It serves as a review of YCC’s past year, highlighting the initiatives we’ve tackled and those that are still in progress. In addition to increasing YCC’s transparency, we hope the report is also a useful tool for YCC Boards to come. The lack of institutional memory traditionally present in the organization will hopefully be mitigated by this comprehensive report. Through the course of the year, we think the YCC has become a more transparent, accessible, and effective organization and a conduit for broad-based policy changes. Our council has tackled everything from dining reform – the addition of meal options during Thanksgiving break, the creation of $7 meal deals at Durfee’s, keeping dining halls open later to compensate for the closing of Commons during dinner – to technological improvements –Bluebook by YCC, HackYale, and email notifications for grades being posted on SIS. We have also worked with numerous organizations and Yale departments to create lasting institutional change, successfully lobbying the political science and history departments to create Sophomore Seminars and getting our proposal for the expansion of Gender-Neutral Housing approved by Dean Miller, President Levin and the Yale Corporation.

    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.

Marshall Bartholomew ’07s, in his unpublished manuscript A History of Music at Yale, remarked ‘the male quartet became a regular feature of Yale Glee Club concerts soon after the Civil War.’ 2 Even before the first Yale Glee Club was formed, close harmony had made its appearance on the Yale campus, as he records: In 1856, for example, there were informal singing groups which took fanciful titles unto them- selves, as similar groups do at present [the 1950s].We find the Beethoven Bummers - evidently pok- ing fun at the more serious Beethoven Society; also there were the Owls and the Four Sharps. 3 This tradition continued into the 1880s with other groups including the Midnight Caterwaulers of 1870 (a quintet), the Sing- 1 WHIFFENPOOF PRE-HISTORY yale glee club of 1865 ing Club of 1872 (a quartet), the Crows of 1872 (an octet), and the Offenbachanal- ORIGINS ians of 1874 (a quartet).

  • 2014 Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Message Overseas
    My warmest greetings to the organizers, partners, nominees, and recipients of the Year 2014 Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Message Overseas. The Philippines now enjoys its rightful place in the global community due to our determination to seize all opportunities for growth, uplift lives, and help restore the Filipino’s distinction in this highly competitive climate. It has been four years since we began to transverse the straight and righteous path, and we have come far: Change has indeed set in. We have regained our people’s confidence in our bureaucracy and institutions; we have endeavored to establish the necessary reforms to empower our citizenry; and we have transformed our country from the “Sick Man of Asia” into one of the top performing economies in the world. We have achieved all these because of our solidarity towards equitable progress, ensuring that, as we move forward, no man is left behind. This is why we in government promote volunteerism and social corporate responsibility: To cascade the benefits of our socio-economic programs to the grassroots level and enable more of our countrymen, especially the poor, to lead dignified lives. I join the Commission on Filipinos Overseas as you hold this search to pay tribute to Filipino individuals and organizations that have contributed greatly to Philippine development initiatives and have served the interests of Filipino communities overseas. I congratulate your BENIGNO S. AQUINO III Lingkod sa Kapwa Pilipino, Kaanib ng Bayan, Banaag, The President of the Philippines and Pamana ng Pilipino Awardees as well, for your efforts to better the conditions of our kababayans here in the Philippines and abroad, and represent the Filipino MANILA talent and industry in your adoptive homelands.
