We’re on the homestretch, friends. Just one more week of classes before finals doom! We know work’s piling up, and you’ve got three seminar papers to write and a thesis to finish, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take the time to stop and smell the roses check out some ‘toons. Gotta keep those priorities […]
Though this article refers to real people who live in apartments, the same logic holds true for dorms. Stop buzzing signing in random “Columbia students”—they could be robbing you blind! (City Room) Gamers, don’t let the Man tell you World of Warcraft is lame—it could help you find love. (NYT) A leaked memo from the […]
Bad news for lovers of Hindu festivals that involve people dumping paint one another!

Tonight is CQA’s Last Friday, a drag pageant and First Friday-style dance combo. The drag pageant kicks off at 9:30 pm tonight, and the dance immediately follows at around 11 pm. Tickets for the dance are available through TIC for $5, but there’s an official loophole: anyone who attends the drag pageant can just stay for […]
The new issue of Columbia’s undergraduate literary magazine Quarto is debuting tonight, but faux-high-society snobbery is not all that’s offered. Contributing writers to this issue of the magazine will read their pieces aloud to a crowd of admirers. Meanwhile, munch on some homemade free cookies. There’s even matzah pizza for those limited to unleavened snacks. […]
This is just not Café 212’s week. After being hit with 62 violations in a recent health inspection, the store flooded and has now been closed for “maintenance.” A tipster reports that he saw a man in a face mask and what looked like a mop right outside the store. No word on when it […]
Tonight, you can see a slave become more powerful than the emperor of Rome in an appropriately neoclassical context if you head to the Low Steps at 7:30 pm for a special showing of the classic movie Gladiator. It’s all part of CCSC’s bizarrely road trip-themed College Days, which is now apparently in Hollywood. In addition […]
Columbia and the Navy have “agreed to officially reinstate Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) Program enrollment opportunities at the University.” In a press release sent out today, PrezBo cites the repeal of DADT and the numerous student discussions as reasons for reengaging with ROTC.

GlobeMed is running an Easter Egg Hunt on campus all day today! Find one of the golden eggs hidden around campus and you’ll get a free gift card, which is almost as good as inheriting a magical candy empire.
Flipcams will soon go the way of the Polaroid. Cisco, (not to be confused with Sisqó,) the company that acquired the Flip video cameras in 2009, is now discontinuing Bwog’s favorite handy device. This is crushing news. For without a Flip cam, how could there be a permanent record of Book Culture’s Pomeraniawwww, elevator existentialism, or […]
When the weather sucks, sometimes you need a good comfort food. Bwog’s resident marinara maestro, Matt Powell, found himself craving marinara after a recent monsoon.
