Free food in Lerner Piano Lounge. NOW! Get cheese/sausage/pepperoni Domino’s Pizza and a Snapple because of CCO. Didn’t volunteer today? Not a problem—it’s like the late-90s… they just need to get rid of the surplus.

On Thursday, Bwog correspondent Katie Reedy took on the grand dame of student council debates: the contest for Executive Board. The CCSC Executive Board debates on Thursday night, while rather subdued on the part of the actual candidates for office, had the odd feeling of a sporting event: Plates of JJ’s buffalo wings and chicken […]

Last Wednesday, Bwog correspondent Brendan Ballou attended the CCSC Rising Senior Debate. According to his report, chicken wings were plentiful, while strong opinions were not. Covering the Senior Class Council debate last Wednesday, I realized how inadequate a journalist I really am. When I showed up in the Satow room a full five minutes before […]

Profs. Andrew Delbanco and James Shapiro, two English Department all-stars, spoke about their recent experiences composing biographies of, respectively, Herman Melville and William Shakespeare. Yet both seemed to loathe to stick to discussion of the past. The Bwog’s Rob Wile was there. Wednesday evening marked the final talk in a series of lectures sponsored by […]

In which Blue and White house cineaste Iggy Cortez advises you on how to impress the discerning Kim’s clerks. Also look for Iggy’s thoughts on a newly updated biography of Italian great Federico Fellini in the Spring Books issue of The Blue and White, forthcoming imminently. This week’s selection is Red. Walter Reade Theater is […]

We’re sorry for ever doubting. The “surprise guest performance by a well-know artist” after the CU Dance-Off tonight, 4-6 pm 5-7 pm (according to an email) in front of Butler, is Tony Yayo of G-Unit.

In which staffer Mark Krotov gives movie suggestions for those who fear to venture off the 1, 2, and 3 lines. AMC Loews 84th Street 6 84th and Broadway The Benchwarmers If what you’ve always wanted is a film starring David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Napoleon Dynamite’s Jon Heder, then this is the film for […]

Evolution vs. Open Columbia: it’s all about the subtleties, baby. 40 on 40 crackdown definitively proves that Columbia is a cold, uncaring place. Columbia’s Father Neuhaus is tight with Dubya. Quote out of context: “The first thing I noticed was that everyone was Asian, just like the people who break-dance in Lerner.” After too long, […]

History gods Manning Marable and Eric Foner talked to racist Rob Corddry on last night’s special race episode of The Daily Show. Though the profs are on-screen for a combined two minutes, there are major revelations: namely, Marable is not white and Foner comes from Jews. Did someone call an exterminator? Because the wasps are […]

The College Days BBQ is going on NOW between SIPA and EC (see events calendar). Two reasons to go: free food and some Columbia students rocking out on stage. Well, like we said, one reason to go.

Bwog correspondent Jim Williams received an e-mail this morning with the following heading: He needed to speak out: In addition to the fact that the mere existance of a Wizard of Oz/Wicked themed semi-formal for college sophmores (read: 20-year-olds) is just…well, a huge joke, does anyone else think it’s hilarious that the creators of this […]

“My! People come and go so quickly here!”… It was a quiet afternoon in Jay Lounge. Literally: no music played until the administrators closed shop for the day, at which point the speakers boomed Faith Hill’s “This Kiss” and that unbelievably annoying Enrique Iglesias song which is currently deeply wedged in this Bwog correspondent’s head. […]

Dear seniors, Bwog hopes that you enjoyed your alcohol on the Steps this afternoon. Just remember, even though “40 on 40” sounds cool, there’s no reason not to enjoy a “40 on 39,” a “40 on 22,” or a “40 on 14.” Please keep your options open. More photos after the jump.

In which Bwog staffer Mark Krotov familiarizes us with the places you can find him when he’s supposed to be in class. “We have a geology library? Do we even have a geology department?” Yes. And no. Yes. In some ways, those two questions reveal a lot of what makes the Geology Library wonderful. It […]

The Times today has an article on publishing prodigy and Harvard sophomore Kaavya Viswanathan and her new novel (out two days ago), How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life. The Times, however, appears yet to have reviewed this novel. As opposed to the Blue and White: you can (and should) read […]
