Responding to a lawsuit filed
by William Robertson and other members of the Robertson family
in July 2002, the university joined President Tilghman and three
other university-appointed trustees of the Robertson Foundation
in filing a motion in New Jersey Superior Court today asking that
the lawsuit be dismissed. The filing argues that, under the law,
members of a foundation board of trustees are required to give the
board an opportunity to investigate and resolve potential problems
before turning to the courts. In this case, Robertson, one of three
family-appointed trustees on the seven-person board, made a number
of requests for additional information and changes in operating
procedures at the April 2002 annual board meeting and the board
responded by agreeing to attend to the requests. The university
was in the process of responding affirmatively to requests made
to it by the foundation's board when the lawsuit was filed in July.
How do you build a future from a horrific past?
This question is occupying the minds of five faculty members and
two alumni of the School of Architecture currently developing plans
for the World Trade Center site. The architects are on three
of the six teams selected by the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.
to conceptualize a new beginning for a significant portion of Lower
Manhattan, extending from the pit of Ground Zero. The teams have
just six to eight weeks from the October 11 start date to submit
their proposals. Among those involved in the project with associations
to Princeton's School of Architecture are faculty members Peter
Eisenman, Ben van Berkel, Caroline Bos, and Jesse R Kevin
Kennon *84 and Greg Lynn 88; and Dean Stan Allen.
New Jersey may be leading the nation in terms
of politics and policy yet may be dangerously close to setting the
tone as well for an apathetic political climate, several panelists
agreed during an election eve discussion, &As Goes New Jersey,
So Goes the Nation? A Conversation on the U.S. Senate Race in New
Jersey,& held November 4 at the Woodrow Wilson School.
&Apathy raises issues about the well being of our democracy,&
said panelist Thomas Byrne Jr. ’76, a former chair of the New
Jersey State Democratic Party. He insisted that New Jersey suffers
from a &triumph of apathy& as exemplified by tendencies
including: candidates' oversimplification of issues, voters' lack
of campaign volunteerism and an emphasis on raising money for certain
but not all campaigns. He said this apathy is reversing the vision
of our nation's founding fathers. Other panelists included Ingrid
Reed, director of the New Jersey Project for the Eagleton Institute
of Politics, Iver Peterson, a political reporter for the New
York Times, and panel moderator Douglas Arnold, the William
Church Osborn Professor of Public Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson

Business Wire reported that Popular Science
magazine debuted a new annual awards section in its November issue
that featured an elite group of young scientists “who are shaking
up their fields and whose work will touch all facets of life.”
Manjul Bhargava *01 made the list for his work in mathematics
and research associate Zoltan Haiman made it for his work in cosmology.
According to Business Wire: “Bhargava extended some work of
the legendary 19th-century German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss,
work that forms the basis of modern algebraic number theory. He
recently found a proof for the Fifteen Theorem that was not only
simpler than past proofs but that also expanded the result so that
it applied to the generation of any specific set of integers —
such as all the odd numbers.” And Haiman “is exploring
the first object to appear in the universe after its chaotic beginnings
in the big bang. He uses clues — what the universe looks like
now, the gases known to have been circulating after the big bang,
and the unchanging laws of physics — to model the objects that
would have formed when the universe was just a billion years old.”
Chang-Lin Tien *59, a former Princeton
trustee and former chancellor of the University of California-Berkeley,
died October 29 at age 67. Tien, who received a Ph.D. in mechanical
engineering from Princeton in 1959, served as a university trustee
from 1991 to 1995. Tien was appointed chancellor of Berkeley in
1990 and served in that post until 1997. He is credited with providing
critical leadership that maintained Berkeley's top-level status
in teaching and research at a time of severe budget cutbacks in
the University of California System. In 2000, Tien received Princeton's
James Madison Medal, given each year to an alumnus or alumna of
the Graduate School who has had a distinguished career, advanced
the cause of education or achieved an outstanding record of public

Football survives scare at Cornell to win
32-25 in OT
Princeton overcame a 25-10 fourth quarter deficit on a snowy Saturday,
November 2, in Ithaca to beat Cornell 32-25 in overtime.
Backup quarterback Matt Verbit ’05 won his first career start
for Princeton as he filled in for David Splithoff ’04, who
was nursing a separated shoulder he suffered in the loss to Harvard.
Verbit completed 20 of the 34 passes he threw with no interceptions
and a rushing touchdown. His lone touchdown pass came in the overtime
period, when he connected with Blair Morrison ’04 on an 11-yard
score that proved to be the game winner. Morrison, who was filling
in for an injured B.J. Szymanski ’05 caught a career-high eight
passes – all after halftime – for 107 yards.
Defensive end Joe Weiss ’04 led Princeton’s defense with
11 tackles and two sacks. He also had one of the game's biggest
plays when he tipped a pass with time running out in the fourth
quarter and the score tied at 25. Defensive back Jay McCareins ’05
intercepted the tipped ball and kept Cornell from attempting a field
Princeton (5-2, 3-1 Ivy) now faces Penn (6-1, 4-0) at home on Saturday,
November 9, with the Ivy League title still a three-team race. Harvard
(5-2, 4-0) is also in the mix as they take on Columbia. Penn has
won four straight in the series and Princeton has not beaten Penn
in New Jersey since 1992. Last year the Tigers led the Quakers,
10-7, late in the third quarter. But Penn scored twice in the fourth
for a 21-10 victory.
Women’s soccer clinches NCAA berth
with win over Cornell
Princeton’s women’s soccer team became the first team
in the country to earn a bid to the 2002 NCAA tournament with a
2-0 victory at Cornell on Saturday, November 2.
Maura Gallagher ’06 scored both goals in the final four minutes
of the first half to give Princeton its 13th win of the year –
one short of the team record set in 1980 and tied last year. The
win clinched at least a share of the Ivy League title for the Tigers.
Princeton would win the outright league championship should Dartmouth
have either a tie or loss against Penn in its final league game.
If there was a tie, the Tigers have already earned the Ivy League's
automatic bid to the NCAA tournament by virtue of a 4-1 win over
Dartmouth earlier in the season.
Princeton (13-2, 6-1) lost 1-0 in overtime to William & Mary
Wednesday, October 30. The loss dropped the team from 16 to 21 in
the national college poll. The Tigers finish their regular season
at home Saturday, November 9 against Colorado College.
Field hockey upsets No. 8 North Carolina in
Although it has not been the same dominant team that went to the
Final Four in 2001, Princeton’s field hockey showed why they
still have to be considered a threat for the national title after
upsetting eighth-ranked North Carolina on Sunday, November 3. The
4-2 win took the edge off a 3-2 loss to top-ranked Old Dominion
two days prior.
Against North Carolina, Natalie Martirosian ’05 scored twice
and Cory Picketts ’04 and Rachael Becker ’03 each scored
The win lifted Princeton (10-6) from 14 to 11 in the weekly national
college field hockey poll.
The Tigers have already clinched the Ivy League title and will close
the regular season at home on Friday, November, against Penn at
Tyler Wren ’03 defends his national Collegiate
Mountain Bike cross-country title
Princeton cycling’s Tyler Wren ’03 finished just three
seconds ahead of his closest competitor last month in the national
Collegiate Mountain Bike cross-country championships, but it was
enough to give him his second straight Division II title.
Wren completed the 11.5-mile course at the base of the Angel Fire
Ski Resort in New Mexico in just over 2 hours and 22 minutes. The
win gave him four national titles in the last two years. He is Princeton’s
first national cycling champion since the 1960s.
“I love the smooth single track here,” said Wren after
