Eisgruber, NJ college leaders express concerns on immigration Head News Editor

University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 partnered with other leaders in higher education across the state of New Jersey to send a letter to Congress expressing concerns about immigration delays and policy.

Eisgruber and the other New Jersey college and university leaders wrote in the letter that they were particularly concerned about their ability “to attract and retain international students, faculty, and scholars.”

“Our schools vary in mission, size and the makeup of our student bodies, but we all depend on our ability to attract motivated students and scholars from throughout society and around the world,” they wrote in the letter. “We believe our success in these endeavors plays an important role in building the State’s innovation economy.”

They expressed concern at “impediments” put in the path of international students, faculty, and staff.

One obstacle they listed in the letter was that of administrative processing delays. They said graduate students and faculty have had to miss or defer entire semesters because their visa applications were delayed at the State Department.

The letter also expressed concern at the increase in processing delays for Optional Practical Training (OPT), which permits foreign students studying in the United States to apply for training with a U.S. employer

in a job directly related to their course of study. According to the letter, the processing times for OPT applications “have increased from a previous maximum of 90 days in 2016 to 3½ - 5½ months today.”

“The types of situations described above rarely make frontpage news and the isolated impact of each example is certainly not as dramatic as the effect of higher-profile actions such as the rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program or the travel ban,” they wrote in the letter. “However, taken together, they create a frustrating and sometimes hostile environment for those wishing to live in and contribute to our communities.”

Eisgruber and the other New Jersey leaders then cited a number of reports on the decrease in enrollment of international students to U.S. graduate schools.

The report found that enrollment had fallen for the second year in a row.

The letter concluded with an appeal to Congress to “closely monitor the policies and administrative actions that are threatening the free flow of students and scholars upon which our colleges and universities depend.”

The letter follows several instances of Eisgruber challenging the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Eisgruber has previously advocated for permanent protection for “Dreamers” who came to the United States as children and for individuals with temporary protected status.

Google, U. hold inauguration event for Google AI Lab

By Zoya Gauhar The University and Google held an inaugural event for the new Google AI lab located just north of campus in Palmer Square on Thursday, May 2.

The event hosted speakers such as Professor of Computer Science Elad Hazan, New Jersey Governor Philip Murphy, New Jersey Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, alumnus and former Google Chairman Eric Schmidt ’76, and President Christopher Eisgruber ’83.

Eisgruber described the partnership as historic for the University and stated that it will have impacts throughout the region.

Eisgruber mentioned his belief that artificial intelligence and machine learning are the future for many fields, including genomics, chemistry, psychology, and more. He described the importance of collaboration and partnerships with the private sector.

“Our collaboration with Google exemplifies this vibrant new strand in Princeton’s educational mission,” he said.

“People might [one day] point to this site and say ‘a lot of it started right here.’”

Governor Murphy expressed his excitement at Google’s choosing to open its lab in New Jersey. He described it as a unique addition to both the University and the state.

He described the New Jersey economy as being composed of both infrastructure and innovation.

“The infrastructure economy is pretty simple — it’s based on where we are. The innovation economy is who we are,” Murphy said.

The New Jersey Governor announced on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development the creation of the New Jersey Innovation Research Fellowship Program, which will provide aid to pre- and post-Ph.D. research in the form of two-year grants.

James Madison Program choice of associate research scholar provokes controversy among U. student body

By Marie-Rose Sheinerman Assistant News Editor

On April 12, the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions announced their selected fellows, a list that includes Dr. Marianna Orlandi, for the coming academic year.

Last Friday, Yafah Edelman ’20

sent an email to residential college listservs alerting students to the fact that Orlandi has previously worked at the Center for Family and Human Rights (CFAM), an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has classified as an anti-LGBT hate group.

Louis Aaron ’22, an active member of the Jewish community at the University, emphasized that the event serves as a reminder “of the heroic lives of the Jews murdered in the 1940s and acknowledges the shared trauma that lives on in every Jew today.”

“Yom Hashoah is a Jewish holiday because it contextualizes the Holocaust in the story of the Jewish people; it fits in all too well,” Aaron wrote in an email to The Daily Princetonian.

“It is also an opportunity to remember the millions of innocent non-Jewish lives that were taken during the Holocaust and World War II.” The ceremony also included remarks from several members of the Jewish community, including Trudy Album, a Holocaust survivor.

