A decision by the stateSupreme Court could mean a set-back for Save the Dinky, and again for Princeton University, buttwo other cases still hang in thecourt system’s balance.
Save the Dinky is a residentsgroup opposed to Princeton Uni-versity changing the Dinky Sta-tion, which the university desiresfor its “Arts and Transit” project,a $330 million expanse of shops,restaurants and educational
structures.The university transferred
part of the Dinky’s easementfrom NJ Transit, a move thatSave the Dinky believed neededfederal review. However, the stateSupreme Court disagreed, decid-ing last week that it would not re-view the case.
Had the Supreme Court agreedto its review, it had the potentialto delay the transfer for up to fiveyears.
The resident group did not filean appeal with the state SupremeCourt, but a petition for certifica-
tion, which does not require ahearing.
An appellate court ruling inMarch found no federal review ofthe transfer was necessary, withwhich the Supreme Court agreed.
The university’s argument forits right to the portion of the ter-minus stems from a 1984 contractwith NJ Transit, which reads,“Buyer has the right to move theexisting terminus of the rail linesouthward coincident with the lo-cation of the minimum reserva-tion of platform space.
“This relocation, which will in-
clude moving the bumper block,rail removal, cutting and measur-ing the catenary and signal relo-cation, must be done by seller, itsagents, or its designee, at the soleexpense of buyer.”
The two suits still active areconcerned with the regional plan-ning board of Princeton’s ap-proval for the Arts and Transitproject and with zoning approvalsreceived by the university fromPrinceton’s former borough andthe township.
Since August, Princeton com-muters have been using the tem-
porary station farther down theline than the original. The newstation is slated for completion in2017, and it will be 460 feet awayfrom the former Dinky station.
The Save the Dinky websitereads, “The short-term loss is 460or more feet.
“The long-term loss is the per-manent privatization of a pre-cious transit right of way thatends near the center of town.”
Representatives from Save theDinky and Princeton Universitycould not be reached for com-ment.
Princeton University will move forward with its plans for Arts and Transit project
Harold Kuhn, Princeton Universitymathematician, dies at 88
By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun
Harold Kuhn, a Princetonmathematician responsible foradvances in game theory and ap-proaching economics through amathematical lens, died on July 2of congestive heart failure at theage of 88.
Kuhn is survived by his wifeEstelle, son Clifford, sonNicholas, son Jonathan andgrandchildren Joshua andGabriel; Michael, Jeremy andEmily; Lee and Jeffrey.
He was born in 1925, andserved in the army from 1944 to1946. Kuhn completed his bache-lor’s degree at the California In-stitute of Technology in 1947.
He received his Ph.D. fromPrinceton University in 1950 andspent seven years as a facultymember at Bryn Mawr Collegebefore he taught at Princeton Uni-versity for 37 years.
He retired in 1995 as professorof mathematical economics
emeritus. Kuhn served as president of
the Society for Industrial and Ap-plied Mathematics and was aGuggen-heim fel-lowfrom1982 to1983.
Kuhnworkedexten-sivelyon con-tribu-tions togametheory,whichinvolvesa focus on the behavior of deci-sion makers and their choices af-fecting each other. He wrote a dis-sertation in geometric group the-ory, which was advised by Profes-sor Ralph Fox.
In 1994, Kuhn chaired a NobelPrize committee panel discussion
of his fellow graduate studentJohn Nash’s Nobel Prize-winningwork in economics.
Professor Albert Tucker andKuhn are responsible for what isnow known as the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions for nonlinearprogramming, which are widelyused in economics dealing withoptimization within constraints.
Kuhn instructed a variety ofcourses, both at the undergradu-ate and graduate levels. He taughtfor both the economics and math-ematics departments with cours-es ranging from mathematicaleconomics, trade theory, pricetheory and mathematical pro-gramming.
He is responsible for a policydocument, “Rights, Rules and Re-sponsibilities,” that continues tohelp define students’ relationshipwith the university.
This document stemmed fromhis initial policy document, “Stu-dents and the university” which,according to Princeton Universi-ty, “led to broad changes in the
participation of students in thegovernance of Princeton.”
