Dear Sexpert,
Three years ago, I sat on a bus watching cars, exit signs and trees flash by while my mind was racing. I was sure that one of my frosh had forgotten their boots. Or the tarp. Or maybe a stove. Or could one have forgotten their entire pack? The list grew longer and longer as I remembered each vital piece of gear that might have been forgotten. After I checked for the third time to make sure the med kit was at my feet, I realized that I needed to take a breath. I was one of about 200 leaders that venture into the great outdoors with incoming freshmen before school begins in September. Princeton’s Outdoor Action program is part orientation, part adventuring and part personal journey. The orientation and adventuring are perhaps the most obvious, but it is the personal journey that has been the most unexpected takeaway in my time as an OA leader. Each year, I expect to have a different group of frosh, different co-leaders and a different route, but it is only in reflection that I can really see myself changing over the course of those trips as well.
Dear Sexpert,
With a firm handshake and a welcoming smile, professor German Labrador Mendez brings comforting warmth to his classroom. A native of Vigo, Spain, Mendez earned a B.A. in Romance Philology and Hispanic Philology from the Universidad de Salamanca, as well as a Ph.D. in Spanish Literature from a joint program between Salamanca and Paris’ Sorbonne.
What are the markers of New York City modernism at the turn of the twentiethcentury? What would they look like placed on a map? Part of it could follow the A train on its route through Manhattan. Another part could stretch from Harlem in the bloom of its Renaissance down to the Greenwich Village haunts of artist John Sloan. Maybe some parts of it have yet to be imagined.
Ever wanted a glimpse into the writers’ room of a critically acclaimed television series? This spring, Professor Lawrence Konner is teaching “CWR 345: The Writer's Room: Creating a Dramatic Series for the New Television,” which will offer exactly that. Students will pretend to be members of the writing staff for a television series and produce the framework for the subsequent episodes. The class will focus heavily on the writing process in an effort to create an effective script and show that would captivate viewers. Konner hopes the students will learn crucial writing techniques from this course.
A rhesus monkey scampered toward them, but Blair Schoene and Kyle Samperton GS ’15 just shooed it away. They were too excited by a 15-centimeter-tall ash bed containing an uncommonly large amount of zircon, the mineral of interest. Just as they unpacked their pick-axes, they heard a rumbling above them.
Sometimes, freshmen seem a bit too keen to tackle coursework, social life and extracurriculars. Fresh off the high of getting into Princeton,they're plucky and still believe they know how to make this University better. Eventually, University life tempers their enthusiasm, but for that first year, we get to see all the refreshing optimism, the naïveté and the unabashed hope that fills all freshmen.
Much of the population makes New Year's resolutions at the beginning of each calendar year. However, for us Princetonians, it seems much more suitable to make resolutions after the crazy and unstructured month of January. Let’s face it — the best of habits are not likely to arise during the stressful period of exams and the blissful week of Intersession. However, it is now February, and with this new month comes a new semester. Looking to make some healthy changes before spring break hits? It’s not too late — you’ve still got about six weeks to commit to clean eating, a new workout regime or whatever it may be. Here are some tips!
Concert: Princeton University Concerts presents Stefan Jackiw and Anna Polonsky
In response to last Tuesday’s “blizzard of 2015,” otherwise known as “a huge miscalculation,” Princeton University closed for all “non-essential personnel” while employees designated “essential” remained on duty. The concept of non-essential personnel seems to make sense, as there are certain jobs that must be fulfilled even during emergencies to keep the small city that is the University in operation. However, the “non-essential” terminology raises humbling questions. Who, exactly, is essential to Princeton’s continued existence? The four qualities that follow are essentially essential to being Princeton’s chosen “essential.”

Ah, December. Inside the Orange Bubble, the semester is coming to an end, and the leaves and our GPAs drop; outside of Princeton, the world is preparing for the holiday season. In a couple of days, these hallowed halls will be cleared out, and the only sound heard on campus will be the scurrying of squirrels and the haunting echoes of that mystery pianist in Frist.
A packed Campus Club library filled predominantly with girls came to a hush as four college-aged guys followed by an older man made their way to the front of the room. The young guests, seated in a row facing the audience, were clearly surprised by the large turnout. Prompted by Cat Lambert ’15, president of Princeton Athlete Ally, the group introduced themselves. They were the Warwick Rowers, best known for their annual calendar filled with naked team photos created not only to raise money, but also to combat homophobia. A key figure in the making of the calendar was Angus Malcolm, their photographer, who has been with the Warwick crew for six years and was also present.
I love the holiday season. As soon as Dec. 1hits, I break out my festive sweaters (all two of them), blast Michael Bublé’s “Christmas” album on repeat and replace note-taking in class with intense Pinterest stalking. However, as much as I love these holiday rituals, none of them can compete with the best one of them all: food.
On Dec. 21, 1918, when Princeton hockey star and Baker Rink namesake, Hobey Baker, Class of 1914, was killed in action, he was part of a longtime warrior tradition at Princeton. The warrior ethos was integral to Princeton culture in the 19thand early 20thcenturies. According to Princeton historian and lecturer W. Barksdale Maynard ’88, Princeton students petitioned the federal government for the draft in 1917.
