Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Stephen Gatesy was a consultant for “Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries,” a new exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. With research partner John Hutchinson, he writes about the scientific challenges they faced in creating computer animation of Tyrannosaurus rex locomotion that is based upon science rather than popular media.

When the American Museum of Natural History wanted to create a digital walking Tyrannosaurus rex for a new dinosaur exhibit, it turned to dinosaur locomotion experts John Hutchinson and Stephen Gatesy for guidance. Gatesy is an associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. The pair writes about the problems involved in recreating T. rex's walking pose in the March 16 issue of the journal Nature.

A Brown committee report recently recommended that the University consider turning the Brown Bookstore over to an outside company. Wednesday night, about 100 supporters for keeping the bookstore independent held a rally outside the store. Although the University has yet to decide how to act on the committee report, many attending the rally said they feel the decision to outsource is all but a signed deal.

A Brown committee report recently recommended that the University consider turning the Brown Bookstore over to an outside company, an increasingly common practice: Of 4,650 college stores, outside companies operated more than 1,500 stores last year. But a coalition of Brown students and faculty has teamed up with alumni, local merchants and politicians to prevent Brown from leasing the store to an outside business. This wire service article was distributed nationwide to member media.

Ten student, faculty, and civil-liberties groups have banded together to fight the “academic bill of rights” in a more organized fashion, the groups’ officials plan to announce today. Members of the coalition, which is calling itself Free Exchange on Campus, take aim at David Horowitz, the conservative activist, and at his self-styled bill of rights, a proposal that he says aims to make college campuses more intellectually diverse and to protect them from being “indoctrinated” by “political propagandists in the classroom.”

Though the search for a successor to Harvard President Lawrence Summers has yet to begin, some of the people thought to be contenders are addressing conjectures about their interest in the position. A statement from Brown University reads: ''The president's office declines to comment on any speculation about leadership issues that are taking place at Harvard."

As part of its centennial celebration, the NCAA has created a list of “The 100 Most Influential NCAA Student-Athletes.” Joseph Paterno ’50 is ranked No. 26. Paterno played basketball and football while a student at Brown.
