Let’s squeeze another piece out of Ahmadinejad. So this is an artsy movie with no plot? Sounds super! Let’s make fashion!!  Well, to be fair, no one really wants to pay for Moby’s music.  A haunted house for the college demographic. In other news, Columbia ties up some loose ends… Suspect in the Journalism School […]

Have you heard the news? Columbia’s been hijacked! PrezBo is not my friend.  Walk down frat row or into Carman any weekend night, and you’ll see, most Columbia students drink, and not responsibly.   How many authors can you namedrop in one article?  Columbia really does have a club for everything… 

Wednesday, sustainability day was going to be “dedicated to encouraging and promoting Columbia’s recent environmental stewardship initiatives and pressuring them to do even more,” complete with such accoutrements as a mountain of trash, a PrezBo speech, and giant displays. Unfortunately, it rained. Sustainability day will be rescheduled! Well, the rain didn’t stop Columbia’s sustainability report […]

Yeah, we’re not even gonna touch this one…

Tomorrow night WBAR continues its tradition of solid shows by bands you’ve probably never heard of with No Age and Double Dagger in Lerner’s Party Space. Lucky for Bwog, WBAR staffer Jamie Johns had the opportunity to talk with the duo about health food, Squeeze, and the perks of blossoming rock stardom. Over the past […]

By now, reader, you have probably become accustomed to Bwog hosting contests, what with the photography and photoshop contests, as well as the current “become an editor” contest. Well, the next contest is our Halloween Contest, where you must dress up in costume, photograph yourself, and send it to us before midnight of All Hallow’s […]

Bwog historically hasn’t run personal essays, but in this case–S. Alex Kudroff’s reflection on the wildfires in California–we decided to take a break from snark and make an exception. My town is burning. Santa Clarita, California, home of Disney Channel stars, SUVs, three Wal-marts, and me, is currently also playing host raging wildfires. Meanwhile, I […]

Nonexistent ‘Florida Airport’ Saved From ‘Blowing Up’ Columbia Begins Piling Up Money to Throw at A Problem   Fake ID News is Columbia News Spec interviews “one of the most respected and innovative artists in hip-hop history,” makes a pun on his name M. Dianne Murphy — “so far so good?” 

Twenty years ago yesterday, the US Senate rejected Robert Bork‘s nomination to the Supreme Court. Turns out he wouldn’t have gotten there at all were it not for the old Columbia School of Journalism, which wouldn’t recognize his degree from the University of Chicago when he tried to apply. “That irritated me a little bit, […]

Or was, circa 10:30 PM.  We presume the novelty will wear off soon.  

Correction: CCSC 2011’s free donuts and coffee are from 9:15-10:15 PM in the Lerner Piano Lounge.  

Islamo-Fascism Awareness week, round one!: Kulawik and co. organize a non-partisan “candlelight vigil” at the sundial.  Chopin plays tastefully in the background; more or less sombre-looking College Republicans mill about, ostensibly in remembrance of alleged “Islamo-fascism’s” alleged victims. But what’s this? Revolution party folk handing out fliers and displaying some choice David Horowitz quotes? Seems […]

Students who log on to the Dining Services website to complete a quality-assurance survey are in for a special treat. Columbia is going to donate ten cents to the charity of your choice! Ten cents?! You might think. That’s vaguely offensive and pathetic! But wait! You can take the survey as many times as you […]

Bwogger Pierce Stanley was lucky enough to attend CPU’s presentation on microfinance (starring Natalie Portman!) Here, he reports back with notes on Natalie’s outfit, micro-lending, and Village Banking. So it looks like Homeboy Jeffrey isn’t the only celebrity with a Harvard degree taking on poverty at Columbia these days. Fresh off the releases of  Wes […]
