In which Bwog tides you over until Monday’s QuickSpec by bringing you Columbia-related happenings from the real world.  Some connections to our lady Alma Mater are dubious and/or doubtful. Nudist/Columbia Grad Donates Playing Card Collection Dali expert and nude hiker Albert Field‘s collection of 6,536 decks of cards have been archived and restored in Columbia’s […]

Your guide to what’s worth watching on the Internet returns and TV critic Rob Trump comes bearing good news for fans of Neil Patrick Harris and Joss Whedon alike. I feel like I’ve started the last three or four of these with some variant on “Well, I’m not sure that this really belongs in the […]

Clear sunny days like today make it easy to appreciate fall, a cruel and unpredictable season. Unfortunately days this lovely are few and far between and many of us end up, somewhat unfairly, associating the season with the end of summer blues, midterms, and other decidedly unpleasant things.  But Bwog is here to make sure […]

You’ve heard of LectureHops, you’ve heard of RoomHops, and BarHops. Meet the latest species of the Hopping persuasion: the LibraryHop.   Here, Bwog offers a guide to the NYPL’s Performing Arts Library.  Happy studying!  O, autumn! That time of year when yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang! This may or may not be such […]

This week Saturday Styles spotlights the biker and bomber jackets.  This fall, Columbia students have thrown their concerns for animal rights to the wind and have embraced the leather bomber/biker jacket. And really how better to fend off the blustery October winds than with a sharply fitted leather jacket? Both Bwog and our friends over […]

Emerging from Fortress Lerner just now, Bwog was nearly mowed down by a swarm of young white male skateboarders, like a Critical Mass for the four wheeled set. They went on for minutes upon minutes — what could this be? Where do they come from? Do they have some kind of skateboarder phone tree? If […]

Oh, good morning! Look, it’s the Columbia men’s swim team, doing their part to give prospective students the Best. College. Tour. Ever. More photos — because look who’s suddenly so interested in Columbia athletics! — after the jump.

It’s time for another chapter in the sorry tale of Madonna Constantine, the TC psychology professor who found a noose on her door and later found herself the subject of a plagiarism investigation. Anyway, she’s back, and she’s suing Columbia for wrongful termination. She had planned to appeal her termination, but that having apparently not […]

As some of our more movie-savvy readers have noticed, Hermione Granger (also known by the alias of “Emma Watson”) is currently touring the Ivy League, having already made stops at Harvard, Yale, and Brown (?), and provoking geeky analogies that Bwog certainly will not engage in. Though, just for the record, we would like to […]

Bwog once again presents the Friday Sports Roundup, now with national media attention! Women’s Soccer: We are giving women’s soccer the top slot today, both because of their stellar record, and because of the national media attention they’ve drawn. Last weekend, the team won its fifth and sixth consecutive games. On Saturday night, reigning Ivy […]

Many of you no doubt perked up in late August when the U.S. News & World Report college rankings were released. Others pretended they were too cool for those rankings, and then snuck in a peek anyways.  Well, now, the Times of London has released its own rankings, and, unlike the America-only U.S. News rankings, […]

How can we have an election without voters? Let’s register! What if we want to start a holiday early? Let’s have a carnival! What do we do now that a radio station isn’t on the dial anymore? Listen online! What happens when we wait for a new president? Speculate! What if I want to follow […]

About half the College freshman class turned out to vote on Tuesday for this year’s 2012 leadership, and after a short hiccup created by switching over to a new electronic voting system (Miami-Dade here we come?) results are out! The REAL Party – headed up by President Erik Kogut and VP Hannah Wilentz – won […]

The people of Postcrypt are advertising for an event tomorrow night by — how else? — erecting an homage to the Eastern Bloc, right on your College Walk. According an email from the club, the makeshift Berlin Wall is here for you to draw on, the theme for tomorrow’s show being “Propaganda.”  There’s even a […]
