Materials Science and Engineering Program

2021-10-26T18:01:21Z

Gutenwod:

The '''Materials Science and Engineering Program''' ('''MatSci''') is offered by the [[Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics Department]] in [[SEAS]]. The program focuses on the understanding, synthesis, and processing of advanced materials. Students in materials science make use of the [[Robert A. W. Carleton Strength of Materials Laboratory]] in the basement of [[Mudd]] for research.

The program offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Materials Science. The number of undergraduates per year can generally be counted on one hand.

Contemporary Civilization

2021-10-26T17:36:39Z

Gutenwod: /* First semester */

{{construction}}

'''Contemporary Civilization''', commonly referred to as '''CC''', is part of the [[Columbia College]] [[Core Curriculum]]. It is officially entitled '''Introduction to Contemporary Civilization in the West'''.

Essentially a "Great Books" of philosophy class, it spans two semesters, and is usually taken sophomore year, although this is not necessarily a requirement, as commonly believed.

==History==

On [[January 20]], [[1919]], the college faculty resolved to merge the courses History A and Philosophy A into a new course called "Contemporary Civilization". The class began as a response to the [[First World War]]. Having cooperated with the military to produce a war issues course for student soldiers, they now set about creating a "peace issues" course that would "deal with the present". At first, then, CC had little to do with learning the "Great Books" of philosophy.

Originally, students read mostly secondary sources in standardized, hardcover course readers which included essays by many on the then-current faculty, among other prominent intellectuals. By the 1960s, in the wake of student unrest, the course evolved into a "Great Books" seminar, in the effort to broaden discussion and grant students a closer relationship to the texts and ideas being studied.

In order to supplement the CC curriculum, Dean [[Austin Quigley]] inaugurated the [[CC Coursewide Lecture]] in Fall of [[1999]].

COVID-19

2021-10-03T23:55:20Z

Gutenwod: /* Fall 2022 */

The '''COVID-19''' Novel Coronavirus pandemic has profoundly changed student life for the [[2019]]-[[2020]] and [[2020]]-[[2021]] school years.

== Timeline of Events ==

=== January 2020 to early March ===
*Concerns building around the pandemic, especially for New York City.
*Near the end of this period, Columbia administration keeping in eye on the infection rates, peer schools like NYU and other Ivies, and creating their own University COVID-19 Task Force with infectious disease professors, upper-level administration, and other appointees.

===March===
*After a period of uncertainty, students were told to leave campus, barring special circumstances. This was relatively well-received, compared to peer schools like Princeton.
*Columbia Housing directed students to two external moving and storage companies. Due to extreme load, this ended up working out badly, and many students were forced to leave their belongings or pay large amounts to ship them to their home addresses.

=== Remainder of Spring 2020 ===
*The semester moved to P/F (not P/D/F) for both [[SEAS]] and [[CC]] students.
*Many professors chose to cancel their final exams in favor of projects due to the P/F policy and timezone differences.

=== Fall 2020 ===
*Both Summer 2020 and Fall 2020 were shifted back to letter-grading.
*Most student concerns centered around too much [[Zoom]] and screen usage, academic honesty, and timezones. Only classes under the Engineering department were required to be recorded and asynchronous.
*On November 16th, 2020, [[ESC]] announced that they had convinced the Columbia administration to allow SEAS undergrads to take one class P/D/F, regardless of class level or subject, including major requirements. This policy came in stark contrast to the usual SEAS P/D/F policy, which allows students to P/D/F one 3000+ level humanities class per semester. With this new policy, students had a chance to select the P/D/F grading option up until the last day of classes, and after learning their final grade in the class, had the option to uncover the Pass if they chose.
*Soon after, on November 18th, [[CCSC]] announced the same policy would also apply to CC students. No such policy was extended to GS or Barnard students.

=== Spring 2021 ===
*Despite many high hopes, Columbia did not return to normal in the spring of 2021.
*CC and SEAS seniors were guaranteed housing, while everyone else got the boot (students with extenuating circumstances had the option to petition for housing, and many received it).
*Barnard guaranteed housing for seniors and freshmen, while sophomores and juniors got the short end of the stick. As with Columbia, Barnard students could also petition for housing if they had extenuating circumstances, but because of Barnards limited dorm space, very few were accepted.
*Despite it's best efforts to de-densify campus, around 70-80% of the undergrad population returned to NYC, scattered across dorms and off-campus apartments in [[Morningside Heights]].
*To safely allow this much higher volume of students, Columbia developed a rigorous [https://www.wikicu.com/Columbia_testing_program testing program].
*Courses were shifted to a hybrid modality, where each professor had control over how much they wanted to teach in-person or online, with in-person teaching staying within NYC guidelines of course. The vast majority of professors decided to stick with the online format, and classes that did go hybrid had mixed effectiveness.
*Facilities slowly opened up. Libraries were available to students who signed up for 4-hour time slots. [[Dodge Gym]] reopened for use. Undergrad labs once again began hiring undergrad students.
*During the winter, Columbia set up heated outdoor tents for students to have a safe place to socialize without freezing to death.

=== Fall 2022 ===
*All students were welcomed back to campus with vaccine documentation or a really good excuse
*In-person classes resumed, while restrictions remained for the sizes of other gatherings
*After an uptick in cases in mid-September, which the administration blamed on on and off-campus parties, students were banned from inter-dorm travel. About one week later, the ban was amended to allow students to sign in one [[Undergraduate Guest]] to their dorm at a time.

JJ's Place

2020-09-20T21:30:59Z

Gutenwod:

'''JJ's Place''' is the late-night [[Dining Services|dining]] location at Columbia that is only closed between 10 AM and 12 PM. JJ's is located in the basement of [[John Jay Hall]]. Like [[John Jay Hall]] or [[Ferris Booth Commons]], Columbia students may use a meal plan swipe to gain access. Barnard students can also spend points to access JJ's, although there exists a complicated history of Barnard students being barred from using the facility. The location used to house a student cooperative organic market. It was at one time an on-campus bar, serving alcohol to upperclassmen.

JJ's menu features chicken tenders, burgers, smoothies, fries, and other artery-clogging options, as well as a salad bar. The staff is also fun, nice, and all-around awesome. There is a candy-by-the-pound rack and a small "mini-mart" section where you can use swipes to purchase various grab-n-go snacks and drinks. The to-go section is also an abysmal deal, considering that only 4 items, each worth less than a dollar, will cost you a full meal swipe.

== History ==
Prior to JJ's Place, the basement of John Jay Hall was occupied by the [[Lion's Den]]. When the Den moved to [[Ferris Booth Hall]], the space was renamed the "Crown Room", although undergraduates were at times excluded from the space.<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19601007-01.2.3</ref> Later, part of the Crown Room became the "John Jay Pub", which closed in the summer of 1985 after New York raised its minimum drinking age to 21, effectively killing off its business.<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19850828-01.2.3 Drinking Age Cited in Closing of John Jay Pub], Columbia Spectator, 28 August 1985</ref> The space was then renamed the "John Jay Lodge" following a renovation that gave it a hunting lodge theme (though some students uncharitably compared the decor to a "French harlot house" and the "Amityville Horror.")<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19870331-01.2.5</ref><ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19870317-01.2.8.1</ref><ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19870211-01.2.16</ref>

== Interior ==
JJ's has OK seating with lots of tacky timber. LCD televisions were installed in [[2006]] at each booth, and there's a television at the far end of the room which primarily features [[w:ESPN|ESPN]], though can be changed to different channels using the handy channel up/down buttons on the front. It also has wifi. They have a foosball table.

It was recently renovated in the summer of 2012, turning its once run-down appearance into a dining hall reminiscent of Applebee's, complete with sound system and bright orange and green paint. There's used to be a (broken) air hockey table, as well as a Jamba Juice machine with various flavors. Rumor is the CEO of Jamba Juice's daughter, who attends Columbia, made this happen.

The facility was originally designed to resemble a German ''[[w:rathskeller|rathskeller]]'', which explains the roof beams. A heaving stone hearth off to one side bears an inscription memorializing Columbians who lost their lives in the [[First World War]].

== Opening hours ==
JJ's is only closed from 10AM to 12PM daily.

Initially, it was closed on weekend nights, but starting in Fall 2011, JJ's Place opened on weekend nights as well.

Hamilton Deli

2020-09-20T21:27:26Z

Gutenwod:

[[Image:Hamdell.jpg|thumb|right|Patrons in line at Ham Del]]

'''Hamilton Deli''' or '''HamDel''' is a small sandwich shop/supermarket on [[Amsterdam]] between 115th and [[116th Street|116th]] Streets. It was established in [[1991]]. Ask for the gold card and you'll get a free sandwich after 10 purchases.

HamDel has awesome sandwiches and rapid-fire service. It also has cleverly named burgers, delicious breakfast sandwiches, overstuffed heroes, and a fresh salad bar that's better than the ones at [[Strokos]] and [[Milano Market]].

Often infested by law and business students, it's one of the few eateries open 24/7 during [[finals]]. Maybe this is one of the reasons it was once [[Meghan McCain]]'s favorite local restaurant.

== ABC Special ==

The '''ABC Special''' is a sandwich which is not on the menu at Hamilton Deli. To get it, you have to know what it is and ask for it specifically. It is:
* Chicken salad wrapped in cheddar cheese
* Optional lettuce and tomatoes
* Placed between two slices of buttered toast

It's fattalicious. And extremely expensive for a tiny sandwich at $4.88 after tax.

