Bwog’s SGA correspondent Raphaelle Debenedetti was there, and she writes with tales of alumni and free food. The meeting began with some bragging: according to US News reports, Barnard’s rank has risen from the 30th to 26th liberal arts college in the country, and is the 17th most desirable urban campus (that means there are […]

Yesterday’s Columbia-Penn Homecoming game wasn’t exactly pretty: the teams combined for eight fumbles and six interceptions in the visitors’ 27-13 victory. Quarterback M.A. Olawale showed flashes of brilliance—completing 14 of 26 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns (one each to receiver Austin Knowlin and tight end Andrew Kennedy)—but was responsible for six turnovers of […]

It’s a Saturday, and at a lot of schools across the country, that means football. And this week, there’s a ton of free food up at 218th Street, where Columbia is about to take on Penn in about an hour.  But just as more important than free food is free beer! Especially when there’s lots […]

Wallach Art Gallery Columbia has its own mini-museum in Schermerhorn! Who knew? The Wallach Gallery’s classy digs will undoubtedly impress your parents. Maybe you’ll even impress them with your […]

Those roguish pranksters from Princeton’s marching band have done it again. The band stopped by the Butler Library lobby just a few moments ago to blast Columbia midterm studiers with a drumline routine and plenty of brass honking. Although it’s possible the Princetonians were simply lost, Bwog chalks up the visit to pre-homecoming game merrymaking. […]

Whether you plan on going to the Big Game or not, Bwog recommends taking advantage of the pre-homecoming breakfast taking place in the EC 2nd floor lounge this morning at 11:00.    It’s free! School spirit not required.

After an exciting week of Decolonization, celebrity sightings and little children, only CCSC could return the student body to normalcy.  No resolutions (or revolutions) tonight, but, for the first time ever, CTV taped the weekly updates. The meeting opened with CCSC’s beverage-related homecoming escapades.  Once the meeting was called to order and the cameras began […]

Because it’s homecoming! Bwog commentary and photos to follow later on in the day.

If you somehow missed the spectacle of giant inflatables and mobs of people waiting for free food on Low Plaza this afternoon, CCSC Columbia student councils and organizations (edited) celebrated the day prior to homecoming with a carnival that made one a little nostalgic with memories of elementary school PTA festivities — minus, perhaps, children […]

With Fair Alma’s ritual disembowelment of the hapless Penn Quakers a mere five days away, the Columbia College senior class decided to celebrate homecoming week with a little pugilism of its own. With Decolonization day going at full thrust less than 20 yards in front of them, the CC seniors lined up for some BBQ–with […]

Now that 2011 elections are over, the Columbia College political machine is gearing up for Homecoming, initiating new members and even passing resolutions. First and foremost: this week’s Class-sponsored free food opportunities. Monday: At 1:00 PM on Low Steps, Seniors present Texas BBQ and Pie Your Favorite Senior (Spectator editor-in-chief John Davisson and Dems president […]

Lydia DePillis and Christopher Morris-Lent report on today’s Homecoming game. Special thanks to Charles Clavey for his photos. It is generally true that suburban high schools are much better at football than their urban counterparts.  If we extrapolate this axiom and apply it to this afternoon’s contest between Princeton and Columbia, then the unhappy outcome […]
