It was once said that the only two things that are certain in life are death and taxes.  While one’s death only happens once, April 15th seems to creep up on us all too quickly every time that the spring flowers are just beginning to bloom and the sun shines bright.  This is just a […]

One commenter has pointed Bwog in the direction of Vampire Weekend‘s latest concert video/interview with Pitckfork.tv, which takes place in the ADP house. The band characterizes their ADP shows as some of their most memorable: ADP is “not really a rock club, and there’s something I like about that,” says keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij. Bedecked in […]

Bwog was pleasantly surprised to awake this morning to a beautiful spring day and a pleasant plethora of red balloons scattered around Low quad.  One thousand balloons were placed around campus earlier today by LionPAC. According to LionPAC, “1,000 balloons [represent] 7,000 rockets that have fallen on the civilian city of Sderot.” One Bwog staffer […]

Another very special Tuesday installment of Political Weekly with Bwog’s White House Bureau Chief Jim Downie. It’s spring, which means that Columbia can remove those unsightly tarps from the lawns just in time for prospective students to think that Columbia always looks this happy. Of course, spring is also the time of year when the thoughts of […]

The chickens have come home to roost.  Krebs and Alidaddy slug it out for the final time. Student group endorsements, here have one.  They’re handed out like candy. Even with this, no one still knows what any of those funny acronyms actually mean. Take a brochure, get more confused about Barnard. Phillip Roth is glad […]

Well dressed and well rehearsed, CCSC E-board candidates strut their stuff for the final time this evening in Wien Lounge, as they debated for the second time, trying to wrangle every last vote before the moratorium on campaigning Tuesday morning.  Alidad and George, both looking dapper with slightly loosened ties, recited their stumps as a […]

On Sunday, Low Plaza saw a woman of great intellect and beauty stride on her steps to challenge the great chess minds of Fair Alma.  Not one to avoid a fight, Bwog’s Chess Correspondent Chris Morris-Lent took up his pawn and rook in an epic battle on 64 wooden squares. It’s been said that “chess […]

Theater correspondent Sam Reisman reports back on Trees Like Nails, the latest from prolific campus playwright, Will Snider. There’s a whodunit buried in the premise of Will Snider’s Trees Like Nails—the body of a young girl, beaten nearly to death, is discovered in the woods. But what unfolds isn’t an open-and-closed investigation into the particulars […]

Update 1:32 PM: As prospective first-years have long, overwrought conversations about the Core at Low Steps, a spectacle proceeds, ignorant to them, in John Jay Lounge, one that will shake the very bedrock of the school — Day Three of suite selection. Plus the board hasn’t been updated in, like, half an hour. Here’s what’s […]

Apparently, more “devils” upheld Niko’s impeachment. The language of the Devil is…meta! Hopefully, that can be exorcised with some straight-edged journalism. Poeticus Diabolus. Hell freezes over: SEAS kids experience technical delays.

Last night, Bwog attended the penultimate performance of the CUplayer’s performance of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite.  Read on to see what you missed if you didn’t make it.  The high ceilings and picture windows of the Wien Lounge perfectly recreated the elegant atmosphere of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite.  Although Melanie Silver’s stage design could not […]