“In a way, it is frightening to have a Holocaust survivor come before you to tell her story; it’s a reminder that nations and their armies tried to wipe out your people less than a lifetime ago. It’s also incredibly inspiring,” Aaron wrote to the ‘Prince.’

“Trudy Album’s optimism and her pride in her Jewish identity are important reminders that the Jewish people have a long history of resilience.”

Rabbi Ira Dounn, Senior Jewish Educator at the Center for Jewish Life, said that the sig-

............. ation of the lab. She thanked all those who were involved in the partnership and expressed her admiration of the work that was already being conducted by students.

“Even in the field of artificial intelligence, it’s about making our world better,” she said.

She explained her view that it is necessary for the world to be made better through the presence of minorities and women in all working fields, and for research to be conducted that applies to people from all walks of life.

“Things that work for some, do not work for all,” she said.

Hazan began his remarks by thanking Eric Schmidt ’76 for his support of the project, while noting Schmidt’s recent decision to step down from the Alphabet board.

Hazan also thanked Eisgruber for his involvement in creating the partnership between Google and the University. He expressed further gratitude for other members of the team and emphasized the importance of student involvement in the project.

“We can collaborate with the brilliant minds we have here of students and researchers and build upon these foundations … together, we can really find out some new, amazing scientific discoveries,” he said.

Schmidt described the state of the University’s computer science program when he arrived as a student, saying it was

virtually non-existent.

He recalled listening to Professor Brian Kernighan GS ’69’s lectures, saying that they sparked his interest in computer science. Schmidt also described his trips to Bell Labs with Professor Jeffrey Ullman GS ’66 as a 19-year-old.

“It was where all the really smart people were — all the hardware, all the computers,” he said, describing why he chose to make the trip so often.

Schmidt used his experience to explain the significance of Google opening an AI lab across the street from the University.

He described the importance of having Professors Elad Hazan and Yoram Singer both teaching and working with Google.

“They’re both teaching with this extraordinary set of people,” Schmidt said. “But they’re also embedded inside this amazing set of technologies that is accessible to Google employees.”

Schmidt described his vision for combining the minds available at the University with the leadership and technology available at Google.

Guests had the opportunity to meet the student researchers who have already begun work in the lab and hear about their research.

Second-year graduate student Udaya Ghai described the importance of “building algorithms that are efficient but robust” in the research taking place.

The event took place at 3:30 p.m. on the third floor of 1 Palmer Square.

nificance of the ceremony is “making sure the world doesn’t forget” and “making sure people are remembered specifically.”

“It’s important to remember the people who have passed away, to honor their memory and make their lives a blessing,” Dounn said. “It’s important to remember that there has been genocide since the Holocaust, that we, as humanity, and, more specifically, as we the Jewish people, need to remember that ‘never again’ means that anywhere where there is genocide or suffering, we need to do something about it.”

Dounn also referenced author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel’s 1986 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, in which he said, “Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.”

Dounn says Wiesel’s idea still resonates with many even today.

“In the Holocaust, they did not care what kind of Jew you were. If you were Jewish then they sought to kill you,” said Mark Abramovitz ’21, who also spoke at the opening of the ceremony. “Part of the significance to that today is that today is a day where, no matter what kind of Jew you are today, we put differences aside and, as one people, we mourn the losses that were caused to us, regardless of where we come from or where we are going.”

Edelman: This is a dramatic and somewhat scary event MADISON Continued from page 1

In her email, Edelman, who identifies as transgender, wrote that Orlandi has previously written that laws allowing trans people to express their gender identities on legal IDs could aid terrorists. Edelman also cited a piece in an Italian publication in which Orlandi defends a conversion therapy organization based in New Jersey and claims that a judge’s ruling against it infringes on people’s rights to choose to explore heterosexuality.

Edelman’s email sparked discussion in the listservs over the Madison Program’s choice.

“One thing that makes me nervous is that, were I not to have stumbled onto this, almost by chance, there wouldn’t have been any discussion of this at all,” Edelman said. “I think this is a dramatic and somewhat scary event to be happening on our campus.”

Each year, the James Madison Program hosts a number of scholars with “established records as well as those who have recently received their doctorates as Visiting Fellows and Postdoctoral Research Associates,” according to the program’s website. In the program, the fellows are expected to “pursue their own research and writing, participate in courses, seminars and colloquia, and contribute to the intellectual life of the Department of Politics and Princeton University.”

