With such a large and diverse student body [read: so much time spent dwelling in Butler like a vampire bat], it’s easy to miss out on some of the outstanding people on campus. Significant examples are Daniel O’Neill (CC ’13), James Wiseman (CC ‘ 13), and Emma Kahle (CC ’14), the recently named world champions […]

And he seems to love gin just as much as we do! International has extended its weekend hours. Behold:

Earlier today, Spec reported that police had arrested a young woman who’s been posing as a Columbia freshman for the past few weeks, despite having no official Columbia enrollment (or enrollment at any Columbia-affiliated school. The woman told freshmen and OLs that her name was “Rhea Sen” and Spec reported she was about 20 years old, […]

Politicians, long known for bizarre cultural practices, are once again trying to convince voters that they’re human– or at least more so than the other guy. (WaPo, Buzzfeed) This week Lincoln Center is swarming with people that Bwog assumes are dressed for some sort of elaborate mating ritual. (NYMag) In addition to throwing and kicking things, […]

Columbia Athletics is back in action and so is Bwog Sports! Every Sunday, Bwog rounds up the biggest Columbia sporting news of the week for those who couldn’t catch every game at Baker and Levein, or for those who couldn’t point to Baker or Levein on a map but like to stay in the loop […]

Everyone needs a little love after the first Sunday back on the grind; Bwog is no exception. If you want to help us get (our posts) up come to our meeting in the SGO on Lerner 5 at 7 pm sharp. Bwog will be waiting sprawled on the table with a bottle of lube delicious snacks! […]

Nary a week ago, a Bwogger was sitting in a lecture hall, idly taking notes while browsing Reddit. It was the early afternoon, and most students were beginning to get restless as their 75-minute sentence approached its end. And that’s when it happened. “…which admittedly would never happen here in MoHi…” uttered the previously-respected professor. […]

Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. It’s a slow first week to the Bucket List, but feel free to mention any events we may have missed in the comments section and we’ll […]

Embracing the ridiculousness of the birther movement, Obama quips about Hawaiian birth certificates. (NYT) Conspiracies about conspiracy theorists launch conspiracy theories. (MSNBC) Someone was preparing for the apocalypse in a Brooklyn housing project… with an exotic animal zoo? (Gothamist) The government actually is watching you.

Except not the kind with a fun theme/drinking games. According to an email from Provost Coatsworth that was sent to SEAS students yesterday, the obligatory search for an official dean has commenced. While we don’t yet know what this means for Goldean, it turned out well for interim-cum-official Columbia College Deantini. The search party’s timeline is […]

Historically, New York has not seen many tornados. (So few so that Bwog had to lookup whether there’s an “e” in the plural.  You can go either way.)  To celebrate this atypical natural splendor, Alexandra Svokos urges you to Choose Your Own Adventure: A. You are sitting in bed, noshing on some Strawberry Veronas and […]

Update: The view from East Campus is being described as “mad cool,” and “hella terrifying” by residents. The following email was just sent out by Dean Martinez, on behalf of Public Safety: The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch and predicted severe thunder storms for our area until 9:00pm tonight. All students are asked to […]

Each week, amateur astronomer Zach Kagan watches the skies for signs of SCIENCE. We present here this week’s findings—a special offering that highlights the search for dark matter. Dark Matter is a term that’s thrown around a lot when people talk about unsolved mysteries in astrophysics. You’ve probably heard about the stuff, but you may not […]

Approaching a potential new friend at Columbia can be super hard; subtly indicating to that person how cool/smart/funny you are without outright showing them your canon of Will-Arnett-as-Gob impressions can be even harder. Bwog has been there! That’s why we’ve prepared these versatile, easy-to-use mad libs for those Sweet ’16ers who haven’t quite broken the […]

A nocturnal critter of the crime-fighting variety has decided to move in on Wien 10, “living,” as the tipster put it, “happily on the ceiling.” They’ve named the little guy Bruce Wien, probably because the bat is a rich orphan or something. Thanks to DY for the tip
