Pride Alliance posters found torn down, ripped By Roberto Hasbun Contributor
On Friday, the Princeton Pride Alliance hung up 50 posters around campus to advertise an ice cream social for prospective Class of 2022 students visiting for Preview. Over the course of the weekend, however, the majority of the posters were torn or went missing. The purpose of the social was to help the admitted students feel welcome on campus and connect them with current students who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Scooter Liapin ’20, president of the alliance, said that he noticed some of the posters he had hung up near Mathey Courtyard were missing on Saturday morning. On Sunday, a fellow Pride Alliance member noted that additional posters had been taken down or ripped.
“It’s quite the wake-up call to find out that there are still people on campus who oppose our mission to provide resources and security to the LGBTQ+ community here at Princeton,” Liapin said. “We understand that there are people, especially on this campus, who don’t think we have the right to exist happily and securely, let alone exist at all.” Christian Flores ’21, vice president of the Pride Alliance, said that he found two posters on the ground, one of which was ripped in half. “Regardless of the intention, it seems like they were trying to harm the queer community on campus, and would not look good on the pre-frosh,” Flores said. Flores is a contributing copy editor for The Daily Princetonian. “It is incredibly disappointing to hear about the destruction of our posters, especially as this event was

meant to welcome prefrosh,” Anna Macknick ’21, who designed the posters, added. Eli Berman ’20 also expressed disappointment that the posters had been ripped down. “The ice cream social at my Preview was really important for me as a queer, non-binary trans student looking for LGBTQIA+ community in college,” Berman said. They added that prospective students should know that it’s not always easy to be LGBTQIA+ at the University, because the environment can sometimes feel unsupportive or even unsafe, but resources such as the LGBT Center can help students succeed and feel at home. “Know that there are LGBTQIA+ students at Princeton that are visible, proud, and thriving — we see you, we love you, and we welcome you into our community,” Berman said.

A poster advertising a white supremacist group was found near campus.
By Audrey Spensley Associate News Editor
A poster referring to “The White Race” as “Earth’s Most Endangered Species” was found on a lamppost outside FitzRandolph Gate on Monday. The underlined words “Help preserve it” were printed beneath a large picture of a mother holding a baby, followed by contact information for a white supremacist organization called the New Jersey European Heritage Association. Devin Kilpatrick ’19 noticed the f lyer at about 2:30 p.m. He notified a Public Safety officer, who stated that he would file a report. A picture of the f lyer was also posted on the organization’s website along with images of other posters reading, “We Must Secure the Existence of our People and a Future for White Children.”
The website also states that the group aims to publicize itself through “f lyering, banner drops, f lash protest, and various other mediums.” Kilpatrick noted that the timing of the poster coincided with Princeton Preview, when hundreds of prospective students are visiting campus. “I know things like this have happened in the past and I wondered if this was a stunt for Preview,” he said. Two anonymous f lyers advertising a mock course at the University, “Introduction to White Studies: White Guilt and Reparations,” were found posted on campus on Dec. 4, 2017. The Department of Public Safety and the New Jersey European Heritage Association could not be reached for comment at the time of publication.
The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office has released surveillance videos showing that the late Scott Mielentz, who was killed by state police officers at the Panera Bread at 136 Nassau St. on March 20, was armed with a black Crosman PFM BB Pistol. Computer-Aided Dispatch reports released with the video show that at 10:28 a.m. on March 20, the Princeton Police Department received a call from a man reporting “there’s a guy with a gun at Panera.” The pistol in Mielentz’s hand was later determined to have actually been a BB pistol. The video, which was published in Planet Princeton, shows state police officers engaged in a standoff with Mielentz from behind Panera’s trash and recycle depositories. Troopers were armed with M4 rif les, according to Planet Princeton. The standoff lasted five hours. The video shows that at approximately 2:54 p.m., two members of the New Jersey State Police Technical Emergency and Mission Specialists Unit fired at Mielentz, striking him in the head and torso. The video also shows that immediately before state police fired, Mielentz raised his BB gun towards them. The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office is investigating the use of deadly force by police.
On Sunday, April 8, there were two reported incidents of an individual using a cell phone to take pictures of male students while they were in bathroom stalls in Firestone Library. The first reported incident occurred at approximately 7:50 p.m. in the men’s bathroom on the A f loor, and the second reported incident occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m. in the men’s bathroom on the first f loor, according to the Department of Public Safety’s email alert.

