'''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.

List of tunnels

2021-08-03T04:13:16Z

Karlymarx: 2021 updates

This page is a '''list of tunnels'''.

== Old Mudd/Uris/Havemeyer tunnel system(since replaced) ==

One steam tunnel system connected [[Mudd Hall]], [[Uris Hall]], [[Dodge Fitness Center]], and [[Havemeyer Hall]], and was generally considered the easiest to access. These tunnels contained an old rail track that was used to transport coal for heating. They also contained the "Signature Room," where one can find many quotes and names left by previous tunnelers. This tunnel system also used to connect to the first floor of [[Pupin Hall]], but that way was blocked in the 1990s.

Until the Summer of 2003, the first floor of Pupin was virtually untouched from the last days of the [[Manhattan Project]]. Notes and daily logs scattered dusty tables. Half-completed experiments sat in stasis, only visible to the few explorers who got in. Since 2003, the first floor has been cleaned out, and is now mostly empty. However, one of the first cyclotrons remains, though it is difficult to access.

This tunnel system was made obsolete by the chiller plant expansion.

== Mudd/Uris/Schermerhorn System ==

The grand majority of this tunnel system is public access and consists of the area in and around the Mudd parking garage. The easiest way to get in is to simply take the Mudd elevator to the basement level and follow the hallway out through the swinging doors into a parking garage.

To the right of this big room should be a door leading into an open-air breezeway with stairs up to the plaza in front of Mudd. This door is locked from the outside, so bring multiple people or prop it. Once you get into the breezeway, there should be locked doors on the left and right that enter the power plant system.

To the left of this big room past the exit driveway, there should be a set of automatic doors which lead to a set of maintenance and storage rooms. One should be aware that there are many more cameras through this doorway, because as soon as you enter it, there is yet another card-access entrance to the chiller and power plant on the right. The ramp up to the right leads to Schermerhorn extension if you follow the corridor all the way through. The corridor to the left has some cool remnants of CU history for avid readers of the wiki or likewise.

== New Mudd/Uris/Havemeyer system ==

There are a few known ways to get into the new chiller system. From the Havemeyer side, simply enter the Math/Kent/Havemeyer system and there should be a door hiding in the corner as you approach Havemeyer from Math.

== Other tunnel systems ==

Another tunnel system connects [[Havemeyer Hall]], [[Math Hall]], [[Lewisohn Hall]], and the [[Miller Theater]].

A tunnel between [[Butler Library]] and [[Low Library]] is rumored to exist, but no evidence of such a tunnel has ever been found. Any entrance to this tunnel from [[Butler Library]] is well hidden or heavily locked, and the [[Low Library]] entrance would be next-to-impossible to find given that Campus Security is based on the first floor.

There is no tunnel to the [[Barnard campus]] (except that you can just walk through the subway station), and almost definitely none to [[East Campus]].

==Inaccessible tunnels==

===[[Buell Hall|Buell]] to [[Low Library|Low]]===
This passageway does exist, but it's a tiny crawlspace filled with steam pipes that are hot to the touch. It probably also contains asbestos. You can see it from the [[Kent Hall|Kent]]-[[Buell Hall|Buell]] passage, but the way to it is blocked. Don't even think about climbing over the pipes, because if you try, you'll burn yourself badly. These pipes, like all the pipes in the Buell crawlspace, don't have any sort of insulation on them - which is why it's always hot as Hades in there.

You can climb over the pipes, but the passage ends with a cinder-block wall after you crawl about 100 feet. Be wary that the way back out will require crawling in reverse until it opens up enough to turn around.

==Unconfirmed/speculated tunnels==

*Mental Institution Foundation tunnel. Apparently, these tunnels can be found beneath the lower level of the Old Powerhouse.
*[[Butler to Low tunnel]]

{{wp-also}}
The '''Varsity Show''', founded in [[1894]] as a fundraiser for the university's fledgling athletic teams, is one of the university's oldest traditions, and certainly its oldest performing arts tradition. Every year, the Varsity Show produces a unique full-length show that skews and satirizes many aspects of life at Columbia. And every year, students, administrators, and many more members of the Columbia community pack Roone Arledge Auditorium to engage in the century-old tradition of the Varsity Show.

Ironically, many of the administrators being parodied and lambasted are often sitting in the front rows of the audience. No study has been conducted to determine whether these administrators realize there's a reason they're being ridiculed on stage.

Historically, most of the show's revenue came from ticket sales. However, in recent years, ticket prices have been free in order to increase accessibility to the production.

Past directors and writers include such distinguished names as [[Oscar Hammerstein]], [[Lorenz Hart]], [[Richard Rodgers]], [[I. A. L. Diamond]], and [[Herman Wouk]].

== Show Preparations ==

In early October, the previous year's creative team interviews and auditions candidates to succeed them, and chooses a creative team of eight or nine students, filling the following roles: producer, director, writer, composer/lyricist, choreographer, and art director. The newly-minted creative team runs auditions for actors in late November/early December. The Varsity Show is notoriously the most selective casting process in Columbia theatre, and the results are always the result of much gossip and debate. Though the numbers vary from year to year, around 150 people audition for the show, singing a one-minute song selection, performing a scene with a random partner, and sometimes being asked to do improv comedy. From this group, around 25 people are asked to attend cast callbacks. An invitation to callbacks is automatically extended to performers from past Varsity Shows. Callbacks are typically held on a Saturday from 8am until 3pm. Those who have been called back perform a monologue of a "Columbia character," do improv within said character, and learn an original song and dance. From the performers that participate in callbacks, the creative team casts twelve to fifteen. The debates over casting notoriously span hours, and the new cast is welcomed into the Varsity family through a special ritual that's stuff of rumors and legend (although pictorial evidence shows that cream pies are somewhat involved).

