Over 400,000 individuals, three times the estimated projections, took part in the People’s Climate March in New York City on Sunday, Sept. 21 to demand global action regarding climate change.

“S
how me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!” The chant rang out as a mob of orange- and black-clad Princeton students, faculty and community members joined the People’s Climate March in New York City last Sunday. Many held posters — both sponsored by the march’s organizers and handmade signs — as they processed down 72nd Street alongside other activist groups. The People’s Climate March drew over 400,000 participants and is the largest climate march to date, surpassing the Forward on Climate Rally held in Washington D.C. last February. Individuals, groups and organizations from across the nation flocked to New York to take part in the col-
lective demand for environmental action immediately before the commencement of the United Nations Climate Summit. The ideals behind the march’s slogan, “To change everything, we need everyone,” materialized in the event’s organization. Groups and individuals were offered the opportunity to join the march at theme-specific locations in an effort to weave together the diverse array of motivations and solutions that united the collective in the desire for global attention and action addressing climate change. This diversity was reflected in the Princeton delegation as well. Shana Weber, the Director of the Office of Sustainability, estimates that over 300 Princeton-affiliated individuals gathered in New York at the march.
An estimated 175 of these participants are current undergraduate and graduate students. Students United for a Responsible Global Environment and Princeton United Left took the lead on community and student involvement at the request of separate national organizations: the Sierra Club and 350.org. In early June, PUL began informing current members after being contacted by 350.org, a non-profit organization committed to galvanizing a climate movement to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. SURGE joined the movement through collaboration with its long-standing partner the Sierra Club, the nation’s largest grassroots environmental organization. SURGE co-President Isaac Lederman ’15 had a central role in coordinating student involvement and publicizing the event to the Princeton community. Lederman has been involved with SURGE since his freshman year but his interest in the environmental activism dates back to an impactful viewing of “An Inconvenient Truth” in
the seventh grade. “SURGE is a very scrappy organization. Our membership that works on campaigns may not be the largest but through collaborations and alumni, we have been able to accomplish amazing things,” Lederman explained. “I cannot stress this enough the collaboration with other groups and between people, it is a group effort and group cause.” SURGE was founded in 2008 to catalyze a transition from awareness to action and enact change in Princeton’s greenhouse gas emissions. SURGE has partnered with many outside organizations including the Sierra Club, 350.org and Oceana. The group also hosts a variety of panels and campus campaigns. One of the organization’s main focuses is the Princeton Sustainable Investment Initiative, an alternative to the current endowment investment strategy which prompts divestment from fossil fuel-related business. Leigh Anne Schriever ’16, co-president of SURGE, is leading this initiative. Schriever was one of many Princeton marchers who were participating in a protest for the first time. She noted that she was impressed by the turnout, which reminded her that many people care about the environment who have not yet found
engagement in groups like SURGE. The march was the first step forward in catalyzing support in campus activities. Collaboration on the Climate March has had immediate results with the addition of two new graduate chairs to SURGE leadership, Hessameddin Akhlaghpour GS and Alex Piet GS. “We live in a relatively democratic society where the government does not throw you in jail for going to demonstrations and objecting to its policies. That might sound trivial, but it’s not,” Akhlagpour said. “Not too many countries are like that around the world. I believe we must cherish this privilege by doing what we can to improve the situation here and around the world.” SURGE offered subsidized train tickets through the Sierra Club and was awarded High Meadows Foundation funding from the Office of Sustainability to pay for three charter buses to transport students to the march. Lisa Nicolaison, Program Coordinator at the Office of Sustainability, served as an administrative contact for SURGE coordinating march attendance and participated by walking alongside other Princetonians. “There was one moment during the

