The Bwog has been receiving word all day that kids on the College Confidential discussion board have been finding yesterday’s post on admissions letters very tasty. Do they like the photos? Are they even more excited now to hear the news? No. They are using the photographic proof that FedEx picked up the packages to […]

Bwog just saw big name Anthro Comp Lit Prof Spivak slumped against the window next to the bookstore turnstile entrance to Lerner, talking on the payphone (that we didn’t even know existed). Can the world’s foremost translator of Jacques Derrida not afford Verizon? She looked dazed and confused.

Professor Wm. Theodore de Bary, C ’41, beloved octogenarian professor, in Nobility & Civility class: “My ancestors fought in the Crusades, along with Richard the Lionhearted. *pause* As you can see, some of them survived.” His grandfather.

Tao Tan reports: The Alexander Hamilton Medal, an award presented annually to accomplished CC alums at a $600-a-plate dinner, is now available on eBay. As a paperweight.

We wouldn’t have gotten in this year. Why that makes me hungrier than a box full o’ bobcats! Burn shit down! Throw student leaders into the blaze! Ringing in the Spring! Bollinger…hater?

What with the cockroaches, and mice, and bedbugs, Columbia seems to have a real pest control problem. Luckily, Housing is taking care of those sea critters in Hartley the best way they know how. Oil spill! Picture and tip courtesy Mark Holden

Today, the admissions office sent off admissions letters to all those eager Columbia wannabees. Bwog asks the important question: Admission Letter, Where are You?

A Bwog correspondent overheard some kids, probably future Columbians, as they looked at the Steps: Kid #1: Oh my God! How many people are there?! Kid #2: Probably about 50,000. Kid #3: I’d say it’s got to be 100. Yeah, it looks like 100. Kid #2: No, it’s definitely 50,000.

For those with a hankering, Girl Scouts are selling cookies in Lerner from 5-7 pm.

Perfect ending to a sunny day. Free sandwiches of all sorts at the Lerner information desk (by the exit doors). UPDATE—THEY’RE GONE, FOLKS!

Jim Williams reports: A recent event in Noha Radwan’s Contemporary Islamic Civilization lecture causes this Blue and White correspondent to wonder whether certain students are making a feeble attempt to revive Prangstgrüp or whether said students are merely assholes. About 20 minutes into class, a college-aged male who may or may not attend Columbia University […]

63 degree weather brings out the reptile in all of us. Lounge space on the Steps has become as rare as a Butler alcove during finals, and students have taken their readings and conversations to campus’ more obscure perches…let the sun burn away your housing woes, not your lily-white (or brown, or pleasingly tan) skin!

In the spirit of wedding crashers, lonely and ambitous men from the B-School have started crashing SIPA parties–“where the wine flows and the women are beautiful” in an attempt to escape the few and relatively ugly girls of their own school. But wouldn’t these business folks have a tough time handling the liberal ladies of […]

Eric Foner is bad, and I, David Horowitz, am bad ass. Boo yah! In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of the School of General Studies. The trail of tears. Masturbation! Masochism! Cross dressing! Emotionless […]

To those of you new to the game, CCSC elections are hilarious. There’s bitching and back-stabbing and promises and lies, all to win the hearts and minds of a student body that 97% just doesn’t care. Watching the candidates is like watching your little brother throw up before his T-ball game– so much so cutely […]
