Winner of a bronze medal at the 2002 Olympics, figure skater Timothy Goebel, 25, (the first American to land a quadruple jump in competition, and the first skater in the world to land a quadruple salchow) is enrolling at GS this Fall. Now that he's broken all the records, Goebel will strip off the flashy spandex to don a tailored suit. He plans to major in finance and pursue a career in investment banking.
At least he realized his childhood dream before selling out.
In other news, Columbia researchers have been paid close to $17 million to research arsenic.
And there's a nasty squabble brewing at the J-school. Two editors quit managing a website associated with the Columbia Journalism Review after funding was cut in half to give more money to the print mag. New media proponents are outraged.
Thanks to Prem Mittal for the tips.

Never underestimate the power of disgruntled losers. First, members of New GS Order--the party that went down to more benignly-named Serious Goals, Great Solutions in last month's GSSC elections--formed the Non-Traditional Student Action Coalition, and just today hit the web with a GSLounge, a site intended to foster GS community. And they've been advertising on www.collegeconfidential.com, where the CC vs. GS debate takes up eight pages. Finally, there's the vaguely apocalyptic message posted on GSLounge's facebook group wall.

Does anyone else think it's kind of odd that Barnard and GS should go through designated entrances for South Beach on South Lawn? Said one student council member manning the GS table for the event: "Our only instructions were that they not bring in their children."
We can only presume that College students are served champagne with their canapes while the rest drink Coors light.

What's the theme of this year's GS Spring Formal?
"50 Years in One Night...1900-1950."
Spectacular. As if the phrase "50 Years in One Night" weren't funny enough in connection with my fellow GSmates, they manage to pick, of all the possible 50 year spans of time, the one most likely to inspire stories that begin, "Well, you kids may think you're something, but when I was in one or both of the Great Wars..."

Praying with Lior an engrossing, wrenching and tender documentary introduces Lior Liebling, also called "the little rebbe." Lior has Down syndrome, and has spent his entire life praying with utter abandon. Is he a "spiritual genius" as many around him say? Or simply the vessel that contains everyone's unfulfilled wishes and expectations? Lior - whose name means "my light" - lost his mother at age six, and her words and spirit hover over the film. While everyone agrees Lior is closer to God, he's also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration, and an embarrassment, depending on which family member is speaking. As Lior approaches Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony different characters provides a window into life spent "praying with Lior."
Directed by Ilana Trachtman│Documentary│87-minutes
