Tonight’s second Senior Wisdom: Michael, who’s heading back to the woods, and remembers a very very important Columbia graduation requirement involving the stacks. Name, Hometown, School: Michael, Wayland, MA, CC Claim to fame? When the weather’s nice I like to sit on the steps at night and play music. Sometimes people stop and listen, which […]
After a week of campus imploding in nearly every way possible (still waiting on a legitimate protest of anything, though) in the midst of finals, Bwog thinks we all need a moment to give into that tingly feeling in the pit of your stomach, lean your head back, and just scream. That’s right, tonight is […]
The final, May, issue of The Blue and White is on campus just in time for finals. Inside is an interview with Greta Gerwig, BC ’06; the final installment of a series on undergraduate student debt at Columbia; as well as a look at ROTC, years after the controversy. Issues are in Butler and Lerner; PDFs are online. Here, senior editor Will Holt, CC […]
Today fro 5-7 pm in the “main lounge” (we’re not sure either) of Lerner, there will be free apps provided by Lerner Operations–“and not the kind you download,” proving they’re hip with the kids. With any luck, these treats will include buffchick wings, mozz stix, and tons of fruits&veggies. No word on the presence of […]
Today’s first Senior Wisdom: Andrea Garcia Vargas of C.U. in Bed fame, who reminds you to take care of yourself and reveals a certain secret room in Butler. Name, Hometown, School: Andrea García-Vargas; Bogotá, Colombia; Columbia College. Claim to fame? I was the 2012 Spec editorial page editor and then went on to write an […]
You may have realized that Bwog is secretly a huge opera fan. So when this question landed in our tip form, we were more than happy to find the answer. Dear Bwog, I just heard WKCR is doing a 48 hour broadcast to commemorate Wagner’s bicentennial in a week and a half. Can somebody please […]
Bwoglines: Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a giant dollhouse? Neither have we but too bad. (Yahoo) Finals Tip: Practice self control. Procrastinate: Relive childhood memories (with the added benefit of zombies) and watch as Ryan Gosling won’t eat cereal. (Organ Trail, Buzzfeed) Overseen: Look on the bright side!
And now for the first of our very own graduating seniors: David Hu, former Bwog managing editor, who does some ambiguous, then not so ambiguous, admiring. Name, Hometown, School: David Hu, Virginia Beach, SEAS Claim to fame? Managing Editor of this Bwog thing for a year. I might have helped you draw on Low or […]
The final issue of The Blue and White is on campus just in time to offer perfect procrastination fodder. You’ll find an interview with Greta Gerwig, BC ’06; a critical look at TFA; and the final installment of a series on undergraduate student debt at Columbia. Scour Butler or Lerner for a copy, or check it out […]
This semester’s Orgo Night was slightly less, ah, hyped than the last, but was still a great respite from the tension on campus throughout this week. Freshman daily editor Zachary Hendrickson tried to get a comprehensive grasp on the tradition. I think it’s important to start by saying that I have close friends in the […]
In our continuing coverage of the rooms you’re reading this in, we bring you that room up on the fourth floor of Butler, the George and Jesse Siegel Reading Room. Ah, the fourth floor of Butler: just high enough that you’ll sweat if you take the stairs and you’ll feel slightly guilty if you take […]
Ivan Lupic, who will be receiving his Ph.D. from Columbia this semester before blasting off to be a real professor at Stanford, has largely been identified as the Lit Hum instructor who passed out the pages for the ID passages.
