THE NEWS

• The New York Times reported Thursday that quarterback Patrick Witt ’12 did not withdraw his Rhodes Scholarship candidacy in November so he could play at the 2011 Yale-Harvard Game. Instead, the Times reported, the Rhodes Trust had suspended Witt’s candidacy days before Witt’s announcement, after it learned that a fellow student had accused Witt of sexual assault.

• Future students in the two new residential colleges will never experience the pains or pleasures

  of living with a roommate — all bedrooms in the colleges will be singles. The new colleges will house students for all four years in suites consisting of singles and a common room. Administrators said they feel students prefer this arrangement since it combines the privacy of single rooms with the social experience of suite-style living, and it will also provide flexibility for summer programs.

• Yale students may no longer be hungry for a grocery store with the recent openings of Stop and Shop and Elm City Market, but concerns about the availability of healthy food options in New Haven persist. Following the closure of the Shaw’s supermarket on Whalley Avenue in March 2010, city officials and community leaders deemed New Haven a “food desert” — a term used by the United States Department of Agriculture to describe low-income neighborhoods with limited access to affordable and healthy food.
