N A S S A U   N O T E S Caution urged in new roundabout The construction of the first of two roundabouts designed to improve traffic flow and safety on campus has been completed. The south guard booth on Elm Drive has been moved from the area near Parking Lot 16 to a location near Poe Field. The area near Parking Lot 16 has been converted to a roundabout. "An important objective of these modifications is to eliminate the long lines and delays at the guard booth, which have occurred when vehicles with destinations in the central campus must stop for information and passes, holding up employees and service vehicles on their way to parking or other destinations," said Jon Hlafter, director of physical planning. Motorists are urged to use caution when entering the new roundabout. Traffic circulates one way around a central island, with entering traffic yielding the right of way to circulating traffic. A second roundabout will be constructed at the corner of Faculty Road and Elm Drive early this year. top		January 8, 2001 Vol. 90, No. 13 previous   archives   next Contents Page 1 • Contest prompts 'thinking about thinking' • Morrison wins humanities medal Page 2 • People / Briefs • Obituaries: Three faculty remembered / Staff • By the numbers: The Graduate School Page 3 • Writing program revamped • Graduate School's 100th anniversary gala dinner dance Page 4-5 • Calendar of events Page 7 • Two named Rhodes, Marshall scholars • Caution urged in new roundabout Page 8 • Nassau notes •   Clothing drive nets 2,000 items for Hire Attire •   King observance scheduled •   Science on Saturday talks set •   Learn about Russian literature via audiotape, e-mail and live lectures The Bulletin is published weekly during the academic year, except during University breaks and exam weeks, by the Office of Communications, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544.
