Voting ended at 5 pm today, and the Columbia Elections Board has just announced that Sarah Yee has beaten out the other four candidates for Ben Kornick’s old representative seat in CCSC with 44% of the vote. In a rather well-publicized election, Yee ran against Ankeet Ball, Christopher Wang, Radhika Gupta, and Sameer Mishra. Meanwhile, […]

Screw midterms. Arts editor Madysen Luebke tells you what to do instead/how to learn things that actually matter. All Weekend: Cu Players presents Mother Courage and Her Children this weekend in the Minor Latham Playhouse.  This play takes on the epic tale of “a traveling canteen woman trying to negotiate the demands of wartime capitalism and family.” […]

Things happen at GSSC. We sent the eminent Joseph Milholland to venture forth and discover truth. This week’s General Studies Student Council meeting involved exciting discussions on budgets and by-laws. The council passed to requests for funding for GS senior events. The first was the approval of $245 for a senior pub on March 6. […]

UCB’s going to be in Lerner (for free!) tonight at 8:30. That should be enough to pique your interest, but if it’s not, there’s really only two possible rationales. 1. You don’t know what UCB is, you say? Well, according to Wikipedia, “the Upright Citizens Brigade is an improvisational comedy and sketch comedy group that […]

Housing approacheth. And, unless you’re on top of it, it’s probably coming up sooner than you think. Bwog’s got you covered; we’ll be rolling out two housing reviews per day until no residence hall is left un-reviewed. Prepare to get (even more) excited: this year, we’re reviewing Barnard residence halls, too. Reviews for all! Today’s […]

Fill in the blank: The last time I got locked out was [last term, last month, last week, yesterday, I’m locked out right now]. No fear: Columbia’s latest student attempt to get the administration to care about lowly undergrads petition is on lockout policy. In case you didn’t know, next semester, there’s a good chance […]

So you’ve bitched and moaned about housing for weeks on end, and the day has finally come: today is the very first day of 2014 Columbia housing registration. But, alas, for something so intrinsic to your happiness, you have no idea what you’re meant to be doing. No worries—Momma Bwog’s here for you in your time […]

Lindsay Lohan’s getting a show on OWN. So like new life plan for the rest of us? (Vulture) DC’s hopping on the weed (band)wagon—well, sort of—and voting to legalize possession, but not retail. Get your “rec room” ready. (Washington Post) Free speech yo: Supreme Court voted yesterday to expand whistleblower protection to company contractors (lawyers, […]

ESC met last night and talked about engineering things, as they are wont to do. We sent over a correspondent, as we are wont to do. Our new ESC Bureau Chief Aparajita Maitra reports. 9:30 PM, in the Satow room of Lerner. ESC meeting begins on time. Members of the executive board take turns passing […]

We see you sitting there in Butler, looking at Bwog in 210 (or worse, you’re in class. Shame on you). You’ve always wanted to write for a magazine, ever since you saw The Devil Wears Prada in 2006. This is your chance. You’ve only got one shot. One opportunity. It’s time to seize everything you ever […]

With the major declaration deadline for sophomores coming up on March 13, Bwog decided to help you out. Not with what you should major in. That’s a tricky question. But we can tell you what you should definitely not major in unless you want to be very unhappy. 1. What frightens you? a. The word “performativity.” b. […]

Columbia alumni never cease to amaze us.  Turns out that Frozen, the winner of Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, was written and co-directed by a Columbia Film alumna, Jennifer Lee, ’05. But that’s not all: 12 Years a Slave, the winner of Best Picture and several other awards, was co-produced by alumna Dede […]

Looks like the Carman scaffolding is more than just an eyesore.  A tip just informed us that the city of New York has issued a partial stop work order against Columbia for the Carman scaffold.  You can see the order, which “shall remain in effect until the Department has issued an order rescinding it,” below […]

I lost a pink Nike Women’s running shoe this morning. Size 7.5. Probably lost in Barnard tunnels, Dodge Hall (music library), or on Columbia’s campus. If found, please email amw2187@barnard.edu.
