OK! You got us. As you may (or more likely, may not) have realized, our April Fool’s Day joke was to turn Bwog into Bwog for Mt. Holyoke, the all-women’s college. You may have noticed the Mt.

We’re used to the occasional mugging by underage punks around campus but March has seen greater than its fair share of crime.  Perusing our beloved campus crime blotter, Bwog noted several horrific incidents that happened in the last month.

Yesterday, Bwog’s Housing Inquisitor, David Hu, collected the reactions of those lucky souls owning the best housing lottery numbers. Today, he’s back with the not-so-lucky. Bwog: How did you feel when you found out? Loser Less Fortunate Columbian 1: It was actually funny. I just sat there chuckling at myself asking how that number was […]

Two rather different entries in the free food log tonight: First, the Columbia University International Relations Forum will be serving a free Indian buffet in advance of a screening of The Sky Below, an award-winning documentary on Pakistan and India. Singh will be in attendance, and a conversation will follow the screening. That’s all happening […]

The Columbia Political Union hosted another in its series of debates between the Columbia Democrats and Republicans. Senior Junior Political Correspondent Derek Huang was there.

Food trucks have been all the rage for some time now, and they’ve begun to creep into Morningside Heights. We’ve had the Dessert Truck. We’ve still got the Wafels & Dinges truck.
