Developed by the Committee on Undergraduate Residential Life (CURL). Princeton's residential college system went through many rough drafts before construction finally began last year on five underclass "complexes"--Butler. Madison, Mathey, Rockefeller, and Wilson--each of which provides an assortment of recreation or t.v. common rooms. The five colleges were formed around clusters of existing dorms which have a dining hall centrally located. The system will eventually house all freshmen and sophomores, but only the freshman class was initiated into the program last fall. Dean of Student Affairs Andy Brown said he thought the CURL plan had been implemented...
...they do not fill their quota of members. "The open clubs have the hardest time because they are susceptible to last minute "pull-outs," and get greater variance than the selective clubs," said Wister Wood, president of Cap and Gown, a co-ed selective club. At one point in CURL's development, the college extended an open invitation to the eating clubs to become financially supported by the university. "Essentially, they wanted to buy the clubs out, which would put them in power," said Wood. But the clubs spurned the administration's helping hand and chose to remain autonomous...
Even though the CURL plan has thrown a wrench into the administrative cogwheel at Princeton, most students were unfazed by the changes and went on about their business. Campus-wide issues at Princeton don't attract the excitement and fury they do at Harvard. This year has been especially quiet and was termed "depoliticized" by one frustrated activist and "almost dull" by Andy Brown, who graduated from Princeton' at the height of student turbulence in the 1960s. "It's a little discouraging, actually, that this year has been so quiet," said Brown...
...York Philharmonic. The problem child among orchestras, the Philharmonic is like the little girl with the curl. Plagued by a reputation as a temperamental aggregation, it sometimes lives up to it, as it did last year on the occasion of its 10,000th concert when it delivered a ragged account of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony. Yet under Music Director Zubin Mehta, 46, it can also deliver a blistering performance of something as difficult as Schoenberg's expressionist opera Erwartung, as it did recently with Soprano Hildegarde Behrens. Among other distinctions, the Philharmonic is the most unpredictable orchestra...
...Caravaggio's shadow-theater and, through Salvator Rosa, the world of 19th century romanticism. It shows a young man in half-armor lying stiff and composed on the floor of a cave (some mountain charnel-house, perhaps) surrounded by rainy twilight and the glimmer of bones, with a curl of smoke still issuing from an extinguished votive lamp. A vanitas? A more personal lamentation? Impossible to say; yet there is more real feeling in this restrained image than in many a square yard of post-Caravaggian bombast...
