Quote of the week
"It’s Monday morning. You are in a seminar with 20 classmates, half men, half women. In the past week, about six of them have had sexual intercourse. The same goes for oral sex." - YDN
The week's "Top" stories
Oh wait, sorry, that was from an article in the YDN two years ago...
Actually, our bad, we read that in the Herald last semester...
OK, we kid. You probably didn’t fill out the creeptser survey last week sent out to all Yale undergraduates about how often you get off, but 1,700 people did! We would break down the results for you, but we still can't figure out how to read the graphic that accompanied them - or maybe we're just so mersmerized by how pretty the graphs look that we can't really get any further than that.
But we assure you that the results are juicy, if not downright mind-blowing: "Many Yale students liberally engage in behaviors such as making out, giving or receiving oral sex, and having intercourse." Of course, none of these Yalies could be in relationships, right? That would be even more mind-blowing!
No, this is not about the proposed measure to ban students under the age of 21 from going to Toad’s. It’s about the police raiding the New Haven favorite on Saturday night. The last time this happened was in 2001, and 87 patrons were detained. As an eloquent Quinnipiac student put it: "I was dancing, having a good time, and now I'm not."
Thank god. Horde is atrocious. As part of Google Apps for Education, the University has decided to retire Horde in favor of Gmail. The new system will be in place by the time the class of 2014 steps on campus in the fall. It's about time; peer Ivies Brown and Cornell already do it! Upperclassmen will have the choice to stay with Horde if they want...but if anyone does, we expect to see a front-page story about it in next year's YDN.
The Week's Most Discusssed
Yalies, under the covers garnered some highly entertaining comments on the YDN website. Our favorite:
"Interesting. According to the data you posted, it looks as though Yalies have become more chaste than when I was an undergrad in the early '80s."
Now that's breaking news.

Everything is Seemingly Spinning out of Control
Correction of the Week
The graphic associated with "Yale, under the covers" mistakenly reproduced the data for males who have masturbated as the data for males who have made out in the past week. (YDN print edition, Feb. 9)
why does noted literally only cover the YDN?
