A tipster sent us this salient reminder that it’s important to stay awake and alert in lecture, at all costs:  

In what can only be described as an atypical installment of the World Leaders Forum, yesterday afternoon a panel of physicists and science writers gathered in Low Library to discuss “What If We Find the Higgs Particle? And What If We Don’t?” Amateur Higgs Hunter Brian Wagner was in attendance. An uncomfortably warm—and surprisingly crowded—Low […]

What are you thinking!??!  Just 3 weeks before you’ve missed your chance, SENIORS.  As always, the highlights: Welcome back Hodgson Farms today by checking out their plants, flowers, and more BIG EXCITING NEWS: Stop by Mark’s stand this Sunday to order an Tundra Brewery KEG in time […]

Three US Secret Service men involved in a prostitution scandal are being forced out, while the service tries to regain secrecy.  (NYTimes, CNN) Sudan has attacked recently-independent South Sudan in an attempt to “liberate” them and teach a “final lesson by force.” (Bangladesh News) Dick Clark, American icon, passed away yesterday, prompting many to wonder […]

As the dark nights of our collective souls draw nearer, it would seem that our classmates have already begun to lose it. Exhibit A:

Ever had twenty-five Heights margaritas in one night? Bwog has, cumulatively. Kicking Bacchaweekend off right, the brave among us hit early happy hour last Thursday… and stayed there well into the next one. It was awkwardly empty, it was frighteningly crowded. It was strangely sober, it was blackout drunk. But most of all, it was […]

Update: Looks like Columbia won! Bwog is a big fan of self-referential jokes, so we can’t help but be amused by big and important law students making fools of themselves for the approval of their peers. Since you know you wanted an excuse not to start that final paper anyway, head over here and check out […]

Bwog CCSC correspondent Maren Killackey stopped by Roone Arledge Cinema last night to check in on the doings of the committee searching for the next dean of Columbia College. Because it seemed, well, important. Despite the seemingly significant concern expressed regarding the selection of Columbia College’s new dean, attendance at the town hall held by […]

No Bacchanal? No Holi? None of these shenanigans? What are you going to do with all your time this weekend? Answer: see some awesome artsy things. From the Columbia-Juilliard recital this evening to a French movie about toilets on Monday, Columbia’s arts editor Alex Katz has you covered.  Wednesday Music Performance Program & Barnard-Columbia-Juilliard Present […]

They’re at it again. Pure Premium Productions, the same producers that brought you Hogan and N*ggas in Ferris, now proudly present International Butler Anthem. It’s about finding love in a hopeless place. Enjoy, you horny little bookworms.

Four great events, four great courses… Altschul Atrium, 7 pm: The McIntosh Activities Council’s Action and Network Committees and the New York City Civic Engagement Program will host a special screening of the film, Whatever It Takes.

Many of us could take a page out of Jonah Lehrer’s (CC ’03) book. And we’re not just talking about his most recent oeuvre, Imagine: How Creativity Works. After graduating from Columbia, Lehrer went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, become a contributing editor for Wired and NPR’s Radiolab, in addition to publishing three books in the […]

If you missed out on Wavves, not to fear. Baccha-groupie Alexandra Svokos investigated a permanent on-campus wave breaking in our very own Furnald Hall.  In an unprecedented event, this is the second RoomHop of Will Hughes, CC ’13. “There’s a Benjamin Moore on 103rd and Broadway that I was told not to return to,” Will […]

Andy Borowitz, editor of the New York Times bestselling anthology The 50 Funniest American Writers, is a pretty funny guy. Last night, he was joined by Sloane Crosley and David Rakoff  CC ’86, two of the writers included in the collection, for an evening of reading and riffing in Miller Theatre. Pun Professional Clava Brodsky was there to […]

These were lost potentially on philosophy lawn on the evening of April 17th. The earrings are large silver flower cutouts and the mood ring is a blue band with small flowers inset. Both are old with a lot of sentimental value attached. Would greatly appreciate their return if found. Please contact on2139@columbia.edu/ 646-496-3613, will reward with home […]
