And speaking of gay Members of the Tribe, here’s a tip that sounds like it may have been written by your Bubbe:  “Mountains of KOSHER Chinese food left over from Gayava’s National Union of Jewish LGBTQ Students conference in Lerner lobby. Bring your tupperware – eat well for days!”  

Scott, the treasurer of the organization formerly known as Model UN (now called Columbia International Relations Council & Association, apparently), has just informed Bwog that in about ten minutes there will be “tons” of leftovers from a high school conference in Lerner. Scott boasts of cheeses, deli meat, and “some random cranberry stuff that Nussbaum […]

Right this minute, on the lawn in front of John Jay, the hawk that’s been spotted near Lewisohn and the LLC is lunching on a pigeon.  It swooped down and snatched it in dramatic fashion.  Onlookers, please send in your photos and stories.  Bored studiers, please suggest names for our hawk.  Apparently, they’re territorial, so […]

College Walk is crammed with merrymakers for the annual tree-lighting ceremony.  All in all, it is a very Columbia Christmas: the Kingsmen modified “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” with a verse on lovebirds PrezBo and Ahmadinejad and Eric Foner gave a Bush-bashing speech about critical thinking in the new year.  An unfortunate elderly gentlemen […]

Tipster Alex Port says… “Walked into uris to find two tables lined with hundreds of free jelly donuts in honor of the festival of lights. As revenge for not being able to swipe DD$ at uris, we should eat all their donuts, get the word out.” Word has it that CCSC reps are also outside […]

‘Tis the season to be jolly, and what makes people jollier than politics? The Democrats and Republicans are getting their fix these next few days before finals set in. Tonight, the Democrats are running a Maucus, a mock version of the Iowa caucus. Centuries ago, Roman emperor and CC author Maucus Aurelius was named one […]

The cruel cycle of nature continues–right in front of Lewisohn! Writes a tipster: “Just at noon (right now!) I saw a GIANT hawk in front of the sculpture facing Lewisohn, chowing down on some small animal.  It’s neat to see real wild life in the city.” And it’s neat to see such fitting metaphors for […]

We know this because they have alerted Bwog of their “free organic Thanksgiving dinner,” and to the fact that they’re a “special interest community that actually does something besides give itself sweet housing.” Like feed you! So “stop by EC townhouse H604 at 8 pm for turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pie and all the other excellent Thanksgiving fare!” And do […]

Going by the tone of tonight’s candlelight vigil (and counter-protest), the fact that the hunger strike has ended doesn’t change anything. The strikers still plan on holding vigils every night at 9. They still plan on camping out on the lawn between College Walk and Butler. And, as speakers and attendees to tonight’s vigil reiterated, […]

CUArts is bribing you with free food at 1:00 PM in the Satow Room! You’ll probably have to stick around and hear about free money for a while too–and internships and tickets and arts programming–but Bwog can think of worse ways to fill your stomach.

While the rally was happening on the sundial, there was a curious little table set up on Low Steps with cookies and hot chocolate. No it wasn’t a counter-protest against the strikers, or the work of Columbia Republicans, but rather Obama-supporters. Cookies and hot chocolate in the name of Barack, rather fitting for this rainy […]

Free samples of Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, and Izze juices, in the Uris cafeteria right about now. You can also nab a nifty Boar’s Head insulated sandwich bag that you can cool in your freezer. And also, Columbia Catering, the exclusive catering service of Lerner Hall, has free bag lunches in the Piano Lounge. […]

A kindly woman was spotted feeding the birds outside Hamilton this afternoon. We hope they were potty trained.  

Do you ever get nostalgia for your boarding/private school days? Cardigans? The old boys’ club? The Varsity Show has set up a country club on Low plaza, complete with cucumber sandwiches, Arnold Palmer’s, bubble gum cigars, and neon golf balls. Delicious!

The ghosts and ghouls come out on All Hallow’s Eve, but All Hallow’s day is ruled by campus groups. The Statement of Principles, in development since the Minutemen aftermath, (and reproduced here after the jump) was unveiled and has been covered in signatures, while the deans have set up a trick or treat stand and […]
