Better than sliced bread
In early December, Witherspoon Bread Company's master baker, Denis Granarolo, taught students how to make ciabatta and foccaccia bread, baguettes, and croissants at two bread-making workshops sponsored by a new campus group called Slow Food. Formed this fall, the organization's goal is to promote sustainable dining and locally grown foods through events like oyster-, cheese-, and bread-tasting workshops. Slow Food also plans on producing a local restaurant review and food guide. Photos by Julia Osellame ’09
Princeton's top-10 team, 10 years later
In the 1997-98 season, Princeton men's basketball was a national phenomenon. The Tigers went 26-1 in the regular season (an achievement celebrated on PAW's March 25, 1998, cover), climbed as high as No. 8 in the Associated Press national rankings, and drew a group of devoted followers. After playing its last three Ivy League games on the road, coaches opened an intra-squad scrimmage to the public to give fans one more chance to see the team play at home. The Tigers went on to beat UNLV in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to Michigan State and star guard Mateen Cleaves in the second round.
On Dec. 16, Princeton will honor members of the 1997-98 team at a reunion during a men's and women's basketball doubleheader at Jadwin Gym. The Tiger women (3-7) open the action against Syracuse (7-1) at 2 p.m., and the men (2-6) tip-off against Manhattan (5-4) at 5 p.m.
