If you were not aware, Passover 5769 (double take? gentiles should read that “Passover 2009”) will begin at precisely 7:28 PM tonight, and will run until next Wednesday the 15th.

If you don’t, he will hold you up at gunpoint in front of Morton one of these days.  Of course art won’t scandalize the average fallen Wall Streeter. Take him to Hooters if you really want to offend his conservative values.  College Dems stick it to a secretary in Albany who has no idea what […]

 – Anonymous photo of the CC ’10 presidential candidates in friendlier days (aka “last week”) The 2010 Class Council hopefuls gathered in cramped Lerner 568 to wade through students’ favorite topics this evening.  Guessing, perhaps, that there would be little new and exciting to hear, there were not more than ten people in the audience, […]

But the Senior Fund Committee apparently is. In their latest fundraising prayer request, the Fundraisers have decided to invoke a little Yale hatred to get those cheap holdouts amongst the 09ers opening their wallets. “Yale’s Class of 2009 already hit 86% Senior Fund participation,” they inform readers, “are you really going to let New Haven […]

The weekly ESC meeting never fails to provide all sorts of drama. Bwog’s Drama Junkie Sean Zimmermann was on hand last night to lap it up.

Here’s your chance to make up for it, with the bonus pleasure of looking at some fancy student artwork hanging the walls. And the overall […]

Hey, ’09! Don’t forget that today (as in “right now”), your new and improved 40s on 40 will be on the steps. It’s called “Senior Playpen,” a subtle way of reminding you that Columbia still thinks you’re eight years old. So go celebrate your last few weeks of being a quasi-child by getting crazy in what is literally a […]

Oh Housing LiveBlog, we hardly knew ye. If only there were a few more days worth of sophomores, a few of them would end up living in the basement of a frat, which would be funny. Instead on this final day we track the difficult decisions ahead for the dregs of 2012 – McBain or […]

SIPA just needs some time alone with its sister departments, okay? God, you’re pushy. CC promises its budget cuts won’t affect financial aid. This is to make up for all the flashers and thieves Public Safety isn’t telling you about. We are scarily addicted to coffee, you guys. Come on in, alumni, we just want […]
