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 

But where will we get our Vietnamese? Well thank goodness we won’t have to risk our health further by walking in the cold. Fencers: salvaging CU Athletics pride since as long as we can remember PrezBo has listserv problems  “I’m not denying that scrota exist” Plus: Have you gotten mugged recently? No? Why not?

Dear SEAS: Here are the candidates for the ESC e-board, who will fight it out tonight at 9PM in the Satow Room. You won’t get to vote on them, but at least you know who might become your quasi-elected leaders. President: Eash Cumarasamy and Liz Strauss Secretary: Erin Svokos and Krissie Zambrano Vice President Intergroup: […]

South by Southwest (SXSW), the annual film and music festival in Austin, Texas, ends today—and BW culture editor Paul Barndt got himself a press pass (see, bwogging has its benefits). The music part is higher profile, but it’s a pain–unless running around Austin to catch half-hour sets at crowded bars is your idea of a […]

Bwog coffeeshop reviewer Downing Bray took a break from caffeine this week in the Caribbean, and made it home to tell the tale. Her hazy memories follow. Jamaica, it seems, was the place to be this spring break. On this sunny island of white beaches and clear blue water, of abundant Red Stripe and weed, […]

It’s like news from a sinking ship: text messages, calls from borrowed cell phones, and internet cafe e-mails have been pouring in recently from those stranded in exotic spring break locales (including the ridiculous number congregating here). The nastiness outside in New York grounded over a thousand planes, foiling the homework plans and sinking the […]

Aside from the lethal shooting of an NYU student, the burial of the kids and adults who didn’t make it out of that Bronx house fire, and about two days of above 65 degree weather, you didn’t miss much in NYC. But at Columbia, on the other hand…just look at all of the exciting things […]
