While you may recognize her name from the captions of innumerable Bwog illustrations, Louise McCune expresses her artistic appreciation of a more sensual form in her review of Orchesis’ new show. If you could only get your hands on the program, piece titles like “Bird Girl,” “Feral,” and “Late Anthropocene” should give you a clue […]

Bwog’s Twin Truth Hunters, Alex Avvocato and Eynon, braved the swarm of soon-to-be-homeless graduate students to bring you an inter-generational campus character. The first impression of Hilton Als is surprisingly snuggly given that he’s a survivor of both the dicey starving artist New York of yesteryear and the cutthroat world of glossy magazines. The current […]

Following AP‘s reveal of NYPD surveillance of Muslim student groups both inside and outside the city extended to Columbia, PrezBo and DSpar responded with disapproval. But was disapproval enough? Columbia’s MSA called for an outright condemnation. Just about half an hour ago, PrezBo sent yet another e-mail that Columbia had no prior knowledge to the event. He stresses that we must feel […]

Housing Registration is only 5 days away! You’ve been sending us questions and we’ve been answering them, but we all know you can never have too much information about Housing. To that end, you’ll notice we have re-added our handy Housing Links widget over there on the right sidebar of the page. Depending on where […]

Life gives you ramen, Matt Powell gives you a gourmet dinner. When Zach told me that his kitchen consisted mostly of dried goods, I was thinking beans, rice, pasta, quinoa. But what I found was a giant crate of ramen! It was kind of ridiculous. Then, I found out that Zach invited 5 friends for […]

It’s been nearly two weeks since Bwog’s bracketology majors debuted the Bwog Coffee Showdown, with the goal of finding the best cup of coffee in Morningside? Sure, you can read about Linsanity on any sports page, but only Bwog’s Sports Desk can provide in-depth coverage of Columbia’s very own pursuit of the perfect brew. With all the rigor of […]

Here we are with another fun game with which to consume your liquid of choice.  Today we harken back to Columbia of yesteryear with this Columbia-centric version of the classic Kings game.  Winner gets to wear a crown, metaphorical or otherwise.  Play safe and remember what AlcoholEdu taught you: don’t be that guy. You Will […]

Two younglings approach Lerner from the Furnald side, gazing excitedly through the glass façade: Kiddo 1: “Woah! How do you get in?” Kiddo 2: “It looks like a maze!” Kiddo 1: “I could just like, run… up the stairs” Kiddo 2: “But it’s like… a ramp?” Don’t worry guys, we don’t understand it either. Hunt […]

Sweet motivational signs were spotted in the Diana Center, causing Bwog to give a collective “awww” and reflect on our happy moments at this school.  Take a moment and do the same!

Public, private, magnet, or charter, you’ve gotta learn the three Rs somewhere.  While some schools are banning shoes, on Tuesday at 6:30 pm in the Diana Center, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education Diane Ravitch had to wonder: “Is Public School a Public Good or a Shoestore?”  Educated in education citizen Clava Brodsky sat straight […]

Hey – did you notice how beautiful the weather is right now?  Put on pants, leave your room, and go walk around!  While you’re doing so, be sure to check out the Greenmarket which is here, as always, every Thursday and Sunday between 114th and 116th on Broadway.  Below, see this week’s highlights: Gajeski Produce […]

At some point Wednesday afternoon/night, I lost my very favorite pair of tortoise folding ray ban wayfarers. They are a couple of years old and are not of much value (scratched lenses, missing a decal, signs of harsh love). I’ve had them for 5 years and I just can’t let ’em go. As a reward […]

Trickster Sacha Baron Cohen is still invited to this weekend’s Oscars, but only under certain conditions. (Hollywood Reporter) A Columbia survey found that 70% of youths have illegally attained music, TV shows, or movies (sorry!!) – but is it an invitation for further crackdowns or easier legal access? (MSNBC) Anne Frank has been invited posthumously pulled into […]
