Sustainable Princeton awarded $100K for climate action plan

By Jeff Zymeri senior writer

“In our world, there needs to be a real change in mindset,” explained Molly Jones, Executive Director of Sustainable Princeton, after a Sept. 11 announcement that the local organization had received a $100,000 grant to create a Climate Action Plan for the town of Princeton. “We need to consider the human impact on the environment.”

Sustainable Princeton has built a reputation collaborating with both the town and the University on projects relating to sustainability and environmental impact. According to a press release, the local organization will use

the grant to work with the municipality to lower the town’s greenhouse gas emissions and better prepare the town’s infrastructure to withstand “the dramatically increasing impacts of climate change.”

Mayor Liz Lempert was quick to praise the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the “nation’s largest philanthropy dedicated solely to health” according to its website, for choosing Princeton to serve as a model for developing a CAP by awarding the town the $100,000 grant.

“It is a priority for the town to develop resiliency as we experience more frequent, intense storms, and flooding events,” said Lempert. “We also have a re-

sponsibility to do our part in reducing the emissions that contribute to climate change.”

Jones agreed with Lempert that a CAP is a priority for the community. She emphasized that this was a step in the right direction for the town, which has not been as aggressive as the University on combating climate change.

“The University has dedicated energy and thought to [the issue of climate change] in a more proactive way than the town,” said Jones. “It would be safe to say that the University has been focused on a plan of their own emission reduction in a more premeditated way and that the town is working to get to that point

The University has taken another step towards sustainability by offering a new “Princeton Crafted Burger,” which was released during the beginning of the academic year.

This burger is a blend of local mushrooms and grassfed beef. It is currently being served in all dining halls, Frist Campus Center, Princeton Concessions, and other venues operated by Campus Dining as the only option for beef burgers.

as well.”

The Princeton Council decided to make a CAP a priority in their 2017 work plan. According to Jones, the CAP allows the town to really prioritize which activities and actions will decrease Princeton emissions.

Sustainable Princeton plan’s first step is to develop a greenhouse gas inventory for the town. Soon afterwards, an advisory committee will be convened to determine what other specific goal should be set.

“Should we have a 1 percent decrease in emissions per year for the next 10 years, or 30 years, or should we do something more bold like aim to become a

able than the all-beef burgers previously served by the University.

“We’re always looking for ways to support our wellness and sustainability commitments,” said Lentz. “This burger is nice because that blend between beef and mushrooms helps us to lower our carbon impact.”

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, it takes 1,840 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. In comparison, it takes only 1.8 gallons of water to produce one pound of mushrooms, according to Lentz.

Along with the mushrooms, the use of grass-fed beef also aids in sustainability. According to Lentz, the production See BURGER page 2

Former U.S. Senator and professional basketball player Bill Bradley ’65 endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy on Monday.

The endorsement comes several months after the New Jersey party primaries took place.

The gubernatorial election is set to take place Nov. 7.

On Monday, Bradley joined Murphy and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker at the Tigerlabs accelerator and incubator. Later that morning, Murphy and Booker also announced a new workforce development plan.

The plan includes free community college within four years and enhanced coding and apprenticeship programs, according to New Jersey 101.5. At Tigerlabs, Murphy and Bradley discussed the need to grow New Jersey’s innovation economy.

In a recent Quinnipiac University poll, Murphy led his Republican opponent Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno by 25 points, cutting across party gender, education, age, and racial groups, according to NJ.com.

In the time after Bradley retired from the Senate, he has been offered several other jobs in government and been discussed as a possible pick for several appointments.

Bradley was recently on campus for an event to celebrate a second donation of Bradley’s own documents to the University as part of the Oral History Project.

Bradley’s career at the University included leading the Tigers to finish third in the 1965 NCAA tournament and being named the 1965 NCAA Player of the Year. He also played on the 1964 U.S. Olympic basketball team, earning gold. Graduating magna cum laude, he took a Rhodes Scholarship to attend Oxford and delay his decision of whether to play in the NBA. He was also the subject of Ferris Professor of Journalism John McPhee’s New Yorker article “A Sense of Where You Are.” Bradley played for the New York Knicks before running and winning two terms in the U.S. Senate. He campaigned unsuccessfully for the 2000 Democratic presidential nomination.

