Want to save $10? The Yale College Council is waiving the annual fee to join the Bike Share program for students who use the bikes to ride to community tutoring programs.

Today is “Pepero Day.” Hanppuri, the Korean international students organization, will deliver the chocolate dipped pretzel treats — more commonly known as “pocky” — to students who wish to buy them. Profits from the pepero sales will benefit the Eugene Bell Foundation, which sends tuberculosis medicine to North Korea.
Bravo! Approximately 50 Italian students gathered at the Blue Dog Café in the Hall of Graduate Studies Tuesday evening to play Scarabeo, or Italian Scrabble. Students enjoyed Italian snacks and conversation while playing the popular board game.
‘It Was Him,’ a short film by Avery Lanman ’13 inspired by the memory of Andre Narcisse ’12, has been posted on YouTube. Find a link on the Cross Campus blog.
Trumbull Dean Jasmina Besirevic’s daughter, Selma, will celebrate her seventh birthday at lunch in the Trumbull dining hall today. There will be cake.
