A band of mysterious vigilantes just swept through the ref room posting pictures of naked (“nude” for you sophisticated Art History major you!) people. It turns out they are leftover drawings from Artist Society’s weekly life-drawing classes. They’re there for the taking, but we’re obviously all watching you, so good luck! But wait! There’s more […]

Pre-frosh! Upon reading this review you will be appraised of 3/4 of your housing options! You’ve already learned your Carman from your John Jay. That’s like first-year housing ABCs! You’ll be ready for May 1st in no time. Now, behold Furnald. It’s a pretty cool, and different, place. Tomorrow we’ll give you a taste of […]

We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue & White (see About) by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is a cornucopia of delights: the quest for a Columbia quidditch team; drugs, sex and ROTC; and a discussion of the institution of the Columbia presidency. In the Conversation, […]

Poems. Essays. Witty one-liners. Witty one-worders. You spend hours and hours (okay, minutes and minutes) crafting brilliant responses to our posts, and we’re sorry your efforts have gone unnoticed recently. We’ve had some technical glitches with our Favorite Comments system, but through the magic of “CS majors” they’ve been fixed. Finals are coming up soon, […]

In this rapidly changing world, we sometimes feels a little behind the times. Old Man Bwog aims to address the eternal gripe: “What’s up With That?” Dear Nostalgic Students, I understand your longing for times past, but I have trouble understanding the recent trend of throwback backpacks. “Life was simpler then,” you think. “And when I […]

When they’re not jamming or answering our inane questions, Columbia faculty enjoy getting dirty in the lab. Bwog takes a moment to look back on this week in science. Headlines were compiled by our Resident Scary-Number-Things Expert Ricky Raudales. Using cutting-edge computer models, scientists at the Earth Observatory determined that the depletion of ozone over Antarctica has directly […]

Over the weekend we donned our masks in New Orleans and got folked up in Nashville. Sadly, it’s time to get back to work. The Great American Roadtrip will come to its final stop tonight in Washington DC (the Wien Lounge, mysteriously fitting). Stop by the College Days closing ceremony from 5 to 6 pm to […]

Bwog’s Beloved Arts Editor Megan McGregor spotted this incredible poster of Lionel spotting her. Which tab would you take?

“How much of what I’ve told you about myself over the course of this semester do you think is true or valid? Absolutely none of it…”* It’s that time of the year again, when your professors make sardonic, life-changing comments because they are glad to be rid of you and your smartphone and your youthful […]

A big thank you to Bwog Editor Emeritus but Always With Us In Spirit Anish Bramhandkar for tipping these great graphs. The people at the popular online-dating site, OkCupid, crunched their user-provided data to create ten very amusing graphs. Among the findings–vegetarians like giving oral sex more than their omnivorous peers, people on Twitter are more than […]

Those walking across campus today be forewarned, the heart of Low plaza is roped off for graduation preparations. The end is nigh!

CU Exposure is giving away free food on the second floor of Lerner now until 1 pm. Artwork by Columbia students is on display. Go appreciate your fellow students […]

CCSC gazed long into the abyss, Brian Wagner gazed back into them. Melissa Im, the president of Columbia’s chapter of the Ivy Council gave a presentation on why CCSC’s Bylaws should allow CCSC to play a large role in electing Ivy Council’s leadership. Ivy Council is an organization that gathers together members from all the Ivy […]

Fashions change, but tradition lives on. New Yorkers sported interesting Easter attire as they galavanted about yesterday. (AP, Examiner, Gothamist) Recent findings that the iPhone stores a log of its user’s location for the past ten months in an unencrypted file leaves some longing for cellphones past. A Latvian man has wedded the OED’s “twitter” with the Internet’s […]
