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). The new interface will launch later this weekend, and you’ll notice some changes–we’ve kept all your favorite features, but tweaked the site a bit to make […]

Young, fresh faces in suits have been a frequent sight on campus recently, as seniors scuttle around to consulting presentations and finance interviews. This afternoon, they all converged on Roone Arledge for the annual Career Fair, a room full of smiling representatives from companies with names like Ameritrade and the Analysis Group. Feeling contentedly underdressed, […]

So much for party unity–50% of SEAS freshman turned out for the ESC 2010 election this evening, selecting four candidates from three different parties. Your new class officers are: President – Heather Lee, the SHT! Vice President – Lili Gu, Nonstop Class Representatives – Gunnar Aasen, Nonstop, and Kelly Chen, Fuugle Bwog is confident that […]

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 […]

This Saturday night, the folk group Farm to Market will play what very well may be their last show at the Postcrypt Cafe. Founded in 2004 by guitarists/vocalists/songwriters Liron Kranzler, J.D. Porter, and cellist So Sugiyama, Farm to Market describes themselves thusly: “Liron, J.D., and So. Liron writes most of our stuff, sings, and plays […]

Bwog�s Mac has been acting up lately, necessitating a trip to the Apple Store at 58th and Fifth. Luckily, the wonderland of glass and white plastic is open 24/7, which can lead to some odd experiences. Bwog contributor Kate Redburn spent some time at the Genius Bar in the wee hours of the morning, and […]

Columbia to everyone imaginable: Give us money! FIRE to Prezbo: Don’t be a Fascist Free-Speech Oppressor. Or a P#%$y. Middle East Causes Emotional Confrontation Ruminations on the benefits of having a fake I.D. SIPA Dean Lisa Anderson to resign. Hint: It has nothing to do with Ahmadinejad. It’s not like they take Columbia classes or […]

Bwog doesn’t have the cash to “pimp your room,” and we certainly don’t want to raid it and then date you. So we bring you the semi-weekly Thursday feature, the “Cribs-esque” Room Hopping, continuing with… Ellen and Ashley C ’09 admit their newly painted jungle green Ruggles double has brought them closer together in a […]

It’s not looking good, Dianne.  The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a national free speech watchdog, has just issued a statement condemning the suspension of men’s club hockey. Not that Bollinger typically listens to rights groups; but it’s probably a good idea to avoid bad press on the eve of a four billion dollar […]
