If you’re heading home via bus this Thanksgiving weekend, make an informed choice! Here, Bwog correspondents persuade you to ride DC2NY, Bolt, VamooseBus and, in an impassioned, extended defense, Fung Wah.  VamooseBus My experience with VamooseBus is a prime example of brand loyalty. When I first went to visit Columbia without my parents, my Columbia […]

As Columbians begin to trickle slowly away from Morningside Heights for the much-anticipated and well-deserved Thanksgiving Holiday, the queues at JFK, La Guardia, Penn Station, and yes even the Port Authority Bus Terminal are beginning to fill out.  In typical fashion, Bwog has asked its most experienced travelers for tips on how best to brave […]

Bwog Hollywood Bureau Chief James Downie has the scoop on the trailers currently parked around Union Theological Seminary. The trailers are for a new NBC pilot called Kings, which stars Ian McShane of Deadwood fame. The show’s story is based around that of King David — maybe the producers are brushing up on their theology […]

Oh look the weather is terrible. Bwog strongly suggests you take refuge from this hellscape that’s been parading around as “autumn” in the Lerner Piano Lounge from noon to 1 PM. There will be a jazz trio! Or if jazz isn’t you thing, there are pumpkin pies and cupcakes, plus hot apple cider and hot […]

Bwogger Liz Naiden heads down to the MoMA to inform you, eager Art Hum disciple, which new exhibitions to wait in line for and which to skip. A trip to the MoMA is the perfect substitute for counting down the milliseconds until vacation or panicking out impending finals doom. The powerful and pervasive anti-neoclassical mood of […]

Living in a thriving Democracy means having your NROTC vote stolen. Native American Columbia students, voiceless no longer.  Have you taken a gander at MARSLAC?  Sing along: “Oh, who owns New York?” Columbia on its way to discovering the cure to cancer. Catch your first glimpse of the new permanent dean of the medical school […]

Satow Room Bureau Chief Martha Turewicz attended last night’s CCSC meeting. It’s that special time of year again, and last night’s CCSC meeting was infused with some of that special holiday cheer. The meeting began, as it so often does, with President George Krebs pounding out a peppy little drumbeat on the desk. Notably absent […]

Bwog understands that staying in the ‘hood over Thanksgiving break can be a little lonely. Campus is a ghost town, and as your friends skip town droves of tourists replace them, clogging up the streets at the Thanksgiving Day Parade and talking too loudly on the subway. We also know that Thanksgiving dinner is all […]

A tech-savvy commenter speculated that after “clearing their cookies” (a term we’ll define for the computer illiterate in just a minute), voters can change their personal survey ID number to someone else’s, which in theory would mean that anyone would be able to vote multiple times.  Bwog’s on-call computer whiz kids Hans E Hyttinen and […]

On November 12, Bwog received an anonymous email with the subject line: “Exorcism on Broadway 9.” The email detailed an incident that occurred between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on October 25th, that involved several students who the sender identified as Christian Koreans — despite our attempts to reach various groups, there’s been no way […]

Guard the link to your NROTC survey with your life, as that link that was emailed to you this morning is a personalized link. What this strangely inefficient system means is that if someone clicks your link, they can change your vote. Of course, this is only coming to light after numerous students group leaders […]

Oh happy day for John Jay, Hartley and Wallach residents, who now can indulge in that most modern of luxuries: hot running water. After two days of freezing hell waters, the situation has been resolved, and students can engage in their regularly scheduled showers.  Emails of relief after the jump.

A new day, a new Fed, available on teh internetz right now! People who spend a lot of time in Butler are fun and easy to make fun of.  Aww, poor John McCain. Aww, poor Dubya. Pre-gaming: a scientific study  Some red states will always be red states.  End-of-semester-stressing? Never at the Fed!

Continuing our recent tradition of Extremely Scientific Exit Polling, we want to know: What’d you vote for on the ROTC survey?  Use the commenter name to share your school and class year, and the comment for your answer and any explanations.

You know you shouldn’t be in school right now. You should be in transit, breezing through short lines at LaGuardia or strolling through Penn Station, picking up a donut one of the city’s last remaining Krispy Kremes. Or better yet, you should be home, watching TV and making your parents do your laundry. But you […]
