ONLY GOT $20 IN MY POCKET

he phrase “reuse, rethink, revitalize” lines the awning of Jane Consignment, which is located next to Tico’s Eatery and Juice Bar on Spring St. Upon opening the door, I was greeted by the waft of a scented candle and carefully arranged displays. Although it was a nice touch and contributed to a luxurious but still bohemian ambiance, it indicated that I was, once again, in a boutique and not a thrift store. If the prices at Greene Street were bad, the prices at Jane were outrageous. The clothing selection was more limited than at Nearly New and Greene Street and was housed in two smaller rooms in the back. The shirts and sweaters in the back room were on average $40 and up. The shoe section was filled with heavily worn, expensive shoes. Even the discounted rack was relatively pricey — most items were $30 and above. I wandered back to the front of the store, which features Princeton-themed stationary, jewelry and scented candles. They were selling a small, vintage Princeton pennant no bigger than the size of my fist for $15. I decided this purchase was not an acceptable allocation of the majority of my $20 dollar budget. I left Jane with nothing but the scent of lavender lingering on my clothes.
Long before Macklemore started popping tags in 2012 and hipsters emerged in recycled ’90s plaid, thrift stores were a must for anyone searching for good deals and the potential for big buys on a budget. While the University is not the first place that comes to mind when looking for a good secondhand find, there are three consignment stores within walking distance from campus. This week, Street goes on a discount fashion mission to Nearly New, Greene Street Consignment and Jane Consignment with a $20 budget at each store.
Pros: Stylish boutique selection and appearance, “one of a kind” and nostalgic Princeton items. Cons: Pricey, narrow selection. Thriftiness: 2 out of 5 tags.

reene Street’s store windows featured outfits befitting the oncoming fall season. After my time in Nearly New, Greene Street seemed to belong to an entirely different category of clothing store. It presents itself with a more boutique feel, which is paired with more of a boutique price. Most items on the first floor started at about $25 and prices climbed from there. Although many of the pieces were nice, they did not seem to be worth the money, as I was in a bargain state of mind. I headed toward the stairs and began the climb to the second floor — the clearance section. I was relieved to discover a treasure trove of more reasonable prices. Sorting through the clearance racks was certainly a hit-or-miss endeavor. I found a stained gray cowl-neck velour Juicy Couture dress still priced at $17.50 amid some other slightly damaged pieces. After some scavenging, I decided on a long-sleeved lacy peplum top marked down from $28.95 to $10 and a chiffon shirt with an abstract chevron pattern on sale for $10 from $26.95.

ocated farther down Nassau Street, Nearly New is a bit of a hike. I found myself passing Hoagie Haven and following a series of signs into a parking lot. Needless to say, I was skeptical. A poorly marked door on the side of the building and a creaky staircase led me to the shop on the second floor. Once I stepped in, however, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. My first thought was that Nearly New was an excellent place to throw together a last minute Princetoween costume. The store was fairly small but stuffed with racks of clothing lining the walls and creating makeshift aisles in the cramped space. The clothes themselves were all fairly reasonably priced. Most items
Pros: Reasonable pricing, wide variety ideal for theme pieces. Cons: Closed on Sunday, $20 minimum on credit card purchases, some outdated pieces. Thriftiness: 4 out of 5 tags. were priced between $5-20 and many items were 50 percent off. A con to the vast array of clothes was that shopping took some digging through shoulder-padded garb and other outdated attire. Committed to my mission, I persevered and was rewarded with two patterned discoveries. For $21 total (oops, I went a dollar over), I selected a longsleeved, silky floral blouse from J. Crew for $12 and a fun, patterned black and white blazer for $9.

