Talk:Two Dickinson Street Co-op

message: Okay, I think I've figured out how to do the 'hang-on' now. Hopefully this is correctly tagged.
This page was instantly deleted. Wikipedia has an entry for every one of the eating clubs at Princeton University Eating clubs. 2D has a 30+ year history at Princeton is at least as notable as those eating clubs. Give it a couple of days so we can add some detail as to why it is significant/notable. The history of 2D plays an important role in Princeton history, especially in light of the significance of the Eating clubs. Ajkessel 14:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

The Princeton Alumni Weekly sees 2D as inheriting a 100+ year tradition of eating cooperatives at Princeton:
http://www.princeton.edu/~paw/archive_new/PAW03-04/13-0421/features.html
The cooperative model, as an alternative to eating clubs, has historical precedent at Princeton. In a May 1903 issue of PAW, a campus news item noted that 'a cooperative club has been tried on a small scale this year in Princeton, among members of the junior and senior classes.' The 50 members each paid $4.50 a week for meals, but the group broke up when members began to suspect that the managers were skimming profits for themselves.  A century later, Brown and Two Dickinson charge $600 and $500 per semester, respectively, and the members have checks and balances on spending.

As an alumna of Princeton and 2D, I want to add that 2D is indispensable to an understanding of the sociology of Princeton University, arguably the best university with the best undergraduate education in the world.  I'm not entirely sure what Wikipedia's criteria for irrelevance are, but 2D seems very important to me!
I think somebody is just being spiteful, as in, "Ha ha, let's mess with the vegetarians." I'd like to hear from the user who suggested deletion. To my mind, there's no question that 2D serves a vital function at Princeton University, as both an alternative to the eating clubs and as a thriving community in its own right. It may not be a very popular option, but everyone recently attending Princeton knows of it. It is a Princeton icon, and a very recognizable subculture on campus.

message: The history section suggests that 2 Dickinson St. was formed partly in response to the sit-in at Nassau Hall in spring 1978. This is incorrect, because the sit-in (April 14) was actually an anti-apartheid protest. I propose striking that clause. Also, about the same time (maybe in 76-77), Terrace Club reopened as a non-selective club that was at the time quite politically active.Academic38 (talk) 07:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
