"WARS ARE NOT HEALTHY": Close to 100 Princeton High School students gathered on the front lawn last Wednesday to protest the policies of the Bush administration on the anniversary of the president's re-election. The walk-out was part of a nationwide movement organized by "World Can't Wait." Students paraded in a circle chanting expressions like "Bush Out Now." Following the hour-long protest a handful of students continued protesting by taking a train to New York City, where approximately 3,000 people gathered in Union Square. For story, see other news.

Matthew Hersh

Princeton Borough Council President Mildred Trotman, who has presided over the municipal governing body since the death of Mayor Joseph O'Neill last month, is expected to be officially sworn in as mayor by the five other members of Council tonight at Borough Hall. If appointed to fill a one-year term, Ms. Trotman will become only the second female mayor of the Borough and the first black mayor in the town's history. The Borough's first female mayor was Barbara Sigmund, who served from 1984 until her death in 1990.
