Since we posted about this earlier: if you want to be an EcoRep, but you didn’t have time to fill out the application by the previous deadline (Saturday), it’s not too late! The deadline has been extended to Thursday, and the application shortened. Now just answer any two questions and the last (three total) and […]

The Jester’s new “orientation issue” isn’t entirely new (it also includes some past highlights) nor did it come out during orientation. Still, here goes. All links go to the same PDF. Yet another attempt to justify the cost of our education. (Page 2) Morals, eh? (7) What classes was Jester taking if these are their […]

Living in Carman can sometimes resemble wading through a disaster zone. Last night was one of those times. Freshman flood survivor Kurt Kanazawa reports:  Last night, the explosion of a hot water pipe in the bathroom of suite 1103 set off a fire alarm and covered half the floor with about an inch of water. […]

Tidbits from tonight’s CCSC meeting: – First, the first Lerner Pub is this Thursday from 10-12 (as the rest of us try, and fail, to get into East Campus). – Excitingly, Flex off Campus, per junior class President George Krebs, is “well underway,” with a timeline put together by the administration in place. Said timeline […]

A tipster sends the following anecdote:  Today I got off the subway at Columbus Circle to see a crowd gathering beneath the globe in front of the Trump tower. A man was on top of the globe, wearing rollerblades. More and more police came, and an ambulance with paramedics and a stretcher. After about ten […]

In an attempt to recreate the magic of Coney Island’s 92-year-old tradition, kosher frat Alpha Epsilon Pi hosted a hot dog eating contest that was a real sausage fest. In fact, that’s what they called it: “Sausage Fest.” Justin Vlasits filed some photos and an account of what went down.  AEPi’s hot dog eating contest […]

Bwog loves the CPU, but it seems like The Columns has gotten desperate recently: having barely posted all month, they’re now reprinting the somewhat disgraced Matt Sanchez’ columns from www.rightwingnews.com. A choice tidbit from the latest post, about how liberals point out the hypocrisy of Larry Craig’s bathroom habits and his rock-bottom record on gay […]

If you stopped out to pick up some apples at the farmer’s market (which, by the way, have raised from $1.00 last year to $1.25 per pound this fall at the stand closer to the bookstore) you won’t be able to avoid the sounds of fervent Christian music across the street, where a full-on revival […]

Get your figure drawing on.  

There’s a huge spread of food outside Roone Arledge that will probably go to waste if you don’t help eat it.

Fooled you. Our boys actually went down 27-10 at their opening game against Fordham this evening, in a predictable start to what Bwog holds out hope will be a less predictable year. But it was a lovely night, and fun was had by all (who weren’t on the field). Perhaps more of interest–Coach Norries Wilson […]

Overheard in the Shoe Tree, nee Global Ink: Customer: “Do you know what used to be here?” Owner: “My store. Global ink.” Customer: “Oh. I was looking for a magazine.” Owner: “We sell shoes now.” Customer (leaving): “Good luck.”

Jerone Hsu, CC ’07, former Editor-in-Chief of Tablet, founder of Eclectica Esoterica (whose latest, beautifully designed issue includes essays about Times New Roman and psychedelic drug use), and B&W graphics editor of yore is still gracing campus with his artistic talent. Now, though, it’s for hire, albeit for a good cause: he’s selling his mural-painting […]

Don’t let the Stone become the next Tonic. The Stone, Avenue C at E 2nd street, Sets […]

The residents of a Columbia dorm floor received these bizarre emails from their RA (specifics redacted) on Thursday morning. Here they are, very sic, copy-and-pasted. “Date: Sep 13, 2007 3:27 AM Subject: Incident Tonight Hi Everyone! As some of you might have heard, an incident occured around 1:40am this morning.  There were screams, loud noises, Public […]
