23 town residents join taxexemption suit against U.

Farmer’s Market to become more sustainable

COURESY OF PRINCETON.EDU

By Marcia Brown staff writer

By Hannah Waxman staff writer

23 residents in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood of downtown Princeton have joined a lawsuit filed against the University’s tax-exempt status on April 1.

Every year by April 1, a new suit has to be filed to continue the preexisting proceedings, Bruce Afran, an attorney who represents the plaintiffs, said.

The original suit was filed in 2011 by several residents of Princeton, and was subsequently challenged by the University in February 2015, but was overturned by Judge Vito Bianco of the New Jersey State Tax Court.

Bianco’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Robert Durkee ’69, University vice president and secretary, wrote in an email that neither the University nor the tax management office have received filing of the update to the new suit yet.

He declined to comment

further until such information is provided.

Media relations specialist Min Pullan and General Counsel Ramona Romero did not respond to a request for comment.

The New Jersey Tax Court clarified in November 2015 that the University must carry a burden of proof to ensure tax exemption. The trial for the suit is set to take place in October 2016, but Afran noted that reaching a conclusion will take much longer.

Afran said that filmmaker Greg Moore and former Princeton Borough Mayor and Witherspoon-Jackson resident Yina Moore had initially informed him that residents of the neighborhood wanted to join as plaintiffs.

Both Greg and Yina Moore did not respond to a request for comment.

“This particular neighborhood has had unreasonably high taxes, and those have come about because gentrification of some of the housing in the neighborhood,”

Afran said.

Most people in this area are not high-income, so the tax burden in the town is hitting the WitherspoonJackson neighborhood even harder than almost anywhere else in the community, he added.

“Although the University is not responsible for the tax increases, its position of not properly contributing to the tax base is hurting the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood much more than anyone else,” he said.

Afran noted that the addition of plaintiffs serves as a statement of injustice on the University’s tax position.

However, it might not necessarily affect the case considerably, he added.

In a previous interview with the Daily Princetonian, Afran said that the University jointly owns 20 private businesses and is engaged in commercial enterprises such as real estate, restaurants and pharmaceuticals.

The Office of Sustainability, aided by multiple undergraduate and graduate students, will launch the 2016 Farmer’s Market on April 13 with new sustainability guidelines.

According to Lisa Nicolaison, program coordinator at the Office of Sustainability, the market will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Firestone Library/Chapel Plaza every Wednesday until May 11.

The Office of Sustainability and the student organizers for the farmer’s market created strict sustainability guidelines for feature vendors, according to Nicolai-

The vendors must only sell locally produced food, which is defined as produce grown within a 50-mile radius of the town of Princeton. Some exceptions are made for produce grown within 100 miles. The produce sold must also be grown and produced in a sustainable way and obtain USDA certification, according to a document provided

Former men’s lacrosse head coach Chris Bates has been fired by the University for elbowing a Brown University player when the Tigers visited the Bears last Saturday.

Bates declined to comment.

A Princeton Athletic Communications statement issued on Wednesday noted that following a University review of the incident, Bates is no longer employed by the University.

In his place, men’s lacrosse offensive coordinator Matt Madalon will assume the head coach position.

The incident occurred during the first possession of the second half against the Bears. Brown entered the half with a 7-6 edge over Princeton. After the Bears won the face-off, Brown short-stick defensive mid-

Princeton midfielder Austin deButts ’16 then collided into Yozzo-Scaperrotta, sending the Brown player to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Yozzo-Scaperrotta was substituted out of the game.

As the Brown midfielder entered the substitution box on his way out, Bates – as seen on video footage of the game – elbowed his way into Yozzo-Scaperrotta.

Bates then walked away as Yozzo-Scaperrottaa paused to look at the former head coach. The game’s officials did not observe the incident at the time, so gameplay did not pause.

At the game’s conclusion, the Bears outscored Princeton 12-2 and remain unbeaten in the Ivy League.

actions that endanger the University’s tax exemption status, he said.

Early this February, Bianco ruled against the University in a separate lawsuit case regarding tax exemptions. In that lawsuit, the University attempted to dismiss a lawsuit that challenges its tax-exemptions on 19 buildings, including Frist Campus Center and McCarter Theatre.

The series of challenges to

the University’s tax-exempt status could have state and national effects on the taxexempt status of peer institutions, Durkee said in a previous interview with the Daily Princetonian.

According to Durkee, the trial concerning legal questions of tax-exemption in that case was originally scheduled for June 2016 but was moved to October 2016.

The University would be expected to pay close to $40 million per year in taxes if the plaintiff wins in the lawsuit, Afran said in a previous interview.

U., DHS, Attorney’s office all unaware of the logo resemblance UNNJ

Continued from page 1

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

forcement began the operation in September 2013, which involved creating UNNJ, supposedly located in Cranford, N.J., according to a statement provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Throughout the duration of the scheme, UNNJ maintained a professional website, a Facebook page and a Twitter account.

Undercover DHS agents posed as UNNJ administrators, and were communicating with the defendants who allegedly had facilitated and recruited foreign national clients to enroll in UNNJ and fraudulently maintain student visa status in exchange for “commissions.”

