THIS SIDE OF
Rocky-Mathey Dining Services Every day, the dining services staff of the residential colleges is hard at work feeding a vast proportion of the campus’ student population. This week in ‘Street,’ Senior Writer ANDIE AYALA interviews three members of the dining hall staff at Rockefeller-Mathey College Dining Hall, with an interest in their work, their lives and passions. (Editor’s Note: This article is abridged from the complete piece, which can be found on Street’s page of The Daily Princetonian online.) Heather Parker Mathey Card-Swiper What has your work been in the university? I’ve always worked as a card checker. When I started, I just worked the nights. Over the year as people retired and different people retired and different hours became available I started to work lunch. Saturday night I work on the floor. Where were you working before you came to Princeton? I’ve always done counter jobs.

Chef (Omelet Station) What do you like about working at the university? I love young people. That’s why I’m really here. It keeps me young. And I love it. It’s like the first day. Because when you guys come in it’s all new to you. And every year when you all come in, we get to know each other. And I lead the way, because I feel like I’m older, I have people gravitate towards me. How did you first start working at the university? I started in 1996. I’ve been in the same building for 20 years. Before I got here I was working at PJ’s, I was making omelets there. That’s why I was hired. I’ve been to a few other places — Butler, Wilson, Forbes; I was filling down there. But this is my home. I love it. We’ve got the best food on campus.
When I came I was persistent. I put sixteen applications in. When I got here, I came to a job fair. The way my applications got here — students would come over to PJ’s, and I would ask them to bring an application from whatever unit they came from. That’s how they used to do it back then. And that’s how I got hired here. How has the dining hall changed since you’ve been here? Listen, when I first came, it was about forty of us. And there’s only about four of us left from that generation. The way that you lose your job here — people pass, you know what I mean? They die. When people come here, they don’t leave. The pay is good. You meet a lot of people. Have you been involved with university activities? Since I’ve been here I’ve been in two plays, I’ve won four
I started out when I was your age, working the front desk of hotels. I used to work the front desk at New York airport that was at a Holiday Inn. After working at Holiday Inn I ended up working in Atlantic City. What’s your favorite theme night at the residential college? Certainly you see me on Halloween right? Since being at the university, I started dressing up over the past few years. And I have fun with it. I think the students have fun with it. I know that management comes by and looks at
awards. I won one award, the Dick Spies Award [for Excellence]. They gave me $2,000 dollars. They gave me a glass trophy, put my name in it. That was wonderful. They told me I could only talk for two minutes. My niece told me, you love to talk. So I had papers that I taped up, and it rolled out, and it touched the floor. And my boss said, “Howard — you’ve only got two minutes.” And I said, “I know, my niece told me I’ve got to get all this said in two minutes.” But the best thing that happened to me was when I graduated with the class of 2012. Yup. I was an honorary class member. They gave me a jacket and everything. What have been your favorite moments with students? Every year, I go to a basketball game with students and I act as the overseer. I give them their tickets and talk to them. I love that, and we’ve been doing that for five years now. Every year we go see a NBA basketball game, and there be like 20 students with us. What have you heard about the food in the eating clubs compared to Rocky/Mathey? You know, sometimes I ask people that. They say that sometimes the food in eating clubs is better than what we do. Maybe it’s the cooks or the chefs they have. But when it comes to the omelets — nothing’s happening. They’re here. I’m quick too. Because I got to be quick. It takes me about 7 minutes to cook for about 5-10 people — on grill. But like today, out in the dining hall, you got these little pans, and you can only put so much in them.
