We get it: we’re ready for winter hibernation too, despite the unseasonably warm weather and 1020’s unsuccessful attempt to force […]

We bring you a final piece from this month’s Blue and White featuring an interview with Thomas Roma, courtesy of Virginia Fu. Thomas Roma is a photographer and proud Brooklyn native.

Bwog Decrees: It shall be known as of two hours and fifty-nine minutes post meridiem, on November the ninth, of the year two thousand and fifteen, that Ruggles Hall of Residency at Columbia University In The City Of New York is to no longer be recognized as just the rodent-infested dorm.

We found a desolate, nameless Inorganic Chemistry notebook in 340 Havemeyer today, apparently abandoned by its owner in a fit of rage and/or self-disgust.

Are you tired of hearing CCSC talk about Bacchanal? Us too, though it still stings to have Joe “Monday” Milholland turned away from the discussion on Bacch finances. Still, resolutely, he brings to you all the latest updates on group adjudication (sexy!), Staff Appreciation Week,  the Lenape plaque, and the impossibility (to everyone’s disappointment) of Deantini Martinis.  Closed Bacchanal […]

(CNN) Less sacred than democracy in action: Queens-born Donald Trump took […]

Although Halloween is dead and gone, spooky vibes continue to surround us– especially in Lehman. Barnard’s dying library continually leaves students feeling uncomfortable and nervous. If you’re too scared to go inside and look for yourself, you can check out these photos, provided by brave Bwogger Amara Banks, instead.

Despite it being only early November, and despite many of us feeling as though NSOP was just yesterday, registration for Spring semester has already begun. We hope that by now, most of you are deep into the process of perfecting your upcoming schedule. But if not, fear not. Bwog has been procrastinating just as much […]

Lately, it seems that pot is all anyone in the news can talk about. Ohio Governor and GOP presidential candidate John Kasich appeared on The Late Show on Friday, only to be grilled by Stephen Colbert about his stance on legalizing marijuana (hint: Kasich is against decriminalization). (The Huffington Post) Chuck Rosenberg, Chief of the Drug […]

If you couldn’t tell, we’re obsessed with the November issue of the Blue and White and can’t stop sharing some of the great pieces from this month’s mag. Up next, we bring you a story by Staff Writer Yasemin Akçagüner about two major divestment groups at Columbia. When the University announced in June that it […]

KCST began their run of Lulu last night in the Lerner Black Box Theater. We sent staffer Megan Fillion to check out the show and bring us some notes. Another show will take place tonight at 8 PM. All tickets are sold out, but a waiting list will begin at 7 PM. If any of you […]
