After receiving an intriguing tip, Bwog sent pie-enthusiast Tatini Mal-Sarkar (and a few pie-lovin’ companions) on a mission to find out about Columbia’s newest delivery service. Delivery in New York is rarely disappointing, at the very least with variety if not quality. But until now, one particular corner of the market has not been addressed: […]

Bwog sent two of its artistically inclined  daily editors to check out the scene at Morningside Lights, a community arts festival. Check out their stunning lantern interpretation of the broadway sheep, and their experiences with additive light! Bwog ventured into the land of the artistic on Friday in celebration of the Morningside Lights Festival. Upon walking into […]

Afropolitan, The African Students’ Association showcase of culture was a party and a half last night! Culture fiend Hannah Kramer was sent to check it out. The African Students Association’s Afropolitan 2014 event started the way that every Columbia event should start: with food. And most importantly, good food. We waited through the long line, […]

Bwog meets every week in the SGO and has recently noticed that one of the closet doors has been re-labeled as the CUSFS library. We sent Britt Fossum, recovering LARPer and a firm believer in extraterrestrial life, to go check it out (and maybe check out some books). She walked out feeling like this. For […]

Goldberg, President Bollinger’s recently appointed Special Advisor on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, posted an update on Columbia’s sexual respect website. Goldberg begins by calling Columbia’s new Gender-Based Misconduct Policy “one of the […]

This past week, leaders from around the world gathered on campus at The World Leader’s Forum. From Tunisia to Sweden, world leaders opened a forum for discussion on a range of topics relevant across countries. Global guru Henry Litwhiler relays his experience at one of the forums below.

Anyone who visits Tea Magic will notice these two weird signs on the counter, alarming and urgent in the way zoo signs can say, “DO NOT feed the lions!!” The signs have been there for a while. So what exactly happens if you do speak to the tea specialist…? We asked three different Tea Magic […]

Many students have finally cozied into their new homes in the dorms, beginning to realize that they love or hate the decision they spent months making last spring. Big Plimpin resident Courtney Couillard defends the choice of living in dorms farther from the main campus. Living away from campus in either off-campus housing or some […]

Big Lots has taken product review to the next level. In their ad, they have created a “Pet Focus Group” to better determine the quality of their products. Needless to say, there was a slight loss of communication. (Adweek) The Staten Island Zoo attempted to coverup the death of groundhog Staten Island Chuck after he […]

On Tuesday night, a group of brave bwoggers ventured where no CU student had gone before: the recently opened Beer Hall, Bernheim & Schwartz. Warning: choices not suitable for a Tuesday were made.  Bernheim & Schwartz (aka the place where Havana Central used to be) doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. However, the possibilities for “Weekend […]
