Last night, SGA met to unveil the Governing Board at Barnard, a new entity in charge of recognizing and funding student groups on campus. As per usual, Maddie Ball was there, taking a short break from her favorite hobby of clicking “next episode” on Netflix.  If you lead a student club, are in a student […]

Tonight at 6pm the Columbia Queer Alliance is hosting a free slam poetry event featuring Andrea Gibson in the Carman basement.

Later that night is CQA’s last First Friday of the year, IllumiNaughty, and the […]

The funeral will be held tomorrow at noon, at the same place. We extend […]

The USenate’s monthly plenary meeting took place afternoon in the Law School at 1:15 pm. Not to say that every meeting is smoothly deliberative… this one was a farce. PrezBo started off the meeting, and blew through approving the agenda and and adopting last meeting’s minutes. During his remarks he lauded Steve Coll, new dean […]

Maybe there is a role in the world for English majors after all: “excellent and versatile” writers, consider applying to work alongside Ashton Kutcher as the centerpiece of his new technology startup! For you seniors who are still figuring out how to avoid your parents’ basement, this could be the launchpad for your glamorous career as a […]

Bwog’s just changed a big part of itself — don’t worry, we don’t have another fabulous new redesign in the works. We’ve created a new About Us page that is actually about us! If you mosey over to the top of our site, you’ll see a little link on the upper right-hand corner that says […]

Mud-slinging in the freshman ESC race escalates in the class of 2016 Facebook group, but is resolved courteously. Bwog thinks the candidates should go at it Gladiator style, but perhaps that’s better saved for housing. Even more gratuitous gossipy screenshots below.

Tired, hungover, dedicated: Bwog’s back at it with our third day of live housing coverage. Hopefully, the only other people awake at this hour are the groups suite-selecting. Yesterday afternoon’s Senior Regroup claimed several doubles and EC Exclusion suites, as well as a big chunk of Woodbridge. What’s gone: All the EC townhouses, all the […]

  Remember 1993? Probably not, but step into any pay phone in New York and you can. (New Museum) Remember Debutante Hill? Unless you were born in 1958, probably not–but you can. This year Ig Publishing will “bring back the very best in young adult literature, from the classics of the 1930s and 1940s, to the thrillers and […]

Well, it’s Thursday again, and now that spring is almost-but-not-quite here, we’re almost-but-not-quite ready to leave our dorms for the chilly outdoors. For those of you looking for something classier different than beer pong to pregame your way to warmth, Bwog has a few of our favorite tech-based suggestions. Apparently our generation is “technologically literate,” […]

Wondering what Professor Emyln Hughes does when he’s not creating mass amounts of Froscanity? So were we. We heard that Hughes and a team of undergrads traveled to Europe to film a documentary about nuclear energy while Hughes worked at CERN, so we sent our expert on all things Froscane, Sarah Thompson, to investigate the  […]

Well, we’ve survived Day One. No tears were shed in the JJ lounge, although some angry looks were cast our way and there was some anxious floor-rolling. Overall, though, spirits were relatively high as Columbia’s best housing was snatched up in a flash, gone until the next housing cycle. Here’s a quick run-through of what’s […]

Hold on to your hats, kids! Barnard’s got some swanky new carpets. The rugs say the names of the buildings on them (so you don’t get lost, I guess?). The downside? Sources say that some of the carpets are so plush that it’s making it hard to open the doors. Say it with me now: […]

Location: 628 W. 114th St. Nearby dorms: Not many. Hogan, sorta. Stores and restaurants: Amir’s, M2M, Starbucks, International, and basically anything on Broadway. Amenities: Bathrooms: Four bathrooms per floor; each has a tub shower, sink, and toilet. AC/Heating: No AC. Plenty of heat though (especially in the smaller rooms). Kitchen/Lounge: Each floor has two kitchens/lounges, […]

Happy Thursday y’all! Breathe in that smell of sweet sweet freedom! Don’t you think you deserve a treat for getting this far? Unless you have Friday classes, in which case you can return to your study cave and cry could definitely use some brain food! Congratulate yourself for another kickass week with some goodies from […]
