By Bwog Staff on Oct 16, 2009 13 Comments

Two of Columbia’s major websites have just received extreme makeovers – the SEAS site, whose color scheme and photo-of-new-dean remind visitors of Columbia College, and the Student Affairs site (shown above), which reminds the administration of its promise to render the entire Morningside Campus in 2D. Major overhauls in PR are never taken lightly at Columbia, and […]

Eyepoke: Eye-Popping Figures

By Bwog Staff on Oct 15, 2009 5 Comments

If we could study television, we wouldn’t have to waste time watching it. Eventually, going to the pediatrician is just creepy. Hopefully it works better than the Ionic Breeze. Among the Ivies, our tuition increased the most.
