Molecular biology professor Bonnie Bassler was awarded a so-called "genius grant" last week by the MacArthur Foundation. She will receive a no-strings-attached $500,000 over the next five years. Bassler studies bacteria. For a 2000 PAW story on Bassler, click here.

David Botstein, a renowned genetics and a professor at Stanford, will become director of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics next July, the university announced. He told the Daily Princetonian that he plans on establishing teaching and research programs. The institute will be located in the new Carl Icahn ’57 Laboratory, which is scheduled to open in November.

Last week the Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding, formerly known as the Third World Center, was dedicated. Located on the corner of Prospect Avenue and Olden Street, the center is named after Fields, an African-American who joined the university administration in the 1960s.

A report recommending changes that Princeton should consider as it implements a plan to strengthen and expand the university's residential college system was presented to the Board of Trustees September 20. The report proposes modifications in advising/staffing, programming, housing, and dining to convert the university's current system of five two-year colleges into a system of paired two- and four-year colleges that will, in the words of the report, "create more interaction for first- and second-year students with upper-class students, graduate students, and faculty."

Last Thursday student musical performers and members of campus religious groups shared prayers and songs on the lawn of the Frist Campus Center at the first annual Festival of Faiths. Josephine Decker '03, the mastermind behind the event, and Sean Cameron '05, of the Muslim Students Association, emceed the event.

Princeton is among a group of research institutions that NASA has selected to develop new generations of materials that could revolutionize civil aviation and space travel. The Institute for Biologically Inspired Materials will conduct basic research and technology development and initiate an education and training program in collaboration with the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The participants are scheduled to gather for an initial workshop and planning session September 25 on the Princeton campus.

The Cotsen Children’s Library will reopen October 19, after having undergone renovations to make it more conducive to repeat visitors. Architect James Bradberry transformed the library into a space that he hopes makes kids feel that they have "literally gotten into a story," with give-foot animal topiaries, benches that look like hedges, and a 17-foot bonsai tree made of plywood, foam, and fiberglass.

The director of health services, Daniel Silverman, has emailed students to encourage them to take an online course about the dangers of alcohol consumption, reported the Daily Princetonian. The university will give students who complete the course free movie passes to the Garden Theatre.

The Frederick H. Schultz Professor of Economic Policy and Lecturer of Public and International Affairs Frederick D. Barton, formerly one of the highest-ranking Americans at the U.N., has been named a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, reported U.P.I. He will "focus on expanding multilateral partnerships with international organizations, civil society and key governments, especially the U.N. and its relevant agencies," reported U.P.I.

Gridiron déjà vu as Tigers squander 17-point lead at Lehigh
As Princeton coach Roger Hughes said after Princeton’s season opener on Saturday, September 21, at Lehigh, “win or lose, one game does not make or break a season.”

At least that’s what the Tigers are hoping after they lost 31-24 at Lehigh despite owning a 17-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. A 12-yard touchdown pass to Lehigh’s fullback with 13 seconds on the clock gave the Mountain Hawks their only lead of the game and the victory.

It was the seventh loss during Hughes’s 20-game career at Old Nassau in which the Tigers lost by a touchdown or less. Hughes is now 6-14 and 0-3 in season openers.

In the first half the Tigers shoved the third-ranked team in Division 1AA all over the field and looked like they were on their way to one of the bigger upsets in recent program history. David Splithoff ’04’s touchdown passes to Chisom Opara ’03 and B.J. Szymanski ’05, who had his biggest game ever as a Tiger with 7 catches for 111 yards, and a scoring run from Branden Benson ’05 after a 66-yard bomb to Szymanski put Lehigh on its heels early. Princeton went into the locker room at halftime with a 24-7 lead having churned out 302 yards of offense in 30 minutes.

But after a scoreless third quarter, Princeton began making the mistakes that had cost them games in the past. Penalties and turnovers let Lehigh get back into the game and hold onto its 26-game unbeaten streak — the longest current run in all of Division IA and IAA.

Princeton (0-1) is under the lights this weekend as it faces Lafayette (2-1) at 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 28. Lafayette lost 52-21 to Penn this past weekend.

Field hockey awaits top-ranked Maryland after 9-1 win over Dartmouth
Natalie Martirosian ’05 and Ashley Sennett ’06 each scored three goals as Princeton spanked Dartmouth 9-1 at home on Saturday, September 21. After a season-opening loss, the Tigers now improve to 3-1 on the season while Dartmouth falls to 1-2.

Now ranked 15th in the country after moving up two spots in the national coaches’ poll this week, Princeton hosts No.1 Maryland on Friday, September 27, at 7 p.m. Maryland was the runner-up in the NCAA championships in 2001, losing to Michigan in the final. Princeton lost to Michigan in the semifinal.

Women’s soccer remains undefeated with 4-1 win over Dartmouth
Freshmen Esmeralda Negron, Emily Behncke, and Kristina Fontanez all scored goals on Saturday as the Tigers beat Dartmouth 4-1 at home. Princeton, who also got a goal from last year’s freshman phenom Theresa Sherry ’05, is undefeated at 4-0 overall, and 2-0 in the Ivy League.

Hockey teams not highly regarded in preseason polls
Princeton’s men’s hockey team was picked to finish 11 out of the 12 ECAC teams in the preseason coaches’ poll released September 24. In the preseason media poll, the Tigers were picked to finish 10th. Cornell topped both lists with Harvard and Clarkson following at 2 and 3, respectively, in both polls.

The women’s team fared better placing fifth in the ECAC coaches’preseason poll. Harvard and Dartmouth topped that list.

Both teams open their seasons with scrimmages at the end of October. The men face the U.S. under-18 National Team at home on October 26 and the women travel to Yale on October 27.
