Just because you have homework doesn’t mean the TV watching has to stop — really 12s, it’s true! Rob Trump’s weekly web series fun continues with Mark Erickson’s Infinite Solutions. Well, my original plan for the first week of school was, having done Jake and Amir, to quickly knock off a review of the other […]

In case you didn’t get the e-mail.

Not only is Hamilton Terrace relatively nearby, but just about every blog in the city has also posted this PSA.  

Current-founder Bari Weiss, CC ’07, writes in the (possibly ill-fated) New York Sun today about the 19 incoming Columbia GS first-years who had previously served in the Armed Forces. (According to Weiss, GS was created in 1947 partly as a response to the high number of ex-soldiers returning from WWII.) Weiss spoke to a number […]

You still have an hour and a half left in the activities fair! Hurry up before all the snacks run out (SGB is still serving samoosas and chicken wings, for those out to ruin their diets). Feel free to refer to the following extremely approximate cartogram for locations, and see highlights after the jump.

According to the Columbia homepage, those of you who’ve been sitting around trying to register for one of 200 available lottery seats to the Obama-McCain event will have until noon tomorrow to sit around some more. Best of luck!

While the Obama-McCain registration page appears to be broken at this time–most likely overwhelmed by all of you constantly refreshing the page–the unchanging black-and-blue interface of Columbia College has undergone a makeover. Here’s hoping it’s more navigable than the last. 

Bwog hauled herself out of bed at an ungodly hour this morning to lie in wait for PrezBo as he ran, preceded by two Amazonian bodyguards, in the midst of hundreds all looking around for their leader. It looks like he may have had as rough a night as anyone there. More photos after the […]

Political clubs pay attention to politics! Lauren Salz…she’s everywhere!  The Hawkmadinejads will take care of this JShap rides off into the sunset to bright new career as a lounge singer Political science becomes even less of a real field

Last night (tonight?)  at the intersection of Broadway and West End, friends of the Kitchen Cabinet, Raul, and the Ceiling packed into a room scarcely larger than a Carman double to witness an unlikely succession of bluegrass and rock that satisfied every taste and craving. Perched on a table, Bwog tapped her toe to the […]

It’s a phenomenon almost as annoying as having to re-enter your SSOL password when you leave it alone for more than 3 minutes: rising prices at campus eateries. So far, Bwog tipsters and staff have seen price hikes at many campus eateries. Offenders include Ferris Booth, which, in addition to replacing the popular stir fry […]

How to lose friends and alienate people Oh Sarah Palin, is there anything to which you are not tangentially relevant? The first of a two-part series on truck-based dessert foods. Reading doesn’t count unless someone sees you doing it. Why try to forget about all the fun stuff you missed out on when you could […]

It’s Activities Day time! Today and for the next several weeks, Columbia’s panoply of clubs, societies, associations, teams, groups, organizations, and alliances will compete for your attention and allegiance. Explore and ask questions, but beware the listserv: you’ll spend the next four years trying to get off. We’ve done a bit of the legwork for […]

While the campus prepares for the visit of the two presidential candidates, students have already gotten started on the fall election. the College Democrats, MSA, and Free Culture are co-sponsoring a campus-wide voter registration initiative, modeled on the popular CUAssassins game that every year afflicts students with amusingly high levels of paranoia. Teams of students […]

Don’t fret, readers: you now have a chance to get tickets for the McCain – Obama forum! In an email sent just before noon, President Bollinger officially announced the details for the event and ticket process behind it.
