A statement sent out by Columbia cleared up some of the details of the USenate smoking ban talked about at the last meeting, stating that the smoking areas seen on the map will go into effect on July 1. Notably, one of the areas is in front of Butler, so studiers stepping outside for a breath […]

Butler is a prime example of the Hobbesian state of nature, as any CC student is sure to have realized by now. However, Bwog doesn’t think this means we have to be assholes to each other; despite the complete lack of accountability, we are more civilized than that. Some unwritten rules exist in Butler. We decided to […]

Just in time for the last week, Bwog is putting out another challenge to you all you photoshop-skilled procrastinators out there because of the amazing products of the Gulati photoshop contest. This time, DSpar is getting the photoshop treatment. We have chosen a professional, versatile, and still slightly intimidating photograph of Barnard’s great president. Bonus […]

Just in case you tried to get to sleep early last night, the screaming and caterwauling coming from everywhere in Morningside Heights that woke you up at 12 AM was the Primal Scream, the traditional Sunday before finals venting of stress. Bwog took some videos so everyone can relive the catharsis. Footage from outside Butler […]

The weekend is gone and you probably didn’t get anything done. That’s okay. Now it’s time to buckle down and get this over with. Just remember: it’s the last Monday of the semester! You can do it! Bwog believes in you! Bwogline: Austria’s Conchita Wurst won the Eurovision Song Contest yesterday. And now you’re going […]

Almost 100 faculty members have signed a letter calling for Columbia University to improve its sexual assault policies.

“Bwog, what’s happening?” “Bwog, I think someone is getting murdered outside my window?” “Bwog, someone in Butler is SCREAMING!!!!” These are all tips we will probably get tonight. Why? Primal Scream is tonight at midnight. For about 5 minutes, things are going to get loud. And primal. Because tomorrow is Monday and we all have […]

Bwog’s been spending a lot of time pondering the mysteries of Columbia lately. Baker Belittler Jon Lesser lets us know how great it would be if we had a shiny stadium instead of a smelly business school. In the days of Columbia old, the Morningside community could gather on any given fall Saturday around South […]

Next up for a Senior Wisdom: Sarina Bhandari, who “could have been a guest on MTV’s Catfish.” Name, Hometown, School, Major: Sarina Bhandari, Los Altos Hills, CA, Sociology (which I love) and the Business Concentration (so I can get a job). Claim to fame: To this day no one really knows whether my escape from […]

Ever heard of a sport called softball? Apparently it’s a lot of fun and Columbia has a team. Softball enthusiast Max Rettig talked to softballer Alyssa Rodia about it. Bwog: Explain softball briefly.  Alyssa: Softball is basically baseball, but with a bigger ball and smaller field B: Tell me about the innings rules-baseball always seems to […]

Sunday? It’s Sunday? That means tomorrow is… Monday! AHHHHHHH!!! The best thing you can do right now is stay in bed and pretend this isn’t happening. That’s Bwog’s strategy, anyway. Bwogline: Michael Sam became the first openly gay player to be drafted in the NFL yesterday. If he can play, he can play! (NY Daily […]

While Bwog is generally not about the op-ed lifestyle, sometimes we’re tipped articles that we think are important to talk about. The following was sent to us by CC first years Miles Hilton, Lara Tang, and a third writer who wished to remain anonymous. This piece does not reflect the opinions of Bwog or its […]

David Speer set the tone […]
