U. students receive emails from white supremacist group

By Kirsten Traudt Contributor

An undetermined number of niversity students received a pro-Donald Trump email from a probable member of a white supremacy group named “White GeNOcide Project” the afternoon of Oct. 8.

The email, which had the subject line “Vote against ‘NO CHILD LEFT WHITE’- Vote Trump!” was sent from a nonUniversity email address by an individual using the name “John Albert Willis.” The email was addressed to the University community, stating that “Princeton teaches its White students that they are immoral and contemptible if they don’t support White

Genocide,” among similar remarks.

The email additionally read that “Princeton professors say they’re anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.” Furthermore, the email stated that Donald Trump understands the threat to white people posed by diversity.

University Assistant Vice President for Communications Daniel Day remarked that the University was not initially aware of this email at time of interview.

Day noted later that “the email, expressing views contrary to University values, was sent to an undetermined number of people on our campus and apparently to other campuses.”

He added that University

officials are looking into the matter.

In a statement released by the University on Oct. 9, Vice Provost of Diversity and Inclusion Michele Minter stated that, “The University deplores these revolting messages, which are contrary to our values and our code of conduct.”

She added that, “We will not allow these hateful actions to undermine our commitment to creating an inclusive and harassment-free community on campus.”

The individuals who received the email include members of the Princeton University Latinx Perspectives Organization, among others.

The University reported that the endowment earned a 0.8 percent investment gain for the 2016 fiscal year, with the endowment standing at $22.2 billion.

This is a decrease of about $570 million, or 2.6 percent, from its value at the end of FY 2015.

The decline in the overall value of the endowment is due to withdrawals to cover operating budget costs, according to Provost David Lee GS ’99.

On average, the endowment receives a 8.2 percent return annually, putting the University in the top percentile of its peer

Reactions to LGBT center launches USG discusses dining new photo campaign options, residental colleges the second

By Allie Spensley Contributor

The LGBT Center launched a major poster campaign presenting portraits and quotes from students about their experiences being LGBTQIA on campus.

The campaign, which began on Oct. 3, seeks to increase the visibility of the LGBT Center and encourage students to get involved with events such as educational programs, lectures, community building, and student groups, according to Judy Jarvis, LGBT Center director.

Jarvis added that by showcasing the words and faces of real students, the posters are also meant to elevate voices in the LGBTQIA community.

“I think sometimes it can feel inevitable to students to have identity centers on campus, since for current students

they’ve all been here since you’ve arrived, but we can’t take this work for granted. We can’t take the importance of community building around different identities for granted,” Jarvis said.

Jarvis explained that the campaign is in part to make sure people know the kind of resources available to them and also to remind people that there are LGBTQIA students and employees in every building on campus.

“It’s a reminder to come to our events, but also a reminder that LGBTQIA people are here and that it’s really important that we are here,” she said.

Angela Xu ’17, whose quote was featured on many of the posters, said that one goal of the campaign is to spread awareness of the queer community.

The Undergraduate Student Government met with Executive Director of Campus Dining Smitha Haneef and Dean of Rockefeller College Oliver Avens to discuss dining plan options in their meeting on Sunday.

Haneef and Avens are cochairs of the Board Plan Review Committee, which is dedicated to creating options that meet the needs of a diverse student body. The committee is currently focused on gathering student input on dining options through a series of focus groups meetings that will be conducted later in the month.

Avens explained that the committee’s goal was “to understand how and where people make their choices about where they are going to eat on campus, and to think about whether our current meal plans are optimal

for students of all years.”

This review of the University’s dining environment is the first since 2005, when a similar initiative was conducted in preparation for the 2007 residential college expansion. These new dining initiatives come in tandem with the changes outlined in the 2026 Campus Plan, which primarily includes the addition of a seventh residential college.

Avens also explained their relation to upcoming changes to the residential college system.

“All the residential colleges will become versions of fouryear colleges. That is to say that upperclassmen of some number will be able to continue living in their colleges,” he said. “We recognize that a lot of what [the committee] is doing intersects with housing choices. Our own charge is not to create housing policy. It is to create recommendations on the dining side that might then be drivers for thinkSee USG page 5

presidential debate

By Samuel Oh Contributor

University students and community students gathered in the Whig Senate Hall Sunday evening to watch the second of three debates of the 2016 presidential race.

