We pondered its meaning, and delighted in its reflections. This building has been going up for years, but has managed to remain mysteriously shrouded in scaffolding. No longer! A day before the building officially opened on Friday, Bwog had the opportunity to join a group of  journalists on an architectural tour of the building, guided […]

Seriously! This Oreo costume was spotted giving away the classic cookie in Lerner. There appear to be many boxes. Flock thither!

Bwog got a little misty-eyed when we applauded for our favorite professors yesterday. The end of classes always both feels much too soon and way overdue—in a “shit, I haven’t done anything for this class since the midterm” kind of way. This week, we’ll celebrate the people who teach us things by reducing them to […]

On Monday No Labels took over Roone Arledge Auditorium, and Alex Jones was there to check out all of the super-exciting bipartisan action. The event started at the ungodly hour of 8 a.m., and began with an address by the four “founding leaders.”  What followed can only be described as uncomfortable. No Labels commissioned Akon […]

Bwog is your exclusive source for CCSC Secret Santa news. Grant D’Avino reports from last night’s festivities. Not much official business took place at CCSC last night. In the words of Learned Foote, “We have one resolution, and then we have pie.” The council began with a brief discussion of the resolution to install publication […]

Today is the last day of class. Nuggets, CULPA and otherwise, abound! As per tradition, at the end of the semester we want to hear your professor’s closing remarks. Your professors will say something (they read Bwog! they know what’s up). If it’s mundane/erotic/humorous or pithy in any form, pass it on to tips@bwog.com, or […]

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 […]

This week brought a doozy of dramatic distractions. Then the sky cried, and Bwog stepped in a puddle of tears. So, we dug up this installment of Dear Bwog from the archives. 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. […]
