Bwog theater correspondent Morgan Childs saw last night’s annual XMAS! show. Please don’t ask me to explain XMAS!.  In case you missed last night’s two-show run, the bare facts may seem a little out of left field.  Things begin like an off-color joke when a pagan, a Jew, and a frustrated Kwanzaa observer conspire to […]

To All Columbia College Students,  Dean Yatrakis will know if you plagiarize any of your final papers, which you most certainly will. And when you inevitably try to pass someone else’s work off as your own, she will remove you from your precious leadership positions and probably expel you. And then when you try to […]

We’ve received a few questions about the trailers on 111th and 110th between Broadway and Riverside. Bwog’s Best Boy and Key Grip Jon Hill scoped out the scene, and he reports that they’re for a new ABC network TV series called Cupid, which stars “Vince” from Will & Grace as a “modern day” Cupid. Eh. So now you know, […]

Say goodbye to off-campus Flex at two of its previous locations: Samad’s Gourmet, and the dubiously sanitary Amir’s. Oh and one other thing: It’s not them, it’s you. According to Michael Novielli of Student Auxiliary and Business Services (heretofore known as SABS), “neither establishment had the volume of Flex business it had hoped for.”

More bad news regarding endowments, this time that of Barnard. In an email sent to alumnae, President D.Spar announced that the school’s endowment, which was around $200 million when she assumed the presidency, will be just $150 million at the end of the year. Both numbers, she admitted, are small compared to those of peer […]

An hour of strolling through Butler these days is generally a fruitless mission: you are not guaranteed even one lonesome seat. Your classmates have resorted to cozy nooks on the floor, windowsills, and perches along the main stairwell to spread out their research and write papers, or drown themselves in textbook photocopies for finals prep.

Prolific tipster Jason Patinkin has just reported that a pipe has burst on the tenth floor of Schermerhorn, resulting in the evacuation of the building. “Thankfully, the building is filled with environmental scientists well equipped to deal with such hydrological catastrophes,” Patinkin rationalized in this time of crisis.  UPDATE 3:33 PM: According to a second […]

With a mere half-day left of classes left, popular lecture activity GChat is tragically broken.  Despair not, Columbia: This’ll all be over tomorrow.  Except the GChat being broken thing, which could very well continue into Reading Week.  Could you even imagine?

RoomHopping returns with a tour of an otherwise-mundane Carman double jazzed up with a massive Crayola-paint mural.  “This wall has been blank for a long time,” Ben Krusling, CC ’12, informed Bwog as we walked, gawking, into his Carman double.
