Keep your eyes open for the September issue of The Blue & White, coming soon to campus. Until then, Bwog will honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting highlights of the upcoming issue online.

It’s that time of year when teams of newly acquainted freshpeople  band together and try to come up with the best original pun. Below are the candidates for CCSC 2015 council—there are dozens of eager politicians. We’ve also heard that six candidates live on a single Carman floor, so things should get interesting. Also listed […]

The season of free food (when student groups actually have time to plan and realize their events) is in full swing. Live at Lerner presents a luncheon concert, pairing heaps of foods with the croonings of Jake Snider. For the price of one swipe into Lerner, you can access these things from 12:15 – 1:15. […]

Fact: Bwog’s life goal is to be on Cash Cab. Alas, it was some else’s lucky day.

No word yet on whether […]

In the wake of Operation Ivy Leauge three fraternities lost their houses. Bwog asked to AEPi, PsiU and the IGC how life has changed and what they plan for the future. Pike declined to comment.

Brief headlines from last nights council meetings. Sean Zimmermann reports from the first Engineering Student Council session: During the summer, recently elected Academic Affairs Representative Huili Zhu notified President Nate Levick that she would not be able to carry out her duties as the Academic Affairs representative in the coming year.

This year, Bwog’s keepin’ the administration and student leaders on their toes. CCSC gets a boatload of your money, and we think it’s important to keep tabs on their progress. But before we get into the nitty gritty, magical muckraker and philosopher queen, Sarah Ngu, introduces the exec board. What is it? Columbia College Student […]

“This is what I thought: for the most banal even to become an adventure, you must (and this is enough) begin to recount it. This is what fools people: a man is always a teller of tales, he sees everything that happens to him through them; and he tries to live his own life as […]

Tayshana Murphy, a high school senior who happened to be one of the nation’s top-ranked basketball players, was shot and killed in the early hours of Sunday morning in Grant Houses on 123rd Street.
