While your chicken parm hoagie, mozzarella sticks or two scoop ice cream sundae may be tempting, Princeton health officials would rather you gave it some more thought.As part of Lighten Up Princeton, sponsored by the Princeton Regional Health Commission, local restaurants will advertise their healthier dining options and residents can learn how to live healthier and lose weight.If the program is successful, by the end of three months Borough and Township residents will have lost a collective 30,000 pounds ? or 15 tons ? of weight, said Bill Hinshillwood, health board officer.That's about the weight of the 75 full grown tigers."If everybody in Princeton lost a pound it would be 30,000," he said.

The search to replace the "YES!" man has begun.The University will announce today that it has formed a 14-member committee to find a new admission dean to replace Fred Hargadon.Hargadon, one of the country's most esteemed admission deans, said in August he would retire in June 2003 after serving here since 1988."Hargadon has been a towering figure in the field of college and university admissions with a reputation for insisting on the highest possible standards," President Tilghman said in August.But he was surrounded by controversy this summer when it was reported that his associate dean, Stephen LeMenager, was the first of several admission staff to breach online records of Yale University applicants.LeMenager, who was promoted to associate dean in September 2001, has since left admissions for the communications office.The new dean of admission will face the difficult task of choosing a balanced freshman class of 1,160 out of 14,500 applicants and accommodating the 500-student increase approved in 2000.The new dean will also have to confront concerns about early decision programs, standardized testing and athletics ? all of which have recently been contentious issues in admission policies.The search committee includes six professors, three students and five administrators, including the chair, Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel.They will begin meeting and soliciting applications and nominations in early November and expect to begin reviewing candidates in January.After narrowing the field, they will submit two or three names to Tilghman.

In many ways, the world has changed since the Sept. 11 attacks, but issues of nuclear proliferation and security continue to figure prominently in national debates, such as whether to take action on Iraq.Frank von Hippel, co-director of the Wilson School Program on Science and Global Security, said that he continues to see a nuclear terror attack as a real danger."There's a lot of highly enriched uranium in the world and some of it is not very well secured," said von Hippel, also a former assistant director for national security in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy."Nobody above my level in the White House . . . really worried about [the nuclear security] problem," he said, suggesting that terrorists might be able to acquire these materials if they are not better secured.He added that the Bush administration initially proposed cuts for nuclear security programs but did not follow up on the plan.Von Hippel also suggested that nuclear security was important in preventing the progress of the Iraqi nuclear program."If [enriched uranium] is available on the black market . . . then within a year or two after getting enough material for a weapon, [the Iraqis] could have a nuclear weapon," he said.He cautioned that the problem is not limited to Iraq.