Professor Alan Patten, chair of the politics department, described the James Madison program as “an autonomous program within the Department that has its own director and executive committee.” He otherwise deferred comment to the Office of Communications.

one of 13 fellows invited to the program for the 2019–20 academic year, but the only one whose current position is not listed in the announcement as a Ph.D. candidate, faculty lecturer, or associate professor at an institution of higher learning. Instead, she is described as a “criminal lawyer” in private practice, a fact that Edelman pointed out in her email.

The organization Orlandi previously worked for, C-FAM, has “special consultative status” with the United Nations. C-FAM has been criticized for a fundraising image where a swastika is placed on top of a LGBTQ+ flag with the statement “Sexual Fascists Want to Take Away Your Rights.”

What makes Edelman particularly uncomfortable is that Orlandi was not invited as a onetime guest lecturer on campus, but rather will hold a year-long position under the University’s name, a privilege that will provide her with a mark of academic prestige Edelman does not believe Orlandi deserves.

Edelman said she would like to see the program rescind their invitation to Orlandi, but noted that if the program chooses not to do so, at the very least sparking discussion on the invitation itself is important.

“I’d like some assurance that if this thing happens, at least people know about it,” she said.

When asked whether there is

a possibility Orlandi may be disinvited from the fellowship, University spokesman Ben Chang responded in an email to The Daily Princetonian, “No. Princeton is committed to free and open inquiry in all matters, and guarantees all members of the University community the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn.”

He added that free speech and inclusivity are both central to the University’s mission and should not be considered incompatible nor pitted against each other.

“If we are to have meaningful conversations about difficult topics on university campuses and in this country, we must care both about inclusivity and freedom of speech,” Chang wrote.

Chang also affirmed that “LGBT students (and faculty and staff) are valued members of the University community, full stop.”

“The University seeks to support and empower these students by providing communitybuilding, education, events, and initiatives,” he added. “Through the LGBT Center, in particular, we strive to affirm and help students - including around issues of free speech and the classroom.”

Orlandi did not respond to multiple requests for comment by the ‘Prince’ in time for this story’s publication.

Every day.

Renee Louis ’19 explained that the purpose of the event was to recognize staff members who improve the daily lives of students in ways that may often go unnoticed.

“As a graduating senior, the last four years have certainly had its ups and downs,” she said. “The encounters and relationships that I have had with some of the people here … whether they be brief and sometimes silent encounters or the deeper and longer friendships with people I’ve known for the past few years.

All of these are treasured.”

She explained that her relationships with many of those being recognized gave her a sense of community on campus. She knew this was her experience, but after reading a number of the Hidden Chaplains nominations sent in this year, she realized how universal of an experience it is.

Louis noted that many people at the University are often lauded for a number of differ-

ent accolades, but there is very little recognition of simple kindness, which she thinks is “often just as rare.”

Louis went on to speak about Laura Wooten, University staff member and lifelong poll worker, who was nominated as a Hidden Chaplain before her death earlier this year. She read aloud a blog post about Wooten from another student, who had written that Wooten “was more of a fixture of [their] Princeton experience than many of [their] professors” and that they hope to one day become “half the community member that she seemed to be throughout her entire life.”

After the names were read, the floor was opened for community members to recount stories and talk about times where community members made differences in their lives.

Remy Reya ’21 nominated Sergio Arevalo, who works in the Wu and Wilcox dining halls and greets Reya with a “Hello, my friend!” every day.

Reya wishes he could have nominated the entirety of the Campus Dining staff.

“There’s something that can

be said for unsolicited kindness,” he said. “There’s more room in this world for kindness, for smiling, for patting people on the back, for making everyone your friend, and that’s what I feel like this staff does.”

Arevalo said that he understands that students have stressful lives and makes an effort to reach out and welcome them to the dining hall as a way to ease some of the stress.

He loved being recognized, and seeing many of his coworkers recognized, as it showed him that his efforts were making a difference.

Sherri Brucks, who works at “late meal” in Frist Campus Center and was recognized this year for the second time, also sees value in the event.

“It makes you very happy to come to work every day. You enjoy coming to work when students let you know how appreciative they are,” she said.

