Here’s the link to the full elections results with percentages of the vote included. We’ve pasted the winners below. Most notably, TAP won most of the CCSC E-Board, Wadood […]

This poor girl collapsed on a rather uncomfortable looking bench just inside Pupin’s front doors. The red coat is reminiscent of Little Red Riding Hood, but judging by her head placement she’s going to be out for a while, so Sleeping Beauty is probably a more appropriate analogous fairy tale. Enjoy that bench and get some, […]

In the ongoing controversy regarding the Barnard College administration’s removal of the banner that SJP hoisted on the façade of Barnard Hall, many student organizations have spoken up in response, including J Street CU, LionPac, SGB, Columbia Turath, SGA, ABC, and now the Governing Board at Barnard.

These three fine gentlemen were found in Havemeyer professing their words of wisdom through the pages of Columbia history. If you’re worried your senior quote won’t have the wit to stand the test of time, take a lesson from the men who came before you. They could also probably teach you a thing or two […]

Recently President Obama and BoSox heavy hitter David Ortiz snapped a selfie together in good spirits. However it was then revealed that it was all a ploy by Samsung to get a POTUS selfie taken with their phone. The White House has now openly criticized Samsung for the shameless self-promotion. Who knew a selfie could […]

Life is hard at Columbia. Which means that everyone here could use a good cry every now and then. But space is at a premium here, which means that finding a quiet spot to emote in peace—much like finding a place to hook up—can be very difficult. Perhaps you a rising sophomore just learning that […]

It’s tour season and one fellow Columbian started cracking wise at the Lerner turnstiles: “What is this?” “It’s a really long omelette line.” The omelette might be worth the slowed traffic but some poor Barnardian won’t be able to enjoy a drink with her meal. A true tragedy.

This year, Barnard received […]

ABC just came out with a statement of unanimous support for SJP’s recent actions regarding Barnard’s banner policy and the “opaque and arbitrary treatment of student groups” by the Columbia/Barnard administration. The statement involves discussion of student groups’ role on campus, the administration’s supposed role in helping those student groups, and the policies involving group […]

The Columbia Alumni Association’s “Columbia LOVE” photo album project became so popular, they’ve come up with a spin-off that might be even cuter: “WEE ♥ Columbia.” Now, the stories and photos of these “Lion cubs” haven’t yet caught on like the first series, but we suspect more submissions soon. Here are our favorites — and […]

There was a fatal shooting at Fort Hood in Texas yesterday, leaving four dead, including the shooter, and fourteen injured. This is the same exact location of another shooting that occurred in 2009. (Slate) GM recalls your car. Again. (The Economist) The fast food chains are waging war on each other — and your body […]

It’s Wednesday night, and you’ve just seen your more social floormates/ every single person in your 10:10 seminar tomorrow/ your freshman RA head to Senior Night. However, despite it being Wednesday night, Bwog still has midterms (WTF) and, swamped, was frankly all set to let you fall asleep comfortably in your bed in Butler 209 […]

Remember the glory days of your youth? Neither do we. To jog your memory, we interviewed Anna, another fresh-faced pre-frosh in the first flush of her flowering. Hometown: Missoula, Montana School: Barnard Prospective Major: I honestly have no idea and my answer to this question could probably change every month, but right now the urban […]
