It’s time for another installment of our exam season photo essays. The amount of paper crammed into a single desk never ceases to amaze:

Bwog extends a warm welcome back to Columbians, all of whom we assume are facing the day with bleary eyes. Whether you were getting schwasted in Mexico like those people at other colleges or furiously applying to internships and trying to read the books you skipped so far this semester, coming back to school isn’t […]

Determined to confuse young minds just before spring break, the folks over at NIST pushed all the clocks ahead by an hour last night in a semi-annual tradition known as Daylight Saving Time. We now know that the energy-saving aspirations of the March-November shift were bunk, but at least children now can trick-or-treat in daylight […]

CityRoom has a snazzy slideshow thing depicting the excitement surrouning the “topping off” of the new Interdisciplinary Science Building, located on 120th and Broadway.  Look: there is Future You, in the library — exactly as you are right now. Comforting, kind of.

A Bwog daily editor reports on a distressing development in the world of tunneling: A year ago, your correspondent made a bid for tunneling immortality. With sharpie in hand, I went in search of the Columbia tunnel system’s holy grail–a Manhattan Project-era cyclotron rumored to be somewhere in the upper campus tunnel system. It turns […]

Too old for fairly tales, eh? The Columbia Musical Theatre Society presents Into the Woods‘ long, jaunty ride through Mother Goose’s canon. Bwog’s theatre correspondent Ginia Sweeney reviews the play and wonders how much shorter it could’ve been. I’m going to try to keep this review short because I’ve just had to sit through an […]
