Bwoglines takes the form of an acrostic, dedicated to the avian marshmallows that will stick to the intestinal walls of many today:  Program for the 2013 Egg Roll. Lots of Eggtivities that will be broadcast live. (Whitehouse.gov) Everything and anything to do in New York this spring. (Gothamist) Epic “fail” and other verbs as nouns. (Nytimes) […]

A few days ago, we asked you to help us come up with a nickname for SEAS Dean Mary Cunningham Boyce. You answered our call, mostly with variations on beloved ’80s rappers. But now it’s time to determine which name will forever be attached to Dean Boyce and which lucky Bwog reader will get a […]

Tipsters report that the WTF Columbia site (not to be confused with our WTF Columbia series) is not working. The site,

Bwog has obtained a memo sent from M. Dianne Murphy, the director of Athletics, to the head coaches of Columbia’s sports teams.

On Wednesday evening, Columbia’s SSDP (Students for a Sensible Drug Policy) hosted a panel that gave the real story behind everyone’s mysterious friend: Molly. Somewhat sensible student Alexandra Avvocato was there, accompanied by Angel Jiang, who was there to explain the pop culture references.

The official announcement won’t come until Monday, but Bwog has learned that Barnard admitted 20.5% of applicants to the Class of 2017. They received 5,606 applications from eager high schoolers, and admitted 1,151 of them. Needless to say, this makes Barnard the most selective women’s college in the country. It’s also a record low admissions […]

Our famous Bwog super-sleuthers came across this remarkably disgusting remnant of a Spring Break that refused to be forgotten. Bwog feels your pain. “I’ve been shitting my brains out. They obviously used bad ice in my drink only.”

Intrepid street artist, Jay Shells, has completed his latest project, “Rap Quotes.” He traveled around the city putting up fake street signs at specific locations mentioned in rap songs. What’s even better is that he finally teaches us how to pronounce Schermerhorn (1:15). (Animal New York) Plans to revitalize Harlem’s once vibrant jazz scene are well […]

A bit after hearing Macklemore would not be performing at Bacchanal, we started hearing rumblings that–in fact–Macklemore would be coming to Columbia.  Hating feeling fooled, Bwog reached out directly to Macklemore’s manager, who confirmed that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will be performing at Bacchanal. The announcement from Bacchanal was going to come out on midnight, April 1st, […]

Last night, Speaker of the City Council Christine Quinn stopped by Barnard to campaign for mayor discuss the problems facing women and those facing the city. Bwog’s City Hall bureau chief Peter Sterne reports. The Diana Event Oval auditorium was packed with Barnard (and a few Columbia) students hoping to hear from Quinn, who is […]

Apparently, potty-training should be the tenth way of knowing. Barnard quad third floor residents received an email from the Associate Director for Residential Life detailing the closing of the 3rd floor Hewitt bathroom until April 5. The email detailed the issues with this bathroom, including “feces smeared on toilet seats and the floor, urine on […]

Here are the Spring 2013 candidates for the Engineering Student Council. Bwog giggled at “Fu’Tastic Four,” but wishes all the candidates luck in the election.