Jones asked.

The town could aim for a 10 percent reduction in fossil fuel driven vehicles or it could amplify its focus on pedestrians and bicycles in the downtown area due to the CAP. “It will be up to this advisory committee to really help figure out which direction things will go,” Jones explained.

Shana Weber, Director of the University’s Office of Sustainability and a member of Sustainable Princeton’s Board, was involved in high-level discussions and planning leading up to the current proposal. She noted that climate action planning is a powerful tool See CAP page 3

The University ranked 10th in a list of most affordable private colleges, according to a study conducted by the company Student Loan Hero.

With an average indebtedness of graduates of $8,577, the University was the only Ivy League university on the list, which included College of the Ozarks in Missouri ($5,339), Davis College in New York ($5,360), Barclay College in Kansas ($7,220), and Brigham Young University in Utah ($15,720).

The cost of tuition and fees at private nonprofit four-year schools is $33,480 on average, according to the College Board based on data from the 20162017 school year. This is $23,830 higher than in-state tuition at public four-year institutions.

Student Loan Hero’s study dispels the mantra told to many college applicants that all private colleges are expensive by presenting a list of 20 colleges with less than $25,550 in average indebtedness of graduates.

Student Loan Hero analyzed 670 private U.S. colleges and ranked the schools based on four factors: tuition and fees for 2015-2016, the 2014-2015 estimates of the cost of attendance after the average financial aid package is applied, the proportion of students graduating with student debt, and the average indebtedness of a 2015 graduate. Tuition, net cost, and proportion of students each contributed onefifth of the ranking score, and the average indebtedness was weighted twice as heavily.

Data was collected from the most recent data from the Institute for College Access & Success Project on Student Debt and the National Center of Educational Statistics.

of grass-fed beef may help to naturally restore topsoil.

Lentz also described some of the other benefits of the beef used in the burger.

“Grass-fed beef is considered to be the healthier choice because it is lower in saturated fats and higher in antioxidants,” he said. He added that the beef also conforms to halal standards.

The use of mushrooms as a substitute for meat brings up the question of taste.

“One of the things important to us was that we did not sacrifice taste,” Lentz explained. He said that in his personal experience, most students have not noticed a difference.

Eileen Chan, a dining hall worker, said, “To me it tastes good, but some people might not like it because some people do not like mushrooms.”

When asked if there was a difference in taste between an all-beef burger and the crafted burger, Chan said that the difference was mostly in texture and that the mushrooms made the burger a bit blander, saying,“it tastes a bit more like salt.”

Others have not noticed a difference in the burgers.

“I didn’t know they changed it,” said Josue Chirinos ‘20. He said the only thing he noticed is that the burger is a little bit thicker this year than last year. He added that he liked the new burger more.

“The f lavor is really good, I didn’t know that it had mushrooms in it,” said Jaren McKinnie ’21.

He added that it is one of the best burgers he had ever eaten.

“It tastes really high quality and is better than some of the burgers from restaurants back home,” McKinnie said.

When asked about the lack of options featuring red meat, Chan said, “I think overall, reducing meat consumption is good for the environment.

I’m slowly trying to get off red meat, so for me this is a good thing.” However, she noted that some students might prefer to have the option of red meat being available to them.

Others were less concerned.

“I doubt any of the students will notice a difference,” Chirinos said. There has also been a positive response to the sustainability aspect of the burger.

“It’s really nice to see that the student body cares about the environment,” Chan said.

“I think this is a good change.”

“I’m proud to be part of a university that is taking a step towards sustainability,” said McKinnie. Since he also enjoys the taste of the burger, he adds that the new crafted burger is the best of both worlds.

U. to collaborate with Town on sustainability CAP

............. to strengthen communities across the country.

“Part of being active citizens is planning now for a future that assures infrastructure resilient to storms, strong community connections, smart management of resources, and reduced risk associated with reliance on fossil fuel based energy systems, to name a few,” she said.

