The election deadlock between Republican candidate George W. Bush and Democratic candidate Al Gore has affected more than just American students at Princeton.Even though international students ? who make up roughly 5 percent of the student body ? could not vote in this month's elections, many say they still have a paramount interest in who wins.Rebecca Simson '04, who is from Sweden, said that despite the current deadlock, the eventual winner will play an important role in shaping America's international image."I see the American president's role first and foremost from an international perspective, and from this perspective the presidential candidate and the values he [or] she stands for is extremely influential in world politics," she said in an e-mail.Also at stake is what the eventual president might do for some international students' native countries.Tim Allen '04, who lives in South Africa, said in an e-mail, "I was hoping Al Gore would win, as he has far better policy with regard to South Africa, having been there a number of times, and knowing our president as he does."Others expressed concern that the unresolved election has disrupted Wall Street and financial markets in other countries.Thais Melo '04, who is from Brazil, decried the legal battles raging in Florida.
November 22, 1966 ? Clinch H. Belser Jr. '67 and Stephen A. Oxman '67 last night explained their positions on Bicker and the proposal of the Bicker Study Committee before an assembly of about 300 sophomores in Alexander Hall.Oxman, chairman of the Undergraduate Council, stressed the need for the proposal to gain the support of "a sizable number of the sophomores." He noted that the "clubs on Prospect Street are extremely interested in the sophomore response to the proposal" and that if a significant number of sophomores favor the proposal, the graduate boards might be more responsive to calls for its adoption from the club members themselves.Belser, this year's Interclub Committee chairman, countered by stating that the sophomores still really have no objective basis to judge Bicker because "you haven't been through the process yet." He added that discussion of changes in Bicker could best be carried out after Bicker, because at that time "three-fourths of the student body has been through Bicker, not just one-half."Oxman further noted that he hoped that seven or eight clubs would adopt the proposal.
Springdale Golf Course officials are planning to relocate the clubhouse and redesign parts of the golf course following a meeting with University officials, Club Manager Donna Dilorenzo said yesterday.University trustees have identified the location of some of these course renovations as one of three possible construction sites for the sixth residential college.The other sites include the area south of Dillon Gym and the area north of McCarter Theater.Trustees and University officials are hoping to begin construction on the new college within the next few years to provide housing for the 500-student increase outlined in the Wythes proposal, which was approved last April.University Vice President and Secretary Thomas Wright '62 said yesterday he was aware University administrators had met with country club officials to discuss possible renovations, but said the construction was not necessarily proposed to provide space for a new residential college."I believe this discussion of construction in the area north of Forbes has led Springdale to determine that they should relocate the clubhouse and several holes," Wright said.
