THE NEWS

• Ward 1 Alderman Michael Jones ’11 will not run for a second term on the Board of Aldermen. In an announcement to the News on Monday, Jones said he would not seek reelection because he has yet to find a job in the area that he would want to stay at after graduation. While Jones could have waited until August to file as a candidate, he said waiting until then would have unfairly compromised the ability of other candidates to run for his seat in November.
• International students considering Yale face a unique range obstacles in applying, but admissions representatives travel around the world to tell them why a Yale education is valuable and how they can close the distance separating them from New Haven.
• Black Hair 101. This week’s WEEKEND cover looks at the politics of hair in Yale’s black community. Some black women at Yale straighten their hair. Some wear their hair natural, rocking an afro or a mop of tight curls. Either way, their decision is controversial and makes a statement on race and race relations. Martine Powers investigates.
