Colgate 1970
Colgate at Princeton
October 17th, 1970
Princeton wins 34-14
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band invites the parents of the Class of ’74 to take a long, hard look at The Daily Princetonian.
“Princeton Forward”
We turn first to 48 University Place, home of The Gaily Prints-Anything, the campus’ higher priced spread. The Band notes that the editors this year are continuing their policy of sticking their news into other people’s private affairs by publishing the names of students admitted during Freshman Week; the tradition was begun last year by printing the names of Bicker rejects. Forming
a) a two-page layout, or
b) all the screws the Prince can fit,
We overhear the editors planning the next issue of the Tiger Rag. “Do You Want to Know a Secret?” (Band forms square with a line down the center) The Band would like to point out to Freshman parents that the price of subscribing to the Prince has risen sharply in the last year, despite the fact that articles are getting fewer and further between the larger and larger ads. Parents will also be impressed by the relevance of Prince articles to general campus life: grad school mixers, old houses in the town of Princeton and the aerodynamics of Frisbee flying. As the Band forms
a) a scoop for scandal, or
b) a coffee spoon,
we offer a suggestion for future news articles. “Silence is Golden” Speaking of irregularity, for those who are distressed about irregularities in the size of the Prince, friends and enemies alike will be relieved to know that future issues will come in full 1000-sheet rolls. Forming
a) a floral pattern
b) a news release, or
c) a pruned down issue,
“Is two enough; is six too many?” “Wipe Out” (Band forms a blob) Turning to the editorial pages, (which are easy enough to find), the Band commends the Prince‘s editors for their pointed criticism of campus individuals and organizations, and for their good taste in exposing hard truths, mixed with their usual libelous insults. Forming
a) a masthead
b) the Prince staff
c) hard truths, or
d) their one good point,
The Band steps out of tradition and offers an appropriate gesture to the spirit of yellow journalism. “Yellow Bird” (Band forms ‘1’)
