The March 2010 issue of CPR is out. You can read it on the aeroplane! Living in New York City is difficult. A day in the life of Harry Reid, forreal. A recent history of the veil… And of the turmoil in Iran.

Blow off some midterm steam and reward yourself with FREE chicken and waffles before you head off for spring break  from 9PM to 11PM in the Hartley Lounge!

Rejoice! The Lerner Hot Dog Machine has been been restocked (though the fact that it came to be “out of product” in the first place is disturbing enough)! You can finally enjoy those wonderful and disturbingly artificial franks once again.

A girl outside Carman, on the phone and seemingly near tears: “I’m just SO stressed and SO nervous that I’ll wind up in a McBain double!”

RoomHop once again with Bwog’s Carolyn Ruvkun to check out this John Jay resident’s epistolary memorabilia.

He salvages his memories with a commemorative collage covering every inch of his John Jay single’s […]

We’ve heard that a Red Bull-promoting frat has been leaving gifts on doors in Hartley, John Jay, Broadway and EC. Thanks, but this may have been more useful a few days ago.

It’s time for everyone to leave Butler. (Spec) The Columbia bubble isn’t good for our reputation. (Huffington Post) Paterson set the standard for the position of Governor. (Huffington Post) Maybe next year we won’t have to go home on Christmas Eve. (Spec) The government’s answer to helping us all stay healthy. (Huffington Post)

Columbians send and receive the darnedest things. This week, Postal Service (remember?) groupie Sarah Camiscoli slipped into the Package Center on the fourth floor of Lerner to beat the morning rush.  She sat down with the Package Center Professionals, Ralph, Jason, Alex, and Louie. Below, the Professionals list the most bizarre mail and people they’ve […]

For a few years now, the General Studies Student Council has lobbied to receive a diploma written in Latin–like the College and Law School currently give. (GS, along with the other 13 schools, award an English diploma.) Peter Awn, the GS dean, took a break from being totally awesome to let down GS students easily: […]

Tonight, CCSC brings you a rather bizarre combination of foods-without-price: chicken wings, mac and cheese, and green jello. We’ll take it! 8:30-10:30 PM, Lerner Piano Lounge.
