<p>Christianist: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox reshall<br /> |Name=627 W. 115th St <br /> |Converted=2013)<br /> |Population=33}}<br /> '''627 W. 115th St''' is a [[brownstone]] [[residence hall]] located on 115th Street between [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]] and [[Riverside Drive]]. It's commonly referred to as "[[ZBT]]," the "ZBT House," or the "former ZBT House" after the fraternity that used to own and occupy the house. Due to a rumored legal dispute with ZBT national, the house can no longer legally be called the above names and was renamed '''Owl House'''.<br /> <br /> Unlike other residence halls, ZBT cannot be picked into during the housing lottery, since it houses undergraduate transfer students from [[Columbia College]] and [[SEAS]], like [[Carleton Arms]]. This could be part of Columbia's plot to increase revenue by taking in more transfer students, as outlined in [[An Agenda for the Future]]. Or it could just be that Columbia's offering more of them guaranteed housing. Unlike any other Columbia dorm (excluding [[Symposium]]), residents do not have a security desk, meaning they can swipe in as many Barnard and GS students as they want.<br /> <br /> The only comparable non-[[SIC]] dorm is [[Symposium]]. ZBT's advantage over Symposium is that the facilities are better, and there is a huge basement lounge. But on the other hand, the rooms are mostly doubles and triples to make up for the huge square footage.<ref>[http://housing.columbia.edu/housing-options/residences/residential-brownstones ZBT floor plans]</ref><br /> <br /> == References == <references/> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Columbia undergraduate residence halls]]</div>

[[Spectator]] later printed that many of the ZBT members intending to live in the house were instead placed in Plimpton.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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>.<br /> <br /> Although ZBT has not occupied it since 2013, their former house at [[627 West 115th Street]] is still widely known as the "ZBT House," the "former ZBT House," and the "house formerly occupied by ZBT."

<p>Christianist: </p> <hr /> <div>Due to monopoly pricing, textbooks can be expensive.<br /> <br /> == Strategies for avoiding textbook price-gouging ==<br /> ===Don't buy the book===<br /> <br /> Determine if you really need the book. Unless the professor is assigning problems directly from the textbook, it is usually possible to do without. <br /> <br /> ===Borrow the book===<br /> <br /> Sometimes the CU library system has the book you need in its regular collection. If not, you can usually check out a reserve copy from the library and photocopy what you need... or the entire book with our high-tech [[book scanner]]s. Another fruitful library strategy is to use [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/requestit/borrow_direct.html Borrow Direct], which allows you to check out materials from a number of University libraries for a standard term of one month. You can also check if any of the three public library systems in the city has the book (unlikely, but possible).<br /> <br /> ===Buy used textbooks ===<br /> <br /> The CU bookstore sells used textbooks, but also offers them frightfully expensive prices (usually about 10% off new.) For online shopping Powell's, Amazon, or eBay, generally offer better discounts. The [[Morningside Bookstore]] carries some used books as does [[The Strand]] downtown. Often the book tables on Broadway stock books from large lecture classes or Core classes.<br /> <br /> ===Buy textbooks in a third-world country===<br /> <br /> Publisher's often create special editions of textbooks for sale outside the United States. Usually, the foreign editions are stripped down somewhat; softcover instead of hardcover and black & white instead of 4-color, but these editions contain the ''same'' content. Other countries have more liberal interpretations of copyright law and will 'make' you a copy. The easiest way to get these editions is to know someone from one of the countries in question to purchase it for you. Even if you travel to the source, there is no guarantee they will sell you the book.<br /> <br /> ===Download the textbook===<br /> <br /> In this digital age, publishers are often making their textbooks available for download (at least to professors.) I am told by other students that can download these for (ahem) free on something called the Internet. <br /> <br /> Many texts can be downloaded legitimately for free. Many [[Core Curriculum texts]] were written by people who have been dead so long they're out of copyright. Some are so old they were never copyrighted to begin with.

