While the rally was happening on the sundial, there was a curious little table set up on Low Steps with cookies and hot chocolate. No it wasn’t a counter-protest against the strikers, or the work of Columbia Republicans, but rather Obama-supporters. Cookies and hot chocolate in the name of Barack, rather fitting for this rainy […]

According to the ever-entertaining 2009 class e-mail, at 9:00 PM, baked goods and hot drinks will be available in Lerner Piano Lounge for your academic sustenance.

Disagree!, reply the College Republicans, who are grilling burgers and hot dogs for their fellow Columbus Day celebrants.