== Tour de HamDel ==

The '''Tour de HamDel''' is a grueling gamut run only by the stout of heart (a gold card is also nice). To complete it, one must consume at least one of every single type of combination hero at Hamilton Deli, not omitting the ones on the red and green signs on the side. This is 29 sandwiches in all, including the elusive Philly Chicken Steak. [[Rob Trump]] was the first person on record to complete the Tour (though it's quite possible he made it up himself).

In January of 2008, HamDel introduced a combination hero, the Buffalo Blue. The Blue consists of a chicken cutlet slathered in mozzarella, bleu cheese, and Buffalo wing sauce. Trump's reign proved short-lived, as [[Peter Mende-Siedlecki]], CC '07 and current employee of the [[Psychology Department]], beat him to the Blue. Mende-Siedlecki, a Buffalonian himself, thinks the new sandwich is awful, but worth it. The defeated Trump stalked off somewhere to write the [[Morningside Hates (114th Annual Varsity Show)|114th Annual Varsity Show]].

In February of 2009, however, a reversal of Herculean proportions occurred once again upon the release of the Ben Arnold. Rob took the opportunity to scarf one down just as Peter was returning from [[Dartmouth]]. Rob pulled into the lead again, claiming the Tour de HamDel title, at least until the next sandwich premieres. A [http://peterandrobmakelistsofthings.blogspot.com/2009/02/top-10-sandwiches-at-hamilton-deli.html list] of the Top 10 HamDel sandwiches has recently found its way onto the internet.

The introduction of 24 hour [[JJ's]] is mourned as the reason HamDel reduced their hours from 24 to 18, as it severely impacted their business.

==Hours==

Captain Bayonne

2020-09-20T02:56:34Z

[[Image:bayonne.png|thumb|Captain Bayonne immediately post-launch, with water bottle visible in the air and target trash cans at left]]

'''Captain Bayonne''' is the superhero persona of Jimmy Olson, who works in the Columbia Admissions Department. The name is derived from Olson's citizenship in the town of Bayonne, NJ, directly across the Hudson from Manhattan. He is best known for his public excercises in front of the [[Low Library Steps]] in a ski mask and seasonal tights. After a few minutes of stretching, Captain Bayonne will take to launching water bottles using his feet, aiming for the trash cans that line the plaza. To accomplish this, Bayonne performs a semi-kicking, semi-throwing motion. It's kind of difficult to explain, but you won't forget it when you see it. His warmup moves are also entertaining - for example, when he curls up on his back on the ground and rocks back and forth.

Now that you know that his name is 'Captain Bayonne', there's no need to be a noob and call him 'mask man' or the equivalent.

==In Media==
Given that Captain Bayonne does his excercises weekly, you become a bit desensitized to his prescence. That doesn't stop dozens of new Columbians from posting him on their Snapchat story or Twitter(and let's face it, it still pretty fun to watch no matter how many times you've seen it). Just please don't become as oblivious as to walk between Bayonne and his target. A Tiktok of Captain Bayonne has reached semi-virality.

==Community Presence==
In addition to being a gem on the Columbia campus, Bayonne is also heavily involved in affairs in his hometown. Through his facebook page, Captain Bayonne coordinates fundraisers and food drives that serve the local Bayonne community.

The '''SEAS Gala''' is an annual dance party for [[SEAS]] undergraduates established in [[2020]] by the [[ESC]].

== 2020 SEAS Gala ==

The first SEAS Gala was held on Friday, February 14 - Valentines Day. This decision may have been based on great confidence in the events hype factor, or that SEAS students are simply so single that they would not have any conflicting plans that night. Features of the night included an appearance by Dean [[Mary Boyce]], a photo booth, and JJ's food. The dress code was cocktail, with the actual turnout being anything from prom dress to jeans.

Ferris Booth Commons

2020-09-19T15:40:31Z

Gutenwod:

'''Ferris Booth Commons''' is a dining location on the third floor of [[Lerner Hall]]. Its name is a nod to Lerner Hall's predecessor, [[Ferris Booth Hall]]. Ferris Booth Commons is more commonly known as just "Ferris" and is generally the go-to campus eatery when you get sick of John Jay.

In spring of 2010, it was announced that Ferris would become a second dining hall as part of the changes to the dining plan that are scheduled to take effect in fall 2010. Students will be able to swipe into Ferris just like they do into [[John Jay Dining Hall|John Jay]] and eat all the pasta they desire. However, the a-la-carte options such as sushi and bottled beverages have been moved downstairs to [[Cafe 212]].

The dining hall has a buffet station serving breakfast and dinner, an avocado toast bar, a salad bar, a waffle maker, a pasta station, cold sandwiches, and a stir fry area. Popular dishes include buffalo burritos, three-bean burritos, and...firecracker burritos. The pizza is inedible, and is known to be a vehicle for whatever is left in the Ferris pantry, such as chickpeas, olives and onions, parsley, and macaroni. However, the staff at the dessert bar are willing to give you an entire cheesecake if you claim it's your birthday.

Ferris became the center of a nationwide scandal in spring 2013 when a CCSC member issued a statement to the Class of 2016 Facebook group claiming that dining was set to spend a quarter of a million dollars a year on its most recently introduced item, Nutella. Allegations of students stealing jars and cups filled with Nutella led to a good deal of press coverage from Gawker, CNN, the New Yorker, and even the New York Times portraying Columbia students as privileged kids dining on lobster tails, or even worse - Nutella addicts. The hype died down when Dining released a surprisingly and, some might say, inappropriately humorous statement saying the the original figure was unfounded, and Nutella would remain a menu item.

Ferris also has an infamous spiral staircase separating the upper floor from the much more crowded main floor. Only one person can pass at a time, leading to awkward confrontations between two people holding plates meeting at the middle. The stairs themselves are also cracked, with much of the rubber peeling.Though there have been movements to remove the treacherous staircase, specifically on [[WTF Columbia]], people have said that this cannot be done due to the fact that the staircase is an integral structure to Lerner Hall. One estimate put the cost of repairing the staircase at $500,000. That's two years worth of Nutella! The final solution has been to rope the stairs off, leaving them as a permanent and ugly sculpture.

==Beware of the eggs!==
Many freshmen enter Columbia believing eggs are generally a safe bet. Not so at Columbia! The atrocities witnessed against the good product of roost in the hallowed halls of Lerner have traumatized generations of innocents.
*'''Hard-Boiled-Eggs''' The implausibility that something as basic as hard-boiled eggs can be ruined still rattles the foundations of seniors. Yet, [[Sysco]] manages it. So as to avoid any infractions from the health department, the eggs are kept at below freezing temperatures. Moreover, the ''inferior'' raw material makes for a thin white.
*'''Scrambled-Eggs''' Despite the fact that every crummy motel with "[[Continental Breakfast]]" satisfactorily sets out a tray of edible scrambled eggs, the art eludes Columbia dining. Without fail, each morning an aluminum bin filled with goopy uncooked yet overcooked eggs that reek of petrol is set out. The [[CUMB]] is known to run [[Twitter]] statuses assessing the "Ferris Booth Scrambled Egg Threat Level."
*'''Fried-Eggs and Omelets''' The ultimate philosophical question of freshman year is "what is an omelet?" Every dining hall offers its own iteration the eggy dish, and each is extremely distinct. To the guardian of the John Jay grill, an omelet is an egg pocket. To the good chefs of Ferris, an omelet is anything discus-shaped and burnt. None of this is helped by the fact that some athletes have been known to ask for six-eggs omelets.

In conclusion, beware of the eggs.

Van Amringe Quadrangle and Memorial

2020-09-19T15:26:56Z

Gutenwod:

[[Image:Vanamquad.jpg|thumb|right|Van Am Quad and Memorial]]

The '''Van Amringe Quadrangle''', popularly known as '''Van Am Quad''', is located between [[Hamilton Hall|Hamilton]] and [[John Jay Hall|John Jay]] Halls, immediately in front of [[Wallach Hall]], [[Hartley Hall]] and the [[Taint Gate]]. The quadrangle is named after [[John Howard Van Amringe]], the popular [[Dean of Columbia College|Dean]] of [[Columbia College]]. It consists of two lawns separated by the '''Van Amringe Memorial''', a rotunda housing a bust of Van Amringe flanked by inscribed benches.

The area around the rotunda and [[Taint Gate]] is considered one of the most picturesque spots on campus. Bright-eyed first years and also smokers congregate at the rotunda to live out their Cambridge fantasies. The gate itself is topped by a working clock donated by the Class of [[1906]].

Until very recent decades, [[Columbia College]] [[Class Day]] was held here rather than on [[South Field]].

In [[2011]], the lawns, where grass had struggled to grow for years, were re-landscaped with sand-colored gravel and picnic tables and benches were added.<ref>[http://spectrum.columbiaspectator.com/spectrum/what-do-you-think Spectrum post with picture], written by a student who thought the space needed a new name. To be fair, "Alexanderplatz" is pretty clever.</ref>

==Inscriptions==
* The Rotunda is ringed with the dedication "Honored and Beloved by Generations of Columbia Students, His Life and Influence Will Be Example and Inspiration to Those Who Come After".
* The floor inside the rotunda (surrounding the bust of Van Amringe) reads: "John Howard Van Amringe / Beloved Dean of Columbia College / The Light He Leaves Behind Him Shines Upon the Paths of Men".
* The Rotunda is flanked to the north and south by benches, each with a heavily weathered carved quotations from speeches by Van Amringe. The quotes are getting harder and harder to read. The north bench reads "Religion and Learning are Justified of Their Children / To Extend and Intensify Their Elevating And Twice Blessed / Power This College and University Avowedly Exist." On the south bench is carved "Be Brave Faithful and True By Precept and Example / Stand Always and Everywhere for Rectitude of / Conduct and Righteousness of Life."
* On the lawn directly south west of the rotunda is stone marker recognizing the College Class of 1952's 35th Anniversary gift to restore the Van Amringe Memorial.

East Campus

2020-09-19T02:24:26Z

Gutenwod: /* Disadvantages */

{{wp-also2|East Campus (Columbia University)}}

{{Infobox reshall
|Name=East Campus
|Image=[[File:Eastcampus.jpeg|thumb]]
|Built=[[1981]]
|Renovated=[[1991]] Townhouses in [[2003]] Floors 18-20 in [[2004]]
|Population=723}}
'''East Campus''' (in common parlance, '''EC''', but technically named Henry Hudson Hall) is a large complex abutting [[Morningside Drive]] between 118th Street and [[Faculty House]], although it only opens onto campus, facing the opposite direction. Much of the structure consists of Columbia's largest residence hall - and one of its most desirable. The rest is occupied by university offices and meeting spaces.

A $28.7 million dollar facility, it was designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates architects and built from [[1979]] - [[1982]]. It was completely renovated in [[1991]], and has received additional renovations in [[1997]], [[2002]], and [[2004]].

Although consisting of a single structure, the building is technically made up of 10 "townhouses" (8 of which are individually named: Carleton House; Wien House; McGill House; Ritter House; Buttenwieser House; Moses House; Kresge House; and Watson House), and a high-rise, properly known as "Hudson Hall" after [[SEAS]] alumnus Percy K. Hudson, but nobody uses their proper names. It probably doesn't help that EC is the dorm the furthest from the [[Hudson River]].

EC is a large structure with multiple facilities, some containing their own exterior entrances, others hidden within the residence hall's security screen. The security-controlled entrance to the dormitory building, the [[Heyman Center]], and the [[Faculty in Residence]] apartment is located on [[Ancel Plaza]]. Separate entrances to the [[Center for Career Education]] and the [[Facilities Management]] office are located in the bowels of the EC complex, next to [[Wien Hall]] and across from [[Faculty House]].

== History ==

===Early plans===

[[Image:Earlyec.jpg|thumb|right|Early, twin tower design for EC]]

An earlier plan for East Campus (1965), by [[Max Abramovitz|Harrison and Abramovitz]] architects, included twin concrete slab towers.<ref>[http://www.morningside-heights.net/ecp2.htm Unbuilt: Original East Campus Proposal] at Morningside Heights neighborhood website</ref> Along with the rest of the ambitious expansion plans of University President [[Grayson L. Kirk]], it was scrapped in the wake of the [[1968 protests]] against, among other things, a university gym proposed for nearby Morningside Park. When expansion finally did reach East Campus, by the late 1970s, the university was seeking a more humanist design, one which would both harmonize better with the surrounding campus and reflect, to some degree, the residential college quads of [[University of Oxford|Oxford]] and [[Yale]].

===Opening and response===

East Campus received its first residents in January of [[1981]]. These were the former occupants of [[Hartley]] and [[Livingston Hall]]s, which had begun to be gutted for conversion from individual rooms to suite layouts a month earlier, at the close of the Fall Semester, [[1980]]. This compulsory relocation over the Winter vacation was marked by the widespread theft, vandalism and careless destruction of students' possessions by the "Seven Santini Brothers," the moving firm hired by Columbia to shovel everyone's belongings into the new building. When East Campus opened, students appreciated its expansive suite space, commanding views, and spacious townhouses, which were a refreshing contrast to the cramped conditions prevailing in much of the rest of the University's housing.

Not all, however, was unalloyed bliss.<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19810120-01.2.2 "Returning students greeted by dormitory crisis - 'Luxury' rooms lack heat, water and electricity"], Columbia Daily Spectator, Volume CV, 20 January 1981</ref> The building had fallen far behind schedule and was therefore still under construction, with many workmen showing up every morning at 7:30AM, cheerfully wielding hammers, drills, and, most entertainingly of all, nail guns, the concussive staccato of which provided a daily surefire wake-up call for several weeks. Further contributing to the festive ambiance was the lack of televisions in the TV lounges and washers and dryers in the Laundry Room, carpeting that had been apparently liberally marinated in Benzene, empty sockets in the bathrooms where the electrical outlets were intended to be, HVAC consoles that were unalterably tuned to Full Depths of Hell settings combined with windows that were blocked to open no further than 2 inches, and a fiendishly inventive sewer system that ensured that the flushing of any single toilet anywhere in the structure instantaneously supplied 211 degrees F water to every shower head in the building. And never to be overlooked were the rats who, having been routed from their erstwhile homes on the construction site, adamantly declined to be displaced by the new arrivals, instead making delightfully impromptu, random appearances throughout.

Many of the outer townhouses were donated and built by famous Columbia University benefactors. The most notable of these is [[Thomas J. Watson, Jr.]] who donated the popular [[Watson House]]. Donor [[George Delacorte]], for whom the building's central courtyard is formally named, said of his former room at the university "we had two nails on the wall for a closet...now I've paid for a dormitory where boys loll around in marble bathtubs." The bathrooms are not, however, actually marble, but imitate that material.<ref>"Columbia Dedicates New Suites and Townhouses for Students" in the ''New York Times'', June 4, 1981</ref>

East Campus' original red and white tile cladding was praised as innovative by architectural critics. The American Institute of Architects' Guide to New York City called it "elegant and handsome".

Despite such positive views, reception to the building was mixed overall. ''[[New York Times]]'' architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable wrote of East Campus:

<blockquote>"Consider a building that has to be vandal-proof, constructed of maintenance-free materials with every surface resistant to neglect and abuse, where violation of design and function must be an anticipated fact, along with defacement and petty thievery -- a place where surveillance is a necessity and population is transient. A description of a minimum security prison? Not at all. This is a dormitory for Columbia University... it is easy to see how an austerely simple aesthetic can be brought down to this dispiriting level..."<ref>(Architecture, Anyone? p.236)</ref></blockquote>

Within 3 years of students moving in, the building was still a mess, leading the Spectator to run a major piece subtitled "Dream Dorm in Decay" investigating the buildings chronic problems, with the architect blaming the contractor for shoddy work, and the contractor blaming students for vandalizing the building.<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19831115-01.2.2</ref>

===Early Violence===

Due to its proximity to [[Morningside Park]], EC had, early on, acquired a reputation for being within range of one of the city's most dangerous high crime areas. Legends told of bullets whizzing past residents' heads while they were in their rooms.<ref>http://nymag.com/news/features/64944/index1.html</ref> As it were, the threat turned out to be closer to home: on [[October 10]], [[1985]], a SEAS student, [[Sarah M. Thomas]], was stabbed in her East Campus suite by an intruder, a man who had been signed in as a guest by another resident. It was one of a number of violent crimes in the Columbia dormitories during the 1980s..<ref>"Intruder Stabs Student in Columbia Dormitory" by Keith Schneider in the ''New York Times'', October 11, 1985</ref>

===Reconstruction===

An inspection in [[1987]] revealed that the tiled exterior which had earned the building accolades had begun to peel off its facade and a large chunk collapsed into its courtyard in February [[1988]]. This prompted the university to order its recladding, a $15 million project handled by the architects Gruzon Sampton Steinglass, in the campus' traditional red brick and limestone. In the course of the scandal, Columbia sued both Gwathmey Siegel and the engineering firm that had worked on the project.<ref>"Columbia Dormitory, A New Facade," in the ''New York Times'', June 23, 1991</ref>

===Later history===

In [[2006]], a homophobic message written on a dry-erase board in East Campus was denounced as a hate crime, the sixth one alleged that year, and prompted the creation of the contrversial student group [[SHOCC]].

The 6th floor of the building contains the East Campus Hotel, which is operated by Conference Housing, a subunit of [[Housing Services]]. While the entire floor used to be used only for guests (usually alumni or speakers coming to campus), almost all of the rooms have been converted into double-occupancy rooms with a private bath that are selectable in the annual [[Housing Lottery]]. As of 2010, the west side of the hall is now occupied by almost entirely returning students whereas the east is occupied by mostly transfers. Typically, sophomores pick into these spacious rooms, mostly because juniors and seniors find the lack of a suite and kitchen undesirable.

===Lobby Redesign===

In the summer of [[2012]], work began on renovations to EC's front lobby, and supposedly the eventual construction of entrance turnstiles to alleviate traffic concerns (read: get drunk people in and out faster). In typical Columbia fashion, work extended well into the Fall [[2012]] semester. The lobby, completed before December, resembles an ocean-side hotel. The turnstiles finally became active in early [[2013]], but in any given week at least one of them is broken at a time.

==Famous residents==

East Campus was home to US presidential adviser and television news personality [[George Stephanopoulos]], and actors [[Matthew Fox]], [[Julia Stiles]] and [[Rider Strong]], all of whom lived in the Watson House townhouse. Controversial political cartoonist [[Ted Rall]] also lived in East Campus, but was kicked out after targeting pedestrians below his window with water balloons.<ref>[http://www.tedrall.com/longarticle_002.htm Fatal Defenstration: Men Who Love Gravity Too Much] on Ted Rall's website</ref>

== Facilities ==

East Campus has four types of suites: townhouses, high-rise 5-person suites, high-rise 6-person suites, and 2-person flats.

