'''Zeta Beta Tau''' is a fraternity primarily composed of baseball players. Their house was located at 627 W. 115th Street.

== History ==

=== Ancient history ===
[[Phi Epsilon Pi]] was merged into Zeta Beta Tau.

=== Recent Incidents ===

In fall 2012, a rumor in the [[Blue and White]] describes a prank played by the women's team in which they oiled the floors of the ZBT house while the brothers slept, causing them to slip and fall. One of them cracked a rib.

In February of [[2013]], ZBT's charter was revoked for an [[ZBT hazing scandal|undefined hazing incident]]. Rumor has it that the field hockey team was involved. Athletics and the InterGreek Council orginally kept mum, as did ZBT brothers.

In March of 2013, Dean [[Kevin Shollenberger]] reversed the [[Greek Judicial Board]]'s decision to revoke the charter. The fraternity agreed to follow a plan of action drawn up by the University following Shollenberger's decision.

In August of 2013, [[Bwog]] posted that ZBT had lost its house over a "party violation" that nullified KevSho's clemency<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/08/07/breaking-zbt-loses-its-house/</ref>. [[Spectator]] later printed that many of the ZBT members intending to live in the house were instead placed in Plimpton.

In October of 2013, [[Spectator]] ran an article containing interviews with two ZBT alumni confirming the rumor that the hazing was committed primarily by the women's field hockey team. According to the alums, the team was completing a ritual where they went to each of the frat houses and had members ask the freshmen girls questions, some about their sexual history. At ZBT, one of the brothers sprayed a girl with water, causing her to cry. The ensuing yelling at the brother caused a neighbor to file a noise complaint. The administration investigated and discovered the hazing taking place, resulting ZBT's loss of chapter recognition by the Greek Judicial Board, upheld by [[Terry Martinez]].

After negotiations with the administration by alumni, Kevin Shollenberger overturned the decision, requiring ZBT to draft an action plan on how to avoid future hazing incidents. Members implicated in the hazing were also expelled from the fraternity. All was well until May, when the baseball team won the Ivy League championship. An impromptu victory party was thrown in the house, organized by some of the expelled brothers. Although no noise complaint was filed, this was against the terms of the fraternity's action plan. After ZBT left for the summer, administrators discovered the empty kegs in a closet and learned of the victory party. As a result, ZBT lost their house, this time for good. Many were reassigned housing in Plimpton.

In November, [[2013]], [[The Columbia Lion]] reported that ZBT had its national charter revoked until 2015<ref>http://columbialion.com/blog/breaking-zbt-suspends-operations-at-columbia-until-fall-2015/</ref>.

'''The Return of ZBT

In Spring 2015, two Columbia students got in touch with ZBT’s National Headquarters with interest of bringing back the fraternity to campus. In Fall of 2015, recruiters from ZBT Nationals arrived on campus to help re-establish a chapter. Fifteen Columbia students were initiated into ZBT’s new chapter at Columbia. The chapter is currently growing and plans on becoming an official chapter by the end of the 2015-2016 school year.

Columbia Daily Spectator

2014-05-31T05:52:49Z

[[Image:Spec1968.jpg|thumb|''Spec'' front page during the [[1968 protests]] ]]

[[Image:Spec1962.jpg|right|thumb|Copies of the Spectator being sold during the newspaper strike of 1962-1963.]]

The '''''Columbia Daily Spectator''''' is the weekly newspaper of the university community and [[Morningside Heights]]. It is written by undergraduate students, who operate out of the Spectator office at 112th Street and [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]]. The paper is referred to simply as "'''''Spec'''''." The paper is printed in broadsheet format every Thursday during the academic term. 5,000 copies are printed and delivered to over 150 locations throughout Morningside Heights, and they are read by God knows how many people.<ref>http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/990.php?ein=131975005&yr=200712&rt=990&t9=A, see page 20, Statement 4</ref>

