News & Notes Over half of Jewish students have experienced anti-Semitism in first half of 201314, study says

Approximately 54 percent of Jewish students had anti-Semitic experiences on campus in the first half of the 2013-14 academic year, according to a study conducted by researchers at Trinity College that was released this week. The online survey consisted of questions regarding the situation and location of each anti-Semitic experience. It was filled out by 1,157 Jewish students across 55 college campuses throughout the nation. 58 percent of religious Jewish students reported that others had demonstrated hostility toward Jewish people, as well as the Jewish faith. Barry A. Kosmin, director of the Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society and Culture and Research at Trinity College, and Ariela Keysar, the associate director of the institute, emphasized that the problem of anti-Semitism was not an isolated problem, but rather one that is pervasive throughout the nation. Keysar said she hopes that this survey will raise awareness of the hostilities that Jewish students face and that anti-Jewish bias does not only hurt highly religious Jews.

Study finds gap in Ph.D. hires between elite, nonelite universities

THIS IS PRINCETON

By Zaynab Zaman staff writer

Ph.D. students at elite schools like the University have a systematic advantage in being hired on the academic job market, according to a recent study. Elite schools have shown a trend of hiring Ph.D. job candidates from a small pool of other elite schools, coauthor Aaron Clauset, an assistant professor of computer science at the University of Colorado at Boulder, said. He conducted the study, “Systematic Inequality and Hierarchy in Faculty Hiring Networks,” with coauthors Samuel Arbesman and Daniel Larremore, who did not respond to a request for comment. The study looked at hiring trends among Ph.D. candidate job applicants and found that only 9 to 14 percent of job applicants are able to get jobs at universities ranked higher than those at which they completed their education. The vast majority of applicants become faculty members at lower-ranked universities than universities where they got their Ph.D., Clauset explained. “One of the real benefits of our study is that we looked at multiple disciplines and very different scholastic traditions, and we found essentially the same results across the disciplines,” he said. “People move down the hierarchy in a overwhelming majority.” See PLACEMENT page 2

U. may start anonymous reporting system for students By Zaynab Zaman staff writer

The University may soon have a system for students to anonymously report discriminatory or offensive comments made by professors and preceptors, Asanni York ’17, co-chair of the Council of the Princeton University Community’s Working Group on Structure and Support, said. Though there are already processes in place to report discrimination, many students don’t know about them, York said. The format of such reporting requires the student to convince administrators that the professor made offensive or prejudiced statements, he added, saying that when students are reporting to people of power, failing to say the right thing at the right time may result in their complaint being overlooked. There is currently no new

system for reporting complaints, but a new website was recently created for members of the University community to submit diversity-related comments, University spokesperson Martin Mbugua said. York said that in the very early stages of the task force, the members sent out a large survey asking questions about changes wanted by the student body. One of the questions asked if the students saw a need for reporting people for discrimination and asked students to provide examples that would help the task force. “There were hundreds of examples,” York said. In one instance, a preceptor had asked his classmates to share their names, class years, majors and their relationships to slavery. There was only one African-American student in the class, and the student’s ancestors were slaves. Making a student publicly discuss that

relationship was insensitive, York said. Although graduate and undergraduate students alike have experienced or observed classroom discrimination, the process for complaining is so unclear, arduous and timeconsuming as to repel most students, Ricardo Hurtado GS, co-chair of the CPUC’s task force on academics and awareness, said. He added that the weak accountability system in place for faculty suggests that even if an anonymous reporting system is created, it is questionable whether tangible results will come out of it. While professors have been removed from courses after enough student complaint, it is difficult to effect change since faculty members have so much autonomy in and out of the classroom, Hurtado said. An offensive statement made by a tenured professor

regarding the die-in protests following the death of Eric Garner is another example of the need for a more streamlined reporting system, York said. “[The professor] said, ‘Oh, the black students are doing another protest. I hope they don’t go loop Frist [Campus Center] after this,’ ” York said. If the anonymous reporting system is successfully implemented, a key aspect of the system should be giving students access to the data, Hurtado said, adding that students would gain power because problems would be known to everyone rather than just the administration. Making the data public would also be useful to all parties, he said. The goal of the protests recently, York said, was to demand conversation among the student body regarding the reSee REPORTING page 3

Ivy Club elected its second female president, Eliza Mott ’16, last week.

mittee on Undergraduate Women’s Leadership released its final report in 2011, only one woman in the Class of 2011 was president of an eating club. The report found that women tended to gravitate to behind-the-scenes positions in extracurricular activities and noted a decrease in female students holding leadership positions since the beginning of the 2000s. Grace Larsen ’16, the first woman ever elected president of Tiger Inn, said she wants to improve the club’s image when she takes over the position in September by developing an open line of communication between club leadership and the membership. “We cannot simply present a good face and hope that the club will eventually mirror that image,” she said. “It is also imperative that membership work both with [the officer corps] and with one another.” The election results at TI should help to set an example of gender parity in the leadership of prominent See CLUBS page 5

