Frist Gallery introduces more sustainable options to “late meal”

U . A F FA I R S

NAOMI HESS/THE DAILY PRINCETONIAN

Beginning this academic year, the CJL entrances will be locked and accessible only by prox access.

Frist Gallery is now offering the Beyond Meat Burger, a plantbased meat substitute whose company is based in Los Angeles.

By Neti Linzer Contributor

As Campus Dining continues to look for more sustainable options, they have implemented certain changes at the Frist Campus Center Gallery.

Most immediately noticeable are the “Open Water” aluminum water bottles, which have replaced the short-lived Boxed Water brand.

“We have been moving from plastic water bottles for two years now,” Chris Lentz, Campus Dining’s associate director of marketing and community engagement, explained. “We started with boxed water, and mostly based on feedback from staff, students, and faculty, ended up switching over to aluminum.”

The benefits of aluminum are twofold: the material is infinitely recyclable, and, with their screw top containers, the bottles can also be reusable.

“You can get a lot of life out of them,” Lentz said.

While the reusability was one of the key advantages of the aluminum bottles, many students continue to dispose of them, often because they do not consider alternatives.

“I really like the new aluminum bottles, but I wish I had some information on their reuse,” Fiorella Barreto GS said.

“I am happy about the new aluminum, because the boxed water tastes like cardboard,” Jackie Chu ’22 remarked, indicating that the benefits of the new bottles extend beyond sustainability concerns.

Another, though currently less public, switch was the addition of the Beyond Meat Burger at the Gallery’s grill.

Beyond Meat, a Los Angeles based company founded in 2009 by Ethan Brown, creates alternatives to meat products using plant-based proteins.

The company’s mission, as stated on their website, is to create an appetizing alternative to meat products “that solves for growing issues attributed to livestock production: human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources and animal welfare.”

“We are doing a tasting and full announcement of the Beyond Meat next week,” Lentz

In Opinion

said. “The reason we haven’t put it out there yet is that we wanted to get a little bit of feedback, put it out there, get a sense of how many people want it and whether people like it.”

While there was a tasting a week ago, accompanied by a post on Campus Dining’s Instagram page, there will be a more “official” announcement this Wednesday in the form of posters and a tasting.

In addition to being offered at the Gallery, the burger will also be offered at concessions at sports games.

“I was really happy when I found out about the Beyond Burger because I am vegan and while there are options at late meal, there is less variety,” Pooja Parmar ’22 wrote to The Daily Princetonian in a message.

Although the new option is exciting for vegan students, most students who spoke to the ‘Prince’ during late meal had never tried the burger, nor were they even aware that it was an option.

Finally, in addition to these food-related switches, the Gallery has renovated the waste disposal area to make it more user friendly. There are now clearly marked bins: “food waste only” or “trash only.”

The Office of Sustainability, while involved in the details of this new system, deferred comment to Chris Lentz at Campus Dining when contacted by the ‘Prince.’

“We are really committed to keeping a clean waste stream… anything that has food contamination on it can disrupt recycling” Lentz said, explaining why it is so important to have clearly marked disposal bins.

Additionally, all food waste is now being diverted to the Office of Sustainability’s biodigester.

“We have been doing that in the back of the house [the kitchen] for well over a year now and the challenge at the front of the house was that everything was going everywhere,” Lentz explained in reference to diverting to the biodigester. “If one student or one staff member decides that they don’t care and they See MEAL page 2

CJL implements major security changes The Center for Jewish Life (CJL) has implemented new security features going into the 2019–2020 academic year, including 24/7 locked prox-access entrances, a video intercom system for visitors, security guards during Shabbat and holiday dinners, and panic buttons installed throughout the building.

In an email sent to stu-

dents on Aug. 9, CJL Executive Director Rabbi Julie Roth wrote, “These enhanced security measures are in alignment with both the expanded measures taken at the University and security increases at Jewish institutions worldwide.”

Many synagogues have taken actions that mirror the CJL’s, some even hiring armed guards. These security updates are likely a response to an uptick in violent attacks on Jewish prayer

2018 saw the third-highest number of domestic attacks on the Jewish community in nearly five decades.

