So the storefronts of Morningside Heights have been doing quite a bit of changing recently. What with Cardomat folding in exchange for new health-food restaurant Dig Inn Citibank catching fire (real fire, not Columbia dorm fire drill fire) Vareli giving up its Domain name (ha, get it?) Crumbs being on its way out we don’t […]
Ferris has made some upgrades over break and they are literally life-changing. No, not the staircase. They’ve given us some swanky new tables and room to breathe by adding new bar areas. So now, on your way to get more triangle hash browns, you’ll only crash into four people and knock over two bags. The downside? If you […]
CCSC’s Uchechi Iteogu, Co-Chair of the Capital Investment Fund, just announced the fund’s grant winners for this year. Six clubs made the cut, out of eleven applications, and a total of $11, 235 was awarded. The four undergraduate student councils created the Capital Investment fund in September 2012 to help clubs with high equipment costs […]
Yesterday, Columbia’s Journalism School inadvertently flooded the inboxes of hundreds of media members after an invitation to Columbia’s Career Expo turned into a chain of shared emails. Every reply of “get me off this list”, “stop sending emails asking to get off this list” and “lololololol” went out to everyone the Journalism School had invited […]
Firefighters have been at the Citibank on 111th and Broadway since approximately 5:20am when a fire broke out. As of 12 pm firefighters are still on scene working to put out the flames.

Things have been happening in the wide world while Columbia students are still hibernating on break. Here are some Columbia-related things you might have missed. Columbia is trying to beat Chicago to erect a Barack Obama library. However, plans for a Prezbo library are pure speculation. (Chicago Business) The Dean of Advising for Columbia College […]
Bwog is still waiting on a few grades, and judging by the comments, you are too. But it might not be entirely your professor’s fault: according to an email sent out to 1007 students by Prof. John Kender, Columbia’s grading system is more than 30 years old. Columbia processes grades by using a system that […]
A new year, a new perspective. Today we take a moment to look back on the first half of the year and think on what’s to come. If last fall was about exploring how we talk, this past semester was about putting our learned lessons to use. With no massive scandal or campus-wide debate abyss, […]
Registration for spring Panhellenic formal recruitment ended on Wednesday at midnight, and now PNMs (Potential New Members) will wait until early February to start the stressful four-day process. For the next month, they’ll search for the one sorority of the five that fits them best. In the interim, current sisters will try to represent their […]
A resident on the second floor of Broadway left a window open—yes, for all of break—which reportedly caused a pipe to burst, which caused a big spill. Public Safety confirmed that they are in there, trying to clean things up. The pipe burst an hour ago, btw. We hope your room won’t be flooded if […]
