Labyrinth bookstore to open in Princeton as Micawber closes
Labyrinth Books, one of the nation’s leading scholarly bookstores, will open a store in Princeton in the fall of 2007 in the Nassau Street property currently occupied by Foot Locker, and the Princeton University Store will open a satellite apparel and insignia store on Nassau Street in space currently occupied by The Children’s Place and Micawber Books. These moves follow a decision by the owners of Micawber Books to sell their business to the University after 25 years serving the Princeton community.
Branker hits high note in leading jazz program
Anthony D.J. Branker, director of Princeton’s jazz program, spent the fall 2005 semester helping the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre develop its jazz studies curriculum. For Branker, a 1980 Princeton graduate, the challenge hearkened back to his own return to campus in 1989.

Clothing drive, other outreach planned
