Learned Foote tells Bwog that there’s free Koronet slices and hot wings in John Jay lounge, for exam-takers and slackers alike. The handouts start at 4:30, courtesy of CCSC. We’re told there’s soda. (This event was originally scheduled for the EC plaza, but has since relocated.) Go forth and devour!

From the deepest corner of our hearts, Bwog wishes underclassmen the best of luck on today’s Lit Hum and CC exams. We’d wrap this post up with a classical reference, but Bwog is being edited by an engineer today, so we’ll just allude to the Wretched of the Earth with a dash of übermenschen and […]

In which Bwog Daily Editor Zach van Schouwen gives in to the demands of anonymous commenters and buys a plastic bag full of curry powder. In a previous edition of Cooking with Bwog, our high esteem for fried okra was called into question by a number of advocates of bhindi. Bhindi is the Hindi word […]

Bwogger and hawk fan Anna Corke lost her Lerner mail key yesterday – which wouldn’t be that big of a deal if the keychains attached to it weren’t of personal value. One keychain is a surf board with the Brazilian flag on it (from Florianopolis, Brazil) and the other is a beaded Resplendent Quetzal (from San […]

Davisson: I like Spectator Robinson: Sports is irrelevant; I like sports Kamran: I hate protesters; I like sports (and shoutouts) Erickson: I like Spectator; I read other people’s email sometimes Stup: “Gaying” is a verb

  It was just 11:35 PM when studiers started drifting into Butler 209 and perching themselves on ledges and chairs. 209ers, futility be damned, started Shh-ing the newcomers. One such 209er was one-half of Chromeo (the half that attends Columbia), though he soon made a quick exit. At midnight exactly, the spirited Columbia University Marching […]

Bwog’s favorite publication, the Spectator‘s poetry-and-photography spin-off, 116, is baaack! In case you haven’t had enough of the “not quickspec” tag today, here are some more links to click. Look at these people, they are hip! And look at the things they do with their fancy cameras! – Thing 1 – Thing 2 – Thing […]

Because we know how cramped and claustrophobic Butler is at the moment, Bwog would like to remind you that the lovely, large, (basically empty) classrooms in Hamilton are open and available and yours for the taking.  In fact, Bwog is sitting in a Hamilton classroom right now and the blackboard is filled with notes from […]

Bwog has been readying a list of procrastination tips, but an ambitious group of SEAS students has outdone every activity we Bwoggers suggested. James Williams reports that just outside of Butler stands–yes–a frisbee-throwing machine. And daily editor Justin Vlasits overheard a poetic passerby mutter “and my heart is like a frisbee flying onto the lawn.” […]

Yesterday, Daily Editor Pierce Stanley decided to sacrifice a day’s work on a ten page paper in order to bring you this report on yesterday’s academic affairs. He hopes you, and a sympathetic professor, will appreciate his efforts. While most Columbia students were holed up all day in Butler yesterday in preparation for exams, academic […]

Join Bwog this morning in welcoming a new publication to the Quick process. The Columbia East Asia Review prints scholarly articles by undergrads on a myriad of East Asian topics. There’s something for every Columbia type! The kid who watches the NBA playoffs while you try to study! The human rights crusader meddling in foreign […]

Spectator’s done but the rest of the world keeps spinning, so Bwog brings you links to Columbia related news. Today is unusually dry, so there will be a special emphasis on links to blogs, things only tangentially related to Columbia, and stories that have already been covered to death (no need to tip us on […]

Name, School: Reim Salaheldin Atabani, BC Claim to fame: I don’t make any claim to fame, but I’m a former MSA exec and RA. I’ve managed to know a lot of people without really being known. And I suppose I’m the last person you’d expect to be from Las Vegas who actually is. Post-grad plans: […]

Bwog contributor Alex Weinberg just frantically passed along the following tip: “There is a huge amount of ice cream in the Wallach Lounge and they are begging people to come eat it or steal it. I walked away with a box of ice cream sandwiches. TIME IS TICKING” And for those of you who foolishly […]

Around 3:30 PM, the men’s bathroom on the 5th floor of Butler (the one by the east elevator) was promptly closed, locked and surrounded by two police officers and a CU Security official. One B&W staffer overheard the policemen saying that an incident had occurred around 3 PM and heard the cops muttering the words […]
