Jennifer Rubin talks democracy and resistance in the Trump era

By Caitlin Limestahl Contributor

Jennifer Rubin speaks in the Friend Center.

U . A F FA I R S

In a talk at the Friend Center on Wednesday, Jennifer Rubin, opinion writer for the Washington Post, reassured the audience that United States democracy is in better shape than the public thinks and that a spike in civic engagement indicates a promising future for the country.

“The governing narrative that you often hear is that democracies around the world are under attack and that they are crumbling. The first part of that is absolutely true. The second part of that, the crumbling part, I think is actually wrong, and refreshingly so,” Rubin said. “I would make the case that a lot of these institutions are actually doing fairly well.”

Rubin pointed to the impeachment proceedings, “vigorous” press coverage, and active

courts for evidence of the system’s success.

“Our democracy is in better health than one might expect,” she said, before citing the unprecedented voter turnout of the 2018 election.

Rubin also talked in depth about the new role women have taken on in post-Trump America.

She said the surge in women running for office, the Women’s March, and the #MeToo movement were all products of Trump winning the presidency.

“It was a tremendous shock that was felt when they witnessed this election of a man who was clearly unqualified, clearly misogynistic, and he had just beaten the first major-party woman nominee who was infinitely more qualified and more knowledgeable.

How could this happen in America? How could Americans have done See RUBIN page 3

STUDENT LIFE

Marx Hall, 36 University Place to be renamed Contributor

The University is asking for suggestions for the renaming of two prominent buildings: Marx Hall and 36 University Place.

Marx Hall, located on Washington Road, currently houses seminar rooms, academic offices, and the University Center for Human Values, while 36 University Place is home to the U-Store and the Center for Career Development.

The University said in an announcement on Wednesday that the new names “should not affect functions inside the spaces.”

However, the University also stated that lower lev-

els of 36 University Place will be undergoing renovations to add an auxiliary visitor center for the Office of Admissions. The center will open in the summer of 2020 and serve students and parents visiting the University.

“As 36 University Place becomes an increasingly important venue for both prospective and current students, I believe we have a timely opportunity to reinforce our commitment to diversity and inclusivity by placing an appropriate name on this building,” President Eisgruber said in a statement.

Marx Hall, built in 1993, was originally named for Louis Marx ’53.

On Monday, Oct. 7, the Davis International Center bulletin board in Frist Campus Center was transformed into a Lennon Wall, an eclectic display of solidarity with the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.

The Lennon Wall has been a symbol of the pro-democratic demands for the Hong Kong movement since the 2014 Umbrella Movement. Borrowed from the famous anti-government John Lennon Wall in Prague that demanded the democratization of a communist Czech Republic in the 1980s, various Lennon Walls have dotted the landscape of Hong Kong in the past three months.

The one in Frist Lobby was a similar visual, a symbolic manifestation of the pro-democratic demands of Hong Kong.

For the students who put up the content, the Lennon Wall is one of the few ways through which they can contribute to the events in Hong Kong while

sitting in Princeton.

“It makes me feel closer to home,” said one of the contributors, who wishes to remain anonymous out of fear of disciplinary action.

The wall on the Davis IC’s board was taken down after a day because the group did not get permission to use the bulletin board, according to the Deputy University Spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss, who confirmed the infringement of the Davis IC’s space as the primary reason for the removal of the material.

“The taking down of the Lennon Wall in the Frist lobby was not done to suppress free speech on campus, but was rather just an issue of space,” Hotchkiss added.

“We respect their decision to take it down, as we had not consulted the Davis IC,” one of the student contributors said.

However, some of the students who put up the wall then shifted the content to the Davis IC bulletin board in Frist Lobby, inviting others to write

Today on Campus 9 am to 2 pm.: Faculty and Staff Fall Blood Drive Frist Campus Center / Multipurpose Rooms A&B

their names and emails to make the content attributable to some people in concordance with University regulations.

“We chose the Davis IC board because it had the least stuff on it. This was purely our criteria,” one of the students said.

Other unnamed sources mentioned that some students had brought the issue of the wall to the University administration as displaying targeted offensive content. Director of Institutional Equity and Diversity Cheri Burgess did not respond to request for comment to confirm.

