Fall break famine

You can almost hear the collective sigh of relief across campus as fall break draws tantalizingly nearer. We could all use a breather. A break from class. A break from waking up much too early or staying up much too late. A break from midterms—for now, anyway. But a break from food? Probably not what most of us have in mind.

Nevertheless, the people who stay on campus will be getting one. Columbia's dining halls will not be open during fall break: John Jay closes at 8 p.m. on Thursday and Ferris shuts its doors after 3 p.m. on Friday. And you can drink your fill of shamrock shakes at JJ's Place until 1 a.m. on Friday, but after that you're on your own.
