How on earth can Yale shut down tailgating at The Game at halftime? The Yale Bowl only holds 64,000 fans, and there are usually another 50,000 outside who never go in. I certainly agree that it's a good idea to cut down on the binge drinking, but the way to do that is to stop allowing the undergraduate colleges to bring moving vans full of kegs and hard liquor, not to kick out the wealthy alumni and their beautiful, elaborate tailgates (Gilmore Girls didn't cover the half of it). I'm really mad, especially since I'm finally getting to go back to The Game this year. I probably won't be able to get a ticket inside, but I could've spent a lovely afternoon catching up with old friends in the golden autumn light outside the stadium. Instead, we'll be forced to retreat to Anna Liffey's or, goodness help us, Richter's. Darn you, Betty!(This gorgeous photo is part of a series by Arnold Gold, who holds the copyright on it. You can see more of "Yale in Light and Shadow" here. If you have a lot more disposable income than the average graduate student, you can also buy limited edition prints from the AYA. My favorite in the series is the second photo, of SSS 114, which was the first classroom in which I was ever a teaching assistant and learned that I wanted to be a teacher by watching Mary Habeck deliver incredible lectures on American military history. I adore this photo, Mr. Gold. Please don't sue me for promoting your work.)
