Even if you weren’t a Columbia student at the time of Operation Ivy League, you probably had an idea of what went down through different media sources. Almost six years have passed since the incident, but musician Kosmo Weston has kept it relevant by inserting sound bites from different news broadcasts and court hearings. His work is […]

Daily Editor Nadra Rahman is incapable of a lot of things: driving, swimming, and skating better than an untutored three-year-old are some of them. Add bike-riding to the list, as she makes a valiant effort to review the newly-launched bike sharing service Zagster, despite her inability to balance. What do Wien, John Jay, and Lerner […]

I like to consider myself to be something of a NACElink veteran, personally. Over the past few months I have applied for nearly every position I’m even remotely qualified to do. Much of these have been of a typical nature: non-profits looking for volunteers to make copies, museums seeking researchers or administrative interns, office assistant […]

After thoroughly appreciating last semester’s production of “Evita” by CMTS, our Arts Editor couldn’t pass up the chance to attend CMTS’s spring production of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Still tone-deaf and still generally ignorant of musical theatre, here are his thoughts. The tale of Sweeney Todd is set in London in 1846, and […]

Today seems like the day that we’ll see people ugly-cry. Do you want that one, low-demand Woodbridge suite, or the last spot in Plimpton? Neither, you say? Well, you could try to find 8 people that you don’t hate and go live in Ruggles. Oh, you can only find 6 people? Whatever, add two people that […]

Spotif-what? Spotif-y? Spotif-Orchesis? You heard right: campus dance group Orchesis did a play-on-words with their name and Spotify, and it sort of worked as a title.

In this next part of our introduction to the CC/SEAS Class of 2020, we decided to take a different approach. Sure, we could share all of the funny, shocking, and downright strange messages we had access to—and believe us, we have a lot of screenshots that didn’t make the cut— but somehow those short excerpts don’t seem to fully […]

(Look for our review later today!) […]
