes a certain apprehensiveness, evident from the beginning, the play’s power lies in that which begins as cheerful and idyllic turned dark and sour.
Dance competition: Highsteppers “Hit ‘Em With the Beats 2013”
While most students were spending fall break catching up on much-needed sleep or indulging in TV binge-watching sessions, Caroline Reese '14, Mark Watter '14 and Alice Terret '16 put them all to shame and took a new country-folk crossover show on the road, traveling as a three-man musical group. The newly formed group kicked off its tour with a live radio show on Oct. 20 and played three venues and an additional radio show, ending in Reese's hometown Reading, Pa. The band, officially known as Caroline Reese and the Drifting Fifth, began as a solo act with Reese writing and performing her own songs. The collection that she developed, which includes two CDs (Indian River, which was released in 2010, and Slow Code from this year) serves as the core of the band’s performance, with Watter and Terret writing in their own parts. To accompany her original works, they perform covers along with the debut of an original piece by Watter, which they played live for the first time on their tour.
Dear Sexpert,
“I think any triple jumper will tell you that triple jump is a dance when you think about it,” Imani Oliver ’14 said of her experience integrating dance with athletics. “The timing has to be right; there’s no music, but there is a way that it should sound when you’re landing on the ground.”

eXpressions’ fall show, “Linked,” showcases the company’s commitment to artistic pursuits and displaying its members in the best possible light. Sure, there are pieces that sit comfortably within the company’s historical area of expertise, lyrical and jazz. But under the direction of co-artistic directors Sarah Rose ’14 and Robin Palmer ’15, the clarity of overarching themes and concepts imbue otherwise middling pieces with narrative or emotive qualities that draw the audience in.
Having survived the Great Midterm War (GMW), having battled lab reports, problem sets, essays and exams, and coming away with only minor injuries (consisting mostly of wounded pride, cramped hands and paper cuts), I was ready to return home in glorious triumph to my family. But like another heroic figure wishing to return home, my journey was arduous and left me with a tale worth retelling.
On the Princeton website, the housing department proudly announces that every room, no matter how big or how small, must be furnished with “one bed and mattress requiring extra-long sheets," for Princeton must accommodate the extra-long people, "one dresser, one desk and one chair for each person in the room.” You may note that Housing does not specify the type of chair you’re going to get. Princeton dorm furnishings are like a box of chocolates — you think you've sunk your teeth into a decadent caramel milk chocolate of a lounge chair, until you realize you're chewing on the raspberry nougat monstrosity of a quirkily-designed rocking chair.
Dear Sexpert,
After the horrifying tribulations of midterms week, Princetoween is a cathartic experience for the undergraduate community. We forget about our worries and throw on slapdash costumes to celebrate the harvest in true Princeton fashion — by drinking to excess on the Street. Unbeknownst to many Princeton students, Princetoween actually has other origins than the pressures of midterms week, origins related to the spirits that inevitably accumulate on a campus as old as Princeton’s. However, this Princetoween I’ve decided to shake things up by searching for these spirits. I invite you, dear reader, to follow along in my quest to have the ultimate scary Princetoween pregame with this helpful step-by-step walkthrough.
The intersection of Alexander Street and University Place was closed to traffic starting Wednesday to accommodate construction of a new traffic circle near the future Arts and Transit Neighborhood.
Before being sucked up by the Orange Bubble, you may have had grand plans to travel to New York or to Philadelphia while in college to enjoy what these cities have to offer. The plays, the shopping, the food, the concerts, the art: All were beckoning you. But chances are, you don’t make it off campus that often. Worry not: You can absorb art and culture right here in our backyard. The cousins of many of the masterpieces hanging at the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art actually live right next door to you in the Princeton University Art Museum.
