Wilson College to remove mural of Woodrow Wilson from Wilcox hall

By Annie Yang News Editor

By Jessica Li news Editor

A mural of former University and United States President Woodrow Wilson, Class of 1879, will be removed from the wall of Wilson College dining hall over the next few days.

The photograph, commonly referred to as a mural, depicts Wilson throwing the first pitch for a baseball game and covers one wall of the Wilcox dining hall. It was installed during the 2009 renovations of the dining hall.

In its place, a piece of artwork that represents the College’s history with respect to inclusion and diversity will be installed.

Eduardo Cadava, head of Wilson College, wrote in an email to students in Wilson College on Tuesday morning that although he was charged with the final decision, he endorsed student

suggestions to remove the murals.

Cadava did not respond to requests for comment.

University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83, who described the mural as “unduly celebratory,” also voiced his support for the decision, adding that given its nature and context, the mural was the wrong place for that kind of depiction for Wilson.

In February, Cadava formed an ad-hoc Student Advisory Committee with 12 students who worked to collect student opinions and speak with alumni and administrators. The Committee submitted a formal recommendation on April 14 which Cadava supported, he wrote.

“The students have submitted their formal recommendation — in a thoughtfully laid out argument and summary of their process — and they are recommending that we remove See MURAL page 5

Pile of bikes near boathouse grows, origins unknown and some unattended for months

By Marcia Brown staff writer

DAILY PRINCETONIAN CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Many bikes could be found unattended near the boathouse, yet the origins of these bikes are unknown.

U N I V E R S I T Y A F FA I R S

A growing pile of more than a dozen seemingly abandoned bikes can be found near the Shea Rowing Center, home of the University’s crew teams.

Some of the bikes in the pile appear fully functional and crew team members walk by them everyday. Many students are unaware of why the bikes remain.

Amanda Haye ’19, a women’s lightweight rower, said she heard rumors about the bikes’ origins, and that the bikes aren’t necessarily owned by crew members.

“That’s a known thing that people steal bikes and don’t put them back,” she said. “Maybe that’s what it is. That’s what people think. I know that’s [what] people think, but I don’t know for sure.”

Haye said there are bikes by the

trees that accumulated as the year progressed.

“They weren’t there constantly at the beginning of the year,” she said.

Ellie Maag ’19, a women’s openweight rower whose bike was stolen from the boathouse around October of last year, expressed surprise at the number of bikes that are abandoned.

“I really don’t understand why they’re still there. You’d think someone would have stolen them by now. Some are half sunk into the ground and almost look like they’re trying to be garden décor or something,” she said.

Jan Bernhard ’18, a men’s heavyweight rower, said that most people on crew have bikes that are commonly purchased from Walmart.

As a result, they are low quality and frequently break, he added. He said that sometimes if the bikes’ chains break, people can still use See BIKE page 2

U. improves search function for website Ted Cruz ’92 selects Fiorina as running mate staff writer

The University launched an improved search function on its website Monday.

The search field covers both the main University web page and other University web properties, including departmental websites, the Research at Princeton website and the Alumni Association of Princeton University website. The new search function allows visitors to search not only by relevance of such criteria as headlines, people and events, but also by date,

according to Assistant Vice President for Communications Daniel Day. “It’s kind of a super-Google, if you will, in that it has all the advantages of speed and accuracy, and it’s tweaked to bring up results from the University sites, and it does it all very efficiently,” Day said.

The University has always had a Google-based search, but it had not been updated since the last website redesign in 2008, Day added. Specifically, the search engine has been switched from the Google search appliance to the Google site search, Day said.

The Google site search is a paid solution that offers the possibility for highly customized search solutions spanning a specific set of websites.

Since October, the Office of Communications and the Office of Information Technology have been collecting data and interviewing users, especially undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni to begin plans to design the website.

Jay Dominick, vice president for information technology and chief information officer, deferred comment to Day. See SEARCH page 3

CHVRCHES

quadrangle club

n case you were wondering, Chvrches’ name doesn’t mean anything particularly religious – they “just thought it sounded cool.”

