THE NEWS

• President Barack Obama was inaugurated for his second term yesterday in front of thousands of onlookers. The News was one of them. Read more about the inauguration ceremony in tomorrow’s News.
• When Charles Musser ’73 started his junior year in the 1960s, he decided to take time off — for four years. College was a place for books, for writing, for art, but not for watching movies, and Musser, a film buff, wanted to watch movies. So Musser left Yale for four years to explore and make his own film. When he returned, he opted to create his own major, becoming one of the first Yale undergraduates to major in film studies.
• Faculty members can now submit their annual activity reports this winter with only a few simple clicks and keystrokes. In a Jan. 3 memo to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, then-Provost Peter Salovey unveiled a new Web-based activity report that professors must fill out once a year to help the University track their research, additional responsibilities, and the grants, honors and awards they have received over the past year. The online form, developed over the past several months by the Provost’s Office and Faculty Administrative Services, replaces the Microsoft Word documents used to collect this information in recent years.
