Columbia University Swing Dancing Club

2013-04-25T00:42:24Z

Marcus Levine: /* Levels */

'''Columbia University Swing Dancing Club''', better known as '''CU Swing''', offers weekly, 1 hour swing dancing classes in [[Lerner Hall]] taught by professional swing instructors. It also coordinates club members for on- and off-campus swing events.

== Levels ==
The class is offered at two levels: beginner and intermediate. Advanced level is not being offered at this time. Anyone is free to show up for any class, but beginner is tailored towards students who have no prior swing experience. Generally speaking, the Intermediate level requires knowledge of the eight-count step, Lindy Hop.

== Guy:Girl ratio ==
Most of the classes tend to have a slight excess of girls, with a guy girl ratio of about 4:5. To deal with this, partners are rotated, so that everyone has a chance to practice. In addition, some girls will spend the class learning to dance as "leads".

==Performance Troupe==
The club's performance troupe, made up of the most experienced dancers, participates in contests at other colleges, most notably [[NYU]], as well as at various campus events such as [[Days on Campus]] and [[Relay for Life]].

== Semi-formal Dances ==
Toward the end of each semester, the club hosts a semi-formal dance party, usually in the [[Diana Center]] Event Oval. The event attracts attendees from both the Columbia community and the wider New York swing scene, often featuring performances by a local New York swing band, the club's performance troupe, and dancers from the New York community.

== Club dues ==
As of Spring 2013, semesterly dues were '''$30''' for undergraduates and '''$40''' for graduates.

Foreign language requirement

2013-04-25T00:31:05Z

Marcus Levine:

The '''language requirement''' is the [[Core Curriculum]] rule that you need to complete the fourth semesters of a foreign language sequence. You can avoid it by testing out, or at least minimize the inconvenience by skipping to the 2nd, 3rd or 4th semester of the language.

Joseph Pulitzer

2013-04-25T00:22:15Z

Marcus Levine: /* Journalism School Building */

{{wp-also}}

'''Joseph Pulitzer''' (1847-1911) was a newspaper magnate whose gifts led to the establishment of the [[Journalism School]] and the [[Pulitzer Prize]].

==Summary==

===Early Life and Career===
Hungry for adventure, Pulitzer immigrated to the United States in 1864 from Hungary in order to serve in the American Civil War. After the war, he moved to St. Louis, where he quickly rose in the ranks of the Republican Party, achieving the Missouri State Assembly in 1869. After the futile election campaign of Horace Greeley for president, Pulitzer defected to the Democratic Party. He was a brilliant journalist, single-handedly bringing about the merging of the ''St. Louis Post'' and the ''St. Louis Dispatch.'' The ''Post-Dispatch'' remains St. Louis' daily newspaper.

==="Yellow Journalism"===
In 1883 Pulitzer purchased the ''New York World'' and converted the failing newspaper into a thriving franchise by reporting on spectacular and sensational stories. By 1895, it was the largest newspaper in the United States in circulation. The term "Yellow Journalism" came to be associated with Pulitzer's showman-like style after his paper's aggressive coverage of the Spanish-American War.

==Columbia University==

===Role in Establishing the Journalism School===
In 1892 Pulitzer offered the then-president [[Seth Low]] money to establish the world's first journalism school. Low was not impressed by the newspaper magnate's unscrupulous reputation and refused. [[Nicholas Murray Butler|Butler]] was a little more receptive, prompting the magnate to leave $2 million to Columbia University in his will. The [[Graduate School of Journalism|Journalism School]] was founded in 1912, according to Joseph Pulitzer's wishes. However, thanks to initial Low's insistence on maintaining the University's image, the J-School failed to become the first journalism school in the world; this distinction goes to Missouri School of Journalism at the University of Missouri, which was founded in 1908 under Pulitzer's direction and endorsement.

===Pulitzer Prize===
The first [[Pulitzer Prize|Pulitzer Prizes]] were handed out in 1917, according to the old man's wishes.

===Journalism School Building===
In 2012, the Journalism building was renamed Pulitzer Hall, in belated accord with Joseph Pulitzer's original gift agreement with the University, which stipulated that "the building shall bear the name of the donor." Better a century late than never.<ref>[http://www.journalism.columbia.edu/page/818/12 The press release from Dean Lemann, March 7, 2012] </ref>

Hungarian Pastry Shop

2013-04-25T00:09:29Z

Marcus Levine:

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

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

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

The bathroom is noteworthy for being filled with political graffiti of predictable character, although it has been more frequently painted over in recent times.

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

Valedictorian

2013-04-24T23:54:15Z

Marcus Levine: /* Valedictorians of Columbia College */

The '''Valedictorian''' of [[Columbia College]] is selected each year by the faculty [[Committee on Honors, Awards, and Prizes]] each year along with the [[Salutatorian]]. While Valedictorian is the higher honor, at Columbia College only the Salutatorian gets to deliver a speech at [[Class Day]]. The Valedictorian gets to sit on stage and smile.

Each year COHAP identifies no more than 15 students with GPAs over 4.00 on the basis of the "strength, breadth, depth, and rigor of the student's academic achievements as well as on evidence of the student's intellectual promise, character, and achievement outside the classroom." Following the identification of this cohort, the departments in which the students majored are contacted and asked to submit evaluations of the identified students, which are used by the committee in selecting the winners.

For a period, [[Rabi Scholars]] dominated the Valedictorian competition, having been selected as the Val in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007. This may have been a result of their tendency to be among the brightest science students accepted to Columbia (and therefore likely to take advantage of the GPA bias inherent in the hard sciences, where top students earn A+s, a grade typically not awarded by professors in 'softer' disciplines), the close relationship with faculty that the scholars typically enjoy, or a combination of the two.

The overwhelming next move for valedictorians in the last decade has been a [[PhD]], with every valedictorian since at least 2002 earning or having earned one.

Because the qualifications for it are virtually synonymous, valedictorians usually also receive the [[Albert Asher Green Memorial Prize]].

The best coffee in Morningside Heights, as demonstrated by Bwog's Spring 2012 [http://bwog.com/tag/coffee-contest/ coffee contest].

When the results were first posted, much confusion ensued as Bwog wasn't clear about which breakfast cart was the best. After some clarification, this is definitively the cart on 118th and Broadway, right in front of the gates behind [[Earl Hall]].

Oren's Daily Roast

Marcus Levine: /* Pro */

'''Oren's Daily Roast''' is a coffee shop on [[Broadway]] between 111th and 112th Streets. It's part of the [[New York City]] chain, and fairly pricey. There are differing opinions with respect to whether or not the coffee is any good. It just wouldn't be Columbia if we all agreed.

==Pro==

It's the best coffee around, period. [http://bwog.com/tag/coffee-contest/ Except for the Breakfast Cart on 118th and Broadway]. Oh, and it's not [[Starbucks]], which you might hate.

==Con==

It kinda sucks. The coffee is overroasted just as badly as at other coffee chains, and the overwhelming self-importance of the customers getting their rocks off by buying poor coffee anywhere other than Starbucks is stifling.
