In an email sent to graduating seniors, Dean Peter Awn just announced that the 2011 General Studies Class Day speaker will be Roger Leeds, a GS graduate (way way back when) and current professor at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. He may not have a Wikipedia page, but he does […]

Heartbroken because of the change in date? Still hungry from yesterday? Didn’t care it was 4/20 then and wish we would stop making stupid references to it in Bwog posts, while simultaneously seeking free food and/or entertainment? If you answered yes to one or more of those questions, you’ll be happy to know that life […]

While originally suspicious of any e-mail tip regarding a “Three-Minute Shower Challenge” event, we were happy to read on and learn that the one taking place this afternoon will be both child-friendly and teeming with smoothies. Masturbation jokes aside, it’s Earth day tomorrow, which means that you should start celebrating today. And you can do so […]

Apple released its quarterly profit ($5.99 billion!), and it’s up 95 percent from their year-end quarter profit. This is partially chalked up to the sale of the iPhone 4 through Verizon, which began in February. iPads apparently did not sell as well as predicted, due to a supply constraint. (WSJ) Assemblyman Micah Kellner and State […]

Several tipsters have confirmed that two students people were arrested in McBain about 15 minutes ago. They were led out of the lobby in handcuffs and taken away in a police car. The security guard in McBain reportedly says that the two were not Columbia students and the arrest “was the result of an altercation.” […]

We know you’ve been waiting a long time for Bwog to finally weigh in on the “newcomer.” But really, the question of the best burger in Morningside is so much more complex than a petty squabble between Five Guys and Mel’s. Thus, we’ve taken our time to really get our shit together. Burgers are complicated. […]

The outcome of two write-in representative elections for CCSC below: Academic Affairs Representative: Bruno Mendes Pre-Professional Representative: Rohan Jotwani They’re the nuts ‘n bolts of the political empire that is CCSC. Kudos, guys, you got the write stuff.

A little bit of sour news, Columbia. Threatening precipitation has forced the good people at Bacchanal to move their Dark Side of the Oz screening indoors. Instead of once on the Low Steps, the movie will be screened twice, at 8 pm and 9 pm in the Lerner Cinema. Run time is about 45 minutes. According […]

Cheers to a fairly successful effort to get Obama on campus, in some capacity. Though smaller in scope than some endeavors, ESC 2014 t-shirts do at least get the job done. Silly engineers, Obama went to the College! OR DID HE…? On an unrelated note, here is a picture of Obama as a pirate. Adorbs. […]

Educators4Excellence, a non-profit teacher’s organization, are camped out at Joe in NoCo right now. They’re handing out free coffee and muffins if you’ll stop and chat about education!

Hungarian Pastry Shop, the Morningside Heights staples, served its first cup of coffee 50 years ago today. Like most legendary local haunts, not much has changed since Hungarian first installed refrigeration units and expanded their shop front. Bwog wishes the unofficial capital of existential antics another successful half-century! Mosey on over for the birthday special: 50-cent coffee […]
