Major U. building plans announced

By Charles Min associate news editor

The University’s 2026 Campus Plan, announced Monday night at a public meeting, includes major infrastructural decisions such as the expansion of the engineering school, the growth the Princeton Environmental Institute, and the construction of an additional residential areas on campus.

School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) and Environmental Institute According to the plan, the University expects to expand the SEAS to account for growth in various programs and larger overall enrollment within the school.

University Architect Ronald McCoy GS ’80 explained that the expansion of the SEAS can provide benefits such as improving academic collaboration between members of SEAS and members of other University departments.

McCoy added that the school’s expansion would allow for more class space and research laboratories,

all equipped with the newest and most efficient technologies and tools.

The construction of new facilities for the Environmental Studies Program is also included in the 2026 Campus Plan. The facilities would enhance collaboration and increase shared research space for the Princeton Environmental Institute, the Department of Evolutionary and Ecological Biology , and the Department of Geosciences.

Construction of New Residential Areas The University previously announced the planned growth of the student body by roughly 10 percent. The 2026 Campus Plan attempts to meet the residential needs of the expanded student body, Vice President and Secretary Robert Durkee ’69 said during the meeting.

The areas within the University-owned land that are expected to become residential areas include the Butler tract, the Alexander Corridor, and West Windsor lands. Whether these areas See BUILDING page 2

U. announces development of land beyond central campus

By Charles Min associate news editor

The University presented its 2026 Campus Plan to local officials and residents at a public meeting Monday night, announcing the committee’s decision to transform the land beyond the main campus that belongs to the University. This includes lands in the municipality of West Windsor, lands south of Lake Carnegie, the Forrestal Campus in the municipality of

Plainsboro, and Prospect Avenue.

The presentation speakers included University Vice President and Secretary Robert Durkee ’69, University Architect Ronald McCoy GS ’80, and Cyndi Rottenburg-Walker, head consultant for the 2026 Campus Plan.

The University’s existing 2016 Campus Plan draws to a close this year, requiring the creation of the new 2026 Campus Plan. Durkee added that in contrast to the

previous plan, which only sketched a decade worth of growth for the University, the 2026 Campus Plan attempts to map out the University’s evolution for the next thirty years. “[For the 2016 Campus Plan] we focused on the central campus. This time, we want to look at all of the University’s campus land,” Durkee said. “We recognize that as difficult as it sometimes can be, when installing infrastructure, See PLAN page 2

News & Notes

News & Notes Explosions took place in New York City and in Seaside Park, N.J. in the past several days. The explosion in Chelsea around 8:30 p.m. Saturday injured 29 people, according to The New York Times. Earlier that same day, there was an explosion at a charity race in New Jersey, the Times wrote.

On Sunday, the FBI discovered and detonated pipe bombs in New Jersey, according to the same article.

In a press conference on Monday, Mayor Bill de Blasio said, “We have every reason to believe this was an act of terror.”

However, there is no known motive for the bombings. In Linden, N.J., CNN reported that Ahmad Khan Rahami was apprehended after an armed confrontation with police Monday. According to CNN, Rahmani has been charged “with five counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer,” and with “second-de-

gree unlawful possession of a weapon and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.”

According to an FBI description, Rahami is a “naturalized US citizen of Afghan descent,” CNN reported.

President Barack Obama said in a statement Monday morning that he is leaving “it to the FBI and law enforcement to provide details.”

He commended the police and first responders “for their extraordinary professionalism and their quick response.”

Obama said that law enforcement is working “around the clock” to keep Americans safe.

“Over the years, they have thwarted many plots and saved many lives,” he said.

All of those injured in the Chelsea bombing have been released from the hospital, The New York Times reported.

Materials. Community organizations that hosted booths included the Arts Council of Princeton, McCarter Theatre Center, Corner House, Princeton Public Library, and the Historical Society of Princeton.

“We were delighted with the attendance and the enthusiasm of the crowd,” Erin Metro, associate director for community relations in the Office of Community and Regional Affairs, said to the Office of Communications.

