Student Cotsen Players present performances based on children's literature
Gumshoe, loyal secretary and femme fatale: all the
elements of '40s-style crime drama are here in The
Fairy-land Detective Agency -- but with a
difference.
The play is the first production of
a new student theater troupe, the Cotsen Players, formed to
present plays based on or inspired by children's
literature.
Much of the dramatic action takes
place in the Three Bears Bistro, offering a selection of
cold, warm and seriously hot porridge. [>>more]
What Is Alumni Council?

"There are people on campus who don't know what we do;
I want to change that"
I see our office as the
linchpin in the relationship between the University and its
alumni," says Kathy Taylor, director of the Alumni
Council.
"We represent alumni needs and
concerns to the University, and vice versa. Our
responsibility extends equally in both directions."
By "the University," Taylor means
"all departments, administrative and academic." Hence, she
has spent a good deal of time since her appointment last
October "forging connections," she says. "I want to
communicate and coordinate with every department on campus.

where they don't, initiate them. [>>more]

Biologist seeks to "turn deep philosophical questions
into testable hypotheses"
When Princeton scientists
announced last month that they had created a kind of
computer from RNA, the idea had the ring of something
radically new.
Here was a test tube full of the
squiggly little molecules that put our genes into action,

But, as project leader Laura
Landweber points out, she was just taking a cue from
something nature already accomplished billions of years ago.

Under wraps
A two-year restoration project
on the University Chapel, which began this semester, will
involve repointing and repairing the stonework and masonry
and releading the stained glass windows. As Dean of the
Chapel Joseph Williamson notes, "This will require some
adjustment on the part of those who use the chapel. However,
Catholic Mass will continue to be celebrated at noon during
the week, and weddings, worship services and special
concerts will be held on Saturdays and Sundays." (Photo by
