Today marks the start of College Days, a week-long celebration of all that is Columbia spirit and pride, in which we are all united in our collective love for free things. The feature-film related theme of the week is “Admit One”, which strikes us as a bizarrely exclusive title. Regardless, there’s a wealth of free […]

Columbia University Film Productions (CUFP) is hosting its own film festival tonight at 8 p.m. in the Roone Arledge Cinema. Besides the festival offering FREE FOOD, films being screened are the works of Columbia students and staff, including a film by Lili Gu, SEAS ’09. Now, if that name sounds suspiciously familiar to you, it […]

Not to say that anyone who goes to study in a country that requires little or no foreign language proficiency is taking a shortcut. However, if you would like to study abroad somewhere other than wherever your foreign language requirement can get you, you might want a shortcut around taking another two years of language […]

Lots of free food for simply nice, warm and fuzzy reasons today from 12-2pm. Your choices are Re-Charge, an event on Low Steps that encourages you to regroup and partake of free snacks courtesy of the University Chaplain, or SEAS Coffee House in Mudd Lobby, where you will find some nice sugary breakfast items and […]

Get yourself to Lerner piano lounge on the double for free hot dogs, cupcakes, baked beans, buns, and lentils, before they disappear. Yeah, you were cheated out of your 40s. Here’s your chance to make up for it, with the bonus pleasure of looking at some fancy student artwork hanging the walls. And the overall […]

The one redeeming facet of new-new-Facebook is the highlights bar, which today painted the picture of a campus overflowing with food. For breakfast, head over to the Casa Latina for a pancake brunch.  It’s $2 for all-you-can-eat pancakes, benefiting the Lucha Community Health Fair next week.  12-2 PM @ EC TH 504. Head over to […]

Now’s your chance to indulge your inner Garbo. Columbia University Film Productions needs extras tonight for a scene in its project, “Serotonin.” Fortunately, since extras will be playing students, there’s no need to go all Dustin Hoffman on CUFP. Just show up wearing normal student clothes (anything from the Gap family of brands will do) […]

Take away your book stress, housing-related pain, or post-VW panic attack tremors with free food! Choose from two varieties – free food with a side of environmentalism, or free food with a side of 90’s nostalgia. Earth Co. will host its study break at 10pm on the Lerner ramps, and you know what you get […]

How depressing and/or controversial do you like the news attached to your free food to be? Today, you have two choices: At 6:30 in Lerner West Ramp Lounge, the Northern Korean Alliance demystifies North Korea for you with the aid of a free smorgasbord from Miss Mamie’s Spoonbread. Miss Mamie herself is rumored to be opining on […]

A hungry Bwog tipster just informed us that Ferris is doling out free french fries at their relatively new burger station. Bwog investigated the french fry situation and noted that, although the portion was generous, the fries did not deliver. Our dejected tipster described them as both “vaguely moist” and, perhaps even worse, “limp”. Our […]

Free tacos and classical music on Lerner Ramps RIGHT NOW! Hurry! (And yes, this is the same photo we used two weeks ago. Our tipster says it’s the same setup).

Some students will spend tonight locked in their rooms, sobbing over the phone to their mothers about their housing lottery numbers. But if you find comfort in the company of others, or maybe just in edible free crap, consider the African Diasporic Literary Society! Tonight it offers a free dinner in the Malcolm X Lounge […]

While many of us have only been back on campus for 24 hours or so, the Asian American Alliance (AAA) and Club Zamana have separately decided the time is already ripe for a study break. Beleaguered masses, rise from your work spaces and head to the West Ramp Lounge at 7 for the Tamasha Hype […]

Hawkmadinebwog is no prophet, but either Odysseus is getting ready to slaughter Penelope’s suitors, or the red-tails are out for spring! Several people wrote in yesterday to tell us that a juvenile red-tail was hanging around Hamilton and Low until catching his meal and dropping feathers on the passers-by of College Walk. Hawkmadinebwog is not […]

Spring break isn’t here yet, but tonight we herald the arrival of that other kind of break-the kind with free food. The CCSC Campus Life Committee will be giving away “TONS of food” in JJ’s Place tonight from 9-10, right around that time in the evening when you start to think about how much you like noshing […]
