A Bwog correspondent overheard some kids, probably future Columbians, as they looked at the Steps: Kid #1: Oh my God! How many people are there?! Kid #2: Probably about 50,000. Kid #3: I’d say it’s got to be 100. Yeah, it looks like 100. Kid #2: No, it’s definitely 50,000.

For those with a hankering, Girl Scouts are selling cookies in Lerner from 5-7 pm.

Perfect ending to a sunny day. Free sandwiches of all sorts at the Lerner information desk (by the exit doors). UPDATE—THEY’RE GONE, FOLKS!

Jim Williams reports: A recent event in Noha Radwan’s Contemporary Islamic Civilization lecture causes this Blue and White correspondent to wonder whether certain students are making a feeble attempt to revive Prangstgrüp or whether said students are merely assholes. About 20 minutes into class, a college-aged male who may or may not attend Columbia University […]

63 degree weather brings out the reptile in all of us. Lounge space on the Steps has become as rare as a Butler alcove during finals, and students have taken their readings and conversations to campus’ more obscure perches…let the sun burn away your housing woes, not your lily-white (or brown, or pleasingly tan) skin!

In the spirit of wedding crashers, lonely and ambitous men from the B-School have started crashing SIPA parties–“where the wine flows and the women are beautiful” in an attempt to escape the few and relatively ugly girls of their own school. But wouldn’t these business folks have a tough time handling the liberal ladies of […]

Eric Foner is bad, and I, David Horowitz, am bad ass. Boo yah! In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of the School of General Studies. The trail of tears. Masturbation! Masochism! Cross dressing! Emotionless […]

To those of you new to the game, CCSC elections are hilarious. There’s bitching and back-stabbing and promises and lies, all to win the hearts and minds of a student body that 97% just doesn’t care. Watching the candidates is like watching your little brother throw up before his T-ball game– so much so cutely […]

He’s the most envied and hated man on campus—yes, Steven Rubel, who snagged housing lottery number 21. So what’s going on in that lucky head of his? Via e-mail, he responds to Bwog’s queries: How does it feel to be the shit? What’s your secret? It’s just further proof that God likes me a lot […]

It turns out that high school kids aren’t the only ones who have infiltrated the once sanctified realm of Facebook. Professors may not be able to work projectors, but they can post mildly amusing Facebook profiles! Samuel Moyn, History. -Political Views: Apathetic. -Job: Foot soldier at Columbia University. -Job Title: Assistant Professor. -Description: I teach […]

Bwog isn’t sure what this poster found in a Carman elevator is meant to advertise (the e-mail address reads optimistsociety@hotmail.com, although we doubt they mean these people), but we are sure that the reactions to it are just terribly, terribly wrong.

These excerpts were culled from documents left on Columbia and Barnard lab computers. We encourage our readers to submit their own digitalia finds to us at bwgossip@columbia.edu. Part of my concern for this speech is that I simply have so much that I want to say and so much that I feel so strongly about! […]

Liberty U., college of choice by southern Baptists and Jerry Falwell devotees alike, snags McCain as their graduation speaker, too. Awkwardly-titled Facebook group Committee to Keep John McCain From Ruining Columbia College Class Day 2006, begin your foaming at the mouth… now.

CTV finally tells us what we want to hear: “Yeah, the balls were huge.” One year later, we remember pain and how we grew from it. Look Ma, se’re all New Yorkers, in really special, unique, touchy-feely ways! Yipee skipee! I’m going to get one of those giant pretzels and go to the Statue of […]

Rising Senior Steven Rubel, with lottery no. 21, you ARE THE WINNER. And rising sophomores Samuel Daly and Dustin Patenaude, with no. 2999, you ARE THE LOSERS. UPDATE. The Losers Speak. Messieurs Patenaude and Daly have just issued a statement to Bwog: “We’re just glad to be collectively paying $80,000 to live in the asshole […]