==History==

''Spec'' was founded in [[1877]] by [[William Barclay Parsons]] and someone else. It is the second-oldest continually operating college news daily in the nation, after ''The Harvard Crimson''. It has been financially independent of the university since [[1962]]. However, between 1964 and 1970, it received subsidies from the university of up to $20,000.<ref>"Columbia U. Agrees to a Loan In Move to Save The Spectator"
''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 17, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)
pg. 2</ref> In addition, to this day, "in return for the free circulation, the University provides office and production space to the organization."<ref>http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/990.php?ein=131975005&yr=200712&rt=990&t9=A, see page 20, Statement 4</ref> Spec paid $130 for occupancy expenses in 2007.<ref>http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/990.php?ein=131975005&yr=200712&rt=990&t9=A, see page 2</ref>

===The 1972 Bailout ===

On December 6, 1972, ''The Spec'' announced that it would fold unless it received financial assistance. ''The Spec'', despite being in massive debt at the time, had spent $25,000 on a new typesetting machine. ''Spec'' wanted Columbia to give them a $25,000 loan, but Columbia said no, because the Spec still owed them $16,000 for a telephone bill.<ref>"Columbia Spectator Says It Expects to Fold Next Week"
''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 7, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)
pg. 55</ref>. On December 17, the Spec and Columbia kissed and made up, the Spec got their $25,000 loan, Columbia got free printing services for five years, and the ''Spec'' got more time to squeeze $16,000 from their alumni.<ref>"Columbia U. Agrees to a Loan In Move to Save The Spectator"
''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 17, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)
pg. 2</ref>

===Turn to broadsheet===

Previously printed in tabloid format, in September [[2004]] the ''Spec'' started printing in broadsheet form. The editors at the time somehow thought they deserved to "move up" in the newspaper world, taking their place next to slightly more distinguished papers like the ''[[New York Times]]''. This move was distinctly against the grain; a large and increasing number of newspapers around the world are moving or have already moved to tabloid format, which is more popular especially with readers in cities.

Some students at Columbia agree that broadsheet newspapers are inconvenient and would like to see Spec return to tabloid format. Tabloid sized papers are conveniently hidden in notebooks if you're inclined to read in class. Other students believe that broadsheet format adds a dab of prestige to the ''Spec'' brand and allows it to stand up to its [[Ivy League]] peers.

===The Web===
''Also see: [[The 2009 Spec Website Takedown]]''

The Spectator is also available on the web. In recent years, the online staff has changed the organization of the website on an almost annual basis, and as a result, certain hyperlinks to the site are broken.
In 2010, the Spectator launched Spectrum [http://spectrum.columbiaspectator.com/], a blog updated several times per day with news, arts, sports, and opinion posts. Spectrum follows several misadventures in blogging for the Spectator, but appears to be a relative success.

===Ending Daily Print Production===
''Also see: [[End of Daily Print Spectator]]''

In April 2014, the Spectator Corporate Board moved to end daily production of its print edition. In face of declining print revenue and the supposed inevitability of cutting print production a new model was proposed: the paper would move to a weekly print edition and beef up its website. A majority of the paper's trustees approved.

===Recent spinoffs===
====Blogs====

=====Defunct=====

Spec's road to producing a successful blog was long and arduous. In February [[2006]], the paper launched a series of blogs, aptly named [http://www.Specblogs.com SpecBlogs]. These blogs soon became defunct. Another blogging effort, launched in October [[2006]] to cover the 2006 midterm elections, proved more successful. In December of [[2007]], the newspaper launched yet another blog, this time specific to the Opinion page, called "The Steps". Those blogs are now also defunct. However, SpecBlogs.com was subsequently revived again, with a repertoire that included [[Commentariat]] (the new opinion blog), Spectacle (for arts and entertainment), and The Editors Notes. These blogs were phased out upon the creation of the omnibus Spec blog Spectrum (see below).

Spec's short-lived attempts at producing successful blogs were frequently mocked by the initially much more successful [[Bwog]] as the "Splogs".

A recurring blog on ''Spec'''s website during [[housing lottery]] season, since [[2007]], has been the housing blog [[The Shaft]], which survived the carnage of Spec's other early blogging efforts, and is now incorporated as part of Spectrum.

=====Current=====
Under the tenure of the 134th Managing Board, the Spec has made a renewed effort at the Spectator blog. Rebranded as "[[Spectrum]]", a revamped daily blog was launched in March of [[2010]]. The current Spectrum editor is Mihika Barua.

====The Eye====
In September [[2006]], ''Spectator'' staff launched ''[[The Eye]]'', a weekly magazine featuring investigative pieces and commentary on Columbia and [[NYC]]. The goal of starting The Eye was to provide a platform much of the feature writing that [[Speccie]]s did for [[The Blue and White]] in addition to topics that had no previous coverage. The name of ''The Eye'' relates both to the fact that one "spectates" with it and urban theorist Jane Jacobs' notion that "eyes on the street" help keep neighborhoods safe.

==Organization & management==
The ''Spec'' is currently run by the 137th managing board. Membership of the current and past boards is listed here: [[Managing Board of the Columbia Daily Spectator]].

Writing and non-writing departments are each headed by an editor, and are overseen by the editor-in-chief. Writing departments include campus news, city news, sports, arts and entertainment, and opinion. Non-writing departments include photography, multimedia, design, copy, and business. The business department is headed by the publisher, and it has several sub-departments, each headed by a director.

First-time writers at Columbia begin their time at the paper with a 1- to 2-month training period, during which they learn the basics of writing an article and publish their first articles. When their department editor sees fit, they become staff writers. Each November and December, students run for positions at the paper, a grueling process that takes nearly a month. They begin by "shadowing," or sitting with the current editors or associate editors and learning the editing process. Next they write proposals for their desired position. The students then take an editing test made up by their department editor that tests them on the fundamentals of editing. Finally, they go through the "[[:w:Turkey Shoot|Turkey Shoot]]," an interview in which the current managing board grills the applicant on why he feels he would be a good fit for the position. The results of the application process, including the new managing board are announced in mid-December, the weekend before finals.

[[Image:Spec1962.jpg|right|thumb|Copies of the Spectator being sold during the newspaper strike of 1962-1963.]]

The '''''Columbia Daily Spectator''''' is the daily newspaper of the university community and [[Morningside Heights]]. It is written by undergraduate students, who operate out of the Spectator office at 112th Street and [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]]. The paper is referred to simply as "'''''Spec'''''." The paper is printed in broadsheet format every weekday during the academic term. 5,000 copies are printed and delivered to over 150 locations throughout Morningside Heights, and they are read by God knows how many people.<ref>http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/990.php?ein=131975005&yr=200712&rt=990&t9=A, see page 20, Statement 4</ref>

==History==

''Spec'' was founded in [[1877]] by [[William Barclay Parsons]] and someone else. It is the second-oldest continually operating college news daily in the nation, after ''The Harvard Crimson''. It has been financially independent of the university since [[1962]]. However, between 1964 and 1970, it received subsidies from the university of up to $20,000.<ref>"Columbia U. Agrees to a Loan In Move to Save The Spectator"
''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 17, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)
pg. 2</ref> In addition, to this day, "in return for the free circulation, the University provides office and production space to the organization."<ref>http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/990.php?ein=131975005&yr=200712&rt=990&t9=A, see page 20, Statement 4</ref> Spec paid $130 for occupancy expenses in 2007.<ref>http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/990.php?ein=131975005&yr=200712&rt=990&t9=A, see page 2</ref>

===The 1972 Bailout ===

On December 6, 1972, ''The Spec'' announced that it would fold unless it received financial assistance. ''The Spec'', despite being in massive debt at the time, had spent $25,000 on a new typesetting machine. ''Spec'' wanted Columbia to give them a $25,000 loan, but Columbia said no, because the Spec still owed them $16,000 for a telephone bill.<ref>"Columbia Spectator Says It Expects to Fold Next Week"
''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 7, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)
pg. 55</ref>. On December 17, the Spec and Columbia kissed and made up, the Spec got their $25,000 loan, Columbia got free printing services for five years, and the ''Spec'' got more time to squeeze $16,000 from their alumni.<ref>"Columbia U. Agrees to a Loan In Move to Save The Spectator"
''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 17, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)
pg. 2</ref>

===Turn to broadsheet===

Previously printed in tabloid format, in September [[2004]] the ''Spec'' started printing in broadsheet form. The editors at the time somehow thought they deserved to "move up" in the newspaper world, taking their place next to slightly more distinguished papers like the ''[[New York Times]]''. This move was distinctly against the grain; a large and increasing number of newspapers around the world are moving or have already moved to tabloid format, which is more popular especially with readers in cities.

