Newsworthy day for belly dancers and linguists, the Fall 2007 New Group Recognition process over at the Activities Board at Columbia comes to a close. There were five groups to make the cut: Columbia Ballet Collective, Columbia Bellydancing Troupe, Columbia Linguistic Society, Organization of Latin American Students, and Onyx.  ABC also released their 2007-2008 budget, […]

Dear John, I know this will be difficult, but our budding relationship has reached a dead end.  When I met you, it was your culinary skills that made you stand out of the crowd who just wanted to make penis jokes.  I fell so hard for you. I felt my heart beating like a percussion […]

        Last night, the cast and crew of the 114th Annual Varsity Show performed two half-hour previews. Deep in the nether regions of the “dive bar” formerly known as the West End, students and parents, as per tradition, filed into seats and booths around in the open space and piano in the back. The preview was narrated by […]

George Krebs, everyone’s favorite CCSC ’09 President is starting his Quixotic journey towards a possible E-board presidency.  On this eve of President’s Day, he could not discuss policy specifics but instead resorted to Obama-esque generalities.  The ticket of this as yet unnamed the party is still in construction (Wanted: “Outstanding” candidate for VP Funding), but […]

While many Columbia students voted in New York or nearby states on Super Tuesday,  others have voted, or will be voting, absentee.  Bwog contributor David Iscoe recounts his experience voting absentee in the District of Columbia, where they get to vote for at least one branch of the government. Whether or not you believe in […]

When friends go abroad, it’s often tiresome and troublesome keeping in contact. Adding + 44 before dialing a ten digit number? Who has that kind of time? Luckily, we are living in the age of the internets, and maintaining overseas friendships is as easy as blogging. Take Off Broadway, a WordPress blog chronicling the studies […]

“If I couldn’t get you finer things like all of them diamond rings bitches kill for, would you still roll?” “I don’t wanna wait, for our lives to be over. I want to know right now, what will it be?” “If dogs run free, then why not we across the swooping plain?”  “And I blamed […]

Bwog correspondent Christopher Morris-Lent  attends a Friendly Fire-Columbia Political Union-sponsored event and encounters a man who savors the taste of defeat . On Friday afternoon, a ragtag group of people streamed into the hallowed space at the top of Earl Hall to see Mike Gravel, once a senator from Alaska and now running a quixotic […]

Beginning next fall, the School of Continuing Education will offer a Master of Science in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution. No word on the rationale for establishing the program (Continuing Education Acting Dean Peter Awn gives some vague PR speak here), but perhaps Columbia is molding a team of crack mediators to help it defuse the […]

The erstwhile Barnard Bulletin website has gone missing! And not even 6 months since its grand re-(re?)-launch. The Bulletin’s new Clip Art and edgy typeface is nowhere to be found on the interweb, and a Google search takes one to the Barnard website, which in turn takes one to the defunct site. Bwog will update […]

NYU diarist W.M. Akers returns with ruminations on love below 14th street and why you should get in on the action. From what I understand, the Columbia dating pool—men and women, straight and gay—is a shallow one. Your battlements keep you so well-contained that you bounce off them and into each other quickly, in a […]

Blogger Yelena Shuster reports on this weekend’s production. If Valentine’s Day didn’t give you enough of an excuse to get vagina-happy, a good option is this year’s campus production of the Vagina Monologues. For those of us who have seen the show for the past three years, prepare to be shocked. This is no traditional […]

Welcome back to Cooking with Bwog, the cooking column that brings you recipes that are healthy, cheap, easy and/or cute. This week, Cooking brings you a tasty recipe that she used to make with her mom. Before divulging the recipe, I think I should justify why I’m posting something that I got from Real Simple. […]

Bwog happened to be passing through the front doors of Hamilton, as we all do several times a month, and had a companion point out something very interesting. Outside the wooden doors that Columbians know and love are a set of enormous, bunker-style doors, engraved in brass, and slid sideways behind the cement facade. (They’re […]

We’ve tallied all the votes, and we’re proud to announce the winning entry: YOU’LL DO Bwog congratulates Rob Trump for his ingenious wit and ability […]