Democratic nominee Secretary Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump debated issues such as maturity in personal behavior and judgment, the crisis in Syria, domestic taxes, and energy policy. The candidates debated in a Town Hall format, where the candidates debated issues and points of inquiry raised by members in the audience.

While the debate revolved around issues critical to the policies of the next President of the See DEBATE page 4

financial aid and full access for any student who is admitted, regardless of ability to pay and without the need for students to take out loans,” Lee said in a University release.

The endowment is used to budget about half of the University, according to Golden, who said he feels proud and compelled to be able to make the University affordable through financial aid.

“Even students who are not on financial aid are getting a pricesubsidized product,” he added.

“The endowment enables us to spend about twice as much on every student as what they pay in tuition.”

Earlier this year, the University’s Board of Trustees approved a $147.4 million increase in the operating budget to cover increased undergraduate financial aid.

Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard all reported investment losses this year. Harvard, which has the largest endowment, posted a two percent annual investment loss, which, in addition to spending, cost the university $1.9 billion. The only other Ivy League school to report a positive investment return this year is Yale, which saw a gain of 3.4 percent.

News & Notes: College Republicans maintain neutrality position on Trump The Princeton College Republicans will be maintaining their earlier position of neutrality on Donald J. Trump’s candidacy, according to College Republican president Paul Draper ’18.

The decision came as a result of deliberations between group officers.

Following the Republican nominee’s lewd comments about women that appeared in a leaked video on Friday, many prominent GOP leaders have withdrawn their endorsement of Trump. Among them include former presidential nominee John McCain. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan also disinvited the vice presidential nominee Mike Pence from attending a rally in Wisconsin.

The National Chair of College Republicans, Alex Smith, also noted on her Twitter account that she is not supporting Trump after the video release on Friday.

“The Party of Lincoln is not a locker room, and there is no place for people who think it is. Definitely not with her, but not with him,” Smith tweeted.

Various College Republican chapters have also begun to consider walking away from the party’s nominee. Notably, the University of Virginia College Republicans noted on their Facebook page that they will hold a vote on whether to withdraw support.

In a statement released to the ‘Prince’ when the Princeton College Republicans first de-

cided to not take a position on the presidential nominee, the group noted that “individual voters can and should determine for their own purposes if any given candidate (for President, Congress, or any other office) sufficiently supports those policies and is therefore worthy of their vote.”

Princeton ranks last among Ivies in terms of Tinder prowess The University ranked last among all Ivy League institutions in the total number of monthly Tinder matches, according to research published

by Tinder.

Tinder is a social, mobile application that allows users to “swipe right” on individuals they find attractive, and “swipe left” on individuals they don’t.

In other categories, including “Most Swiped Right Schools,” “Monthly Social Groups,” and “Monthly Super Likes,” the University ranked sixth, seventh, and sixth, respectively.

The University of Pennsylvania ranked first in terms of “most swiped-right schools,” while Columbia earned the top spot in “most monthly matches.”

The University, although ranked highest on the U.S. News and World Report rankings of best universities, was ranked last for “most swipedright schools,” along with Harvard and Yale.

The feature that added educational information on Tinder user profiles began in November 2015.

identical to a template found on the White GeNOcide website designed to lobby for a “Department of White Genocide Studies.” The sample email, like the one sent to PULPO, is signed “Educators and Students Against White Genocide,” includes phrases such as “Asia for the Asians, African for the Africans, White countries for EVERYBODY?” and “Massive immigration and forced assimilation is genocide when it’s done to Tibetans in Tibet.

When it’s done to Whites in White countries, it’s called ‘diversity’.”

Other phrases in the email, such as “Diversity is code for White genocide,” are also included in a list of “repeater phrases,” which the group encourages white supremacists to post on social media. The website appears to encourage emails such as the one sent to University students, providing information on how to mask IP addresses or write anonymously online.

A representative of the organization, identifying himself as Steve Goode, stated that the White GeNOcide Project is unaware of who sent the emails, as they are a grassroots movement, but he does “agree with whoever sent them and thank[s] them for their activism.”

He added that that [“Anti-Whites”] hate us telling people about White Genocide because we are holding them responsible.” “[Anti-whites] simply say it’s ‘hate speech’ and that we should be banned from saying it,” Goode said. “But if hate speech means anything you don’t like, then surely they mean speech that they hate?”