PRINCETON AT THE PEOPLE’S CLIMATE MARCH, CONT’D FROM S1 march where Isaac Lederman was leading not just our group but many other groups in a chant. It was really great to see Princeton students leading in the streets,” Nicolaison said. On the PUL front, Mason Herson-Hord ’15 and Dayton Martindale ’15 were involved in planning the local participation in the march over the summer and recruitment in the Princeton area. Princeton United Left is a student group that seeks to nurture a space to fight for equality and social justice. PUL has sponsored film screenings, facilitated participation in demonstrations like the Forward on Climate Rally and led demonstrations in the Princeton area. PUL secured $1,000 from Princeton Progressives, an organization “operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare,” to help cover transportation costs. Herson-Hord estimates that about 50 students attending the People’s Climate March were associated with PUL. “I don’t like to frame issues like climate change as environmental issues as if that is something distinct or separate from all other problems or concerns facing humanity,” Herson-Hord said. “I usually treat climate change as a justice problem given that there is a particular set of humanity that is overwhelmingly responsible for the damage done, and there is an entirely different subset of humanity that bears most of the costs of that destruction. I think it is appropriate to label this as a form of violence.” Martindale served as an area representative over the summer and attended meetings led by march organizers in Princeton and Philadelphia. He remarked that he was skeptical early in the summer, as the march did not have a specific goal. However, as the planning progressed, he saw through first-hand involvement that was not necessarily a detriment.
“The problem with climate change, and lots of issues, but especially climate change is that it often comes across as the scientific elite telling you what to do. I think it was valuable to not have it be a celebrity cause. It was a ground up — people got to say what they felt about it — which is a platform that in almost any issue doesn’t often exist,” Martindale explained. This particular platform, the march’s organization and the magnitude of the issue drew an expansive array of proposed solutions and “most important focuses.” Taimur Ahmad ’16, co-founder of the newly-created Princeton Wilderness Society, was motivated to attend the march by a general appreciation for the outdoors and the accompanying conviction that not taking action to protect the environment seemed hypocritical given the inevitable repercussions of climate change. “I think the most interesting thing was the diversity of issues. It was a climate march but every delegation had a different spiel,” Ahmad said. “I was marching right next to hardcore vegans who were saying, ‘Veganism is one of the best tactics towards reducing the carbon footprint.’ Behind us were people for fair-farming practices, and way in the front were indigenous groups whose ways of life had been affected by climate change. More than race or class or gender, so many people have their own take on what we should do.” Misha Semenov ’15, Greening Princeton co-president, had his own solution to present at the march. An architecture major with a strong interest in urban planning, Semenov said that he viewed cities as the best option in sustainable pursuits. He believes they already have the infrastructure for promoting energy saving practices like mass public transportation and already have efficient heating
and cooling systems for larger buildings and centralized distribution centers. His focus is on creating “more walkable urban environments.” Semenov’s poster, which read, “Cities are the Solution,” garnered a large amount of attention from fellow demonstrators, whose reactions ranged from curious to adamantly opposed. Semenov attended the Forward for Climate Rally in 2013 and was impressed by the increased diversity of groups and individuals present at the People’s Climate March. However, he noted that though he knew other groups were present, the march’s structure of separation might have inhibited discussion between these delegations. From the Princeton contingent, Semenov expressed a desire for greater involvement from students and groups across the political spectrum in the movement. “What I would like to see is more conservative environmentalists — not because I necessarily share those beliefs — but more in regards to caring about the earth and our impact on it,” Semenov added. “It is a thing that transcends political beliefs. Knowing how many Princetonians do lean towards the right, I would like to see more diversity in that sense.” Unlike Herson-Hord and Martindale, Semenov’s primary focus does not lie with the total deconstruction of capitalism. While Semenov agreed that the current capitalist system is in need of reform, he was wary of the calls to dismantle capitalism present at the march. “The thing that bothered me most about this climate march was this idea that we have to kill capitalism for anything to happen. I feel that sort of defeats the purpose because if it becomes a march about socialism or anarchy, which a lot of people were holding signs about. I don’t know how effective that is within the
current political framework,” Semenov said. “I don’t plan on dismantling the capitalist system, although I would like it to change, but I do think we can change the way we plan our cities and the priorities we place.” Herson-Hord does not see the barriers preventing the necessary urban reform and social change being overcome without significant changes to the way western society has traditionally functioned. Herson-Hord and Martindale attended the Flood Wall Street protest on Monday, which Herson-Hord described as “upping the ante.” He said that the internal dissents within the environmental justice community reflected protest as a part of the democratic process. “I think that having that disagreement on the table is very important. I think that climate is the issue that is going to be the most effective in turning liberal progressives into radical activists given that it is the perfect illustration of how the working of our economy is at war with itself,” Herson-Hord explained. Regardless of reasoning, the Princeton students present at the march proved that the student body’s apathetic label is not an inevitability. “The march reflected not only the breadth and depth of the environmental movement but also its unity in concern for the planet,” Lederman said. “Some people may disagree about solutions to this threat to our lives and livelihoods and the planet. But at the end of the day, we all want action on climate change, and we all know that world leaders received that message loud and clear on Sunday.”