She further explained that many towns, colleges and universities across the state of New Jersey and the nation have or are developing climate actions plans as a priority. This development is occurring, said Weber, because the impacts of climate change are being felt in very tangible ways, thus spurring towns, colleges, and universities to be part of the new wave of creative problem-solving.

Weber also reaffirmed the University’s position as one of Sustainable Princeton’s partners. The University “will continue to explore collaboration and synergy in all areas of sustainability with the objective of collective positive impact,” she said.

In the past, the University has partnered with the township and local organizations on a number of other projects related to sustainability and climate change by providing student interns, faculty subject area expertise, and staff time. A recent example of such collaboration was the opening of the renewable energy-focused Princeton Parklet located outside jaZam’s toy store, co-sponsored by the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.

While many sustain-

ability and environmental student groups on campus were supportive of the grant awarded to Sustainable Princeton, some students cautioned both the municipality and Sustainable Princeton to act with nuance.

Dan Sturm ‘18, co-president of Green Princeton and a longtime resident of the town, explained that his primary hope is that “the money is used to study and learn about what towns in general can do to combat climate change, rather than to develop solutions that are unique to Princeton.”

“Other similar-sized towns in the US are not as wealthy as Princeton,” Sturm explained. “[They] do not have $100,000 grants to study climate change solutions, and don’t have governments [or] residents that are as interested in fighting climate change as those of Princeton.”

Sturm also encouraged the town to continue to develop in other areas where it may be lacking.

“My final hope is that in developing the climate action plan and planning the development of the town, Princeton keeps in mind the importance of things besides climate change, such as affordable housing,” said Sturm. “Any time during which the town develops in one respect is a time for it to develop in many respects.

Development of the CAP began on the day it was announced and is expected to continue until December 2019. Any CAP is subject to final approval from the Princeton Council, the town’s legislative body.

ore than anything, it was my interactions with the watermelon sellers that taught me about myself.

Every day, I would hear them come around our neighborhood and yell at the top of their lungs that the watermelons were fresh, that they were the best, and that they only cost four somoni (about 50 cents). I was often tempted to buy one for my host parents, but I never did. Every once in awhile, we would pass each other on the street, and as any proper Tajik girl should, I looked down. But they still asked my 12-yearold host cousin for my number. My host sister told me to never give it to them.

Tajikistan was, and is, a country unlike most other Westerners will ever visit. It’s a place where the women wear colorful dresses and fastidiously dye their eyebrows. It’s a place where the gaudy is “in.” It’s a place where the mountains are everywhere, especially on the printed t-shirts in the one trendy store downtown. It’s a place that never fully left the Soviet Union. It’s also a place I

came to call home.

My two months in Tajikistan this past summer taught me a tremendous amount about the world that we, as Westerners, rarely ever see.

Every year, thousands of American college students go abroad, whether for a summer, semester, or full academic year.

They inevitably return claiming that the experience was life-changing, and that they now have a better understanding of foreign lands, as well as of themselves.

In the 2014-2015 school year, about 55 percent of all study abroad students studied somewhere in Europe, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educators.

Almost 40 percent of students go to the UK, Italy, Spain, and France. Over half of all American students who study abroad do so in Europe, but according to Worldometers, only 9.9 percent of the global population lives there. This makes sense: Europe is culturally far closer to the United States than, say, Africa or Asia. Most European languages, especially those spoken in the UK, Italy, France, and Spain, are far easier for native English speakers to learn than languages like Japanese,

Zulu, or Hindi. Further, the educational standard in most European countries is comparable to the American one, making studying there a reasonable decision.

Studying in Western Europe, however, is unlikely to give students a true perspective on the remaining 90.1 percent of the world’s population or teach them about intercultural affairs. Western Europe, particularly the UK, is not very different from the United States in the grand scheme of things. Sure, you might need to learn a Romance or Germanic language and grasp a few cultural nuances, but you won’t need to learn how to get your homework done when the electricit y goes out, understand a different male-female dy namic, or tr y to fit in, in a countr y where you don’t look like the people around you.

