Bwog is regretting having left its camera at home, because there’s quite a spectacle in front of Lehman Library: DJ Tanner, in all his glory, rapping for a small audience of Barnardites and friends as they nosh on a picnic banquet. We think their set’s finished, but more music is lined up, and you shouldn’t […]

Chris Hernandez sends us the following haiku-esque missive from Furnald lawn, regarding the KCST Shakespeare extravaganza: “Their audience is massive I’m scared And their applause is ruining my studying.” This following up V-Show’s opening night, which by all accounts–and the drunken cast and creative team members stumbling around–didn’t disappoint.  

Due to the less-than-pleasant weather, Columbia Japan Society has moved its Matsuri Festival to the Lerner Party Space. There’s also quite a load of free food down there, which they are encouraging students to come down and eat — not to mention $2 bento boxes, girls in kimonos, Wiis, quirky carnival-esque games and Hello Kitty […]

Course evaluations, once the ideal time-killer for those last awkward 15 minutes of lecture, have been going digital for a while now, and it looks like they’ll be on courseworks from here on out. A couple of luddite professors seemed peeved by the change, weighing in with comments like: – “Reading between the lines of […]

It seems like everyone is on the lookout for something this week, including….  Philo’s flag.  As of the Philolexian Society’s last gathering, the group’s beloved banner has been  MIA (pictured below). Philo president Michelle Pentecost gives us the details: “The flag was last seen at our April 12 meeting in the Satow Room on the […]

Uniformed attendant standing next to giant chocolate fountain in John Jay Lounge. Why? H&D has people waiting in line to sign housing contracts? Whatever. Go now before the strawberries, cookies, marshmallows and pretzels get snatched up or the fountain runs dry!

Ethnic Studies needs its freedom, dammit! The Greek life has its grey skies too (thanks to Columbia administration) The becoming of a senior Spec sports writer More senior wisdom 101: remember that changing the name in your byline only goes so far  Take Back the Night: it ain’t no little thing

People have been having problems with this year’s Senior Week, and they go well beyond the slightly questionable placement of the cigarette in its Bondian logo. Beyond the fluctuating functionality of its website, many have complained that they’re finding it difficult to get in to events, many of which sold out early. A tipster attempted […]

What’s with the 20 masking taped garbage bags on the Plaza? Columbia’s chapter of the Student Global AIDS campaign are raising awareness about Abbott Labs‘ refusal to make a key anti-retroviral drug, Kaletra, available at low prices unless the government of Thailand rescinds an order to import generic versions of the life-saving medicine (read more […]

If you haven’t noticed the giant yellow banner in Lerner yet, or the giant yellow posters all over campus, it’s V-show time–and tickets for “Insufficient Funds” are going fast (get yours here). Meanwhile, Bwog music critic Bryan Mochizuki has been chronicling rehearsals over the past few weeks, and created this pictorial window into the world […]

In March, the news broke that Saigon Grill had locked out its delivery workers after they demanded fair wages, and they’ve been picketing the restaurant’s three locations since. Today, Bwog took a trip down to 90th and Amsterdam to check out the scene, where about ten Columbia students joined as many workers in handing out […]

Someone calling herself Reni Laine (the suspicious name was not found on Facebook nor the Columbia Directory, her name’s there Bwog just can’t spell) sent Bwog a music video, about, of all things, Frontiers of Science. “Sexy ladies, get out your calculators…we’re gonna do a little thing called a…back of the envelope calculation.”  Though it […]

1.  Free Culture Columbia, the rabble rousing group that brought you online privacy, is now saving you freshmen a lot of money: a little piece of plastic loaded with $300 worth of CC texts in the public domain (that’s pretty much everyone but Foucault, who’s still under the thumb of publishing companies). On Thursday at […]

For all you prefrosh across America (don’t worry, you won’t actually be called a “frosh” when you get there), the time is coming to decide for college – in fact, you have less than a week left. To help you decide in a very unhelpful way (you’ll never  know for sure anyway), Bwog has compiled […]
