In the midst of Princeton's multi-million-dollar construction campaign to change the face of the University, an architecture firm has been hired to give campus landscaping a retro twist.Quennell Rothschild & Partners - a New York-based landscape architecture firm - is coordinating a series of exterior renovation projects that will take place during the next several years.The firm is designing and renovating building exteriors and landscaping several areas of campus, using photos and information from the University archives as guides.According to Peter Rothschild, one of the architects working on the project, the renovations involve several sites on campus, including Hamilton Courtyard, the grounds surrounding Whig, Clio and Murray Dodge, the landscaping near Alexander Hall and Cannon Green.Under the firm's guidance, walkways will be repaved, overgrown trees and other plants will be removed and new vegetation will be planted.Rothschild's firm will also be involved in designing the landscaping for the areas near the sixth residential college and the genomics center - both of which are slated to be constructed within the next few years.Rothschild said it is common practice for landscape architects to research the history of buildings when planning renovation.

Beginning next fall, the University will host a new program ? titled "Interfaces in Science" ? to train physical and mathematical science graduate students in the interdisciplinary field of biological research.The program ? which will involve 10 graduate or postdoctoral students at one time ? will be funded for its first five years by a $2.5-million grant from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, a foundation dedicated to advancing medical research.The program's main goal will be to educate students who exhibit impressive quantitative skills on how to put those skills to use in biology.According to program co-director John Hopfield, a University molecular biology professor, it is often difficult for students who have majored in more quantitative fields ? such as applied math or physics ? to enter into research as biological scientists."Often there is too big an entry barrier into the biology field," said Hopfield, whose original training was in physics.

Wrapping up an election far more expeditiously than their southern neighbors, Canadians on Monday gave Prime Minister Jean Chretien's Liberal Party of Canada its third straight majority, sending Chretien to another term in the nation's highest office.The Liberal party will retain its majority in the Canadian House of Commons with 173 of 301 seats.Chretien, who has served in the nation's highest post since 1993, will be only the third Canadian prime minister to serve a third term in the nation's 133-year history.The current prime minister's victory came despite recent allegations about his questionable involvement in a bank loan scandal and concerns that he would step down if elected for another five-year term.The Liberals were distantly followed by the Canadian Alliance with 66 seats, the Bloc Quebecois with 37, the New Democratic Party with 13 and the Progressive Conservative party with 12.The Green Party of Canada, one of the more prominent minor parties in this election, failed to land any seats in parliament.Canadian political pundits say the Canadian Alliance was unable to oust the incumbent Liberals because of the Alliance's failure to gain support in Ontario, a Liberal stronghold and the province where the majority of Canadian voters reside.Liberals secured 100 of Ontario's 103 seats.The party was not so successful in Quebec, however.
