GS’s new (unnamed?) owl mascot is now hanging on the Lerner ramps. If he is, in fact, unnamed, Bwog likes Gulliver. Gulliver the lifelong-learning owl.  

There is a ZipCar for rent outside the 114th st. Starbucks. How fun! Big, green ZipCar flags that are flopping about Broadway proudly bear the ZipCar name.  Bwog asked if the ZipCar was available to drive right now, but the request was denied. 

Bwog’s guide to the best dollar-store toy shopping in Harlem: a detailed narrative. By Alex Weinberg, with help from Hillary Busis.  A walk through Harlem will most likely lead you by a few dollar stores. Go into them. You can stock up on red Solo cups, sure, but moreover, you can find the most flamboyantly […]

Bwog was partly saddened and partly relieved to see that the founding editors of Ivygate are handing the reins over to younger blood–nobody should really be running a college gossip rag when they’re more than a year out of the game (and now they won’t have to face defeat again). Besides, they’re off doing much […]

Reminder: Lolcolumbia submissions are due by midnight on the 4th. And we’re for serious giving away $20. Bwog’s gotten numerous entries so far, and one Loldavidjudd seems to be the frontrunner. 

Bwog was passing by the Barnard gates when something caught our eye. A baby squirrel tumbled off of the top of the gate and onto the pavement. Two security guards rushed over and picked up the little guy. His nose was bleeding and he seemed to be in shock. Efforts were made to put him […]

Barnard and Sex and the City alum Cynthia Nixon at Le Monde for brunch this morning. In unrelated news, Le Monde sucks.

Ex-freshmen Rob Stenson and Mike Molina have captured exactly how Bwog was feeling last night at 1:00 AM when, locust-like, a swarm of 2011ers descended upon Ruggles.  It was terrifying. 

A bouncer at one of the area bars that Bwog frequents tells us that all bars around campus are getting ID scanners within the next two weeks. Furthermore, according to the buzz: Columbia’s footing the bill. They must really hate us…

As Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, we bring you a brief retrospective of the past three sun-drenched months. August New faces arrived on campus, in addition to a couple of changes in the neighborhood…and grounds…and ID cards. Study abroad took a Charlowian turn, while a “pretty little head”-ed singer had some harsh […]

The second installment of a multi-part presentation of the laws of finding and receiving free food. Given by God himself to Bwogger Christopher Morris-Lent. Today: 4-7. 4. THOU SHALT PASS THY HOURS IN LERNER  Some first-years and a surprising amount of upperclassmen commit the inexcusable error of writing papers, completing problem sets, and generally studying […]

Advance intel says the site looks really good.  Although it’s not that hard to beat CollegePublisher.  

We rushed to get the Orientation Issue of The Blue and White to you this week, only to have the print release held up by red tape. But we’ll still be dangling bits of it in front of you for the next few days while we get the issue online. Today: navigating the cutthroat world […]
