Many college students throw away unwanted dorm items at the end of the school year. The EcoReps Move-In Resale changes this culture of waste by selling items that would traditionally be sent to a landfill. The third annual 2019 EcoReps Move-In Resale took place on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Dillon Gym. Over 500 students in attendance bought 2000 items, which diverted 15 tons of waste from landfills. During move-out in the spring, the Ecology Representatives — or EcoReps for short — collect items left for trash outside dorm rooms. The EcoReps team then stores these items over the summer in preparation for the resale. “Through our program, we’re able to keep that item on campus, basically for the summer, and then give it to a
new set of students who have the same need as this group of students before, at a reduced price and at a reduced cost to the environment,” said Tatijana Stewart ‘21, one of three EcoReps leaders in charge of greening move out and resale. While most of the items collected by EcoReps are sold at the resale, other items were given for free to students in the University Freshman Scholars Institute for firstgeneration and low income students in July, or donated to charities such as Goodwill and Grad Bag, an organization that gives items to low-income students to prepare them for college. In order to promote access to items for all, students in the Scholars Institute Fellows Program are given a discount coupon. Every item at the resale — including mirrors, fridges, futons, couches, tables, and chairs — was sold at a discounted rate to students. Lisa Nicolaison, who is
the Engagement and Communication Coordinator at the Office of Sustainability, wrote in an email to The Daily Princetonian that the cost for students is based on the price of a similar item at stores like Target and Amazon. “We take those prices and reduce the price to anywhere between 20-50% depending on the quality of the item – how new it is, the condition of the item, the uniqueness of the item based on our inventory,” she wrote. The EcoReps leaders, in addition to temporarily hired student workers, set up and operated the Resale. The variety of items available for purchase attracted a large amount of students. “We had basically a line out the doors of Dillon Gym before we even opened up the sale and we had a steady stream of people for the first few hours until most of the items were gone,” Stewart said. “Seeing that enormous, See ECOREPS page 2

Creative writing Professor Emeritus Edmund White receives 2019 Letters Medal By Benjamin Ball Head News Editor
Edmund White, creative writing professor emeritus in the Lewis Center for the Arts, will receive the 2019 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from the National Book Foundation. The National Book Foundation’s website describes the award as “one of literature’s most prestigious honors” and explains that the purpose of the award is to recognize “individuals who have made an exceptional impact on this country’s literary heritage.” Writer and filmmaker John Waters will present the award to White at the National Book Awards in November, according to the Office of Communications press release. White began teaching at the University in 1998. The Associated Press described White as “among the most influential gay writers of his time” and described his career as “prolific and versetile.” According to the Office of Communications, White has written nearly 30 books. White’s bio on the Lewis Center for the Arts website notes he is perhaps best known for his biography of French writer Jean Genet, a book for which he won the National Book Critics Circle Award. His other works include an autobiographical trilogy, A Boy’s Own Story, The Beautiful Room is Empty, and The Farewell Symphony; a novel about love in the AIDS era called The Married Man; a biography about the titular French author, Marcel Proust: A Life; a book about unconventional Paris called The Flaneur; and a biography of Arthur Rimbaud. His works of fiction include Chaos and Hotel de

Dream. In addition, he has written four memoirs, including Inside a Pearl: My Life in Paris, published in 2014 and The Unpunished Vice: A Life of Reading, published in 2018. His new novel, A Saint in Texas, is forthcoming in 2020. According to the National Book Foundation, White majored in Chinese at the University of Michigan before moving to New York City, where he would form the Violet Quill, a casual club comprised of himself and six other gay writers: Christopher Cox, Robert Ferro, Michael Grumley, Andrew Holleran, Felice Picano, and George Whitmore. White also co-founded the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, described by the National Book Foundation as “the world’sfirst provider of HIV/AIDS care and advocacy.” The Office of Communications noted that Toni Morrison, the Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities, Emeritus, who died on Aug. 5, received the award in 1996. White and Morrison were colleagues during their time at the University, and White recalled to the Associated Press that the two disagreed about popular culture, with Morrison holding a more favorable opinion while White described himself as “this weird mandarin who never had a television.” Robert Caro ’57 also received the award in 2016. An honorary award will be given to Oren Teicher, head of the American Booksellers Association. In addition, competitive prizes for fiction, nonfiction, translation, poetry and “young people’s literature” will be announced, according to the Associated Press.

