A couple of weeks ago, we told Columbia to get its shit together. But as February drags on longer than we thought possible and midterm season digs into our sleep schedules and self confidence, we’re starting to realize that the real culprit may not be the institution we inhabit, but our sorry asses themselves. Last […]

“This is actually something that was brought to our attention by students this past weekend,” Benjamin Makansi (CCSC President) said, when asked if the last item of business the Columbia College Student Council tackled on their Sunday night meeting (making “Cannon’s accessible beyond freshmen and Manhattan College people”) was a joke. The resolution was, apparently, far […]

An anonymous source (presumably someone on Allsex?), just submitted a tip alerting us of free food on the 2nd floor of the Diana Center. Go get some delicious, free bake sale goodies while supplies last. Thanks, tipster!  

Valiant bureau chief Joe Milholland once again reports from a CCSC meeting fraught with discussion of delicate issues. And, also, discussion of tampons and toilet paper. “It has been really frustrating to try to work with No Red Tape in good faith,” said CCSC’s VP of Policy Vivek Ramakrishanan about NRT and CCSC working together […]

After merging with FLIP National, FLIP Columbia is able to offer students MicroGrants for this spring. However, the application for these MicroGrants had been open for four days before FLIP sent out the an email announcement on February 28th. This will likely pose a problem to those who could have filled out the application over the […]

This year, the week’s theme is “Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History.” Events celebrate the stories of Barnard students and faculty, as well as guests such as bell hooks and Taliah Waajid. […]

This morning, CU Apartheid Divest has released a statement from faculty who support its action in “calling upon the University to take a moral stance against Israel’s violence in all its forms.” The statement expresses that these faculty members are “professionally, intellectually, and morally invested in [their] University” and cites a 2002 student and faculty […]

The Oscars were last night. People won. Other people lost. Mad Max: Fury Road reminded everyone that it’s insanely good. Chris Rock said some offensive things. A familiar meme died to thunderous applause. (USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair) The Metropolitan Museum of Art is redesigning its signage. This might not seem like news, but for the […]

In honor of the Academy Awards happening tonight, but more importantly in honor of the Red Carpet happening before (be honest, what do you care about more?), Bwog has decided to do its second round of Oscar-related Bwog Asked. We headed to Butler to see what our fellow classmates had to say. Outside “Forever 21 tbh.” “I […]

“Me, me, MEEEE!!!” Donald Trump’s granddaughter screams to me from a few feet away.  She wants to be swirled around the pool in dizzying circles like the other girl I babysat at the golf club.  Which isn’t particularly interesting except in order to get to me she has to break the grasp from two other […]

We just received a tip regarding Israeli Apartheid Week – more specifically, regarding recent vandalism of the posters advertising this week’s events. IAW starts this Monday and runs from February 29th to March 4th. We have also attached close up images below that show the writing on each section of torn poster. Messages include, “I LOVE Israel!” […]

Yeah. You’re Welcome. Or, actually, Peter Sterne should take credit. Thanks to him, we now have our very own geotag. From 7-9pm tonight, in both Lerner and John Jay, you can add the filter to your cool food pics or your artsy photos of the John Jay chandeliers (they may not be the Vampire Weekend chandelier, […]

Bucket List represents the intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. Our recommendations for this week are below, and the full list is after the jump. If you notice any events that have been left off the […]

General information has already been distributed by the Senate, […]

Sup dudes. What’s going on. How’s it hangin’.What’s crack-a-lackin’. (No question marks needed because we’re too cool for those.) Anyway, we’ve been hangin’ in Lerner 505 lately, like pretty much every Sunday night. It’d be so chill if you joined us. But of course, it’s totally up to you. Catch ya in SGO at 7pm. Be […]
