Camacho speaks on Mexican politics
Manuel Camacho will give a lecture entitled "Party
Politics in Mexico: Forming a New Political Movement" at
4:30 p.m. on October 20 in Dodds Auditorium,
Robertson Hall. Camacho, founder of the Democratic Center
Party in 1997, was formerly an active member of the
Institutional Revolutionary Party, Mexico's governing party.
His new party aims to link democratically oriented
professionals to grassroots organizations of citizens and
young people in an effort to establish a balance of power
and accountability in Mexican politics.
Between 1982 and 1994, Camacho served as
secretary of foreign relations, mayor of Mexico City, peace
commissioner to Chiapas, and secretary of urban development
and the environment. A 1972 graduate of the Woodrow Wilson
School's MPA program, he taught and was a researcher at El
Colegio de Mexico for six years.
Camacho's lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow
Wilson School and the Program in Latin American Studies.

Members of the University Orchestra in
London: John Starapoli '98 (standing, l), Patrick Truxes

University Orchestra begins season
"There were hints from the outset last night that the
Americans were rather more than merely another good student
orchestra. It showed in little touchessensitive response,
expressive pauses, uplifts into phrases above all, it showed
in the terrific attack, the alert rhythms and dynamics, and
the fiercely committed, driving performance which they gave
incisive and as grippingly articulate as you might hope
for."
Thus the Glasgow Herald reviewed a June
performance by the University Orchestra. Glasgow was one
stop on the orchestra's summer tour, which also included
Edinburgh; London; Durham, England; and Carmarthen, Wales.
"The tour was financed by the 63 students who went," said
conductor Michael Pratt, "as well as the Program in Musical
Performance, and numerous generous donors, including
alumni."
This fall, the orchestra "stands at 100
strong, including the largest freshmen contingent ever,"
Pratt notes. "Its membership is a cross-section of
disciplines at Princeton, from music majors to engineers to
pre-med."
The opening concert of the year includes "Four
Sea Interludes" from Peter Grimes by Benjamin Britten, the
preludes to acts I and III and the "Love-death" from Tristan
and Isolde by Wagner, and Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 in E
Minor, "From the New World." It will take place at 8:00 p.m.
on October 22 and October 24 in Richardson
Auditorium.
