Update 2: Jade is no longer a Speccie. Spec just updated their editors’ note to add that “we have absolutely no tolerance for plagiarism, and Jade’s relationship with Spectator has been terminated.” Update: Bonacolta’s position, according to Spec’s printed masthead, is currently Arts & Entertainment Associate, which is apparently the 3rd (and lowest) tier of editors […]
Even though this sounds like another Activities Fair booth, we felt sorry for the Office of the University Chaplain because they aren’t going to be on Low Plaza, but up by St. Paul’s Chapel. Religious Life Advisors will also be on hand to meet and greet new students. Maybe hit them up for post-fair dessert? Cookies, […]
President Obama concluded the Democratic National Convention last night. (NYT) Check out front page news coverage of the event from around the country. (Newseum via Slate) If you don’t have time to watch a 30+ minute speech, maybe you’ll have to time to “watch” it though the power of gifs? (Atlantic Wire) This morning August […]
Despite always playing second fiddle to Carman’s “fun” dorm reputation, the denizens of John Jay are hip party-cats in their own right, and as such, have created numerous nicknames for the single-ridden dorm.

Tonight is the first Thursday of the year, so be smart and fill up with charitable carbs before you head out into the wine-dark night. Peer Health Exchange is hosting an event at 8 pm in the East Ramp Lounge in Lerner. If our helpful graphic wasn’t enough, there will be pizza at this event. […]

Here are this semester’s shining nuggets of wisdom […]
We asked, you answered. Our not-so-definitive list of The Best Classes Ever just wasn’t awesome enough, so here are even more can’t-miss courses, featuring all the professors you secretly stalk in Westside and on Facebook. To make it even easier, we’ve split the list by classes you can register for RIGHT NOW (if there’s space), […]
Upperclassmen rejoice: it’s your first Columbia Greenmarket of the year! (No, stumbling past the tents in a hungover daze on Sunday after your first night back doesn’t count.) The market is here every Thursday and Sunday on Broadway between 114th and 116th. Bwog has your highlights: On Sundays, the market collects food scraps for compost […]
Certain people are insecure and can’t handle when someone is more awesome than them, so they’re accusing Michelle Obama of faking a stutter during her winning DNC speech. Haters gonna hate, but Michelle will just keep raising those ridiculously defined arms. Also, Bill Clinton spoke. People got really excited. (Gawker, Washington Post) Despite the fact […]
Lost somewhere on College Walk (Broadway side) during Labor Day weekend; it has a tiny coin purse shaped like an apple, a multicolored bracelet with “Guatemala” on it in neon yellow, keys to a 2001 Subaru, a Cornell ID card, and multiple keys (one is pink, one has red nail polish on it). Please email […]
As you may have heard, we’re looking for a bunch of new Daily Editors. Applications are due this Friday, September 7, which means you have like 48 hours or something (What?