Another individual involved with the White GeNOcide Project, using the name “jenniferearlybyrd” contacted the ‘Prince’ via email, saying that they “ask the students and faculty only two things: Does the White race have the right to survive?

Does the White race have the

right to even say it has the right to survive?”

While the email sent to PULPO was initially put out on the organization’s listserv, other University students individually received emails from other senders.

Forbes College resident Jamie O’Leary ’19 explained that she had received the same email from a “Jim Trenton,” but thought nothing of it until another Forbes resident forwarded a copy, sent by a “George R. Johnson,” to the college’s listserv, asking if others had received a similar message.

O’Leary is unsure whether only Forbes residents received the email, but noted that her roommate, who is not white, did not receive it.

Although it is unclear why the email was sent on Saturday, or why PULPO and specific University students were targeted, a post on the White GeNOcide Project website dated Sept. 22 appealed to members of the Harvard, Princeton, and Yale communities “opposed to White Genocide,” providing a link to the template used by “Willis,” “Trenton,” and “Johnson.”

Harvard students also reported receiving similar emails last week.

It is currently unclear how the attackers obtained the email addresses of students.

In March, a hacker affiliated with another white supremacist organization — the Daily Stormer — bypassed the University printer system to release anti-Semitic fliers on campus. The editor of the Daily Stormer, Andrew Anglin, alleged during an interview with the ‘Prince’ that there is currently a white supremacist student organization on campus.

Anglin did not respond to an inquiry of whether this student organization is responsible for the emails as of press time.

The Department of Public Safety and the Office of Information Technology are currently investigating the incident, according to the University release.

“We’re showing students that LGBT students are regular people,” Xu said.

“The campaign gives visibility to the Center and to the fact that people you know may be LGBT,” said William Keiser ’19, whose quote and portrait were also featured.

The posters were created in conjunction with Isometric Studios, a New York Citybased graphic design consultancy run by Andy Chen ’09 and Waqas Jawaid ’10, who were themselves active with the center as students. In addition to its work with the LGBT Center’s poster campaign and website, Isometric Studios has also created designs for the Carly A. Fields Center and the Women’s Center.

In order to design and implement the campaign, Chen and Jawaid visited campus

to take portraits and gather quotes.

“There were a lot of students willing to be involved, which I think says a lot about students here and their confidence and willingness to be out in the open in front of others,” Jarvis said.

“The pictures were taken last spring. We were interviewed about the climate surrounding the queer community on campus,” Jean Bellamy ’19 said.

Bellamy said that she thought the posters turned out beautifully, but wished that a more diverse set of people had participated in the photoshoot.

Ultimately, the campaign presents ten portraits and ten quotes, each varied in terms of content: positive experiences, negative experiences, and observations of campus climate.

The quotes are set on a colorgradient background that is an extension of the design of the

LGBT Center’s website.

Lily Gellman ’17 is another student whose portrait was used in the campaign.

“We really wanted a Center that was warm and welcoming in all these different respects, and one of the ways to do that was to take pictures of real students who actually go here and spend time in the center,” Gellman said. “You don’t have to have been involved with the center to be a part of the photo campaign, you just need to be comfortable having your photo taken to make the website more friendly and by extension the space more friendly.”

The poster campaign will culminate with the LGBT Center’s tenth anniversary celebration on Friday, Oct. 14th, featuring storytelling from five LGBTQIA alumni in McCormick 101 and a reception afterwards at the LGBT Center in Frist Campus Center.

Freeman: I’m watching to see what Trump says next DEBATE

Continued from page 1

.............

United States, both candidates focused on trading massive waves of insults, pokes, and jabs far different from the rather restrained atmosphere of the first debate.

Josh Freeman ’18 said he was not surprised by the amount of harsh words thrown by both candidates.

“The candidates were using the same rhetoric that they have been using for weeks going on months now.”

“I feel like I’m not really watching debates for their substance but I’m watching to see what Donald Trump says next,” Freeman added.

When an audience member brought up an inquiry regarding the maturity of both candidates with regards to the presidential office, Trump did not hesitate to jab at Clinton’s personal life, mentioning Bill Clinton and his relationships with women while defending his own comments about women.

“This is locker room talk, you know? No one has more respect for women than I do,” Trump said.

“No one who was more abusive to women in politics than Bill Clinton.”