The Undergraduate Student Government senate discussed plans for TruckFest, approved new committee members and reviewed the progress of committee projects at its meeting on Sunday. In light of Mental Health Week, the senate meeting opened by introducing the photographer Robert Fogarty, who will be running the “Dear World” photography project on campus throughout the week. “Dear World,” which first started in New Orleans, La., is a photography project which asks participants to share a message about themselves. In addition, the senate approved the appointment of new Honor Committee member Hassan Ejaz Chaudhry ’18. Chair of the Honor Committee Jesse Fleck ’15 explained that this mid-semester appointment was necessary to replace Class of 2017 president C.J. Harris. “We believe he’s very insightful. He showed a high understanding of integrity and of the Honor Code itself,” Fleck said of Chaudhry. A freshman was selected by the senior members of the Honor Committee because they

wanted someone who “could be trained and jump into the system mid-semester and not focus on what year they were,” Fleck said. The senate approved the Projects Board’s request for funding for TruckFest. Projects Board co-chairs and event organizers Tyler Lawrence ’16 and Naman Jain ’17 presented their plans for TruckFest, which is scheduled to take place on April 25. The event will be larger in scale than last year’s, with 25 food trucks on Prospect Avenue compared to last year’s 11, Lawrence and Jain said. The organizers said they hope to raise $50,000 for charity. TruckFest will hopefully be more streamlined than last year by providing every student with a certain number of tickets and reducing wait times by offering only a limited menu at each truck, they added. Elections manager Grant Golub ’17 discussed his plans about future USG elections. Golub is a staff writer for the ‘Prince.’ “The first thing is that I would like to have meetings — I call it the speaker series — where we can talk about what USG is doing, how people can See USG page 3

Only 9 to 14 percent of applicants get jobs at higher-ranked universities PLACEMENT Continued from page 1

The research focus should perhaps be on the small percentage of applicants who are able to move to a higher-

ranked university from their Ph.D. program, rather than on the vast majority of applicants who move down the hierarchy, Clauset added. “If we could identify what they’re doing, then perhaps we could shift the rest of

system to focus on finding people like that,” he said. John Borneman, director of graduate studies in the Department of Anthropology at the University, explained that admissions for Ph.D. candidates are extremely competitive. Approximately three to 10 applicants are accepted out of a pool of more than 170 candidates, he said. “We can’t do any remedial work if people come here unprepared for the advanced work,” he said. “People have to enter at a very high level.” He said that, although there is a trend in some departments of hiring from mainly top-tier institutions, the elite programs are not necessarily the best at preparing students for graduate level work in many fields. “Some of us are skeptical

of the elite programs,” he said. “At Harvard, most of the teaching is done by graduate students, which does not necessarily prepare them for grad school. Many small liberal arts colleges prepare people excellently.” The study focused on describing the current state of affairs and was not intended to suggest policy recommendations or identify and change the impact this imbalance has on society, Clauset said. Rather, the data provokes two questions in particular for people who do not like the current system’s preference for prestigious degrees. The first question asks if there are changes that could be made in the system that would be more beneficial than harmful, either from the perspective of Ph.D. job

applicants or people involved in general scholarship production as a whole, he said, while the second asks how many meritorious careers are being derailed by the current workings of the system, which is not something the data from the study can answer. In addition to looking at general Ph.D. job hiring trends among hundreds of institutions, the study explored gender discrepancies within placement success rates, Clauset explained. “We don’t try to venture into the cause and effect realm; we don’t try to explain why this is happening, but the fact that women slide further down the hierarchy than men I think is clearly an indication that the system is not working as a whole,” he said.

He added that there are a multitude of reasons why women could be sliding further down, a topic which would be very much worth investigating through further studies. Clauset added that most Ph.D. job applicants understand that the market is very difficult and a strenuous career choice. “I hope that this study, for people who are thinking about careers as researchers or scientists, would just give them more information in order to make a more informed decision,” he said. Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of the Graduate School Cole Crittenden GS ’05, Dean of the Graduate School Sanjeev Kulkarni and Dean of the Faculty Deborah Prentice declined to comment.

get involved,” Golub explained. “I think that the student body should be inundated with that more. That way students feel that it’s more accessible and feel that they can get more involved.” However, University Student Life Committee chair Kathy Chow ’17 said students are not always receptive to speakers. “To be honest, I’m not sure how well the speaker series will go, because we’ve had some amazing people speak at Princeton, and nobody even notices it,” she said. “I think maybe a better way to do this might be just to make videos of USG members talking about why it’s important to vote.”

There is a possibility of underrepresentation in senate based on race, gender or even athlete and engineering status that should potentially be addressed in outreach, Ucouncilor Naimah Hakim ’16 said. “I wonder if that might be part of the conversation, who thinks of themselves as potentially being part of USG,” Hakim said. The communications committee has also been working on the design for a new USG website. Having more frequent visual updates in the form of a blog or videos on the website would be helpful for students, U-councilor Mallory Banks ’16 said.

cent events. “We did everything on Princeton’s campus because Princeton is a campus of silence. As Cornel West said, ‘Princeton is notorious for graduating cowards,’ ” York said. “Princeton has a whole bunch of people who would rather sit around and act like they care or who don’t care at all. We wanted to block Frist off because people don’t want to talk about these issues. We’re going to make you talk.” While many alumni have been vocal about their disapproval of the recent events on campus, some members of the administration and Board of Trustees have expressed their support, he said. The task force is also hoping to require cultural competency training for every person employed by the University, York said. Additional initiatives within the task force include potentially adding a distribution requirement to increase a focus on cultural identity, perhaps increasing disability,

racial or gender awareness, York said.

