THE NEWS

• Residential college dining halls lost one of their longtime hallmarks this fall: custom designed dishware. And the students frequenting those dining halls were not the only ones hit by the change. Yale Dining recently replaced the individual college dishware with a generic set of china. With a larger surface area and no rim around the edges, the uniform new plates are designed to cut back on tray usage and to reduce theft by students seeking a full set of the college plates, Yale Dining Executive Director Rafi Taherian said in August.
• Before the first home game of the season against Georgetown this Saturday, Yale football fans will have to adjust their pre-game plans and activities to comply with updated tailgating regulations. This August, a committee comprised of Dean of Student Affairs Marichal Gentry, officials from the Athletics Department, a number of college masters and deans and representatives of the Yale Police Department approved changes to the University’s football tailgate rules intended to cut down on underage drinking. Students were notified of these changes by email on Tuesday.
• After operating independently for several years,Yale Law School’s dining hall is consolidating some fuctions with central campus’s Yale Dining this year.
