Congratulations to history professor Kenneth Jackson, who added a new grandson to the family. Jackson, respected within the Columbia family as the Jacques Barzun professor of history and social sciences, is also respected in his own family: one (the first one!) of the baby’s two middle names is “Kenneth.” One of Jackson’s classes received the […]

Sometimes, even the most godless among us need to get a little religion. In our first Church Hop, we took you north–this time, Bwog freelancer Alexandra Muhler takes you the other way down Amsterdam. If Sunday mornings came directly after Tuesday afternoons, I’d probably be a faithful churchgoer.  But alas, they follow Saturday nights, so […]

AXO Theta, the Dems, CMTS, and SEEJ all want to feed you! Actually not SEEJ, they just want to sell you T-shirts, and get you to sign their petition asking Columbia to buy wind power (they’ll be there ’til next Wednesday).               

Touro College Expands Into Harlem Columbia Expands… into SPACE! Frontiers of Science expands minds…into SPACE! An invitation to a “Verses for the Masses”…scheduled with a Lerner event SPACE request Finally, Columbia students discover “unless you hate freedom,” the Holy Grail of rhetoric.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, the print issue will be here. Meanwhile, you can read the whole thing, in all its drugged-out glory, online!  Welcome to the Dollhouse…with crack  Bet you didn’t know that college students abuse substances Well they do You just wish your freshman floor was this interesting  Bowie-tacular  Robert Thurman gets whitey 

Bwog ventured into photo contests last year, held a Lolcompetition last month, and has since learned that some of you have quite a remarkable facility with Photoshop. Now, time to show off your skills: our first Photoshop competition. This time, pick your favorite professor (or your least favorite) and give him or her a makeover, […]

Columbia continues its recent trend of improving old things by re-doing them in Century Gothic with the launch of the new Lerner website. Even though the new site is the color of a failing kidney, information is streamlined and aesthetically pleasing—like this handy map of Lerner’s innards. And this insultingly oversimplified guide to booking space. […]

The arrival of Pinkberry is imminent, so Bwog took to the fourth floor of Lerner to find out how Columbia’s most convenient froyo chain is handling the news. Bwog: Hey, can I ask you a question. Elizabeth, Tasti employee: Sure. Bwog: What do you think about the fact that Pinkberry is opening down the street? […]

A friend of Bwog passes along a tip that Kim’s is having a massive sale. 25% off CDs, 10% of DVDs and 15% off books! That Criterion Collection version of Brazil you want to buy so that you might prominently display it? Yours! For only, like, $45. Meanwhile, rumors of closure are surrounding the indie […]

  Everyone’s favorite Morningside newspaper is taking a midterms hiatus, so no QuickSpec today. There will, however, be Ask Bwog. Bwog will be taking on questions about anything—Columbia-related or not. For instance, “Why does Lerner 4 smell like vomit?” or, “Why does the M104 smell like vomit?” both make excellent queries. Send questions to bwog@columbia.edu […]

Frustrated with the slow progress of the Manhattanville expansion, Columbia instead decided to dedicate its resources towards constructing a magical Bridge to Terebithia, and annex a SUNY that doesn’t exist. Hurrah! Or maybe somebody has a plaque maker, a sense of humor and a little too much time on his/her hands. Thanks to Jonathan Bell for […]

Earlier this week, Riverside Church passed around this undoubtedly urgent security bulletin: “Just a heads up: Incredible Productions, LLC. — are the producers of the film ‘The Hulk’—due out 2008. They will be flying a helicopter around the Riverside Church Tower (500 feet minimum distance—FAA standard) to shoot footage for the film. Please note the […]

Two Bwoggers report on a disturbing journey to the center of the mind… Our reasons for doing Salvia had as much to do with irony as they did with recreation. Free of associations with the 1960s counterculture, the perfectly legal psychoactive escaped the social retrenchment our nation experienced during the 70s and 80s. So while […]

Proof from Hamilton 3 that flyering is a legitimate art form: In completely unrelated news, Bwog saw this rather militant-looking vehicle parked outside its window this morning. Though momentarily worried that our nation had suffered an overnight descent into Soviet-style martial law, Bwog’s fears were assuaged when it saw that it carried a banner reading “Elite Shooters.com.” We’re glad […]

After an exciting week of Decolonization, celebrity sightings and little children, only CCSC could return the student body to normalcy.  No resolutions (or revolutions) tonight, but, for the first time ever, CTV taped the weekly updates. The meeting opened with CCSC’s beverage-related homecoming escapades.  Once the meeting was called to order and the cameras began […]