== West End Preview ==

Around mid-February, the Varsity Show team presents a cutting of some scenes and songs that have been written so far to the general public at Havana Central. This tradition dates back to before the West End Bar was replaced by Havana Central, as the name suggests. For a nominal fee, the general public is encouraged to come preview the work that the Varsity Show team has produced. As of 2015, the West End Preview is performed on campus. The show is used as a way to try out the material on a real student audience however the true plot of the show is kept concealed by creating a new plot for West End Preview or presenting songs out of context.

== Turkey Day ==

Midway through March, alumni of past Varsity Show creative teams and casts are welcome to watch a full draft of the Varsity Show, and are then welcome to submit critiques for the purpose of creating the best show for the general public. The discussions and original draft of the show previewed at Turkey Day are highly confidential<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/05/04/varsity-show-review-missed-connections/#comment-1090923</ref>.

== Days on Campus ==
During Days on Campus, visiting prospective students get to watch portions of the newest Varsity Show as one of their activities. Notably in 2015, the administration objected to the content in the 2015 show and instead members of previous Varsity Shows were asked to perform older songs <ref>http://columbiaspectator.com/arts-and-entertainment/2015/04/13/varsity-show-performs-old-songs-days-campus-after-office</ref>.

== Through the Gates ==

During NSOP, members of previous Varsity Shows are welcome to come back and perform a "cabaret" of past Varsity Show songs and skits for the incoming first-year class in Roone.

== Trivia ==
* The Varsity Show coined the term "[[PrezBo]]".
* Sometimes called VShow or Veesh.
* [[Songs|"Roar, Lion, Roar"]] is based on a Varsity Show melody.

Carman Hall

2020-11-30T15:16:02Z

Karlymarx: notable residents

{{prefrosh}}

{{Infobox reshall
|Name=Carman
|Image=[[File:Carman.jpg]]
|Built=[[1959]]
|Renovated=[[2017]]-[[2020]]
|Population=587}}

'''Carman''' is a first-year residence hall. Approximately 40% of first years live in Carman.

== History ==

Columbia's priorities in the 50s and 60s did not include residence halls or an undergraduate student center, but the university chanced upon a fortunate (or fortuitous) coincidence. Mr. and Mrs. Willis Booth gave four million dollars in memory of their son Ferris Booth ([[Columbia College|CC]] '24) to construct a student center, theoretically replacing the one on the 2nd floor of [[John Jay Hall|John Jay]]. At the same time, Columbia secured a three million dollar loan from the Federal Housing and Home Agency. Columbia wanted to combine the funds and build a single building. However, the FHHA loan forbade any link between the residence hall and the student center to prevent the emergence of a "country-club atmosphere". (The university continues to adhere to this condition, and did not create any link with the replacement of Ferris Booth Hall by [[Lerner Hall]].)

The residence hall and student center were designed by architect Harvey Clarkson of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon in [[1959]]. Construction was completed in [[1960]]. The residence hall was known as '''New Hall''' until it was named Carman Hall in [[1965]] after [[Harry Carman]]. In the intervening 5 years, Columbia had fruitlessly held out for a one million dollar donation to name the building. The Columbia Spectator held a naming contest, suggesting the building be named Hawkes Hall after former Dean [[Herbert Hawkes]], or named after [[Gouverneur Morris]].<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19591026-01.2.5]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19591026-01.2.11]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19620226-01.2.17]</ref> It was the most recent addition to Columbia's undergraduate residence halls since [[John Jay Hall]] was completed in [[1927]]. There is a rumor that Carman was built as a temporary structure until funds could be allocated to build a "John Jay II", but this rumor is false. A [[New York Times]] architectural review called it a "Victorian reformatory", noting its nondescript rows of doubles. <ref>[http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/sep05/cover.php "Home on the Heights"] from [[Columbia College Today]], 9/05</ref> For many years afterward, Carman was one of the least popular housing choices.

The eventual redistribution of all first-years to South Lawn combined with investment from administration led to things turning around for the better. Starting in 2017, Columbia performed extensive renovations on Carman, completely gutting and replacing its residential floors and basement lounge. Given the limited construction window provided by Summer Break, work was done in phases: Floors 7-13 and the new basement lounge were completed in Summer of 2018, Floors 2-6 were completed in Summer of 2019, and Floor M will be completed sometime in 2020. This led to a bit of division on the part of Carman residents, as some members of the unrenovated lower floors were left to envy their peers in more palatial accommodations upstairs. Others took their assignment to the lower floors in stride, pointing to the cozier, less corporate feeling of the unrenovated Carman's common spaces. Both parties, however, were mutually united by their fortune in not having been assigned to [[Wallach Hall]] or [[Hartley Hall]].

Carman is now a main-stay in the party scene for first-years, attracting some of the more social members of each Columbia class. It is thus no small coincidence that many aspiring student politicians hail from Carman, with Carmanites disproportionately represented in the first-year delegation to [[CCSC]]. Carman is also the dorm of choice for many of Columbia's sports teams, with many members of a team residing on the same floor.

== Notable Events and Controversies ==
=== Gatherings and Gathering Spots ===
Prior to its 2019 Renovation, Floor 6 was traditionally the rowdiest floor because of its abnormally large non-suite room (613). It garnered over 70 noise complaints in 2010 alone.

In the Spring of 2014 the Notorious Carman 8 ("[[The Ocho]]") threw what came to be known as the paint party - a gathering that involved a fully constructed/equipped bar and a lot of paint.

== Facilities ==

=== Living arrangements ===
==== 4-Person Suite ====
Each entryway leads into a mini suite with two doubles (A and B) and a shared bathroom. The size of each double varies between suites but the B double generally feels larger and allows for more furniture arrangements. The A doubles generally feel long and narrow, so the best arrangement is a bed and desk on each long wall. Every room has their own air-conditioning unit. Each bathroom has 2 sinks, a toilet, and a shower.
==== 10-Person Suite ====
Each entryway leads into a hallway with five separate rooms of tremendously varying sizes. Immediately to the left and right are each suites two single-use bathrooms, each containing a shower and a sink.
==== 'Special Rooms' ====
Most of the upper floors have a double room with a private bathroom adjacent to the elevator lobby and floor lounge.