Larry Foreman Chef When did you first start working in Princeton? “I started working in Princeton when I was 19 years old. I worked in Campus Club, Terrace [Club], Colonial [Club], Quad [Quadrangle Club]. I worked in all these eating clubs in the 80s. And then I worked at Howard Johnson’s restaurants. I gained a lot of experience there. After I was in the eating clubs, I started working with a chef who does catering. His name was Larry Frazer. I learned a lot from him, worked for him a total of six years. But after a while he pushed me out. He told me, you’re ready to work on your own. So I applied for a cook’s job in a nursery home. After six months I became the head cook. I was making charts when planning meals, you know, how they have all those dietary restrictions. I stayed there for six years. But it bored me, you know? I needed more adventure. I was working with the elderly who had Alzheimer’s, dementia and diabetes. What was school like for you? I’ve been around; I’ve been around for a long time. I had never graduated from high school. I was three credits short. And it was demotivating for me to continue. But I always loved to learn, I taught myself a lot. I met my wife when I was 23, we got married when I was 26. We’ve had three children, all of them went to college. And I supported them cooking. Just cooking. Who
me. It just gives me a chance, you know, like you guys — to pretend and be someone else. Have you ever tried working in a different position in the dining hall? I like where I am. I think I’m a good hostess. I like to pretend I’m a hostess at the door, because you get to know what’s going on. Although you know how Howard does his Saturday night special — what some people call ‘pigs in a blanket?’ A couple of Saturday nights ago, I wound up making banana dogs — I took bananas and wound them up in bread and would have thought? One day my daughter, she asked me, ‘Dad, when are you going back to school? You’re the smartest guy I know.’ So one day I went to the Mercer [County] Community College and the woman there told me to take the pretest to see where I was at before I came in. So I took the test and afterward she called me into her office. She sat me down and told me. Do you know what you did? And I said — what do you mean? And she said, you haven’t been in school for 35 years, but you’re testing is already at college level. Because I had educated myself, you know? I just love to learn. So I got my GED, I was elected to the class council, and was valedictorian. I got to speak in front of the whole school, there was something like 3,000 people there, it was pretty nerve-racking. My father got to see me finish high school. I was 49 years old, I did it, my family was proud. How did you start cooking? After that, I got a culinary certificate to cook in the State of New Jersey, and then I came here. You know, you don’t just get hired in Princeton, it’s pretty rigid. There’s a standard. I’ve been work-
served them with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. I hope that they ate them, they all told me they thought it was good, so I enjoyed that. I understood the ‘food love’ that chefs get, because students are really nice, they’ll say, ‘oh, this was really good.’ And it just made me smile, you know? It’s like — yeah, they’re eating something that I made and they’re happy. You’re feeling the love because the kids enjoy what you make for them. And that’s what Howard gets when he makes his hot dogs, because they can’t get enough of them.
ANDIE AYALA:: SENIOR WRITER
ing here for five years, it’s been pretty rewarding. There’s some people here I knew from way back when. I knew Howard back in high school. It’s true what people say about him. Howard was an amazing athlete, he’s a real nice guy. You mentioned that your father got to see you graduate; did you look up to him? What was he like? My father was a pastor of the Morning Star Church of God, back when it was in Princeton. He came from Northern Virginia and got married when he was 20. He passed after his 80th birthday. He always taught me to be a gentleman. To treat people as I would myself. He used to tell me, before I got angry, or upset, or resentful towards someone, to imagine that I was in the other person’s shoes. Have a little more empathy. If most people did that there wouldn’t be so many problems in the world.

Q&A FELLOWSHIPS ADVISER DEIRDRE MOLONEY Interviewed by CATHERINE WANG Senior Writer
P
rinceton University has a long history of success with postgraduate fellowships. As Director of Fellowship Advising, Dr. Deirdre Moloney has an integral hand in guiding students through the process. Street Staff Writer Catherine Wang sat down with Dr. Moloney to learn more about the fellowship advising process. The Daily Princetonian: What is your role in the process of helping students apply for scholarships? Deirdre Moloney: We have traditional info sessions, but we also have a lot of workshops. We have a full-day U.K. Boot Camp for people who are applying to U.K. fellowships – about things like how to brainstorm your essay, how to feel more confident giving a presentation, how to ask for letters of recommendation in an effective way. We also have workshops for Fulbright that are very hands-on,
like how to get an institutional letter of affiliation from a university professor in Brazil for example, or an art museum you might want to work with in Tokyo. We also have a lot of more informal mix and meet in the residential colleges over meals and things like that. We meet regularly in a one-to-one, and I have a questionnaire and I ask people to bring their resumes so I can get an idea of what languages they already have, what their outside pursuits are, what internships they’ve had, so that I can advise them more effectively and make the fellowships work for their interests rather than try and fit a student into a fellowship. DP: How has the process of fellowship advising evolved either since you were appointed in your position at Princeton? DM: Though a lot of the fellowships that are for senior year to do postgraduate projects and degrees such as the Marshall,
the Rhodes, the Gates, the Schwarzman and many others, Hanna Lee and myself in my office are encouraging students to think about fellowships earlier.
but they do need to have a lot of conversations with people on campus like Ryan Low [‘16], Duncan Hosie [‘16] or Evan Soltas [‘16], who have recently [gotten] awards.