Trump went further to vow that he would hire a special prosecutor to try Clinton for her role in controversial email scandals in 2015, claiming that Clinton would not be able to speak against him because “she’ll be in jail.”

Clinton responded by observing “when they go low, you go high,” and proceeded to belittle Trump as “lost in his own reality.”

Both candidates continued to throw insults at each other as the topics of issues shifted. Trump claimed that Clinton was static and careless in her 30 years as a politician. Clinton observed that Trump was delusional and lacked any cohesive policy.

The debate moved on to the crises in the Middle East, where the candidates disagreed on the best strategies to take down the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The candidates also dabbled in their differing policies to immigration specifically to Muslim refugees fleeing from war-torn areas.

Trump took a firm stance, saying that Clinton and other politicians were afraid to identify the problem as it really was. “You’re going to, whether you like it or not, have to say the name: Radical Islamic Terror.”

Hillary responded by noting that the United States was fighting radical individuals, not with an ideology or belief. “We are not at war with Islam. I want to create a country where you and your family feel welcome,” Clinton

said. Clinton also added that she, too, supported extreme vetting to prevent potentially dangerous individuals from entering the United States.

The debate moved on to center around both candidates’ differences in energy policy. Trump observed that foreign powers, especially China, flood American markets with cheap raw materials, taking away companies and jobs. I will bring our energy companies back. They will bring jobs back; they will pay off our debt.

We have to guard our energy,” Trump said.

Trump went further to advocate a return to investment in coal energies, a resource that, as Trump noted, “made us rich and is plentiful under our feet.”

Clinton, after observing Trump’s lack of any energy plan, stated that she had a comprehensive energy policy citing the need to “reach out to new energies, renewable energies, become the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.”

The debate closed with both candidates mentioning one facet that they respected in the other.

Clinton said she respected the way in which Trump’s children were raised and have grown. Trump noted that he admired Hillary’s fighting spirit and “her unwillingness to give up, even if I disagree with almost everything she believes in.”

University viewers expressed the sheer tenacity in which both candidates traded blows and insults during the debate. “I guess none of this is surprising but I think Secretary Clinton got bogged down and her behavior,” Shakthi Shrima ’19 said. “She seemed more frustrated, more willing to interrupt, and break rules in a way Trump was used to doing. They did not really answer the questions given to them and were more willing to hit each other.”

Bhadrajee Hewage ’20 swiftly agreed noting how desperate both candidates were getting in their arguments and veiled punches. “I think it was a more insightful debate than the last one. I think they both really went at it … they really showed that everything really was at stake.”

Saad Malik ’20 interpreted the actions of both candidates in a different light, observing that the debate showed Trump and Clinton’s true colors, noting, “I found that [the debate] ended on a note that made both the candidates human.”

The debate viewing was sponsored by Whig-Clio. The third and final presidential debate is to be held in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Wednesday, Oct 19th.

ing about dining policies.”

Several USG members commented on the potential dining and residential college changes.

Andrew Ma ’19, Class of 2019 senator, expressed his concerns that changing all residential colleges to four-year living spaces might further dilute upperclassmen dining groups.

“One of the main reservations upperclassmen students have about choosing to stay on the residential college system is that there are predominantly underclassmen in the dining halls. If you make all residential colleges four-years, the number of upperclassmen per college will go down even further,” Ma said.

In response, Avens said that a potential solution would be establishing a critical mass of upperclassmen associated with their residential colleges.

“The thinking is to create communities of upperclassmen,” said Avens.

Jenny Zhang ’18, University Student Life Committees chair, asked about the possibility of adding co-op spaces into the residential colleges as a means of introducing the idea of co-ops to underclassmen.

“Right now undergrads have dining, but they see [eating clubs] as the way to go for future dining,” she said.

“One of the considerations is the living-learning communities. Right now we have two of them, and that is a model. We are looking at expanded livinglearning opportunities,” Haneef said in response.

Avens also noted that the committee is targeting independent and co-op students.

“We are interested in why they chose not to take the meal plan, and whether we might be offering better options for that

group in particular,” Avens said.

The meeting concluded with the introduction to the new members of the student government.

The USG voted in two new UCouncillors, Devin Kilpatrick ’19 and Olivia Grah ’19. The Communications Committee also added three new members: Social Media Chair Katherine Wang ’20, Website Manager Grace Guan ’20, and Public Engagement Chair Alison Shin ’19.

