<div>Never heard of this. How many people have even been on the Low roof? 4? [[User:Pacman|Pacman]] 20:19, 28 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
I know someone who had sex in PrezBo's personal elevator. There is a stairway to the roof that is rarely locked on the upper level. I would imagine it wouldn't be too hard.<br />
<br />
I have also never heard of this. [[User:WhatYouKnowAboutThat|WhatYouKnowAboutThat]] 17:25, 29 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
Some students were caught having sex on the roof of Low a few years ago. It was either during senior dinner or winter gala, whichever one used to be held in Low. It's not now, because of that incident. In any case, the roof is definitely accessible. I heard about Kings Quest from a Pike brother who graduated last year.</div>FrankNortonhttps://www.wikicu.com/index.php?title=Julia_Stiles&diff=18199Julia Stiles2007-09-28T21:52:55Z<p>FrankNorton: </p>

'''Julia Stiles''', [[Columbia College|CC]] '05 (though she arrived in '00), is an actress famous for several teen movies. She lived in [[John Jay Hall|John Jay]] her freshman year and supposedly set her kitchen on fire once. It's rumored she gave a guy a blow job in Lerner, but it probably never happened.<br />
<br />
On an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, she compared the employees of [[John Jay Dining Hall]] to "mole people"<ref>[http://juliastiles.free.fr/articles/articles_2002/seventeen1_2002.html Fansite republication of Seventeen Article] which discusses "mole people" incident</ref>, causing a campus uproar and forcing Stiles to apologize and shoot back with a fiery editorial in the ''[[Spec]]''.<ref>[http://media.www.columbiaspectator.com/media/storage/paper865/news/2001/02/22/Opinion/Enough.Is.Enough-2041421.shtml "Enough is Enough"], Julia Stiles, Columbia Spectator. 2/22/01</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>'''JJ's Place''' is the late-night [[dining]] location at Columbia, open until 4am on Sunday to Thursday. JJ's is located in the basement of [[John Jay Hall]], though you don't need swipe access to reach it. The location also houses a student cooperative organic market. It was at one time an on-campus bar, serving alcohol to upperclassmen.<br />
<br />
JJ's menu features chicken fingers, burgers, smoothies, fries, and other artery-clogging options. There's also a candy-by-the-pound rack and a small "mini-mart" section with lots of junk food and basic groceries (chips, cookies, cereals, dried pasta, etc). All purchases can be paid for using [[Flex]] or [[Dining Dollars]] as well as cash.<br />
<br />
JJ's has OK seating with lots of tacky timber. A pool table arrived in 2007, LCD televisions were installed in [[2006]] at each booth, and there's a television at the far end of the room which primarily features [[w:ESPN|ESPN]], though can be changed to different channels using the handy channel up/down buttons on the front.<br />
<br />
== Opening hours ==<br />

Some students believe JJ's should open on weekend nights as well as weekday nights.<br />

<div>Though its origin is murky, the '''Kings Quest''' is well known among Columbia men. The challenge is simple: have sex in each of three campus locations.<br />
<br />
1) The [[Butler Sex|Butler stacks]]<br />
2) The roof of [[Low]]<br />
3) The [[tunnels]]<br />
<br />
By one account, the pairing must be with a Barnard student, and some versions substitute the gym or swimming pool for the tunnels.</div>FrankNortonhttps://www.wikicu.com/index.php?title=Butler_sex&diff=18194Butler sex2007-09-28T21:22:22Z<p>FrankNorton: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''Butler Sex''' refers to the act of hooking up in [[Butler Library]]. Most hookups occur in the stacks after hours ("staxxion"), accessible through the basement. This much mythologized subculture of Columbia is driven by the unique pressurized scene that makes Butler a petri dish for desperate social interactions. <br />
<br />
Many a Butler hookup has been coordinated on Craigslist or on [[Bored at Butler]].<br />

