Bob Dylan H’70 wins Nobel Prize for Literature By Allie Spensley contributor
Bob Dylan, the famous American singer-songwriter and “rock poet,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday. According to the Swedish academy’s press release, he was honored “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Dylan, who was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Music from the University in 1970, is the first musician to win the honor. He is also the first American to receive the Nobel in Literature since former University
professor Toni Morrison won in 1993. Dylan’s songwriting roots are from 1960s New York, where he paired lyrics protesting the Vietnam war with acoustic guitar. Influenced by both folk and rock genres, Dylan’s music has gained widespread popularity and a multitude of awards, including twelve Grammys. Throughout his five-decade career, Dylan’s lyrics have been recognized for their poetic images and surreal, long-form style. The surprise over Dylan’s selection centers around the perceived low odds he had at winning, as well as whether or not See DYLAN page 2
More than sixty University graduate students gathered to discuss whether they should unionize, and if so which organization to affiliate with, in a town hall meeting Oct. 13. After the National Labor Relation Board’s August 2016 decision ruled that graduate students at private universities could unionize, graduate students at the University started meeting to decide whether or not they wanted some form of collective bargaining. In the meeting, the students discussed two potential organizations to collaborate with in preparing their potential negotiation of a contract with the University. Two organizations — the American Federation of Teachers and the Service Employees International Union — reached out to the graduate students with offers to aid the graduate
students’ campaign to negotiate a contract with the University should they decide to unionize. Both the AFT and SEIU have made commitments to provide University graduate students with paid staff dedicated to their campaign, legal aid when they needed representation, and access to a meeting space. AFT’s promised commitments are more specific, pledging a paid campaign director, three to five full-time paid staff, and an established Princeton, NJ office. After reading and hearing summaries of both proposals, students voted to delay deciding which organization to affiliate with until Tuesday, Oct. 18th. The meeting was then opened to questions and commentary using a “stack” method. During this time students voiced their hopes for and concerns about unionizing. Students who were also parents worried that union dues would further stress their already stretched stipends,
though other audience members quickly reassured them that union dues would not be collected until after the students had negotiated a contract, which would potentially include a higher stipend. One audience member commented that to some, a closed shop union would feel like “getting caught in the gears of a device they have no control over.” A first-year graduate student who identified herself as a labor historian replied that closedshop unions have been the most successful. She said that allowing graduate students to opt out of the union without a fee could be a “disaster” for collective bargaining efforts. “My main concern is to make sure that graduate students have a place at the table when it comes to negotiating with the administration because, as others have mentioned at the town hall, there’s a sentiment among graduate students that in meanSee TOWN HALL page 2

University of Ghana to remove Gandhi statue contributor
In a movement that resembles the protests around the naming of the Wilson School and the Wilson College at the University last fall, activists and protesters have succeeded in convincing administration to remove a statue of Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi from the University of Ghana campus. The statue, which was unveiled this past summer as a gift from Indian president Pranab Mukherjee during a visit to Ghana, has had significant pushback during the past
few months from students and professors alike who see Gandhi as discriminatory toward black Africans and promoting the caste system in India. The activists sent a petition to the university council at the University of Ghana to remove the statue, and the Ghana Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which intervened on part of the university council, agreed last Thursday to remove the statue from campus. Mantse Ayikwei, a supporter of the movement who works at the cultural network ACCRA [dot] ALT in Accra, Ghana said “a Gandhi statue should not be anywhere on African soil.” See GHANDI page 2

Chris Christie receives criminal summons over “Bridgegate” scandal By Marcia Brown associate news editor
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie received a probable cause criminal summons Thursday regarding the closing of the George Washington Bridge in 2013 allegedly as punishment to Fort Lee’s mayor, a Democrat, for not endorsing the governor, NBCNewYork reported on Thursday. Christie is an ex-officio trustee of the University. The summons comes after The New York Times recently reported that Christie allegedly knew about the shut-down lanes prior to the incident occurring. The shutdown wreaked havoc on New Jersey-New York traffic flow, causing hours of delays. Activist Bill Brennan filed a complaint against Christie cit-
ing official misconduct a few weeks ago over the lane closures. The New York Post wrote that two Christie aides are currently on trial for their involvement in the lane closings. New Jersey Municipal Court Judge Roy McGeady allowed the official misconduct complaint to go forward, meaning that the case will move to Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office. Christie has not yet been indicted. Christie has recently denied any involvement in what’s been named “Bridgegate,” and he has fired the aides and political appointees who were directly involved. “This is a dishonorable complaint filed by a known serial complainant and political activist with a history of abusing the judicial system,” Brian Murray, the governor’s press secretary,

