Did CCSC fowl up my great eggspectations or did they rise above the coup?    Be it resolved: no more inhumane eggs in John Jay.  While the council tabled discussion on other socially conscious dining issues, the campaign for cage-free fowl in Columbia took a major step forward now that the official representative body of […]

Ah, Eid ul Fitr, when, after 30 days of no food or water while the sun shines, the practicing Muslims of the world are allowed to indulge in feasting and revelry ’til their belt-buckles burst with delicious joy. And Sunday night in Roone Arledge was a joyous night indeed as the Muslim Students Association feted several hundred guests of every […]

In which Bwog conspiracy theory debunker Alex Weinberg takes on something that’s been bugging us for a while. What’s up with those teeth? For the past few weeks, there have been odd dental-themed art installations seen outside of Nacho’s and on the scaffolding across from Carman on 114th Street. The remains of a former installation […]

YouTube can be a goldmine when you’re bored enough.  

One-time B&W writer Natasha Chichilnisky-Heal, rather than starting junior year, lit out for Mongolia. They have investment banks there too! There’s a common saying in Mongolia: “margash, margash…” Translation: “tomorrow, tomorrow.” Perhaps what amounts to an expression of Mongolian time-dilation explains why I’ve decided to delay my return to Columbia for a year. After all, […]

“Hey! What’s up, Chuck? Eh, maybe you don’t want to know… it’s not pretty!” “Hey, nice suit! 100% polyester?” Part of Siemens Science Day at Columbia University.

Sure, you can do it in your pyjamas, but running a blog is still work–and right now, Bwog is a few daily editors short. Each of our staff of seven Bwoggers is on call for one 24-hour period per week, QuickSpecking, making posts out of tips that come into bwgossip@columbia.edu…and bantering via e-mail about nothing […]

This year, Bwog’s doing a better job of getting to every student production and telling you about it. There’s still one more night to see the King’s Crown production of The Real Inspector Hound. When a cold gust ripped through Wien at the play’s most tense moment, everyone looked around for the wind machine — […]

Should you care to look back on the last week with us as we procrastinate on those last few midterm papers, Bwog brings you one of its occasional Weeks in Review. Homecoming happened on Saturday  — we’re hoping for better luck next year, both in terms of wins and coverage. In the meantime, Bwog saw […]

In case you missed what’s what happened on Low Plaza this evening, the CSC Night Market brought a different sort of lion to life: Photos by Justin Vlasits. A handful more after the jump.

Better late than never, here are some off-campus alternatives courtesy of Bwog correspondent Pierce Stanley. John Scofield at Blue Note Making his only East Coast tour stop at the Blue Note Jazz Club, Scofield and the ScoHorns celebrate the release of jazz funk guitarist John Scofield’s newest album This Meets That.  October 19-21. 131 W.

Over the last week we asked you, our readership, to submit your entries to our first Photoshop competition featuring your favorite/least favorite professors in remodeled garb.  Anyway, we hated to have to choose a winner, so instead we decided to play the proud parent and post all the lovely artwork we received on what we’d […]

Even though M.I.A.’s latest release Kala has been out for half a year, she still managed to sell out new venue Terminal 5. Bwog staffer Lucy Tang treks to the boondocks of midtown and finds that some artists are worth a 2-hour wait. M.I.A. makes me feel less of a woman. Artist, singer, dancer, political […]

Noose goes through DNA testing — meanwhile, we realize NYPD “Hate Crime Task Force” sounds badass Please, the MPAA is so 1999! Better luck this weekend, hopefully? The title of this op-ed pretty much says it best Published yesterday, but wow, this is letter is old-school (literally!)

A Bwog tipster recently brought to our attention that the Alpha Delta Phi pirate flag has been missing from the 114th Street brownstone for awhile now. What happened? “It was apparently stolen by MIT’s chapter of the frat last week,” so says our tipster (although this has not been confirmed by ADP itself). If so […]