On Weaver Track, next to the stadium, University studentathletes hosted a youth sports clinic that featured sports such as baseball, basketball, crew, fencing, lacrosse, softball, and track and field.

“We appreciate the Princeton student-athletes who participated in the very popular youth sports clinic and the community organizations and campus partners who participated in the Family Fun Fest,” Metro said to the Office of Communications.

The annual Community and Staff Day flowed into the University’s football game against Lafayette College, which the University won 35-31. The 12,000 local residents that were given free tickets to the game enjoyed the ensuing firework show, which concluded the day.

The event was organized by the University’s Office of Community and Regional Affairs.

would provide housing for graduate students, postdocs, or faculty is yet to be determined.

“As of now, all we know is that the Butler tract will 100 percent become a residential area,” Durkee added.

The West Windsor lands are currently being considered as potential space for academics, administration, athletics and recreation, housing, and innovation.

“It should be considered a campus community,” said McCoy. “It will have less academic inf luence and more of the other kind of uses [such as administration and housing] but it should be thought of as something mixed in nature.”

Springdale Golf Course McCoy explained that the land that is currently occupied by the Springdale Golf Course will be transformed to meet the other interests of the University mission, including improving the natural settings and habitat and improving public access.

The University recognizes that the Springdale land’s proximity to central campus, the Lewis Center, Forbes College, and the Graduate College renders the land valuable to the University’s educational mission.

McCoy added that nothing will change on the land until the lease for the golf course expires. The lease is expected to expire in roughly 10 years.

Pedestrian and Cycling Routes through Campus The University expects to implement significant plans to promote walking and cycling on campus. Durkee noted that the University is ranked first among peer Iv y League institutions in the number of free parking spaces offered to the students and the community.

McCoy explained that the 2026 Campus Plan’s goal is to reduce the role of private automobiles on campus. He explained that this will be done through the expansion of a cycling and pedestrian network, both on campus and in the surrounding community.

He added that the plan also intends to implement strategies to reduce parking demands for the purpose of reducing vehicular traffic in the community.

Lake Carnegie Landscape The Campus Plan intends to better integrate Lake Carnegie into the University landscape, more than simply for members of the University crew teams McCoy said that the University seeks to continue extending and restoring the Springdale and Broadmead areas for sustainability purposes and to improve access to the areas surrounding Lake Carnegie, including entry to the Canal towpath and trails.

The final 2026 Campus Plan outlining a complete overview of the projects is projected to be finished by 2017.

it’s important to have a full understanding possible as to what future needs need to be accommodated.”

Durkee explained that the 2026 Campus Plan primarily focuses on traffic transportation, housing, and environmental problems and sustainability.

“Modern campus planning is extremely comprehensive and collaborative,” said McCoy. “We’re not just thinking of land use. We have to give equal consideration of the land to the University community and the local community.”

Walker explained that the development of the plan has been divided into four stages, and the planning committee is currently in the midst of Phase 3.

Phase 1, which stretched from July 2014 to July 2015, focused on reconnaissance of the land area and data gathering. Phase 2, which took place from July 2015 to April 2016, involved analyzing the data. Phase 3, which is ongoing, is considering plans for potential campus plan projects that can be implemented. Phase 4, which the committee expects to complete by the summer of 2017, involves compiling the many Campus Plan projects.

She added that many of the decisions have been aided by Campus Compass, a conversation that the University sponsored with members of the community to understand which aspects of campus were highly valued and which aspects have troubled its

members. The outcomes of the Campus Compass dialogue have aided the Campus Plan committee in understanding which aspects of the University campus have troubled the members and identifying what the challenges for the future projects would be.

The 2026 Campus Plan is guided by five principles, McCoy said. According to McCoy, the principles include providing an integrated environment for teaching, living, learning, and research; enhancing the campus’s distinctive sense of place; fostering a setting that is welcoming and supportive and encourages positive interaction and exchange; creating a climate that encourages thoughtful and creative approaches to sustainability; and serving communities that extend beyond the campus.

