On Friday, March 24th, students were free to rock old-fashioned crazes as hard as they wanted. And trust me, they rocked them pretty hard. March 24 was the day of the annual Fad Bash, and it saw everything from leg warmers to snap bracelets to “Where’s the beef?” (This last one was symbolized by the fact that no beef was present at the event, which was co-sponsored by the Columbia Vegetarian Society.)

“It was crazy, man,” said Columbia first-year Keyser Soze, “it was all like everybody just walked out of an episode of ‘I Love the 90s’ or something, except it was more like ‘I Love the 90s and 80s and 70s and All This Other Sweet-Ass Pop Culture Shit.’” Truly, some students were even spotted representing fads from very far bygone eras: a few boys were purporting to conduct phrenology surveys on several girls. If what they said is true, however, I think I have confused phrenology with breast cancer examinations.

“Damn,” Soze added.
