A conference titled Bioterrorism:
Science, Security and Preparedness, organized by two graduate
students, brought Jack Killen of the National Institute for Allergy
and Infectious Diseases, a unit of the National Institutes of Health,
to campus. Killen said that in addition to biological agents, the
nation needs to be concerned about the reemergence of natural threats,
including AIDS, West Nile, and Lyme disease. We have to deal
not just with bioterrorism but also with re-emerging infectious
disease.''

on the Web: http://infoshare1.princeton.edu/libraries/firestone/rbsc/mudd/online_ex/paix/
The exhibition showcases the work of the French anti-Communist
organization Paix et Liberté (Peace and Liberty), which endeavored
to combat what it regarded as lies contained in Communist posters.
Founded by French politician Jean-Paul David in 1950 against the
backdrop of a successful poster campaign by the French Communist
Party, Paix et Liberté fought fire with fire by exploiting
the themes, language, and symbols of its opponents' posters.

Football snatches 14-10 win from Colgate
David Splithoff 04, B.J. Szymanski 05, and Cameron Atkinson
03 took care of things on offense, and Zak Keasey 04
and Jay McCareins 05 did the job defensively on Saturday,
October 12, as Princeton won its third straight game, beating Colgate
14-10 at Princeton Stadium. The Tigers had not won three in a row
since 1997.
Splithoff and Szymanski continued to display their big-game potential,
connecting on a 73-yard touchdown with less than three minutes left
in the game to take the lead in what was a defensive battle most
of the afternoon. Szymanski finished with seven receptions for 170
yards. Splithoff, who was spelled by backup Matt Verbit 05
after taking a hard hit in the first half, also threw a 62-yard
scoring pass to Andy Bryant 03 on the Tigers first play from
scrimmage. Atkinson put up his third straight 100-yard rushing game,
grinding out 104 yards on 15 carries.
Keasey hit Colgate from all sides and finished with 11 tackles and
three sacks. The game was not decided until McCareins made an acrobatic,
game-saving interception after Colgate had driven to the Princeton
34-yard line in the closing minutes.
The Tigers (3-1, 1-0 Ivy) avenged two straight lopsided losses to
Colgate, which handed Princeton a 35-10 defeat last year and a 34-6
drubbing in 2000.
The remainder of Tigers schedule is all Ivy League, beginning
with Brown on Saturday, October 19, at home. The two teams have
averaged an aggregate 78 points over the last three years. Brown
won last season in Providence, 35-24, but Princeton has won six
of the last seven matchups at home. Brown is coming off a 24-17
loss to Fordham on the road.
Womens soccer stands as lone undefeated
team in Division I
Sophomore Esmeralda Negron scored game winners in the Tigers
two wins over Rutgers and Penn this week, as Princeton remained
undefeated. Negron scored the lone goal as Princeton avenged a loss
to Rutgers in last years NCAA playoffs with a 1-0 win on Tuesday,
October 8, at home.
Against Penn, she connected on an overtime winner to give the 15th-ranked
Tigers (11-0, 4-0 Ivy) a tough 2-1 win. Negron, who leads the team
with seven goals, earned Ivy League Player of the Week honors for
her heroics.
Princeton is now the only team in Division I womens soccer
without a loss. Its been more than 20 years since Princetons
womens soccer team opened a season with 11 wins in a row.
In 1980 the first year of varsity soccer at Princeton
the Tigers opened 14-0.
The Tigers travel to Villanova Wednesday, October 16, to face Villanova,
which ranked 25th nationally.
Womens golf wins ECAC title; Kiser
05 captures individual title
The Womens golf team beat Brown by one stroke to win the ECAC
Championships Sunday, October 13. The Tigers finished the rain-shortened,
27-hole tournament at Gettysburg with a score of 467, while Brown