“And you don’t realize what the students do for us and what we do for the students until something like this lets you know.”

Collins: You’re all in this strange, surreal experience together

NISHAAD KHEDKAR ’22 FOR THE DAIL PRINCETONIAN

JEOPARDY Continued from page 1

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

a Q&A with the former contestants, hosted by Committee member Abhiram Karuppur ’19, and was followed by two live Jeopardy! games, with prizes for student participants.

Karuppur originally had the idea for the event after watching Collins on the show, as he thought it would be feasible to arrange for Collins to participate in an event because of his position at the University.

Additionally, he said, he knew Madden lived in the area, and his advisor in the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students knew that Meyer was a former contestant on the show.

Karuppur is a former Associate News Editor for the Daily Princetonian.

Originally, a fourth contestant, Princeton Public School teacher Kian Barry, was scheduled to compete, but she ultimately unable to attend.

Meyer, a former Assistant Director of Admission at the University, said that the event was a nice reminder of the outcome of the work she did in the admissions office.

“Usually, when I’m supporting students, it is to help send them overseas in an internship, or to help fund their research, or to lead them to some great events on campus about Global Health,” she said after the event. “And so it’s a lot of fun for me to talk about a fun thing like Jeopardy!, which has been a great adventure for me over the last couple of years.”

The former contestants gave students an idea of what Jeopardy! is like behind-the-scenes.

Meyer said she was surprised about how seriously the show took security. The show is very strict about discussing episodes between filming and airing, and Meyer had to attend an hour-long compliance information session on the matter.

On this same line of strictness, Meyer noted that host Alex Trebek hardly interacts with contestants outside of the show itself due to his prior knowledge of the questions.

“Basically what you see on TV, in terms of his interactions with contestants, is what happens,” Meyer said. “It’s really basically, ‘Hi, nice to meet you,’ take a picture, move down the line.”

Collins explained how contestants would arrive in cohorts of 11 people — the returning champion and 10 others — to compete in five

games.

“I found people to be extremely friendly,” he said.

“You’re all in this strange, surreal experience together.”

They also spoke about current Jeopardy! champion and University of Illinois alumnus James Holzhauser, who recently noted, “Most people think I went to Princeton or something. But I was never a diligent student.”

Collins said that his colleagues on campus bring up Jeopardy! quite a bit, and that he is currently experiencing a “non-stop barrage of questions” about Holzhauser. Yoni Schoenberg ’19 asked the contestants whether or not they believe Holzhauser is “breaking the game” because of how well he is currently performing, and whether or not they foresee changes being made in response.

Madden said that he thinks the show may look into implementing a rule that prevents contestants from actively hunting for the Daily Double clues. Theoretically, he said, the show could prevent contestants from jumping around from category to category, something Madden himself intentionally did during his time on the show.

“The show actively told me, including Trebek and the contestant coordinators, ‘Start at the top of the category and work you way down. Ease into the categories. It’s much better,’” he said. “It might be better for the show’s largely geriatric viewing audience to follow along, but obviously not for me.”

Following the Q&A, Karuppur hosted two live Jeopardy! games. He wrote the University-themed questions for both games himself. The week of the event, Princeton Jeopardy Circuit President Nelson Dimpter ’22 offered to help with logistics, providing seven functional buzzers and an early-2000s classroom Jeopardy! Set. In both games, Madden, Collins, and Meyer played alongside four graduating seniors.

Jim Palmer ’19, who played in the first game, said the moment he was called down to participate, he suddenly became really focused on the competition. However, when a someone would miss a question and there would be a slight pause, he said, he would look around and realize who he was competing against.

“It was just kind of a unique thing you wouldn’t get somewhere other than college,” he said.

The first game included clues about University history and alumni, as well as a category about past Lawnparties acts.

There was also a “department building” category, where participants had to know where specific academic departments were housed. Rounding out the list were a “course by number” category, where participants were given course titles and had to respond with course codes, and a miscellaneous category.

In the first game, Madden and Meyer were both eliminated before Final Jeopardy! both with negative point totals before the final question and therefore unable to participate.

Madden’s confidence deflated early after he missed a question about University grade deflation, guessing that it began in 2005 when it actually started a year earlier.

Collins was the only participant to answer the “Musical Landmarks” Final Jeopardy! correctly, knowing that the instrument in Grover Cleveland Tower is a Carillon, an instrument containing 67 bells.