One issue relating to the CJL’s new security system pertains to Shabbat-observing students who are unable to use technology each week during Shabbat, including swiping or tapping their proxes. Prior to this change, entrances to the CJL were alSee CJL page 3

Bait Bike program leads to two arrests

By Uchechi Ihenacho Contributor

Two arrests have been made as a result of the Bait Bike Program implemented in November 2018.

The people arrested were not affiliated with the University. The program is part of the University Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) continuing efforts to hinder campus motor vehicle theft.

The 2019 “Annual Security and Fire Safety Report” released by DPS revealed a dramatic increase in motor vehicle thefts in recent years.

The report indicated 17 accounted cases of bike theft in 2018 alone, in contrast to the five reported in 2017.

Despite this general spike, bike thefts have gone down this academic year, according to a statement provided in a prior email to The Daily Princetonian from the Assistant Vice President for Public Safety, Paul Ominsky.

Ominsky attributed the DPS Bait Bike Program as a possible “contributing factor” to this decline in light of the two arrests.

In addition, Deputy University Spokesperson Michael Hotchess noted a “modSee BIKE page 3

The Princeton Quantum Initiative hopes to foster increased research and innovation in quantum science and engineering.

U. launches Princeton Quantum Initiative

By Allan Shen News Writer

The University announced on Sept. 25 the formation of the Princeton Quantum Initiative (PQI) as an effort to advance research, development, and education in both fundamental science and technological applications in fields such as quantum computation and quantum information systems.

The initiative aims to bring together over 30 faculty members from the Departments of Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical

Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Physics.

The inaugural director of PQI is Professor of Electrical Engineering Andrew A. Houck ’00, whose research focuses on the design and construction of fully quantum mechanical integrated circuits that would enable the scaling of quantum computing architectures and a variety of experiments in quantum optics.

University Dean for Research Pablo G. Debenedetti spoke about the expected impact of PQI. See QUANTUM page 3

contaminate it, they then it makes it really difficult.”

Since the biodigester requires an immaculately clean waste stream, there was initially some hesitation about using it. But with the clear labeling as well as the sealed lid, the new set up seeks to avoid

this problem. The dining officer receives feedback whenever some unwanted waste — like a pair of chopsticks — gets caught in the biodigester.

The compost from the rest of the dining halls on campus is sent to an outside company called Organic Diversion, since the biodigester has a limited capacity.

“If anyone has feedback, we would love to hear it,” Lentz

said. “A lot of the changes come from the cycle of doing it, and then receiving feedback.”

In addition to feedback, Lentz added, students can help sustainability efforts by heeding the waste disposal instructions, opting for silverware instead of disposable utensils, and using refillable water bottles whenever possible.

U. to award two graduate, Ominsky: Bait Bike Program a possible three postdoctoral fellowships contributing factor in decline in bike theft QUANTUM Continued from page 1

“I think this signals Princeton’s commitment to this area,” Debenedetti said. “Therefore we expect that when we apply for funding from the federal government, for example, an initiative from the Department of Energy, this physical manifestation of Princeton’s support will make us even more competitive than we already are.”

In step with the initiative’s aim to train the next generation of leaders in quantum research, the University will annually award two graduate fellowships that provide support for three years. The University will also award three postdoctoral fellowships that will provide support for three years with the fellows being able to select projects and faculty advisors.

The announcement of PQI comes at a time when numerous institutions, corporations, and governments are engaging in efforts to accelerate the development of quantum technologies.

Many academic institutions have also launched new efforts in quantum research, including Yale University’s Yale Quantum Institute; the Chicago Quantum Exchange at the University of Chicago; and the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at the California Institute of Technology.

On Dec. 21, 2018, President Donald Trump signed into law the National Quantum Initiative Act.The purpose of the act is “to provide for a coordinated Federal program to accelerate quantum research and development for the economic and national security of the United States.”

Progress in quantum science has helped firms like IBM, Microsoft, and Rigetti Computing develop various applications in quantum computation. Last month, Google claimed to have achieved the feat of quantum supremacy: the con-

struction of a quantum computer that can perform calculations at an ability unmatched by the world’s most powerful supercomputers, a milestone that many researchers have expected to be reached.

