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. Our recommendations for this week are below and the full list is after the jump. Recommended  “Where Oral History and Journalism Meet: Narratives of Social Change” […]

Spring Break approaches, and Bwog wants you to begin it with no regrets. Remember, the memories you make and the free food you eat tonight at 7 pm in Lerner SGO will have to sustain you for the next few weeks! Join us at our weekly meeting to make or take pitches, contribute to the […]

Bwog is no stranger to weird happenings on campus that end up going viral. This one, though, has us stumped. Is this some sort of Baccha90s guerilla marketing campaign? Who is the “ring pop princess” and what does she want from us? Is this her organization’s manifesto? What follows is all of the evidence we’ve managed to […]

The reach of Bwog’s tipsters knows no bounds. By that we mean that one of them occasionally musters the energy to venture below 110th St. for something other than an Absolute Bagel, and supplies us with such linguistic coincidences as this photo. For some future generation of Columbians, perhaps this four letter combination will conjure […]

As Obama drama earns Barnard and Columbia coverage from the “real media” (or at least other blogs), residents of the small town of Barnard Castle (yes, complete with castle) grapple with more pastoral problems, like an unidentified humming sound. (Gothamist, Darlington & Stockton Times) Rush Limbaugh issues an apology to the Georgetown Law student he […]

PrezBo becomes the 603rd person to comment on Obama’s upcoming Barnard gig:

After responding to one hungry reader’s inquiry about local eating competitions in Morningside, one challenge in particular—the Ben & Jerry’s Vermonster—piqued the interest of a couple Bwoggers. These foolhardy individuals journeyed to the B&J on 104th last weekend to give it a go… and almost succeeded. What began as a two-person effort eventually required the […]

You may have missed out on the sold out Linsanity in Levien last night, but you can still make it to a basketball game this weekend. Columbia (14-15, 3-10 Ivy League) will face off against Dartmouth (5-23, 1-11 Ivy League) at 7 pm for senior night. Their last matchup resulted in a narrow win for the Lions […]

It’s Saturday, which means Chemical Charmer Zach Kagan has once again mixed a week’s worth of science news together in an erlenmeyer flask for your edification.  A landmark study from the Earth Institue suggests that ocean acidity is rising faster than any time in the history of the planet. Open water absorbs CO2 emissions, where it becomes carbonic acid. Normally […]

Hawkma, evidently undeterred by the scandal surrounding her namesake this week, has returned to her one of her favorite perches, a JJ10 balcony. This time she brought a friend and some sticks. Could our fierce feathery friend be thinking of relinquishing her role as queen of the night and settling down? Spring is in the […]

Mitt Romney’s campaign strategies may appear to be a product of 2012, but he’s really just copying Cicero. (Slate) Many have called Lindsay Lohan’s Saturday Night Live hosting gig tonight her last chance to save her career, but astute cultural historians point out that it’s not the first time. (NY Mag) Christina Paxson was named president of […]

In hugely unexpected news, Barnard has canceled Jill Abramson’s appearance at this year’s Commencement, in favor of the President of the United States, CC ’83. Barack Hussein Obama is confirmed to be delivering this year’s keynote address at Barnard’s graduating ceremony. Students have been campaigning to bring Obama to Columbia’s commencement for years, from casual […]

Camille’s, the recessed, dim, empty, restaurant next door to HamDel has long been the subject of rumors, ranging from mob front to late-night bingo club. Intending to see if anybody actually eats there—and risking earning a pair of concrete shoes—brave brunch explorers set out for Camille’s. Evidence of racketeering was scant, though there was a […]

UPDATE: Spike Lee is here. Jeremy Lin’s parents are here. JEREMY LIN IS AT COLUMBIA! (See: Grainy pic below) Rumors are flying around campus that Jeremy Lin, point guard for the New York Knicks and overnight NBA sensation, will be at Columbia tonight to watch his Alma mater play. Bwog can’t confirm this rumor, but we can […]
