If you thought Columbia bureaucracy was frustrating, think again. Several Columbia international students still have yet to arrive on campus due to delayed visas. (Spec) France’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Twitter account is hacked, and Sarkozy tells the Romanian people how he really feels. Prezbo, on the other hand, only seems to be worried about […]

It rained! Outside, like it normally does, but also inside 417 IAB. Thanks to Kristina Chen for the pictures, and big ups to Professor Sadighian for thinking ahead. The storm was actually pretty insane.

As much as we lucky few loved having our LitHum class in Carman, classes just weren’t meant to be taught in dorms. A tipster sent us this delightful sign, discovered on the fourth floor of Schapiro residence hall, not to be confused with CEPSR/Schapiro Center.

While we wait for the latest issue of The Blue and White to come back from the printer, we’ll be posting most of the articles on Bwog.  Today, Liz Naiden visits New York’s forgotten beach town. The beach is not quite “beautiful.” The calming tide and unending shore of Rockaway may appeal to the cramped […]

After college, we all want to change the world, in some small way. Has your life ever been ruined by spilled salsa? Yeah, ours too. Luckily, CC ‘09ers Michael Charley and Tom Stewart have come to the rescue with the Salsabol. A bowl with an elongated lip to push salsa back onto a chip as […]

We beat Harvard — at least our investment portfolio did with a reported 17.3% return, bringing our endowment to $6.5 billion. (NYT) World Leaders Forum drama! Columbia praises Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, then takes it back. (Spec) The CC-Barnard relationship: things are still complicated. (Spec) Take a lunchtime break a la Music Hum. (NYT) […]

[M]uch as with the escort or narcotics services advertised in stealth on the site, anonymous postings have just re-popularized ancient trades to a new market...we're no more devious now—just more efficient.

Hillel is offering free food at their hizouse for their first event of the year. Reported provisions include “sweets and desserts of all kinds”. Check it out on the 3rd Floor Terrace of the Kraft Center for Jewish Life (606 W. 115th St. across from Schapiro). Update: There is chocolate fondue. Score.

In a remarkable failure of unregulated supply and demand, an estimated 160 people showed up for the lecture “Taking Stock of (Analytical) Marxism,” which was held in a common room at the Heyman Center for the Humanities with a legal capacity of 80 persons. Bwog’s Katheryn Thayer squeezed in. The EC entrance, usually congested by […]
