For those of you who simply cannot wait for Assassins, on October 11th, SEAS is organizing a giant game on Manhunt throughout the entire campus. Registration is online, natch. That should satisfy any competitive blood-lust until spring.

Columbia grad (’07) and Hilary Duff look-a-like Meghan McCain has launched a blog chronicling her dad’s (Arizona Sen. John McCain) presidential campaign. Meghan, along with someone named La-Toria Haven whom Meghan calls a “political fashionista”, and Mary Anne Huntsman (Utah Gov. John Huntsman’s daughter), are “traveling on the road with Senator McCain’s campaign and [blogging] […]

Okay. That means that our whole solar system could be, like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being. This is too much! That means one tiny atom in my fingernail could be… one tiny universe. Asking someone if they’re from Jersey does not an intellectual conversation make  “‘Why on earth do […]

Put this one in PrezBo’s corner.  

Bwog was psyched to attend a verbal joust with Joe Stiglitz, his arch-nemesis William Easterly, and ethicist-in-chief Peter Singer on the question of foreign aid in 417 IAB this evening. When we arrived, the place was so packed that even a multinational corporation couldn’t have barged its way in. Those turned away flooded aimlessly into […]

This guy was really overdue for his own edition of Profs Say, seeing that Bruce Robbins loves offsetting his typically grave delivery with the occasional zinger–some of them completely over the heads of their intended recipients. This is by turns uncomfortable and hilarious to watch, espcially when said zingers crop up in bizarrely theoretical places. From today’s lecture: “(Psychoanalyst) […]

With Fair Alma’s ritual disembowelment of the hapless Penn Quakers a mere five days away, the Columbia College senior class decided to celebrate homecoming week with a little pugilism of its own. With Decolonization day going at full thrust less than 20 yards in front of them, the CC seniors lined up for some BBQ–with […]

In which Bwog lecture hopper Pierce Stanley throws up his hands at the New Yorker Festival.  For decades a bastion of intellectual arrogance, The New Yorker magazine reaches the pinnacle of sycophancy once a year during the first weekend of October when it hosts its Festival, during which journalists, artists, and intellectuals with deep or […]

“Columbus was a criminal,” bellowed Hakim from the Low Steps mere moments ago. Disagree!, reply the College Republicans, who are grilling burgers and hot dogs for their fellow Columbus Day celebrants. Yet CUGOP president Chris Kulawik, C ’08 emphasized that they are not “celebrating” Columbus per se: “we’re just recognizing it’s a national holiday” he said, […]

Various anti-colonial interests are currently gathered on Low Plaza in celebration of Decolonization Day, an anti-Colonial rejoinder to this most colonial of federal holidays. And if you think that sentence was redundant, today’s event brings back that most recurring (and most annoying) of Columbianisms: poor planning! Come 1 PM, the decolonizers will have to share […]

Now that 2011 elections are over, the Columbia College political machine is gearing up for Homecoming, initiating new members and even passing resolutions. First and foremost: this week’s Class-sponsored free food opportunities. Monday: At 1:00 PM on Low Steps, Seniors present Texas BBQ and Pie Your Favorite Senior (Spectator editor-in-chief John Davisson and Dems president […]

Found in Sulzberger and on a South Lawn bulletin board. This photo has been taken down at the request of someone who, over the phone, claimed that he was the person pictured, but did not identify himself.  UPDATE, October 10: This comment thread has been removed at the request of an administrator who said that […]

Not to be outdone by Morton Williams’ preemptive homage to Halloween, local pharmacy Duane Reade is pioneering the Christmas bandwagon. Morton Williams has the opportunity to counter-strike and capitalize on Reade’s Thanksgiving omission. West Side Market, presumably, is too busy providing the community with fresh food at affordable prices to deign to participate.