U-Councillor Pooja Patel ’18 commented on the interview process, stating that successful candidates presented unique perspectives on campus issues and creative solutions to improving USG’s perception and transparency across campus.

USG President Aleksandra Czulak ’17 noted the large number of applicants for the U-Councillor position, stating that the USG received 19 applications for only two available slots. She added that she hoped that more students would alternatively consider running for electable positions in the future.

Eli Schechner ’18, Class of 2018 senator, presented the schedule for the upcoming USG elections.

“We avoided having key parts of the cycle, such as petitioning and campaigning, occur over break,” Schechner said.

The updated schedule places the USG Senate election from Monday, Dec. 5 to Wednesday, Dec. 7.

Zhang presented the results of her meeting with Coordinator of Recreational Programming Kara Nitti. The discussed agenda involved a free fitness schedule, including free Saturday classes at the fitness center.

Zhang also stated that the USLC hopes to develop a relationship with independent and co-op students.

Reducing food waste creatively

unning Princeton’s dining halls, which provide food to thousands of students every single day, is a mammoth operation. The dining hall staff and student employees work tirelessly to prepare diverse and healthy food options at each dining unit. At the same time, because it is understandably impossible to predict exactly how many students will eat at a particular dining hall at a given meal, some food is wasted in the dining halls each day. The Board proposes a program that we see as a win-win: cutting down on food waste by providing leftovers to those without meal plans.

Independent students opt out of a meal plan for many different reasons and feed themselves in many different ways. A popular resource among independent students is the Free Food listserv, where leftovers from campus events are advertised to those who are interested; this reduces cleanup and waste, and is much appreciated by independents, who accept the food on an as-is basis.

The Board proposes that dining halls supply independent students with leftovers using the following scheme: for the last five minutes of dinner, the dining halls will be open to any Princeton student, regardless of meal plan. Food that can be served again will be put away, and no new food will be put out, so, in these last five minutes, only food that would otherwise go to waste will be provided. Independent students can take advantage of this on an as-is basis, and get a quick bite to eat between 7:55 p.m. and whenever the dining hall staff begin asking students to leave, usually around 8:10 p.m.

One counterargument to this proposal is that it would incentivize becoming independent and so start becoming a drain on the dining unit’s resources. However, the bulk of dining hall contracts are held by underclassmen, who are not eligible to be independent.

Additionally, this program is primarily a way of reducing waste, and is not comparable to a meal plan — independents would have an extremely limited time frame to get food, and very limited op-

vol. cxl

tions. Due to these inconveniences, we believe that the number of students who would drop an eating club plan to subsist off of this food source is quite small. This is especially true given that people join eating clubs for many reasons other than the food.

That said, we acknowledge the logistical difficulties of implementing this plan, and so we suggest that this program be begun on an experimental basis. For example, dining halls could have one or two “Independent Nights” per week where this plan is implemented. If it does not cause an undue burden on the dining staff and does not seriously impact the experience of meal plan holders, we propose that it be expanded to other nights during the week and possibly lunches as well. This trial period will allow unforeseen logistical issues to be resolved. For example, if it turns out that an unmanageable number of independent students flow into the dining hall at the end of dinner, a weekly cap of such meals could be imposed on independents, enforced by a prox swipe.

The dining halls do a great job of feeding the majority of Princeton students. That said, we believe that food waste carries an environmental and ethical impact. Our plan would reduce some of this waste and provide an extra food source for independents. We envision a successful mutualistic relationship, one in which independent students acknowledge the favor the dining halls are doing them and do not abuse the system. We hope that with this plan, Princeton can become a more environmentally friendly place, while also serving its students in the best manner possible.

A

nal. Orgasm. G-spot. Recently, you may have seen these bright posters spring up on campus, advertising events hosted by the Women’s Center.

One of the highlights of this week was the guest lecture series by Ellen Heed, who spoke on three consecutive days about self-pleasure, human genitalia, and “all of life’s erotic possibilities.” Sexual pleasure is often a stigmatized topic of conversation, and on many levels Princeton students aren’t comfortable openly discussing what constitutes good and bad sex. These events provided an excellent opportunity to reflect on this.

There is a coherent view of human sexuality underlying this week’s programming. It seeks to throw off the inherited shackles of a repressive sexual culture that often demonizes female pleasure and enforces old-fashioned norms like monogamy, heterosexuality, and prohibitions on premarital sex. It encourages people to be comfortable with their own bodies, unashamed to explore new possibilities for pleasure and self-discovery.

