Sean Zimmermann reports from last night’s ESC meeting. A intro programming course, ENGI E1006, will be added next fall. The class will replace COMS W1004 as the fundamental intro programming course for 11 of the 16 engineering departments, starting next fall. Unlike W1004, the class will be taught in the python programming language instead of […]

Since it’s impossible to force yourself indoors today, here’s an idea for lunch outside! A hungry tipster spotted some Mexican food outside the 115th st. Starbucks. We assume it’s Mexican, at least. It could be Ukranian or something. But it looks delicious. Let us know how it is!

Just in time for the unbelievably warm week, the mysteriously recurring flea market resurfaces on Low steps. Rather than getting annoyed at having to weave through jewelry and dress stands, try appreciating the small, blissful moments of procrastination while strolling to class. We spotted some classic knock-off handbags and necklaces that no doubt have the […]

There’s now a name for the behavior of awkward, anti-social New Yorkers—or at least for one facet of behavior. Have you played sidewalk chicken today? (Gothamist) There are now delightfully invasive photos and a livecam of the baby hawks of Washington Square Park. Now it’s just time to name them! Perhaps not as majestic as […]

Spotted from a side window in Furnald; not even the construction on the facade would wake him.

I left my grey, cylindrical hamper in the Hartley laundry room and when I returned it was gone.  I left it on the washing machine farthest from when you first walk in.  If you have it, please return it, no questions asked.  Email cgs2133@columbia.edu

As we watch prospies consider Columbia during Days on Campus and we begin to reevaluate why we chose college instead of that hippie collective farm in New Zealand, EcoReps has come to save the day, and also more importantly, us from ourselves. After a lot of hard work, and your input, they’ve assembled a new […]

In honor of the annual Days on Campus College Days celebration, the CCSC Campus Life Committee is showcasing various photographs of the Columbia of yesteryear, a screening of Spiderman, and providing tons of free snacks in front of the steps of Low right now. This day really couldn’t have gotten any better. Stop whatever you’re […]

It’s still beautiful out. Why not push your homework off just a little bit longer with the witty and, by now, super tan staff of The Blue and White? We’ll be planning for the final issue, thinking ahead to next year’s stories, and, of course, eating delicious snacks. You’ll find us at our old standby, […]

According to a very diligent tipster, General Selection appointment times have been posted on StarRez! Possible reactions you may choose to display are pictured at right.         Guide to your own face via Wikimedia Commons.

Earlier today, the winners of the 2012 Pulitzer Prizes were announced in Pulitzer Hall (the building formerly known as Journalism). The late Columbia professor Manning Marable won the History prize for his biography of Malcolm X, the same prize that Columbia professor Eric Foner won last year. As expected, the AP reporters who exposed the […]

A tipster spotted this informative slip in a Wien elevator. The tiny piece of paper leaves one enlightened but intrigued– is this some kind of diminutive PSA or social commentary? Or are these just Sparknotes for a Gender Studies major?

Eastern philosophy and Western capitalism clash: Student A: Yeah, I’m taking this East Asian Civ class, we’re learning about Daoism. Student B: Oh, like the Dow Jones? He Who Knows via Wikimedia Commons

Lost on Saturday at Bacchanal. Last seen on Low Steps. Dark blue/black, light, blazer-type jacket. Interior is white background with black polka-dots.  Has sentimental value so will offer monetary reward if returned.  Call 516-263-3818.

You might have enjoyed some nip-slips at Baccha90s this weekend, but watch out when you move off Columbia’s campus. In Utah, you get taxed for showing some skin. (Time) However hard you’ve been trying to do so in your Global Core lecture, you should consider getting bored more often. (The Dish) The cop who pepper-sprayed […]