The Scottish synthpop indietronica trio, composed of Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty, hails from Glasgow of (at least for their target audience) music festival fame. Formed several years ago, the band found both critical and commercial success with the release of their “Recover EP” in March 2013 and “The Bones of What You Believe” only six months after. They were soon included in the BBC’s Sound of 2013 list of up-and-coming artists, as well as several other “Best of 2013” features. Most recently,

their second studio album, “Every Open Eye,” was released in September 2015 to further acclaim.

The trio first formed in 2011 when Cook and Doherty invited Mayberry to record vocals for a few demos for Blue Sky Archives.

Mayberry had grown up playing both the piano and the drums.

Before entering the music scene, she’d earned a degree in law and a Masters in Journalism, freelancing for several years before joining the band, though the singer still pens the occasional article, including, in 2013, an op-ed for “The Guardian” regarding the online misogyny directed towards her. Cook played guitar for alternative rock bands Aereogramme and The Unwinding Hours, writ-

ing for film and television on the side and Doherty played keyboards for the indie group The Twilight Sad. Chvrches draw from the heyday of 80s new wave, often heralded the modern-day New Order and Depeche Mode. But catchy beats and tapping feet aside, there’s also a sense of strength, of self-assertion in their music. Despite Mayberry’s seemingly sweet vocals – at times girlish and giddy yet always cleanly layered over echoing synth – which call to mind pop of the bubblegum variety, Chvrches’ is a brand of synthpop that calls for close listening. Their lyrics seem vague but prove personal through their bleary-eyed, rounded-corner ambiguity. And

it’s this clash of birdlike vocals together with these nebulous lyrics that results in what may be called Chvrches’ signature sound: accessible, emotive electronica that reclaims strength from the pain of departures and almost-departures, of near-breakups and toxic relationships. Their most popular track to date, “The Mother We Share,” declares, “In the dead of night, I’m the only one here/And I will cover you, until you go-o-oh.”

“Leave a Trace” claims, “And you had best believe/That you cannot build what I don’t need.” Their music is powerful in the way only pop can be: perhaps Mayberry doesn’t reach the vocal vibrato of Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High)” or Sia’s “Chandelier,” but she doesn’t

YouTube it: “THE MOTHER WE SHARE” “LEAVE A TRACE” have to – sometimes the music reaches those emotional highs, sometimes Mayberry does, and sometimes they strike a perfect balance. The music may be synthheavy and born of computers, but the emotion is all too real.

And if all this talk of passion and power means nothing to you – hey, at least you can dance to them.

ailing from New York, indie group The Heydaze consists of Jesse Fink on vocals and guitar, Andrew Spelman on guitar, Alexander Glantz on bass and Tyler Matte on drums. Conceived by Fink and Spelman in 2013 when they were dewy University of Pennsylvania grads, the band’s name derives from the longstanding tradition of the Penn

THE HEYDAZE

Hey Day, a celebration of the last day of classes and the juniors becoming seniors. And it seems that The Heydaze wants to keep the band within the Quaker family – Glantz, the newest addition as of 2014, chose to forgo junior year at Penn for the indie pop scene.

Of the self-proclaimed “Windows down, stereo up” genre, the band’s first single, “Little Bandit,” amassed over 256,000 plays on

Soundcloud. Ever since, they’ve been playing sold-out venues in New York such as Webster Hall and, most recently, touring with Jesse McCartney on his In Technicolor Tour and Timeflies on The After Hours Tour. After releasing several other singles, including “Arnold Palmer” and “City Girl,” the group finally released their debut self-titled EP under Island Records in June 2015. Featuring

four tracks, “THE HEYDAZE” is reminiscent of DNCE and other indie, feel-good music.

For a group of former Ivy League students, the title of their first track seems out of character – “Dumb,” an ode to the morning after, deals with regret while never abandoning the group’s lighthearted vibe, with Fink declaring, “Guess I’m just young and foolish” in the chorus. “ABC,” a playful

While a small sampling of what the band has to offer, “The Heydaze” captures the quartet’s spirited sound and celebration of youth and carefreeness. It’s indie pop with a funky twist. You can probably expect an EP from them soon, but to tide you over till then, they’ve also been releasing covers of Tove Lo’s “Habits” and Taylor Swift’s “Style” on their YouTube page.

