There’s free food from Saigon Grill in the Carman Lounge RIGHT NOW. There’s plenty, but the event has ended, so they might take it away soon. Grab some ASAP!

The New York Observer has a small article on boredatbutler, a fact Bwog was tipped off to by the flyers posted around Butler containing quotes about boredonbutler from the weekly City newspaper (yes, Bwog is writing this while in Butler–third floor, to be precise–because Bwog is, well, bored). The piece, incidentally, is by one Doree […]

Conscious of spring’s glorious birth today, David Helfand, resident nutty professor of Astronomy, posed a curious question at the beginning of his Beyond the Solar System class: “Would you rather hear my prepared lecture or take a walk?” One hundred sorrowful humanities majors awoke, and Helfand led them on an impromptu adventure in Riverside Park […]

Housing says: “Lottery Numbers have been delayed and will posted by Noon on March 28. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.” UPDATE: Spec beats Bwog to it. To our angry poster (see comments), we’d only respond: sorry for any inconvenience that might have caused.

Guess who’s coming to the Varsity Show this year? That’s right, you guessed it… Art Garfunkel, C ’65, of Simon and Garfunkel fame. Yes, that raconteur, stealer of hearts, and dreamer of dreams is coming back to Alma to receive the Varsity Show’s annual I.A.L. Diamond Award, which goes to a Columbia alumnus who has […]

It looks like the folks at Hewitt Dining Hall haven’t learned their lesson after being cited for health code violations earlier this year. Anna Corke reports: About 1/2 hour ago, Leora Kelman, Sam Cohen, and I sighted a cockroach in Hewitt Dining Hall. It was about 1.5 inches long, probably of the German variety. After […]

It is only in the heat of the housing lottery that Columbians can feel like New Yorkers. Square footage dominates conversation. Friendships end–six friends can’t fit in a suite for five. Welcome to the city, toots. Deal with it. Much of the strategizing has already gone down, but today group lottery numbers are finally posted. […]

Housing lottery numbers come out tonight and the Spec has the stats (just not the right graphs). Students for Choice’s Emergency Contraceptive Bridgade finds they’re pretty useless. Let’s hope Norman Washington doesn’t mind being labelled the victim of the infamous EC hate crime… cause he is now! Columbia baseball winning a bit.

Overheard at the Hungarian Pastry Shop, a conversation between two guys in their late 20s. Guy 1: So do you like the baby? Guy 2: Of course, it’s a baby. Guy 1: Is there any chance that the baby’s yours? Guy 2: No, she was four months pregnant when I started dating her. But I […]

Bwog poked its head into the weekly Columbia College Student Council meeting this evening, and was shocked to find every seat filled in the normally empty audience section. Could the student body suddenly be taking an interest in the doings of their elected representatives? Alas, no. This was the Candidate Information Meeting, where CCSC officers […]

NY Daily News is calling Friday night’s West End extravaganza a frat brawl. And reports that the Aerosoles window got smashed with a bottle of Hennessy. Hennessy, people, Hennessy. That means that just hours prior to that you could have actually ordered cognac at the West End.

Overheard: “Your vagina is, like, aerodynamic.”

Last semester, B&W staffer Bari Weiss founded The Current, “A Journal of Contemporary Politics, Culture, and Jewish Affairs.” This past weekend, they released their spring edition with an open tab at Toast. Of course, Bwog only learned of the free drinks and food exactly one minute after said tab was closed. Nevertheless, The Current is […]

Can you lead a perfectly successful and happy life even if you’ve never read about Leopold Bloom masturbating on a Dublin beach? Everyone has that book (or those books) that they probably should have read by now, but have not. Professors, we hypothesized, are no different. So we asked them to name the book they […]
