At approximately 7:05 PM, just five minutes after the scheduled start of Barnard’s annual free sub giveaway, the sandwich was completely gone. What lay in its wake were scattered martini glasses filled with beaded necklaces and troupes of inordinately disappointed sub-seekers. “I just got here and all the sandwich is gone!” bemoaned one, to no […]

Barnard is a “flower garden of women.”  Barnard is the former home of the star of Even Stevens who is not Shia LeBeouf.  Relive all of Friday’s exciting NROTC details. The 12s are this much closer to CCSC and this much closer to having the power to make decisions that might, in some capacity, affect […]

Barnard is celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a traditional free-pancake offering at 10 PM tonight in 406 Barnard Hall. Perhaps it’s a taste (pun) of what’s in store for this year’s Midnight Breakfast.  Yesterday, readers were apparently disappointed with the quality of CCSC’s light-blue cookies cupcakes. “Tiny and stale,” you cried in comments of rage.

Tucked away in Lewis Parlor in the Barnard Quad is a very special kind of celebration. The kind that happens every four years. To celebrate 2008’s leap year status, McAc Events—which in four years can hopefully be called LexisNexUS—is sponsoring a leap year cupcake decoration snacktime extravaganza, or something.  The cupcakes are stacked high on […]