In exchange for providing these services to these clients, defendants were given monetary rewards ranging between $1,000-1,500 per student, the statement said.

Under normal circumstances, accredited universities are able to issue F-1 Student Status, commonly referred to as student visas, by certifying that a foreign individual had been accepted to a school and would be a full-time student.

“Paul didn’t just grab his alma mater’s logo and slap it on UNNJ.” William Skaggs,

Spokesperson for U. S. Attorney for new Jersey district Paul Fisherman ‘78

In this case, the statement noted that the defendants involved with UNNJ had admitted to undercover agents that none of their foreign national clients would attend actual courses, earn credits or obtain a legitimate degree.

The defendants allegedly assisted their clients by creating fake student records. This included forging transcripts, attendance records, diplomas, false contracts and employment verification letters, all of which were signed and stamped by the UNNJ agents, the statement explained.

Additionally, the defendants had allegedly used UNNJ as a channel to obtain work authorization and work visas for hundreds of clients, the statement read.

“The schools are nothing more than sham visa mills. They have no curriculum, no classes, no instructors and no real students. These purported schools and their corrupt administrators simply give out I-20 forms in exchange for payment,” Fishman noted in a press conference on Tuesday.

Alvin Phillips, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations spokesman, said he recognized parallels between the two designs, although he wasn’t aware of the similarities before. However, he noted that the two designs are nevertheless

The Daily Princetonian

distinct.

“Our staff reviewed many shield designs throughout the process of UNNJ development.

Although the shield may be similar to Princeton or other universities, they are indeed different,” Phillips said.

Phillips explained that in addition to differences in color schemes, UNNJ’s logo has a different winding, as well as a different inscription, compared to the University’s.

While the University’s logo bears the Latin motto “Dei Sub Numine Viget,” the school’s logo bears an inscription “Humanus, Scientia, Integritas.”

William Skaggs, a spokesperson for Fishman in the U.S. Attorney’s Office, stated that his office was not responsible for designing the logo that bore “uncanny resemblance” to that of the University’s and was not aware of the resemblance before.

The office is only prosecuting the case, Skaggs said, adding that Fishman did not participate in the scheme through any other capacity.

“Paul didn’t just grab his alma mater’s logo and slap it on UNNJ,” he said.

The 21 defendants may face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each charge of conspiracy to commit visa fraud and making a false statement, according to the statement. The students enrolled at UNNJ do not face charges, but may be deported in the near future.

In the press conference, Fishman said fraudulent student visa schemes are a national threat. ““Pay to Stay’ schemes not only damage our perception of legitimate student and foreign worker visa programs, they also pose a very real threat to national security,” said Fishman.

He added that he was proud of the work that the HSI and his office did.

“Today’s arrests, which were made possible by the great undercover work of our law enforcement partners, stopped brokers, recruiters and employers across multiple states who recklessly exploited our immigration system for financial gain,” he added.

The logo, first created in 1896 when the University changed its name from The College of New Jersey to Princeton University, features a orange-and-black bicolored shield in the center and an open Bible containing the phrase “VET NOV TESTAMENTUM.” The University’s latin motto surrounds the shield’s bottom part, and the entire logo is encircled by the phrase “sigillum universitatis princetoniensis,” meaning “the seal of Princeton University.”

In a December 2012 interview with the Daily Princetonian, Laurel Cantor, University creative director with the Office of Communications, noted that the University uses a smaller version of the shield on the Internet with inscriptions too small to be legible to ”make it harder to pirate the trademark.”

She added while anyone in the Princeton community can request permission to use the shield, commercial use of the logo requires approval by the University’s trademark licensing office.

Vendors to only sell food produced within 50-mile radius from the town MARKET Continued from page 1

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

fice was still working to finalize paperwork for three or four more vendors.

Nicolaison said that the Office has no input on the prices vendors set in the market, and that the vendors are responsible for making their own profit since the University does not pay them to attend. She also said that almost all of what vendors supply is seasonal.

“The prices are reasonable in comparison to all the markets in the area and compared to a supermarket as well,” she said. “It depends on where you shop and the types of items you get are what you’d find at Whole Foods which are expensive, but I think for what you’re getting the value is right.”

Nicolaison added that although the market is affordable if students budget correctly, she can see why the prices may be a concern for students.

This year, the student organizers and the Office of Sustainability aimed to have new initiatives in the market such as visiting speakers and different publicity efforts.

“We wanted it to be more populated with students and faculty and raise awareness on campus,” Kira Keating ’18, a student organizer of the farmer’s market, said.

Nicolaison said that guest speakers, including some from University campus dining, would give interactive, hands-on talks and presentations for an hour under the main tent during the market. Food samples will occasionally be given out.

“We thought it shouldn’t be just about food, Farmer’s Market already is more than just about food but as I mentioned multiple times we like to see a community come together around food,” Rozalie Czesana ’18, another organizer of the initiative, said.

Nicolaison said that there will also be tables available for sustainability student groups on campus to dis-

play their works.

Anastas Belev ’16, another student organizer, said that the market needed more student volunteers to help set up the market. Belev has been involved in the market since his sophomore year and said that the University has been supportive of the effort by granting the market funding and allowing it to take place in the Firestone/Chapel Plaza.