enormous line and everyone just looking so excited, it felt very, very rewarding,” Christie Chong ‘20 said, another EcoReps leader involved in planning the Resale. Students interviewed by the ‘Prince’ said they appreciated the opportunity to purchase items at a low cost. “We bought a really good futon, which is high-quality and it was very affordable,” Millie Hernandez ’22 said. “It was all within budget and I’m glad we got to reuse something that was once someone else’s so we didn’t have to spend a ton of money on something that was new.” In total, Nicolaison wrote that the program made $11,400,
all of which will go into next year’s program. “Our goal is not to make a profit, but to break even and cover the costs of operating the program,” she explained. As the numbers demonstrate, the EcoReps Resale was a huge success. The EcoReps team hopes that the Resale demonstrates to students the importance of sustainability. “One of the reasons why I love the Resale and I think it’s so important is because it reminds students at the very beginning of the year that [sustainability] is definitely one of the things that Princeton values a lot,” said Chong. “People can maintain that mindset throughout the year and then they can also get excited and get excited about next year’s resale.”

Bike thefts decrease, but scooter thefts increase REPORT
Continued from page 1
............. far in the academic year, the number of reported bike thefts have decreased, although reports of scooter theft have increased. “The DPS [bike] bait program has led to two arrests, which may be a contributing factor,“ Ominsky wrote. Other reported criminal activities decreased from 2017 to 2018, with zero cases of robbery, aggravated assault, or hate crimes being reported in 2018. The year also featured two reported cases of arson, of which there had been zero reported cases in 2016 or 2017. The Department of Public Safety’s distinction between robbery and burglary, as noted in the report, holds that burglary involves some kind of unlawful entry to commit a felony or theft, while robbery constitutes an individual’s attempt to take anything that does not belong to him or her. Reports of rape stayed fairly constant during the last two years, with 13 reported in 2018, 12 reported in 2017, and 13 reported in 2016. The report also notes that there have been zero reported cases of murder/ non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, and incest in at least the last three years of the report. Also included in the report were statistics regarding fires during the 2018 year, listing five incidents on campus: one in Blair Hall, one in 1901 Hall, one in Dodge-Osborne, one in Yoseloff Hall, and one in the Lawrence Graduate apartments. 2018 saw an increase in fires from the previous year, with one fire in the Lawrence apartments in 2017. In 2016, there were four fires reported, in Holder Hall, Spelman Halls, one in the Lakeside and one in the Lawrence apartments. According to an email sent to the student body, the report “includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred: on campus; in certain offcampus buildings owned or controlled by Princeton University or its students; and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from Princeton University.” The DPS report is nationally mandated by the
The Daily Princetonian
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, which requires colleges and universities that receive federal funding to annually publish statistics on crime at and around their campuses. “The Department of Public Safety (DPS) sends the Princeton University Clery report to every member of the community before Oct. 1 each year, in compliance with federal law,“ Ominsky wrote in his email to the ‘Prince.’ “The report contains valuable information about resources, emergency preparedness, policies and procedures, as well as crime and fire statistics for the campus in 2018.” Not all reported crimes result in charges. The statistics provided by DPS reflect numbers of reported crimes, not the number of charges filed. The report states that the statistics included within the University’s DPS report were collected from public safety officers’ crime reports, which are entered at the time of an incident in the department’s integrated record management system. After a report is created and catalogued in the system, a department administrator reviews the report to check that the crime is correctly classified. The department periodically examines the data to ensure all reported crimes are recorded in accordance with the crime definitions outlined in the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook and, for sex offenses, the FBI National Incident-Based Reporting System Handbook, the report further stated. The report also noted that Public Safety crime statistics do not include reports of sexual assault, harassment, or reports made through confidential resources such as the Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources, and Education office. These reports cannot be investigated by campus police or University officials unless confidential counselors are given permission to share details that would personally identify the victim. Ominsky emphasized DPS’ commitment to serving the campus. “I encourage every member of the community to assist DPS. Community safety is a partnership between the department and the community,“ Ominsky wrote. “The mission of DPS is community care-taking.”

