Bwog received a tip that one Stephen Snowder—fearless Columbia student and Chief Editor of Columbia’s The Lion—had created a WordPress blog called CUMBsucks, mock-mocking the Columbia University Marching Band. This site was modeled after the original specsucks website (which of course now looks like this). He has since took it  down, but you can peek at it here. Snowder […]

This week Bwog received a tip about a student, Sonya Li, who baked a ludicrous amount of baked goods last week. Unfortunately she sold them for money instead of distributing them to downtrodden passersby on College Walk free of charge (just kidding, kidding). Fortunately, she sold them for a good cause. Bwogtastic Bwogger Heather Akumiah […]

Bwogger Britt Fossum is as competitive as they come. She competitively skates, competitively eats hamburgers, she even competitively sleeps. So when she heard about Columbia’s “Leadership in Organization” class, she knew it was her time to report. Below, Competitive Cassandra lists the top items that business majors were able to attain by trading a paper […]

The Master of all things Meetings, Lauren Beltrone now brings to the interwebs the latest in the SGA world. Adventure, intrigue and perilous plans ensue.  In October, SGA asked us how we would spend the $32,000 endowment in way that would help the whole student body. We heard four of the best proposals pitched at Monday’s […]

Keenan Albee, the funnier half of Ke(e)nan and Kel, brings you yet another recap of Monday night’s ESC meeting. What does ESC stand for? We don’t know, just read. This Monday brought the latest installment of fun times with ESC, and centered around turning an eye to issues set to populate post-Thanksgiving meeting agendas. Expect […]

Last night Bwog reported that ZBT had lost its national charter until 2015. Since then, Student Affairs and ZBT’s national organization (press release below) have verified this. The press release notes that operations of Columbia University’s ZBT have been suspended “following a decision made by the current undergraduate brothers of the Delta Chapter to resign […]

Madysen Luebke is Bwog in her evolved form. Read her words. All Weekend: The Barnard Dances 9th season allows dancers to get experiences with real world choreographers in a real theatre.  This year the pieces were choreographed by four different world-class artists.  Performances are Thursday and Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 2pm and 8pm.

The Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid sent Bwog some information regarding the Early Decision applications for CC and SEAS, for the Fall 2014 school year.   This year, Undergraduate Admissions received 3,296 Early Decision applications to Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, which was a […]

5 Pointz in Long Island City, Queens, was literally whitewashed yesterday. Fuck you, the man. (NY Daily News) So as you all know, there was talk about raising the tobacco-buying age to 21. It isn’t just talk. Fuck you, the  man. (Huffington Post) What the fucking fuck fuck? Fuck you the man(s). (Yahoo) Wait. This […]

Yesterday, Bwog received tips that there was a mouse auditing a social psychology and political science class in 501 Schermerhorn. Senior Staff Writer Alexander Pines brings you this recollection of the events from the mouse’s perspective. This wouldn’t have happened if Schermerhorn was a normal building, not some House of Leaves shit. I saw a […]

Remember back a few weeks ago when all hell broke loose, the end of the world was nigh, and chunks of ceiling started collapsing in Mcbain? After reaching out to housing to ask some questions, the Executive Director of Communications for facilities, Dan Held, sent this statement. Ceiling debris issues are fairly uncommon; this year […]

At last night’s IGC meeting, the Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life announced that Columbia’s ZBT has lost its original charter from the national organization, as reported originally by The Lion. It’s unclear why this happened, or whether it’s related to the hazing incident or the Ivy League Championships celebration party that caused them to lose […]

There are two free food events today, and Bwog wants to attend both, too. Thanks to plenty of tips, the first is at 9:00pm tonight in the Dodge Room of Earl Hall: The Columbia Neuroscience Society will be hosting a talk with Dr. Carl Hart. There was recently a New York Times article about him […]

Because Bwog occasionally likes to dabble in the fine arts, we sent Claire Friedman, Lord of the Dance, to check out the CoLab fall showcase this past weekend. If I had to sum up my feelings regarding CoLab 2013 in a few words, I would probably say, “wow….wait, what?” While the dancing itself was incredible, […]

It wouldn’t be a Columbia semester without a tiny yet massively confusing administration change. In an email sent out just yesterday by Kathryn B. Yatrakis, Dean of Academic Affairs, Columbia College students found out that as of the Spring 2014 semester, the “UW” grade will no longer exist and the “W” will be introduced. Apparently […]
