Scary stuff. Public Safety just warned the Columbia community that a little after midnight last night, two students were robbed while walking through Morningside Park. The two were approached by five or six males, one of which showed the students his gun. Here’s the full report: On April 30, 2012 at about 12:18 a.m. two […]
It’s that time of year again. CC Seniors get a chance to look dapper in their black tie apparel and eat a selection of delectable, and sometimes questionable, platter of upscale food. The event, hosted by Student Affairs, begins at 8 pm and takes place on South Lawn. CC ’12, make sure to look the […]
The oft-deleted weekly CCE email from Niamh (pronounced “Neev”; it’s Irish) O’Brien contained a special surprise today—a shout-out to the 118th Varsity Show, in which she was sharply parodied by Rebekah Lowin, CC ’14, as a scheming villain who changed the Core into a series of classes on unethical businesses for future I-bankers and consultants. […]
Despite one Columbians’ efforts to save precious reading material/most students’ midnight snack cutting boards, some of us seem to be done with our books before the semester is even over. A shot of the corner of 113th and Broadway is proof:

It’s BwogSalon, a feature in which we get a chance to look at other Columbia publications for more procrastination material and the fantastic work they are doing. Today, we’re exploring What is Global Health? (WiGH?), a science philosophy podcast and digital publication. Check out the fancy pants podcast’s last episode called “Game Changers,” which features Christia […]
This isn’t some event attempting to spruce up your eyelashes, but if you make it to the Van Am Quad between 12 to 1 pm today, you can snag lip balm among other free giveaways to remake your look in time for Finals. The SDA is providing free drawstring sports packs, flyers, sunscreen, water bottles, […]
A photograph of PrezBo’s face lands itself on Wikipedia’s homepage as the featured picture of the day. He appears pensive and distinguished—concerned about the Core, financial aid, and diversity all at once—while his coif remains perfectly intact. Ain’t he a beaut?
It’s the last day of classes and as much you’d like to convince yourself that you’re going to start studying for finals, there is drinking to be done. Live it up while you can as some sketchy Department of Health reports indicate that there may no longer be Happy Hour in our big and bright […]

Name, Hometown, School, Major: Peter Wallerson, Brooklyn NY, SEAS Biomedical Engineering Claim to Fame: Hotel Rwanda, Crash, Ocean’s Eleven, Brooklyn’s Finest, most recently House of Lies… But really though, the other day I went to see Seminar on Broadway (got Alan Rickman’s autograph and it was awesome, but […]
SPEARS: The Gospel According to Britney, Pat Blute’s musical which professed to pair The Greatest Story Ever Told with The Greatest Music Ever Written, ran for the last time at 8 pm last night, in Barnard’s Glicker-Milstein Theatre. Conor Skelding went. On the jaded Columbia campus, SPEARS’s premise – using the music of Britney Spears to […]
