In continuation of Random Acts of Kindness Week, cuppycakes will be distributed by Student Affairs on the Lerner ramps from 11-3 this afternoon.  Meanwhile, also on the ramps, take some time to write your friends a thank you note for putting up with your incessant complaining about how you missed Community but now you miss Parks & […]

Google previewed their “augmented reality” glasses, inciting debate about what results they could produce. (Nine MSN, Slash Gear, ZDNet) Giant panda’s sex life is becoming less of a mystery–but that doesn’t make yours any easier. (MSNBC) Wall Streeters are no longer dismissing techno as some weird things kids these days are mysteriously into.  (NYTimes) The […]

We’re halfway there! And as if suite selection weren’t an interesting enough experience already, today is going to be extra special. It’s the introduction of junior regroup! Prepare for all of the cutoff history for the remaining dorms to become completely irrelevant. And look out, sophomores, because anything could happen. Will the juniors wave the […]

Deantini is getting in on Random Acts of Kindness Week by setting out a lot of free pizza in all first-year dorms (and some selected upperclassman dorms). Go get some. It’s good, and there are no strings attached. Crust is fluffy, cheese is tasty. Only gripe is, there is too little sauce.

I lost 4 keys on a KROQ key chain (LA radio station, 106.7). Somewhere in Lerner?  Any help would be great. mja2147@columbia.edu

Update, 4/7/12: Looks like all that voting was for naught, as Columbia comedians and comediennes Bob, Eli, Katy, and Orli lost to NYU’s team. Or, at least Columbia’s stand-up comedy team thinks so. This week, they are competing in a virtual match-up against stand-up comedians from NYU. It’s North vs. South, Uptown vs. Downtown, Morningside […]

Bwog has obtained only scant reports about the goings-ons inside the ex-frat houses on 114th. The description of amenities below is from 546, and the pictures are from both 536 and 546. Location: 536, 542, and 546 W. 114th St. Nearby dorms: Ruggles, Carman, Broadway, Hogan and other brownstones/Greek houses. Stores and restaurants: As central as […]

I lost a light brown (cognac) women’s leather bomber jacket, which has a tag that says “Members Only” on the front. I most likely left it in Lerner Cafe. If found, please contact me at ace2120@columbia.edu or (516)385-0975. REWARD and eternal gratitude if returned!

It’s not every day that the New York Times titles an article about you: “A Promising Star, Rising Above the Horizon,” or that New York Magazine runs a feature on your life before you turn 18. But then again, Conrad Tao is not just any Columbia College student. For one, he is one of the […]

From the producers who brought you N*ggas in Ferris comes Hogan, a mature new track about growing up and moving out. As with all albums, the follow-up lacks the certain sparkle of the debut, but does reflect the artists’ emotional growth as they peer into the dark heart of the real world/suite selection. Full lyrics […]

In an email yesterday, Student Affairs sent out an email announcing the Senior Dinner, which is slated for April 30th at 8 pm, and the menu, which is strange. Wondering what a “cranberry gastrique” is, Bwog turned to resident foodie Matt Powell. The Fish Option: The fish option may be both the most substantial of […]

Life is about the Tiny Victories. And so is Live at Lerner. Today, from 12 to 1 pm, they host the Brooklyn band, which NPR has described as one of the most promising up-and-comers in the country. Even if you aren’t lured by the sound of “smart, catchy electro-pop hooks,” we can’t imagine you’ll say […]

…unless you’re in the B-school. For us plebeians, there is such thing as a free root beer float, and you can get one in front of Earl Hall starting at 11 a.m. today. The cream will be floated by  The Office of the University Chaplain, Community Impact, the United Campus Ministries and The Kraft Center in participation with Random […]

Hey Juniors! (And mixed groups.) You’ve spent the past two days watching the seniors snatch up all the good housing, and now it’s your turn to have a go. Don’t forget, this year is different—if that Ruggles suite is gone by your appointment time, you can still give Junior Regroup a go before dropping to […]

In a bout of Core-inspired rhetoric perhaps informed by his CC days, President Obama accused Mitt Romney of “thinly veiled social Darwinism” yesterday. (The Guardian) Meanwhile, Rick Santorum continues to struggle for existence. (NYT) In a world with limited resources, it seems that the Canadian penny just won’t cut it. (ABC) You gotta be smart to survive. […]