<hr />
<div>{{prefrosh}}<br />
<br />
How to ride the subway like an expert, or, since you're now a Columbia student, how to look like an expert while riding the subway.<br />
<br />
==MetroCards ==<br />
<br />
MetroCards can be obtained in advance with [[flex]] or cash at a slight discount at the [[vending machines]] in [[Lerner Hall]]. In the station, MetroCards can be purchased from MetroCard vending machines using cash, credit, or debit. A single ride MetroCard, good for two hours, costs $2.00, though customers can save by purchasing pay-per-ride MetroCards. Pay-per-ride MetroCards can store between $4 and $80. Putting on $10 on your pay-per-ride MetroCard triggers a 20% bonus, whereby 6 rides can be obtained for the price of five (or, more accurately, $1.67 per ride). Unlimited MetroCards are also available for one day until the next 3 a.m. ($7), for seven days ($21), or for thirty days ($76). Complete MetroCard information is available [http://www.mta.info/metrocard/ here].<br />
<br />
== In the station ==<br />
<br />
Trains are often rerouted for system maintenance, especially on late nights (commonly between midnight and 5 a.m.), weekends, and holidays. It may be a good idea to check the [http://www.mta.info/ MTA website] for service changes and alerts before leaving. Advisories known in advance specific to individual stations are generally posted throughout fare control and subway platforms. A weekend summary is commonly posted next to the system map on subway platforms. Station attendants, usually located in booths at many points of fare control, should be able to assist with routine questions. <br />
<br />
== Trains ==<br />
<br />
=== How to get to Columbia ===<br />
<br />
Take the (1) train to 116.<br />
<br />
If beginning south of 96 on the Broadway IRT (1), (2), and (3), make sure you are on a (1) train before leaving 96. When service is running normally, this means walking across the platform at 96 to the local track. When (2) and (3) trains are running local (late nights and sometimes due to system maintenance), this means detraining at 96 and waiting for a (1) train on the same track. (2) and (3) trains do not run up Broadway north of 96.<br />
<br />
=== Advice for going uptown ===<br />
<br />
There's a world of New York north of Columbia that's mostly accessible by subway. Boarding an uptown (1) train at 116 means only an 8-10 minute ride to the [[Columbia Medical Center]], exiting at the venerable 168th St station, and a 15 minute ride to the [[Baker Field]] athletic complex, exiting (above ground) at 215th St.<br />
<br />
=== Advice for going downtown ===<br />
<br />
Beginning on a downtown (1) train at 116, be aware that the option usually exists to transfer to an express train across the platform at 96. The (2) and (3) express trains travel down Broadway on the Upper West Side and 7th Avenue below, making stops (alongside the (1) train) at 72, 42, 34, 14, and Chambers. Intermediate stops are accessible on the (1) train. Remember, express trains only save 5 to 10 minutes, tops, depending on one's destination. While time should be saved when traveling south of 34, it is probably to one's benefit to remain on the (1) train when traveling only as far as 42 (Times Square, a major transfer hub) or 34 (Penn Station, the next stop), unless you spot an express train arriving on the other side of the platform at the same time the (1) train arrives.<br />
<br />
== Crosstown ==<br />
<br />
There are a number of ways to get crosstown from 116. The most direct route is not by subway, but rather by bus. The M4 (heading downtown), which can be picked up at 116 and Broadway makes a left on 110 and a right down 5th Avenue (with a stop at 86 for the Metropolitan Museum of Art). The M4 runs back up along Madison Avenue. Be advised that local buses do generally stop, if requested, at every avenue and every couple of blocks. Once on the east side, the subway runs up and down Lexington Avenue.<br />
<br />
Crosstown buses are also available at 125 (one of which, the M60, can be boarded at 116 and Broadway), 96, 86, 79, 72, 66, 57, 50, 42, 34, 23, and 14, all north of Houston. Also, the (L) subway runs across 14 (and into Brooklyn).<br />
<br />
==Advanced techniques==<br />
<br />
===Pre-walking===<br />
If you're short on time, a good technique is the pre-walk. This involves moving along the platform before your train arrives and serves two main purposes. On a busy day, pre-walking to the front or back of the train can mean a more comfortable ride in a less crowded car. Pre-walking can also minimize time spent in a transfer or exiting the station if you know the layout of your destination. For example, if you are coming uptown to Columbia on the (1), try pre-walking so that you enter the third car on the train. When you exit, you'll be right at the stairs!<br />
<br />
===Sub down, Bus back===<br />
This technique takes advantage of the fact that you can tranfer to a bus within one hour of riding the subway. If you are making a short trip, it can save you $2.00. Suppose you're hosting a party, but you need a cable to connect your iPod to your suite's speakers. Take the subway down to 86th street, pop into PC Richards for the cable, then ride the [[M104]] back up to campus.<br />

