Gerry Visco, Bwog’s favorite classicist and “keeper of the flame,” sent out another memorable e-invitation to Saturnalia. “Those of you who are scared of me or anyone else here belongs in the suburbs with the Stepford Wives,” Visco wrote in a Bwog comment. Read on and wish your professor were this adorable: Please join us […]

We beseech you Columbia: wear a coat. While walking to class, Bwog was appalled by the number of people thoroughly unprepared for today’s flurries. (Flipflops? Come on…) It’s fucking cold outside; dress appropriately.

The SIPA WikiLeaks saga has come to a close. Last week, SIPA Office of Career Services warned students eyeing government positions to shut up about the whistle-blowing wonder that is WikiLeaks. Even tweeting and  linking to leaked documents on those crazy social networking sites could jeopardize future employment opportunities. “Engaging in these activities,” the email […]

One of the greatest perks of an Ivy League education is having all sorts of guest lecturers and talks hosted right on campus. Yet many of these great talks are not publicized enough. Enter  Bucket List, a weekly feature that aggregates these events in a single location that will hopefully make you realize, like Bwog […]

We have a winner! Jody Zellman captured the first flakes! “The scourge is here,” Jody writes in his winning email. And a few more snowflakes courtesy of Hans Hyttinen:

Hark!  Snow approacheth! The first person to tip a picture of snow in Morningside gets their name mentioned on Bwog and eternal glory. Below, a poem by Robert Frost: The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part […]

Grant D’Avino keeps you up to date! The University Senate passed a smoking ban! As it stands, smoking will be prohibited within a 20-foot bubble around all buildings. The old, and loosely enforced, ban, as per New York state law, of 20 feet only applied to residence halls. Ashtrays or some other type of cigarette […]

Lotsa people are talking about SIPA’s reaction to WikiLeaks. Huffpo gave us this ridiculously dramatic photo, the Village Voice called Columbia fascist, and now NY Mag endorses NYU-style topless protesting. Apparently, telling students to ignore a major event totally revolutionizing journalism and politics counters the goals of most universities. Be rebellious, friends, go learn! Captain […]

The Marching Band really wants you to go to Orgo Night, so they made this promo:

Bwog has hopped, poked, and swiftly skimmed, but now we’re inviting other writers into the Bwog Bubble. We think there’s lots of fantastic campus journalism out there that sometimes slips under the radar. In the spirit of Enlightenment salons from centuries past, we present our newest feature, BwogSalon. Bwog asked the editors of each publication […]

There are NO FUCKING SEATS IN BUTLER. Stay in bed. Don’t come here. We should mention that there are other libraries, they just don’t stay open at night when you need to them to be.

Rami Levi was studying in the stacks when he felt the urge to procrastinate. Upon finding a bottle of Mike’s Hard Lemonade, our procrastinator extraordinaire was inspired. He did what any reasonable person would do in the situation; he used the bottle, and a few books, to make a stop-motion video.
