In this week's Casual Friday, the Editorial Board imagines a dire future for Columbia's buildings:
Nussbaum and Wu, the beloved student mecca for crisp bagels, panini, and fresh Stumptown Coffee, closed temporarily last Thursday due to 59 violation points. This has triggered a nightmarish domino effect of MoHi building closings, and as the Columbia administration scrambles to get a grip on the situation, prospectives seriously consider the downsides to a neighborhood with such questionable hygiene.
The second closing of the week was of Lerner Hall, as a leak in Ferris Booth’s fountain drink dispenser converted the ramps essentially into a slip-n-slide. While a number of student groups jumped at the opportunity to use this new development for boosting morale on campus, Public Safety announced that, “No matter how much fun the ramps might suddenly be, the quantity of orange soda that has been released prevents us from leaving the building open to the public.” The student center is scheduled to re-open next Monday.
