Name, Hometown, School, Major: Jeff Stern, Los Angeles, California, CC’ 12, Film Claim to Fame? I’m another guy who successfully transferred to Columbia from a school in California, and once the admissions office used me for a photo shoot for the “Blue Book” but settled on a picture where all you can see is the back of […]
PSA: If you’re one of the poor souls still trudging on through the deep abyss of exams, please try to make it to your bed tonight—in part for your mental/physical health, but primarily ’cause Bwog finished last night, and we don’t want to have to post another series of these!
Yesterday, Columbia issued $100 million worth of 30-year bonds. Apparently the lack of AAA rated investments made our debt a particularly hot commodity. (Bloomberg) Many of you who have started packing to move out may have realized that you have a ton more shit than they really need, and sometimes your extra crap finds its […]
Name, Hometown, School, Major: Zach Levine, Fresno, California, CC, Anthropology Claim to Fame? Columbia’s gayest salutatorian since George Stephanopoulos. Sarah Camiscoli’s daughter. Really-wrote a thesis that is pretend-entitled “The Gayest Miracle.” Pretend-wrote a real porno entitled “The Gayest Miracle.” Columbia’s most confusing salutatorian. Where are you going? New York. My parents aren’t paying for me to fly home […]
Columbia’s got some of all the world’s most talented people, including but not limited to those guys who can/do eat literally four Wilma’s burgers in a sitting. Bwog caught up with GS freshman Tamar Mardirossian, whose singing talent has scored her lots of attention, an EP, “California,” coming out June 19th on iTunes, and this […]
Hi, it’s us again. Just reminding you that the fair folks over at Carsplit are here to make your imminent (it’s closer than it feels like, we swear!) departure a tad more pleasant. If you’re heading to JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark to catch a flight in the next couple days, Carsplit offers you a chance […]
Today from 4 ’til 8 pm, watch wide-eyed from your street-facing Nussbaum suite as the kinda shitty weather separates Columbia’s free food warriors from the fair-weather free snackers. Häägen-Dazs, purveyor of fancy ice cream and even fancier spellings, will be giving out one free scoop/cone to all those who dare brave the wait. It should go […]
The slightly-more-suavely named Give and Go Green is happening! Now! Out on College Walk! It will take place today through Friday from noon until 4 pm. They accept “non-perishable food, clothing in good condition, kitchenware, appliances, linens, accessories, books, small furniture, computers, and toiletries,” so bring your stuff on over. Plus, it’s less to store […]
As exams begin to wind down, Bwog advocatus diaboli John Sarlitto defends what has been making your life a living hell since Friday: the in-class final. “How many finals do you have?” you might hear someone ask in those heady twilight moments of the semester, before the darkness and the shadows truly set in. A […]
…on 4/20. Anna Bahr details her journey below. Read this and more in the May issue of The Blue & White, right on the tail of the April issue, on campus this week. As admitted freshman pare down their college choices in late April, arbitrary details become critical factors in the decision making process. Remember […]
Worrying about childhood obesity may be all the rage now, but the first clinic to treat it opened at Columbia way back in 1930. (Newsweek) Gac Filipac, a custodian at Columbia, spent 20 years taking night morning classes for a Classics degree from GS. On Sunday, he’ll finally graduate—with honors! Then it’s grad school application […]
