CPUC adds new requirement for questions to be submitted in advance By Zachary Shevin Assistant News Editor
At the first Council of the Princeton University Community (CPUC) meeting of the year, University Provost Deborah Prentice announced a change in CPUC procedure that will require students to submit questions for University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 in advance, rather than participate in the past “open question period” policy. The CPUC held the meeting at 4:30 p.m. in the Frist Multipurpose Room on Sept. 23. In addition to discussing this change, Prentice presented the new academic calendar for next year and shared details about the University Naming Committee. Karen Richardson ’93 introduced herself to the CPUC as the University’s new Dean of Admission. The meeting began with a reading and unanimous vote of approval of the CPUC’s “Order of Business” for the 2019-20 year. Prentice explained that, in previous years, several of the stipulations of the CPUC’s “Order of Business” had not been followed, especially in reference to the Question and Answer period.

ness had previously stated that the 15-minute Question and Answer period exists so that council members may formally ask one another questions. Prentice noted that this was “not the way we’ve been handing the question period in anybody’s living memory,” and that the CPUC has typically con-
ducted an open question period, allowing for both pre-submitted and on-the-spot questions from both Council members and members of the general community. “We’ve typically done just a sort of open question period,” Prentice said. “We’ve requested that questions be submitted in advance,

CNN correspondent Jim Acosta talks journalism, Trump administration By Marie-Rose Sheinerman Assistant News Editor
On Sept. 23, CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta addressed a packed audience of young and old on campus. In a talk moderated by Julian Zelizer, the Malcolm Stevenson Forbes, Class of 1941 Professor of History and Public Affairs, Acosta discussed the importance of journalism in the modern era and reflected on his experiences reporting on the Trump administration. Throughout the lecture, Acosta emphasized that the President’s statements have bred violence against journalists. He said he believes that Trump brought the “fake news shtick” to the office, but that since then, the rhetoric has spiraled out of control, and “they don’t know how to reel it back.” Acosta claimed that since the 2016 election, he has received at least one death threat every week, most notably in a tweet
that read “You’re next” and included an image of a decapitated goat. He can now only attend Trump rallies accompanied by bodyguards. He noted that CNN, along with other media outlets that Trump has often singled out for criticism, has received pipe bomb threats, and that a BBC cameraman was attacked at a Trump rally in El Paso last February. Acosta even expressed serious fear of the nation “getting through” the next election cycle without journalists being physically harmed. “The moment you have a journalist harmed in this country, or — God forbid — killed, we cease being the United States of America I grew up in,” he said. Despite the challenges, Acosta’s remarks suggested that he intends to continue his work. “They can tweet out doctored videos, they can try to attack us, intimidate us, send death threats, and so on,” Acosta said, eliciting the biggest applause
of the night. “We are not going to stop doing our job. It’s what people expect of us.” When asked during the following Q&A whether he has a “call to action” for students like those at the University, Acosta initially struggled to answer, before suggesting, “If you could subscribe to a newspaper, that would be great.” Encouraged by laughter from the crowd, he added, “Set aside a little beer money for that.” Acosta also warned against believing what he ironically dubbed “real fake news” online. He expects more and more socalled “deep fake” and altered videos to be utilized by campaigns during the upcoming election cycle, such as a recently circulated video in which Nancy Pelosi’s speech was artificially slowed, creating the impression she was intoxicated. Acosta himself was also targeted by a distorted video, See ACOSTA page 2

Hebrew professor Robert Alter discusses nuance in Biblical translation By Ezra Zimble News Writer
On Monday, Sept. 23, Robert Alter, an Emeritus Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley, discussed his recently published and widely lauded translation of the Hebrew Bible, as well as his new book, “The Art of Bible Translation,” at a talk co-hosted by the Religion and Judaic Studies departments. Alter addressed a packed room, as attendees stood in the entryway and sat in the aisles. Leora Batnitzky, the Ronald O. Perelman Professor of Jewish Studies, Esther Schor, the Leonard L. Milberg ’53 Professor of American Jewish Studies and Professor of English, and David Bellos, the Meredith Howland Pyne Professor of French and Comparative Literature, responded to Alter’s presentation. Humanities Council chair and Professor of Religion Eric Gregory moderated the conversation, as well as questions from the audience. To begin the lecture, Alter posed the question of why he determined that the Bible, which has been translated into English many times, would benefit from another translation. Alter asserted, “the short answer is that none of the existing translations, with the only partial exception of the King James Version, do a great deal of justice to the literary shaping of the [Biblical] Hebrew.” Alter continued along this theme, bringing examples of how his translation pays careful attention to non-lexical aspects of the Biblical text, such as alliteration. In a particular example, Alter noted how in Psalm 30, Verse 11, the author employs alliteration in the Hebrew text to highlight extreme emotional transformation, from mourning to joy. Alter chose the word “dirge” to represent mourning, so as to maintain alliteration with the joyous “dance,” which he

