Bwog received a press release this afternoon from the Bacchanal Board informing us that a Spring Bacchanal concert will be held on April 4, 2015. This change in date allows for the concert to not fall during the Days on Campus weekend as it has in previous years. While some concerns about the state of Bacchanal have come up through students […]

Joe Milholland reports back with the latest from the University Senate. At the beginning of the December 11 University Senate plenary, Executive Committee Chair Sharyn O’Halloran talked about the protocols for the University calling the police. At every protest on campus, she stated, VP of Public Safety James McShane notifies the police. However, for the […]

Finals are tough. Maintaining a happy, healthy diet might be even tougher. One Bwogger shares her field food notes from the week. MONDAY 8am: Last night’s halal still stuffed to esophagus. Room only for coffee and disgust and Russian homework not completed. 11am: Feeling hopeful. Maybe will eat a vegetable today. Granola bar for now. […]

We typically start our mornings with coffee as dark as our souls and some light Bwoglines, but who can manage that during finals? We have exams to take, mornings to sleep in, and trips to Butler to procrastinate. Bwogline: Congress has just passed a bill that will allow $1.1 trillion in spending…amid rancor in the House. (The […]

While you’re going to have to wait for our full review of Orgo Night, we bring you the script of tonight’s performance by the Columbia University Marching Band. CUMB packed Butler 209 per tradition the night before the Orgo exam and delivered uncomfortable jokes to their audience. Take a break from reading about some boring […]

We’ve brought you to cafes in the neighborhood, and your better options right here at home. We’ve shown you classy cafes, conjuring up images of lands far away. Today we bring you back to reality. You’ve got papers due and finals to study for. You can’t remember the last time you showered. Let’s not even […]

At 3:00 this afternoon, the Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid offices crowded onto College Walk to send the first batch of admission letters for the Class of 2019. Despite the cold weather, the officers somehow managed to remain cheerful—along with their sizable array of camerapeople toting DSLRs, point-and-shoots, phones, and iPads. (Bwog estimates there was […]

President Spar sent an email to Barnard students this afternoon explaining the Board of Trustees approach to adding a transgender policy to Barnard’s admissions for the future. A handful of all-women’s colleges have already implemented transgender policies in their own admissions. On campus, Barnard students have called for a change to address the non-existent admissions policy for […]

Like us, you probably harbor a burning hatred for the Columbia Business School. Perhaps it’s because they dare claim a building on campus so we have to look  at them as they go to class. Perhaps it’s because of that ridiculous sculpture out front, a testament to their lack of culture and also to how they […]

Tonight, we celebrate our school as best we know how with communal food before finals and offense given to everyone and everything! At precisely the stroke of midnight, in Butler 209, the Columbia University Marching Band will be hosting “the 60th consecutive 69th semi-annual Orgo Night.” This alleged act of public service (as well as […]

Take a moment, this finals season, and remember this school’s long and noble past. Remember the simpler times, the more idyllic times, the times when prostitutes gathered across the street and young men stole wine from our president. Debauched Bwogger Henry Litwhiler brings you a moment from our glorious, degenerate history.  “King’s College” summons up certain idyllic images […]

You don’t have time to read a full Bwoglines; Bwog doesn’t have time to write a full Bwoglines. Slack this morning with a Bwog in Bed secure in the knowledge that there is no judgment here, only commiseration.  Bwogline: Last night, Columbia men’s basketball took on Kentucky, number one in the country. And it forced Kentucky to […]

Dear Bwog, One of my friends is having a hard time finding mental health help. She has panic attacks and really severe depression. She was really triggered by the recent death, and went to counseling services in search of immediate counseling and medication to control her panic attacks. She asked Furman for immediate counseling and […]

Bwog likes to inform our readers of every event around campus, from social justice jamborees to science seminars. We sent our own little Martian Mason Amelotte to space Low Library on Tuesday to learn more about Mercury. Why do we explore our solar system? It’s a question people don’t often think about. Most would say […]

Tired of Butler? Sick of burning your tongue on another scalding Starbucks latte? Want to pretend you’re spending your winter break in Europe? Bwog brings you the third installment of our cafe reviews–this time, we’re covering cafes that will make you feel as if you’ve been transported to the streets of Paris or Budapest or […]