Some of the lower floors have a four room suite with two bathrooms shared by two doubles and two of the elusive Carman singles. Don't bet your first-choice housing slot on these singles, as they are few and far between.

=== Floors ===
Every floor has a common area with bar chairs and tables, a television, and a couch. Floor lounges are nearly identical in their orientation and size, differentiated by Columbia's choice of NYC-Themed wallpaper. Floors M, 2 and 3 are allocated to first year single-sex housing.

Floor M is the floor on which the GHD, the General Hall Director, resides.

=== Elevators ===

Carman's selection of three elevators are among the most reliable on campus, but are frequently closed in order to clean the massive amounts of vomit and food spewed at odd hours of the night.

The two main elevators connect directly to Carman's lobby, as well as the basement and laundry facilities. These elevators are typically used by residents with room numbers less than 10.

The cargo elevator on the West end of the hall connects down to the loading dock for [[Lerner]] and [[Ferris Booth Commons]]. If taking it to the main(lobby floor), one must exit the elevator, exit to the left through a doorway, cross through a hallway containing the first-floor offices, and then go down a few steps to get into the main lobby During NSOP, the loading dock is opened to allow first-years to use the cargo elevator to move their things in, and is afterwards used primarily by residents with room numbers greater than 10. Accessing this elevator is difficult initially, but will come in handy if either of the main elevators is closed down.

=== Basement ===
==== Laundry Room ====
The laundry room has 15 washers and 15 dryers, but can become crowded at peak usage times. You'll want to do your laundry during weekdays(with the exception of Friday), or at odd hours of the night on Weekends(if necessary). Like any other laundry facility, miserable low-lifes will remove your laundry if you are even a minute late to taking it out of the dryer, and the laundry room's many tables are often strewn with removed clothes.
==== Lounge ====
The basement has a lounge with chairs, tables, large circular couches ideal for meetings, and lots of whiteboards. The door at the far end of the lounge leads to [[Lerner]], and is alarmed with a piercingly-loud alarm with a hair-trigger. This lounge also adjoins the building's only kitchen, which has a microwave, a questionable mini-fridge, and two oven ranges/stoves, a small seating area, as well as plentiful cabinet space.

====Gym and Practice Studios====
The basement also has a gym with a paltry selection of treadmills and steppers. The ventilation is horrid and temperatures skyrocket quickly, but it is much less crowded than
[[Dodge Gym]].

The basement also has music practice rooms you can ask for swipe access for.

== Advantages and disadvantages ==

=== Advantages ===
* Carman has a reputation as the "party" or "social" dorm, probably because of its group living quarters and its incredibly spacious corridors which make fantastic unorganized social spaces.
* [[Lerner Hall]] and Ferris Booth dining hall are next door.
* Several deans have offices on the 1st floor. They can help with advising, scheduling, and give counsel/advice.
* One private bathroom for each suite of 4 people.
* Good soundproofing because the walls are made of concrete, not wallboard.
* Since the rooms are doubles, they feel nice and spacious.
* Enormous closets.
* Air conditioning.
* Elevators are faster and break down less often than in [[John Jay Hall]].

=== Disadvantages ===
* You have a [[roommate]], which can be a particular hassle if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend.
* There's only one kitchen and it's in the basement.
* Floor lounges are fairly small.
* If someone hooks up an old school NES to the floor lounge TV, your [[GPA]] is done for.

==Tunnel/roof connections==

===Carman Hall basement===
Go to the maintenance elevator and hit the "C" button for the sub-basement. This is the only open way down or up. The basement has several tunneling connections but they are all locked with padlocks. If you go down here, watch out for the cameras. There is a moderate risk that security could find you. Right as you exit the elevator you will be seen by a camera on the wall. Make sure your back is turned to the elevator doors so it doesn't catch your face. Quickly exit the area near the elevator so you aren't seen. Do not go up the staircase, it is locked and there is a camera in it. Note that the elevator call buttons are disabled on levels B and C. This means once you get out, you can't get back up without the elevator key. If you go down here, you should pre-arrange for someone to come down and get you. Set a time, sync your watches, and be near the elevator when your rescuer comes. You can hide by standing directly under the camera on the wall, it won't see you under it. Bring a flashlight as it is mostly dark down there.

===[[Butler tunnel system]]===
In the C level basement you can see the tunnel behind the north wall because of the lights, but the entrances are all locked. Also, beware of the aforementioned cameras.

The John Jay/Butler/Carman tunnels were once used to transport food from [[John Jay Dining Hall]] to the [[Lion's Den]] cafeteria in [[Ferris Booth Hall]].

===[[Furnald Hall]]===
Unconfirmed that a passage even exists. There aren't any openings on the Furnald side. That locked gate door in the Furnald basement is merely a wheelchair entrance from the street, it doesn't go anywhere.

===Roof===
At the top of the X and Y staircases are the roof exits. The roof itself is quite stunning, with great views all around. In the middle of the roof is a ladder which will take you another 20 feet up onto a small platform. Great for sunsets and dates. Every time the door is open they have dance parties on the roof. Over the years Columbia has added more and more security to the doors since explorers have continually hacked the alarm systems. The easiest way to access the roof is to cause or wait for a fire alarm, then prop the doors open. The door locks automatically disengage during fire alarms. There is also a mag-lock on the Y staircase door, but it has the same weakness. One option would be to cut the wires, which may trip an alarm, but security is unlikely to respond quickly.