A call for the drastic refurbishment of student housing Khadijah Anwar
Contributing Columnist
While much of Princeton’s charm comes from its beautiful historical architecture, at the heart of the University are interactions between the students on its campus and the incredible buildings that offer them housing and educational spaces. It is important to ensure that as these buildings age, they are renovated to provide adequate housing for the students who live in them. The regular maintenance of interiors and the presence of bathrooms and water fountains near every set of rooms are essential to making living conditions pleasant for students. Moreover, given New Jersey’s weather conditions, students should not have to leave their buildings in the dead of winter to do their laundry or access the closest kitchen. The University should ensure that every building is fully equipped as a self-contained space in which students can feel at home. The University currently fails to achieve this standard across many of its residential spaces, including Wilson College, parts of Rockefeller College, and much of the upperclass-student housing. For example, a few days ago, a post on Facebook’s Tiger Confessions complained about the terrible living conditions in the Rockefeller-Campbell dorms. The user called the hall a “dump,” bringing attention
to the unmaintained furniture, lack of basic amenities (e.g. kitchen, laundry room, adequate study spaces), and poor location of bathrooms in the basements of the building. They contrasted this with halls on campus that not only have high quality versions of all the aforementioned amenities, but are also paired with further entertainment spaces such as pool and foosball tables. Complaints about the roomdraw system at Princeton are not uncommon. However, the lottery is ultimately supposed to be random — whether that is true or not remains a debate for another day. This serves the important purpose of granting low-income students the same access to quality housing as high-income students. Any form of differentiated market pricing of dorms would inevitably result in wealthier students renting out higher-quality, more expensive rooms than lower-income students. However, given the large disparity between the quality of housing on campus, with comparatively luxurious halls such as Bloomberg and Wendell on one hand, and neglected ones such as Campbell and 1937 on the other, we still lack egalitarianism in the quality of life of students across campus. Some students have a significantly tougher living situation than others. Thus, while it is essential to avoid a price-based room allocation system, it is also important to ensure that stu-
dents are receiving fair living conditions, so that all students have an adequate quality of life and access to basic amenities; a refurbishment of existing housing, particularly in north campus and Wilson, should be a pressing concern for University administrators. It is problematic that many students feel like their dorms are so uncomfortable that they are forced to spend most of their day away from their room, which is supposed to serve as a private space for students to unwind. The fact that a large chunk of upperclassstudent housing is called the “slums” is indicative of the dissatisfaction and discomfort that exists among students regarding their housing. The argument that the old architecture cannot support drastic reconstruction or the installation of air-conditioning is an empty claim. Many aged academic buildings have undergone rigorous maintenance — the McCosh 50 lecture hall underwent a $400,000 renovation in 2013 and is once again experiencing a renovation that began this summer. Moreover, while the seminar rooms and Writer’s Studio in Blair Hall are fully air-conditioned, the adjacent residential spaces in Blair lack air conditioning. Hence, there exists a large capacity to renovate many dormitories on campus. While the immediate defense for the institution here would be limitations of funding, it appears
that the issue is not a lack of money, but rather the University’s misplaced priorities, given that a new residential college, Perelman College, is being constructed, in part to account for the increasingly large number of applicants every year. This space will allow Princeton to admit 125 additional students every year. The University, however, has yet to guarantee its existing students an adequate quality of life during their time here. Dedicating funding towards the housing of 125 new students per class neglects the housing needs of the 1,300 current students in each class year, as many students will continue to live in unequipped halls, while other students will get to inhabit even newer spaces in Perelman. This indicates a greater investment in revenue generation through increasing class capacity than in the quality of student life on the part of the University. All in all, more funds need to be directed towards the existing student body to ensure that the University maintains the quality of student life at an adequate level. Princeton needs to uphold its commitment to providing a home to its students during their time here. Khadijah Anwar is a sophomore from Dubai, UAE. She can be reached at kanwar@princeton. edu.

