THE NEWS
- The News continues to follow the results of the gubernatorial race in Connecticut. Both the Democrat and the Republican candidate in Connecticut’s hotly-contested gubernatorial race announced late this afternoon that they have begun forming transition teams. Democrat Dan Malloy, who the Secretary of the State said leads unofficial tallies by 3,103 votes, announced in a press conference that his runningmate Nancy Wyman would co-chair his transition team alongside Tim Bannon LAW ’77, the current executive director of the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority. But as of 8 p.m., with 99 percent of precincts reporting, Foley held a 9,000 vote lead.
- When it comes to risky behavior, substance use and sex are strongly linked, according to a new study conducted at the Yale School of Medicine.
The national study, conducted by School of Medicine assistant professor Jeanette Tetrault, found ties between incidents of alcohol abuse or dependence and marijuana consumption and the diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections in adolescent and young adults.
- After Yale College Council’s push for academic minors was rejected last year by a faculty vote, the YCC is asking administrators to consider language certificates.
The YCC plans to submit a report to administrators January recommending that the University adopt language certificates, YCC President Jeff Gordon ‘12 said.