campus institutions going forward, Larsen said. “I plan to set a precedent that your gender or dominance in TI does not make your opinion more valuable,” she said. While the conception of TI as a male-dominant organization has long been a staple on the Street, Larsen said, women who stand up for their beliefs in clubs are due recognition. “[Women’s] voices will not be drowned out,” she said. “Furthermore, I don’t believe that the male membership wishes this to be the case.” Larsen said that the membership was supportive of

members who chose to run for office throughout the election process, and added that she did not feel pressure or opposition from her peers because of her gender. She said she ran against a number of other female and male candidates for the presidency, and saw a high turnout for other races. “I think this shows how the incidents last fall motivated the membership to want to make changes in TI,” she said, referring to the removal of two TI officers from their positions in the fall after one distributed a sexual photograph taken at the club to TI members via email, and the other sent an email appearing to mock activist Sally Frank ’80. TI is already changing

by holding club-wide dialogues, she said. “[TI has been] even more vigilant in making sure that guests and members are having a good time, but in a safe and healthy way,” she said. Swetha Doppalapudi ’16, president of Colonial Club, said she has been working on providing a friendly environment across the 11 eating clubs by helping to create a dialogue about sexual harassment and violence with the help of Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources & Education and promoting interclub activities. Eliza Mott ’16, who will become Iv y Club’s secondever female president in the fall, and Lucia Perasso ’16, president of Terrace Club,

declined to comment. Frank, who successfully sued Iv y and TI in the 1980s to admit female members, said she congratulated the women who were elected this spring, but noted that having women at the head of a club cannot effect great change without the support of the rest of the leadership. Though much has changed since her undergraduate years, Frank said that the need to end sexism on campus hasn’t ended. With the results of TI’s election, all of the eating clubs except for Cannon Club and Cottage Club have seen a female president since 2002, although Cannon has only elected its third president since reopening.

Snark’s inefficacy Will Rivitz

contributing columnist

s I write this, The Daily Princetonian’s editors are concluding the process of selecting new writers to join the ranks of the Opinion section. I’m incredibly excited about the talent these writers will bring to the newspaper, as the material I’ve read from them is phenomenal. Yet, at the same time, I have a pretty good idea of what will happen over the course of the next couple months.

The writers will experience surges of backlash from the wider Princeton community in the form of twelve-word responses from students who choose only to identify themselves by their class year, if not names like “Your arguments suck” and “You just don’t get it”. Those who are freshman will be yelled at by commenters who accuse them of covering issues they don’t understand at all, even in columns to which their freshman-hood has little to no relevance. Those who attempt to foster discussion in the comments section will receive a snide response along the lines of “dude come on don’t comment on your own article”. Soon enough, the freshman columnists will stop caring what the rest of campus has to say about their columns, because the occasional well-argued takedown of the logic behind a piece will inevitably be buried under mountains of snark. I don’t say this to give the impression that ‘Prince’ writers don’t pay attention to negative feedback. As self-applauding as it sounds, we really do care about what we write. At the end of the day, we will put in a considerable amount of preparation bouncing ideas off of friends and editors in an attempt to present a nuanced and well-reasoned opinion that will stand up to criticism. Rather, I paint this picture to illustrate what the near future will look like, one very similar to the situation which Christian Wawrzonek describes in his recent column “On Hating The Daily Princetonian.” Like Wawrzonek, I don’t fully agree with many decisions the paper makes, although I do think that many of the problems concerning the ‘Prince’ stem from systemic issues within news publications as a whole rather than ‘Prince’-specific ones (potentially harmful models like poorly fact-checked iterative journalism are unfortunately the standard at this point). However, like him, I also think that “hurtful, malicious or disrespectful criticisms will only turn away the very people who want to improve our paper and nothing will ever change.” There are many ways to disagree with something a writer has to say, and snark is one of the least constructive ways to do so. New York Observer editor-at-large Ryan Holiday, in his book Trust Me, I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator, defines the term as such: “You know you’re dealing with snark when you attempt to respond to a comment and realize that there is nothing you can say.” The comment’s lack of detail or specificity (for example, saying something like “this is one lameass article”) means that it exists only as an affirmation, something for anonymous users to upvote. English essayist William Hazlitt wrote, in his 1826 work “On The Pleasure Of Hating,” that this sort of snappy rhetoric (or the 19th-century equivalent) is popular because “we grow tired of every thing but turning others into ridicule, and congratulating ourselves on their defects.” Pointed, substanceless remarks dominate the comments section because it is far easier to write a quick, meaningless takedown than a carefully constructed one. They also do so because it is far easier to skip straight to the comments section and upvote that short comment because it fits in with a particular campus narrative than it is to read an article and come to one’s own conclusions about it. The takeaway here is this: if you truly believe that we as ‘Prince’ writers don’t have a clue about the topics we write about, there are countless constructive ways to let the campus know. If you disagree with a freshman’s perspective on careers in finance, write a guest column in response, as Yesenia Arroyo ‘15 did recently. If you think that the premise of a theater review in the Street section is deeply f lawed, don’t perpetuate the “condescen[sion]” in the comments section. The opportunities are practically limitless, and high-quality responses matter. Despite the pervasive attitude on campus, the writers of this newspaper are dedicated to producing quality content if the material we publish isn’t up to snuff. If you think that this attitude isn’t good enough, help change it by putting in more effort than is required for a snarky, ultimately meaningless retort. As ‘Prince’ columnist Bennett McIntosh puts it, “The entire staff of the paper turns over every four years — if you want to improve the Prince, there is literally nothing standing in your way.” Will Rivitz is a freshman from Brookline, Mass.

