What you missed last week

In case you’ve been too busy studying or whatever

A campus queen told us all about her teen novel worthy life, campus-wide protests and peace rallies rocked the rest of the country along with our own Morningside home and some basketball players pissed plenty of people off.

We also went to Koronet on a Saturday night and wrote about it. Everyone was drunk. Everyone.

Just a handful of things which happened at Columbia this week.

On Veteran’s Day, we honored all those who served along with the hundreds of our fellow student veterans.

Serena Marron spoke and opened up

The socialite sat down with The Tab and told us all about her crazy and out-of-a-teenage novel life.

Who knew the life of a New Yorker could be so glamorous (besides everyone?)

There was not one, but TWO protests

This week may very well go down as the most politically active week among college students and on college campuses in 2015.

Columbians protested changes in the rules of conduct which made it possible for students to be denied hearings.

More nationally relatable, events in Mizzou and Yale launched a wave of blackouts across dozens of campuses across the country.

People of color and their allies rallied in support of addressing structural racism in academia and beyond.

We documented a drunk Saturday night at Koronet

Koronet is the weekend half-way home: a sanctuary for the drifters slowly floating from one bar to the next on a typical Friday or Saturday night.

One of our reporters spent an hour and a half at the preposterous pizzeria recording his observations and the ridiculous things he overheard at midnight on a Saturday.

People opened up and shared their embarrassing AIM screennames

Before the advent of social media, before privacy seemed like a sad, limp joke, AIM was the hip messenger the teens and tweens used to gossip and chill virtually.

Some were alright, others were downright hilarious.

Basketball mania resulted in more than a little bit of controversy

One would think on a campus as tense around issues of political correctness and sensitivity as ours students would avoid anything remotely controversial.

Well, not our girl’s basketball team.

Sticking basketballs into their shorts and twerking during bball mania, three basketball players sparked yet another conversation centered on cultural appropriation and racial insensitivity.

Till next week.