Some students at Columbia agree that broadsheet newspapers are inconvenient and would like to see Spec return to tabloid format. Tabloid sized papers are conveniently hidden in notebooks if you're inclined to read in class. Other students believe that broadsheet format adds a dab of prestige to the ''Spec'' brand and allows it to stand up to its [[Ivy League]] peers.

===The Web===
''Also see: [[The 2009 Spec Website Takedown]]''

The Spectator is also available on the web. In recent years, the online staff has changed the organization of the website on an almost annual basis, and as a result, certain hyperlinks to the site are broken.
In 2010, the Spectator launched Spectrum [http://spectrum.columbiaspectator.com/], a blog updated several times per day with news, arts, sports, and opinion posts. Spectrum follows several misadventures in blogging for the Spectator, but appears to be a relative success.

===Recent spinoffs===
====Blogs====

=====Defunct=====

Spec's road to producing a successful blog was long and arduous. In February [[2006]], the paper launched a series of blogs, aptly named [http://www.Specblogs.com SpecBlogs]. These blogs soon became defunct. Another blogging effort, launched in October [[2006]] to cover the 2006 midterm elections, proved more successful. In December of [[2007]], the newspaper launched yet another blog, this time specific to the Opinion page, called "The Steps". Those blogs are now also defunct. However, SpecBlogs.com was subsequently revived again, with a repertoire that included [[Commentariat]] (the new opinion blog), Spectacle (for arts and entertainment), and The Editors Notes. These blogs were phased out upon the creation of the omnibus Spec blog Spectrum (see below).

Spec's short-lived attempts at producing successful blogs were frequently mocked by the initially much more successful [[Bwog]] as the "Splogs".

A recurring blog on ''Spec'''s website during [[housing lottery]] season, since [[2007]], has been the housing blog [[The Shaft]], which survived the carnage of Spec's other early blogging efforts, and is now incorporated as part of Spectrum.

=====Current=====
Under the tenure of the 134th Managing Board, the Spec has made a renewed effort at the Spectator blog. Rebranded the "[[Spectrum]]", a revamped daily blog was launched on 1 March [[2010]].

====The Eye====
In September [[2006]], ''Spectator'' staff launched ''[[The Eye]]'', a weekly magazine featuring investigative pieces and commentary on Columbia and [[NYC]]. The goal of starting The Eye was to provide a platform much of the feature writing that [[Speccie]]s did for [[The Blue and White]] in addition to topics that had no previous coverage. The name of ''The Eye'' relates both to the fact that one "spectates" with it and urban theorist Jane Jacobs' notion that "eyes on the street" help keep neighborhoods safe.

==Organization==
The ''Spec'' is currently run by the 137th managing board.

Writing and non-writing departments are each headed by an editor, and are overseen by the editor-in-chief. Writing departments include campus news, city news, sports, arts and entertainment, and opinion. Non-writing departments include photography, multimedia, design, copy, and business. The business department is headed by the publisher, and it has several sub-departments, each headed by a director.

First-time writers at Columbia begin their time at the paper with a 1- to 2-month training period, during which they learn the basics of writing an article and publish their first articles. When their department editor sees fit, they become staff writers. Each November and December, students run for positions at the paper, a grueling process that takes nearly a month. They begin by "shadowing," or sitting with the current editors or associate editors and learning the editing process. Next they write proposals for their desired position. The students then take an editing test made up by their department editor that tests them on the fundamentals of editing. Finally, they go through the "[[:w:Turkey Shoot|Turkey Shoot]]," an interview in which the current managing board grills the applicant on why he feels he would be a good fit for the position. The results of the application process, including the new managing board are announced in mid-December, the weekend before finals.

