Last night, Bwog writers Betsy Ladyzhets and Gabrielle Kloppers had the honor of attending the dress rehearsal of  Chokher Bali (Sand in My Eye), the Barnard theater department’s first play of the semester. The play, which focuses on the story of a young upper-class woman in late eighteenth century Calcutta, was adapted by a Columbia […]

United States Congressman representing New York’s 10th Congressional District and CC ’69 alum Jerrold Nadler released a statement earlier today condemning the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) movement currently occurring on campus. BDS is an international campaign, and Nadler’s letter denounces its mission, as well as directly addresses actions of Columbia students. Nadler speaks out against […]

In a recent Spectator article, Columbia’s Dean of Undergraduate Student Life, Cristen Kromm, was quoted saying that students found guilty of committing sexual assault will still be eligible to apply for leadership positions in NSOP and ISOP. Dean Kromm’s comments present sexual assault and gender-based violence as “mistake[s]” and opportunities for “learning, growth, and change.” […]

Tired of all the recent sorority drama? Hoping to join an organization that loves and supports the real you? Ready to live life with no restrictions (and practically unlimited access to alcohol)? If you answered yes to any of those questions, the Columbia University Marching Band has just the place for you: Gamma Theta Beta. […]

Ready for a trip back to elementary school? You’ll be hit by waves of nostalgia when you watch the trailer for Pixar’s newest movie, Finding Dory. Let the Nemo obsession live on. (Youtube) Not only does Kanye listen to Sufjan Stevens (duh), he uses Pirate Bay to download torrent music (also duh, when you are 53 […]

CCSC Class of 2019 President Josh Schenk announced that Columbia Housing will install air conditioning units in the floor lounges of most undergraduate dorms this summer. Five undergraduate dorms already have air conditioning, and, according to CCSC Class of 2019 President Josh Schenk, installing units in other residence halls will “greatly improve the quality of […]

Dear Bwog, I’ve been having serious cravings lately. I really miss home-cooked meals and the tastes that I am accustomed to. All the food here is too colorful. But do you know what I’m really missing? Some good, ole-fashioned, sweaty white dick. Yours, cheesecake lover Dear Cheesecake lover, Don’t ever feel like you’re alone! Columbia […]

In response to Columbia University Apartheid Divest’s embracing of the Barnard Columbia Socialists’ treatment of the early 1990’s and 2000-2005 intifadas as actions of “civil disobedience,” over 600 students, alumni, and faculty have come together to condemn the characterization. The group is not representative of Aryeh, J Street Initiative, or any pro-Israel group on campus, but includes […]

Yesterday was Super Tuesday, and Donald Trump won a whole bunch of states in the Republican primaries, including Alabama, Massachusetts, Georgia, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Arkansas, capturing 192 delegates. Ted Cruz is in second place, having won Texas and Oklahoma, while Marco Rubio finishes up with a victory in Minnesota. In brief: abandon hope all […]

There are few greater joys in life than sitting down at a red Diana Cafe table with a white pizza covered in basil and cheese. Hell, we’ll even settle for a BBQ chicken or tomato basil pizza every now and then when things get desperate. But that’s it—the pepperoni pizzas are trash. Alas, we digress. […]

In response this week’s mock apartheid wall as a part of this year’s Israeli Apartheid Week, Students Supporting Israel (SSI) constructed a Pinocchio display on College Walk directly across from the mock wall. This follows Israeli Apartheid flyer vandalization earlier this week. A tipster sent us the photo below of the display as of early this afternoon. The display is believed […]

One week ago, CCSC took a stand on a very important and very pressing campus issue: toilet paper quality. Their petition on change.org provides a quote from “Joe the Pooper”, a student with particularly “anustounding” testimony regarding the unbelievably pathetic 2-ply TP Columbia’s top notch students are forced to deal with: “I’m a sophomore in […]

Today is Super Tuesday. That means thirteen states will engage in Republican and Democratic primaries or caucuses, with Alaska and Wyoming engaging only in Republican caucuses. While this day does not directly determine who will become the Republican or Democratic nominee, it will demonstrate how candidates perform over vastly different demographics across the entire United States. (Fox) […]

A couple of weeks ago, we told Columbia to get its shit together. But as February drags on longer than we thought possible and midterm season digs into our sleep schedules and self confidence, we’re starting to realize that the real culprit may not be the institution we inhabit, but our sorry asses themselves. Last […]

“This is actually something that was brought to our attention by students this past weekend,” Benjamin Makansi (CCSC President) said, when asked if the last item of business the Columbia College Student Council tackled on their Sunday night meeting (making “Cannon’s accessible beyond freshmen and Manhattan College people”) was a joke. The resolution was, apparently, far […]
