"It's a great year to be Miss New Jersey," McCollum said.

As Reunions draws to a close, Mathey courtyard, which plays host to the 50th reunion, offers a cool respite from the hubbub at the ever-crowded 5th, 10th and 25th. Take a stroll around Jolene and you can expect to find members of the class of ’63 strolling arm in arm, catching up with classmates over drinks. What is less expected, however, is the little tent at the corner of the yard housing two tables laden with books. No, this is not a senior’s desperate last attempt to sell off his remaining textbooks, although you will find a textbook or two among the many volumes. It’s a finely curated collection of the many books written by members of the Class of 1963.

You could find her studying late at the library in 1973, alongside other graduate students who all had their own sets of keys. You could find her teaching the history of modern architecture, American art and contemporary architecture in the lecture halls in 1980, founding the New York Academy of Art alongside Andy Warhol and others in 1982 and serving on the University's Board of Trustees from 2003-07. For the past 30 years, Eileen Guggenheim GS has been plugged into the art world both at Princeton and beyond. This week, she will return to campus to participate in a Reunions panel, “Why Art Matters,” with other University faculty and alumni.

Rewind to a year ago. I sat as a young, optimistic freshman writing the triumphant conclusion of my Writing Seminar research paper. My cousin sat next to me putting the finishing touches on her thesis. The 13 pages I was so proud to accomplish in the final weeks of the spring semester were side by side with the 117 she had developed over the course of an entire year. Inside the dark, somewhat musty metal box, I was having my first true encounter with the Princeton Circle of Life. As I looked at the inspirational quotes lining the walls, the books lined up on the shelf and even the small piece of paper in the window declaring the carrel as hers, I was seeing my future. It was a taste of the experience that would be the culmination of my Princeton academic life. Not only was it a glimpse into my future, it was her present and it was the past of countless alumni. The carrel, in its unassuming location at the center of the C-floor, was home to an experience that was not bound by time. Instead it was a transcendent space, a place that held memories of struggle, despair, dedication and success. The small area was filled with these lingering emotions, heavier due to the surrounding silence, and they rested on my shoulders as I wrote. I sat there, anticipating that in three years I would reenter this place and have a space of my own to fill and add to the journeys of others encapsulated by these time capsules. To my dismay, I learned that in Princeton’s effort to move ever onward and upward, the carrels will be gone next year.

I met him at Terrace. I was looking for a boy in my math class who had texted me earlier, and instead found N. He knew the girl who had led me upstairs and stopped her to talk. After she left, he asked me just one question — whether I discriminated against smokers. I smiled at the thought of the make-out session I knew would follow my answer, and he picked up on the signal. The scene was typical. I leaned back and was just drunk enough that the change in balance kept me mentally engaged while he took over. Two girls nearby had been watching us and giggled about our cuteness. N told them they only thought it was cute because we were both boys and then asked if I wanted to go back to his room.

They hardly spoke. One boy had already wandered off alone for a few minutes; another had his face plastered to the glass casing of the Bent Spoon ice cream at Witherspoon's, and the others simply stood around, either clutching their therapists or fiddling with the communication devices strapped around their necks. These were the children of Eden Autism Services, a nonprofit organization based in Princeton, NJ that provides education, support and training for children and adults with autism. Founded by Dr. David L. Holmes and the families of autistic children in 1975, a time when autism was still a somewhat unknown and rare disorder, the well-known organization today operates out of an outreach center in Princeton Forrestal Village and is highly regarded throughout the nation for its diverse and comprehensive services and training.

I promised myself that I wouldn’t be the sort of reviewer who does nothing but shower praise. I would be stern, critical, with a healthy rationing of compliments and complaints. But then diSiac showed up and ruined everything. “Ablaze,” diSiac Dance Company’s spring show, is excellent. So excellent, in fact, that at times they made me forget that I was supposed to be reviewing their performance. I found myself being swept up in the dancing.

After wandering about for a few minutes along Witherspoon Street looking for the entrance to Infini-T, my friends and I came across a bright green sign guiding us to our destination. Upon entering the dimly lit cafe, I was alarmed to notice that I had starved myself all day in anticipation of a big meal, only to find a small selection of snack foods and an infinite number of fragrant teas. Nonetheless, we swallowed our strong desire to abandon this shop and head to Hoagie Haven and tentatively ordered some sandwiches, soup and tea.

Living in Forbes means that anywhere farther than Frist is often viewed as unreasonably far. The only compelling reason why I made the long and treacherous journey to Palmer Square was Teresa Caffe.

Although Mediterra was fairly packed for a Sunday lunch, the restaurant maintained a casually elegant ambience, an effect achieved by chic decor and beautiful wood paneling. Unfortunately, the lunch menu was rather limited — sandwiches and salads comprised most of the entree choices. I also expected more authentic Mediterranean dishes but found that the menu had more Italian and Spanish influences. Setting my confusion aside, I elected to order the Wester Ross Scottish Salmon while a friend got the Spring Rigatoni, as per the suggestion of our pleasantly attentive waiter.

Situated between Blue Point Grill and Small World Coffee, Nassau Street Seafood & Produce Company is an unassuming place to grab a bite. Simultaneously a seafood market, produce store and a place for casual seafood takeout, the store is situated to fit its many purposes. The small building features a long, narrow walkway framed by seafood on the left and various produce and pre-prepared refrigerated foods on the right as you walk up to the cash register to order your meal.

Princeton Shakespeare Company’s “The Taming of the Shrew” takes to the stage this Thursday for its second and final weekend of performances. Directed by Maeli Goren ’15, this production occupies a space somewhere between traditional reproductions of Shakespeare’s comedy and more progressive theatrical choices. Although “Taming” benefits from stellar performances from its main actors and a general high energy among the cast, the show’s more problematic issues remain unaddressed due to a lack of clear direction.
