Economics Department

2009-12-21T19:51:13Z

Umlund:

The '''Economics Department''' is one of Columbia's largest departments.

Top professors include [[Jeffrey Sachs]], [[Joseph Stiglitz]], [[Xavier Sala-i-Martin]], [[Edmund Phelps]], and [[Glenn Hubbard]], and what economics major could possibly forget [[Sunil Gulati]] or [[Susan Elmes]].

It currently doesn't have its own building. Most faculty currently have offices on the 10th floor of [[IAB]], but others are scattered across campus. A planned move to [[Knox Hall]], a former seminary building on [[Claremont Avenue]], never panned out.

Despite its spatial crunch and incoherence, the department has managed to expand greatly in recent years. In [[2005]] alone it hired 20 professors at once.

==Econ major==

Many students become econ majors in order to please their parents or to boost their chances of getting a toolish job in a field like [[investment banking|i-banking]].

[[Image:68blood.jpg|thumb|A student emerges from the violent aftermath of the 1968 protests]]

In Spring [[1968]], the [[Morningside Heights campus]] was rocked by a series of protests, much like those taking place across the country and world.

At Columbia, the events were ostensibly triggered by the planned construction of a gymnasium in [[Morningside Park]] following decades of neighborhood neglect on the part of the university. Other issues, such as the university's entanglements with the US government and the Vietnam War, played a contributing role.

The protests resulted in a student strike, the occupation of various campus buildings by radical student protesters over the course of a week in late April, and the division of the Columbia student body these actions caused. They came to a violent end when [[University President]] [[Grayson Kirk]] called in the [[NYPD]] to eject the protesters.

Aftershocks continued to disrupt university life for the remainder of the semester, and set the precedent for future protests on campus. The university did not recover from the financial and psychological fallout from the 1968 protests for decades.

==Background==

===Expansion and middle-class flight===

By the 1930s, [[Morningside Heights]] was fully developed. A surrounding middle-class community, not just of students, promised ensure Columbia's long-term stability. An intellectual community had risen alongside intellectual institutions.

The first expansion of the Moningside campus came in [[1905]], when the universide pushed southward to [[114th Street]]. In [[1906]], it announced plans for a 55,000-seat football stadium in [[Riverside Park]] on the [[Hudson River]] at [[116th Street]], but the depression made it virtually impossible to raise the necessary funds for construction. The fact that football was banned in [[1905]] (and did not return to Columbia till [[1915]]), ostensibly for "rowdiness", might also have something to do with it. At the same time, the university was growing and desired to secure housing for its students and faculty. In [[1919]] and [[1920]], it took over its first apartments on [[Claremont Avenue]]. It did so by waiting for the leases of existing tenants to expire and bought them out until it had acquired entire buildings.

After decades of development, the Great Depression completely stopped construction in the neighborhood. As the aftermath of World War II paved the way for Levittowns, the middle-class relocated to the sprawling suburbs. For Columbia, this meant that the intellectual community that was to preserve the neighborhood's desirability was free to leave. The great middle-class flight brought in a new community, unfamiliar to the neighboring intellectual institutions.

The postwar Morningside Heights was designed by frightful landlords that chopped up apartment complexes into smaller units that could be charged at a much lower monthly value. These, along with single room occupancy hotels (SROs) became the postwar Morningside Heights housing market. The neighborhood was no longer uniformly intellectual and middle-class, but a diverse mix of poorer African American and Puerto Rican families. Rather than welcoming the new neighbors, Columbia, believing its survival was in jeopardy, distanced itself completely (SOURCE?).

===Morningside Heights Inc. and growing community tensions===

Columbia and its neighboring intellectual institutions banded together and created an organization called Morningside Heights, Inc. in [[1947]] to stop white-flight and the growth of Harlem. Columbia believed the only way it could continue meant taking back the neighborhood. During the 1960s, the university purchased more than one hundred buildings in the area, mostly SROs, in an effort to save the university. White it worked, it merely escalated tensions that were set to climax in the midst of similar national struggles by the decade's close.