“We just want to write music you can sing along to,” Fink said in an interview. “The songs are clever, but they’re not overthought. We hope everyone can share in that energy.”

TWIN PEAKS colonial club T win Peaks, which will be playing at Colonial on Sunday, is a garage rock band which was formed in 2009 in Chicago, Illinois. Members of the band include lead vocalist and guitarist Cadien Lake James, guitarist Clay Frankel, bassist Jack Dolan, keyboardist Colin Croom (who officially joined in 2015) and Connor Brodner on drums.

The band was formed by lead vocalist James in 2009 while all the members were in high school. The band’s musical style has been heavily influenced by music from the 1960s. Back in 2012, the band recorded its de-

but album “Sunken,” in James’ basement using Garageband.

Sunken was released in July 2013

by Autumn Tone Records, an independent record label. Less than twenty minutes long, the album was positively received by Pitchfork, an online music magazine, which called Sunken “a very good album in a style –Twin Peaks have perfected the kind of songwriting that puts you in a practiced, happy headlock.”

All members except Frankel went on to attend Evergreen College in Olympia, before making the collective decision to drop out and return to Chicago to seriously pursue a music career. The

band’s second album “Wild Onion” was released by the Grand Jury in August 2014. Wild Onion was twice as long as the band’s debut effort, and was very well received by fans for the two distinct musical styles which were evident. As Pitchfork said in an online review, “they seem to be offering two distinct versions of themselves: in one, they’re goodtimes party rockers, and in the other they’re heartbroken sweethearts.”

Their third album “Down in Heaven,” has thirteen tracks, and is scheduled to be released on May 13 this year. In an interview with Spin, the band noted

COURTESY OF THE GUARDIAN

that it had been inspired by one year in particular: 1968. James noted that the album is “not necessarily lyrically, but in sonic aesthetic, like the Kinks’ Village Green Society, Beatles’ White Album, and Rolling Stones’ Beggar’s Banquet,” three albums which were all released in 1968.

The album was recorded over the course of a month in the summer of 2015 while the band stayed at a friend’s house in Massachusetts.

New York-based record label Grand Jury Music claimed that the band’s third album “makes it increasingly hard to call their sound ‘classic.’ It’s rock new and old, it’s a little bit of country,

METRO STATION tower club M etro Station is an American pop band with its roots in an American icon – that icon being Hannah Montana. The original band members, Mason Musso and Trace Cyrus, met on the set of the Disney Channel show. Mason’s brother Mitchel was Oliver in Hannah Montana and Trace’s sister is, you guessed it – Miley Cyrus. Mason and Trace bonded over their passion for punk fashion and pop music. Mason is the lead singer while Trace the lead guitarist. They started uploading their music on MySpace

and their popularity increased as time went by, and eventually an intern at Columbia Records noticed them. Shortly after, the pair signed the contract.

In 2007, the two made their debut in the music industry with two released singles “Kelsey” and “Control.” While these two songs didn’t exactly hit the mainstream, in 2008 their single “Shake It” skyrocketed to #10 on Billboard’s Hot 100, granting Metro Station a great deal of airplay.

However, the band broke up in 2010. Mason purchased the name Metro Station and Trace

left to become a solo artist. Both individuals released songs during the time, but none of them achieved the popularity to sweep the nation.

In 2014, Trace returned to Metro Station and they released an album called “Love & War” not long after. The other members in the band have been changed multiple times, but the current members include Mason, the lead singer, Trace, the lead guitarist, drummer Spencer Steffan and keyboardist Jimmy Gregerson.

The style of Metro Station is known as synth pop, meaning

they incorporate synthesizers as the main instruments. Synthesizers are electronic instruments that produce sounds through electric signals, and with the use of amplifiers, the audiences are able to hear it. Metro Station uses synthesizers to create buzzing and pumping beeps, which can be heard in a lot of their songs – “Shake It” is a perfect example to symbolize the style.

Not only their style, but the sense of fashion is what makes Metro Station unique. Trace Cyrus goes for the total punk star look: tattoos all over the body, spiky hair, spooky eyes,

He is often seen singing or playing the guitar in the back while Trace is jumping up and down or taking his shirt off to pump the audience up. The opposing features in their style is partially what makes Metro Station so catchy and memorable.

