Today’s Briefing:
Last weekend, the Street finally opened to all undergraduate students after more than 18 months of remaining shuttered due to COVID-19 restrictions. After remaining “members-only” for the first three weeks of the semester, the 11 eating clubs opened on Sept. 16 with a bang, as many students partook in massive in-person festivities that often led to long lines and overcrowding. The clubs delayed their openings until Sept. 16 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related concerns and adjustments related to planning in-person activities.
Five of the six selective clubs, Cannon Dial Elm Club, Cap & Gown Club, Ivy Club, Tiger Inn, and Tower Club, administered Fall Bicker, while Cottage Club did not. Over 180 upperclassmen participated in Street Week. During the street’s reopening weekend, the Colonial Club’s “Spotlight” party on Friday night amassed considerable crowds of students and was staged inside the club, where few to no students wore masks, according to sources interviewed by the ‘Prince.’

After two years, the University’s CarShare services have made a comeback. An email sent to the undergraduate student body on Sept. 17, 2021, announced the resumption of the services, along with comprehensive information about the 14-vehicle Enterprise CarShare fleet situated at various locations around campus. According to the Enterprise CarShare website, University students are able to rent vehicles at $5/hour, or $40/day, with associated fuel, parking, and insurance costs included.
“I think that seniors living off-campus or those in eating clubs or on independent meal plans will find it super useful to be able to rent a car just to run to get groceries or supplies for their clubs,” said Hector Betanzos ’22, who found CarShare services immensely useful during his freshman and sophomore years.