When a local resident asked by ''[[The New York Times]]'' what she thought of Columbia's takeover of buildings throughout the Morningside Heights neighborhood, she replied, "Sure we fear Columbia. After all what is it to us -- a place where our children can never hope to go to school, a place that may be our landlord one day, a place that may force us to move." The [[Cox Commission Report]], published in the aftermath of the protests, revealed that in the early part of the decade, Columbia missed its chance to "use its resources in medicine, psychology, and the social sciences, to rehabilite the prostitutes, drug addicts, and other derelicts in SRO buildings, instead of buying them in an effort to 'clean up' the vicinity." At any rate, Columbia continued to expand -- to the east, it built a [[Jerome Greene Hall | new law school building]] and a [[IAB | public policy school]] between [[Amsterdam Avenue]] and [[Morningside Drive]], the institutional barrier protecting Morningside Heights from what had loosely devolved into the ghetto of [[Harlem]].

===A gym in the park===

[[Image:morningsidegym.jpg|left|thumb|Plan for the [[Morningside Park Gymnasium]] ]]

Separating the intellectual world of Morningside Heights from the slums are 159 stairs that empty out into what was once one of the most blighted green spaces in all of New York: [[Morningside Park]]. With its finances back in order and a $2 million fund raising drive underway, the university again set its sights on expansion. In [[1960]], it announced plans to build a gymnasium in Morningside Park. Such a project would be the first of its kind: a large private institution was to take over public park space for its own interests.

The gymnasium was instantly met with criticism, but not for the reasons that would lead to the eventual building point of the latter sixties. In February of [[1968]], just as construction was finally to commence, twelve were arrested at the site for attempting to halt the bulldozers from entrance to the park. Protesters argued that the gym would desecrate the work of Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of the park (and also of [[Central Park]]). In the early sixties, however, reaction from the community to the proposed gym was generally positive. A ''[[Columbia Spectator]]'' poll released in November of [[1967]] showed that half of those that knew of the gym supported it. After all, Columbia had already been using the park for much of its outdoor athletics, for over a decade, and subsequently provided organized sports for the diverse community youth. In an editorial appearing in ''[[The New York Times]]'' in August of [[1961]] entitled, "Helping Morningside," the newspaper argued that "Morningside Park is one of the all-too-many 'danger spots' among our parks... [t]he character of the entire park could be helped by this gymnasium to be used in all seasons... Columbia University will develop this project in the spirit of neighborhood betterment." Unfortunately for Columbia, the city was still a decade away from routinely farming out public parks to private entities with the hope of cleaning them up for the public good. Time was not on Columbia's side, and the revolutionary mobilization of anti-institutionalism was to clash with what otherwise seemed like Columbia's giving back to the slums adjacent to Morningside Park

There were a number of problems associated with Columbia’s planned gymnasium. The first came in the form of funding. The university had to break ground by [[August 29]], [[1967]] (and complete it within five years) or the project would be stopped by the city. In turn, the university embarked on a fundraising campaign to see the construction through. Initially, the project was to cost $6 million, but it eventually boomed to $13 million. This made it harder for the university to raise the money necessary to build the project in a timely fashion.

Opposition to the park was mounting from Parks Commissioner Tom Hoving, growing community tension, and the advancement the civil rights movement. Historian Vincent Cannato, in his biography of Mayor John Lindsay, noted that "[t]he university calculated that 88 percent of the building would be reserved for the university while only 12 percent was set aside for the community." Furthermore, the gym would have two separate entrances: one for students at the top, facing the main campus, and one for members of the community, in the back, and at the bottom. Parks Commissioner Hoving strongly opposed the arrangement and calling it "highly irregular."

Some politicians took the plans to their own advantage and established the false belief that Columbia "owns half of Harlem." Louis and Mary Lusky, in their report entitled "Columbia 1968: The Wound Unhealed" wrote that "[t]heir political leaders, sensing a chance to win something extra for their constituents, began to be heard." With the growing tensions of the sixties, it was beginning to look more and more like Columbia had lost its chance to build on Morningside Park, but it a combination of a totalitarian university structure coupled with the rise of student activism that eventually brought the gym construction to a bloody halt.

===Students, administrators, and the sixties===

In the early sixties, a strong lack of communication existed between students and administrators. Students were expected to comply with the seemingly totalitarian behavior of the prestigious university. The rise of sixties activism sought to break this barrier. The earliest great campus movement, known as the Free Speech Movement (involving 800 students), took place in [[1964]] on the campus of [[Berkeley]]. At Columbia, two radical organizations had emerged to take on the university administration. The first was the [[Students for a Democratic Society]] (or SDS), led by [[Mark Rudd]]. Whereas SDS embodied middle- and upper- cass outrage, the [[Student Afro-American Society]] (SAS) arose to specifically tackle civil rights. Immediately, a divide existed between the two groups just on the basis of cause. However, like a microcosm of larger sixties activism, the convergence of the two produced enormous results.

