Princeton’s new prez bemoans the lack of freaks on campus.

”I would like to think we could begin to attract students with green hair,” declared Tilghman a few weeks ago. ”We will take pink and blue and orange hair, too.”

And perhaps a couple of nipple rings to add some contrast on this serenely picturesque campus, which some liken to the Talbots of the Ivy League. In fact, what Tilghman would really like to attract to this vaunted institution – which boasts not only some of the highest caliber students in the nation but eight Nobel Prize winners among its faculty – is some students who are well-rounded. Some mavericks. Some dropouts. Some from out of the box. Some, one might say, who are a little like her.