Tourist or not tourist?

Pericles in Princeton

I
spent two weeks this summer in the Netherlands, a country I once lived in and still know well. I was there for both work and play and spent most of my days wandering around the city of Delft on foot or bicycle, taking pictures. Yes, I am American — pretty typically so — but when I touched ground at the airport at Schiphol (yes, I can actually pronounce it properly in Dutch), I was determined NOT to be labeled an American tourist. Don’t pretend you don’t know what an American tourist is: loud and obnoxious, over-dressed and over-eager, full of questions that natives regard as stupid, insensitive, bumbling and intrusive. You know the look — baseball hats perched proudly, professing a favorite team or university, and kids in athletic shorts and sneakers. The children are herded along by dads sporting Tevas and socks, a combination for which no one should be forgiven, no matter the vacation. American tourists also love to take photographs. Since my project this summer involved photographing Delft, I made a conscious effort to only take photos surreptitiously. I was not the guy with the camera dangling from his neck, taking photos of everything that moved, waving for his kids to smile and pose, as they pretended to be happy at the thirteenth cultural site visit of the morning. Do I even need to mention the fanny pack? In my mind, American tourists seem to do their best to be both unabashedly intrusive to the local cul-
ture and aggressively patriotic. The combination tends to result in an outsider who’s constantly demanding attention but deserving none. I did not want to be associated with that particular American archetype. I love my country, but I know from experience that once I confess my American identity, people start to ask whether Massachusetts (or Princeton) is anywhere near the Jersey Shore and if I have met Snooki, so I consciously try to steer the conversation away from questions of where I might be from. I want to slip back into being a part of the environment and culture that I had once participated in seamlessly. I usually pull off being Dutch passably well. When I speak the language, the accent is there, but not strong enough to indicate any particular nationality. I dress with a certain “European style” that I’ve adopted and embrace as my own. I smile at strangers occasionally, but not as openly or as boldly as American tourists tend to do. I know my way around Holland on public transportation or on a bike (the preferred mode of transportation among locals) and don’t need to ask for directions. I feel like a native, and I’m proud. However, there are always the occasional slip-ups that bring me back to my American reality. For instance, about halfway through my summer trip, when I walked into a local cafe and asked for an iced coffee. Looking at the menu and seeing only specialty items, I tried to clarify in my prettiest Dutch. Ik wil graag
Senior Writer
een ijs-koffie—maar zonder melk, alsjeblieft. “I would like an iced coffee but without milk, please.” The barista looked at me askance. I was sure it was not my accent she didn’t understand; the words were too simple to be misheard. “Koffie” is coffee and “melk” is milk. It was the fact that I wanted my coffee with “geen melk,” or “without milk,” that tripped her up. She stared at me like I was from Pluto — the foreign, rejected planet. “You mean ... espresso with ice? Black coffee on top of ice?” she asked. “Uhh yeah. You know, coffee made cold with ice. Just no milk,” I explained. Apparently, it was a hard concept to understand. And, honestly, in the Netherlands, it is. Milk is an integral part of Dutch culture, so anyone who chooses not to add it to every aspect of their life (coffee, tea, dessert platters, shoe sales, fancy galas, who knows what) is, for all intents and purposes, mentally deranged. It was a face-off. I looked at the barrista with consternation. Why couldn’t she understand that I wanted a regular iced coffee? She looked back at me with disbelief clearly wondering what kind of oddball orders coffee without milk, that sweet nectar from a cow’s udder so essential to a meaningful existence? And then the kicker, as she handed me my “eccentric” order: “You have a slight accent — are you American, maybe?” Foiled. Burned by iced coffee, of all things.
P
rinceton Battlefield is one of the most dramatic sites in the town, serving as a critical location during the Revolutionary War. However, in recent years, various performance groups have harnessed the drama ingrained into the grounds by using the battlefield as the location for their shows. This weekend, the Cradle Theatre Company plans do the same with their production of Shakespeare’s “Pericles, Prince of Tyre,” on Saturday, September 27 at 6 p.m. Spearheaded by Sam Kessler ’15, the play is a collaborative effort between the Cradle Theatre Company, the Princeton Shakespeare Company and Princeton Battlefield State Park. Kessler is currently a member of Cradle, an independent theater company founded in 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland. The group began as a student-run operation; however, the leadership of the organization has since graduated and transformed Cradle into a non-profit, according to its website. The company started a Kickstarter campaign for the production on August 26, 2014 with a funding goal of $1,000. The group had raised $729 as of Wednesday night with the fundraising period ending on Saturday, September 27. As per the official regulations of the crowd sourced funding website, Cradle will receive none of the funds unless they reach their originally stated goal. The description provided on the Kickstarter page gives donors and potential viewers alike a glimpse of the tone of the production — a humorous tale of fishermen, pirates, love, loss and humanity with a hint of Old Hollywood. “We wanted to roll with the summer blockbuster feel of the show, and so we’re adding tie-ins to classic Hollywood movies. We have a score with little sound bytes reminiscent of Wolfgang Korngold and