MAMOUN’S FALAFEL: SHAWARM’AKIN’ ME CRAZY Q&A Owner and manager Hussam Chater
SHEON HAN Contributor
E
ver since Mamoun’s Falafel opened its first New York branch in 1971, the food has been a hit. The chain was selected as one of “1000 Places To See Before You Die,” holds a four-and-a-half star rating on Yelp and ranks among the most popular restaurants in New York according to TripAdvisor. Hussam Chater, the youngest of the namesake Mamoun’s four sons, recently opened a Princeton branch of the famous falafel shop at 20 Witherspoon St. Since its opening a few weeks ago, Mamoun’s Falafel has catered to the needs of hungry students and locals looking for fresh and reasonably-priced authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Street sat down with Chater to find out how
business has been and what keeps people coming back. The Daily Princetonian: How did you decide to open a location in Princeton? Hussam Chater: My father Mamoun first started his restaurant in New York, so we have always been familiar with New Jersey. Because Princeton is such a lovely town, we have always looked for an opportunity to open a location here. There was no magic scheme, no corporate thought-out plan. When an opportunity to purchase this building was presented to us, we just went for it. DP: Tell us more about yourself and your family. Did you have any experience in cooking or in the restaurant business before? HC: So my father Mamoun immigrated to the United States in the late ’60s — a typical immigrant story. He started the
restaurant as a means to an end, so my three older brothers and me basically grew up in the business. The first restaurant opened in Greenwich Village in New York City. We saw the restaurant grow as it opened the second branch in New Haven after the success of the New York branch. My father opened the second branch for my uncle, and my cousins run it now. There are four other branches run by my brothers and me, two in New York City and two in New Jersey — in Hoboken and New Brunswick. DP: What are your day-to-day responsibilities as a restaurant owner and manager? HC: We have a pretty hard work ethic instilled by my father. I am the first person to open the restaurant and last one to lock the door every day. Delivering quality food and good customer service have always been our

