BEYOND THE BUBBLE

Laura Wooten, University staff member and longtime poll worker, dies at 98

By Taylor Sharbel Contributor

Laura Wooten, a University staff member and lifelong poll worker, died on March 24 at the age of 98.

Wooten worked as a meal card checker for the Butler and Wilson College dining halls for 27 years and was greatly beloved by her coworkers, as well as the students with whom she interacted.

The Mercer County Board of Elections confirmed that Wooten, who volunteered at every election since 1939, was the longest continuously serving poll worker in both Mercer County and the state of New Jersey. With 79 years of service, she is also believed to have been the longest continuously working poll worker in U.S. history.

Wooten’s funeral took place at 2 p.m. on Monday, April 1, at the University chapel. The service was led by Reverend William D. Carter of the First Baptist Church of Princeton.

“Blessed are those who conduct themselves like Mama Wooten,” Carter said at the beginning of his address, speaking before an audience that filled over half of the chapel pews.

During the service, individuals who knew Wooten during her lifetime read aloud letters of condolence.

“Laura Wooten committed herself to fairness in our election system and protecting everyone’s right to vote,” wrote New Jersey lieutenant

governor Sheila Oliver in a letter to the Wooten family.

Another letter of condolence to the family noted that Wooten would “be counted as one of the sages of our time.”

Wooten was born on Dec. 19, 1920, in Goldsboro, N.C., several months after women

were given the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th amendment.

When she was four years old, Wooten’s family moved to Princeton, where she grew up and graduated as a member of Princeton High School’s Class of 1939.

In an interview with the

University on Oct. 29, 2018, Wooten recalled a Nassau Street that was frequented by horses and carriages, as well as a trolley that ran from Witherspoon Street to the stores in Trenton.

Wooten also remembered a segregated Princeton. In particular, Princeton schools

Housing and Real Estate Services (HRES) is hosting a bedroom dormitory furniture fair in Frist Campus Center between April 1 and April 12.

The Princeton Police Department (PPD) has identified a suspect who scammed around $800 after entering three Nassau Street businesses and falsely claiming to be a “fire extinguisher inspector.” PPD had shared surveillance photos of the suspect through a Facebook post.

The PPD said in an updated version of the post that charges are pending and that the man would be in custody soon. They thanked all those who reached out and shared the post to identify the suspect.

The PPD deferred comment on the investigation to its press release and social media posts.

On March 23, the man entered Dunkin’, Small World Coffee, and the Bent Spoon and posed as a worker for “Metro Fire Prevention” — a fictitious company — which was

for the position of Princeton’s justice of the peace, encouraged her to volunteer.

From that point forward, she never missed an election.

In her interview with the University, Wooten shared her observations about the changes in American voting culture over the decades.

“At that time, quite a few people voted,” Wooten said.

“More than they do now.”

According to Wooten, the relatively higher turnout resulted from drivers visiting neighborhoods and taking people who otherwise would not have been able to vote to the polls.

“Voting is your voice,” Wooten said, encouraging

University students to vote.

“That’s the only way you’ll get changes.”

Wooten saw the direct impact of voting when she was at Princeton Medical Center, her place of employment for 18 years, until her retirement in 1988 at the age of 68.

When she first started working there, the hospital was segregated. The doctors and nurses were all white, and the hospital’s black employees either worked in the kitchens or the supply center.

Wooten worked in the latter.

Wooten said in her interview that she didn’t remember the exact year that everything changed, but that “voting changed all that.”

After the hospital was integrated, she became a nurse’s aide.

After retiring from Princ-

eton Medical Center, Wooten became employed as a food service worker in the Butler and Wilson College dining halls. She enjoyed this job so much that she often described it as play instead of work.

Wooten is survived by her sons, Chester Wooten, Jr., and Paul Wooten; daughters, Carolyn Love, Yvonne Hill, and Leola Wooten; grandchildren, Tamar Wooten, Chantal Wooten, Blitz Wooten, Keoke Wooten-Johnson, Ontrea DiNapoli, Dayla Simon, Tonia Fletcher, Trey Love, Lovette Stevens, Troy Love, Caasi Love, Adrienne R. Hill, Billie M. Hill, Leanna Wooten, Donyel Griffin, and Donovan Griffin; 31 greatgrandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

............. ity and increased storage capacity were identified as important,” Stillwagon wrote in an email to The Daily Princetonian. “The pieces that will be provided were designed to meet these goals.”

In an effort to encourage students to take part in the voting process, Stillwagon wrote, “we also paid a great deal of attention to the process used in selecting this final list of vendors … [and] sought out opportunities to include minority, women, and veteran-owned businesses.”

