Benjamin Apfel, CC '18, CLS '21, was one of the founding panelists of the [[Columbia Daily Spectator]] column "Discourse and Debate"--a pioneering attempt by Spec to represent the intellectual diversity of Columbia's student body. Therein, Benjamin argued for the right of professors to engage in politicized speech in the classroom, and penned a memorable defense of the virtues of the Columbia Football program. Before arriving at Columbia, Benjamin spent several years at an Ultra-Orthodox seminary in Jerusalem where he studied talmudic texts in Yiddish. Benjamin has spit bars at the Columbia hip hop society "CUSH", but was banned indefinitely due to his controversial content. Benjamin's term at Columbia was otherwise noteworthy solely for its sustained mediocrity.
