and Taco Bell, lined the street providing free food. Large crowds of students were more than happy to partake.

“It was a lot of fun,” Mia Rosini ’21 said. “Everyone was there dancing.”

Despite the mayhem of Lawnparties, Orange Key Tours still took place, and visitors on campus were present to see the activities of the day. Paige Allen ’21 and Mallory Williamson ’21 were the two tour guides on shift for the morning.

Allen is a staff copy editor for The Daily Princetonian, and Williamson is staff writer for the ‘Prince.’

“The first thing I started

with was, ‘I bet you’re wondering what the heck is happening on campus today,’” Allen said.

“I was surprised at how receptive they were. I’ve had some interesting experiences giving tours on Sunday Funday, but I think since Lawnparties are more structured and everybody looks nice, it actually made the tour group excited.”

Guiding the tour groups around during Lawnparties turned out to be a little more logistically difficult than usual.

“We start at Frist every weekend, so as soon as we came out there were students everywhere,” Williamson said. “Getting my tour group around all of

the people was insane.”

Allen said the tour group did have some questions about drinking on campus, but their reactions to seeing Lawnparties were mostly positive.

“Every time I give a tour, someone asks me if we actually have fun at Princeton,” Williamson said. “No one asked me that today.”

Several freshmen interviewed by the ‘Prince’ said they enjoyed the spring Lawnparties far more than the event in the fall, because they had since made more friends and gotten a better hold on the University’s social scene.

Liz Fuller-Wright discusses Co-ops and teaching, science writing independents

By Katie Tam Contributor

Liz Fuller-Wright, a science writer for the University’s Office of Communications, is always exploring new worlds and learning new things.

As an undergraduate at Amherst College, she majored in geology and minored in English. In her senior year, she took a class called Planetary Science, where she investigated volcano-ice interactions on Mars. Driven by the “huge questions” still left about conditions beyond Earth, she attended gradu-

ate school in geology before deciding that it wasn’t for her.

This put Fuller-Wright on a winding path to her current career. For two years, she taught eighth-grade science in Houston with Teach For America, a nonprofit that sends recent college graduates to teach in low-income schools. She struggled with maintaining a comfortable space for her students in a public school that was not the safest place.

“My two years in Houston taught me how to have a healthy classroom culture,” Fuller-Wright See WRITING page 2

right after OA, and I just knew my OA group and my ’zee group, basically,” Rosini said. “It was a little more stressful the first time, but this time was a lot more fun.”

For many, from first-years to seniors, the high turnout at Lawnparties meant getting to see people from class, from clubs, and all facets of campus life coming together.

“Spring Lawnparties are a little bit better than the fall, because by the spring parties you’ve made friends and you’re able to interact with people no matter where you go,” said Serna. “I think that’s one of the best parts.”

host second Yardparties

By Ben Ball Staff Writer

Co-op members and independent students hosted Yardparties, an outdoor celebration with homemade food and live music, on Saturday, May 5.

“It brings people from so many different sections of campus together,” said Alex Gottlieb ’18, a member of Real Food Co-op, who organized the event. “We just wanted to create these open and inclusive spaces on campus as the ideal way to wrap up the end of classes.”

Members of the Two Dickinson Street Co-op, Brown Co-op, International Food Co-op, Real Food Co-op, and Scully Co-op cooked and provided the food for the event. Pink House food share also helped with preparations.

“We have people who are really passionate about cooking, and we like to share that knowledge,” said Remi Shaull-Thompson ’19, a member of Pink House, who made key lime pies with some friends for the event. “The element of food See YARDPARTIES page 4

WEATHER

Under an overcast sky, Undergraduate Student Government hosted the spring 2018 Lawnparties on Prospect Avenue this Sunday, May 6.

The day’s activities began at 10 a.m., with students lining up to receive event wristbands at 1879 Arch and take pictures with one another at the Wilson School fountain.

“I think it was a really good time,” Alex Serna Castillon ’21 said. “I think this is one of the few times of the year where you can forget about your stresses and all the things you have to do.”

Student performer Russell Kim ’20, whose stage name is DJ Vod Van Cran, kicked off the day of musical performances at 11 a.m., performing on the lawn of the Bendheim Center for Finance.

Doors opened for the main show at 2:30 p.m. The headliner for the event, rapper Vince Staples, performed at Quadrangle Club.

DJ BBowl, the stage name of Brendan Bowling ’18, opened for Staples.

“The turnout to Lawnparties was great,” Tori Gorton ’21 said.

