It felt like one of those interminable lines in Disney World where you wait for an hour outside and then move slowly through a dimly lit passageway for another hour until you finally reach the attraction.But instead of licking ice cream cones, the people leaving the ride are smoking cigarettes.The dimly lit passage is filled with banners marked with names of different beers instead of TV screens with Christopher Lloyd preparing you for your ride back to the future.And you arrive at an audition that might let you experience the "real world," instead of reaching a boat that will carry you past singing dolls in a small world of fantasy.The real world?

Attempts to conceal the identity of musicians auditioning for spots in orchestras can significantly increase the rate of success for women, according to a study co-authored by Wilson school professor Cecilia Rouse.Rouse and Claudia Goldin ? a professor of economics at Harvard University and one of Rouse's former thesis advisers ? co-produced the study, which was published in the September-November issue of The American Economic Review.The country's top orchestras have long been thought to discriminate against women in hiring, and in the past many renowned conductors have even asserted that women are unsuitable to play in orchestras, according to Rouse."It is hard to say why, but I can say that there were many orchestral leaders on record for saying that they would not hire women," Goldin said.Director of the University Orchestra Michael Pratt said he has not witnessed this sort of discrimination during his time at the University."I have always been amazed that there would be any conductor a fool enough to reject a candidate because she is a woman," he said.In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there was a "democratization of the hiring process," according to Goldin.

Throughout his lifetime, near eastern studies professor emeritus Charles Issawi's colorful pursuits and passions made him the portrait of a true Renaissance man.By the age of five, Issawi spoke three languages ? English, French and Arabic ? and devoured English literature at his boarding school in Alexandria, Egypt.Later in his life, Issawi memorized entire pages of Shakespearean plays and romantic poetry and recited his favorite verses aloud during long walks in New York, where he taught economics at Columbia University.Even after retiring from Princeton ? where he taught from 1975 to 1986 ? the talented researcher of Middle Eastern economics and history published seven books, including his 1999 autobiography "Growing up Different: Memoirs of a Middle East Scholar.""He was a man of wide culture and civilization," said near eastern studies professor Abraham Udovitch, who served as the department's chair during Issawi's Princeton career."He was imbued with his own culture and devoted to it, but he didn't find any contradiction between that and being a man of the world," Udovitch said.Issawi ? born in Egypt to parents of Lebanese, Syrian and Greek ancestry ? died Dec.
