Spec’s Housing Guide, replete with secrets: Gay couples live together without breaking any rules; Freshmen make friends with other freshmen on their floors and relative bombshells:  McBain receiving a second elevator, Wien’s bathrooms to be single-sex. Plus: A lesson in the art of being cliquey and A nod to Barnard  PS: Looks like someone got […]

While Columbia didn’t even earn the chance to lose to a group of highly skilled farmers in March Madness, students at John Jay Dining Hall did have exclusive rights to vote in Starch Madness.  The terribly corny pun did not contain any corn (nor did that one), as the Final Four on the bracket seen […]

Gems from “Columbia’s only humor magazine.” (page numbers in Jester’s numeration, add two for the pdf page number)  “CUM THAT IS MORE THAN AN HOUR OLD” (Page 4) “If you won a Dodge Viper, then fuck this science shit.” (Page 6) “Employee Ben Morton passed away from cardiac arrest due to stress-related complications…defeating a JP […]

Timbaland drops a new album on April 3rd but it’s already everywhere on the interwebs.  Bwog music critic Bryan Mochizuki takes a look at the producer’s approach and offers up an early pick for single of the year.  Last November, Timbaland told an interviewer, “I changed the sound of radio at least four times.”  This […]

Army Urged Out of Iraq, Moves Into Harlem  Spectator Misses Great Chance For Meta-Joke, Publishes This Article But how can you be sure with their sunglasses?  “Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits.” Bwog notes that it had this story first, a few times over, references its own note, references that, references that…

Last night, a sizable and enthusiastic crowd gathered in JJ’s Place to see the three parties running for 2010 Class Council debate (and eat free chicken fingers). While Mark Modesitt’s reconstituted Alma Matters [Remix] Party has the advantage of incumbency, the other two parties, AJ Pascua’s Go Party and Maximo Cubilette’s TOGA Party, seemed to […]

As part of its never-ending quest to figure out why people either a.) don’t read the paper or b.) bitch about the paper, Spectator held a Town Hall tonight within the welcoming, safe space of Earl Hall’s auditorium. Approximately half of the approximately 80 people at the event were from Spec–Bwog knows this because one […]

As if merely residing there wasn’t bad enough, Wien inmates may be subjected to room searches this coming Friday…if stolen furniture isn’t returned to the dorm’s lounge. Offenders will be subject to the Dean’s Discipline process – yes, the very same punishment handed to those determined to be the worst violators of university rules during the Minuteman […]

Anyone remember four years ago today? No? Well, something happened–the US invaded Iraq, and since then (or so say all the tally marks posted around Low Steps this sunny afternoon), 658,441 people have died. The Dems are collecting your change to send to UNICEF earmarked for Iraqi children on the Plaza until 3:00 PM, and […]

Wipe that crust from your eyes, Columbians. It’s the second day back from Spring Break, and jetlag is no longer an excuse (unless you’re just returning from some three-day hell of flight cancellations and missed connections, in which case…good luck!) While you suck it up and drown yourselves in coffee, here’s some more stuff we’ve […]

More letters added to Columbia’s delicious alphabet soup UAlbany students told their teetotalist public service announcement patronizing, lame. We know some substances that could fire their creativity… Plus, without drinking, how could we learn that “blackout activity range[s] from sex to urination to fluent sentences in Hebrew” or forget “social standards, repercussions, your future, and […]

  UPDATE, 12:01 AM: It’s Liz Strauss! BWOG POPULAR VOTE, 12:01 AM: Eash 55%, Liz 45%. You may not be able to actually vote, SEAS kids, but now at least you can let the people who can vote know who you want for your dear leader next year: Eash or Liz? They don’t have to […]

Enough about the t-shirt hype… here’s the real deal. (PDF only.) Cartoons: marching stampeding into the canon. (Page 8) Damn, someone read a lot of Wikipedia entries for this one. (Page 12-13) It’s all about how they rock the modest lipstick and pearls. (Page 17-18) How about… this way? No? Ok. (Page 20) Don’t they […]

Lost actress Elizabeth Mitchell dished on the Daily 10 recently about, well, Lost–and why those crazy Columbia kids would have a problem with her buddy Matt speaking at Class Day. Ha ha ha. Interviewer: They were unhappy that he was picked to speak on class day. Do you think perhaps that it was his advocacy […]

And he actually acknowledges he went to Columbia (look under education).  Maybe he loves us after all.   – Thanks to Eric Ruben for the tip
