In a recent Times article, Professor Andrew Delbanco, who has had a lot to say about education as […]

Today’s Spec is all about reliving the biggest hits of 2001-2002. For Morningside Heights and Mary J. Blige, it’s still a family affair. It looks like seniors will need Pink‘s help to get the party started. Columbia professors say, when it comes to intellectual property rights, just push play. You should turn off the lights […]

Yesterday, we noted that the 2008-09 housing cutoffs remained unposted, and shared our skepticism that they’d be up in time for the start of registration tomorrow. Credit where credit is due, though: Housing called our bluff, and the housing cutoffs are now posted.  As for what the numbers say: Broadway exterior singles and Ruggles were […]

Earlier today when the entire senior class opened an email entitled �How to increase the value of your diploma and not spill your beer,� they found a link to a most ridiculous YouTube video produced by Senior Fund.

Just a few days after the start of the beloved ESC festival of waterguns, over one third of the agents have been officially as dead as Empanada Joe’s, and CUAssassins is starting to get nasty.  Less violent but just as serious as the war in the street is the competition between killers for the best […]

– Photo by LDP It seems that Nussbaum will not be accepting your CUID as payment for breakfast this morning, so best go start looking for that 5-spot in your other jeans.  According to the nice people behind the counter, this was not an act of Flex-deserting a la everywhere else, but a simple case […]

Wow, this theatre is beautiful. It kind of reminds me of the Great Depression. Wow, you mean there are actually “recession specials” being offered at local stores and restaurants? In my day we had to hike 15 miles in the snow to the nearest Walmart for those special prices. Remember what your life was like […]
