The title pretty much says it all.

Looks like Student Governing Board has got a room of their own–in Student Affairs, complete with a new Associate Dean, two advisors, and a financial assistant (although they’ve since been ironed out, SGB has a definite history of fiscal difficulties). According to a press release today, the SGB governing board is happy with how things […]

Last week, Bwog brought you the daring discoveries of Columbia’s most intrepid research scientists; two weeks ago we uttered our approval (or lack thereof) for newsworthy alums. This week, we bring Columbia’s finest faculty and awesomest alumni together in a feature uncreatively titled Monday Medley. Theatre of the Deterred, Honors for the Deserved Perhaps the […]

When an email about campaign finance reform landed in Bwog’s inbox, we began having nightmares of Congressional debates fueled by the best arguments the lobbyists of K Street could supply. Fortunately, the information we received actually concerns some changes recently put forward by our own, arguably less venal CCSC. University Senator David Ali, C’07 President David […]

When a Minuteman speech was interrupted by a fire bell at Georgetown, it turned out to be a literal false alarm. Not so at Michigan State Law School recently, where Tom Tancredo, a Republican Congressman from Colorado who has become a sort of anti-illegal-immigration lightning rod, was forced to stop speaking when student activists twice sounded the alarm […]

A tipster wrote in to alert Bwog to an apparent SEAS conspiracy brewing at Google Labs. The image of Columbia’s campus on Google Maps is overlaid by “Columbia Univ – School of Engineering” while “Columbia University” is confined to 120th & Broadway, somewhere in the neighborhood of Pupin. We knew SEAS had been stepping into […]

After 20 years of safe subterranean spelunking, admin. to shut off access to fun…oops, dangerous chemicals… …and will make damn sure you stay in your boring science and math classes… …but the utter thrill of manipulating financial aid loopholes remains. Go agency!  Er…go agency? Meanwhile, GS students, as always, find a “nontraditional” way to cheat the system […]

It’s starting to get a little too serious around here for Bwog—luckily, enough ridiculous things happened this week to keep us from wilting of stress. – Y’all came back from Thanksgiving, bearing tales of debauchery and disillusionment – We entertained ourselves with star-studded tree lightings and invigorating staircase sprints, and got some culture after indulging […]

It’s official, at least according to Professor Eric Foner: George Bush has already earned the honor of becoming the Worst President Ever. Foner’s in-class remarks hit the printed page and the web today with an editorial in the Washington Post’s Sunday Outlook section and a post on DailyKos, where it’s up to 473 comments as […]

The November issue of the Fed is now online. Save the print copy for appropriate bathroom reading. Hey kids! Let’s make fun of English majors, decades later, in the vain hopes of avoiding their fate!   But SEAS kids, not to worry! Steve Wozniak, co-founder of the Apple Computer, speaks out on segway polo, his genius, […]

Photos and commentary by Bwog Photographer Sumaiya Ahmed. This Autumn sort of passes at times without my notice. But one day, my CC class decides to savor global warming outside and I remember my camera. On my way to Arabic class in Kent, I want to take pictures, but I wonder maybe my camera shouldn’t […]

After a brief hiatus during which Bwog’s cooking expert performed brilliantly on her chemistry exams (extracting DNA is a lot like making mayo, yo), Cooking with Bwog is back, bringing you recipes and wisdom for the dorm kitchen. As always, if you have questions for the culinary team or have recipes you’d like to share, […]

Bwog knows every time you lose a notebook, a little piece of you dies. On the desk in the Lerner Lobby, someone nice has collected all of the notebooks and academic-looking papers unwittingly abandoned by absentminded students. Here’s is a list of the things on the desk as of 2:30 am Saturday: Daniel Lomm’s midterm […]

This just in from Bwog correspondent Addison Anderson: “There are two male high school kids standing on College Walk, one of whom wants a Columbia student to take the SAT II for him.  He asked me if I was a Columbia undergraduate, and when I said yes, he said “Okay…so the SAT II is tomorrow…and […]
