This event is only open to Columbia students, faculty, and staff.
While this event may go off without a hitch, I assume that the Bake Sale will be shut down either directly by the administration or due to a security threat. Either way, President Lee Bollinger will be held accountable.
For purposes of security, I am bringing a tape recorder and camera to the event.

I hope that I can count on the help of other Freepers when the excrement hits the fan.

May I recommend that almond cookies and bhaklava be placed on the list of items to be sold?

Perhaps, you can auction particular desserts to the highest bidder. Subsidies can be provided for under bid items.

good luck bump.

GS 86'. woa I'm so glad to be away from that campus.

[AppyPappy]

I'm really bored with this whole bake sale thing.

[justshutupandtakeit]

You wouldn't be bored if you had to face down a pack of howling leftists and race baiters.

[AppyPappy]

Done that before when I was working for Jesse Helms on a college campus. After a while, you recognize the ignorance of the masses.

[justshutupandtakeit]

It is staggering.

[shhrubbery!]

I'm not bored with bake sales and think this is an excellent tactic.

Yes, the shrieking mob is ignorant and intolerant, but who knows, you might plant the seeds of doubt in some -- doubt of the beneficence of group-think authoritarian Leftism.

Sorry I don't go into NYC anymore or I would be there with you.

[Interesting Times]

Bringing a tape recorder and camera is an excellent idea.

Leftists get testy when their hypocrisy is waved around in public, and feel mean-spirited urges to silence or injure those who have embarrassed them.

Best of luck, and we'll look forward to your after-action report.

I'm really bored with this whole bake sale thing.

Well, try to live with it as best you can.

[rmlew]

The idea is dated, but it works.
1. Columbia refuses to publish the racial and religious statistics for the university. It also refuses to release the admission standards.
2. The new president of the university is LEE BOLLINGER. He was the defendant in the Gratz and Grutter cases as the former president of UMich.

Ron.
PS. I gotta go pick up some brownies!

[Nea Wood]

Good luck! If you know somebody who can bring a video camera, that would be even better.

[Sloth]

For purposes of security, I am bringing a tape recorder and camera to the event.

Very good idea.

[moneyrunner]

You need 2 cameras. One to record the event. A second (out of sight) to record the primary camera operator as the Left tries to destroy the evidence.

[Ohioan]

Good luck and God speed! There are probably few campuses which need a little Conservative humor more.

Any update on the sale?

[rmlew]

I thought an after action report would be appropriate.
The event went surprisingly well. Despite being situated between a "Defend Affirmative Action" table run by the International Socialist Organization (Trotskyites) and a "End the Death Penalty" table, the response was mostly civil. We didn't sell much, but we had a lot of people come by.
We got covereage from the NY Sun, CU Daly Spectator, and some journalism school students.

I'll post pictures later.

[Ziva]

Always glad to see another bake sale. If someone here is bored with it, I can assure them that it is new and novel to the student body of each school it is tried.

[Interesting Times]

I'm guessing the socialist probably didn't buy any cookies...

Thanks for the update.