“Everyone I knew had a really great time, and Vince Staples was amazing.”

Other musical acts of the day, hosted by various eating clubs, included Evan Lee and Oliver at Tiger Inn; White Wedding, an ’80s cover band, at Cottage Club; Original Peaches, Future Generations, and Beshken at Terrace Club; Relley Rozay at Cannon Dial Elm Club; Shwayze at Cap & Gown Club; Lawrence at Ivy Club; Audien at Colonial Club; Michael Carsley at Cloister Inn; and Phoebe Ryan at Tower Club.

said. “But I didn’t know how to create a safe space outside my classroom door.”

She then moved to Washington, D.C., teaching seventh- and eighthgrade math and science at a charter school for a year. Fuller-Wright soon realized that teaching “was not a terrific fit.”

Fuller-Wright worked hard to improve her classroom management skills for three years, improving but never excelling. An article she read that suggested playing to your strengths rather than developing your weaknesses made her reevaluate her career. FullerWright decided that rather than trying to force herself to improve at something she was weaker at — teaching — she wanted to focus on what she was good at — writing.

Teaching and science writing do have “significant overlap” in the ways that they require you to

explain concepts to others, FullerWright said.

“But in the places where they don’t overlap, I’m much more a science writer,” she added.

“I always loved writing. Words just poured out of me. And there wasn’t a role for that as a teacher.

Those gifts were just lying fallow,” Fuller-Wright said.

More specifically, Fuller-Wright pinpoints her interest in science writing to her freshman year in college. Confused by a concept in her environmental chemistry course, she went door-to-door looking for someone who could help her. She was stunned by the number of people who said they couldn’t do science or didn’t want to do science.

“At a profound level, that almost offended me. It upset me that people had written off all of the natural sciences,” Fuller-Wright said. “The phrase ‘I can’t do science.’ I want to eradicate that from the English language.”

She made it her goal to turn sci-

ence into something more relatable.

After vacationing in the Middle East, Fuller-Wright fell in love with the region and applied to work there through the Peace Corps.

For two years, she planned environmental curriculum materials for students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. She also kept a blog that caught the eye of the Christian Science Monitor’s Middle East editor, who liked the way she wrote about the region.

When Fuller-Wright returned to the United States, she worked on and off with the magazine for seven years, mostly reporting on science-related stories.

Finally, in 2017, Fuller-Wright moved to the Princeton area and began working at the University.

As a daily part of her job, she spends time sifting through research, looking for exciting topics to cover.

“There’s an endless abundance of science happening, everywhere, all the time,” Fuller-Wright said.

After identifying an interesting topic, Fuller-Wright works to learn enough about the subject to write about it clearly. She does everything from reading undergraduate textbooks and Wikipedia articles to combing through the articles with the researchers themselves.

Her ultimate goal is to help scientists translate their work to a broader audience. Often, this involves using metaphors and phrases like “imagine this,” “what if,” and “picture this” to communicate the concepts.

Fuller-Wright’s favorite thing about her job is learning new things.

“I get to never stop learning. Every day, you learn something you didn’t know before,” she said.

Her most recent knowledge has come from the work of Sabine Petry, an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biology.

Petry’s laboratory recently made a groundbreaking discovery about the assembly of microtubules, a fundamental structural com-

ponent of cells. The lab hopes to grow new shapes and build these microtubules from scratch, FullerWright explained.

Her advice to a budding science writer is to read the great science writers and learn from their style.

“There’s a grace to good science writing,” she said. “Good science writing has a gentleness and lightness to it.”

Fuller-Wright feels that the culture towards science has been hostile in recent times. Higher education and science are viewed with “condescension and contempt,” she said.

To that end, Fuller-Wright encourages future writers to enter the field.

“There’s never been a greater need for good science writing,” she said. “People who can make science inviting, entertaining, and welcoming are desperately needed right now.”

The PNC met once a month over the course of the school year, reviewing portrait suggestions submitted by the Princeton community, researching potential candidates, and, ultimately, producing a short list of portrait recommendations.

According to committee member Amina Simon ’18, the portraits are “something that should have always been around.”

To Simon, the lack of diversity in the University’s iconography could sometimes make the campus feel exclusionary, or as a space that only belonged to a certain demographic.

“These people are receiving an honor they deserve,” Simon said.

“I think it plays a subtle but powerful role in showing what the University stands for.”

Psychology and Visual Arts student Jessica Zhou ’19 echoed these sentiments, who said she wants the campus iconography to resonate with students more.

