Name, School: Javi Plasencia, CC Claim to fame: I’m that guy who walks around campus with food unknowingly stuck in his beard. You may also know me as the former biking coordinator for COÖP or as one of the tour guides shepherding herds of prospies around campus. Where are you going? I have two enticing options. I can […]

Name, school: Mke Kennelly, Columbia College. I lost the “i” in my first name during high school, and no one here can help me find it… Claim to fame: I wear a ratty old Montreal Expos hat, which is a great conversation starter…with creepy old men in bars. It’s fascinating how many people think it’s awesome you […]

Between the hours of 2 and 6am, the N64 connected to the lounge tv disappeared. “CHEN” is written on the console, power adapter, A/V cable, and controllers. Also stolen were 4 controllers (translucent turquoise, dark purple, light purple, and classic grey) and 4 games: Super Smash Bros, Super Mario 64, and  Pokemon Stadium 2 (property […]

Missing from Furnald 5! Nintendo 64 with 4 controllers (blue, gray, purple, and green) and 5 games (including Smash Bros.).

Name, School: Brendan Hannon, Columbia College Claim to Fame: I’ve been a freshman RA for three years, so I have close friends in every class. I’m a steps hippie; you’ve probably seen me on the steps playing music with some of my friends when the weather warm, or just bundled up mid-winter trying to generate […]

Last minute reminder to: Use Carsplit to get to the airport– you’ll save (some) money and make (new (best)) friends. Write CULPA reviews while classes are still (fresh) on your mind– also upload the syllabus because that’s really helpful. It’s for the general happiness maxim! Chillaxing via Wikimedia

Bwog’s Night Owl Ricky Raudales reports  that many students in Broadway and Hogan have been locked out of their rooms. Yet once again, someone seems to have forgotten the difference between am and pm. Hartley Hospitality confirmed that a computer glitch affects many if not all non-seniors in dorms that will house parents during graduation […]

Name, school: Sean Udell, Columbia College Claim to fame: I’ve had the privilege of leading the only two student groups that are allowed to store alcohol in the Lerner Party Space refrigerators. Dumping perfectly good beer and wine down the drain is just too damn sad. Where are you going? Denver, CO, where I’ll be […]

Our very own Barnard went viral this week when a student got particularly expressive via a laundry room note to a strong, beautiful peer who stole a pair of SPANX. For those of you who are male or have naturally flat stomachs—note to the latter: we hate you—SPANX are spandex that one may wear underneath clothing […]

Macbook Pro and iPod Touch. Stolen from EC yesterday. $500 reward, no questions asked! Please contact jrh2165@columbia.edu.

Things are starting to really wind down, and people start saying things that they would have otherwise probably kept to themselves. After responding to a fire alarm in McBain, a firefighter gets in a firetruck and announces over the loudspeaker: “It’s disgusting in there. I hope you guys aren’t going to leave that place like […]

Name, school: Mary Martha Douglas, Columbia College Claim to fame: Freshman RA – never moved out of first-year dorms! Co-Chair of the URC – sorry if I’ve ever pissed you off by walking by with a huge tour. Senior Fund – thank you to all who donated! And the girl who somehow got into a […]

Name, school: Rubeintz Bennett Philippe, CC Claim to fame: Co-founding a failed comic book company. Getting people Daily Show passes while interning there. Nothing else that really lends itself to acronym form. Mostly just being that black French-Canadian kid with the untraceable accent. Where are you going? Home to Montreal to finally get my driver’s license—no […]

We admit that, though still goofy, those T Magic signs has been around for a while. However, this perplexing sign outside Mel’s is brand new. Bwog can get down with Früli, but we remain unconvinced by watermelon beer. Gourmands and beer snobs of Columbia, give us your verdict!
