This week, Columbia Prison Divest is holding a Week of Engagement along with several other schools throughout the country.  From Monday to Friday, CPD will be holding events in a variety of locations around Columbia in order to publicize their cause and to talk about the issues surrounding mass incarceration. Earlier this semester, a group of […]

Monday’s SGA meeting was cut really short due to Passover this week, but Barnard Bureau Chief Lauren Beltrone was there anyways to keep you in the loop. Before delving into the real stuff, here’s a reminder to vote (again) on my.barnard.edu today. Probably because too many Barnard students were having separation anxiety and didn’t successfully […]

…and it’s on this kid’s sneakers!  In case your eyes don’t have the zooming power of a microscope, these rad kicks read “Columbia 2017” near the heel.  We can only hope there’s some sort of irony involved. New spring fashion?

So you probably missed the blood moon last night (like we did), but you can still check out some awesome pictures (and find out what a blood moon actually is). (Space) Former Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi is sentenced to a year of community service for his crimes, which for some reason sounds kind of comical to us. […]

We’ve been receiving several tips over the last week or two about a possible “Columbia/Barnard Tinder” site, Spark@CU, so we decided to investigate. Some of you may have received emails from Spark@CU similar to those sent out by DateMySchool last year, such as this one: Subject line: Spark@CU Hey there! We have exciting news for you. […]

Lost Maui Jim sunglasses at Bacchanal. They are aviators with a brown frame. Also lost one Tory Burch flip flop (all black with tory burch design on front). Reward will be given if either of these are found (a big one). Please email lostleatherjacket12@gmail.com if found. I would really really appreciate it!

Now that Bacchanal is over we feel it is our duty to tell you all the other things that have happened.  The following is a collection random snippets, photos and tips that we’ve received over the past few days.Oh, and then there are those prospies and their shenanigans.  Prospies make people not so prosperous: “Two […]

This afternoon, the 2014 winners of the Pultizer Prize were announced here at Columbia University in Pulitzer Hall. Noted winners include the journalists who led the exposure of the U.S. government secret surveillance aided by Edward Snowden. Boston Globe grabbed an award for their coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing. Also, the international reporting by […]

Fall registration is upon us, so we’ve compiled a set of classes that are probably awesome but are definitely oddly-titled. We’re almost certain they have an ambiguous practical application.  That said, it’s a privilege to attend a university that can offer such amenities as wild classes for its undergrads, and if we can’t take them, […]

CCSC this week was all about transparency.  So we present to you this article in the most transparent way, with as little commentary as possible.  It was written by CCSC correspondent Joe Milholland.  At Sunday night’s Columbia College Student Council meeting, the council had a discussion about student representatives on academic committees, particularly the Committee […]

Rather than running for office, it seems many former Obama aides are going into consulting… Looks like the President uses CCE too much. (NYT) In light of the recent events around “Heartbleed,” the President has failed to call for full disclosure on security exploits made available to various Executive Agencies.  (Wikipedia, Al-Jazeera America) James Franco […]

Remember that time during Lupe’s set when he pretty much called us out on our drama and supported conflict resolution between Israelis and Palestinians (and the US?) In case you were too drunk and blacked out at this point in the show, Lupe brought up three students—one holding a Palestinian flag and one holding an […]

Friday night, CU Players continued their production of Next Fall that ran from Thursday through Saturday. To see what the play was all about, Avid Acting Admirer Ali Sawyer went out to Friday night’s performance and reports on how it went. Featuring talk of (abandoned) yoga mats, gayness, hypochondria, and religion, the topics of Next […]
