Lansing is a former actress and […]

Despite controversy surrounding Russia’s gay propaganda laws, the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics started off with a bang last night. The opening ceremony oscillated between creepy, glitchy, and magnificent. Bwog wants to share our favorite parts of the show with you: The light-up Olympic rings fiasco, which became a t-shirt the instant it happened. How did the designer […]

Some bitter soul tucked this foreboding fortune into the blueprint of the Barnard pool. To them, we ask, “who really needs a pool when the tunnels around Hewitt always smell like one anyway?” RIP pool

One of the speakers was longtime donor Daniel Loeb ’83, the founder and CEO of an “event-driven, value-oriented” hedge fund headquartered in New York.  And apparently he held some intensely fiscally conservative views. All of our staff who were invited had, um, […]

Announcements from Barnard and Columbia Public Safety confirm that yesterday at 2:10 pm, two students were robbed at gunpoint by an unknown male in Morningside Park. In broad daylight, people, midafternoon, almost tea time. Morningside Park may look like a pretty park full of adorable cats, but apparently it’s also a hotbed of crime. No […]
