As reported a few weeks ago, SIPA professor Prabhjot Singh was attacked in a hate crime.  Many of you were interested in finding an organization to support in response to the attack.  We reached out to Professor Singh and, after a deluge of emails, press conferences, more press, and calls of support, he was able […]

With all this talk of USenate elections, Bwog’s been fielding the same question: so what exactly is the University Senate…? To that, Bwog groans and rolls our eyes: we’ve gone over this already!! To that end, we’re reposting an interview from last month with Jared Odessky, CC’15, about the Senate, just in time for you to […]

Some people just can’t wait for their chance to witness the natural splendor of Utah. Or maybe the state is just sick of losing that tourism money. (CNN) Elephants have feelings too. In fact, they might even have the same feelings as humans. (BBC) Where are our fall leaves??? Apparently even San Fran’s have changed […]

On Tuesday evening the ever-indomitable President Bollinger hosted one of his intimate (75 guests), candid (carefully prepared questions), and free-food decked Fireside Chats at 60 Morningside Drive. Curious staircase climber Alexandra Avvocato was in attendance, ready to both report and eat as many miniature sliders as possible.  Climbing up the marble staircase of Bollinger’s mansion, […]

Now that Breaking Bad is over, Bwog has to wonder what Hartley Hospitality Desk workers do whilst ignoring our maintenance requests to: have our locks fixed, get our broken toilets replaced (looking at you, Carman), and help us raise/lower/rebuild our beds. Naturally, we knew Blue Cheetah would have the answer, as our trusty source for […]

Janelle Batta, BC ’11, might be a boring paralegal by day (she thanks LionSHARE for that), but by night she saves the animals of New York City. There’s a fundraiser from 7-10 pm tomorrow night—Pawty at Pourhouse—where your alcoholism can benefit the animals of the animal rescue All Sentient Beings. Bwog’s Feline Fanatic Sarah Faith […]

Bwog asked for the weird things seen in textbooks. Here’s what we got. No shit, Sherlock: From a book on McCarthyism: “It’s hard to have a witch-hunt without witches” The editors forgot to take it out of the final draft: From a chapter on cyclic molecules: “‘Clearly the ring had an unwholesome power…’ —J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord […]

In today’s Butler Café poetry, Bwog isn’t sure whether Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana wrote this description. In any case, the cheesecake brownie isn’t too shy about its double identity. 

Thanks to the 1100-signature petition delivered by Student–Worker Solidarity to Columbia Dining, John Jay Dining Hall workers no longer have to endure a ridiculously hot kitchen. Pizza-baking, which apparently puts out a lot of heat, has been moved downstairs until Dining can put in better ventilation. Press release: This evening, workers at John Jay excitedly […]

Are you still feeling sad that Breaking Bad is over? Cry no more! The One World Symphony House here in New York is remaking it. As an opera. An anti-Semitic Elmo was arrested in Times Square and sentenced to a year in jail. Oh, and he also tried to extort the Girl Scouts for $2 […]

As we announced earlier, after an interesting turn of events, there will be a direct election for the University Senate.  There will be a debate in the Lerner Satow Room on Sunday from 4:30-5:30 pm and polls will open next Wednesday.  The candidate list has just been announced and is as follows: Conor Skelding Alexander Andresian Yassamin Issapour David Kang David Froomkin Marc Heinrich […]

Bwog was tipped about an interesting addition to a double in the LLC. Check out the picture and post below. Sometimes even a double can feel lonely, which may explain why a pair of roommates chose to welcome a life-size poster of baseball player Ty Cobb into their home. Now, it serves as a welcoming and terrifying surprise […]

It was a night of memes, millionaire know-how, passionate creativity, and indispensable advice. Sunday, October 6th, the Columbia Organization for Rising Entrepreneur’s hosted an event which brought reddit co-founder and webshow host, Alexis Ohanian, to the Roone Arledge Cinema – along with two other notable new-tech moguls and former CC students, Jared Hecht CC ’09 […]

Today Bwog ventured into the Butler Cafe and stumbled upon this marvelous muffin. Brown and beautiful, domed and doubtful, it drew us closer. Marked as “bran-tastic” we even felt an urge to try it. But then we saw a Red Bull and drank that instead.

In which Bwog brings you The Small Victories of Midterms: illustrations of the little things that make you feel good during midterm season. To start us off, we have he Butler-ite who looks surprisingly well put together. Note her poise, her intense gaze, her large head (containing a large brain of course). This is the smart and studious […]
