Senior Spotlight: Nuriel Moghavem
To count down the remaining days of the 2011 semester, we’re rolling out a series of videos, collectively called Senior Spotlights, featuring some chill seniors. Next up is Nuriel Moghavem, co-writer of this year’s Varsity Show, former COOP leader, former Spectator Opinion blogger and columnist, and former CCSC VP Funding. He did a lot of stuff.

The rule of threes
They say that big events come in threes. 1971 brought the deaths of Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison in quick succession. My freshman year had Ahmadinejad, hate crimes, and hunger strikers. This morning I was out of milk, eggs, and beer. More »
BloggerHeads: Who would win Columbia Celebrity Deathmatch?
Today we present the sixth installment of BloggerHeads, a weekly feature in which our bloggers sit down to debate or discuss an important issue at Columbia.

My favorite intoxicant
Friends, they may have taken our Four Loko and they’ll probably even take away our dear alcoholic whipped cream. But fear not, because they’ll never take away the greatest intoxicant at our disposal: really, really poor decision-making. More »

Easy access
This is the fifth post in the series “My Bucket of Crap List.” Check back each week as Nuriel flushes out the truth on Columbia’s lavatories.
Sometimes you just have to go. And if you’re on Low Steps (or, really, anywhere in the middle of south campus) when that time comes, you’re in a bind. Though today’s weather makes it easy to forget, the steps are the best part of campus. But there is simply no convenient bathroom near them.

Shave like a man, my son
One of my life aspirations is to learn to shave like a 19th century English gentleman. This week, I took a giant leap in that direction.
I have extremely sensitive facial skin. I usually cover up the various rashes I get around my jawbone (caused usually by razor burn, a slight berry allergy and stress) by just growing out my facial hair a bit.

With this latest development in what has been a longstanding debate, this week, we asked Alexandra Katz and Nuriel Moghavem if Barnard should recognize sororities. More »