When I came on board in 2010, I thought that it was very important to not only start putting it on students radar before they even set foot on campus as an enrolled student, but say for the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates, Fulbright, we really start working with students intensely in the spring of their junior year. We know students who are applying earlier than that because some of them have already done a Critical Language Scholarship. We’re having a lot of success these days for the Truman, and that’s for juniors. In many cases if a student hasn’t decided to apply for those because it’s not a right fit, then they start working with me intensely as juniors at the beginning of February. I don’t want to suggest that it’s like another course,
We don’t want students to have to worry about the logistics, but we want them to know that they should be thinking about how to think about their futures and how maybe fellowships might intersect with those goals. I think a lot of students in the past did not think about fellowships, or they thought about them very late in their college career, so we want and we have many more people interested in fellowships. We often work with students, well for example, in the Freshman Summer Institute before they actually start their freshman year. We talk to people at a big open house that we have the first week of class, and there are a few things that people can apply for as early as their freshman year like the
Critical Language Scholarship or the U.K. Summer Institute, and that positions them to have gone through the application process and to have thought about why a fellowship might be in their future. DP: Do students often apply for multiple scholarships? DM: I encourage that, I don’t want anyone to think that with 32 Rhodes Scholarships for the entire country, that the Rhodes is the only thing that people should be thinking about. I think that encourag[ing] people to apply for the Sachs, which can give them a two year degree at Oxford, but also to widen the net. I think that students should think about applying for a mix of U.K. and other global fellowships, and some of them might also be independent projects in the US. DP: Could you talk about some of the students who have received fellowships this year? DM: In a way, each student has a memorable experience, and I’m often there to share it with them. The students I think, are very very diverse in terms of their coming from all ages. We have a broader representation of regions of the country. They’re really doing incredible things whether it’s working on prison reform through SPEAR or the Petey Greene Program, Soltas has an economics blog that he started in high school, another student was part of the Fung Forum in Dublin about global health, Ella Cheng [‘16] was the USG president. A lot of students have huge languages under their belts. For example, Gates Scholar Yung In Chae [‘15], who’s originally from South Korea, is now in France, and she has seven languages under her belt. They’re rockstar students, and what’s really interesting is students who apply don’t always see how incredible they are, and I have to basically encourage them to remember that they’re incredible people and they can follow in the steps of Sonia Sotomayor [‘76], Elena Kagan [‘81] or Meg Whitman [‘77]. DP: Do you still keep in contact with the Princeton alumni who receive these scholarships? DM: Yes, they are so excited about peer mentoring, that from the time that they get the award, to about 30 years of age, they are eager to do things like have coffee with students, Skype with students if they’re in say Cambridge or somewhere else, contribute to a profile or a blog, advise students about the interview process and serve as panel members if there’s an interview for the Rhodes, the Gates...They come back to campus and are really eager to promote the program to current students. What’s really cool is we have a reunions reception that’s really well attended by fellowships alumni up to age 70 or so, as well as students, faculty and other people.

Q&A THE TEAM BEHIND ’PRINCETON TONIGHT’ Interviewed by TAYLOR KANG
T
Staff Writer
hey’re the Princetonians who made McCosh 50 just a little fuller with a visit from comedian Dave Coulier of “Full House” fame … “The Street” brings you a Q&A with the students behind “Princeton Tonight,” Princeton University’s first TV show, Host and Show Runner Jordan Salama ’19, Executive Producer Ryan Ozminkowski ‘19 and Director Benjamin Jacobson ‘19. The Daily Princetonian: How did “Princeton Tonight” begin? Jordan Salama ‘19: It was the beginning of the year, and Ryan and I had met up and seen the Princeton University Broadcast Center, which is in the basement of Lewis Library, and it’s a fully professional TV center that is used to interview professors when they have big accomplishments. But students had never used the studio, so what we had conceived this idea for a TV show where students get involved with real world TV production in the style of a talk show, so Ryan and I created a pilot, and we brought it up for funding, we formed a partnership with Princeton Film Productions, and then we brought Ben on board and a lot of great other student workers. Ryan Ozminkowski ’19: Basically, Jordan and I met after watching some Princeton Film Productions footage from last year, and we were like, “Hey, you like TV?” And he was like, “I like TV. You like TV?” So we decided to make some TV together. So we shot a little pilot with Charlie Baker [‘17], he’s a student here, and that went well. And we decided we needed a bigger team behind it, we needed someone who knew how to direct, which is when we brought in Ben, and