'''Robert Jay Trump''', [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[2009|09]], was a writer for the 113th Annual [[Varsity Show]], and is one of the first people on record to complete the Tour de [[Hamilton Deli|Ham Del]]. He has also written for [[The Fed]], sold his [[Facebook]] profile on eBay ([[Chas Carey]] bought it), and been picked up by the Coast Guard while rafting down the Hudson River.<br />
<br />
Not only is Jay Rob's middle name, it is also one of his great passions: "The Blue Jay has always been my favorite bird," he claims, mostly because of its regal crest and distinctive call. Rob is currently trying to get an ornithological society started at Columbia so that others can share in his love of birds.<br />
<br />
[[Category:Columbia College students|Trump, Robert]]</div>FrankNortonhttps://www.wikicu.com/index.php?title=Senior_Societies&diff=18188Senior Societies2007-09-28T02:10:17Z<p>FrankNorton: </p>
<hr />
<div>Columbia does not really have any Secret Societies (unless you count [[St. A's]], which can be pretty secret''ive''). If it does, then they're pretty damned secret because no one knows about them. Columbia does have two very low-profile '''Senior Societies''', the Senior Society of [[Sachems]] and the Senior Society of [[Nacoms]]. Most students don't even know the societies exist.<br />
<br />
Each society taps 15 juniors each year, the Sachems by luring the candidates into an ambush where he or she gets hit in the face with pie, the Nacoms by convincing the candidate that he or she is in trouble.<br />
<br />
Society membership tends to reflect powerful student leaders across the campus, and some seats develop 'lineages', passing on from one holder of a leadership position to the next.<br />
<br />
The Sachems were responsible for a [[2005]] prank in which the [[Lerner Hall]] ramps were decorated with saffron colored banners to mimic Cristo's "The Gates" installation in Central Park.<br />
<br />
Their commitment to secrecy is questionable. Current members take it very seriously, but many alumni put it on their resumes.<br />
<br />
There is some indication that there was a secret society nearer the beginning of Columbia's history, possibly called LNF (but what that stands for is a mystery), but little to nothing is known about it, and if it did exist, it is unlikely that it still does.<br />

<div>'''Alice!''' is short-hand for the Alice! Health Promotion Program, a department within Health Services. They're best known for running '''Go Ask Alice!''', an online health question and answer service. Don't expect them to answer your personal questions -- they get too many and you wouldn't get a response until after you're done with your Ph.D. program, anyway. While most amusing for the multitude of questions dealing with sex (from the very dumb -- "Can I get pregnant from oral sex?" -- to the TWS-inducing -- check out "Cock-stuffing"), there's other health topics covered too. The site was recently featured on Fox News, which used it to further its characterization of Columbia as not just any fascist liberal anarchist institution, but one with a bunch of perverts to boot.<br />
<br />
Actual questions on the site include:<br />
<br />
* Is it possible to "break" your penis?<br />
* The Pill: Where do I get it, how much does it cost, and do my parents have to know?<br />
* Can condom stay if erection went away? <br />
* Birth control pills inserted vaginally?<br />
* Burning when I pee?<br />
* After miscarriage... need to see a doc? <br />
<br />
Alice! is also in charge of Stressbusters (those people that seem to show up in random places to give back rubs).<br />
<br />
Alice! also has an office on the seventh floor of [[Lerner]], but nobody really wants to know what goes on in there. After the closure of the [[Wien Food Court]], Alice! began to move into the space on the ground floor of Wien. The transformation is very secretive, as the windows and doorway are covered from view.<br />

<br />
'''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'''.<br />
<br />
It is best described as half fraternity, half literary society. Though secretive, the organization is known for its formalwear parties, and rumors of cocaine use abound.<br />
<br />
At Columbia, St. A's owns a building on [[Riverside Drive]] adjacent to [[Woodbridge Hall|Woodbridge]], between [[116th Street|116th]] and 115th Streets. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
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"<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Alleged Incidents ==<br />
<br />
Once, St. A's kids threw a glass bottle at a black kid, sparking a protest that lasted about five minutes.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
At a St. A's party, one member declared, "Who are all these people. Make everybody leave." He must have had some clout, because everybody did.<br />

<div>The '''M104''' bus runs along [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]] on the [[Upper West Side]] and in [[Morningside Heights]], making it convenient for shorter trips than one would normally take along the 1 line of the [[subway]]. It is a useful line when using the "sub down, bus back" technique, which allows a student to spend only $2.00 on a short round trip journey.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Naked Run''' is a hilarious annual event in which students take a nude dash down the steps of [[Low Library]], around [[South Lawn]], past [[Butler Library]], and back up [[The Steps]], all while singing the Columbia fight [[song]], "Roar, Lion, Roar". The Naked Run is held every October. The runners are usually surrounded by a smattering of onlookers and photographers. The morning after the event, a select few runners have the fortune or misfortune of finding themselves in the pages of the [[Columbia Spectator|Spectator]].<br />
<br />
The event has traditionally been organized by the [[Track Team]] and advertised as its "initiation event". However, the team has downplayed its involvement in recent years due to the risk that the event may be considered [[hazing]].<br />

