In the spirit of keeping Facebook reportage to a minimum, we’re not going to tell you about the changes that went down today on the site. We are, however, going to complain vocally about this little flub. Bitch here.  

Students for a Democratic Society—that group that shut down Columbia and other Universities across the country in 1968—generated some buzz last week, when about 20 students met in a Kent classroom to hash out plans for their return (sitting in, Bwog found the Young Spartacists particularly entertaining). “The New SDS” even landed the cover of The […]

Low press briefings, Bwog is aware, are typically not very interesting. This one didn’t disappoint–PrezBo took a few softball questions from a few journalists in his low, almost subsonic tones–but we did get to meet Mr. Kluge himself, a charming old man whose death will bring the University more money than we can really comprehend. […]

$400 million University Cold on Hot Jazz (ADP’s statement after the jump) Stoffel Leads SGA Poll, Spec Happy Not about Porn: “Molly Shannon, Doggy Style”; “Swashbuckling Can’t Save Pirates“ Pitching A Softball Strength, Hardball Weakness “Friendly Fire” Not Bad on the Home Front A Tragedy Averted! 

We’d heard that there was going to be a super big announcement tomorrow in Low Rotunda. We figured that it had to do with money. We didn’t know it was going to be this much money: according to the Wall Street Journal, media mogul John Kluge (the minority scholarship guy, Forbes’ #25) is forking over […]

Herewith, Bwog forces our humble co-editor and Monday daily editor under the hot spotlight of personal advertising. Like what you see? Email us at bwgossip@columbia.edu and, if they like you back, we’ll spring five dollars for coffees at Hungarian or half of one espresso at Le Monde. Girl for Guy Guy for Guy    

Put a pen in your shirt pocket, strap on a laptop case, and head over to the B-School lobby where the new E-board is doling out the B&J — there’s something like 8 flavors to choose from! This agonized Bwog editor broke Passover for the Oatmeal Cookie Crunch. Also, free hot dogs on Low Steps, […]

On a lunchtime walk, Bwog found… Westside Market is almost back, opening soon on 110th! Will D’Agostino survive?                     And this spiffy spot, Thai Market on Amsterdam at around 107th. Thai goodness in the post-Saigon Grill era. Plus, some exciting news for sophomores juniors after the jump… […]

Yes, we’re ripping off a Slate feature. Get over it. We learned last week that Financial Aid Director David Charlow had been making some strategic investments with his money—specifically, $100,000 worth of stock in StudentLoanXPress, which was on Columbia’s list of lenders that it recommended to students financing their education. Since then, the company has […]

PREZSHAP TO RESIGN OMG!!! (now, what font size do they use for assassinations or declarations of war?) Broadway Simba to get V-Show award: what does JTT think? “Who would have thought that inside the Zen essence of bamboo lay the potential to help a poverty-stricken continent create bicycles?” A $250 meal =”Brad Pitt,” “the new […]

Looks like there may be more kids lighting up outside Butler soon–if ESC gets its way, smoking will be prohibited in all suites, the last step in a process that began two years ago with the banning of smoking in corridor-syle housing. ESC passed a resolution tonight (14 in favor, 0 against, and 5 abstaining) […]

A commenter let us know about Spectator‘s housing coverage blog this morning, and we’ve been anxiously checking since. They’re sending up live updates from John Jay lounge on what’s gone, what’s still available, and some funny shit people have said in  their panics. So, rather than sitting there on our butts all day ourselves, we’ll […]

In our inaugural photo contest, Bwog got many good submissions (this editor’s Gmail quota is now three percent more depleted), which the great hive-mind of Bwog editors narrowed down to five nocturnal masterworks. First “prize” for best submission goes to Janna Herman, B’10, for “CBGB Closing Night.” Be sure to get your original photos in […]

From now until 7:00 PM, you can make a t-shirt about your feelings around sexual assault on the Lerner Ramps, as well as pick up some cool buttons and lolly pops, courtesy of the Clothesline Project. Take Back the Night is putting on the paint-fest to raise awareness for their march, going off next Thursday, […]

The Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal has fired another salvo in their ongoing feud against Jester, claiming responsibility for the recent disappearance of 700 issues of the most recent Jester issue. They’ve placed the once-missing issues all over campus, and attached a message: “Jester Promotes Scientific Fallacies.” The full-page manifesto contains many of the CUSJ grievances, a […]
