'''Spectrum''' is the latest incarnation of the [[Columbia Daily Spectator|Spec's]] consistently abortive attempts at running a 24-hour on-campus blog.  Given the Spectator's blogs' troubled past, students normally mention the Spectrum when discussing how long it will take for it to fail.
 
  
==Bwog Smear Campaign==
 
Most people know about Spectrum because [[Speccie|Speccies]] and their friends freely (and annoyingly) advertise Spectrum on [[The Bwog]].<ref>http://bwog.net/2010/03/15/overseen-on-facebook-home-sweet-home#comment-192433</ref><ref>http://bwog.net/2010/04/02/breaking-no-40s-on-40#comment-194644</ref><ref>http://bwog.net/2010/04/24/free-food-nomnomnom#comment-199103</ref><ref>http://bwog.net/2010/04/24/free-food-nomnomnom#comment-199041</ref><ref>etc.</ref><ref>http://bwog.net/2010/04/30/baseball-team-wins-gehrig-division#comment-200104</ref>

<br>''EC Exclusion suites floors 12 and 14 apparently do not have working dishwashers or refrigerators any more and will not be replaced this summer. This is a completely unforeseen mistake by housing services, but they say that renovations were not done in time and they do not have new/refurbished appliances on the way for these 2 floors.<br>

What was said in the comment turned out not to be true.
