According to several tipsters, hordes of prospective Columbians—whom our super scientific guestimations put somewhere between 4 and 6 years old—have been spotted amassing on and around Low steps, and in front of Butler. They’re tiny. They’re adorable. Pink puffer jackets abound. One such youngster was overheard making an astute observation outside Butler: “Every kind of […]
The admissions staff is shipping the acceptance letters out to the Class of 2016 high school seniors. As per tradition, they are out on college walk marching boxes of letters into the shipping trucks. Admissions will be posted online tonight at 5 pm. Freak out, high schoolers!

It may not be JSachs, but Columbia does in fact have a World Bank presidential candidate. (Bloomberg) Kate McKinnon, CC’06, is rumored to be joining the SNL cast, adding to our growing list of alums on the comedy show. Let’s hope she doesn’t fuck it up. (Vulture) Turns out the weird guy in the Batman […]
In what you can’t prove definitively was an attempt to procrastinate this past Sunday night, we searched high and Low (get it?) to get our hands on a copy of The King’s Spear’s very first issue.

It looks like Columbia will no longer be exclusively serving Deantinis—at least until April 15. PrezBo sent out an e-mail about an hour ago announcing the formation of a committee to select the next Dean of Columbia College. As Deantini is currently the Interim Dean, he will almost definitely be in the running. PrezBo has “limit[ed] […]
We at Bwog are big on celebrations—or anything that involves party hats, really. So when a tipster spotted the following sign outside Mel’s, we couldn’t help but wonder who exactly “The Boss” is (Bruce himself?) and whether or not we’re invited… Although we were initially disappointed to find out that the party isn’t in honor […]
Big schedule changes are in the pipes for Fall 2012, Columbia. Bottom line is that 8:40 am lectures and 8:00 am sections will exist. Today’s email from the Registrar is after the jump.

In this installment of TA interviews, Alexandra Svokos sat down with Carlos Montes-Galdón, a Macroeconomics TA for Xavier Sala-i-Martin who opens emails to students with a “Happy hangover kids!” on Sundays, ended last semester’s last email with a happy image, and dedicates ridiculous amounts of time to making great notes. Bwog: How do you like TA life? […]