Quantum technology’s potential implications for defense and national security make it a key area for the United States in terms of competition with foreign nations.

Chinese physicist Jian-Wei Pan hit the news cycle in June 2017 when a Chinese project under his leadership used a quantum communications satellite to demonstrate that particles could maintain quantum entanglement at a separation distance of more than 1200 kilometers.

Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics M. Zahid Hasan, whose research focuses on how topological effects arise in quantum manybody systems and how the precision of topological systems can help to develop dissipation-less technology, spoke about the improvements that PQI may bring about for quantum research at the University.

“Certainly what I see is that it will give us a set of directed goals that did not exist before; this initiative will add additional dimensions [to my communications],” said Hasan, “I think some important milestones or breakthroughs are likely to happen in the next five years.”

Professor of electrical engineering Stephen A. Lyon, whose research concentrates on developing the physical foundations of quantum devices, commented on how he expects PQI to influence his own research.

“The main thing I think [PQI] does is that it will bring people who work in this field together; one gets a lot of ideas for research from [communicating with people],” said Lyon. “We hope to bring more visibility, to make it easier for things to get organized, and to bring more people from outside.”

est decline” in stolen bikes since the enactment of the Bait Bike Program in an email to the ‘Prince.’

According to the official University press release, the DPS Bait Bike Program works to encourage bike thieves to think twice through a sticker that states, “This Could Be a Bait Bike: Think Before You Steal,” which warns prospective criminals that the bike may be equipped with a tracking device. The sticker is available for bike owners that have registered their bikes — an important protective step

that bike owning students should take, emphasized the DPS website.

“A further decrease in bike thefts is a goal of the program,” wrote Hotchkiss. “We would like to have more people add the bait bike stickers to their bikes.”

In order to meet this goal, bike riding students on campus and Public Safety must work together, which some students believe should be an effort advanced on both parties.

“The University should definitely do more to … convince students to register their bikes. If both ends are working the system, there would be less thefts,” said

Thomas Bogaev ’22. “If more people knew about this bait bike thing, it would help a bit because [the thieves] would know that the bikes are being tracked and there would be no reason whatsoever to steal it.”

Roshini Balasubramanian ’22 had her bike stolen outside her dorm the first time she left it unlocked. She discovered the Bait Bike program through an email sent out last year introducing the initiative.

“I would have registered my bike earlier if I knew about the stickers,” Balasubramanian said. “Everyone literally that I know who has a bike has lost it at some point.”

most always unlocked, and students did not need proxes to enter the building.

Now, Shabbat-observing students are given the option of carrying a mechanical key to the CJL, in addition to the “Shabbat key” that they had always received for opening their own dorm rooms.

“My general experience is that it’s not much of a change. Most places you hang out are locked by prox access anyways, so there’s really no difference,” said Nathan Finkle ’21. “For me, the biggest change would be just having to unlock the door every time I walk in, losing five seconds of my life, which is a small price to pay for greater security.”

According to Roth, the

CJL worked “in coordination with Princeton University Public Safety” to carefully select the new safety measures.

“Among several suggestions including emergency preparedness training, one recommendation was to install a card access system,” Roth wrote to The Daily Princetonian in an email statement.

University Public Safety

deferred all comments to the Office of Communications, which deferred comment to Roth.

According to Finkle, an unintended consequence of the security measures may be that some students may feel deterred from visiting the CJL. “I think it’s possible that a security guard standing out front might be a little intimidating, and that’s the

opposite of what we want,” Finkle said. “Anyone who spends a lot of time in the CJL would want anyone else to know that they’re always welcome.”

Roth addressed this concern in an email to students, writing, “Students are always welcome at [the] CJL, and we are continually trying to balance access and safety.”

Letter from the Editor: Harvard admissions, and the hard truth of acceptance Chris Murphy

Editor-in-Chief

On Oct. 1, a federal judge ruled in favor of Harvard University, stating the Ivy League school did not discriminate against Asian-American students in its application process. While the case may be brought before the Supreme Court, for the time being, we can contemplate one of the most interesting behind-thescenes investigations into the admissions process of an elite school.

Fascinatingly, the case rendered visible the decision-making process that goes into selecting students for admittance to Harvard. From testimonies regarding the “Dean’s List” to credentials being lowered for students in “sparse country,” the trial unearthed telling details about the admissions process.

Perhaps the most striking detail revealed about the Harvard admissions process was the applicant personality evaluation, which involves giving applicants a score based on their perceived personality traits. The idea that “positive personality,” “likeability,” and “kindness” are quantifiable is disconcerting. Even worse is the fact that this numerical score apparently plays an outsized role in the decision to admit a student or not.

Furthermore, as Princeton students, we have a vested in-

terest in the ultimate outcome of this case, which, once again, may be heard by the Supreme Court. The way in which our community is formed could be impacted by the final ruling.

Indirectly, this could feel like a shot at us as individuals; how dare someone challenge the Ivy League admissions playing field in which we emerged as winners?

The underlying takeaway from the Harvard admissions ruling is that it brings to light the hard truth of acceptance, especially at the elite level institutions: sometimes, the odds just are not in our favor.

I believe that most students at Princeton — and at Harvard for that matter — value meritocratic admissions outcomes: that the best of the best applicants are accepted, because, based on clearly defined metrics, they quantifiably outperformed those who are left with a rejection letter. At the same time, these same students would also benefit from a diverse community: we all become better when we are exposed to, challenged by, and learn from people of different backgrounds and identities.

The challenge comes in pairing the former with the latter; when there are thousands of kids that share the same grades and similar extracurriculars, how can we possibly determine who to pick to best create a diverse

community? Is it truly possible to create a diverse community where no one has been shorted the opportunity they deserve?

As many involved in the process have routinely admitted, college admissions isn’t perfect; and the hardest part is accepting that it is indeed not perfect.

It is frustrating to conceptualize the system as a flawed one, especially when we are benefitting from it. And, at the end of the day, assuming an applicant meets some sort of baseline for grades, test scores, and extracurriculars, the biggest single factor in determining acceptance status is often simple luck.

Unfortunately, this luck is something that isn’t limited to the college-admissions process.

As we enter the middle of the fall semester, many of us will become frustrated that, despite our impressive grades, stellar resumes, and personal connections, we will fall victim to the “unprecedented number of applicants” that prevents us from getting a job. The difference between one applicant and another is often indistinguishable, yet some of us will get a coveted job, and some of us will not; some of us will lose, and some of us will win.

What can we do as students at an elite institution to fix the admissions process? Improving the system will be an ongoing and difficult endeavor, and an

optimal solution may be impossible to achieve. Encouraging our admissions office to be more transparent would be an ideal start. Calling out discriminatory selection practices when they are discovered will keep the system honest.

Another aspect that cannot be overstated is the complexity of this topic as it relates to diversity. Whatever solutions that are proposed must take into account the necessity to promote diverse admissions classes and challenge students to explore outside of whatever community they called home. There are too many qualified students from all walks of life to NOT promote a vibrant student body; any solution that does not take this into account will be inherently flawed.

Most importantly, we must remain dedicated to the cause of a fairer admissions process; the worst thing we can do is only challenge the system when it works against us. Rather than solely praise a system for its success, or condemn a system for its failures, we should work to try and improve the process no matter what side of the line we fall on.

“A climate change refugee crisis is looming, and we need to start preparing for it” Shannon Chaffer

Contributing Columnist

On Tuesday, I attended a talk with Naomi Klein and Professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor about the climatechange crisis. As Klein spoke about the rise in climatechange refugees — people forced to flee their country because of changes in climate — she highlighted the “cruel irony that the very people who are forced to move first are the people who did the least to create this crisis,” going on to add that the countries most responsible for climate change owe these people asylum.

Her words reminded me of a paper I wrote for my writing seminar, in which I researched this looming crisis and made the case for the world’s richest countries to provide shelter for these refugees.

One of Klein’s points that particularly struck me was her optimism and belief that, despite the current global political climate that has seen climate-change deniers rise to power, a strong enough movement for cli-

mate justice could prevail.

And while I am by no means an expert on climate science or the particularities of the movement, my previous research showed me that any efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change must also include a plan for accommodating climatechange refugees.