The biggest role is to get funding for the market, since there isn’t a fund associated with it right now, said KatieAnna Wolf GS, a graduate student organizer of the market project.

“I love going to farmer’s markets,” Wolf said. “I’m a huge gardener, and I like to eat lots of produce. I’ve been going to the town farmer’s market since I’ve been going here five years ago.”

Wolf said that she hopes the market to become an ODUS group as this will provide an additional channel of funding. She further noted the significance of the message sent through the market.

“Eating local is not just about quality but about the environmental impact, organic production, how the food is grown and the transport required for non-local foods,” she said.

“We really want to focus on getting local farms and businesses to the campus so students can be more aware about eating locally,” Keating said. “It’s kind of like bringing the whole campus and community together.”

Nicolaison explained that the University-led market changed the event dates to spring from winter so they would not overlap with the town’s market. She added that the University and town advertise each other’s market and share similar vendors.

“We don’t want to compete, we want to make sure there’s always an opportunity to have access to fresh, local, organic, natural food choices,” Nicolaison said.

“I believe the town market feels the same way.”

The first Farmer’s Market at the University began in 2007.

crosse, Bates led the team to three Ivy League championships and two NCAA tournament appearances.

This season, following the graduation of Ivy League co-Player of the Year Mike MacDonald ’15 and first-team All-Ivy League selection Kip Orban ’15, the Tigers have stumbled to a 2-6 season record.

To move forward, the Tigers will remain united under interim head coach Madalon and the team’s four senior captains. Madalon said that through the chaos of recent developments, his top priority is to “take care of our guys for the next few games.”

Princeton will host three upcoming games against Stony Brook, Lehigh and Dartmouth.

The Daily Princetonian

Despite the doubts and challenges, Madalon said that he remains optimistic. The interim head coach defended his team, saying, “We’re a better team than our record shows.”

Senior Associate Director of Athletics Jerry Price noted his sympathy with the Tigers.

“I think everyone recognizes it is a very difficult few days. The fact that there are now three games in eight days, it will give the team a chance to do what they do best,” he said.

According to the Princeton Athletic Communications statement, a national search for a permanent head coach will be held at the conclusion of the season.

For now, the Tigers will attempt to hold their heads high and protect their home field, said Madalon. The team will take it one step at a time, Madalon added.

Subsidized access to recruiting for nonprofits Ryan Dukeman

vol. cxl

columnist

A

S MARNI Morse argued in her most recent column, a substantial barrier to many Princeton students pursuing internships or jobs in the nonprofit sector isn’t a lack of will, but rather a lack of access. Within the specific context of arguing for subsidized NJ Transit tickets for students, she wrote that it would especially benefit students who have to travel to New York or Philadelphia for interviews with nonprofits, since these organizations often can’t reimburse the cost of transportation. In turn, applying for those jobs and internships would become more feasible for low-income students and more palatable for students of all income levels.

Funding for the internships themselves is obviously the most critical feature in expanding access to unpaid internships, and broadly speaking the University succeeds tremendously in this area with programs like the Student Activities Funding Engine and departmental funding, as well as other resources for internships and special projects. This column is not to say that the University is failing students who want to work in the nonprofit sector, especially compared to many of its peers.

However, if the University truly wants to expand access to nonprofit internships and careers and make recruitment for these roles more comparable to the recruiting efforts performed by other (largely paid) industries, it should seek to tackle head-on the further barriers to access that, on the margin, work to stop talented students from pursuing careers in the social sector.

I believe Marni is right in this context to argue for subsidized NJ Transit tickets, but I believe her contention should be generalized to include a broader fund for students with barriers-to-access problems for nonprofit recruiting. Students with interviews

in the nonprofit sector or with application fees for fellowships and other programs could apply to this fund for small-dollar funding to pay for the associated, incidental costs of going through the recruiting process. These applications would be very brief, commensurate with the low level of funding needed, and could thus be subject to much quicker turnaround times than formal thesis research or internship funding applications currently are. This would allow both for more students to consider working in the social sector, and for students who do apply for positions in this sector, to apply for a greater number of roles, better allowing them to match their talents to a place that needs them.

While this argument of course applies best on the margins, that is not to say that its impact is theoretical or minimal. Any time a student decides to take another interview with a nonprofit that requires them to travel, or applies to another opportunity, the chance is higher that they will end up working in that sector and being matched with an opportunity that best suits them.

By making the application and recruiting process similar to that of the private sector then, on the margin, it is likely a few more talented Princeton students each summer and each year at graduation would be going into overrepresented industries and into the social sector than do otherwise. This benefit, while relatively small compared to most policy changes advocated in student opinion columns, would be far from trivial to the people and causes directly and positively impacted by the presence of more well-trained, motivated Princeton students working in the social space . This could also include an expansion of the Princeternship Program, which allows students to shadow an alumni practitioner in their field for between one and five days over a break.

This program, while greatly beneficial to students looking to explore varied career options they may not otherwise have experienced before, currently is contingent on the student’s ability to pay for the costs.

