This one is self explanatory: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” We figured out what’s going on: a racist crazy is running for President.

It’s that time of year again folks: the Columbia University Marching Band has released their first round of flyers for this year’s Fall Orgo Night taking place December 16th at 11:59PM in Butler 209.

Former President Jimmy Carter announced on Sunday that he was cancer-free, after months of treating metastatic melanoma that had spread from his liver to his brain. He will continue with regular treatments, but seems in the clear for now.
