A Barnard source just confirmed the troubling lice epidemic currently plaguing the 8th floor of Sulzberger hall in the Barnard Quad. Apparently, one first-year had lice and the little bugs quickly migrated into the heads of several other first-year students. Says Steve Tollman, associate director of Res Life at BC:
“Recently, there have been several cases of students with head lice
within the Quad. It’s important to use caution when sharing
clothing, brushes and bedding like pillows and sheets, as this is the
most common way that head lice is spread. Please know that this is
easily treatable. Any student that believes she has head lice or has
been exposed to head lice is encouraged to visit Health Services for
evaluation and treatment.”
Ew, gross me out royal.

@lala omg…if this is the kinda shit that goes on, im not applying to barnard or columbia
@yes. Same thing in physics.
@Actually... as an ELAC major, Barnard and Columbia are totally integrated. Barnard theses are read and graded by Columbia faculty. It could have a lot to do with the fact that there isn’t much of an ELAC department at Barnard, but I just wanted to point that out…
@Well Its pretty pointless if your sense of self-worth derives from the derision of others. That doesn’t say very much about your self-confidence, or your perceived worth, for that matter.
@The real elitist say nothing because we do not need mere words to express our superiority. Our very presence in your sub-standard vicinity immediately and utterly decimates any sense of self-worth you may have accidentally accumulated during the course of your pointless existence.
@it says... 1. that Columbia students are elitist assholes
and
2. that they will always succeed in making Barnard girls feel like shit
@amen amen to that!
@Boring Yes. But, strangely enough, this posting has generated far more response than all of the other recent postings. Now what does that say about us?
@thanks for the disgusting pictures
@head lice? This feels like middle school
@Ha! Ha! Wait, I misread that. What I meant to say was, BOOOOIIIIINNNNGG.
@reply to: all booooooooooooorrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnnnngggggggg
@Ha! Ha! That’s my response to any Barnard girl.
@actually guys Columbia guys and gals have shown themselves to be a whole lot nastier in this comment section. sorry…
@this is not a matter of who is greater (obvs columbia is) but who is nastier and well barnard, you’ve won that title for now. make your nasty girls more hygenic and have them stop walking around naked in their hallways that is just way too gross no one wants to see that
@oh god where is the love.
barnard wouldn’t be so bashed if the students actually took pride in their own school instead of trying to be a part of a different one. there’s nothing wrong with your own school, but we definitely don’t take the same classes and its not the same. by trying to say its the same as a different one you just make it look like you yourself are admitting its not all that good. barnard is a great school, stop being the ones to push it down.
@... …and the Barnard bashing continues. Because bedbugs at Columbia don’t signify anything about the students’ intelligence, but any piece about Barnard necessarily devolves into an “us v. them” contest. Face it- we all take the same classes, and (gasp) all Barnard students aren’t blithering idiots. They might even be doing damn well in your high and mighty Columbia classes. At least this one is.
@any south park fans? it’s all of them.
just quarantine the whole bunch.
relocate to arkansas.
@also oh man, can you imagine being the first-year who started the whole thing? It would be horrible to be remembered throughout college as ‘the headlice girl’
@more also I suppose, however, that would be better than being ‘the crabs girl’ or ‘the AIDS girl’
@I knew it Barnard has cooties!
@hmmm inductive reasoning is predicated on deductive reasoning.
fuck arod for disrespecting the world series with his little opt-out cop-out.
@also nope i refuse to take a barnard course in history or anything for that matter.
the barnard girl in my history of france class is FUCKING ANNOYING. granted, fucking annoying people go to columbia, but in the history department, at least they sound intelligent. the second she opened her voice, i knew she was barnard. promise. we can tell.
@that is bad form, moron. surely you’ve learned the merits of deductive reasoning by now?
@true it was a big mistake taking a barnard history class. the discipline leads itself to a lot of bullshitting in section, so after I few weeks of getting fed up of hearing the girls talk incessantly about nothing, i just stopped showing up. the only reason to do it is for the much easier grade through much easier competition
@um, art history and history, two of the most respected departments at this school, are completely integrated between columbia and barnard.
face it: we’re getting the same education, cockmunchers.
@nope as a history major, i can tell you we’re not completely integrated, considering I took a barnard history class and my advisor refuses to recognize it as counting towards my major
@ART HISTORY & HISTORY. Bahaha that’s the best you could come up with? Those majors scream “if you are a dumbass, pick me”, so I’m not surprised Barnard and Columbia collaborate there.
(Not that all history majors are dumbasses though)
@barnard is disgusting.
@Great As if I needed more reasons not to cross Broadway.
Oh, and

@I'm DEFINITELY too cool to get head from most girls at my school. But, then, I’m in SEAS.
Actually, thinking again, I regret that joke. It might be kind of cool to get head from someone better at math than me.
@cc 09 Yeah, in general I get my rocks off by being blown by girls who are smarter than I am. Alas, it’s rarely math that does the trick. I get blown a lot because of art, although I have fond memories of econ.
@bedbug barnard lice… very nice! bedbug likes! who is wanting to visit schapiro? i can invitate. she can stay my home!

@boomboom lice at barnard + a drunken (or sober) night or two = lice everywhere
@!!!!!!! Even more of a reason to stay away from Barnard head.
@man whatever. either you’re pissed off you can’t get barnard head or you’re just arrogant mr. getsblownalot who thinks he’s too good to get head from girls essentially at his school.
@ugh I hate barnard chicks…
@oh snap Yeah, see, “essentially” at my school isn’t the same as at my school. Face the facts, grotzsky Barnyard bitches, you aren’t welcome here. Stay on your side of the fence, with the muck and the infestations.
@rjt None of the Getsblownalots go here, actually. I know a few who got in, but they all chose state schools.