Continuing his involvement instudent life, he served on theCommittee of the Structure ofthe University, which was respon-sible for the creation of the Coun-cil of the Princeton UniversityCommunity, a council that cur-rently facilitates communicationbetween the university communi-ty and its governance.
Dilip Abreu, the Edward E.Matthews, Class of 1953, profes-sor of finance and professor ofeconomics at Princeton, said in arelease that “Kuhn was a keymember of a brilliant group thatushered it in, which included thegenius John von Neumann andNobel Prize winners John Nash,Lloyd Shapley and Robert Au-mann, amongst other greats.”
According a the release, Kuhn“was widely recognized for hisscholarship and respected for histhoughtful approach to teachingand for his service to the universi-ty.”

Princeton University studentswill have the opportunity to par-ticipate in a pilot bike share pro-gram starting in late fall. Thepilot bike share program is partof an ongoing initiative to facili-tate bike transport in tandemwith the opening of the newPrinceton Train Station.
The pilot program will bebased at the new station and willbe comprised of 10 bicycles thatwill be shared among students.
According to Princeton Univer-sity’s director of community andregional affairs Kristin S. Appel-get, the university will be lookingat demand for the bikes at the sta-tion.
“I’m certain we will be receiv-ing feedback,” she said.
The university’s transporta-tion and parking department willcoordinate the program.
Appelget explained that theidea of a bike share program hasbeen in development for morethan six years. It has been in theworks as an element of the new
Princeton station since its incep-tion.
In addition to the 10 bikes usedas part of the rental program,racks with spaces for nearly 100bikes will also be implemented aspart of the new station. Appelgetsaid 78 spaces will be covered and20 will be uncovered.
Although there are only 10bikes as part of the pilot, the en-tire new station will have a focuson facilitating car-less transporta-tion.

t’s hard to believe, but just lastweek, we saw the first back-to-school advertisement on TV. It took
us by surprise. “Oh, no,” we thought,“did we sleep through all of July?”
Of course we didn’t; it’s just storestrying to get ahead of the game andboosting sales in a traditionally downmonth.
It got us thinking, though: We havebeen presenting back-to-school cover-age in The Sun for quite awhile now, inmany different towns, but how can wemake this coverage better?
Our quick answer – by being betterprepared.
So, even though the beginning of thenext school year is the last thing onyour mind here in mid-July, we’re ask-ing that you put it at the forefront ofyour brain – or at least in part of yourbrain – for a few moments.
What will be different about thisschool year?
We’re going to find out. Right now,our reporters are compiling lists of
questions for school leaders about thenew school year.
Are there new classes students andparents need to know about?
How about scheduling changes?Was any work done at the schools
over the summer?Generally, we’ll be asking school
leaders to tell us about things thatyou – parents, taxpayers and students –need to know before the 2014-15 schoolyear begins.
Then, we will pass that informationalong to you.
Do you have any questions you’d likeour reporters to ask? If so, the time toact is now. The more questions we getfrom you, the better prepared we canbe, and the better information we can
pass along to you.Maybe you are concerned about the
budget (who isn’t?). Or maybe you’veheard about a new program that youthink might be ideal for your child. Orperhaps you are wondering about re-pairs that were scheduled for yourchild’s school.
We’d love to get those questions fromyou. Just send an email to us so that wecan include them on our lists.
Most school districts have done a lotin recent years to be more responsiveto questions submitted by the public. Itmakes sense. Everyone wants to havegreat schools. Everyone wants to keeptaxes as low as possible, while still pro-viding great service. One of the bestways to achieve these goals is to build atrue public-private partnership be-tween schools and the communitiesthey serve. And building that relation-ship starts with effective communica-tion.
So send us your questions. We’ll doour best to get answers.
Ready for school?Of course you’re not, but there’s no better time to prepare than now
Any questions?We are tracking down school leaders toask them questions about the upcomingschool year. So what’s on your mind? Sendus your questions, and we’ll do our best toget answers.
Additionally, immediately adjacent tothe new station, near the West Garageparking structure, there will be 20 newbike lockers.
“Bike lockers are a much more securelocation for a bike for people who don’twant to leave bikes on the bike rack. Thosespaces will be available to the public,” Ap-
pelget said.Appelget explained that residents of
Princeton seem eager to investigate the op-portunity for a pilot bike share program tocome to downtown.
