Remember Miss Subway competitions? No, because they were discontinued after 1976 (save a one year revival in 2004). But we should all pretend to be nostalgic for them now that, with the help of a tipster, we have found a former Columbia student winner! After extensive research (read: some Googling), we know nothing about the […]

Bored with hearing lawyers talk about law, the Columbia Pre-Law Society held a Q&A Tuesday night with Steven Chaikelson, director of the Theater Management and Production Program at the School of the Arts.

 -Via the Eye How does the Christian minority (also known as almost 80 percent of our country) do it? Does John Jay Dining abuse animals? Trick question: you’re an animal, so yes. How is the Barnard dance department academic? Why would Ben Folds do A Cappella?  

Bwog’s Japanese Culture in Small, Enclosed Units Specialist Liz Naiden has evaluated the sushi of Morningside, and she has some surprising results. Pre-made sushi is the best food from a box (though only the second best thing that can be in a box) there ever could be. It’s refreshing, healthy, readily available, and you can […]

 -Via Alternative Film Guide PrezBo says he reads Bwog…and brings out his puppy again (getting a little old). A Morningsider will run SEAS. Spar does not bring any puppies to her chat. Next year’s slate of CCSCers celebrate.

The results are in: Sue Yang is your new CCSC president, and Cliff Massey and Aki Terasaki have won their respective class council races. Massey defeated incumbent president AJ Pascua with 64% of the vote, while running mate Eve Phan won the vice-presidency over current 2010 rep Valerie Sapozhnikova. It was not a clean sweep […]

Want to go to the Venice Biennale this year, you eager little Art History major you? Uh, YES. Well, the Columbia Alumni Association can take you!  Kinda, sorta, ish. They can take you to all sorts of cool events once you’re already there. In order to get to Venice, they recommend that you… spend your […]

Let’s be honest: this semester’s been pretty lacking for controversial speakers. Until now, that is. Yes, famous author, commentator, and hater-of-all-latte-sipping-liberals Ann Coulter is coming to Columbia this May 4th. Coulter is being brought by the Columbia College Republicans and the Columbia Conservative Forum, with assistance from Young America’s Foundation and the Clare Booth Luce […]

If The Party Party wins its race against The Clear Party, it won’t be because of disqualification.

In November, Illinois and Columbia (and a few other places) combined their powers to win the White House. Now, Illinois comes to Morningside, as President Lee Bollinger has just announced that current University of Illinois Associate Provost Professor Feniosky Peña-Mora will be the new Dean of SEAS. In his email, Bollinger wrote, “Professor Peña-Mora comes […]

Spotted: Anthony Da Costa–the most electrifying thing to happen to acoustic guitar since actual electric guitars–at the Days on Campus activities fair, currently in Roone. Says he’s definitely headed to Columbia in the fall, and has his sights set on living in John Jay. (Ladies, take note.) Plus: he’s walking around with his mom–be still […]

As if John Jay’s courageous tray-elimination weren’t enough! Dining goes the extra mile today with “Green Dinners” for Earth Day in John Jay and Hewitt. You should probably proceed with the usual caution, avoiding all meats and carbohydrates that appear green, but on your way out you might stop by a few of the student […]

Sometimes kids don’t pay attention to ceremonies they don’t understand. Don’t worry, they’ll care more about their heritage later.  Of course, young man, I’ll let you use your laptop for non-academic purposes in class. Just this once. Fare hikes are a’comin! Good thing Columbia Alumni Association is on the case.  Awkward life? There’s always Xanga. […]
