A KNIGHT'S TALE
A professor at the University
of New Hampshire was found not
guilty of stalking and disorderly
conduct last week. The professor
had allegedly threatened to kill a
University official who he believed
caused him to receive a parking
ticket, the New Hampshire Union
Leader reported. John Collins, the
professor, allegedly also kicked a
trash can and shouted threats at
Stacia Sower, the college's interim
associate dean of research.
Collins has faced sanctions from
the university. He ivas stripped of
his title as the chair of the college's
biochemistry and molecular biology
department.
DONATIONS
A New Jersey court is preparing
to hear arguments from the family
that gave $35 million to Princeton
University in 1961 and believes the
college has misused its money since
then, Inside Higher Ed reported.
That donation is now worth about
$900 million.
The Robertson family, the heirs
of Marie Robertson, who gave the
original gift, has argued that the
college has not followed through
on the original condition of the gift,
which was that it be used to support'
graduate education at Princeton's
Woodrow Wilson School of Public
and International Affairs. They say
the money was supposed tobe spent
specifically on training to prepare
graduate students to work in the
federal government but was spent
on other programs.
DALAI LAMA
The Dalai Lama, a Buddhist
monk and leader of Tibet's exiled
government, joined the faculty
of Emory University in a ceremo-
ny last week. The Dalai Lama, a
recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize,
was named a Presidential Distin-
guished Professor, meaning he will
teach students enrolled in Emory's
study-abroad program based in
Dharamsala, India and will occa-
sionally returnto Emory for special
events and lectures.
The Chinese government voiced
anger at the United States after the
announcement. The Dalai Lama led
an uprising against Chinese rule
in 1959 and was forced to flee the
country after it failed.
CHIEF ILLINIWEK
The University ofIllinois allowed
images of Chief Illiniwek, the Illi-
nois mascot who was banned earlier
this year, to appear on floats during
the college's Homecoming celebra-
tion this weekend.
The college originallyintendedto
ban representations of the mascot,
which was retired for its appropria-
tion of Native American imagery,
but reversed that decision because
officials felt it was a violation of
free speech to restrict the use of the
mascot on floats, The Daily Illini
reported.

member of the Society of Creative Anachronism, yesterday
at Regents Plaza. Edwards and Craft wore 14-gauge steel
helmets that had a half-inch of padding - more than most
car bumpers have, Craft said.
