In a recent Spectator article, Columbia’s Dean of Undergraduate Student Life, Cristen Kromm, was quoted saying that students found guilty of committing sexual assault will still be eligible to apply for leadership positions in NSOP and ISOP. Dean Kromm’s comments present sexual assault and gender-based violence as “mistake[s]” and opportunities for “learning, growth, and change.” […]

Tired of all the recent sorority drama? Hoping to join an organization that loves and supports the real you? Ready to live life with no restrictions (and practically unlimited access to alcohol)? If you answered yes to any of those questions, the Columbia University Marching Band has just the place for you: Gamma Theta Beta. […]

What’s the latest petition making the rounds? Not to worry: Gabrielle Kloppers is on petition watch (yes, that’s a real Bwog job) and she is ready to break it down for you. Students recently started a petition on Change.org to add Intro to Women’s and Gender Studies and Intro to Sexuality Studies to the Global […]

Chronically-broke Bwogger Nadra Rahman decided to trudge over to Uris to get in on that sweet Behavioral Lab action, with mixed results. You can rest assured she will never live off the grid. It started off pretty innocently. I wrote my name on a sheet of paper, received a stress ball in the shape of […]

Ready for a trip back to elementary school? You’ll be hit by waves of nostalgia when you watch the trailer for Pixar’s newest movie, Finding Dory. Let the Nemo obsession live on. (Youtube) Not only does Kanye listen to Sufjan Stevens (duh), he uses Pirate Bay to download torrent music (also duh, when you are 53 […]

After allowing us to review his previous mixtape, “The Master of Love,” Carman Hall security officer Mike Layne (aka Sir Mike) asked us to take a look at his next release, “Cruisin“. Daily Editor Finn Klauber takes a look at Mike’s creation to figure out whether or not it matches up to “The Master of Love.” The […]

CCSC Class of 2019 President Josh Schenk announced that Columbia Housing will install air conditioning units in the floor lounges of most undergraduate dorms this summer. Five undergraduate dorms already have air conditioning, and, according to CCSC Class of 2019 President Josh Schenk, installing units in other residence halls will “greatly improve the quality of […]

Dear Bwog, I’ve been having serious cravings lately. I really miss home-cooked meals and the tastes that I am accustomed to. All the food here is too colorful. But do you know what I’m really missing? Some good, ole-fashioned, sweaty white dick. Yours, cheesecake lover Dear Cheesecake lover, Don’t ever feel like you’re alone! Columbia […]

In response to Columbia University Apartheid Divest’s embracing of the Barnard Columbia Socialists’ treatment of the early 1990’s and 2000-2005 intifadas as actions of “civil disobedience,” over 600 students, alumni, and faculty have come together to condemn the characterization. The group is not representative of Aryeh, J Street Initiative, or any pro-Israel group on campus, but includes […]

GSSC goes big and doesn’t go home, adding new positions, approving new decisions, dealing with the new TA resolution, and not addressing toilet paper sustainability. Wednesday warrior Jennifer Nugent watched it all with breathless excitement. This week, the General Studies Student Council (GSSC) was a mixed bag of seriousness, extended discussion, and lighthearted moments. The […]

Last night, Professor Claudia Dreifus hosted Editor’s Night, which boasted a great selection of editors in international and science journalism. Eager to soak up their collective wisdom, Joanna Zhang attended the event with an open mind.  As someone with no background in journalism, the one thing I took away from Editor’s Night is that it’s […]

Yesterday was Super Tuesday, and Donald Trump won a whole bunch of states in the Republican primaries, including Alabama, Massachusetts, Georgia, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Arkansas, capturing 192 delegates. Ted Cruz is in second place, having won Texas and Oklahoma, while Marco Rubio finishes up with a victory in Minnesota. In brief: abandon hope all […]

There are few greater joys in life than sitting down at a red Diana Cafe table with a white pizza covered in basil and cheese. Hell, we’ll even settle for a BBQ chicken or tomato basil pizza every now and then when things get desperate. But that’s it—the pepperoni pizzas are trash. Alas, we digress. […]

On this Super Tuesday we look at our own elected student governments to figure out what, if anything, they are actually doing. In SGA this week, for example, Raji Ganapathy reports on the conversation between SGA and Barnard’s Dean Hinkson.  SGA’s meeting this week was dedicated to holding a formalized conversation with administrative special guest, Dean […]

In a new Bwog feature, we go into Butler Library to explore some of the most checked-out books at Columbia. Once we find them, we look not at the content of the literature but at the discourse around them. The notes written in by generations of students, if they don’t illuminate some new feature of […]
