In response to the deeply disturbing news that the New York Police Department had been surveying the Yale Muslim Student Association (among many other MSA’s around the country), which President Levin described as “antithetical to the values of Yale, the academic community, and the United States,” the YMSA has created Call the NYPD, a photo …
In a truly charming display of local talent, T-Miz (a.k.a Travis Pittman) released this song and accompanying music video for those of New Haven (and beyond!) to enjoy. Just in case you’re unfamiliar with the local star, Pittman describes his upbringing “as the regular hood struggle, being raised by his mother (a single parent) falling victim …
The dawn of a new age.
Apparently it’s for real! Alexander Nemerov, he of overflowing YUAG fame, will be leaving New Haven to return to the sunny beaches of Stanford. He’ll be done here in May when the term ends, at which point he’ll head California to teach at Stanford starting in the fall. (Nemerov taught at Stanford before he started …
Whoa whoa! He was my TA!!!
I mean…they said it without saying it, you know? A recently published study from the Yale University School of Medicine tells a lot that we, in all honesty, should probably already know. The gist of the findings: using tobacco when smoking marijuana increases both the risk of addiction and intensifies the “mind-altering effects” of the drug, …
A few weeks ago, Yale hosted an entire, LC101-filling slam poetry competition, and I had no idea. Neither did my suitemates. Or the friends in other colleges that I made come with me to see my friend perform. “I’m obviously great and important,” I thought to myself, “If I’ve never heard of it, how good …
The best work at the Yale School of Drama gets put up at the Yale Cabaret. At least, according to Ryan Davis, who’s been on the board of trustees for four years (he knows what he’s talking about). They rarely show stuff that they have to get the rights for (who wants to deal with …
I consider myself to be an average college student in that I enjoy cereal for more meals than just breakfast. One of my friends adheres to this philosophy even more wholeheartedly and rarely finishes dinner without a mug/bowl/whatever dish Yale dining has left of cereal. In order to balance a propensity for cereal with our …
History always repeats itself.

On Thursday night, something went down in Commons. It was a food expo. It was a top chef cooking competition. It was a shit show par excellence.
We’d all been getting the daily emails–tempting us to “Eat at Commons,” bribing us with iPads and chicken tenders, very helpfully reminding us that as each day passed, we …
INCOMING: The Oscars
It’s here! It’s the Superbowl after the Superbowl. It’s the night we buy all the Tostitos and salsa in Gheav. It’s the reason why the Herald bought a high-def TV. Just kidding. But it is one of our favorite nights (even though we don’t care about any of the awards besides Best Picture, …

The weather’s been really nice, blah, blah, blah. Whatever. Only boring people talk about the weather and let’s give ourselves a little credit—there were plenty of great moments this week. Curveball! While the whole NYPD racial-profiling thing isn’t super tight, something good did come out of the whole mess. President Richard Levin …
Around 10 o’clock every morning, Krishna and I would go get coffee. After arriving at the campaign headquarters at nine, we’d spend an hour writing emails, organizing our desks, and reading the news. Without fail, between 9:50 a.m. and 10:15 a.m., one of us would casually saunter over to the other’s desk, ask how he …
Reign of Terror certainly isn’t the worst album in the world, but it is arguably the worst-named record in recent memory—for a few reasons. Sleigh Bells’ newest album, released on Tues., Feb. 21, follows up on the group’s growing mainstream success, a unique feat given its “noise pop” origins within the indie music community. Although …
It is no coincidence that the YSoA symposium “Is Drawing Dead?” (Feb. 9-11) coincided with its ongoing exhibition, “Massimo Scolari: The Representation of Architecture, 1967-2012.” This exhibition, which runs through May 4, succeeds in physically communicating the need for drawing in the architectural process; the layout of the gallery, which moves from sketches to structures, …
If you see Safe House, you will do so for one irrefutable reason: Denzel Washington is a certified bad-ass. In the end, that is reason enough.
Nothing about Safe House is particularly innovative. It’s a CIA thriller filling the vacuum left by Matt Damon’s departure from the Bourne franchise, the kind of film that keeps you …
