Satow Room Bureau Chief Martha Turewicz attended last night’s CCSC meeting. It’s that special time of year again, and last night’s CCSC meeting was infused with some of that special holiday cheer. The meeting began, as it so often does, with President George Krebs pounding out a peppy little drumbeat on the desk. Notably absent […]

Bwog understands that staying in the ‘hood over Thanksgiving break can be a little lonely. Campus is a ghost town, and as your friends skip town droves of tourists replace them, clogging up the streets at the Thanksgiving Day Parade and talking too loudly on the subway. We also know that Thanksgiving dinner is all […]

A tech-savvy commenter speculated that after “clearing their cookies” (a term we’ll define for the computer illiterate in just a minute), voters can change their personal survey ID number to someone else’s, which in theory would mean that anyone would be able to vote multiple times.  Bwog’s on-call computer whiz kids Hans E Hyttinen and […]

On November 12, Bwog received an anonymous email with the subject line: “Exorcism on Broadway 9.” The email detailed an incident that occurred between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on October 25th, that involved several students who the sender identified as Christian Koreans — despite our attempts to reach various groups, there’s been no way […]

Guard the link to your NROTC survey with your life, as that link that was emailed to you this morning is a personalized link. What this strangely inefficient system means is that if someone clicks your link, they can change your vote. Of course, this is only coming to light after numerous students group leaders […]

Oh happy day for John Jay, Hartley and Wallach residents, who now can indulge in that most modern of luxuries: hot running water. After two days of freezing hell waters, the situation has been resolved, and students can engage in their regularly scheduled showers.  Emails of relief after the jump.

A new day, a new Fed, available on teh internetz right now! People who spend a lot of time in Butler are fun and easy to make fun of.  Aww, poor John McCain. Aww, poor Dubya. Pre-gaming: a scientific study  Some red states will always be red states.  End-of-semester-stressing? Never at the Fed!

Continuing our recent tradition of Extremely Scientific Exit Polling, we want to know: What’d you vote for on the ROTC survey?  Use the commenter name to share your school and class year, and the comment for your answer and any explanations.

You know you shouldn’t be in school right now. You should be in transit, breezing through short lines at LaGuardia or strolling through Penn Station, picking up a donut one of the city’s last remaining Krispy Kremes. Or better yet, you should be home, watching TV and making your parents do your laundry. But you […]

Some version of the ROTC survey has been emailed to you this morning by the CCSC, ESC and GSSC. The survey will be open until December 1 and the councils encourage you to “take your time” with it. A link to the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question “do you support bringing a Naval ROTC program to […]

Meet the cast and chorus (they’re calling them the “principals” and the “ensemble,” but no matter) and design team of the 115th Annual Varsity Show! It looks like nary a cast or chorus member of the 114th Annual Varsity Show has returned. Traditionally, cast members are notified of their acceptance by being hit in the […]

Who will find Columbia librarians places to live? Why, Alan Brinkley, of course!  Why did PrezBo’s salary rise half a million dollars last year? So he can retire without stress, duh “But my roommate’s veganism got me thinking”: life’s Big Questions answered here! Should you invite all your BFFs to your private island for a few […]

Old themes came back to haunt us this week.  More of this, a little of that. About ROTC: New posters arrived. Professors supported ROTC on campus; professors explained their support; professors opposed ROTC on campus. Plus, a forum! About Flex: Bwog was pumped, we could charge our parents for Hungarian.  Oh no wait, we can […]

We were dismayed to receive the following Concerned Email from Nussbaum resident Allon Brann this afternoon. Brann, like so many unsuspecting students, attended the Nussbaum incarnation of ResLife’s Thanksgiving free-food giveaway. But “the holiday offering of cider, pie, whipped cream, and candy is merely a front for a sinister aim:  the indoctrination and eventual conversion […]

Free pumpkin pie — the most topical of treats — is being served in the Broadway Skylounge from 9 PM to 11 PM.  Tastes like a five day weekend.
