We’ve decided to pay more attention to USenate and what exactly they do, so as to be prepared for the upcoming election.  They had their big plenary meeting yesterday.  Senatorial summarizer Kevin Chen took notes. Les highlights: Per PrezBo, if this government shutdown goes on for more than a few weeks, the university is totally […]

A wonderful tipster has brought to our attention the very first Hawkma sighting of the year. In the early hours of this gray, foggy Saturday morning, our ethereal goddess Hawkma was spotted perched on a lamppost on South Lawn, renewing our faith as we plow through midterms (still). As always, Hawkma appeared stately, majestic, and elegant.

Yesterday, Morningside Heights got five-ish minutes of rain. Other parts of the country got tornadoes and October snow. (USNews, Chicago Tribune) The Columbia men’s XC team (ranked #27 in the nation) beat Tulsa (#7) and Princeton (#9) at the Notre Dame Invitational yesterday. This development should cause us to not be number 27 when rankings come out later this week. […]

We love to become gradually disillusioned here at Columbia. Below, the slow downward spiral as midterm season, inconceivably, approaches and you’re forced to find a space to learn. The disillusionment begins.

Tonight at 7 pm in the Levien Gym, the volleyball team will have their Ivy League home opener match against UPenn.  Tonight’s match is the team’s Breast Cancer Awareness game.  The first 200 fans will get pink t-shirts and Fairway market is donating $1 to the Herbert Irving Cancer Center for every fan in attendance.

Found on Amsterdam night of October 3rd. Appears to be real or a really good fake. Niagara Falls, Ontario address.

Looking for both free food *and* an old-fashioned way to celebrate the Indian Summer? Dying to take out those wingtip shoes/tea dress (what are those we don’t even know) out for a spin? Columbia has an answer for you classy, classy people. Head over to the CU Garden Party at 4 p.m. in front of […]

Barnard grad Ebonie Smith, BC’07, wears many hats–she is a music producer, sound engineer, and musician who both works as a producer for Atlantic Records and owns her very own independent music studio, Eudora House.  Ebonie is also the founder of Gender Amplified, a music festival which took place on Barnard’s campus last weekend.  Bwog […]

In the midst of the government shutdown, a woman was shot and killed after trying to break through a barrier near the White House. (LATimes) Economists to politicians: can we stop fucking around now? (USAToday) Bye bye Silk Road.  Nice ‘stache. (CNN) Wendy Davis is running for governor of Texas.  Go girl!  (Chicago Tribune) Twitter’s […]

Observant art-watcher Alexandra Martinez, CC’14, found what looks suspiciously like a Banksy piece right at our very own Ding Dong Lounge.  Check out the picture, join us in excited speculation, and let us know if this is new or not: Could it be…?

Ready for a shot of life! Here’s your biweekly Drinking With Bwog fix with JJ Rivera from the Columbia Bartending Agency. C’est la Vie. At least, that’s what I was thinking on Sunday while enjoying wine, bread, and cheese at the park. This past weekend, Bryant Park transformed into Taste of France, an event celebrating […]

If your goal is to actually get into 1020 (sorry, anonymous Bwog staffer, “1,020” is never gonna happen), The Line is pretty indefensible. The only thing worse than freezing one’s ass off on a cold November night is counting the drunk people walking out the door, hoping there’s finally enough room for you and your […]
