Cowboys and prostitutes. Dolls and swans, or perhaps ducks. Kids in a candy shop and martial arts masters. There’s only one place to find it all: Principia College’s own Cox Auditorium. Winter Dance Production is an old tradition at Principia, but it’s changed significantly over the years. According to Junior Kanoe Wagner, Dance Production was once [...]

How to Spot a Pothead
Friday, February 18th, 2011Emboldened by recent events on campus, crack reporter Ben Frederick seeks to expose the seedy underbelly of Principia’s “Cannabis Culture” and promote transparency and mistrust. I come from the Pacific Northwest, a region famous in certain circles for its marijuana culture. There’s even a town called Weed, California. Growing up in Portland taught me a lot [...]
House Profiles
Friday, February 18th, 2011“Let’s Hear it for the Boys” This winter quarter has produced some unforgettable memories at Principia College. It has also been one in which the men’s houses have found different ways to really shine. This campus is home to athletes, actors, biologists, historians, brothers and future fathers. Amidst all this diversity, the men of Principia have somehow [...]
Prin News in Brief
Friday, February 18th, 2011Ciao Down Last weekend Joe McNabb and Brooks co-hosted Principia’s first-ever “Ciao Down.” This was a combination of Joe McNabb’s annual Joe Down party and one of Brooks House’s Club Ciao parties.

A Day in the Life of Josh Sprague
Friday, February 18th, 2011Josh Sprague is the Residence Director for Prin, and so he is in charge of all the house’s RCs. However he also has some other roles around campus, so this week the Prin Pilot followed him as he went through his day to day activities, to show the students everything that Josh gets up to!
Checkmate
Friday, February 18th, 2011While writing my column this week, I began to think about a conversation I had with a friend a couple of years ago. At the time, a mutual friend of ours was pursuing her. He was a really great guy, and she seemed to be interested, but something was holding her back. I couldn’t understand [...]
Presidents’ Column
Friday, February 18th, 2011Hey Students, Student Government is changing the way that we do business for the semesters! We are replacing the Student Activities Board with a new STUDENT SENATE. Instead of having so many specific positions (Meta Head, Eco Head, etc.), we are now going to have a seven-student board that will divide the work among themselves. They [...]
And Here’s Lily with a Couple More Tunes
Friday, February 18th, 2011Dum Dum Girls’ cover of The Smiths’ “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” Perhaps you do not know The Smiths. I suppose that could make sense if you’ve never listened to alternative music pre-your own existence. Or maybe you did not read the teen favorite The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky [...]
Cadillac’s New Tree
Friday, February 18th, 2011Cadillac’s New Tree Last issue I was a bit unorthodox and conducted a test that didn’t involve pushing the car’s limits or driving as though reenacting a chase scene from “CHIPS.” Therefore, this time I deemed it fully necessary to go all-out and test-drive a truly remarkable car. This is why I went to the Quality Buick [...]
Theft surfaces at Prin
Friday, February 4th, 2011Borrowing without asking seems to be a natural—albeit obnoxious—part of living on a college campus. A friend might use a squirt of your toothpaste if they’re running low, and someone else might hop on a stranger’s bike whenever he or she is late to class. These everyday incidents seem pretty harmless. People might be initially [...]
