There was a pretty bad smashup at 118th and Broadway, just outside the Barnard gates. Police were on the scene helping the taxi driver out, who was parked in his car when the van behind smashed into it. An ambulance has been called. Purportedly, the white van swerved to avoid a large car making a […]
Think you’re all set for job fairs just ’cause you’re sporting semi-formal and have a sheaf of resumes?

CCSC battled it out in the Satow Room. Maren Killackey lived to tell the tale. VP Funding Kevin Zhai solicited proposals from the Council for changes to the Lerner SGO (Student Government Office) space. Among the top suggestions were “bright colors,” “fish tank,” “really fun couches,” “nothing,” and “get rid of that weird computer bay.” It […]