<br />
*A mob of white students beat a black student, [[Mike Jones]], and a couple of his friends outside [[Ferris Booth Hall]]. Black students mobilize on campus and take over [[Hamilton Hall]]. Professor [[Marcellus Blount]] is arrested during these protests. Protesters' demands led to the creation of the [[Intercultural Resource Center]].<br />
*Future student, [[Rob Trump]] was born.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Class Day''' is like graduation, but not really ([[Commencement]], at which students are formally conferred their degrees, is held on a separate day). These celebrations, held for each of Columbia's undergraduate schools, feature keynote speakers (usually alumni), and an occasion for students to have their names called out and walk across the stage. Their existence forces students' parents to spend an extra day or two dealing with their children's commencement.<br />
<br />
==Speaker controversies==<br />
<br />
Speakers at recent [[Columbia College]] class days have been controversial. In [[2006]], Senator [[John McCain]] spoke, and many were upset that he did not represent the political beliefs of most CC students. [[Matthew Fox]], a star of TV's ''Lost'', was the speaker for [[2007]], and was seen as an underwhelming or inappropriate choice for such a serious occasion, although his speech turned out well-received. These controversies generally involve only students from the senior class, who desire a meaningful close to their four year stint at the university.<br />

|Name=Hartley<br />
|Image=Hartley.jpg<br />
|Built=[[1904]]<br />
|Renovated=<br />
|Population=230}}<br />
'''Hartley''' is one of the two residence halls that make up the [[Living Learning Center]]. It was built in [[1904]] and is the oldest residence hall on campus. It is noted for having the narrowest double on campus, 2C5, where a tall man (or woman) can touch two walls at any point in the room.<br />
<br />
[[Jack Kerouac]] lived here once, and enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Hartley Hall, Columbia's first dormitory, celebrated its centennial in [[2004]], although it did not open to students until [[1905]]. The building was the gift of Helen Hartley Jenkins and her nephew [[Marcellus Hartley Dodge]], two names which would grace the Columbia lexicon repeatedly throughout the twentieth century. Many students bemoan the shocking variance of room size wherein an occupant of a cramped 94-square foot single may find him or herself ten feet away from a 110-square foot single, but there is a method to this madness. In [[Nicholas Murray Butler]]'s day, room size and location depended on the rate one was willing to pay, not a lottery process backed by a flat fee. President Butler intended for his dormitories to be "in the interest of true democracy," by liberally interspersing larger rooms with smaller ones (and by implication, richer students with poorer ones).<br />
<br />
It should also be noted that Hartley, and its twin, [[Wallach]], were dedicated exclusively to undergraduate housing, a rather odd move in the days when Columbia was still considering shutting down the College outright ([[SEAS]], or rather the School of Mines, was still a graduate-and-professional faculty, and a fairly profitable one at that, and thus was spared the budgeter's wrath). In [[2000]], the [[Living and Learning Center]] program began at Hartley and Wallach Halls in what supporters enthusiastically called a genuine attempt to build community and foster student body cohesion, and what detractors cynically label a failed attempt to imitate [[Yale]]'s residential college model.<br />

'''Max Abramovitz''' [[Architecture School|Arch]] '[[1931|31]] designed [[Jerome Greene Hall]], the main building of the [[law school]]. He is better known for designing Avery Fisher Hall at [[Lincoln Center]] and the [[United Nations]] headquarters. While still an architecture student at Columbia, he submitted a plan for a monumental [[History of the Morningside Heights campus#The Riverside Park Stadium|Riverside Park Stadium]], which was never realised. <br />
<br />
His drawings are held in [[Avery Library]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Nightlife''' at Columbia revolves much more around the city than the university community than at most universities. This is contingent with the idea that Columbia's campus is New York City. Nevertheless, most of the nightlife is confined to area bars, as opposed to longer southerly journeys.<br />

