Last week, we posted some salacious screenshots of the Columbia Class of 2016 Facebook page. This morning we received the following in an email tip from a prefroshbear reader (props!): So I saw the post about the Columbia Class of 2016 facebook page. It was pretty funny, but those posts have nothing on the stuff […]

The CU Students for Sensible Drug Policy invite you to a round-table discussion on the ‘Opium Trade in Afghanistan: Human Rights, Security and Public Health.’ Colonel Louis H. Jordan Jr., NYU’s Jake Sherman and journalist John Duncan will discuss how Afghanistan’s lucrative drug trade jeopardizes social and political stability. Free samples are probably out of […]

Bwog was born out of remedial html coding and ramblings about Russian art. Life was never very easy in the beginning. Spec was curious, Gawker didn’t want to play nice, and Bwog tried to be the big kid on the playground. Since then, Bwog kind of grew up, but never at heart. There has been a […]

Knowing that real lions graduate without doing the swim test, Bwog too was titillated by the prospect of casting Cubmail into the Hudson and watching it drown. But first, we had some questions about the planned switch to Gmail. Columbia Student Affairs’ Director of Communications and Special Projects Katherine Cutler answers. Does Dean Shollenberger have […]

Just over an hour ago, Helen Gurley Brown announced a donation of $30 million dollars to be shared between Columbia’s School of Journalism and Stanford’s School of Innovation to create a bi-coastal Institute for Media Innovation based out of Columbia’s J-school campus. Helen Gurley Brown reigned as head editor of Cosmopolitan magazine from 1965 to […]

Self-hating SEAS student? Or angry CC student who just doesn’t get the first week of Frontiers?

Last seen in the Hartley computer lab at around 9 am, on 1/30/12. No case; no password; background is a generic picture of a rower on a lake. About 2 years old and showing its wear. Contact: etp2109.

Last night, CCSC knocked on doors to see what was up with freshmen and sophomore students.  Incumbent Shadow Master Sarah Ngu was with them every step of the way. It seems that CCSC’s e-board is following through on its promise to break away from its identity as an insular cohort of students. Last night, about […]

Educational Reform: Changing with the times is not exactly Ivy League style, but the former president of Harvard says it should be. (NYT) ‘Celluloid Barriers’: Barnard’s Athena Film Festival is burning them. (Guardian) Football: In a land far far away, football is taking over university culture. (NYT) Transferring: Based on stellar retention rates, we have “happiest” […]

Just as an idyllic landscape metamorphoses with the passing of the seasons, some of our most familiar haunts take on new character and exoticism in deepest night. For this reason among others, Bwog, specifically intrepid philosopher of the darkness Diana Clarke, never sleeps. Tonight, ponder Westside Market in all its fluorescence. Its lights are the […]

There may be no I in team, but there’s an I in win. Columbia athletes had outstanding individual performances this weekend, helping their respective teams to big wins in meets, matches, and championships. Men’s and Women’s Swimming & Diving, Wrestling, and Men’s Tennis all picked up W’s this weekend, and the Women’s Track & Field […]

For your Sunday night viewing pleasure, enjoy this politically correctly titled video starring our very own Ferris made by some of our own esteemed colleagues! It’s good.

Nothing (and we mean nothing) would make us happier than to have YOU in attendance at the second Bwog meeting of the year. So come! 7 pm in the Lerner SGO. Whether you want to write something, want us to write something, want to learn more about Bwog, or just want to spend some quality […]

SIP was The Rocky Horror Picture Show of Columbia watering holes: It wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but those who sipped were crazy about it. That’s why last night, when a few Bwoggers were looking to have a drink somewhere that wasn’t 1020 or The Heights, they were shocked to find that the café was […]
