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?

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.
