Esolen, I don’t think we’re at Providence College anymore.
On Monday night, Yalies came out in droves, packing WLH 116 for Professor Anthony Esolen’s talk on “The Person as a Gift” in order to stage a “kiss-in” protesting the True Love Week speaker’s ragingly homophobic and acrimonious past writings. Fifteen minutes into Professor Esolen’s lecture (which was confusingly …
Exclusively for the Yale Herald, the New York entrepreneur Ari Goldman, the CEO of the “Choice Collectibles,” a real-estate investor and a regular on “Giuliana & Bill,” reveals his secrets to successful decision-making. He insists that in business and life, there’ll always be another deal. Could that mean a career in politics?
It’s 10 am and the snow is covering …
INCOMING: Facebook statuses about standing with Planned Parenthood
In case you’ve been living in a hole, the Susan G. Kormen foundation, one of the largest women’s health advoacy groups in the U.S., decided to cut its funding for Planned Parenthood, one of the other largest women’s health advoacy groups in the U.S., to provide breast cancer …
As our campus hurtles toward the event that launched a thousand op-eds, mailboxes were hit last night with yet another volley in the war of attrition that has developed around Sex Week: an email alerting us to “Undergraduates for a Better Yale College presents…True Love Week,” which will run parallel to Sex Week. For those of …
Listen long and hard. You simply won’t hear it. Never, ever.
“Willoughby’s soon?”
“I’m SO close with my advisor”
“Sophomore streak!”
“Cain 2012!”
“Ya, I’m free then”
“Good morning, World!”
“Totally didn’t black out last night!”
“Those parties are only fun if you’re sober”
“I get so much out of those Elmseed meetings”
“My TA is a real expert!”
“Danish later? ABP?”
“OMG best powerpoint ever”
“Shopping period …
Crimson tide, white-out, Blue’s shower.
305 Crown Street is perhaps the most unassuming building at Yale. Its location—snugly nestled between the Native American Cultural Center and a random off-campus apartment housing—doesn’t really lend itself to bombast. Unbeknownst to most Yalies, however, the building houses perhaps the most eclectic collection of Yale organizations on campus: the Yale Angler’s Journal, the Yale …
Well, Insomnia has finally hit New Haven, and Yalies are responding as though they’d never seen a cookie before (seriously, guys, you do realize that literally thousands of these things are served in the dining hall every day, right?). Faced with such overwhelming baked-goods-madness, I obviously had no choice but to succumb to the hysteria …
Yesterday, Harvard put up their annual Yale Sucks video, and while it certainly has some minor technical issues that some quicker cuts would easily solve, it is in fact far superior to the not-as-good thing Yale has thrown together. Watch the two videos and judge for yourself:
This is incredibly frustrating — we’re the underdog! Our …
If there’s one thing that really puts me in “rage mode,” it’s a well thought-out email from an administrator. Today’s email from Gentry could not have been any better for this purpose. He had it all: bold-faced headings, self-referential hyperlinks, plenty of appositives, and enough apologetic quotation marks to sink a ship. But these are …
Idk, recycle them. The race is over. My phone is not ringing anymore. My room is lonely; I long for the company of activists and clipboards. What will fill this void left by the conclusion of aldermania? A new hobby perhaps. Bingo? Bingo. B-I-N-G-O! And crosswords! Nah, word searches. That’s more up my alley. Anyone …
Kathy Riegelmann is a fitness instructor who views desserts slightly differently than do others in her field. Riegelmann doesn’t shun them. She makes them—and feeds them to everyone who enters her cupcake shop, Katalina’s Bakery.
Katalina’s, which opened Nov. 21 on Whitney Ave., serves a wide range of cupcakes, cookies, and brownies in standard, vegan, and …
“You’ve got mail!” my AOL account cheerily informed me last night.
Then I was like: “Who is it from? The YCC? They are so communicative and transparent and they always have fun new stuff to let me know! Oh what’s this?
“An email about wenzels? Sweet! An email about doing stuff with wenzels, no less! What stuff do …
There is a large clock on Battell Chapel. Right now you can’t see it (the Chapel is being refurbished and large blue tarps cover its exterior), but according to Yale and “The City of Elms,” a guide to Yale College written in 1882, the Battell Chapel clock consists of a single face made of carved …
Everyone’s STILL riled up
You can walk around Yale’s campus, navigating the Gothic-inspired architecture, the most obvious medieval presence here. Or, to experience artifacts from the Middle Ages firsthand, you can visit the early European quadrant on the third floor of the Yale University Art Gallery. Weaving through the burgundy pogo-walls, you will enter a conversation between various panels …
Nothing goes down quite as smooth as a lecture on the Cournot Duopoly with a pinch of gchat and a side of juicy Facebook newsfeed, if you ask me. Round out the meal with some StumbleUpon, Hell! even throw in some addictinggames.com, if you’re feeling particularly wild. These are ingredients that we students have come …
If you find yourself smelling the herbs of Kasbah Garden Café and hearing sultry jazz, then you’ve walked too far. In front of that well-frequented restaurant on Howe St. is a smaller establishment with more subtle sensory delights. Casablanca Boutique & Tailoring is the original business of Kasbah proprietor Lahcen Alouah, long-time resident of New …
Do you have an empty feeling? It’s the feeling that you aren’t doing enough—you just aren’t doing enough to proudly declare to everyone on campus that you go to Yale.
Lucky for you, Campus Customs on Broadway is here to solve your vexing problem. “It’s a store that sells, obviously, lots of ways to say Yale,” …
The Grey Squirrel population in New Haven, especially near Yale, is remarkably high. Guess whose fault that is? Surprise! It’s all YOUR fault.
Anderson Wildlife Co., a local animal control company, lists the area around Yale and Edgewood as having one of the highest squirrel populations in Connecticut. That’s thanks to the careless habits of …