In the intervening 5 years, Columbia had fruitlessly held out for a one million dollar donation to name the building. The Columbia Spectator held a naming contest, suggesting the building be named Hawkes Hall after former Dean [[Herbert Hawkes]], or named after [[Gouverneur Morris]].<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19591026-01.2.5]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19591026-01.2.11]; [http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19620226-01.2.17]</ref> It was the most recent addition to Columbia's undergraduate residence halls since [[John Jay Hall]] was completed in [[1927]]. There is a rumor that Carman was built as a temporary structure until funds could be allocated to build a "John Jay II", but this rumor is false. A [[New York Times]] architectural review called it a "Victorian reformatory", noting its nondescript rows of doubles. <ref>[http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/sep05/cover.php "Home on the Heights"] from [[Columbia College Today]], 9/05</ref> For many years afterward, Carman was one of the least popular housing choices.

The eventual redistribution of all first-years to South Lawn combined with investment from administration led to things turning around for the better. Starting in 2017, Columbia performed extensive renovations on Carman, completely gutting and replacing its residential floors and basement lounge. Given the limited construction window provided by Summer Break, work was done in phases: Floors 7-13 and the new basement lounge were completed in Summer of 2018, Floors 2-6 were completed in Summer of 2019, and Floor M will be completed sometime in 2020. This led to a bit of division on the part of Carman residents, as some members of the unrenovated lower floors were left to envy their peers in more palatial accommodations upstairs. Others took their assignment to the lower floors in stride, pointing to the cozier, less corporate feeling of the unrenovated Carman's common spaces. Both parties, however, were mutually united by their fortune in not having been assigned to [[Wallach Hall]] or [[Hartley Hall]].

Carman is now a main-stay in the party scene for first-years, attracting some of the more social members of each Columbia class. It is thus no small coincidence that many aspiring student politicians hail from Carman, with Carmanites disproportionately represented in the first-year delegation to [[CCSC]]. Carman is also the dorm of choice for many of Columbia's sports teams, with many members of a team residing on the same floor.

== Notable Events and Controversies ==
=== Gatherings and Gathering Spots ===
Prior to its 2019 Renovation, Floor 6 was traditionally the rowdiest floor because of its abnormally large non-suite room (613). It garnered over 70 noise complaints in 2010 alone.

In the Spring of 2014 the Notorious Carman 8 ("[[The Ocho]]") threw what came to be known as the paint party - a gathering that involved a fully constructed/equipped bar and a lot of paint.

== Facilities ==

=== Living arrangements ===
==== 4-Person Suite ====
Each entryway leads into a mini suite with two doubles (A and B) and a shared bathroom. The size of each double varies between suites but the B double generally feels larger and allows for more furniture arrangements. The A doubles generally feel long and narrow, so the best arrangement is a bed and desk on each long wall. Every room has their own air-conditioning unit. Each bathroom has 2 sinks, a toilet, and a shower.
==== 10-Person Suite ====
Each entryway leads into a hallway with five separate rooms of tremendously varying sizes. Immediately to the left and right are each suites two single-use bathrooms, each containing a shower and a sink.
==== 'Special Rooms' ====
Most of the upper floors have a double room with a private bathroom adjacent to the elevator lobby and floor lounge.

Some of the lower floors have a four room suite with two bathrooms shared by two doubles and two of the elusive Carman singles. Don't bet your first-choice housing slot on these singles, as they are few and far between.

=== Floors ===
Every floor has a common area with bar chairs and tables, a television, and a couch. Floor lounges are nearly identical in their orientation and size, differentiated by Columbia's choice of NYC-Themed wallpaper. Floors M, 2 and 3 are allocated to first year single-sex housing.

Floor M is the floor on which the GHD, the General Hall Director, resides.

=== Elevators ===

Carman's selection of three elevators are among the most reliable on campus, but are frequently closed in order to clean the massive amounts of vomit and food spewed at odd hours of the night.

The two main elevators connect directly to Carman's lobby, as well as the basement and laundry facilities. These elevators are typically used by residents with room numbers less than 10.

The cargo elevator on the West end of the hall connects down to the loading dock for [[Lerner]] and [[Ferris Booth Commons]]. If taking it to the main(lobby floor), one must exit the elevator, exit to the left through a doorway, cross through a hallway containing the first-floor offices, and then go down a few steps to get into the main lobby During NSOP, the loading dock is opened to allow first-years to use the cargo elevator to move their things in, and is afterwards used primarily by residents with room numbers greater than 10. Accessing this elevator is difficult initially, but will come in handy if either of the main elevators is closed down.

=== Basement ===
==== Laundry Room ====
The laundry room has 15 washers and 15 dryers, but can become crowded at peak usage times. You'll want to do your laundry during weekdays(with the exception of Friday), or at odd hours of the night on Weekends(if necessary). Like any other laundry facility, miserable low-lifes will remove your laundry if you are even a minute late to taking it out of the dryer, and the laundry room's many tables are often strewn with removed clothes.
==== Lounge ====
The basement has a lounge with chairs, tables, large circular couches ideal for meetings, and lots of whiteboards. The door at the far end of the lounge leads to [[Lerner]], and is alarmed with a piercingly-loud alarm with a hair-trigger. This lounge also adjoins the building's only kitchen, which has a microwave, a questionable mini-fridge, and two oven ranges/stoves, a small seating area, as well as plentiful cabinet space.

====Gym and Practice Studios====
The basement also has a gym with a paltry selection of treadmills and steppers. The ventilation is horrid and temperatures skyrocket quickly, but it is much less crowded than
[[Dodge Gym]].

The basement also has music practice rooms you can ask for swipe access for.

== Advantages and disadvantages ==

=== Advantages ===
* Carman has a reputation as the "party" or "social" dorm, probably because of its group living quarters and its incredibly spacious corridors which make fantastic unorganized social spaces.
* [[Lerner Hall]] and Ferris Booth dining hall are next door.
* Several deans have offices on the 1st floor. They can help with advising, scheduling, and give counsel/advice.
* One private bathroom for each suite of 4 people.
* Good soundproofing because the walls are made of concrete, not wallboard.
* Since the rooms are doubles, they feel nice and spacious.
* Enormous closets.
* Air conditioning.
* Elevators are faster and break down less often than in [[John Jay Hall]].

