Ta-Nehisi Coates is a senior editor at The Atlantic. The New York Observer has called him “the single best writer on the subject of race in the United States.” (Coates disagrees.) He has been asked to be a permanent columnist for the New York Times. And he hangs out in some of the same places […]

The time has come: to commit, to declare, to promise, to pronounce, to scream from the rooftops — or to just do on your phone during lecture. Regardless of how much pomp and circumstance you attach to it, if you’re a CC sophomore, you should probably declare your major, concentration, or triple-major-double-concentration-combo at some point […]

In the course of Not Doing Work, Bwog totally forgot about our I-Banking interviews and midterms when we saw our GBFF had instagrammed an iPhone screenshot we’d all been waiting for: Columbia University has had the inestimable honor of being profiled by Betches Love This. The article is pretty tame by Bwog-comment standards. The most […]

I lost my iPod Touch sometime yesterday (3/11) either at SIPA, along Amsterdam, or Brad’s. It has a subway map for a case. It is being dearly missed and has great sentimental value! Finder will be rewarded. Please email me at rthek92@gmail.com if you have any info or would like to return it!

As spring break approaches, SGA met last night to discuss gender inclusive bathrooms on Barnard’s campus. Bwog sent towel-equipped Maddie Ball (in honor of Douglas Adam’s birthday) to get the details. This week, SGA was joined by Maddy Popkin of Q, Barnard’s premier and only LGBTQA club. The topic of discussion? Bathrooms. Before you wrinkle […]

Despite what his tour poster says, 3LAU will not be playing at Columbia on April 18th. According to a Pi Delta Psi member at last night’s Inter-Greek Council meeting, there had been an issue getting administrator approval for 3LAU to play at a Greek house. Instead, his concert, hosted by Pi Delta Psi, will be […]

Take a peek at the many faces of Iran.(Atlantic) Apparently our abilities to remember the past and to plan the future are closely related. And some of us are much better than others. (WSJ) […]

Bwog likes to descend into Butler on Sunday nights (just as a sense of doom is descending) to gather an idea of what’s going on with fellow Columbians. This week we asked you, “What are you doing over spring break?” The normal. Caffeinated girl by the bathroom: “I feel like I’ve been living off coffee […]

Lost light grey nylon backpack on 3/9 or 3/10. Has a ”Mountain Equipment Co-op” logo on it. Please email bzs2104@columbia.edu if found. Thanks!

Our great leaders at CCSC meet weekly, and Maren Killackey reports what went down this week. A mercifully short meeting thanks to a hellish week: First was an announcement from Dean of Residential Programs Cristen Kromm regarding RC@C facilitators. The RC@C program aims to teach incoming first years that drugs are “bad” and alcohol is […]

After tripping over construction workers for weeks, Duane Reade is practically done with renovations. Bwog sent our Decoration Diva Angel Jiang to check it out, in honor of the five-aisled edifice to self-improvement.  The first thing to note about Duane Reade’s renovation is that the entrance, formerly in correspondence to the stairs to the lower level, is […]

This past weekend, the Columbia Musical Theatre Society performed an hour-long musical performance, with lyrics by a Barnard alum.  Culture Connoisseur Hannah Kauders reviews.   The cast of CMTS’s Party Worth Crashing entertained audiences in sold-out performances this week in the Lerner Black Box.

In a “courageous” new advertising scheme, The Pet Market on 109th is showing movies on the TV in its front window. When it’s closed. And the wrong Disney movie—Brave instead of 101 Dalmatians. Does the security guard enjoy family-friendly movies? Is this intended to scare off the crutchèd bandit? All we have is a blurry photo. […]
