The Columbia College Student Council came together as a big family this evening, doing their big happy student council thing. This week, they were joined by the 40-odd freshmen running for 2010 class council, one of whom asked the e-board to enumerate student government’s accomplishments last year. That took some thought, but veteran council members […]

Fully nine parties–count ’em, nine–have entered the cosmically inconsequential but strangely fascinating race for Columbia College’s 2010 class council. That’s down from ten last year, but certainly more competition than the class will see in its next three elections. They are: Party of Five, TOGA, Blue Barracudas, Nonstop, The, Stella, Columbia Undergraduates, Supporting Progress, Alma […]

Two freshman boys, feet submerged in an inch of standing water on South Lawn: “Sandals were a bad choice.” “Dude! That is SO the name of the next facebook group we’re making!”

If they haven’t already, Generation ’10 will soon recieve a slick new copy of the Iliad, courtesy of some alumni class from the last fifty years. Unless they decide to buck tradition, its cover will feature a lovely classical painting now hanging in L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Slate, however, has proposed the alternative […]

Welcome to CubMail, new minted Lions! Bwog recommends that you immediately set it up a forwarding address to a Gmail account, allowing you to bypass the […]

Ah, Columbia freshmen: still vulnerable to the classic street scam. This one, written up in The New Yorker, involved a broken bottle, “pink stuff,” and babies. Lesson learned: If you break something, just keep on walking.

Whack!

This year’s second crop of freshmen should be finishing up their Frontiers of Science exam right about now, which Bwog learned was administered on 18 single-sided pages per test taker (not including Blue Books). Those familiar with Frontiers will bear with us for a little back of the envelope calculation: There are approximately 1,000 students […]

NSOP-erific

What happens when 223 of the most enthusiastic people on campus get together in one place? Bwog found out at this afternoon’s Orientation Leader orientation, half as long as last year’s and still jam-packed with cheesy icebreakers, awkward raps, and interpretive dance.

Havoc Humanities

Oh, the scandal! According to Bwog’s Lit Hum teacher, a positively Virgilian battle took place at a meeting this morning in preparation for this Friday’s final, which is written by committee. Apparently, there is disagreement over how best to torture freshmen. But besides squabbling over exam content, every two years the syllabus undergoes revision. This […]

Overheard outside John Jay:”I didn’t get any sleep last night. I went to bed at 12:30, but I kept being woken up by Richard III.” Nothing like the wake-up call of betrayal, murder, and outdoor Shakespeare. See the final showing tonight at 8 PM. Be at the Sundial.

Bwog Correspondent Mark Krotov attended a debate between the three parties vying for freshmen’s vote: the Flex Party, the Fusion Party, and the Pants Party. Though the CCSC Rising Sophomore debate was not especially memorable, it clearly signaled a shift in campus attitudes. Sure, there were the requisite mentions of better dining options and performance […]
