A photograph of PrezBo’s face lands itself on Wikipedia’s homepage as the featured picture of the day. He appears pensive and distinguished—concerned about the Core, financial aid, and diversity all at once—while his coif remains perfectly intact. Ain’t he a beaut?

It’s the last day of classes and as much you’d like to convince yourself that you’re going to start studying for finals, there is drinking to be done. Live it up while you can as some sketchy Department of Health reports indicate that there may no longer be Happy Hour in our big and bright […]

Next up, Don Cheadle Peter Wallerson. Nomination form here. Name, Hometown, School, Major: Peter Wallerson, Brooklyn NY, SEAS Biomedical Engineering Claim to Fame: Hotel Rwanda, Crash, Ocean’s Eleven, Brooklyn’s Finest, most recently House of Lies… But really though, the other day I went to see Seminar on Broadway (got Alan Rickman’s autograph and it was awesome, but […]

SPEARS: The Gospel According to Britney, Pat Blute’s musical which professed to pair The Greatest Story Ever Told with The Greatest Music Ever Written, ran for the last time at 8 pm last night, in Barnard’s Glicker-Milstein Theatre. Conor Skelding went. On the jaded Columbia campus, SPEARS’s premise – using the music of Britney Spears to […]

Puppies are back! Or they will be next Sunday in Fur-nald and John Jay lounges from 1 – 4 pm. They’re actually more like therapy dogs, but puppies has a better ring to it, right? Anyways, the Bwog staff was so excited that we put together a gallery of our own puppies for your— well […]

The 2012 spring season is coming to a close as most teams enter the final countdown to the conclusion of competition. Though course grades won’t be out for a few more weeks, we can take a look at how the Lions have stacked up this spring. The Men’s Tennis team finished up at 2nd place […]

Don’t worry, we’ll all be there for each other. Join the Bwog staff tonight for the final meeting of Spring 2012, 7 pm in the Lerner SGO. Perhaps the hypothetical naysayer inside of you asks if it’s too late to get involved? On the contrary, now is when we need you most! So come by […]

As would-be theater-goers lined up earlier today to pick up tickets for the last performance of the 118th Annual Varsity Show, Bwog found itself sappily pining for a fourth night. Anyone up for a good old-fashioned protest?

In “Significant Other,” Conor Skelding examines the Core at the University of Chicago and how it compares to our own. Look for this and more in the April issue of The Blue & White, on campus this week. The Core Curriculum is the defining feature of Columbia College’s intellectual identity. Undergraduates who chose Columbia specifically for its […]

It’s the end of the semester and the end of BunsenBwog for another year. While last week focused on science’s somber stories, today Bwog’s enthusiastic arborist Zach Kagan brings you amazing accounts of nature in a world altered by man. New York City is an “urban heat island,” a zone of increased temperatures caused by the high heat […]

As part of the ongoing efforts to alleviate the impact of moving the GS Class Day a day earlier, the other three undergraduate student councils have pledged some money ($2,012: what a random amount!) toward funding a reception for GS seniors on May 14th, the originally planned date of the ceremony. Solidarity! According to sources, […]

Just what we needed two weeks before graduation: another existential column about the declining value of a college education! Thanks, Frank Bruni.(NY Times) You think that time you had to lug your MacBook to the Apple Store was bad? Look at what happened to the Iranians. (BBC) This is what avant garde art has become: […]

Update: All the songs from the show are now available online. When writing a show for an audience that consists of Columbia’s entire undergraduate population, basing the plot around the Core seems like choosing the easy route: It’s something that everyone can relate to, it provides cookie-cutter jokes and references, and it’s relatively low risk.

Name, Hometown, School: Jose Alberto Delgado, Brownsville, TX, Columbia College Claim to Fame: Marching Band Banned headlines, I woke up to 10 emails from journalists asking for interviews one day and was called like 30 different times by radio stations, newspapers, and magazines. I also organized a performance for a party attended by LeBron James, Chris Paul, […]
