More goofy signage shenanigans spotted at Broadway Presbyterian.

Black cufflink with a white horse on the front. Very sentimental, worth very little. If found, please contact pel2105@columbia.edu.

Next up, the SGA Prez… Name, school: Lara Avsar, Barnard College Claim to fame: Some people know me as the President of Barnard’s Student Government Association. More people know me as the girl that really really loves homecoming. Where are you going? I still need to graduate so I’m taking a stats class this summer. […]

They may have already given their speeches, but this doesn’t mean there isn’t more wisdom to go around! We asked the valedictorians and salutatorians of the Class of 2011 some questions, and they gave us very clever ways of avoiding the infamous oral sex question. Did you do anything special to celebrate? Margot (CC Valedictorian): […]

Happy 257th academic year Columbia! Thanks to YouTube, you can now watch the whole darn thing! Or at least the highlights. Click for the faculty procession, student procession, and PrezBo’s address. Photography by Hans Hyttinen

In a somewhat unclear set of circumstances, Robert of JJ’s and this lucky lady were profiled in New York Magazine for being single and in a bar. Robert is also a fan of Little Joy, Liz Phair, and Neutral Milk Hotel.

A torrential downpour unfortunately forced Barnard to hold its Class Day not in Grant’s Tomb as planned, but in Levien Gym, high-school style. Still, the ceremony went swimmingly. As the graduates entered and parents beamed, it was clear no one really cared about the venue switch. For about 3 rounds of Pomp and Circumstance, the […]

Name, school: Jonathan Tanners, CC Claim to fame: My voice travels through walls, I have decent facial hair, and my advisor told me I was a bad person freshman year because I didn’t want to take any classes before 11:30AM.

Peter Sterne was there! Elizabeth Lyon, the salutatorian, was first up to the mic. She began by invoking Meno to explain why she did poorly in LitHum: she knew she couldn’t solve the big problems so she avoided confronting them, which didn’t jibe with her professor. Eventually, she realized that Columbians should still wrestle with […]

Yesterday, while walking down Broadway, Bwog noticed a big group of people with cameras and Public Safety officers near Book Culture. Turns out a bunch of newspaper and television reporters were staking out an apartment where IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was supposed to be staying. DSK, as he is affectionately known by the French media, […]

Not content to go quietly, the Class of 2011 had an unofficial post-graduation rager last night. The party started as a flash mob on IAB 15, but Public Safety soon stopped by for old time’s sake. During their attempt to kick students out of IAB, tipsters tell us it was a pretty rowdy time: A […]

Likely a consequence of Operation Ivy League and the subsequent revocation of certain fraternities’ housing, Psi U’s owl was removed today. A tipster caught the last moments of the owl, which stoically sat over the house’s door. We’ll remember you, friend.
