It’s been/will be an eventful week for campus. Last night, Bwogger Tatini Mal-Sarkar saw the prime minister of Tunisia, Mehdi Jomaa, speak and promptly bragged about it to anyone and everyone within a 250-foot radius. On the first truly bright day of the year, College Walk was populated by half the student body, as well […]

After yesterday’s day full of very lucky seniors with very low lottery numbers, today is about to get a little more… interesting. We’re going to be camped out here all day to give you up-to-date Housing coverage, answers to your questions, and awesome stickers. We’re also probably going to eat a lot of free candy, […]

Flashback to the eighth grade: you blasted Kiss My Sass and thought you were literally the height of cool. You fantasized about meeting Gabe Saporta, who would abandon Vicky T in a heartbeat for you. Bwog sent Julia Goodman to live out your middle school fantasies. Do you remember Cobra Starship? Don’t lie. I know […]

This morning, SGA released a position on last month’s drama involving SJP and the Barnard administration. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the long and short of it is that SJP asked permission for and hung a banner promoting End Israeli Apartheid Week, which the administration then promptly removed. The administration said that […]

Scale of one to ten, how much did you hate the HIMYM finale? (Vulture) Palestine’s finna get shit done. (NY Times) They are literally selling air. You can drop out now; you have nothing left to learn from this world. (Salon) Wait, this is actually hilarious: reverends have brackets, too, except for saints instead of […]

Are you ready for another pre-frosh profile? Bwog certainly is. Today, we interviewed Eleanor, one of the two people behind the unofficial Class of 2018 Facebook group. Hometown: New Orleans, Louisiana School: Barnard Prospective Major: Somewhere in the political science/econ realm, so probably political economics. Prospective Dorm: I have heard Sulz is the only Barnard […]

ESC is at it again, this time with a little less vigor, as campaign season is rolling through and no one really wants to do anything this week.  Bwog sent the one and only, wickedly talented Aparajita Maitra to report.

So some people went to bars and stuff this weekend, but more importantly THIS FIELD NOTE HAS A PICTURE OF A REAL LIVE KITTEN. That’s all. (Oh yeah and be sure to send in any and all party testimonials, weird overseens, and sad date nights to tips@bwog.com, or use our anonymous tip form.) Pre-Kitten Listserv “Last […]

We’re not usually in the business of endorsements, but, then again, this year the CC University Senator position has already taken us on on a roller coaster of emotions. To scientifically choose who we would endorse for the seat, we photoshopped the candidates’ faces onto Roaree in the wild. Sadly, some just couldn’t measure up to what our […]

Grades@CU—a website allowing students to see grade distributions for a variety of Columbia classes—has recently debuted a search function and a new design (we hope it involves comic sans). The website, founded by Daniel Liss, CC ’16, allows students to input into an online database the A-range percentages available on their transcripts, which can easily […]

Good morning, Columbia! Looks like a lovely day to have your hopes and dreams crushed, doesn’t it? Welcome to the first day of Housing 2014!

CCSC has recently granted the the Lion Credit Union Initiative (LCUI), a group working to build a credit union for the Columbia community, placement of an initiative on the next ballot.
