I was shocked and appalled when I opened the News yesterday. After Monday’s call for Peter Salovey to step down for his “hypocrisy,” I expected to find the entire newspaper comprised of guest columns and letters to the editor in defense of that noblest of mustachioed deans. Although I had planned in this space to pen a column that would simultaneously chastise...
Ever since my favorite Cup Noodles was removed from the intersection of Broadway and 45th, all the advertisements in Times Square do nothing for me except justify wearing sunglasses at night. I have no interest in buying men’s underwear or the latest toys, so I usually ignore the gigantic eyesores and concentrate on seething at the tourists that stop and gawk every five...
With the summer rapidly approaching, many seniors like myself are looking forward to the freedom and responsibility coming after graduation. But, the whole world’s eyes seem to be focused on the summer’s Olympic host, China. After an uprising in Tibet that brought the travails of a cultural minority to the forefront of the media, activists have demonstrated...
It was early September, 1968. A tall, lanky junior wandered into 202 York St., home of the Yale Daily News, holding a handful of hand-drawn comics — a series about the football team called “Bull Tales.” Nervously, the young man greeted Executive Editor Reed Hundt ’69 LAW ’74. After rifling through the first three or four comic strips, Hundt shrugged. He was...
Plastic wristbands may be added to the unofficial uniform of J. Press jackets — for those under 21. Mory’s on Tuesday announced three new additions to its line-up of famous cup concoctions, but with one major change: the new creations are non-alcoholic. The Razz-A-Ma-Tazz, Strawberry Blast and Island Breeze reflect a change in restaurant policy instituted two weeks...
Although Yalies encountered problems on the football field at this year’s Harvard-Yale game, they managed to steer clear of trouble at the tailgate. Police officers issued only six infractions — none of which were alcohol-related or issued to Yale affiliates — at this year’s game, Yale Police Department spokesman Sgt. Steven Woznyk said. He said this number was...
Drunkenness is not the only thing leaving students confused about the impact of Connecticut’s year-old alcohol laws on campus. The Connecticut liquor law has led to confusion about how rules concerning drinking are enforced on campus and has called the traditional role of residential college administrators as guardians into question, students said. Administrators —...
Student groups and residential college councils have begun making arrangements for the Harvard-Yale Game next week following the Wednesday announcement by University administrators that the individual colleges and Harvard houses will be allowed to bring U-Hauls and other large vehicles into the tailgate area. Students largely reacted to the news with relief, even though...
U-Hauls and other larger vehicles will be permitted in the student tailgate area during the Harvard-Yale football game next weekend, University officials told the News on Tuesday. Following an announcement two weeks ago that University administrators had not yet decided whether to allow such vehicles, student groups had worried that the popular tailgate accessory would...
Halloween dies out at the end of middle school and — without a doubt — comes back to life with a vengeance in college. Halloween at Yale is a week-long affair. Beginning last Saturday night with a slew of parties, the festivities will continue through at least Wednesday, when the Yale Symphony Orchestra hosts its annual Halloween Show at 11:59 p.m. While students...
In an e-mail to Pierson College students sent Monday evening, Dean Amerigo Fabbri apologized for calling the Yale Police Department on Saturday to break up an annual, college-sanctioned Halloween party at which officers issued citations to several students for liquor violations. Most students cited were reprimanded for possession of alcohol by a minor, and one received a...
For students and alumni at this year’s Harvard-Yale Game, the sight of residential college flags will be familiar — but their age-old U-Haul mounts may be missing. In an effort to make the pre-Game festivities safer, the Council of Masters is currently “leaning toward” modifying the University’s Harvard-Yale tailgate policy by banning trucks and U-Haul vans...
