Second Career Student
Meeting: You
might be a 2nd career student if: 1. You realize that all of the work you did
in your previous life is useless in interpreting Bart and Rahner; 2. You can
sing the Brady Bunch song from beginning to end; 3. The description baby boomer
or greatest generation applies to you; 4. The last paper you typed with
footnotes before div school was on a type writer and involved a card catalog; 5.
Friends oscillate between incredulity and admiration at this path you are now
on; 6. You can relate to Kathy Bates in "Fried Green Tomatoes" when
she says to some young women before she smashes into their car, “I'm older and
I'm better insured,” 7. You find yourself referring to "your other life.” If any or all of these things apply to you
then we have a group for you. Come to the Commuter Lounge on Tuesday, September 25 or Wednesday, September 26 from
The
LGBTQA Coalition and Presbyterian & Reformed Seminarians invite the YDS community
to a conversation with Michael Adee,
National Field Organizer for More Light Presbyterians, a group working for the
full inclusion of LGBTQ folk in the life and leadership of the church, on Friday, September 28,
Buy a School Ring: Want to commemorate your
time at YDS with something permanent and stylish? Not interested in getting a
tattoo for that purpose? A
representative from the Jostens Ring company will be in the Common Room on Wednesday, 9/26, from 11-3, getting
sizes and taking orders. Stop by and say
hi if you're interested.
Free Books! Experience the thrill of shopping for books,
without the financial burden of paying for them (note: this does not advocate
stealing from the bookstore)! Thanks to
a generous donation by a local Union Theological
Seminary alum, there are loads of free books currently housed on the bench
outside Dale Peterson's office (N117). Come by and get your pick while they are
still here.
Yale Cabaret is up and
running! It is with tremendous pride
that we write to you on the 40th anniversary of Yale Cabaret! Since 1968, the
students of Yale School of Drama (YSD) have been producing groundbreaking work
for the New Haven/Yale community. This season marks a major milestone in our
history and we can't wait to share it with you!
And what better way to kick off our season than with
two special events celebrating the spirit of irreverence and invention? For more information, visit www.yale.edu/cabaret. We look forward to celebrating with you.

Needed/Lost and Found:
Lost Rain Coat; In the frenzy of the rain
storm last week, I left my rain coat on the coat hangers by the main
entrance. I returned there to retrieve
it only to discover that it is no longer there.
I am hopeful that someone grabbed it on accident or someone picked it up
for me. In either case, if you have it
or know where it wandered off to please email me. It is a black, front zip, waterproof, Marmot
jacket. It was a gift to me and I would
very much like to continue using it. Peace,
Signatures Needed: The President of the United
Church of Chirst, Rev. John H. Thomas and other church leaders have written a
pastoral letter against the war in
http://www.ucc.org/news/significant-speeches/a-pastoral-letter-on-the-iraq.html
To
sign the pledge go to http://www.ucc.org/100kforpeace/
Thank
you for your attention!
Lots of Stuff Needed: As you might have noticed,
YDS is the awesomest place ever. You
might have also noticed that YDS is becoming increasingly aware of its
potential for environmental goodness. Last year the YECC (Yale Earth Care Committee)
did a kitchenware drive and we received a tremendous amount of donations that
have been lovingly used by us all. These
items have been used extensively throughout the year for community dinners, for
coffee hour (many, many, many thanks to Micah "the Muffin Man" Luce),
and in the refectory by many of our coolest and most pulchritudinous (GRE word)
students. By using and donating these items, you not only save the planet, but
you also save YDS money! This year we
strive to go even further in making YDS a greener, happier, less wasteful, and
more economical place (Micah is saving approximately one million dollars per
year in paper cup expenses). So, please,
if you have any extra of the following, we would love to have it: mugs, cups,
silverware, plates, bowls, serving spoons, forks, knives, dish towels, dish
soap, sponges, kitchen cleaning sprays (we need lots of these—any kind will
do!), etc….really anything you can think of!
Please leave all donated items in, near, on, beneath, behind, in front
of, or next to the "cardboard box of love" that is in the Common Room. PS. Please
feel free to use the items in the kitchen instead of using refectory disposables!
For example, don't use a plastic fork to eat your lunch...take a metal one from
the student kitchen and eat your way to a better planet. Then, like a good
citizen, wash your fork, clean up your mess, and return the fork to where you
found it. You'd be amazed at what a difference we can make! Sincerely, The Yale
Earth Care Committee
Housing:
Roommate Needed: If there's anyone looking to
rent a room at this time of year... I'm looking for a roommate! Room available in a two-bedroom townhouse in
Prospect Gardens across the street from YDS, hardwood floors, big windows,
treed views, renovated bathroom, lots of storage in basement, tenant need only
furnish bedroom. 500$/month
utilities incl. If you're
interested please email me for more info and pictures: sarah.stewart-kroeker@yale.edu

mechanic) the price is now $1300 or best offer.