Even funding these programs around the edges (such as paying for travel to the city, or transportation to the work site, if not funding all costs of the stay) would make this a dramatically more attractive and accessible option for students, and open them up to new career opportunities, especially in the public and social sectors.

Finally, the fact that a lot of this money would go to students who aren’t necessarily too financially disadvantaged to not be able to afford the costs otherwise is still not an argument that we should not provide them this opportunity at a subsidized cost. Over the last decade, the percentage of graduating seniors going into finance, for instance, has declined to around 25 percent for the Class of 2014, from a peak of about 45 percent for the Class of 2006. Therefore, there is clearly a growing interest among the student population in pursuing alternative career paths, and Princeton’s resources, rather than focus on further developing that interest, could be better used removing barriers to access for students who are interested in such career options. The magnitude of this shift amounts to hundreds of students who could potentially benefit from access to opportunity programs for jobs and/or internships in the public and social sectors, and any improvement in such programs, even marginal like paying for transportation, could help connect talented Princeton students with public or social employers that could benefit greatly from their work.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Hillary Clinton’s Missing Glamor Kennedy O’Dell

guest contributor

Editor’s Note: This article does not represent the views of the ‘Prince’.

T

HERE IS no denying it – Hillary Clinton is not the candidate of the liberal youth of America.

Her monochromatic pantsuits, past affair with the White House and establishment credentials just don’t agree with the exhausted liberal idealists who wait for change. These weary idealists no longer believe that the entrenched liberal elite with their big pocket books and years of political backrooms deserve the job of governing. Instead of the typical bearer of the Democratic Party line who has patiently waited her turn, voters are turning to a rogue Vermont senator with a sweeping plan for economic reform and a penchant for talking with his hands.

Oddly enough, the characteristics that make Hillary the stronger candidate are the same characteristics that make some voters turn away. Why are a large percentage of liberals so adamant that Bernie has a better plan?

For those voters, candidate preference is less about experience and more

about ideals. Bernie is the candidate of lofty progressive dreams. He’s inherently attractive to Democrats for the precise reason he can’t be President: he is a liberal fantasy. Jim Webb picked up on this in one of the early Democratic primary debates when he frankly told Bernie that he didn’t think “the revolution” was coming. Bernie’s lofty dreams of an inwardly focused, economically equal country where everyone goes to college for free are beautiful to an extent, but then we have to wake up. When Bernie hits a predominantly Republican Congress, an interconnected global economy and moderate Democrats like a brick wall, it’s going to be hard to stay asleep.

It comes as no surprise, then, that support of the Democratic establishment, who has dealt and continues to deal with political reality, does not lend support to Hillary. In fact, in some caucuses, the establishment has hurt her.

Still, she boasts endorsements from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Planned Parenthood and the National Education Association, along with support from liberals over the age of 45.

Hillary is the most experienced candidate for President that the Democratic Party has seen in quite a while. Her tenures as Secretary of State, U.S. Senator and an activist First Lady have given her an incredible breadth and depth of political knowledge. She is not a simple “interventionist” as some liberals would cast her, she has a strong, nuanced foreign policy vision, developed and refined over time and through circumstance. Her domestic policy credentials come from her time as Senator and First Lady. She has battled just like Sanders on the Senate floor, and she knows exactly what it’s like to try for years to move a resistant Congress (let’s not forget the healthcare battle of the 1990s). This experience uniquely equips Hillary to not just gain support amongst liberals, but to actually govern the country.

That being said, Bernie can campaign.

He can tell liberals what they want to hear – free college for everyone, a totally new and improved healthcare system and a better distribution of wealth. But the odds of Bernie accomplishing any of his policies, given the current political

makeup of Congress, are low. Achieving any of these goals takes finesse, experience and bipartisanship. Hillary is the only candidate who embodies all three of these qualities. Bernie may be able to campaign, but Hillary can govern.

Standing in front of a crowd to draw from experience and talk about political reality isn’t nearly as popular as declaring the world unfair. In an election in which voters are enamored with ideas and impossibilities, governing isn’t glamorous. Liberal governing is the quiet and thankless task of keeping our country together and headed in a liberal direction. For this task, Hillary is undoubtedly the best candidate. She may not sparkle and inspire the way Bernie and his revolution do, but reality doesn’t sparkle either. It’s time we remembered that the President isn’t just an ideologue, but the governor of our country. When weary idealists remember that experience and political reality matter, they may just change their vote.

Baseball looks to continue hot streak

by Beverly Schaefer :: Staff Photographer and Heather Grace :: Staff Photographer This past weekend, the Princeton baseball team kicked off their Ivy League season in truly outstanding fashion. First, the Tigers edged out Dartmouth in back-to-back games on Saturday, winning the first match 2-1 and the second 9-8 in extra innings. Next, Princeton walloped Harvard in two Sunday matches, defeating the Crimson 4-1 in the first game of the doubleheader and pulling off a 14-5 drubbing to finish off a remarkably successful weekend. Princeton fell to Monmouth University 3-7 this afternoon, but will continue their Ivy League season next weekend when they embark on a road trip to face Yale and Brown.

