PeopleHop: Mitch Swenson

By Bwog Staff on Nov 24, 2013 22 Comments

Last week, Bwog sat down with Mitch Swenson, a General Studies student who recently traveled to Syria as a war reporter. So, sneaking into Syria to report on the war: how do you do that? How does one get started? Originally, I contacted two journalists that were working for an outfit called War Is Boring, […]

Man in the Mirrorchesis: Trying to Push Boundaries

By Bwog Staff on Nov 24, 2013 15 Comments

Some of your classmates are insanely talented at channeling their inner Michael Jacksons. The multidimensionally modern Madysen Luebke checked out this fall’s Orchesis production. Man in the Mirrorchesis was not this Bwogger’s first time seeing this dance group’s show. Their performances have always been entertaining for dancers and non-dancers alike. However, this semester did not stick […]

On Wellness, Semantics, Transparency, and Other Buzzwords

By Bwog Staff on Nov 23, 2013 49 Comments

Bwog Editor Alexandra Svokos is tired of hearing the word “wellness.” This past Sunday, the Student Wellness Project hosted their second Wellness Summit from 1-4 pm in the Diana. I left this summit far more stressed than I had been before I walked in. I was agitated following the discussions, having been pounded with a […]

Dance Marathon Going Strong 5 Hours In

By Bwog Staff on Nov 23, 2013 3 Comments

Five and a half hours into the CUDM for pediatric AIDS prevention and things seem to be going swimmingly. Bwog popped in and spotted a number of things: lots of falafel and Havana empañadas, Venom and Onyx performing, and, most importantly, Danza Kuduro blaring through the speakers.

In Defense Of: 209

By Bwog Staff on Nov 23, 2013 1 Comments

In our somewhat-regular feature In Defense Of, we bring much-needed support to the most maligned Columbia (or life) institutions.

According to established wisdom, it was […]

By Bwog Staff on Nov 23, 2013 11 Comments

So everyone and their mother has seen the front page of the New York Times. Our very own f-word team has lost its way to infamy and now Bwog has to do some tricky grammatical gymnastics to report on it.* Sigh. *Just to be clear, this is not a post about That Which Shall Not Be […]