Though he wagered zero points on the answer, he still came out victorious. Matt Ramirez ’19 scored the most points out of the seniors, ending with 400.

The second game included categories about town history, “all things orange,” “Princeton in pop culture,” University sports team coaches, an “Identify the Residential College” category, and a miscellaneous category. All three former contestants made it to the “Princeton Crimes” Final Jeopardy! clue about “The Great Dinky Robbery” of 1963, a prank in which four University students ‘abducted’ four women from the train station.

Of the former contestants, Meyer was the only one to come up with the correct answer and ended with 3,300 points. However, she still could not defeat Corless, who scored 4,600 points, “beat the champions,” and got to choose first out of a bundle of prizes, eventually opting to take an orange and black suitcase.

Corless said that the game was “not as intimidating as you’d think,” given that all of the categories were Universityspecific and, unlike Madden, Collins, and Meyer, she currently attends the University.

“I think it was a fun thing for the Class of 2019 to organize, and I enjoyed participating,” she added. “And now I don’t have to buy a suitcase for my future life.”

COLUMN: Did the Warriors ruin the NBA?

By Matthew Fuller Sports Columnist

Growing up in Michigan, the Pistons meant everything to Detroit. It’s been over a decade since the team has been relevant, but the Pistons have always remained a source of pride from their win in the 2004 Finals over the Los Angeles Lakers. The series is still discussed today, not just because Detroit, with only one All-Star, upset a team led by Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and Gary Payton, but because of the way they played. The constant speculation of infighting between superstars Kobe and Shaq was a big juxtaposition to the Pistons, who were seen as playing much more cohesively with a bluecollar approach.

A byproduct of this cohesion was their record-setting defense. It was not uncommon for the Pistons to hold teams to under 90 points in the playoffs that year, with a record eighteen games with such a stat. The Pistons even allowed under 60 points in one playoff game.

Today’s NBA looks much different. Scores like this haven’t been seen in a while and the league has returned to being superstar-focused, especially after the increasing phenomenon of “Super Teams.” Many fans are upset that the game has changed, and after four straight finals with the same teams, they blame the Golden State Warriors for “ruining the NBA.” With Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson possibly leaving next year, it’s time to reflect on the last five years of Warriors dominance, and why these assertions are unfair.

After the 2004 Finals, the NBA made a rule change that shifted the course of the league by banning the use of hand-checking.

Defenders could no longer slow down players with their hands and against faster, more explosive players, defenders could no longer feel which direction the player would go. The result was that smaller players could score much more easily by gaining separation either on the drive or with shooting long-range.

From these changes, fans who appreciated the dominance of larger players like Shaq became upset to see the dominance of a smaller player like Steph Curry being able to shoot so many 3-pointers.

Though he was not responsible for the rule change, his dominance is seen almost as exploiting a loophole, changing the strategy and the overall look of the league. Curry, as the poster-child for the three, became a symbol for a big change in the NBA. In 2016, he set a record for most threes in a season, hitting over 400 when nobody else had made 300 in a season.

Though the Warriors were initially dominant with their long-range shooting, other teams have adopted similar approaches. Their main rival until this year, the Cavaliers, set the record for most threes in a game, knocking down 25 in a game on March 3, 2017.

Just this season, the Houston Rockets, who regularly attempt more threes per game than any other team, made 26 on December 19.

Some, like San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, have criticized the prevalence of the shot in today’s game, as it takes the “beauty” out of basketball. In some respects, however, the three-pointer can actually add to the excitement of a game. A buzzerbeating three, like Damian Lillard’s against the Thunder, or a dagger three to seal a game, can make arenas either erupt or go completely silent, depending on the home team.

But this is not to suggest that the old system of basketball is extinct. Many young talented players now, like Ben Simmons or Giannis Antetokounmpo, do not shoot the three well, signaling that the three may not be entirely the future of the game, especially since Antetokounmpo is regarded as the next best player in the league.

Another change from the early days of the NBA through early 2000s, that many use to explain the enablement of a player like Curry is the disappearance of physicality. Those who appreciated the fights of the 1980s and 1990s, with teams like the “Bad Boy” Pis-

tons, would be understandably upset to see the lack of fighting now. After the infamous “Malice at the Palace” in 2004, when the Indiana Pacers’ Ron Artest jumped into

are a soft team. With Steph Curry, as a smaller, more unconventional-looking player, he is labeled arrogant as well.

