Only a few Columbians were lucky enough to snag tickets to the Women in the World Summit this weekend, but all of Columbia got called out by former President Jimmy Carter during Friday’s event. The former president discussed many women’s issues, among them the rampant problem of sexual assault, particularly on college campuses. He denounced universities […]
Job growth remains steady, with employers adding thousands of positions in March. Now if only employers would add thousands of generously paid internships. (USA Today) Columbia’s Earth Observatory predicts more depressing news. At least most of us will be dead by 2100. (Salon) A savvy Scottish teen got hit on by James Franco, and she turned him […]
Once a year, Speccies dress up like they’re in an episode of Gossip Girl and head to their Annual Awards Dinner. The dinner this year was held in the New York Athletic Club, which is the kind of place where if you enter wearing sneakers you have to take the servant’s elevator. We’ve heard reports […]

This poor girl collapsed on a rather uncomfortable looking bench just inside Pupin’s front doors. The red coat is reminiscent of Little Red Riding Hood, but judging by her head placement she’s going to be out for a while, so Sleeping Beauty is probably a more appropriate analogous fairy tale. Enjoy that bench and get some, […]

It’s tour season and one fellow Columbian started cracking wise at the Lerner turnstiles: “What is this?” “It’s a really long omelette line.” The omelette might be worth the slowed traffic but some poor Barnardian won’t be able to enjoy a drink with her meal. A true tragedy.