EDITORIAL

Reject divestment

ecently, a group of students began a campaign known as the Princeton Sustainable Investment Initiative (PSII), seeking to implement a series of proposals concerning the University’s management of its endowment and environmental impact. Specifically, PSII calls on the University to report on the environmental impact of its investments and ultimately to cease investing in companies that are deemed insufficiently environmentally friendly. Members of the PSII have arranged to meet with the University Resources Committee on March 3. The Board urges the University to reject this effort to politicize the endowment and unduly tie the hands of the Princeton University Investment Company. Caving to such demands would fruitlessly compromise the endowment’s return on investment and, more importantly, doing so would risk the many benefits that a strong endowment affords to Princeton students, especially a strong financial aid program.

PSII demands that the University symbolically adopt the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Investment and sign the Carbon Disclosure Project, calculate and publish the carbon footprint of the endowment’s various investments, and design and implement a plan to divest from environmentally dubious companies and impose this plan on all external investment managers. If implemented in a nominal way, the proposal will simply result in increasing reporting costs for PRINCO without shifting policy, which would simply be a waste. However, if this is to have an actual effect, it will require significant adjustments to the way in which the endowment is invested, permanently limiting the investment choices of PRINCO. That would be unwise. Were Princeton to divest itself of companies that are deemed environmentally unsound, it would have no impact on those companies’ behavior. There is a global market in such equities, so the impact of one institution’s divestment would be minimal. Even if many institutions similar to Princeton were to do so, the impact would be quite limited. Should the price of such companies’ stock dip even slightly below what it would be based solely on their earnings, any investment firm more interested in returns than sustainability scruples will increase their holding in these companies.

While PSII proponents might point to the impact of divestment in apartheid South Africa, the example only weakens their case. While there was a global consensus on international divestment from South African companies, noticeable impact of divestment on the relevant companies’ stock prices seems to have been effectively nonexistent. Moreover, nonrenewable energy usage is not apartheid. While apartheid was entirely unjustifiable, the harnessing of certain energy sources is not without benefits. Fossil fuel use has certain costs, but the cheap energy it provides can be crucial for economic development and the livelihood of many people worldwide. It is inappropriate to politicize the endowment; indeed, once the endowment becomes politicized, it may become increasingly restricted as more groups push for divestment in whatever industry or country they find objectionable. Furthermore, PSII’s demands would be costly. They would impose burdensome accounting costs on PRINCO simply to measure the environmental impact of every single company in which PRINCO has holdings either directly or indirectly. Moreover, portfolio allocation changes would impose costs that stem from selling large amounts of an investment, to say nothing of forgone potential returns from the investment. Furthermore, many investment structures employed in oil and natural gas extraction are entirely illiquid. Leaving these would entail substantial legal expenses and losses on the investment. On top of this, PRINCO’s operations going forward would be hampered by needing to examine the possible environmental impact of any company before taking a position on it. These problems would be multiplied, since the proposal mandates that PRINCO only employ external asset managers who follow the same restrictive policies. PRINCO does critical work for the University. The returns on the University’s endowment enable Princeton to grant generous financial aid packages to 60 percent of students. If these returns are threatened, then so too is Princeton’s ability to welcome all students, regardless of financial situation. PSII’s willingness to risk certain benefits for the sake of a misguided symbolic gesture is the mark of activist naïveté. Aditya Trivedi ’16 recused himself from the writing of this editorial. Jeffrey Leibenhaut ’16 and Jill Wilkowski ’15 abstained from this editorial.

DISSENT:

Anna Mazarakis ’16

The majority opines that University divestment would have marginal effect on the finances of affected companies, and would thus be ineffective as a means of protest. While it is true that the withdrawal of Princeton’s investments cannot alone materially impact the financial performance of these companies, the majority’s position ignores the significance of divestment’s symbolic role. Divestment as a political strategy expresses principled discontent and exposes the environmentally irresponsible business practices of companies who profit by contributing to global warming. Given the University’s prominence in mainstream media and the public consciousness, employing its endowment as a means of social change is perhaps one of the strongest ways that it can institutionally convey dissent. In so doing, the University would play an important part in setting a precedent for other institutions of higher learning, following Stanford’s recent highprofile decision to divest from coal. By continuing to actively hold investments in environmentally-harmful corporations, the University may tacitly be placing its imprimatur on industries harmful to our planet. The same concern was the basis of the 2013 faculty petition to divest from companies that manufactured firearms. Furthermore, the majority’s claim that divestment would be unreasonably costly seems to be blown out of proportion. Though new reporting measures and asset liquidation would surely come at some cost, we feel that these expenses would be warranted given the importance and urgency of acting against climate change. As of this year, the University’s endowment stands at an enormous $21 billion, the highest for any university globally on a per capita basis, and one of the world’s largest in absolute terms. With this in mind, Princeton could likely afford to make portfolio changes without substantive effects to student life (or financial aid, as the majority claims).

Somewhere between confidence and insecurity Erica Choi

contributing columnist

obody wants life advice from an 18-year-old. Instead of subjecting my audience to this unnecessary and fruitless endeavor, I will act as a mouthpiece for someone who is much wiser and more experienced than I am. Sarah is my best friend’s mom, who would tag along on our movie dates and make us questionable “green smoothies.” One day, she was giving my friend and me a talk about how we should approach success. It was the season of college applications, of heightened anxiety and inevitable rejections. She was telling me to be confident, of course, but her advice did not stop there. She said that along with being confident, I also needed to be, paradoxically enough, insecure; I should be simultaneously confident in my abilities to succeed and insecure

that I have not succeeded yet. I was not supposed to alternate between the two extremes; they had to coexist within me at all times. And each was not to take away from the other. Insecurity is a term which we shy away from because of the negative connotations it carries. It is important to recognize that the way she defined the word implied that there was nothing about ourselves that we had to be insecure over. To the contrary, we should be sure that we are so good that this elusive success could be and, in fact, should be ours. The only reason we should feel insecure is because the success that could be ours isn’t yet. Sarah had given me a lot of advice throughout the course of my high school career, but this particular piece of advice somehow did not resonate until after I started my time at Princeton. Academic success had never been too elusive before, but at this point in my freshman year at Princeton, I can say I have experienced a few humble successes and many, many more failures. Needless to say, this adjustment was difficult and sometimes made me feel unhappy. The first month was a true struggle and

during this time period, I reevaluated the way I viewed my competence. On several sleepless nights, I would twitch in my bed worrying about my grades and torturing myself over comments from my professor that I felt revealed my academic shortcomings. Her advice helped me when I was the most insecure about myself. Perhaps it was a cop-out, but the slight shift in blame made me feel not only better about myself but also more motivated. Of course I could do well at Princeton. Didn’t Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye tell us that she doesn’t make mistakes? I was not a mistake. This in turn pushed me to work harder, because if I could do well but wasn’t, the only logical explanation was that I was not working hard enough. The way I approached work was also different, because instead of thinking of it as something that I could not possibly do, I viewed it as something that should come to me. But as everything in life always is, balance is the key. There are situations where her advice would not apply. At times, I’ve started reading a book at 1 a.m. after being thrown from classes to work to club meetings, and then stayed

exasperated, upset and stressed until 5 a.m., knowing that I had a 9 a.m. class because I wanted to finish my HUM reading. This made me unhappy in a different way, because not completing a task would’ve indicated laziness on my part, as I was capable of finishing. I couldn’t be satiated, because part of the problem with success is that it’s always elusive. There’s always more that could be accomplished. For my sanity and happiness, I sometimes needed to realize that I was not as successful as I could be or maybe even that I could not be as successful as I wanted even if I tried my best — but that it was okay. Some things are not worth attaining because the opportunity costs are too high. I am certainly less stressed about Princeton now than I used to be, even though my course load increased this semester. This place is challenging, but not impossible. It was always doable — I just had to find my balance somewhere between confidence and insecurity. Erica Choi is a freshman from Bronxville, N.Y.

perfect pass allowed Ambler to dunk the ball past Johns Hopkins’ Eric Schneider. Princeton took overtime’s first face-off on a violation before sophomore midfielder Zach Currier made a gameturning, cerebral play. He picked up the ball and ran straight into his defender as the official’s whistle blew, eliciting a delay-of-game penalty on faceoff specialist Drew Kennedy — an offensive player must be given five yards of space on a restart of play. On that same play, the Blue Jays’ captain and all-American LSM Michael Pellegrino was flagged for an illegal body check, disadvantaging the home side by two men. Princeton’s man-up offense wore down the Johns Hopkins defense before Thompson fed McBride on the crease for a slam dunk and sudden victory goal.

Sanschagrin faced 27 ontarget shots from the Blue Jays, saving 12 in the winning effort. The emergence of sophomore Zach Currier has undoubtedly been the highlight of the Tigers’ season. His impeccable vision, ball control and scoring ability make the Canadian sensation one of the conference’s most dynamic threats. Currier, Orban and McBride shouldered almost all of the offensive work for Princeton midfielders. While these Tigers have certainly earned their stripes, it will be incumbent on the Princeton coaching staff to draw further offensive production out of their talent-loaded roster. Princeton’s past two wins have been all the more impressive considering the injuries suffered by a number of key contributors. Junior midfielder Jake Froccaro, junior defenseman Mark Strabo and sophomore LSM Will Reynolds have been sidelined the

past two seasons. The first of that trio spent last year proving that, on his day, he cannot be stopped. A tally of 10 goals in a single contest against Yale provides sufficient evidence. Last season, Strabo and Reynolds were two of the three starters at close defense for Princeton. What’s more, Strabo had not missed a start before his absence last weekend against Hofstra. Sophomore defenseman Bear Goldstein started all thirteen of Princeton’s contests last season. An always-solid on-ball defender, the secondyear standout has had to take on much more defensive responsibility as the most experienced player on the back line. Freshman Aran Roberts and sophomore Alistair Berven, neither of whom started a collegiate game before, have joined Goldstein on starting close-defense. The win over Johns Hopkins will help Princeton make their case as one of the nation’s best sides. The road will only get

more trying for the Tigers, who travel next weekend to face No. 10 Maryland. Women’s Lacrosse Down in the nation’s capital, coach Chris Sailer’s Tigers (3-0) had the opportunity to avenge last season’s 17-16 overtime loss to then-No. 14 Georgetown. They seized the chance emphatically, routing the Hoyas (0-2) by a score of 11-7. With the win, Princeton extends its series lead over Georgetown to 12-8 and snaps a two-game losing streak against the Hoyas. The Hoyas were, in fact, the first team to score in their home opener, as senior attack Caroline Tazarian tallied an unassisted marker just two and a half minutes into the contest. Tazarian, Georgetown’s leading scorer from 2014, would complete a hat trick that day on seven shots. Princeton responded in short order, as a goal by sophomore midfielder Olivia Hompe, assisted by senior

