While you were still cramming for that last final (or perhaps drinking the memory of it into oblivion), one of your talented peers was off spray-painting walls underground. Perhaps inspired by our own Mark Hay’s forays into the tunnels earlier this semester, Columbian artist and “bandit belle” Angelique Chandy decided to try her hand at tagging, […]

A record five-time SW nominee, this gal has reportedly “climbed unclimbable peaks.” Name, school: Simone Foxman, CC Claim to fame: Well, you might remember me because I’m that person you ran into on College Walk the other day because I was engrossed in an article I was reading on my phone. Can I say mind control device? […]

We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue & White by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is a cornucopia of delights: a harrowing (and fictional) account of the muscles that guard the cheeses at Westside , the shockingly sincere history of Barnard’s Greek Games, and a […]

You may have left campus, but the wisdom endures! Next, hear from a four-time SW nominee.

Claim to Fame: President of KCST, writer of long emails with only a little genuine […]

We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue & White by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is a cornucopia of delights: the shockingly sincere history of Barnard’s Greek Games, a conversation with the elegant physicist Brian Greene, a strikingly beautiful account of a trek into Pennsylvania […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
