Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. Thursday is a university holiday, so there are very few lectures scheduled this week. Our recommendations for are below and the full list is after […]

Not like we were actually going to stand in that line, but the Cronuts guy got shut down for mice. Ew. (NY Daily News) No, Bush. We don’t want to see your paintings again. (CNN) We’re so pathetic that apparently we need to type emojis on Yelp instead of words. (Gothamist) And because we could […]

Can a secret society even get a break around here these days? We dug through some secretive, but not private, semesterly newsletter updates from the national St. A’s organization, but the findings weren’t terribly exciting. Then again, St. A’s isn’t all that secretive to begin with, and all of these documents are available publicly on their […]

Yesterday’s University Senate plenary was packed with action and acronyms. We sent Low Lover Maud Rozee to observe. PrezBo missed the first half of the plenary because he was at an event congratulating donors on the success of the capital campaign. His absence stymied the “Questions for the President” part of the agenda, which is […]

As anyone who enjoys the new morning donuts knows, the sight of any new things in Ferris is cause for a whirlwind of excitement. A Bwogger recently overheard a girl get a little overexcited by the Ferris fruit: “Are these clementines? Because if these are clementines, then I’m about to lose my goddamn mind.” Consider […]

Only a few Columbians were lucky enough to snag tickets to the Women in the World Summit this weekend, but all of Columbia got called out by former President Jimmy Carter during Friday’s event. The former president discussed many women’s issues, among them the rampant problem of sexual assault, particularly on college campuses. He denounced universities […]

Job growth remains steady, with employers adding thousands of positions in March. Now if only employers would add thousands of generously paid internships. (USA Today) Columbia’s Earth Observatory predicts more depressing news. At least most of us will be dead by 2100. (Salon) A savvy Scottish teen got hit on by James Franco, and she turned him […]

Once a year, Speccies dress up like they’re in an episode of Gossip Girl and head to their Annual Awards Dinner. The dinner this year was held in the New York Athletic Club, which is the kind of place where if you enter wearing sneakers you have to take the servant’s elevator. We’ve heard reports […]

Bwog took a trip to the LLC on the rumor that a simple single had been converted into a castle. And indeed, the rumors were true. As always, if you find a room that you think should be hopped, send it to tips@bwog.com Rienzi Gokea has a creative soul, but he decided to take the […]

After a fierce few days of campaigning, riveting debates, and more Facebook notifications than you’d like, student government elections results are in, courtesy of the Columbia Elections Board. 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. GBB’s statement: The mission of The Governing Board at […]