=== Disadvantages ===
* You have a [[roommate]], which can be a particular hassle if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend.
* There's only one kitchen and it's in the basement.
* Floor lounges are fairly small.
* If someone hooks up an old school NES to the floor lounge TV, your [[GPA]] is done for.

==Tunnel/roof connections==

===Carman Hall basement===
Go to the maintenance elevator and hit the "C" button for the sub-basement. This is the only open way down or up. The basement has several tunneling connections but they are all locked with padlocks. If you go down here, watch out for the cameras. There is a moderate risk that security could find you. Right as you exit the elevator you will be seen by a camera on the wall. Make sure your back is turned to the elevator doors so it doesn't catch your face. Quickly exit the area near the elevator so you aren't seen. Do not go up the staircase, it is locked and there is a camera in it. Note that the elevator call buttons are disabled on levels B and C. This means once you get out, you can't get back up without the elevator key. If you go down here, you should pre-arrange for someone to come down and get you. Set a time, sync your watches, and be near the elevator when your rescuer comes. You can hide by standing directly under the camera on the wall, it won't see you under it. Bring a flashlight as it is mostly dark down there.

===[[Butler tunnel system]]===
In the C level basement you can see the tunnel behind the north wall because of the lights, but the entrances are all locked. Also, beware of the aforementioned cameras.

The John Jay/Butler/Carman tunnels were once used to transport food from [[John Jay Dining Hall]] to the [[Lion's Den]] cafeteria in [[Ferris Booth Hall]].

===[[Furnald Hall]]===
Unconfirmed that a passage even exists. There aren't any openings on the Furnald side. That locked gate door in the Furnald basement is merely a wheelchair entrance from the street, it doesn't go anywhere.

===Roof===
At the top of the X and Y staircases are the roof exits. The roof itself is quite stunning, with great views all around. In the middle of the roof is a ladder which will take you another 20 feet up onto a small platform. Great for sunsets and dates. Every time the door is open they have dance parties on the roof. Over the years Columbia has added more and more security to the doors since explorers have continually hacked the alarm systems. The easiest way to access the roof is to cause or wait for a fire alarm, then prop the doors open. The door locks automatically disengage during fire alarms. There is also a mag-lock on the Y staircase door, but it has the same weakness. One option would be to cut the wires, which may trip an alarm, but security is unlikely to respond quickly.

CourseWorks

2020-09-24T14:43:41Z

Karlymarx: 2020 updates

'''CourseWorks''' is a software platform that serves as the digital backbone of Columbia. It allows you to view course information, check your grades, and submit assignments, among other things.

==History==

Courseworks was based on the Prometheus open source platform, and launched in 2001-2002. In 2002, Prometheus was bought by Blackboard, the vendor whose eponymous software serves the same role as courseworks at many of Columbia's peer institutions.

Eventually, Columbia's needs outgrew the capabilities of the Prometheus platform. In 2008, CourseWorks was relaunched on a [[Sakai]]-based platform.

In 2015, Sakai too, would be replaced by the Canvas Learning Management platform, a platform already in use at several other ivies.

== Features ==
Professors can enable various features for their classes:
* [[How to Edit Courseworks Discussion Entries|Discussion]]
* Gradebook
* Syllabus
* Class files
* Course evaluations
Courseworks also gives you access to an extensive multilingual online dictionary.

Men's Basketball Team

2020-09-20T13:19:41Z

Karlymarx: 2020 updates

{{cleanup}}

The '''Men's Basketball Team''' is a NCAA [[w:Division I (NCAA)|Division I]] basketball program in the [[Ivy League]] conference, playing its home games in the [[Francis S. Levien Gymnasium]] on Columbia's [[Morningside Heights campus]]. The current head coach is [[Jim Engles]].

== History ==
The men's basketball team is over 100 years old, having played its first games in [[1900]]. Unlike [[Football]], which did not have a league or conference prior to the formal establishment of the Ivy League in [[1956]], Ivy basketball programs participated in the [[w:Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League|Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League]] (EIBL). The EIBL was founded [[1901]] by five now-Ivies (Columbia, [[Cornell]], [[Harvard]], [[Princeton]], and [[Yale]]), and membership grew and contracted through the leagues final season in [[1955]].

While Columbia's basketball program has not finished over .500 in Ivy League play since [[1992]]-[[1993]], they're not nearly as awful as the [[Football]] team, and are arguably the more decorated team, despite lacking famous victories like Football's [[1934]] and [[1947]] triumphs over [[Stanford]] in the Rose Bowl, and defending national champion Army, respectively.

The last [[basketball]] title claimed by the Lions was in [[1968]], just before protests rocked campus. This is somewhat more forgivable since a team other than [[Penn]] or [[Princeton]] has won the league title outright only eight times since 1956. Even Columbia's '68 title was shared with Princeton.

== Recent performance ==
Men's basketball finished .500 in the conference in 2006 and 16-12 overall for the team's first winning record since the 1992-93 season.

== Honors ==
=== Team honors ===
The team has won 12 EIBL titles (1903-04, 1904-04, 1910-11, 1911-12, 1913-14, 1925-26, 1929-30, 1930-31, 1935-36, 1946-47, 1947-48, and 1950-51) and one Ivy League championship (1967-1968). The team has played in the [[w:NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|NCAA Basketball Tournament]] three times (1948, 1951, and 1968), and been nationally ranked in the [[w:AP Poll#College basketball|AP Poll]] during 4 seasons (1950-51, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70), finishing 3rd in the country in 1951, and 7th in 1968. The [[w:Helms Athletic Foundation|Helms Athletic Foundation]] retroactively recognized Columbia as national champions in college basketball 1904, 1905, and 1910.<ref>Later research by Patrick Premo and Phil Porretta endorsed the 1904 and 1905 honors.</ref>

=== Individual honors ===
Columbia's program has also featured 13 consensus first team [[w:NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans|all-american players]], their 19 combined selections ranking Columbia 9th all time among college basketball programs, tied with Duke. The last all-american was [[Chet Forte]] in 1957, where his co-honorees included future NBA Hall of Famer [[w:Wilt Chamberlain|Wilt Chamberlain]] (whom Forte outscored over the course of the season), and future NBA all-star [[w:Rod Hundley|Rod Hundley]].<ref>[http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_basketball_RB/2012/Awards.pdf NCAA Awards] through 2011.</ref>

The program also has its fair share of black sheep, most infamously, [[w:Jack Molinas|Jack Molinas]] CC'53, who bet on games while a student, leading to a lifetime ban from the NBA, and later was involved in a point-shaving scandal that led to his imprisonment.

