Theme from New York, New York Lyrics by Fred Ebb Start spreadin ' the news, I ' m leaving today, I wanna be a part of it New York, New York. These vagabond shoes are longing to stray, and step around the heart of it New York, New York. I wanna wake up in the city that doesn ' t sleep to find I ' m king of the hill, top of the heap. My little town blues are melting away, I ' ll make a brand new start of it in old New York. If I can make it there, I ' d make it anywhere, it ' s up to you. New York, New York.

At Columbia University, when someone says, the steps, those on College Walk in front of Low Library immediately come to mind. Those are not the only steps here! Students use steps for getting to classes, going to dormrooms, to BHR and downtown, whether by bus or subway. Steps are not only an integral part of Morningside Heights; they are essential to Manhattan as well. Steps on this great island are a necessity in homes, public buildings and various means of transportation. Look outside, go downtown, or just think about steps in Manhattan. Cultural steps — the Metropolitan Opera House, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Culinary steps — Au Grenier, the Four Seasons, Wo Hop (located at 17 Mott Street and the many other underground restaurants in that neighborhood). Corporate steps — Rockefeller Center. Commuter steps — Times Square, the Port Authority, Grand Central Station. Cus- tomer steps — Bloomingdale ' s, Ann Taylor, Kron Chocolatier. Manhattan is a vertical city. One easily discerns such by examining the image of the Manhattan skyline. It is composed of tall buildings, all of which stairs are a part. There is a constant surge upward through these buildings. In the same way, the Barnard woman constantly strives up- wards and beyond her limitations. VANESSA BARAN Manhattan Steps 14
