For those not fortunate enough to be on the SEAS mailing list, Dean Zvi “Spam Robot” Galil sent this to the entire engineering school late last night: Hi All, I thought you would like to know that early wednesday morning, shortly after 1AM the time and date at that very second will be: 01:02:03 04/05/06 […]

According to an article in The Villager, Dean Yatrakis’s daughter and her husband are fighting with the city over the right to evict their tenants. This development may make Yatrakis’s Contemporary Urban Issues Colloquium a little more interesting.

And the award for best lede ever in a college newspaper article goes to Tyler Hill, Yale Daily News Staff Reporter. Sometimes, simplicity rings truest: “After a 10-year struggle, the Yale College Council can now claim victory: the council has convinced administrators to put soap dispensers in dormitory bathrooms.” And suddenly, the protracted fight over […]

Revised sexual misconduct policy is passed, as Bollinger hits Asia. Adam Goldberg: ESC Freedom Fighter. And despite hopes that it was all an April Fool’s joke (or a drunken hallucination), the West End will indeed be going Cuban. Girls. They like food. It makes them happy. Attendees of Culture Shock find themselves Culture Satisfied.

From Bored at Butler: greek week opening ceremony. There was supposed to be a Tug-O-War tournament, but the first match-up (sigma-chai vs. A-chai-O) was a mess. The rope broke immediately, cause that douchebag of a programming guy from IGC bought a 1/4″ inch thick twine rope. Yeah! It shouldn’t even be called Tug-O-War anymore! They […]

Lerner 569. Pizza. Soda. Free. And CCSC debates. Going on now.

Looks like Dean Quigley’s 10th Anniversary Dance Party, scheduled for 9pm this Wednesday, is going to have a change of venue. Quigo’s club of choice, the Avalon, has been shut down as part of a city-wide bust for narcotics. Ecstasy, to be specific. From the beginning we thought there was something a little fishy about […]

Overheard in Carman elevator: Freshman #1: What’s that music outside? Freshman #2: It’s the Armenian Pride Festival. Freshman #1: What’s Armenian? Clearly, we are in dire need of another World Leaders Forum.

The ever-so-helpful Columbia homepage has a story about Natalie Portman’s legendary visit to Stuart Gottlieb’s Terrorism & Counterterrorism class. Most important, however, is a link to the video footage! See Natalie on Van Am Quad! See Gottlieb looking hot! See yourself, unshaven and weary-eyed, totally unprepared for contact with Hollywood royalty! Also, there’s a full […]

Is SIPA plaza currently hosting weird, inexplicable initiation procedures, or a King’s Crown rehearsal? You be the judge. More photos after the jump.

Wow. Apparently last weekend’s brawl was the last straw. Spec reports that the West End is being shuttered and will be converted to Havana Central, a chain of Cuban restaurants with locations in Times Square and Union Square. While this may be the biggest thing to happen to local dining since, um, Sushi Tokyo Pop, […]

Nothing excites Bwog more (especially after a long Saturday night) than the mention of a new Japanese fusion restaurant. Located at 104th and Broadway (right near Supercuts!), Sushi Tokyo Pop seems committed to curbing gastronomic orientalism with odd items such as a “suprisingly successful” smoked eel and mozzarella roll. In any case, since it’s Sunday, […]

Wherein Andrea Gallardo observes a panel discussing “Beauty and Morals.” Plus, a Q&A session that turned adults into grade-grubbing Columbia students. “Sometimes we want to live the beauty we’ve been talking about,” said Marie Ponsot. “It is the tragic destiny of human beings not to understand and to be misunderstood.” What else could one say […]

Finally, the end to your late-night grocery expense-related insomia. Fairway wins. For everything. Too bad it’s that awkward 10+ blocks away. The 125th St. (and 12th Ave.) Fairway isn’t just the supermarket of choice for West Siders but for New Yorkers all over. The produce section alone takes up the same space as Morton Williams. […]

Street evangelist to pair of hipster guys walking along 125th street: “Hello, you need God today now? Or you need girl? God made the girl!”
