An innocent napper on the 7 train was awakened when a GIANT RAT crawled up his LEG and onto his NECK. All of this was caught on video, because people care more about views on YouTube than maintaining the dignity of a fellow human being. Excuse us while we never go downtown ever again. (PzFeed) […]

Earlier tonight, Bwog was tipped about various members of CCSC, ESC, and GSSC voicing concerns about the Columbia Political Union’s newfound influence over the upcoming student council election process. The Columbia Elections Board (CEB), which was founded in 2013 “to conduct and publicize student council elections on campus,” is currently made up of four students, according to the CCSC […]

Next week, preparations will begin for a new figure to join The Great God Pan and Bellerophon Taming Pegasus as a member of Columbia’s vaguely erotic statue collection.

In this week’s update on the actions of Barnard’s SGA, Student Government Extraordinaire Raji Ganapathy tells us just what SGA got up to. Well, more so that they’re currently discussing the terms of what they want to debate to actually do. In other words, SGA didn’t do much…again. But they did learn some cool stuff! Last night’s SGA meeting featured an appearance […]

Though she was booted from her original seat by a videographer, philosophy-ignorant Nadra Rahman got to attend Viggo Mortensen’s dramatic reading of author and philosopher Albert Camus’s “The Human Crisis,” in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of his trip to the United States. The Miller Theatre event was completely sold out, so you know it had […]

It’s been a little while since Bwog decided to check in on our more mathematically inclined friends at the Engineering Student Council. We’re glad we did, however, as ESC Bureau Chief Finn Klauber reveals the excitement and suspense of a typical ESC meeting. Last night’s ESC meeting delved into some deep discussion on redefining roles within the […]

So just sit back, relax, and embrace Carlton Arms. Location: 362 Riverside Drive Nearby dorms: Carlton is so remote it isn’t […]

Our favourite obtuse dictator from the Hermit Kingdom has been a little riled up. Revitalized military exercises with South Korea, on top of China’s seeming distant posture, has pushed Kim Jong Un into releasing a slew of missiles and propaganda. (BBC) Tragedy struck Pakistan yesterday when a splinter group of the Taliban, Jamat-ul-Ahrar, claimed responsibility […]

We thought we were done. We thought we’d escaped the hellhole of Columbia for a week and returned, ready to face the rest of the semester head-on. But alas, too soon after our arrival, new demons attacked with a vengeance: we’ve got midterms next week. Why, Columbia, is it always midterms? Why? Midterms? What Midterms? Ate […]

While there have been countless questionable Public Safety emails, we were particularly concerned with the misleading note we received last Tuesday regarding the “Active Shooter Awareness Seminar.” Bwog Staffer Nikki Shaner-Bradford  calls out this blatant oversight. Dearest Public Safety, What happened last Tuesday? Your typically thrilling and community building emails took a turn for the sinister. By this, I […]
