The Strong Beautiful Barnard Woman is questioned and found wanting.
Real college life ≠ TV “college life”. Shocker.
Filth in the kitchen is bad. Bureaucracy is worse.
No, we do not need a travel guide to find our way out of Morningside.

A special late night note: Housing Services’s Laundry Fire Experts have issued a diagnosis for the “small fire” that smoked out Quad residents (including SEAS prospies) on Friday night. “The fire was caused by an overload of clothing in one of the dryers. Many of the items in the dryer were synthetic, which compounded the problem. Synthetic articles, like nylon, should never be placed in a high temperature dryer.”
Taking advantage of the email to offer even more safety tips, Housing also reminds LLC residents to “please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on how to properly launder and dry your clothing. Do not place flammable items in the dryers.” And, just to cover all the bases, “please remember to empty the lint screen between each dryer cycle.” You have been warned.
As for the aftermath, “Housing Services has removed all of the machines and is currently working with Facilities to provide the cleanup. The laundry room in Hartley will be closed until Monday, April 27. In the meantime, the laundry room in John Jay Hall is available for use.” At least it’s good exercise! Full email after the jump.
