III. Yale Dramat Presents Roger and Hammerstein's Carousel
Music by Richard Rodgers
Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Directed by Rick Joyce
Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 8 PM
Thursday, Nov. 19 at 8 PM
Friday, Nov. 20 at 2 PM and 8 PM
Saturday, Nov. 21 at 8 PM
University Theater, 222 York St
Rogers and Hammerstein's masterwork Carousel confronts a world of dizzying possibilities and far-reaching consequences. In an isolated Maine village, reckless carnival barker Billy Bigelow and young millworker Julie Jordan are drawn into an impulsive love affair that soon spins out of control. As Billy and Julie are forced to face adulthood head-on, they confront the stark reality underneath the swirling colors of the carnival. In this harsh and uncompromising world, what does it then mean to get a second chance?
Tickets $6 for students, $12 for adults; reserve at dramat.tix.com
******************************************************************
IV. If you're not feeling well and think you have the "Flu" ...
There are now disposable thermometers on each floor of Swing by the elevators and in the Girls and Boys FroCos' suites. Please take one if you think you have a fever!
If you have the "Flu," please DO NOT leave your room; call the YUHS Flu Line or the Morse College Master's Office if you have any questions, concerns, or if you need anything. Thank you for your cooperation in trying to keep Morse healthy!
Please call YUHS Flu Line at 1-866-924 YALE (9253).
They will discuss your symptoms and tell you if you need to be seen.
You can get more information on the following website:

******************************************************************
V. Changes to Dialing Mode
As of this past Saturday, all local calls now require dialing an area code. To make a local call from any Yale phone, dial 9 + area code + local number. To make a long distance call dial 9 + 1 + area code + number. There will be no changes to the dialing process for calling internal Yale numbers (432-, 436-, 737-, 785-, 764-). You will continue to dial 5-digits (2-XXXX, etc.) .
Note that all local calls made from home or cell phones will also require the area code.
******************************************************************
VI. Grocery Shopping Over Thanksgiving Break
If you're going to be staying here over Thanksgiving Break and want to do some grocery shopping (to Shaws, etc), Morse will have collapsible grocery carts available for you to borrow. Drew Teer will be the Master's Aide staying here, so he will be in charge of the grocery carts.

The conference will take place on the 6th of November on Yale Campus. It will consist of two Keynote speakers, the first being Fadi Ghandour of Aramex and the second being Habib Haddad, founder of Yamli.com.
