The Halloween of my childhood began with the sound of rain. Soft at first, then steady, it tapped on my windowsill at night, a Morse code translating to one word: fall. In the morning, it was there in the smell of the wet sidewalks, the adventurous worms strewn across the cracks, and the damp leaves pressed into the concrete by the shoes of kids traipsing to school.

After a fervent weekend of Ivy League play, Princeton women’s volleyball solidified a second-place standing within the Ivy League Conference. On Friday evening, the Tigers fell 0–3 to the undefeated Yale Bulldogs. Last season, Princeton and Yale ended the Ivy Conference with a matching 13–1 record, only having lost to each other. The following day, on Saturday afternoon, Princeton responded by promptly defeating the Brown Bears 3–1.
One of the most surprising things I’ve found about Princeton culture is its strong dance community: newbies and veterans alike join together to grow and share their love of dance. Some of the most eye-catching flyers I’ve seen around campus have come from dance company promotions: When promotions for the Black Arts Company’s Fall Showcase “Verified” started, I was instantly taken in by the paparazzi-esque, trendsetter style that set the tone for the Fall Showcase.

Princeton women’s soccer (9–4–3 overall, 4–2–1 Ivy League) honored their seniors at the final game of the regular season against the Columbia Lions (9–3–3, 3–2–2) on Saturday. It was a must-win game for their opponents, and, with a 1–0 defeat of the Tigers, the Lions secured the final Ivy League tournament spot in Providence, R.I.. Princeton had already punched their ticket to Providence with a 2–0 win against Dartmouth on Saturday, Oct. 21.
Despite student advocacy against hiring externally, Princeton’s next Dean of the College may not be selected from Princeton’s existing faculty. Per a town hall event on Friday, Oct. 27, the open application will not give priority to Princeton employees, according to Brian Li ’24, a member of the search committee for Dean Jill Dolan's successor. Although the committee has maintained that there will be no bias towards applicants who have an affiliation with Princeton, trends for previous hiring of the Dean of the College show that those who work at Princeton have been favored in the process.
