Juuuuuust right to grace the bums of Columbia students across campus.

Some of the best minds of the University came together for the weekly ESC meeting to discuss toilet paper. Okay, they discussed more than just that… staff writer Rachel will give you the info.

Last night’s ESC meeting was concise and mainly consisted of announcements, with council members speaking on topics such as group adjudication, toilet paper, and the package center.

President Caroline Park met with Vice President for Campus Services Scott Wright to discuss the toilet paper on campus. The toilet paper is currently 2-ply and recycled, but she says they are working on organizing a “touch test” (which she compared to a taste test for food) of other kinds that are softer (but possibly not recycled paper).

Park is also going to a meeting later in the week to discuss the procedure for group adjudication (the disciplinary process for student groups). In the past, she explained, individuals have gotten in trouble with the university for the actions of an entire student group–something, she said, that “should not be happening.”

VP Policy Meaghan Hurr also spoke about how, as part of one of her Operations Research classes, she and a group of students are looking into how the package center is run. Throughout the semester, she and the others will be receiving data from the center, analyzing it, and potentially making recommendations on ways in which it could improve.

Updates:

• Academic Affairs Representative Luis Rivera says he is looking into course numbering reform. He has also talked with CUIT about using ID scanners for the printers instead of having to type one’s UNI into the computer.
• There is an upcoming engineering career fair on October 23rd.
• The Class of 2016 council reported that Lerner Pub was a success (though they did run out of alcohol), and that Oktoberfest is this Friday at 5pm on the Law Library bridge.
• The Class of 2018 has booked Carleton Commons for their major declaration celebration, which will take place on October 30th.
