Columbia’s Tiny Electric Car

By Bwog Staff on Aug 13, 2009 20 Comments

An anonymous tipster sent us a picture of what the tipster says is Columbia’s new BMW electric Mini. The car, unveiled last November, is part of a limited run of 450 cars distributed in New York, New Jersey, and California. The 204-horsepower electric motor gets 150 miles out of a 4.5 hour charge. Unfortunately for […]

Say, do you have a fondness or aptitude for illustrating? The Blue and White is currently on the prowl for a new regime of talented artists.

DessertTruck Suddenly Shuttered

By Bwog Staff on Aug 10, 2009 10 Comments

The brainchild of two former Business School students, DessertTruck has rapidly grown in popularity since it first started its engine in late 2007. The (surprisingly reasonably priced) mobile pastry truck has roamed the streets during the day (making its way up to Columbia from time to time), and hangs out at St. Mark’s at night, […]

Consent is…Corporate

By Bwog Staff on Aug 07, 2009 15 Comments

We owe ya one, Mayor Bloomberg! A faithful Lerner-roaming tipster noticed what looks to be a new NYC Condom dispenser in Lerner’s 5th floor SDA complex. There seems to be a sign above the contraption with an arrow pointing directly below, indicating that free condoms can be obtained here. Good thing they clarified, ’cause we […]

Your First Back-To-School Sign

By Bwog Staff on Aug 04, 2009 31 Comments

The leaning tower of Lit Hum boxes has arrived! A word of advice to 2013: first-years who actually buy these books new are fools. Go for many, many sources of used books, and thank us later – that is, unless the increased demand inflates prices, in which case 2012 can thank us instead. We’re flexible. […]

News Jews Can Use

By Bwog Staff on Jul 30, 2009 9 Comments

Now that’s a rhyme. Really though, two items of interest to our Chosen friends have made it into the ol’ inbox (full disclosure: Bwog’s current editor is a Papist). First, the lost amongst you no longer have to rely on your wandering skills to find the nearest synagogue. Columbia students Ron Gejman and Jacob Andreas […]

Philosophers Argue About Journal of Philosophy

By Bwog Staff on Jul 27, 2009 9 Comments

The Journal of Philosophy, run and published by Columbia’s philosophy department, has been around in one form or another for more than a century, and it is certainly an important part of the university’s reputation: PrezBo’s a trustee of the journal. But the Internet Age is leading to criticism of the journal’s editorial process. Most […]