employed in the same verse. Alter also discussed how and why his translations of the Hebrew Bible, which were published incrementally over the past two decades, seek to present the Bible without the theological overtures introduced by many previous translators. To that end, Alter said he ultimately chose to remove “Christological references” that other translators have incorrectly incorporated into the Hebrew Bible. Alter highlighted an example from Psalm 23, in which many English translations employ the verb “anoint,” a choice that implicitly situates the passage within Christian theology. Alter instead translates the verb as “moisten,” evoking imagery of the Ancient Greeks, who would spread oil on themselves, symbolizing “the good life” of luxury. In this case, by changing one verb, Alter sought “[to] shift the emphasis from upward in the sky down to the concrete.” The respondents’ reflections on Alter’s presentation were largely positive, with Batnitzky noting how readers should see Alter in the context of great Jewish-American writers. In addition, Schor explained that she has used Alter’s Bible translations for teaching students since his first translation, of the Book of Genesis, was published in 1996. When only his Genesis translation was available, Schor “used to feel the wind go out the sails” as her class moved on to the work of another translator. Claire Lessler ’22, who attended the lecture, was particularly interested because she “had always analyzed the Bible from a traditional Orthodox Jewish perspective … and thought it was interesting that [Alter] chooses to read the Bible as a literary work you can criticize.” The talk took place at 4:30 p.m. in McCormick 101 and was open to the public.

but we’ve taken questions that weren’t.” Going forward, in accordance with the new Order of Business unanimously approved during the meeting, questions from community members will need to be submitted in writing in advance of the meetings. For this meeting,
questions needed to have been submitted in writing to Secretary to the Council Christine Gage by Friday, Sept. 20, three days before the meeting. Prentice also noted that members of the community asking questions will be permitted to ask a supplementary follow-up question and Council members will be able to propose any follow-up questions. “We will allow questions from members of the community, but we will prioritize questions from the Council, and we will ask that the questions be submitted in advance, so we can make sure people are prepared to answer them,” Prentice said. The CPUC also put mechanisms in place to better distinguish Council members from non-Council members at meetings. Last year’s six CPUC meetings all took place in Betts Auditorium, where both Council members and community members sat in the same area. Instead, this meeting was held in the Frist Campus Center Multipurpose Room, with Council members seated at a U-shaped structure of tables and non-Council members in chairs off to the sides.

shortly after the White House revoked his press pass in November 2018, sparking a controversy that found even rightwing media outlets siding against the Trump administration. The White House later circulated a doctored video pulled from Alex Jones’ notorious conspiracy website, Infowars, to justify the suspension. “It was the most Orwellian moment I’ve ever experienced as a journalist,” Acosta said. “A federal judge described the video as of ‘questionable accuracy,’ which is pretty much the closest thing you can get to a sick burn from a federal judge.” When asked to comment on the way Trump’s Twitter use has changed the media landscape, Acosta gave the president credit. “He’s zeroed in on this tool in the way that Roosevelt used
fireside chats and Kennedy was the TV president,” he noted. Acosta also responded to a question about the extent to which the media ought to take responsibility for putting Trump in the White House, saying, “I don’t think the press is to blame for Donald Trump being president.” He called the election an “imperfect storm” and admitted that “we,” in reference to CNN and other major news networks, gave candidate Trump too much airtime and live coverage, a mistake they plan to correct in the future with “more sophisticated coverage” and “fact-checking.” The lecture took place in McCosh 50 at 4:30 p.m. and was followed by a sale and signing of Acosta’s new book, “The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America.” Acosta’s visit was organized by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

ing, 15 minutes were allotted for a question and answer period. However, due to a lack of pre-submitted questions, Eisgruber said that “under the rules, the question period is waned for this particular meeting.” Later in the meeting Eisgruber thanked Prentice and the rest of the CPUC Executive Committee “for all the thought they gave to how it is that we can operate more like a Council going forward, as this body did in its original years,” adding that he “think[s] all of these changes are conducive to that.” In total, there were 34 CPUC members present at the meeting and 35 other members of the community. Though the CPUC meeting was advertised in the USG weekly newsletter as “open to the public,” with the newsletter noting that “any interested students are encouraged to attend,” Bradley Phelps ’22, who was present at the meeting, said he thought attendance among non-CPUC-member undergraduate students was low. However, he did not see that as a problem, saying “it was a pretty bureaucratic meeting.” “People have other stuff to do,” Phelps noted. “Unless there’s a reason for you to be there, I don’t think you would’ve gained anything you wouldn’t find through your emails or through anything else.” After discussing the Order of Business, Prentice explained the layout of the CPUC’s committees, briefly describing their different functions. Prentice noted that the CPUC will likely hear from the Committee on Right, Rules, and Responsibilities (RRR) in the coming year. “We expect there will be changes to ‘Rights, Rules’ this year coming out of the guidance we expect to receive from the Office of Student Rights on the matter of Title IX regulations,” she said. Prentice also presented a list of suggested topics of discussion for future CPUC meetings, which included “sustainability,” the expected minimum wage increase in New Jersey, “Title IX Policy Updates,” a “Campus Plan Update,” and the Guyot Hall restoration project. Later in the meeting, Prentice discussed a proposal to extend the Naming Committee’s term another three years, a proposal that the CPUC passed unanimously. Afterwards, Richardson introduced herself to the Council as the University’s new dean of admission. After Richardson spoke, Prentice returned to the podium to discuss calendar change. According to Prentice, classes will begin on Sept. 2 next fall,
with first-year students arriving on Aug. 22. For Residential College Advisors and Community Action and Outdoor Action Leaders, this will likely mean arriving to campus in mid-August. Fall recess will take place from Oct. 17 to Oct. 25, and final exams will take place before winter break, which will take place from Dec. 23 to Jan. 10. After winter break, Wintersession will continue until Jan. 24, and former Director of the LGBT Center Judy Jarvis will serve as Director of Wintersession. Spring recess will take place from March 6-14, and final exams will take place from May 7-13. Prentice explained that, during Wintersession, students will be able to partake in on-campus research and other programs as well as off-campus internships if they so choose. Another CPUC member noted that the University tentatively plans on keeping all of the dining halls open during Wintersession, anticipating that many students would return to campus. Phelps noted he is “looking forward to the new fall schedule,” but was somewhat surprised at the level of engagement some CPUC members expected students to show in Wintersession. “They expected a huge return of people for intersession. I’m not sure how that’s going to pan out in practice. I could really see a lot of people staying in Aspen or wherever for a couple extra weeks.” Multiple members of the Council expressed concerns about the logistics of transitioning between the old and new schedules. Their worry was that exams will not end until May 23 this spring and, with the school year beginning earlier than usual in the fall, the coming summer will be cut over a week short, presenting possible difficulties in scheduling summer internships. Others asked if the CPUC considered how the new schedule could lead to possible increases in demand for research funding during Wintersession, as well as how such the scheduling changes could affect student athletes. University Vice President W. Rochelle Calhoun brought up the idea of creating a specific mechanism for students to submit questions and concerns like these to the working group dealing with calendar change, so as to ensure that every concern is addressed. While acknowledging some difficulties that may come with the transition, Prentice said that she believes the calendar change will be beneficial for the University, a sentiment echoed by Eisgruber. The next CPUC meeting is scheduled for Nov. 11.

Beyond soccer: lessons from the World Cup Julia Chaffers
Contributing Columnist
The streets of Paris came alive this summer as the Women’s World Cup enthralled the nation. Studying abroad there, I felt an enormous pride wearing my stars and stripes on America’s game days, not just because the U.S. National Team was playing, but because this team was taking the field. As an avid Boston sports fan, I am used to rooting for my teams in championships. Some teams you root for because of the charisma of the players, some you root for despite their flaws (I’m looking at you, Patriots). But rarely have I been more inspired by a team than the 2019 U.S. Women’s National Team. This is due not only to their prowess on the field, but their unwavering courage and activism off it. The USWNT went into the World Cup under enormous pressure. They were the defending champions in a field that is getting increasingly stronger, and were out to prove themselves worthy of equal pay with the men’s team. In March, the USWNT sued the U.S. Soccer Federation for gender discrimina-
tion, a fight that is headed for trial next May. With this as the backdrop, the USWNT had the world’s biggest stage to show what they are worth. They more than proved themselves. As the players streamed onto the field in Lyon after they won, the stadium rang out in cheers of “USA! Equal pay!” Over the course of the tournament, the USWNT outscored opponents 26–3, along the way setting a record for the highest margin of victory in a game in the history of the tournament, men’s or women’s, beating Thailand 13–0, and dominated the competition on the way to their fourth World Cup championship. At each stage the team inspired millions of fans, drawing in an American audience for the World Cup Final 22 percent bigger than the men’s final last summer, while the USWNT jersey became the topselling soccer jersey ever sold on Nike.com in one season. But the team’s presence off the field rivals their impact on it. The team engages in a number of different political causes. In 2016, co-captain Megan Rapinoe was the first athlete outside of the NFL to follow Colin Kaepernick’s protest of kneeling during the national anthem. Since U.S. Soccer banned kneeling during the anthem, Rapinoe now stands, but does not sing along. Explaining why, she said, “Being a gay American, I know what
it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties.” Rapinoe also gained attention when a video clip from earlier in the year resurfaced in which she said she would not be going to the White House if the team won the World Cup, due to disagreements with the President’s policies. After Trump retaliated on Twitter, Rapinoe reiterated her stance, telling reporters: “obviously [I was] answering with a lot of passion, considering how much time and effort and pride we take in the platform that we have and using it for good, and for leaving the game in a better place and hopefully the world in a better place. I don’t think that I would want to go, and I would encourage my teammates to think hard about lending that platform or having that co-opted by an administration that doesn’t feel the same way and doesn’t fight for the same things that we fight for.” Since the tournament, the team has only expanded its leveraging of its platform for advocacy, for example partnering with Time’s Up to help fight gender discrimination across all industries. At Princeton, we prize commitment to service. It is our unofficial motto: “In the nation’s service and the service of humanity.” The USWNT embodies this idea, exemplifying excellence in its craft as well as
dedicated advocacy beyond it. They use their platform to lift up others and fight for what they believe in. We can do the same in our own lives. More than striving to succeed as students, we should take advantage of the opportunities we have at Princeton to change our communities around us for the better. Often when athletes use their platform to fight for issues they care about, they are told to stay in their lane, or as Laura Ingraham told Lebron James, to “shut up and dribble.” The USWNT faced the same sorts of criticisms. President Trump tweeted that Rapinoe should “WIN first before she TALKS,” while many commentators called the team arrogant for the way they celebrated their wins. The players have blocked out the noise, however, and focused on both their game and their political values. The team’s commitment to lifting others up as they rise presents an example for each of us, aspiring World Cup winners or otherwise. They show us how to use our reach to fight for equality, for ourselves and for others, in whatever we do. Julia Chaffers is a sophomore from Wellesley, Mass.

When I first arrived on campus, I was afraid to discuss politics. It wasn’t that I was uncertain of my beliefs, but Princeton students have a formidable reputation. Coming from the dirt roads and cornfields of the Midwest, having never dreamt of attending an Ivy League university, I knew I was entering the lists. The most important thing I’ve learned thus far from the journey isn’t that this was an unwarranted fear. If anything, my initial forays to the debate hall only reinforced my concerns. No, the most important lesson I’ve learned is to not fear being wrong. I learned I wasn’t afraid to confront others, but I was scared to listen to what they actually had to say. For me, attaining this wasn’t a comfortable process; it required a level of vulnerability, an exposure
What is a belief? to danger. It meant standing center stage with all eyes on me and allowing others to painfully dissect, reason by reason, why I felt differently. However, after braving the trials that tore all these things away I was left facing all that I had: my beliefs. Standing there alone, I came to understand the most important facet of my adventure yet: that my beliefs must be subject to change. I understood that we hold onto the collection of our beliefs, not that our beliefs hold onto us. We cling tight to the innocence of our beliefs because we think they make us who we are. I have witnessed family members, friends, and acquaintances defend a lie when confronted with the truth and throw down the gauntlet only to shirk away in order to shelter a belief. More and more discussions become merely about winning, with everyone looking for the Ben Shapiro moment in order to roll the Thug Life
video they perceive will play before the eyes of any onlooker. You can never allow yourself to get caught saying, “I was wrong,” in front of the bleachers of everyday life in modernity. Saluting your team’s colors has left us bereft of any ability to create change. What does it mean when defending your team is more valuable than seeking the solution? Why, then, do we even have a team? We can armor ourselves with selective statistics and stab at each other with self-serving points. But, after hacking away, the core principles you hold are from what your beliefs are derived. It is your superficial, yet necessary, beliefs that guide your interactions in the world. Your core principles are the reason why they even exist to begin with. These basic principles are what you envision for us all — human rights, our responsibilities to one another. They are far
bigger than you as an individual and are worth a bit of embarrassment in order to get promoted. Neither cocooning them from the outside world, nor ignoring the claw marks left by others make our beliefs any stronger. Rather, they become tempered as we release the fear of change and allow them to interact with the world. They will adapt to survive or become replaced in order to continue serving the principles we envision for the world. The giant looms before you, victory means the lives of thousands. You pull back on the slingshot and it snaps. Do you run? These are the unchanging principles that you and I and everyone else have. And so, we must approach every conversation as if embarking on a journey from which we have something to learn. Our trials together then become our tempering. Once there, we have nothing to fear from each other or from
ourselves. One thing is certain: I will be wrong again. I’m sure sometime soon I’ll hand my phone again to my wife to make sure I didn’t put my foot in my mouth. She has a finesse for telling me that I’m wrong that no one will ever match. I now look forward to that inexorable moment when I’m forced to my knees before the altar of understanding. What I’m afraid of presently is that there will be no one there with their head bowed beside me. Why defend a lie or shirk away from the necessary truth rather than change a belief? When the hallowed becomes hollow we cannot defend it as a piece of ourselves. What, then, is a belief? Tyler Eddy is a junior astrophysics concentrator from Windsor, Ontario.

