Tonight at 10 PM in the Lerner Piano lounge is the last ever CCSC-sponsored I am Light Blue event. Like most I am Light Blue events, meta t-shirts and blue-hued frosted goods (by way of Kitchenette) will be plentiful.  In an email to Bwog, a good-natured, V-Show appreciating President Diamond explained, “Also we will have […]

Bringing together all forms of media–from song and dance to film-footage and epic rants–Nessa Norich’s (BC ’08) senior thesis performance of Snow White showcased the rich creative diversity of our campus.

All fans of alliteration will enjoy the Postcrypt Coffeehouse Folk Festival going on right now in Kent Lawn despite the fact that their tent is somewhat obfuscated by bleachers going up by Fair Alma.  In addition to the music, the festival is home to glorious, freshly-made popcorn and thirst-quenching beverage. Acts for the rest of […]

For the record, here’s how wise Columbia seniors responded this week when asked which they would rather give up, oral sex or cheese: “It depends–giving cheese or receiving cheese?” “Well, given my current diet, if I gave up cheese I’d probably starve to death, and therefore lose both…” “Let me put it this way: Westside […]

May 5th marks the last day of classes and our favorite Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo.  Read on to for Bwog’s suggestion on how to celebrate the day. Don’t let the reference to Steinbeck fool you, Tortilla Flats is more Mexican cliche than Mexican culture.  The menu offers a smattering of inventive, if at times […]

Last night, like many of you, The Blue and White attended the premiere of the 114th Annual Varsity Show. The Blue and White staff reviews. Lions, erections, and bears, oh my! The Bwog is no stranger to hate–for details, see our ill-fated Yorkie Roundtable and that time we reminded you our name is not spelled […]

It’s time for another installment of Senior Wisdom as we check in with Rhodes Scholar and PBKer Jason Bello.

Tipster John Hill forwarded Bwog a most interesting link: Trojan is kind enough to release a ranked list (warning: PDF) of American universities on the basis of their standards of sexual health. Breathe easy; Columbia took 12th place of 139 (third among the Ivies, after Harvard and Penn, and 51 places above those filthy Cornell […]

A Bwog classic, Campus Corners is returning from a two year hiatus — for one day. Here, we bring you some of Columbia’s less crowded study spots, if only to get you to leave Wien’s warm embrace for a couple minutes. Getting into the computer science lounge isn’t easy. Last year, every undergrad was sent […]

Pardon the temporary hiatus — but if finals and papers are killing you as much as they’re killing us, perhaps it’s time for a break anyway. TONIGHT Goddard’s 60s begins at Film Forum! (209 W Houston St., 212-727-8110). With fashion designer Agnes B. introducing “Breathless” today. Film runs all weekend, event runs through June 5. […]

Bwog’s resident theater expert Michael Molina managed to weave his way through the large, metal, bleacher-like sets to review KCST’s As You Like It, and was kind enough to send us his review. The King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe’s performance of “As You Like It” brings laughter and general amusement despite rain clouds, graduation bleachers, and […]
