BULLDOGS BRING HOME A WEST COAST WIN

Laundering money. An

enterprising Yale student has begun capitalizing off the Saybrook laundry scandal. For students who have not had the opportunity to have their clothing soiled by the “poopetrator,” brown shirts with “#poopetrator” on them are now available for sale. The shirts being sold anonymously on teespring.com are “brown so if the poopetrator strikes again, at least no one will be able to tell.” Each Hanes tagless T-shirt will run at $10.

The blacklist. If there is one

thing Yale undergraduates have learned over the past year, it is that replying ‘M’ does not mute a chain of emails. Over five dozen undergraduates either do not have a basic understanding of email or still find the “replyallcalypse” amusing because three mass email chains have filled up inboxes in the past month. At least the students who contributed have all made their names completely public through Belle Bells’ panlists. Let the public shaming begin… GRANT BRONSDON/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

The last frozen margarita.

Hearts sank across Saybrook College Friday morning after an announcement from the Saybrook College Council declared “Viva’s Night” cancelled. The decision came after Viva Zapata’s decided it would not allow anyone under the age of 21 to enter the establishment as a result of new police patrols in the area on the lookout specifically for underage drinkers. “As this prevents nearly 75 percent of Saybrugians from even being eligible to attend and because of how important and expensive the event is, we have elected to postpone Viva’s night,” the announcement stated. The future of frozen margarita festivities for the Saybrugians remains in flux. Free pumpkins. In case

students did not previously have a strong reason to begin their fall shopping at the stores along Chapel Street and Broadway, the Shops at Yale are now offering the added incentive of “a free mini pumpkin while supplies last.” All the potential jack-o’lanterns are being supplied by Van Wilgen’s Garden Center. It was unclear whether the addendum “while supplies last” was meant to suggest that the pumpkins were perishable or in high demand.

Elm City bling ring. In a

campaign dubbed “Operation Apple Harvest,” the New Haven Police Department pulled off a successful sting operation last week and repossessed thousands of stolen electronic devices. The enormous net of phones, pagers, cameras and other goods are being kept in a 2,250-square-foot warehouse in Fair Haven for the moment.

School of Nursing dedicated

YALE FOOTBALL’S HOT START CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT At 3–0, the Yale football team is off to its best start since starting 9–0 to open the 2007 season. The Elis head up to Hanover, N.H., next Saturday to face Dartmouth in their first Ivy road game of the season.

The Yale School of Nursing officially opened its new West Campus facility with a ribboncutting ceremony on Friday afternoon. A crowd of several hundred YSN students, professors and alumni gathered outside the renovated facility, which marks the most recent addition to the rapid growth on West Campus. While nursing students have voiced concerns that the new location will isolate the school from the pulse of main campus, they praised the space as a vast improvement over the former YSN home near the School of Medicine. Though YSN has been in session on West Campus since late August, Friday’s event kicked off a weekend-long dedication and celebration of the school’s 90th anniversary. “Despite our long program of success and storied history, this is the first time in our 90-year history that the School of Nursing has occupied its own building that was designed and built out to specifically enable us to accomplish our mission,” Dean of the School of Nursing Margaret Grey said in her speech. Over the last year, the University renovated an existing building on West Campus to serve as the new home for the School of Nursing. The 110,000-square-foot building features state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories. In her speech, Grey highlighted laboratories that allow students to simulate caring for patients in a hospital environment, as well as the University’s second Technology Enabled SEE NURSING PAGE 4

Hillary Clinton addresses law alumni BY LILLIAN CHILDRESS CONTRIBUTING REPORTER On Saturday afternoon, Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 took the stage in Woolsey Hall to a loud roar of applause. Clad in one of her signature pantsuits, Clinton — who came to campus this weekend to attend the Yale Law School Alumni Weekend — addressed a packed auditorium of thousands of students and alumni, speaking about her memories of Yale as a law student and her vision for America’s socioeconomically disadvantaged youth. While at Yale, Clinton accepted the YLS Alumni Association’s award of merit, which is given to a distinguished YLS graduate or faculty member each year. Starting with her arrival at YLS in 1969, Clinton led the audience through the story of how her experiences in law school would eventually lead to her career in public service. She recalled first arriving on campus in bell-bot-

toms, driving a beat-up car with mattress tied to its roof.

It was a tumultuous time in America, in New Haven and at Yale. HILLARY CLINTON LAW ’73 Former U.S. secretary of state “It was a tumultuous time in America, in New Haven and at Yale,” she said. “We had a lot of late-night heated arguments over the future of the country.” Clinton highlighted the invaluable lessons she learned in New Haven outside of the classroom by speaking about her time working at the Yale Child Study Center and shadowing child abuse cases at the Yale-New Haven Hospital. These experiences led her to a long-term, SEE CLINTON PAGE 4

Journalist ordeal put to bed BY ISAAC STANLEY-BECKER STAFF REPORTER Eight days after she was arrested for trespassing at Yale, Brazilian journalist Claudia Trevisan was cleared of all charges at a Friday hearing and assured that the incident will be erased from her criminal record. Trevisan, a Washington, D.C.-based correspondent for O Estado de S. Paulo, was arrested on Sept. 26 after entering the Commons Rotunda in hopes of tracking down Brazilian Supreme Court President Joaquim Barbosa, who was par-

ticipating in a Yale Law School seminar on the second floor of the building. She was handcuffed and taken in a paddy wagon to the New Haven Police Department, where she was locked up for three and a half hours before being released at the request of Yale Law School Dean Robert Post LAW ’77. Though she maintains she was arrested without cause and subject to mistreatment by Yale Police officers, Trevisan said she is satisfied with the dismissal of the charges and will not seek further action against the University.

“I’m not interested in being wrapped up in a court case that could go on for months,” Trevisan said. “I have no interest in taking any action against Yale or the police.” Following her release, Trevisan said she feared the arrest would continue to haunt her, complicating her ability to renew her work visa and reside in the United States, where she arrived just two months ago after a five-year stint reporting in China. But Friday’s hearing in New Haven Superior Court assuaged that fear, as it formally closed

the case and confirmed that the State would not prosecute for criminal trespassing.

I’m not interested in being wrapped up in a court case that could go on for months. CLAUDIA TREVISAN Correspondent, O Estado de S. Paulo “When I ask for a visa, I

need to say whether I was ever arrested,” Trevisan said. “And I was worried at first I would have to answer ‘Yes.’” Trevisan’s lawyer, Westport-based attorney Stephen Nevas, said the Supervisory Assistant State’s attorney David Strollo declined to prosecute at the behest of the University. The record of the arrest will therefore be erased, pursuant to Connecticut statute that permits criminal expungement if charges are dropped or a case is otherwise dismissed, Nevas SEE JOURNALIST PAGE 6