'''Wu + Nussbaum (formally Nussbaum & Wu)''' is a cafe and restaurant on [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]] at 113th St, right under the [[600 West 113th Street]] residence hall. Former home of the beloved bakery Nussbaum and Wu, which closed on June 2018 due to a health code violation, the rebranded shop offers both baked goods and hot plates to its customers. Said plates range in quality from mediocre to slightly less mediocre.

Some remember the old Nussbaum & Wu less fondly. Writes one editor: "Everything is just barely tasty enough. The cookies are way too expensive. And the coffee is so strong it could kill a small animal. So why does the place remain so popular? Probably due to its prime location, much like [[Pinnacle]]. Also, it's one of the only non-[[Starbucks]] cafes on Broadway where, if you're patient and aggressive, you can find a seat and relax."

'''Terrence McNally''' [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1960|60]] is a noted playwright.

After flipping a coin to determine whether to attend Columbia or [[Yale]] (he'd won a scholarship to both), McNally wound up graduating [[Phi Beta Kappa]] from Columbia, where he majored in [[English]]. Among his teachers were [[Steven Marcus]], [[Lionel Trilling]], [[Jacques Barzun]], and [[Mark Van Doren]]. He also wrote the 1960 [[Varsity Show]], entitled "A Little Bit Different", and wrote for ''[[Columbia College Today]]''. He eventually won a scholarship from his work in creative writing class that allowed him to travel to Mexico, where he wrote his first script.

He has received four Tony Awards, two [[Guggenheim Fellowship]]s, an [[I.A.L. Diamond Award]], and a lot more hardware than the Columbia Athletic Department.

Karlymarx: spelling

'''Daniel Listwa''' (CC'15) is a 2015 recipient of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Scholarship George J. Mitchell Scholarship]. Daniel is from East Brunswick, New Jersey and was a John Jay Scholar majoring in Economics and Philosophy, and concentrating in Business Management.<ref>http://columbiaspectator.com/news/2014/12/05/daniel-listwa-cc-15-heading-ireland-george-mitchell-scholarship</ref>

==Columbia Involvement==
In the wake of the nuclear reactor meltdown in Japan in 2011, Daniel was part of a research team based at the European Council for Nuclear Research in Switzerland, tasked with studying the state of nuclear policy. He shifted the team’s focus from observation to countering the effects of a fear-inducing media to prevent government policy shifts based on emotion. He subsequently co-founded and served as Assistant Director of the [http://k1project.org K1 Project] at Columbia University, a center for the study of nuclear-related issues, aiming to promote informed debate about nuclear technologies to garner support for disarmament and sustainable energy policies.<ref>http://www.us-irelandalliance.org/content/217/en/?idNumber=5804</ref>

Daniel also served as Editor-in-Chief of The [[Columbia Economics Review]] (CER), the oldest undergraduate economics journal in the U.S., which publishes academic student papers from around the world and maintains an online magazine. During his tenure, CER significantly increased in size and prominence, facilitated in part by the creation of Economicus, the organization's online magazine.<ref>http://www.econmag.org/2014-2015/</ref>

Daniel's other extracurricular involvement included the Gadfly, Journal of Philosophy, for which he was a writer and editor, the Columbia Review, and Koach.<ref>https://www.college.columbia.edu/news/columbia-college-student-wins-prestigious-mitchell-scholarship</ref>

Daniel was the Key Note speaker at the 2015 John Jay Awards Dinner. He was also the 2015 winner of the [[Albert Asher Green Memorial Prize]].<ref>http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/summer15/features10</ref>

He went on to attend [[Yale|Yale law]].

Legacy student

Karlymarx: 2020 updates

[[Image:1902.jpg|thumb|[[1902]] poster featuring an archetypal "Columbia man". He is probably a legacy student, indicated by the photos in the background, featuring relatives clad in Columbia attire.]]

A '''legacy student''' is one whose parents also attended Columbia. While the term is sometimes used more broadly to include grandparents and siblings, the connection usually meant is that of parent-child. Having 'legacy' status is considered to be a positive factor in an applicant's candidacy for admission to Columbia. This often becomes a point of controversy in debates over [[affirmative action]]. The rationale for legacy admissions is to foster strong family ties to the school in the hopes of developing (or in some cases, maintaining) a loyal [[:Category:Donors|donor]] base.

Legacies have made up just about 6% of the incoming classes at [[Columbia College]] on average for the classes of 2004 through 2013. By comparison, the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' reported in January 2003 that "[s]ons and daughters of graduates make up 10% to 15% of students at most [[Ivy League]] schools."<ref>http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/Polk_Alumni.htm</ref><ref>It's unclear whether this includes graduates of all schools or just the respective colleges, as Yale's numbers include matriculating Yale College and graduate or professional school legacies ([http://www.yale.edu/oir/factsheet.html#Statistics on Current 1995 Freshmen Class Factsheet: Statistics on Current 2009-10 Freshmen Class]). The numbers used here for Columbia are limited strictly to children of Columbia College alumni.</ref>. Taken in combination with Columbia historically enrolling the highest percentage of students receiving federal [[Pell Grant]]s in the Ivy League<ref>http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/rankings/national_university_social_mobility.php</ref>, this underscores one of the stark differences in Columbia's identity relative to its peer schools.