John Williams to make you feel like you’re in the midst of this blockbuster spectacle,” Kessler explained. Aside from producing the play, Kessler will act in the production, making up one of just five actors who together will portray the 39 characters in the show. The other four actors are affiliated with the Cradle Theatre Company and not the University. The five actors each served as directors for the play, providing guidance for the scenes in which they do not appear. The group has conducted rehearsals at Fordham University for a few months; however, this weekend will be the first time the actors perform on the battlefield, an exciting dynamic for the actors and the audience alike. Kessler has contrived a simple set consisting of a backdrop strung between two trees and a theater block with seating on three sides of the stage for an immersive experience. “Pericles is kind of a weird play because critics hate it. They’re like, ‘This is not good Shakespeare.’ But it’s really fun onstage,” Kessler explained of his choice to produce one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known plays. “In Shakespeare’s time, it was one of his most popular
plays. It was actually more commercially successful than other plays like Hamlet.” The production is not the first to occur at Princeton Battlefield. Last fall, the Princeton Shakespeare Company put on “As You Like It” on the grounds. The year before, Kessler acted in a production of “Cato” that integrated the battlefield into the set, an experience that prompted his interest in bringing “Pericles” to the location. Following this weekend’s performance, the Cradle Theatre Company will bring the play to SoHo next month before taking it on tour. “I’d love to take [the production] to Baltimore since that’s where the company is from,” Kessler added. The production promises to “plunge the audience into a world of shipwrecks, assassins, pirates, jousting and reanimation [with] a cameo appearance by the goddess Diana herself,” according on the company’s Kickstarter page. “The most exciting part of the play is that it sneaks up on you and suddenly hits you in this really human piece of yourself later,” Kessler said of his fondness of the work. “You get sucked into the adventure, and you like Pericles. It’s just a beautiful ending.”

weekly glimpse at campus fashion
ASK THE SEXPERT This week, she discusses multiple condoms. Dear Sexpert, When I was in high school, my boyfriend and I always used two condoms during sex, so that if the inner condom broke, the outer condom would provide extra protection. However, my roommate told me that I should only be using one condom. I’m not sure what to do now — do my boyfriend and I use one condom or two?
— Two For One Special
Dear Two For One, Despite what we usually think, more isn’t always better. In fact, in the case of condoms, more is counterproductive! Condoms are an effective method of risk reduction for both contraction of sexually transmitted infections and conception, but only when they are used properly. “Double-bagging,” or using two condoms at once, increases the risk of tearing both condoms because of the friction created between the two latex surfaces. If both of the condoms tear, you and your
partner have actually increased the risk of contracting STIs or potential pregnancy. When using condoms, you should make sure to use a new condom for every sex act. The pre-ejaculate secretions, semen, vaginal secretions and blood that can be found on a used condom are capable of transmitting infections. It is also important to make sure that you are using the right size of condom for you and your partner. Using the wrong size — either a condom that is too big or too small — also reduces the effectiveness of the condom as a barrier method of protection. Make sure that you and your partner do not use oil-based lubricants — the oil in lots of lotions and food products, such as whipped cream, breaks down the latex in the condom and renders it ineffective. If you are looking for another means of barrier protection, you might consider the female condom. It is a pouch inserted into your vagina that both reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infection and
helps prevent pregnancy. Female condoms, like male condoms, can be used for both vaginal and anal intercourse. However, just like with male condoms, you should never use two female condoms at once, and you should also never use a male condom and a female condom at the same time. It seems like you and your partner might be concerned about relying solely on condoms. You could explore backup methods of contraception with a provider at Sexual Health and Wellness at University Health Services. But, in the case of condoms, male or female, two is one too many!

