Yesterday evening, new writer Constance Blumenthal headed over to Butler lawn, hoping to take advantage of some free, stress-relieving yoga. What she found was not as stress-relieving as she’d hoped. After a long day of classes, running across town, and getting yelled at by security guards at the Met, I was looking forward to University […]

You get food from them. You talk to them. You wonder whether that that extra helping of rice was because they were flirting or just being nice. But have you ever considered that the halal carts around Columbia have personalities?
This week’s SGA meeting seemed like a bit of a circle jerk, each rep congratulating another on what accomplishments were made last year. They brushed over some topics that they couldn’t make a dent in (we’re looking at you, Winter Housing Policy and Free Tampons), but largely just wanted to talk about Diana swipes. We sent Bwogger […]
This Monday, a panel of experts on the topic of displaced scholars gathered in Low Library to discuss how institutions of higher learning around the globe can support scholars in war torn regions whose work has been endangered.

It’s the beginning of week three, and we’re already tired of acting all serious to impress our shopping-period professors. Some spent the weekend channelling their inner kid, from Harambe Night at Mel’s (why) to playing dress up.