However, “arrogant” actions of his, like turning away from

the crowd and fought a fan, the traditional physicality and the prevalence of fighting was never really seen again.

Whether or not you view fighting as an essential part of basketball is a matter of personal preference, but with increased risk of suspensions and injury, fans would not be given the full experience of pure basketball and players achieving their full potential.

The Warriors, with relatively quiet players like Durant and Klay Thompson, often get called soft or sensitive too, especially after Durant’s burner account controversy.

Even then, however, there is no reason to believe that the competitiveness of the players has gone completely soft.

Trash talking is still a vital part of the game, especially in the playoffs, as we just witnessed with the Blazers-Thunder series.

For the Warriors, having louder, more physical players like Draymond Green or Demarcus Cousins contradicts this notion that they

a shot before it goes in, contributes to the story of his talent, especially after players like Nick Young and Kemba Walker have tried to do the same thing and have failed spectacularly.

Finally, the biggest knock against the Warriors is that they are a Super Team and have ruined competition in the NBA. Through injuries and good drafts, they were able to acquire their original “big three” of Curry, Thompson, and Green. After going 73–9, they became the “most hated” team when Durant, who had lost the Western Conference Finals against them after being up 3–1 in the series with the Oklahoma City Thunder, decided to join the team.

Though this was Durant’s decision and the Warriors would be fools to pass on the “only unstoppable player in the NBA,” the Warriors as a team have become the villains of the league. After making four straight finals, with all signs pointing toward making their fifth, the Warriors

are seen as creating an imbalance that makes the NBA boring. But if that’s true, why have the ratings for the NBA finals gone up in the last ten years? And if the Warriors should be blamed, then why didn’t other teams adopt similar strategies earlier?

Many point to the “big threes” of the Boston Celtics starting in 2007 or of the Miami Heat when LeBron James made “The Decision” in 2010 as starting this trend, but Super Teams have existed before 2007, and before the Lakers team of 2004, going back to the Celtics and Lakers teams of the 1960s through the 1980s, who collectively won 19 championships in that time. The difference with the Warriors is that this team was created after already going 73–9.

But even with a Super Team, evidence suggests the Warriors aren’t as unfairly dominant as many say and that the league isn’t ruined forever.

After their 73–9 season in 2016, the Warriors have posted worse regular season records each year after adding Kevin Durant, and more recently Demarcus Cousins. As a “hegemon” of the NBA, adding Durant may have been necessary as other teams have been catching up by employing the same tactics and stacking superstars of their own.

Cleveland added Kevin Love, Houston added Chris Paul, Oklahoma City added Paul George, the list goes on.

Instead of ruining the NBA, the Warriors have made the playoffs more exciting. The more superstars in a series, the more interesting stories there are. For those who hate the Warriors, relief will come as this offseason will likely break the team up. Still, the rise and decline of the Warriors as a team that took advantage of the lack of handchecking, revolutionized the three-pointer, and intensified the storylines of the NBA is an important one. As a result of their dominance, the vilification of the Warriors only contributed to intrigue of the game in an already dynamic league.

Not all tragedies are equal Katie Goldman Columnist

Within the last three weeks, two events shocked people around the world. In Sri Lanka, bombings killed hundreds of innocent civilians on Easter Sunday; in France, a fire destroyed part of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. To me, one of these events is clearly more devastating than the other.

The massive loss of human life in the Sri Lanka outweighs the partial destruction of an object that symbolizes culture and history. Nonetheless, the NotreDame fire received significantly more attention from the public.

To address this discrepancy, we must realign our priorities when it comes to mourning tragedies, and everyone can contribute to this change.

The burning of the NotreDame de Paris was a tragic artistic and historic loss to France.

Built in 1345, the cathedral witnessed a number of significant events in French history, and the fire overwhelmed many people who felt a connection to the monument. While the fire of Notre-Dame was upsetting for

many, no lives were lost, and the majority of the structure still stands.

On the other hand, the death toll of the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka reached 253 individuals, with many more injured. The bombings, unlike the accidental Notre-Dame fire, were an intentional act of terrorism. They were a deliberate act of hatred that resulted in large-scale loss of human life.

Despite the fundamental differences between the bombings and the Notre-Dame fire, Western society did not give the event the attention it deserved.

The clear imbalance of societal attention given to Notre-Dame versus Sri Lanka can be seen through financial donations and social media.

The rebuilding of the French landmark is estimated to cost between 330 to 670 million dollars; however, between 850 million and 1 billion dollars have already been pledged to help fix the damage caused by the fire.

This large sum of money was raised within days of the burning.

Sri Lanka has not received this same level of support. The

Sri Lanka Red Cross Society has only raised $142,866 of its $400,000 goal, and over a week has passed since the bombings.

While the difference in donations for the two incidents is shocking, it is likely that the average person has not donated to either cause. Nonetheless, society’s misaligned priorities are still evident through the use of the internet and social media when it comes to the two events.

Data from Google Trends revealed that within 24 hours of both events, the Notre-Dame fire received between five and nine times greater search interest than the Sri Lanka Easter bombings.

In addition to different traffic in search results, at least from my personal experience, it appeared that more people mourned the loss of Notre-Dame than the deaths in Sri Lanka on social media. While my personal feed may not be representative of society as a whole, I noticed more posts about Notre-Dame than Sri Lanka from the people I follow on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Although Princeton students may not have donated to either

cause, it is likely that they engaged in discussion over social media about the incidents. In the future, we will have greater financial capability to make donations, and we should start determining our priorities now.

Certain tragedies may affect people more than others, and that is completely valid. While it is not wrong to mourn the loss of Notre-Dame, we should make sure we are paying attention to all of the catastrophes that strike society and thinking about them critically. Although the Sri Lanka bombings are objectively more appalling than the Notre-Dame fire, both deserve to be mourned — just not equally.

As individuals, we are entitled to decide which causes to support; however, when making these decisions — now and in the future — we should try and remember that some tragedies affect human life more than others.

Room draw petition To Whom It May Concern: What Went Wrong During the 2017–2018 academic year, Princeton University Housing and Real Estate Services (HRES) switched to a new software platform to manage the undergraduate Room Draw process. This new software platform was used to generate the draw times for both the 2018 and 2019 Room Draw.

In April 2019, the undergraduate student body received an email from HRES that a bug in the Room Draw software provided by the software vendor CBORD caused a correlation between the draw times of groups in the 2019 Room Draw and the draw times of identical groups in the 2018 Room Draw. In particular, HRES claimed that only 220 rising seniors were affected.

Despite this claim, a statistical analysis of the 2018 and 2019 Room Draws (see https:// princetonhousing.github.io/) reveals that every student was affected in some way. To expand on this, it was found that strong draw time correlations exist between: Identical groups in multiple draws in the same year (for both 2018 and 2019). This affects stu-

dents who drew with the same group in multiple draws.

Almost all students who drew into multiple draws drew with the same group.

Identical groups in draws in different years (in the 2018 and 2019 Room Draws). This affects students who drew with the same group in 2018 and 2019.

Many students (especially rising seniors) drew with the same group in 2018 and 2019.

The size of a group (for both 2018 and 2019). Based on empirical evidence, a group of size X is X times more likely to have a high draw time than a person drawing alone. This affects all students. In particular, by biasing draw times in favor of larger groups, students drawing in small groups are adversely affected.

Action Plan The scope of systematic unfairness in both the 2018 and 2019 Room Draws — although inadvertent — is nevertheless extremely concerning. On the bright side, the error in Room Draw sparks a great opportunity to review what went wrong, to discuss what could be improved, and to ensure past mistakes are not repeated in the

future. To address the underlying issues with room draw, we request the following steps be taken: Improved Feedback: Students testified that they informed HRES of suspicious correlations in the 2018 Room Draw both last year and again over a month before the 2019 Room Draw, yet their concerns were dismissed. User feedback is an invaluable tool for catching software bugs, and so we believe that a review of why students’ concerns were dismissed, as well as an improved HRES feedback and review pipeline, is paramount to improving Room Draw.

Improved Testing: According to standard software development practices, it is unacceptable to release a product without rigorous testing. We request that a full testing suite be developed for the Room Draw software to ensure proper behavior of future Room Draws.

Additionally, we request an investigation into the partnership between HRES and the software vendor CBORD, particularly with respect to the software specification HRES delivered to the vendor as well as the vendor’s internal testing process.

