FYI Columbia: the promise of wireless rooms may come to fruition–but not without a caveat. Today from 10am to 2pm, CUIT will stop by EC, Harmony, Shapiro and 47 Claremont to review the buildings for potential wireless installations over the summer.
An email from CUIT includes this cryptic message: “Also please be aware that there will be a representative from the Housing department present during the course of this walk through.” So, if you have anything Housing might not want to see out, maybe chuck in it a drawer.
A full list of of things Columbia prohibits and the entire email after the jump.
The no no’s:
- Your own space heater
- Any gigantic container of alcohol (no matter how old you are)
- All alcohol if you are a wee lad or lass (i.e. under 21)
- Halogen lamps
- Airconditioners
- Grills, other than those cute little George Foreman ones
- Steam vaporizers
- Waterbeds (though Bwog’ll give you points for sex-ayness)
- Any cooking appliance being used in your room (just turn it off and you’re golden)
- Your own microwave (not ok under any circumstances. Well, except for all non-fire drill circumstances)
- Pets other than fish and your registered friendly seeing-eye dog
- Gigantic fridges (over 2.5 cubic feet)
- Smoking devices such as a hookah, pipe, or bong that one uses for tobacco
- Weapons of any kind (including martial arts, which is silly)
- Evidence that you are running a business of any kind out of your room
- If you’ve painted your wall or cabinet or anything, even if you intend to repaint it, watch out.
- Illegal substances (Wait, when did this get added?)
The full email:
Dear [Building] Residents,

@hmmm Dwight would take delight at the lack of any specific prohibition against agricultural pitchforks or garden rakes, or 19th century sheep sheering equipment.
@Awesome. When I read “weapons of any kind” I thought of Dwight Schrute hiding his throwing stars and blow guns.
@I make money blogging will they check my computer for my posts or something, epic fail housing. More reason why I want to get out of here.
@Anonymous Evidence that you’re running a business of any kind out of your room? Seriously? That doesn’t make sense.
@Anonymous Don’t forget Schapiro!