<div></div>FrankNortonhttps://www.wikicu.com/index.php?title=Hamilton_Deli&diff=18161Hamilton Deli2007-09-27T01:59:25Z<p>FrankNorton: /* Tour de Ham Del */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Hamilton Deli''' or '''Ham Del''' is a small sandwich shop/supermarket on [[Amsterdam]] between 115th and [[116th Street|116th]] Streets. It was established in [[1991]]. Ask for the gold card and you'll get a free sandwich after 10 purchases.<br />
<br />
Ham Del has awesome sandwiches and rapid-fire service. It also has cleverly-named burgers, delicious breakfast sandwiches, overstuffed heroes, and a fresh salad bar that's better than the ones at [[Strokos]] and [[Milano Market]].<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it's often infested with law and business students.<br />
<br />
It's one of the few eateries open 24/7 during [[finals]].<br />
<br />
== ABC Special ==<br />
<br />
The '''ABC Special''' is a sandwich which is not on the menu at Hamilton Deli. To get it, you have to know what it is and ask for it specifically. It is:<br />
* Chicken salad wrapped in cheddar cheese<br />
* Optional lettuce and tomatoes<br />
* Placed between two slices of buttered toast<br />
<br />
It's fattalicious. And cheap.<br />
<br />
== Tour de Ham Del ==<br />
<br />
The '''Tour de Ham Del''' is a grueling gamut run only by the stout of heart (a gold card is also nice). To complete it, one must consume at least one of every single type of combination hero at Hamilton Deli. Do not forget the ones on the red and green signs on the side. This is 29 sandwiches in all, including the elusive Philly Chicken Steak. [[Rob Trump]] is the first person on record to complete the Tour (though it's quite possible he made it up himself).<br />

<hr />
<div>The main factor in deciding where you want to live should be the people. Otherwise, here are some factors to consider.<br />
<br />
== Room features ==<br />
* Size. Check out the floor plans of the 17 residence halls in [[:Category:Residence halls]].<br />
* Quality of lighting.<br />
* Windows, ventilation, heating, air conditioning.<br />
<br />
== Residence hall location ==<br />
* Distance to campus. [[47 Claremont]] is far away and [[Plimpton]] is very far away.<br />
* 116th and Claremont is a very windy intersection, which makes the long walk to campus from [[47 Claremont]] even more miserable in winter months.<br />
<br />
== Social life, proximity to friends ==<br />
* If you like to throw parties, you need a suite.<br />
* [[East Campus]] is probably the most social residence hall, with lots of parties.<br />
* Residence halls typically full of sophomores: [[McBain]], [[East Campus]] exclusion suites<br />
* Residence halls typically full of juniors: [[Wien]], [[Schapiro]]<br />
* Residence halls typically full of seniors: [[Hogan]], [[Broadway]], [[Watt]], [[East Campus]]<br />
<br />
== Suite/floor facilities ==<br />
* Person-to-bathroom ratio.<br />
* [[Wien]] doesn't have floor kitchens.<br />
* Dishwashers are worth having because they save you time and keep your suite's kitchen tidy. There are dishwashers in [[East Campus]], [[Broadway]] and [[Hogan]].<br />
* The hot water takes a while to heat up in the morning in some buildings like [[Schapiro]] and [[47 Claremont]].<br />
<br />
== Building facilities ==<br />
* Number and speed of elevators.<br />
* Building lounges.<br />
* Location of washing machines.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Sundial.jpg|thumb|240px|The Sundial before the sphere cracked and was removed in 1946.]]<br />
<br />
'''The Sundial''' is a fixture of campus geography, located at the center of [[College Walk]] at the opposite end of [[Butler Plaza]] from [[Butler Library]]. The sundial is a campus landmark and a popular site for readings, speeches, advocacy, and meeting up.<br />
<br />
Though only the base remains today, originally a giant granite sphere sat on the base and indicated the date of the year by the shadow it cast on the base. The sphere developed a crack in [[1946]] and was removed. It eventually disappeared from storage and recently turned up in Michigan. Efforts to return it to campus have failed.<br />
<br />
The plot of the 113th Varsity Show centered around the missing sundial ball. In the musical, the sphere was stolen in 1946, and is returned at the end of Act 1.<br />

'''Prangstgrüp''' was a group of students that staged pranks or performances, recording videos of them. The group is now inactive, but its videos have become famous on [[w:YouTube|YouTube]] and [[w:CollegeHumor|College Humor]].<br />