The 5-person suites were formally [[exclusion suites]] but are now available during the group (in-person) selection phase of Housing.

Every suite has a kitchen and bathroom.

=== Suites ===

: Last one was taken by ? in 2003, 30/1830 in 2004, 30/2913 in 2005, 30/1836 in 2006.

== Advantages ==
* Large suite lounges.
* Suite bathrooms.
* Recently-built.
* Air conditioning.
* Clean. Mostly. Sometimes.
* Strong community, which even includes a faculty family in residence which will invite residents up for food.
* Upper floors were recently renovated and have new flooring.
* Dishwashers in 5- and 6-person suites.
* You can host huge parties without getting into [actual] trouble.
* The view from the top floor is the best you can get without being exorbantly rich.
* Very spacious living rooms.

== Disadvantages ==
* Frequently malfunctioning highrise elevators (this is not a problem if you live in one of the townhouses).
* Ever walk barefoot on the stairs inside a highrise suite? Concrete stairs suck.
* Glacial temperatures from the A/C during the summer... even if it's off!
* The heaters get hot enough to shatter, or at least severely crack, a window.
* Depressing courtyard that trash blows around
* Freshman and their lack of ability to hold their liquor.

== Tunnel/roof connections ==

===[[Wien]]===
Take elevator to B3, but access is by key only and you won't get the key. Then there's the issue of the camera which is monitored at the front desk.

===Roof===
EC's roof is perhaps the best view on campus. Harlem? Check. Midtown? Check. Yankee Stadium? Check. Jersey? True connoisseurs know to climb the stairs and then the ladder to get to the very top of the utility room on the middle of the roof. Don't fall off. Take the elevator to 20. If you take the south staircase, look out for the camera (wear a hoodie?) and hope for the door to be propped open. If it's closed, just be aware that setting off a fire alarm is a crime, and FDNY will be mad at you, because they will come. If you take the north staircase, you'll find another fire door, with an interesting keypad contraption. Enter the appropriate code, and the door will open without setting off the fire alarm. It will, however, alert security that the door has been opened. Security's response time is unimpressive, but this method does not lend itself to a nice leisurely visit. If the door's propped, just cover your face on the way up and you should be fine. If it isn't, then be brief. Consider the security response time from Low Library to EC 20, and budget your time accordingly.

Dodge Hall

2020-09-19T02:19:42Z

[[Image:DodgeFront.jpg|thumb|300px|Dodge Hall]]

'''Dodge Hall''' is the home of the [[School of the Arts]], the [[Music Department|Department of Music]], and the [[Miller Theatre|Kathyrn Bache Miller Theatre]]. The [[GS]] web page describes Dodge Hall as as having a "great espresso bar", i.e. the [[Blue Java]] location in the lobby where you can buy a yogurt cup for $7.

It also houses the [[Gabe M. Weiner Music and Arts Library]], the [[Center for Ethnomusicology]], the [[LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies]] and [[LeRoy Neiman Gallery|gallery]], the [[Digital Media Center]], and the [[Lifetime Screening Room]].

Chances are that you'll take your [[Music Hum]] class here.

Dodge was originally built for the [[Columbia Business School|Business School]] with a $700,000 gift from [[Emerson McMillin]], a utilities magnate, in [[1919]]. McMillan had originally pledged $600,000 in stock in [[1916]], but held off due to [[World War I]]. In 1919 he made the transfer along with an extra $100,000 that he decided to let the University keep. The building didn't have a formal name until [[1965]] when it was renamed in honor of the late [[Marcellus Hartley Dodge]].<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19641105-01.2.5</ref> The only recognition that McMillin took was in the naming the public theater/lecture hall in the building which has since been renamed [[Miller Theater]]. The plaque in the lobby of Miller dating back to its original dedication and honoring McMillan is still visible.

Incidentally, the construction of Dodge also led to the construction of [[Faculty House]]. In order to build Dodge, the [[Bloomingdale Insane Asylum]] [[Superintendent's House]], which had housed the Men's Faculty Club, had to be demolished. In order to placate the irate faculty, President [[Nicholas Murray Butler|Butler]] promised them a new toy.

The business school moved into [[Uris Hall]] when it needed more space in the 1960s.

Buell Hall

Gutenwod:

[[Image:Buell.jpg|thumb|240px|Buell Hall]]
[[Image:OldBuell.jpg|thumb|240px|Buell in its original location]]

'''Buell Hall''' (also known in the past as '''College Hall''', '''Alumni House''' and '''East Hall''')<ref>"[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19560508-01.2.10 "The Lion is Busy"], Columbia Spectator, 8 May 1956</ref>, is the only remaining building on the [[Morningside Heights campus]] that dates back to Columbia's predecessor on the site, the [[Bloomingdale Insane Asylum]]. As such, it is the oldest building on campus. Today Buell is better known as "'''[[Maison Française]]'''" as the French cultural house is the primary occupant of the building, though it shares the building with gallery space for [[GSAPP]] and GSAPP's [http://www.arch.columbia.edu/Buell/ Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture], which strangely has its office in [[Avery Hall|Avery]] anyway.

== History ==

Designed in [[1885]] and built to a design by Ralph Townsend, with a gift from William H. Macy (a rich 19th century gentleman, not the actor), '''Macy Villa''', as it was originally called, was a residential facility for wealthy male insane people, so that they wouldn't have to mix with the hoi polloi in the more "institutional" main buildings. In the spring of [[1895]], Columbia's [[Crew]] team took possession of the Villa for their use.<ref>[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A0DE7DB103AE533A25756C2A9659C94649ED7CF COLUMBIA'S IMPROVED CREW.; Has Moved Into Macy Cottage and Is Doing Good Work.], New York Times, March 25, 1895</ref> Thereafter it housed [[Columbia College]] until [[Hamilton Hall]]'s construction, and later was used to house the offices of the [[Bursar]], the [[Registrar]], [[Dean of the graduate faculties]], [[Provost]], [[Alumni Council]], [[Committee on Employment for Students]], and the [[Committee on Undergraduate Admissions]]. It also housed the [[Columbia University Press]]. As of at least [[1912]], the building was thought to be temporary.

Prior to the construction of [[Kent Hall]], Buell actually sat on 116th street. It was physically moved back to make way for the new building, and in the process, the deep wooden porches that had surrounded the building were removed. Until [[1964]], Buell Hall housed offices of the [[School of General Studies]].

La Maison Française moved into the building in [[1977]].<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19741126-01.2.4 [[Deutsches Haus]] had refused to move there 3 years earlier. (http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19741126-01.2.4)</ref> Founded in 1913, La Maison Française is the oldest French cultural center established on an American university campus. It is a meeting place for students, scholars, business leaders, policy-makers and those seeking a better understanding of the French and Francophone world.

Buell Hall also houses the Temple Hoyne Center for the Study of American Architecture, the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery and Columbia's Headquarters for Japanese Architectural Studies and Advanced Research.

The first floor has a gallery space and is one of the venues for the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation's end-of-year exhibition in May.

== Tunnel/roof connections ==

===[[Kent Hall]]===
Kent cannot be accessed from inside Buell. To get to the basement, you must either travel through the hot tunnels and climb up the ladder from Kent, or break the lock on the grate on the east side of the building, then go down and through the half door, and down the ladder. So its really only a dead-end; there is no exit from Buell. If you were to continue past Buell northwards you would get blocked at a hot mass of pipes, beyond which are connections to [[Uris Hall]], [[Low Library]], and [[St. Paul's]].

Although there are no alarms or cameras, this is probably the most physically dangerous passage on campus. You are in a passage that is 5 1/2 feet tall, with scalding-hot water dripping from uninsulated steam pipes all around you. There are no lights, muddy pitted floors, and exposed electrical wires. Not to mention the heat and humidity - it is unbearably hot (>100F) and moist (100%). The air is thick with dust (and probably asbestos too). There is no one to hear your screams if you are hurt. You could rot for years down here without being found. I guarantee that no maintenance person has been here in decades. It misses the 10/10 mark only because there is virtually no risk of being caught.

Do not go here if you are unfamiliar with tunnel exploration. If you must go, do not go alone. At least 3 people is recommended. Bring a light long-sleeved garment and a hat/hood to protect you from boiling water drops. You'll be hot, but at least you won't get scalded. Show as little skin as possible to reduce your risk. Bring at least 3 sources of light. Imagine this is an actual cave, it has all the dangers of one and more. Water is a good thing to bring, cause you will sweat like a pig. Tell someone that isn't going with you where you are going, just in case you don't come back.

== Fire Escape ==
One can climb the fire escape stairs to the second floor of Buell and sit there until Public Safety tells you to get off.

Living-Learning Center

2020-09-19T02:10:26Z

Gutenwod:

The '''Living-Learning Center''' (LLC) comprises [[Hartley Hall|Hartley]] and [[Wallach Hall|Wallach]] residence halls. The LLC generally has more community programming and floor events than other dorms, although these are seldom (if ever) mandatory. It houses a portion of first year students, as well as sophomores, juniors and seniors. Few student actually comply with these requirements, as the [[Resident Adviser]]s don't really want to do it either, let alone force others to participate. LLC administration has attempted to crack down on this by making the LLC application ridiculously long to discourage students who just want the room. As a result, applications have plunged in the last two years. Some say that the residents are actually more dedicated now, but many residents say otherwise. The LLC tends to be short on freshman who want to live there, and is sometimes the university is forced to place freshman there who would rather live somewhere else (John Jay).

