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 […]

In response this week’s mock apartheid wall as a part of this year’s Israeli Apartheid Week, Students Supporting Israel (SSI) constructed a Pinocchio display on College Walk directly across from the mock wall. This follows Israeli Apartheid flyer vandalization earlier this week. A tipster sent us the photo below of the display as of early this afternoon. The display is believed […]

One week ago, CCSC took a stand on a very important and very pressing campus issue: toilet paper quality. Their petition on change.org provides a quote from “Joe the Pooper”, a student with particularly “anustounding” testimony regarding the unbelievably pathetic 2-ply TP Columbia’s top notch students are forced to deal with: “I’m a sophomore in […]

Today is Super Tuesday. That means thirteen states will engage in Republican and Democratic primaries or caucuses, with Alaska and Wyoming engaging only in Republican caucuses. While this day does not directly determine who will become the Republican or Democratic nominee, it will demonstrate how candidates perform over vastly different demographics across the entire United States. (Fox) […]

A couple of weeks ago, we told Columbia to get its shit together. But as February drags on longer than we thought possible and midterm season digs into our sleep schedules and self confidence, we’re starting to realize that the real culprit may not be the institution we inhabit, but our sorry asses themselves. Last […]

“This is actually something that was brought to our attention by students this past weekend,” Benjamin Makansi (CCSC President) said, when asked if the last item of business the Columbia College Student Council tackled on their Sunday night meeting (making “Cannon’s accessible beyond freshmen and Manhattan College people”) was a joke. The resolution was, apparently, far […]

An anonymous source (presumably someone on Allsex?), just submitted a tip alerting us of free food on the 2nd floor of the Diana Center. Go get some delicious, free bake sale goodies while supplies last. Thanks, tipster!
