After 26 years at CC (and another 10 at Barnard), Dean of Academic Affairs Kathryn Yatrakis is stepping down, according to an email sent this morning from Dean Valentini. Twenty-six years is a long time! (We only have to spend four years here and cannot imagine/relate). However, the Dean will stay on as a faculty […]

Received 9:47 AM Dear Bwog, My roommate and I are still having problems. It’s gotten even weirder and I could really use some advice. Last night I had what I thought was just a dream. Well, I thought it was but my roommate has been treating me more creepily since. He brought back some weird […]

Last night, Columbia Musical Theatre Society staged its third annual production of Rocky Horror Picture Show, complete with shadow cast and call backs. Bwoggers Lila Etter and Mia Lindheimer ventured to Transexual Transylvania (aka the Diana Event Oval) to check it out. For its one-night-only production, CMTS presented the show as a shadow cast: a […]

After about a month of confusion about who would take over John Boehner’s seat as Speaker of the House of Representatives, former VP candidate and Congressman Paul Ryan will become the new Speaker. (Politico) Owen Labrie, former St. Paul’s student charged with sexual assault of a younger female classmate, was sentenced to one year in […]

Last night, Barnard College hosted a panel featuring the authors of the new book Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Judicial Junkies Courtney Couillard and another Bwog staffer checked out the event. The symbol of the “Notorious RBG” has floated around the internet for some time now, featuring images of the Supreme […]

We know you’ve been busy lately—midterms, binge-watching Netflix, and obsessively reading Bwog has no doubt taken a lot out of you. If you haven’t gotten around to preparing your Halloween costume, don’t panic! We have a few suggestions for you, now that Ricky’s is gone (RIP) and it’s even harder for you to scrounge up a […]

Do you like free candy? How about free pens? Or free stickers? Or maybe free history lessons? If you somehow answered no to all of those questions, you should still head over to Hamilton Hall and check out the Charter Day celebration going on right now. Besides the giveaways, Hamilton currently houses some cool exhibits […]

Dear Bwog, You answered my question yesterday about my troubles with my roommate, and I tried out some of your suggestions, but they didn’t seem to work. I woke up early to catch him before he left for class, but he left straight from the bathroom. I came back to the room before lunch, and […]

High school juniors at NYC public schools can now win $10 tickets to the incredible Hamilton Musical – and they don’t even have to enter into the official lottery to do it! This opportunity is provided by the Rockefeller Foundation, which donated $1.46 million to lower the prices of 20,000 special matinee tickets. (NY Daily News) […]

Dear Bwog, I’ve been having some problems with my roommate since we moved in before NSOP. He always leaves his stuff around, meaning I have to walk around his dirty clothes, class books, and used plates/utensils if I want to get to my clean half of the room. He also keeps the room really warm, […]

Cosmetics Company Urban Decay just released a new Naked palette: Naked Vault Volume II. It costs $165 (better than last year’s Vault I price: $265), but it’s still a lot to pay, unless you already(!) have your summer finance internship lined up. (Bustle) Author, Republican, and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson topped Donald Trump in a […]

It’s the thick of midterms. Fall break is merely days away, but it feels like we will never escape the bleak days of studying in Butler and crying into our Blue Java coffee cups. Alas, we will make it through even the darkest of nights somehow. To ease the pain, we bring you some of the […]

This morning, an anonymous tipster sent us a message about CCSC’s new website, though to call it a website may be a bit of a stretch. The page is full of cracked-out emoticons, grimace-y pictures of council members, and the default Lorem ipsum that no one’s bothered to change as of yet.   Is this page […]

This edition of Night in the Life comes in the form of imagined conversations between Benjamin Makansi and Vivek Ramakrishnan–a.k.a. Ben and Viv, your notoriously fearless leaders of CCSC. 10:59 pm Ben: Oh crap! We forgot to send an email about CCSC! Viv: Are you sure we did anything this week? B: I don’t know! […]

Midterms are still in full swing, and as work piles up, any unexpected complication can feel overwhelming. Whether that means suddenly catching the flu or going through a breakup, this playlist is here to commiserate with you (and if you’re simply just stressed out by midterms, that’s fine too!!). Flesh without Blood by Grimes – The […]
