It’s almost been one week since the spring semester started, so why not get off to an even better start by coming to Bwog tonight! Come with your ideas and freeloader tendencies(there will be snacks) to the SGO on the 5th floor of Lerner at 7 pm. We will guide you in mastering the lyrics […]

Looks like attendees were having a good time (18 hours worth of time) at the Columbia University Dance Marathon (CUDM) last night. All proceeds from the “dance party” fundraising event went to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation towards the fight against pediatric HIV/AIDS. Congrats to everyone who participated, even though you’re all probably asleep right now […]

A concerned tipster clued Bwog in on a pipe allegedly bursting in the basement of Hewitt on Barnard’s campus. The building was evacuated, but students have been let in again, although water has been turned off for 3-4 hours. Computer labs in Sulzberger are currently flooded. Bwog is still awaiting a reply from the Barnard […]

Our lovely campus was covered in a thick wintry glaze on Friday, and it brought out the most profound of thoughts from our student body. Thank you, you anonymous wordsmiths! Thank you for gracing Morningside with the mastery of your craft.

Obama is to announce his plans concerning immigration reform next week, but the political gridlock characteristic of the last four years has us wondering if, keeping with history, congress will refuse to compromise. (Huffington Post) Women are underrepresented in leadership positions, with only 17% of American Fortune 500 board seats held by women. We’ve seen […]

Much to the horror of  Columbia students and Morningside residents alike, Absolute Bagels and m2m were both recently shut down by the Health Department. (How could something so delicious be so unsanitary! They’re boiled!) It didn’t take long for things to get back to normal though. Both Absolute and m2m are back up and running! […]

Here’s your Saturday afternoon pick-me-up via a fellow student: Abigale Wyatt, GS, is a young officer candidate who was featured in”Breaking Through The Brass Ceiling,” a video from the New York Times. In the video she discusses the implications of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s recent announcement that the Obama administration would be lifting the military […]

We’re all trying to get back in the swing of things for the new semester, especially waking up at the buttcrack of dawn for that 8:40 lecture. While the go-to energy source is the ever-reliable black gold, coffee, some purists would prefer to avoid caffeine induced seizures. If you’re one of those types, Bwog is here […]

Watson and Crick didn’t have the full story, it appears! Scientists at the University of Cambridge have released a new study showing that 4-stranded DNA exists within the human genome. (Fro Sci didn’t prepare me for this!) It is being called the G-quadruplexes, and there is excitement over its potential to aid in cancer research. Only […]

The “Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg” collection, currently on display at NYU’s Grey Art Gallery, is, to say enough, engaging. There’s certainly something subtly exciting about seeing a young William S. Burroughs with a young Jack Kerouac, but it suggests that excitement is better attributed to the subjects’ proto-celebrity rather than quality of […]

Professors still trying to impress? Let us know at tips@bwog.com or comment on this post. Here are some of this week’s highlights. Hlonipha Mokoena, Africa & the Anthropologist: “If you plagiarize, I will descend on you like a ton of bricks.” Sunil Gulati, Principles of Economics “Can we borrow forever? Generally the answer is no, […]

Remember when the entire lexicon of AOL emoticons consisted of tilted punctuation? Do we even need to say “XD”? How far we’ve come. Can we put down the hundreds of emoji available to us and just pick up the phone? Alexander Pines, CC ’16, says it might be time to stop screenshitting and start calling. […]

As may have come to your attention, the newly pastel lobby of East Campus transformed further over winter break, boasting new flora and cushy-yet-trendy lounge seating. In order to investigate the potential benefits of the new set-up, we reviewed the shocking decor in the most realistic manner possible: drunk. Our pregaming consists of hurried shots […]
