During the last two weeks, students took study breaks during midterms to pet dogs, get ice cream, and drink coffee. Princeton celebrated the start of fall with Fall Fest, and the football team won the Homecoming game against Harvard.
After almost two years of infrequent trips outside our homes and social distancing, our immune systems are readjusting to pre-pandemic levels of interaction and, by default, to daily pathogen transmission. We’ve all heard of it — the Princeton plague — the scientifically unnamed upper respiratory tract viral infection that has affected a large proportion of people on campus. Symptoms include coughing, runny nose, sore throat, headaches, fatigue, and fever.
On Sept. 24, one of the tiger statues in front of Nassau Hall was adorned with a sign: “CLIMATE ACTION NOW!” Spilling down the steps and onto the lawn were groups of students, holding signs of their own: “#BREAK UP WITH EXXON.” “DELAY IS DENIAL.” “WAKE UP.” All of them had assembled to urge Princeton to follow in the footsteps of many of its fellow universities and divest from fossil fuels. From those steps, protesting students asked the University a crucial question: “Which side are you on?”
The day I went to see “The French Dispatch,” it was raining hard in Portland — more than the usual misty drizzle — but a long queue had already formed outside the theater more than 30 minutes before showtime. The date was Thursday, Oct. 21; the time — 7 p.m. PST, marking the first showing of the night at The Hollywood Theatre and one of the first public screenings of “The French Dispatch” anywhere. After several COVID-related delays, the film’s release was much anticipated by critics and cinephiles alike. Originally meant to hit theaters July 24, 2020, the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on July 12, 2021, and was officially released in the United States and the United Kingdom on Oct. 22, 2021.
The men’s water polo team traveled on Friday to Santa Clara, Calif. to compete in the Julian Fraser Memorial Tournament, hoping to regain momentum after two losses earlier in the week against No. 7 University of the Pacific and No. 2 University of California, Berkeley.
With its colorful cover art and magical orchestral interludes, Coldplay’s ninth studio album “Music of the Spheres” greatly piqued my interest when it was first announced. Between the early announcements of the explosive single “My Universe” featuring K-pop sensation BTS and the album’s use of emojis as song titles, it had been established for a while that this album would be Coldplay’s take on grandiose themes like space and humanity. Now that it’s finally arrived this month, let’s take a closer look at each track:
Amherst ends legacy admissions; Nassau Street's Starbucks shortens open hours
On Oct. 20, Amherst College announced that it will “end the legacy admissions preference” — the policy of demonstrating preference for children of alumni in the admissions process. Princeton still presently considers legacy status in its review of undergraduate applications.
Last week, the University announced a new Venture Forward program and capital campaign, which attempts to expand alumni engagement and raise funds for upcoming years. President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 said that this campaign would put “Princeton’s values into action … [looking] to the future while remaining firmly anchored in the University’s fundamental values, allowing Princeton to move from the present to the possible.” This campaign would largely support future endeavors in the Princeton University Strategic Framework, which will have initiatives in college access, financial aid, data science, climate change studies, and other areas of inquiry.
On Oct. 2, the home stands for the Princeton football game against Columbia were jam-packed with people. From an amateur’s eye, it looked like what was the most well-attended non-homecoming game football had ever hosted.
The Starbucks on Nassau Street has drastically decreased its hours due to staffing issues within the store. Its operating hours are now from 6 a.m. to noon on weekdays, and it is closed on weekends. The previous hours were as early as 5:30 a.m. and as late as 7:30 p.m.

Princeton beats Harvard in a nail-biting, quintuple-overtime Homecoming game, obituary for Peter Bunnell
Princeton beat Harvard 18–16 on Saturday in the Ivy League’s first-ever quintuple overtime game. This is the fourth year in a row that Princeton has claimed victory over Harvard, with the last loss for the Tigers coming in 2016 (23–20 OT).
Just south of Prospect Garden and just north of First College, around the art museum construction site, there’s a beautiful phenomenon of the human condition.
