Are you feeling guilty about taking free food from clubs you have no interest in joining, but still hungry and broke? Head to 229 Thompson Hall in Teachers College this afternoon from 3–4 pm and volunteer to help out at the closing ceremony of Battle of the Books, a program that encourages West Harlem elementary school students to read and compete to see who knows their books better. Today is the championship round, and there will be copious amounts of friendly competition, free food, and feel-good charity! Email amw2152@columbia.edu if you’re planning to attend.

@Anonymous I used to do Battle of the Books. It was awesome.
Now I am a scientist. Funny how that works.
@are you implying that they should be mutually exclusive?
@or instead i think they’re implying that reading as a kid = lifelong smarts.
