You may have noticed several news vans near campus this morning. They are here to cover an event taking place in Lerner today, whose speakers include Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Evan Bayh, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Joe Lieberman, columnist David Brooks, and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Over 1,000 people are expected […]

And now Scabbers is gone!

This morning, the Supreme Court denied a writ of certiorari to Tuck-It-Away and the Singhs, the last parties opposing the Manhattanville expansion scheme, meaning that they will not be considering the case (official court order list from 12/13 here). This formally ends any possible legal opposition to New York State’s use of eminent domain, and […]

Dear Bwog, The following is my stream of consciousness while trying to write a paper in 209: Curse you cursor, mocking my mindlessness […]

I lost a big green and yellow Nautica umbrella. Can’t really remember where exactly, though. But it was at some point between 11 am and 6 pm today. bsr2116@columbia.edu.

THERE ARE NO PRINTERS WORKING ANYWHERE! If you know where there is a functioning printer, put it in the comments and help out your printerless brethren. UPDATE: Some printers are now working, according to Owl Printers. It’s not Armageddon, there are just more broken printers than usual. Here’s the official word from CUIT: At approximately […]

The Community Impact Leadership Program will be hosting a Winter Warm-up study break for first years (but everyone else is welcome, too!) from 8-9 PM in John Jay Lounge. There will be hot cocoa and a chocolate fountain—yum! Also in John Jay Lounge, a celebration of John Jay’s birthday will include “ungodly amounts of birthday […]

One night in September, Bwog went to visit Zak. “Zak,” we asked, knowing of his video-production proficiency, “could you maybe help us film for this absurd weather show we’re trying to do? Because we have no idea what we’re doing.” Zak said okay. The next morning, Pat and Zak met to film the first BwogWeather. […]

Okay, so the point of Boringside Heights (as explained by the title, which has the word ‘boring’ in it), is to note some boring things that happen in Morningside Heights (see it’s a play on words because ‘morning’ and ‘boring’ sound kind of similar). Bwog delights in these details, and we think you should too. […]

Bwog’s Lily Icangelo stopped in for a Columbia Musical Theater Society performance of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. It’s the end of Columbia’s week from hell—how are you celebrating? Before you set up camp in Butler and become a slave to a paper on some obscure post-modern art movement (or […]

This has not been the best week for Columbia’s public relations. Now it gets worse. Ivo Sanader, former Prime Minister of Croatia and current visiting scholar at Columbia’s Harriman Institute, was arrested in Austria on Friday, and remains in custody pending extradition. Sanader is suspected of conspiring to commit crimes and abuse of office by the […]

Huzzah! ESC, SGA, CCSC and GSC have allocated a combined total of $20,000 to the Bacchanal Committee this year. This allocations is still a one-time-deal, and future allocations to Bacchanal will depend on a separate resolution. Council members will sit on the Bacchanal selection committee (hey Learned– Weezy F. Baby!) for oversight. The one thing […]