Regrets from freshman year Brigitte Harbers Columnist
So, here we are again. Or, for many of you, for the first time. Summer is officially over, Princeton is hurtling into its fourth week of classes, and tourists are flocking to Blair Arch as a part of the ritualistic tradition of creating an obstacle course for students rushing to class. As a member of Mathey, I learned early on in my first year to allot a five-minute grace period when leaving for my classes, just to avoid getting caught in a mob or — God forbid — getting asked to take a photo of a visiting family. But becoming aware of these small Princeton quirks wasn’t the only thing I learned from my first year. Rather, it was a year of learning through mistakes and adjusting expectations of my abilities. Thus, my gift as a wizened sophomore to you, class of 2023, are my top five regrets from last year. #1: Poor time management Right off the bat, I would say my biggest regret is having poor time management. Coming to Princeton, I didn’t realize the heftier length of politics reading assignments or the difficulty of chemistry problem sets as compared to high school. Some assignments that I expected to take an hour instead took three or four. I would misjudge how much time I needed to put aside and ended up doing work until 3 a.m. Additionally, I constantly felt a need to be with friends or to go out. Even when I knew I had an obscene amount of work to get done, I would prioritize my
social life because I was worried about missing out on fun and friendship. Sure, I have a lot of great memories of doing exactly that last year, but at the end of the day, my GPA suffered. So, make sure to remember why you’re here at Princeton: to get a really incredible education. Your friends will still be there when you’re finished studying, and there’ll always be another night on the Street. #2: Not taking advantage of office hours If you’re at Princeton, you’re obviously capable and smart. So, why would you need to go to office hours? That was my attitude for a lot of my first semester. I believed that if I was confused in a class or was struggling, I could just put in a little more effort by reading the textbook or going over notes in order to finally understand it. Unfortunately, at Princeton, it doesn’t quite work like that. The level of understanding professors require from their students really does necessitate that students seek out help when there is any sort of confusion. Office hours are essential to just that. I finally realized how helpful office hours are at the end of the semester and made a pact with myself that I would attend office hours during the spring, even if I didn’t have a serious question. I wanted to make sure that I would not only be surviving but excelling in class. Obviously, dedicating multiple hours a week to go to office hours can be a timesink, but at the end of the day, you’re much more likely to do well in class if you take the time and seek out your preceptors and professors. Even
if you don’t need help, they can be great resources as you begin to think about your path here at Princeton. Take advantage of the expertise and passion our instructors have for the classes they teach. You’ll be glad you did, and you might have an A at the end of it all. #3: Feeling discouraged at every “bad” result. Ok, I’m sure you’re rolling your eyes right now. I mean, how could you not feel discouraged when getting back an assignment, quiz, or exam here at Princeton and seeing a nonperfect score? That was definitely how I felt when I picked up my first serious graded assignment and was shocked to see a concerning percentage. It was easy for me to not only experience imposter syndrome but also to become increasingly anxious about any sort of evaluation, whether it be an essay or an exam. At the time, I got caught in the vicious cycle of doing poorly on an assignment, feeling bad for myself, not being motivated to prepare adequately for the next assignment, and doing poorly again. Looking back at it all, I now know that by allowing myself to spiral essentially created an attitude that I didn’t belong at Princeton, and that I had peaked intellectually in high school. I should have seen these “failures” as learning opportunities. Of course, it is completely appropriate to give yourself a minute to be disappointed, but then it’s important to view it as a informative glimpse into your weaknesses as a student in that class. The only outcome then is focusing on addressing
those weaknesses and making sure you become a more wellrounded person. As easy as it might be, try not to blame yourself or convince yourself that you aren’t as smart as you once thought. Take a deep breath, watch some Netflix, and create a game plan for doing better next time. #4: Missing out on programming like guest lectures, special events, and shows. One of the best things about Princeton is the variety of events it puts on. From speakers to movie nights to concerts, there’s always something unique and interesting on campus. Unfortunately, I only really got to experience that side of Princeton at the end of my first year, when I went to the end of year showcase for one of my friend’s dance groups. I couldn’t believe the energy throughout the theater and how much fun both the audience and the dancers were having. Up until that point, I never really considered going to those sorts of events. In my mind, they were always “oh, well if I have the time” experiences. Afterwards, I was hooked. I went to a variety of shows, some because they involved my friends, others simply because I was fascinated by the level of talent all of these groups displayed. The same goes for speakers that Princeton invites, as well as special events, such as Undergraduate Student Government (USG) movie nights. Sometimes it’s nice to step out of the usual routine of a student and get to hear a talk by someone like Alice Walker or to go to a movie with your Zee group just out on Nassau Street. The caliber of
programming Princeton presents is exceptional, and it would be a shame not to experience it. You’ll be glad you did. #5 (And by far my biggest regret): Wearing white shoes to the Street. I can’t emphasize this enough. Don’t do it. I remember my first weekend at Princeton happened to be Frosh Weekend — something of a legend now to first years, and I give my sincerest apologies on behalf of the class of 2022 — and I decided to wear my white canvas platform sneakers to the Street. My only concern was to make sure I would feel comfortable enough to dance and walk, and of course, have a cute pair of shoes to complement my outfit. Little did I know that would be the last night those shoes would be presentable. When I looked at them in the light the next day, my once white sneakers were gray. They never were white again, and I eventually turned them into my Street shoes for the year. So, unless you want your new pair of white Air Force 1s to be massacred during a night out at Tiger Inn, I recommend using a pair of shoes you would be happy to discard at the end of the school year. There you have it. My top five regrets from my first year. They may seem pretty straightforward, but trust me, they’re important to pay attention to, and I believe are essential to your success at Princeton. Yes, even number five.