The late sixties was also marked by the Vietnam War, and perhaps hit college students the hardest as their peers were routinely sent to battle a war that was highly unpopular on campuses. Columbia's then President [[Grayson Kirk]] sat on the board at the Institute of Defense Analysis (IDA), and recommeneded university professors to work on the Pentagon's defense mechanisms (keeping in mind that Columbia's [[Manhattan Project]] of the 1920s led to the atomic bombs dropped over Japan to end World War II). Students felt that Kirk failed to reveal enough information about the university's military involvement. Furthermore, Columbia submitted class rank information to the Selective Service System to be used in selecting draft deferments. When Mark Rudd brought his petition of 1,500 signatures from members of the Columbia community to President Kirk's office urging a withdrawal in IDA, he received no reply. It was the combination of these issues that contributed to hte uprsising that would follow at Columbia.

==Events of Spring 1968==

===The IDA Six===

When a student was asked to indicate which issue he found most troubling with Columbia at the time of the eventual uprising, he replied, "I have to tell you that if a protester argued about the paint color on the building not being democratic, I probably would have protested that too. What I'm trying to say is that I was desperately seeking issues to vent my frustration and disempowerment." Had Columbia built a gymnasium ten years earlier during the historically conservative fifties, it would have just escaped this student animosity. Instead, it was the sixties and anything that touched a larger issue would be placed under the microscope by radical groups demanding institutional accountability.

[[Image:Spec1968.jpg|thumb|Front page of the ''[[Spec]]'' during the protests]]

When he was unable to communicate peacefully with President Kirk, [[Mark Rudd]] issued a letter declaring that "[y]ou call for order and respect for authority; we call for justice, freedom, and socialism... [u]p against the wall, motherfucker, this is a stick-up." Rudd and five others (who would come to be known as the "IDA Six") were reprimanded for their unwillingness to speak with the college dean in regards to a protest led in March of [[1968]]. One month later, on [[April 22]], the IDA Six finally met with the dean and were placed on probation by the university. The [[April 23|following day]], [[SDS]] held a rally in support of the IDA Six. They marched into President Kirk's office demanding an open hearing. SDS also took the opportunity to mobilize [[SAS]] by acting out against the gymnasium. SAS now had the radical SDS behind them.

===The occupations===

[[Image:Coleman68.jpg|thumb|Dean [[Henry Coleman]] held hostage during the student occupation of [[Hamilton Hall]] ]]

While the doors to [[Low Library]] had been locked, and counter-protesters from the [[Majority Coalition]] (mostly clean-shaven athletes with slick hair) blocking the doors, the protest shifted to Morningside Park, where protesters planned to rip down the chain link fence surrounding the construction site of the gym. Subsequently, some protestors moved to [[Hamilton Hall]] and imprisoned [[Henry Coleman]], Dean of Columbia College, in his own office.

While in Hamilton, the students organized a "Strike Coordinating Committee" and established six demands: amnesty for the protesters facing probation, repeal of the rule against indoor demonstration, ceasing construction of the gymnasium, disaffiliation with the IDA, and an effort from the university to push for charges to be dropped on anyone who interfered with gymnasium construction.

In the next few hours, the Hamilton sit-in would become comprised exclusively of black students. Black students not only protested the gymnasium, but they also rose up against Columbia's lack of African-American students on campus, along with general discrimination. The gym was largely a secondary complaint. By the [[April 24|next day]], they demanded the white students leave them Hamilton in order to express their own, independent concerns. The protesting whites complied. Later, neighborhood activists from [[Harlem]] would surround the university, in solidarity with the Hamilton strikers, and nationally known black activist leaders would visit the site.

[[Image:68math.jpg|thumb|[[Mathematics Hall]] was occupied by the most radical students, and dubbed "Liberated Zone 5"]]

The approximately 100 white students forced out of Hamilton broke into [[Low Library]] and settled in the offices of President Kirk and Vice President [[David Truman]], all within the first 18 hours of the strike. By [[April 25]], students had taken over five buildings at Columbia, including [[Fayerweather]]. [[Avery]] was loosely occupied by sympathetic [[School of Architecture]] students, and [[Mathematics Hall]] was taken by the most radical students.