Nothing ever happens in Princeton?
A FRESHMAN PERSPECTIVE
CHITRA MARTI Staff Writer
MAYA WESBY Contributor
H
ow many of your meetings this year have begun with a discussion of the nearest fire exits and emergency assembly areas? Chances are, none. However, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, along with the Department of Public Safety, is trying to change that by holding emergency preparedness training sessions, open to faculty, staff and students. “Our goal was to do some general awareness training about emergency management here at the University and make sure people understood information about PTENS, as well as explain what happens when there is a PTENS message on campus, so they’re more familiar with resources and what’s likely to happen,” Director of Public Safety Paul Ominsky said. The directors of the training sessions hope that attendance will lead to greater preparedness among the student body and those affiliated with campus. “We assume that we can always improve our readiness and how we react to emergency,” Associate Director of EHS for Laboratory Safety Steve Elwood said. As a recipient of many an automated phone call, voice mail, text message and email, I attended last Thursday’s session to see what the training was all about. The trainings, titled “Emergency Preparedness for the Campus Community,” are run by Kelly States and Keller Taylor of Public Safety. Before discussing the purpose of the meeting, or where the restrooms were, States told us that the fastest exit was — surprise — the one we had just entered through. The nearest assembly area was across the street. “Why would you want to cross the street?” Taylor asked later in the training, referring to the location of the specified emergency assembly areas designed for people in affected buildings to congregate. “To get to the other side!” came the response from a woman in the back. In the past, trainings have been held for emergency coordinators — designated staff from each department on campus who are responsible for taking charge during an emergency. Rather than focusing on just one campus group, the current training sessions are meant to serve all members of
O COURTESY OF PUBLICSAFETY.PRINCETON.EDU
the community who might find themselves on campus during an emergency. “The information is useful for anyone on the campus community, so we didn’t feel it was so different for students or faculty or staff that we needed to separate those audiences,” States explained. DPS Director of Operations Stefanie Karp added that in the past, students have generally followed directions well during emergencies, so organizers of the training session chose to focused on awareness on how to handle emergency situations anywhere on campus, rather than information specific to certain locations. “There’s not a specific outline for each room or each building, but they have to be aware of where the exits are, what to do in the room that they find themselves in,” States said. States ran through a number of misconceptions students often have of emergencies on campus. The first, and perhaps most common, misconception, States explained, is that emergency situations don’t happen at Princeton. The Triangle Club’s catchy lyrics in their song, “Nothing Ever Happens in Princeton,” welcome new students to campus with the prevailing metaphor of “the Orange Bubble” and the implied safety that encompasses student life. States made it clear that emergencies have happened in the past; there have been fires on campus, lab accidents and bomb threats, all of which have been taken very seriously and resulted in mass evacuations. In those cases, the Office of the President and the Office of the Executive Vice President are the administrative officials making “policy decisions,” including the choice to keep the University open and operating. P-Safe and EHS make “operational decisions,” which include the actual
handling of the emergency. For example, during an emergency, P-Safe can easily lock all external doors. However, States noted this only sends external doors into “nighttime mode” – meaning anyone with Prox access can still enter the building. In an active shooter situation, for example, if the shooter still has after-hours access, locking the external doors will not drastically change the situation. P-Safe also sends out Princeton Telephone and E-mail Notification System (PTENS) messages to student cell phones, Princeton and alternate email addresses and all campus phones. They can also use the blue-light towers, found around the campus, to broadcast messages. While texts can reach cell phones almost instantaneously, other devices like desk phones can take up to 30 minutes to receive the notification. Generally, PTENS alerts are scripted messages, and come from either 231-77 or 630-79 as texts, or from 609-258-6356 as phone calls. States noted that messages from any of these addresses are unlikely to be hoaxes. States emphasized the need to actually follow the directions in the message, which typically contains very little information. The five most common messages are evacuate building, evacuate campus, remain indoors, shelter in place and lockdown. As a pop quiz, Taylor asked us how we might respond to each message. Answers varied from simply repeating the message back (for example, evacuating the building when told to do so) to building blockades in the case of an activeshooter lockdown. Public Safety will host one more session on Nov. 14 and also created self-guided online presentations. Perhaps, nothing ever happens in Princeton, but don’t you want to be ready if it does?
ASK THE SEXPERT
This week, she discusses birth control. Dear Sexpert,
My boyfriend and I have started having sex recently, and even though we always use condoms when we have sex, I want to be extra careful. So, I’m looking into using another form of birth control as well. I don’t want to go on the pill, because I’m afraid that the hormones will impede my future ability to have kids. What are my other options?
— Hormone Free
Dear Hormone Free,
It’s great that you already use condoms every time you have sex! It’s an important practice concerning your sexual health, as the male condom lowers the risk of both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However, before we explore additional birth control options, I want to first address your concern about hormones. Forms of birth control that contain hormones do not have lasting effects on your ability to get pregnant. After discontinuation, most forms of hormonal birth control will allow the user to get pregnant — almost immediately. When used properly, hormonal forms of birth control are highly effective in reducing the chance of becoming pregnant. However, if you would prefer to use a non-hormonal
form of birth control, there are many options. One is ParaGard, the 100% hormonefree intrauterine device (IUD). A medical professional places the device, which uses natural copper to prevent sperm from fertilizing the egg, into your uterus. This method can be inserted and remain effective for up to 10 years. Spermicide is another option and should be used in conjunction with a condom (male or female) to be the most effective. You can use your fingers or the applicator to insert the spermicide in the vagina. Make sure to check the expiration date and follow the specific instructions on the bottle as different spermicides may have different directions. Some types of spermicide can cause skin irritations, so you may want to try out a few different brands. Another option is the diaphragm, which must be used with spermicide in order to be as effective as possible. It’s a latex or silicone cup that is inserted into the vagina to prevent the sperm from entering the cervix. It needs to be inserted every time you have sex, which means it requires some planning. A fourth option is the contraceptive sponge. The sponge is a small foam disc that continuously releases spermicide. Like the
diaphragm, you have to insert it before you have sex, but it can be inserted hours in advance and worn for up to 30 hours after you put it in. Finally, there is the cervical cap, which is a small silicone cup that you insert into the vagina to cover the cervix. The cervical cap is most effective when used with spermicide. It can be inserted up to six hours before intercourse but should not be left in place for more than 48 hours. If any of these methods sound appealing to you, or you change your mind about hormonal options, I strongly encourage you to make an appointment with Sexual Health and Wellness at University Health Services to discuss which method would be the best fit for you. The clinicians can help you decide on a form of birth control and teach you how to use it properly so it can provide the most protection.

