Alumni Schools Committee Welcomes Seven New Members
PCOSA Alumni Schools Committee former chairman Ted Taubeneck '48
stepped down due to a conflict of interest: his grandson is applying
to Princeton! Lindianne agreed to chair our ASC committee for this
year. Anita Harris, who operates the Alumni Contact Program of the
National Schools Committee, called to explain e-mail broadcasts whereby
ASC chairs and regional club officers can easily communicate with club
members. This year, Princeton is using the "common application" with
other universities, and Admissions is expecting 10% higher volume of
applicants. Therefore, to maintain our excellent record of
interviewing 100% of our regional applicants to Princeton, we need more
interviewers. Lindianne reports:
"I logged in to Tigernet. Following instructions from Anita Harris, I
constructed and broadcasted an e-mail announcing that our regional
Alumni Schools Committee needs more interviewers. PCOSAns Marv Slepian
'77, David Spiro '80, Dave Reiley '91, Laura Hollengreen '84, Bill
Markus '47, Ron Morgan '63, and Susan Humphreys *79 responded.
Kathleen Bader '04 joined ASC by telephone. Added to ASC members Terry
Cast '76, Ken Folsom '43, Fred Frelinghuysen '75, Hugh Miller '79,
Gerry Goldberg '73, Gary Hammond '61, Joel Nixon '50, Ned White '53,
and Matt Rubach '02, we have an excellent Schools Committee for the
'04-'05 academic year. Many thanks to you who serve in this unique
and enjoyable way!"

Volunteer Leadership Assembly at Princeton
Princeton class, regional association and other alumni volunteers will
be returning to Princeton October 21-23 for a special gathering of
alumni leaders (the weekend of the Princeton vs. Harvard football
game). PCOSA is pioneering the idea of sending a three generation team
to this assembly. At the assembly volunteers will share ideas on
traditional and innovative forms of community service. (For example,
if PCOSAns wish, PCOSA may adopt a public high school here in Tucson
and initiate a program of mentoring students, on a model established by
the Princeton Club of Chicago.)
More information will soon be available about the leadership assembly.
We are establishing a special fund to enable recent/elder alumni to
attend this special assembly. Thanks to those of you who have already
pledged to contribute to this fund.
Three Generation Team at College Fair
A three generation team will be covering the huge College Fair
sponsored by TUSD at the Tucson Convention Center, Tucson College
Night, on Thursday, October 21. Last year 3000 students and parents
attended Tucson College Night. Thanks to Matt Rubach '02, Ken Folsom
'43 and Terry Cast '76 three generations of experience, wisdom and
up-to-date knowledge of Princeton will be on hand to represent
Princeton! Ned White '53 will cover St. Gregory's College Fair earlier
that same day. Thanks to our college fair volunteers, who will reflect
the face of Princeton for high school students in our region.
PCOSA Mainstays Hugh and Naomi Miller . . .
are leaving Tucson for the wilds of Western Massachusetts. Their
enthusiasm for Princeton, their gracious holiday parties, Naomi's
excellent piano music, and their lovely family will be sorely missed.
Naomi accepted an excellent job offer from Smith College, a senior
cabinet level appointment as Director of Institutional Diversity and
Assistant to the President, and a full professor appointment in English
& Women's Studies.
