THE NEWS

  • For Elis looking to have fun on weekends, the common phrase “all roads lead to Toads” is becoming a subject of debate. For the past 37 years, Toad’s Place on York St. has been a staple weekend hot-spot for Yalies, but today, a growing number of students are finding reasons to seek other entertainment venues. Students interviewed said that changing crowd demographics and a growing number of social alternatives are eroding Toads’ decades-long dominance over college nightlife.
  • University administrators hoping to improve the sexual climate on campus through student-based leadership councils are facing resistance from leaders of undergraduate organizations. University President Richard Levin has advised student groups to develop committees similar to the Singing Group Council (SGC), which oversees Yale’s 15 a cappella groups, and added that the administration would start by expanding leadership councils to fraternities and sororities.
  • A new exhibit in Rudolph Hall provides a look back at two iconic figures in Yale’s architectural history.

    On Monday, “Gwathmey Siegel: Inspiration and Transformation” opened at the Yale School of Architecture to celebrate the life and work of Charles Gwathmey ARC ’62 and Robert Siegel, the architects behind the renovation of Rudolph Hall and the addition of the Loria Center on York Street. Designed to showcase the close relationship between art and architecture in many of their firm’s structures, the exhibit focuses on eight projects from 45 years of practice.