The faculty reacted in various different ways. Some sided with the administration, which had already called in the police to storm Low before hearing of the loss of Mathematics. Eventually, these faculty tried to blockade Low from incoming protesters on their own - to no avail. Others formed the [[Ad Hoc Faculty Group]] to try to broker negotiations between the strikers and the admiistration. [[Image:Shapiro.jpg|thumb|right|Protester [[David Shapiro]] sits in [[President of Columbia University|President]] [[Grayson Kirk]]'s chair]]
While all this was happening, some professors even continued to hold classes, some just outside the occupied buildings where they normally taught.

In Low Library, many students were occupied reading documents in President Kirk's office, while not consuming his sherry and cigars. Elsewhere, occupying students busied themselves with long political debates. A hippie wedding was staged in Fayerweather.

Neighborhood sympathizers catapulted food into the occupied buildings, while members of the counter-protesting Majority Coalition attempted to block these deliveries, and placed Low under siege. The Majority Coalition also tried to retake Fayerweather, but were unsuccessful.

[[Image:68smackdown.jpg|thumb|Iconic image of the [[NYPD]] beating and arresting students occupying a Columbia building]]

Access to the occupied buildings by campus journalists is legendary. Many still wonder how reporters from the ''Spec'' and [[WKCR]] were able to get scoops on events inside Low Library that national networks were missing out on. One theory is that they had discovered a secret [[tunnels|tunnel]] linking [[Butler]] to Low, but the existence of this tunnel has long been denied, and efforts to locate it have failed.

The attempts of the Ad Hoc Faculty Group to broker a compromise failed to bear any fruit, nor did promises from the administration (including the pledge to end construction of the gym). In desperation, the AHFG turned to the major of New York, John Lindsay, for help. It was too late, however: Kirk had already announced that the [[NYPD]] were to be called to break up the protests.

The police bust began shortly after 2am on [[April 30]]. Police stormed buildings either in frontal assaults or secretly, via the tunnels. In some cases, they battled lines of faculty and students who had not agreed with the occupations but were livid over the use of police power on campus. By all accounts, violence was the rule on all sides. The police were not discriminate. Over 700 students were arrested, and over 150, many not even protest participants, but passive spectators, were injured by police violence.

The [[May 1|next day]], disorder reigned on campus, and students attacked police officers dispatched to keep order.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/25/nyregion/25bigcity.html Disabled During ’68 Columbia Melee, a Former Officer Feels Pain, Not Rage - NY Times]</ref> Classes were almost all immediately suspended, and would continue to be for nearly a week.

== Aftermath of the protests and criticisms ==

[[Image:Cct1968.jpg|thumb|Cover of ''[[Columbia College Today]]'' in the aftermath of the protests, showing the red flag that had flown over [[Mathematics Hall]] ]]

In the end, many of the students' demands were met. Construction of the gym had been suspended. Students gained greater communication with the administration. However, it took decades for the university to restore its image. Alumni donations were down following 1968 and applications for admission had dropped by 20 percent in the next cycle. Perhaps the biggest crime to come out of the vents at Columbia was suffered at the hands of the surrounding neighborhood, as without a gym, Morningside Park had little changed. Not only did it remain the blighted institutional barrier separating the intellect from the ghetto, but it could also be blamed as part of the reasoning behind the institutional collapse of a prestigious university.

In [[1972]], Columbia quietly began construction of a gym built within its own private gates at a northern part of the campus known as [[The Grove]] (ironically, first suggested as a site for a gym in [[1892]] during the university's initial construction in Morningside Heights). Construction of what was to be called [[Levien Gym | Levien Gymnasium]] was met with no opposition. It remains quite small compared to what could have been. For the university, it has served as a detriment to athletics recruitment and has contributed to a subsequent lackluster athletics program. Nevertheless, the university was seemingly forced in this direction. It was eager for a gymnasium, but unable to wait for the tensions of the sixties to fade. Levien Gymnasium was completed in [[1974]] and provided no facilities for the neighboring community. With its opening, the university had done everything in its power to cleanse itself of the 1968 protests.