The Harkness money in 1929 went towards completing the house and res college systems, not starting them. Correct?

::Nope. The Harkness money in the 1920s went toward building the House and Residential College system at H/Y. They did not exist beforehand, AFAIK. Princeton's residential college system was only put in place in the 1960s and 1970s. [[User:Ttan|Ttan]] 15:20, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

History of student housing

2013-11-30T05:14:23Z

Blue Pete: /* External links */

Housing at Columbia has had a rather interesting history.

== College Hall ==

The first proto-Columbia dormitories were available to students of [[King's College]]. [[College Hall]], King's second home, was a building that outshone its colonial counterparts in every respect when it was erected in [[1760]]. Student quarters were no exception. The layout of the original College Hall was a row of rooms, of dimensions 18' x 21'. Attached to these giant rooms were two smaller anterooms, measuring 9' x 9', next to each other. The total size of each of these suites of three rooms was 540 square feet. When these rooms were assigned to students, the 378-s.f. room was designated as a 'sleeping area' while each 81-s.f. anteroom was a personal study. Yes, Columbia once boasted 540-s.f. doubles.

Another reason for the size of these rooms was that the professors and the President also lived within College Hall. In this case, the two 81-s.f. anterooms served as a bedchamber and as a study, and the 378-s.f. main room served as a classroom by day and a living room by night. Yet, they were still 540-s.f. rooms. Small wonder then, that a few years after King's College was reconstituted as [[Columbia College]], the faculty and President took over College Hall entirely. In fact, the first thing Columbia's ninth President, [[Charles King]], did was to move his rather sizable family into College Hall. And when King presided over the move to the [[Midtown campus]], the first thing he did then was order the construction of a 25-room [[President's House]]. Undergraduate student housing at Columbia, on the other hand, was deprioritized.

== Midtown campus ==

By the time the [[Midtown campus]] reached full-build during the end of [[Frederick A. P. Barnard]]'s presidency, student housing had made something of a comeback. Hamilton Hall, a dormitory, had been erected, but provided nowhere near enough space to hold Columbia's exploding student population. The statue of [[Alexander Hamilton]] in front of our present [[Hamilton Hall]] once stood in front of the other Hamilton Hall. Moreover, Barnard (and his two successors, [[Seth Low|Low]], and [[Nicholas Murray Butler|Butler]]) were at best indifferent and at worst openly hostile to undergraduates, proposing more than a few times to transform the undergraduate college into a 'fast-track' into the graduate and professional faculties, moving it out to [[Westchester County]], or disbanding it altogether.

== Morningside Heights campus ==
=== Seth Low ===

By the time [[Seth Low]] assumed the Presidency, undergraduate life had taken a different turn. Paraphrasing the popular Biblical passage, Low declared "A university that is set upon a hill cannot be hid." His new Columbia University, moved to spacious and grand quarters on the hill of [[Morningside Heights]], would be a university dedicated solely to the prosperity of the city and its education of its inhabitants. Low wanted no dormitories. Rather, he envisioned that students would come to Columbia for a day of classes, and then return home to their lives in the city. Where [[Butler Library]] now stands was once a vista where one could view the rise of New York City all the way to the tip of lower [[Manhattan]]. Low envisioned that students would, upon graduation, exit from the campus through that opening, back into the city from whence they came. By the 1930s, that view was hideously obstructed by row houses that clashed rather egregiously with the rest of Columbia's neoclassical architecture, and thus provided the logical place to build Columbia's new research library.

During Low's presidency plans were made to erect [[Hamilton Court]], a private 10 story dormitory on [[Amsterdam Avenue]]. When these plans fell through, the trustees pressured Low into commissioning dorms on campus. However, the [[McKim, Mead, and White]] designed [[Grove Dormitories]] were never built since Low never put the effort into raising the money, and neither did the alumni.

