  • The Libertine
    The Libertine Op. 1 No. 1 January 20, 2002 A Message from the Secretary Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Libertine, the all-new-for-’02 whip sheet of your favorite party at Yale. This sheet–now exclusively electronic, to save on photocopying costs–is the witty, stylish, sometimes catty voice of the Liberal Party, a voice which you will note sounds eerily similar to the secretary’s own. Each Sunday, The Libertine will tell you everything that the Libs have planned for the week ahead, inform you of upcoming activism opportunities, and present a host of leftist ideas to chew on. Read it, enjoy it, make suggestions for its improvement, and, above all, come to one of our events! You’re not on this mailing list for nothing, you know. And a quick note about the title: a libertine is a licentious man, a slut, as you already know. But as a second definition the Oxford English Dictionary includes the following: “One who follows his own inclinations or goes his own way; one who is not restricted or confined.” Free-thinking and sexually insatiable: a fitting description if ever there was one. - j.s.f. Goings On in the Liberal Party 21.01.2002 / Monday / all day / Martin Luther King Day celebrations Take advantage of your day off from classes and celebrate Dr. King’s dream and legacy with Yale. Today’s events include a poetry slam, several film screenings, symposia on the civil rights movements, an interfaith service, and a vigil. You can obtain the complete schedule from the Af-Am House’s website.

    Free Speech, Personified Peter Salovey, President, Yale University Submitted to the New York Times; published November 26, 2017 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/26/opinion/free-speech-yale-civil-rights.html In recent months, visitors with controversial views have found themselves disinvited from or unable to speak on American college campuses.