Since 1968, Columbia has been forced to develop mainly within its own gates. In doing so, the university has been unable to greatly expand at a time in which other academic institutions have done so and continue to do so to attract more students, a better faculty, and generate greater research. Similar concerns have arisen in what is known as the [[Manhattanville controversy]], referring to [[President Bollinger]]'s use of eminent domain to expand Columbia's campus into the [[Manhattanville neighborhood]].

Is this actually considered a separate "department" or is it just the major available to all students administered by the existing department within SEAS? Anyone know?

:: it's not. if you look at the [[Applied Mathematics]] page it says it's a group within a department, not a separate department [[User:Umlund|Umlund]] 00:49, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Columbia-Barnard relationship

2007-10-05T07:31:12Z

Umlund:

[[Columbia University]] and [[Barnard College]] are two independent institutions with a long shared history and a close, somewhat unique, [[:Category:School relationships|relationship]]. Complications in this relationship often lead to misconceptions and endless bickering among students. The relationship between the institutions has been governed since [[1900]] by an [[Columbia-Barnard Intercorporate Agreement|intercorporate agreement]] that is periodically renegotiated or renewed. [[Columbia College]] began admitting female students in [[1983]], creating a potential redundancy between the schools.

==Summary==
Nowadays, Columbia's relationship with Barnard is somewhat paradoxical. On the one hand, Barnard students have the ability to [[Course registration|register]] for almost any class at Columbia, their degrees are conferred by the [[Trustees]] of Columbia University, and Barnard styles itself as "one of four undergraduate schools within the Columbia University system."<ref>[http://ci.columbia.edu/ci/eresources/schools.html Columbia Interactive - School Outlines]</ref> However, Columbia has no administrative relationship with Barnard students, and as a result the University does not count them in any statistical calculation of enrollment, admission, or expenditure. All of these functions fall to Barnard College.

Simply put, Barnard is institutionally independent, while academically and socially linked to Columbia. Institutionally, Barnard has its own board of trustees (chaired by [[Anna Quindlen]]) which oversees the school's operation, its own endowment, its own faculty, its own campus (Columbia does not share ownership of any of Barnard's campus buildings), and its own administration. There are few [[:Category:Freebies|freebies]] between the school- Barnard has to pay Columbia for access to utilities, the libraries, and other facilities. Columbia University does not handle admissions for Barnard, nor does it spend money on or collect money from Barnard students. The same goes for Barnard College and Columbia students. Nevertheless, both student bodies typically benefit in some manner when either school spends money, as the schools tend to keep student programming open to all undergraduates, though this is not always the case.

That said, both schools are academically linked by the intercorporate agreement which allows for nearly seamless, open cross-registration between the schools. As part of the agreement to open cross-registration (instigated by Columbia budgeteers in [[1973]] as a means of opening a new revenue stream by charging Barnard for each credit taken by its students at Columbia), Columbia took partial control of Barnard's tenuring process. This ultimately means that Columbia indirectly exercises some control over the Barnard faculty, in some ways making it an extension of Columbia's own faculty. Though there exist politics between members of departments with counter-parts on either side of the street (such as Columbia vs. Barnard History faculty), the schools generally hire faculty and develop departments with eye towards eliminating redundancies and maximizing the benefits from limited resources. However, in a nod to institutional separation, students answer to the department on their side of the street, even though they can usually register for classes on either side of the street.

Barnard is, for all intents and purposes, part of the same college life as the Columbia schools, despite not being under the Columbia yoke. Though there are practical consequences of Barnard's independent status, in day-to-day affairs the lines between the schools are, in fact, mostly non-existent. This is ultimately a very ambiguous relationship when attempting to determine who is and is not a "Columbia student". The situation has prompted endless rumination from all quarters, both informed and uninformed on the Columbia side, where students admitted to Columbia take issue with Barnard students referring to themselves as "Columbia students".

==Practical Consequences==
As mentioned before, in day-to-day life the lines between the schools are blurred to the point that it all appears like one big student body.

===Registration===
The schools have nearly complete cross-registration, Registration for Columbia students is almost seamless, with Barnard departments courses listed on the [[Columbia Course Directory]], and registrable through the same process as Columbia courses on [[SSOL]].

