Can I get one Locomotive for the number one university, for the 13th consecutive year, in the U.S. News and World Report’s annual Best National University Rankings?
Add-drop period ended this past Tuesday, and while some students may still drop classes before week 10, enrollment numbers are now more stable.
Since the start of the semester, rumors have swirled among students that COVID-19 cases are on the rise. However, an email from Derek Ziegler, the assistant director for emergency preparedness, noted that “case numbers have actually declined in each of the last three weeks from a peak in late August” — when the Class of 2027 first arrived on campus.
After years of advocacy, faculty and students involved with Native American and Indigenous student groups on campus say the timeline for an Indigenous Studies minor program remains uncertain.

A lone truck with a mounted screen was spotted driving around campus and downtown Princeton on Tuesday, flashing slides with images and messaging targeting the University, President Christopher Eisgruber ’83, and the Alliance for Jewish Progressives (AJP).
President Christopher Eisgruber's long-planned expansion of the student body will have a smaller effect on the Class of 2027 after enrollment numbers decreased by 8.93 percent from the Class of 2026. The drop is intended to offset larger than expected enrollment for the Class of 2026.
To the Editor:
Right after summer break, Princeton students returned to a variety of drastically different living situations. In the middle of a heat wave in the first couple weeks of the semester, some students could cool off in air-conditioned rooms while others desperately relied on (mostly self-provided) fans in their non-air-conditioned rooms. Yet the inequity between living spaces is not limited to climate control: the type of bathroom available to students also varies greatly. While some students have access to a private bathroom that they may share with their roommates or with one other single dorm room, others are relegated to communal bathrooms. Communal bathrooms can be uncomfortable for all students, yet they pose a particularly challenging situation for hijabi students on campus.
Following the departure of longtime wrestling head coach Chris Ayres, it was announced Tuesday evening that associate head coach Joe Dubuque would be taking over the vacant role.

Following back-to-back losses to No. 11 Duke (4–1–1 overall, 1–1 Atlantic Coast Conference) and No. 18 The University of New Hampshire (4–1–1, 0–0 American East), the men’s soccer team (2–2–0, 0–0 Ivy League) needed a rebound. They got it in the form of a thrilling 3–2 comeback victory over the St. John’s Red Storm (4–3–1, 0–1–0 Big East), led by sophomore forward Daniel Ittycheria’s two goals.

The Princeton women’s field hockey team (2–4 overall, 0–0 Ivy League) suffered a 3–1 loss at home against the University of Connecticut (UConn) Huskies (2–6, 0–1 Big East) on Sunday. Both the Huskies and the Tigers came into this matchup with losing records, hungry for an early season win. For the Tigers, they hoped to enter their Ivy opener this Friday with a .500 record.
Although students often discuss prioritizing mental health care at Princeton, they may not know that doing so currently is almost impossible. The gap between potential demand for counseling or therapy and the number of staff available to students is far too wide to make mental health care effective. According to the 2022 Senior Survey, “Just under 60 percent of respondents have pursued mental health counseling or therapy, while 75 percent have considered it.” In comparison, the University’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) currently has a staff of 27 social workers, psychologists, and counselors on staff. These accommodations are vastly unsuitable for the student body, which consisted of 5,540 undergraduates and 3,238 graduate students in the 2022–23 school year.
