Term papers and finals have—as they always do—snuck up on us. That means a lot of feverish writing sessions, printing problem sets, and checking Courseworks. It also means a lot of time in computer labs. So when you’re in line at the Lerner printer, waiting for a Mac to free up, or just typing away […]
Name, school: Alice Mottola (occasionally known as “Nurse Alice”), Barnard College Class of 2011 Claim to fame: Co-President of Latenite Theatre for two years. Pretty decent actress, despite once bitterly dividing Bwog commenters. This semester, I wrote and directed a play called “Brightness” that people really seemed to enjoy.

According to friends who nominated him, this next senior is a “game changer.” Also, last week he churned out a 45-page paper in a single night only typing with one hand because of an injury.

Name, School: Aviva Buechler, BC Claim to fame: Bride at Hangama, President of Hillel, Butler Prankster Group, the “Aviva” dance, Community Impact Leadership Program Co-Coordinator. Where are you going? I’ll be here in NYC, and Teaching for America. Three things you learned at Columbia: 1. There are twenty-four hours in a day and seven days […]
Columbia librarians are using the Internet Archive to save full websites from human rights organizations so that they can continue to be accessed by scholars even after they’re shut down.

In perhaps the most confusing 30 minutes of campus tradition in history, both the pillow fight and Primal Scream overlapped. Though purists waited until 11:59 pm to start, zealous first years joined the fray as early as 11:30 pm. Even a few of the dedicated bodies in the reference room rose from their seats to […]