“If anything, it should have been done earlier,” Zhou said.

Politics Professor Amaney Jamal represented one of a diverse range of academic disciplines invited to participate in the PNC, and she emphasized the importance of having a broad range of perspectives.

“These portraits help capture the true intellectual diversity and historical diversity of the institu-

tion,” Jamal said.

Jamal also spoke about the kind of politics that surround representation and argued that it’s not enough to just document contributions.

“How those contributions are showcased or staged or packaged really influences the way people might assess other groups’ contributions to society,” Jamal said. “It really diversifies that image.”

Still, these portraits are just a start.

“It’ll be a small drop in the bucket of the work that Princeton needs to do,” Simon said.

Simon also expressed disappointment that the final decision for portraits was not in the hands

of the committee.

“While I was able to bring a perspective, ultimately I don’t think I had that much power,” Simon said.

Simon believes the final decisions were made by President Eisgruber, Campus Iconography Committee Co-Chair Treby Williams, and Provost and Professor Deborah Prentice.

Other members of the committee such as Professor William Gleason and University Archivist Daniel Linke were not available for comment at the time of publication.

The University will now go about selecting artists, and the portraits will appear around campus over the next two years.

How the Indian government is shifting public focus away from rape culture Morgan Lucey

Contributing Columnist

I

n early January, Asifa Bano, an 8-year-old girl in Northern India, was repeatedly raped and then murdered after being taken from a meadow where her cows were grazing. Bano was a member of the Bakarwals, a tribe of nomads who wander Northern India and purchase leases on land for their herds.

In recent years, there has been a rise of anti-Bakarwal sentiment among the Hindu people in the Northern Kathua region. Police believe that the crime against Bano was perpetrated by at least three men in a nearby temple owned by an anti-Bakarwal leader. As a result, many sources have called Bano’s rape a hate crime against the Muslim Bakarwal people, meant to drive them out of their land. However, this label of a religious hate crime shifts focus from what the crime actually was: the rape of a young girl, in a country where this is far too common.

Allegedly, the culprits confessed to targeting the young girl to drive away the other members of the Bakarwal tribe. However, the fact that they targeted a young girl through sexual violence, rather than murdering any member of the tribe without rape, points to the larger issue of sexual violence against women. There is a prevalent culture of acceptance of sexu-

al violence against women in India, and it persists despite repeated outrage over various incidents. Some speculate that the rape culture stems from the caste system, which strongly values men over women. Others argue that it could also be caused by interpretations of Hindu religious scripture, in which deceit and rape against female characters is common. No matter what the cause, the threat of sexual violence haunts Indian women, especially given that victims themselves are often blamed without any justice.

The leaders of the Indian government are responsible for the misappropriation of blame from the perpetrators to the victims, who often lack a voice in the criminal proceedings due to social invisibility or incapacitation. Up until this past week, Bano’s rape and murder had not garnered much attention; the only reason it come into public focus now is that a group of male police officers, the majority of whom were Muslim or openly sympathetic to the Bakarwals, were affected.

A group of Hindu lawyers had physically prevented them from trying to file her case at a courthouse. This event was reported in major newspapers, as the conflict between the lawyers and police officers displays a rift between Hindu and Muslim populations. On the other hand, the initial rape itself did not make headlines, despite its tragedy and brutality. It seems that for the government, the rape and murder of an 8-year-old girl was not worth addressing until it became an issue of

religion. By failing to address the crime until it became a matter of religion, the case of Bano’s rape has become another example of the divide between Muslim and Hindu populations in India, rather than an example of the persistent rape culture.

The religious divide in India is certainly a significant problem, and it needs to be addressed. But using Asifa Bano as an example through which to protest religious divisions shifts focus away from the more urgent threat of sexual violence that women in India face on a daily basis. Women in India face the daily threat of sexual assault every time they step out of their front doors, whether or not they are accompanied.

This threat affects the quality of life and and subsequent actions of women, putting it at the top of the list of priorities for resolution. As a result of this and similar misrepresentations of issues of sexual violence, the efforts to educate men about sexual assault are largely self-selecting and may not actually target the men who are likely to commit these assaults or the women who are most at risk. For example, efforts are being made to educate women on how to fight back: a recent effort by New Delhi police to host selfdefense classes for women represents major progress in empowering women to commandeer autonomy over their own bodies. The same agency that teaches the self-defense classes also offers a course for men on how to help women who are being attacked. However, the men who sign up

Lawnparties

DOra zhao ’21 and jon ort ’21 ..................................................

for such a course on how to prevent sexual assault are unlikely to be perpetrators themselves. Because of this, the course will do little to change the culture of sexual violence, even if it serves to decrease the rates of sexual assault. Thus, there must be a widespread effort by the Indian government to change the rape culture, through demonstrations of just punishment for perpetrators and mandated education on gender equality for all men.