=== Nicholas Murray Butler ===

Under President [[Nicholas Murray Butler]], who took office in [[1902]], Columbia set about trying to make Columbia more of a national university, and this required providing housing to students. Providentially, [[Marcellus Hartley Dodge]] CC 1903 and his aunt [[Helen Hartley Jenkins]], decided to fund the construction of the first dormitory on the [[Morningside Heights campus]] - [[Hartley Hall]]. The Trustees matched the effort and funded the construction of companion building [[Wallach Hall|Livingston Hall]]. 10 years later they would be joined by equally proportioned [[Furnald Hall]] across [[South Field]]. These would prove to be the last "small" purpose-built dormitories on the campus.

In the 1920s, Columbia would build two more dormitories. These two new buildings would establish a pattern of space maximizing utilitarianism that has been the hallmark of dorm construction ever since. [[John Jay Hall]], and the companion [[Wien Hall|Johnson Hall]] were "skyscraper dorms", with John Jay in particular dwarfing its neighboring buildings.

Columbia's construction program in the early 20th century may have been the first major effort to house a significant number of undergraduates at any leading American university. The [[Harvard]] we know today, with its Houses fronting the Charles River, was not built until the 1920s. The same is also true for [[Yale]]'s residential colleges. Yet a full two decades before, Columbia had already taken the step of housing its undergraduates.

=== Disrepair and Modern-day residence halls ===
The passage of decades in between the construction of purpose built student housing, as between Hartley/Livingston and John Jay/Johnson Halls, became a precedent. Over the next 75 years, Columbia would only build 4 more purpose built dormitory buildings (and all of them in the utilitarian 'skyscraper' mold of John Jay and Johnson) - [[Carman Hall|"New Hall"]] (Carman Hall) in 1959, the massive [[East Campus]] in 1981, [[Schapiro Hall]] in [[1988]], and finally [[Broadway Residence Hall]] in 2000. All other buildings added to undergraduate housing stock over this period are converted structures.

Over the course of this slow building program, the condition of Columbia's student housing stock severely deteriorated by the 60s, and was still abysmal through the 1980s. The poor quality of housing was even cited as a cause of [[1968 protests]] by the [[Cox Commission]] inquiry. Dean [[Peter Pouncey]] wrote in [[1973]] that students were known to say that the dorms must have been designed "by an architect morbidly conditioned by [[Humanities A]] to blend the more oppressive features of [[Dante]]'s ''Inferno'' with Kafka's diseased imaginings[.]"<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19730501-02.2.10</ref> And so Columbia set about converting doubles into singles, and scrounging up money to add floor lounges in each dormitory during the 70s, but this meant kicking graduate students out of John Jay and Furnald into "temporary" buildings like [[Ruggles]] and [[Harmony]].<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19690213-01.2.4</ref><ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19750926-01.2.9</ref> At that time, graduate student permanent housing included [[McBain]] and [[River]] (then known as Hudson) Halls, which were also in abject condition at the time.<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19741115-01.2.6</reF> Ironically all of those buildings have been converted into undergraduate only housing over the years. By [[1976]], acting Dean [[Robert Belknap]], observed that "[w]e have four residence halls that are run down, but basically decent structures to live in, Furnald, Hartley, Livingston, and McBain. Carman is badly designed, but fun. John Jay is a gloomy array of single rooms, and many of our students live at home or in apartments that leave much to be desired."<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19761014-01.2.15 This meandering page-long set of 'reflections on the College' is a bizarre must-read.</ref> In 1978, the story wasn't much better, with the ''[[Spec]]'' running a two-part series on the poor living conditions in River, McBain and other buildings.<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19781121-01.2.4]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19781122-01.2.7]</ref> The story remained the same in 1983, with caved ceilings, non-functioning appliances, broken lights, etc., blighting dormitories, a combination of decay and shoddy construction taking the blame.<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19831017-01.2.2Dorm decay outpacing maintenance], Columbia Spectator, 17 October 1983</ref><ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19831020-01.2.2]; [ctatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19831024-01.2.4]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19831027-01.2.21]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19831109-01.2.3]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19831123-01.2.3]</ref>

The completion of [[Schapiro Hall]] in [[1988]] marked a turning point for Columbia because it allowed it to guarantee housing to all undergraduates for the first time in its history. Finally, in [[2000]], Columbia opened its sixth and latest purpose-built high-rise dormitory, [[Broadway Residence Hall]]. The University had mooted a new dormitory to be built in the place of the demolished [[115th Street Brownstones]] in 2007 in order to support a 15% increase in class size of [[Columbia College]], but never proceeded with the plan.