However, Eliot Chen ’20, one of the contributors to the Lennon Wall, told The Daily Princetonian that the Davis IC, rather than the University, acted on the complaints because the content fell under the University’s guidelines for Freedom of Expression.

A third Lennon Wall is now outside Frist 209, echoing the sentiments of a poster on the Wall: “We Will Not Be Silenced.”

The buildings were selected for renaming by the Council of the Princeton University Community (CPUC)’s Committee on Naming, a group formed in 2016 to “name build-

ings or other spaces not already named for historical figures or donors to recognize individuals who would bring a more diverse presence to the campus.”

Previous notable changes include the renaming of West College to Morrison Hall in 2017 in honor

of the late Nobel laureate and faculty member Toni Morrison, as well as the naming of the Arthur Lewis Auditorium in honor of Nobel laureate and faculty member Sir Arthur Lewis.

this?” she said.

The shock of Trump’s election not only led women to reevaluate their political beliefs and levels of personal engagement but, according to Rubin, his later actions have caused Republican party members to reassess their loyalty to the party and how far they are willing to follow their president. She cited the House’s recent response to Trump’s withdrawal from Syria, in which 129 Republicans voted with the Democrats. She also ref lected on the changing makeup of Congress.

“Imagine if the House

had not gone Democratic. We would probably never have seen the Mueller Report. We would not have known, let alone be going to an impeachment process, based on the president’s enlistment of a foreign government in an election,” Rubin said. “None of the other scandals would have been under some kind of scrutiny. It was really a point in time when people had to make that decisive choice: are we going to allow Donald Trump to be unchecked, or are we going to retain the checks and balances of the American constitutional system?”

Near the end of the lecture, she circled back to the promising future she sees for America.

“There has to be some reckoning on the Right that this is not a helpful phenomenon and that they are disarming themselves by blocking out facts they don’t like and by twisting reality. I don’t see this great awakening happening any time soon. The median age of the Fox News viewer is 68 years old. This will not go on indefinitely,” she said, garnering laughter from the crowd.

“I think the better way of thinking about this is that there’s a generational problem on the Right and in the right wing media, and that is they have relatively no appeal to younger generations.”

The lecture was held in Friend Center 101 on Oct. 16 at 4:30 p.m.

A post-Brexit world

Kaveh Badrei

contributing columnist

While the American press tends to focus more on domestic rather than global stories, the international community, particularly the United States, should be intently following the Brexit proceedings. What happens in Britain could shift global momentum from our current political moment. While we find ourselves in at the zenith of far-right, autocratic populism, the impending doom of Great Britain’s “hard Brexit” could inspire a backlash against such vigorous antiestablishment populism. Just as Brexit brought the beginning of this global populist moment, its inability to deliver Great Britain the baseless promises of freedom, independence, and prosperity could demonstrate the empty rhetoric and inaction of similar populist movements around the world. Even more significant, if Britain’s economy and political situation for its population of more than 66 million worsens into recession and regional crisis,

Brexit could actually spur a global reactionary movement.

Brexit served as one of the first harbingers of our current political moment — one most aptly characterized by the rise of populist, antiestablishment leaders supported by the marginalized, forgotten communities of an increasingly globalized and interconnected world.

Leaders such as Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Rodrigo Duterte and Jair Bolsonaro rebelled against the encroaching influence of the liberal international order and presented a new model of conservative, antiestablishment political leadership. Brexit was the first instance of a population actively choosing this brand of far-right populism against the liberal international order, with a 51.9 percent vote to leave the European Union in a national referendum.

Yet Britain now finds itself in a political disaster. Oct. 31 currently stands as the mandatory date of exit for Britain from the EU. If no deal exists between Britain and the EU by that date, Britain faces a “hard Brexit,” which many predict will lead to economic and political chaos due to unresolved matters pertaining to EU law, economic bor-

ders, and politically fragile agreements between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. With only one month left until the deadline and increasing domestic battles between Parliament and Johnson’s cabinet, Britain seems to be approaching the “hard Brexit” deadline with no likely guarantee of a deal being worked out between the EU and the state.

My last opinion column focused on the need for the United States to engage more meaningfully in the global affairs of our world. Britain finds itself in a similar position. Those in the Brexit camp advocate a more isolated and more structurally independent Britain, separate and free from obligations to the European Union. However, in our interconnected world, isolation makes global aspirations of justice, peace, and cooperation near impossible to attain.

