Bwog is signing off for awhile to stuff our faces with sweetmeats and to relax Frankie Goes to Hollywood-style. But before we do, we asked several campus figures to tell us what they want for Chrismakwanzikkah or the other non-denominational winter holiday they celebrate. We got a few responses, starting with Sumaiya Ahmed’s interview with… Antonio, […]

Because porn and politics go together so well, we decided to combine the two.  Outlet (which doesn’t exist in hard copy because funding didn’t happen) Sex sells, but weird sex sells better! Disturbing non-sequitur  How they did it in the Auld Country Last minute Christmas gifts for….not your mother Would that we could all be […]

Bwog music critic Bryan Mochizuki took the pulse of Columbia’s musical authorities–his findings follow.  Last week, we asked members of the Columbia music community – singers, DJs, Spec writers, snobs – to tell us their top 10 lists for 2006.  They did.  We’ve been sitting on the ballots for a few days – mostly correcting […]

In this second installment of a nine-night marathon, Butler Correspondent Maryam Parhizkar narrates what it’s like to have stayed longer than almost anyone.  Night 5 By late evening the next night others have joined us in our little study spot. Someone brought pillows and […]

The great thing about Hanukkah’s fourth night, said J-school professor Ari Goldman as he lit the lanterns of Chabad‘s traveling menorah this evening, is that the people who believe the candles should be lit in descending order and those who believe one should be added every night can at least agree that, on that night, […]

Dear Bwogosphere,  We sense a lot of pent-up energy out there. Please use this thread to air your thoughts on finals, Christmas, or quantum theory. And tell us what you think of the idea–who knows, we could make it a regular thing. Love, Bwog  

An anonymous tipster reports everyone’s favorite FYSAAC adviser Jay Orenduff is giving out Christmas lottery tickets to students who come by to see him. Maybe you’ll strike it big — the odds are you’ll win the jackpot before you get into that senior seminar.

You’ve probably had your library odysseys. Some last longer than others. In this first installment of a nine-night marathon, Butler Correspondent Maryam Parhizkar narrates what it’s like to have stayed longer than almost anyone. I remember trying to spend as little time in the library as possible freshman year (finals season excluded). This year, given […]

And now for another self-indulgent preview of B&W’s fine print issue this month, on stands now! The [Guy with the Same Name as the] Decimal System Guy Himself A Conversation Only CC Students Can Understand  They’re Walking Paradoxes Verily Comes Clean 

While most of us are still trapped in the vortex of thrice-extended overdue papers, Butler pathogen infestations, and chronic Red Bull overconsumption, many eager SEAS engineerlings have written to remind the Columbia community that it’s not too early to plan our post-exam exodi to the airport, train station, or, for those who made a truly daring college […]

This message found taped to an EC vending machine. Not that angry statements against laundry aggressors aren’t that novel, but this one’s pretty harsh… ATTENTION:  To whoever stole my year-supply of TIDE detergent (w/Febreze): I would like to tell you personally, that you are a douchebag. You couldn’t grab like a load’s-worth of detergent, you […]

Each car is packed with people donning Santa Claus costumes. Train is too […]

Lieutenant Colonel Isaiah “Ike” Wilson, a visiting professor at SIPA on loan from West Point, has a more than academic understanding of the Iraq War, having studied it from both an historian’s and a commissioned officer’s perspective. Bwog editor Sara Vogel caught up with Wilson before class to talk about bad planning, doing better, and–of […]

Ah, Orgo Night, that which pisses off many a disgruntled grad student and brings a little cheer to many a CC or LitHum studier. This year, an avidly procrastinating Bwog strives to chronicle the fun as it happens. Bear with us as we try to get (most-likely superfluous) pictures and funny overheards up as soon […]
