Just seconds ago at the ‘Stend—amidst a crowd that at 10:30 PM consisted of a dozen people awkwardly milling about, but soon increased to several dozen—2008’s Columbia College Class Day speaker was announced. Joel Klein, CC ’67, is the Chancellor of the NYC Department of Education and by the looks of it, quite obviously the […]
Mad nostalgia for the mid-90s is standard by now, and unsurprisingly many Bwoggers have devolved back to their 9-year-old selves, reveling in the joys of Nintendo 64 and Mario Kart in particular. Though our early Karting experience was largely a tale of character-building losses to nimbler-fingered cousins, we have trained a bit among ourselves and […]
The Pulitzer Prize-winning, Kennedy School of Government scholar Samantha Power graced the halls of Columbia’s Law School last night for a discussion with Columbia Journalism professor Bill Berkeley. Power demonstrated the poise and careful articulation of words for which she has typically been known (the recent “monstergate” debacle notwithstanding), and she expressed the hope that […]
At 10:30PM tonight, at Havana Central at the West End, the bigwigs of the Class of 2008 will announce the seniors’ Class Day Speaker. Last year, Ben Stein, CC’66, reportedly demanded a large cash sum, Barack Obama, CC’83, seemingly blew us off, and we ended up with Lost star Matthew Fox, CC’89, a controversial choice […]
This just in: Colin Drummond’s CC ’09 Campaign will use 10% fewer posters after promising a poster-less campaign. This is coming after Mark Johnson, current CC ’09 Vice President, submitted a rules violation due to early publication of this website. The Elections Board felt that the violation was “not malicious, intentional, or fundamentally unfair,” so […]
This week’s Newsweek cover story is a piece on Barack Obama, CC ’83. Usually reticent to discuss his years at Alma Mater, Obama talks about his reasoning for transferring from Occidental College to Columbia, “By the end of that year at Occidental, I think I was starting to work it through, and I think part […]
Last night, concerned citizen/tipster Karen Kwan alerted Bwog that Barnard students had once again received an email advertising free pizza. Only this time, it was to inform them that their free pizza party had moved locations. Instead of the Domino’s on 125th, the free, medium, one-topping pies had migrated south to Famiglia Pizzeria. “LOCATION CHANGE” […]
The March issue of the Blue and White has hopefully come to a dorm or class building near you. It’s also here in cyberspace—some highlights: Katie Reedy unravels the intricacies of Columbia’s MEALAC department A group of outer-borough parents gives their kids an invaluable leg-up in the world of warehouse parties One daring B&W correspondent […]
A conspicuously absent Samantha “Powers” piece (see right) …followed by a full article about Samantha Power. Perhaps Powers and Power are the same person? Even more catching up with Kali, the Subway Hero Rejoice! Real vendors now accepting fake money That One Time Rod Stewart Didn’t Suck: A Retrospective Contrary to scientific evidence, less money […]
Now that Columbia’s Manhattanville expansion plans have been approved by the city, the topic has largely disappeared from most students’ minds. But for those who’ve checked out since late December, the plans are entering a new phase. Specifically, the What-Are-We-Going-to-Put-There phase. Tonight, at the CCSC’s Committee on Manhattanville Expansion’s panel on the subject, several professors […]
Today we saw our share of CCSC election controversy, but the E-board race has not been stirred too much. Now that policy can be discussed, however, more substance has emerged from the Krebs and Damooei camps. Damooei seems to have taken the lead in the multimedia department, already having released five videos on Youtube. Expect […]
We now invite you to leave the relative comforts of Nussbaum and venture northwest to Claremont in our continuing housing series. Also, don’t forget online registration ends in three hours! A few blocks northwest of the hustle and bustle of midtown Columbia is a calm oasis for the students who call it home. Cozy and […]
Columbia College, never one to be outdone by Domino’s Pizza, is going to be throwing a free pizza party too. Only this time, the pizza will not be won over without a fight. In order to receive the cheesy treat, one must participate in a hour and a half long focus group geared toward improving […]
Some of you may have noticed the site was down for the last couple of hours. Apparently the downtime was due to something vague and apparently troublesome occurring with our sever. But we’re here to assure you that we’re back and we apologize for the inconvenience. And not only that, we come bearing good news! […]
Fu Foundation Bureau Chief Tony Gong stayed up all hours to report on the biggest night of the ESC calendar year, with the possible exception of Mole Day. After seven grueling hours, twelve speeches, and far too many handfuls of complimentary grapes and cheese, ESC finally finished up electing next year’s Executive Board last […]
