Once again, many a wooden chair has gone missing from the Schapiro lounges, and Housing is prepared to take action. Darleny Cepin, Associate Director of the Office of Residential Programs, warned residents that all of the furniture must be returned by 9am this Friday, or else a team of Res, Housing, and Facilities staff will open […]

Bwog’s weekly round-up of neighborhood news sees many odd occurrences. Please continue to help keep us as well-informed as possible by tipping your boringest to tips@bwog.com. Hewitt has new, larger, and more sophisticated-ly round mugs, (more mug drama here). At Panino Sportivo, the 38th person to order a sandwich  gets it for free. These correspond […]

As Bwog supports all events of portmanteau-origins, we feel obligated to alert you of free food on the Schapiro patio in celebration of its new greenification, courtesy of EcoReps. In addition to gratuitous delectables, the Facebook event promises live jazz music, sidewalk chalk mural drawing, and “other fun stuff.” Sounds like a blast! The excitement […]

As much as we lucky few loved having our LitHum class in Carman, classes just weren’t meant to be taught in dorms. A tipster sent us this delightful sign, discovered on the fourth floor of Schapiro residence hall, not to be confused with CEPSR/Schapiro Center.

The Core, it has been said, is good for cocktail party chatter and not much else. You’ll be able to schmooze with people about Woolfe and iambic pentameter, yadda yadda. This post supplements the rather specific knowledge Columbia bestows on you (hey, no snark alert: we kind of love the Core) with some genuinely useless […]

The residents of Schapiro face a dreaded Housing raid, as lounge furniture-pilfering students failed to learn a lesson from Wien/EC. It seems that 3 chairs and 3 tables have gone missing from the 2nd, 9th, 10th and 11th floor lounges. Who’s hosting a dinner party in their Schapiro double? Housing has given the hooligans until […]

Overheard on a Schapiro Elevator: Two women step inside and press the button labeled “PH.” Woman A: “What do you think PH stands for?” Woman B: “I don’t know. [Ph]aculty House?” Woman A: “Oh yeah.”

Posted in Schapiro lounges Friday night (conveniently after most people had already left for break): Despite Columbia’s sterling record in respecting privacy, what happens if you’ve left out anything incriminating goes unspecified.

The Schapiro fire alarm has been christened.   Let the year begin!

A few Schapiro residents are regretting they stayed at Columbia to party last night. From Ben Isham…  A urinal on the 8th floor opened up some time close to midnight, putting about two inches of water on the eastern double tower there, and sending water cascading down the building (all the way to the second […]

The Times is a bit behind the times, but hey, at least it proves we’re not the only disappointed ones.  That’s ok though, because PrezBo just became a board member of the Times’ main rival, joining such blue-chip luminaries as Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett (this coming after being appointed to the board of the […]

Welcome back to our semi-weekly feature, in which Bwog contributor Mark Krotov takes you to the lesser known gems on our fair campus, forever ruining them for those who didn’t need the hint.  In last year’s debate over Flash access to Columbia dorms for Barnard students, opponents somewhat arrogantly hypothesized that a free-flowing student body […]