wrote in an email. “If he’s indicted it could get worse,” Woodrow Wilson School Professor Stanley Katz said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that this is really serious because even the current proceeding is terribly damaging and the more that comes out is terribly damaging but it’s reputational damage.” Katz said he does not know what the odds are, but he does not think indictment is likely. However, even without an indictment, this summons ties Christie closer to the “damage from Bridgegate,” according to Katz. “If he was convicted, he would be disbarred and he couldn’t practice law,” Katz said. “That would be a crushing blow, I think … When you See CHRISTIE page 1

bring criminal charges against a lawyer it can be particularly devastating.” “The simple fact is the Governor had no knowledge of the lane realignments either before they happened or while they were happening,” Murray said. “This matter has already been thoroughly investigated by three separate independent investigations. The ruling is being appealed immediately.” Katz said that there could be an irresponsible official who threatens to bring a charge but it is difficult to indict a sitting lawyer.

Ayikwei noted that Gandhi, when he was in South Africa, supported a 1906 British war on the Zulus and referred to black Africans using demeaning language. “Gandhi had no respect. Gandhi thought that Africans were animals and good-for-nothings and deserved to be slaves,” he said. “He has no place amongst us here. He has no place amongst black people anywhere on this planet.” Pieter Friedrich, an advisor at the California-based Organization for Minorities of India which supports the removal of Gandhi statues worldwide, said that he believes Gandhi statues have been used as a form of propaganda by the Indian government. He described Gandhi as “racist, a sexual predator, [and] a casteist” and said that his organization works to promote the reassessment of Gandhi’s legacy. Friedrich said that the Gandhi statue-removal movement began in 2003 with the installation of a Gandhi statue in Johannesburg, South Africa and subsequent protests by local residents who viewed him as racist. Since then, his organization has supported the removal of Gandhi statues in the US, Canada, France, and the UK, among other places, but he noted that the removal of the statue at the University of Ghana is the first time a Gandhi statue has been removed as a result of the movement. “We agree that [people such
as Woodrow Wilson] should not be honored, but one difference between people like Wilson and Gandhi is that nobody really portrays Wilson as a world-renowned icon of racial equality… Their legacies which have been harmful to marginalized peoples and minority groups need to be exposed, but they’re not actually portrayed as the exact opposite of what they stood for. Gandhi is,” Friedrich explained. “He’s also portrayed as an icon of peace for the world, and yet the reality is that he was considered for a Nobel Peace Prize by the Nobel Peace Prize committee five times throughout history, and five times they rejected him,” Friedrich added. “And the reasons for rejecting him actually link very closely to his racism in South Africa and to his lack of support for peace.” Regarding the discussion around the racist legacy of Woodrow Wilson, Class of 1879, at the University, Ayikwei said that any individual or institution that perpetuates racism, enslavement of another group of people, or discrimination against another group of people has no place among humanity. “So everywhere on this planet where there are movements to decolonize, where there are movements to re-institute truth and humanity into our spaces of existence, we do support them and we do identify with them,” Ayikwei said.

ingful ways we’re locked out of major decision-making bodies,” said David Walsh GS, third year graduate student in the History department. “In fact, there isn’t a representative of recent alumni from the graduate school on the Board of Trustees,” Walsh said. “I see the union as, in addition to the concrete gains that it can give graduate students in terms of healthcare, benefits, contracts, I think that it could help change the University culture to make this a better place for graduate students, faculty, and undergraduate students as a sort of community-building exercise.” Students further discussed the benefits and drawbacks of AFT and SEIU. AFT has historically focused on organizing workers in higher education and generally grants more local autonomy to its members. It also has a national network with shared expertise and resources that meets twice annually. SEIU is a solidaristic union that emphasizes the connection between labor struggles and other political struggles. It is also the largest union on campus and

