Hey Homies,

Class t-shirts are in and they rock! Much thanks and congratulation goes to our designer and my homegirl, Stephanie Shieh. Scheduling permitting, we will be offering the t-shirts tomorrow for $5 a piece in the Lerner Box Office between 1 and 3pm.

Also, we have an awesome nutrition workshop coming up tomorrow which I’m sure you have all seen fliers for. It will feature a brief talk by a nutritionist on how to stay healthy at Columbia followed by a communal cooking lesson and free dinner. Details are below. It will be at 6 pm in the Lerner Kitchen (there will be signs). We will also be offering t-shirts there for those who are interested.

Also, I am trying to collect reports about people’s experiences with advising (pre-professional, scholarship and fellowship, FYSAAC, major, etc.) If you have had any comments, complaints or experiences (good or bad) that you feel you would like addressed, please send me a brief write-up of them so that I can take your concerns to administrators.

Finally, I am looking for suggestions as to what people would like to see for Glass House Rocks on the 2nd (i.e. main) floor of Lerner. Please reply with any thoughts.

In news of the future: we have a study break coming back the Sunday after we come back (details to follow next week). Neda Navab, the very awesome VP of the class, is putting together an email mailing list called Ned's dates enlightening those who sign up of cool things to do around the city. Information on how to sign up is below (or visit http://groups.google.com/group/Neds-Dates).

Anyways, Happy Turkey Day. In honor of the holiday, I’m including the Bad Joke of the Week up top for this weekend only. This one comes straight out of the mouth of Columbia student Nat Gale:

Q: Why couldn’t the turkey eat any more on Thanksgiving?

A: Because he was stuffed.

Oh well. He’s SEAS.

To good travels, good eating and CC 2008,

Isaac Silverman

When: Sunday, November 20th from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Bill Condon explores the life of the pioneer of human sexuality research, Alfred Kinsey (Liam Neeson). Spanning six decades from his childhood in the early 1900s to his death in 1956, the film turns the microscope on the man whose landmark studies on the sexual behaviors of the common man rocked a nation.
