Nineteen candidates for freshman representative. 30 seconds each. Most either started their school’s Democratic chapters, worked for their Congresspeople, and are PROUD to be democrats. How to distinguish oneself?  “I had lunch with Obama…haha, yeah.”  

Bwog found this review while browsing classes on CULPA, and was shocked to discover that the class discussed actually exists. Shocked, and envious of the lucky six who enrolled. “On the first day you realize that this class is not a normal Columbia seminar. The class is broken up into two watches, and each student […]

Spectator reported yesterday that the Business School’s Uris Deli has banished all forms of parental food finance: Flex, Dining Dollars, and First-Year Points are henceforth useless. It seems someone at the business school doesn’t want undergraduates clogging their territory any longer; this would also explain why professional power-lunchables (think spoiled sushi and oniony sandwiches) are […]

Come get drunk (and fed faux-barbeque) with the Department of Political Science between five and seven this evening, at Revson Plaza. For those of you who don’t know, that’s the overpass in the evil shadow of the law school (but only in the mornings—tonight, Revson will be in the beneficient shadow of Philosophy Hall). Don’t […]

The following is an article appearing in the upcoming issue of The Blue and White. “Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?” “Yeah, it’s metaphysical.” “Cool. Where is she/he?” “A senior at our high school/at a state school back home. But we’re going to text each other every night and make it work.” Or something like that. […]

Upenn’s newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian, has a fine article today in which they venture into the belly of the beast and, um, interview them. Money quote: “Deitch added that the site’s new features are permanent, and will not be removed despite ‘vocal feedback.'” Which is why Bwog continues to ask for decidedly unvocal feedback, in […]

Bwog speculated on this last spring, and has now recieved visual confirmation! A savvy tipster sighted Viggo’s son Henry Blake Mortensen, who’s made a few appearances himself, moving into Hartley last night. He’s apparently sporting a blue mohawk…Bwog would have checked facebook, but we already quit.

As if choice chicken wings and cheese sticks weren’t enough, JJ’s now offers flatscreen TVs at several of its private booths. One staff member says, “I think it’s a big improvement. The kids who graduated would be really jealous if they knew about this. Welcome to the new JJ’s.”  Students tonight were watching everything from […]

As of 3:06 am, that girl who sat ahead of us in high school biology is no longer single. Some photos of our little sister in potentially compromising situations have been unjustly revealed. Some guy we barely know has just friended some girl we never knew. And now the world knows the groups we just […]