Metro Station will perform in Tower at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 1. You should get ready to shake it, I guess.

Olcese is the lead singer, who is extremely good at getting the crowd pumped with his enthusiasm. O’Rourke is in charge of fronting as well. Together, “acoustic indie meets indie punk,” as described on their official website.

The band performs regularly in The Saloon, an English pub in Penn State, on Thursdays, and Café 210, a bar in Philly, on Fridays. On the weekends and on breaks, the band would take trips all the way from Key West to Canada. In fact, My Hero Zero came to Cottage this past April 17, where a Sunday Funday event replicated the Coachella music festival and everyone showed up with floral crowns and crop tops.

In 2015 K Camp released his debut album, “Only Way Is Up” which features “Comfortable”, the song lyrics

THE YING YANG TWINS H ANHHHH. I know where you will be on Sunday for Lawnparties: Cap & Gown to see the Ying Yang Twins of course. It has come to my attention that not many people are aware of who the Ying Yang Twins are and this greatly disappoints me. No matter who you are, your background, your musical preferences, you have heard of the song “Get Low” by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz featuring the Ying Yang Twins. Whether this was at an

awkward middle school dance or in the eating clubs themselves, you have heard the song “Get Low.” Thus, you have heard the Ying Yang Twins, even if you haven’t heard of them.

Kaine (born Eric Jackson) and D-Roc (born Deongelo Holmes), also know as the Ying Yang Twins, are a rapping duo from Atlanta, Georgia. In 2000 the unknown duo debuted their first single, “Whistle While You Twurk” (further evidence that twerking, was in

fact a form of dance before Miley Cyrus made it popular during her 2013 MTV VMA’s performance). Their single gained instant fame and reached #17 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop chart.

The Ying Yang Twins became more popular when they toured with fellow rappers: Juz tha King, Kat Nu and Demo Dil, and released their debut album, “Thug Walkin’” later that year. When the duo found Lil Jon in 2002, there were immediate negotiations to sign them to TVT Records. 2005 was

Softball seeks to clinch divison title

by Natalia Chen :: Staff Photographer and Courtesy of Princeton Athletic Communications Only one weekend stands between Princeton softball and the Ivy League South Division title. Should the Tigers win at least two of four games against struggling Cornell this weekend, Princeton will secure a visit to both the Ivy League championships and the NCAA tournament.

Just one month ago, few would have pictured the team in their current division-leading position. In the midst of an eleven game losing streak, the Tigers incited fear in few.

However, since then Princeton has dominated the Ivy League. Most recently, the Tigers stole three games from division-foe Columbia. The season’s stars have been sophomore Danielle Dockx and freshman Kaylee Grant, who lead the team in runs. Based on the current trajectory, the future remains bright for the ambitious Tigers.

Transportation & Parking Services has not classified bikes as abandoned BIKE

them to coast downhill toward the boathouse, but might not use the bike to go back uphill. Thus, some bikes are left behind.

According to Bernhard and lightweight rower Oscar Holmes ’19, there was a cleanup earlier in the year of the seemingly abandoned bikes. Bernhard said he thinks this has only happened once during his time at the University.

Rebecca Blevins ’19, a women’s open weight rower, also heard that there was a cleanup effort earlier this year.

According to Holmes, the cleanup was ordered by a coaching staff at the boat club.

In an email sent to multiple crew teams in early March, Greg Hughes ’96, head coach of men’s heavyweight crew, asked all bikes to be removed the next day as too many bikes were piling up.

“All remaining bikes [after the cleanup] will be removed and disposed of,” Hughes wrote.

Hughes did not respond to a request for comment. Kate Maxim, assistant coach for the women’s openweight crew, deferred comment to the University Department of Public Safety.

DPS deferred comment to University Media Relations Specialist Min Pullan.

According to Pullan, Public Safety does not touch bikes unless there is evidence of a crime. She explained that DPS does not pick up abandoned bikes nor store them.

“If it’s something abandoned, Transportation and Parking Services should get it. There’s certainly nothing more that Public Safety does,” she said.