represents the University’s service workers. Many students at the meeting voiced the opinion that being affiliated with SEIU would create greater worker solidarity on campus and potentially even greater leverage. Walsh explained that he thought that AFT was the students’ best option. “AFT has organized the Rutgers system in the state of New Jersey as well as faculty members in the Rutgers system,” he said. “AFT is actually affiliated with the American Association of University Professors in the state of New Jersey. I feel like with their history in this state, along with their track record of success in this state, they seem to be a better fit for our efforts here than SEIU, which has more of a national presence.” Students will vote on affiliation Oct. 18th at the next union meeting, and they are currently arranging an absentee system. While the vote will be a step toward unionization, whether or not a union will actually be formed will depend on whether the graduate students could get a contract with the University. The town hall meeting was held from 6 to 8 p.m. in 62 McCosh Hall.

his lyrics qualify as literature. The choice marks a drastic shift from past decisions, which have been criticized as favoring obscure, politically-minded writers over more popular figures. “What he did was definitely art and it was definitely a really powerful use of words. He’s maybe one of the greatest lyricists of all time. But I’m not sure that compares to literature on the level of Eugene O’Neill or Toni Morrison or other people who have won the Prize,” said Kieran Murphy ’19. “He was a great lyricist, but it’s really strange that he was given the Nobel Prize for it.” Prominent figures in the fields of politics, letters, and music — notably Chilean president Michelle Bachelet, British novelist Salman Rushdie, and American songwriter Rosanne Cash — have lauded the choice. On Twitter, Rushdie described
Dylan as “the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition” and commended the Nobel committee for a “great choice.” Others in the literary world have expressed disapproval of Dylan’s selection. Scottish novelist Irvine Welsh criticized the decision over Twitter, writing that the Nobel had become “an ill-conceived nostalgia award” for “senile, gibbering hippies.” Paul Schorin ’19, founder of the music criticism magazine “The Princeton LP,” said that awarding Dylan the Nobel in Literature undermines the importance of other aspects of musicianship. “I think it’s a little silly. Part of what makes Bob Dylan so great — part of what makes any musician really great — is how they’re performing the song and the music around the lyrics. There are better lyricists than him, there are people who have done more things, but it’s the way he’s become part of culture that’s so profound,” Schorin said.
“It seems almost like a throwaway to him. It discounts that he’s a musician. Obviously he’s a great lyricist, but there’s a lot to be said about where those words appear.” Schorin also said that the Nobel Prize can cause increased book sales and attention for lesser-known writers who win, an opportunity to increase fame that is wasted upon Dylan because of his already well-established reputation. “Writers tend to get pushed away from the forefront of popular culture. The Nobel is one of the primary venues for making literature more popular and more accessible to the public,” said Shakthi Shrima ’19. “Giving the Nobel Prize in Literature to a singer-songwriter denies writers of literature that opportunity and I think that’s really sad. It’s disappointing. Writer culture tends to be pretty reclusive and I think that giving the Prize to someone who’s not exactly a writer of literature perpetuates that.”

