GSSC deals with a lot of issues during the year, including food insecurity, funding proposals, and student entertainment. But if the heart of GSSC doesn’t function, everything grinds to a halt. That’s why Bureau Chief Joe Milholland is covering GSSC’s plans to get a new projector, as well as other, less immediate, matters discussed this week. […]

Shia LaBeouf, everybody’s favourite actor, performance artist, and cannibal, is indulging New York with his new performance art piece titled #ALLMYMOVIES. He’s currently watching all his movies in reverse chronological order at the Angelika Film Center and you can join him. For free. (Decider) The fourth Republican debate appeared last night on Fox News, with the network co-moderating […]

Barnard College’s plethora of unique traditions (who else stuffed themselves to the gills at Big Sub, be honest) are always something to look forward to. Even though the college is undergoing some huge changes right now (RIP BarnLib) and some less-huge changes (the Magnolia is only moving a 10-second walk away, you can relax), its […]

Update 11/16: Around 4:50 this afternoon, NBC News posted an article titled “An American Missing in Paris? Family Searching for Austin Taylor,” detailing all that is known about the missing GS student. Last Tuesday, the NYPD detective in charge of Taylor’s missing persons case determined that his passport had been scanned in the French capital, leading his family to call […]

This weekend I avoided homework, frat parties, and sporting events, and participated in a revelatory experience: the Intergroup Community Building Initiative (ICBI), hosted by Barnard Student Life and Columbia University Office of Multicultural Affairs. The goal of the conference was to “build real connections across different identity communities, make new friendships, and become engaged in […]

There were several students at the SGA meeting last night looking to have their voices heard, far more than I have ever seen at SGA before (usually it’s just Spec and me….). The floor opened with several students voicing their concerns about Barnard students’ new ineligibility for the pre-NSOP CUE initiative. The students wondered how all four […]

We know it’s hard to imagine ever traveling outside of the loving womb that is the Morningside Heights neighborhood, but the rewards for taking a little trip to Brooklyn can be VERY worth it… you could, for instance, discover a three-eyed catfish living in the Gowanus Canal. Or, you know, you could just have some […]

As the year wears on, you are beginning to eschew your veneer of respectability—you are really letting your true colors shine, and sometimes that means revealing you are a gross, weird, clumsy, or totally unsympathetic person. 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. He has been awarded two Guggenheim Fellowships and his work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and the International Center of […]

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. We know midterms and finals are killing you, but don’t take it out on your notebook! Pick it up by emailing us at tips@bwog.com, and we will probably get back to you. As […]

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 […]

The citizens of Myanmar voted yesterday in what has been called the freest election in the country in a quarter-century. Many see this as a chance for Nobel laureate Suu Kyi Aung San Suu Kyi’s party to gain seats and play a bigger role in governing. (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.
