Two New Haven residents competing for the same legislative seat — that currently held by 32-year incumbent Rep. Bill Dyson — will draw on significantly different bases of support as August’s Democratic primary approaches. While Ward 20 Alderman Charles Blango has the backing several other aldermen — which provides, among other things, the access to Yale bestowed...
“There was one rule in my father’s apartment: I could not have sex with anyone, at all, while I lived with him. Sex anywhere else was fine — as long as he didn’t know about it.” Sitting on his couch in his Yale dorm room, Qiang Ye* ’08 continues matter-of-factly. “So I came home with this guy from [boarding] school who I had this huge crush on,” he says...
Ask New Haven Police Department Interim Chief Stephanie Redding, and she’ll say that being a woman has never made her more or less successful at her job. “I think every officer individually has their strengths and weaknesses,” Redding says. But during her 23-year career at the NHPD, being a woman has always made Redding a minority within the department, and that...
There’s something about the word “sophomore” that is distinctly unpleasant: from somewhere deep within, it oozes dread and foreboding. Mediocrity and yet another fifteen pounds become looming possibilities with the mention of the “sophomore slump.” But besides referring to the second of a four year-long ordeal called school, “sophomore” can also mark the...
I would like to submit an official request for the shitty version of New Haven to come back. The gray skies heavy with depression, the iced sidewalks claiming victims right and left, the wind that makes me bitch. I would even settle for the urain. I call it urain because isn’t dry but it isn’t cathartic thunderstorm rain either; it just goes on and on, peeing on us...
Aliza Shvarts’ ’08 controversial senior art project may have dominated talk about the Art Department this past week. But today, 20 other senior art majors will unveil their final projects — with or without her. The themes and ideas behind the seniors’ work are profoundly diverse, and the show will feature pieces from each of the four concentrations in the art...
“Money doesn’t make us happy.” We’ve all heard it from parents who drive Mercedes, innovative musicians who sell out to big labels, and Yale grads in their third year at Goldman Sachs. The mass consumerism that drives our economy — encouraging you to buy that new cell phone with the built in PDA and GPS and that pink argyle sweater from J. Crew — is harming...
A small aside at the Omni Hotel on Thursday morning may aggravate preexisting tensions between Tweed New Haven Regional Airport and East Haven. At Thursday’s annual meeting of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce, amid upbeat conversation about city commerce and youth initiatives, Chamber Director Michael Morand ’87 DIV ’93 introduced a proposal asking East...
Despite the national recession, an initiation of a new board vice-chairman and a petition in support of Tweed New Haven Regional Airport construction, it was same old, same old for the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce at its annual meeting Thursday morning. At the two-hour meeting, held over breakfast at the Omni Hotel and keynoted by Wall Street Journal economics...
Post-erboys for the new post-musicality that is affecting our age. Remembering the grayness that pervades the world. Something empty streams through reticence. M83’s new album “Saturdays = Youth” capitalizes on minimal use of lyrics, sounds, comprehensibility. Somehow Saturdays do not equal Fun. Or anything particularly Saturday-ish. “Too Late,” a song that...
New Haven youth may soon have new places to socialize in a safe setting. The need for additional low-key and safe recreational facilities in New Haven was foremost on the agenda for the Aldermanic Youth Committee’s meeting Wednesday night. Members of the aldermanic Youth Council, concerned New Haven residents and student representatives from three New Haven high...
Ward 7 Alderwoman Frances “Bitsie” Clark can still remember clearly the time she was most impressed with the youth of New Haven. She remembers a girl who came to the front of the stage at one of two public youth hearing hosted by the Board of Aldermen last year to speak against a teenage curfew proposal. “You gave birth to us,” Clark said the girl said to the...