ct. 25: My fall break began with waiting for the Tiger PaWW bus in the wrong spot for about 20 minutes. But I do get points for being on the right side of the train tracks on the first try. Granted, I spent a while making sure of this. I didn’t want to end up in some northern wasteland (looking at you, Maine). Arriving in D.C. was strange at first. My toothbrush was missing from the bathroom. My place at the dinner table had changed. But my bedroom was exactly the same as I had left it. It was comforting to know my mom hadn’t turned it into a workout room or renovated it into a disco hotspot. Yet. Oct. 26: I woke up without an alarm for the first time in ages. It was glorious. A harsh reality settled in when I knew I wouldn’t be welcomed with Forbes Sunday brunch – I felt like crying. The only productive thing I did all day was clean my desk, which hadn’t been organized since prom. I found some materials from my college application process, which seemed like a lifetime ago. My desk was the living relic of a world before New Jersey, tigers and the Wa. Oct. 27: My hunt for Chipotle began. Along the way, I spent some time with old friends who attend nearby universities. The inevitable awkward “catch up” conversation ensued. One friend even confessed his undying love for me (just kidding, it was a small crush. No one loves me. Ha. Haha.) Despite this, I did not find Chipotle that day. So the rest doesn’t matter. Oct. 28: It felt like summer
again as I sat and watched TV all day. I quickly learned that Comedy Central, BET and MSNBC are my new ways of life. For a while, I seriously considered getting some work done, but then I realized how silly I was being and took a nap instead. Oct. 29: I got out of the city for a few days to spend time with my father, stepmother and brothers, all of whom live in Maryland. The weather outside was absolutely perfect, but I spent the afternoon watching Clueless. It was beyond worth it. Feeling guilty for not doing any work, I took a crack at my midterm paper but ended up wallowing in the fact that midterms were supposed to be over, yet I still had one. Then I remembered that I also had a p-set to do. Shortly after this realization, I got on YouTube and binge-watched College Humor videos while eating Nutella. This may have been the happiest day. Oct. 30: I try my hand at my midterm paper again but only made it to page three. Progress is progress, right? I rewarded myself with leftover pizza slices. Even though the weather on Halloween Eve (I understand that this is not a thing, but who cares) was perfect again, I chose to enjoy it indoors and play with my younger brothers. This, too, was worth it. Oct. 31: While my brothers went to school in their Halloween getup, I went back to the city to spend time with my mother. I didn’t give them a formal goodbye, mostly because I didn’t want them to be sad on a day meant for fun. I thought about that p-set I had to do, but then thought lon-
ger about the Halloween party my mother and I were going to later. There was no way I was going to get all Audrey Hepburn-ed again, partly because I was lazy and partly because it was a Princetoween special, which we all know is the real Halloween. Most importantly, I finally got Chipotle. And isn’t that what matters? Nov. 1: Forget about the Christmas season starting after Thanksgiving, I thought Christmas started NOW. My jolly Christmas carol playlist inspired me to finally finish my paper (a Christmas miracle!) before ordering Chinese food and watching Saturday Night Live with my mom. I tried not to think about how it was my last night in my own bed. It felt strange to realize I didn’t actually live with my parents anymore. I didn’t want to feel all sentimental yet, so I spent some time eating cake instead. Nov. 2: Before fall break, I thought that my Princeton life and my D.C. life were separate. Princeton was chock-full of individuality and new opportunities while D.C. was the home of a more reserved and dependent self. My train ride back to campus seemed to merge the two together in one bubbly, perfectly awkward mini-adult. This shift is one most freshmen are going through, and I spent every millisecond thanking whatever forces made it possible for me to be growing up at the best damn place of all. I stepped on campus inspired by my new self-discovery. Not inspired enough to get my pset done, but still pretty inspired. I’ll tackle that tomorrow… Maybe.

