In case you haven’t noticed, there is some sort of free food thing going on out on South Lawn. That line that snakes all the way around the lawn and past the J-School? Yeah, it might take a while, but once you’ve given them your ID you are free to gorge yourself on delectables from […]

News that swine flu may be “linked” to a TC student has put Columbia’s email systems in overdrive, as administrators have made various “community-wide” announcements about the flu.

Outgoing Dean of Columbia College Austin Quigley has just issued a goodbye letter to the students of Columbia College. He wants us to know what an impact we have all made, “individually and collectively,” on his life in the past fourteen years, and so he has copied and pasted his own statements from a previous […]

Today, LionPAC will celebrate Israel’s 61st birthday with an event called “Peace of Cake.” As the title suggests, the cake is doubly symbolic – it says Happy Birthday Israel, how old are you now? while at the same time promoting peace in the region. Bwog didn’t know cake could be used as a tactic to […]

This place sucks, I wanna go back to 4th grade. Go off campus to smoke? Nah, I’d rather take those free nicotine patches and secretly smoke out of my window at 3am. Hell no, I’m not going in that little space. That’s even more depressing than my John Jay single! I’m graduating from Co-Lame-Bia. NOOOOOOO!

  The May issue of the Blue and White is imminent! For the last issue of the year, Lydia DePillis investigates the skies with Columbia’s Rutherford Conservatory. Or tries to. In Venice in 1609, Galileo created the first known telescope. It was a great leap outward in man’s expanding sphere of knowledge. Four hundred years […]

Ahmadine-who? There’s a new controversial speaker in town. You can now pick up your tickets at the Lerner Ticket Center for the upcoming Ann Coulter talk.  CUCR Executive Director Lauren Salz informs us that students must buy the tickets in person (meaning no online ordering – suck it up and put on some pants), and that […]

Free food is nice. But during the last week of classes, free alcohol can seem more appropriate. Village Pourhouse to the rescue! This week the Amsterdam eatery will be sending out coupons for one free Bud Light. Here’s the twist – it’s via text message. An electronic coupon! How did we ever get trashed without […]