Public Safety had no knowledge of such a cleanup and deferred comment to the University’s Transportation & Parking Services.

Michelle Ingram, manager for parking enforcement and respon-

sible for bikes on campus, said that if a cleanup was done, Public Safety would have performed it.

Ingram said that her department focuses almost entirely on the inner campus where authorized bike posts or ribbon racks are located.

Ingram added that Transportation & Parking Services has a protocol for determining when bikes are abandoned.

Signals of abandonment include twisted tires or missing handlebars, Ingram said. Transportation & Parking Services tag bikes that appear to be abandoned. After a designated wait period where no owner claims the bike, the Department collects the bike and holds them before donating the bikes.

After determining whether or not a bike is abandoned, collecting and holding the bike for a period of 30 days, the Department donates the bikes to Bikes for the World and the Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County, according to Ingram.

To solicit community input, the Office of Communications has opened up a floor for more student involvement through focus groups and suggestion forms on their re-design blog, according to Winny Myat ’18, Chief Designer of the University Student Government Communications Committee.

Myat is a former copy editor for the Daily Princetonian.

Myat also added that one of the biggest issues with the website in the past was its lack of user-friendliness, especially regarding navigation and searches.

“When any of us wanted to use the website, we’d end up just Googling it and clicking on the first thing that came up, as opposed to going on the website and actually using it. There was a disconnect between princeton.edu and anything that you had to do,” Myat said.

“The recent search engine improvement was what we call

an incremental improvement to the website,” Jill Moraca, Senior Manager of OIT Web Development Services, explained.

In the coming months, OIT, the Office of Communication and another external partner agency, Digital Pulp of New York City, will progress from these incremental improvements to entirely re-designing the University website, Moraca said.

“Rather than waiting months for a whole new site, taking an incremental approach to improving it is beneficial so that end users don’t have to wait for large bundles of enhancements to be released,” she added.

By September, the team in charge of designing the website hopes to have prototypes ready for students, faculty, staff and other users to test and provide feedback on, Day added.

“The building won’t begin until we’re satisfied that a wide range of the community — and that certainly includes undergraduates and graduate students — have a good chance to analyze the work,” Day noted.

Eisgruber expects swift mural removal process MURAL

Continued from page 1

the mural and that, in its place, we install an artwork or another visual representation that embodies the College’s unique history in relation to issues of inclusion and diversity,” he wrote.

According to Denay Richards ’19, a member of the committee, Cadava had mostly left the decision process to students on the committee.

“He pretty much left it to us to decide how to proceed. Professor Cadava said that he would like the recommendation to be based on what the students, as opposed to the alums or himself, had thought,” she said.

Some members of the student committee members had met with Eisgruber during his office hours in March and a few alumni, according to Richards.

She also noted that the committee had a diverse array of opinions and that not everyone was in agreement from the getgo.

Tyler Lawrence ’16, another member of the ad-hoc committee, noted that the Committee had solicited opinions from Wilson College students at large and that the ratio of those in favor of removing the mural to those against was 2:1.

“However, it also seemed possible to us that this feedback was not necessarily a reflection of the general campus opinion,” he said.

Nonetheless, the Committee reasoned that even if a majority of students were not in favor of removing the mural and the feedback was unrepresentative, the results were also “telling,” he added.

“It meant that those in favor of removal felt strongly enough that it was in some way harmful to provide us their opinions, while those opposed to removal did not feel so strongly,” he said.

Another member of the committee, Caleb South ’19, said that although he is aware that the decision will be disappointing and upsetting to some, he hopes it will lead to further discussion throughout the University community about problematic aspects of the University’s past and the possibility of changing the status quo.

“I hope that the mural will be replaced by something more reflective of what Wilson College is and should be, which will remind all those who eat in Wilcox Hall of their duty to act in the service of humanity,” South said.

Though the final recommendation was made unanimously, the letter submitted to Cadava was not signed by every member. Lawrence said that it is unclear whether the students did not sign to suggest opposition or due to time constraints.

The Committee noted in its recommendations that that the name of the College was chosen in honor of Wilson’s vision for the residential college system and not for the man himself.