attack Erin McMunn, equalized the score with 25:17 on the clock. It was all Orange and Black for the remainder of the first half. Hompe would score twice more while McMunn tallied a pair of first half goals. Freshman attack Haley Giraldi and sophomore midfielder Anna Doherty added goals of their own to complete a 7-0 Tiger rampage. This demoralizing advantage would prove insurmountable. The home side scored four of the first five goals in the second period, interrupted by an unassisted strike from senior midfielder Erin Slifer. With under 20 minutes to play in the contest, Hompe started a two-goal run of her own which extended Princeton’s lead to 10-5. The sophomore’s five-goal performance comes on the heels of a four-goal effort against Drexel. As the early season results have proved, Princeton has no shortage of scoring threats on their roster. McMunn and Slifer comprise

Whitney Wyckoff responded with a jumper, but the Tigers didn’t let the Bulldogs gain any momentum, scoring the next nine points of the game on a three pointer and layup from Tarakchian, a layup from Dietrick and a layup by junior guard Amanda Berntsen, leaving the Tigers up 11-2. Bulldog Emmy Allen managed to score three points on a layup and a free throw, but the Tigers managed to start another run, scoring seven points in just over a minute, sparked by a Tarakchian layup and followed by a layup and three from Dietrick. The Tigers maintained their lead, managing to pull ahead by 15 with just under seven minutes left in the period off a pair of free throws from sophomore guard Vanessa Smith. The final run of the period came with less than

two minutes left in the period as a Dietrick layup, a Berntsen bucket and a free throw from senior forward Mariah Smith stretched the Tiger lead from 11 to 16 points to close out the half. The second period opened with a layup from Dietrick less than 20 seconds into the half. The rest of the game followed with dominance from the Tigers, who powered past the Yale offense and defense, putting Princeton up by as much as 32 points with 13 minutes left on the clock. The game closed out with a layup by senior guard Alex Rodgers at 3:15 that led to a quick Yale run that ended with a jumper from Rodgers. The victory over Brown broke the Princeton record for most wins in a single season, passing the 2009-10 previous best record of 26-3. The Tigers are only one game shy of matching the league record for the best start in Ivy League history, second to

the 1970-71 Penn men’s team that went 28-0 to start their season. Three Tigers scored in the double figures, with Miller leading the pack with 20 points. Dietrick also had a good game, finishing with 15 points, five assists and four boards. Wheatley was the third Tiger to score in the double digits, finishing with 16 points after going 6-for-6 from the field. The Tigers opened the game with a Dietrick layup, but got off to a rocky start that left the squad down 13-12 with just over 12 minutes left in the period. A pair of Smith layups closed the gap, and the Tigers were able to stay ahead of the Bears for the rest of the game. Miller then scored five straight points on two layups and a free throw, and after a Tarakchian layup, Miller scored six more from behind the arc, leaving the Tigers up by six with 6:14 left on the clock. Brown rallied back to come within three

three minutes after coming back to tie the game. While the Tigers were unable to make a comeback run, they kept this contest close for almost the full 20 minutes of the second half. The Bulldogs were not able to push the lead to larger amounts until the waning minutes of the game. Along with Cook, Princeton saw solid performances from freshman guard Amir Bell and senior guard Clay Wilson, who all had efficient nights on the offensive end. It appears that the inability to convert free-throw opportunities doomed the Tigers: Princeton shot 12-26 at the line, while Yale converted 26 of 28. Despite a disheartening loss, Princeton was able to find far more success in its

trip to Providence the next evening. This high-powered Tiger offense would have many opportunities against the Bears (13-16, 4-8), which has had the worst defense in the Ivy League this season. Princeton attacked Brown early and never let up, going up by as many as 29 points in the game and eventually finishing with a score of 80-62. Again, Cook led the Tigers in his efficient shooting, putting up 15 points on 67 percent shooting, and also grabbing seven rebounds in the game. In addition to Cook’s strong performance, sophomore wing Spencer Weisz stuffed the stat sheet for the Tigers, putting up 12 points, six boards and six assists on the day. Moreover, the Tigers’ main weakness in their last game turned into their best asset when downing the Bears. One day after putting up a woeful free-throw percent-

age, Princeton shot excellently from the line, going 18-23 on the game. The Bears, on the other hand, would not fare nearly as well, going 10-21 on the day. While the Tigers may have to wait another year for a shot at an NCAA berth, their season may not end when they finish their last three Ivy League games. As with last season, the Tigers can be chosen for the College Basketball Invitational tournament taking place in mid-March. Before thoughts of the postseason, the Tigers must finish the regular season against Columbia, Cornell and Penn. Holding a 2 — 1 record in their three games against these teams, it would appear that the TIgers have a good chance of finishing the regular season out strong. However, in the deceptively competitive Ivy League, wins can certainly be hard to come by.