Grossi ties Ivy League record for shutouts with 29 as women’s soccer defeats William and Mary By Tom Salotti ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Women’s soccer (3—3—2 overall, 0—0 Ivy League) closed out their non-conference play on a high note, defeating the William and Mary Tribe (2—6—1) 1—0 on Sunday at home. The clean sweep by the Tigers earned senior goalkeeper Natalie Grossi her 29th career shutout, tying the all-time Ivy League record with former Dartmouth star Kristin Luckenbill. The team’s preseason record finished at 3—3—2 with losses to ranked opponents Georgetown (6—2—1), Boston College (7—1—1), and Maryland (5—3—2). William and Mary started the action in the first half with a shot on Princeton from Erin Dailey in the eighth minute. After Princeton failed to convert on a corner kick in the 16th minute, Grossi had her first save of the game on a shot by W&M’s Courtney Miles. Three minutes later, the Tigers’ first real shot came from senior Tomi Kennedy only to be blocked before reaching goal.

more Aza Keohan and freshman Kamryn Loustau both went high, Princeton finally got its break in the 43rd minute. Junior Olivia Kane hit the ball up the left side
of the field into W&M’s goal box where it was intercepted by junior Tatum Gee, who knocked it past the goalie into the bottom right corner. The goal was Gee’s first of her
career at Princeton. The second half started with eight shots from the Tigers in the first ten minutes, putting William and Mary on the defensive right away.
The teams traded attacks and counter attacks until the whistle blew at the 90 minute mark. In the second half Princeton outshot W&M 17—7, forcing the Tribe’s keeper to make 11 saves compared to Grossi’s two. The Tigers also had five corner kicks to William and Mary’s one. Sunday’s game saw the return of Julie Shackford to Princeton. Shackford, who coached the women’s soccer team here for 20 years and is the most successful coach in not just program history but across all sports at Princeton, men’s and women’s, left In 2014 and is now coaching her alma mater — William and Mary. Despite the win on Sunday, Princeton is still behind in the two teams’ all-time series, which W&M leads 6—3—1. The Tigers will host Yale (6—2 overall, 0—0 Ivy League) on Saturday at Roberts Stadium to begin Ivy League play. Princeton has two consecutive Ivy League championships and if they win the conference again this year, it will be their 11th overall and fourth championship in five seasons.
WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY
Women’s cross country sweeps Monmouth Invitational By Emily Philippides and Jesse Brewer STAFF WRITERS
After a successful start to both the men’s and women’s cross country seasons at the Fordham Fiasco earlier in the month, the female Tigers continued to impress with a first-place finish at the Monmouth Invitational this past weekend. With seven women finishing in the top 10 overall and clocking an average time of 18:24 over 5,000 meters at Holmdel Park, a course notorious for its difficult hills, the orange and black ran away with the team title. Junior Melia Chittenden grabbed the first individual place overall, averaging 5:50.7 per mile to break the tape in an impressive 18:09.9. In recapping her experience guiding the team to victory, Chittenden describes Saturday as “a great opportunity for our team to compete tactically while not going too hard, too early in the season”. Overall, she thought the team “really worked together” and “ran a smart race.” The No. 22 ranked Tigers will continue to race tactically and work together towards bigger team goals. Right behind Chittenden was freshman Maggie Liebich, dashing for the finish line in 18:16.0 to finish just ahead of a competitor from Marist. In only her second collegiate race of the year, Liebich proved that she is capable of running with the veterans. In discussing her plan of execution during a post-race interview, Liebich explained, “I wanted to stick

Freshman Abbey Loveys claimed fourth place in a time of 18:24.8 while sophomore India Weir followed in fifth with a time of 18:35.2.
Seniors Madeline Sumner and Sierra Castaneda grabbed seventh and ninth place overall, while junior Sophie Cantine rounded out the top ten finishers in 18:49.9.