“We are still clarifying choices, understanding contexts, and beginning to address questions that need to addressed,” Durkee said.

The Campus Plan team includes lead consulting firm Urban Strategies Inc. as well as consulting, engineering and technology firms such as BFJ Planning, Burns & McDonnell, KPMB Architects, LEVEL Agency for Infrastructure LLC, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc., Mills+Schnoering Architects, Nitsch Engineering, Populous, Rickes Associates, Sustainable Water, Transpolar, Two Twelve, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc., ZGF Architects, Van Note-Harvey Associates, and Vermeulens.

Cruz: Freedom means free speech, not politically correct safe spaces CRUZ

Continued from page 1

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

Smith asked his daughter when he hugged her goodbye that morning “What if this is the last time I saw you?”

Cruz said his eldest daughter shared the same name as Smith’s daughter.

“We live in a world where so many others have had their lives destroyed by evil like Orlando and Paris and Nice and Baton Rouge,” he said.

“What if this is our last moment to do something for our families and our country? Did we live up to the values we say we believe?”

He asked.

He followed the theme of freedom, noting that “government power has been the unavoidable constant in life… but not here. We have no king of queen — we the people constrain government.”

“Our nation is exceptional because it was built on the five most beautiful words in the English language: ‘I want to be free,’” he said in his speech. “Never has that message been more needed than today. We stand here tonight

a nation divided.”

Cruz said that there is a profound difference between our two party’s vision for the future.

“Freedom means free speech not politically-correct safe spaces,” Cruz said in his speech. He added that freedom also means that states can govern themselves.

“That’s the way it’s supposed to be, diversity. If not, what’s the point of having states to begin with?”

“We must make the most of our moment to fight for freedom and to protect our Godgiven rights even with those with whom we don’t agree so that when we are old and gray and our work is done and we give those we love one final kiss goodbye, we will be able to say ‘Freedom matters, and I was part of something beautiful,’” Cruz said as he brought his speech to a close.

He called for listeners to act on their conscience and vote to “defend freedom.”

This was met with chants of “Donald Trump!” and “We want Trump!” from the floor.

Cruz then said he “appreciated” the enthusiasm of the New York delegation.

Why gender-inclusive language is important

ake a moment to answer this riddle: A father and son have a car accident and are both badly hurt. They are both taken to separate hospitals. When the boy is taken in for an operation, the surgeon says, “I cannot do the surgery because this is my son.” How is this possible?

Actually pause and answer this question.

If you didn’t guess that the surgeon is simply his mother, you’re part of a surprising majority. (Another reasonable, stereotypebusting answer is that the surgeon is the boy’s second, gay father.) When people read this story, they tend to overlook the possibility that the surgeon could be a she. As a society, we generally picture surgeons as men.

Psychological gender schemas are powerful in society.

Research suggests that regularly seeing examples of women outside of traditional gender roles on mass can slowly help change and eliminate these gender biases. The same most likely goes for other stereotypes, from race to class to ability to sexuality. Seeing regularly is believing. Slowly, it should change our unconscious assumptions, which in turn affect how we operate and move around the world, particularly within interpersonal interactions and relationships.

I look at past presidents of the United States and I do not see someone like myself represented. I look at the top executives of big companies and I do not see someone like myself represented. I look at Nobel-Prize-winning scientists and I do not see someone like myself represented.

I look at representations in the media at large and I do not see someone like myself represented.

I, for one, would like to see myself better represented around Princeton’s campus.

Marni Morse

senior columnist

As a woman, I’m often not reflected in the standard language used in publications. (Notably, this lack of representation is exponentially greater for racial, ethnic, class, gender, sexuality, religion, immigration status, and ability minorities.) That’s why Princeton’s new Office of Human Resources memo on gender-inclusive language is a positive step; it is a set of “recommendations for utilizing gender-inclusive language in official HR communications, policies, job descriptions, and job postings.”