It seeks the goods of communication and respecting boundaries in relationships, to keep sexual relationships positive, pleasurable, and consensual.

This is certainly one view of sexuality, one that I respect. It has many qualities that to some would seem positive, to others negative. In this framework, nonconsensual sex is obviously completely illicit, but as long as sexual activity is consensual, the options are limitless. Restraint makes sense only in the context

I do not want to look at another person’s boundaries as merely the limits to my curiosity. I do not want to separate my sexuality from a calling to parenthood. I do not want to take easy, no-strings-attached delight in what for all of human history has been the coming together of humanity’s greatest creative force — the capacity to bring new life into the world. It is difficult, but I want to train myself to look into a person’s eyes and see the human being on the other side, not the reflection of my own eyes, my own desires.

Especially relevant to this week’s theme of self-pleasure, I want to reject the inward turn, the notion of ultimate self-reliance and the illusion of sexual pleasure as a proxy for fulfillment. I acknowledge that I do not have all the answers and that there are many more visions of sex than the two I’ve laid out here, but I want to keep pursuing the truth. To that end, I encourage you all to join the discussions about love and sex, not only for one week, but every week.

with tackle inside the Duke circle that set up the team’s best scoring opportunity of the overtime period. Chillano hit the ball into the top left corner to tally her second overtime game winner of the season.

Like Friday night though, Orange and Black played a strong first half, holding the edge in shots and corners during the first 35 minutes of play. However, Duke capitalized on a lone corner opportunity toward the end of the half. Chillano fired her ninth goal of the season on assists by freshman Margaux Paolino and junior Ashley Kristen.

Princeton followed up with

a goal, but it was disallowed on account of dangerous play.

The Tigers put a point on the scoreboard though on their next trip up the field when sophomore striker Sophia Tornetta recovered a rebound and put it back to tie the game in the 54th minute of play. The Blue Devils looked to respond quickly, but failed with backto-back unsuccessful attempts at the cage. The match went into overtime, where a foul in the circle prompted Chillano’s game-winning penalty shot.

Orange and Black’s schedule continues next Saturday against Brown at Bedford Field at noon and then against Towsend at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Both battles can be watched at Bedford Field or followed online at the Ivy League Digital Network.

tacked on another field goal to stretch their lead to 17. From then on out, the Hoyas never quite threatened, adding on a final field goal in the game’s closing minutes, but finally falling, 31-17.

The game was a revelation for Lovett, who proved his worth as an integral component of the Tigers’ multi-dimensional offense.

Also contributing to Princeton’s attack this game were senior quarterback Chad Kanoff, who went 18 for 37 and amassed 168 passing yards, and sophomore running back Charles Volker,

who lead the Tigers in rushing with 88 yards on the ground.

Together, these individuals look to continue overwhelming defenses throughout the season.

With the victory over Georgetown, the Tigers complete nonconference play and now look forward to the heart of their season. Princeton will face off against the remaining six teams in the Ivy League in the coming weeks, beginning with Brown on Oct. 15 and continuing against Harvard the following week. The Tigers have already routed Columbia, 48-13, and will hope for similar success against these perennial rivals in the coming days.

Football takes care of Georgetown, prepares for Ivy League competition

By Nolan Liu Associate Sports Editor

Junior quarterback John Lovett rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another as the Princeton Tigers (3-1, 1-0 Ivy) rolled over Georgetown (3-2, 2-1 at home), 31-17.

Though Princeton would come out on top, Georgetown was the first on the scoreboard.

The Hoyas blocked a field goal midway through the first quarter and returned it 51 yards to go up 7-0. However, the Tigers responded almost immediately, with Lovett engineering a long drive and punching into the end zone to tie the game.

After the Hoyas failed to answer on their ensuing drive, Lovett struck again. Georgetown had no answer for the Tigers’ attack, and the junior quarterback had a five-yard run into the end zone that put Princeton

up 14-7 to close out the half.

The Tigers picked up right where they left off to open the third quarter, putting together another scoring drive that culminated with Lovett tossing a pass to sophomore tight end Graham Adomitis for the latter’s first career touchdown at Princeton. However, Georgetown quickly responded with a touchdown of their own, cutting the Tigers’ lead back to seven. Both teams failed to penetrate each other’s defenses for the remainder of the quarter, leaving the score at 21-14 as the final period of play began.