“I think people are very interested in theprogram.
“I have heard from members of the bikeand pedestrian committee that they arepleased with the pilot program. I think wewill be able to learn quite a bit from that,and it will be a good opportunity for a pilotprogram to come about in town at somepoint,” she said.
The bike share pilot program is similarto New York City’s Citi Bike sharing sys-tem, which launched in May 2013 and isnow the largest bike sharing program inthe country. Bike share programs seek toreduce emissions, vehicle collisions andtransit congestion by providing bicycles topeople for a short-term basis without own-ing or maintaining the equipment. Publicbike share programs have gained populari-ty in cities and small towns in recent years.

As of July 1, contracts betweenthe Princeton Regional EducationAssociation and the Board of Ed-ucation expired. The board andPREA negotiation teams met onMonday, June 30 for approximate-ly 4.5 hours, and the two sides areremaining mostly at a stalemate.
Superintendent SteveCochrane called the June 30 meet-ing “productive” and said the twosides will continue to meet thissummer, “with the hope of reach-ing agreement before the start ofthe school year.” Until a newagreement is signed, the currentcontract will remain in place.
John Baxter, Princeton HighSchool history teacher and leaderof the PREA negotiation team,said the PREA felt “there wasvery little significant progressand no progress whatsoever onthe main topics of health careand salary.” However, the twogroups were able to come toagreement on contract languagefor the prorated number of sickand personal days for new hiresthat begin employment after thestart of the school year and forthe use of accumulated unusedpersonal days.
“We were disappointed that theboard was unprepared to make anew proposal on either healthcare or salary. The PREA teamagain expressed our willingnessto seriously consider any cost-saving proposals and again sug-gested that the board not disre-gard the possible merits of theState Employees Health BenefitsPlan. The board agreed to havesome new proposals or conceptsto present at the next meeting,”Baxter said.
The next meeting is scheduledfor July 24, when the board willpresent a new health benefits pro-posal.

Kristin Friberg, reader servic-es librarian at the Princeton Pub-lic Library, is used to transition-ing her book discussion groupfrom novels to short stories in thesummer because they are breezi-er and less of a commitment.However, when it came time tomake the selections for this sum-mer’s group discussions, Fribergwas tired of the same format. Asoverseer of the adult book groups
at PPL, she decided to look for away to change things up.
“I always try to think of out-of-the-box ideas for the bookgroups,” she said. “I was alwaysplanning on doing a short storyseries based on The New Yorkershort stories.”
Friberg’s initial plan was to se-lect short stories that had beenfeatured in The New Yorker, printthem and have them ready for herparticipants to read in advance.
“This seemed kind of tedious,and would require a great deal of
sifting, and I thought there had tobe a better way,” she said.
Friberg explained that siftingthrough a sea of short stories tofind enough suitable for discus-sion could often be a laborioustask.
Friberg came across The NewYorker fiction podcasts, whichshe appreciated because the sto-ries had been pre-selected. Estab-lished authors select other au-thors’ works to read aloud anddiscuss.
“I thought this could be a fan-tastic idea and a new twist on theprogram,” Friberg said.
Her only concern was her adultbook group members might feelslightly juvenile participating ina “read aloud.”
“I thought maybe some mem-bers would think ‘oh, great, some-one is going to read a story to me,’but it has turned out to be muchmore sophisticated than that,”she said.
The podcast consists of theshort story reading, then a dis-cussion with the fiction editor,which, according to Friberg, addsa new, welcomed layer to her pop-ular book group discussions.
“Sometimes when we do shortstories, they’re obviously short,and you wonder ‘how much canwe actually talk about this?’ sothis adds another element tomake the groups more interestingfor participants,” she said.
Friberg said members of theadult book groups have expressedexcitement about the new pro-gram and look forward to partici-pating in what she calls “an ex-periment.”
She noted that an additionalbenefit of this format is it re-quires no preparation from par-ticipants.
The next session of the groupwill take place on Thursday, Aug.7 at 10:30 a.m. in the PrincetonRoom on the second floor of the li-brary.
The session will feature authorJoshua Ferris reading a story byGeorge Saunders.
