Harry and the Potters are coming to Columbia. Yes, they’re a real band—kind of like a wizardy version of They Might Be Giants. Anywho, the sophomores of CCSC decided to make a video about the upcoming Potterpalooza. Ryan Mandelbaum stars as a super badass Harry, and Deaton Jones plays a menacing Malfoy. Bwog was a […]

Dear Bwog, The following is my stream of consciousness while trying to write a paper in 209: Curse you cursor, mocking my mindlessness and blinking before my blank screen! That grad student sitting across from me is revealing a little too much chest hair. When did unbuttoning the top three buttons become acceptable? Now he’s […]

Holy shit, Kofi and Lee just walked up Low Steps like it was no big deal. Bwog is kvelling!

Dear Friends, Please join the staff of The Blue & White (pictured at right) for our meeting tonight, Monday night, at 9:00 p. m. in the basement of St. Paul’s Chapel. Our layout weekend is just around the corner! So tonight we’ll be hearing updates from writers and assigning a few last-minute items. We’ll also […]

Bwog had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the visionaries behind one of Columbia’s newest (and largest) organizations: the Fun Club. Founded at the start of this semester, the Fun Club is dedicated to simple, free, non-résumé-stuffin’ fun. The brainchild of two seniors, Neil Shahrestani GS’11 and Lior Hemi GS’11, and a sophomore, Nicole Rumore CC’13, […]

Grant D’Avino reports! Last night’s CCSC meeting opened with introductions, as it was the first meeting that included representatives and officers from the class of 2014. Along with his or her name and position in CCSC, each person was asked to share an adjective that described him or herself at the present. Bwog’s favorites, in […]

It’s four square! No, not the sketchy social networking site, but the playground game. Relive recess, kids! Spotted by Sarah Ngu

One of the greatest perks of an Ivy League education is having all sorts of guest lecturers and talks hosted right on campus. Yet many of these great talks are not publicized enough. Enter Bucket List, a weekly feature that aggregates these events in a single location that will hopefully make you realize, like Bwog […]

Way back in 1492, Columbus landed in the New World. Fun fact: Columbus never actually set foot in North America. He only got as close as the Bahamas (History.com).  And remember the Downie Diatribe? Politicians hurl Italian-American slurs and “bring the buffoonery of Jersey Shore” to the Governors race. Perhaps the fist pump is the […]

This week, the weather goes underwater and then plays squash racquetball. Special thanks to our football team for winning three games in a row, Shira Laucharoen for lending us the camera, John Nordin for the underwater camera, Jackie Smith for filming, and Tiffany Lee aka Vis à Vis. Check out her non-BwogWeather music here. Onward, Weather-Friends!

Peter Sterne sat down with the anonymous foundress of Cookies on Campus. Cookies on Campus delivers chocolate chip cookies to your door not-for-free! Why did you decide to start a cookie-delivery business? I’m a senior in the College majoring in PoliSci who really likes to bake. I even considered dropping out of Columbia two years […]
