– “Columbia,” the pre-feminism female personification of America, and where Columbia’s name comes from As the coda to today’s various Columbus Day posts, we present a column from Andrea Peyser of the New York Post, who is NOT HAPPY that Columbia is having classes today. Her words in bold, our thoughts in between. I wish […]
Dear Friends: Please join the staff of The Blue and White and the Bwog at our meeting tonight, happening at 9:30 PM in the basement of St. Paul’s Chapel. First-years and new writers/artists/editors are especially welcome and encouraged to attend. We’ll be planning our upcoming November issue and mapping out content for the magazine and […]
While we’re down here celebrating Columbus’s discovery of the New World and decrying the subsequent effects on indigenous people, our neighbors to the North are celebrating something a little different. No, Ithaca didn’t get a Chipotle yet… it’s Canadian Thanksgiving! Every second Monday of October since 1957, Canadians have been gathering ’round to give thanks […]
It’s Columbus Day, and what better way to celebrate the holiday that’s an I and an A off from our Alma Mater than getting free stuff? Head over to Low Plaza from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for a free dinosaur barbeque put on by CU College Republicans. Whatever your political stance is on Columbus […]
Dear readers, As you may know, Columbia’s gotten a few new bigwigs this semester, and for the first time, the administration’s letting us interview them. Yep, next week, we will be interviewing Provost Claude Steele, CC Dean Michelle Moody-Adams, and SEAS Dean Feniosky Pena-Mora. But rather than entrust the questions to our own journalistic abilities, […]
Good news–it’s Monday and the city’s subway system is returning to normal operations after the MTA decided it was a good idea to repair 18 of its 20 lines at once this past weekend. (NYT) More shocking news as a new study released by the American Mustache Institute reveals that men with mustaches earn more […]
It’s that time of year again. Fraternities are currently dressing their pledges in suits and making them yell animal noises in Butler 209. It’s embarrassing! But it shows they care!
Not every week can be a beatdown: in its last non-Ivy game of the season, Columbia let a 11 point lead disappear, falling 24-21 to Lafayette. The Lions led 21-10 at the half, but Lafayette finally went ahead with 13 seconds left in the game to down a Columbia team that nevertheless showed the same […]
During our time at Columbia, most of us meet one or two group leaders, student government presidents, star athletes, and the like. But there are many Columbians whose profiles are lower, yet their talents are just as (or even more) awesome. Here’s our recurring feature devoted to those students: this time, it’s Tim Sun, who’s […]
Several tipsters noted last night that the student resource par excellence known as CULPA was down. But after fretting over how we’d pick the easiest classes next semester, we were relieved to learn that CULPA 3.0 (as its staff calls the new version) is now online. What’s new, you ask? Basically, it’s the same CULPA […]
A CUID deity has fallen. Fraudulent CUID detective John Nordin has tipped that Rita Hollander’s ID– the CUID to which we are all meant to aspire– has expired! As of May 2009, the robotic Ms. Hollander, the (semi) anonymous face of the CUID, is no longer a registered member of the Columbia community. It’s going […]
