Chris Kulawik, CC '08, was a well-known conservative student.

He first rose to prominence as president of C4, and is now head of the College Republicans. He has helped bring John Ashcroft and the Minutemen to campus. The latter event prompted the Minuteman stage-rush incident.

Kulawik's penchant for eye-catching stunts has gained him notoriety. In an interview with the New York Times he referred to himself as the "most hated person on campus".[1] He also debated then-Blue and White editor Avi Zenilman on the Bill O'Reilly show, claiming he felt unsafe on campus after the Minuteman stage-rush incident. This is only further evidence that Kulawik enjoys a high profile and likes to raise it by fueling the flame.

Kulawik also wrote a column called "Chris Shrugged" for the Columbia Spectator.[2] The title was a reference to Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged. During his first year of writing the column, he would often write columns to provoke campus leftists, for example calling for the renaming of the Malcolm X Lounge. Later, however, he seems to have moderated his rhetoric somewhat.

Kulawik currently attends law school at Harvard.