As the document explains, “Gender-inclusive language is writing and speaking about people in a manner that does not use genderbased words when the gender is unknown or applies to a mixed gender group of individuals.” These changes are being made to better “reflect the inclusive culture and policies at Princeton University.” The recommendations include things like using gender-neutral pronouns in job postings so that it doesn’t inaccurately conjure a male image by using the male-normative. This way, the post doesn’t unconsciously discourage women from applying because it seems as though the job is intended for a man.

The required changes are quite minor, but over time and in mass can make a difference to how people see other people and the world.

In the meantime, it goes a long way to make women feel more included by being able to picture themselves in the language they see in University documents.

Critics have dismissed the new policy as political correctness gone too far. The policy change was mocked with headlines such as “Princeton HR department: Don’t use word

‘man’” and “Princeton scrubs ‘men’ from campus,” simplifying the reality. The critics do this without understanding the science behind the psychological phenomena our gendered language creates and the real world manifestations and effects of all of this.

It isn’t that women “cannot handle” terms like “forefather” or “mankind.” Please, we’ve been handling them for centuries. It’s that science actually shows that these changes are beneficial to creating a culture of inclusivity, both consciously and unconsciously. Nor are language recommendations forcing anyone into “regulated groupthink”; it is only a suggestion to think about how our language might affect others and changes that could remedy potential inequalities without harming anyone. In his letter to the editor yesterday, William Watson ’65 describes it as “harmless silliness.” In reality, the research suggests such a change is so much more than that — it is not just harmless, it is beneficial.

Admittedly, it is true that language changes are not the only obstacle to gender equality, in the workplace or the world. Changing language might not have the biggest effect on solving the problem. Policies such as paytransparency laws, child care options, and sexual harassment enforcing are all incredibly important of course, and perhaps have a greater contribution to gender equality than widespread use of gender-inclusive language.

But that reality doesn’t mean reflecting on and altering our language to be more genderinclusive is not part of the solution.

As a man, Mr. Watson may not immediately realize the effects of poor linguistic representation, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Extracurricular Activities and the Princeton Experience

he pre-frosh of last year are now officially students at Princeton and have been initiated into the Princeton experience: that magical four-year span of time in which you grow as a person and meet the wonderful people who will be your friends for the rest of your life. Along the way, you’re supposed to belong to a billion extracurricular clubs that will forever enrich the fabric of your being. I am no one to contradict this wonderful prophecy — I’m waiting for it to come true for myself. However, I’d like to add a grain of salt to the latter half of it. Equipped with all the wisdom accumulated over a year of being a Princeton student, I would like to address the freshmen directly when I say: extracurricular activities will be only as important in your life at Princeton as you make them.

Personally, I was convinced at the beginning of last year that my experience at Princeton depended on extracurricular activities. After attending the wonderfully well-populated activities fair, you probably have a similar idea. If you are anything like I was last year, you are going through the 26 emails that were sent out in the span of time from last night to this morning with increasing degrees of apprehension and excitement. Tigertones, Princeton Debate Panel, diSiac, Princeton Bhangra, and all the organizations on campus want you so badly that they must all simultaneously inundate you with GIFs. Every email has been starred because you feel that you could potentially become a Bhangra champion or an agile tennis player, if you so choose.

Then, you’ll come to this rude awakening: getting into Princeton has not liberated you from the task of filling out applications. There’s always that pesky Google form you must fill out. But wait! There are also tryouts, interviews, and resumes required for every type of group, whether dancing, singing, or debating.

Logically it makes sense: the reason why Princeton groups excel is because the students are incredibly skilled at what they do. The people in diSiac are exceptional at dancing and often have a background in ballet. Many of the people in Princeton Model United Nations have years of public speaking experience — some have attended every major Model United Nations con-

Bhaamati Borkhetaria columnist

ference in the country since their first year of high school. The young women in the Princeton Tigerlilies are trained in music, or at least have some measure of experience in singing.

That is not to say that there aren’t exceptionally skilled people who manage to join these organizations without prior background. After all, Princeton is known for having well-rounded, versatile students who can join any group and manage to flourish. However, for the organizations to hold the elite and revered place that they do in college competitions, beginners who do not show immediate skill are weeded out. Hence, the applications and the tryouts.