In addition, Stillwagon noted in the email that “the sustainable practices of each vendor were considered,” including choice in source materials, sustainable and environmentally friendly production lines, and efforts to recycle and minimize waste.

Students have already started providing feedback on the displayed collections and how they would impact student life in the future.

“I definitely think my concern is the lack of drawers on the desks,” Jose Garcia ’22 said. “But I really like the idea [of getting new furniture], and I really think we need it.”

Kavya Chaturvedi ’21 echoed Garcia’s sentiments, further emphasizing the importance of student feedback.

“I think a lot of our furniture might be outdated, and this is a nice way for us to give our input on new changes,” Chaturvedi said.

Stillwagon noted that students should review the accomodations, because “students will be the primary users of this furniture.”

“We want to garner as much student input as we can to ensure that the selected furniture meets the continually evolving needs of the Princeton student body,” Stillwagon wrote.

Vendor selection is set for May. Housing Services hopes to conduct a “field test” of the furniture during the summer of 2019. The ten-year installation period is set to begin in the summer of 2020, according to the current schedule.

The problem with college admissions: a system that perpetuates economic inequality Shannon Chaffers

Contributing Columnist

The recent college admissions scandal, which continues to captivate the nation’s attention, has laid bare the issues that have festered at the heart of college admissions for many years. The government’s indictment of parents who illegally manipulated their children’s applications makes clear how wealthy parents obsess on the prestige of certain colleges.

It appears that implicated parents wanted their kids to attend schools such as Yale, Stanford, and the University of Southern California, not because they believed those schools offered the best educational opportunities, but because they communicated a certain level of achievement to other families.

And in reality, that prestige is the only benefit these families would get from placing their kids in top-tier institutions, as recent research shows that attending a prestigious institution has a negligible effect on the economic outcomes of the richest in America. That same research, however, shows that an Ivy League-caliber education can have a considerable positive effect on students from low-income backgrounds. Despite this reality, children of parents who are in the top 1 percent of earners are 77 times more likely to attend

an Ivy League school than children of parents who are in the bottom quintile of earners.

People hold up the United States as a place where all children have equal opportunity to succeed. In today’s society, in which education plays a crucial role in one’s prospects for success, that means colleges and universities play a significant role in making this vision a reality. They therefore have a responsibility to promote social mobility. They must be accessible to all Americans. Statistics show they have failed to be so.

The University and its peer institutions currently have student bodies that are not representative of the United States. A 2017 study found that only 2.2 percent of Princeton students come from families in the bottom 20 percent of income earners, while 72 percent come from families who are in the top 20 percent. Children of upper-class families reap the rewards of an Ivy League-caliber education at much greater rates than children from lowincome backgrounds.

One might argue that it is not a university’s responsibility to worry about how its admission practices allow for the continuation of class inequality. They should just determine who has the best grades, test scores, and résumés and admit those people.

But colleges cannot function in a vacuum. Doing so only perpetuates the status quo that exacerbates income inequality by privileging the wealthy —

who can afford private schools and SAT prep and college counselors — at the expense of everyone else.

The University and peer institutions have immense power to promote social mobility in the United States. For Princeton’s class of 2013, 66 percent of students who were from the bottom fifth of the income ladder moved up to the top fifth of earners. Thus, for children from low-income families, access to an Ivy League-caliber education makes a large difference in their economic prospects.

Yet from 2001 to 2011, the number of students from the bottom fifth of earners at Ivy League schools has stagnated.

Low-income students have been consistently shut out of one of the most effective ways to rise up the socioeconomic ladder, and if equality of opportunity is ever to truly exist in the United States, toptier universities like Princeton need to be more proactive in increasing access of education to more people.

Policies such as affirmative action show that colleges do recognize their responsibility to reduce the inequalities in society. It shows they understand the historic injustices people of color have faced, and their ability and responsibility to help right those wrongs.

The continued prominence of practices such as legacy admissions, however, shows they have yet to seriously consider the full extent of the effort they must put forth if they want to

achieve this goal. Princeton’s Class of 2022 has almost twice as many legacy students as black students. Legacy admissions tend to favor the wealthy.

It plays a significant factor in how current socioeconomic inequalities are reproduced, and thus acts as a hindrance to the social mobility colleges should promote. Eliminating the program all together, or limiting the role legacy status plays in admissions, would show a true commitment to achieving such social mobility.

Additionally, the University can follow in the steps of its peer institutions, which offer diversity open houses that target prospective low-income students and students of color during the application process.

These programs give underrepresented students a window into life on campus. Implementing such a program here would show a commitment to increasing access and mobility.

