Rise and shine, Columbia! Today's the 50th anniversary of the UK release of the Beatles' song, 'Ticket to Ride.' Get through today by booking your own ticket to ride out of here in a month's time. Just 40 days (ish) to go until summer!

Barnard's annual Big Sub party will be tonight at 7 p.m. just inside the Barnard gates. The event, featuring a 715-ft-long sub, is going with the "Sub Zero" theme, featuring the cast of Frozen!

Barnard's largest campus organization, the McIntosh Activities Council, is departing from its old model of executive board appointments and holding elections for the first time. The list of candidates was made public at midnight on April 1 to reveal that every candidate except one is running unopposed. Voting in McAC elections is restricted to members of SGA, but all members of the Barnard community are encouraged to attend the town hall on April 7 to hear candidate platforms and ask the candidates questions. McAC has approximately 100 members and  plans Barnard spirit days, events, and traditions such as Midnight Breakfast, Big Sub, and Founders Day. Be sure to read the news brief in Tuesday's Spectator for more information on how McAC elections will affect the group's relationship with Barnard's Student Government Association and the student body.

Here's a song to help you up, à la last week's SNL musical guests: In Columbia news:
