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 […]

Today marks the start of College Days, a week-long celebration of all that is Columbia spirit and pride, in which we are all united in our collective love for free things. The feature-film related theme of the week is “Admit One”, which strikes us as a bizarrely exclusive title. Regardless, there’s a wealth of free […]

We haven’t heard from our favorite 209-haunting uber-dashing favorite grad student in a while. This week, James Franco resurfaced in New York Magazine in a feature about New Yorkers old and new. Franco discusses the joys of riding the subway and being able to actually read in transit instead of listening to audiobooks on the […]

Even if the Executive Board was chosen by internal machinations, SEAS students can still have some choice in the rest of their representatives by voting in ESC elections. The (electronic) polls are open until Wednesday at 6 p.m, and the various candidates’ speeches are on YouTube.

A week after the advent of Love at CU, Columbia has been transformed from sexless wasteland to a regular college. A new edition of the C-Spot is out just in time: Now that you’re in the relationship of your dreams, learn how to, you know, do stuff with your significant other. Some gems from this month: […]
