Some cool shit happened this weekend.  Squash squawker Max Rettig serves it up. The 11th-ranked Columbia women’s squash team defeated 14-ranked GW in the season-opener, taking 7 of 9 matches. The victory kept the Lions’ winning streak against GW alive, and it now stands at 3 games. While GW won the first two matches, Columbia […]

In what might be the next best thing to having famous basketball folk on campus at random times during the year, the LA Lakers gave the Columbia Dance Marathon a nice little shout-out video. The marathon ran from the 23-24th this weekend.

Well actually, we can’t, but Columbia Ballet Collaborative can. Their new video, featuring Kaitlyn Gilliland and James Lasky, is amazing and should be watched. Choreographer Gus Reed has outdone himself. Unfortunately, CBC’s performances for this semester have passed, but they will be having another show in February. In the meantime, they offer free ballet classes every […]

There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else, there’s CCSC to allocate funds ‘n stuff (and Joseph Milholland to tell us all about it). The November 24 2013 CCSC meeting began with the announcement that two Columbia students were out picking up the meeting’s much-hyped Dino BBQ themselves instead of having it delivered […]

A man dies after falling down the stairs at the courthouse on the day of his trial. Can the court get sued now? (NY Times). Thought the world was done with Charles Manson. (Rolling Stone) Columbia is getting sued for being too dark and injuring a detective while he was chasing someone on the job. […]

Yes, we know you were all waiting for this question in our Bwog Asked series. Tonight, Bwoggers ventured to Butler to see what all of you are doing for the impending Thanksgiving break.

Tonight, Barnard’s SGA sent out an email prepping students on the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend and included this little nugget of wisdom: Happy Turkey Week. Thanksgiving is complicated. We urge you not to forget that this holiday commemorates genocide and American imperialism. But, enjoy the week off and make it into something meaningful. Discuss, please. It’s […]

Our Marvelous Maud Rozee, theatre critic and German translator extraordinaire, reviews this weekend’s production of Katzelmacher. Read on to get cultured. Katzelmacher is a German slur for an immigrant worker.  The play centers on a group of working class friends in 1960’s Berlin as the arrival of a Greek worker in their housing complex highlights the […]

Last week, Bwog sat down with Mitch Swenson, a General Studies student who recently traveled to Syria as a war reporter. So, sneaking into Syria to report on the war: how do you do that? How does one get started? Originally, I contacted two journalists that were working for an outfit called War Is Boring, […]

Some of your classmates are insanely talented at channeling their inner Michael Jacksons. The multidimensionally modern Madysen Luebke checked out this fall’s Orchesis production. Man in the Mirrorchesis was not this Bwogger’s first time seeing this dance group’s show.  Their performances have always been entertaining for dancers and non-dancers alike.  However, this semester did not stick […]
