The Blue and White’s February/March issue is now online! From the issue:
Columbia and internet start-ups: two tastes that don’t go well together.
Remember, Hitch did go to Columbia…
Memories of far-flung homes, including Jack Daniel’s in Tennessee and guns in San Antonio.
If only bureaucrats liked the idea of going undercover…
And: a church without a neighborhood, two very different campus leaders, and whether you should go to grad school.

@has anyone come across any page errors on columbia’s website?
even http://www.columbia.edu/cuit/
doesn’t work
@... Why are these articles riddled with typos? ugh…
@like what? ????
@well i can’t speak for the other poster but one of the articles i read looked like some of the characters from MS Word hadn’t properly converted over to your online format – can’t seem to find these mistakes so maybe it has already been remedied
@Sadly That should read: “You and 50 other people are competing for the job of your academic advisor.”
@SEAS '09 Ain’t that the truth. Poor humanities grad students. Is there even a solution beyond actively discouraging graduate applicants, or turning all adjunct positions into visiting or assistant professorships?
@SEAS '09 Ah, the “should you go to grad school?” article. I always read these and suck in deep its gloomy message. It’s especially gloomy given that I’m headed into a PhD program this fall. Then I get to the usual last-line caveat of “Of course, the above is all moot if you’re in the sciences, since you’re super employable and not merely being trained to replace your advisor in an academic setting”.
That caveat doesn’t stop me from wondering if I should doubt what I’m getting myself into. Reading PhD Comics does not help much either.
@... i was reading phd comics once, then i saw my friends name on a fake paper in one. i asked him about it and he said he shared an office with jorge cham while he was in grad school!
@phd comics is the best.
