j-school gradsCongratulations, CC grads: you forked over $11.8 million for the Columbia College Fund this year. That's more than any year yet, according to an e-mail sent to '07ers yesterday.

It didn't take tipsters long to point out the Fund's fumble. The thank you e-mail sent to donors included this photo from Commencement 2007. Oops.

Full text of the lovely message to "all 11,501" J-school (er... CC) donors after the jump.

Why You Shouldn't Declare A Major At All
Major Declaration time is here! And earlier this week, the B&W posted its first ever "Disillusioned Majors Guide," advising students to avoid History, Classics, Comp. Lit, and nearly everything else. There is only one proper recourse for the liberal arts major: don't major in anything. At all. (Note: This was not included in the upcoming March issue. It is an online EXCLUSIVE!)

For those who just can't decide what to declare, or don't enjoy, ummm, too much learning, consider a concentration. Just a concentration. You should be able finish up the requirements for something in the next couple of years.

What will you lose by not majoring? Nothing. Concentration is a minor on steroids. You usually need to take nine classes in your field, at most. You also get the mythic liberal arts education. May your schooling range wide and far, and not get artificially pigeonholed into a restricting discipline!
