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.

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 […]

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 Among the treats to look forward to: a litany of bizarre and outdated freshman hazing rituals, a conversation with a luminary […]

Also listed […]