== Advantages and disadvantages of living in the LLC ==

=== Advantages ===
* Great suite lounges that feel like a real living room.
* Kitchen and bathroom are in the suite, so you can cook and don't have to traipse down a long corridor in a bathrobe.
* About half of the rooms for freshmen are singles.
* The LLC is more sociable than [[John Jay Hall]] and [[Furnald Hall]] (but less than [[Carman Hall]]).
* The elevator is reliable (but damn slow).
* Piano in the Wallach lounge and pool + ping-pong tables in the Hartley lounge
* Best chance to get a single if you're a sophomore.

=== Disadvantages ===
* Bathrooms are co-ed, but you get used to it.
* Suite common areas end up pretty dirty because not everyone in the suite are friends.
* There's more "community programming" events and stuff than in other dorms, since it's supposed to be the "Living-Learning Center". Nobody takes it seriously, not even the RAs.

Wallach Hall

2020-09-19T02:08:16Z

Gutenwod:

{{prefrosh}}

{{wp-also}}

{{Infobox reshall
|Name=Wallach
|Image=[[FIle:Wallach.jpg]]
|Built=[[1904]]
|Renovated= 2012-2013
|Population=235}}

'''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'''.

== History ==
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.

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.

===Notable residents===
*[[Hal Chase]], [[Beat Generation]] member
*[[Jack Giorno]], poet who was Andy Warhol's lover
*[[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.

== Description==
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.

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.

Wallach, along with Hartley, is no longer especially popular among seniors due to all these complications.

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.

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).

Like Hartley, Wallach has an underwhelming "Sky Lounge" on the top floor which is a small room with skylights that is usually used for studying.

Columbia Underground Listing of Professor Ability

2020-09-19T02:02:54Z

Gutenwod:

The '''Columbia Underground Listing of Professor Ability''' (CULPA) is a professor ratings site which allows students to anonymously post their own reviews of their professors. The site is the main source of professor review currently available to the Columbia student body.

CULPA is not officially affiliated with the university.

== Reputation ==
CULPA is regarded as one of the most useful tools for students looking to enroll in a class, boasting over 10,000 reviews.

However, because of the candid nature of the submissions (students tend to use CULPA to praise [[professors]] they like and slag off those they do not), the site has occasionally been accused of harboring biased reviews and misrepresenting professors (both positively and negatively).

== History ==
CULPA was founded in [[1997]] by [[Alex Feerst]], CC '98. After Feerst graduated, the site continued to be operated by Jonathan McCarter, CC '98. However, at some point between 1998 and 2000, CULPA suffered an untimely demise. The site would have disappeared completely, except for the fact that the [[Columbia University Marching Band]] inexplicably decided to keep a copy of CULPA backed up on their servers. In [[2000]], Ashran Jen, CC '00, and Ben Wheeler, SEAS '00, resurrected the site from its (figurative) ashes on the Columbia University Marching Band servers. Morris Doueck (CC '03) and Nat Lin (CC '04), took over from Ashran and Ben. Ben Falik (CC '04) and Pam Terry (BC '06) joined the team in 2002. When Nat and Ben graduated, [[Jonathan Wegener]] (CC '07) and Carly Baratt (CC '06) filled their shoes. And in Pam and Carly's year of graduation, Michael Decker (CC '09) and Seth Berliner (CC '08) joined. In 2008, Ron Gejman (CC '10), a programmer, joined the staff as well. Since August 2008, there are indications of that an overhaul to the website is underway. This overhaul has yet to occur.

From time to time the CULPA website stops working, but so far it has always resurfaced. In recent years the site has fallen into neglect, with reviews very infrequently being posted.

== "Rivals" ==
Some students have been trying to get the administration to set up an official professor review site using the results of the official [[course evaluations]].

There also exists a largely useless website called [[The SEAS Oracle]].

Mathematics Library

[[Image:Math_Library.jpg|thumb|300px|The Mathematics library, from the study area toward the front section]]
The mathematics library is located in the Mathematics building, immediately up the steps to the left. It's small and doesn't see a lot of use. However some may consider it ideal for that very reason. It also boasts surprisingly nice views of Broadway and the Barnard Campus. One nice feature is that many copies of math textbooks, including Stewart's Calculus, are available on reserve to save you from having to lug it around all the time.

As of Spring 2020, it is also the only remaining library on campus that can be entered without any ID.

Ref Spotting @ Columbia

2020-09-19T01:57:41Z

Gutenwod:

'''Ref Spotting @ Columbia''' is a Facebook group and unofficial club on campus. It functions exactly like the Dog Spotting at Columbia Group, but its members just post pictures of their friends that they see in [[Butler 301 | Ref]] instead of dogs. Members can also post overheard at Ref, Ref memes, or even [[Butler Library | Butler]] spotting in general. It can be a tool to shame people for spending too much time in Ref or to give them positive reinforcement for working hard.

Ref Spotting was founded in March 2019 by Julia Schreder (CC ‘21), who served as the first Tyrant of Ref Spotting. She studied abroad in Fall 2019, making [[Stan Liao]] (SEAS ‘21) the interim Tyrant in her absence. As of September 2020, the group has over 1900 members.

Bacchanal

2020-09-19T00:51:24Z

Gutenwod:

'''Bacchanal''' is a student-run organization that plans a variety of events, including Columbia's premiere annual spring festival, [[Concert on the Steps]], among other projects like carnivals, parties and more. It is organized by [[Bacchanal Events]]. While historically receiving funding a manner similar to other groups under the [[ABC]] mantle, Bacchanal now receives a separate allocation from governing boards during [[F@CU]].

The spring concert is a free concert on the steps of Low open to undergraduate Columbia ticket-holders. Its aim is to increase school spirit and release some of the students' stress before the end of the year exams. Past performers include: Macklemore, Big Sean, Snoop Dogg, Vampire Weekend, Kanye West, and Bob Saget. Before new restrictions placed in 2015, the spring concert was preceded by a week-long series of fun activities, such as a spring bbq, inviting food trucks onto college walk, and a public movie screenings on 4/20. The food trucks still make an appearance. Past themes have included 'Baccha90s', 'Abacchalypse', and 'Chewbacchanal'.

Past events Bacchanal has organized include the Fall Concert, a more intimate and smaller dance party hosted in Lerner Party Space, and Lowlapalooza, a day long music festival showcasing Columbia musicians in association with CU Records. Previous artists for the fall concert include Micky Avalon.

To raise revenue, Bacchanal sells an assortment of merchandise in weeks leading up to the spring concert.

Faculty House

Gutenwod:

[[Image:FacultyHouse.jpg|thumb|240px|Faculty House]]
'''Faculty House''' was built in [[1923]] and designed by Columbia campus architects [[McKim, Mead, and White]]. Professor [[Andrew Dolkart]] considers this to be their most banal, uninspired building on campus.

It is located at 64 [[Morningside Drive]], (prior to the renovation, its official mailing address was 400 W. 117th Street, owing to the fact that its front door opened onto the once-extant [[117th Street]]) between the [[President's House]] and [[East Campus]]. It replaced the [[Faculty Club]]. It closed for 16 months in Spring 2008 for a full restoration and reopened on [[September 8]], [[2009]]. Faculty House was renovated to the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification standards.

On more than one occasion, items have been robbed from Faculty House by people simply walking in wearing business casual attire.

==Services and Events==

Faculty House is a 38,000-square-foot facility that hosts a wide variety of functions, including receptions, social events, meetings, conferences, and seminars. It's also the frequent scene of fancy dinners thrown by professors for their classes and career recruitment presentations by the likes of [[investment banking|investment banks]].

Several campus establishments are located in Faculty House. The Ivy Lounge and Coffee bar, located on the 1st floor, is a full-service bar. The Market Cafe, located on the 2nd floor, is a casual campus lunch spot. The Dining Room, located on the 4th floor, offers a more formal lunch buffet.

Graduate students can get a 10% off discount card for $10.

The [[Rabi-Warner Concert Series]] is hosted at Faculty House, and the [[University Seminars]] office is located in the building as well.

Michael Thaddeus is a tenured professor in the Mathematics department. He has taught Modern Algebra II, Linear Algebra, Topology, and Honors Math. He may have taught Music Hum at some point too.

He is known for having a graph taped to his office door showing the growing administrative bloat of Columbia over the years, for wearing salmon colored pants, and refreshing himself during lecture from an Absolut Vodka bottle that is presumably filled with water.

International Affairs Building

[[Image:IAB.jpg|thumb|240px|International Affairs Building]]
[[Image:IABSketch.jpg|thumb|240px|An artist's sketch of IAB]]

The '''International Affairs Building''' or '''IAB''' is known as the home of the [[School of International and Public Affairs]] (SIPA) but also used by the [[Political Science Department]] and the [[Economics Department]], along with several faculty research institutes (such as [[ISERP]]), primarily associated with [[regional studies]]. [[Lehman Library]], one of the two [[Language Resource Center | Language Resource Centers]], and [[Alice's International Cafe]] are located here, along with a 24-hour lounge on the sixth floor.

All of this makes IAB a very crowded building. One SIPA student has observed that being in IAB across the plaza from the [[law school]] was like "living in Mexico on the border of the U.S."<ref>[http://columbiaspectator.com/?q=node/24495 SIPA Dean Holds Final Town Hall - The Spectator March 27, 2007]</ref> Like the Mexican border, there are also subterranean passageways linking the two.

