“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.

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 […]

Kurt Kanazawa takes a journey into the realm of one of Career Services’ less orthodox clients. On behalf of a dare, from myself mostly, I decided to actually open and critically consider a “Career Services” email. The Gmail crystal ball spun, and lo and behold I found myself staring at the career event of a […]

Perhaps I’m a product of another era, but I’m pretty sure that bartenders used to be discouraged from sleeping with their drunk clientele. When I was young, smoking in dorms was not only tolerated, but encouraged, goddamnit! Call me old-fashioned, but everyone knows that the real meaning of Valentine’s day is celebrating monogamous heterosexual relationships […]

Dreamy man-children, oh goodness, how endearing It’s Hip! It’s Culture! It’s Cutting-edge! It’s hip, cutting-edge culture!  Hey, that sounds good, let’s say it again!

Bwog’s senior year correspondent from the class of CC ’12, reminds us of how good it felt to sneer at the kids who got candygrams and roses on Valentine’s Day. Thanks to the efforts of one environmentally-conscious freshman biology teacher, it was announced this year that for the first time since its inception, the annual […]