William Barr

2020-09-19T17:17:11Z

Karlymarx: syntax

'''William "Bill" Barr''' [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1971|71]] [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences|GSAS]] '[[1973|73]] is the current and 85th Attorney General of the United States, appointed by President [[Donald Trump]] and assuming office on February 14, 2019. He previously served as 77th Attorney General of the United States under President George H.W. Bush from November 26, 1991 - January 20, 1993, and was replaced by Janet Keno, whose deputy [[Eric Holder]] [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1973|73]] [[Law|LAW]] '[[1976|76]] would later become Attorney General under [[Barack Obama]] [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1983|83]].

==Early Life and Education==

Barr is a New York City native, raised on the [[Upper West Side]] and attended [[Horace Mann School]]. His father, [[Donald Barr]][[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1941|41]], taught English at Columbia in addition to being headmaster of the [[Dalton School]].

==Time at Columbia==
Barr attended Columbia during the [[1968 Protests]], siding with the [[Majority Coalition]]. In an interview with the New York Times, Barr fondly remembers blocking protestors from entering Low Library, eventually engaging in a fistfight with [[Students for a Democratic Society|SDS]] members.

After graduating from [[Columbia College]] in 1971 with a degree in government, Barr spent his summers with the CIA and the rest of the year studying for an MA in government and Chinese studies. After graduating from [[GSAS]] in 1973, he went on to work at the CIA full-time.

==Time as 77th Attorney General==

Barr's first tenure as Attorney General in the Early 1990s centered on reassigning FBI resources from counter-intelligence to anti-gang efforts. He made an effort to increase the incarceration rate nationwide. He also pardoned some of the members involved in Reagan's Iran-Contra Affair.

==Time as 85th Attorney General==

Barr's second tenure as Attorney General was met with more criticism than his first. While Barr's efforts in the Early 1990s were instrumental in creating the system of Mass Incarceration present in the United States, his work in the Late 2010s would take a far more dramatic and public tone. He would actively work against a Federal Special Investigation into possible collusion between the Russians and President Trump, offering a notoriously censorous summary of Special Counsel Robert Muller's Findings.

Columbia Daily Spectator

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

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

The '''''Columbia Daily Spectator''''' is the weekly newspaper of the university community and [[Morningside Heights]]. It is written by undergraduate students and operated out of the Spectator office at 120th Street and Clarement Avenue, inside the [[Riverside Church]] property. The paper is referred to simply as "'''''Spec'''''." The paper is printed in broadsheet format every Thursday during the academic term. 5,000 copies are printed and delivered to over 150 locations throughout Morningside Heights, and they are read by God knows how many people.<ref>http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/990.php?ein=131975005&yr=200712&rt=990&t9=A, see page 20, Statement 4</ref>

==Organization & Management==
''Spec'' is currently run by the 144th managing board. Membership of the current and past boards is listed here: [[Managing Board of the Columbia Daily Spectator]].

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

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

==History==

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

===The 1972 Bailout ===

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

===Turn to broadsheet===

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

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

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

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

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

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

=====Defunct=====

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

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

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

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

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

As of 2015, The Eye is no longer in print after the rest of the paper switched to weekly print in fall 2014.

Captain Bayonne

2020-09-19T16:03:20Z

Karlymarx: link update

'''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.

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.

Nick Sprayregen

2020-09-19T15:13:21Z

Karlymarx: 2020 updates

[[File:Conversation-Nick-Sprayregen-Maddy-Kloss.jpeg|thumb|Sprayregen, drawn for ''[[The Blue and White]]'' by Maddy Kloss]]

'''Nick Sprayregen''' was a prominent Manhattan business who owned Tuck-It-Away Storage. Tuck-It-Away had a location in the [[Manhattanville (neighborhood)|Manhattanville]], along with scores of other properties in and around NYC.

==Manhattanville Campus Controversy==
Tuck-It-Away's location on the planned land for Columbia's Manhattanville Campus would catapult Sprayregen into the public eye, as he was one of three parties that refused to sell to his land to the university. Ironically, the very land that Tuck-It-Away was situated on had been owned by the university just 25 years ago, who may have sold the land in the string of financial troubles the university ran into in the early 1980s.

Although he lived on the [[Upper East Side]], Columbia's [[Manhattanville expansion]] seems to have transformed him into an outspoken and generous member of the community. He was a vocal advocate against the expansion of the university into the area. Likely riding the concerns about the gentification of places like nearby Central Harlem throughout the Early to Mid 2000s, Sprayregen sounded the alarm on the possible mass-displacement of local residents.

Some saw Sprayregen as opportunitistic in this activism. Although he was vocally against a cultural shift in the Manhattanville neighborhood, he also had extraordinary financial interests in resisting the university. Some accuse him of resisting the university not on behalf of local residents, but in recognition that he was situated on one of the only pieces the university had left to acquire to complete the first phase of the new campus. Thus in resisting, he could make the university buy from him at a very generous price.

The university remained in negotion with Sprayregen for years, but likely felt a degree of financial and faculty pressure to break ground on the new campus, and was simply unwilling to continue talks with Sprayregen. Working with the powers vested in the state and city goverment in the supreme court ruling Kelo vs. New London, Columbia worked to seize Sprayregen's property through eminent domain. This usage of eminent domain to transfer property from private owners to other private owners was extraordinarily controversial, and was one of the points of protest in the [[2007 hunger strike]], as well as the continued work of [[Mobilized African Diaspora|MAD]].

After fighting Columbia in court for years, Tuck-It-Away could recognize the end was near. The Manhattanville location would wage an anti-Columbia campaign, plastering a billboard reading "Dear Columbia: No Forced Displacement" on its Riverside Drive-facing wall, with the intention of exacerbating the already contentious relationship between the expanding university and nearby residents.

