Here’s another library review! A lesser-known, quiet study spot at Barnard. For when Butler is too mainstream (read: crowded) for you. Location: LeFrak Center, Barnard Hall. The library is right in front of you when you walk in, but blocked by a wall. Entrances are to the left or the right along the main hallway’s West […]

“Uglyball.” Two years ago, Ivy Hoops Online writer Sam Tydings (CC ’13) used that term to refer to the style of the men’s basketball team’s offense. The team played at a snail’s pace in the 2014-2015 season, and had plenty of success while doing it. They often worked to the very edge of the shot […]

In his first Fireside Chat since October, PrezBo invited lottery winners to 60 Morningside Drive to enjoy some hors d’oeuvres and hostile conversation. The usual suspects from the administration joined him in his not-so-humble abode: Deans Harford & Cromm, Ixchel Rosal playing the Undergraduate Student Life role in place of Suzanne Goldberg, VP of Campus […]

As you may have heard, Bwog is celebrating its 11th birthday! We’ve come a long way from the first Bwoggiversary, which came with a major party at The West End. We do a little bit more journalism, and a little bit fewer Bwog portmanteaus, but we’re still the same website… or, at least, we have […]

Last night, Bwog senior staff writer Ross Chapman sat in on the semester’s second CCSC meeting. The main discussion was one that the student body has been increasingly pushing for: productive ways to increase and sustain mental health on Columbia’s campus.

It’s not that the Men’s Basketball players never passed to each other (they actually did a lot), but the players on the court didn’t like to come off and let the underclassmen have fun. This weekend, the Lions’ head coach made them share, and it paid dividends. In the […]

Around 1 am on Sunday morning, President Bollinger sent an email to the Columbia community regarding President Trump’s executive order imposing a temporary suspension of entry to the United States from seven majority-Muslim countries. In it, he affirmed Columbia’s position against the executive order, saying, “We join with many peers in decrying this action as […]

Columbia students are surprisingly loyal to their halal carts. Whether there was a cart right next to your freshman dorm, or you thought the halal guy was very attractive, you may have developed a preference. But does the food stand up to the fandom? 2Girls (Timmy Wu and Ross Chapman… don’t ask) bravely subjected themselves […]

Following Monday’s announcement of JJ’s closing due to plumbing and facilities issues, Columbia Dining told us that John Jay Hall would be open during the afternoon and late night. But we just couldn’t believe that John Jay could fill the hole in our stomachs which JJ’s left, so we tested out John Jay Late Night […]

Low Library, an temple to academia so often reserved for white voices, was scheduled to host an panels carried out entirely by Latinx speakers. It shouldn’t surprise anyone, then, that the event was moved to Teachers College at the last minute. According to the event organizers, the panel discussion, “What Really Happened? Latinos and the 2016 […]

Barnard Contingent Faculty, a union for Barnard College faculty in conjunction with United Auto Workers, has announced a strike deadline for four weeks from today. The union posted on their website earlier today with a statement announcing this decision. It said the union voted in December to “authorize the BCF-UAW Bargaining Committee to call for any […]

Sports Editor and enthusiast, Ross Chapman, shared his insights on men’s basketball game last night. Things may not turned out the way he wished they would be.  In sports jargon, the “goat” of the game is the player who loses the game for their team, usually at the last minute. This is usually an unfair […]

As Columbia Men’s Basketball prepares for their next season, loyal supporters are getting ready to spend the next few months rooting for the Lions. Sports editor Ross Chapman previews what fans can expect in the upcoming season. Last basketball season was one for the record books – or, one for the trophy cases. Thanks to an inspired performance by their […]