The first step of creating this change is allowing discourse specifically focusing on sexual violence against women to take root in the Indian government without shifting public focus onto other issues. Leaders of the police force and government should refer to sexual assaults as rape, not as religious hate crimes. Similarly, the general population should be allowed to discuss these cases without retribution or fear of social stigma. Victims are not to blame. As an extension to the sexual assault prevention courses discussed above, primary and secondary education in India should focus on eradicating victim blaming through educating children on the factors that actually lead to rape. This will represent a recognition of what rape actually is: not just a hate crime against a certain ethnic group or caste but a hate crime against women.

is bringing people together.”

According to Sonia Howlett ’18, a member of Real Food Co-op, the co-ops divided the task of making food. Club members prepared the food in their respective residencies the morning before coming together for the main event in the afternoon.

“I feel a real sense of community here,” said Zaynab Zaman ’18, an independent

student. “They’ve made an effort to have a really nice environment.”

All the live music was performed by students as well, with performances by the groups Sensemaya and MrE. Although the event was hosted primarily by students in co-ops and other independent students, the event was open to all and was attended by nearly 300 students, including many underclassmen.

“I think it’s marketed as a great way for upperclassmen to come together, which I

think is really exciting and there’s not enough of,” said Howlett. “I also really love how many sophomores and freshmen are here and seeing what it might be like to be an independent or in a co-op.”

Gottlieb and others present made a clear distinction between Yardparties and Lawnparties; they described Yardparties as a less hectic affair. Many attendants said they also planned on attending Lawnparties, as well as eating club formals and semi-formals.

“This feels more like a barbecue than like a concert where you have to clamor to the front,” said ShaullThompson. “It feels less hectic; it feels like the job is just to hang out, instead of having to run around from yard to yard.”

The first Yardparties took place two years ago. However, according to Gottlieb, independents and co-op members were unable to get funding for Yardparties last year. This year, with the help of funding from USG, they were able to hold the

event for a second time.

“So much of the value of being in a co-op is about providing for your community,” said Gottlieb. “Most of us find something really fulfilling about that, which is why we’re in co-ops or why we’re independent; to be able to share that with a broader segment of the population than normal is special, even if it’s only this one day.”

Yardparties took place on Saturday, May 5, 1–5 p.m. on the lawn of 2 Dickinson St., the home of the 2D Co-op.

Women’s lacrosse wins Ivy League, earns automatic bid to NCAA tournament

By David Xin

Head Sports Editor

The women’s lacrosse team defeated Columbia and Penn in the Ivy League Tournament this Friday and Sunday to claim an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship and their fourth Ivy League Championship. The No. 1 Tigers started the first round of the tournament with a strong performance against the Lions, beating Columbia 17–7.

The 10-point margin of victory was the largest in the Ivy League Tournament.

Princeton then advanced to face the Quakers, edging past Penn 13–10 to claim the Tournament title.

In a repeat of their last conference game, Princeton faced a familiar foe in the Lions. The Tiger’s win over Columbia helped them earn the regular season Ivy League title. This time, the Princeton team was looking for a trip to the finals of the Ivy League Tournament.

Princeton opened the match with a strong start, taking a commanding 10-point lead, including one run of three goals in 46 seconds. The Tigers’ remarkable offense was complemented by an impressive defense that kept the Lions

scoreless until there was 1:20 remaining in the first half. The second half was more balanced, with both teams trading blows. A late Columbia 5–2 rally would cut the deficit to seven, but the Tigers were never really threatened as they claimed an important win in the postseason. Princeton has yet to be defeated by Columbia in their face-to-face matchups.

With the win, Princeton was scheduled to face Penn in the final of the Tournament. The Tigers had defeated the Quakers by a record margin earlier in the season. That had been a crucial game as Princeton’s title hopes were on the line.

Now the two teams faced each other again, with a coveted NCAA Championship spot at risk.

Once again, the Tigers

jumped to a strong start going up 2–0. Penn quickly responded with two goals of their own. The rest of the game proved to be a dogfight as the game was tied on seven separate occasions. Every time the Princeton side would try and build a lead, Penn would find a way to claw back.

