When one sits in John Jay Lounge for any significant length of time during housing season–and there is nothing else that Bwog would rather do–it becomes evident just how big a calculated mindfuck the entire thing actually is. Tensions run high, futures are decided, relationships forged and broken–all to the soothing strains of Josh Groban […]

A Barnard student is the newest member of CB9. Tomorrow, St. A’s members join FAIR. GS students debate, feel excluded. What’s another way to spell “awesome”? Oh yeah, S-C-R-A-B-B-L-E C-L-U-B! Chris Kulawik, why are you so upset? It’s not like they had a teleconference with Moammar Qaddafi! Oh, wait. Columbia sophomore reads Burke, cites Burke.

Need a break from the harsh rigors of the housing lottery? Try Chinese mysticism! Using the power of the I Ching, the Bwog is empowered to give you a meaningless, random fortune based on your lottery number and the powers of our ancestors. Try it! Enter your lottery number:

As a service to you, dear reader, Bwog has devised a brilliant tool that will visually demonstrate your diminishing housing options. The map will be updated regularly, so check back often. Click here to see today’s housing map.

Tons of fried stuff from JJ’s in the McBain lounge – you don’t even have to sit through all of the C ’08 class council debate (though it might be amusing). Just don’t trip over the CTV camera cords on your way out.

Seniors with bad lottery numbers just discovered whether redemption could be found in Senior Regroup. Regroup was subdued this year; everyone had planned out their responses to a low number beforehand, in an attempt to gain entry into one of the coveted remaining two Hogan 5-person suites and four remaining EC 5-person high-rises. Tammi Lee […]

Bwog Correspondent Jim Williams reports: An unfortunate typo (or, rather, what I hope was a typo) in today’s Spec article about the Center for Broken Thought’s inaugural event claims that the movement is “inspired by thinkers like Nietzsche, Bataille, Artaud, and Shamu.” Yes, Shamu. The whale from Free Willy. Had the mistake been caught and […]

Overheard following Friday night’s Fruit Paunch show in Furnald lounge. Two guys walked into the the first floor bathroom, which is not labeled Male or Female. Guy 1: Wait, so IS this a guys’ bathroom or not? Guy 2: (in an abrupt tone) I dunno … let’s just be quick about it!

Tomorrow, Stop Hate on Columbia’s Campus will hold a rally on Low Plaza at 2 p.m. SHOCC’s full press release is after the jump.

2:50 p.m. Girl to her female friend in line: “I’m actually glad we’re not in Hogan, I wasn’t really into the idea. My ex-boyfriend lived in Hogan.” Friend: “Wait, didn’t he graduate like two years ago?” Girl: “Yeah, he did, but there’s still, like, sex in the walls.” 3:12 p.m. Four guys in a huddle, […]

The Bwog is pissed at whoever this loser is trying to get naked pictures of Columbia girls over AIM. Mostly because the Bwog really does have a naked picture photo assignment due, and now nobody believes us. We know you do, though. Just send those pictures on in to bwgossip@columbia.edu and we’ll make sure they […]

In last week’s Engineering Student Council elections, 67% of students voted for direct elections. 17% of students voted against direct elections. 15% of students abstained. Yesterday, the ESC voted to turn down direct elections.

Spec reported last fall that the Cathedral of St. John the Divine would let Columbia and AvalonBay Communities build on the Close (the parcel of land bordered by Morningside, Amsterdam, 110th, and 113th) in exchange for rental income.
