RagTime September 4-5, 2007: Patronizing Advice to Freshmen Part II
Brown: You will change in college. Did I st-st-stutter? - Columbia: College rankings should consider quality of life, Columbia's forte
- Cornell: More like Barack Schmo-bama! Joe Biden, now that's the ticket
- Penn: Provost encourages freshmen to "experiment and play." Aaaand wow
- Yale: Welcome to "Yale's hallowed grounds," youse illegals
And a special treat from the August 27 Columbia Spectator, as introduced by Jacob Savage: "I recently sponsored a pre-frosh writing contest for Poetic Excellence in the Field of Inane Drivel in my head. There were no contestants, but there is a winner." Envelope please: "Tread Softly, for You Tread on My Dreams."

The other funny thing is that with Mark Combs’ article, he gave an example that, at closer look, atcually implicates Joe Biden. After the YouTube debate (where he made the “it will take one year to get out of Iraq” comment, the fact checkers looked back and realized that he had pulled that information from absolutely nowhere - the “military officials,” he quoted didn’t exist, and anyone else involved in the military said there was no way to justify that data. But I guess he gets points for sounding confident while lying.

“College rankings should consider quality of life, Columbia’s forte”
AAAAAHAHHAHA!!! Every student at that school knows it’s a morbid Hellhole.

Wow, your ignorance and stupidity amazes me. The quality of life at Columbia, located in the greatest city in the world with infinite activities both on and off campus to participate in, completely overshadows the goings-on in puny, provincial Ithaca. I happen to like it a lot here, a lot more so than I would living on the frozen tundra of western New York state (well, I DO wish the sports would improve here). Care to provide reasons for your remarks?

why do cornell kids insist on calling their school CU . . . there are two CU’s in the ivy league and clearly one is the better one

another defensive columbian? what a cavalcade of insecurity. this year, the better school is clearly cornell. columbians can use ucla.

i’m pretty sure the ‘cu alum’ was a columbia alum who went to school when columbia was a hellhole. it is getting better but there are other schools that do alot more for their students in terms of community and support.

finally, a smart columbian who realized “CU” meant “Columbia University alum”. Thank you, now if only 99.9% of Columbia would catch up.