The facts are clear: accepting students from low-income backgrounds can help alleviate the ever-growing income inequality that exists in America. The question is: are schools like Princeton willing to challenge the status quo and make the education they offer accessible to low-income Americans? If we want education to serve as the path up the socioeconomic ladder, the answer needs to be yes.

Sharing the blame for the opioid epidemic Morgan Lucey Columnist

The state of New York recently announced that it would investigate and launch a lawsuit against the Sackler family, whose members control Purdue Pharma, the company that produces OxyContin, for manipulating the public’s perception of prescription painkillers and contributing to the hundreds of thousands of deaths that have resulted from opioid addiction. Although the Sackler family, as well as pharmaceutical companies, have played a crucial role in the opioid epidemic, this investigation bypasses another party that is equally to blame: the physicians who have overprescribed addictive painkillers.

The Sacklers’ culpability is difficult to contest. They allegedly helped pharmacies circumvent monthly limits on prescription painkillers to increase opioid-driven profits. Similarly, members of the Sackler family are accused of creating misleading marketing campaigns that glossed over the risk of painkillers.

When the investigation was first announced, implicated members transferred large amounts of money to offshore accounts, in an attempt to protect their assets.

Thus, it is clear that the Sackler family has abused its position as owner of Purdue Pharma and has contributed significantly to the opioid crisis. Accordingly, its members should be punished.

Purdue Pharma’s abuse, however, would not have been possible without compliance from the physicians who prescribe painkillers.

From 1999 to 2017, over 218,000 people in the US died from prescription painkiller overdoses. Another 200,000

people died from illegal painkiller (such as heroin) abuse; such addictions often stem from initial legal painkiller abuse. The sheer number of victims suggests that physicians’ prescriptive abuse is widespread and systematic.

One cause of systematic over-prescription is physicians’ misunderstanding of how chronic pain should be managed. Rather than adopting a holistic approach to treat the causes of chronic pain, many physicians fall back on the quick fix of opioid painkillers.

Some observers have suggested that doctors receive insufficient education on pain management in medical school, particularly in regard to alternatives to opioids.

Such systematic over-prescription likely stems from a lack of understanding, rather than immoral aims. Pharmaceutical companies provide other incentives, such as luxury conferences and gifts, to physicians who prescribe their products, further compounding to the epidemic.

I am not suggesting that the lawsuit against the Sackler family should be redirected towards physicians: the Sackler family and the involved pharmaceutical companies should certainly be punished for their role in the opioid epidemic. Alongside this punishment, however, physicians’ prescriptive practices must change. This approach towards the opioid crisis has received little attention in a public sphere largely focused on punishing pharmaceutical companies and their wealthy CEOs. Many of our peers will soon attend medical school and be in a position to effect these changes. One remedy may take the form of courses in medical school and continuing education programs solely focused on pain management, so that physicians have a better understanding of when prescribing opioids is

CHARLOTTE ADAMO / THE DAILY PRINCETONIAN

appropriate. One might argue that a pain management curriculum is not as important as traditional medical classes, such as immunology or experiential clinical courses. The importance of such an expansive education, however, extends beyond the opioid epidemic.

Members of racial minorities often experience significant bias when they visit doctors for help with managing chronic pain. Such concerns are sometimes not taken seriously. Thus, it is clear that in many regards, doctors need to be better educated on the circumstances in which any patient may or may not need painkillers.

Another solution might be

a system that allows for more time with patients in order to foster better communication, so that suspicious requests for more painkillers can be recognized as such.

In today’s healthcare system, when physicians often spend only a few minutes with a patient, it can be easy to miss patterns that suggest addiction and abuse, such as repeated visits in a short period of time or drastic weight loss.

Even ten extra minutes with a patient might allow a doctor to pick up on these signs and shift treatment towards addiction rather than pain.

The opioid epidemic has not subsided in recent years, despite increased recognition of the patterns that led to it in

the first place. Our response to the crisis has largely only targeted those in charge of the implicated pharmaceutical companies. To create lasting and widespread changes, the efforts need to spread beyond this small percentage of complicit individuals, to include the physicians who are responsible for prescribing opioids. If we reach physicians successfully, then pharmaceutical companies will finally be unable to increase their profits at Americans’ expense.

Men’s tennis defeats Penn 5–2 in Ivy League opener, moves to 17-6 overall

By Elah Zohar Contributor

For the Princeton men’s tennis team (17–6 overall, 1–0 Ivy League), it’s good to be home: following a threematch West Coast trip, the Tigers returned to Princeton and began Ivy League play on a warm Saturday afternoon with a close win against the University of Pennsylvania (16–6, 0–1 Ivy).

