Today, from 4 to 6 pm, Prezbo held a “Garden Party” to celebrate 30 years of Community Impact tutoring children and adults, conducting health outreach, and generally working to improve the community. It was pretty swanky. Waiters who could have doubled as J-Crew models served hors d’œuvres of all kinds. The duck-and-apricot satchels titillated the taste […]
Finals approach. This means you’ll be staying up later. You (hopefully) know both these things. So does Columbia, apparently. With this in mind, here are just a few place which have extended their hours for heavily sighing, red-eyed scholars. Mention any we missed in the comments. HamDel will be open 24/7, instead of the regular […]
Just when you thought the lawns were yours… Facilities is apparently covering South Field with mats of “hard, flexible plastic” that are more durable than a standard tarp. Bwog speculates that they may be attempts at damage control for Bacchanal which, due to Columbia being Columbia, has been moved to South Field.
Bwog’s Wednesday feature, Where Art Thou?, is here to keep you posted on what’s going on in the A&E department in Morningside Heights and beyond (basically all the cool events your friends are in/on/at). If your club is bringing Snoop to Columbia, and you want it posted on Bwog, now you can make it happen! […]
McAC will be serving up free sno cones on Lehman Walk from 4-6 pm! If it rains, the event will be moved to the Diana. That’s kind of funny, because if it rains then there is no point to sno cones! Fruit punch via Wikimedia Commons
Just you and that map near the 115th Street gates by Lerner—the one you haven’t looked at since it was NSOP when your parents left through that gate and you almost started crying, kind of like when James Blunt got stoned and stared at that chick on the subway. Pick-me-up by Mike Rady, CC ’13
Out on the sundial CURTalented is having a show. There was some music, and apparently Learned was doing stand-up! Text 99000 to vote. And you should vote, even if you know nothing about the contestants. Because it’s your duty.
Bwog’s resident Boy Archer Zach Kagan paid a visit to the Archery Club and learned a thing or two about shooting arrows. Arms straight. Bow extended, resting under the chin. The string touches the nose. Muscles relax. Eyes on the target. And then: let go. The enthusiastic archers at Columbia’s Archery Club have a Zen-like philosophy when […]
Seniors! Time is running out, and bleachers are going up! We know you’re feeling nostalgic, sitting on the steps, and soaking up the sun. Senior Wisdom is imminent, but we thought we’d give some you advice as well as receive it. Bwog once again presents (hyperlinks) the shenanigans we highly recommend getting under your belt […]
Obama releases his birth certificate. The Guardian LIVEBLOGS IT. (The Guardian) Trump’s actual election chances are not good. (NYMag) A hacker got information of 77 million people who play online videogames through Sony’s Playstation. (WSJ) Atheists want to become chaplains in the military. (NYT) Cops foil the Westboro Baptist Church, probably illegally. (Gawker) NYC tries […]
Sean Zimmermann reports: Since 1994, first-year Columbia engineers have taken Gateway Lab, formally “ENGI E1102: Design fundamentals using the advanced computer technologies.” But starting next year with the Class of 2015, Gateway will cease to exist in its current form. Bwog has learned that starting in Fall 2011, instead of Gateway, freshmen engineers will take […]