we needed someone who knew how to write so we brought in Rami [Farran ‘19]. And so we worked to bring out another pilot, and since then it’s just been working to keep building on that, whether it’s newer guests, bigger guests, different kinds, more interaction with the campus community, just trying to gradually build since then. DP: What’s the process behind inviting guests like Dave Coulier? JS: Well if you want contacting people, that’s primarily what I do. I reach out to agents, through connections to the University, basically any lead I can find, either people who might be interested in coming to Princeton or people that are already coming to Princeton. Primarily it has been people who we are bringing to Princeton, but when we contact them, we always try to give them the option of hosting an event that will serve the larger community. So we’re having them on our show, but maybe they’re having a master class or a concert or some sort of fun event that students and faculty members can come to enjoy. So that’s the process of bringing the guests here. RO: It can be as casual as, like, a Facebook message, or a, “Hey, I saw you this summer and I liked you. Want to come to Princeton?” JS: And it works, and you’d be surprised at how many people are already willing and able to come to Princeton and get publicity on our show. People are honored to be on “Princeton Tonight” and it’s a great feeling. DP: What are some other aspects of the show, aside from star power, that you’d like people to know about? RO: We really want to make sure our show appeals to people outside of Princeton, but we really

want to make sure that the organization of “Princeton Tonight” enhances everyone’s experience of Princeton here. So like we were saying, every time we bring the guests, we want to do something big with the community here. We really want to make it very interactive and get a lot of people involved. Also, just for the team itself, we try to work some stuff, whether it’s more writers’ meetings to make them better writers, just learning to edit, put together video footage or direct or any of that stuff. Benjamin Jacobson ‘19: Yeah, there are definitely other aspects. We do sketches and stuff, we do comedy. We have a writers’ room for that. So that’s a lot of fun, and that’s something we think has a wider appeal, because it’s not just Princetonspecific comedy or anything like that. It’s just stuff that we think
people enjoy. And then we’re always looking for new ideas and stuff. We definitely don’t want it to be just about bringing celebrities to campus, but what we do we definitely want to do it outreach. I think with every guest we’ve done something – a show or performance or something for everybody – so it’s not just interviewing. JS: And I think something important to note is that we want to make Princeton a more filmand television-oriented campus, and we want to try and use the show as a centerpiece for that. Historically, Princeton has had a lot of opportunities, but those opportunities were not to the extent of other schools’ in film and television, so by providing people with real world television production experience in a professional TV studio, networking with professionals in the TV in-
dustry. So I think that’s a big aspect that’s underrated right now about “Princeton Tonight,” but we hope to bring that to the forefront, along with the show that we’re making. RO: So hopefully we can make Princeton a film campus. I mean, how awesome would that be? You know, where it’s not just like little, small groups that are trying to start up, trying to force it to happen, but a campus where everybody knows about it, everybody’s involved, everybody’s actively engaged, whether they like watching movies or making movies – that’d be awesome. You know, some little senior in high school is going, “I don’t know which school to go to, but I like film and Princeton has a film and TV culture.” We just want to try to change the entire culture here.

“Singin’ in the Rain” as Revived Classic CAROLYN BEARD

Senior Writer
ene Kelly, tap dancing and a lamppost.” In his program note, actor William Cohen ’16 lists what most people associate with “Singin’ in the Rain.” Made famous by Gene Kelly’s iconic performance in the titular number in the 1952 film, a musical theater classic about Hollywood’s shift from silent film to talkies. The Lewis Center for the Arts’ recent production, directed and co-choreographed by Adin Walker ’16, does something different. As Cohen continues, “With this production, I wanted to play homage but also reinvent. I wanted to play Don Lockwood, not Gene Kelly.” The Lewis Center’s production does exactly that: pay homage and reinvent. In other words, the production successfully breathes new life into the classic. The primary vehicle through which the production reinvents is the music. Some songs are performed tradition-

ally, but most songs are performed almost as acoustic covers of the originals. These acoustic covers include “Fit as a Fiddle,” the vaudeville number Don Lockwood (Billy Cohen ’16) and Cosmo Brown (Allen Hernandez ’16) perform and “You Were Meant for Me,” the ballad Lockwood sings for his love interest Kathy Selden (Madeline Reese ’16). Just as the Golden Age music of the original “Singin’ in the Rain” score was trendy for a 1950s public, so are these acoustic covers “hip” for Princeton’s 2016 audience. A number of songs are performed traditionally, with an excellent rendition of “Good Morning” and an iffy if not explicit version of “Make ‘Em Laugh.” But more interesting are the songs that fully swerve off of their traditional rendering, some being more successful than others. “Beautiful Girls,” traditionally performed as a big ensemble number while being filmed for the movie, is here performed as a more intimate piece between Jared Hopper ’18 and Kamber Hart ’16. As the doll-like subject of Hopper’s heart in this pseudodream sequence, Hart fills the dancing and acting requirements of the role with aplomb. Hopper and Hart’s duet elicits themes of unrealistic expectations in beauty, abusive relationships and structural