Intensity abound as squash season ends SQUASH Continued from page 6

She defeated Michelle Wong in the first round and Penn No. 1 Yan Xin Tan in the second, both with quick threegame victories. On Saturday Bunyan pulled off a fantastic victory over the 3rd-seeded Danielle Letourneau of Cornell, younger sister of former Princeton All-American David Letourneau ’11, in a marathon of a match. Bunyan grabbed an early lead with an 11-8 win in the first game but dropped the second 12-10. She recaptured the lead with an 11-9 win in the third game but was pushed to five fol-

lowing a grueling 19-17 loss in the fourth. Bunyan finally closed out Letourneau with a 12-10 win to secure the victory. The run ended for Bunyan and Fiechter in the semis where they were both bested in 3-0 losses to Harvard’s Amanda Sobhy and Trinity’s Kanzi El Defrawy, respectively, the top two players in women’s squash over the last three years. Sobhy and El Defrawy had met in the championship final the last three years and for the fourth straight year Sobhy emerged victorious, joining Princeton head coach Gail Ramsay as the only four-time college squash national champion.

Samuel Kang’s journey to the quarterfinals was bumpy. He battled injuries throughout his senior season, but his four years at Princeton have been marked by perseverance and grit. Following a 3-0 victory in the first round, he was forced to come back from a 2-1 deficit against Rochester’s Tomotaka Endo in the second round. He won in five but was outmatched by his quarterfinal opponent, the second-seeded Osama Khalifa of Columbia, who went on to appear in the championship match. The CSA Individual Championships marked the end of the season for the squash team.

points of the Tigers with 1:49 left in the period, but the Tigers managed to net four more points off a pair of Dietrick shots from the charity stripe and another layup from Miller. The second half of the game saw Tarakchian net three points from behind the arc in the first 10 seconds of the period, followed soon after by a Wheatley layup and a Tarakchian jumper to put the Tigers up by 12 with their first double-digit lead of the game. The Bears didn’t get on the scoreboard during the second half until 15:14 on a trio of jumpers from Jordin Alexander. Brown shaved down the Tiger lead to only nine points with 11:31 left in the game, but the Tiger offense quickly kicked

into gear with a layup from Wheatley and a three from Miller to push the lead back up to 14 points. The Tigers led by as much as 16 with only seven minutes left in the game, but Brown kept fighting, pushing the lead back down again to eight points on another jumper from Alexander with only 1:23 left on the clock. A three-pointer from sophomore guard Taylor Brown and a combined three Tiger free throws from Wheatley and Berntsen allowed the Tigers to reestablish their double figure lead, to close the game 12 points ahead of Brown, 79-63. The Tigers will return to action next weekend with games against Cornell and Columbia before finishing their regular season with a

an almost unstoppable senior duo. The emergence of Hompe adds yet another dimension to the already dynamic Tiger offense. Such a scoring distribution has become characteristic of this program. Last year’s final stat sheet showed eight Tigers scoring over 20 goals (and six with over 30 points). Remarkably, all seven of Georgetown’s goals were unassisted. This stat speaks partly to a lack of creativity in the Hoya offense, but equally to the strength of Princeton’s offball defense. Behind the defensive line, sophomore goalkeeper Ellie DeGarmo made her second start of the season. The second year netminder has impressed early, tallying a total of 24 saves against 53 shots, good for the Ivy League’s best save percentage. The Tigers will hit the road over the next two weeks. They will first face conference rival Dartmouth before turning to the difficult test posed by the No. 8 Virginia Cavaliers.

Unstoppable Tigers continue perfect season By Sydney Mandelbaum associate sports editor

The record-breaking women’s basketball team put another exciting weekend on the books as the Tigers (270 overall, 11-0 Ivy) cruised through victories over Yale and Brown. This weekend, as the Tigers set a program record for the most wins in a single season, head coach Courtney Banghart also broke the record for the most coaching victories in program history, just days after junior guard Michelle Miller was named to the College Sports Information Directors of America/Capital One

Academic All-America third team. This weekend’s dominant performance brought the Tigers even closer to a perfect season as the Tigers defeated Yale 67-49 and Brown 79-67. After a close victory over Yale earlier this season and the smallest margin of victory the Tigers have seen this entire season, the Tigers had little trouble pushing past the Bulldogs a second time around on Friday night. The Yale game marked Banghart’s 164th career win, allowing her to pass Joan Kowalik in the record books and giving her the most victories as a coach in program

history. Banghart has led the Tigers to four conference championships, and, under her guidance, the Tigers have a 89-17 record in Ivy League play. Two Tigers scored in the double digits on Friday night, with senior guard Blake Dietrick leading the pack with 18 points, five assists, three boards and two steals. Junior guard/forward Annie Tarakchian followed, scoring 16 points and six rebounds. The game opened with a Dietrick layup after junior forward Alex Wheatley won the opening tip. Yale’s See W.

Both lacrosse teams see weekend wins By Andrew Steele senior writer

After the weekend, both lacrosse teams maintained perfect seasons.