<br />
== Pranks/performances ==<br />
<br />
=== Powerbook Startup Sound/Noise ===<br />
This prank is set in a library. A guy turns on his Powerbook. The standard startup noise crescendoes into an entire symphony, and goes on, and on, and on. Most students look on aghast or startled. Others try to continue studying as if nothing is happening. Someone comes to the Powerbook student's aide, but no one protests. Eventually, the noise comes to an end, and everyone returns to their business.<br />
<br />
=== Reach! A Lecture Musical ===<br />
A professor is lecturing to sleepy students in [[309 Havemeyer]]. A young man (Mike Barry) stands up and interjects, "Reach!" Music starts playing, and the young man sings a song about how professors need to inspire their students. As the song continues, three other students (Kate Berthold, Patrick Young, Trey McArver) stand up and sing. They come together in the center of the classroom for the finale, before swiftly disappearing afterwards, leaving the professor and students astounded.<br />

== Pranks/performances ==<br />
<br />
=== Powerbook Startup Sound/Noise ===<br />
This prank is set in a library. A guy turns on his Powerbook. The standard startup noise crescendoes into an entire symphony, and goes on, and on, and on. Most students look on aghast or startled. Others try to continue studying as if nothing is happening. Someone comes to the Powerbook student's aide, but no one protests. Eventually, the noise comes to an end, and everyone returns to their business.<br />
<br />
=== Reach! A Lecture Musical ===<br />
A professor is lecturing to sleepy students in [[309 Havemeyer]]. A young man (Mike Barry) stands up and interjects, "Reach!" Music starts playing, and the young man sings a song about how professors need to inspire their students. As the song continues, three other students (Kate Berthold, Patrick Young, Trey McArver) stand up and sing. They come together in the center of the classroom for the finale, before swiftly disappearing afterwards, leaving the professor and students astounded.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Columbia Outdoor Orientation Program''' (COÖP) is a pre-orientation program for first year students in [[Columbia College]] and [[SEAS]]. It is geared towards those students that are interested in a non-traditional orientation program and enjoy the outdoors. The program was originally divided into two parallel programs, [[COBOP]] and [[COHOP]], one for biking and one for hiking, respectively. Several years ago, another program has been introduced, [[COROP]], for rafting/canoing. Participants of the outdoors program tend to develop an attachment to one another that lasts throughout their undergraduate experience, or at least NSOP week.<br />
<br />
COOP is much loved by current leaders, and attracts almost half of the participants each year to apply to be a leader the following year. It is wonderful way to begin your time at Columbia, get to know a group from the entering class, and get out into the woods.<br />
<br />
No amorous conduct is allowed on COOP trips. As the saying goes, "Intense, but not in our tents."<br />
<br />
== Official description ==<br />
<br />
From the COÖP mission statement[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sa/coop/main.html]:<br />
<br />
''The Columbia University Outdoor Orientation Program (COÖP) is an optional pre-orientation program for incoming first-year students entering Columbia College and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. COÖP is designed to ease the anxieties of transitioning into the college environment through a four-day outdoor camping experience. The COÖP experience is divided into three trips, biking, hiking, and river, each of which pairs a small group of first-years with several upperclassmen trip leaders. The leaders act as mentors for the first-years, ensure safety on the trip, and create a comfortable environment in which first-years can ask questions, express concerns, and get to know one another.''<br />

<div>'''Fruit Paunch''' is a student improv group, formed in [[2003]] when Six Milks and Two Left Feet merged. Annual shows include the "Formal Show" in the fall and the "24 Hour Show" in the spring. Several Fruit Paunch members are also involved in the [[Varsity Show]], [[XMAS! A Secular Spectacular!]], [[LateNite]], [[CMTS]], and [[KCST]].<br />

<br />
While Fruit Paunch was never known to rely much on their [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/fruitpaunch/ official Web site], since September, 2006, the site has contained only the text "''Someone owes me $20. -Cody''". This message was posted by [[Cody Hess]], SEAS '06, who was listed as their official webmaster and member of one other campus improv troupe, [[Klaritin]]. Not surprisingly, he claims that this was done in retribution for the group's failure to compensate him for his service as webmaster. According to members of Fruit Paunch, Cody never specified whether he wanted payment in cash or check, which is why he was not paid. A look at [[cunix]] reveals that aside from the default page <nowiki>index.html</nowiki>, all previous web files are present, intact, and owned by beloved Fruit Paunch alum (CC '07), Addison Anderson. In other words, nothing is actually stopping the group from restoring their page.<br />
<br />
In 2006, another [[Klaritin]] member, [[Alex Weinberg]] purchased [http://www.fruitpaunch.com/ fruitpaunch.com] and gave it to Addison Anderson as an act of goodwill. It is currently being developed.<br />
