Yesterday was Dean's Date, which meant for students turning in a paper at the last moment. As has been the tradition, students ran past McCosh Hall, but this year not everything went according to plan.
Two students were injured and sent to McCosh Infirmary yesterday. Ben Pollak '07 tripped going up the outside stairs of Robertson Hall, and Glen Weyl '07 fell when another student bicycling by bumped into him crossing Washington Road. Neither student was severely injured.
Other students didn't make the deadline in time. Politics professor Robert George refused to accept a term paper from Melisa Gao '06, who arrived at his office at 5:15 p.m., 15 minutes passed the University deadline.
"I lost track of the time, and now I have to go see a dean," she lamented.
OIT helpdesk staffer Aaron Kleinman '06 said a record number of campus printers needed "expedited repair" yesterday. Eleven printers ran out of paper, 13 needed replacement ink cartridges, and 15 had paper jams.
"We had people running around to all of the dorms and computer clusters all day long," Kleinman said.
Lindsay McGregor '06 said she spent an hour standing on line to print at the Forbes computer cluster.
"Someone had a 25-page paper to print out, and it kept jamming," she said. "I didn't get to start printing until 3:30."
But the problems began early yesterday morning at Frist Campus Center when students looking for free food mobbed the Cafe Vivian staff as they brought out the late-night treats.
"They told me it was a mess," Frist Campus Center director Paul Breitman said. "I'm glad we got to serve free food, but we'll choose a better, larger venue next year." This is the Daily Princetonian's annual joke issue. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