In order to supplement the construction of high-rise dormitories on and around campus, the University has also converted a number of apartment buildings for graduate students into dormitories for undergraduates over the years, e.g. [[Ruggles Hall]], [[Hogan Hall]], [[River Hall]], [[McBain Hall]], [[Watt Hall]] etc.

=== House system experiments ===
Because of the utilitarian nature of Columbia's dormitory designs dating back to [[John Jay Hall]], as well as the limited space available on campus, Columbia has never been an ideal candidate for the types of House or Residential College systems established at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton. As a matter of fact, when philanthropist [[Edward Harkness]], who had funded the completion of the house and residential college systems at Harvard and Yale, offered his checkbook to Columbia, his largesse was directed towards the construction of [[Butler Library]], as the school desperately needed more space than it had in [[Low Library]].

Nevertheless, the idea of a House system, or borrowing elements from it, have been kicked around since the 1960s<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19610227-01.2.9]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19610414-01.2.29]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19620209-01.2.21]</ref>, and the 1990s<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19880411-01.2.4]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19890913-01.2.5]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19891130-01.2.6]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900129-01.2.10]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900131-01.2.13]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900205-01.2.6]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900206-01.2.12]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900209-01.2.8]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900212-01.2.3]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900215-01.2.7]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900216-01.2.2]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900219-01.2.9]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900220-01.2.3]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900227-01.2.5]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900312-01.2.11]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900328-01.2.16]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19900801-01.2.2]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19910415-01.2.31]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19911007-01.2.10]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19920513-01.2.6]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19921016-01.2.4]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19921019-01.2.9]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19930223-01.2.6]</ref>.

In [[2000]] the University announced the creation of the [[Living and Learning Center]] (LLC) as an experimental set-up in Hartley and Wallach.<ref>[http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2000/05/10/admins-students-clash-over-housing-changes]</ref>

Nutellagate

2013-07-08T04:09:52Z

Blue Pete:

[[File:Nutella Stephan Adamow WEB 0.jpg|thumb| Stephan Adamow, CC '15, poses for ''Spec'' as he ladles himself some Nutella at [[Ferris Booth Commons]]]]

'''Nutellagate''' occurred when misinformation spread that students were stealing $5,000 worth of Nutella a week from [[Dining Services]] during March 2013. It was also a tremendous coup for the ''[[Columbia Daily Spectator]]'', and got them links from literally almost every notably news site on the Internet.

Basically: Peter Bailinson, a first-year [[CCSC]] rep posted on his class [[Facebook]] page that students were stealing tons of Nutella. Said rep (who was also on ''Spec'') later told ''Spec'' that students were stealing Nutella; $5,000 per week of it<ref>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2013/03/05/nutella-ferris-booth-costs-dining-5000-week-part-due-dining-hall-thievery</ref>. Naturally—give that $5,000 is a nice big round number and that few news sources can resist a good class-baity blog post about Columbia—the ''[[New York Times]]'' picked up the story, as did [[Gawker]] and everybody else<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/07/nyregion/for-columbia-students-nutella-in-a-dining-hall-may-be-too-tempting.html?_r=1&</ref><ref>http://gawker.com/5989132/report-nutella-theft-a-major-problem-for-dining-services-at-columbia-as-students-gorge-themselves-on-dozens-of-pounds-each-day</ref>. Dining Service person Vicki Dunn vaguely agreed with Bailinson's misinformation—which is how an 18-year-old's unverified Facebook post was printed as fact in the ''New York Times''.

