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. VP Policy Tanya Shah talked about ways to enforce council member attendance at meetings—should they pass […]

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! Because today is the very first day of Housing, these lucky few will probably be skipping the dream-crushing and moving straight onto the best Housing has to offer. We’re going […]

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. The group hopes to work with individual student councils, graduate schools, faculty and staff, and students to demonstrate support for the creation of a not-for-profit, […]

Remember when Kev$ho went to Johns Hopkins? Interim Dean of Student Affairs Terry Martinez is too, according to an email just sent out by Deantini and Dean Boyce. Martinez is to become the Associate Vice Provost and Dean of Student Life. Just last November, Martinez noted how she didn’t want the permanent position, but wanted […]

Bwog recently received a nice nugget of gossip about Dean Linda P. Fried, dean of the Mailman School of Public Health.  Rumor has it that she will be resigning sometime in the near future.  Read the tip, from a “student and administrative assistant affiliated with the institution,” and see for yourself. I have recently been […]

Be sure to check out our new website redesign. We hope u like it!! Bacchanal will be canceled this year because Columbia forgot to reserve the Low steps.  A town hall meeting will be held to discuss the matter on May 16 at 11:59 pm. (Bwog) PrezBo’s notoriously absent wife has officially been revealed to […]

After weeks of speculation and some recent drama, Lupe Fiasco will be performing at Bacchanal, as Spectrum released before the 12 am embargo on the information and as the Bacchanal statement reads below. Get ready to pregame early (but not as early as last year), as Bacchanal is slated to start at 1 pm. Expect Flaxo and […]

Confused about the immense number of people running for the upcoming elections for CCSC, ESC, and University Senate? So were we. So we decided to e-mail all of them. All candidates were asked to respond to the three following questions: What do you/your party bring to the table? What issues are most important to you? […]

And thus we continue with our pre-frosh profiles. Just think—they’ll even be making a special appearance on campus soon! Try to hide your Bacchanal hangover. Hometown: Austin, Texas School: CC Prospective Major: Environmental Science, but open to change Prospective Dorm: Carman Why Columbia? I chose Columbia because I felt that compared to other Ivy Leagues […]

Besides the debates and elections surrounding USenate and the Student Councils, we are still having normal procedure of the current councils.  This week we pushed our dutiful Council Correspondent Joe Milholland to tell us everythang about new UEM policies, leave of absences, internships, and more.  At this Sunday night’s CCSC meeting, class of 2016 President […]

Students don’t need to pick anything up from TIC but should bring CUID and have it […]
