@not necessary harsh, bwog… when I saw your headline I expected the books article to be pretentious bullshit inspired by n+1 written by (another) obnoxious, lit-hum fueled CC first year. What a pleasant surprise to find a cute story by a barnardite with an actual sense of humor (gasp! in spec?!)
@Come on That was terrible. Rather typical of the drivel churned up by the frosh. Bleech. You read books, yay! So does everyone else, now curl up and DIE
@prezbo article Thought the first commenter was very on point. It’s not that these campus organizations are ignored by the administration, they are also largely unsupported by most of the students on campus. If the wares you peddle fail to sell in the free marketplace of ideas, you have to wonder if perhaps it’s not everyone else that’s racist, apathetic, or ignorant, but maybe yourself and your ideas that are wrong.

@Wait... …she came to Columbia… and she READS?
Well, if that isn’t the strangest damn thing I’ve ever heard.
@The namedropping is fine as long as she’s not doing it to be pretentious. I don’t think mentioning Sedaris or a douchebag author counts, so whatev.
@Link the First I always suspected that Stalin was quashing discussion about Islam…
