At this year’s Artivist Film Festival, one film rises above the current. Together: Dancing with Spinner Dolphins, a three-minute film documenting Barnard alumna, Chisa Hidaka, BC ’86, and her experience dancing with wild dolphins, awarded for Best Short in the Animal Advocacy category. Hidaka took a moment to talk with Bwog about her film, which is being […]

As Winter Wonderland part deux is in session, Columbia Dining hastily makes preparations for the frigid winter. Amidst transporting hot leftovers to starving brunch-goers, someone couldn’t keep up and spilled the beans. As the powdery chaos continues, Bwog can’t help but feel like this snow day is missing something.

For those of you who have yet to open a window, it’s pretty darn snowy out. Bwog is excitedly lacing up our snowboots to go sledding in Riverside, but before we do, we have a winner to announce for our snow-pic snapping contest. The competition was fierce, but congratulations to tipster Lila Neiswanger, who sent […]

Think your workload is rough? Imagine having to squeeze it in between a demanding regime of “social planning” and, like, a million Bat Mitzvahs. The following exchange, overheard by a tipster waiting for the subway, falls somewhere in between precious and precocious. “Sixth grade, you’re still trying to figure out who you are. Seventh grade […]

Break free of the dining halls this week and hit up some of New York’s top restaurants for Winter 2012’s restaurant week. Lunch for $24.07 and dinner for $35.00 lasts until February 10th, so take the plunge at the swankiest places the city has to offer in your swankiest business-casual attire.

What looks like half of a Famiglia’s pizza has been displayed for distribution on Broadway. Sanitation might be of some concern, but, hell, you’re probably a little bit drunk and it’s free. Limited time only; while supplies last.

Tonight is the night is the night: the first snowfall of the year, minus Halloween’s premature snowmaggedon. Tonight’s weather report predicts sweet, soft, snowfall starting at midnight. So at least tomorrow’s hangover can be sledded away on fresh powder. It’ll relax everybody! For the first intrepid snow-goer to snap a shot, Bwog promises icy, free beer, of […]

Unearthed from under centuries of dirt and cigarette butts, this Mini Stonehenge has been found in our very own Riverside Park. Archaeologists say it is an ancient mystic healing place erected by Columbia students to mend wounds (read: paper cuts) received in the great 1754 Battle of the Butler. Administration is now considering developing it […]

While Columbians might not be the most diehard of sports fans, it’s been pretty hard to ignore this year’s playoff hype. After all, we love a good debate. And at the very least, having New York’s very own Giants in the Super Bowl would offer us a rare opportunity for day-drinking. That’s why a tip […]

Last seen at Il Cibreo (Campo) Jan. 19/20 at 12:30 am. Please contact kso2110@columbia.edu if you accidentally took the wrong jacket! Jacket is very similar to this make: http://tinyurl.com/lostjacket, except it has inner cuffs, which are wool, and an inner collar which is leather. The jacket has water proof material on the outside. If you mistakenly took a Zara […]

Columbians, prepare to lash out in insecurity! CC 2012’s first batch of inductees to Phi Beta Kappa has been announced, and will be inducted into the nation’s oldest academic honor society this month. A larger group of scholarly standouts will get the nod later in the semester. If this is all Greek to you, just […]

Why did the number of applicants to Columbia dwindle to a mere 32,000? Perhaps the kids realized  it’s “impossible” to get in so they’ve all stopped applying, or more likely, it’s because Harvard and Princeton brought back early action. (Business Week) Mayor Bloomberg already takes Spanish lessons, but this year he wants to try a new language: […]

The return of classes does have a silver lining: the return of weekends!  Every Thursday your lovely pals at the Columbia Bartending Agency provide you with new ways to forget everything you learned during the week.  This week, Matt Kalish transports you to a better place. As the new semester rolls in along with the cold […]
