A tipster overheard the start to what will be a very, very long year for a new Columbia student: “Wait… The Odyssey is a whole separate book?” Another bout of sudden clarity was overheard later that day: Girl on phone: Wait… I heard that Ferris Booth is the same as Ferris.  You finding the syllabus […]

Fox News paints a questionable picture of Obama’s influence on unemployment rates. (NYMag) These berries are literally shinier than any other living thing. And since we can’t eat them, we’ll have to settle for a photo. (NPR) Picture yourself smiling. Now picture yourself frowning. According to the creator of emoticons (yeah, that’s a thing), modern […]

But this time, we’re tied with UChicago, that other college with a core curriculum. Harvard and Princeton are tied for 1st, Yale takes 3rd, and 6th is split between MIT and Stanford. Penn has dropped to 8th; remember when we languished there while they took 4th? Barnard, meanwhile, is back to 28th in the Liberal […]

It’s the Veritas Forum‘s forum with Oxford professor John Lennox. He’s discussing why there’s suffering in the world.

Now that most of us have traded in cubicle-desks for the weirdly shaped ones in Schermerhorm, Bwog’s Token Preprofessional takes a retrospective look at his nine-to-five summer, and a prospective look at where we go from here…  You’re a rising senior back at Columbia for one final go-around with a flexible schedule, available co-eds, an […]

Bwog’s Barnard Bureau Chief Renée Kraiem reports from last night’s SGA meeting. Last night, Rep Council met in a new (but temporary) location, the Sulzberger North Tower. The majestic North Tower wasn’t the only thing different about last night’s meeting; over half of the Reps are serving their rookie years, and some veterans have traded […]

Today is the eleventh anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. Similar to last year, we direct your attention to some reflections on 9/11. In 2005, NPR interviewed members of the Barnard Class of 2005, who were freshmen during the attacks. Last year, the Eye spoke to alums […]

The following breaking (ha!) news comes from a tipster who (inevitably) sent a longing glance in Milano’s direction on her way to class…

Update: A commenter says that FTFs are actually part of LionLink, not ARC. We’re not sure the distinction matters, but there you go.

New E-forms: Siddhant Bhatt, VP of Finance, introduced ARC (Accounting and Reporting at Columbia), a financial […]

(Chicago Tribune) Journals tend to publish well-written and well-thought out pieces, but the Morningside Review is planning to publish UWriting essays. (Spec) Employees (especially young ones) are generally warned not to be full of themselves, but a new Columbia […]

First Prize, a box set of Literature Humanities books from Book Culture, goes to Laura H.T.: At the consent workshop, coming up (no pun intended) with ways to proposition someone. One group has a Harry Potter fetish: “I’ll show you 9 3/4.” Second prize, a six-pack and a slice of Koronet pizza, goes to Tanay […]