The Tigers entered Ivy League play with a 16–6 overall record, most recently squaring off against Wichita State, San Diego, and Harvard in San Diego, where they won one of three matches. Being back home, however, seems to be more conducive to winning.

“Weather like this and being able to play in our beautiful outdoor venue bodes well for us,” head coach Billy Pate said. “Princeton people seem to want to get out and cheer, so it was great to have that spirit.”

With multiple matches coming down to the wire, it was clear that Princeton needed to have that spirit if they wanted to come out with a victory over the 48thranked Quakers. The Tigers’ doubles matches gave the team an early advantage before heading into singles play. Despite an opening 6–3

loss for freshman Karl Poling and sophomore Damian Rodriguez in the second doubles slot, Princeton rebounded with two consecutive wins to win doubles play. Freshman duo Justin Barki and Bill Duo won six games in a row after losing in the first set to win 6–1, and sophomore Ryan Seggerman and junior Payton Holden came back from a 3–5 disadvantage to win 7–6.

“The third doubles slot is always hard to predict, but we played really well as a team. Bill [Duo] helped me so much on the doubles court, and we were able to step up after losing the first game,” Barki said.

Despite the advantage from the doubles victories, the game was still very much up for grabs — Princeton needed to win three of the six singles matches to take the victory. Karl Poling (7–6, 6–2) and Bill Duo (6–1, 6–4) won in two sets each to put the Tigers in the driver’s seat.

Damian Rodriguez (4–6, 6–1, 6–4) was then able to clinch the victory with his threeset battle in the third-singles slot, earning him the match ball. Payton Holden (1–6, 7–6, 6–2) put the icing on the cake soon after with another victory, putting Princeton on top of Penn, 5–2 in matches.

Emotions were high across all the match-ups, leading to

points of controversy and argument regarding line calls in particular. There were multiple stoppages across the matches, in which players from both sides disputed line calls made by the opponent or umpire. At points, coaches even intervened to settle disagreements. For a conference matchup with Penn, however, such contention is nothing new.

“Princeton’s rivalry with Penn goes back a little bit since we’re just up the road from each other. [The Ivy League] also doesn’t have a conference tournament, so you’re playing to win the league so all the matches are very close and highly contested,” Pate said.

The Tigers, now 1–0 in conference play, will host two more Ivy League matches

next week against Dartmouth on Saturday and Harvard on Sunday, both of which the coach expects to be just as intense.

“The [Ivy] League has never been this deep,” Pate said.

“There are probably at least six teams vying for an NCAA tournament at-large berth, and we’re going to keep doing everything we can to come out on top.”

Women’s golf wins individual, team championships at Harvard Invitational

By Owen Tedford Senior Sports Writer

Last weekend, the women’s golf team traveled to Florida for the Harvard Invitational and carded 880, its best three-round event score in program history.

The Tigers’ previous best rounds were the 884 they had at Old Dominion’s Princess Anne Invitational this fall and an 889 at Penn State’s Nittany Lion Invitational in the fall of 2017.

This year marks the second time in three years that Princeton has won the event. Princeton dominated in the event, shooting +16 to win by 11 shots over co-runners-up Penn and Harvard. The field included six of the seven Ivy League teams; Cornell does not have a team.

The Tigers had several noteworthy individual performances, including from sophomore Anabelle Chang and junior Maya Walton, who finished first and second overall and shot -4 and -3, respectively. They were two of four players under par in the tournament.

Walton had her first career hole-in-one in Sunday’s round, as well as holing in an eagle in Saturday’s play.

Walton commented that even though she did not see

the ball go in, she heard shouting from around the green and then realized she had sunk it on the par 3 sixth hole from 137 yards with her 7 iron.

shot +20 and +23, respectively, to finish 32nd and tied for 35th, respectively.

Princeton has experienced a successful 2018– 2019 season thus far, as this Invitational was their third team stroke-play win. The first two came this fall, at the Towson Invitational in September and the Brown Invitational in October.

This was Princeton’s second stroke-play tournament of the spring, since the Tigers played at the Valspar Augusta Invitational two weeks ago, against a number of the nation’s best teams.

Up next for the Tigers is the Match Madness event at Fox Hollow in Branchburg, New Jersey, which Princeton hosts. Earlier this season, the Tigers played a match-play tournament at Ball State’s event, in which they beat James Madison and Florida Atlantic and were defeated by St. Leo (Fla.).

Afterward, Princeton will play in the Ivy League Championship at The Ridge at Back Brook in Ringoes, New Jersey. The Tigers will be looking to defend their title and win the Ivy League title again for a three-peat.

This win would send Princeton back to the NCAA regionals, in which they have become regulars.
