Get smart, children. Name, School: Sara Schilling, CC Claim to fame: I’ve been a part of COÖP, CAVA, and Youth for Debate and am an exceedingly fast-talker, but hopefully, it’s mostly for being friendly. Where are you going? Home to a lake in northern Minnesota until August, then to Chile for a year to work […]
The Core asks you some tough, tough questions. Because we aren’t overachieving enough, the Center for the Core Curriculum decided to instate the Core Scholars Program earlier this year. Finally, the announcement has been made, and the wait’s over: We now know and envy the names of the winners of the $200 cash prizes and […]
We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue & White by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is a cornucopia of delights: an interview with Dean Peter Awn; the quixotic quest for a Quidditch team; and a reflection on Columbia’s recent media malaise. In Campus Characters, the Blue & White introduces […]
Another illustrious senior shares his wisdom with the foolish masses. Name, school: Raphael Pope-Sussman, Columbia College Claim to fame: I’m the Audacity of Pope. I have the highest IQ: testicle ratio at Columbia. Plus Lance Armstrong once tweeted at me. I’m a former Spec copy editor, former humor editor and lead story editor for The […]
Free food always makes things better! Be sure to go to the Lerner Ramps from 3 to 5pm for free ice cream from ΛΦΕ. They promise “FREE MONSTER” as well, and we’re hoping they mean the energy drink. Also on the Ramps til 4pm today are Students For Education Reform, promising free food too… double […]
Despite today’s icky weather, the sun is certainly alive and well—just hidin’ behind a few clouds. This means you’ve still gotta keep your skin safe from those nasty UV rays! SPF it up! But in case you’ve been neglecting your skin, the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour is offering free, full-body skin […]
Get wise with yet another senior. Name, School: Sarah Dooley, BC Claim to fame: I’m that girl who spilled mustard all over her shoes while you were getting free food in the Piano Lounge. If that’s not it, then good, I was lying, and my real answer is the 114th Varsity Show, singing/songwriting/ripping off Regina Spektor, […]
But it’s also real life. The giant rat at the 116th gates is tended by a man distributing these flyers about Columbia’s offensive labor standards. He didn’t seem too impassioned. He asked Bwog where he could get cigarettes and a sandwich and was duly pointed towards HamDel.
The Times takes a look at the reaction to bin Laden’s death on college campuses across the country, inquiring into “Millennial” generation identities along the way. Jon Lee Anderson compares bin Laden’s secretive killing and burial to those of another charismatic enemy of the state, Che Guevara. (New Yorker) Finals are making you miserable and […]
Inspired by everyone’s favorite pastime and last month’s events, we’ve created a nifty tool to help you visualize what campus would feel like if you were around in 1931 and helped guide the design of Butler and shape Columbia history. Instructions: Click on the inscription below to edit it. For proper spacing, we recommend using […]
Seniors we shall miss you! At least their wisdom will be enshrined on Bwog. Name, School: Ian Kwok, CC 2011 Claim to fame: I’m that guy who shows up to every free food event no matter how little I know about the event/organization. (So yes, I’m a moocher, but it’s better than letting good food […]