As our world remains more intertwined economically, culturally, and socially, the idea of one state forcefully separating itself from a regional community presents endless problems. The potential financial meltdown, impending trade issues between the U.K. and the EU, and the tenuous political situation between the U.K. and

vol. cxliii

Northern Ireland could demonstrate indirect examples of the consequences of isolationism in the 21st century.

Global interdependence does not create weaker states, but rather it strengthens our global community and constituent member states by encouraging progress through cooperation rather than competition among states.

Our world is one of inherently interconnected parts.

Rather than embrace isolation, we must look towards international cooperation as a means of global peace and prosperity for the future. Our current political moment emphasizes the weakness of such international institutions, but my hope for a safer, more just, more peaceful, and more prosperous world lies in the fate of such institutions in the international realm. Maybe we need to be shocked by the consequences of what happens when we neglect these institutions — as is the potential case with Brexit — in order to truly appreciate their inherent value in our world today.

The dangers of quantification Claire Wayner columnist

Your life is worth $7.4 million. Don’t agree? Ask the Environmental Protection Agency, which sets its current valuation of a statistical human life at that amount.

It’s not only humans that get a dollar amount — anything from an urban street tree (around $170 according to one study) to the U.S.’s supply of pollinators ($1 billion of crops dependent on insect pollination) have been assessed and priced by summing up their conferred benefits on the world (e.g. energy savings from tree shading) and comparing these to the assumed costs of production (e.g. initial planting cost for a tree).

As an environmental engineer, I’ve been trained to think about the world in terms of these numbers; indeed, nothing matters more to my academic field than the economic valuation of nature. Why put a price on things as arbitrary as trees and bumblebees? The official reason taught to me by my professors and through my internships is that these valuations make complex cost-benefit analyses possible. For instance, if a pipeline company bulldozes 100 acres of forest, destroying three colonies of the endangered rusty patched bumble bee in the process, one can calculate the amount of money to be lost due to this ecological destruction and compare this to the potential economic benefits of the project.

More and more, however, I’ve been questioning the validity of relying on quantifi-

cation to fully capture what we lose or gain. Not only is quantification controversial because of its subjectivity (for instance, the U.S.’s price for a ton of greenhouse gas emissions has been heavily debated ever since the 2016 elections), it also fails to communicate the equallysignificant emotional losses.

How would you price the joy you receive from seeing a beautiful sunset or the ethereal sense of wonder from witnessing the Rocky Mountains for the first time?

Quantification, in many cases, has brought us nothing. To use a more recent example, the Amazon rainforest was recently valued at $8.2 billion a year, capturing both the profits possible from sustainable agricultural practices applied within the rainforest as well as the ecological benefits (e.g. stored carbon dioxide, stormwater filtration, etc.).

Removing the entire rainforest would result in $422 million in annual damages due to reduced rainfall. Yet has this figure stopped the rampant uptick in deforestation and burning instigated by the Bolsonaro administration? Absolutely not. Will it ever? Probably not — shortterm profits tend to win out.

Why, then, must we stoop to the level of blatant ignorance of decision-makers who claim to rely on dollar amounts yet may, through political and economic motivations, choose to ignore or manipulate these valuations? There is so much more to be lost in the Amazon rainforest than $8.2 billion, from its ecological beauty to its medicinal plants — not

to mention the 900,000 native peoples currently living there (whose lives I could value using the EPA statistic cited above, but I think we all recognize the absurdity and danger behind pricing human lives).

I worry for all of us trained in the art of quantification in our increasingly quantified world. Stumbling through my problem sets and blindly typing figures into a calculator, I find myself getting lost in a maze of numbers, unable to clearly see my topic of study. It is why I frequently turn to my humanities classes to get a fresh perspective on what we’re really losing when we talk about environmental destruction or any decision-making on a larger level. I’m grateful that Princeton with its liberal arts curriculum makes it easier for me to get a break from the numbers, and I hope that Princetonians also take advantage of this opportunity to qualify the quantitative, to contextualize the implications of their numerical analyses.

There are certainly benefits to statistics and dollar amounts — they help us make quick assessments of the worth of a project or the costs of certain actions. Yet it is also up to us to constantly remember what is lost in the quantification process and to learn to recognize and communicate those losses when we can.

