This past Friday’s away game for Columbia Basketball at Michigan State ended with a win for MSU at a score of 62-53. However, a front-page Reddit post has sparked off-topic at times heated discussion over MSU fans shouting the wrong shot clock countdowns, causing Columbia to take their shots at the wrong times. The Lions […]

Fun Fact: Bwog likes food. Sometimes we eat food at our meetings, and by sometimes WE MEAN ALL THE TIME. To prepare yourself for a food-tastic meeting at 7:00pm tonight in SGO Room on the 5th Floor of Lerner, learn the hip and cOOl abbreviations for snacks. I really hope we don’t forget to buy […]

Bwog is an intellectual who loves all poetry even if it’s bad. Poetic Justice Bwogger Claire Friedman journeyed to the annual Philolexian Society’s Bad Poetry Contest and recounted the beautiful performances. If you’ve never had the occasion to think, “wow, what a romantic poem about the NSA,” you’ve obviously never been to the Philolexian Society’s […]

Registration for Spring 2014 is almost upon us. While for most people that means putting the finishing touches on their perfectly balanced schedule (right???) for Bwog that means frantically looking for an extra-esoteric class to add to our already bizarre course load. If everything next semester just seems too normal for you, there are some…eclectic…options […]

The Biebs is pissing people off. (Hollywood.com) Alec Baldwin is being punished for saying a naughty word. (NY Daily News) Chris Brown is back in society. (CNN) On a better note that will make us want to go on the internet again… You can watch The Simpsons online legally soon! (Gothamist) One of the most […]

Shit, registration’s this week. Guess we should pick back up on this PE Madness thing. After the thrilling Sweet 16, the quarterfinals similarly saw some upsets and triumphs, all on their way to be number one. Round Three Results:

You may have heard about Columbia’s triumphant near-win last night. Baller Jeremy Sherman brings you the inside scoop. Columbia Athletics has finally gained some national attention, and deservedly so. The Lion Ballers had their best loss of the season, and possibly one of the best for any Columbia sport in recent memory. On Friday, Columbia […]

This weekend, CMTS is presenting alums Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel. The final performance is tomorrow at 2 pm in Roone. Bwog editor Alexandra Svokos caroused. Before I get into a review of CMTS’s Carousel, I have to get one thing out of the way: to our modern Columbia sensibilities, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel is, well, problematic. The female […]

In this preview from the November issue of The Blue and White (on campus now!), senior editor Torsten Odland, CC ’15, continues the fictional saga of Columbia freshman Wilson. In this novella attempt, the pair navigate the L-train and discuss innocence lost. You can read the first installment of the series, in which Wilson and Andrew first […]

This week, Bwog took a trip down memory lane in the Rare Books and Manuscript Library. If you haven’t done research there, we recommend it—in their archives are all of the undergraduate yearbooks back to the 1890s. And a lot of other important historical documents, too. After a short process of creating an account in […]

While shopping for a new pantsuit on the Express website, a Bwogger happened upon this picture of an Express model on campus. That’s right kids, our very own Columbia campus as the backdrop to a catalogue photo shoot. Accurate representation of what the Columbia population looks like. Doesn’t look like they got the tarps in frame, though. […]

Try to keep your jealousy at bay while you watch this kid live out your life dream. Here’s your daily dose of happy. Well now that that’s out of the way, let’s forget the sad. No introduction needed, here’s the shameful and disappointing. And, because sometimes dreams do come true, here’s the increasingly funny. Batman on his […]

Two big buff guys are standing in the ice cream aisle of Morton Williams. One has blonde highlights streaked in his hair. Highlights: Dude! How do you not know what creme brûlée is!? Dude: What, man!? I’m sure if you, like, explained it to me I would know what it is. I just don’t know it […]

Senior Staff Writer Sarah Faith Thompson reports: At a Student Affairs meeting earlier this afternoon, Terry Martinez, Interim Dean of Student Affairs, announced that she does not intend to seek the permanent dean position. Once the national search provides a suitable replacement, she said that she would be happier  to continue on in the role […]
