The Friday Sports Roundup returns. Football: The football team ended its non-Ivy League play with a discouraging loss to Lafayette, 13-3. While allowing 151 yards on the ground, the Lions could only rush for 30 yards themselves, and they were only able to put together one drive that lasted more than seven plays. This week, […]

The Spec returns today, and so does QuickSpec! It’s…Harlem residents once again concerned about the economy. It’s…a CCSC resolution on off-campus events. It’s…a rather different kind of play. It’s…everyone at Columbia using weird language. It’s…Raskolnikov being rejected from Columbia.

All is not textbooks and review sessions–blow off midterm steam in the city. It’s why you’re here! Friday Shhhhh! 9pm-6am 3LD Art & Technology Center 80 Greenwich St (212.645.0374) It’s a party, and you’ll come if you want to!  Want to support 3-Legged Dog, that is, an experimental theater group.  It’s an open bar with […]

Hawkmadinejad, Winged Hero of Morningside, appears to have returned to campus. O, glorious return! Your bird has been spotted outside of Hamilton (correction: where he promptly devoured a pigeon), Butler (where he promptly devoured a pigeon) and Riverside and 109th. More photos of his fearfulness and sublimity below! Saakashtweety, prepare thyself.  Photo by Lauren Weiss

Right outside Lerner, the Lubavitchers are here! A caravan to bring you Orthodox cheer. The Sukkah Mobile may seem somewhat queer, but they come in peace–that much is clear.

Right now now now outside the 116th Gates is a cute little truck giving away Pom’s new iced coffee product, which seems like their answer to the Frappuccino, and asking for feedback. It’s a frenzy! And in approximately three hours–from 5 to 6pm–try some Hungarian wines at the almost-brand-new Vino Fino, just a few blocks […]

A big Bwog welcome to C-Spot, “a new erotic review produced by Columbia students,” which we delightedly noticed on stands yesterday. This campus has been bereft of an honest-to-god sex magazine since the short life of Outlet–which never even ended up in print, and is sadly no longer available online–as has Harvard, whose flash-in-the-pan H-Bomb […]

Early this morning, local media reported that five youths were arrested for the seven assaults last Sunday. From the Daily News: Investigators captured four of the suspects Wednesday after a 17-year-old picked up on Tuesday ratted out his pals, sources said. The public also helped out by phoning in tips after police released video of […]

It may not be as fancy as Experience Columbia’s campaign site, but a CCSC 2009 class council member has tipped us off to the Council’s new-ish beta site (they haven’t advertised it widely, at least), which replaces the never-used, never-updated baby blue version of yore. This one, in patriotic red and cobalt, currently houses a […]

So, having flubbed Spec’s tricky midterm schedule (just go read yesterday’s issue), we’re back again to Quicking something else—this time last night’s final presidential debate, conclusively won by some guy named Joe. Politico’s Ben Smith – who is obsessed – uncovers that Joe isn’t registered to vote! Slate’s John Dickerson anticipates a feud with Bob […]

Catch the final installment of the exciting presidential debate series tonight at 9 PM. Your favorite campus political enthusiasts—the CUGOP, the Dems, and CPU—will be watching this thing in Lerner Cinema.  If you’re stuck studying, try procrastinating with some liveblogs. Bwog recommends New York Times‘ the Caucus, Wonkette and Jonathan Martin/Ben Smith of Politico.

Dr. Rosalind Franklin, the woman who took the picture that provided James Watson and Francis Crick with the “critical evidence” for their model of DNA, was posthumously awarded an Honorary Horowitz Prize by the Columbia University Medical Center yesterday.  When employed at King’s College London, she worked with x-ray diffraction analysis of DNA and took […]

Welcome back to Bwog’s latest feature, “In Defense Of…” Here, a writer defends something that most students consider useless, inferior, or downright loathsome. In doing so, Bwog hopes to bring you a new perspective, and give the subject the appreciation it deserves…or not. This time it’s Blue and White Managing Editor Katie Reedy defending camp-outs […]

Terrible, terrible news as Morningside standby Amir’s has been shuttered due to health code violations. And it only violated 11 points’ worth of your health during its last inspection in January. Bwog tried calling the ill-fated falafel distributor for comment, but after a few rings, the phone just cut off.  Close-up of the notice and […]

CPU has released ticketing information for the Columbia-hosted Presidential Debate that will include Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney and Chuck Baldwin.  There will be 275 of the 400 seats reserved for CUID holders and you can get them either here or at the Lerner Lobby.  The debate is this Sunday, 8 p.m. in 417 IAB.  Full […]
