Remember when Bwog turned 10? Remember when we changed our logo, posted a lot of cool articles, and reminisced about the beginning of the internet? It was great, and to perpetuate the nostalgia, here’s a Bwog Asked from patrons of ButCafé on what they think of Bwog now. The staffer who gathered these responses noted: […]

Did ya catch Obama’s State of the Union the other week? NYC’s very own mayor, Bill de Blasio gave a similar address last night, titled “State of the City.” Watch here! (NYC.gov) Democratic presidential candidates Bernie and Hill debated each other last night on NBC! Both refused to answer the question as to what issues […]

Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Columbia/Barnard Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) recently united to form a new student activist group on campus called Columbia University Apartheid Divest. The group hosted their first event tonight in order to educate the Columbia community about their campaign, Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS). The event as well as the […]

Shopping period is over, which means your schedule is finally complete and (if you’re lucky) not a complete mess. But that’s just your academic schedule. What about those extracurriculars? Don’t you wanna get involved with something? Meet new people? Since the Activities Fair is only held in September, joining new clubs during the Spring Semester […]

The most exciting news of the week: Ben & Jerry’s released a series of vegan ice creams! In flavors like Coffee Caramel Fudge, Chunky Monkey, and Peanut Butter & Cookies, the almond-milk treats could very well end global warming, bring about world peace, and get Bernie Sanders elected as President. They look that good. (Ben & […]

It looks like Columbia’s Kappa Alpha Theta chapter is at it again. At this year’s bid night, Columbia’s ever-so-problematic group of srat girls said “hasta la vista” to the racist mixer outfits, and instead took their offense to Hollywood! Earlier this morning, Bwog received an anonymous tip alleging Theta had shown a video to their new members during this Monday’s bid night containing disparaging […]

We are constantly being surveilled, which should come as no surprise to you. Even as you stand on the downtown-bound platform at 116 Street – Columbia University (in the City of New York), awaiting the rumbling, forceless approach of the 1 train, you should feel a prickling on your neck. And when you notice the […]

Demands for Barnard’s divestment from fossil fuels have been increasing, as evidenced by impassioned protests and SGA’s recent referendum on the topic. In October, the Barnard Board of Trustees announced they would consider divestment and other possible sources of income—now, in an email to the Barnard student body, President Spar has announced the launch of the Presidential […]

You can’t possibly be more down than this guy, face-down and sprawled in the dirt of the “CU Garden” (presumably—the sign’s been missing for a few days). Since we saw him standing upright a few weeks ago, we can only assume this lovable and inadequately-dressed scarecrow was defeated by none other than Snowstorm Jonas, the last […]

In dedication to our favorite anti-urbanite and American hero, Ted Cruz, we present cities in all their glory: Another day, another slashing. Yesterday, a man waiting for the No. 3 train at the Pennsylvania Ave. / Livonia Ave. station was attacked by a schizophrenic man wielding a knife. This continuation of a troubling trend makes us long […]

Today the Bacchanal Executive Board released an official statement regarding this year’s annual spring concert, appropriately titled “They Don’t Want You To Bacch.” The show is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 2, 2016, a date that was chosen “carefully to avoid any religious holidays, Days on Campus, and set-up for graduation.” As we count down the days until […]

A professor of Religion, a professor of Law, a professor of Anthropology, and a professor of Sociology walk into a bar—we mean book review. What happens? Staffers Romane Thomas and Jennifer Nugent cover what happens next.  Those who expected a staid and overly polite book launch were in for a surprise. On Monday evening, La Maison Francaise hosted […]

This week’s SGA update is brought to you by Bwog’s Brand New Barnard Bearoness, Raji Ganapathy, in the hopes of proper constitutional changes, successfully completed surveys, and responsible alcohol usage.  This Monday at SGA headquarters in the Diana Center, I sat down with the Representative Council for the first time to record and write about Barnard’s student […]

As most Barnard students are already painfully aware, half of the Barnard tunnels are closed. You can walk in between Milbank, Altschul, and the Diana, but the long trek from Barnard Hall to the north part of campus must now be made at the mercy of the elements. Or, partially at the mercy of the […]

The Iowa Caucus, the first caucus or primary in the election cycle, finished late last night with a victory for Republican Ted Cruz and a virtual tie for Democrats Sanders and Clinton. Notably, Republican Marco Rubio came within a percentage point of beating Donald Trump. Who would expect? (CNN) For the first time in five […]
