Our condolences to those spending their summers on campus
If you haven’t already realized (and if you haven’t…did you get lost in your copy of Infinite Jest? Are you putting in too many hours at your JP Morgan summer internship?), it’s July! Before you drink yourself into a coma this holiday weekend (please don’t…ugh…you don’t live in Carman anymore), try to clear your head of its summer haze and catch up on what’s going down in MoHi. Here’s what you may have missed in May and June (as far as Columbia is concerned):
- Nayla Kidd, the SEAS sophomore who went missing at the beginning of May and was later found in Brooklyn, wrote a piece for the NY Post on why she had to “escape” Columbia and “disappear.”
- Everyone’s favorite bar during NSOP, Cannon’s, has officially closed. Apparently “The Last Hurrah” was fun?
- Maggie the Magnolia Tree is most likely dead. We wrote her a eulogy.
- PrezBo loves the sound of his own voice and released a statement in response to the Fisher v. University of Texas ruling.
- A General Studies student ran/danced around Times Square naked yesterday morning.
- Another (former) General Studies student joined ISIS…and then asked the FBI to rescue him. (Washington Post)
- In sportball news: CU Baseball players Will Savage and George Thanopoulos were picked in the MLB Draft. Former Columbia swimmer Kate Meili is going to the Olympics. Maodo Lo is playing in the NBA Summer League for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Scenes from MoHi (we don’t wish you were here):
-
- 116th & Claremont
-
- 116th & Riverside
-
- Engineering at work.
-
- Messy CU bookstore (in more ways than one: apparently it is prominently displaying the ’50 Shades’ Trilogy)
-
- The beginnings of a new Barn Lib
Summertime Notes from the Field:
- Got in a car accident–oops!
- Started Infinite Jest.
- Got harassed by a dude at the club–he put his necklace in my bag, Facebook friended me, then demanded the necklace back the next day.
- Spent several hours going through old photos; realized that I will never again produce art as great as the photos I took of my sister in 2005.
- I, too, started Infinite Jest.
- Went for a hike in the woods of NH and got so lost we had to call the police.
- Got asked to the ballet by an NYU professor.
- Did not start Infinite Jest.
- Placed bets on Brexit happening and won good money. Afterward, I laughed at people who told me I would lose money.
- Spent an entire workday highlighting Excel spreadsheets.

@Manuel The new medical school building, nursing school building, Jerome L Greene Science Building, and the Lenfest Center for the Arts are all nearing completion this summer. The Academic Conference Center has started construction.
@The biggest thing Is that health services stopped having tampons and pads
@Anonymous The health service provides free tampons, pads and toilet paper.

@Anonymous “Got harassed by a dude at the club–he put his necklace in my bag, Facebook friended me, then demanded the necklace back the next day.”
why did you steal his necklace?
@Anonymous Because she wanted to point out that a person on this earth finds her attractive, or more likely, wanted a warm hole. And then she proceeded to be a dick to him because she’s more valuable than him. How cool is she!

@Bollinger Is a dirty, greedy gypsy.
If he ONLY paid himself 1 million/yr 50 students could attend columbia for free.
Is Bollinger really worth 10K/day?
Growth of Columbia’s endowment has been pitiful compared to other Ivies. Get the bum out.