==Layout and features==

IAB was designed by Harrison & Abramovitz, the firm of [[Max Abramovitz]], who also designed the law school and [[Lincoln Center]]. It was completed in [[1970]]. The building has two main entrances: one on the fourth floor (confusingly, street level), and one on the sixth floor (confusingly, campus level). One can only move between its two main lobbies via the annoying elevators (see below) or ugly emergency stairs.

The fourth floor features most of the building's services, including a copy shop, the SIPA careers office, and a grand lobby space bedecked in international flags. An outdoor courtyard formed from a sunken hole in the plaza two stories above is a popular gathering place for smokers, and features a bizarre glass bubble centerpiece, which allows light into Lehman Library below.

[[417 IAB]], also known as the Altschul Auditorium, is one of the largest lecture halls on campus and is the location for a number of the most popular undergraduate courses.

Lehman Library is located in the building's basement and is reachable via a grand staircase extending from the fourth floor lobby.

The sixth floor features Alice's International Cafe and a room which became SIPA's administrative offices, but which was formerly named the Dag Hammarskjold Lounge, after the former UN Secretary General.

The top floor of IAB is undoubtedly its grandest, featuring the [[Kellogg Conference Center]], an events room with a sweeping view over [[Central Park]] and the [[New York City]] skyline. Students will often run into other students who have snuck up there at night for the romantic view.

===Those goddamn elevators===

Many people know and loathe the IAB elevators, a bank of four cramped, outrageously slow machines that are often covered over in cardboard to make them run properly. According to Political Science professor [[Robert Amdur]], [[Grayson Kirk]], president of the university during the IAB's construction, would brag to his friends about how he'd saved a fortune in the building's quick construction by buying elevators from a dirt-cheap supplier rather than an industrial leader like Otis. Amongst [[President Kirk]]'s ideas (like propose that [[1968 protests|gym in Morningside Park]]), this one makes him one of Columbia's least-favorite presidents, especially amongst the economics and political science majors who often simply walk the thirteen flights of stairs needed to get to their departments rather than rely on "Grayson's Folly."

==Trivia==

At one point, was purportedly slated to be named "Noble Hall".

Halal carts are a popular genre of NYC food cart that serve dishes such as Chicken Over Rice, Lamb Over Rice, Falafel Over Rice, and Combo. These are topped with Red Sauce (spicy) and White Sauce (not). Other popular items include fries, coffee and a small selection of pastries that are different yet identical at every cart. As with most food carts, halal carts advertise at least 10 other items that nobody has ever seen anyone order, such as the philly cheesesteak.

Several halal carts have made their home around the Morningside Campus, including carts on 116th and 114th on Broadway, 116th and Amsterdam, and 120th. They typically are open from about 6am to 4am, making an ideal option for cheap late-night food for a fraction the cost of a dining hall swipe. Building a faithful relationship with your preferred halal cart man is a prized sacrament at Columbia. These customers may earn rare privileges just as never having their money counted, an occasional free drink, and a boiled egg you didn't ask for. Risks include intestinal distress and constipation from a long term diet that consist only of halal cart food.

Sherman Fairchild Center

[[Image:Fairchild.jpg|thumb|240px|The Fairchild Center viewed from the south.]]
The '''Sherman Fairchild Center''', also known simply as '''Fairchild''', houses many of Columbia's [[biology|biological sciences]] laboratories and offices.

It was built in [[1978]], somewhat deliberately in front of the hideous [[Mudd Hall]], largely masking the latter from view. The facade, by Mitchell/Giurgola, somewhat vaguely references the campus' historic brick [[McKim, Mead, and White]] architecture, or mocks it, depending on your perspective. It is a lesser known building, generally understood as "the brick thing in front of Mudd". On account of the large number of biological laboratories, the soupy smell of growth media wafts through many locations inside Fairchild.

Columbia University Marching Band

Gutenwod: Update to include band dissolution

{{wp-also}}
[[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]]. During games, they tend to please the crowd by playing songs and [[Marching Band Chants|cheers]]. During halftime, when everyone is attentively engaged, they perform the [http://cumb.tumblr.com/archive witty scripts] that they write. They also like to make [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL18ADAA834D9EBD29 ridiculous Youtube videos] and [[#Controversies|get into trouble]].

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

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 upon its witty scripts, edgy humor, and a definite lack of marching. As [[War on Fun|fascism grows more popular]], some fear that we'll develop a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Marching_Band lamer, more traditional marching band]. This new band will destroy the environment and offer no-bid contracts to multinational corporations.

In [[2011]], the Band was performed during a marriage proposal on College Walk. It was as adorable as you'd expect.<ref>[http://bwog.com/2011/04/29/storybook-romances-in-london-and-morningside-heights/ "Storybook Romance in London—and Morningside Heights], Bwog 4/29/11</ref> Later that year, they played at an exclusive party for LeBron James. But they also brought their unique brand of humor to the masses, performing for [[Occupy Wall Street]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC84FCECD36EBBEDF Occupy Wall Street performance]</ref>

In September [[2020]], over a few short weeks, the CUMB suffered what appeared to be a fatal publicity blow. After the first anonymous confession, a slew of submissions on the Facebook page Columbia Confessions accused the band of promoting stealing, sexual misconduct, binge drinking, and other storied sins. This resulted in the band ultimately announcing its dissolution.

== Slogans ==
* G(tb)²
* The Cleverest Band in the World™
* If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the band.

==Traditions==

=== Orgo Night ===

''Lisa Birnbach's College Book'' named the CUMB's [[Orgo Night]] performances as the University's most popular campus tradition. Since at least the mid-1970s, the Band has performed at 11:59 p.m. on the night before each Organic Chemistry final exam. The course is notorious as one of the most challenging undergraduate subjects. In an effort to relieve pre-exam jitters and lower the exam's curve in general, the CUMB interrupts studies at the main reading room of [[Butler Library]]. Several hundred students gather for the show, often standing on desks and bookshelves. Orgo Night performances are presented in a style similar to their halftime shows, and have sometimes included comedy banned from those shows by the university's censors.

===Tax Night===

Every year (since the mid 1980s on the final due date for filing income tax returns with the [[w:IRS|IRS]] (usually April 15th unless it falls on a weekend), the Band [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL93952776DACC6D66 plays on the steps] of the [[w:James Farley Post Office|James Farley Post Office]], which stays open until midnight on Tax Day, until closing time to entertain last-minute tax filers.

Fittingly, the Farley building was designed by [[McKim, Mead, and White]], the same firm that designed the original plan for Columbia's [[Morningside Heights campus]]. Its architects adorned the building with the now-famous inscription "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds", which is often mistakenly assumed to be the USPS motto (it has none.) Good Columbia students know it's actually an adaptation from Herodotus' "Histories" because they read it in [[Lit Hum]].

===Underground Tour===

During Orientation Week the Band takes recently-arrived freshmen on a tour of what it calls "the side of Columbia that the admissions office never dared nor cared to tell you about." The tour also may or may not involve actually taking tour groups underground.

===Days on Campus===

During [[Days on Campus]], the Band plays "Roar Lion Roar" for prospies as they return to campus from their nighttime bus tour of the city.

== Controversies ==

Due to its irreverent humor, some of the band's halftime shows have caused controversy. The CUMB prides itself on evading university censorship:

*In [[1964]], the band performed a "Salute to Moral Decay," featuring a formation of "the upper part of a topless bathing suit" (all marchers left the field except for two sousaphones, while the band played "My Favorite Things") and a typically heavy-handed reference to Walter Jenkins, an aide to President Lyndon Johnson, who had been caught ''in flagrante delicto'' in a men's room. Columbia's president had to fend off angry letters from several notables, including conductor Leonard Bernstein.
*In [[1966]], the band was suspended for several games for the infamous "birth control" show where they formed a Combined oral contraceptive pill, a calendar (for the Rhythm Method), and a chastity belt.
*In [[1968]], at West Point, the band formed what it called a "burning Cambodian village" on the field. CUMB has yet to be invited back to West Point. The football team hasn't actually played any games at West Point in recent years, but the band feels it should be invited to perform at the occasional halftime show anyway.
*In [[1973]], a brawl broke out between the CUMB and the [[Harvard]] University Band over the alleged attempted theft of the giant Harvard Bass Drum.
*The band's theme for a [[1981]] halftime show at Holy Cross was "The Lions vs. The Christians". Holy Cross administrators subsequently dis-invited the band from any future games played in Worcester, much to the band's relief. Columbia's next road game against Holy Cross, in [[1983]], marked the beginning of what became an NCAA-record winless streak.
*The band's script for the [[1982]] season-opening road game against Harvard mysteriously turned out to be identical to the script the Harvard band was set to use moments later. The Columbia band subsequently denied that this astonishing and inexplicable coincidence had anything to do with the fact that two of its members had spent the previous week posing as new freshmen at Harvard's undergraduate orientation. Faculty of Columbia's statistics department refused to support the band's claim.
*In [[1990]], the band received a bomb threat over its symbolic formation of a burning American Flag accompanied by The Doors' "Light My Fire". This performance happened shortly after a controversial United States Supreme Court ruling that actual flag burnings are legal.
*In [[1992]], at the Halloween show, the band performed in costume or drag, including one member dressed as Jesus, with cross. This was also the homecoming game. Two alumni took the field and attempted to charge Jesus, but were thwarted by drummers clad in snare drums. Quoth the alumni: "Don't you know that's fucking sacrilegious?!?"
*In 1992, at the [[Yale]] Bowl the band pantomimed the consummation of a same-sex marriage on the field, while the couple was held aloft on a CAVA stretcher while the band did the hora and played Hava Nagila. The occasion was Youth Day and hundreds of local children from community groups were in attendance. The first words of the halftime show: "We swear, we didn't know it was youth day."
*In [[1993]], the band drew parallels between the Holocaust and policies for management of [[New York City]]'s homeless population proposed by newly-elected mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The Anti-Defamation League demanded an apology.
*In 1993, at [[Princeton]], the band recreated the Magic Bullet Theory as put forth by the Warren Commission on the John F. Kennedy assassination, complete with band members as scattering skull fragments.
*Not really a controversy, but on October 7, [[1994]] the Marching Band [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_s-N4ikDds showed up] outside of David Letterman's ''Late Show with David Letterman''. They were soon invited for an impromptu performance.
*In [[1998]], at the Yale Bowl, the band performed a show featuring a homosexual, pot-smoking Jesus Christ in a homage to the Terrence McNally play ''Corpus Christi''. Angry Yale fans demanded their money back.
*During a game against [[Fordham University]] in 2002, soon after the Catholic church was rocked by disclosures about pedophile priests, the band claimed that Fordham tuition was "going down like an altar boy" in a joke improvised minutes before the start of the pre-game show. In the ensuing media frenzy, band Poet Laureate Andy Hao was featured on MSNBC's Phil Donahue Show in a debate with Catholic League President William Donohue. The ''[[New York Times]]'' profiled the CUMB. Columbia University President [[Lee Bollinger]] ended the controversy in one of his first official acts as University President when he apologized to Fordham president, the Reverend Joseph O'Hare. They were banned from playing at Fordham for ten years.
*In [[2011]], [[Athletics]] administrators banned the band from performing at the final football game of the season, following an incident in which the "banned" sang a modified rendition of [[School songs#Roar, Lion, Roar|Roar, Lion, Roar]] with the lyrics "We always lose" during the football team's ninth straight defeat of the season. Two days later, the ban was reversed.<ref>Amusingly, this led to an absolute torrent of news coverage: [http://espn.go.com/new-york/ncf/story/_/id/7246291/columbia-lions-band-banned-home-football-finale ESPN]; [http://deadspin.com/5860382/columbia-bans-marching-band-from-0+9-football-teams-finale-because-the-band-made-fun-of-the-team DeadSpin]; [http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2011/11/16/athletics-bans-marching-band-football-finale Spec]; [http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/18/sports/ncaafootball/columbia-band-banned-after-changing-lyrics-of-fight-song.html New York Times]; [http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/columbia-band-taunts-its-own-team-and-gets-banned-from-the-home-finale?urn=ncaaf,wp10060 Rivals.com (Yahoo!)]; [http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-17/columbia-band-banned-from-football-finale-after-mocking-its-own-0-9-team.html Bloomberg]; [http://boston.barstoolsports.com/m/sports-page/columbia-band-banned-from-last-game-of-the-season-for-hurting-the-winless-football-teams-feelings/ Boston Barstool Sports]; [http://ftrsports.com/columbia-band-banned-for-making-fun-of-football-team/ FTR Sports]; [http://larrybrownsports.com/college-football/columbia-band-banned-mocking-team/99471 Larry Brown Sports]; [http://www.safetysign.com/blog/?p=1132 SafetySign.com]; [http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/11/columbia_marchi.php Village Voice]; [http://www.newsday.com/sports/college/college-football/columbia-s-irreverent-band-banned-1.3330022 Newsday]; [http://www.hawkeyenation.com/forum/general-college-football/37610-columbia-band-banned-final-home-game.html Hawkeye Nation]; [http://espn.go.com/new-york/ncf/story/_/id/7250019/columbia-university-lions-reverses-one-game-ban-band ESPN]; [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2062933/Marching-band-0-9-Columbia-University-football-team-banned-final-game-changed-fight-song-lyrics.html Daily Mail (UK)]; [http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2011-11-17/columbia-bans-its-own-band-from-playing-in-season-finale SportingNews (AOL)]; [http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2011/11/columbias-band-was-mean-to-the-football-team.html New York Magazine]; [http://www.npr.org/2011/11/18/142497422/marching-band-banned-from-final-football-game NPR]; [http://observer.com/2011/11/columbia-marching-band-unbanned-after-prank/ New York Observer]; [http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/columbia_bans_band_from_final_home_hIaVkDsEOjtn5TnRmccrYO New York Post]; [http://deadspin.com/5860887/that-mean-columbia-marching-band-has-been-un+banned-from-performing-at-the-0+9-football-teams-last-game DeadSpin]; [http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/columbia-marching-band-sidelined-mocking-struggling-team-article-1.979615 New York Daily News]; [http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/11/18/columbia_fight_song_parody_gets_marching_band_a_brief_ban_.html Slate]</ref>
*After being allowed to play at Fordham in [[2012]] following their ten-year ban, the band made posters referencing the death of Christians at the hands of lions in the Bible. For this they were banned again for an unspecified period of time.
*In December [[2012]], one of CUMB's Orgo Night posters featured a pun on "Gaza Strip", i.e. "Everyone Wants a Piece"<ref>http://www.wikicu.com/File:Gaza_strip.jpg</ref>. This provoked a scolding from Kevin Shollenberger via a student-wide email. There were lots of Bwog comments about it, some against the band, most in favor of the band<ref>http://bwog.com/2012/12/13/administrators-scold-the-band/</ref>. Some students protested Orgo Night, where the band made fun of the protesters and Shollenberger.
*After Butler Library Administrator Ann Thornton banned CUMB from performing in 209 in 2016, using extremely facile arguments such as "it bothers the students who work in that room" and "safety issues," (despite no student in 50 years being in Butler 209 for anything except Orgo Night during a single hour period on one night in the entire semester) CUMB acquiesced and performed directly outside the front doors of Butler. They hoped internal alumni pressure and their own forms of protest would eventually come to bear on Thornton and convince her that her machinations were wrong. Of course, no administrator thought about having 100s of students outside in the extreme cold (during Fall) instead of inside. And shockingly, the noise outside the front of the library actually traveled to more rooms within Butler than it would have if CUMB performed inside 209. Big. Surprise. In Fall of 2017, fed up with the intractability of the university, CUMB organized a covert operation to hide instruments throughout 209 and lead an impromptu and against-the-rules performance back in their ancestral homeland. The response of the university is still yet to have come down, although rumors of suppressed involvement of CUMB with activities such as Days on Campus have filtered down.

== 1974 ==
* The Columbia University Ultimate Frisbee Team was founded by [[David "Buddha" Meyer]] in the fall of [[1973]]. Buddha was a graduate of Columbia High School in Orange, [[New Jersey]], where the game of Ultimate originated in [[1968]]. Many of Buddha's high school classmates had founded or were running other college teams on the East Coast, including Bob Evans at [[Princeton]], Dave Leiwant at [[Yale]] and Jon (JC) Cohn at [[Cornell]]. See the book "Ultimate: The First Four Decades" for evidence of Columbia, Yale and Cornell Ultimate teams all being founded in 1973. The team's first shirt was a copy of the Columbia High School shirt stating Columbia Ultimate Frisbee in Columbia blue above concentric circles (supposed to be a Frisbee) on a white shirt. In contrast, the Columbia High School shirt had black lettering and said C.H.S. Varsity Frisbee. The sport at this time used a Master Frisbee (165Gs had not yet been invented), and the field was 60 yards long with 30 yard end zones. Games were usually two 24 minute halves, with time stopped after goals and for out-of bounds. The stalling count was 15 seconds.

== 1975 ==
* [[David "Buddha" Meyer]], takes junior year abroad and Larry Horlick and Jeff Birnbaum captain the team for the 1975-1976 academic year. Raymond Tang was one of the steady players. The lefty freshman from Huntington, Ken Gary joined the team in the fall and recruited sophomores Jerry "Young" McManus, Mike Forlenza and Bob Jarrett for the spring season (and many to come). Despite the infusion of new blood, the team's record remains untarnished by victory.