PAGES DESIGNED BY HARRISON BLACKMAN :: STREET EDITOR

THE FOOD ISSUE Around the World on Nassau Street This week, ‘Street’ presents its annual and highly-anticipated “Food Issue.” For this year’s issue, we realized that Nassau Street and the Princeton area offer a grand variety of international cuisine, so we compared traditional dishes from around the globe. The chosen dishes hail from Italian, Mediterranean, South Asian, Chinese and Japanese cooking traditions.

SPANAKOPITA AND BAKLAVA: MAMOUN’S FALAFEL VS. OLIVES TAYLOR KANG Contributor

N

estled right next to each other on Witherspoon Street, Mamoun’s Falafel and Olives are two of the most popular establishments for Mediterranean cuisine in Princeton. I reviewed and compared two traditional Greek dishes from each restaurant to see how they measured up: spanakopita, or spinach pie, and baklava, a dessert pastry filled with nuts.

First up, I trekked down past Small World Coffee and stopped

by Mamoun’s.

Mamoun’s Falafel Mamoun’s is a regional chain, and its first location opened in Greenwich Village in 1971, and it has been catering to New Yorkers’ cravings for all things falafel ever since. According to their website, they claim to be the oldest Middle Eastern restaurant in New York. As for its Princeton location, it opened its doors in 2014.

Upon entering, Mamoun’s is a long, narrow room that offers a sit-down or takeout dining experience, depending on the customer’s preference. There’s ample room to sit and eat, so

Mamoun’s can be a nice place to grab a meal with a friend or two.

Shortly after I ordered, a spinach pie priced at $3.00 arrived on the counter with a shout, “Order 66!” On my paper tray were two triangular pies.

With a thin layer of dark, crisp spinach sandwiched between two layers of golden-brown crust and served with a side of bright pink radish, the restaurant’s take on the Greek staple proved a visual feast. However, the flavor itself fell short. The spinach tasted smoky, almost burnt, and the pastry, which seemed crisp and flaky upon first glance, proved deceptively dry. Mamoun’s spanakopita just wasn’t for me.

I hoped its baklava, also priced at $3.00, would make up for the disappointing entrée.

Although it wasn’t spectacular, it was surprisingly yummy. A small square of thick pastry with a thin filling of chopped nuts and syrup, the dessert was tasty, though a bit dry. Happily, I was satisfied.

Olives I then proceeded to its neighbor, Olives. Olives is more of a

Whereas Mamoun’s was all booths and tables with a register in the back, Olives dedicates most of its room to its rotating selection of Greek and vegetarian options, an assortment that the establishment prides itself on.

Olives’ spanakopita, at $5.50, was a bit pricier than Mamoun’s, though understandably so. Rather than being served as two triangles, Olives’ spinach pie is a large, dense square, which you have the option of being heated before purchase.

I chose to have my spanakopita cold, and it almost seemed better because it was chilled.

There were other factors, too, of course: the filling was deliciously thick and creamy and seemed to have much more feta than the one from Mamoun’s; the crust, though lacking in the golden-brown color and crispy texture of its rival’s dish, struck the perfect chord between soft and crispy.

I then moved on to the baklava, which Olives sells for $2.75,

though it’s half the size of Mamoun’s.

When I unwrapped the packaging, the filling had oozed out of the pastry, making it seem almost wet. Based on presentation, I expected it to be a disharmon ious stacking of dry and soggy layers, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the baklava consistently moist and soft.

SAMOSAS: MASALA GRILL VS. MEHEK ANDIE AYALA Staff Writer

I

t’s a late Saturday afternoon and while making the long-delayed trek to CVS, your stomach begins to growl incessantly, as if punishing you for the seemingly eternal stretch between brunch and dinner on the weekend. You try to hush it with the smashed apple shoved at the bottom of your backpack — but alas, a mere apple was not enough to quiet the ravenous monster that is a college appetite. You need something heftier, something more flavorful and fulfilling, yet not quite enough to constitute as a meal.

Then, the tantalizing memory of a samosa drifts into your mind. You remember the delicious explosion of spices perfectly combined with potatoes bundled in a flaky pastry wrap.

You remember the comfort of such a warm, well-seasoned

snack on a warm day. You wish you weren’t on a college budget, or a college schedule for that matter, so you could tour the many South Asian restaurants in the Princeton area to figure out which ones offered samosas within a reasonable price.

Yet all is not lost. ‘Street’ surveyed the South Asian restaurants that offered samosas, including Tandoori Bite Indian Cuisine, Cross Culture, Masala Grill and Mehek, and narrowed it down to the top two most affordable and quality options for you.

Masala Grill If you’re looking for a place where you can sit down and listen to 90s alternative rock while drinking a mango lassi, then Masala Grill is the restaurant

or extra hot!), as well as a choice of sauces, including green chutney (made of coriander) or sweet chutney (made of dates and tamarind). If you’re looking for that full flavorful experience, we say go for the medium spice, and combine the two sauces together to get the best of both worlds.

Mehek Though it houses a homey sit-down restaurant upstairs, Mehek is ANDIE AYALA :: CONTRIBUTOR a great option if you’re really in a hurry but need Samosas from Masala Grill. those samosa noms to fill for you. Though more on the your belly. You can enter the expensive side with $6.95, the store, get the ready-made samosamosa dish comes with two sas, pay with a credit card and sizeable samosas. As an added go, all under a minute. While premium, you can also choose the crust is not as satisfyingly the level of spice (low, medium crunchy as the Masala Grill sa-

mosas, it is of great quality for such a low price ($1.50 each).

