Last night, an infuriating amount of students began requesting to be taken off of the Columbia Democrats email listserv. One tipster suggested that the unsubscribe-request rate correlated with Obama’s approval rating. However, the trouble came when the messages asking to unsubscribe began to forward to everyone on the listserv, not just the CU Dems Board […]
Lectures around campus have already begun for the semester, and Media Maven Max Rettig went to check out a lecture on conflict journalism and the late James Foley. “I wish we had a more upbeat topic for you, but we don’t want to hide the truth from you” was the opening line of this panel […]
Like most governing bodies, SGA gets a ton of money at the beginning of the year and is given the task to budget it out for the year. Unlike some governing bodies, SGA tells you exactly how much money goes where. Expert Mint.com user/retired financial advisor Lauren Beltrone tells you what you want to know. […]

The 2,997 flags commemorate the lives lost during 9/11. CUCR was spotted last night setting up the flags early to be present for the entire day.
Oscar Pistorius, that guy that from South Africa that was accused of shooting his girlfriend, was found not guilty. (USA Today) Here we go again with yet another war. Thanks, Obama. (Washington Post) An MTA worker was arrested for allegedly masturbating in a token booth. Good Lord. (Gothamist) The Tribute Lights will continue tonight to […]
Is it a door? A wall? A passage to Narnia? We’re not sure, but it certainly makes the morning walk to Art Hum more bearable. Titled “Everything Is Permitted,” the work is a part of a new exhibit from Broadway Mall Association, intended to populate the “backbone of Manhattan” with outdoor contemporary art. Other works […]
In a campus-wide email, Suzanne B. Goldberg (or rather, “on behalf of Suzanne B. Goldberg”), the new Special Advisor to PrezBo on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, delineated some of the specific changes at present. The lengthy email details recent resources, such as the new Lerner office for the Anti-Violence Support Center, the transformed Gender-Based […]
So it’s true that we’ve recently been on a conspiracy theory kick (as one commenter kindly pointed out). Maybe we like the thrill, or maybe we just want to believe in something. Either way, twin Eric Cohn is here with another totally serious, non-satirical conspiracy theory: this time about Columbia’s “twin quota.” In 1954, the Columbia Spectator […]
So you spent the summer dogearing two-year-old print-outs of Pitchfork cultivating your tastes, and now you want to show off all the cool shiny new music you’ve discovered. Best plan of attack? Live at Lerner, today from noon to 1! Today’s Sounds event features the shoegaze-y, user-friendly Arc Waves, of a Youtube station titled “The […]
