I have grown up watching investigatory shows like Law and Order, House, and 24. These programs have primed me for my own inquiries here at Columbia, such as: Why does my hallway smell like teriyaki sauce?

With the occurrence of recent distasteful incidents on campus, it has come to my attention that many Americans have not been properly potty-trained.

In order for off-campus Flex to truly serve the needs of the campus, the student body must have a voice now and the administration must be open about all its dealings, pursuing businesses based on student preferences.
