Musicians come home
By Caroline MoseleyNew Woolworth Center will provide 75 percent more space for Music Department
Music is Princeton's most peripatetic department -- a distinction it will joyfully relinquish when it moves back into the greatly expanded Woolworth Center of Musical Studies currently under construction. "Since Woolworth was constructed in 1963," says department chair Paul Lansky, professor of music, "the Music Department has existed in several places on campus. The music library, musicology seminars and some faculty offices were in Firestone Library; the sound library, practice rooms, and other faculty and administrative offices were in Woolworth."

During a panel discussion last month on the balanced budget amendment, Zimmer's vigorous advocacy for the amendment was being refuted by former N.J. Gov. Jim Florio and dismissed by Alan Blinder, Rentschler Memorial Professor of Economics, as an idea that "flunks Economics 101." Even David Bradford, professor of economics and public affairs, said he could not endorse the balanced budget amendment, despite his otherwise conservative views.
