Looking for a platform? QuickSpecking? Hate mail? Your picture in the paper…every week? Apply to be a Spec opinion columnist! Word is they’re making all current talking heads reapply, leaving 10 spots (dubiously) wide open.
“You may propose any beat, including serials and illustrated columns, and while we are not specifically looking for a sex columnist, anyone interested in covering that beat should discuss the importance of a sex column to a college campus in addition to the full column application,” says Opinion Editor Oriana Magnera, whom you should e-mail at oam2106@columbia.edu for an application.

@Got it. The Alumni council will pay someone, perhaps Maureen Dowd, perhaps David Sedaris, to write a column decrying the presence of a college of General Studies on our campus.
The column shall be called Owl Smashing.
@Hows about Hows about a plucky freshman just tryin’ to deal with life in the big city?
@for the love of god NO.
@Okay How about a sex column by a girl who was raised in a really conservative Jewish family?
@How about How about a column about race, perhaps documenting the troubles a young minority would have at a bastion of privilege like Columbia?
@oooooorrr.... Or about being conservative in a bastion of liberalism? Oh wait, Kulawik has a column so I guess that job is taken.
