Fall in Princeton: golden leaves, a brisk breeze on Nassau, and the Princeton Community Master Plan is once again under review. But this year is different: For the first time in twenty-seven years, and after consultation with over 7,000 residents, the municipality of Princeton has completely rescripted its Master Plan to address the current needs of the town.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — After a grueling 32 minutes of water polo, another historic season for the No. 4 seeded and No. 5 ranked Princeton men’s water polo team (28–6 overall, 9–1 Northeast Water Polo Conference) came to an end in the national semifinals, when they lost 17–13 to the No. 1 seeded and No.3 ranked University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Bruins (26–2, 7–0 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation).

The winter 2023 Undergraduate Student Government (USG) elections are the most contested elections since at least 2013, and the Class of 2025 Senator race is no exception with six candidates. With the departures of Ned Dockery ’25 and Braiden Aaronson ’25 from the senate, both seats are open. This contested election stands in contrast to previous years as the senior class senator role is usually uncontested. Not including this year, this role has been contested only one time in the last decade.
Last week, a group of students and faculty released a petition calling on the University to disassociate from companies with ties to Israel’s military activity and presence in the occupied West Bank and blockade of Gaza. The petition also calls on the University to develop affiliations with Palestinian “academic and cultural” institutions, while dissociating from corresponding Israeli institutions.
The final exam schedule was a topic of debate among this year’s Undergraduate Student Government (USG) vice presidential candidates. Warren Shepherd ’27 embraced “expanding student benefits,” including a critique of the academic calendar. Flyers found around campus sponsored by Shepherd read, “December 22 is too late. Shift the academic year a week earlier.”
As students walk into their first ECO 100: Introduction to Microeconomics lecture at Princeton, they are unknowingly stepping into a classroom where economic theory trumps economic reality. The tenor of the first lecture is that markets can generally be trusted and government usually gets in the way. This perspective, emphasizing the superiority of the free market, is the inevitable result of unrealistic assumptions that are taken for granted for most of the semester: that economies generally run on perfect competition, are composed of rational actors, people have complete free choice, and prices accurately reflect value.
As part of the ongoing campus construction plans, there is a ten-year project involving the updating and replacement of dorm furniture. University spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss wrote in an email to The Daily Princetonian that, during the summer, “over 1,000 units casegood furniture sets and in-suite living room furniture” were installed in Rockefeller and Mathey colleges.
“How are people talking about USG now?” That question headlined a slide as the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) met for its final weekly meeting of the semester on Sunday, Dec. 3. This marks the last such meeting under President Stephen Daniels ’24, as the next president will have taken the office by the time meetings resume in January. In the first meeting of his presidency on Feb. 6, he said he hoped that, by the end of his term, the way students talk about USG would be “meaningfully different.”
On Saturday, Dec. 2, The Daily Princetonian staff elected Eden Teshome ’25 as the incoming Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the 148th managing board following two hours of platform deliberation in Betts Auditorium. For the first time since 2018, only one candidate ran for Editor-in-Chief.
As Furman Paladins (4–4 overall, 0–0 Southern Conference) forward Garrett Hien hit a free throw to put Princeton men’s basketball (8–0, 0–0 Ivy League) down by ten points with 4:37 left in the game, Jadwin Gymnasium fell silent. After an uncharacteristically toothless day for the Tiger offense, it seemed that the team’s undefeated start to the season may finally be derailed. Furman had outshot and outrebounded the Tigers by a wide margin, and shaky shooting from the team’s starters had prevented any sort of extended run. With no answer for Furman’s defense, Princeton seemed destined for their first loss, but their last-minute comeback victory to win 70–69 sent the crowd in Jadwin Gymnasium into a frenzy.
In a two-game weekend, the No. 12 Princeton women’s hockey team (8–4–2 overall, 4–4–2 Eastern College Athletic Conference) added three points to their conference total, with a win over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Engineers (RPI) (7–9–3, 2–8–0) and a tie against Union (4–12–2, 1–7–2).
When I heard that a “Hunger Games” prequel movie, “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” was coming out to theaters on Nov. 17, I did what anyone would do: I joined the loan queue for the book by Susanne Collins at the Princeton Public Library and bought a ticket to see it in theaters over Thanksgiving Break.
Underneath the Princeton Public Library flows a hidden brook. Before Princeton was settled and developed, Harry’s Brook comprised the entirety of Spring Street, where the public library is now situated. Today, it runs via a concrete culvert beneath the streets of town. If someone were to put their ear to the pavement of the library’s parking lot, they might hear the river burbling away beneath.
While many students returned home to spend Thanksgiving with family, those who stayed on campus over break — due to travel distance, concerns over productivity, and other reasons — celebrated with a different type of community.