However, despite Penn rallying, the Tiger defense never allowed the Quakers

to take the lead. Princeton would end the first half up one point, 7–6.

The Princeton team would finally separate themselves from Penn when sophomore attacker Tess D’Orsi helped Princeton grab its first two-goal lead in the second half with a free-position goal at 7:14.

She would score four goals and dish one assist, netting her 100th career point in the game.

Junior attacker Elizabeth George, senior midfielder Ellie McNulty, D’Orsi, freshman defender Mary Murphy and freshman attacker Kyla Sears were all named to the all-tournament team. George earned the distinction of Most Outstanding Player, as she scored six goals and won 16 draw controls during the tournament.

The Tigers will have plenty to be proud of as they look back on the season. Despite growing pains early on with a young squad, the Princeton team managed to persevere and find their rhythm. Now, with an Ivy League title and tournament win under their belt, the team looks forward to the challenges of the NCAA Championship.

Women’s lacrosse defeated Columbia and Penn to win the Ivy League Tournament this weekend

Weekend review Men’s track and field @ Franklin Field: 1st Place in Outdoor Ivy Heps The Tigers won their ninth triple crown in track and field events by placing first in the Outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at Franklin Field in Philadelphia this weekend. The win clinched the fourth triple crown victory for the Tigers in their last eight years, continuing a dominant trend in the sport for the Orange and Black. Entering the final day trailing by seven points, Princeton jumped on every team with a strong performance in the third event of the day: the 1500.

They would finish the day with six event wins and points in 14 of the final 15 events. The Tigers would also take home individual accolades as senior Mitchel Charles won the Most Outstanding Field Performer of the Meet and senior Josh Ingalls took home the Most Outstanding Track Performer of the Meet. Up next for the Tigers is a meet at their home Weaver Stadium, as they will host the IC4A Championships.

Women’s lacrosse vs. Penn: W 13–10 The No. 15 Tigers defeated the No. 13 Quakers earlier today to claim the Ivy League Tournament Title. Jumping out to an early 2–0 lead, Princeton eventually lost the lead but would make a roaring comeback to steal the championship in one of the most exciting victories of the season. With the win, the Tigers also sweep Ivy rival Penn this season and extend their all time rivalry lead to 26–22–3. Junior attacker Elizabeth George made a hat trick for the Tigers and earned the Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player Award. Sophomore midfielder Tess D’Orsi also had a big day, scoring four goals and assisting on the eventual game winning goal to earn her 100th career point as a Tiger. Princeton will now wait and see whom they will play in the NCAA Tournament; the selection show is Sunday night at 9:30 p.m.

Baseball @ Dartmouth: L 0–3 A disappointing season came to a disappointing end this weekend for Princeton baseball as they suffered a sweep in a three-game road series against Dartmouth. After a promising 7–5 start to Ivy League play, the team finished the season on a 10-game losing streak and a 7–14 conference record. None of the games this weekend against Dartmouth were particularly close — the team lost 14–3 and 16–1 in Saturday’s doubleheader and fell 6–2 in Sunday’s season finale.

Performances of the week Senior Mitchel Charles and Josh Ingalls (men’s track and field) The pair of seniors took home the highest individual accolades at the Ivy League Heps this weekend. Charles won the Most Outstanding Field Performer of the Meet with individual victories in both the shotput and discus. In the shotput, Charles scored a 16.77 on his final throw to propel him into the lead; later on he would throw a season best 52.07 in this discus to win that event as well. Ingalls took home the Most Outstanding Track Performer of the Meet with his efforts in the 800 and the 4x800 events. Ingalls will also go down in Ivy Heps history with his 800 time of 1:47.76, the second fastest in the history of the meet. The pair helped clinch the Tigers’ ninth Triple Crown.

Junior attacker Elizabeth George (women’s lacrosse) George may have not been the sole reason why the Tigers won the Ivy League Tournament Title, but she certainly helped the team along. The junior posted back-to-back hat tricks in Princeton’s wins over Cornell and Penn. Her efforts earned her the Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player Award.

Softball vs. Cornell: L 1–2 For the first time since 2015, softball will not be participating in the Ivy League Championship Series. Its season came to an end this weekend with a home series loss against Cornell; the team finished with an 8–13 record in the Ivy League. Each of the games against Cornell was tightly contested. Princeton lost the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader 7–6 after Cornell scored the go-ahead run in the final inning and won the second 5–2. In the series finale, Princeton held Cornell to just one run in the first inning but failed to score any of its own, eventually falling 1–0.
