At long last, the Guide to the Weekend has arrived.  Bwog apologizes for the delay…  Better late than never, no?  SATURDAY New York City Anarchist Book Fair An exposition of books, magazines, pamphlets, art, film/video, and other cultural and political productions of the anarchist scene worldwide. Judson Memorial Church 55 Washington Square South   The […]

Despite (former!) GSSC President Niko Cunningham’s cries of unconstitutionality and some Maps of Injustice™ pointing to a lack of quorum, Dean of Students and Associate Dean of Faculty/GS Mary McGee has ruled that Tuesday’s vote to impeach Cunningham is, in fact, legitimate. This makes President Cunningham president no longer. In fact, GSSC VP of Policy […]

While Bwog is trying to avoid posting YouTube video after YouTube video about CCSC—well, no we’re not—we couldn’t resist this gem from the LE:MON boys. Plus, it gives us a chance to tease the upcoming Bwog Political Personals™ feature, coming in the next few days. Potential “Kristens” take note.

The Columbia website (and daily editor Pierce Stanley) informs us that History prof Samuel Moyn has won a Guggenheim Fellowship for his works on the Holocaust’s impact on postwar France. Moyn then informed us, too, by changing his Facebook status to “Samuel Moyn is gloating.” Fortunately, he’s since wised up and changed it to “Samuel […]

  Tipster Thomas Chau wrote in to give Bwog more information on the state of Pertutti, which has had its windows plastered over with paper for quite awhile now. When we last discussed Pertutti, shortly after its closure, we knew that it would be a trattoria owned by the proprietors of Nonna, a dubiously-reviewed Upper […]

FINAL UPDATE (4:20 PM):  It’s all over for the day.  As expected, senior regroup had little effect on anything other than E.C. exclusion suits (18 left) and Woodbridge doubles (27 left).  The photo to the left shows what’s left in East Campus, Watt, Ruggles, Woodbridge and Claremont. A word to the wise for you rising […]

In non-housing-selection related news, this week’s New Yorker has a piece by Jane Kramer (it’s not online, but you can read an excerpt here — and an interesting critique of the piece here) about Barnard anthropology professor Nadia Abu El-Haj. In truth, it’s something of a misrepresentation to say that the piece is about El-Haj, […]

UPDATE (1:16 PM):  Senior selection is over…except for senior re-group.  The lounge is closed until 2pm, so here’s the final count.          UPDATE (12:25 PM):  There  are two high demand Woodbridge suites  left, but all “H” lines are gone. Per Bwog’s request, housing is now listing Woodbridge rooms by line.  Here’s what […]

Columbia Ping-Pong goes to the Midwest. Next stop: Beijing? No. If an editorial doesn’t express an opinion or make a point, is it still an editorial? No. Columbia student locates Brooklyn, but is it “the new Broadway?” No. Will any Columbia student go to this Soho restaurant for $15 Vietnamese tapas? Sigh. A White House […]

Lecture Hop editor Pierce Stanley reports on a strange visitor in the hallowed halls of American history. (Hi Daily Intelligencer!) Recent semesters at Columbia have seen the arrival of some of the world’s brightest and most eloquent speakers at fair Alma, broadening academic discourse on campus in a very fruitful way. Unfortunately, for all of […]

The Blue and White is pleased as punch to commandeer the Bwog airwaves for a moment in order to announce the launch of our new site, designed by the ever-brilliant Mr. Robert Stenson, Esq. No longer shall we suffer, as Samson did, trapped between the Bwog’s two imposing columns—from this day onward, the print magazine […]

Once again, Columbia monolith vs. Manhattanville individuals: this time, in photos Eye E-I-C overtaken by hostile mononucleosis culture Hungry Jewish students float in an ocean of improperly slaughtered meats At the confluence of storytelling, Africa, rap, and outrage, there lies spoken word No conflict here: bhangra seduces us all Disclaimer: The BwogTM has not endorsed […]

Nostalgic for the suites you never even had a chance of getting anyway? Reminisce with the morning’s liveBwog.  1:42 PM: Housing has returned from lunch and suite selection has picked back up. The white board (as is far too often the case) remains the same, save for a penciled in noticed that there are 11 […]

About 90% of Columbia students are outdoors right now, so the unsheathing of the glorious, emerald South Lawn is news only for a cloistered few. More lawn porn after the jump.

The day of reckoning has arrived, and Bwog will be stationed on a beanbag chair in John Jay, livebwogging your fate. Check back to this post throughout the day today, with frequent updates of what suites are still in your grasp.  11:04 AM:
