CCSC met. Brian Wagner tells all. The Council held this week’s meeting in Lerner Party Space, so everyone was ready for a good time. In addition, CCSC wants everyone to know that College Days have begun! Though their opening ceremony yesterday may not have been free of controversy (one rep apologized–“I’m sorry you hate V-necks!”), […]

Tipster Vivek Bhagwat reports these fire hydrant things do work. History of virtually every fire alarm ever (except for this one) would suggest that everything is probably fine.

Bwog (also incorrectly called “The Bwog“) is an independent news blog run by students of Columbia University. Since 2006, they’ve been providing students with breaking campus news and a platform for intelligent discourse among their readers. And tonight at 7 pm in the SGO, you can be a part of it all!

It’s a cheery 59 degrees outside! Take your work out on the lawn, bask in the sun, read on the steps… squirm (?) on Low Plaza…

With all the craziness of Columbia, Bwog often forgets it’s a national citizen. Also, because Netflix streaming exists. We’ve already tried to demystify The Planned Parenthood controversy, and the Lame Duck Congress that soared. Now, to aid those who haven’t followed all the congressional buffoonery, we offer this quick summary of the current budget situation. The […]

No Impact Week starts today! This event from Green Umbrella aims to create a consciousness about the impact of everything we do on our environment.

Make your way over to the Sundial, folks, College Days is back! What’s that, you ask? College Days… that time when we pretend we have school spirit they try to trick the prospies into believing we have school spirit (one of their many ruses including a magical weather machine that mysteriously turns the temperature up […]

A student newspaper gives “a solid fuck-you” to the administration at La Salle, after another dubiously motivated erotic experience in the classroom: “‘[One stripper] was just kind of laying on top of [the professor],’ a witness explained.”  (NY Mag, ABC Local) Students at University of Wisconsin are planning a march to stop bullying in schools […]

An anonymous tipster reports that CTV has been running the menu screen of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King since last night. They opined that “the constant horrified Frodo face is getting annoying.” To which we ask, why have you been watching CTV since last night, or ever? Frodo, aka Elijah Wood […]

The Abacchalypse approacheth—only 14 days away! Last night, CU Records hosted a battle of the bands to see which Columbia band would get to open for inimitable Snoop Dogg and Das Racist. We now know that CUSH (Columbia University Society of Hip-Hop) came out on top, but Bwog’s resident Rocker Groupie Lily Icangelo was there […]
