A former Princeton professor of politics and public affairs, DiIulio was a professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania when President Bush tapped him earlier this year to head the first federal office intended to promote the integration of religious groups into federally financed social services.

The creation of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives was a signature campaign issue for the president that has drawn criticism from groups that advocate a strict separation of church and state. However, legislation directing government funds to religious social service programs already has been introduced in Congress, and hearings will take place later this month.

The speech, part of the John Olin Foundation Lectures on the Moral Foundations of American Democracy, is sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.

Princeton is building a sixth residential college to accommodate the addition of 500 undergraduates to the student body approved last April by the trustees. The committee is recommending that the new college be designed and two of the existing residential colleges be renovated to house juniors and seniors as well as freshmen and sophomores.

Currently, residential colleges are composed predominantly of first- and second-year students. Most third- and fourth-year students live in dormitories that are not part of a residential college and take their meals either at eating clubs or make their own dining arrangements.

After reviewing background information ranging from student surveys to data from other universities, the committee determined that a new residential life option for juniors and seniors should be offered because the current alternatives do not fit the needs of all undergraduates.

In February, the committee issued an interim report proposing four models for the residential colleges. The report was posted on the Web and was discussed in more than 20 presentations on campus, in an e-mail survey of all undergraduates and in a focus group.

The final report recommends that three of the six colleges each accommodate approximately 400 freshmen and sophomores plus 100 juniors and seniors. The remaining three colleges each would accommodate 475 freshmen and sophomores.

For the complete final report, contact Chris Faltum in the Office of the Vice President and Secretary at cfaltum@princeton.edu; it also is available on the office's Web page at www.princeton.edu/~vp .

The trustees are expected to discuss not only the report on the composition and program for the sixth residential college, but also the location of the college at the April 21 meeting.

His address, "Confronting the Past: Is the Truth Commission Model Always Appropriate?," will begin at 4:30 p.m. in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.

Winans, an English professor, plays a prominent role in the current reawakening of interest in this significant phase of the banjo's history. According to Princeton professor Rob Wegmen, part of this reawakening has to do with Civil War reenactments but Winans brings an important cultural, historical and musicological perspective on the history of the instrument. He is considered to have "single-handedly" revived the minstrel banjo playing style, in the 1970s. Until then, the style had been out of currency for nearly one hundred years.

Wegmen notes that original minstrel banjos from the 1840s, even in states of total disrepair, typically fetch $2,000 to $4,000 on popular Web auction sites. Their sonority, sound quality and playing style are decidedly different from that of the banjo as it modernized in the decades around 1900. This alone raises important questions about the history of musical taste and listening in late 19th-century America. Winans will illustrate these developments with live demonstrations and with slides of the banjo at various stages of its history.

Winans, who made a CD reconstruction of 1840s minstrel show music in 1985, also authored the classic article "The Folk, the Stage, and the Five-String Banjo in the Nineteenth Century," published in the Journal of American Folklore in 1976.

The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, e-mail Rob Wegmen.

Venter, whose talk is titled "Sequencing the Human Genome," is president and chief scientific officer of the Celera Genomics Corp., which established itself as a competitor to the international, publicly financed sequencing program.

In 1990, scientists began an organized effort to map the sequence of chemical units that make up human DNA. The effort was led by a consortium of academic centers and was financed for the most part by the National Institutes of Health and the Wellcome Trust of England.

In 1998, Venter announced that Celera would sequence the genome by 2000, five years sooner than the public consortium's goal of 2005. That initiative greatly accelerated the process, which culminated with a joint announcement by both groups on June 26, 2000, that the sequencing was complete. The groups published their findings -- the results of analyzing 3.12 billion chemical units -- in the journals Science and Nature in February.

Between 1984 and 1992, Venter was a section and lab chief in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health. In 1990, he developed "expressed sequence tags" (ESTs), a new strategy for gene discovery that has revolutionized the biological sciences. Venter left the NIH in 1992 and founded The Institute for Genomic Research, a not-for-profit genomics research institution. He formed Celera in 1998 in collaboration with the Perkin Elmer Corp., a scientific instrumentation company.

Venter's lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

In a statement, Felten said:

"Our paper was submitted via the normal academic peer-review process. The reviewers, who were chosen for their scientific reputations and credentials, enthusiastically recommended the paper for publication, due to their judgment of the paper's scientific merit."

"Nevertheless, the Recording Industry Association of America, the SDMI Foundation, and the Verance Corporation threatened to bring a lawsuit if we proceeded with our presentation or the publication of our paper. Threats were made against the authors, against the conference organizers, and against their respective employers."

"Litigation is costly, time-consuming, and uncertain, regardless of the merits of the other side's case. Ultimately we, the authors, reached a collective decision not to expose ourselves, our employers, and the conference organizers to litigation at this time."

"We remain committed to free speech and to the value of scientific debate to our country and the world..."

In a letter delivered Tuesday to the Chinese embassy in Washington, Shapiro noted "deep concern" about the detention in China of Li Shaomin, a demography scholar who received his Ph.D. in sociology from Princeton in 1988. Li, a U.S. citizen, is a member of the faculty at the City University of Hong Kong.

"Since he is an active researcher and scholar, there is great concern that his detention may be related to his academic activity, and thus could have a chilling effect on scholarly engagement between the United States and China," Shapiro wrote.