Though Firestone is closed to the public, it is not clear whether the perpetrators were members of the University community, Day said. “This could be someone who was just passing through [campus], we just don’t know,” Day said.
Because students reported the incident promptly, the University will be able to do all it can to find those responsible. “People should be on the alert for anything suspicious, and that is exactly what happened here,” Day said.

Other panelists questioned the definitions of transparency and privacy in the modern age. The final panel, moderated by Deborah Amos from the National Public Radio, focused on deterrence, exploring which measures the United States can take to deter adversaries from spreading propaganda that causes unrest. Panelists included Christopher Fonzone, formerly with the White House and National Security Council; Admiral (Ret.) Cecil Haney, formerly with the United States Strategic Command; Mark R. Jacobson, from Georgetown University and formerly with the Secretary of Defense; Laura Rosenberger, from the Alliance for Securing Democracy; and Associate Professor of Politics and International Affairs Jacob N. Shapiro. The panelists began by questioning what exactly the United States is trying to deter. While they jokingly claimed that we ought to always try to deter ignorance, the conversation shifted to a more serious tone when the

issue of Russian disinformation was addressed. Rosenberger began to answer the daunting question by pointing out something that the United States is not trying to deter: influence. “Countries do influence,” Rosenberger said. “That is part of how countries project power beyond their borders.” The blurred lines between hard and soft power that countries employ are related
to the idea of sharp power, which penetrates the political and information environments in targeted countries, Rosenberger added. General (Ret.) Michael V. Hayden, from the United States Air Force and formerly with the Central Intelligence Agency, gave the closing keynote. Throughout his keynote, Hayden emphasized how the rights of the American people are
continuously challenged and that they must be tended to. Particularly, the success of Russian covert influence has created a crater in the relationship between the Trump administration and the CIA. Hayden explained that our only salvation lies in fixing our political culture. “If you can’t have truth, you’ve got no foothold to brace yourself, to push back against the misuse of pow-
er,” Hayden said. “If there is no truth, you have no tools to push back against abuse.” He concluded with a quote from Holocaust historian Timothy Snyder: “Post-truth is pre-fascism.” The forum, entitled “Defending Democracy: Civil and Military Responses to Weaponized Information,” was held on Saturday, April 7, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Friend Center.

In defense of architectural modernism: The School of Architecture Gabe Lipkowitz
Contributing Columnist
T
he assault on architectural modernism on campus continues. As happens every spring, tour groups parading around north campus frequently criticize one building: the School of Architecture. Built at the height of architectural modernism in 1963, SoA’s design is frequently described as an aesthetic misfit compared with Collegiate Gothic buildings like McCosh Hall. Some have even gone so far to call it “the ugliest building on campus.” While I understand that consideration of architecture is subjective, these criticisms all too often possess remarkable superficiality. While they insult the SoA building
as ugly, few articulate why they think so or define what they mean by “ugly.” Many claims are presented as objective truths rather than subjective opinions. Instead of, “I find its architecture unappealing,” many declare, “what an ugly building.” If I were to guess why so many find the SoA unattractive, I would say there are two reasons: its lack of surface ornamentation and its simple brick and glass materials. Both characteristic of architectural modernism, these features do not impress a viewer who craves immediate satisfaction from novel or radical features in architecture. Nonetheless, those two qualities in the SoA’s architecture are in fact quite moving and reveal the unappreciated power of Modernist architecture, when viewed carefully. First, the building’s lack of ornamentation is far from a deficit, and instead encourages the viewer to concentrate on the building’s fundamental architectural qualities.
Without the distraction of a detailed gargoyle, a viewer may contemplate the building’s remarkable geometric form. The SoA is constructed from an evenly spaced series of enlarged brick slabs, each coplanar with the others. Extending beyond the base of the building, these create a palimpsest, or deliberate overlapping of spatial planes, which creates playful shadows during the late afternoon. Interspersed between these brick walls at regular intervals are vertically high windows, which both permeabilize the surface as a whole and accomplish the goal of separating each wall segment from its neighbor. In sum, a lack of decoration on the SoA building’s facade hardly takes away from its aesthetic value; rather, it encourages the viewer to appreciate its profound sense of balance and rhythm. Likewise, SoA’s unadorned brick material is enthralling. From years of exposure to the seasons, these bricks have attained a weath-
ered consistency. These real bricks, unlike the artificial material that clothes Lewis Library, show aging and impart the building with a profound aura of timelessness. Furthermore, their rugged opacity is highlighted by juxtaposition with transparent glass windows interspersed between. Such a visual contrast demands the viewer to ponder the contrast between physicality and immateriality. Together SoA’s simple brick and glass construction is not ostentatious, but nonetheless produces an intense materiality that can be enticing to the patient viewer. In describing the SoA this way, I hope to show that many of the qualities that some deride in fact possess tremendous value. When we critique other modernist buildings on campus like it, we should be careful not to overlook their perhaps subtle beauty. Gabriel Lipkowitz is a junior concentrator in molecular biology.

