Tonight is the night before the organic chemistry final, and you know what that means. Yes: obscene humor, Barnard jokes, and chemistry word-play–all part of a typical Orgo Night. And that’s all this semester’s Orgo Night was: typical. However, it did have its entertaining parts, and it was a worthwhile Columbian experience, if only to […]
Freshpeople, seniors, and everyone in between should attend one of Columbia’s most enjoyable traditions: CUMB’s 69th semiannual Orgo Night. Same Band time, same Band place: Butler 209, 11:59- but get there early, it gets crowded quickly and you might get locked out. Laugh at Columbia, sing “Roar, Lion, Roar,” and resume your studies. Send video, […]
Last year Bwog brought you a Limerick Lit Hum study guide, and this year Procrastinator Extraordinaire Carolyn Ruvkun provides you with a playlist of songs with references to glorious works of our literary past from the second semester of the Lit Hum syllabus. ‘Njoy! The Beatles, “I Am the Walrus“ This Beatles classic sparked the […]
Since Lerner Hall flung open its perplexing glass doors in 1999, students have complained that for a student center, there is little space in the building for student activities, except perhaps for the occasional pianist trickling out “Claire de Lune.” Space reservation headaches aside, much of Lerner is used for administrative purposes. This summer, much […]

If you’d like to suggest a Campus Character, send us an email at editors@theblueandwhite.org. ”After Buffalo, anything was […]
Treats are everywhere! (Sike) The boys of Lambda Phi Epsilon are hoping to make your final official study day a good one: they’ll be serving free ice cream and root beer floats from 4-6 today on Ancel Plaza in front of EC. Thanks, fellas! Update, 4 PM: More from the wacky world of CU free […]
Name, school: Ron Gejman, CC Claim to fame: Computer nerd extraordinaire! No, but really, I ran CULPA for the past couple years and revamped it a bit (remember what it used to look like?). I also designed the super-graphic—but ridiculously effective—posters that got put up all over campus during Ahmadinejad week. Where are you going? […]
The West Coast Connection is giving out hearty servings of free guacamole today at 2 on College Walk. Thank you, friends! Update: oops, sorry- make that $1 guacamole with chips.
This Morningside Heights landlord stole $900,000 in rents, possibly from you! (NY Daily News) This Washington Heights barber cut hair, and also killed people. (NY Post) The New School will expand, and people won’t get that upset. (NYT) Maybe not the best time for an art installation with a fake bomb? (Gothamist) 6,700 NYC schoolteachers […]
It’s true: Collision, the sort-of annual end-of-year arts party, is not happening this year. Your one chance to make it to Brooklyn, squandered! According to Rick Fudge, the head of Collision, the board “decided we’d rather focus on smaller, more spontaneous stuff on campus,” like the occasional Minilision (ya know, mini-Collisions!) held this year, and […]
Zoinks! Columbia, or the librarians, or someone nice and also official, is giving out free bagels with cream cheese, fruit, and Oren’s (!) coffee tonight in Butler Cafe from 10 to midnight. Don’t be late, we are cautioned: supplies are limited. There will also be some study break activites, maybe some deep breathing and the […]
