Musical: ‘The Drowsy Chaperone”
Dear Sexpert,
Though the Princeton experience guarantees an education with a superior focus on the undergraduate and countless opportunities to work with, speak to and learn from professors, one can’t deny this experience is vastly different from department to department. Although the economics department boasts a faculty of 61 members, far more than the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures’ faculty of 17, there are presently 257 students concentrating in economics, compared to just nine students in Slavic languages and literatures. Departments with more faculty than students can be considered to be struggling, but some students in these departments would say this ratio is a major benefit to their academic pursuits. This week, Street takes a look at some of the smallest undergraduate majors on campus to get a glimpse into these academic communities at Princeton.
I looked up through the glass dividing my workbench from the guy across from me. We exchanged a glance and shook our heads, silently acknowledging the desperation, woe and mild consternation that permeated Orgo lab. Everyone in the room was busily mixing, inverting flasks, separating fluids and heating and cooling substances.
BAC:Dance delivers exactly what it promises to with “House Party” — an unadulterated good time. The show opens with a confident and rousing medley, whose lighting, chants and crowd interaction build anticipation for what is to come. Afterward, a playful Hangover-esque filler introduces the rest of the show as a fuzzy flashback into what happened the night before. The following pieces are packed full of the dancing and humor that have become characteristic of BAC performances. Their choreography is, as always, precise and fierce; their music, clothing and general production quality together speak to a deeply professional passion balanced by casual swagger.
In a corner of campus where gothic, colonial and modern architecture collide, a throwback to the Parthenon stands in a monumental, classical plaza. Though the majority of Princeton buildings conform to an overarching style of grand avenues and courtyards, Robertson Hall, home of the Wilson School, wasn’t designed to blend in. It was built to announce the University’s commitment to democracy and public service. While Robertson Hall’s self-importance clashes significantly with the complementary situation of the majority of campus buildings, in many ways it successfully fulfills its mission as a temple of democracy.

Traditionally, the Twelfth Night of Christmas is a time for celebration and festivities. William Shakespeare wrote “Twelfth Night” solely as a comedy — unlike Shakespeare’s more serious plays, “Twelfth Night” simply wants its audience to have a good time. As director Malena de la Fuente ’16 noted, “the real value of ‘Twelfth Night’ is in its entertaining nature.” For their spring production, Princeton Shakespeare Company accomplishes this by putting on a thoroughly enjoyable show filled with practical jokes and merriment.

Dear Sexpert,
For this two-part series, Street spoke to five first-generation college students about their experiences at the University. In addition to being first-generation, some of the students are also first-generation Americans; others are not. One is not American at all. They hail from places as close as Brooklyn, N.Y., and as far as Espartinas, Spain. Their majors range from psychology to operations research and financial engineering; their dream careers involve everything from education reform to going to space.

Is that a Nyan Cat on the window? Wait, just kidding, it’s a Pokemon now. What’s that Titan doing there? Above all, what does it all mean? While Street can’t help you on the interpretation front (that is a personal decision only you can make), we can shed some light on the masterminds behind the famed display. Streetinterviewed Jan Cash ’14, Asumi Shibata ’14, Molly Carton ’14 and Vincent Castaneda ’14, four of the residents of 011 and 012 Spelman Halls, about their life in Spelman, their friendship and of course, their eye-catching window display.
