With Thanksgiving a distant memory and our 39 day winter break on the horizon, the holiday season is officially upon us. No matter your non-secular celebration of choice come December, campus groups are affording everyone the opportunity to do good deeds. Karma: the gift that keeps on giving.  Today in Lerner there is a veritable […]

Anonymous passerby wants to know why there’s a tent filled with blankets in front of Barnard’s Lehman library. This morning, Bwog inquired about the painted, comforter-filled tent. Three girls manning the table behind the tent explained that the tent was symbolic of a call for discourse about academic issues concerning Barnard to take place on […]

Filmmaker wins award for documentary, is kind of an asshole about it This article is like our collective id—thoughts of humiliating nature usually repressed by censors barring them from entering conscious thought. Something… went amiss here. Wrestling tournament—in complete seriousness—is called Mat-Town USA Open Premeds take a break from mutually assured sabotage to address scathing […]

Class councils are usually content with spamming our inboxes and springing for the occasional platter of Dino BBQ. And God bless ’em for it–free food and the electronically-reinforced illusion of class unity are the two pillars upon which successful student government stand. But the CC 2011 class council is taking this time-honored formula to its next […]

In a rather embarrassing miscommunication, Bwog has realized that its special guest, The New Yorker‘s Lauren Collins, is actually scheduled to come NEXT Monday, not tonight. You are all still very much welcome to come say hi though (at our regularly scheduled time of 9:30 PM) and now you have a whole week to get […]

The cruel cycle of nature continues–right in front of Lewisohn! Writes a tipster: “Just at noon (right now!) I saw a GIANT hawk in front of the sculpture facing Lewisohn, chowing down on some small animal.  It’s neat to see real wild life in the city.” And it’s neat to see such fitting metaphors for […]

So to speak. “After these long, lonely months without a Columbia soap opera,” writes CTV producer totally independent operator Katie Simon, “we decided it was time for a change. Prepare yourself for Exclusion Suite, Columbia’s SECOND original soap opera, coming this January to an internet connection near you.” Get involved in what’s sure to be […]

Warm up the bulldozers… Fruit flies infest LGBTQ lounge. We’re not making this up Hunger strike nostalgia! Bwog forced to replace its wardrobe Spec reviewer knows something is happening, attempts to explain what it is. Doesn’t he…Mr Jones? And from the outside: The return of Ahmadineblog (kinda)! Where commenters of near-Bwoggian viciousness “praise Ahmadinejad for […]

We weren’t quite sure what to think when the Varsity Show C-team came calling with a request to ask you, dear readers, to tell them how to write this year’s show. Do they really want to expose themselves to netizen ridicule? What good could come of a thread full of ad hominem attacks? But since […]

In which faith correspondent Lucy Sun finds tradition, and updates it. The Shabbat service at B’nai Jeshurun has already begun. “Shabbat is the place where we dare to dream,” the rabbi says of the Jewish day of rest. “We meet the angels halfway.” The music begins with a motley mix of instruments–cello, bongos, acoustic guitar […]

In which three young gentlemen–NYU correspondent W.M. Akers and temporary Brits John Klopfer and Brendan Ballou–offer their tales of Thanksgiving out of sorts. Isolation within the 116th St. gates may be hard to take, but think of the NYU students. Not all are able to leave the city during Thanksgiving and Winter break, and although […]

Ah, Thanksgiving break, the time for turkey, family, pie, and untimely assigned papers. Surprisingly, Bwog has a family too, so posts may be a bit sparse for the next few days. But before we binge on pecan pie, in the vein of traditions, Bwog gives credit where it’s due. Through a very long e-mail thread, […]

What WAS that last night?  Now you know.    Incidentally, Bwog loves videos. If you have original footage of Columbia life, send it on in.

Quasi-frat ADP had their semi-exclusive Hot Jazz party cancelled last  year, so this year they’ve taken their operation where the long arm of the law can’t reach them: the high seas! Well, technically, the Hudson River is still under U.S. jurisdiction, but the booze cruise is outside of Public Safety’s range. Their boat is apparently […]

What the editorial board is thankful for: the chance to make a wise-ass prayer Sprayregen swaps out Greedy humanitarians require more money Rage against the machine not being more machine-like (and wasn’t it “sing”? maybe I remembered wrong) This article isn’t about JDate? Plus, from the archives: We hope she makes it another year…