Princeton University Players present ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Q&A Director Tyler Lawrence ’16

STREET’S
TOP TEN
CAROLINE HERTZ Senior Writer
For one weekend only, Princeton University Players presents “Little Shop of Horrors.” Composed by Alan Menken and written by Howard Ashman, this musical incorporates horror, comedy and rock in the tale of a florist shop worker raising a flesh-eating plant. PUP’s production, directed by Tyler Lawrence ’16, runs this Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Matthews Acting Studio at 185 Nassau Street. Senior Writer Caroline Hertz caught up with Lawrence to get the inside scoop on this quirky show. The Daily Princetonian: What was your initial draw to the show? What’s your favorite thing about “Little Shop of Horrors”? Tyler Lawrence: I was actually first exposed to it when I was in it during my freshman year of high school. “Little Shop of Horrors” is a really bizarre show — whenever I try to explain the story to people who don’t know it, they always give me a pretty skeptical look. Musicals are “supposed” to be happy, and what could be happy about a man-eating plant? But even with this ridiculous story, and maybe partly because of it, it’s stuck around for years and years and years. Plenty of people who don’t know theater know it [“Little Shop of Horrors”], or have seen the movie, or saw it when their high school did it. I think on some level, I love it because it’s managed to take this nutty story and turn it into some-
thing people want to see again and again. DP: Tell us about your production. What’s your take on the show? TL: The reason that I wanted to mount “Little Shop” was actually because I had an idea about a year-and-a-half ago of a production that featured a female plant. Instead of the typical giant plant puppets, we’re putting the actress [Allison Light ’18] physically on stage in a giant plant-dress made by the phenomenally talented Julia Peiperl [’17]. She is free to move and interact with the other characters. Normally, characters can only interact so far with the plant, because at the end of the day, it’s basically a giant Muppet. But when there’s an actual actress there, inhabiting the space? It totally changes things up in the ways that other characters interact with her and in all of her moments that an actress can convey much better than any puppet. I was also very fortunate to find a cast that was able to take all of this and go with it. The language that the Plant uses can be really, really sexual and totally dripping with innuendo, but sometimes it gets lost between the giant puppets and the booming baritone voice. I wanted to make sure that in our production, there was no way some of those undertones would get swept under the rug. DP: What has the process been like? TL: It’s been a really interesting process,
because I think there’s something cool and exciting about doing a show that very much has an “expected” or “traditional” way to put it on. Also, it has been interesting to figure out how to fit in an element that’s totally at odds with that traditional production. I found that there were moments in rehearsals where we had no earthly idea how to get some things to work. I’d think I had something figured out in my head, only to get into the rehearsal room and realize that for 10 billion and one reasons none of it worked, and I had to scrap it. But that’s part of the fun. Every time we COURTESY OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PLAYERS did that, we figured out an- Dylan Blau Edelstein ’17 and Allison Light ’18 other layer of how to make star in PUP’s musical ‘Little Shop of Horrors.’ things work.

If you liked the video game “Plants vs. Zombies,” you’ll love Princeton University Players’ musical featuring a plant with a zombie-like fondness for human flesh. In this Broadway classic, harmless nerd Seymour Krelborn (who works in the Mushnik’s Skid Row Florist Shop) discovers a mysterious plant with a not-so-harmless craving for blood. As Seymour’s crush on the shop assistant Audrey grows, so does the plant’s appetite. Tickets are on sale now, and this show only runs one weekend! Get your tickets before you get devoured by a monster plant (or before the last show on Saturday night)!
