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?  […]

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 […]

QuickFed

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 […]

Watch out Hungarian

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.

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.

Much ado indeed

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.

Matsuri Festival!

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.