Princeton men’s tennis doubles team reaches quarterfinals at ITA Championships

By Elan Zohar Staff Writer

The Princeton men’s tennis team is back on the court, recently coming home from a strong run at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-American Championships, a national tournament featuring the best programs in college tennis. Traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma, three Tigers — senior Payton Holden, junior Ryan Seggerman, and sophomore Karl Poling — spent much of last week battling it out against the top doubles and singles players in the country.

The ITA Championships kicked off the start of more individually-focused tournaments that play out during the fall in preparation for the season, which will feature Ivy League play and the NCAA tournament. Although only a few Princeton players go to these tournaments at a time, fall preseason play has more significance than simply being a way to boost individual rankings.

“The fall is really important — all of this counts towards the NCAA selections and your preseason team ranking, so how you do collectively from

an individual perspective has an impact,” head coach Billy Pate said.

All three Princeton representatives competed in the tournament’s singles qualifying round, but none qualified for the main draw because each lost in their first match.

In doubles, however, the Tigers found more success.

The Seggerman and Holden duo, ranked No. 15 nationally entering the tournament, had no intentions of going home early. The two were a tiebreaker away from making the NCAA quarterfinals and receiving an All-America bid last year, and a fresh start could be exactly what they needed heading into this new season.

The experienced pair first defeated a No. 10 team from Northwestern in a first-to-ten tiebreaker after splitting the first two sets, with a score of 4–6, 6–3, (10–5). In the round of 16, the duo then defeated a No. 37 South Alabama team in another nail-biter, 6–2, 1–6, (11– 9). Getting these two quality wins against tough opponents were exactly what Seggerman and Holden were looking for in preparation for the start of team play.

“Anyone who was playing

in this [tournament] had a good preseason ranking, and performing at [the ITA Championships] is a good way to establish yourself early on as one of the teams that you could see later in the year for the NCAA [tournament] or the other big tournaments,” Seggerman said.

The pair were finally defeated in the quarterfinals 6–1, 7–6 (2) by a University of Central Florida team that had defeated three top-20 teams, including the second-ranked team, Texas Tech. The UCF doubles team eventually went on to finish as tournament runners-up.

Despite the premature exit, the program is looking forward to what many think could be their most successful season in the past few years.

All of the starters from last year are returning, and the Tigers are welcoming the addition of first-year Thomas Bosancic, who had lots of success in his native Australia before joining the Princeton squad.

“We were able to replace the senior we lost with [Bosancic] who is really good, so we feel pretty confident going into the year from an individual and team perspective,” Pate said. “We’re excited to get after it.”

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Women’s tennis shows off at ITA and UNC Charlotte invitationals

By Andy he Contributor

Princeton women’s tennis is already underway, busy preparing for another hopefully very successful season.

This past weekend, four Tigers — first-year Michelle Sorokko, first-year Maia Sung, first-year Jayme Leschly and junior Nathalie Rodilosso — participated at the UNC-Charlotte 49er Invite in North Carolina. The Tigers competed against East Carolina University and grabbed three singles wins and went two for two in doubles matches to close out the first day on Friday. The team then swept all four of its doubles contests on Saturday and won four singles matches, including a particular standout win by Sung, who beat Charlotte’s Pierina Imparato 17–15 in a grind-it-out thirdset tiebreaker.

Several hundred miles west of Charlotte, sophomore Brianna Shvets and first-year Daria Frayman competed at the ITA All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla. Shvets had a fantastic individual run, winning five matches in a row (including three against ITA top-125 players) before falling to Duke’s Kelly Chen, who happens to be ranked No. 5 in the nation by ITA, in three hard-fought sets.

Senior co-captain Clare McKee said the fall season is fairly busy, and with a lot of overlapping events, the team generally sends four-to-six players to each of the tournaments. McKee is excited about the brimming potential of the team this year and says that practices have been going smoothly. “We have been focusing on implementing a lot of new exercises in practice and putting emphasis on circuit-based fitness drills in warm-ups.”

grate the incoming first-years, McKee voiced her excitement and strong hopes. “We have a really talented freshman class this year. Just yesterday, we had a team meeting where we ironed out team culture and values for the upcoming season, stressing the values of unity and being connected with one another and displaying that positive energy at practice.” McKee says that the value of competing for something greater than oneself has kept the team closely-knit.

