All the cool kids have been talking about the mandatory freshman P/D/F policy that’s circling the administration rounds, waiting to become official mandate. The Spec editorial board has officially endorsed the policy, and Bwog’s official classroom/dorm room census has heard opinions ranging from ecstatic to furious. To throw in our two cents to the conversation, […]
Quite possibly, a virgin sacrifice to the great god Cthulhu is occurring at 8 p.m. tonight in the Hamilton lobby. We can only hope the building infrastructure won’t be too badly harmed when he rises up from his slumber of millennia to wreak destruction upon the earth. All hail From Wikipedia: “In The Call of […]
BuzzFeed confirmed every Columbian’s pre-existing opinion: we’re hot, and brains we’ve got. We’re the 5th sexiest, smartest college in the nation, actually, right behind Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton, and UPenn, weighting equally the laboratory-confirmed DateMySchool hotness index and Forbes’ college rankings that place us at #8, behind Williams and the U.S. Military Academy. What could be off about […]
It’s been almost a week since our beloved purveyor of malt beverages closed, and so far it has yet to reopen.* Crack Del dutifully served as a precious resource for all freshmen and we not only mourn the loss of a neighborhood staple, but the experience the Class of 2017 will miss, the joy of […]
“I’m glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song; seems like we just got started and then before you know it, the times we had together were gone.”–Dr. Seuss or Carol Burnett or whoever. Someone definitely had the right idea, so go to one of these arts events—compiled by the […]
It’s that time of year, when bitches will go crazy, you will end up bringing your therapeutic Christmas Tree to Butler, and you might say something like: “I cried yesterday because I got the wrong cream cheese in Ferris.” Paula Deen has never led Bwog astray, so we recommend butter. And tips. Your new Advising […]
Want to go to a “place of summery goodness” without leaving campus? That place is Live at Lerner’s final event of the year, where you can munch on a free lunch (summer garden salad, vegetable pasta, lemonade, and cookies), get a back rub from Stressbusters, watch a video of a beach, and plant and take home […]
Hey seniors: don’t graduate without crossing this off your bucket lists–one of Spec’s favorite hobbies! (Spectator, The Blue and White) If you see this frankenfish in Central Park, you should kill it before it eats your babies homework. (DEC, NY Mag) Obama’s to-do list: close Guantánamo Bay. “Why are we doing this?” (NY Times) Spectator’s advice […]
Our senior wisdoms will be running every night — and maybe even more often than that — for the next few weeks, so keep coming back to get your knowledge fix. Tonight: Evan Welber, mustached master. Name, Hometown, School: Evan Welber, Coral Springs, FL, CC Claim to fame? I still haven’t managed to raze memories […]
Bwog sent Literature Lover Zach Hendrickson to check out LitHum’s 75 birthday party. LH@75 (otherwise known as #LitHum75 #technology #coreofmyexistence #giveusyourmoney #we’re hip #hashtags) was an event that simultaneously acknowledged the frailty of a liberal arts education in today’s world while affirming its position as a vital institution at Columbia and the world at large. […]
Facilities can be a cruel God, but today they have deigned to answer our prayers. Bwog is ecstatic to report that the Earl Hall Gate (117th Street and Broadway) and the Chapel Gate (117th Street and Amsterdam Avenue) will remain open until 10:00 p.m. on weekdays. No longer will students who live above 116th have […]
Have you seen the posters around campus telling you to go see this mysterious “Cymbeline,” and wondered what in the world that means? Have you seen groups of people in the Hartley Courtyard in elaborate hats, speaking what you think is English and wondered where that tour group is from? Put those two phenomena together […]