According to manager Shripad Kukarni, while there are many ways to prepare samosas, this specific recipe is inspired from Northern Indian cuisine and is meant to be both vegan and halal. So if deciding to cater an event and considering what options may be best for dietary restrictions, an order of samosas may be a great call.

In any case, if you find yourself at either of these restaurants during lunchtime, we say, accompany that samosa with the special deal of a $10.99 buffet at Masala grill and a $10.95 buffet at Mehek.

Wherever you are, wherever you’re going, stop by Masala Grill or Mehek for a samosa.

We promise, these golden balls of seasoned joy are in for the journey.

SUSHI MO C MO C VS. SUSHI PALACE ANGELA WANG Staff Writer

T

his weekend, I explored two Japanese restaurants in the vicinity of Princeton: Mo C Mo C and Sushi Palace.

minute walk if one exits from the FitzRandolph Gate. I went there around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday and there was no wait at all. We picked a booth and sat down. Although there were two or three tables filled with people, the ambience was quiet and peaceful in general. It would be a great place to go with two to four friends to relax and chat.

The background music was at a very comfortable level — not too loud to annoy people, nor too low to be heard. It was, in general, a very pleasant and noiseless environment.

The service was good as well.

The waitress was quick with the order and quickly took away the empty plates we had so the table was not overcrowded. The time

Sushi Palace serves its rolls on giant plates after customers order from a paper list of dishes.

to wait for food was fairly short as well — I would say about 15 minutes and there were four of us. I was satisfied with the efficiency of Mo C Mo C. In terms of the actual food, I ordered the vegetarian platter as the main dish, as can be seen from the image below.

The portion was regular and it was very delicious. Out of all the sushi places I have been to on Nassau, I would say Mo C Mo C had the most authentic sushi. The sticky rice was not too grainy and hard, but rather melted in my mouth. The avocado was freshly picked, displaying a delightful green with no visible browning. I also tried my friend’s pork katsu and it tasted authentic — not too oily or light in flavor, with a crispy outside and a tender inside for the pork cutlet.

Besides the authentic flavor, another way that Mo C Mo C stands out from other sushi restaurants is the attention it pays to the aesthetics. As can be seen from the photo, my plate looked like a painting. The chef decorated the sides care-

fully and arranged my sushi in a way that made it appeal like a secret garden. Not only was the plate aesthetically pleasing, but also the hot water glass used to refill my tea, looked unique — like an upside-down light bulb — and each dish was shaped as a fish. The amount of care and thought put into the presentation made the entire meal pleasing to the eye and even more palatable for the stomach.

Sushi Palace Switching gear, I went to Sushi Palace Sunday night. Located in Kingston Mall, Sushi Palace is not on Nassau, but rather a 10 minute Uber ride from campus. However, if everyone chips in, it will cost not even $2 per person for the ride.

In terms of environment, it is definitely noisier than Mo C Mo C. However, it is also a lot more populated than Mo C Mo C. There was one empty table when we got there, and we got there around 5:30 p.m. — not even a conventional time for dinner yet. Everyone was talking and the walls somewhat echo, so it was harder to hear each other. I would recommend Sushi Palace for larger groups, around 6 to 10 people.

I celebrated my birthday there and really enjoyed it. If you are looking for a quiet place to talk or ponder on life, Sushi Palace will not be your top option. On the contrary, if you are looking for a place to dine out with friends and chat lightheartedly, then Sushi Palace is definitely the way to go.

It’s got an interesting policy for ordering. Instead of everyone ordering what they want, people tick off the rolls, listed on a paper menu, give the menus to the waiter and then the restaurant puts everything on giant plates. Technically, you can only eat the rolls you order but people more than often dip in and try everything on the plates.

As can be seen from the photo, that was the combination of 12 rolls that we ordered. If one can finish everything on the plate, there would be no punishment. If not, there would be a $10 extra for the to-go boxes.

The idea is to not waste and order what one can take.

The actual sushi rolls are not as good as the ones in Mo C Mo C. The sticky rice was harder and tasted kind of rough in the mouth and the ingredients were not as fresh. Sushi Palace seems to value quantity over quality since so many people are having so many different rolls. However, the variety of the selection is undeniably greater in Sushi Palace. Just look at how palatable the picture above looks! Don’t get me wrong — the sushi did not taste bad. It was definitely better than late meal sushi. Like I mentioned before, Sushi Palace is a place for a lot of people to hang out and share.

Mo C Mo C, delicious and quiet, and Sushi Palace, popular and fun, approach Japanese cuisine in distinct ways. Take two hours off and go try one of them out on a weekend.

PAN-FRIED DUMPLINGS: TIGER NOODLES VS. HUNAN CATHERINE WANG

I

Staff Writer

n my family, pan-fried dumplings are often a “recycled” food. If we boiled dumplings for dinner one night and there were some leftovers, into the pan they would go. Frying the dumplings adds a distinctly new taste to them, making them arguably even more delicious.

