Gautam Hans The scent of anxiety oozing from Butler dissipated for about 30 minutes as the Columbia University Marching Band carried out its annual tradition of making chem majors’ lives miserable. Even though most of the orgo exams are next week. This semester, the band largely avoided campus personalities, but hit SHOCC, PrezBo, PrezBush, the […]

Professor Molly Murray, in an email to her Lit Hum section about an upcoming end of-the-year movie watching party: “Then, (since, in the immortal words of Jay-Z, after the party, there’s the after-party): 8PM. V & T’s pizza, 110th and Amsterdam.” Overheard outside Uris: Girl 1: I’m not like…a fun person. I’m not a fun […]

A few issues of Spectator remain to be released, but Speccies celebrated the end of their year Tuesday night in considerable style. For the annual Spec Dinner, our campus broadsheet (whose facebook group, incidentally, has 175 more members than The Blue and White’s) rented out the private rooms of 420, a swanky bar on 80th […]

Bwog has been a little obsessed with trays lately. So obsessed we’ve started traying around with scissors. It is the only artwork we’ve done all year, and it’s only cool if you know about the OBEY Giant and F. Shepard Fairey’s phenomenological campaign of aimless propaganda, now a brilliantly whorish exercise in mass merch production. […]

If you’re looking for quick 45 minute study break, Bwog wholeheartedy suggests you hop on the 1, head down to Lincoln Center, and check out “magician” David Blaine in his giant water bubble. The plan is to stay submerged for nine days, then get tied up in chains, set a new world record by holding […]

People reports what we’ve known all along: not even Scarlett Johansson is allowed to oust our picnics. She is welcome to join, however, as long as we get to slather her with sunscreen.

What happens when 223 of the most enthusiastic people on campus get together in one place? Bwog found out at this afternoon’s Orientation Leader orientation, half as long as last year’s and still jam-packed with cheesy icebreakers, awkward raps, and interpretive dance. To Bwog’s surprise and bemusement, nearly everyone lustily joined in a recital of […]

Never underestimate the power of disgruntled losers. First, members of New GS Order—the party that went down to more benignly-named Serious Goals, Great Solutions in last month’s GSSC elections—formed the Non-Traditional Student Action Coalition, and just today hit the web with a GSLounge, a site intended to foster GS community. And they’ve been advertising on […]

  One fine Tuesday morning, your Bwoggers tried to beat Reading Week boredom with a fortray into John Jay cafeteria. They went to take a surtray of the tray puns they had found etched into trays there. After a few short inquiries, they gained early entrance into the cafeteria—John Jay’s director was equally curious as […]

Curious about the flock of kids gathered on Low Steps right now? Bwog inquired: it’s a group of seventh graders from Houston, TX touring the East Coast. They hit Philadelphia on the way here, and then will make their way up to Boston. Be nice! Welcome our Southern brethren!

Study breaks go healthy. A chichi salad bar and cupcakes, too. Update: And even more free cupcakes on the ramps!

The Barnard Spring Party and Auction is coming up on May 8th and Bwog is drooling over the items up for auction. Bwog’s favorites: NAME A CHARACTER IN ANNA QUINDLEN’S NEXT BOOK Here’s an opportunity to be immortal: choose a name—your own, your child’s, a grandchild’s, or someone from your imagination—and best-selling author, Newsweek columnist, […]
