This article on anorexia is called “The Campus Elephant.” Activism outside Columbia: it’s a whole other (gentrified) world out there. There are a number of Mexican restaurants by campus. Here are their phone numbers and addresses. At an undisclosed location, at an unnamed […]

Political clubs pay attention to politics! Lauren Salz…she’s everywhere!  The Hawkmadinejads will take care of this JShap rides off into the sunset to bright new career as a lounge singer Political science becomes even less of a real field

Everybody will read today’s issue for some forum. But there is other news, apparently: Madonna Constantine refuses to go away. How quickly could you construct a “Vag?” Professors aren’t gods? Whaaat? Already tired of New York clubs? Some months-old options.

Do you increase Columbia’s net worth?  Or should the admissions officer have accepted Joe State in your place? Capitalism: keeping America on top!  What’s that you say China?  You are going to launch the Bird Nest into space? Money: keeping the J-School on top!  But are there going to be any newspapers left? Manhattanville’s consumer […]

This past semester, Spec has chronicled the trials and tribulations of ups, downs and ins and outs of graduation speakers, impeachments (Was it overplayed?  Are we including resignations?  When will it end?), and all other news that’s fit to print (and some things that are not news).  Meanwhile, Bwog has diligently chronicled Spec’s daily chronicle, […]

IPO: Undergrad History Journal Stock falling: Print journalism Stock rising: Rowing Value buy: Almost as good an investment as Haitian penny stocks. Some things, however, never change.   Stay tuned today for a very special Bwog commemoration of the last QuickSpec of the year.

Harlem affordable housing: “The sugar on a sour pie.” On asthma: “Ninety percent of time is spent indoors.” Director: What “nobody else had was my unique view about stuff.” Columnist: “we’ve been doing so much, trying so much, and experiencing so much.” Reporter: “It’s clear that the Obama-Wright controversy rests on race.” Director, on the […]

Sexism…it’s in your language! Activism…it’s gone! Racism…it’s in gentrification!  Zionism…it doesn’t recognize Nakba! Spectator-ism…it sucks!? 

Jarid Maged wrote a “17 page admissions essay” to get into GS, which apparently doesn’t impose a word limit. (Also, the title of this column makes only weird, self-referential sense.) The Spec is extremely comfortable cursing in print now. And, apparently, fellating the Arcade Fire. Quite literally. Tegan and Sara… still fresh. Still cool. Apparently […]

What can we do to reinforce a message of freedom on this campus? How about dancing at Havana Central? Hey, it’s better than wishy-washy social justice editorializing Or picketing alone in front of the Mayor’s house Maybe there’s nothing to do but pray But in this case, the guy should probably just sue their asses

Random passersby were drawn into the […]