"Princeton is one of many universities where there has been much fruitful scholarly collaboration and student exchange with China in recent years," the letter continues. "As I am sure you appreciate, these activities depend on respect for the freedom of academic inquiry and the thoughtful pursuit of academic research."

Li was detained Feb. 25. In his letter, Shapiro said he hoped the matter "can be resolved as promptly as possible."

Prewitt joined the Census Bureau in 1998 and focused his attention on the operations of Census 2000, described by some as the largest peacetime mobilization in history. He had overall responsibility for ensuring that 275 million U.S. residents were correctly counted, and he made serious efforts to increase the level of census participation over previous years. He also fought for the use of statistical sampling to correct historical undercounts. This placed him at odds with most Republicans, who opposed the use of sampling.

Prewitt recently became dean of the graduate faculty at the New School University in New York. From 1979 to 1985 and from 1995 to 1998, he was president of the Social Science Research Council. He also served for 10 years as senior vice president of the Rockefeller Foundation, where he directed the international Science-Based Development Program involving activities in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Works by micro-engraver ZhongSen Chen of China and potter Akiko Collcutt of Hopewell, N.J., and from the Korean collection of Samuel Moffett will be shown.

The exhibit is being co-sponsored by the International Center, the East Asian Library and the East Asian Studies Program.

The exhibition includes more than 100 photographs, documents, and artifacts, drawn primarily from the Princeton University Archives. Together, they present a vivid portrait of graduate life at Princeton University, in both its intellectual and social aspects, as well as a cross-section of graduate students who have left an indelible mark on the world at large. The University's graduate alumni include no fewer than 12 Nobel laureates, the first president of South Korea, Syngman Rhee, five presidents of Princeton University, and such notables as Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Thornton Wilder, astronomer Henry Norris Russell, and syndicated columnist George Will.

Brief biographies of distinguished alumni are accompanied wherever possible by their student photographs and items that symbolize their interests: an autographed baseball from Ted Williams in the case of George Will; a piece of an Iraqi SCUD missile in the case of Norman Augustine, father of the Pentagon's Patriot missile program; and a first edition of The Bridge of San Luis Rey in the case of Thornton Wilder.

"A Community of Scholars" bears witness to the importance of graduate education at Princeton University and its role in human advancement in a wide range of disciplines, despite the challenges inherent in an exhibition of this kind. In the words of lead curator Dan Linke, "In the same way that nuclear physicists define and detect sub-atomic particles through inference and indirect observation, we hope that this exhibit will allow an understanding of graduate education, even though much of what is accomplished there remains within the confines of the mind, and the remainder as words on paper."

"A Community of Scholars" is located in Firestone Library's main exhibition gallery and is open to the public without charge from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, noon to 5 p.m. on weekends, and until 8 p.m. on Wednesdays. For additional information concerning the exhibition, please contact the Princeton University Library at (609) 258-6345.

Lipstadt, the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University, is the author of "Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory," the first full-length study of the phenomenon of Holocaust denial. As a result of that book, she was sued for libel in Britain by David Irving, a right wing extremist and self-proclaimed Hilter enthusiast. The trial, in which Lipstadt was vindicated after five years of litigation, was described by the Daily Telegraph as having "done for the new century what the Nuremberg tribunals or the Eichmann trial did for earlier generations."

Lipstadt, who was appointed by President Clinton to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, also has written "Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust." Her talk is the 23rd Carolyn Drucker '80 Memorial Lecture and is under the auspices of the Department of Near Eastern Studies.

Walk will come to the University this summer after eight years as a writing program administrator and prize-winning teacher at Harvard University, where she currently serves as assistant director of the Harvard Writing Project, an innovative writing-in-the-disciplines program. She helps departments develop second-level writing intensive courses, trains graduate student instructors, and writes and disseminates pedagogical materials.

Walk is also a senior preceptor in the Expository Writing Program, with duties that include recruiting, mentoring and training teachers in the program, developing curriculum, maintaining the program Web sites and teaching freshman writing. Prior to assuming her current responsibilities, she served as director of writing programs in Harvard's Division of Continuing Education.

"In orientations, retreats and workshops on the teaching of writing at Harvard and other institutions, Dr. Walk has helped hundreds of faculty rethink their course design by placing writing at the center of the enterprise and organizing readings around writing assignments," wrote Nancy Weiss Malkiel, dean of the college, in a recent memo to faculty and administrators.

Walk's book, "Commenting & Grading: A Guide for College Teachers," will be published this year.

Walk had her first experiences as a writing teacher and program coordinator at the University of California-Berkeley, where she earned her Ph.D. in English literature. She holds a B.A. from Wellesley College.

The new Princeton Writing Program, approved by the faculty in December, will allow freshmen to satisfy the University writing requirement by enrolling in seminars of 12 students. The program will offer nearly 100 topic-based writing seminars that will be taught by faculty members, administrators with appropriate academic credentials, post-enrolled graduate students, scholars on post-doctoral appointments and lecturers appointed to the faculty to teach full time in the writing program.

The initiative, called "ArtSTOR," is sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, whose president is former Princeton University President William G. Bowen. Rudenstine first will lead an advisory group and will assume the duties of chairman after leaving the Harvard presidency July 1.

"Having worked closely with Neil Rudenstine over more than 20 years at Princeton and at the Mellon Foundation, I know what an extraordinarily insightful and effective leader he is," Bowen said. "I believe that his knowledge of the humanities and of art history, his exceptional organizational skills, and his familiarity with leading scholars in the field qualify him superbly to guide the development of this new scholarly resource."
