A message from Campus Safety: The CT Department of Public Health has lifted the “boil water advisory” for all affected regions after recent tests have met water quality standards. In the near future, officials will be conducting the seasonal flushing of the public water supply system. As a result of these operations, the water may be cloudy or discolored, but this temporary condition does not pose a health hazard. For more information, visit www.theMDC.com. Rejoice! I hope this means ice cream in Mather again. –Adam
An email from campus safety:
“The CT Department of Public Health has issued a “boil water notice” for the City of Hartford and surrounding towns after microorganisms were found in the public water supply. These microorganisms are not harmful to humans and do not cause any known health effects in drinking water. However, as a precautionary measure, officials are advising the following until further notice:
Do not drink water directly from the tap or a water fountain.
Those with access to a kitchen may boil water for one minute before drinking.
Routine water use (such as showering, hand washing, brushing of teeth, and the washing of clothing and dishes) is fine without boiling the water.
Chartwells is aware of this situation and the staff is adjusting their food preparation procedures as necessary.
For more information, visit the CT Public Health website (http://www.ct.gov/dph) and their FACT SHEET (http://www.ct.gov/dph/cwp/view.asp?a=3139&q=438906).”
Check your Trinity email for more updates from Campus Safety on this matter.

Where do you get your drinking water? Do you buy it bottled or do you turn on the tap?
Paul Riendeau, CET, CIT, of the New England Water Works Association, will be speaking this Friday, April 24th at 5:00 p.m. in McCook Auditorium about the virtues of tap water v. bottled water.
It should be an interesting and thought-provoking discussion. We look forward to having you join us!
Just to let everyone know, the Budget Committee has allocated all of its funds for this year so we will not be meeting anymore this year.

Sonali Chakravarti
Ann Plato Fellow in Political Science and Human Rights
A graduate of Swarthmore College, Sonali Chakravarti received her Ph.D. from Yale in 2008. Her dissertation was entitled, “Anger, Resentment, Despair: On the Political Philosophy of Truth Commissions” and her research interests include transitional justice, critical theory, and the role of emotions in politics.
The Ann Plato Post-Doctoral One-Year Diversity Fellowship: The Ann Plato Fellow joins the faculty in one of 30 academic departments or interdisciplinary programs, interacting regularly with colleagues and students on campus, while working on their own research. Post-doctoral fellows teach two courses during the year. The fellowship is named for Ann Plato, a 19th-century author and teacher of African American and Native American descent, who lived and wrote in Hartford. She was the second woman of color in the United States to publish a book, and the first to publish a book of essays and poems (1841).
All are cordially invited to attend the lecture and reception immediately following.
Full election results data will be available in The Tripod this Tuesday, and on TrinTV on or after Tuesday night.
Interesting results–check them out on Tuesday!

Hey folks fyi there is now an SGA Facebook group you can check out and join, the full title is “My SGA: A Group for Trinity Students.” Thanks to Malcolm Brown (newly elected VP of MAC) for thinking of this idea and bringing it to the ERC Committee.
Most of the info in the My SGA group actually posts links bringing you back here to the SGA Website. The Facebook group doesn’t replace this website, but supports it. While you can get quick info, RSVP to SGA events, and post on the Wall, these sorts of things can also be done on the Website (e.g. Did you know anyone can post on this Blog? It’s easy!) So, join My SGA but don’t forget that the Website is where all the action is!!
Stay connected, everybody.