Women’s golf finishes second at Princeton Invitational By Owen Tedford Senior Staff Writer
This past weekend, the women’s golf team hosted their first and only home tournament of the season, the Princeton Invitational, at Springdale Golf Club. Princeton finished in second place with a score of 582, trailing Seton Hall by seven strokes cumulatively over 36 holes. The Tigers’ leading scorer was freshman Grace Ni, who was -3 over the two days, shooting even par at 72 on Saturday and three-under 69 on Sunday. This was Ni’s second tournament at Princeton and her second tournament as the Tigers’ leading scorer. Senior co-captain Maya Walton also had a top-five finish at even par after being two-under par on Saturday and then two-over par on Sunday. On Saturday, Princeton started well with Walton’s two-under par and Ni’s even par. Sophomore Sophie Siminoff was one-over par, but she was playing as an individual in the tournament. After the first day of the tournament, the Tigers found themselves in third place, one stroke behind Penn and nine strokes be-

hind Seton Hall. This weekend’s tournament included all of the other Ivy League teams and a few other local rivals. Sunday, feeling inspired to play for their seniors on
Senior Day, Princeton came out and finished strong shooting the lowest team score on the day. Unfortunately, it was not enough to overcome Seton Hall’s lead from the first day. Along
with Ni, the Tigers’ other first-year, Tiffany Kong, looked extremely poised, shooting an even-par 72 and improving three strokes on her 75 from Saturday. Commenting on senior
day, Walton said, “I know all of the seniors feel so grateful to have been a part of this program and to have had the opportunity to represent Princeton for the past three years. Our 2nd place finish as a team this weekend has us super excited for the rest of the year and to hopefully win our 3rd Ivy League Championship in the spring.” Walton added, “Playing at home and having all our friends come out and support us was really special. We only have one home tournament, so our friends don’t get the chance to see us play often. Seeing them all out this weekend pumped us all up and set the tone for a great weekend.” Next week, Princeton will close out its fall season with a three-day weekend tournament at the Yale Invitational in New Haven, held at The Course at Yale. The Tigers hope to finish their fall season strong there with another top-five team finish and more strong individual performances. Tee times will be available later in the week and live results will be available on Golfstat.
WOMEN’S SOCCER
Women’s soccer falls to Yale in Ivy League opener By Tom Salotti Associate Sports Editor
Last Saturday, in their first game of Ivy League play this season, women’s soccer was defeated by Yale 1—0 at Roberts Stadium in Princeton. After Yale scored in the 17th minute, the Tigers could not come back, resulting in a critical loss early in the season. The Bulldogs put the pressure on Princeton right from the beginning of the game, with two shots in the first four minutes and two corner kicks before the 10 minute mark. A shot from Yale’s Noelle Higginson went high but was followed up a minute later by Bulldog Aerial Chavarin who found the back of the net with a shot across the goal box, bringing the team up 1—0. Princeton got their first shot of the game in the 22nd minute from freshman defender Madison Curry, but the would-be goal was saved by Yale’s keeper, Alyssa Fagel. The Tigers’ second shot came around 10 minutes later from junior midfielder Olivia Kane, who headed the ball toward goal, but it went wide. Curry had another shot on target two minutes later, which Fagel once again blocked. The team had three more shots on goal before the first half ended. The first 45 minutes saw six fouls from Princeton and seven fouls and two yellow cards from Yale. In the second half, Princeton pushed for a comeback, which never materialized.

past two seasons, can likely only afford one loss this season to still be competitive for the conference title, meaning that another defeat would all but end their hopes for a three-peat.