That’s not to say that study ing in Western Eu rope isn’t worthwhile. It has a tremendous amount of benef its ranging from genera l educationa l quality to ease of integration — that is to say that it’s just easier to “fit in” in a place where you look and dress like the people around you,

to a greater or lesser degree. But, for almost the same reasons, the experience is un likely to teach American students a lot about the world at large, specifical ly the non-Western world. I can say this after also hav ing studied in France and Israel, t wo countries which I greatly enjoyed but which u ltimately taught me little about the non-Western world.

I m iss my interactions w ith the watermelon sellers. You don’t hear people yell about watermelon prices in the United States, much less in most other Western countries. It’s from them that I learned how men and women interact in Central Asia; it’s from them that I learned how and why the prices of food products there are so cheap. And maybe students study ing in Western Europe have such interactions w ith the greengrocers and the f ishmongers, professions we have back in the States — but where in Wester n Eu rope would you ever meet a watermelon seller?

Letter to the Editor: Legacies of incarceration Jenny Greene

Guest Contributor

T

he Harvard administration set off a firestorm when it rejected a formerly incarcerated woman who had already been recommended by the Department of Histor y.

Numerous media outlets have covered the case of Michelle Jones, who is now pursuing a Ph.D. in history at New York University. While incarcerated, she completed an undergraduate degree and then became a published scholar in American studies with her paper “Magdalene Laundries: The First Prisons for Women in the United States.” She also wrote a play to be performed in a theater in Indianapolis.

Jones’s story is intensely

personal for those of us that teach for the Prison Teaching Initiative at the University (and I do mean personal: I all but threatened to divorce my husband when he suggested he would want to see her application before siding with the candidate Jones over the Harvard administration). We at PTI teach college-level courses to inmates throughout the New Jersey state and federal prison systems. Jones’s impressive resume and subsequent rejection evokes for us all of the brilliant students that we have taught over PTI’s 11-year history. These individuals are every bit as talented as students we teach at the University, but have been denied the opportunity to revel in academic pursuits.

It is amazing to watch our students discover their ow n talents, but it is bittersweet. PTI was awarded a National Science Foundation Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) grant, specif ical ly to strengthen STEM pipelines w ithin the prison system and to pave the way for STEM degrees and employ ment. We ran an information session this fall, and the ver y first question the students asked was, “What jobs are open to me as a formerly incarcerated individual? ” Of course, they are always precariously situated at the mercy of someone (like the Harvard admin-

istration) swooping in and denying them access to their dream career. We at PTI know that no one has fought harder, or proven their grit more successfully, than scholars born in prisons. But in this country, the stigma of being formerly incarcerated is lifelong. As powerful as prison education may be, we cannot truly succeed until we can guarantee formerly incarcerated individuals the opportunity to leave their past behind and live a productive life.

As the University works to be more inclusive at all levels, I hope we can learn from Har vard’s treatment of Jones. We must confront the question: Is Princeton prepared to admit the formerly incarcerated even if they have (po-

tentially violent) crimes in their past? The University can take pride in the fact that its graduate application form has no “box” to check for those w ith a criminal record.

There is no question that our formerly incarcerated students w ill bring the passion and intelligence to succeed, or that our campus will be strengthened by their presence.

Give Public Safety Narcan Beni Snow

columnist

T

HE UNITED States is currently experiencing an opiate epidemic, with the number of overdoses increasing every year. In 2015, 33,000 people in the United States died of overdoses. The total number of people who overdosed is much higher.

An overdose is not always fatal, much like alcohol poisoning. Unlike alcohol poisoning, however, opiate overdoses won’t get better after a night in McCosh Health Center. Narcan, a medication, can reverse opiate overdoses, but minutes matter. That is why Public Safety should be equipped with Narcan and be trained on how it is administered.

Narcan is effective, and it’s needed here. In May, Princeton municipal police responded to and reversed an

overdose using Narcan. Had that overdose occurred on campus, Public Safety would have responded without being equipped to help, and that person could have died before emergency medical services responded.

