The oft-deleted weekly CCE email from Niamh (pronounced “Neev”; it’s Irish) O’Brien contained a special surprise today—a shout-out to the 118th Varsity Show, in which she was sharply parodied by Rebekah Lowin, CC ’14, as a scheming villain who changed the Core into a series of classes on unethical businesses for future I-bankers and consultants. […]
Despite one Columbians’ efforts to save precious reading material/most students’ midnight snack cutting boards, some of us seem to be done with our books before the semester is even over. A shot of the corner of 113th and Broadway is proof:
Name, Hometown, School: Leah Greenbaum, Newport Beach, CA. A global citizen of Columbia College Claim to Fame: Spec’s campus news editor; that girl who always begged professors for extensions; that girl who interviewed you once about SGB; that girl who transfered from UC Berkeley and still wears flared levis sometimes/a lot.

The SDA is providing free drawstring sports packs, flyers, sunscreen, water bottles, […]
A photograph of PrezBo’s face lands itself on Wikipedia’s homepage as the featured picture of the day. He appears pensive and distinguished—concerned about the Core, financial aid, and diversity all at once—while his coif remains perfectly intact. Ain’t he a beaut?
It’s the last day of classes and as much you’d like to convince yourself that you’re going to start studying for finals, there is drinking to be done. Live it up while you can as some sketchy Department of Health reports indicate that there may no longer be Happy Hour in our big and bright […]

SPEARS: The Gospel According to Britney, Pat Blute’s musical which professed to pair The Greatest Story Ever Told with The Greatest Music Ever Written, ran for the last time at 8 pm last night, in Barnard’s Glicker-Milstein Theatre. Conor Skelding went. On the jaded Columbia campus, SPEARS’s premise – using the music of Britney Spears to […]
