It began innocently enough. The Columbia International Relations Council and Association (CIRCA, formerly known as Model UN) announced to their members that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (who gave a speech at Columbia in 2007), in town for the United Nations General Assembly, had invited them to a dinner on September 21st (the logistics of this […]
We’ve all been rejoicing at the sight of green flags on the lawns outside Butler lately, but Bwog was much less pleasantly surprised to find a similar hue within the building. Water of a somewhat sickly shade was spotted in a fountain on the 5th floor last night. Not only that, but it appears there […]
Keep your eyes open for the September issue of The Blue & White, coming soon to campus. Until then, Bwog will honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting highlights of the upcoming issue online. Among the treats to look forward to: a litany of bizarre and outdated freshman hazing rituals, a conversation with a luminary on DIY […]
Several score and a couple of years ago, state conventions ratified the highly experimental United States Constitution. This revered document is responsible both for the framework of our government and stopping Arnold Schwarzenegger from running for president. To commemorate this special day, you can pick up a free pocket version of the Constitution at the […]

Update, 12:12pm: Multiple tipsters have spotted filming on 116th as well. New TV show Modern Love is filming a pilot on 113th St. this morning. Last night, all the cars remaining on the street were being ticketed, and most likely towed. The show seems to be something like Sex and the City meets the New […]
The only man to hold a degree in enigmatology (study of puzzles) makes sure you have a new puzzle in the New York Times every day. (The Atlantic) Joan Snitzer, a Barnard art prof, opened up a new art exhibition. It contains jigsaw boxes, and is itself is a puzzle. (Spectator) The high school class […]
Registration for the World Leaders Forum opens tomorrow morning at 10 am! When it comes to anything involving Sundial, “you snooze, you lose.” Or rather, “by the time the page refreshes, it’s already full.” But if you don’t play you can’t win. For the unknowing, the World Leaders Forum is a star-studded lecture series that […]
Bwog’s Chief Muckraker, Sarah Ngu, stopped by the CCSC Policy meeting, where things really happen. She looked through her crystal ball, and this is what she saw. This year’s policy committee mostly consists of the same faces from last year’s, so the question arises, “What’s going to change under the new leadership of Ryan Cho?” […]
The good people at West Side Rag compiled an interactive map of the 32 openings and closings that have gone down in the Upper West Side over the course of the last month. Sadly, the only two newcomers this map cuts off above 96th street, thus the only two newcomers listed within 20 blocks of the 116th gates […]

They promise copious amounts of free food as well as live music in the lobby, all in the hopes of wooing you […]
