@Anonymous > why was a 68 yr old alumni still occupying a columbia-owned apartment?
Rent control laws from the 1960’s.
@Anonymous columbia students have the hardest time looking for housing..
why was a 68 yr old alumni still occupying a columbia-owned apartment?
@alumnus CU reserves housing for alumni? How do I get in on this?
@oh no was this Klaus? :O he graduated with a masters in 64.
i talked to him randomly on the street once..
@CC'14 As someone who applied to Columbia believing my degree would enable me to cheat death, I find this very disturbing.
@Anonymous I’m astonished that with all our science and technology, the world death rate is still 100%.

Bwog, front page NYT…and some more details about the drug ring
@BC '13 I know this is completely inappropriate because this is a really serious Bwog post, but re: the C5 link…EPIC LOLZ ABOUT THE MISTER SOFTEE GUY
@alumnus A bit before your time, but look up afroman on youtube.
@BC '13 yeeeah, I’m pretty sure everyone knows the song “because I got high”….regardless of how “before our time” it might be
@To alum @alum
He died in a Columbia building. That makes it special.
@Anonymous So Columbia alums that die in non-Columbia owned buildings are not special. Got it.
@Is there any free food on campus?
@alum No offense, but why is this news? Alums pass away all the time.
@bc mysterious presence of cops and campus security across from Watt
@Anonimis Pretty young to die of natural causes. Sounds fishy.
@CC2011 assuming he graduated at 22, the guy was 68. thats not fishy. RIP.
@God have mercy on his soul.
@Anonymous If he’s unidentified how do they know he was a Columbia Alumnus from the Class of 1964?
@like unidentified as in, they haven’t announced his name publicly. obviously they know who he is.
@and RIP
