It has recently come to Bwog’s attention that the awkward little area between Hartley and Wallach has a name, and that name is the Taint Gate. WikiCU quotes the administration as saying the name comes from the fact that the area “T’aint part of Hartley and t’aint part of Wallach.” However, if they were trying to […]

Because it’s that magical time of the year when Bwog wants to make sure we know at least one kid in our massive Russian lit lecture (what? Don’t hate on Tolstoy), we sent Features Editor Alexander Pines to CourseWorks-land in order to find out why your roster page likely has nothing but grey faces. Here’s […]

Remember that time your aunt/uncle/extended-family-member-who-doesn’t-really-care-about-you asked you how you were doing at “Bernard”? Trick question. The answer is “That has literally never not happened.” Well, the College itself has been a victim of the same ignorance, on a sign on some scaffolding on Milbank: Barnard replied to the tweet: Nope, still Barnard! The scaffolding company […]

Last semester, you had close to 30 unused meals. The thought of Ferris and their “firecracker chicken” makes your stomach twist in knots. We know the feeling all too well. But some people, apparently, can see the silver lining of the Columbia Dining situation. Hashbrown-lover Elizabeth Self is here to defend one of your waking […]

Angry Birds? More like “Angry-Because-They-Leaked-My-Info Birds,” amiright? Turns out the NSA could be watching you through your unhealthy addiction to Angry Birds. How embarrassing. (New York Daily News) If you missed the Grammys on Sunday… there was a lot of knitting and arguing about who had the cutest grandchild. GET IT? HAH. Anyway, if you […]

The return from winter break marks that hallowed time when students actually go out at night instead of sleeping/doing homework/applying for jobs/[insert probably acceptable excuse here]. Let these notes from the field serve as your hazy memory of last night, (because Momma Bwog knows you don’t remember any of it.) Remember to send your stories to […]

Lets face it, Butler is a terrifying inspiring place full of beautiful books, some of whose titles make their way into magnificent poems. These were found in the alcoves on the third floor. Take a moment, let the words linger on your lips, and consider the impacts of “Alien patriarchy” and how BAD it is.  […]

See an arts show last semester and feel that instant pang of regret that you hadn’t auditioned? Or perhaps you just want to force yourself to be more creative this semester? Either way, Bwog’s Arts Editor Madysen Luebke has got you covered with this handy-dandy list of auditions going on this week! Break a leg! […]

We’re back at school, and CCSC’s back at business. Our Satow Room Bureau Chief Joseph Milholland took notes. The first Columbia College Student Council meeting of the Spring 2014 semester took place under the influence of two articles from student publications: the request from the Editorial Board of the Columbia Daily Spectator that the CCSC’s […]

Some people are setting up film equipment and medical-related props in Lerner, which leads us to think that Black Box is filming on campus again. This time, they didn’t change the name of Lerner to “Neurological Research and Treatment Center,” so it looks like they might be done with filming the outside. South Lawn is […]

President Obama, in tomorrow’s State of the Union Address, is expected to discuss how he will be using executive action to circumvent a gridlocked Congress and further his goals of bridging the income-inequality gap. (AlJazeera America) Apparently SPAM (yeah, like that gelatinous pork stuff hipsters buy) is a rather classy holiday gift in Korea. Bwog […]

Whenever we needed to research housing options, refresh our memories on the words to “Roar Lion Roar” or cry about the untimely death of Alexander Hamilton, WikiCU was there for us. Now it’s your turn.Come edit or add to WikiCU’s pages at the Wikithon, this Wednesday from 6-11 in the John Jay Lounge! And there […]

Considering Bwog continues to freeze their asses off every time they try to walk to Butler, we decided to go around and ask people how cold it is once we got to the library. Our weather app isn’t loading and quite honestly you all are much more informative than that app even though it shows […]

The USenate Twitter account just released a statement from the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) on the Sexual Assault Adjudication Process. In short, the SAC has called for: President Bollinger to release a statement regarding the university’s policy on sexual assault and misconduct, a town hall to act as a forum for students and faculty to […]

On Thursday night, American classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein had a “Special Event” concert at Miller Theatre. Muhly-phile Alexandra Svokos was there, though unfortunately missed the first piece (Bach’s Two-Part Inventions for keyboard, BWV 772-786) for a class. Simone Dinnerstein is full of presence and feelings. From her face and posture as she plays, she appears to […]
