Here’s a transcript of the coverage: 5:31 pm Hey guys, this is Zac and Kyra coming to you live from the Satow Room 5:34 The room is full of nervous, excited freshmen […]

Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. As always, feel free to mention any events we may have missed in the comments section (and/or mock our typos) and we’ll add them. Our recommendations […]

Come one, come all! Bwog will have a meeting in the SGO on the fifth floor of Lerner at 7 pm tonight where there will be free food and moderately awesome people. Bring ideas, friends, or absolutely nothing at all and just freeload! Good thing all foods are naturally in the shape of sectors via […]

The foundations of our democracy have been shaken. We have learned through an exhaustive investigation (a.k.a. accidentally being cc’d on an internal email) that the CCSC elections board is currently investigating one of the parties running for freshman student council for election law violations. What are the specific violations? Well, that’s tough for the Elections […]

Adding to the recent medical breakthrough brought about by arguably the greatest mind of our generation that “your love” is a drug, research finds that certain foods mimic drugs in their effect on the pleasure centers in the human brain. (Wikimedia, New York Times) Even when you’re full, there’s always room for some cake. (Buzzfeed, […]

It’s a new semester and the inexorable march of progress continues on campus. Except that you probably still don’t have air conditioning and someone gets stuck in an elevator on a bi-weekly basis, and stuff. But there’s new paint! Send any riveting developments we missed to tips@bwog.com.    

Bwog’s personal plasmid profiler, Zach Kagan, recounts us with the exciting tales of mosquitos, viruses, telescopes and Golden Geese in this week’s Bunsen Bwog.  We already know what science would do with a 65-million year mosquito sample: make a dinosaur theme park and hire Jeff Golblum to get chased around by velociraptors. But what does science […]

Last night, Berkeley Professor John Lie spoke about K-pop as part of the Center for Korean Research’s Colloquium Series on Korean Cultural Studies. B&W Culture Editor and Bwog K-pop beat chief Conor Skelding shuffled in a few minutes late. Note: check this September’s issue of The Blue & White for K-pop right here at Columbia. “South Korea has become a […]

Calling John Cage a “polarizing figure” probably accounts to an understatement. If you don’t know what I mean, sit through a performance of 4’33” and wait for someone to burst out laughing or leave the room altogether. Yet, in all the strangeness of a group of performers sitting in complete silence for  four and a half […]

You have made it through three weeks of class. You are back into the swing of things and remembered how to be a good student- do work and down shots, preferably at the same time. Being a good student doesn’t mean going hungry.  Bwog is here for you with this guide to study snacking: Reading […]

Bwog is bringing back a series of interviews with standout athletes on campus. Last semester, we caught up with track star Kyle Merber and tennis sensation Nikki Bartnik.

A Dutch girl’s decision to send birthday party invites via Facebook quickly turns awry as she neglected to change the privacy settings to, well, private. Hilarity and lawlessness ensues as over 30,000 partygoers show up. (CBS News) Apple decides to oust Google’s presence on their baby by creating the Apple Maps app to replace Google […]

Winston Churchill once said, “I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.” Bwog 3.0 is live, and it’s not completely inaccurate to say that we’ll be the same irreverent, vaguely socially relevant Bwog that you know and love. Of course, we’ve matured (pronounce that […]

Dear Bwog Readers, It’s with the heaviest of hearts (and a couple of other surprisingly apt cliches) that I’ve decided to retire from the Editor position a bit earlier than planned. This decision is the result of unexpected circumstances that, for the time being, require more of my attention and effort than I’d ever want […]