Then—in a press released ''actually titled'' "It's a Smear!", the University said that it wasn't nearly so much<ref>http://spectrum.columbiaspectator.com/spectrum/university-claims-nutella-cost-2500-in-first-week-less-than-500-after</ref><ref>http://news.columbia.edu/oncampus/3085</ref>.

[[Kevin Shollenberger]], wanting to show just how much damn fun he was/jump onto the blog-rush bandwagon, made a video of himself eating Nutella in his office (with the help of [[Kat Cutler]], naturally)<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/03/08/keho-eats-nutella-too/</ref>. (Commenters concurred that Shollenberger's idea was funny but poorly executed, ruined by his "look right at the end that says 'can i stop yet?' " <ref>http://bwog.com/2013/03/08/keho-eats-nutella-too/#comment-967322</ref>.

Borrow Direct

Blue Pete: Undo revision 47868 by Blue Pete (talk)

[[File:Borrow-direct.jpg|thumb|Borrow Direct's current logo]]
[[Image:Borrowdirectlogo.jpg|thumb|180px|Borrow Direct's old logo]]
'''Borrow Direct''' is an interlibrary borrowing service allowing [[Morningside Heights campus]] students to borrow books from Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Penn, Princeton, and Yale<ref>http://library.columbia.edu/find/request/borrow-direct.html</ref>.

Much faster than Interlibrary Loan (ILL), Borrow Direct is a great way to obtain books that are checked out, on reserve, or otherwise unavailable within the Columbia University library system.

Borrow Direct books have a loan period of six weeks, with one six week renewal. Anecdotally, lending institutions rarely charge overdue fines despite the fact that patrons are warned that such fines may be charged and strongly advised to return items promptly in service of of "good relationships with our partner libraries."

If available, requested materials will be ready for pickup within four or five business days of the original request. Anecdotally, the average is two. In one user's totally subjective personal experience, [[Yale]] and [[Princeton]] libraries are fastest (sometimes delivering books within one day).

According to one professor of [[English and Comparative Literature]], every book delivered via Borrow Direct costs $10 in transportation, processing, upkeep, etc.

Hungarian Pastry Shop

2013-07-01T23:30:54Z

Blue Pete:

[[Image:Hungarian.jpg|thumb|right|Hungarian Pastry Shop. Photo by [[Chris Szabla|C. Szabla]] ]]

The '''Hungarian Pastry Shop''' is a legendary cafe on [[Amsterdam Avenue]] at 111th St, across from [[St. John the Divine]]. It's the closest thing to a Parisian cafe in [[Morningside Heights]]. It's owned by the same Greek family that own [[Symposium]] and that owned the [[P and W Sandwich Shop]].

The Hungarian is a great place to write a paper and read. The coffee is pretty good and you get free refills, and many of the pastries are delicious. However, the big draw is the atmosphere. Mostly, the place is full of CC students and grad students who hang out for hours on end, huddled over their laptops and books. There aren't many [[SEAS]] kids though, probably because there's not enough room to spread out to do [[problem sets]].

The bathroom is noteworthy for being filled with extreme, and extremely diverse, political graffiti, which is painted over ever so often.

[[P and W Sandwich Shop]] used to be right next door with good though expensive food, until it tragically closed on December 24, 2011 <ref>http://bwog.com/2011/12/14/breaking-pw-sandwich-shop-to-close-in-a-week/</ref>.

University Alumni Directory

2013-05-09T15:59:05Z

Blue Pete:

The '''University Alumni Directory''' is, as its name implies, a directory of Columbia University Alumni. It's how Columbia keeps track of you to get your money.

Columbia has printed something approximating a list of graduates since as early as 1815, and continued printing hard copies until [[2006]], when it was switched solely to an online system. Columbia is so proud of its [[dropouts]], it once even printed a volume just for them!

The modern online directory is patchy. While it includes an entry for each living alumnus, by default his contact information is hidden; people have to opt in. The alumni office, in the name of privacy, is notoriously strict about not disclosing this information (despite the existence of the [[Social Register]]). They will, fortunately, forward any stamped envelops you leave with them.