Revisions to Housing’s new three-strike lock-out policy
ne of the more trivial events in the life of a Princeton student is being locked out of his or her dorm room. Princeton Housing and RealEstate Services has recently implemented a new lock-out policy that implements a monetary fine upon the third lockout occurrence. The rest of the system remains the same under the new policy: locked-out students are able to regain access to their dorms through Housing’s two-option system: If students have been locked out of their dorms, they may walk to the Housing and Real Estate Office in the New South Building during regular business hours, or to the Department of Public Safety at 200 Elm Drive after-hours or during the weekend, and receive a free 24hour loaner prox. Students who fail to return the loaner within the 24-hour time frame incur a $75 fee. In the instance that physically retrieving the loaner prox is unfeasible, the student has the alternative option of calling DPS’s non-emergency phone number to request the next available dispatcher to bring the loaner directly to his or her room. A student incurs a $30 fine in selecting this latter option in return for the convenience of not having to retrieve the loaner prox at the aforementioned locations. The most substantive change within Housing’s new policy is the implementation of a monetary fine if the student has been locked out three or more times. In response to this policy change, the Board calls for a more lenient lockout policy, specifically removing the new three-strike charge. The Board also urges Housing to remove the $30 fine that has been carried over from the original system if a DPS dispatcher drives directly to the student’s dorm room to
let him or her in. The Board deems Housing’s new, more stringent policy, as an overly burdensome measure for two reasons. First, the policy disproportionately affects certain Princeton students: those living in singles and those who are already financially burdened. Because both of these circumstances are in most instances inescapable (first-year room draw is randomly selected and financial circumstances are private matters), it is unfair for such a policy to exist when many of those affected did not opt into the circumstances, making the fine disproportionately burdensome to them. Furthermore, although the new policy’s fine attempts to place a disincentive on students repeatedly locking themselves out of their dorms, the act itself is inherently disincentivized by the notion of having to walk to DPS at any time of the day or night in any weather condition. This point is further augmented considering the fact that students are often locked out during states in which they are extremely vulnerable, such as while returning from the shower early in the morning or late at night. For these reasons, the Board strongly advises that Housing revoke its current threestrike policy. Moreover, Housing should allow locked-out students who decide to retrieve a loaner-prox in person from the Housing or DPS offices to receive said prox free of charge, regardless of the number of pre-existing lockout occurrences. In addition, the Board encourages Housing to forgo the $30 it charges if DPS drives directly to a student’s room to let them back in. This charge is equally and unduly burdensome on students in singles and of a lower socioeconomic background, as

is the three-strike policy. If Housing is concerned with students abusing the charge-free system, we believe it can operate similarly to the existing P-Rides system in which students can call for a ride to and from anywhere on campus by explaining to the operator the circumstances that warrant this service. In the case of a lockout, the Board foresees many such legitimate reasons, including that the student may only be wearing a towel or may feel unsafe walking all the way down campus late at night. If DPS is concerned about the availability of cars, there can be the understanding that there may be a longer wait time if students want DPS to drive to them. Students always retain the ability to walk to New South or 200 Elm if they deem the wait time too long. Thus, removing the $30 charge gives students choice without imposing unfair financial constraints. Implementing these changes would allow students who have been locked out to receive the best service possible in a given situation. Moreover, the disproportionate effect which the current policy has upon students in singles and those who are financially burdened would be eliminated. Getting locked out of one’s dorm room is rarely a pleasant experience. However, the Board believes that the following measures, once implemented, can effectively eliminate some of the greatest inconveniences placed upon the student while not unduly burdening Housing or DPS and their operations.

