PHOTO ESSAY: Moving On

The changing spirit of the American car echoed the changing spirit of America itself as the Industrial Age drew to a close.

An Activist Comes Home

After a difficult relationship with her alma mater, Brodsky returned this fall as a student at Yale Law School. After experiencing sexual misconduct firsthand at Yale, she has increasingly felt the obligation to address feminist issues — on this campus and beyond. Despite her issues with the University, Brodsky’s brand of feminism has been inextricably shaped by her time at Yale.

The Snyder Effect

Most School of Management community members are aware that Dean Edward Snyder’s initiatives will take time to reach their full potential. In the meantime, the school can reap the immediate benefits of Snyder’s leadership, though it remains to be seen whether he can work his magic on SOM the same way he did on the Booth School.

Grass

In the springtime, most of Yale is abloom. The Cross Campus lawn is not. It isn’t allowed to be. People cross it in droves every day, bringing soccer balls and blankets and cleats and tables and signs to push down into the quick of the dirt. They do yoga in the mornings, and they carry their boxed chicken caesar salads from Uncommon there at lunch, sprawling out with laptops, taking off their shoes, staring at the people billowing past in packs.

Lawmakers, then, are fighting not just the gun-rights backlash born of the recent legislation but also accusations that they have created a hostile working environment for the Nutmeg State’s gun industry, one gun-related businesses may just do well to abandon. “They don’t know what they can sell legally to whom, or when, or how,” said Josh Fiorini, the CEO of PTR. “Their world just got turned upside down.”

For Trans students, no simple remedy

In February, Brown University joined 36 other universities in covering gender confirmation surgery for students on its medical plan. Yale was not among the 36.

In Praise of Imitation

In two weeks, I’ll hit the obscure, awkward age of 19 — a little above adult, a step below maturity — and yet, I’ll have lived 19 times, at least, died 19 times, at least, to feel a bit above the whole birthday hoopla.

It’s Safe to Love the ’90s

In October 2013, Yale won’t see another Safety Dance. What’s now vying for the role of nostalgic dance du jour is Branford College’s Crushes and Chaperones. And that event is inevitably bound to reflect on Safety as an older, wiser, better precedent.
