Is the mid-week slump making you stress, grumble, and complain? (Oh, really, you couldn’t have held that door open for me? No, I didn’t brush my hair, but do you have a problem with it?) We’re here to remind you that it could be worse, and then give you some cuteness to gird your loins […]

The most recent World Leaders Forum event was a debate between the economic advisers of each of this year’s candidates to the presidency. Perpetual pseudoeconomist Artur Renault attended and wrote: When I told a friend from outside of school that I was going to watch a debate between Obama’s and Romney’s economic advisers, he knew […]

Barnard’s Student Government Association meets every week, and every week we send our best Barnard bear Renée Kraiem to bear witness. This is her report: Last night’s Rep Council meeting, which occurred sans administrative guest and a sizable portion of representatives celebrating the most recent Jewish holiday to fall on a Monday. These factors opened […]

Hello all, If the cold weather’s got you down, join us, the editors of The Blue & White, tonight at 8pm in the basement of St. Paul’s Chapel for our weekly meeting. We’ll stuff you full of snacks and warm your soul with our jovial conversation and skillful puns. Plus, if you’ve ever been interested in […]

Who needs R&R when S&S is so in right now? Go get your fill of Science & Sandwiches tonight between 6:30 and 7 pm in Lerner 568, where Columbia Science Review is hosting screenings of science-themed TED talks. Rumor has it there will also be cookies.

Many of you in CC and Barnard have acted like your class is dubstep and waited for the drop…deadline. Well, here it is! If you want to do this, print out an add/drop form, fill it out, and hand it back in to the Student Services Center in Kent 205 before 5pm. It’s too late […]

UPDATE: Wi-Fi seems to be working in Butler now. Confirmed in Butler Cafe. Rumor has it that all of NINJA printing is down. Tweets suggest that printers are down in the Diana and Barnard Library. The campus network definitely isn’t working in Butler, and hasn’t been for over an hour; hearsay is that it’s been out […]

This week’s ESC meeting was supposedly dull and marked by low temperatures; however, there are some exciting events to look forward to. Political pressperson Aria Sharma reports:  Come to TEDx Columbia Engineering on Friday, October 19th. There will be two sessions (from 1:30-3:00pm and 4:00-5:30pm), both of which are entirely free! Awesome speakers include: Michael Massimino—a […]

The Yellowist movement has taken a Tate Modern canvas victim—Vladimir Umanets, one of its representatives, has vandalized a 1958 painting by Mark Rothko. He claims his signature adds value to the piece. (CBCNews) Huawei and ZTE, two of the biggest Chinese telecommunications companies, have been classified as national threats by a congressional committee. The House Intelligence […]

CAFA, the Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid that governs CC/SEAS, has been made anew. It used to be under the Dean, but now it’s under the Provost. It used to have student reps, but now instead has professional school reps. There should be student reps on CAFA. Please make that happen, “student leaders.” Not […]

When Bwog found out there was another Milano Market in the city, we dropped everything (read: skipped our pass/fail class) to launch a full-blown investigation. In case you ever get excommunicated from the Upper West Side location for stepping on the cat’s tail or decide to transfer to Hunter College, here’s everything you need to […]

Given last week’s break, Sunday night’s meeting was surprisingly brief, most of the agenda given over to updates and introductions with one resolution passed mandatorizing post-event evaluation surveys or PEES… kidding, they’re called PERFs, Post-Event Review Forms. But yes, PEES would have been so much better. Updates: Class of 2014 is working on implementing their […]

…Or a late Saturday night crash? Yesterday, a freshman tipster found this well-camouflaged sleeper dozing in the warm, soap scented humidity of Carman’s laundry room.

Once the backwater of Columbia’s depressive, sex-deprived Internet underbelly, BoredatButler lingered, neglected or scorned by most students, until it was mothballed a few years ago. Other Ivies embraced the hyper-anonymous format—Dartmouth has BoredatBaker (part of the once-great boredat empire), and Cornell has Ezrahub (which broke the Pornell story)—, while Columbia was torn asunder by a dozen […]

Bwog’s Persian Poetry Aficionado, Sarah Thompson, braved crowds of poetry lovers on Friday to attend the Rumi Night of Poetry. Organized by the Columbia Iranian Students Association, the night was filled with music and the works of Rumi, recited and sung in both English and Persian. I was one of the lucky ones who snagged […]
