Everyone Allied Against Homophobia is sponsoring a cupcake-based study break tonight. They have even imported fancy cupcakes from famous downtown bakery Magnolia.  Go to the Stephen Donaldson Lounge (located in the basement of Furnald) at 9 PM tonight for frosting, fun, etc. 

Cooped up in the decidedly warm and dry comforts of its dorm room today, Bwog noticed on this most spooky and rainy of autumn afternoons that the jokesters at the Fed have published their third (and equally eerie) issue of the semester.  Prez-Bo-Hef likes Halloween parties, digs Kanye even more. Find yourself at Ricky’s? Not […]

With the election a mere week away and the presidential candidates making their final appeals to voters in swing states tirelessly this week, it seems that Columbia political science professors have been all but missing out on the action.  That is of course, until now.  According to the popular electoral projections website fivethirtyeight.com, founded in […]

Good afternoon! My, it is raining quite consistently today. So, we’re inviting all amateur photographers, no matter just how amateur, to take some photos of the weather and its effects. Send us pictures of puddles, colorful umbrellas, children in galoshes (especially children in galoshes), etc. and we’ll add them to this post.    Hawk photos […]

Bwog received an email early this morning from “ted” at CampusGrotto.com. We had never heard of CampusGrotto.com because honestly, have you? Still! They have heard of your Columbia, which they rank 39th in their list of the one hundred most expensive colleges. CG estimates your tuition to be $37,470, which is about five grand less […]

Teachers College to save the Dominican Republic. It’s an art house with an uncertain future. Do you remember CPR from your sixth-grade babysitting course? Turn off your TV for two minutes today — thankfully Gossip Girl airs Mondays. Spec’s rainy day political laundry list.

The Columbia Political Union has a spiffy new blog up which introduces itself as a “one stop shop for politics and political events at Columbia.” Hooray, consolidation! The site has an events calendar with all sorts of fun on-and-off campus (sometimes very vaguely) political events, and is conveniently divided into categories of news, humor, campus, […]

Local market Appletree has become quite the fancy establishment as of late! There’s a new, overpriced salad bar, and they’ve stopped renting VHS tapes. Plus, here’s this latest element of the Great Appletree Makeover: the store has a brand new facade, which is a rather becoming shade of royal red.  

A crowd that seemed equal parts elderly folk and clueless young things landing last-minute Music Hum concert reports packed Philosophy Lounge this afternoon to watch the Daedalus Quartet, in residence here at Columbia, perform the pen-penultimate of Haydn’s ‘Sun’ Quartets. The last one they played, explained violinist Min-Young Kim, was the sunniest of the six–this […]

October’s Blue&White graces the World Wide Web today!  A few gems from this month’s issue: Columbia Republicans kick off the year with open arms A day of discovery and unsheathed broadswords at the Medieval Festival in Fort Tryon Park  Ever wanted to be a banker? Yeah, not anymore A run-down of Morningside’s ghosts  “When I […]

Bwog continues its tour of Butler alternatives today with an excursion to the Math and Science Library. Everyone knows that Avery is the Paul McCartney to Butler’s John Lennon: the second-most-famous one, the arguably better looking (or more aesthetically pleasing) one. Avery is gorgeous, it’s close, it’s quiet, there’s Brownies in the basement, there are […]

Coming soon to 113th Street: McVickar hall, another space for alumni to network…but this time with undergrads! Just five short years until the 6th and 7th graders at Columbia’s Secondary School can get a taste of the big kid Core  The headline “Stale Castlevania Goes Eclectic in Order of Ecclesia” exists, heralds in a new […]

A mysterious tipster clues us in… Our men’s club water polo team won the New York State Championship today, huzzah!  On the way, we beat Syracuse and, yes, NYU. As fourth seed, we beat Army (West Point) 7-4.  This means that Columbia gets to go to club championships in Ohio.   This news comes two […]

Morningside is no stranger to crazy people.  Every once in a while, however, one pops up who can’t just be ignored. It’s generally accepted (or rather, Wikipedia states firmly) that crazy person Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon in 1980, leading to his death.  Stories like that are never complete without their conspiracy theorists, however. […]

Blame them, they were luckier than poor Bwog this week. The lineup: Lucky journalists get money, lucky roaches get their home, lucky Wieners love their view. Strong, beautiful, and lucky; small, sticky, and lucky. The luckiest delivery people are now rich, the luckiest bankers have no money, and the luckiest independents drown in pessimism.