There is good reason to think that this season of Princeton lacrosse will prove a memorable one. Both the men’s and women’s squads remain undefeated after picking up impressive wins over the weekend. Underclassmen were instrumental in both contests, as two sophomores, midfielder Gavin McBride and Olivia Hompe, played some of the best lacrosse of their young careers. Hompe overwhelmed the Georgetown defense with five goals, while McBride scored a brilliant overtime goal on a feed from freshman attackman Riley Thompson. Men’s Lacrosse Saturday saw perhaps the two biggest names in college lacrosse face off in the 85th

installment of their rivalry: No. 18 Princeton (3-0) travelled to face No. 12 Johns Hopkins (2-3). With the win, the Tigers narrow the Blue Jays’ series lead slightly to 56-29. Princeton head coach Chris Bates improves his record against Johns Hopkins to 4-2. Senior midfielder and captain Kip Orban began what would be a 7-0, 10-minute Princeton run. A team as talented and well-coached as Johns Hopkins would have little trouble maintaining optimism in the face of such a disadvantage, and it quickly became apparent that this contest would be competitive from start to finish. As proved problematic late in the previous weekend’s matchup with Hofstra, Princeton found itself playing an excess of man-down

defense. The Blue Jays converted seven of their 10 power play opportunities, with their man-up unit getting the better of senior goalkeeper Eric Sanschagrin five consecutive times over a five-minute stretch. Johns Hopkins’ freshman midfielder Patrick Fraser notched a hat trick within 80 seconds on three extra-man goals and narrowed Princeton’s lead to 7-6. Fraser was one of eight players, four coming from each side, to record hat tricks in the contest. Orban finished the game with a career-high four goals along with two assists. Princeton held a 12-10 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Again, a disadvantage would not deter the Blue Jays, who fought back in the final period with a four-goal run. With just under 10 minutes to

play, Johns Hopkins’ attackman Ryan Brown, assisted by midfielder John Crawley, scored his third goal of the contest (and 19th of the season) to give his team a 13-12 lead. The sides would go back and forth until an unassisted goal by Blue Jay midfielder Joel Tinney established a 15-14 advantage with just over two minutes to play. With just 32.5 seconds left in regulation, a timeout gave Princeton’s offense the chance to force overtime. A couple of promising Princeton shots failed to find twine. But the attacking combination of senior Mike MacDonald and junior Ryan Ambler provided the necessary heroics with seven seconds left on the clock. The latter found the former cutting across the crease, and a See LACROSSE page 7

Individual championships Tigers split conclude squash season games in By Gordon Moore contributor

With Jadwin Gymnasium hosting the College Squash Association Individual Championships for the first time this weekend, the Tigers made sure to offer plenty of thrills. Sophomore Alexandra Toth capped the three days of excitement, grabbing the Women’s B Division title Sunday afternoon. She was the only Tiger to compete all three days. Freshman Kira Keating’s run in the Women’s B Division was cut short on Saturday, when she was knocked out in the round of 16. In the Women’s A Division, sophomore Maria Elena Ubina and freshman sensation Olivia Fiechter collided in the quarterfinals on Saturday, where Fiechter emerged victorious only to fall later that day in the semis. Fellow Tiger, senior Nicole Bunyan, faced a similar fate, losing in the semis on the opposite side of the bracket. In the Men’s A Division, tri-captain senior Samuel Kang bowed out in the quarters. Ubina came into the tour-

nament as the fifth seed, just as she did last year, and sailed smoothly through the opening rounds, winning all six of her individual games. The only challenge came Friday night, when she had to close out Harvard’s Alyssa Mehta in a 14-12 win to emerge with a 3-0 victory and advance to the quarters, where she had been knocked out last year. Fiechter faced little resistance in her opening matchup dropping only four points against Sherilyn Yang of Franklin and Marshall, but her second round match against Anna Porras of George Washington proved more difficult. She dropped the third game but secured the victory with an 11-8 fourth game win, setting up the clash with Ubina. The Tiger-on-Tiger showdown was an instant classic, with Fiechter dropping the first two games in 11-8 and 12-10 losses before battling back to win the final three 11-6, 11-8, 11-8. The 11th-seeded Bunyan played beautiful squash on Friday, and took down two Penn Quakers in the process. See SQUASH page 7

road trip up north By Miles Hinson sports editor

With this weekend’s games finished, the Princeton men’s basketball team finds itself mathematically eliminated from a chance at the Ivy League title. They currently stand in third place, likely to finish in the same position they did last year behind their perennial rivals, Yale and Harvard. The Tigers (13-14 overall, 6-5 Ivy League) were finishing the second half of a four-game road trip, the longest of their season. The task of defeating the league powerhouse Bulldogs (21-8, 10-2) on their home court certainly never looked easy. In particular, dealing with star players Justin Sears and Javier Duren had proven to be a challenge for the Tiger defense in the past. The two players certainly

would not disappoint. Sears had another monster game against the Tigers: he would dominate on both the offensive and defensive ends, putting up 28 points, 12 boards, three steals and two blocks. Duren, for his part, would add 19 points and four assists to the victory as the Bulldogs would go on to an 81-60 victory. The score of this game, however, does not totally ref lect the intensity with which the Tigers fought.

Princeton ended the first half with a three-point lead. Even more impressive, they went on a 12-3 run after going down by as much as six. Sophomore guard Stephen Cook was impressive yet again, putting up seven points, three assists and two boards before halftime. Moreover, Princeton jumped out of the gate early in the second half, pushing its lead to as much as eight points. The early run in the second half was a

team effort, with five different players contributing points to help spark the strong start. The Bulldogs, however, would take over from there. An 8-0 run, stemming from hard drives and many free throw opportunities, got them back level with the Tigers. The Bulldogs’ commitment to getting attempts down low would pay dividends for the rest of the game, as they obtained a seven-point lead See M. B-BALL page 7
