Labor Day Round-Up

By Bwog Staff on Sep 06, 2010 3 Comments

A few points of note from today’s lovely Labor Day. Bwog spent $7 on a bagel and orange juice at Nussbaum this morning, and remembered how our money goes so quickly here. Dinner at Mel’s Burger Bar is 10% off tonight and tomorrow with a Columbia/Barnard ID. We also hear that Hewitt isn’t swiping IDs […]

The Bwogtionary: A Lexicon

By Bwog Staff on Sep 06, 2010 12 Comments

Like Shakespeare and Sarah Palin, college students enjoy making up new words. HuffPo (that’s Huffington Post to you students who, er, haven’t read this article yet) recently did a piece on the language college students speak at schools that… aren’t Columbia, apparently. Here is Bwog’s comprehensive A-Z lexicon of all the words and phrases you will […]

Where Morningside Is Actually a College Town

By Bwog Staff on Sep 06, 2010 6 Comments

Morningside Heights likes to pretend that it is a college town. In recent years, that has been an increasingly difficult image to maintain: there’s about a bank per block between 110th and 116th Streets, and many independently owned stores have closed in the last few years to make room for big chains like Chipotle and […]

The Oracle is a Bust

By Bwog Staff on Sep 05, 2010 0 Comments

In May of last semester, CULPA came out with the Oracle, an algorithm that hoped to achieve the impossible–to predict the scheduling of Core Curriculum professors. For those wishing to avoid blindly selecting their Core courses, the Oracle stood as a beacon of hope. Unfortunately, when put to its first test this semester, the Oracle’s results […]

Things You Should Pretend You Already Knew

By Bwog Staff on Sep 05, 2010 27 Comments

Sometimes, fresh-people, in a seminar, or at a party, someone will reference something that used to exist and doesn’t anymore, and you will have to nod your head or laugh knowingly. Ah yes, Morningside is like, so gentrified, you will say. We asked alumni of The Blue and White and Bwog for places, events, and […]

Residence Hall Etymology

By Bwog Staff on Sep 04, 2010 15 Comments

The Core, it has been said, is good for cocktail party chatter and not much else. You’ll be able to schmooze with people about Woolfe and iambic pentameter, yadda yadda. This post supplements the rather specific knowledge Columbia bestows on you (hey, no snark alert: we kind of love the Core) with some genuinely useless […]

Columbia Beats Harvard! And?

By Bwog Staff on Sep 04, 2010 9 Comments

The quick takeaway from James Piereson’s recent WSJ op-ed (excerpted from a longer piece in The New Criterion), “Where Columbia Beats Harvard”: our Core Curriculum is far superior to Harvard’s set of abstruse distribution requirements. So that’s neat! In fact, add to this upset CU’s recent jump up those knuckleheaded US News rankings, and Columbia […]