H
ere at Princeton, we’re pretty close to New York. People always talk about taking the train to Grand Central for the weekend — not to mention the fact that all of our residential colleges frequently offer bus rides up to see Broadway shows. And in general, we’re all happy with our proximity to New York. It’s close but not too close. Despite the enviable proximity, I’d be willing to bet that not many students know what happened in New York on Sept. 13. It wasn’t a Kanye West concert or a hot-ticket showing of “Hamilton;” it was the opening of the 71st session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Or, more recently, would students even be aware of what happened last week on Oct. 6, when the Security Council formally nominated António Guterres as the next UN secretary general? Maybe you saw something about GA Week on Snapchat when it was featured as a live story during that week. Maybe you didn’t. In any case, it is a big deal. It’s a time when world leaders from all over the globe come together in one building — one room — in New York and do something that they usually never do: Talk to each other and listen. Everyone from Barack Obama, Justin Trudeau, and the recently chosen British Prime Minister Theresa May to newly elected Brazilian President Michel Temer and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi makes the trek to the UN Headquarters for GA Week. Even some A-list celebrities like George and Amal Clooney and Emma Watson attended. International diplomats take this time to address some of the year’s most pressing issues and discuss possible solutions to the topics that have dominated the news for months. The ongoing international conf lict in Syria along with the ensuing refugee crisis was a hot topic — along with the recent Brexit decision’s effects on the global community. But the assembly also focuses on larger, more long-term projects, such as the previous year’s Sustainable Development Goals, a universal effort by the member nations of the UN to reduce global poverty levels, protect the planet, and foster peace and welfare throughout the world. In a way, GA Week is a time to regroup, to assess the state of our world.
Undoubtedly the most pressing international situation, the expansive war in Syria, proved a contentious topic for the assembly of world leaders. The problem is complex and diverse, entailing not only the fight against the constant spread of ISIS but also the international community’s reaction to the Assad regime, the question of international involvement in Syria, and the most pressing refugee crisis since the outbreak of World War II. With the Summit for Refugees and Migrants, Leaders’ Summit on the Global Refugee Crisis, and Security Council meeting on the Syrian conf lict, delegations spent much time discussing how to bring an end to the carnage in Syria. Some people don’t believe in the United Nations, calling it inefficient and unnecessary in today’s world. Some see the supranational organization as more of a bureaucratic formality than an organization of real substance. There seems to be a resounding cry, especially this year with the Brexit decision in the UK, against globalization and the such unifying organizations. In a world where nations sometimes forget how to interact with each other, the United Nations renews faith in a concept that some would call idealistic and irrational: diplomacy to combat our problems. The UN gives the countries of the world a place to meet, a place to talk, a place to cooperate. Granted, it doesn’t come without problems. The organization is not perfect, but fundamentally, its ultimate purpose (redundant) is worthwhile. We need the UN, especially in a world that gets more complicated, contentious, and volatile with each day. It’s up to us, the next generation, to maintain interest in what goes on at the UN, in what these world leaders discuss and propose and argue. But it’s not enough to simply pay attention and listen. Get involved. If we want to make tangible change to any one of our global problems, we need to make our voices heard. So get involved in any way you can, whether that be spreading awareness about a cause or taking a more direct, pointed approach towards resolving an issue. Because the UN and any organization for that matter truly succeeds when it gains the support and enthusiasm of the people. Diplomacy is hard; it’s a game of inch-
es. However small or seemingly meaningless those inches, though, it’s a continuous effort. Maybe, just maybe, we can do something to make those inches mean a little more. Kaveh Badrei is a freshman from Houston, Texas. He can be reached at kbadrei@ princeton.edu.

lead by halftime. Sophomore driver Matt Payne led Princeton with five goals, with senior utility Jovan Jeremic adding another three. Meanwhile, a powerful defense, spearheaded by AllAmerican Vojislav Mitrovic’s nine saves and ten team steals, held back a strong Colonial offense. Though George Washington made a valiant rally in the second half, the Tigers ultimately proved dominant, winning 16-8 against another formidable opponent. The Tigers returned to the pool later that day to take on Navy, which has struggled so far this season with a 6-10 overall record and an 0-5 record in away pools. Against the Tigers, however, the Midshipmen mounted an
admirable effort, scoring the first goal against Princeton. However, Princeton proved too dominant for Navy to handle. Powerful offensive performances from freshman Sean Duncan and sophomore Ryan Wilson, who scored three goals each, netted the Tigers a strong 9-4 lead by halftime, while Mitrovic again proved a dominant force at the net with fifteen saves. Though Navy, like George Washington, would play strongly in the second half, Princeton was able to hold on for an ultimate 12-7 victory. The Tigers’ two strong wins last weekend catapulted them in the national rankings, earning them a ninth place in the national poll. Their next matches come against Ivy League rivals Harvard and Brown next weekend.