misogyny found in American musical theater. Less successful is the production’s reinvention of “All I Do is Dream of You.” In a more traditional performance, Selden, working as a party entertainer, jumps out of a fake pastel pink cake and performs with fellow pink-clad dancing girls. This production keeps the cake, but changes the costumes; instead of scantily-clad entertainers, the production features dancers wearing, playing and dancing with balloons. Not only does the change make the details inconsistent, but the balloons become a logistical nightmare: hand-offs are sloppy and balloons wander around the stage — the aesthetic hardly works. Surely there would be a more effective way to contemporize the party scene. All in all, props are excellent — including umbrellas and musical instruments make frequent appearances — most especially in Alexander Quetell’s ’17 performance on a saxophone in “Moses Supposes.” The use of flower petals as stunt devices provides an aesthetic and low-maintenance stage effect when used to recreate the pie-throwing scene and when used as a continuation of a dancer’s movement. Occasionally, clever props are not implemented to their full potential. The titular song falls flat when mirrors — an atypical but brilliant prop choice for the number — are incorporated too late to be effectively used. There are many brilliant performances, especially including Cohen ’16, Reese ’16, Hernandez ’16, Stanley Mathabane ’17, Ross Barron ’17, Hopper ’18, Hart ’16 and Quetell ’17. But most impressive is the new, contemporary life brought to the production by Walker ’16, a revitalization that would surely “Save Lockwood and Lamont.”
ASK THE SEXPERT This week, we discuss “sustainable periods.” Dear Sexpert,
I am tired of creating so much waste when I’m on my period! Are there any environmentally safe options for dealing with my period that aren’t too scary?
— The Fertile Conservationist
Dear Conservationist, There are many alternative options to the disposable pads and plastic applicator tampons that are commonly sold in a grocery store or pharmacy, which create a lot less waste. Before reviewing these alternatives, I want to first address your worry that these products might be “scary.” Menstruation, or shedding of the lining of the uterus, is a natural process that occurs in all women, and should not be gross or scary. It is a part of life! For many women, menstruation typically lasts only 3-7 days each month and results in shedding more than 20-60 mL of blood over the course of that time. If you ever feel like your period is abnormally long or heavy, discuss this with a physician at home, or with one of the clinicians at UHS. Additionally, some forms of birth control can interrupt your regular cycle or extend time between periods. Like with anything else, trying something new for the first time can be scary. Knowing your options and finding what is the best fit for you can help
ease your concerns. There are generally two types of products that you can use while on your period: external and internal protectors. When picking which products you would like to use in the future, keep in mind to only use what you feel comfortable and safe using. These products aren’t supposed to cause you pain or discomfort. They should make having your period more comfortable and manageable. One of the external options are cloth or reusable pads. While you wear them like you would a regular pad (in the crotch of your panties for the same length of time), instead of throwing them away after each use, you wash them so that they can be used repeatedly. Additionally, some companies sell “pad panties” which allow you to just wear these special undergarments that come in varying absorbencies so that you don’t have to wear a pad or tampon at all. These undergarments can be washed like you would regular panties. For internal use, there are also a variety of options outside of cotton or rayon tampons with plastic or cardboard applicators. Some companies make tampons from organic cotton without applicators, which produce less waste. There is also the menstrual cup, which is a small cup made of silicone or rubber that you insert into your vagina, and it catches the blood
before it ever leaves your body. After a few hours, you remove the cup, empty it, rinse it with clean water and then can reuse it. There are also sponges, man-made or dead sea sponges that you can insert into the vagina. The sea sponges can be used more than once after cleaning for up to 6 months. Conversely some types of synthetic sponges are meant for single use only, so be sure to review the recommended use. Finally, there are just simple reusable, washable tampons that are made from cotton, and can be as absorbent as regular disposable tampons. If any of these alternatives sound appealing to you, I strongly encourage you to make an appointment with Sexual Health and Wellness at UHS to discuss which method would be the best fit for you. The clinicians can discuss the options and teach you how to use these products properly to achieve the best protection. Remember, a healthy and comfortable period is a happy one!
