You know it’s true: your professors are hot. Well, maybe not all of them. But, if like most of the rest of us, you’ve ever been sitting in class and were suddenly overwhelmed by the desire to have Molly Murray or Anders Stephanson come out from behind the lectern and give you a private tour […]

First-year elections: “I can distinguish myself in that I created a student-run Model UN Conference, which attracted over 300 delegates, my senior year of high school.” Athletic department gives out free shit, victory ensues  Kulawik scared his money paid for your abortion  ‘Stend will not be open for election day victory parties  Columbia doesn’t like […]

CCSC President Seth Flaxman C’07 said when he got the “heads-up” on Monday from CU’s financial aid Powers that Be about the new financial aid policy, he joked with Dean Colombo: “This is the quickest editorial turn-around ever!” (The editorial he co-wrote with Presidents emeritus demanding financial aid reform came out in Spec just this […]

Noah Corwin writes in to say… Arrg! I almost forgot (um…avast) that it is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yes, it is a geek thing, like Pi Day (3/14), Mole Day (10/23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m.), Towel Day, Darwin Day, and Friday (well maybe not Friday). And while we’re on the topic of […]

On College Walk, right now, indulge your inner biblical hero and make a shofar for Rosh Hashanah! The good people at Columbia Chabad have a wealth of ram’s horns (and sheep and kudu and creatures more exotic) that you can drill and sand for free. If you like your creation, you can take it home […]

More stuff you shouldn’t have saved on public computers.  When the buzz gets a little throat, a little brass, a little sass—now we know it’s becoming a man. Not like a cheesy, wheezy clarinetist typing the Hora at the day’s third Bar Mitzvah reception. It’s starting to burst, like a cavalry’s accompaniment, sans jingoism.   […]

This morning you recieved an email from PrezBo in your overflowing cubmail box. Read it! It’s news! Columbia has decided to reform its financial aid policy to benefit students whose combined family income is less than $50,000.

That’s right. Sims. A quick look at LaundryView’s new website will confirm that administrators think a polygonal world is the best one for us when it comes to deciding where we’ll do our laundry. Of course, this virtual reality is still far-enough removed from our own that it requires a legend to be understood. Maybe […]

Spectator has relayed that Princeton has joined Harvard in ending early admissions. Shall we proceed from largest to smallest endowment? Or till the order go by US News Rankings? Either way, the other six are in the hot seat…

Bwog always thought there was something high art about the lurid yellow and blue of MetroCards. In the token booth of the116th st. B/C subway station on Frederick Douglass Blvd., a geometric genius has made numerous tiny sculptures (twin towers, a crucifix, subway cars) all out of the little subway passes. They’re super cute. More […]

For all ye who aren’t afraid to venture north to see bad-ass celebrities acting all bad-ass, the movie American Gangster, starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, is filming right now on 135th St.—which, although not technically Columbia territory, might well be within the next few years.
