If you’re returning to campus after a fall break filled with family, hometown friends, and studying lazing around in bed, you’ll notice that Facilities has started to install lights on the College Walk trees. Stay tuned for an announcement for the tree-lighting ceremony in a week or so. The lights are actually lit before the […]
Sheetrock falling in McBain was clearly not enough for the Columbia ceilings’ reign of terror over students’ heads. The failure of basic infrastructure continues, causing more destruction of property/sense of peace/personal integrity, this time in Hartley. Because the one worse thing than sheetrock falling in your bedroom is sheetrock falling in your bathroom, right above your […]
Exactly we’ve all been waiting for: a documentary about the kind of gross diner cultural touchstone that is Tom’s Restaurant.

But next thing we know we’re getting all these freaked tips and noticing concerned conversation by the sanest […]

Jack Hidary—tech entrepreneur, millionaire, and aspiring politician—will not be the next mayor of New York. According to a recent The Wall Street Journal/NBC 4 New York/Marist poll, even if Hidary sways every undecided […]
This past Wednesday, Casa Italiana showcased pianist Konstantin Soukhovetski. He performed selections from Philip Glass’s The Hours score as well as his own solo piano arrangements of Strauss’s Capriccio and “Four Last Songs.” This concert featured the premiere of Soukhovetski’s arrangement of the final scene of Verdi’s La Traviata.

ZOMG guys, Kristen Stewart’s on campus!!!!! According to a few tipsters sticking it out on campus over break, the ever-edgy, awkward lip-biting Twilight star is hanging out in Lerner filming something. And not just in Lerner, but in Ferris Booth. Maybe she’s playing another angsty student? Will the Kent attic be utilized as another vampire […]
Didn’t we say we had a fucking amazing cross country team?

Nicolas Composto, CC’14, took second place […]
