We hope you have enjoyed one of our new features, Hidden Talents, which puts the spotlight on Columbians with uncommon abilities. However, we cannot continue this series without new people to interview…which is where you come in! Bwog is looking for anyone who is talented in some special way that makes them stand out from […]

The grotesques of the Britannia apartment building on 110th are somehow even more frightening when so bejeweled. Bwog Gargoyle Hunter Liz Naiden reports that the crowns went up last night for the centennial celebration of the Britannia’s construction. Back outside, one resident tells Bwog that this grotesque is called “the scholar.” One can only wonder […]

Bwog Queue Correspondent Anna Kelner sent in this picture of people waiting for their free HAIR tickets in Wallach: With only 44 tickets to hand out in total and the line already stretching around the corner, we dare imagine the anxiety people felt as they stood in line. And who knows, if you hurry, you […]

Bwog reader and Punny Physicist Steve Ma sent in this sign found in Pupin: Somewhere, in his non-relativistic afterlife, Newton is smiling.

If you’re willing to sign a pledge and be part of the National Marriage Boycott, a movement for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, head on over to the Lerner ramps before 2 and get cookies or brownies! If you’re not willing, well, eh, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. Image via […]

In the latest edition of Bwog’s profiles of unsung friendly faces around campus, Bwog contributor and Chief Burger Customizer Nikhita Mahtani took a trip to Hewitt and got to know Benny, the man behind the Barnard grill. Let’s be honest. Nobody wants to have a dining plan. But for the BC/CU students that have one […]

Looks like Columbia isn’t the only place that’s got a smoking controversy; many apartment landlords are banning smoking as well. (NYT) Bwog alum Zach van Schouwen is on the radar again, this time for creating a nifty video and website documenting the history of how one Manhattan block changed through the ages. (Gothamist) You can’t […]

Dear readers, As you may have noticed over the weekend, Bwog has received several much-needed upgrades to its publishing software. The renovations will allow us more flexibility in the site’s configuration as well as increase Bwog’s compatibility with third-party applications and search engines. Things you’ll particularly notice: Google Reader and RSS feeds will no longer […]

NAFTA weighing heavily on your mind? Alleviate your conspicuous consumption guilt at a fair-trade study break thrown by Students for Environmental and Economic Justice, at 6:00pm in Lerner’s East Ramp Lounge.  They’ll have equitably and sustainably grown and harvested tea, scones, and the like.

Ready or not (probably not), class registration begins tomorrow.  This usually means frantically clicking through SSOL, becoming dismayed at the slim pickings, and abandoning all hope of Art Hum for four different introductory Political Science lectures. Bwog, however, returns to bring you the best, the brightest, and the courses most likely to solicit “There is […]

And just like that, Columbia football is off the schneid, snapping their five-game losing streak with a convincing 30-20 win over Cornell.  The team took care of the ball when they had it (just one turnover in an area that’s plagued the team all year) and forced an impressive six turnovers on defense, including four […]

The New York Post weighs in on the impending 9/11 trial with the MOST INTENSE HEADLINE EVER (see picture). Bono returns to the Op-Ed page, makes fun of self, suggests that U2’s “One” may or may not have torn down the Berlin Wall. (New York Times) No one ever said love was cheap, but this […]

Last night after an anxious wait, Bwog finally got itself off the standby list and into what can only be described as a giant gothic living room in the bell tower of Riverside Church. Liz Naiden reports on how the one-night-only “Re-Imagined” completely, er… re-thought Columbia theater as we know it. The Director’s Note on […]

Movie Man Mark Hay is back, with a vengeance. A few days ago, a Columbia professor up and decked a female co-worker in the face. Totally uncalled for, totally unexpected, and totally scintillating violence. Somehow, as a result, your reviewer has spent the past week arguing the relative merits of violence in film and the […]

The Hindu Student Organization/Ahimsa’s Diwali Celebration is sold out, but enter your name on the waitlist and you’ll still have a chance of free food come 8:00. Also, Bwogger Anish Bramhandkar hears from inside sources that eventually doors will be opened to everyone. If ye be patient, be fed! Photo via Wikimedia Commons
