Anthony Scaturro
has been named university information technology security officer in Princeton's Office of Information Technology. His appointment is effective November. 1.
Scaturro will be responsible for overall technical policy direction on university information technology security issues. Working with the offices of public safety and general counsel, he will consult with university groups that have specific security concerns and coordinate with departments inside and outside the Office of Information Technology that have responsibility for the infrastructure needed to support the university's overall information technology goals.

Before we can achieve visionary goals such as sending manned missions to Mars or to other solar systems, we must first overcome some practical limitations, according to Sean O'Keefe, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration who spoke about the future of NASA on campus October 25. Primarily, he said, NASA needs to improve the speed of its propulsion systems and to find ways to minimize the negative effects of extended space travel on human beings.

Facing a society that was suspicious of innovations in math and science, scholars in early modern Europe resorted to illusion and magic to introduce legitimate new technologies, according to Anthony Grafton, renowned scholar of the Renaissance period and the Henry Putnam University Professor of History. His presentation entitled "Technica Curiosa: Technology and Magic in Early Modern Europe," was part of the Presidential Lecture Series. In the 16th and 17th centuries, scholars would use optical devices and created fantastical automatons that resembled human or animal forms to tap into people's fascination with the unknown. At the same time, these devices tested real theories and helped legitimize the concepts of math and science. "'Mathematical magic' is a world of replicable wonders," Grafton said.

Joyce Carol Oates
, the Roger Berlind '52 Professor in the Humanities, has won the 2002 Carl Sandburg Literary Award, administered by the Chicago Public Library Foundation, for lifetime achievement. A prolific author, Oates has written novels, poetry, drama, and literary criticism.

The Princeton area's Women in Black, a branch of the international movement that holds silent vigils in opposition to war and violent acts against humanity meets each Wednesday evening for a half hour outside FitzRandolph Gate, reported the Daily Princetonian. Roughly 20 women, including graduate students and local residents, gather for silent protest.

ALUMNI

Director of Central Intelligence George J. Tenet wore in Scott Muller ’71 on October 23 as the CIA’s general counsel. He will oversee the CIA’s legal affairs and serve as Tenet’s top legal adviser.

A professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Charles F. Gammie *92 is among 60 researchers who have received the 2001 Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the government on young professionals pursuing independent research. Gammie plans to use his award to carry out a research program that focuses on building numerical models of how plasma flows around black holes.

William Lewis Beale Jr ’27, the chief of the Associated Press Washington bureau from 1948 to 1969, died on October 27 at a nursing home in Bethesda, Maryland. He was 97, reported the Washington Post. Beale “was known for his composed demeanor and sound judgment about political news” reported the Post.

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, bus boycott of 1953 has become a footnote in American civil rights history, but Marc Sternberg ’95 is trying to change that.
Sternberg, a Baton Rouge native who wrote his thesis on the boycott, is organizing a conference to mark the anniversary of the weeklong bus boycott that served as a precursor and model for the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott two years later. The conference issued a formal call for papers to the academic community in September, seeking contributions from scholars who can help place the Baton Rouge boycott in the proper perspective. The scholars will present their works in speeches and panels beginning June 19, 2003.

Brooklyn College has received the largest bequest in its history, $6.5 million, from the estate of Walter Cerf *41, a professor of philosophy at the college from 1948 to 1972. Cerf died last year. Cerf left more than $6 million to Princeton, which 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.

Ann Florini *83, who focuses on transparency in a range of policy areas, has joined the Brookings Institution. She will be affiliated with the Governance Studies program as a senior fellow and director of the Project on New Approaches to Global Governance.
At Brookings, Florini will continue her research on global governance and transnational cooperation. Prior to joining Brookings, she was a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace from 1997-2002, and held positions at the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, UCLA, and the United Nations Association of the USA. Florini received her MPA in public affairs from the Woodrow Wilson School.

Two alumni win MacArthur grants: Ann Blair *90, a professor of history at Harvard, and Charles Steidel ’84, a professor of astronomy at the California Institute of Technology.

Ivy championship hopes slim as football falls to Harvard

With the Ivy title on the line, Princeton dropped a 24-17 decision to Harvard in front of 15,015 fans on Saturday, October 26. It was the Tigers' seventh straight loss to the Crimson, and it snapped Princeton’s four-game win streak.
Five turnovers – two fumbles and three interceptions – did the most damage to the Tigers, who also saw their starting quarterback David Splithoff ’04 leave the game in the second half with a separated shoulder. Backup quarterback Matt Verbit ’05 stepped in and scored on his second drive, an eight-play drive that ended with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Chisom Opara ’03. The touchdown cut a 24-7 Harvard lead to just seven points. But Verbit threw an interception on the Tigers' final drive to snuff the comeback.