Sprayregen was noticably quieter after his $34 Million settlement with the university.

He passed quietly in 2016.

Beto O'Rourke

2020-09-19T14:27:40Z

Karlymarx: Image refresh

{{wp-also}}
'''Robert 'Beto' O'Rourke''' [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1995|95]] is an American politican who has held numerous positions throughout his home state of Texas, and was one of four prominent Columbians running for the democratic presidential nomination in [[2020]].

==Early Life==
O'Rourke is from El Paso, Texas. Sometime during his time there and at the Woodberry Forest boarding school in Virginia, he would meet his fellow bandmates with whom he would later found the rock band Foss.

==Time at Columbia==
O'Rourke seemed to have an inextraordinary but typical experience at Columbia. He was most notably a member of the [[Rowing Team]], which like many of his boarding school counterparts, may or may not have helped him get in. Contrary to this preppy image, however, it sounds like O'Rourke was quite the bad-boy, skateboarding in the dorms and performing with his punk-rock band. His favorite [[Literature Humanities|lithum]] book was The Odyssey(how vanilla). In fact, he enjoyed the Odyssey so much that he named his firstborn Ulysses.

==Life after Columbia==
O'Rourke would work an odd variety of jobs in NYC before moving home to Texas to run for local office. First elected to the El Paso City Council in 2005, he would work his way up to serving in the United States House of Representatives.

In 2005, he also married Amy Sanders, a public education advocate whose familial wealth would amplify conversations about O'Rourke's privilege's in his 2020 presidential run.

==2018 Senate Run==

In 2018, O'Rourke lost the Texas U.S Senate Race to incumbent Ted Cruz. During the race, he recieved the most votes for a Democrat in Texan electoral history, losing to Cruz by a little over two points. People thought Cruz was so much of an asshole that O'Rourke's campaign was the most best-funded in modern senatorial history, with donations totaling $80 Million.

In February of 2019, O'Rourke returned to his alma mater to speak to local students about his experiences in politics, preaching that an English degree has more value than fancy toilet paper, and mogging Prezbo and Deantini in a photo-op.

[[File:betoprezbo.jpg]]

==2020 Presidential Run==
With the national attention he gained from almost defeating a Republican in a dark red state, O'Rourke was seen as a dark horse contender for the presidency. On Pi Day 2019, O'Rourke announced his run for the position.

Many found his candidacy to be extraordinarily underwhelming. O'Rourke's signature policies centered around gun control and immigration reform. In a primary process that was dominated by conversations about healthcare, O'Rourke was sidelined.

To possibly compensate, O'Rourke embraced the theatric. In the June 2019 presidential primary debate, in what many saw as a performative stunt to gain the Latino vote, O'Rourke broke out into Spanish to answer a question about a possible 70% tax rate on America's most wealthy. On June 30, 2019, O'Rourke would hold a rally at an Immigration Customs Enforcement(ICE) detention facility to protest family separation and child detention policies. While some again saw the move as performative, others heralded O'Rourke for his conviction, questioning why O'Rourke was pursuing the presidency and not the 2020 Texas Senatorial Seat, following the pattern of similar low-profile nominees dropping out to pursue lower offices. O'Rourke refused.

On November 1, 2019, O'Rourke exited the race.

Extinction Rebellion

Karlymarx: date correction

{{wp-also}}

Columbia's chapter of Extinction Rebellion was established in 2018 under the simple premise that EcoReps was "just too nice". While their characteristic method of "civil disobedience" might sound cool, their November 2019 attempt at a hunger strike in [[Butler Library]] only lasted five days, a full five days shorter than the participants in the [[2007 hunger strike]]. What amateurs.

Cynicism aside, Extinction Rebellion was instrumental to the establishment of the [[Climate School]] and worked with Michael Gerrard to propose a divestment strategy for the university, which is still under consideration.

Climate School

2020-09-19T03:18:00Z

Karlymarx: link update

President Bollinger created a Climate Change Task Force led by new-ish director of the Earth Institute Alex Halliday in September 2019 "to consider what more the University should be doing with respect to climate change" (email, Sept 19, 2019). "Are we marshaling our academic resources in ways that are proportionate to the magnitude and gravity of the challenges civilization will face? If we should be doing more, what would that entail and what structures within the University should be created to enhance our research, teaching, and engagement?"

The 104-page report described the current areas of strength in the university, the ways the task force engaged with the rest of the university for feedback, the reasons for creating a climate school, and how it might function. It emphasized a systems-level, interdisciplinary approach to research, two-way engagement with the public, and "bringing knowledge to actions. The transdisciplinary research themes identified were Living with a Changing Planet, Climate Management, and Climate and an Ethical Society. The report proposed a "hub and spokes" model to resist inflexible bureaucracy that starts with recruiting existing faculty for dual-appointments with the climate school and creating joint degree/certificate programs.

On January 30, 2020, President Bollinger released the report, which proposed the formation of a climate school "like no other". Bollinger additionally announced that he was going to appoint a Chief Climate Officer (CCO), who will report directly to him, that Commencement 2020 (canceled due to coronavirus) would be plastic water bottle free (usually they hand out tons of them), that he would like "new ideas" on divestment be submitted to [[ASCRI]] *, and his commitment that Columbia be carbon neutral by 2050 if not sooner (this following two years of campaigning by [https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2019/01/30/columbia-carbon-neutrality/ Columbia for Carbon Neutrality].

On July 10, 2020, President Bollinger announced that the university trustees unanimously voted for the creation of the Columbia Climate School. From Halliday's July 13 blog post, "Why do we need a climate school?", it seems they will be taking the next three years to design and start the school. In an August email, Halliday wrote: "it already is clear that programs in de-carbonization, sea-level change, and food security will be major areas of expansion. At the same time, we will build upon cross-cutting expertise in climate finance, disaster resilience, environmental justice and law, communication and the arts, and climate policy and services."
