…we’re talking about cigars, silly! Bwog found a flyer for the Columbia University Cigar Society in Dodge the other day. Though their website doesn’t appear to have been updated for several years, Bwog is hopeful. If you know anything about this society of stogie enthusiasts, let us know in the comments!

We at Bwog know that our readers have been having a bit too much fun lately, so we thought we’d ask our resident culinary whiz Matt Powell to hook y’all up with some hangover remedies. You’ll thank us later. Not being a heavy drinker, I don’t have a ton of experience in the hangover department, […]

Bwog knew its networking sense was tingling. It’s that time of year again… the Engineering Consortium Career Fair! Students of CC/BC/GS, take note. This is how engineers get jobs: they dress in business formal and wait in lines.

Our last Columbia Moment featured the Black Avengers, a group of sophomores who wore black hooded robes and went around beating up freshpeople in New Jersey. This time, we learn about the Burial of the Ancients, a massive drunken book-burning celebration. Erik Kogut, who keeps a blog about Columbia history here, writes. How much do […]

Open (read: gender-neutral) housing at CU–it could happen! (Spec) Columbia Professor Marc Lamont Hill is suing a Philadelphia police officer in a civil rights lawsuit. Though the police have yet to comment, Bwog suspects that, like Bill O’Reilly, the police officer may have thought Professor Hill looked a bit like a cocaine dealer. (ABC News) The […]

The sixth floor of Schermerhorn is rarely the place to be seen on a Wednesday night, but on her way up the stairs, Diana Clarke, Bwog’s Book Art Bureau Chief, was almost trampled by eager fans, many clutching comics, hurrying to claim seats. They were rushing to see Chris Claremont and Paul Levitz, the men who […]

Somewhere between 110th and 118th streets and/or within Columbia’s/Barnard’s gated campus sometime after October 3rd. Has 4-6 keys, two-three key rings connected by a silver link, with tags from Rite Aid, Duane Reade, Pathmark, NYPL, etc. Can give you the full 13-digit NYPL number to prove they are mine.

Bwog’s Katheryn Thayer stopped by Sulzberger Parlor on Tuesday night to chat with DSpar about the world’s water problems. DSpar, perhaps realizing that “water” is a broad topic of discussion for her first Fireside Chat of the year, passed around pictures of the overused, depleted Aral Sea and the arsenic-laced pumps in Bangladesh. She explained that […]
