Always up for controversy, Bwog perked up this morning at a Spectator headline declaring that President Ahmadinejad of Iran had been invited to speak at Columbia. We soon e-mailed Public Affairs Director Robert Hornsby to see if he could save a seat for us, and minutes later recieved this response: “Event was never scheduled. – […]

This morning you recieved an email from PrezBo in your overflowing cubmail box. Read it! It’s news! Columbia has decided to reform its financial aid policy to benefit students whose combined family income is less than $50,000. Now Columbia will just give these students money instead of loaning it to them. Also a good time […]

Bollinger sighting! An anonymous tipster reports: “Last night a few friends and I were walking on 116th near the Wein courtyard carrying seven handles of bad vodka and four cases of beer for a party in EC when we passed President Bollinger.  The plastic bags did little to hide the illicit content.  As he walked […]

Brendan Ballou interviews known nice-guy-finishes-last Alex Statman, C’09 about how he’d perform in Prez Bo’s 5K fun run. So Alex, did you run Bollinger’s 5K this morning? No. Do you run regularly? Not at all. When is the last time you exercised? I had to pass PE in ninth grade. So how do you think you […]

This morning’s Prezbo-sponsored fun run began just fifteen minutes ago.  Report from the sidelines is that Prezbo was roughly three minutes behind at the halfway mark and looked tired. The CU Track team was standing around directing and cheering everyone else on, but there was not so much running coming from them. And the organizers […]

In which Bwog allows you to feel like you were there without actually having to sit through it.

Cindy Horowitz, head of NSOP: do we even have a pre-law major?  Sweet, but why is there a […]

They go fish shopping! According to an anonymous tipster, a CC student ran into President Bollinger summering in Cape Cod, but didn’t recognize him until PrezBo had fled the scene.

Facebook’s Prez Bo is now dead. May he rest in peace. -Thanks to Adrian Podpirka for the tip

Last August, Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) set off a media shit storm by suggesting that NYPD officers use race as a criterion for “random” bag searches. After being slapped down by the good servicemembers themselves, Hikind is back at it, introducing a bill on Thursday that would permit police officers to arrest people for looking […]

Many of us think of Columbia as a nurturing mother, sheltering us from the vissicitudes of adult life. One Columbia senior expected her to protect us from the rain as well…and took PrezBo to task for failing in this final act of devotion. Her e-mail follows, with the administration’s response after the jump. ——– Original […]

It started with Alexander Hamilton, and now the facebook fascists have struck again. One complainant reports: “It’s an all out hunt. My Barack Obama account has been disabled. It won’t be long before Peter Parker gets rubbed out too. It was fun while it lasted I suppose. The Columbia Squirrel and Pigeon better watch out. […]

According to the New York Times, PrezBo & Co. have kicked off a drive to raise $4 billion in seven years. That’ll buy a whole lot of fruit and cheese platters, fo sho. And everyone’s favorite cosmonerd Prof. David Helfand gets some airtime defending the administration. Word up! Meanwhile, over in the Magazine section, we […]

Prestige-obsessed Columbians should be pleased to hear that 3 2 3 of the 5 most influential “idea-makers” in New York (as ranked by New York Magazine) work at Columbia! Everyone else should at least get some morbid thrill to know that on said magazine’s list of the 5 most influential New Yorkers in education, our […]

Gautam Hans The scent of anxiety oozing from Butler dissipated for about 30 minutes as the Columbia University Marching Band carried out its annual tradition of making chem majors’ lives miserable.