In addition to being one of my favorite foods, dumplings are also extremely convenient to make, since they can be made in bulk and then frozen for lat-

er consumption. One batch of dumplings might last over two weeks and can be a part of several meals.

I definitely did not realize how much I appreciated home-cooked food until coming to college, and since I have found that there is no feeling quite like eating homemade dumplings on breaks after weeks of dining hall food. This past weekend, when I was craving home-cooked Chinese food, I tried some pan-fried dumplings from two local Chinese restaurants, Tiger Noodles on Nassau Street and Hunan Chinese Restaurant on Witherspoon Street.

Tiger Noodles I ordered the pan-fried dumplings from Tiger Noodles online, where there are three different options available: meat, vegetable or seafood. There is also the option to have them either pan-fried or boiled. One order is $5 for six pan-fried dumplings, so I tried out an order of meat dumplings.

The delivery arrived within an hour, and came with soy sauce packages as well as vinegar. (Sidenote: personally, I have never had dumplings with soy sauce; my family uses vin-

MARGHERITA PIZZA: TERESA CAFFE VS. D’ANGELO MARKET OLIVER SUN

argherita pizza has a long and illustrious Italian history.

According to popular tradition, it was named after Queen Margherita of Savoy in 1889. The primary toppings, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil, correspond to the red, white and green of the Italian flag. For the Food Issue, Street tried the Margherita pizzas at Teresa Caffe and D’Angelo Italian Market.

Teresa Caffe, located in Palmer Square, is an upscale sit-down restaurant. Complimentary bread is available upon request, which is served with olive oil for dipping. The atmosphere is refined, featuring black-and-white photographs on the walls and wines showcased in wooden boxes. While the restaurant was fairly busy on the evening that we visited, the service was still quick and responsive. The server’s attentiveness to refilling water and bread was particularly impressive.

The Margherita pizza from Teresa Caffe is a traditional thin crust served freshly made.

The server garnishes it with crushed black pepper and grated Parmesan cheese upon request. The thin crust was crispy and provided good support for the toppings. The sauce did not overpower the crust at all.

The toppings on the pizza were very homogeneous — the sauce and cheese seemed to blend together. Some may view this as a positive feature, as each bite includes both cheese and sauce.

However, the quantity of both

cheese and basil on this pizza felt lacking.

D’Angelo Market’s pizza selection is more reminiscent of the pizza station at Frist’s Food Gallery. The pizzas are ready-made and displayed for customers behind a glass pane.

The servers then reheat slices of pizza according to the customer’s order. As a result, service at D’Angelo Market is faster than at Teresa Caffe. Unlike at Teresa Caffe, the toppings at D’Angelo Market remained discrete: the red, white and green of the Italian flag were all clearly present. The Margherita pizza at D’Angelo Market had more toppings, including a thicker layer of mozzarella cheese and more basil. However, the crust was not as crispy as the crust at Teresa Caffe.

Ultimately, even though Teresa Caffe and D’Angelo Market both serve pizza, they fall under different categories of restaurant. Teresa Caffe serves its pizza on ceramic dinnerware and includes complimentary bread and water, while D’Angelo Market caters more to the quick service aspect. However, they are comparable price-wise — D’Angelo Market offers pizza by the slice as well as whole pies, while Teresa Caffe only sells whole pies, but the price per unit area of pizza works out to be roughly the same. In terms of service, Teresa Caffe beats D’Angelo Market in attentiveness. The Margherita pizza at Teresa Caffe has a superior texture to the pizza at D’Angelo Market, but D’Angelo Market’s Margherita has a better taste.

egar, but I have heard that it is typical in Southern China to eat dumplings with soy sauce).

The dumplings were stored in a plastic container that preserved the heat well, but it also caused them to stick together slightly. I found that being able to separate them involved ripping the wrapper.

Additionally, the dumplings had not been fried completely.

They were at a halfway point between boiled and pan-fried, so the wrapper still had a soft, watery texture that most pan-fried dumplings do not. Personally, I did not mind it, since I find that over-frying the dumplings is a more egregious problem, as it quickly becomes nauseating if you eat too many over-fried dumplings in one sitting.

Taste-wise, I was very pleasantly surprised. Often, Chinese restaurants will overdo it on the

soy sauce, but Tiger Noodles managed to keep their pan-fried dumplings from tasting too salty. In addition to the meat, they added some onions, and it added to the flavor without being overpowering.

Overall, I would say that I would order it again, especially since it is cheap and convenient.

(I didn’t even have to leave my room to order).

Hunan Chinese Restaurant Hunan also offered the option of meat or vegetable panfried dumplings, so I got meat again for the sake of comparison. Hunan also delivered within the hour with soy sauce packages and vinegar on the side. (Sidenote: Although an appetizer of six pan-fried dumplings only costs $4.65, Hunan requires that you spend a minimum of $15 dollars for delivery

and accepts cash only).

When I first opened the container, I was surprised by the actual look of the dumplings. Although the dumplings had been properly fried, the dumplings themselves were made with a much thicker wrapper. As a result, the texture seemed more similar to Chinese baozi, which I was not a big fan of.

