While most of us were getting fat and watching football (or just getting fat), the Columbia Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams were hard at work, each earning their first wins of the season on the road over the weekend. With the fall season in the past and winter sports well under way, being a Columbia […]
We know we’ve been making you all a little panicky by bringing it to your attention that the end of days is nigh, and sure it sucks that we only got to fit in a few games of football-watching over break, but it could be worse. It doesn’t have to be so nice and warm […]
As November gives its dying breaths and the not-so-cold weather rolls in, why don’t you take some time this evening to set aside your work and join the staff of the Blue & White as we discuss articles for next issue and beyond, make clever jokes, and munch on the finest of treats? If you […]
Just because Thanksgiving Break is over and you’ve left the bottomless bounty of free family cooking behind doesn’t mean you can’t be provided with any more sweets gratis. Ambulate to Lerner 555 tonight at 7:30 pm to find red velvet cupcakes and a bunch of free swag (t-shirts, buttons, and stickers, we hear) at the World […]
Barnard Dean Avis Hinkson has released the following email to Barnard students commenting on last week’s Occupy CU congregation at Barnard. She writes that, “Barnard Public Safety did not lock down the campus or attempt to prevent the assembly from taking place.” This contradicts claims made by Occupy CU that a “lockdown” took place at Barnard Hall.

Louis XIV may have sported some pretty high stilettos (thanks for the cocktail party fodder, Core Curriculum), but at least he had the courtesy not to stomp around the Ref Room. Heel Hater Meriam Raouf profiles that Butler Archetype whose sharp clicks down the marble hallway are turning your hair gray. It’s Sunday night. You’ve […]
Bwog fell asleep at 8pm on Thanksgiving (and last night….oops), and was determined to find out why. Assuming those after-meal droopy eyes had something to do with science (the idea of a god of food comas was dismissed after much discussion), we set Bwogsleuth Zach Kagan on the trail. Here he presents a roundup of […]
As many of our interviewees will attest, Bwog loves to invade personal space. Professors’ offices are no exception to our clear ignorance of social cues. This week, Senior Surfing Specialist Briana Last stalked checked out Anthropology Professor Paige West’s sweetest of digs. If you know of any other hop-worthy offices, send ’em our way at […]
And so it begins. With the final weeks of class upon us, we’re less than a month away from the time of great mayhem and malnourishment that is finals at Columbia (also the most festive and happy time of the year for the world beyond the bubble). Thus, we present our first sightings of the […]
The Occupiers are getting feisty. Last night an email was sent out from their alias (which shows up as “Lee Bollinger”) to the offices of Dean Hinkson, President Spar, President Bollinger, and various contacts from Jezebel, Gawker, Gothamist, and the New York Times, demanding an explanation from the administration for the increased police presence during […]
Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. Our recommendations for this week are below and the full list is after the jump. Recommended “Governing the World: The Rise and Fall of an […]
This year’s Black Friday sales set a new record for shopper splurging. Unfortunately, it turns out Black Friday isn’t home to the season’s lowest prices. Wal-Mart strikes again! (Bloomberg, NYT) Egyptians are heading to the polls today for the first time since they forced Hosni Mubarak out of power, but clashes with current military leader […]