MAS FLOW BRINGS A NEW EDGE TO DANCE JENNIFER SHYUE Senior Writer
I
f you walked into Dillon Gymnasium around 6 p.m. last Saturday, you probably saw a row of students sporting marathonstyle bib numbers stapled to their shirts waiting to climb the stairs to the Group Fitness Room. Fifteen minutes later, the doors to the room opened, and the crowd began funneling in. Auditions for Más Flow, “Princeton’s premier Latin dance group,” had begun. Inside the room, the 30-odd people who had come to participate in the three-hour audition process were directed into orderly rows of five. Marc Anthony’s “Vivir Mi Vida” played over unseen speakers. The prospective hopefuls auditioning for the group knew Más Flow based on their impromptu performances at the Activities Fair — an event they used to showcase their skills rather than just solicit new members; however, few students on campus know the history
of the group which seemed to pop onto Princeton’s dance scene almost instantaneously. After watching the promotional video posted on Más Flow’s YouTube page to hype up the auditions and seeing the 16-dancer crew decked out in Más Flow gear to lead the participants in some choreography, even I had trouble believing the group is only a yearand-a-half old. When co-founder and current copresident Sharim Estevez ’16 visited campus during Princeton Preview in 2012, she was surprised not to see a Latin dance group featured among the acts at performing arts showcase This Side of Princeton. In the fall of Estevez’s freshman year, Vicky Quevedo ’15 — now a member of Más Flow — began to organize a Hispanic Heritage Month talent show for Princeton Latinos y Amigos, a club dedicated to celebrating and sharing Latin American heritage. Quevedo asked Estevez if she would like to perform in it. “We kind of just got a couple of people
together, called ourselves Más Flow, and just did the talent show,” Estevez said of performance. “And after that, we were like, you know, we should start [the dance company].” In spring 2013, Estevez and copresident Gerson Leiva ’16 officially founded the only urban Latin dance company on campus. Ballet Folklórico de Princeton is also technically a Latin dance group, but it concentrates on the traditional Mexican folkloric dance that is its namesake. Last year, Más Flow performed at a variety of events including the Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at the Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton Caribbean Connection’s Taste of Carnival. Black Arts Company: Dance, Ballet Folklórico and Naacho each chose to feature the group as guest performers in their spring shows. Más Flow will have its own first full-length show this spring. “I think [Más Flow has] been received really well,” member Victoria Navarro ’17 said. “A lot of people tell me that it’s really cool, it’s really neat, it’s something that, even if they can’t be a part of, they want to learn how to do the dances, and I think it’s really cool that people are interested in the styles that we do.” Más Flow focuses on Salsa, Ba-
chata, Merengue and Reggaeton, though the group has also dabbled in Cumbia. Navarro in particular joined the group as a freshman because it’s a way for her to connect with her home. “I live on the border at home. Coming here, for me, it was something I really wanted to do,” Navarro said of her motivation to pursue Latin dancing at the University. “These dances I’ve learned in family parties — things like that; I’ve never really taken lessons, but it’s something that is very much a part of home.” Estevez rattled off a list of other reasons that people join: “Some people want to learn … Some people love the music but don’t necessarily know how to dance to the music. Some people have taken classes for fun.” However, all three members interviewed emphasized that no experience is necessary to audition for the group. “We love everyone,” Leiva said. “We don’t discourage anyone [from] trying out. I think that’s one thing we get across … no experience necessary. We really want all the people that don’t know the dances to come out.”

Veteran director Oge Ude ’16 takes a stab at portraying “Red” — a play about abstract expressionist Mark Rothko which debuted in London and had a short but successful stint on Broadway in 2010. The production incorporates music and dance to explore why people create art. The cast includes six dancers and two actors. Intime has also worked in collaboration with the University Art Museum to sponsor a discussion of the play, the period and the art which corresponds to the current exhibit “Rothko to Richter: Mark-Making in Abstract Painting.”
