An anonymous tipster points Bwog in the direction of the website of CC ’09 class council hopefuls Colin Drummond, Jason Patinkin, and Colin Felsman. The somewhat confusingly named “LE: MON Party” (Leadership Evolved: My Oh Nine) created the site to announce that they are running a paperless campaign in hopes of minimizing their “ecological footprint.” […]

In case you didn’t know, this is up on the Housing home page: Online Registration for Room Selection begins on Tuesday, March 11 after 5:00pm. EVERYONE must fill out the first step of your application by Tuesday, March 25 at midnight. So kids, as you are unpacking from long plane rides and sleeping through morning […]

For the next four days, Barnard students (who provide proper documentation identifying themselves as such) will receive a medium 1 topping pizza from the Domino’s on 125th.  Take note the hungry and budgeted amongst us: Now might be a good time to start dining with Barnard friends. Or making Barnard friends.

Eschewing their own tradition of booking hip hop acts for spring, Columbia Concerts has booked awesome Brooklyn-based indie rockers Grizzly Bear and awesome Brooklyn-based indie rockers The National for this year’s Spring Concert. An anonymous source also informs Bwog that this year’s Spring Concert will also differ from last year’s because it’s going to be […]

We stand at the edge of a New Frontier—the frontier of unfulfilled hopes and dreams.   Luke, I am your father! United we stand.  Divided we fall. We are the champions, my friends, and we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.  Another one bites the dust. All that glitters isn’t gold.

There were feathers in the air as far as four blocks from Union Square yesterday, a delicate indicator of the third annual all-city pillow battle royale. There was more floating down nearer to the action, and piles of the stuff around the feet of the combatants. Blinking constantly to keep safe from the pointy end […]

Gothamist is reporting that CCSC has just voted 25-12 in favor of banning Juicy Campus. The New York Post picked up the story too, and naturally sat down to speak with Matt Sanchez about the issue. “‘It’s like taking graffiti from a bathroom wall and showing it to the world,’ he said.” And CCSC—despite the […]

Over the holiday bwog freelancer Kate Linthicum headed north with four friends and a loose agenda: rollick through Buffalo, Toronto and Montreal, make some art, and do it all for cheap. On Monday we packed ourselves into a borrowed van and fled the city. Goodbye thesis, goodbye job, goodbye anxieties about post-graduation life. In Poughkeepsie […]

The past week was also NYU’s spring break, and our downtown diarist found himself on a cross-country sojourn to the City of Angels. He has since returned eastward with harrowing and enlightening tales of Southern California. Probably we should all move to California. Not for the sun or a chance in Hollywood—if we wanted clear […]

Matt Damon-fucking comedienne Sarah Silverman is coming to Lerner Hall! Silverman will be performing stand-up on May 9th to benefit Project ALS, an organization which benefits Lou Gerhig’s Disease research. Tickets are a minimum of $100 each (and $500 for a VIP ticket), so if you’re feeling really (really) generous, best to book early. 

Not even a fortnight since Eliot Spitzer’s resignation, problems with New York’s newest governor, David Paterson (CC ’77), have already surfaced. The New York Daily News is reporting that Paterson had used campaign funds to purchase clothing, bar tabs, and hotel stays at a Quality Inn on the Upper West Side (at which to carry […]

Break is drawing to a close, and the housing lottery is fast approaching. Use your last weekday off to acquaint yourself with the next dorm in our 2008 housing series: Nussbaum. You could do a whole lot worse than 600 W. 113th Street, a.k.a. Nussbaum. To begin, Nussbaum’s in a great location – equidistant from […]

As we reported earlier, last week, a Columbia facilities employee jumped three tracks to save a man who had fallen off the subway platform. (Though apparently, the fallen man had fallen due to drunkenness, and not a stroke.) The facilities worked is Veeramuthu Kalimuthu (known as Kali), and his story has since been picked up […]

Tipster Josh Mathew informs Bwog that Westside Market “will soon be using only biodegradable plastic bags and that customers will also have the option of purchasing reusable bags for 99 cents.” An environmentally-sound way to transport your fresh, delicious, and fairly-priced groceries from 110th to your dorm. How lovely. Meanwhile, what say you, Morton Williams? […]

While some of us are still recovering from the first half of this semester, many of our more motivated, forward-thinking peers are already thinking about their fall classes (I know, I know). Hard to believe, but the course directory has already been updated with next year’s courses.  Problem is, as many tipsters and readers have […]
