...problem: funding. This year, Yale’s Spring Fling will feature not only The Shins and Rahzel, but also O.A.R., performances by student bands, an outdoor barbecue, and booze. For the Yale College Council (YCC), the Bulldogs’ UC equivalent, the weekend comes with a price tag of $110,000—almost exactly the cost of Harvard’s day-time Springfest activities...
What’s the difference? According to Blickstead, the amount of money doesn’t compensate for the fact that our version of Spring Fling is more geared towards Snoopy than Snoop.

They are predictably anodyne...

As he was hauled down from behind, Maki wound up for a booming wrist shot, which he managed to fling into the top left corner of the net just before crashing to the ice at 9:26, staking the Crimson to a 1-0 lead...
