The temperature's dropping and we're all looking for someone with whom we can hibernate. Winter is cold, man! Soon, "Netflix and chill" will be "Netflix and warm your feet near my roasty Ruggles radiator." But it's not just students that need love. The Columbia statues—glorious feats of architecture and also good friends of the Spectrum staffers—are all a little lonely. And what's one to domwith loneliness in the modern age? Make a Tinder profile, obviously.

Eric Foner, Columbia history professor and general all-around cool cat, declared his admiration for Bernie Sanders in an opinion editorial published by "The Nation" this afternoon.

Senior night: it's finally here. You've waited for three long years to finally enter the hallowed grounds of West End/Havana Central/Bernheim. There's lore about this night—you'll drink the night away, according to the 121st Varsity Show. You'll meet a handsome stranger, also a senior. You'll wear a ballgown, you'll find a tray of pizza, you'll finally learn why the calculations had to be performed on the back of an envelope—the expectations are high.

The tragic fate of many a Columbia student is that Manhattan and its accompaniments (oftentimes referred to as 'New York City'), is left unexplored. What with cheese fries from the Hamilton Deli and a bar as refutable as 1020, where else would we need go? All we need is right here, in our Morningside hidey-hole. The difficulty, then, and the task we give you this weekend, is to leave the nest. Come down from the tree. Break a concrete ceiling. GO TO ANOTHER BOROUGH.
