As the GOP primaries come to a close, one thing’s for certain: the Tea Party is dead. (Daily Beast) The Giants won the Superbowl! But it, ain’t over till we say it’s over. It’s time to judge the best and worst TV ads from last night. (Slate) Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook is worth more than a billion […]

Hi, I’m missing a black LL Bean Backpack, last seen in the lounge of Broadway 12 during the Super Bowl. It’s black, with the initials “BCB,” embossed in grey. It contains an Apple laptop and several important books. If found, contact bcb2131@columbia.edu.

The New York Giants beat out the Patriots in the last few minutes of this year’s Super Bowl to bring the final score to 21-17. This happened in the world, whether you were watching the game or not. In any event, rest assured that no matter what your affiliation is, there are plenty of commercials to […]

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 “The War on Terrorism, Civil Liberties, and the Constitution” Monday, […]

As you’ve probably noticed, a main staircase in Lerner has been broken since last week, making the irritating trek from the ground floor to the package center a nauseating ramp-circling odyssey. We thought that the stairs might only be closed for a day or two, but now that the repairs are stretching into their second […]

It’s finally here – the day all New Yorkers, Bostonians, and 10% of Bwog readers have been waiting for. It’s Super Bowl Sunday! In light of this special occasion in the world of sports, Bwog brings you a special edition of our weekly round-up to prepare the less athletically-inclined members of our readership for the […]

A CC student at a bar finds a practical application for his reading: No more talking to guys, no more talking to ugly girls—let’s be Machiavellian. Sooo.. it sounds like Ted isn’t the only HIMYM character to hang around Morningside.

You know you’re not getting any work done on Super Bowl Sunday, so come see us and eat some pre-game snacks. Whether you want to write, want to share ideas, want to learn more about Bwog, or would just like to bask in the radiant atmosphere of the Student Government Offices we would love to […]

There are many ways to celebrate the Super Bowl, but it’s pretty much a universal law that they all involve chili. With that said, the line has to be drawn somewhere—and it’s here: Does 1020 even have a kitchen? And if so, what’s it being used for the other 364 days of the year?

For some people, today is only about one thing– the Super Bowl. (ESPN) For others, it’s not so much about the game as it is about the halftime show, or maybe the drunk food. (MTV, Gawker) If Madonna and nachos have no allure, you could always head to the library. But be warned–even once you’re […]

For the past two days, SIPA’s penthouse has played host to a conference entitled “Mormonism and American Politics,” and Bwog was there in the form of honorary Salt Lake Citizen Clava Brodsky. Lucky she attended, since this topic seems rather, well, topical! What follows are her notes from the field. Birds probably have the best […]

On one blustery winter evening each year, (read: tonight at 7 pm), the Asian American Alliance (AAA) hosts cultureSHOCK in Lerner to showcase Asian American performance, fashion, and FOOD from groups across the Columbia community. In an attempt to answer the clearly rhetorical questions on the event’s Facebook page, Bwog’s resident expert on both Asia […]

Oprah Winfrey, the Messiah  the entertainment mogul, philanthropist, and champion of women’s empowerment is looking for a Barnard student to rep their gender on Oprah’s new show, Oprah Winfrey: the Next Chapter. This is basically The Oprah Winfrey Show (which concluded last year with absurd amounts of fanfare), except instead of in-studio guests, Oprah travels far and wide. […]

BunsenBwog had been stowed away in the metaphorical chemistry stock room over winter break, but science doesn’t take a holiday. Instead, Columbia’s tireless teams of professors and (let’s be honest) mostly graduate students have been toiling away during the winter months, presumably synthesizing the most chemically pure hot chocolate you’ve ever tasted. In reality though they were up to some cool stuff, and […]

Last week, we informed you of the beginning of DevFest, the “week-long application development experience” that has something to do with computers. Since the combination of get-rich-quick potential and Westside cookies was too much for Bwog to resist, technocrat chronicler Michael Menna was dispatched behind the Silicon Curtain of the Computer Science Department to report […]
