A quiet, relatively reserved oasis in Lerner’s weekend Dance Marathon and Egg and Peacock craziness rests on the 5th floor, adjacent to the Satow Room. The National Union of Jewish LGBTQ Students, or NUJLS.  Bwog caught up with Zach Scholl, 21, who traveled from LaGuardia College by way of D.C. to attend the group’s annual […]

Have you been wondering why the Lerner Box Office has been boarded up for weeks? Chad Miller, Events and Outreach Manager of the Columbia Arts Initiative, has all the answers – CUArts has been working with the Office of the Provost, Columbia College, and Student Services to create an all-new Ticket and Information Center, which […]

It had been a while since they met, so there was much to propose and resolve last night.  Warning: the following post may contain graphic Lerner 6 discussion and adult off-campus flex dialogue.  Reader discretion is advised. Proposal Regarding Academic Advising Center Problem: Lerner 6 was never finished and the Center for Student Advising has […]

Columbia continues its recent trend of improving old things by re-doing them in Century Gothic with the launch of the new Lerner website. Even though the new site is the color of a failing kidney, information is streamlined and aesthetically pleasing—like this handy map of Lerner’s innards. And this insultingly oversimplified guide to booking space. […]

Located outside the piano lounge in Lerner, there are two delicious fruit plates and what appears to be a Caesar salad. People are tending to cautiously pick at the fruit, because it almost looks like it might be for something. But pick away, hungry masses, it’s free, free, free. 

212, Ferris, and your other favorite Lerner eats are open. They might have opened a day or two ago, but Bwog is still excited about the unlimited-topping salads in 212. 

From the throes of summer-class paper-writing, Dominique Jean-Louis reports “weird people” are kissing, dancing, and engaging in other merry-making activities on the roof of Lerner, all with thunder booming in the distance. How romantic. Just watch out for those skylights.

From now until 7:00 PM, you can make a t-shirt about your feelings around sexual assault on the Lerner Ramps, as well as pick up some cool buttons and lolly pops, courtesy of the Clothesline Project. Take Back the Night is putting on the paint-fest to raise awareness for their march, going off next Thursday, […]

Iced tea, nacho fixin’s, and several tureens of churros by the piano lounge. Grab a bite while listening to the musical stylings of an awesome-haired guy with an acoustic guitar and a microphone.

CCSC Study Break in Lerner by the piano lounge. Get it while it’s hot.

Reading it in print may be archaic, but today there’s a reason to pick up the New York Times — an insert with a free wallet size fold-out bus and subway map.  As of 6 minutes ago, there were still some copies left in Lerner. And an hour ago, there were sandwiches, cupcakes, chips, music, […]

Over 300 have the balls to stand out in the cold; 150 participate in much warmer Lerner teach-in (also, Spec includes a nifty little video) In the meantime, Computer Music Center staff catches colds without protesting Chillin’ with the Varsity Show Will Iran turn a cold shoulder? — In the meantime, the pro-life perspective of […]

A digest of activisty news we missed from the last week. Copycats! Over at UCLA–which showed up on our “WTF” radar last year because of that taser business–protesters actually shut down a talk by some Minutemen-affiliated speakers. (note: This is not the Minuteman Project, but the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.) Or, rather, according to the site above […]

Carly Hoogendyk’s alert on the kill: A Peer Major Advising event going on in C555 means an almost certain excess of pizza and soda. Grab it there (no one would care) or wait for the many boxes that’ll end up in the lobby of Lerner.

For those of you who rocked Glass House Rocks on Thursday night, perhaps we can admit that, for once, Lerner couldn’t have been put to better purpose. If you were fortunate enough to show up in the earlier half, food was (for the time being) in great abundance – some of the delights included international […]
