Attention, Tinsley Mortimer: Your Frat Is Looking For You

In the constellation of collegiate societies—fraternities, sororities, eating clubs, finals clubs, and the like—few are more exclusive, and WASPy, as St. Anthony Hall, or St. A's as it is commonly known. Founded at Columbia University in 1847, today the organization has merely nine chapters, six of which are co-ed and three of which are all-male. At the university we attended, the St. A's chapter house was an imposing Tudor brick presence in the center of campus, with leaded-glass windows, a large side yard, and a stoop where the blond members would sit outside on nice days, drinking beer out of plastic cups. (They were still a frat, after all.) So perhaps it's not surprising that Tinsley Mortimer would've been a member. more »

The Teaches Of 'N+1'

It's been a while since we've heard about the Columbia class on political writing to be taught by the editors of n+1, which is the most important literary journal of our time. Now we've gotten our hands on the class description—and it turns out that Ben Kunkel and Co. will be teaching from... the magazine that they edit! (Or should we say, the magazine they write and don't edit. At all.) more »

Columbia Kids Get Extra Credit For Tawdry Electroclash Videos


Even English majors have to take science at Columbia! Some sort of core curriculum thing, we assume. But English majors these days also know how to use video cameras, and how to, we think they say, "drop rhymes." Nice credit if you can get it. more »

Columbia Gals Learn Art Of Man-Catching

The other evening, the sisters of Columbia's Sigma Delta Tau sorority gathered to hear a speaker who could figure very prominently in their futures: matchmaker Janis Spindel, of Janis Spindel Serious Matchmaking and 365 Proven Ways to Find Love in Less Than a Year. Why, did the lovely ladies need some help learning how to attract the fine male specimens of Columbia University? Yes, it turns out! more »

    Matthew Fox Not, Like, Smart Enuf For Columbia

    Past Class Day pre-commencement speakers up at Columbia University make up a fairly fancy gang, one that includes George Stephanopoulos, playwright Tony Kushner, and last year's much-protested choice, John McCain. But never before has the student body been quite so totally pissed over the choice of Class Day speaker as they are now. What, Lost star Matthew Fox isn't good enough for you children? more »

    Right-Wing Hero Has Porn Past, Claim Gays

    sanchez-coulter.jpgMatt Sanchez, a 36-year-old Columbia student and Marine Corps reservist, has been appearing on all sorts of conservative talk shows like the O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes, whining about being mocked for military service by those lefties up at Columbia. And then Sanchez was feted at the CPAC conference— the one where Ann Coulter made her "faggot" remark. That must have been a weird experience, since all the gays have now fingered him as a former gay porn star. (Well, we told you Ann was a huge fag hag!) more »

    How to Get an Internship, Columbia-Style

    Today's Columbia Spectator offers some helpful insights into how to go about getting a coveted internship. One article, by a student who seems to have been hanging around campus forever, kind of like Eric Stoltz in Beautiful Girls Kicking and Screaming, laments the lameness of his internship experiences, particularly one at Time Asia:
    Take my "prestigious" Time Asia editorial internship. This was during the summer of 2001, and I only got the job because my dad works there. Now if a summer in Hong Kong sounds appealing to you, think again. I was living on a houseboat during typhoon season, and the only way I could afford to eat was by running up my dad's tab at the yacht club on shore.
    Also, shockingly, when he hit his editor up for a job a couple years later, "all he could remember about me was-'ah yes, James, you had some spectacular moments of drunkenness as I recall.'" more »

    'Columbia Spectator' Keeps Target Audience in Mind

    As you've undoubtedly heard, the New York City Council is trying to crack down on underage drinking in the wake of the death of 18-year-old Jennifer Moore, who was killed after a night of imbibing at Chelsea club Guest House. But the Columbia Spectator editorial board isn't having it--if Columbia students want to drink, they WILL DRINK, goddammit. more »
