Nan Wells, director of Princeton’s Office of Government Affairs in Washington, D.C., has announced that she will retire from the university in December but will remain as a senior consultant in government affairs until the end of 2003. Wells, who has worked at the university for 26 years, joined the Princeton staff in 1976 as associate director of the Office of Research and Project Administration and as federal-relations officer. She was named the founding director of the Office of Government Affairs when it was created in 1979 and then moved the office to Washington in 1981.

Ten sophomores were named Martin A. Dale ’53 summer award recipients. The grant of $3,000 provides each student to pursue a project they design themselves. "Kevin Murray will retrace the Trail of Tears. Ananya Lodaya will travel throughout England in search of literary landmarks. Laura Winn will paint on the streets of New York City," reported the Daily Princetonian. The other recipients are Frankie Ng, David Brundige, Willow Sainsbury, Alexandra Gliga, Tim Allen, Varanya Chaubey, and Daniel Iglesia.

The Nassau Weekly hosted a "Save the Nass" party at Terrace Club March 28 to raise money for paying off several thousand dollars worth of debt.

A discovery by Princeton scientists could lead to new ways to combat biofilms — tough coatings of bacteria that form on everything from teeth and prosthetic devices to the hulls of ships. Biologists Karen Otto and Thomas Silhavy found a mechanism bacteria use to sense when they have touched a solid surface, which sets into motion the process for building a film. Their study of E. coli identified a protein on the surface of the bacteria that initiates biofilm formation, plus a two-protein receptor system that receives and transmits the signal within the cell. A paper describing the results appeared in the February 5 online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The results suggest that disrupting this sensing mechanism may be an effective strategy for developers of drugs or other antibacterial agents aimed specifically at biofilms.

SPORTS

Women’s lacrosse wins seventh straight
Theresa Sherry ’04 and Kim Smith ’02 scored four goals each as Princeton beat Cornell 16-12 March 30 for its seventh straight win. The Tigers also walloped Columbia 17-1 on March 27 to open their Ivy season 2-0 while improving their overall record to 7-1. The team remains at #2 in the national rankings.
Sherry’s 26 points (20 goals, six assists) so far this season make her the leading scorer for Princeton and the Ivy League. On April 1, she was named the league’s top offensive player of the week for the second time this week. The Tigers host Delaware on April 3 at 7:30 p.m. and then host Yale on April 6 at 2 p.m.

Baseball sweeps four from Penn
The Tigers are on a six-game winning streak and improved to 8-11 this season after taking four games from Ivy League foe Penn this past weekend at home. On Friday, March 29, Princeton came from behind to win 5-4 in the first game of a doubleheader and took the second game 4-1. On Saturday, the Tigers used an early lead to win the opener 7-4, but had to come back to win the second game 8-4.
Princeton received strong pitching, including five scoreless innings from David Boehle ’03 in the Friday’s second game. At the plate, several Tigers contributed in the victories, including catcher Jon Miller ’03, who drove in three runs on two hits in the 4-1 win on Friday. Catcher Tim Lahey ’04 knocked on two runs on three hits, including a triple, in the 5-4 win. Shortstop Pat Boran ’02 went 3-for-6 and scored four runs in Saturday’s games.
The Tigers face Rider on April 3 at 3 p.m. before hosting two doubleheaders with Ivy rivals: Harvard on April 6, and Dartmouth on April 7. Both match-ups start at 11:30 a.m.

Softball improves to 12-12 with wins over Quakers
A two-run home run from shortstop Kim Veenstra ’02 and a four-hitter from pitcher Brie Galicinao ’02, who had pitched two straight no-hitters against the Quakers going into the game, led the Tigers to a 2-0 win against Penn in the first game of a doubleheader March 30. Princeton won the second game of their Ivy League opener 4-2 thanks to three runs batted in from Galicinao.
The Tigers, now 12-12 and 2-0 in the Ivies, travel to Villanova for a doubleheader on April 4 at 2:30 p.m.

Men’s lacrosse loses first Ivy game since 1995
The defending men’s lacrosse national champions fell two games short of an Ivy League record for consecutive conference wins when it lost 15-13 at home to Yale March 30. The loss was Princeton’s first to an Ivy foe in 37 games. Cornell set the record with 39 from 1972-79.

The Tigers bounced back with an 18-4 win over Penn on April 2.

The loss dropped Princeton out of the top ten in the national lacrosse poll for the first time since 1990. The Tigers could still earn a share of the Ivy title if they win their five remaining league games. B.J. Prager ’02 moved from 11th to sixth all-time in goals scored at Princeton with six last week in the win against Rutgers and the Yale loss. With 98 goals for his career, Prager is now five away from Josh Sims ’00 for fifth all-time.

Princeton rugby clubs host regional tournament
The men’s and women’s rugby clubs each lost hard-fought semifinal matches against the Naval Academy March 30 at the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union’s Collegiate championships held on campus. The two-day tourney brought 24 teams to Princeton to play for a chance at the national collegiate championship.
The women’s team took on Navy first on Saturday. Princeton, which won the national championship in 1996 and 1997 along with appearances in the last three Final Fours, took the Navy team into three overtimes with some quality ball control against its physically larger opponents. Although they fell behind twice in the overtime periods and they lost key players to injuries, the Tigers fought to a 17-17 tie after two extra periods before falling 22-17.
A battered and bruised Princeton women’s squad lost 18-7 to Virginia in the third-place game on Sunday. Navy lost 70-0 to Penn State in the finals on Sunday.
The men’s team faced a Navy unit that had scored 100 points in their prior game but held the Naval Academy to just 11 points in the first half before falling 31-13. The Tigers came as close as 11-10 early in the second half but were eventually worn down by the rugby powerhouse.
"We gave them a big time scare, though, and really turned a lot of heads," said men’s coach Tom MacFarlane ’88. Princeton dropped the third-place game 18-15 to Virginia Tech.

Avery Kiser ’05 wins title at women’s golf tourney
Freshmen Avery Kiser and Meg Nakamura carried the women’s golf team to a second place finish at the 2002 William & Mary Invitational last weekend by placing first and second, respectively, among all team players.
Kiser finished the two-round tourney with a 148, just one stroke ahead of Nakamura’s 149. Esty Dwek ’04’s 153 also put her in the top 10. The team finished with a score of 615, two shots back of the winner, James Madison.

Men’s volleyball spikes Juniata, Rutgers-Newark
The Tigers handed out two poundings last week, beating Juniata 3-0 at home and handing Rutgers-Newark a 3-0 thrashing on the road. Freshman Blake Robinson hammered 13 kills in the win over Juniata. The Tigers are now 11-10 and face Concordia in New York April 3. Princeton plays its final two regular season games on April 11 at NJIT and on April 13 at home against Penn State.

Ten Tigers earn winter All-Ivy Academic honors
Men’s basketball players Ahmed El-Nokali ’02 (economics) and Kyle Wente ’03 (economics), women’s hockey player Aviva Grumet-Morris ’02 (history), and All-America wrestler Greg Parker ’03 (computer science) were among the 10 Princeton athletes named to the winter sports’ All-Ivy Academic team.
The others: Swimmer Garth Fealey ’03 (economics); squash’s David Yik ’03 (English) and Courtenay Green ’02 (anthropology); fencer Lindsay Campbell ’02 (Woodrow Wilson School); track and field’s Catherine Casey ’02 (sociology); fencer Mary Dunlop ’02 (mechanical engineering).
