Update: The Package Center is open again, but the line is reportedly “ridiculously long,” and you still need your rack number. For those of you without smart phones, this means planning ahead (!). According to a tipster, Lerner’s package database is down. Although earlier today that only meant you’d need your package’s rack number listed […]

Time’s a tickin, folks. Applications for Bwog Daily Editor are due at midnight tonight!

Overheard at Barnard “I bought Old Spice and sprayed it all over my room so people would think boys are over.” Across campus, Hartley looked like it needed to tone down on the product a bit:    

Keep your eyes open for the September issue of The Blue & White, coming soon to campus. Until then, Bwog will honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting highlights of the upcoming issue online. Among the treats to look forward to: a litany of bizarre and outdated freshman hazing rituals, a conversation with a luminary on DIY […]

You’ll have to wait till January 13th to find out why anyone would choose Lerner as a pickup point for a sketchy package, but until then you can watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt run up the ramps and be threatened by a dirty cop by College Walk. The trailer for Premium Rush is out!

And the celebrity spottings continue. Multiple tipsters saw Rob Lowe, better known to West Wing fans as Sam Seaborn, roaming around campus yesterday. He was apparently “followed by a really handsome and well dressed teenage boy, with an equally impressive jawline.” Another tipster managed to snap a picture from behind. Rob’s in the pale blue […]

It’s been a swell time for science lately. Like Google, Bwog dedicates some space to celebrating discovery today. Rejoice Star Wars geeks! NASA’s found Tatooine! A planet that orbits around two stars for multiple sunrises and sunsets. Start planning your 3.5 million year journey to this uninhabitable planet! Dr Oz says Apple juice might not […]

Wasn’t it a beautiful night?

So you’ve just finished your first week of “real” classes (unless you’re one of those poor suckers with class on Fridays…you have our sympathies), you’re exhausted, and you really need a drink. Drinking with Bwog is here to help. Read on, lazy Columbians, as the Columbia Bartending Agency’s Matt Kalish teaches you to make the […]

Lost in either in 616 Computer Lab or Butler. Contains my resume, which has all my contact info on it. If found, I’ll give you a hug! Email ajg2169@barnard.edu.

As promised, Columbia College’s interim dean, James Valentini, just released a video to the Columbia community. For about ten minutes, he explains why he is dean, his vision for the College, his bit part in this Prangstgrüp video, and how he cringes at some parts of Bwog (don’t worry, we do too). Valentini assures us […]

Haakon’s Hall, on 118th and Amsterdam, seems to have a pretty good idea of what college kids want. You can now find Everclear there—the hard liquor, not the alternative 90’s band—which in its 190-proof form is the most potent distilled spirit (it’s also illegal to sell in several states). So if those shots of Nikolai […]

So fabulous, so Fayerweather. Only the best for the Tweedster.  

It began innocently enough. The Columbia International Relations Council and Association (CIRCA, formerly known as Model UN) announced to their members that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (who gave a speech at Columbia in 2007), in town for the United Nations General Assembly, had invited them to a dinner on September 21st (the logistics of this […]

We’ve all been rejoicing at the sight of green flags on the lawns outside Butler lately, but Bwog was much less pleasantly surprised to find a similar hue within the building. Water of a somewhat sickly shade was spotted in a fountain on the 5th floor last night. Not only that, but it appears there […]
