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.

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 […]

So the College Dems elections are on Wednesday, and by decree of a constitutional amendment, everyone who wants to vote must be registered by TODAY at 5PM (that’s a change from last year, when large numbers of people left Satow after their friends were elected). But only if you think you’ve been “involved.” Here’s a […]

In retrospect, how did no one figure out this was going on? EC “excluded” from many seniors’ plans. Repeating a meaningless phrase fourteen times in one article doesn’t make it funny.* From Rajasthan with love.  *Unless that phrase is “purple monkey dishwasher.”  

To send in your photo contest entries to bwog@columbia.edu. Just letting you know.  

A friend of a Bwog staffer recently attempted to check out a professor on www.culpa.org.  The professor–Robert Thurman–was not on the site.

At the “Live Art” table, members of Tablet, Columbia’s multicultural literary and art magazine, are producing their works on the spot for an auction that will be held towards the end of the event. If your suite is lonely, you […]

A couple of tipsters write in: “A set of fireworks went off between John Jay and Butler at around 2:30-3:00 [a.m.], with loud popping noises and red lights. Prepare for the requisite columbo/h&d e-mail asking for any information, blah, blah…” And… “FIREWORKS JUST EXPLODED OUTSIDE MY WINDOW – 114TH Street bw. JJ and Butler, I’m freaking […]