Though no consensus exists on the exact number of people who will be forced to migrate (estimates range from tens of thousands to millions of people by 2050), and the exact method for determining who counts as a climate-change refugee is contested, there is no question that the international community will have to come to grips with a refugee crisis in the next 50 years.

The international community has recognized this problem, as the United Nations Refugee Agency recently adopted a Global Compact on Refugees last year, but acknowledging the potential crisis is not enough. The global community needs to act proactively to develop and implement a comprehensive policy designed to accommodate potential climate-change refugees, even before they are forced to flee.

Knowing that a crisis is com-

ing, but deciding not to act on that knowledge, is both morally wrong and incredibly irresponsible.

This plan should include richer countries taking on the responsibility of accepting these refugees. This idea may seem overly ambitious, and even implausible, but any plan to effectively mitigate the effects of the global impact of climate change must be bold. As Klein theorized, now is not the time for pessimism, but a belief in our own power to create change.

Wealthier countries bear the responsibility of accepting climate-change refugees not only because they are historically the main drivers of climate change, but also because their wealth places them in the most capable position to do so.

These countries have the economic strength to cope with both the effects of climate change and the arrival of new people into their societies. Despite this reality, many would argue that forcing these countries to take in refugees violates their sovereignty as independent nations. In dealing with the irreversible damage that climate change will bring to people’s homelands, how-

ever, we need to remember that, in the end, the Earth belongs to all of us.

Harvard philosopher Mathias Risse has written extensively about this concept — which he labels as the theory of common ownership of the Earth — and has highlighted the moral obligations richer countries have to accommodate climatechange refugees. Essentially, he argues, all humans have a right to a place on Earth, because no one group of people created the land and resources humans need to survive.

Thus, in the event of a group of people permanently losing their homeland, it is the responsibility of the states with enough resources to provide these people with a new place to live.

Risse’s theory transcends the system of independent countries and borders that define modern society and forces us to think about humanity on a more fundamental, collectivist level. No human should be left without a place to live, as long as there is a place for them on Earth. Nations and borders should not be a barrier to this fundamental human right.

It is important now to distinguish between climatechange refugees and refugees

fleeing war or other types of humanitarian crises. Whereas these refugees have the chance of returning to their home countries once security has been established, many climate-change refugees have no hope of return.

Thus, climate-change refugees have an even stronger claim to the right to relocation that these other refugees cannot necessarily claim.

There are, of course, many more factors, such as geographic and cultural factors that should factor in to any plan for relocation of climatechange refugees, but for a start, we need to understand who should be responsible.

This argument requires a major shift in our understanding of modern society’s immigration system. But as climate change becomes more and more of a reality, and the consequences ever more severe, people need to start thinking more as global citizens than members of individual nations. Climate change affects the whole world, regardless of borders, and it is time we combat it comprehensively.

Women’s volleyball splits Ivy weekend

By Alissa Selover Associate Sports Editor

Princeton women’s volleyball (6–6 overall, 2–1 Ivy League) split their weekend against Columbia and Cornell.

The Tigers defeated Columbia (8–5, 1–2) 3–1 on Friday but took a tough 3–1 loss from Cornell (10–2, 3–0) on Saturday.

The match against the Columbia Lions started with a close first set. The Tigers trailed behind the Lions until kill from first year middle blocker Olivia Schewe tied the score at 18–all. The Tigers took the lead and went on a 5–1 run, taking the first set 25–19.

The second set score was tied eleven times. The Tigers managed to have a 10–7 breakaway lead after three consecutive kills by senior outside and right side hitter Devon Peterkin, but the Lions came back to tie it at 10–all, prompting them to take control of the game.

After a kill by Schewe tied the score 17–all, the Tigers didn’t hold another lead, giving the Lions the second set victory at 25–22.

Set three was another close one between Princeton and Columbia. Princeton held the lead until a Lion kill evened the score at 10–all. This allowed the Lions to take a quick lead until the Tigers took it back after being tied three different times. Tied at 24–all, two kills by senior right side hitter Maggie O’Connell put the Tigers up 26–24.

The Tigers took the lead in the fourth set quickly, only allowing the Lions to score 15 total points in the set. Once the Tigers broke away from the Lions, Columbia didn’t come within two points. The Tigers went on an eight point run to finish off the match.

in the Ivy League conference, the two teams battled hard.

Leading 15–10 in the first set, the Tigers let three kills and a block cut the lead to one point.

Princeton didn’t let the Big Red take lead of the game, but they came back and tied it at 24–all.

Two Cornell kills gave the Big Red the first set victory.

Set two was a different performance for the Tigers. They only let Cornell score 14 total points, finishing the set with an 11–point lead. Cornell didn’t have a lead the entire second set.

The Tigers had the advantage in the third set but al-

lowed Cornell to go on a quick run to make the score 10–8. The lead bounced between the two teams until a Big Red kill coming off of a 16–all tie gave them the push they needed to go on another quick run. Cornell had the first set point of the set, but a kill from O’Connell tied the set at 24–all. A Tiger ace gave Princeton set point, leading 25–24. A Big Red kill tied the score once more, but a kill from sophomore outside hitter Elena Montgomery put the Tigers at set point again. The score was tied at 26–all for the last time after a Cornell kill prompted two more quick kills

to give Cornell the third set victory.

Fighting to stay in the match, Princeton gave up four quick points before they scored their first in the fourth set. Cornell held the lead for the entire set, except during the five tied scores. Cornell defeated Princeton 25–21 in the fourth, keeping their undefeated record and making the Tigers 2–1 in conference play.

O’Connell and Montgomery both finished the weekend with 30 kills and a combined 12 blocks. Junior middle blocker Clare Lenihan added 27 kills of her own. Senior setter Jessie

Harris had 45 assists against Columbia and came just shy of her career record with 58 against Cornell. Sophomore libero Cameron Dames lead the defense with 33 digs overall, and Peterkin contributed 29 for the weekend.

Yale (7–5, 3–0) and Cornell sit at the top of the Ivy League standings, with Princeton right behind them.

The Tigers will face Brown next Saturday at 5 p.m. in Dillon Gymnasium followed by the widely anticipated ESPNU matchup between Princeton and Yale on Oct. 13 at 1 p.m.

MEN’S SOCCER

Men’s soccer loses to Dartmouth 1–0 in Ivy League opener

By Emily Perez Contributor

Princeton men’s soccer (5– 3, 0–1 Ivy League) began Ivy League play this season with a 1–0 loss against Dartmouth (4– 3–1, 1–0 Ivy League) this past Saturday. A goal by Dartmouth midfielder Eric Sachleben in the 72nd minute ultimately put an end to Princeton’s fourgame winning streak.

Princeton’s freshman forward Walker Gillespie had the first shot of the game 14 minutes in, but it was blocked.

Neither team had a shot until the 23rd minute, when Dartmouth’s Kota Sakurai’s bottom center shot was saved by Princeton’s senior goalie Jacob Schachner.

The first half saw three more shots from Princeton and one more shot from Dartmouth, but no goals. Tensions rose with four fouls — two for Princeton, two for Dartmouth — in the last ten minutes of the first half.

The second half of the game began with a shot from Princeton senior midfielder Benjamin Martin in the 52nd minute. The action soon moved to Princeton’s defensive end of the field, however, with two

more saves from Schachner in the 56th and 57th minutes.

At 71:31, Dartmouth’s Sachleben scored a goal with assistance from defender Ahria Simons and midfielder Ohad Yahalom. The game ended after three more shots from Princeton and two from Dartmouth. The Tigers out-shot the Big Green 11–7, while Dartmouth out-fouled Princeton 10–9. Two yellow cards were awarded, one to each team.

The game adds to Dartmouth’s home game winning streak, bringing it up to 23 games.

Head soccer coach Jim Barlow remains positive about the game, however. “When you look at the statistics of the game in terms of possession and key passes and things like that we came out on top on a lot of areas …. We thought it was one of our best performances, start to finish, soccerwise, but we weren’t as sharp in the final third,” he said.

The Tigers are looking forward to what is only their third home game of the year, against the Delaware Blue Hens on Tuesday, Oct. 8. “We know Delaware’s a good team so it’s going to be another tough challenge for us,” said Barlow.