It is written by undergraduate students and operated 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><br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> ''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"<br /> ''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 17, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)<br /> 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><br /> <br /> ===The 1972 Bailout ===<br /> <br /> 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"<br /> ''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 7, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)<br /> 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"<br /> ''New York Times (1857-Current file)''; Dec 17, 1972; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2005)<br /> pg. 2</ref><br /> <br /> ===Turn to broadsheet===<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Nowadays, few people care because who still reads newspapers in print?<br /> <br /> ===The Web===<br /> ''Also see: [[The 2009 Spec Website Takedown]]''<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ===Ending Daily Print Production===<br /> ''Also see: [[End of Daily Print Spectator]]''<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ===Recent spinoffs===<br /> ====Blogs====<br /> <br /> =====Defunct=====<br /> <br /> 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).<br /> <br /> Spec's short-lived attempts at producing successful blogs were frequently mocked by the initially much more successful [[Bwog]] as the "Splogs".<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> =====Current=====<br /> 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 Hannah Josi.<br /> <br /> ====The Eye====<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> As of 2015, The Eye is no longer in print after the rest of the paper switched to weekly print in fall 2014.<br /> <br /> ==Organization & management==<br /> The ''Spec'' is currently run by the 139th managing board. Membership of the current and past boards is listed here: [[Managing Board of the Columbia Daily Spectator]].<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.

<p>Christianist: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Columbia University Chinese Students and Scholars Association''' (official name: Columbia University Chinese Students and Scholars Association:<br /> United for China's Peaceful Rising<ref>http://www.cucssa.org/read3.asp?id=1287</ref>) is a student club, recognised and funded by the [[Student Governing Board]].<br /> <br /> ==Presence and mission==<br /> <br /> Prior to 2007, the CUCSSA included an "advisory board", which was, until recently, made up entirely of employees of a foreign nation's consulate. For that reason, the student club has been accused of being "an arm of the Chinese government" <ref>http://www.bwog.net/articles/falun_gong_web_salvos#comments</ref>. After the shenanigans below, the club took on an OMA employee onto their board. The Chinese consulate officials dropped off shortly thereafter.<br /> <br /> As of December, 2007, the CUCSSA appears to have revamped their web presence, possibly in realisation that the Cultural Revolution is over. They no longer identify themselves as "United for China's Peaceful Rising" (indeed, they appear to be in the middle of writing a new Constitution)<ref>http://www.cucssa.org/pub/modules/tinyd0/index.php?id=6</ref>. Also gone are the dozens of pages of attacks on Falun Gong, replaced instead by exhortations to "[g]et started to outdoor activiety (''sic'') and enjoy all the fun" <ref>http://www.cucssa.org/pub/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=94&forum=10</ref>. Whether this is a genuine realisation that Mao is dead or just a Hundred Flowers-style trap to draw out imperialists and reactionaries into the open before they are served with peoples' justice to build a new motherland on the principles of socialist labour, peasants' rights, and resistance to foreigners and petty bourgeoise capitalism is yet to be seen.<br /> <br /> Oddly enough, the CUCSSA's website appears to be [[w:Great Firewall|blocked]] in mainland China. Who knows. Their antics have probably embarrassed the real [[w:Communist Party of China|Communist Party]].<br /> <br /> ===Falun Gong===<br /> Recent events and efforts of the club have centered around clashes with members of Falun Gong and with other members of the Columbia community.<ref>http://bwog.com/2007/07/14/falun-gong-web-salvos/</ref> In fact, of the 10 items posted under "Lives in NYC" on the CUCSSA website, 9 of these 10 are attacks on Falun Gong. <ref>http://www.cucssa.org/anclass.asp?id=49</ref>. Since it is a recognized group under the [[Student Governing Board]], the organization appears to be a CU-funded arm of the Chinese Consulate focused on anti-Falun Gong manifestoes. And, during breaks from reprinting implausible copy from the Chinese Consulate, white water rafting.<ref>http://www.cucssa.org/read.asp?id=358</ref><br /> <br /> ===De-recognition===<br /> In March 2015, various Chinese and English media outlets reported that the University de-recognized CUSSA (interestingly, no campus publication ran the story). A Columbia spokesperson gave [http://www.forbes.com/sites/jnylander/2015/03/25/columbia-university-closes-chinese-student-organisation/ Forbes] the following quote: "Unfortunately, the ongoing violations of multiple financial and student organizational policies by CUCSSA persisted after the organization had been placed on probation, making the recent disciplinary action unavoidable."<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <references/><br /> <br /> [[Category:Cultural clubs]]<br /> [[Category:SGB groups]]</div>

<p>Christianist: </p> <hr /> <div>{{prefrosh}}<br /> <br /> {{wp-also}}<br /> <br /> {{Infobox reshall<br /> |Name=Wallach<br /> |Image=Wallach.jpg<br /> |Built=[[1904]]<br /> |Renovated= 2012-2013<br /> |Population=235}}<br /> <br /> '''Wallach Hall''' is one of two [[:Category:Columbia undergraduate residence halls|residence halls]] that make up the [[Living Learning Center]]. It was originally known as '''Livingston Hall'''.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Construction on Wallach started in 1904 and was completed in 1905. Wallach is, along with its twin, [[Hartley Hall]], the oldest dormitory on campus. While Hartley was funded by the most mic-drop senior class gift of all time, Wallach was built with University funds to match young Marcellus Dodge. Both are part of the original [[McKim, Mead, and White]] Master Plan. Wallach was originally named Livingston Hall, after [[Robert Livingston|Robert R. Livingston]], a [[King's College]] alumnus active in the American Revolution and the Constitutional Convention. This is ironic because Robert Livingston's uncle, [[William Livingston]], had led some of the most vociferous opposition to the formation of King's College.<br /> <br /> The building was renamed after Columbia College alumnus [[Ira D. Wallach]], who donated $2 million for the building to be completely renovated in 1979, despite the voiced displeasure of alumni.<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19790917-01.2.3 "Alumni named in $4M dorm gift"], Columbia Daily Spectator, Volume CIV, 17 September 1979</ref><ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19791115-01.2.4 "Livingston will be renamed for alum"], Columbia Daily Spectator, Volume CIV, 15 November 1979</ref><ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19800122-01.2.11 "S. Campus rehab costs rise by $1.5 million"], Columbia Daily Spectator, Volume CIV, 22 January 1980</ref> Appropriately, a $2 million gift from alumnus [[Jerome L. Greene]] funded a simultaneous renovation of Hartley, though Greene, unlike Wallach, bowed to sentiment and eventually requested that Hartley not be renamed. <br /> <br /> ===Notable residents===<br /> *[[Hal Chase]], [[Beat Generation]] member<br /> *[[Jack Giorno]], poet who was Andy Warhol's lover<br /> *[[Jack Kerouac]], [[Beat Generation]] author, who preferred it over [[Hartley]] because his room there was a single, had a view of [[South Field]] rather than [[Amsterdam Avenue]], and had fewer cockroaches.<br /> <br /> == Description==<br /> Wallach, like Hartley, has both singles and doubles of various sizes. Singles range from 94 sq ft to 130 sq ft and doubles from 194 sq ft to 222 sq ft. The 9th floor has larger rooms, and the 10th floor is for the building [[CPA]] and his or her friends.<br /> <br /> Rooms used to be priced according to size, and the spendthrifts would therefore nab all the bigger rooms. Wallach was then incorporated in the [[LLC]]. Students who want to live in the LLC must now complete an extensive application. If they are accepted, they are assigned a random lottery number. Students are then able to select an LLC room in order of seniority (senior, junior, sophomore), or if they have the same seniority, in order of lottery number. A large number of sophomores apply in the hope of getting a single, thus avoiding the harsh reality of the normal student's housing lottery.<br /> <br /> Wallach, along with Hartley, is no longer especially popular among seniors due to all these complications.<br /> <br /> Wallach was recently renovated, removing the suites and turning it into a pseudo-Furnald. Hardwood floors, nicer bathrooms, and a fresh coat of paint make it significantly more desirable than Hartley. The walls are still paper-thin though.<br /> <br /> Despite what the Columbia Housing website said until recently, Wallach has no laundry room and residents must use either the one in Hartley (accessible through the tunnel in the basement) or the one in John Jay (also through the basement; especially recommended for B- and C-suite residents).<br /> <br /> == Photos ==<br /> <gallery><br /> Image:WAsingle7A5v1.jpg|Single 7A5, view 1<br /> Image:WAsingle7A5v2.jpg|Single 7A5, view 2<br /> Image:WAsingle7A5v3.jpg|Single 7A5, view 3<br /> Image:WAsingle7A8v1.jpg|Single 7A8<br /> Image:WAdouble3B3v1.jpg|Double 3B3, view 1<br /> Image:WAdouble3B3v2.jpg|Double 3B3, view 2<br /> Image:WAsuiteBlounge.jpg|B-suite lounge<br /> Image:WAsuiteBkitchen.jpg|B-suite kitchen<br /> Image:WAsuiteClounge.jpg|C-suite lounge<br /> Image:WAsuiteCkitchen.jpg|C-suite kitchen<br /> Image:WAmainlounge1.jpg|Main lounge, view 1<br /> Image:WAmainlounge3.jpg|Main lounge, view 2<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> == Floor plans ==<br /> <gallery><br /> Image:Wallach 2001.jpg|Floor 2<br /> Image:Wallach 3001.jpg|Floor 3<br /> Image:Wallach 4001.jpg|Floor 4<br /> Image:Wallach 5001.jpg|Floor 5<br /> Image:Wallach 6001.jpg|Floor 6<br /> Image:Wallach 7001.jpg|Floor 7<br /> Image:Wallach 8001.jpg|Floor 8<br /> Image:Wallach 9001.jpg|Floor 9<br /> Image:wallach 10001.jpg|Floor 10<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> == Map ==<br /> <googlemap lat="40.806081" lon="-73.962077" type="map" zoom="16" width="500" height="300" controls="small"><br /> 40.806081, -73.962077, Wallach residence hall<br /> </googlemap><br /> <br /> == Building address ==<br /> 1116 Amsterdam Ave.<br><br /> New York, NY 10025<br /> <br /> ==Significant contributors==<br /> * [[Tao Tan]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://housingservices.columbia.edu/content/wallach Columbia Housing - Wallach]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <references/><br /> <br /> [[Category:Columbia undergraduate residence halls]]<br /> [[Category:Renamed buildings and facilities]]</div>

It prominently features the ugly mug shot you sent in over the summer before your freshmen year unless you lose it and ask for a new shot with the replacement card. However, [[Alma Mater]] gets more real estate on the card than your face. Saving grace?<br /> <br /> In the summer of 2007 [[Student Services]] announced that they would be rolling out new secure ID cards during the fall semester. <ref>[http://media.www.columbiaspectator.com/media/storage/paper865/news/2007/08/01/News/Columbia.Rolls.Out.More.Secure.Ids-2928948.shtml Columbia Rolls out More Secure IDs - The Spectator 8-1-07]</ref> As of August 13, 2007, all new cards issued by the ID center are the new cards.<br /> <br /> == Design ==<br /> The first all-in-one CUID issued in 1996 featured a now rarely used version of the [[Columbia Crown]]. A subsequent design prominently featured [[Alma Mater]]. CUIDs issued during the 2003-2004 term also featured the ever-present [[CU250]] branding crown on the ID. The design was discontinued at the end of that year. In 2007 the ID center switched designs again. Columbia University and affiliated institutions will be moving to identical ID design layouts, with each institution's card bearing a school-specific image on the left border of the card in addition to the school's name across the top.<br /> <br /> In [[2012]], yet another new design was introduced "[t]o make the University ID card consistent with the current visual identity."<ref>http://idcenter.columbia.edu/</ref>.

Once we finish this project, Columbia will be best in class." Considering that Columbia was among the last Ivy schools to address the SSN-related security concerns, and that peer schools have had Flex type programs and proximity-box based access systems for years, the statement sounds a bit like self-congratulatory back-slapping and begs the question, "Well what the hell took so long?"<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <references/><br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/id/index.html ID Center website]<br /> * [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/id/docs/Card_Swipe_Access/index.html CUID Troubleshooting]<br /> <br /> [[Category:CUID]]</div>

They get a free room, and a $4200 stipend. Their purpose is mainly to sign [[CAVA]]ed freshmen out of [[St. Luke's Hospital]] , but according to the website, "through professional experiences, the graduate assistants support the mission and needs of our office and gain transferable skills." (That's administration-speak at it's best!)<br /> <br /> Candidates for the GA position should be enrolled in a Columbia University graduate school.
