Finals start in two weeks. Are you ready? Probably not. That’s okay, Bwog isn’t either. Do you like to drink? Of course you do. Here’s a fun way how to drink. Make a game out of it, because drinking is only fun if you are drunk. The Name of the Game Assuming your final is […]

Once again, Bwog’s resident porn expert Busty Macmillions returns to the one and only soft-core porn set at Columbia in the sixties. Campus Sex Club is also written by a Columbia grad, Loren Beauchamp, aka Robert Silverberg, who is today a highly successful science fiction writer. Trigger warning for attempted rape as well as the […]

According to a recent email blast, it was announced that Columbia won’t hire anybody to be new Dean of Undergraduate Student Affairs for Columbia College and SEAS. Instead, Deans Valentini and Boyce opted to restructure the department to provide “the best experience” for undergraduates. After the changes, Community Development and its associated offices will become […]

Takes absolutely forever. By forever, we mean about a month, which still seems like an excessively long time. Facilities seems to only work in the early hours of the morning, and it seems to us that the whole thing could get done in about four or five days of consistent labor, perhaps even sometime after finals. […]

The beloved, nay cherished, Daily Spectator, you may have heard, is most likely transitioning to a largely digital medium, which the Times thinks may have a little something to do with an “insurgent, irreverent website.” (New York Times) Israeli-Palestinian peace talks continue to break down as Israel abandoned the negotiations yesterday after Palestinian leaders announced the […]

In memoriam of the Daily Spectator and as an excuse for another #tbt, Bwog Columbianaphile Britt Fossum entered again into the treasure trove that is the Columbia Archives to seek knowledge and funny pictures of Spectator Staff from years past. Look, people should calm down about Spec cutting print down from daily to weekly. First […]

PrezBo held one of his famous fireside chats; this time, for graduate students. He served us pretty good burritos and nachos, as well as the smallest cupcakes Bwog has ever seen. Wonder what he said? Presidential party crasher Artur Renault has got you covered. People were very confused at my name tag, which said “Bwog,” where […]

The following University statement was sent out, noting that Columbia cannot comment on the allegations of the Title IX complaint because they have not yet seen it. It also states that Columbia is working to improve the current system, which will continue even in the face of the Title IX, Title II, and Clery complaints […]

The Activities Board at Columbia is responsible for the proper allocation of campus clubs’ funds, and its deliberations have become an interesting cause for concern. Fairness aficionado Maud Rozee visited the group to check it out. A few days ago, Bwog got a tip which claimed that the Activities Board at Columbia (ABC), which allocated the budgets […]

As the school year starts to wind-down (but more like wind-up, amirite???), we all need to take a little time to think about our health. Lucky for all of us, Monday’s SGA meeting was dedicated to discussing what Barnard does (and doesn’t do) to promote health on campus. Barnard Bearoness Lauren Beltrone reports. The meeting […]

Bwog reader Chelsea Carrick submitted the following essay to us in what we find to be an incredibly timely response to recent events.  New York, NY—Administrators responded to students’ requests for increased transparency and improved policies surrounding sexual violence at Columbia University by baking a cake. The cake, red velvet, was tastefully decorated with fondant […]

It’s been a busy few months for the topic of sexual assault at Columbia. There have been protests and controversial responses, New York Post articles and Blue and White articles, one town hall and another town hall, and the significant use of our tag “sexual assault.” The latest development: a group of 23 students under the name […]

Fleet Foxes is still on hiatus, guys. Just give the kids some time to tend to their Columbia education. (Pitchfork) We don’t know about you, but we’re Ready for (Grandma) Hillary. (The Washington Post) The Folk Art Museum’s destruction is the MoMA’s pet preservation project. (The New York Times) The Supreme Court recently upheld Michigan’s […]

fbv807: “Abby, Michael, and Steven announcing the exciting next phase of @columbiaspec at an all-staff meeting: it will be the first Ivy paper to drop its print edition in favor of a web-first journalism reality. Paper will print weekly starting fall 2014.” Spec is currently holding a huge meeting in its office. According to a […]

If the Core has taught us anything, it’s the universal applicability of the texts we so dedicatedly devote our lives to. Every fleeting, ephemeral moment of everyday life is in fact a manifestation of the ideas, ideals, and ideologies the Core inspires us to study. Accordingly, what better reflection of these minuscule microcosms of Beauty […]
