This Blaaag'er here just did a nine-hour late night shift at the tents.

More pics up soon... but here is some other news.

1. We are hosting an speaker on Saturday - Mayor Jun H. Choi of Edison, NJ will speak in a lecture titled, "Campaign Management & Political Advocacy: Preparing for the 2008 Elections". We are partnering for this event with Columbia's Korean Students Association as well as our law school's Asian Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA). Do join us - Lerner Cinema, 11:30am - 1:30pm. As one of the first and only Asian American mayors in the United States, his lecture will no doubt be an informative one.

2. Intercultural Benefit Dinner! Talk about a classy affair... The Chinese Students Club is putting on this semi-formal event bringing together foods of different cultures to benefit Action Against Hunger. Check it out: Lerner C555, Saturday 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

3. Diwali Celebration by the Hindu Students Organization and Ahimsa! I just get really excited about this every year. Celebrate the festival of lights this Saturday from 8:00pm to 10:00pm in Roone Arledge Auditorium. RSVP at CUDiwali@gmail.com and bring the suggested $3-5 donation for Engineers Without Borders!