The Cornell team had [http://www.upa.org/hof/inductees#cohn Jon "JC" Cohn] and [http://www.upa.org/hof/inductees#herrick Jim Herrick], Dan Weiss and Paul Brenner all of whom are in the Ultimate Hall of Fame.
** That season's Columbia team consisted of several "athletes" (certainly athletes by Ultimate's then standard of "athletic"), including refugees from Columbia's other sports programs, including Jerry McManus (baseball) and Bob Jarrett and Michael Forlenza (lightweight football), Steve Kane, a self-acknowledged, but nonetheless excellent, goal hanger, running around to get open for Buddha, Bloeme, John Anthony & Ken Gary to throw to. Buddha had the world's finest wrist-flip airbounce (not a typo) and Bloeme, as reigning Frisbee World Champion, had pinpoint accuracy & amazing distance. It wasn't until several years later that [http://www.amazon.com/Frisbee-Dogs-Throwing-Peter-Bloeme/dp/0962934631 Peter Bloeme] realized that others could run around and catch discs better than Kane, Jarrett and McManus; so Bloeme switched sports from Ultimate to become a trainer and showman for frisbee-catching dogs.
** A typical play would have a Bloeme throw-off that pinned the other team in the corner by their goal line (this was before the "brick" rule); Columbia would then apply its zone (often a "force side") and upon a turnover Columbia would score, often with Buddha throwing an air-bounce wrist flip (that is not a typo) to someone in the end zone.
** The team qualified for the 1977 East Coast Championship in April 1977. In its first single elimination game, Columbia lost to Penn State, the eventual East Coast champion. Some Penn State views of the game and Buddha is [http://www.ultimatehistory.com/founders/Pg/buddha.html here, about 1/3 down]

=== Fall 1977 ===
** In the fall of 1977, Steve Kane & Jerry McManus were the co-captains.
** Despite the loss of Buddha & Bloeme, the team continues to play well, but loses its 2 games to programs with "established" players with long Ultimate bloodlines (Princeton with Bob Evans from Columbia High School, and UConn with Dan Buckley & others from Staples High School). In contrast, Columbia has a bunch of unknown players, including new teammates Maurice Matiz (track refugee) and freshmen Ernie Cicconi, the pride of Hasbrouck Heights, and Paul Tvetenstrand. and others Frank Busanic (Astoria ringer).
** The team shirt changes to a blue shirt with white lettering "Columbia Ultimate" above an actual replica of a 165G disc on it (which disc is signed by former Columbia player & then World Frisbee Champion, Peter Bloeme). It was also one of the few Ultimate team shirts to have numbers on the back. This shirt remains the team uniform through at least 1984.
** Practices for 1977 and for several years thereafter are Tuesday & Thursday nights on South Field (which is in a dust-bowl like state). On Thursday nights, practices are watched by the "pre-Pub" crowd. The drinking age was 18 and there was a Pub in the basement of John Jay Hall that served beer and Thursday night was the most popular Pub night at John Jay).

==1978 ==
* Florida Trip 1978 --- was there one? ___
=== Spring 1978 ===
* An undefeated regular season was followed by a three-way tie for the final two spots in the Regionals with only the top four teams qualifying for the Eastern Nationals.
* Despite beating Princeton twice, the highlight of the season was the crushing defeat of then top nationally-ranked Rutgers at Rutgers (1974, 1975 & 1976 national champions). In contrast to the spring of 1977 when Columbia had the well-known Buddha and Bloeme, Columbia's humiliating defeat of Rutgers, by a bunch of non-New Jersey, "no-name" players was an announcement that Columbia was a team to be reckoned with (even though one should never end a sentence with preposition). However, Princeton & the other "established" teams got revenge in the Regionals.
* Photos of the Columbia Ultimate team at practice are on the first page of New York Times Sports section (p. 49) on Wednesday April 26, 1978. Photos include Steve Kane handling, while Victor Garcia defends, and Jerry McManus skying over an unidentifed player.
* Due to the primitiveness of the sport, tie-breakers for tournaments had not been fully developed yet. So at the Regionals after a 3 way tie occurred for the final 2 spots for the Easterns, the NJ teams banded together and vote to have goal differential among the top 5 team determine the winner. This was the only way Columbia would have been eliminated and Knights of Nee (a New Jersy Club team with alumni from NJ schools & many "old time/established" players) & Princeton would have qualified. Columbia would have won goal differential among the 3 tied teams and goal differential for the tournament. But Columbia (without "Buddha" or any other established NJ connection) got outvoted for the only formula that let the 4 NJ teams advance. This tournament cemented the hatred for all things about [[New Jersey]].
* The Glassboro game included one of the first brawls in Ultimate. During a tense, very low scoring game, it got ugly when a member of the Glassboro team ran onto the field from the sideline to throw a punch at Maurice. Lots of pushing and shoving ensued. Later that evening, Maurice had to visit the medical facility at Rutgers to get treatment for a small hematoma behind his ear. Needless to say, he did not sleep well given that was his second trip to the clinic that day. The first trip, early in the first game of the tournament, due to an errant Lou Pacheco (see Columbia Soccer) knee to the groin as they both went up to defend a long pass.

=== Fall 1978 ===
* This was a great season. The "upset" of Boston Frisbee Club (BFC)/Boston Aerodisc(BAD), in Boston, (their only loss of the season) was cool. BFC/BAD was probably the first non-NJ club of "all-stars", who were formed for the sole purpose of becoming national champions. Prior to the game with Columbia they were crushing all their opponents.
* Also, this season, Columbia is teaching a very raw Pat King (who later becomes the founder and star of NEW YORK/NEW YORK, the Ultimate World Champions for 1987 and 1989 - 1993) the intracacies of the game.
* On October 28, 1978 while the ultimate team was beating Vassar & Uconn at Vassar, Columbia football was losing 69-0 to Rutgers.
* The season finale is the "hearse game" when the team travels by hearse to Princeton, arrives late (perhaps because the hearse didn't leave 114th St. until the scheduled game time), pulls up onto the field (with Princeton security follwing), and then goes on to beat hated rival Princeton who took part in the screwing of Columbia at the Spring 1978 Regionals, despite Princeton's captain Bob "God" Evans' protests of Ernie Cicconni's over-aggresive point play. The hearse was bought for less than $1000 and partially owned by team-member [http://about.reuters.com/csr/corporategovernance/board/tomglocer.asp Tom Glocer], who couldn't keep a job in the US and was forced to move to England to get hired by some newspaper company.

Not only is Columbia freed from the NJ dominated Mid-Atlantic Region, but a likely showdown between BFC/BAD & Columbia for the Northeast Regional Championship in the spring (and entry to the Nationals) appears likely.

=== Spring [[1979]] ===
* In Northeast Regional semi-final at Amherst, the team loses to Cornell on a tipped disc goal with time running out and the season ends. Columbia had previously beaten Cornell in this double elimination tourney. Two unnamed players (Mike Strage & Alex Bagley) oversleep - [sure Strage I could see doing that, but Alex?] Cornell goes on to upset BFC/BAD; thus BFC/BAD's only losses in the 1978-1979 were their final games of the fall & the spring.
* In sum, despite a great deal of talent (& probably the "deepest bench" ever), including in no particular order, Steve Kane, Ken Gary, Maurice Matiz, Chris Schmidt, Ernie Cicconi, Bob Kennelly, Mike Strage, John "GG" Getsos, Grog, Bob Jarrett, Dave Dewitt (who becomes a long-time key Ultimate player in Florida after only one year at Columbia), Alex Bagley, Tom Glocer, Mike Forlenza & others, the team just never really gelled.

=== Fall 1979 ===

* With Maurice Matiz & Ken Gary graduating in May 1979, the Heifers, a NYC Club team is formed. Although in its beginning stages Columbia is assisting the Heifers, a rivalry quickly develops. The Heifers did have a cool shirt though, in both black & yellow versions, of a large uddered cow jumping over the NYC skyline. Conceived by Ken Gary & drawn by Alex Toran.
* The 10/6/79 Cornell victory at Vassar is an upset. A unique defense is devised. Bob Kennelly and Bob Jarret shadow Paul Brenner, while the rest of the team plays a zone. Separate from this zone, Ken Gary makes the most uncharacteristic play of his career, but it is effective, as Cornell stops doing short passes up the middle of the field.

** Schmidt Rule. Some Timing is uncertain. In the midst of a fierce and acrimonious mutli-month (multi-year?) debate <ref> See, for example, UPA Newsletter, June 1980, Vol. I, No. 2 entilted "Time for a Change? Time versus Points" which addresses the issue. </ref> concerning whether games should be by points (i.e first to 21) or by the 'traditional" time (which was leading to stall tactics and a lot of end of game disputes as to whether time had run out on last second goals (the sport has no referees, let alone time-keepers), Columbia's captain, Chris Schmidt, proposes the most elegant solution, the "Schmidt Rule", that states the game must end on a score (thus eliminating stalling as the clock runs out & disputes whether time ran out before a last second goal is scored. I can't find Chris Schmidt's letter to the UPA newsletter, but, the Schmidt Rule is adopted at the Northeast Region Captains meeting in September 1981 and is adopted nation-wide. <ref> Northeast Region Captians Meeting, UPA Newsletter, October - November 1981, p. 10; see also "Condors top Circus with Schmidt Rule" re: the Santa Cruz Tournament, in the same issue, p. 13 </ref>

The Spring of 1981 is also the year of the cagey Captain Ernie Cicconi's end run around a Connecticut nemesis using the famed loser's bracket and the pretty co-smart Princeton captain to pick the perfect score for both Columbia and Princeton to advance one fine day in Purchase New York. Our hats off to our fearless leader in one of his great acts (and surely not the last).

=== Fall 1981 ===
** Someone has to get the record
** Northeast Regionals Nov 7-8, 1981, Amherst MA
*** "The first game in Pool D was Columbia v. Hostages (a Boston all-star team). Columbia, the third-place team in 1979, was playing with an even smaller squad than the Hostages. Columbia can give anyone a tough game, and they jumped out to a 4-2 lead. Twice Columbia dropped scoring passes in the endzone. Both times the Hostages took the disc the lenghth of the field for a score. So, if Columbia catches those two scores, the Hostages are looking at a 6-0 deficit! The Hostages were able to come back from a 4-2 score however and win the game. The most imporant plays of the first day (for the entire 16 team tourney) were those two dropped passes." <ref> "Hostages take a gutsy victory", Ultimate Players Assocaition UPA Newsletter Vol II, No. 5 January-February 1982. </ref> The Hostages go to the Nationals and come in 4th.
