I know nothing about Cloister’s financial situation, but I have absolute confidence in the club’s future. One might argue that I’m an example of the maxim “ignorance is bliss.” I accept this accusation cheerfully. Before I begin, I should pause to clarify that I don’t write as a representative of Cloister, just as a member. My reason for writing is simple; I believe that the pervading belief in Cloister’s decline is completely overblown. In fact, I have more faith in Cloister’s future than I do in the future of any other community on campus. I am certainly biased, but what I love about Cloister — its dynamic personality and constant conversation — is what I believe will allow it to thrive. I’ve spent the good part of three years (a double entendre) as a member of Cloister, and not once have I questioned the club’s vitality.

Responding to recent town contention around traffic and parking, Princeton’s town council passed an ordinance eliminating free, temporary parking on a section of Witherspoon Street at a Dec. 11 meeting. Council members and community members also discussed the Franklin Maple project, a proposed affordable housing development that would bring the town closer to compliance with its 2020 mandate to build 753 affordable housing units by 2025.

More than 130 members of the American Whig-Cliosophic Society (Whig-Clio) voted for officers last Friday, a major increase from previous years as the club, once the University’s largest, continues to rebuild from the pandemic. In December 2022, only 58 people voted. The previous year, fewer than 25 people cast ballots.

As reading period drew closer, I found myself spending more and more time at Frist Campus Center, doing homework and catching the two late meals to keep me going. One day, in front of my usual study spot, I was captivated by diSiac’s promotional flyers for their winter show: "International Heat of Princeton" — IHOP, if you will. The playful and creative concept instantly drew me in. As I bought myself a ticket for their Saturday show, I wondered what sweet and savory performances awaited me.

Senior guard Kaitlyn Chen just could not stop scoring against Villanova (6–4 overall, 0–0 Big East), ending the Dec. 11 away game with a career-high 31 points and rallying the Tigers (8–3 overall, 0–0 Ivy League) to victory. Princeton battled back and forth against the Wildcats to grab the win in a chaotic last minute of play.

After dramatic hearings in the U.S. House of Representatives about antisemitic speech on college campuses which have led one university president to resign, University President Christopher Eisgruber released a statement. In the statement, Eisgruber condemned antisemitic speech on campus, highlighted Princeton’s robust free speech protections, and stressed the responsibility of the institution to push back on hateful speech.

(12/12/23 4:26am)
With their undefeated start to the season on the line, the Princeton men’s basketball team (9–1 overall, 0–0 Ivy League) traveled to Philadelphia to take on the St. Joseph’s Hawks (8–2, 0–0 Atlantic 10). Off to their best start to a season since the 1919-20 season, the Tigers looked to cement their place in school history as a win would give the program their first-ever 10–0 start. Coming off a dominant 81–70 win over Drexel (5–5, 0–0 Colonial Athletic Association), the Tigers fell to the Hawks in a back-and-forth loss.

COVID-era lawsuit against masking policy dismissed: Your Daily 'Prince' Briefing
(12/11/23 5:02am)
The U.S. District Court of New Jersey again ruled against former University budget analyst Kate McKinley, who alleged in a lawsuit that she was harassed and fired due to her request for religious exemptions to the University’s COVID-19 mask and contact tracing requirements. McKinley’s case was dismissed once before in April 2023. The second ruling will not allow for amendments, likely marking the end of McKinley’s legal battle.

Nearly a year ago, as I scrolled mindlessly through the Google search results prompted by “Princeton,” I stumbled upon none other than The Daily Princetonian’s website. Seeking information for my “Why Princeton” essay, I decided to read through recently published opinion and news articles. To my dismay, I found article after article slamming Princeton for its investments, lack of mental health support, construction, and other institutional problems. After about an hour of reading, I wasn’t even sure if I should still apply.

A mile north of campus lies 400 acres of forests and streams, stretches of public land filled with hickories, flowering dogwood, and boulders. 75 of these acres constitute the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Preserve, which is only partially a misnomer: the relativity flat woodlands encircle a lake banked by beaver dams and blueberry bushes.

Many Princetonians understand photosynthesis and can calculate the pH of soil, but few have knowledge of what occurs before food reaches their fork. With a 3.5-acre seed farm just a short drive from campus, more and more students are learning about the science behind native crops, as well as the cultural significance of the University land to the Lenni-Lenape peoples.
