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 […]
That’s probably because everyone loves bikes – you’d be hard pressed to find a cooler eco-friendly, transportation-providing accessory. Turns out the Upper West Side loves bikes, too. After receiving an anonymous tip, Bwog’s detective squad found a new reason for excitement for local bike enthusiasts – Community Board 7 has officially approved the Dept. of […]
Fairway is the best way, reason no. 1362: bodegas charge nearly twice as much for grocery staples. (New York Post) Open House New York ends today–check out this 53rd Street MTA Powerstation, designed with help from our old friends McKim, Mead and White. (Gothamist) New York in a box! A man sends his soldier pal […]
If you’re in Butler and were wondering why people are happy outside your window, look no further than Low Plaza where over a hundred happy Jews are dancing with torahs. It’s the last night of the harvest holiday of Sukkot, and revelers are linking arms, singing and rejoicing over the crops they have reaped this […]
Bwog’s “surprised and humbled” film guy Mark Hay is back with this week’s movie recommendations. So Obama got a Nobel Peace prize – how very strange. One might be tempted to say that the Norwegians are just trying to have a bit of fun at the expense of Americans by placing our wonderful, but rather […]
If you want high fashion with your free food, catwalk your way over to Satow Room on Lerner’s fifth floor from 4-6 pm today. CU Couture is putting on a make-over extravaganza starring 7 of your classmates, before and after photos, and lots of strutting of one’s stuff. The event, which features professional Fashion Week […]
Thursday afternoon saw NYU professor Edward Wolff (the happy guy at right) visit IAB 801 to lecture on “Long-Term Trends in The Levy Institute Measure of Economic Well-Being, 1959-2004.” Sounds complicated? That didn’t stop Bwog’s Wealth and Mad Men correspondent Emily Ahn from filing a report. Like a book, you can’t judge a lecture by its title. […]
