Why, look, the Spec has a new set of columnists! Hoping to end the association of the Spec opinion pages and giant penises are:
- Monday: Eric Hirsch (CC ’09, former associate editor of AdHoc), Philip Petrov (CC ’09, literary editor of The Current)
- Tuesday: MaryAlice Parks (CC ’09, member of CUPlayers and a coordinator of Artists Reaching Out), Tiara Winter-Schorr (GS ’10)
- Wednesday: Lauren Salz (BC ’11, CUGOP Executive Director), joint column by Roosevelt Institution members Adrian Haimovich (SEAS ’10) and Vedant Misra (CC ’09)
- Thursday: Christopher Morris-Lent (CC ’09, former Bwog writer), Jon Hollander (CC ’10, and one of three returning columns, along with Lauren Salz and the joint Redburn/Leonard column)
- Friday: Joint column by former Dems members Kate Redburn and Sarah Leonard (both CC ’10), former Spec editorial board member Daniel D’Addario (CC ’10)
Among the non-returnees are CCSC VP for Policy Adil Ahmed and crowd favorite Anthony Kelley. The competition for most QuickSpec links begins next week.

@news... I’m sure this is old news to everyone by now, but it hasn’t been covered here yet. Very soon, perhaps as early as next week, Barack Obama will act to repeal the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy. Now, those who don’t want the ROTC will need to find another excuse…
@bleh eh salz. not a fan.
@redburn/leonard yeah! i wouldn’t say they were uninformed at all, and they never claim to be experts. opinions are kind of the point of columns on the *op*-ed page, no?
alexi was spectacular. why is he not returning? WHY?
@crap They are usually very critical of people/organizations, without doing any kind of homework about them. They usually end up falling flat on their faces. If you’re going to write a column, do some basic homework.
@huzzah yay for CML!!!
@well I for one am a fan of Maryalice Parks. Looking forward to it.
@Wait, no Dan Blank? I liked his column. :(
@A&E Dan Blank writes a column for the A&E page, not the opinion page.
@HOLY CRAP NO ANTHONY KELLY OMG!!!
@Anonymous Philip’s actually on Monday
@James Fixed – thanks!
@if... 8 of you were dropped, why was Lauren Salz kept on?
@former columnist so something like 8 of us were dropped. what’s up with that?
not bitter, just curious.
@well Isn’t it likely that a lot of people just didn’t re-apply?
@hurrah! adrian is going to be awesome for the wednesday column. vedant will unfortunately bring it down.
@hey step off. vedant is the man. i’m looking forward to his column.
@ups and downs Petrov = good and funny
Salz = WTF?!?11?!!1
@kelley sigh. i heard he didn’t apply.
@Yay!! Eric is baller!!!
@congrats! Phil Petrov got a column?!?! How will the Spec opinion page handle the awesomeness?!?!?
@Anonymous didnt Dan D’Addario used to write for bwog too? ah yes, fond memories of that loser
@NOOO why CML? why? why?
@Count our blessings no Anthony Kelley.
@looks pretty terrible. did not many ppl apply?
@Yep That’s probably what happened. This is going to be a shit show.
@no one reads spec anymore at least, not seriously. so why apply?
@great reporting not.
@what are the columns about? Titles? Link anyone?
@Ha, i get it. Columnists. picture of a column.
I hope you’re proud of yourself, bwog.
@AHH please fix the font changes
@eek second!
@Mr. Shaw Alexi was the best last semester. no one else even came close.
@nooooo PLEASE NOT REDBURN/LEONARD! Take your poorly informed, high-strung articles and shove them!
@hell no watch your kate and sarah bashing
@I guess you’ve never read their articles.
@Eeeee!!! hirsch is the man.