Football opens crucial stretch of season against Brown this weekend By Jack Graham contributor
Following a successful three-game road trip, the Princeton Tigers (3-1, 1-0 Ivy) will return home this Saturday to face the Brown Bears (1-3, 0-1 Ivy) in a critical Ivy League matchup. Princeton is coming off a commanding 31-17 road victory against Georgetown. Offensively, Princeton was anchored by the quarterback platoon of senior Chad Kanoff, who completed 18 passes for 168 yards, and junior John Lovett, who threw one touchdown and added three more on the ground. Sophomore running back Charles Volker contributed 88 yards rushing. The Princeton defense showed great potential against Georgetown, forcing five turnovers and limiting the opponent to a mere one for 12 on third down conversions. In total, Princeton gained 414 yards to Georgetown’s 188, representative of Princeton’s overall dominance. Princeton will be looking for a similar result this weekend against a Brown team that has struggled so far this season, losing its past three games. Brown concluded its non-conference play last week against Stetson with a sloppy defeat in which Brown took a 14-0 early game lead before committing six turnovers and eventually falling 31-21. Turnovers have been an Achilles heel for Brown; it has posted a -8 turnover differential during its three-game skid. For Princeton, which boasts a +7 turnover differential in its three wins and a
-3 in its only loss, continuing to win the turnover battle by capitalizing on Brown mistakes will be critical. One particularly interesting matchup to watch will be between the Brown passing attack and the Princeton secondary. After conceding an average of 411 yards passing in its first two games, the Princeton defensive backfield has tightened considerably, only allowing an average of 161 yards through the air in its past two games, both victories. Brown quarterback Kyle Moreno averaged 221 yards passing and 2.3 touchdowns through his first three games, but he was replaced midway through the Stetson game after a turnover-riddled performance. If the Princeton defense wishes to prevent a Brown aerial resurgence, it will need to limit the impact of Moreno’s favorite target, receiver Alexander Jette, who has averaged 67.8 yards receiving for the season. Princeton and Brown have been evenly matched in recent years — Princeton holds a 3-2 record against the Bears over the past five seasons. However, Princeton will undoubtedly be hoping to avenge last season’s heartbreaking 38-31 road defeat at the hands of Brown. As Princeton begins a stretch of six continuous games within the Ivy League, the team must look to avoid a repeat of its 2015 season, in which it began 4-0 before dropping 5 out of its last 6 games to Ivy League foes. A win against Brown this Saturday would be an excellent place to start.

Along with football and women’s volleyball, Princeton field hockey will host Brown this weekend on Saturday at 12 p.m. They are heading into the game with momentum behind them after dominating Columbia last Friday 6-0, their biggest win of the season so far. The Tigers head into the game ranked ninth in the coaches poll after suffering a narrow loss in overtime on Sunday against Duke. Brown field hockey have been having a rather successful Ivy League campaign so far, only losing to Harvard in a close 1-0 game. The game this weekend will be of utmost importance to Brown, which, like many of the Ivy League teams, relishes the chance of beating Princeton. As of yet, the Tigers have remained undefeated in conference play and have not conceded a goal. This weekend will provide a challenge against Brown
to keep their intensity up in the Ivy League and to send out another strong message to the conference for their game against Harvard next week. With the return of last year’s Ivy League Rookie of the Year and one of the three Tigers to be selected for the U21 World Cup in November, Sophomore Sophia Tornetta will be looking to be clinical in front of the goal, which has been something that the team has struggled with against tougher opponents. This weekend has a quick turnaround for the Tigers as they then play Towson on Sunday, their last non-conference play before the NCAA Tournament in November. Towson has struggled this season, currently holding a 2-11 record overall. This game will be a chance for Princeton to keep up the positive momentum going into the three remaining Ivy League games to come with arguably the biggest this year being Harvard, who is the only other undefeated team so far.

The men’s water polo team continued their steady improvement last weekend with two decisive victories against George Washington and Navy at home. While both wins were non-conference, they have boosted the Tigers’ No. 13 rank to a season high of 9, making Princeton the highest-ranked Northeast Water Polo Conference team in the nation. Princeton returned to
the pool last Sunday after a 4-1 run the week before, with victories against Iona, Brown, St. Francis-Brooklyn, and MIT and a tough 8-7 loss to Harvard. Both George Washington and Navy have been consistent opponents on the Tigers’ schedule. The Colonials, while a solid opponent ranked 16th when they entered DeNunzio this Sunday, had only won one match out of forty against Princeton in program history. Though Navy is an overall 35-31 against the Tigers, as of late, Princeton holds the
upper hand against the Midshipmen, having won 10 out of their last 11 encounters. No. 16 George Washington entered DeNunzio on a hot streak, having won five out of their last six games and attained the highest national poll ranking in school history. A dangerous opponent with a dynamic offense, the Colonials had taken down such foes as No.15 Air Force and No. 9 Bucknell. The Tigers, however, quickly took a decisive lead in the match, holding a staggering 10-3 See M. WOPO page 5
