The War on Fun is bringin’ you down. You have two options: drink 40’s somewhere else, or promise yourself that, without a doubt, you will never give a penny to this god awful place as long as you live. Senior Fund and its awkward propaganda be damned! Well, unless you’re too cool for mimicking Obama’s […]

Tonight’s College Days festivities will include not only free food, but apparently “prizes” (of the elementary school carnival sort, Bwog hopes) and most importantly, the chance to be dubbed a “Columbia University Royal.” That’s right, you can lord above the rest, preside in all your glory at the Kings Ball tomorrow night, and they might […]

Like many other college campuses, Columbia sees an explosion of events every April, as the warm weather and the pending exam period leads groups to trip over each other in occupying Low Plaza.

Last night’s ESC meeting was predictably punctured with nervous fidgeting and intense, meaningful stares between candidates in the current election.

Of course everyone knows that, but tell your […]

Rise and shine! Wouldn’t want to miss your General Selection appointment time (you lucky, lucky bastards). If you are lucky enough to have an appointment this morning, or you want to use your super powers to keep your room from being taken by staring at it, you can log into the General Selection Portal here.

Statistics show that people who watch The Office do better in life. Bloomberg’s ouija board decides the fate of the public schools. What do you mean there’s no way to find out? I want to know exactly how sexy the country’s first belly dancer was. Now.  Plus, the mystical powers of upper Amsterdam revealed!  

The new issue of the Columbia Political Review is out! Read it online, download it as a PDF, or hunt for a print copy in the wilds of Lerner, if you’re into that sort of thing. Authors with political agendas aim for children’s hearts, minds, and future campaign donations.  If internal conflict and foreign invasion […]

The best thing about College Days is the big wave of school spirit on campus. But the best thing about the big wave of school spirit is free food. Tonight at 8:00 in Roone Arledge, CCSC brings you Comedy Night, featuring John Mulaney, who has graced “Best Week Ever,” “Important Things with Demetri Martin,” and […]

The April issue of the Blue and White is now on a newsstand or under a dorm room door near you! If you can’t get out to pick one up now, here is another preview: contributor Sam Schube enlists in the men’s rugby team. “Do not drop the fucking ball!” yelled coach Sean Horan. “That […]

Oren’s is calling it a “tax […]