At the outset of the fourth quarter, Lovett came through one final time for the Tigers, leading his fourth scoring drive and scoring a third rushing touchdown that gave Princeton a 28-14 advantage. Less than three minutes later, the Tigers See FOOTBALL page 7

Field Hockey beats Columiba, falls to Duke

Save an OT goal, the Tigesr nearly took down powerhouse Duke.

The No. 12 Princeton Women’s Field Hockey team (7-5 overall, 3-0 Ivy) shut out the Columbia Lions (6-5, 1-2) with a victory under the lights in New York on Friday. The loss was Columbia’s first on its home turf this season and marked the end of its threegame winning streak. The last time the Lions and Tigers faced one another, Princeton had the final word in an overtime thriller. Columbia held a 3-2 lead with just under four minutes to go, but current sophomore back Nicole Catalino scored twice to clutch the win for Orange and Black. Last

year’s nail-biting victory was a much more exciting match for spectators, but this year’s domination certainly wasn’t upsetting any Princeton fans either. The Tigers began with great momentum right from the start, with three quick goals in the first half. Just five minutes into the game, Junior striker Ryan McCarthy tallied her eighth goal of the year with some terrific stickhandling and a shot to the far post.

Senior back Hailey Reeves proceeded to give the Tigers a twogoal lead five minutes later off of a redirection. Finally, with a little less than four minutes left in the first half, senior midfielder Cat Caro pushed the gap to 3-0. Caro contin-

ued to dominate in the second half with a goal less than a minute into it and two more in the 42nd and 65th minutes.

On Sunday, the team was back in the Orange Bubble on Bedford Field to match up against No. 2 Duke (11-2, 3-1).

After dropping their first unsuccessful ACC battle of the season Friday at Syracuse, the Blue Devils were hungry for a win. While Sunday’s game was a thriller, the Tigers unfortunately didn’t achieve the same success as Friday night.

Duke junior back Alyssa Chillano put away a penalty stroke in the 79th minute to get the win for her team in overtime.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Women’s Soccer slips to Brown, looks to improve this week

By Miranda Hasty staff writer

The women’s soccer team suffered another disappointing blow in Iv y League play last Saturday, outscored 2-1 by Brown.

The Bears scored the first goal of the match in the tenth minute after freshman goalkeeper Natalie Grossi came out of the goal to defend an offensive attack. Brown’s Jennifer Caruso proceeded to slam in a rebound off Grossi’s defense to put the Bears up on the scoreboard.

An equalizer came in the 55th minute for the Tigers.

Sophomore forward Mimi Asom capitalized on a controlled volley from freshman forward Abby Givens taken from senior captain Jesse McDonough’s corner kick. The sophomore forward skillfully finished Givens’ touch among several defenders to make the game 1-1 and score her fifth goal of the season.

The game was a competitive one. Princeton led in 14-8 in shots and 8-5 in shots on goal. The Bears, however, were able to finish a corner kick that Princeton didn’t defend successfully. Grossi blocked the first shot from Amanda Lane, but Brown won the scramble when Celia Story knocked in the rebound with less than three minutes to the final whistle to secure her team a 2-1 victory.

The difficult match-up was not unanticipated.

“Brown is exceptionally improved,” Head Coach Sean Driscoll remarked in the beginning of the fall season.

“They haven’t lost this year and they have a new coach.

They have a lot of life to them. I like the way they’re playing.”

The team now sits at a 9-2-1 seasonal record and 1-1-1 Ivy record, while Brown respectively now stands at 6-2-3 and 2-1.

The loss ended not only a 302-minute home shutout

streak but also an eightgame undefeated Ivy League streak. The game also marked not only Brown’s first win in Princeton since 2006 but the first goal that the same team has scored in Roberts Stadium since 2008 as well.

The next Iv y League match is scheduled for next weekend at Columbia at 7 p.m. The upcoming face off will present another challenge for the Tigers because the Lions are currently sitting atop the Iv y League at 3-0 with nine points ahead of Harvard, Brown, Princeton, and Yale.

Senior captain Tyler Lussi perfectly summarized her team’s commitment to success despite the obstacles that the team has and will undoubtedly confront, “We expect to play at a higher level and we’re prepared to do the work to make it happen.”
