THE NEWS

• New sexual misconduct prevention workshops launched for freshmen this week are drawing on new research about sexual relationships to encourage students to listen to their instincts in social situations.

• Thirteen years and 252 straight wins had made Trinity squash a dynasty. But Yale, the No. 2 squash powerhouse for three years, was determined to claim some of the glory last Wednesday night. College squash saw the end of an era when John Roberts ’12 scored his 11th point against Trinity’s Johan Detter, ending the longest winning streak in college sports history.
• This week, some city politicos threw their weight behind candidates who hope to replace U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman ‘64 LAW ‘67.

  Nearly 100 city Democrats, including members of the Board of Aldermen and Yale College Democrats, attended a fundraiser at the East Rock home of U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro Sunday to support U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy in his bid for the U.S. Senate. Two days later, Murphy opponent and former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz ’83 met with the Yale Democrats’ election committee to introduce herself to students and discuss the upcoming 2012 elections.
