Columbia may not always excel on the playing field, but when it comes to sports of the intellectual variety, we fare rather well. Last week, our Parliamentary Debate Team faced off against Harvard in a public debate hosted by Halogen TV and recapped in the New York Times. Bwog caught up with Columbia’s winning epistemological […]

Interested in celebrating the fall harvest in style, but can’t find a good free-standing structure with a palm-leaf roof nearby? Chabad Lubavitch has conveniently set up a super-mobile sukkah on Broadway between 113th and 114th streets for your religious observance needs. For those unfamiliar with Jewish High Holidays, Sukkot is a weeklong festival commemorating the bounties of […]

Your Butler: the fluted columns, the intellectual legacy, the perfect study spot. Unfortunately that serial sniffler surrounded by a fortress of textbooks thinks so too. The Panopticonesque 209 is for people who want to be seen studying, not actually get any work done. But Butler’s just so purdy, you say. Excuses, excuses. Aesthetics certainly don’t make […]

Homecoming, fondly referred to as Christmas in some circles, is an intoxicating occasion in which students, parents, and alumni alike play out their state school fantasies by engaging in heavy drinking and casual spectating. This year was no exception. Columbia fans didn’t let the construction at Baker Athletic Complex tarnish their school (read: drinking) spirit. […]

Occupy Wall Street has now grown to include protests in over 900 cities. Looks like New York, as always, is a trend-setting powerhouse.

You may have seen it in the news yesterday morning, but we just wanted to make sure you were aware that Columbia’s endowment is flush with hard-earned and successfully-invested dollars. $7.8 billion of them in fact, (you might be interested to know that the cost of Manhattanville was pegged at $7 billion). Think about all […]

This week, the mysterious Columbia coners struck again in a manner that you will not forget, coning the innocent thinker statue.

With Hallow’s Eve quickly approaching, campus is starting to spiral further and further into the likes of a Tim Burton movie.

A tipster sent in this somewhat Monet-esque picture of the Man himself carb-ing up in the snack tent before the big game. UPDATE: Thanks to Kylie Rogers, also spotted was Ke$ho snacking on some popcorn while posing for pictures with students. UPDATE: Mailing Wu snapped a picture of PrezBo posing with some students in a […]

After many grueling hours of speculation in the lab, Bwog has decided that this QR code we spotted will take you one of three places: 1) A treasure map leading to a hidden plate of really moist muffins 2) A porn site 3) The AEPi homecoming party this Saturday Are you daring enough to find […]

Unbury that school spirit and come out to support Columbia football take on Penn at Homecoming. The pre-game picnic starts at 12:30pm and the game kicks off at 3:30. But the festivities last all day: there’s a carnival from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., where kids can get their faces painted while adults remember the good ‘ol […]

Dartmouth’s football team gave up their ranking as 7th in the Ivy League, allowing Columbia to move up a spot.
