Someone call CCE, because boy have we got a job for you.  Posted on an EC bulletin board, some Barnard senior is  putting together a coalition of “fucking brilliant and chill” classmates in order to make boatloads of money and “capitalize on each other’s work ethic.” Bwog is unsure as to the business model being […]

Student-Worker Solidarity is on another campaign—last year it was Faculty House, and now it’s working conditions in John Jay dining hall.

Dunn “claimed that these changes would […]

Happy October! The government is shutting down because they can’t make decisions on the budget and Obamacare. Who’d have known? (NYT) Lorde finally released her new album, Pure Heroine. Do you like it? Did you see her play live last night? Are you going to her show tonight? Can Bwog buy your ticket? (USA Today) If you […]

Bwog is a big music fan, especially of our own student music but lets face it: our weekends are sometimes too full of getting shwasty doing homework to come out and support every show.  Thankfully, Bwog’s Britt Fossum took some time out of her weekend to enjoy a performance by a couple of Columbia bands. Morningsiders […]

Do you like acting? What about writing? And directing? Procrastinating on YouTube? Flowcharts? Bwog’s unbeatable video team– very creatively named Bwog Video– is having a meeting tonight at 9:15 pm in the Lerner Piano Lounge. Come by to pitch an idea, sign up for a project, or just see what all the fuss is about. […]

We started hearing about this Lion Credit Union Initiative (LCUI) and sent Credit Caper Sanat Kapur to investigate. To start with, what is a credit union? It’s a bank, except it’s not run by a bunch of profit hungry executives who don’t care about usually broke college students; it’s run by usually broke college students […]

Walking home one night, wanting only to lay its weary bones down on its own blue mattress, Bwog espied the spectacle below: Your mattress goes to its eternal rest. 2017! Here’s an easy back-of-the-envelope for you: approximate how many mattresses are in that dumpster. (Hint: they go all the way to the bottom.) And here […]

Craig Newmark, founder of craigslist, gave a lecture at the Julius S. Held Lecture Hall at Barnard on Thursday, where he spoke about his “nerdiness,” his decision to forgo becoming an internet billionaire in favor of “doing well by doing good,” his ambitions for craigconnects, his efforts with the Women in Public Service initiative, and […]

Barnard-Columbia V-Day, the group that organizes an annual production of The Vagina Monologues on campus, has decided that the cast for this year’s production will be made up of the stories of self-identified women of color.

We weren’t even sure how to react to this tip ourselves… From a bewildered tipster: “85% sure my Music Hum instructor wasn’t joking when he said, ‘They only composed masses for really special holidays. Like Easter and Passover.'” No one reacted.   Your favorite curse-word courtesy of Shutterstock

Well if your first few weeks of the year haven’t been completely batshit crazy enough don’t worry: Danny Brown’s new album “Old” is available for stream on Spotify starting today.  It actually leaked last night but no one seemed to really care; we wonder what major media event super ceded Danny Brown.  (Consequence Of Sound) […]

Aaaaand after a student council weekend retreat and some meetings, CCSC has decided to hold a direct election to fill the USenate seat.  Democracy prevails!  Registration to run is here and the election should conclude by mid-October. Full press release from the CCSC Exec Board: The Executive Board of Columbia College Student Council will implement […]

We’re trying to stop denying it: fall is upon us.  To that end, we asked our Sunday Butlerites: what’s the best part of the season? Smokers Plaza It’s not hot enough that it’s disgusting and I want to kill myself, but I’m from LA so I don’t want to freeze my ass off, but I […]

As Bwog reported nearly a week ago, 1020 has raised its prices by a staggering 100 percents. Yes, that means no more $2 Yuenglings and Rolling Rocks.  Between this and the new bathroom changes, it’s almost like 1020 is becoming a legitimate bar for grown-up human beings, and not just for thousands of college seniors […]
