Nan Wells, director of Princetons Office
of Government Affairs in Washington, D.C., has announced that she
will retire from the university in December but will remain as a
senior consultant in government affairs until the end of 2003. Wells,
who has worked at the university for 26 years, joined the Princeton
staff in 1976 as associate director of the Office of Research and
Project Administration and as federal-relations officer. She was
named the founding director of the Office of Government Affairs
when it was created in 1979 and then moved the office to Washington
in 1981.
Ten sophomores were named Martin A. Dale 53
summer award recipients. The grant of $3,000 provides each student
to pursue a project they design themselves. "Kevin Murray will
retrace the Trail of Tears. Ananya Lodaya will travel throughout
England in search of literary landmarks. Laura Winn will paint on
the streets of New York City," reported the Daily Princetonian.
The other recipients are Frankie Ng, David Brundige, Willow Sainsbury,
Alexandra Gliga, Tim Allen, Varanya Chaubey, and Daniel Iglesia.
The Nassau Weekly hosted a "Save the Nass"
party at Terrace Club March 28 to raise money for paying off several
thousand dollars worth of debt.
A discovery by Princeton scientists could
lead to new ways to combat biofilms tough coatings of bacteria
that form on everything from teeth and prosthetic devices to the
hulls of ships. Biologists Karen Otto and Thomas Silhavy found a
mechanism bacteria use to sense when they have touched a solid surface,
which sets into motion the process for building a film. Their study
of E. coli identified a protein on the surface of the bacteria that
initiates biofilm formation, plus a two-protein receptor system
that receives and transmits the signal within the cell. A paper
describing the results appeared in the February 5 online edition
of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The results
suggest that disrupting this sensing mechanism may be an effective
strategy for developers of drugs or other antibacterial agents aimed
specifically at biofilms.

SPORTS
Womens lacrosse wins seventh straight
Theresa Sherry 04 and Kim Smith 02 scored four goals
each as Princeton beat Cornell 16-12 March 30 for its seventh straight
win. The Tigers also walloped Columbia 17-1 on March 27 to open
their Ivy season 2-0 while improving their overall record to 7-1.
The team remains at #2 in the national rankings.
Sherrys 26 points (20 goals, six assists) so far this season
make her the leading scorer for Princeton and the Ivy League. On
April 1, she was named the leagues top offensive player of
the week for the second time this week. The Tigers host Delaware
on April 3 at 7:30 p.m. and then host Yale on April 6 at 2 p.m.
Baseball sweeps four from Penn
The Tigers are on a six-game winning streak and improved to 8-11
this season after taking four games from Ivy League foe Penn this
past weekend at home. On Friday, March 29, Princeton came from behind
to win 5-4 in the first game of a doubleheader and took the second
game 4-1. On Saturday, the Tigers used an early lead to win the
opener 7-4, but had to come back to win the second game 8-4.
Princeton received strong pitching, including five scoreless innings
from David Boehle 03 in the Fridays second game. At
the plate, several Tigers contributed in the victories, including
catcher Jon Miller 03, who drove in three runs on two hits
in the 4-1 win on Friday. Catcher Tim Lahey 04 knocked on
two runs on three hits, including a triple, in the 5-4 win. Shortstop
Pat Boran 02 went 3-for-6 and scored four runs in Saturdays
games.
The Tigers face Rider on April 3 at 3 p.m. before hosting two doubleheaders
with Ivy rivals: Harvard on April 6, and Dartmouth on April 7. Both
match-ups start at 11:30 a.m.
Softball improves to 12-12 with wins over
Quakers
A two-run home run from shortstop Kim Veenstra 02 and a four-hitter
from pitcher Brie Galicinao 02, who had pitched two straight
no-hitters against the Quakers going into the game, led the Tigers
to a 2-0 win against Penn in the first game of a doubleheader March
30. Princeton won the second game of their Ivy League opener 4-2
thanks to three runs batted in from Galicinao.
The Tigers, now 12-12 and 2-0 in the Ivies, travel to Villanova
for a doubleheader on April 4 at 2:30 p.m.
Mens lacrosse loses first Ivy game since
1995
The defending mens lacrosse national champions fell two games
short of an Ivy League record for consecutive conference wins when
it lost 15-13 at home to Yale March 30. The loss was Princetons
first to an Ivy foe in 37 games. Cornell set the record with 39
from 1972-79.
The Tigers bounced back with an 18-4 win over Penn on April 2.
The loss dropped Princeton out of the top ten in the national lacrosse
poll for the first time since 1990. The Tigers could still earn
a share of the Ivy title if they win their five remaining league
games. B.J. Prager 02 moved from 11th to sixth all-time in
goals scored at Princeton with six last week in the win against
Rutgers and the Yale loss. With 98 goals for his career, Prager
is now five away from Josh Sims 00 for fifth all-time.
Princeton rugby clubs host regional tournament
The mens and womens rugby clubs each lost hard-fought
semifinal matches against the Naval Academy March 30 at the Mid-Atlantic
Rugby Football Unions Collegiate championships held on campus.
The two-day tourney brought 24 teams to Princeton to play for a
chance at the national collegiate championship.
The womens team took on Navy first on Saturday. Princeton,
which won the national championship in 1996 and 1997 along with
appearances in the last three Final Fours, took the Navy team into
three overtimes with some quality ball control against its physically
larger opponents. Although they fell behind twice in the overtime
periods and they lost key players to injuries, the Tigers fought
to a 17-17 tie after two extra periods before falling 22-17.
A battered and bruised Princeton womens squad lost 18-7 to
Virginia in the third-place game on Sunday. Navy lost 70-0 to Penn
State in the finals on Sunday.
The mens team faced a Navy unit that had scored 100 points
in their prior game but held the Naval Academy to just 11 points
in the first half before falling 31-13. The Tigers came as close
as 11-10 early in the second half but were eventually worn down
by the rugby powerhouse.
"We gave them a big time scare, though, and really turned a
lot of heads," said mens coach Tom MacFarlane 88.
Princeton dropped the third-place game 18-15 to Virginia Tech.
Avery Kiser 05 wins title at womens
golf tourney
Freshmen Avery Kiser and Meg Nakamura carried the womens golf
team to a second place finish at the 2002 William & Mary Invitational
last weekend by placing first and second, respectively, among all
team players.
Kiser finished the two-round tourney with a 148, just one stroke
ahead of Nakamuras 149. Esty Dwek 04s 153 also
put her in the top 10. The team finished with a score of 615, two
shots back of the winner, James Madison.
Mens volleyball spikes Juniata, Rutgers-Newark
The Tigers handed out two poundings last week, beating Juniata 3-0
at home and handing Rutgers-Newark a 3-0 thrashing on the road.
Freshman Blake Robinson hammered 13 kills in the win over Juniata.
The Tigers are now 11-10 and face Concordia in New York April 3.
Princeton plays its final two regular season games on April 11 at
NJIT and on April 13 at home against Penn State.
