Dear seniors, Bwog hopes that you enjoyed your alcohol on the Steps this afternoon. Just remember, even though “40 on 40” sounds cool, there’s no reason not to enjoy a “40 on 39,” a “40 on 22,” or a “40 on 14.” Please keep your options open. More photos after the jump.

In which Bwog staffer Mark Krotov familiarizes us with the places you can find him when he’s supposed to be in class. “We have a geology library? Do we even have a geology department?” Yes. And no. Yes. In some ways, those two questions reveal a lot of what makes the Geology Library wonderful. It […]

The Times today has an article on publishing prodigy and Harvard sophomore Kaavya Viswanathan and her new novel (out two days ago), How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life. The Times, however, appears yet to have reviewed this novel. As opposed to the Blue and White: you can (and should) read […]

Suite selection this morning was, in a word, boring. It was sparsely populated, there were no tears, no entreaties, no suspicious doctors notes requiring entrance into Hogan–for health reasons, of course. The Famous Amos and Mrs. Fields cookies competed on either end of the banquet table, but no one jumped for the Pomegranite Naked juice. […]

The Varsity Show has a new trailer out. Not much more helpful than the first one, but now we know the show is about assassins (possibly ninjas) and that theater kids can’t spell “city.”

Two new student groups are sanctioned, subjected to mind-numbing bureaucracy. Columbia students hit Columbia, discuss “cognitive attention.” Spec says: Democracy NOW, SEAS kids! Another subtle, challenging headline Cultural stereotypes! They’re funny!

Bwog has received a tip regarding the West End’s upcoming transformation from quasi-literary drunk freshman hotspot into Cuban pleasure palace. The official name of the new establishment will be: (drumroll!) Havana Central at West End Also, the official menu changeover will start this Friday night, which means that you are just two days away from […]

Anna Corke learns just what a birdbrain can do. A Fairchild conference room, containing mostly graduate students and professors, stroked its collective chin as Dr. Sarah Woolley, a relaxed brunette dressed in brown and green, began her surprisingly understandable lecture, Natural Sound Processing in the Song Bird Brain, by showing photographs of a Bengalese finch, […]

In which Bwog correspondant Taylor Walsh lets you in on the drama that is the class of ’08’s respresentative body. The story of the ’08 class council is one of the more bizarre in recent CCSC lore, so last night’s debate promised to be an interesting one. And despite a slow start, it did not […]

Ever get the feeling that there is a dearth of public art on this campus? Bwog does too, which is why it is happy to share the wonderful geopolitics-themed poetry that it found not that long ago, in a Lehman cubicle. May you be uplifted through art.

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 […]

The Bwog personals are back under Tolu Onafowokan’s management and we promise you even more of the drama and sex and hot singles you’ve come to expect. This Wednesday and every Wednesday you get FULL ACCESS to the profiles of eligible bachelors and bachelorettes. If someone seems like the guy or gal of your dreams, […]

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.
