Dear readers,   OK. We hear you. This new site was an experiment, and it’s going to keep evolving. Meanwhile, here’s our logic: we designed for ease of use and a more streamlined look, making sure that important information and navigational tools were all up high and easy to find. Shifting all the permanent features […]

Bwog reader John Heffernan, GS ’76, sent us an odd little e-mail recently about butterflies. We didn’t give it a second thought, until one Bwogger, while reading in Morningside park, noticed a little fleck of orange fluttering by. And then another, walking back to Butler, and every now and then in the past few days. […]

Columbia’s myriad of research institutes helped Bwog to realize that not only will studying PE or blebs in college prove fruitful some day, but that every research, however small, can be funded if need be. Even if you have to ask reactionary drug war people for the money. A few favorite centers: Center for the […]

Lydia DePillis and Christopher Morris-Lent report on today’s Homecoming game. Special thanks to Charles Clavey for his photos. It is generally true that suburban high schools are much better at football than their urban counterparts.  If we extrapolate this axiom and apply it to this afternoon’s contest between Princeton and Columbia, then the unhappy outcome […]

This week Cooking With Bwog brings you something a bit different: a concise guide to making great cuisine out of food stolen from John Jay Dining Hall. For those of you without a meal plan, Bwog suggests you make friends with a freshman willing to steal the food for you, and then cook to your […]

Free food from the Blue Key Society, right outside the LLC. We hear you can have chicken, mac and cheese, or fries. Get it while it’s hot…  Update (1PM): The food is gone except for a bit of salad. But if you’re a computer science major or can pretend you are, you can check out […]

Two guys walking out of McBain… Guy 1: So wait bro, what if a girl had a sex change like her second year at Barnard, would she still be allowed graduate? Guy 2: Or if a Columbia guy had one and then wanted to transfer to Barnard? Outside of Tom’s. A group of 4 boys… […]

In which film savant Iggy Cortez indulges a distaste for linear narrative. Chinese director Jia Zhangke’s fourth film The World is set almost entirely in the Beijing World Park, an Epcot-like expanse filled with unconvincing counterfeits of famous landmarks. The irony is almost unbearably biting for the park’s many workers – they can stroll from […]

Dear readers, After eight months with the same front page, we’ve decided that it’s time for Bwog to update its look (check out a screenshot of our redesign here).

Feeling contentedly underdressed, […]

Overheard earlier in the lobby of Schapiro, as a concerned mother makes a sincere effort to navigate the guest sign-in book.  Concerned Mother: This doesn’t make any sense. This is three and this is eleven. Why am I signing ten o’clock after this? Security guard 1: No this is fine. Concerned Mother: But this makes […]
