No dues, no auditions, no requirements, but lots of fun: The Princeton Juggling Club (PJC)‘s website is emblazoned with the motto: “Juggling in the Nation’s Service.”
Catalysts, the agents that speed the rate of chemical reactions, power chemistry in research and industrial applications in the modern world. A recent breakthrough has given us the chance to use materials more commonly found on earth in this critical function. The Princeton scientist behind that breakthrough, Dr. Paul Chirik, the Edwards S. Sanford Professor of Chemistry, was just named a 2022 fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) on Feb. 2.

“You have to blow the dust off your economics textbook. This is going to be a classic recession,” Tom Simons said in a recent CNBC article. Simons is a money market economist at Jeffries, a multinational investment banking company. Consumers seem to agree with his assessment.

On Wednesday night, the men’s volleyball team (3–6 overall, 0–0 EIVA) dropped a match to the California State University Northridge (CSUN) Matadors (6–5, 0–0 Big West) in a five set thriller at Dillon Gymnasium (25–27, 25–17, 25–15, 30–32, 11–15).
For myself and much of the rest of the Black diaspora, February is one of the most special months of the year because it marks the start of Black History Month. Although the Black community is often marginalized in the United States, this is the one time of year that we can count on Black success and excellence being amplified (even if it is sometimes reduced to talking about the accomplishments of a few leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Ida B. Wells, Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks). At Princeton, the same holds true. Last February, the University, and the town hosted numerous events to amplify Black voices, including an event at the public library and workshops at the School of Public and International Affairs. February is an important opportunity for everyone, Black or not, to not only learn more about Black history and how to foster an inclusive space for Black people. Although I’m highly looking forward to the programming that the University and other organizations will hold in honor of the month, this time offers the opportunity to critically reflect on how the University has failed to create a safe space for members of the Black diaspora on campus.

After contentious campus discussion leading up to the event, Palestinian writer and poet Mohammed El-Kurd addressed University community members on Feb. 8, engaging with themes of Palestinian activism. The lecture, sponsored by the Department of English, the Princeton Committee on Palestine (PCP), and the Edward Said ’57 Memorial Lecture Fund, faced criticism from some in the campus community due to allegations that El-Kurd had made antisemitic statements. The event was moderated by Zahid Chaudhary, an associate professor in the Department of English.
What do conservatives want? David Walter ’11 seeks to answer this question in his recent Princeton Alumni Weekly article. Walter notes a trend among controversial campus leaders and ill-at-ease alumni, who, despite “the successes of their movement — including, most recently, the overturn of Roe v. Wade” feel “embattled as never before.” He keenly identifies the biggest question for those of us seeking to understand conservatives: Why do they spend so much time decrying Princeton’s “dominant” political culture? Or, more simply put: Why do conservatives feel such extreme discontent?
