Lerner is turning 10 this year, but why throw a birthday party when you can throw a birthday party-themed STUDY BREAK?!  The Lerner Piano Lounge, for 10 years full of people trying to act like they don’t hear that bad pianist practicing while they’re trying to read, will have 500 cupcakes and what’s being called […]

The Club Sports Governing Board will have treats for you this evening in the John Jay Lounge. From 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM, gorge yourselves on eggnog, hot chocolate, and cookies.  The eggnog will probably be nonalcoholic, but nothing’s stopping you from taking it back to your over-21 room and adding your legally-purchased rum.

Club Dimensions, in consort with Club Bangla and the Kraft Family Fund will be showing an animated film at 8:00 PM tonight in the Lerner Cinema. It tells the Indian epic of Ramayana using joke-cracking shadow puppets (snarky shadow puppets?). Plus there will be FREE ROTI ROLL served BEFORE the event. Assume that means there […]

The blaring noise and flashing lights weren’t enough – occupants of 209 stood around looking at each other for several minutes before a loud voice told them to “move people!” On the bright side, Lerner-bound Butler refugees have come across a big free cheese platter in the lobby by 212. Enjoy!

Tonight at 7:00pm (get there by 6:50!), Lerner Party Space plays host to Awaaz’s production of The Priest and the Prostitute, a one-act adapted from a seventh-century Sanskrit farce.  If that’s not enough to tempt you–and, really, anything called The Priest and the Prostitute should be enough to tempt you–Columbia Dhoom, the Bollywood dance group, […]

Remember, there is a world out there beyond Columbia. If to you “the rest of the world” means “foreign affairs, please,” head to Pupin 214 at 7pm to hear world-renowned expert Jonathan Adelman discuss American and Israeli relations with Asia, sponsored by LionPAC and accompanied by free pizza. If, on the other hand, you believe […]

Bwog may not have on-campus free food tonight, but that doesn’t mean you still have to pay for dinner.

That wouldn’t be any fun.  It does, however, require digging through […]
