2 THE PRINCETON SUN — APRIL 20–26, 2016
By ERICA CHAYES WIDAThe Sun
On Wednesday night, April 6, alocal 17-year-old named JamaicaPonder braved the spotlight and,perhaps more unnerving, the cut-throat culture that comes withbeing in high school and bloggedher reaction to a photo posted toSnapchat.
As Ponder put it, the photo wasof a “harrowingly recognizable
basement” with her male class-mates, “front and center” playinga game of beer pong. Only, in-stead of the plastic cups beingplaced in the shape of triangles,they’re set up in the shape of aswastika and the Star of David.
This “Jews vs. Nazis” drinkinggame has been coined via the In-ternet and sites such as Wik-tionary.com as “Alcoholocaust.”The ways of the game includerules such as having an “AnneFrank cup” that can be hiddenanywhere in the room or an“Auschwitz move” thatenables you to make someone sit
out.This drinking game, according
to Wiktionary, which begs thequestion “how far is too far?” andseems to be receiving the unani-mous answer, “this is too far,” hasrapidly circulated the web andtraveled internationally amongdozens of news sources andblogs.
On a local level, Superintend-ent Steve Cochrane, the PrincetonPublic Schools Board of Educa-
tion, PHS administration, thePrinceton Police Department andteens who live in Princeton haveacted swiftly.
Cochrane stated:“We are talking to those stu-
dents and their families. We arealso focused on the lessons thisincident has for all of us. Under-age drinking is not a new prob-lem; nor is the misuse of socialmedia; nor are actions of bias orbigotry. They are not new prob-lems, but they do not have to beongoing ones. As a community,we all have a role in teaching ourchildren to make good decisions,
to be legally responsible and to berespectful members of a diversesociety. An incident such as thisone forces us to take a hard lookat our efforts in educating ourchildren in the values that may bemost important to their successin life.”
Princeton Police Chief Nicholas Sutter voiced:
“We didn’t look at this just forthe social media aspect. We re-ceived a complaint. The criminal-
ity is regarding the providing of alcohol to a minor. That’s whatour investigation will be restrict-ed to.”
The police department re-ceived the complaint sometimethe week of April 6 but cannot re-lease any detailed informationwhile the case is ongoing.
“Too often people believe thatwe live in a post-racial society, butthis event is a brutal wake up callto the state of our reality. Every-day, people are bigoted in thename of humor, jest and immatu-rity, and it cannot continue,” saidPrinceton Day School student
Ziad Ahmed, founder and presi-dent of Redefy, the Princeton-based advocacy group. “Anti-Semitism is not a joke. Anti-Semi-tism is a real, horrible and preva-lent form of hatred that we mustoppose fiercely. Furthermore, it istruly repulsive to in any waydownplay the severity of theHolocaust. Over 11 million peopledied in the Holocaust, over 6 mil-lion of whom were Jewish. Justlast week, my heart hurt after
hearing a Holocaust survivor re-count her story to my school. Thepain of the Holocaust, anti-Semi-tism and all forms of injustice aretoo profound to ever be over-looked. It will never be funny toplay games about genocide, espe-cially in a world where hatredstill runs so rampant.”
“Putting the picture on socialmedia means that someone wasproud enough of the game towant to show it off, meaning thatthey must be trapped in the delu-sional mindset that making adrinking game based off of theHolocaust is cool. Or funny. Or
anything besides insane. Becausethat’s what this is: insanity,” Pon-der said.
“This situation calls forthoughtful action on the part of our entire community – and ourcommunity has responded,”Cochrane said. “I am pleased thatwe are working with The JewishCenter of Princeton to plan anevent at the high school on May 3for Holocaust Remembrance Day.We are partnering with Corner
House to offer a program on May18 focused on underage drinkingand host liability. We are also inconversation with the PrincetonPublic Library to develop a forumon the power and potential prob-lems associated with the use andmisuse of social media … In addi-tion, the Diversity Taskforce atthe high school, comprised of stu-dents, staff and administrators,will be coming together to consid-er a program in June to facilitateschool-wide dialogue on thebroader issues of tolerance andrespect as they relate to race, reli-gion and culture.”
The following reports are pro-vided by the Princeton Police De-partment.

8 p.m. on April 8 and 7 p.m. onApril 9 an unknown person stoleher white 2015 Range Rover Auto-

“In this incarnation, Morvenin May is in its fifth year,” saidMorven’s Director of Develop-ment Barbara Webb, one of the
event’s creators. “The art is pret-ty extraordinary. We’re lucky tonow be attracting some of thebest and most talented artists intheir medium in this country. Ourartists show here, but also showat the Smithsonian Craft Showand Philadelphia Museum of Artcraft show. I love bringingthese incredible talents to Prince-ton so people can enjoy theirwork.”
The weekend kicks off Fridaynight on the front lawn with a
preview garden party under themoon and tented twinkling lights.The party, catered by MaxHansen, will allow guests to enjoycocktails and their pick of theartists’ collections. Tickets for the
preview party range from $150 to$1,000.
Throughout the weekend,there will be a plethora of eventsfor the whole community to enjoy,including “Art in the Garden: AScavenger Hunt for Children.”Tickets for the craft show are $10,$8 for Friends of Morven, and in-clude visitation to the museum’sindoor Lindenbergh exhibit. Allproceeds help fund Morven’s ex-hibitions, historic gardens andeducational programs.
Along with beautifully craftedworks ranging from ceramics,furniture, jewelry, metalwork,decorative fiber and mixed mediaglass, there will be plant sales inthe garden.
“Our show is very differentfrom some of these others, suchas the Smithsonian, which hasbeen around for decades and ismuch larger. Ours is much small-er. The artists really appreciatebeing able to engage with the pub-lic. It has an intimacy that’s very
special,” Webb said.Webb and her team work
throughout the year to put onMorven in May. By July, they ex-tend invitations and receive appli-cations from an array of artists.
By December, the artists are se-lected, and the planning contin-ues throughout the spring.
“It has become the signatureevent of the museum. It’s thelargest endeavor we take on be-sides the grand exhibitions. Wewant to connect to the public in alarge way, not just for the craftshow and plant sales but to havethem become engaged with all thethings we do here,” Webb said.
The craft show and plant salewelcomes Princetonians from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday andSunday. The plant sale boasts awide variety of stunning plantsuncommon in most modern nurs-eries. Garden-lovers will be givena four-page list of all the plantsavailable including fragrant heir-looms, perennials, floweringshrubs and Morven’s own gardennatives.
“We want people to come, staya long time, meet a friend, havelunch,” Webb said. “The artistsset up a ring of gallery-style

