According to the Spectator Editorial Board: […]

Economy remains not-so-hot; PrezBo begins to “cut back in a lot of little different ways,” no big deal. College Democrats and Republicans gather in same room, give each other silent treatment. Wait, being an English major is worthless?!? Camels roam streets, Spec reporters kissed by llamas, all just a few short blocks away! Queer sex […]

Students feel the economic crisis.  Columbia’s Manhattanville PR continues to struggle, and accidents won’t help. Local Dems can’t avoid shouting at the TV. One student tries to deal with Ramadan’s slow slide into summer. If a struggle is successful, why not continue it?

“If all of us were to suddenly vanish, most of the country probably wouldn’t even notice” Paying the rent: still a bitch  College students: still poor and hungry!  Columbia football has only won games in the future. An 18-fold increase in enforcement for alcohol offenses?  Tom DeMott is Spec opinion’s go-to person on rent regulation  […]

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 […]

PrezBo hates on ROTC; student council people hate on each other. We all hate lawsuits, right? Well, this one’s gone! Does CCSC hate the internet? This man hates organized food in supermarkets. The hatred of eminent domain continues, but now it has dates.

PrezBo doesn’t know quite what to do without Brinkley None of these men are quite as sexy as Brinkley  Brinkley thinks ROTC wouldn’t want to come back anyway!  Not news to Brinkley (…or anyone, really) We’re not sure whose side is right here, but we’re almost certain Brinkley’s on it  OK this doesn’t fit the […]

Throwing the baby out with the… bathtub? Even though it is called the Freedom School, there is still homework. Barnard steals fancy new financial aid director from… Columbia! Celebrating forks, knives and spoons. Celebrating Keira Knightley’s new period drama. …and the traditional freshman editorial about being satisfied with imperfections. Welcome to the canon.

Community Board 9 discusses their views on the economy. Nick Sprayregen starts sharing his views online. Researchers now view the Hudson’s water as “much, much better.” New state driver’s licenses will make bouncers view your fake with even more skepticism.  A blogger puts forth his view on the Massad tenure fight. The Spec editorial board […]

“I can’t say it was the best decision” Press releases: an overworked reporter’s best friend Homelessness: nobody’s best friend School spirit: still sort of lacking (unless it’s for water polo) Plus: Columbia’s Safire on pimple-toms and booby caresses!

One professor is miraculously able to be an academic, administrator and mother – without a Time Turner. Another professor, after being educated around the world, pushes the limits of the normative, breaks ground on the topic of globalization, and successfully uses buzzwords while talking to the press. Men’s soccer pushes the limits of the acceptable win […]

The Good Ship Spectator seems to have updated every section but News. So, with that in mind, let’s read and arts and sports and the like: Pisticci is a partisan restaurant! So, about Obama’s stance on ROTC… Oh, right, ServiceNation.  Men’s tennis is lookin’ good And a preview of everyone’s favorite football team, the University […]

A Robyn Schneider for a new generation. Philip Roth makes it big, in Hollywood! Woody Allen makes things beautiful and slightly off-putting, in Barcelona! Standing up to middle school and high school bullies: what you need to know. That time you sat uncomfortably on the Steps yesterday: relive the magic! That time you watched the […]

Obama wasn’t a huge fan of Columbia! Columbia wasn’t a huge fan of McCain!  The neighbors are apathetic! Athletes aren’t dumb! Volunteering is great!  Really!  Students think so too!    

Alan Brinkley is the most popular Columbia professor on Facebook. Columbia is trying to “ameliorate” tensions with the community. Columbia gets amazing athletic recruits, who eat McDonald’s every day, wear jeans so tight that their legs atrophy and smoke clove cigarettes.  Statisticians: Here are all the sexy details about the rigorous lottery.  Pity the first-year […]