The report further explained that the mural was added in 2009 when the dining hall was renovated by architect Michael Graves. As the College is currently aware, the mural was not an intentional feature of Wilson dining hall’s new look but rather a choice to fill an otherwise blank wall space, the report said.

“The giant picture in the din-

The Daily Princetonian

ing hall unavoidably brings the man Wilson into the college Wilson,” the report read.

Earlier this month, the Board of Trustees made the decision not to remove Wilson’s name from the residential college and the Wilson School. Along with the decision, the Trustees also released a number of recommendations, including reforming campus iconography. Cadava was separately tasked with the decision to remove or keep the mural.

Eisgruber stated that he doesn’t believe the two decisions are at odds with each other.

“I have felt that it would be entirely consistent and indeed the right thing to leave Wilson’s name in the College and the School but to take down the photo of him,” Eisgruber said.

The photograph celebrated the personal and private aspects of the man, Eisgruber said, echoing the sentiments of the Committee. He added that an important part of the conversation in questioning Wilson’s legacy is to distinguish his accomplishments from deficiencies in his character.

Furthermore, he added that it is appropriate for different bodies to handle different situations.

“We ask different bodies to make judgments about this because of the different consequences at stake and the roles they have in our community.”

Not to re-name the Wilson School was a decision by the Board of Trustees to, in the first place, commemorate Wilson’s contributions to the University and the nation, he said. Regardless, according to Eisgruber, in both cases the decisions were made with significant input from the community.

“We understood that the decision about the name of the College and the decision about the mural were separate processes which did not necessarily overlap,” South noted, “however, we realized that the Trustees’ decision might have a major impact on our recommendation, especially if they decided to remove the Wilson name. We thought carefully about the implicit message that our recommendation would send when considered in conjunction with theirs.”

Cadava added in his statement that the mural was inconsistent with the history of Wilson College. The College was the only one founded by students as a stand against elitism and exclusion, he added.

Eisgruber said he expects the removal process to be expeditious.

“This is not an important artwork, this is a reproduction of a photograph so there are no concerns there with artistic preservation,” he said.

“There is no other portrait on campus like this. It is out of line with the rest of campus iconography,” Lawrence said.

Lawrence further noted that moving forward, he would like to see more substantive representation of the University’s history across campus. In particular, he stated that he believes there needs to be increased description of other former University presidents like James McCosh and John Witherspoon.

Richards described the decision as a step in the right direction. However, she noted that there are many other challenges the campus still faces.

Draper: Fiorina will add new energy to campaign CRUZ

Continued from page 1

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

we need to take our country back in 2016. I wholeheartedly believe Ted Cruz is the man to lead that fight. And I am prepared to give everything I have to ensure we defeat Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton,” Fiorina stated in a Facebook post.

“This is a fight for the soul of our party and the future of our nation,” said Fiorina at the Indianapolis rally.

Last week, Cruz and Ohio Governor John Kasich announced an alliance to cede states to each other in an effort to deny Trump the party’s nomination.

Currently, Trump has already won 987 delegates, while Cruz and Kasich have respectively 562 and 153 delegates.

Walker Davis, a co-founder of the Princeton Against Cruz movement, noted that it is very atypical for presidential candidates to select a potential vice president before winning the nomination.

“Ted Cruz is realizing that his campaign is nearing an end and he’s picking people out of desperation,” Davis said.

However, Paul Draper ’18, president of Princeton College Republicans and the New Jersey state director of Millennials for Ted Cruz, said that though it is a bit unconventional to pick a running mate before the nomination is official, this election season has been unconventional

“Selecting Mrs. Fiorina as the running mate was a good choice not only because she is a highly-skilled and highlycredentialed leader, but also because it sets Senator Cruz’s campaign apart from the others,” Draper said, “I believe Senator Cruz chose Mrs. Fiorina because of her ability to clearly articulate conservative values.”

Fiorina will inject new energy into the Cruz campaign, he added. He also explained that young voters should look for candidates’ positions on issues such as job creations and student loan policies, which Cruz has sympathy for.

Draper further stated that while Fiorina has real business experience, Secretary Clinton “has built a career on professional politics and a history of diplomatic failures.”

However, Davis noted that Cruz is already mathematically eliminated from the race and that the decision is absurd.

