Davisson: I like Spectator

Robinson: Sports is irrelevant; I like sports

Kamran: I hate protesters; I like sports (and shoutouts)

Erickson: I like Spectator; I read other people's email sometimes

Stup: "Gaying" is a verb

This past semester, Spec has chronicled the trials and tribulations of ups, downs and ins and outs of graduation speakers, impeachments (Was it overplayed? Are we including resignations? When will it end?), and all other news that's fit to print (and some things that are not news). Meanwhile, Bwog has diligently chronicled Spec's daily chronicle, despite sleeping in occasionally. Therefore, is it not appropriate that, in the spirit of meta, we take a stroll down memory lane and revisit the QuickSpecs of this past semester?

The semester started off with big news about the basketball team. And an entire package about cupcakes and legistation.

Heart-breaking journalism inspired an unusual fit of old-timey sentimentality from Bwog. Yes, we got back together.

IPO: Undergrad History Journal

Stock falling: Print journalism

Stock rising: Rowing

Value buy: Almost as good an investment as Haitian penny stocks.

Some things, however, never change.

Stay tuned today for a very special Bwog commemoration of the last QuickSpec of the year.

Harlem affordable housing: "The sugar on a sour pie."

On asthma: "Ninety percent of time is spent indoors."

Director: What "nobody else had was my unique view about stuff."

Columnist: "we've been doing so much, trying so much, and experiencing so much."

Reporter: "It's clear that the Obama-Wright controversy rests on race."

Director, on the best aspects of her show: "Short."

Coatsworth: once temporal, now forever.

Coatsworth: That whole Ahmadinejad thing made stuff complicated for him

Coatsworth, we're sure, has appreciated all the work you've done for the Spectator

Coatsworth has enjoyed both the Project Bluelight film and There Will Be Blood, though since Dreamgirls he's lost faith in the Oscars.

"If chance may have me king, why, chance may crown me."—Dean Coatsworth

...but Coatsworth is! He trusted you, Pinkberry.

And in non-Spec, non-Coatsworth news:

Robert Thurman weighs in on Uma's creepy stalker.

Sexism...it's in your language!

Activism...it's gone!

Racism...it's in gentrification!

Zionism...it doesn't recognize Nakba!

Spectator-ism...it sucks!?

Jarid Maged wrote a "17 page admissions essay" to get into GS, which apparently doesn't impose a word limit. (Also, the title of this column makes only weird, self-referential sense.)

The Spec is extremely comfortable cursing in print now. And, apparently, fellating the Arcade Fire. Quite literally.

Tegan and Sara... still fresh. Still cool.

Apparently Columbia should "move on" from the whole 1968 thing. An eight hundred word editorial and 40-year anniversary conference are good first steps.

Take-out food... it's delicious! Um, unless you take this article's advice and go to Milano.

What can we do to reinforce a message of freedom on this campus? How about dancing at Havana Central?

Hey, it's better than wishy-washy social justice editorializing

Or picketing alone in front of the Mayor's house

Maybe there's nothing to do but pray

But in this case, the guy should probably just sue their asses

Editorial hates on indie rock of the Spring Concert, pines for pop punk and death metal for next year

Comprehending the nature of the universe, on Long Island

New GS Student Council news, with only half the bickering!

Cheaper birth control after last year's price hikes

Iranian Nobel Laureate encourages feminism in Iran, discourages bombing Iran

"We're working on pluralism," (the role of a third candidate in plurality elections nearly always becomes that of the "spoiler.")

The University is not officially supporting the events, but will be providing free space for the events...space where students can see and actively participate in the growth of vegetables.

Random passersby were drawn into the atmosphere.

And this: the time to be most helpful to students and their parents is now.

Night ravaged by march of 500

Jousting for spots at the Harlem charter school lottery

Student groups wrassled to the ground, made to say uncle, in struggle to procure event space

Experience Columbia sweeps into power with a mandate-ish percent of the vote

And, the most enticing, surprising, exhilarating news: rezoning in Harlem! Welcome, new traffic light!

Lerner 6 being developed. No word on whether the new floor will have a Second Avenue Subway stop.

Take Back the Night: Now with men.

Floridita is slightly more doomed than usual.

Nobody talking about 1968. (OK, except this column.)

More CCSC complaints. Well, those are a little more normal.

QuickFed? QuickSpec! Featuring:

....a Juicy Campus op-ed

...a Manhattanville shout-out

...Barnard stereotypes

...an eerily accurate staff editorial

Plus bonus Fed non-fiction! (We think?)

In case you didn't hear about the vag being built on Barnard's campus...

And in case you didn't hear about former SIPA Dean Lisa Anderson moving to Egypt

Columbia was great, pre-hippies

Did you know they cut up women in Tibet for sport? Good thing China's there to keep them in line

The student body might like more info about the University Senators, but Bwog feels that would be unfair to the candidates looking for some easy, largely uncontested resume-padding.

Apparently, more "devils" upheld Niko's impeachment.

The language of the Devil is...meta!

Hopefully, that can be exorcised with some straight-edged journalism.

Poeticus Diabolus.

Hell freezes over: SEAS kids experience technical delays.