streets. It is to preserve and honorthe people of the W-J – the indi-viduals who experienced segrega-tion, who contributed to the fab-ric of Princeton and who contin-ue to maintain its essence.
Among the advocates is ShirleySatterfield, a local historian whoLempert thanked for her work topreserve the neighborhood.
Satterfield stepped to the podi-
um and sighed heavily: “I lived it… I went through and livedthrough segregated Princeton. Iwent to the school for coloredchildren. My grandmother taughtat the first school for colored chil-dren. She taught Paul Robeson. Iwalked with Einstein when mymother worked at the Institute forAdvanced Study and she wouldwalk home with him. I knew atthat time: ‘I got things to say.’ Iwent to the colored Y, all my rela-tives are buried in the colored sec-
tion of the cemetery. I go to With-erspoon Presbyterian Church,one of the four native churches inour community. In 1890, there wasa protest. African Americanswalked through downtown to rat-ify the 14th Amendment. Let usnot have to walk through Prince-ton to get this 20th district whichwe deserve.”
Council voted 5-0 to pass theWitherspoon-Jackson neighbor-
hood as Princeton’s 20th HistoricDistrict. It plans to revisit the or-dinance and discuss whether the
recommended areas, such as thecemetery path on Witherspoon,be amended and removed fromthe district.
In other news:• There was public comment on
behalf of taxi drivers in Prince-ton regarding the transportationcompanies Uber and Lyft. Legaltaxis are required to have back-ground checks, fingerprints anddriving records posted in theircars, as well as being covered
under commercial insurance.“We certainly need to addressthis,” Councilwoman Jenny Cru-miller said.
Lempert said the matter wouldgo to public safety for review inhopes of reviving taxi businessand to enforce the ticketing of Uber/Lyft drivers.
• Councilman Bernie Miller an-nounced the town will be replant-ing 150 trees this spring to replacethose under attack by the Emer-ald ash borer and those which fell
during wind storms.• Council created two handi-
capped parking spots on JeffersonRoad. The ordinance was passedunanimously.
• Council changed the parkingmeters on Palmer Square Southby the old post office from short-term meters with 15-minute lim-its to long-term meters with two-hour limits. The ordinance waspassed unanimously.

It’s no doubt CommuniversityArtsFest is a great time and hasbeen for 46 years. The food is plen-ty, the music is diverse, the artcan be interactive and there are aplethora of booths offering localservices, free goods and fun. Itseems the festival, organized bythe Arts Council of Princeton,Princeton University and thecommunity, grows every year.Navigating the crowded streetshas become a favorite pastime of many who come.
On Sunday, the weather wasperfect. Clouds of grill smokerose above the tents and madePrinceton’s thousands hungry fordelicious eats – from paella to Ko-rean barbecue – and thirsty for acold beer. There’s something spe-cial seeing families covering the
university’s lawn, enjoying all thethings Princeton has to offer on aregular basis.
To find out what festival-goers’favorites were, The Sun left itsbooth on Witherspoon Street and
explored.In front of the university,
which had the flags of manycountries hanging on its facade,many of its students ran boothsin support of their organizationsand clubs. Among the hat-makingbooths and homemade Chinesefood, one in particular was themessiest of the bunch.
A group of guys sat shirtlessand covered in pie – beckoningpassersby to smash pie in thereface for a small donation to thecause. The students were fromthe Leukemia and Lymphoma So-ciety, lls.org.
The group of pie-coveredyoung men said their favoritething about Communiversity wasseeing not only the university stu-dents come out for their causesbut to see other area schools joinin. They also enjoy how the festi-val encourages them to venture
out of their campus bubble andappreciate how gorgeous thetown is.
Florencia Curchitser, age 9,and her mom Randy worked to-gether to perfect a handmade hat
with a big bow for Florencia.“My favorite part is making the
art,” Florencia said smiling.Vi and Amanda Nguyen sat
with their 3-month old daughterAn-li and 2-year-old Mai having apicnic on the grass.
“The food,” the parents saidwhen asked about their Commu-niversity favorite.
“I think Mai likes all the give-aways,” Amanda said. “And we’vegot this weather. We’ve been com-ing to Communiversity for about10 to 12 years now.”
The Moorcroft sisters, Emily, 7,and Charlotte, 5, enjoy all thesweets they get to eat.
“Cotton candy,” Emily saidunder the shade of one of thekids’ tents.
Jodi, Arik, Lilly, 7, and DavidMizarchi, 5, got some free beachballs and tossed them around to-gether outside.
“I love seeing friends, relaxing,listening to the music - like thisgreat Beatles cover band,” saidJodi – the tune of “All my Loving”blasting from the stage behindher. “Just, this.”