Modest and radical proposals Sinan Orzby
Contributing Columnist
I
f you told your friends that you were entertaining some controversial view — perhaps that you doubted the existence of man-made climate change, or that you weren’t exactly clear on why stationing guards at schools would make them less safe, or that you could see how lower taxes for the rich might stimulate economic growth — how would they reply? I imagine you would be met with shock, anger, disgust, and, most likely, dismissal. I believe that such reactions are ill-founded. Liberals should instead entertain and discuss the heterodox views their peers hold to maximize the chance that their ideas succeed. We have a series of strong social conventions about what we can publicly say and which political views we publicly hold. These conventions are a good thing — they are a powerful tool for building consensus. However, it seems that too many of our social conventions about politics have become too rigid, and this poses many risks to society. We risk creating misunderstanding of where it was that these dominant views came from and why they are true. We risk ceding our ability to build consensus among a broad range of opinions. We risk our ability to make progress. Instead, all sorts
of political views should be entertained and discussed — everything from modest proposals to radical ones, from those of our friends to those of our enemies. I believe that if the views are truly wrong, they will eventually be buried. “But, Sinan, surely you don’t think that we should enter into discussion with a Republican who wants to repeal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and strip away the rights of real human beings? Or to discuss with someone whose view is that systematic oppression doesn’t exist? Or to sit down with someone who defends the Burmese government’s actions against the Rohingya? These are people you cannot reason with.” I disagree. While these people do hold severely and deeply incorrect views, I don’t think they are, for the most part, stupid, deranged, or vicious people. If the Republican thinks, for instance, that the U.S. government has a primary obligation to its citizens and that immigrants are bad for the country, then his conclusion about DACA would follow from his beliefs. Of course, our government’s obligation extends far beyond its borders, and immigrants are what made this country great. These facts make their belief false. But the fact stands: Most people hold their views only circumstantially. When people find themselves on the
wrong side, it is often due to the fact that that is the view they have heard for their entire lives without hearing the other side, or that they haven’t seen the evidence that disproves their view, or that they haven’t thought their view through. Systematic oppression exists, not just because we think it exists, but because it is the state of the world. If there are objective reasons for believing so (there are more than I can count), we should be able to explain those reasons to someone who opposes our belief. And presumably, if we are right, our opponent is wrong for objective reasons. We should be able to see where the flaw is. Consider an example more personal to me. When somebody tells me that Islam is an inherently violent or oppressive religion, I feel troubled. This is a claim I seriously believe to be false. But it isn’t false because the view is bigoted. It is bigoted because the view is false. Of course, once you consider the wide variety of ways the religion has been practiced throughout history, as well as the way that religious scripture itself really has no bearing on where and in what form you would expect so-called religious violence to occur, it becomes clear that this charge against Islam is false. But it is not self-evidently false. If it seems so, that is because of our conventions. It is less self-evident to many people
in this country. I imagine it would be more convincing if they knew about Sufism, the Ottoman empire, and religious practices in Indonesia. Many of them do not. While it’s true that too many people believe this false claim about a major world religion, it is also true that too few of us with the correct view are equipped to respectfully deconstruct the view of those who are wrong. They are not wrong because we think they are wrong. They are wrong because their view doesn’t match up with the facts. Our social conventions have simply run out of steam. There are too many defectors from what was once the consensus, too many who think the mainline view is constructed, and too few who know where to go from here. When our social conventions become more and more rigid, we consider the views that those conventions purport as self-evident. What is the way to bring someone over when they don’t see things as we do or when the force of the convention simply gives out? I think we have to talk to them, show them evidence, and make them aware of their biases. Most importantly, I think we have to entertain their radical proposals. If this all seems like little more than abstract intellectual discussion about the freedom of speech, I’d ask you to consider the very real and concrete alternative to engaging with those we disagree

