Remember like, a month ago when art ran amok? Well its reign of terror continues, this time in the Piano Lounge, where last week’s wall against prejudice has taken up temporary residence. It’s worth a walk-around, and the fact that the piece dominates the once-roomy lounge is probably symbolic, or something–Bwog finds it a bit […]

Ahmadinejad, Horowitz, racism, hunger strikes, really ugly tenure battles…and now murder. Don’t fret, 2011s: it (hopefully) gets a lot less exciting from here. What’s that you say? Visualizing the RP murder isn’t enough for you? Very well. Click here. Men’s basketball still 0-0 in Ivy League play Think of the children! …or think of the pigeons? […]

All month, Bwog has been waiting with bated breath while the Speccie population at Columbia has feverishly shadowed for their desired positions, written long proposals, and faced the firing squad of this year’s board. At the end of it all, campus news deputy Tom Faure came out on top for Editor-in-Chief in what was originally […]

Word has it a man was shot and killed at Radio Perfecto earlier this evening. Some serious shit definitely transpired: as Bwog passed the bar at 118th and Amsterdam at around 3:45 AM it spotted about a half-dozen police cars, an ambulance, and a camera crew; the block had been cordoned off with police tape […]