===Housing===
Barnard and Columbia College/[[SEAS]] undergrads have historically not had swipe access to each others [[:Category:Residence halls|residence halls]]. Students on both sides of the street have varying opinions on this policy. Some Barnard students believe they should have access to Columbia undergraduate dorms, but CC/SEAS undergraduates should not have access to the Barnard dorms because only girls (or mostly girls) live in these dorms and thus Barnard dorms have extra security risks. Other students from both CC/SEAS and Barnard believe that neither of the two undergraduate populations should have access to the other's dorms. The two student populations belong to separate schools, these students argue, and thus each should only have access to their own dorms and the resources therein. Finally there are students, both from Barnard and CC/SEAS, who believe that all the undergraduates within Columbia University should have access to each others dorms. Students of this view generally argue that the two student populations are not really separate and that it is inconvenient for both Barnard and CC/SEAS students to not be able to swipe into each others dorms.

The most recent attempt to enact swipe access between schools was scuttled by [[CCSC]] in 2001. Additionally, the excuse that Barnard and Columbia have separate security offices and separate swipe access systems, integrating would be too difficult and costly. Recently there was an [[SGA]] campaign for a compromised "Flash Access," in which Barnard/CC/SEAS undergraduates would be able to sign a special security contract and then would be able to themselves sign into the other schools dorm.

Students from each school have the option live in the other's dorms, in which case they are granted swipe access (Barnard students are granted access to all Columbia residence halls, while Columbia students are granted access only to their own building). Columbia students can opt to live in Barnard housing (usually [[Plimpton]]), and some students opt to [[Summer Transfer]] into Plimpton to get out of a bad Columbia housing choices if they have a really bad lottery number. Similarly, Barnard students can live with their Columbia friends in group housing (they cannot register by themselves for the Columbia lottery, but must register as a group with Columbia students). However, the number of Barnard students allowed to live in Columbia housing is limited, and cannot exceed the number of Columbia students who opt to live in Barnard housing.

==Other Aspects==

===Athletics and the Ivy League===
As part of an NCAA approved consortium, Barnard does not maintain an athletics program of its own, but instead women athletes from Barnard compete on University-wide (i.e. "Columbia") athletic teams. There are 3 such consortiums in the nation (such as the one between the 5 colleges of Claremont Mckenna), and Columbia-Barnard's is the only one in Division I. Barnard athletes figure prominently on a number of teams, including Archery.

Whether or not Barnard is an '[[Ivy League]]' school hinges on the interpretation of this arrangement. The Ivy League is an NCAA Division I athletics conference with 8 member schools. Though Barnard itself is not affiliated with the league, as it has no athletics program, its athletes are represented in the league, though only through its connection to Columbia.

===Diplomas===
One of the more contentious points of the agreement between the school, Barnard College degrees are officially granted by the Trustees of Columbia University, the same body that grants degrees to all Columbia students. This is despite Barnard's status as an affiliate as opposed to an undergraduate school of the University itself, and is often the grounds on which Barnard students argue that they are "Columbia students." Barnard students also take part in Columbia's [[University Commencement]] exercises.

===Single-sex admissions===
Barnard's single-sex admissions policy is an issue of some controversy in some circles on Columbia's campus. Some consider it to be outmoded and even sexist. The Barnard administration, as well as the majority of the Barnard student population, believe that its single-sex policy is necessary to the educational mission and general college environment. Generally they point to both the continual existence of sexism within society as well as data that suggests that at least some women work better and are more likely to succeed when they are educated at single-sex colleges. Barnard has a unique relationship with its parent Ivy compared to the other [[Seven Sisters]] colleges. For example, before [[Harvard University|Harvard]] went co-ed, Radcliffe College was a separate college affiliated with Harvard. Soon after Harvard began accepting women, Radcliffe was subsumed into Harvard College. Barnard has long been concerned about losing its individual identity as a college, as Radcliffe did, and as it most certainly would if it integrated with Columbia.

==Petty Nitpicking==
Some of the things people will endlessly argue over are as follows.

===E-Mail Addresses===
Barnard students are given email address at both barnard.edu and columbia.edu. There are some who believe this is unfair because Barnard students are only affiliates of the school. However, most would point out this is policy is for academic simplicity. This way, teachers can just email all their students at their Columbia email addresses using [[Courseworks]], instead of having to figure out which students have Columbia email addresses and which have Barnard email addresses.

