Gimme Shelter
Due to Manhattan's exorbitant rents and arcane rental policies, students compelled to locate off-campus housing often find themselves far from Morningside Heights and less connected to social and academic goings-on on campus. Long round-trip commutes from Brooklyn, Queens, or other areas where housing is more affordable discourage some students from engaging in extracurricular activities or otherwise contributing to campus life. Other students have fewer feasible options when the University denies them housing and resort to illegal and dangerous housing arrangements, such as living in Butler Library or packing three or four students into a dorm room intended for one. Columbia should provide more housing for older full-time students by earmarking space in the planned Manhattanville campus for a GS-only dorm or by arranging a system with Columbia-owned apartment buildings.

Vuze executive Gilles BianRosa whose company filed one of the two FCC complaints against Comcast reportedly told the FCC yesterday that BitTorrent does not hog bandwidth. Since most Internet experts would dispute that claim, I generated the following hard data on the bandwidth consumption of various applications that run on the Internet. Note: Richard Bennett who was an expert panelist at yesterday's hearings informed me that BianRosa claimed that BitTorrent didn't exceed the contracted limit.
