Pinnacle

2007-04-01T16:20:21Z

Go Lions:

'''Pinnacle''', officially '''Pinnacle Gourmet''' serves snacks like pizza, sandwiches, and bagels. It is located on Broadway at 116th St.

Good location. Crap seating. More or less always open. Makes you smell like Pinnacle.

During the subway strike of 2005 Pinnacle's owners forced its outer borough-dwelling employees to sleep in the store, lest they fail to show up the next day.

Columbia University Marching Band

Go Lions: /* History */

[[Image:CUMBpyramid.jpg|300px|thumb|CUMB 2005]]

'''Columbia University Marching Band''' (CUMB), also known as ''The Cleverest Band the World (tm)'' was formed in 1904 and is one of the oldest student groups on campus, and the perpetrator of one of Columbia's only traditions, [[Orgo Night]]

== History ==
[[Image:fascistband.jpg|300px|thumb|The CUMB of yore]]

We used to have a real "rah-rah-let's-go-team" band. That broke up sometime around the early 60s, when fascism became decidedly uncool, and now we have a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scramble_band '''scramble band'''], which prides itself for its witty scripts and definite lack of marching.

As fascism grows more popular, our developing a standard marching band appears more likely. This new band will destroy the environment and offer no-bid contracts to multinational corporations.

Football Team

2007-04-01T16:17:30Z

Go Lions:

Columbia maintains a '''football''' team as an excuse to remain in the very relevant athletic conference known as the [[Ivy League]]. Luckily, most of the other Ivy League schools are relying on the same excuse, so the games don't get too brutal.

The team plays its home games at the beautiful, bucolic, bilateral, urbane, multicultural, eleemosynary, yet still iconoclastic Lawrence A. Wein Stadium at [[Baker Field]] on 218th in the Inwood section of Manhattan. Columbia has a storied football history. One time, the team lost a record 44 games in a row. In 1968, possibly in an effort to bolster fan enthusiasm, the the players beat up on some hippies outside of [[Low Library]]. Heavily recruited football players sometimes come back to speak at Columbia College Class Day.

The football team is currently coached by [[Norries Wilson]].

Go Lions:

The '''Sachems''' are a [[Senior Society]]. They appear to be incorporated as a not-for-profit society under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia.

They were responsible for the Lerner Hall prank of Spring 2005, when the ramps were decorated with saffron sheets to mimic Cristo's installation of "The Gates" in Central Park.

Known faculty sponsors for the group have included Professor of English Edward Said, History Professor Kenneth Jackson, and most recently Gayatri Spivak.
