PREZSHAP TO RESIGN OMG!!! (now, what font size do they use for assassinations or declarations of war?) Broadway Simba to get V-Show award: what does JTT think? “Who would have thought that inside the Zen essence of bamboo lay the potential to help a poverty-stricken continent create bicycles?” A $250 meal =”Brad Pitt,” “the new […]

Looks like there may be more kids lighting up outside Butler soon–if ESC gets its way, smoking will be prohibited in all suites, the last step in a process that began two years ago with the banning of smoking in corridor-syle housing. ESC passed a resolution tonight (14 in favor, 0 against, and 5 abstaining) […]

A commenter let us know about Spectator‘s housing coverage blog this morning, and we’ve been anxiously checking since. They’re sending up live updates from John Jay lounge on what’s gone, what’s still available, and some funny shit people have said in  their panics. So, rather than sitting there on our butts all day ourselves, we’ll […]

In our inaugural photo contest, Bwog got many good submissions (this editor’s Gmail quota is now three percent more depleted), which the great hive-mind of Bwog editors narrowed down to five nocturnal masterworks. First “prize” for best submission goes to Janna Herman, B’10, for “CBGB Closing Night.” Be sure to get your original photos in […]

From now until 7:00 PM, you can make a t-shirt about your feelings around sexual assault on the Lerner Ramps, as well as pick up some cool buttons and lolly pops, courtesy of the Clothesline Project. Take Back the Night is putting on the paint-fest to raise awareness for their march, going off next Thursday, […]

The Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal has fired another salvo in their ongoing feud against Jester, claiming responsibility for the recent disappearance of 700 issues of the most recent Jester issue. They’ve placed the once-missing issues all over campus, and attached a message: “Jester Promotes Scientific Fallacies.” The full-page manifesto contains many of the CUSJ grievances, a […]

So the College Dems elections are on Wednesday, and by decree of a constitutional amendment, everyone who wants to vote must be registered by TODAY at 5PM (that’s a change from last year, when large numbers of people left Satow after their friends were elected). But only if you think you’ve been “involved.” Here’s a […]

In retrospect, how did no one figure out this was going on? EC “excluded” from many seniors’ plans. Repeating a meaningless phrase fourteen times in one article doesn’t make it funny.* From Rajasthan with love.  *Unless that phrase is “purple monkey dishwasher.”  

To send in your photo contest entries to bwog@columbia.edu. Just letting you know.  

A friend of a Bwog staffer recently attempted to check out a professor on www.culpa.org.  The professor–Robert Thurman–was not on the site.  

Creativity abounds at the Tablet Arts Fair, taking place at Low Plaza until 4:00 PM! At the “Live Art” table, members of Tablet, Columbia’s multicultural literary and art magazine, are producing their works on the spot for an auction that will be held towards the end of the event.

A couple of tipsters write in: “A set of fireworks went off between John Jay and Butler at around 2:30-3:00 [a.m.], with loud popping noises and red lights. Prepare for the requisite columbo/h&d e-mail asking for any information, blah, blah…” And… “FIREWORKS JUST EXPLODED OUTSIDE MY WINDOW – 114TH Street bw. JJ and Butler, I’m freaking […]

It’s always good to be an expert on something, even if that something is, well, nothing. Back in the day, during the Chad Crisis of the 2000 elections, Philosophy Professor Achille Varzi was apparently the go-to guy for insight into holes and what they’re all about. Brendan Ballou found a CNN transcript in which he gives his […]

Downing Bray suggests another venue for wanton caffeine consumption. Get it before it’s too late! ALT Coffee Ave. A and 9th St. A Lower East Side coffee shop legend is dead . . . almost. After a decade of service, ALT Coffee, boasting “consistently good coffee, occasionally cranky computers, and possibly the scariest bathroom currently […]

Jester is not happy. All of Jester‘s remaining new issues–at least 700 of them–have disappeared from the Student Government Office, where they were waiting patiently for distribution on Monday. If anyone has seen Jester‘s issues, please let them know, and if you yourself are the culprit, well then shame on you.  What are you going […]
