Unfortunately you won’t be able to see him walking a tightrope up in the sky today, but if you’re interested you will have a chance to meet stuntster and artist Philippe Petit tonight at St. John the Divine. Petit is most famous for his tightrope walks between the towering tips of skyscrapers in the city. […]

Last night’s ESC meeting was predictably punctured with nervous fidgeting and intense, meaningful stares between candidates in the current election. Bwog’s Specialist in Celebrity Nervous Breakdowns Sean Zimmermann has the scoop on what they discussed through killer tension headaches.  First order of business – elections have started! Of course everyone knows that, but tell your […]

SEAS’ student governing body presents yet another opportunity to savor Dunkin’ in all its glory today from 12-2 PM. This is your last opportunity to chill out with the totally laid back candidates in the ESC elections, which are currently underway. Find the coffee, donuts, and hopefuls in Mudd Lobby. And vote here, before the […]

Rise and shine! Wouldn’t want to miss your General Selection appointment time (you lucky, lucky bastards). If you are lucky enough to have an appointment this morning, or you want to use your super powers to keep your room from being taken by staring at it, you can log into the General Selection Portal here. […]

Statistics show that people who watch The Office do better in life. Bloomberg’s ouija board decides the fate of the public schools. What do you mean there’s no way to find out? I want to know exactly how sexy the country’s first belly dancer was. Now.  Plus, the mystical powers of upper Amsterdam revealed!  

The new issue of the Columbia Political Review is out! Read it online, download it as a PDF, or hunt for a print copy in the wilds of Lerner, if you’re into that sort of thing. Authors with political agendas aim for children’s hearts, minds, and future campaign donations.  If internal conflict and foreign invasion […]

The best thing about College Days is the big wave of school spirit on campus. But the best thing about the big wave of school spirit is free food. Tonight at 8:00 in Roone Arledge, CCSC brings you Comedy Night, featuring John Mulaney, who has graced “Best Week Ever,” “Important Things with Demetri Martin,” and […]

The April issue of the Blue and White is now on a newsstand or under a dorm room door near you! If you can’t get out to pick one up now, here is another preview: contributor Sam Schube enlists in the men’s rugby team. “Do not drop the fucking ball!” yelled coach Sean Horan. “That […]

The perennially generous Oren’s Daily Roast does it again! Or rather, will do it again, in about an hour. Between 4:00 and 7:00, pick up a free 12-ounce coffee at Morningside Heights’ favorite alternative to Starbucks (besides the Hungarian Pastry Shop and every single on-campus establishment that accepts Flex). Oren’s is calling it a “tax […]

A roving gang of mustachioed bandits invaded campus yesterday. Before they were chased off by the NYPD Special Trimming Squad, though, they got a very special photo op.  Salvador Dalí would be so proud.

Bwog Eager Inquisitor Chloe Eichler reports from Monday night’s CCSC Town Hall. Last night, the CCSC asked to hear from you at its Town Hall meeting. And you told it to quit bothering you: you were going downtown to a bar. The overwhelming theme was school solidarity, or lack thereof. In quick succession, students ticked […]

Normally when someone passes out on Glenn Beck’s show, it’s just some kicky metaphoric role-play commenting on the day’s news. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case yesterday, when Teachers College professor David Buckner fainted on air while discussing the economy on Beck’s Fox News show. In the middle of recounting America’s economic “path to destruction,” Buckner […]

Ollie’s is all right, but any dish at Vine will be seasoned with your bitter liberal guilt. Besides joblessness and hopelessness, the recession will also cause more violence against women. Maybe that’s why we’re all in therapy. Because television shows that air on actual televisions take too long. That’s right. Not PlayStation, and definitely not […]

Today, the wild world of off-campus Flex throws us another curveball: D’Agostino will accept your Flex dollars! D’Agostino, also known as that supermarket next to Westside on 110th and Broadway, will begin taking Flex in mid-May, conveninently enough when we’ll all be home, not using Flex. 

Much of last night’s CCSC meeting split two ways was concerned with the CCSC Town Hall and College Days, with George Krebs and Robyn Burgess reminding the council members to come out. Actual news was little in evidence, with one exception: VP for Policy Adil Ahmed, CC 2010 President AJ Pasuca, and CC 2010 VP […]
