Exciting things happen in this big wide-world, and sometimes they are Columbia related. Bwoglines is a daily compilation of staff favorites and student tips. For this, the first Bwoglines of the year, we present news that didn’t find a place in any post over the Summer. We don’t usually have the attention span to slog […]

“SEAS” is no more. It really is “CE” now. After meeting many bright enthusiastic new faces yesterday at the publications meet and greet, we felt a little pang in our hearts when we got home and had a chance to look through some of our sign-up sheet. Guess it’s best to get ’em while they’re still […]
A group of men dressed in kilts were playing bagpipes outside Engine 47. The music echoed gloriously down the whole block. Bystanders explained they were practicing for the 9/11 anniversary next weekend. We found the whole thing very moving. Definitely worth stopping by.
The pre-school free food continues! Currently in the lobby of Broadway residence hall there are two large tubs of ice cream along with a couple of smaller Ben & Jerry mini-tubs. Have at it! Update: Apparently there are events in Ruggles and Schapiro as well—three cheers! Happiness via Wikimedia Commons

The USenate’s Student Affairs Committee (SAC) released a statement yesterday supporting Professor James Valentini’s appointment as Interim Dean. In case you’re a little hazy on your Senate background, the mandate of the SAC is to advise on “matters of University-wide student concerns, and to concerns of students in more than one faculty or school.” Their comment […]
It’s the inaugural free food post! On this sweltering day, the good people at Hillel invite you to beat the heat, and join them for slushies in the gorgeous Kraft Center on 115th St. between Broadway and Riverside from 1-3pm. Free food neophytes, you can almost survive a whole week at Columbia never paying for […]
As you freshpeople look forward to the next four years, seniors are anticipating their last. Whatever they’ve been through during their time at Columbia, one questions plagues them more than any other: if you had to give up either oral sex or cheese for the rest of you life, what would you choose? Rajib Mitra, […]
Two cars collided a short while ago near Amsterdam and 105th, and there were reports of a loud bang and a fire afterward. The fire is out now after a quick response from the FDNY and everybody has been removed from the wreck, but you may have still smelled the thick smoke.
Bwog is proud to participate in the grand tradition of hand-shaking and how-de-doos that is the first week of college. We’ll be amongst the publications, meetin’ ‘n’ greetin’ from 5:30 to 6:30 in the Satow Room on Lerner 5. No resumés required! Honor via Wikimedia