“His campaign is so dead in the water, that the best partner he could find came in 7th in New Hampshire, failed in her Senate run, and destroyed HP with a disaster merger,” he said, “to put it simply, Ted’s a mess.”

Though selecting Fiorina as the Vice-Presidential nominee was a bold choice, that’s exactly what voters need from our President and Vice-President, Draper said.

“We need bold leadership,” he said.

Our perspective on the Wilson mural

n the wake of the protests this fall, President Eisgruber wrote Wilson College Head Eduardo Cadava, asking him to consider removing the image of Woodrow Wilson in the Wilcox dining hall. In response, Cadava asked students associated with Wilson College to volunteer for a committee to study the history of the mural and other iconography of Woodrow Wilson within Wilson College, and of the College in general, and to make a recommendation on the fate of that mural.

Last week, we, the members of that committee, submitted a consensus response to Cadava, indicating our recommendation that the mural be removed, contextualized with a plaque acknowledging the process leading up to its removal, and replaced by another piece of artwork reflecting the unique history of Wilson College.

On Wednesday, Cadava announced that he endorses our recommendation and will seek the replacement of the mural.

When President Eisgruber wrote to Cadava about the mural, it was in recognition of the fact that, whatever his personal views, the decision about something affecting primarily the community of Wilson College should be made by Wilson College, and not by the President or Broad of Trustees.

When Cadava asked for students to serve on the mural committee, it was in recognition of the fact that, regardless of his personal views on the matter, the input of the students — who live, eat and work in Wilcox hall — was essential to making a decision about the mural.

The decision-making process on the mural was thus student-driven from beginning to end: from the student activists who initiated this important conversation to the student committee members and the many other students whose input we sought through a public meeting earlier this month and through the many thoughtful written comments we received from other students.

What became clear as we studied the

history of the College was that, like the conversation about the mural, Wilson College owes its existence to student activists working towards a more accepting and inclusive University. Members of the committee spoke with Darwin Labarthe ’61, one of the students who created the original Woodrow Wilson Lodge. Labarthe and his peers founded the Lodge in 1957 (which would grow into the College, and eventually the residential college system) and led many students into it in the aftermath of the socalled “dirty bicker” of 1958 in which several students, many of them Jewish, were rejected by every eating club; at the time, no other upperclassman eating options existed.

Labarthe told us that he and his peers were at the time unaware of the deplorable aspects of Wilson’s legacy which have rightly been brought to light and condemned.

The name Wilson College was chosen for a very specific aspect of Wilson’s legacy: the vision – though it was not achieved in his lifetime – of a more inclusive system of residential colleges, allowing social and intellectual communities to prosper outside of the exclusive club system. As Wilson’s deplorable views and actions have been acknowledged (in a long-overdue process), the question becomes how to honor Wilson’s vision of inclusivity without embracing his prejudice, discrimination and paternalism.

The Black Justice League said this fall that “the way we lionize legacies set precedents.” Though the Trustees’ report does not mention the mural in particular, they note that the lack of diversity in campus iconography “perpetuates… a representation of Princeton that is not welcoming to members of the community who come from diverse backgrounds.” On the mural in particular, President Eisgruber noted in his letter to Cadava that the mural seems “unduly celebratory.”

We agree: How we remember the past matters. The mural is a relatively recent addition to Wilcox dining hall, added during the 2009 renovations. The photo of a

smiling Woodrow Wilson – absent any historical context – seems to celebrate the man rather than any particular of his ideas.

The members of the committee did not, and still do not, agree on everything — in fact, we had many discussions over the Trustee Committee’s recent decision to keep Wilson’s name on the College and the School which, despite being thoughtful and educational for all of us, ended in disagreement. But we do agree that the mural should be removed from Wilcox dining hall. Wilson should be remembered, but the mural is both “unduly celebratory,” and not in line with other campus iconography — it is the only image of comparable size anywhere on campus..

This was a long process. Cadava sought the input of busy students at the beginning of this semester, and arranging to hear and understand the viewpoints of all stakeholders while midterms were taken, majors were declared, theses were written, took more coordination with even more busy people. The mural is only a small part of the College, and we hold no illusions that its removal will cure the many structural and social inequities that still plague this school.

