Happy Wednesday! As usual, Romane Thomas and Jenny Nugent are here to tell you about last night’s GSSC meeting. Last night, General Studies Student Council met for 25 minutes. Among the highlights: a near impeachment of some council members. GSSC did not have enough members this week to vote on any motion due to excused (and […]

Manhattan is getting its most ambitious subway expansion in half a century! Starting from December, the Second Avenue Line (an extension of the Q Train) will serve the Upper East Side with brand new stations at 72nd, 86th, and 96th streets. (The New York Times) The nation of Gambia announced on Tuesday its immediate withdrawal […]

One of the events featured on last weekend’s “Where Art Thou” list is a performance by Ensemble Signal, tonight at the Miller Theatre, of music by Steve Reich, an American composer well-known for his work in the genre of minimal music. At first glance, we didn’t think much of this event; most of us aren’t interested in “four […]

Leo Bevilacqua recounts a true bizarre happening that occurred between the hours of 6 and 7 in the morning last Tuesday, not far from 116th and Broadway.  Heading to an early morning class at Equinox, I left McBain sometime around 6:30 AM. It was a chilly morning, and I was bundled in a warm pullover. Particularly […]

This morning, President Bollinger sent out an email to the Columbia community with the news that Peter Awn, the Dean of the School of General Studies, is leaving his position at the end of this academic year. Dean Awn has been the dean of GS for the past twenty years, and has “been responsible for […]

Finn Klauber takes you through the exciting happenings of last night’s ESC meeting. From a new website to a new constitution, things are looking up for the ESC. After a few weeks of gently postponing a necessary ratification vote, the Engineering Student Council formally ratified their updated 2016 constitution, revised under the committee leadership of VP for Policy Sidney […]

On the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ricky Gervais, participating in a game forcing all participants to answer random questions from audience members, overshared when faced with a question pertaining to what it was like getting older. I think discussing your ‘pendulous testicles’ was a little much, Ricky. (Yahoo) In other news, Apple Watch sales have […]

With mid-terms coming to a close, the cool air blowing in and everyone desperate for Fall Break, Bwog reflects on a weekend of paying debts and placing bets on who is over class work the most.  Too bored for real work: I also joined a men’s shaving club while procrastinating a paper. Pregamed homecoming at 8am at […]

As Dean Kromm visited to discuss policy, a hushed CCSC seemed to not be too engaged in discussions of sexual violence awareness workshops or student wellness. See what Bwog learned about SVR workshops and tampon restocking last night.   A rather quiet and un-inquisitive student council met with Dean of Undergraduate Life Cristen Kromm during last night’s […]

Senior Staff Writer Ross Chapman analyses how the Columbia football team defied all odds- and physics- to win against Dartmouth this past weekend. Is this the start of the football team’s secret plan for redemption? Columbia football did not dominate in this weekend’s 9-7 homecoming victory against Dartmouth. The defense was thin on first- and second- down plays, and […]

Tom Hanks, hosting SNL this past weekend, gave America the pre-election pep talk it needs and assuring folks that everything will be alright. Hanks acts as the dad America needs right now as he fist bumps his way into America’s hearts once more. (Huffington Post) As President Obama prepares to leave office, his name withstands […]

When you saw this, you probably wondered “What are ‘Dante’s Laurels?” And if you’re SEAS or Barnard, you probably just analyzed that vague name “Dante”. And just to lap the entire Columbia circle, if you’re GS, you’re probably analgesic over us kids talking naughtily about your old Patroclean buddy. Regardless, during stressful times like these it’s often easy to forget that Columbia […]

Once upon a time, Bwog stopped writing about the f-word. Since last year, though, we are once again recognizing that the football team exists. We took to Butler tonight to ask the library-dwellers what they think about Columbia’s homecoming win yesterday (more comprehensive homecoming coverage to come tomorrow–our resident bandies/sports writers are still recovering). Butler […]

Bucket List represents the intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. Our recommendations for this week are below, and the full list is after the jump. If you notice any events that have been left off the […]

Last week, many members of the Bwog staff drowned in midterms. If you are a student that wishes to reach out to our fallen members, join us in a seance with our medium: chocolate covered pretzels. In order to move on from this painful incident, bring ideas and pitches to help the spirits cross over. Don’t worry about being scared, […]
