This evening, after a 45-minute long diatribe by a preachy opening speaker, a large group of students rushed Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist, in what descended into a free-for-all on the stage. Scroll below for the blow-by-blow and photos. 3:45 PM: Releases by the University and by the College Republicans appended below. 3:21 AM: Those […]

Bwog tipster John Shekitka sends in the following news about what they’re really learning over at Teacher’s College. I was in Horace Mann last night, a building at Teacher’s College, and noticed their monthly newsletter entitled ‘The Stall Street Journal.” I kid you not; this a newspaper that is affixed to the back of the […]

Have you found yourself getting lost more and more as of late?  Blame this maintenance truck, which has been driving around the Columbia area, both on and off campus, for the past week.  A sign is posted in its rear window, giving directions to the Registrar’s Office, the ID Center, and Student Financial Services—all of […]

Man oh man, food and drink are awesome!  We present you with the following. Overheard outside Tasti D-Lite: Boy: So, what exactly is “O’Tasti?” Employee: I don’t fucking know. Boy: I’ll take a large! And, in Ruggles: Person 1: Why do wine coolers even exist? Person 2: So people over 40 can get drunk while […]

Pussy, Pussy, Pussy, Pussy, Pussy.  Thank God I Can Finally Do That Without Fear Of Repercussion. Butler Employees Encouraged to Smuggle Contraband Across the Border; Library Explodes with Guns, Illegal Aliens, Cheap Prescription Drugs Alma Matters Wins Election, Loses Idealism At Long Last, a Chris Kulawik Column We Can All Agree On

The results are in, and CCSC has five new members! The Alma Matters ticket triumphed, with a whopping 27.2% of the vote–25 votes ahead of their nearest rival, Party of Five (even with an extended voting period, CC freshmen fell short of the national turnout average by about 10 points). President-elect Mark Modesitt picked up […]

After the reform Kol Nidre service at Hillel, everyone wishing each other a good year:   (Jewish) Law Student 1: Rosenblum?  Yale ’02?  Seligman?  We graduated in the same class!   (Jewish) Law Student 2: Yeah, yeah, you’re in my litigation class now right?   (Jewish) Bystander (muttering): Bunch of Jews. Happy atoning! Heard outside […]

While campus liberals gear up for an appearance by the founder of the anti-immigrant Minutemen, they might want to know what else College Republicans President Chris Kulawik has up his sleeve: family values Senator Rick Santorum, scheduled to visit at the end of October. Sources inside the Student Governing Board say that the Republicans blew […]

More stuff you shouldn’t have saved on public computers.   But if God is omnipotent, why does he care? As we see in Exodus 20:5, God declares that he is a “jealous God”. Could this be true? Is this why the Jews received a grand total of 613 commandments—to keep them in check?   Also, […]

In which freshman Bwog contributor extraordinaire Dan D’Addario gives you a guide to being, at least superficially, a cool kid. Columbia is full of those of us (myself included) who listened to Sufjan Stevens in high school and thus considered ourselves far too cool for those who listened to Dave Matthews Band. Well, karma has […]

PrezBo and company can’t seem to stay out of trouble these days! A disgruntled former employee has filed a $60 million lawsuit in US District Court against President Bollinger and other administrators, charging obstruction of justice and a “conspiracy to interfere with the civil rights of Blacks & other racial minorities.” Raghavendra was fired last […]

We told you not to quit your day job The Sophomore Slump–malnutrition-induced?  Man, why doesn’t anyone want to get lung cancer anymore? Dude, that’s whack.  Columnist seeks cred, ends up with sore foot  Editorial board has an epiphany: raising money is hard! 

Bwog has never done this before—Bwog has never heard anything quite so appalling, ever. Some gossip is sweet and innocent. Some gossip is so awful you wish you had never heard it (and we will give you that option). And some gossip redeems. We only wish that the three items following formed a real progression […]

Dear readers, Time for round two! In response to feedback, we’ve melded the new site and the old, bringing back the three-column format as well as the classic Blue and White color scheme (speaking of which, the magazine’s site has been spiffed up too).
