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 […]

Bwog guest  Coogan Brennan, a Campus Character in these pages many months ago, was CC 02008.     Let me say, first, it’s an absolute honor and pleasure to be here on Bwog. I never thought I would reach the echelon of being an actual poster on Bwog. It just goes to show the saying […]

You heard her! Feel free to sing along!  

A motley band representing Philolexian Society cell CRUSHP (a one-syllable shortening of the Committee for Rectifying the Unphilolexian Sneaky Hipster Problem) has gathered on the Sundial and is hurling insults at passing hipsters. Hipsters, thus far, have not been too affected, because the catcalls are still quieter than the Norwegian middle school-themed songs blasting on […]

In the realm of the internets, it seems that WikiCU has come to a crossroads —  with the site’s owner graduating in May and most of its editors being Columbia alumni, the future of WikiCU will depend on  either a “marketing strategy” of some some sort, or on someone else taking the reigns. While Columbia […]

Columbia’s medical researchers are provoking helpless panic across the country today, but word is, it’s good for your cardiovascular health. Scientists here have upended some traditionally accepted wisdom and are now arguing (in some cases) against CT scans and abstinence. Just one more thing to worry about for two of the most lamentable at-risk populations: […]

This Saturday, the New Museum of Contemporary Art will officially open its new building on the Bowery between Stanton and Rivington.  If you’ve been around the area you may have noticed the rising stack of icy white boxes—designed by Tokyo-based architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA—that seem as if they’re about to topple over into […]

David Eisenbach has done it again–one more polarizing political figure to enlighten campus discourse. This Wednesday, December 5th, faux White House correspondent-cum-boy toy Jeff Gannon will speak at Faculty House  about his new book, The Great Media War, which promises to “take aim at liberal media bias.”  You fight that media bias, Jeff (or should […]

Too old for fairly tales, eh? The Columbia Musical Theatre Society presents Into the Woods‘ long, jaunty ride through Mother Goose’s canon. Bwog’s theatre correspondent Ginia Sweeney reviews the play and wonders how much shorter it could’ve been. I’m going to try to keep this review short because I’ve just had to sit through an […]

Oh Manhattanville! My Manhattanville, rise beyond the eminent domain! Barackin’ it at the Apollo Spectator interviews…Radiohead???  Quigs, you’ve got some explaining to do Welcome back to fourth grade.  

Boredatbutler is back, but it’s not just for Butlerites anymore. A while ago, founder Jonathan Pappas, CC ’06, relaunched the site as BoredatColumbia, in conjunction with duplicate sites at a whole host of not-quite-as-bored schools across the country. Recently, he added listings, which may just fill the void of Dogears and supplement Facebook and Craigslist […]

Remember Richard Bulliet? Remember the whole Ahmadinejad fiasco? Well history professor Bulliet was the one who extended the invite. Though for most people the drama has died down, some grudges remain. The site Richard W. Bulliet — Ratfink pretty much says it all. It’s even listed on Wikipedia as the “Unauthorized Richard W. Bulliet Homepage,” […]

What are those big black panels out on Low Plaza? In keeping with the new trend of self-expression, they’re collages created at the events at Teachers College in the last couple of days focused on homophobia, racism, anti-semitism, and Islamophobia. In case you still feel left out, there’s a whole wall for you just to […]

Israel is one of few countries on earth with two independence days: sure, you could celebrate the Jewish state’s independence on May 14th (or on the 5th of Iyar, if you prefer), in recognition of David Ben Gurion’s declaration of the state of Israel after the termination of the British mandate. But if one independence day […]

Gartenfeld- editor, IP tracker, headhunter. The eternal dilemma for Barnard students. No not, tampons vs. pads. Carrie Bradshaw vs. Judith Butler. Rhodes Scholars- they’re really really modest. I hear pitchfork gave Wolf Shirt Lesbians a 8.7. It’s okay if you never leave campus, the rest of New York isn’t much compared to Morningside Heights
