Bwog’s sassiest of SGA correspondents Renée Kraiem reports.  Meeting Highlights: For the first half of the meeting tonight, Rep Council occupied the Diana Café—alone, for a closed meeting. Rachel Ferrari, BC ’13 and vice president of student government, reported along with a few other members of the Rep Council on the third annual Seven Sisters […]

HamDel has always been our go-to for a number of collegiate necessities, albeit generally of the comestible variety. Where would we be without our beloved Lewinsky, our oft-craved Stallone? Even when we’ve needed some preemptive ibuprofen to go with our late-night (read: drunken) meal, HamDel has always pulled through. And just when we thought we […]

Bloomberg reports that Michael Wymbs, one of the five Columbia students implicated in last year’s Operation Ivy League drug bust, has pleaded guilty to the court’s drug charges. By doing so, he will be eligible for five years’ probation instead of a 2.5-year prison term. Last month, state Supreme Court Justice Michael J. Sonberg ruled […]

…water, obviously. What’d ya think we were talking about, silly? Our well-hydrated friends at Hillel are currently stationed on College Walk, and they’d really love to chat with you about their ridiculously-named new fundraiser, Chugging for Change. Challenge your crazy Columbian friends to chug water for charity—the more change you donate, the more they’ll have […]

At 1 am this morning, hundreds of police officers raided the two-month-old Occupy Wall Street encampment in Zuccotti Park. Tune in here for a live stream of the events. And despite efforts to suppress media access to the park, Bwog and B&W alum Avi Zenilman was there. IvyGate blogger Wilfred Chan, CC ’13, met up with a few Columbians there as well. Bwog […]

Bwog’s coming at ya with an early morning news flash: the new Crumbs location on 109th and Broadway will be giving out 1,000 (yes, as in a thousand) free cupcakes tomorrow (today?). But you best be off to sleep soon if you’re looking to nab one; they open at the inconceivably early hour of 7 […]

“People like chocolate. People like wine. Let’s put them together.” When we spotted ChocoVine featured prominently at the front of our fair International the other day, the first thing we wanted to see was the supply and demand curve used in the slide deck that eventually produced this abomination. The second thing we wondered was […]

This week marks OccupyCU’s Student Week of Action. Read on for Bwog’s resident #OWS correspondent Jed Bush’s coverage of Day One: “End the Sotheby’s Lockout” rally.   Columbia’s Student Week of Action, orchestrated by OccupyCU, got off to a rather low-key start today, but that didn’t stop the 25 or so protesters planted in front of the […]

If you do, and at least some of those things happen to be magazines, then join us at 9 pm in the crypt of St. Paul’s Chapel to learn about how you, dear reader, can get involved in the Blue & White, also known as Bwog’s maternal figure/Oedipus complex/Freudian field day. We’ve […]

Sick of studying all day and night? So is the star of our most recent Butler Archetype—but, like, actually. Read on as Anna Bahr investigates whether her table mate has the Bubonic Plague, or just the world’s stuffiest nose…  It’s the night before that one really important midterm—you’re already enormously uncomfortable. A continuous chorus of sniffles and […]

Bwog hasn’t been able to stop wandering aimlessly around campus staring up at all of the beautiful trees and leaves these days. But we keep bumping into other people and hard objects, so in order to benefit the health of everyone around campus, we’ve compiled a photo essay featuring the bright foliage of this most […]

There’s not much that’s better than Jeopardy. Well, unless you combine it with free pizza. And you can do just that tonight in Lerner 555, where Scientists and Engineers for a Better Society are hosting Nerdy Trivia Night from 5:30-7:00 pm. There will be free pizza and beverages, and the format of the night will […]

Don’t you just hate how your friends are always pressuring you into things you don’t want to do? Things like drugs, alcohol, and… sandwiches? Woebegone on Broadway: “I hate it when people bring me to the deli. They’re like, let’s go to the deli! And I’m like no!” Rather gratuitous meat selection via Wikimedia

Madura Farms drops by the Columbia Greenmarket every so often with an offering of mushrooms, and after hearing tell of their mythical abilities, Bwog’s resident magician Briana Last dropped by to uncover the truth in this edition of Tales from Farmville. Upon her arrival at the Madura tent, she was directed to Dan Madura, the […]
