See it! Woyzeck, a production of Columbia Stages, runs from March 28 to April 1 at the Riverside Theater, 91 Claremont Avenue at 120th Street. Free with a Columbia ID! Woyzeck is a tragic masterpiece penned by the brilliant German intellectual Georg Buchner, who before his death from typhus in 1837—only 23 years old—founded a […]

We didn’t get pictures like last year, but word is that acceptance letters went out today, meaning that there are going to be a lot of angsty posts over here and excited youngsters the world over refreshing their e-mail obsessively. CC and SEAS combined got over 21,000 applications–that’s a lot to reject! Welcome, class of […]

David Iscoe reports on secular advantages to Kosher-for-Passover food. In many ways, for food lovers, religious dietary restrictions are horrible.  It’s not that I can’t imagine a life in which I couldn’t eat a cheesesteak, it’s just that I imagine that life would suck. The laws cut both ways, however. Sometimes, religious laws act as […]

(Spoiler warning: It is almost certain the comments will be full of spoilers) An “100% anonymous” tipster reported what is likely the first of several puzzles which may will appear over the next few weeks.  People who enjoyed Myst back in the day might be reminded of the game and realize this is nowhere near […]

This just in: Bob Saget (not to be confused with Sagat) has been sighted taking a college tour with his daughter.  Bwog is a fan, but not this much of a fan.

It won’t be completed during the studies of any current Columbia undergrad, but the lucky prefrosh admitted to the Class of 2011 will, at least, be able to feast their eyes on this sight by their senior year. Behold, the José Rafael Moneo-designed Northwest Science Building, to be constructed over the erstwhile tennis courts between Havemeyer […]

“Columbians” miscredited, discredited, and, well, just plain credited, worldwide: Spike Lee has certainly stalked our campus before. First, it was to use Hamilton Hall in a scene of Malcom X (to serve as Harvard, of all places). Later, Bwog discovered he was ducking into the same building for evening Lit Hum sessions. Now, a Chicago […]

The first issue of Eclectica Esoterica – the magazine that features your weirdest, wildest, and generally most interesting papers – is out. Bwog inaugurates the new publication with a customary quicking (since the magazine is in PDF format, all links point to the same source). MF Doom, meet linguistics (p. 4) Zen and the art of […]

As if the fountains on Low Plaza didn’t provide enough innuendo for passersby, a fifty foot “rocket” suddenly materialized between them this morning. Who, you may ask, felt starved for such salacious symbolism? Why, the College Dems, Repubicans, and LionPAC, who teamed up to inflate what’s supposed to be, according to their press release, a […]

Let the spin-doctoring begin: “It’s a victory for free speech and anti-racism.” Kind farewell to Lisa Anderson: “Being in SIPA next to the law school is like living in Mexico on the border of the U.S.” JTS decides to admit gays and lesbians. In other news, sky does not fall. SGB “combats social injustice” by…recognizing groups […]

Iced tea, nacho fixin’s, and several tureens of churros by the piano lounge. Grab a bite while listening to the musical stylings of an awesome-haired guy with an acoustic guitar and a microphone.

The debate among e-board candidates Tracy Chung, Michelle Diamond, and Natali Segovia took place Monday night in Carman lounge, redolent with the scent of JJ’s chicken fingers. All parties presented initially campaigns centered around a rhetorical motif of sorts. Chung’s Rebel CC campaign spoke first, with the theme of “rebelling against the status quo and […]

Elections are everywhere this time of year (ESC, such as they are, from April 1st – 3rd, and the Dems on the 11th), and a few hours ago representatives from SGB’s 60+ groups met to choose new leaders, welcome new groups, kick out a few others, and overhaul their constitution. Highlights from the Spring Town […]

One Columbia Presidential candidate Michelle Diamond has informed Bwog that she was cleared of all three rules violations filed against her. Spec has the story here. Bwog will update shortly with a recap of the debate.
