The Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid sent Bwog some information regarding the Early Decision applications for CC and SEAS, for the Fall 2014 school year. This year, Undergraduate Admissions received 3,296 Early Decision applications to Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, which was a […]
5 Pointz in Long Island City, Queens, was literally whitewashed yesterday. Fuck you, the man. (NY Daily News) So as you all know, there was talk about raising the tobacco-buying age to 21. It isn’t just talk. Fuck you, the man. (Huffington Post) What the fucking fuck fuck? Fuck you the man(s). (Yahoo) Wait. This […]
Yesterday, Bwog received tips that there was a mouse auditing a social psychology and political science class in 501 Schermerhorn. Senior Staff Writer Alexander Pines brings you this recollection of the events from the mouse’s perspective. This wouldn’t have happened if Schermerhorn was a normal building, not some House of Leaves shit. I saw a […]
Remember back a few weeks ago when all hell broke loose, the end of the world was nigh, and chunks of ceiling started collapsing in Mcbain? After reaching out to housing to ask some questions, the Executive Director of Communications for facilities, Dan Held, sent this statement. Ceiling debris issues are fairly uncommon; this year […]
At last night’s IGC meeting, the Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life announced that Columbia’s ZBT has lost its original charter from the national organization, as reported originally by The Lion. It’s unclear why this happened, or whether it’s related to the hazing incident or the Ivy League Championships celebration party that caused them to lose […]
There are two free food events today, and Bwog wants to attend both, too. Thanks to plenty of tips, the first is at 9:00pm tonight in the Dodge Room of Earl Hall: The Columbia Neuroscience Society will be hosting a talk with Dr. Carl Hart. There was recently a New York Times article about him […]
Because Bwog occasionally likes to dabble in the fine arts, we sent Claire Friedman, Lord of the Dance, to check out the CoLab fall showcase this past weekend. If I had to sum up my feelings regarding CoLab 2013 in a few words, I would probably say, “wow….wait, what?” While the dancing itself was incredible, […]
It wouldn’t be a Columbia semester without a tiny yet massively confusing administration change. In an email sent out just yesterday by Kathryn B. Yatrakis, Dean of Academic Affairs, Columbia College students found out that as of the Spring 2014 semester, the “UW” grade will no longer exist and the “W” will be introduced. Apparently […]
Barnard students have been puzzled for about a week by the presence of a large, ugly white tent right inside the gates. What is Barnard hiding? A fissure leading straight to the center of the earth? An uprising of mole people? Bwog snuck a photo through a crack between the tarps… They’re putting a sweet […]
Last Wednesday afternoon, Columbia Law Professor Eben Moglen gave the third lecture in his four-part series, entitled The Union, May it Be Preserved. Watch or read it for yourself here. Privacy Pundit Maud Rozee was in attendance. Moglen continued his tradition of opening with a song with The Ballad of John Henry. Then he addressed […]
A friend accidentally received a New York DL for ”Maxwell Kaplan” from the guards at EC instead of his own ID. If you’re Max from Mt. Sinai or know him, please let me know! ajt2143@columbia.edu
Last week, we were contacted by a Princeton 2012 alum about Hillflint, a “collegiate sweater line” he started for the Ivy League. We checked out the website, made jokes about the pictures of what’s supposed to be the Ivy experience, scoffed at the pretentiousness in the assumption that people will know your school based solely […]