==== Facebook ====
A related issue is Barnard's presence on [[Facebook]]. Specifically, that it doesn't have one. Rather than create overlapping 'networks' like they did for the Claremont Colleges, the Facebook programmers decided to create only one network. Since facebook networks are largely based on e-mail domains (the @columbia.edu part of your address), there's really nothing to do. Students are ambivalent about this issue, as there are a number who lament the lack of distinction between Columbia and Barnard students, though most admit that it would be unfortunate for students at both schools not to be able to stalk each other.

===Selectivity===
Some of the more ahem, elitist, Columbia students argue that Barnard students identifying themselves as "Columbia students" cheapen Columbia students' prestige, as they believe Barnard students since admission to Columbia is considerably more selective than to Barnard. They point to figures such as Barnard's significantly lower high school GPA, class rank, SAT scores and higher [[Admissions|acceptance rate]]. Barnard students often argue that they perform just as well as Columbia students in Columbia courses, though there has yet to be any concrete evidence of this.

'''St. Anthony Hall''', better known as '''St. A's''' is a national organization that was founded at Columbia in [[1847]] and has since established chapters at elite universities around the country. It has the Greek letter designation '''Delta Psi'''. As Columbia's was the first chapter of the organization, it is known as the '''Alpha Chapter'''.

It is best described as half fraternity, half secret society. Though highly secretive, the organization is also known for its formalwear parties, and rumors of cocaine use abound.

At Columbia, St. A's owns a building on [[Riverside Drive]] adjacent to [[Woodbridge Hall|Woodbridge]], between [[116th Street|116th]] and 115th Streets.

==History==

St. A's was first founded at Columbia in 1847, although it did not have a home of its own until [[1879]], when the first St. A's house opened. It is still standing at 29 E. 28th St. and was designed by [[Columbia College]] alum [[James Renwick, Jr.]] According to the ''[[New York Times]]'', "old photographs show a high stoop arrangement with the figure of an owl on the peeked roof and a plaque with the Greek letters Delta Psi over the windowless chapter room. In 1879 the ''New York Tribune'' called it French Renaissance, but the stumpy pilasters and blocky detailing suggest the Neo-Grec style then near the end of its popularity." A late 19th century newspaper account dubbed the building a "perfect Bijou of tasteful decoration"

The present house on Riverside Drive was built in [[1899]], just after Columbia's move to [[Morningside Heights]], and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The former house was kept for a few years as a club for members from all chapters. From [[1904]] to [[1990]], a purpose-built St. Anthony's Club also operated for members of all branches of the society in an E. 64th St. townhouse.

== Alleged incidents ==

Once, St. A's kids threw a glass bottle at a black kid, sparking a protest that lasted about five minutes.

On another occasion, a black student entering St. Anthony Hall for a party held the door open for a young white female. She responded, "Thank you, I haven't seen you before, how long have you been working here?". She was later rather embarrassed.

Brothers of [[Pi Kappa Alpha]] once snuck a homeless person into one of the St. A's parties, claiming that the man was a professor of East African studies. He was able to stay long enough to get one drink before members of St. Anthony Hall ejected him.

== Members ==

Members are believed to include: Gussie Foshay Rothfeld, Rebecca Dunnan, Gillian Rogers, Clay Wiske, Preston Pohl, Brian Mulligan, Timothy Tzeng, Hugh Pollack, Bunny, Zoe Barry, Wyatt Angelo, Alexander Sullivan, Alexander Howard, Lizzy Fraser, Mariah Samost, Gabrielle Sloame, Charlotte Chapman, Lindsay Talbot, Katie Forer, Molly Black, Leila Forrence, Martina Hansen and Charmaine.

{{wp-also}}

'''Adderall''' is some study-powers-enhancing drug that some students no doubt take at Columbia. Lots of people have been asking how to get it on [[Bored at Butler]]. Apparently it is really really helpful, but it has some side effects, and many people become dependent on it (or at least feel they depend on it too much to give it up).

In [[2007]], a [[Lit Hum]] section leader leaked info that helped some students study for the [[IDs]]. This study guide spread to many students in the Class of 2010.

If you have a copy of the study guide, please upload it [[Special:Upload|here]] (.doc and .pdf documents accepted) for inclusion on this page. It's totally anonymous. Or send it to wikicu@gmail.com and I'll upload it.
