Did you know Howard Dean (now with newfound relevance!) is coming to campus this afternoon? If you missed your opportunity to register, fear not Deaniac of yore, there’s still chance to hear the Governor speak. A line for the waitlisted (and those wishing to join the waitlist) will form outside of Low at 4 PM. […]

Election season is fast approaching!  And while there has only been one candidate announcement as of yet (not counting Mr. Carey, of course) Bwog has been hearing through the grapevine that Krebs will be facing current VP Policy Alidad Damooei in what is sure to be an epic battle of the light blue-est.  In the […]

Bwog’s new Satow Room bureau chief Martha Turewicz reports on last night’s meeting.  As far as CCSC meetings go, some are pretty unremarkable. But others, like last night’s, stand out as veritable gems, with VP of Campus Life Lindsey Lazopoulos as the star of the show, proffering bon mots left, right and center. To wit: […]

It’s time for another installment of Bwog Personals. All interested parties should contact Bwog via email and we’ll provide the $10 for the date. And as always, nominate your friends (or yourself) for a personal by emailing bwgossip@columbia.edu.                                                  

“The Internet has created new forms of storytelling.  In some cases, the threat may prove fatal.”  What, pray tell, does he speak of?  Toy Story: the defining allegory of our generation. We won and we lost!  Hooray for a balanced perspective! “Vocalist Shirley Simms remained largely silent.”  Good show! Columbia’s housing selection process is SUITE.  […]

Hungry for seafood on a college budget? The prospect of Morton Williams make you ill? Bwog correspondent David Iscoe has found a solution in the form of the New Young Fish Market.   The first time I saw the New Young Fish Market, I thought the sign said “Neil Young Fish Market,” but the real […]

Breaking CCSC/ESC/GSSC/SGA news in the form of new dark horse candidate Chas Carey, CC ’08. Carey, running on the “Federalist Party” platform has decided to simultaneously run for presidency in all class councils. According to candidate Carey, his campaign is one of unification: “Class councils have long been powerless against the overwhelming might of Low […]

If you need some respite from frantic cramming tonight, head over to John Jay lounge from 8-10, where a tipster tells us that the SEAS First Year Class Council will be hosting a “hot chocolate study break.” They’ll also be announcing the launch of their new website, www.seas2011.com. Oops… hope we didn’t steal your thunder, […]

Bwog attended the annual Blue Pencil Dinner in Low Rotunda last night to see how the other half lives. Our impression follows. At 8:30 on Saturday night, the staff, alums, and distinguished guests of the Columbia Daily Spectator traipsed into Low Library in their finery for an evening of hobnobbing and a speech by Leonard […]

Wondering what the fuss around St. John the Divine around 2:00 was all about? Apparently, it’s Dominican Heritage Month. Bwogger-slash-tipster David Iscoe has the scoop: “A crowd waving Dominican and American flags stood on Amsterdam and 110th, and then a motorcade of black Town Cars and Suburbans, with Dominican flags, came by joyfully honking their […]

Columbia Concerts and Hillel are worthy of huge sums of money; everyone else, not so much. The closing of Cafe Pertutti doesn’t necessarily mean that a good restaurant will take its place.  Nerds have more fun. Plagiarism is not just for college journalists and first-time novelists anymore. The angle of the long axis of the […]

Competitive cooking came to Columbia this afternoon.  Read on to see who proved their culinary capacity and who fell short. Coinciding with the premiere of season four of Bravo’s Top Chef, the Hartley-Wallach Living and Learning Center hosted their own cooking competition this afternoon.  The first Annual LLC Iron Chef Competition pitted fellow Hartley-Wallach residents […]

You’ll have to excuse us for our lazy morning, yesterday was Bwog’s 2nd Birthday Party at La Negrita and we’re still a bit tired. Bwoggers, BWers and alums aplenty migrated to 109th and Columbus (despite the slush and ice) to celebrate with drinks, Top 40 hits, and the memories of QuickSpecs and Major Columbia Controversies […]

Don’t worry if you slept through brunch! “Bagels and stuff” courtesy of the Debate Team in the Lerner Party Space, says tipster Christopher Morris-Lent.

Now, going on GChat to see if other people are online and reading their away messages is less shameful and more stalker-y than ever. Use the new “invisible” feature and no one can even tell you’re there while you sit online for hours and hours watching status bubbles go from green to orange. Panopticonic!   […]
