PRINCETON BOROUGH - Princeton University administrators last week ordered the confiscation of hundreds of T-shirts being sold to promote an underground drinking game rebuked by its unwitting namesake, legendary actor Paul Newman.

A small group of students was using a dorm room on campus to sell the T-shirts for $15 to $20 each heralding the drinking game known as "Newman's Day," which calls for students to drink a beer an hour for 24 hours.

At least one student fired off e-mails advertising the merchandise to other students.

And in doing so, the student mistakenly included the assistant dean of undergraduate students, Maria Flores-Mills, as an e-mail recipient Friday, said a university spokeswoman and another student involved in the T-shirt promotion.

The event - which, like all drinking games, is officially prohibited by the university - is believed to have begun at Princeton several years ago.
