Just when we thought this place couldn’t get any more boring, all sorts of new minutiae decided to crop up! Spring is here-ish, new chairs abound, and Boringside Heights is serving up ice cream like it’s goin’ out of style. Midterms be damned—it’s a good time to be at Columbia. It’s been reported that Hewitt […]

As Bwog knows all too well, there’s nothing a Columbia student hates more than bad grammar. This Bwogger figures a kitten must die with every its vs. it’s error (I mean, why else would these lil’ mistakes always get everyone’s panties in a twist?). In response to the Philolexian Society’s recent grammatical gaffe, one Columbian […]

Since its creation, Bwog has been notoriously light on sports coverage, mostly because the majority of us know nothing about them. Still, every now and then, even we can’t help but get caught up in all the sporting excitement. After Friday evening’s double-overtime men’s basketball game against Yale, Bwog daily editor Sameea Butt was inspired […]

Head over to Lerner Satow Room at 1 pm to participate in a traditional Sikh langar and enjoy a delicious, free Indian meal, all hosted by the Sikh Students Association! As displayed to your right, gulab jamun shall be served! And where there’s gulab jamun (wonderfully fried balls of dough floating in rosewater-flavored sugar syrup), […]

Good morning, friends! We hope your 7 midterms, 5 papers, and 8 problem sets are going well. We’re sure you got lots of work done last night in Butler (or at least did lots of “brainstorming” at 1020). Even if you didn’t work last night (and it’s totally okay if you didn’t—Bwog is a judge-free zone), […]

The Yale Police Department is currently investigating a possible sexual assault involving Yale undergraduates at a “naked party” thrown by the Pundits, Yale’s senior prank society. Perhaps this is why Columbia never has naked parties…(underwear parties don’t count!) (NYDN, YDN) We hope your first meal today looks as fun as these breakfasts do. Personally, Bwog prefers […]

Cristina Stevenson of Student Affairs, confirmed in an e-mail to Bwog this afternoon that the IRC will be allowed to continue as it currently functions. The IRC was reviewed independently and considered in the same manner as the fraternities. Since inhabitants apply annually through the university, a distinction was made between an individual’s infraction and […]

The New York housing market really is insane! This flyer, spotted in McBain, offers nearly a thousand dollars each to upperclassmen willing to throw in their lot with rich but ridiculous rising sophomores. Of course, plenty of upperclassmen use freshpeople fears about the housing lottery to score some sweet suite singles, but it seems few […]

The University Senate met from 1:15 pm to 2:20 pm this afternoon, in 107 Jerome Greene to discuss finances, smoking bans, and the ROTC Task Force’s full report, released today.

Are you feeling guilty about taking free food from clubs you have no interest in joining, but still hungry and broke? Head to 229 Thompson Hall in Teachers College this afternoon from 3–4 pm and volunteer to help out at the closing ceremony of Battle of the Books, a program that encourages West Harlem elementary […]

Bwog’s been in touch with Student Affairs about last night’s news. Here’s what they had to say: Bwog: What’s going to happen to the brownstones? Student Affairs: The rooms in the brownstones will become part of general assignment for the 2011-2012 academic year, after the undergraduate housing lottery takes place. (In other words, the rooms […]

On Wednesday night, a retired Bwogger relived his glory days of lecturehopping when he headed downtown and attempted to decipher the postmodern conundrum of a panel featuring Columbia professors Gayatri Spivak and Rosalind Morris, and soon-to-be-Columbia-professor Judith Butler. So, humanities majors, you know that first time you go back home freshman year, probably for Thanksgiving? […]

The Native Society is a social club for native New Yorkers. Well, not most New Yorkers, just swanky prep-school grads or U.H.B’s (“urban-haute bourgeoisie”). Also you don’t have to actually be a native New Yorker as long as you “display the Native mind-set” and find college social life embarrassing. Money quote: “When you grow up in […]
