last week by the MacArthur Foundation. She will receive a no-strings-attached
$500,000 over the next five years. Bassler studies bacteria. For

David Botstein, a renowned genetics
and a professor at Stanford, will become director of the Lewis-Sigler
Institute for Integrative Genomics next July, the university announced.
He told the Daily Princetonian that he plans on establishing teaching
and research programs. The institute will be located in the new
Carl Icahn 57 Laboratory, which is scheduled to open in November.
Last week the Carl A. Fields Center
for Equality and Cultural Understanding, formerly known as the Third
World Center, was dedicated. Located on the corner of Prospect Avenue
and Olden Street, the center is named after Fields, an African-American
who joined the university administration in the 1960s.
A report recommending changes that Princeton
should consider as it implements a plan to strengthen and expand
the university's residential college system was presented
to the Board of Trustees September 20. The report proposes modifications
in advising/staffing, programming, housing, and dining to convert
the university's current system of five two-year colleges into a
system of paired two- and four-year colleges that will, in the words
of the report, "create more interaction for first- and second-year
students with upper-class students, graduate students, and faculty."
Last Thursday student musical performers and
members of campus religious groups shared prayers and songs on the
lawn of the Frist Campus Center at the first annual Festival of
Faiths. Josephine Decker '03, the mastermind behind the event, and
Sean Cameron '05, of the Muslim Students Association, emceed the
event.
Princeton is among a group of research institutions
that NASA has selected to develop new generations of materials
that could revolutionize civil aviation and space travel. The Institute
for Biologically Inspired Materials will conduct basic research
and technology development and initiate an education and training
program in collaboration with the North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University. The participants are scheduled to gather
for an initial workshop and planning session September 25 on the
Princeton campus.
The Cotsen Childrens Library will
reopen October 19, after having undergone renovations to make it
more conducive to repeat visitors. Architect James Bradberry transformed
the library into a space that he hopes makes kids feel that they
have "literally gotten into a story," with give-foot animal
topiaries, benches that look like hedges, and a 17-foot bonsai tree
made of plywood, foam, and fiberglass.
The director of health services, Daniel
Silverman, has emailed students to encourage them to take an
online course about the dangers of alcohol consumption, reported
the Daily Princetonian. The university will give students
who complete the course free movie passes to the Garden Theatre.
The Frederick H. Schultz Professor of Economic
Policy and Lecturer of Public and International Affairs Frederick
D. Barton, formerly one of the highest-ranking Americans at
the U.N., has been named a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic
and International Studies, reported U.P.I. He will "focus on
expanding multilateral partnerships with international organizations,
civil society and key governments, especially the U.N. and its relevant
agencies," reported U.P.I.

Party, Paix et Liberté fought fire with fire by exploiting
the themes, language, and symbols of its opponents' posters.

SPORTS
Gridiron déjà vu as Tigers
squander 17-point lead at Lehigh
As Princeton coach Roger Hughes said after Princetons season
opener on Saturday, September 21, at Lehigh, win or lose,
one game does not make or break a season.
At least thats what the Tigers are hoping after they lost
31-24 at Lehigh despite owning a 17-point lead heading into the
fourth quarter. A 12-yard touchdown pass to Lehighs fullback
with 13 seconds on the clock gave the Mountain Hawks their only
lead of the game and the victory.
It was the seventh loss during Hughess 20-game career at Old
Nassau in which the Tigers lost by a touchdown or less. Hughes is
now 6-14 and 0-3 in season openers.
In the first half the Tigers shoved the third-ranked team in Division
1AA all over the field and looked like they were on their way to
one of the bigger upsets in recent program history. David Splithoff
04s touchdown passes to Chisom Opara 03 and B.J.
Szymanski 05, who had his biggest game ever as a Tiger with
7 catches for 111 yards, and a scoring run from Branden Benson 05
after a 66-yard bomb to Szymanski put Lehigh on its heels early.
Princeton went into the locker room at halftime with a 24-7 lead
having churned out 302 yards of offense in 30 minutes.
But after a scoreless third quarter, Princeton began making the
mistakes that had cost them games in the past. Penalties and turnovers
let Lehigh get back into the game and hold onto its 26-game unbeaten
streak the longest current run in all of Division IA and
IAA.
Princeton (0-1) is under the lights this weekend as it faces Lafayette
