@Herald: The online service of The Yale Herald



@Herald this week


For years, Yalies have been yelling at the paper at dinner time. "What a dumb pick!" sports fans would say when one of our sports editors would screw up on our weekly Smack Zone. Well, tough guy, now's your chance to show them who knows sports. Pic k ten games. If you beat out the rest of Yale, then you get to star on the pages of the Herald as the next week's guest in the Smack Zone. Can you handle it? Try it out.

The debut of @Herald Comics, your source for over 50 of your favorite comics, updated every day. We've got everything from Peanuts to Doonesbury to Frumpy the Clown. Yes, Frumpy the Clown .


Expanded Ivy Notebook

The print edition's Ivy Notebook tells you what is going on at other Ivy League schools. On @Herald, our version gives it to you in their own words. Check it out.

Music reviews

Want to buy some music? We've compiled every album review we've ever put online in one convenient index. So be sure to check here before you hop over to Cutler's to pick up Tori Amos' Boys For Pele.

Also, be sure to check out the reviews of the new Lemonheads and Suede albums -- both feature downloadable sound samples that let you hear the music we're writing about.


In the print edition this week

The dead shall be raised



When the dead were moved to Grove Street Cemetery, some were left behind.

See the complete story.




In News: Ralph Nader speaks; Yale and New Haven occasionally have trouble doing just that. Hey! There's an election going on! Students cheat on tests< /A> in California; Peter Dziedzic, ES '99, tries to follow the Democrats into power. Filmmaker Michael Moore supports Yale's unions. And, like an peaceful aspirin after a drunken rage, Around the Globe.


In A&E: Gabriel Brandt took some photos and wants to show them to you. Steve Buscemi made a movie and wants you to see it. A law student wrote a book and wants you to u se it to seduce women. Evan Dando wants to seduce your daughter, while Suede just wants to feel all dramatic about it. Baader Meinhof wants to win the title of best Germanic band name from Einsturzende Neubaten and, of course, Berlin. Glengarry Glen Ross is a play which does not star Al Pacino. The Pope and the Witch is a play that does not star the Pope. Opera? Film? Perhaps. Minor Threats -- certainly.


In Sports: Volleyball lets the competition come to them in a weekend of big matches; football has fallen and can't get up; Sarah Holley thinks HIV shouldn't s top athletes from competing; women's soccer tangles with URI; we predict another Bulls win in this NBA season; Rosie Wustrack is the Athlete of the Week; and, yeppe rs, Smack Zone!


In Opinion: Heather Hammer psychoanalyzes Halloween; Ilan Mochari waxes eloquent on pissing in a cup; Alex Zubatov loves eating with a fork; David Oppenheim says (shock!) Bill Clinton might win; Laura Siegel thinks people don't understand love; Daniel Gottlieb thinks pot is just too damned expensive; and Justin Roebel thinks math is hard.


In the rest of the paper: Our fiction this week is by Samhain Morales.
