Come one, come all for free cupcakes! Not actually – this only applies to you if you have a ratty, unwanted, or unfashionable coat lying around (which we know you do) and can carry it to the ProjectHealth Coat Drive between today and Saturday (which you probably can). If you do bring over your old […]
Clear skies on Election Day brought a gleam of hope to the Columbia University College Democrats’ fourth and final day of campaigning for Creigh Deeds in Virginia. Sean Quirk has the last word on the trip. Disregarding the dismal polls, we awoke at 6:30 A.M., performed our morning kinesthetics, and began our work for the […]
To Columbians, Election Day means more than the clatter of local politics in Wien. The coming of democracy signals the end of debauchery; Halloween and our four-or-five-day break is over. But why do we break now instead of earlier in the semester like our Columbus-Day-hating brethren? Bwog’s own David Hu looked the gift horse so […]
The city elections wrapped up with a surprisingly small winning margin for Mike Bloomberg. Democrats took pretty much everything else in the city, while Republicans snagged two gubernatorial seats nationwide. (NY Times) Around 5:30AM yesterday a now identified NYU junior jumped to his death in Bobst Library. The library was reopened and tours resumed around […]
In the first Security Alert about a robbery in just over a month, a Columbia “affiliate” was robbed while “walking along the foot path on the lower level of Riverside Park adjacent near W. 116th Street.” Two males–one wearing a mask, the other described as Hispanic–approached the affiliate; the male with a mask brandished a […]
Sure, the university’s fearless leader may have seen his salary slip slightly, but PrezBo’s got another trick up his sleeve for the holidays: a new book. Uninhibited, Robust, and Wide-Open: A Free Press for a New Century will be released by Oxford University Press in December, with Amazon and Barnes and Noble listing the official […]
In the latest installment of our recurring feature devoted to students’ hidden talents, Safecracking Bureau Chief Mark Hay shows us that some talents require anonymity. Schnitzel’s talent is not so much hidden as it is, of necessity, clandestine. Under New York Penal Law 140.35, just by possessing the tools of his trade, Schnitzel (ed. note: […]
New Yorkers miss the pre-Giuliani Manhattan so much, they’re actually paying for their share of urban flair (Gothamist). Sure, our economic prowess is draining away, but Americans are faster than ever! Take that, India and China (HuffPo). Despite narrowing polls, it looks like Bloomberg’s reign will continue (NY1). One Brooklyn custody battle is the stuff […]
– We still like to think PrezBo has this outfit in his closet. Photoshop credit to “D. Sion G.” These economic times have been rough on everyone, and even PrezBo’s checkbook is feeling a really tiny bit of heat. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, Bollinger took home a sweet $1,380,035 in total compensation […]
Election season means another Columbia Democrats campaign trip, and this year, they are returning to the Old Dominion (aka “Virginia”) to campaign for gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds. Sean Quirk sends us the first of two dispatches from the trail. It’s 11 A.M. on a blistering, rainy Sunday morning as Columbia Democratic foot soldiers get a […]
It’s the week after Halloween, you nailed that Clippy costume, and you pretty much have nothing left to think about, right? Not so fast! Don’t forget there’s an election right around the corner. For those of you registered to vote here, the most contentious race this year is probably for the Mayor of New York […]
Bwog sent Lookin’ and Feelin’ Good Specialist Sarah Camiscoli to Ricky’s to get the ultimate opinion on Columbian fashion and some advice on how to look and feel, well, good. Now that anxiety of midterms has transformed into dread over future GPAs, the Halloween hangover has subsided, and fall break has brought salvation, students are […]