Princeton doesn’t seem like the kind of place where people abuse opiates like heroin. However, the modern heroin epidemic has made stereotyping the kind of person who abuses heroin a pointless exercise. The median new heroin user is a 23-year-old white person from the suburbs. Look around Princeton. That’s basically the main demographic here.

You probably know someone who has abused opiates, even if you don’t know that they are addicted. You might know someone who has overdosed.

You might even know someone who died. Drug overdoses are the number one cause of accidental death in America, killing more people than ei-

ther cars or guns. And in case you think that this isn’t an issue that affects elite colleges, take the example of Johns Hopkins. Last May, four students there overdosed on opiates at an off-campus fraternity house, and were given Narcan by Baltimore police.

Opioid addiction does not always arise from reckless actions. About 92 million people were prescribed opiates in the United States in 2015. That’s more than one in every three people. Many can develop an addiction to opioids after receiving a prescription. Once addicted, simple economics can fuel the transition from prescribed opiates, to unprescribed pills, and then on to drugs like heroin or fentanyl.

A single oxycodone pill can cost $30 on the street, and isn’t enough for someone with tolerance. A hit of heroin might be $15. According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, four out of five heroin addicts starting

out with prescription painkillers, which, again, one out of three Americans use.

Princeton is usually quite proactive in adopting methods of making the campus safer. Thanks to programs like Outdoor Action, there are hundreds of students walking around trained in CPR and in how to administer epinephrine for anaphylaxis. Campus benefits from the safety net of such training. Princeton also grants Public Safety access to guns, which could only keep Princetonians safe during highly unlikely events, such as an active shooter situation, and even then their usefulness is questionable. For the far more likely case of an opiate overdose, they have nothing and have to rely on EMS or the municipal police. If the University is willing to arm its officers, it should be willing to equip them with Narcan too.

Narcan is a cheap drug, costing $75 for two doses for

group purchasers, like police departments. The training is simple, since the drug comes as a nasal spray, not as some complicated injector. In some cities, librarians are trained to administer the drug. There’s no reason why Public Safety shouldn’t also be prepared. And once Public Safety is properly trained and equipped, the University could then consider making Narcan accessible to students. Bridgewater State University just became to first university in the country to provide access to the drug to the entire community.

We can’t wait until the first death on campus happens, and then wonder what we should have done. The time to act is now.

Tigers narrowly lose against Blue Devils but triumph UMD

By Grace Baylis staff writer

The Tigers faced no. 4 Duke last weekend, f lying down to North Carolina on Saturday. This marked the start of a busy schedule for the Princeton field hockey team as they embark on a period of six games in two weeks. Unfortunately, the Tigers didn’t start this period the way they would have wanted to, losing narrowly to the Duke Blue Devils, 2-1.

The game, although a close one, was a disappointing result for Princeton who then stood at 1-3. The play was even in the first half, with both sides having great opportunities to be the first on the scoreboard; however, a penalty corner awarded in the final minute of the first half allowed Duke to take a 1-0 lead going into the second half. The initial shot was saved by sophomore goalkeeper Grace Baylis, but the rebound fell nicely to a Duke forward who finished calmly.

As the second half started, the Tigers made a few tactical changes and started to push the Blue Devils. The momentum seemed very much in Princeton’s favor, despite being one down. As the back-and-forth game continued, with both defenses standing strong, a ball that split the Princeton defenders into the circle bounced off a Princeton stick and dropped perfectly to a Duke forward. Duke would then double their lead later in the game.

However, as anyone that knows Princeton field hockey would say, it’s not over until it’s over. Being somewhat of a comeback team, the Tigers had some

great scoring chances from penalty corners in the second half, and although Duke’s goalkeeper made a couple of good saves on the corners, she was unable to keep out senior captain Ryan McCarthy’s sweep on goal. McCarthy swept the ball from the top of the circle into the bottom right hand corner. The race was on once again, 2-1 with less than ten minutes to go.

