We don’t post bathroom stall graffiti often, but when we do, it’s an exception. Witness this angsty carving, spotted—where else?—in Butler:

Katheryn Thayer reports from last night’s SGA proceedings: Dean of Admissions Jennifer Fondiller joined last night’s meeting. She reported an excellent application pool this year, but emphasized that Barnard looks for appropriate matches rather than numbers and growth. This year’s admissions process was Barnard’s most selective yet, in part because the college is not in […]

We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue & White (see About) by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is a cornucopia of delights: the quest for a Columbia quidditch team; drugs, sex and ROTC; and a discussion of the institution of the Columbia presidency. In the Conversation, […]

Poems. Essays. Witty one-liners. Witty one-worders. You spend hours and hours (okay, minutes and minutes) crafting brilliant responses to our posts, and we’re sorry your efforts have gone unnoticed recently. We’ve had some technical glitches with our Favorite Comments system, but through the magic of “CS majors” they’ve been fixed. Finals are coming up soon, […]

When they’re not jamming or answering our inane questions, Columbia faculty enjoy getting dirty in the lab. Bwog takes a moment to look back on this week in science. Headlines were compiled by our Resident Scary-Number-Things Expert Ricky Raudales.

Over the weekend we donned our masks in New Orleans and got folked up in Nashville. Sadly, it’s time to get back to work.
