SGA continues its Byzantine processes this week for, well, just about everything. Luckily, as Barnard Bearoness Raji Ganapathy reports, SGA actually underspent their budget and received a more or less neutral response towards Orgo Night. That’s a victory in our books.

To fight off the bleak realization that you are no longer on a tropical beach but instead sitting in LeFrak writing an overdue paper, Barnard’s McAC is hosting Barnard Spirit Week throughout this week!
