Tipsy students filled the field outside the Yale Bowl Saturday, despite fears that tightened regulations would tame the festivities. Though rules circulated prior to the event forbade serving alcohol to minors and playing drinking games, police stood by while the guidelines went largely unheeded. Lowell House Stein Club Secretary Bryan A. Haut ’08 said his only interaction with the law during the event occurred when one officer stopped by to comment on the cheap brand of beer he was drinking. “I offered him one, and he said he couldn’t because...
...Ugandan contestant on the reality-TV program Big Brother Africa 2, was finally evicted from the show. The second African season of the series that helped make reality TV a popular format in the U.S. and Europe is captivating viewers throughout the continent with its tawdry language, free-flowing alcohol and sexual antics.

...that didn’t stop Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education David Pilbeam six weeks ago. And whatever political capital the UC had it has well and truly burnt. The bottom line is that, in this matter, the College holds all the cards. Any dispute over alcohol that went far enough to necessitate the intervention of the FAS (the only body that does have explicit power over the UC) would almost certainly end up in the administration’s favor. It’s nonsensical that UC members yet feel emboldened and willing to engage the administration again...
