  • The Odd Couple
    OWEN M. FISS The Odd Couple In June 1988, Bo traveled to Santiago, Chile. The trip was sponsored by the Fulbright Commission and its stated purpose was to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the United States Constitution. Bo was accompanied by Abner Mikva, then a judge on the D.C. Circuit and by William Van Alstyne, a law professor at Duke. In a series of public lectures, Bo described the marvels of our Constitution, though he did so in a way that boldly and bravely discredited the orthodoxy that had long nurtured the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. Later that year, the Chilean people were asked, as their constitution required, to decide if they wanted the General to continue in office. Miracle of miracles, in spite of the all-encompassing power of the dictatorship, the noes won, and then to compound the miracle, Pinochet actually stepped down. In paying tribute to a dear friend, the temptation is great to attribute the collapse of the Pinochet regime to Bo's eloquent defense of democracy. But that would be too much, even for me. I mention Bo's trip to Santiago because it marked the beginning of a new phase in our relationship -a phase that lasted for more than twenty-five years and ended only this past August on his death. Bo and I had known each other for ages. We met in Washington in the mid-196os. Bo had just finished a clerkship with Chief Judge David Bazelon, famous for his rulings on the insanity defense, and he had just begun to work for Senator Joseph Tydings, a leading sponsor of the measure that would eventually become the Civil Rights Act of 1968.

  • Campus Shuttles Shawn Luciani, JE ‘20 Ryley Constable, MY ‘21
    Yale College Council Campus Shuttles Shawn Luciani, JE ‘20 Ryley Constable, MY ‘21 January 2018 Report on Shuttles 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction…………………………………………………………….…………….….…………………………………………….3 Background………………………………………………….……….....……………………………………………………………3 Peer Institutions……...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….4 Data Analysis……..……………...……………………………….………………………….............................................5 Recommendations…………………….…………………………………………….……………………………………………8 Report on Shuttles 3 INTRODUCTION Yale’s two new residential colleges and the expected 800-student increase in the undergraduate population served as the impetus for YCC’s review of the Yale Shuttle System. We have determined areas for shuttle improvement related to both these new factors and persistent prior problems. Specifically, students in the new colleges have expressed dissatisfaction with overcrowding on the Red Line. There is overwhelming interest among these students in adding a line specifically to replace the half-mile walk between Old Campus and the new colleges. To combat overcrowding, the Red Line shuttles should increase in size. In order to accommodate larger buses, the Red Line could shift its route to wider, more compatible streets throughout New Haven. Additionally, STEM students have consistently voiced frustration in finding reliable nighttime transportation back to the central undergraduate campus. They cite issues with nighttime shuttles, including reliability and timeliness. A proper solution to this would include identifying peak times of need for STEM students and supplying more shuttles at these times. On the whole, this report aims to examine the most pressing needs for the student body in regards to the shuttle system. The Fall 2017 Survey and YCC Focus Groups have indicated that students, on the whole, could benefit from adjustments to the shuttle routes that give more options to accommodate both students in STEM and students who live in the new residential colleges, Benjamin Franklin and Pauli Murray.