But symbols matter. Replacing the mural with something to honor Wilson College’s past, present and future in student activism and dissent says that student voices, too, matter, and that this college — our home — truly is ours.

Signed, The members of the Wilson Mural committee, Bennett McIntosh ’16 Mariachiara Ficarelli ’19 Zach Feig ’18 Allison Fleming ’18 Ghita Guessous ’17 Abigail Johnson ’16 Tyler Lawrence ’16 Denay Richards ’19 Caleb South ’19 Cara Yi ’19

The new deafening activism

ollege students in the United States are involved in political activism now more than any other time in the last 50 years. According to a recent survey conducted by UCLA, more students are committed to social justice now than since the height of the Civil Rights Movement. There’s a growing sense among undergraduates that they have a responsibility to contribute, to leave their mark upon something during their brief undergraduate years, to call attention to some wrong, to raise their voice for those who cannot speak up for themselves.

At times, students are so eager to contribute that they forget that their primary responsibility at the university is not to speak out, but to listen, to learn and to prepare for a life of work and service.

Universities love to brag about high studentfaculty ratio and discussion-based learning, but these emphasize the student’s role in displaying learning rather than receiving knowledge. They rest on the assumption that if a bunch of undergraduates who have skipped lecture and skimmed their sociology readings come together and try to impress the preceptor with their knowledge, they will end up more educated than if those same undergraduates closed their mouths and opened their ears to at least consider the ideas of a professor who has spent his life studying the material.

This tension is manifest in the fact that despite drastic increases in student activism, the UCLA study found that college freshmen today are more likely to support certain forms of restriction on free speech for potentially offensive speech and content. 43% of freshmen also supported colleges banning radical speakers, which is up from 25% in 1971. Political progressivism on col-

Luke Gamble columnist

lege campuses often coincides with polarization and an unwillingness to entertain or even allow for the vocalization of opposing views, liberal or conservative.

At the heart of the debate about free speech lies the relationship between defending one point of view and respecting the validity and possible veracity of an alternate point of view. Almost 100 years ago, British journalist G.K. Chesterton summarized the timeless difficulty surrounding free speech, “The theory of free speech, that truth is so much larger and stranger and more manysided than we know of, that it is very much better at all costs to hear every one’s account of it, is a theory which has been justified upon the whole by experiment, but which remains a very daring and even a very surprising theory.”

Chesterton reminds us of the importance of allowing other points of view and of having an appreciation for the subtlety of complex and sensitive issues. College activists are notorious for the passion and dedication they put into their causes. Not everyone takes part, but those who are involved are often fully invested. But in a university setting, often there is not a lack of voices, let alone of speakerphones, but a lack of ears. We arrive at our opinions too quickly and proceed to spend our time advocating for that point of view, never stopping to reconsider or fully listen to an opposing position.

Malcolm Gladwell, among others, has written about how often people make character judgments about others based off of initial impressions, but I wonder if the same isn’t true for

many of our most vociferously advocated beliefs.

I wonder if we could look back at how we initially came to a certain point of view, how many of our opinions would we realize we really decided in the first 30 seconds? Have we really considered the other side of the arguments we are so passionate about?

If Chesterton is right about the largeness, complexity and subtleness of truth, then it’s not only important that we are free to express our views and beliefs, but that in our inquiries we really listen to opposing views and do our due diligence in grasping why a person thinks and believes what they do. Rather than cowering from or silencing differing opinions, we engage with them, looking for what is right and valid.

In political activism this means that we aren’t at war with the opposition. The goal is to advocate, to call attention to an overlooked group or minority, not to stifle voices. In private debate, we can take it for granted that the other party has also done their fair share of reading and reflecting on the issue, and that more likely than not, their argument also makes lot of sense. In public, this means we don’t let our tolerance become intolerance.

We live in a pluralistic society with many different views and points of opinion. Unless we make a habit of taking other points of view seriously, all progress will be stifled. We’ll soon be embodying George Saunders’ harrowing vision of brain-dead megaphones, shouting louder and listening less. We’ll stop advocating and we’ll start advertising. If we don’t start listening, we will contribute less to the conversation.
