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.   […]

As always, Bwog feels compelled to do its part in propagating the scandalous rumor of the week. According to IvyLeak, everyone’s favorite director of racialized films, Spike Lee, is taking a humanities class at Columbia. The grapevine reports he’s in Hamilton from 6:10-8:00 Tuesdays and Thursdays. Bwog assumes he’s taking lit hum, brushing up on […]

Columbia financial aid catches up to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford Gift of $48 Million kicks off “soon-to-be-announced” capital campaign (link unavailable! see bwog post below!) Princeton ends early admissions. First-year says early admission is awesome. Riverside Reverend known for reform and renewal retires No new bars on 108th street, damn it!  

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. Now Columbia will just give these students money instead of loaning it to them. Also a good time […]

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. The plot involves Guns! Drugs! Danger! The 70’s!—in other […]

Free biscuits and beans on Schermerhorn plaza for “Friends of the Art History Department.” Bwog is a friend of Art History. Are you?

Every once in a while, we feel the need to draw your attention to a piece that carries eternal resonance. You may have read Blue and White alum Chris Beam’s piece before, it may be new, but it’s getting around to Butler season, and we can always use a little reminder that the library can […]

Victory! (Football) Victory! (Futbol) Victory! (Field Hockey) Genocide is bad and hopefully preventable Suicide is bad and maybe preventable Rich Jews to talk about international banking “Learning to discern between healthy and exploitative porn is much the same as learning to discern between good and bad sexual relationships.”

The sun is still shining, clubs are still planning, and professors can’t tell yet if you’re not doing the reading. Store up these days, my children, and revel in the trivial. – Students march for brassieres, scientific denial, and randomness – Librarians are amazing! Especially if you meet in a cozy spot outside Butler, with […]

The Columbia College Student Council came together as a big family this evening, doing their big happy student council thing. This week, they were joined by the 40-odd freshmen running for 2010 class council, one of whom asked the e-board to enumerate student government’s accomplishments last year. That took some thought, but veteran council members […]

The Rock Climbing Club sent out an email this afternoon tipping its members off to a really sweet deal on Clif Bars. Amazon.com is offering bulk packages for $21.49, which is about half-off the in-store price. Better yet, if you enter the coupon code CLIFLUNA and buy two boxes, you’ll get $10 off and free […]
