Sixteen watercolors by French master Paul Cezanne that are rarely shown because of their sensitivity to light will be exhibited at the University Art Museum starting this month. The works are part of the Henry and Rose Pearlman Collection. The exhibit will be on view from October 19 through January 12.

Students can now earn a certificate in Contemporary European Politics and Society. And two new courses have been developed for students pursuing the certificate: History and Politics of Modern Europe and European Economy.

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.''

The Program in the Study of Women and Gender will mark its 20th anniversary this year with three events planned for the coming weeks. Originally called the Program in Women's Studies, the academic unit was approved by the university faculty in 1981. The events scheduled will feature several women who have taught in the program and were on campus in its early years. For a list of events, go to the program’s Web site: http://www.princeton.edu/~prowom/.

Last week 130 students from Hoboken and Jersey City schools toured the Newark Museum, guided by 15 Princeton students, as part of the university’s Arts Alive program aimed at healing those affected by September 11 through cultural experiences, reported the Prince. Princeton volunteers also accompanied 400 students from New York City schools through the American Museum of Natural History.

Vice President for Development Brian McDonald ’83 has restructured Princeton’s development office to promote teamwork and develop new technological networks, reported the Daily Princetonian. The office’s eight departments have been consolidated into four. And McDonald’s office plans to develop an online network for use by volunteers.

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.

She stated that her actions were legal.

Walter Cerf *41, who died last year, left more than $6 million to the university. Princeton will use $500,000 of the funds to establish a scholarship in honor of Maitland Dwight ’39, who offered Cerf a cooking job on campus after he moving to America from Germany in 1936. Later Cerf taught philosophy at Princeton.

SPORTS

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.

Women’s 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 year’s 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 women’s soccer without a loss. It’s been more than 20 years since Princeton’s women’s 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.

Women’s golf wins ECAC title; Kiser ’05 captures individual title
The Women’s 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 finished at 468. Avery Kiser ’05 won a six-hole playoff with Elizabeth Carpenter of Brown to take her second straight ECAC title. Meg Nakamura ’05 tied for fifth and Emma Stachowicz ’06 placed 10th.

Field hockey wins two, then gets shut out by Boston University

The Tigers outshot Boston University 27-5. Princeton outcornered BU 14-4. But it was 18th-ranked Boston University that came away with a 2-0 win in Connecticut on Sunday, October 13, snapping a two-game win streak. Princeton fell to 6-5 on the year and is now ranked 16th in the country.
On Saturday, October 12, the Tigers defeated the University of Connecticut, 4-3, thanks to Ilvy Friebe ’03’s 16th goal of the season in the game’s second overtime period.
Princeton also defeated the University of Delaware 5-1 on Wednesday, October 9.
The Tigers host Brown on Saturday, October 19, at Class of 1952 Stadium at 1 p.m.

Women’s tennis loses to Yale in ECAC championships
It came down to the final two singles matches as Princeton fell to Yale 5-2 in the tournament championship match at the ECAC championships on Sunday, October 13, in New York.
The Tigers defeated James Madison 4-0 and Boston College 4-3 in the opening rounds of play, and they reached the finals with a 4-0 victory over Brown.

Men’s soccer drops to 2-6-2
The Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over nationally ranked American at home on Wednesday, October 9, thanks to a goal from freshman Darren Spicer with just five seconds remaining in the game. Spicer’s play earned him Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors. He leads the team with six points on two goals and two assists.