with. It’s obvious that at least part of the reason why demagogues like President Donald Trump, Rodrigo Duterte, and Marine Le Pen gain traction at what seem like rather unexpected moments is that the above-mentioned defectors come out of the woodwork to support them. It is when consensus seems the strongest that members of that consensus are most ready to dismiss opposing views, angering those with heterodox views and creating political turmoil.

Men’s lacrosse dominates Stony Brook, now seeks first road win against Sienna By Owen Tedford Staff Writer
This past weekend, the men’s lacrosse team (4–5 overall, 0–3 Ivy League) hosted Stony Brook (4–7) in its second to last nonconference game of the season. Princeton took an early lead on a goal from sophomore attack Michael Sowers just over a minute into the game. The Tigers would never look back from this and built a 10–3 lead by halftime. Princeton would go on to win 16–8 behind solid performances from Sowers, senior midfielder Austin Sims, and freshman midfielder Chris Brown Sowers had nine points on the day — four goals, five assists — and Brown and Sims each had five points with four goals and an assist. Sowers and Brown both continued their career streaks of two points per game and a goal per game, respectively. Both are also the only two current players to have started every game of their careers at Princeton. A recent breakout star for the Tigers has been first-
year midfielder Luke Crimmins. Crimmins scored his first career goal against Brown last week and scored another two goals last weekend against Stony Brook. Before these games, Crimmins had only played once for Princeton. Crimmins is part of a talented first-year class that includes longstick midfielder Andrew Song, who leads the team in caused turnovers with 11, and defender George Baughan, who is second in that category. Song is also the only longstick to have scored this year. Coming into the matchup versus Stony Brook, the Tigers were looking to perfect their game before going into the rest of their Ivy League schedule. Princeton was able to do the little things right against the Seawolves like clearing, winning face-offs, and limiting turnovers. Entering the game, the Tigers were 66th of 69 teams in Division I in clearing, but went 14 for 14 on Saturday. In addition, having struggled from the face-off X all season, senior midfielder Sam
Bonafede turned it around and went 18 of 27 and had 13 ground balls, a game high for Princeton this season. The Tigers will have another chance to prepare for the end of the season Tuesday as they travel to Loudonville, N.Y., to take on Siena for the first time ever. Princeton will be looking for its first road win of the season, and it could not come at a better time before the final three Ivy League games of the season against Dartmouth, Harvard, and Cornell. For the Tigers to have a chance at the Ivy League tournament — which only takes the top four teams — they will have to win all three remaining league games and get some help, as they currently sit tied for last at 0–3 with Dartmouth. Currently, both Cornell and Harvard are in the top four. As the old adage goes, “if you want to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best.” Tuesday’s game will not be available to watch online, but listeners can tune in live on TuneIn.com digital radio.

MEN’S AND WOMEN’S TENNIS
Tennis teams hopeful for Ivy success By Alissa Selover Staff Writer
With the NCAA tournament still on the top of its mind, the Princeton men’s tennis team (16–9 overall, 1–2 Ivy) went up against two top-50 teams as it continued its Ivy League play. At their Ivy home opener on Friday, April 6, the Tigers defeated Cornell (7–9, 0–2) 4–3 in multiple close matches. Head coach Billy Pate said that he is “very proud of how his men played during their matches, especially after facing a tough loss from UPenn earlier in the week.” On Sunday, April 8, the Tiger men faced Columbia (13–3, 2–0) in what ended as a 0–4 defeat and a split weekend for the men. Pate said that in this match, the Tigers played good tennis, but it wasn’t enough. “They simply couldn’t execute, but they are looking forward to getting more work in before their Ivy League play continues,“ Pate said. The Tigers still remain hopeful for the rest of the season and plan to use their two losses as learning experiences and motivation in order to advance to the NCAA tournament. With four matches remaining in the season, the Tiger men need to go on a run in their conference. This weekend, Yale (10–7, 0–1) and Brown (14–7, 0–2) will both travel to Princeton in order to compete in two matches. Princeton will play Yale on Satur-