McKee is bittersweet about entering her final season on the team. “This last year feels different because it is my last chance to compete with this team, so I am just trying to soak up every moment and continue to remind myself what a privilege and humbling experience it is to be a part of this team,” she said.

Her plans after college include law-related programs and possibly law school. “I don’t see myself coaching in the near future, but I would love to keep playing tennis and staying in shape, and hopefully

keep playing the sport until I am an old lady,” she said.

In the near future, however, McKee remains zeroed in on leading the Tigers to more wins across the board during the fall and spring seasons.

Looking forward, the Tigers will travel to the ITA Northeast Regionals competition at West Point next week, a tournament that junior Stephanie Schrage, a fellow team member, has won individually in the past. The last two tournaments during the fall season will be invitationals at Vanderbilt University and Louisiana State University.

The Tigers will then look to a long off-season break between mid-November to early January, but they will be staying busy. The captains will host captain’s practices five times a week, and players will spend around two hours a week in individual sessions with the coaching staff. “Captain’s practices are a great opportunity for team bonding and working on mechanics before the spring season,” said McKee.

MEN’S SOCCER

Men’s soccer defeats Leigh 3-0, will face Columbia Saturday

By Emily Perez Contributor

Men’s soccer (7–3–1 overall, 0–1–1 Ivy League) returned home on Tuesday with a 3–0 win against the Lehigh Mountain Hawks (8–4–1). Goals from junior midfielder Frankie DeRosa in the 17th minute, senior forward/midfielder Danny Hampton in the 41st minute, and first-year forward Daniel Diaz Bonilla in the 83rd minute were a welcome success after a difficult game against Brown.

The win also increased Princeton’s overall record against Lehigh to 32–8–1.

The Tigers were strong right from the beginning, with a shot in the first minute from Diaz Bonilla.

A second shot from junior midfielder/forward Kevin O’Toole in the ninth minute, however, was followed by a minor hiccup when senior midfielder Benjamin Martin was taken down by what appeared to be a hamstring injury. He was substituted by sophomore defender/midfielder Ryan Clare, and the game continued with the same force as before.

The action remained heavily on Lehigh’s defensive end of the field, with four more shots in the next four minutes. A shot from Clare in the 13th minute came remarkably close, but it ultimately bounced off the goalpost. The Mountain Hawks briefly took control of the ball, nearly making it all the way to the goal line, but tight defense from the Tigers kept them from making a shot. By the 17th minute, the ball had made it back to Lehigh’s defensive end, and at 16:14, DeRosa scored the first goal of the game with an assist from Diaz Bonilla.

In the 20th minute, Lehigh had their first shot of the game, but it was saved by junior goalie Jack Roberts. A strong Princeton defense kept the Tigers in control, with two more shots in the 29th minute before their second goal in the 41st minute. The goal was scored by Hampton

off of a free kick and sailed smoothly into the upper right corner of the goal.

Lehigh then pushed the ball into Princeton’s defensive half. A foul by Princeton in their penalty area awarded Lehigh a penalty kick, but Lehigh forward/midfielder Michael Tahiru’s shot was blocked by senior goalie Jacob Schachner. The first half concluded soon after another shot from Princeton hit the goalpost.

Tensions rose in the second half of the game, with few shots but a number of fouls on both sides. “Obviously [Lehigh] wanted to put a lot into the second half to try and get a goal and get back into us, so we knew they were gonna come at us at the beginning of the half,” said head coach Jim Barlow afterwards.

Lehigh was unsuccessful, however, and the third goal of the game was scored by Princeton’s Diaz Bonilla, who took advantage of a blocked shot from O’Toole in the 83rd minute.

The game ended directly following a shot from Lehigh in the 90th minute, which went wide.

Coach Barlow was deservedly enthusiastic about the team’s performance. “I think we were really proud of the effort tonight considering that we had a really tough game at Brown on Saturday, that we lost a couple starters to injury from that game, and that we lost one of our best players in the first ten minutes of the game when Ben Martin got hurt,” he said. “It’s a tribute to the guys who came in and played well in one of our most complete performances from start to finish.”

Looking forward, the Tigers will stay home to take on the Columbia Lions at Myslik Field on Saturday, Oct. 19. This is a high-stakes game, as it could mean improvement for Princeton’s currently tenuous Ivy League stance.

“We just have to put this kind of effort into the league now,” said Barlow.