Taste-wise, the dumplings had a stronger flavor overall thanks to the over-use of soy sauce as well as the Chinese chives which were added in addition to the onions. I found the filling to be dry, which was not helped by the frying.

Overall, I would say that I had a better experience with the Tiger Noodles pan-fried dumplings. The texture was softer and the wrapper was thinner, and the taste did not become as grating as quickly.

Theatre Intime presents aesthetically impressive, flat take on ‘Harvey’

Thursday april 7, 2016

STREET’S

TOP TEN

CAROLYN BEARD Staff Writer

1 3 5 COURTESY OF THEATRE INTIME

I

n 1945, playwright Mary Coyle Chase became the fourth woman to ever receive the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Her 1944 play “Harvey” is best known for its 1950 film adaptation starring James (Jimmy) Stewart ’32 as Elwood Dowd, a man reasonable enough — except that he claims an unseen giant rabbit as his best friend.

Theatre Intime’s current production of “Harvey,” directed by Matt Blazejewski ’17, showcases many strong performers and strong aesthetics. Nonetheless, the production is a standard if not flat rendition of the play, only marginally touching on themes of acceptance and inclusion.

The audience first meets Veta Louise Simmons (Anastasia Repouliou ’18) and her daughter Myrtle Mae Simmons (Rebecca Schnell ’18), who comically skirt the topic of their family member’s best friend for as long as possible.

Complications emerge when Simmons attempts to commit her brother to a psychiatric institution. During Simmons’ preliminary interview with the young Dr. Lyman Sanderson (Marcelo Jaimes-Lukes ’19), Sanderson decides it is Simmons — not her brother Dowd — who needs treatment. When Sanderson discovers that the eager-toplease nurse Ruth Kelly R.N. (Katarzyna Kalinowska ’19) and the bumpkin Duane Wilson (Matthew Chuckran ’17) have already committed Dowd, madness and mayhem ensue: Sanderson and his highly esteemed employer Dr. William R. Chumley (Sean Toland GS) must right their wrong, find Dowd and attempt to solve the psychiatric puzzle behind “Harvey”.

A number of performances are particularly strong. Jaimes-Lukes is well suited for the role of the levelheaded Dr. Lyman Sanderson and Toland excels as the highly esteemed Dr. William R. Chumley. In her cameos, Sally Lemkemeier ’18 lights up the stage as Ethel Chauvenet and Betty Chumley. Chuckran, a relative newcomer to the campus theater community, gets a number of laughs in his performance as the incompetent and illiterate Wilson.

Luke Soucy ’19 gives a phenomenal performance as Elwood P. Dowd. Very much channeling Stewart’s “down-

to-earth” persona, Soucy carries both Dowd’s comic and philosophical moments well.

The aesthetics of “Harvey” are above par for Princeton productions. Costumes (Emma Claire Jones ’18) are the best Theatre Intime has seen in years.

Stunning 1940s ensembles following a pastel palette are many. Though some dresses — namely, the dresses worn by the maid and nurse — are too short, the costumes are by and large gorgeous and period-appropriate. Schnell dons a beautiful floor-length rose-color dress and, later, a tea-length navy-blue ensemble. Repouliou wears red — a matronly black-accented dress at first and a shirt and skirt ensemble later. Lemkemeier’s outrageous fur coat reveals a stunning teal dress and jacket — perfectly suited for actor and character alike. The male ensembles are smart, period-appropriate, color-coordinated and, in a revolutionary move for Princeton theater, clunky character shoes are nowhere to be found, with actors instead donning T-strap heels and stylish period shoes.

The set (Matthew Volpe ’16) is split into two: half the stage makes up the Dowd estate and half the psychiatric institution. Though the set walls might be at a bit too steep of an angle and the clearance between Dowd’s desk and the set wall is a smidge too narrow, all in all the set is brilliant. The upstage mahogany double doors transform into a hallway in the psychiatric institution.

One side of the desk serves as a personal desk at the Dowd estate and when turned around, the other side serves as the work desk in the sanitarium. The coloring is beautiful: a dark, rich wood for the estate and an off-white and teal dressing for the psychiatric institution.

Moving past performances and aesthetics, however, the production becomes a bit wobbly. Audience members are mere bystanders to Dowd’s estrangement from his family and friends while themes of acceptance and inclusion really only enter the discussion in the last five minutes of the play.

Blocking is sloppy if not poor, lines are dropped and overacting is commonplace; indeed, the play neither occurs in reality nor in the absurd, but in an uncomfortable in-between.

“Harvey” as a text can be considered a masterpiece in the canon of American drama. This production undoubtedly features strong performances and aesthetic qualities. Though Blazejewski’s rendition does provide its audience a couple of hours of chuckles, it does little to expand the boundaries of theater at Princeton University. *** Theatre Intime’s “Harvey,” is playing April 7 and 8 at 9 p.m. and April 9 at both 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Murray Theatre, MurrayDodge Hall.

Pros: iconic piece of American theater, good laughs, strong performances and high-quality aesthetics Cons: little thematic advancement until the final five minutes, sloppy blocking, frequent inappropriate overacting Paws: 2.5/5
