The committee is a student-led group of 15-20 members, representing a cross-section of classes and majors within CC.

The Trilling Award recognizes a book from the past year by a Columbia author that best exhibits the standards of scholarship. The Van Doren Award honors a Columbia professor for his or her commitment to undergraduate instruction. This process culminates in the selection of the winners in the spring.

Tipster and video game enthusiast Nick Camp directs Bwog's attention to the new Grand Theft Auto IV, specifically the Varsity Heights neighborhood of Liberty City. Buildings eerily similar to Low, Butler, and Hamilton are located just off Ivy Drive—there's even a College Walk.
Mad nostalgia for the mid-90s is standard by now, and unsurprisingly many Bwoggers have devolved back to their 9-year-old selves, reveling in the joys of Nintendo 64 and Mario Kart in particular. Though our early Karting experience was largely a tale of character-building losses to nimbler-fingered cousins, we have trained a bit among ourselves and have stoked a more robust sense of competition (future adversaries at Blue Key Society's spelling bee should be wary). Bwog hereby invites all fellow nostalgics for a Mario Kart tournament next Friday, April 4th, on Ruggles 6. If you have deluded yourself into thinking you're game for the challenge - or if you just want a sweet photo of yourself in video gaming action, accompanied by a putatively funny/punny caption, published on Bwog - email
