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 […]
Community Impact, the university’s largest service organization (and cause for a great schmooze-fest at PrezBo’s mansion last semester) is holding an open house tonight in Earl Hall from 6 pm to 9 pm. They promise copious amounts of free food as well as live music in the lobby, all in the hopes of wooing you […]
Weekends are not for sitting in Butler, slapping phantom bed bugs off your leg! Weekends are for exploring what Columbia and Morningside Heights has to offer–be that alcohol in various guises, or, most importantly, music, art, and theatre! Where Art Thou? is Bwog’s Wednesday feature that gives you a heads-up about that’s going down in […]
Last night, our beloved Heyman Center for the Humanities released its events listing for Fall 2011. Nearly always the source of academic wet dreams, this semester’s series features Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, as well as Columbia history extraordinaire Mark Mazower. Admission is free, open to the public, and first-come, first-served (unless noted). More information on the center’s website. […]
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 Among the treats to look forward to: a litany of bizarre and outdated freshman hazing rituals, a conversation with a luminary […]
It’s that time of year when teams of newly acquainted freshpeople band together and try to come up with the best original pun. Below are the candidates for CCSC 2015 council—there are dozens of eager politicians. We’ve also heard that six candidates live on a single Carman floor, so things should get interesting. Also listed […]
The season of free food (when student groups actually have time to plan and realize their events) is in full swing. Live at Lerner presents a luncheon concert, pairing heaps of foods with the croonings of Jake Snider. For the price of one swipe into Lerner, you can access these things from 12:15 – 1:15. […]
Fact: Bwog’s life goal is to be on Cash Cab. Alas, it was some else’s lucky day. At approximately 7:45pm last night, a tipster spotted the van of dreams outside of NoCo on 119th and Broadway. The Cash Cab has come ’round our fair hood before, but this is the closest we’ve vicariously gotten to the quiz […]
Obama’s new (angsty!) video encourages us to “get the facts.” We’re feeling a back-of-the-envelope calculation coming on… [NYMag] The New York Post and Fox have dusted off their anti-Columbia headlines from 2007, after learning that the Columbia International Relations Council and Association was invited to dinner with the Iranian president. No word yet on whether […]
In the wake of Operation Ivy Leauge three fraternities lost their houses. Bwog asked to AEPi, PsiU and the IGC how life has changed and what they plan for the future. Pike declined to comment. We first sat down with Matthew Renick, President of AEPi. Bwog: How has your recruiting process changed? Our recruiting process is […]
Brief headlines from last nights council meetings. Sean Zimmermann reports from the first Engineering Student Council session: During the summer, recently elected Academic Affairs Representative Huili Zhu notified President Nate Levick that she would not be able to carry out her duties as the Academic Affairs representative in the coming year. The President invited runner […]
