In 2007, a bizarre conflict developed between the Jester, a campus humor magazine, and the Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal. In April of that year, members of CUSJ stole 700+ copies of Jester, returning them days later with a manifesto alleging that Jester "promotes scientific fallacies".
CUSJ charges Jester with a "lackluster understanding of particle physics, frequent misrepresentations of string theory, and fervent hatred toward America." After all, they assert, "who wants a lusterful understanding of particle physics?"
Jester writers contend they have a "brilliant understanding of particle physics," make frequently correct representations of string theory, and mount a "fervent defense of America against the Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal." Jester also likes to mock CUSJ for taking a 1906 piece in the Jester about the non-existence of the ether seriously.