Improved Transparency/

Auditing: When students were contacted about the error in the 2019 Room Draw, HRES noted that they had been aware of the problem for over two weeks; however, despite a two-week period for investigation, HRES did not find (or admit to finding) the full scope of the problem. We believe that HRES owes students an explanation as to why they did not disclose the full scope of the issue if they were aware of it; if they were not aware, we request that HRES review their internal auditing process so that they are able to catch and understand similar Room Draw issues in the future should they arise.

Improved Infrastructure: In addition to fixing draw time generation, we request an overhaul of the Housing Portal user interface. The current Housing Portal is extremely difficult to navigate, which makes the task of coordinating with a group to draw rooms and sign contracts in a very short period of time extremely stressful at best, and downright impossible at worst.

The room draw site is also prone to errors, crashes and delays, exacerbated by the minutes long period in which a student is expected to draw. Furthermore, inconsistencies in data

released by housing, differences in formatting, and anomalous characters in the Room Draw PDFs released to students indicate a highly manual process.

We request infrastructure improvements such as increased automation and improved portal interface design to address these issues.

We request that joint studentfaculty committee be formed to: Consider and oversee the improvements requested above.

Produce a report detailing errors in the 2018 and 2019 Room Draws and their impact on draw fairness.

Oversee an auditing process of the software used to administer next year’s Room Draw.

Men’s, women’s track and field prepare for Ivy League Championship

By Jesse Brewer and Emily Philippides Contributors

As the outdoor season comes to a close, men’s and women’s track and field are both gearing up to host the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships (Heps) this weekend.

With titles in cross country and indoor track and field already under their belt, the men will strive for their second triple crown in two years.

And with the women’s title all but guaranteed to go to powerhouse Penn, the Tigers will aim for for a second-place finish.

The men’s side boasts topranking athletes across all running, jumping, and throwing events. First-years Gregory Sholars and Simang’Aliso Ndhlovu are ranked fourth and sixth in the league in the 100 meters, respectively. Fellow first-year Michael Philippy ranks sixth in the 400 meter hurdles.

In the 110m hurdles, junior Joseph Daniels is only 0.01 seconds behind his top-ranking competitor with a time of 13.84 seconds, and first-year Christian Brown is ranked fourth in the event with a time of 14.21.

In the 400m hurdles, first-year Taraje Whitfield and junior Gabriele Montefalcone take positions two and three.

Moving up in distances, two Tigers are ranked among the top six in the 1500m: sophomore Sam Ellis and junior Conor Lundy. Lundy is also seeded second in the 5000m, along with sophomore Matt Grossman and senior Jeremy Spiezio, who are ranked fourth and sixth. In the 10,000m, junior Viraj Deokar’s 29:34.18 makes him second in

the league. After performing consistently well in the 3000m steeplechase throughout the season, sophomore Ed Trippas enters the meet ranked second.

In the jumps and throws, the Tigers have performed exceptionally well this season.

Sophomore Jeff Hollis and senior Andrew Diehl are ranked one and two in the high jump, while junior Jesse Thibodeau ranks first in the long jump and over a foot ahead of the rest of the competition.

In the shot put, sophomore Kelton Chastulik ranks first with a mark of 17.96 meters.

Sophomore Zorawar Otal ranks third in the discus.

Coming off of a stellar first season, first-year Chandler Ault currently ranks second in the javelin and boasts the second spot on Princeton’s alltime list.

Meanwhile, senior and indoor Ivy League Champion Adam Kelly is seeking to defend his dominance in the hammer throw as he enters the meet ranked eighth in the NCAA and first in the Ivy League with a throw of 71.34 meters, which he set at the Sam Howell Invitational in early April.

“Our goal since late August has been to win the Triple Crown,” said men’s head coach Fred Samara — who has secured eight triple crowns in his 39 seasons at Princeton. To secure the third leg, he said, “we will need a very large and enthusiastic crowd in the stands on both days. So I hope everyone will come out a cheer us on to victory.”

The women’s team finished third at cross country Heps and fifth in indoor. A firstplace finish — much less a tri-

ple crown — seems out of its reach, but head coach Michelle

Ivy League record-holder, sophomore Obiageri Amaechi, will aim for a title this weekend.

Eisenreich isn’t worried.