The Tigers then scored a goal that would have tied the game, but it was dis-

allowed after video referral deemed it dangerous.

But Princeton didn’t stop there; the Tigers managed to create more scoring opportunities off corners.

Even so, Princeton could not finish, and the final corner, with less than a minute left, saw the Duke goalkeeper once again save junior captain Sophia Tornetta’s final attempt on the cage.

Despite Princeton’s best efforts, the Blue Devils managed to wriggle out of an upset and hold onto

their 2-1 lead. Although this was a disappointing result for Princeton, the energy that the Tigers brought was something that they will need to carry through the season if they are to replicate the success they saw last year.

A quick turnaround for Princeton saw them play no.10 Maryland on Tuesday. The Tigers went into this game with the same energy they had at Duke.

Although not always an easy mindset to have with a midweek game, this en-

ergy saw them get on the scoreboard quickly. This was the first lead they had seen against a topten team this season.

McCarthy picked up the ball off a mistake by the Maryland defender and found herself on- on-one with the goalkeeper. The senior kept her calm in front goal and slotted away the ball. The Tigers were off!

Freshman Clara Roth then doubled the lead off a penalty corner that sophomore Taylor Nolan earned. Despite continued pressure at the end of the first half, Princeton stood strong and took the 2-0 lead into the second period.

The second half was scrappier for both teams.

Princeton again came close to scoring a third to give them some breathing room, but the Maryland Terps responded, creating lots of chances which eventually lead to a stroke. After a highly contested call, the Maryland sophomore Bodil Keus calmly f licked the ball into the net. There was still time left on the clock for Maryland to take the game to overtime. But incredible work ethic and grit from the whole team, along with a stellar defensive performance by sophomore Maddie Bacskai, saw the Tigers keep their lead. Baylis made a total of seven saves in the game, a season high so far. This is the first time in over 18 years that the Tigers have won at Maryland.

The Tigers start conference play this weekend against Dartmouth and their next home game will be Sept. 29 against Yale at 6 p.m.

Women’s tennis prepares for Cissie Leary Invitational

By David Xin Head Sports Editor

This Friday, Sept. 22 the women’s tennis team will travel to The University of Pennsylvania for the annual Cissie Leary Invitational. The tournament, which will stretch through the weekend, features a slew of Ivy League rivals including Harvard, Dartmouth, and Columbia.

Last year, the Tigers enjoyed modest success at the tournament. Sivan Krems ‘17 picked up a win on the first day of competition, beating Temple’s Galina Chernykh in a tight match.

Joining her to round out the Princeton squad were Alanna Wolff ‘17, thenjunior Sara Goodwin, and then-sophomore Catalina

Vives.

Each of the Tigers managed to play a singles match at the Invitational. Princeton closed out last season’s competition with two wins from Krems and Vives. Both Krems and Vives defeated their opponents in straight sets. Krems topped Penn’s Luba Vazhenina 6-2, 6-2 as Vives outplayed University of Delaware’s Sarah Hall, 7-6, 6-2 in consolation matches.

Since 1997, the Cissie Leary Invitational has honored Penn coach Cissie Leary, who served the women’s tennis team from 1977 to 1996. Under her leadership, the Quakers managed to compile 229 wins leading to 16 winning seasons.

In 1995, Leary guided Penn to the NCAA East Regional.

Tweet of the Day Nothing beats a visit from a former player. Except when they come out of retirement to play for you again. What do you say @amicker23?!

Courtney Banghart (@ coachbanghart), Women ‘s basketball

Leary passed away in 1996 after a long battle with scleroderma. Since then, Penn has held the Invitational to honor her contributions.

While the season is just starting up, the Invitational should give the Tigers a litmus test as they face some of their toughest Ivy League rivals. This will be the second tournament Princeton has competed in during the 2017 season.

Last week the Princeton squad traveled to Rhode Island to compete in the Hall of Fame ITA Invitational.

Despite being the first match of the season, the Tigers completed the tournament with an exclamation point as they faced tough competition. Indeed, all four of Princeton’s single

matches came against nationally ranked foes.
