If you read the recent Spec article, you know that professors across the blogosphere are now at risk. What they write online could result in a loss of promotions, denied tenure, or trolls eating their firstborn. Bwog decided to send Dan D’Addario to look at a few faculty blogs. What did we learn? A great […]

Bwog has been tipped off to a seemingly inexplicable makeover: the bathroom near the swipe desk in Carman has been redone and turned into a “Lactation Room.” Most seriously. If you are a woman, a baby, or handicapped, you can check it out. And, by all means, do. The possibilities are endless.   As are […]

In its typical stalker fashion, Bwog followed a group of children this afternoon, fascinated by their caretakers’ kid control technique. What would happen if we tugged the string?  The leaders, apparently, have a better way of dealing with differently-minded youngsters. “S-T-O-P everyone! Someone got a flat tire,” one said, and the line came to a […]

Student councils not pussies, unlike non-Ice Hockey players Corporate whore or effete intellectual? Now you don’t have to choose! Ahmadinejad is a meanie, we poop on him Ahmadinejad is a meanie, we want to have an open cultural dialogue Jake’s One Regret

Previewing Stiglitz’s Next Best-Seller Last Tuesday night’s World Leaders Forum kickoff event was billed as “a discussion with distinguished panelists” on the subject of globalization. It ended up more like the first leg of a book tour for University Professor and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, who monopolized the event, discussing his forthcoming manifesto, Making Globalization Work.

After years in cramped doubles, Lala, Masha, Frances, and Samantha got their golden ticket  to a […]

Always up for controversy, Bwog perked up this morning at a Spectator headline declaring that President Ahmadinejad of Iran had been invited to speak at Columbia. We soon e-mailed Public Affairs Director Robert Hornsby to see if he could save a seat for us, and minutes later recieved this response: “Event was never scheduled. – […]

  Let’s not kid ourselves- we’ve all been rudely awoken by the ungodly shrieking of a fire alarm and we’ve all cursed the name and bodily person of the (usually) faceless, unknown culprits. But, thanks to the personal touch of Columbia Housing and Dining, fire alarm emails have recently included the specific suite numbers of […]

Looks like the baristas over at Oren’s Daily Roast are getting hard up for tips. Bwog is generally skeptical of those who exploit cute animals for monetary gain, but is willing to give them points for originality.

Apparently, professors at our fine institution have had sex on the brain these past few days.  Bwog tipsters have sent in no fewer than four quotes on the subject from their classes, here compiled. From Professor Don Melnick in today’s Biodiversity lecture: “So if I had a jar, I could reach into the jar, and […]

It’s that time of the week again: almost Friday, and no one to take to the prom. Never fear! Bwog Personals presents you with the equally stunning Amanda and Orlando. If either of these two strikes your fancy, email bwgossip@columbia.edu and let us know. If it’s a match, we’ll spring $5 for a date. Coffee, […]

Tomorrow is a big day for all you Sorority hopefuls out there: starting at noon, dreams will be made and hearts broken as new member bids become available for pickup in Lerner.
