ESC and CCSC Presidents Peter Valeiras and George Krebs announced an event honoring the life of Eric Harms, the Columbia student who recently passed away. The remembrance of Harms’ life will be on Monday, February 9th in Low Plaza and is open to the Columbia Community. Full email after the jump.                    

Glass House Rocks, the one event of the year during which all the diagonal walkways in Lerner have a purpose, starts in three hours. The theme is “time machine.” Make sure to go over and take advantage of the oodles of free food and t-shirts. While you’re waiting, check out this dance battle video from […]

The Eye website is still under construction, but you can still access a PDF of the latest issue, which details fights of small consequence. The feature wrangles with Morningside’s meager dining options (Pg.6). The battle over stunt TV casting still rages (Pg. 11). The rumble between art and the economy goes on and on (Pg. […]

The Society of Physics Students will have Koronets at their meeting tonight at 7:00PM in 831 Pupin. Despite the food, the physics of creating gigantic pizzas will not be discussed. Bwog has been advised that, if you get out fast enough after grabbing pizza, you probably won’t have to stay for the research talk (no […]

Graphic artist Christoph Niemann posted these LEGO sculptures of New York artifacts and features, immediately recognizable to any City dweller. The pictures have attracted a lot of attention and give little credit to Madison Square Garden, which is represented by a tire. In other arcane urban news, the strange sweet smell that has visited Manhattan […]

Proving that even middle grounds can be staked forcefully, the Campus Democrats released a statement lambasting the recent Gaza protests on campus, accusing both camps of harmful divisiveness. They urged dialogue instead of separate protests and unveiled their plan to cosponsor, along with CIRCA, the College Republicans, Hillel, Turath, and the Chaplain’s Office, a “community […]

And there was much rejoicing in frats and sororities across America: anonymous gossip forum JuicyCampus has gone out of business. JuicyCampus is best (and only) remembered on Columbia’s campus for briefly surging in popularity after former CCSC president Michelle Diamond explored banning the site. When opposed on the grounds that this was “a university, not […]

As Bwog reported, Columbia Alum Judd Gregg is Obama’s pick for Commerce Secretary. The New Hampshire Senator has kept a relationship with Columbia, a connection that may have motivated some ethically-questionable legislative maneuvering. In 2000, Gregg attached an amendment to an agriculture bill extending a patent for a biomedical process owned by Columbia. The patent […]

Because the Internet has been suffering a drought of useless video clips, CCSC has started its own YouTube channel. “We expect to use our YouTube channel…to open the doors of our council, to update you on our projects, and to elicit your response,” wrote President George Krebs. As CCSC has realized, the best possible way […]

The State government smacks down landlords, trying to keep city housing affordable.  The head of Urban Studies will soon not have a home at Columbia. Aspiring academics won’t have a home anywhere. TV about a new home.

Sure, seniors may be looking at the worst job market in decades, but at least they have some of Columbia’s fun senior traditions to look forward to! Or, you know, not. The administration’s “War on Fun” campaign looks to be well on its way to destroying a proud senior pastime, as sources tell Bwog that […]

It�s coming. Young love, sappiness, stuffed animals, adorable couples, flowers, and pink. And (mercifully) lots of chocolate. Yes, Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Are you one of those adorable couples who sincerely enjoy the festivities because you blend in with the sickening adorable-ness of it all? Do you want the world to benefit from […]

Not that the above was ever a good excuse for, well, anything. But now logging (and hopefully finding) the stuff you lost in the subway or left on that bus bound for god-knows- where is as easy as checking Bwog’s own Lost and Found box (below Events). Behold, the MTA’s all new online Lost and […]

Stressed out? Had too much Red Bull this morning? Head to Wien�s first floor lounge for “Wind Down Wednesday,” a.k.a. free backrubs! The backrubs are provided by the beneficent campus group Stressbusters, who obviously specialize in all things anti-stress. So if you�re on the lookout for a completely new outlook on life or some deep […]

Two years ago, we at Bwog lost the U.S. News and World Report‘s “Paper Trail” blog’s Best [Campus] Alternative Media Outlet poll to Wesleyan after some crotchety commenters lampooned their granola-eating ways and they retaliated en masse. We lost last year, too. This year, we have another foe: Yale. That’s right, now you have the […]
