A tipster spotted this remarkably eloquent note in McBain, addressed, “To the wookie on floor 8.” Jeez. I am posting this note as a gentle warning that your shower etiquette is sub-par. Few people actually enjoy communal living, and I think, given your behavior it’s not hard to imagin [sic] why I’m sure by now […]

Bwog has hopped and camped in libraries, but we’ve never actually explored their contents. The Columbia libraries are a treasure trove of exciting history, so with the help of our lovely librarian friends, we’re going to highlight some hidden jewels. In this installment of BiblioBwog, Karen Green, Ancient & Medieval History and Graphic Novels Librarian (what a combo!), […]

Things to remember! Use Carsplit on your way to the airport– you’ll save money and make new best friends. Write CULPA reviews now that exams are fresh in your mind– you’re helping the next generation! Teamwork! Friendship! Etc.

Keri Blakinger, Cornell ’11 was found with six ounces (roughly $150,000) of heroin on Sunday. She was arrested in Ithaca. Yeesh!

People said some funny stuff while they watched the Lunar Eclipse last night. One man, all within a minute, on Low Plaza: “The moon is bleeding! The moon is disguised as Mars. The moon is hiding from Venus.” More questions and observations from the 150-ish people gathered to watch the sky eat itself: (At 2:05 AM) “We’re […]

When all through the library, Not a student was stirring, not even in 209. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, A man dressed as Santa, giving little treats to CCers and Engineers!

Update, 2:25am: Cowabunga, you can start to see it now! Send in any photos you take of the eclipse, people gazing skywards, eclipse parties… or whatever you crazy kids do during a lunar eclipse to tips@bwog.com! You should definitely go out tonight! In an educational way duh! Take a break from napping studying in Butler […]

SoBe, that lizard-themed cousin of Vitamin Water, is handing out free bottles (none of that sample size bullshit!) on Broadway between 113th and 114th. Bwog picked up a “lean and mean” apple cranberry elixir packing a whopping 5 calories. Update, 6:28 p.m.: A commenter observes there is no more juice blend. SoBe it.

A wise man once said, “Nobody said it was easy/no one ever said it would be so hard.” Here is some funny stuff people have done in the last few days, because, you know, it’s rough out there.

Bwog received this Auto-Tuned gem by Ben Kaplan, CC ’14. “The Finalz Song” deals with the trials of Butler, the Bible, and fighting for survival. A sample lyric: Just better get the flashcards out your calculators and all them granola bars out and do not think I’m going home until the starz out we about […]

According to the New York City Department of Correction, Harrison David has just been released from the Manhattan Detention Center after thirteen days in prison. All five of the students arrested in “Operation Ivy League” have now been released but not yet tried. Bwog is waiting on comment from David’s lawyer. Update, 2:21 p.m.: Samuel […]

If history was written by the victors, then there are plenty of botched psychology experiments that go untold. Psychology is, after all, a soft science, which might explain its tendency to attract English and Comparative Literature dropouts. If anything, someone has to knock some sense into a student body brought up on Plato’s Theory of […]

That was fast! The Student Affairs Committee of the University Senate has just announced that it will form a task force on ROTC starting in the spring semester in light of yesterday’s DADT repeal. Next semester, the task force will hold open hearings on Columbia’s military engagement and conduct a survey on ROTC. The Senate […]

A Broadway view of Primal Scream: And click for a recording of a few brave souls who screamed in Butler 403: primalscream. Lest we forget a year ago right now: Good luck this week, friends! We can do it.

Finals got you down? Then you can verbally vent your frustrations by participating in the Primal Scream. The guide for new students: If your clock or watch is not auto-synced to the NIST’s Cesium Fountain Atomic Clock (i.e. the Internet), make sure you’ve set it correctly. When in doubt, Bwog recommends a cell phone for superior accuracy. […]