Unless you are one of the exceptionally versatile students who manages to learn a ballet routine in time for diSiac’s audition or learn the art of collegiate debate in time for the Debate Panel tryout, you might not be able to gain easy entry into activities that are new to you. I am not saying that everyone will encounter this problem. Many of you will get into clubs on your first try. However, many of you will not, which means that, at first, you will likely end up doing more of what you already are good at because other options aren’t open to you.

This doesn’t have to be a negative thing, but if, like me, you are someone who isn’t particularly musically inclined or rhythmically coordinated but still want to be part of the amazing communities that musical and dance groups can provide, you might soon be met with the very rejection letters that you thought you had managed evade during the college application process.

The realization that a lot of the clubs are exclusive should not deter you from applying to every club that looks interesting. The goal is to do something meaningful with your time while meeting more people.

By this time, I’m sure that many people have told you that they have met their best friends in the extracurricular they participate in. You might even have formed the vague idea that the groups you manage to join will determine all your social activities. This is not true. There are some people who make friends only in the activities they are part of, but more often than

not, the relationships formed in student groups are superficial and last about as long as the activity you are participating in. So it’s not the end of the world if you aren’t selected to be a part of a student organization.

As a freshman, the stakes for getting into groups are high.

It feels like a competition to see how many extracurricular activities you are a part of. It often becomes the case that students are itching to simply do something, and thereby end up wasting time in organizations that aren’t aren’t conducive to their growth. You don’t have to fall into this trap. Your worth as a Princeton student does not depend on how many clubs you are a part of or how many officer positions you hold. That is a mentality best left in high school. At Princeton, you have many resources at your disposal, from libraries to tennis courts, and four whole years to take advantage of them. You can make better use of your time even if you aren’t running to meetings and replying to emails every hour.

Enjoy your classes — you only get four years of them. Enjoy the company of the new friends you meet. Join the more inclusive clubs like the marching band, sing with Acapellago or play intramural sports. Or if there is a group that has rejected you but that you absolutely would love to join, prepare for it. Take singing lessons. Practice public speaking. Go to ballet lessons that the University offers.

For many students, making the most of the Princeton experience has become an elusive goal that must be attained, with extracurricular activities figuring prominently in this goal.

You cannot possibly chase an experience — it will be what it is and there is no use feeling stressed out about not getting into a particular club. I still feel that extracurricular activities are an integral part of my experience at Princeton, but I no longer stake my personal worth in belonging to as many clubs as I can. As for the clubs you really want to be in, there’s always next year and the year after that and the year after that to try out again for any club. After these four years, it will hardly matter if you were a part of diSiac or Model United Nations. You’ll have attained the Princeton experience either way.

good job.”

Lussi also attributes the team’s success to its dedication to improvement on as well as off of the soccer pitch.

“The team had a great preseason on and off the field,” commented Lussi, “We became closer than any Women’s Soccer Team during my three years at Princeton. Most top Division 1 Women’s Soccer Teams are highly skilled, well trained and conditioned and practice smart nutrition. The great teams play for a higher purpose than just winning championships – we are playing to help [Director of Athletics] Mollie [Marcoux], [Head Coach] Sean [Driscoll], [Assistant Coach] Kelly [Boudreau], [Assistant Coach] Mike [Poller], [Assistant Coach] Allison

[Nabatoff], and the entire Princeton athletic staff set the expectation that all Princeton athletic teams are not only from the best educational institution, but the best athletic institution.”

Regarding the team’s ultimate goals for the remainder for the fall, Lussi’s reply was simple, “Win the Ivy League, compete successfully for the College Cup and create the expectation of Princeton being the best soccer players and best student-athletes across all Division I collegiate sports.”

Scheduled to play at Yale this coming Saturday, the Tigers are indeed well on their way to this goal; Lussi summarized perfectly the team’s mindset as they prepare to open their Ivy League season: “We expect to play at a higher level and we’re prepared to do the work to make it happen.”
