Bwog received an encouraging number of colorful entries for our Columbia Spring Fashion Extravaganza contest. This week’s winner was Max Talbot-Minkin C ’07, whose successful submission is displayed below. We hope you eager photobwoggers will keep them coming for our next theme, just in time for finals: LIBRARY CARREL DECOR. Finally, your chance to expose […]

Bwog correspondent Ashley Nin reports: “Macintosh has free food and paint so that anyone are leave their mark before the building’s torn down.” What more could you want? Enjoy a student center friendlier than Lerner – or the Lerner-like (or lite?) Nexus, set to rise on the spot, while you still can.

It’s that time of year – when the members of Philo quit jabbering and actually write something down. Surgam, the result of their efforts, gets the (very) quick treatment, below (all links head to the same PDF). Best of the Bad Poetry Contest (pp. 4 – 12) Half of a Story Called “Hooke’s Law”: The Only New Thing […]

The GW Hatchet, George Washington University’s student newspaper, is reporting that GW President (and ’59 Columbia grad, pictured) Stephen Joel Trachtenberg will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree at Commencement. The list of recipients also includes Aharon Barak, former Israeli Supreme Court President, and CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux. UPDATE: According to the official list, […]

The latest issue of Jester drops Thursday – that is, if the nefarious CUSJ [read: Jester] doesn’t interfere once more. The theme is one near and dear to Bwog’s heart: technology. (all links take you to the same PDF) AIM and the Manhattan Project – Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together (p. 11) The […]

In a shockingly short span of time, the class of 2007 will shuffle off this undergraduate coil. What’s left for them to look forward to? Finals, Matthew Fox (of Speed Racer fame!), and Bwog’s Senior Wisdom series, which will introduce you to eleven seniors whom you may or may not have been lucky enough to […]

The love affair comes to an end… This is actually a big deal Money! In Soviet Russia, Russia’s Future dissects YOU!

We’re about to start our Senior Wisdom series, and Spec is looking for some cool ’07ers too. To wit:  Know someone who’s made the most of the last four years? Spectator is looking for the best, the brightest, the quirkiest students in the class of 2007 (all four undergraduate colleges) to write about in its […]

We told you a few weeks ago about Claire Lackner, the quiet physics major who came out on top in this year’s GPA parade. This weekend, Bwog sat her down for a study break to chat about Mexican food, facebook, and looking at Mars. The salutatorian gives a speech, but what does the valedictorian do?  […]

In the spirit of Frontiers jams and the Varsity Show, a tipster sent us the following image. We leave the rest to your imagination.

Whatever you may think of Columbia Student Councils, at least they’re reasonably clean. In comparison to NYU, almost anything would be–the College of Arts and Sciences is currently in the midst of a special election after the news broke that outgoing president Meredith Dolgin (whom Gawker called a “pompous ass”), having installed herself as head […]

Your last dose of QuickFed for the year: Satirical? Or just good reporting? A similar case of overbearing verisimilitude Ew “People look at a Columbia graduate and they know. They know that person has not only a comprehensive understanding of linguistics and number theory, but they know that person could kick ass in a fight […]

Morningside Heights has a shining new addition in the coffee shop/bakery/café department! We’ve been eagerly anticipating the opening of Artopolis, a popular Greek bakery based in Astoria, on Amsterdam between 113th and 114th. It’s not officially in business yet, but if you happen to be walking by, their doors are open and you can take […]

As Columbia student groups discover technology, we give you the best of their efforts. It’s a whole new world for the Dems, reenergized after their elections last month. According to new president Josh Lipsky, next year the group will be putting on three to five events per week, as well as creating dozens of new […]
