Some bitter soul tucked this foreboding fortune into the blueprint of the Barnard pool. To them, we ask, “who really needs a pool when the tunnels around Hewitt always smell like one anyway?” RIP pool
The New York Criminal Course formally dismissed the case of Chad Washington, CC’15 and a Columbia football player, yesterday. Washington was charged with a hate crime after his alleged assault of an Asian classmate in May 2013, right before the football team received attention for tweets containing racial and homophobic slurs. Washington’s required 10 days of community service were […]
A comment on female hysteria? Hear from the artists themselves. (HuffPost Live) He probably just wanted to give the First Lady a hug. Because unfortunately, President Obama is out of town. (NY Daily News) The fencing team’s 82-year-old coach is basically “Yoda.” (NY Times) We started the Olympics off in our usual dominant fashion. U-S-A! […]
Get ready to fall in love, Columbia. We’re kicking off this year’s batch of Personals with a double-hitter: SB. If you want to take this awesome human on a date, email personals@bwog.com and we’ll set it up (furnished by ten whole dollars). If you don’t, we still think you deserve a shot at love. Fill […]
Last night, Deantini held a reception for recipients and donors of named scholarships. One of the speakers was longtime donor Daniel Loeb ’83, the founder and CEO of an “event-driven, value-oriented” hedge fund headquartered in New York. And apparently he held some intensely fiscally conservative views. All of our staff who were invited had, um, […]
As you may have heard recently, the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art, for those with too much work to know) recently partnered with Columbia’s own Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library to acquire many of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s collections, manuscripts, and designs. Avery and MoMA decided to become friends and team up to […]
Announcements from Barnard and Columbia Public Safety confirm that yesterday at 2:10 pm, two students were robbed at gunpoint by an unknown male in Morningside Park. In broad daylight, people, midafternoon, almost tea time. Morningside Park may look like a pretty park full of adorable cats, but apparently it’s also a hotbed of crime. No […]
Last fall, students were given the opportunity to submit their artwork for selection to CSArts, a new initiative from the CSA featuring the artistic talents of our peers. The exhibition goes on display today on the walls of the CSA in Lerner, hopefully brightening up your visit to your advisor to discuss why you registered […]
Here are the new numbers that your parents can forward you from their more politically active friends reminding you why you’re getting that economics degree instead of a BA in Francophone studies like you’ve always dreamed. Well there’s always grad school when you’re 40 right? (LA Times) In case you weren’t already feeling lazy at […]
As you make your way through the snow and slush that have recently taken over our campus, consider taking shelter inside one of Columbia’s most… interesting buildings: The Seeley W. Mudd Building, home of Columbia engineering. It was built in 1966, as a celebration of Satan’s 1300th anniversary. Go ahead, make your way there—you’ll find […]
Bwog’s lifeblood is institutional memory. Britt Fossum delved into the archives of the RBML just in time for #tbt. This week’s edition just kind of happened by accident. One of the boxes of historical photographs of Columbia in the rare books and manuscript library is labelled simply Columbia: Traditions. Within this box were pictures of […]
Instead of having its normal meeting this past Monday, SGA held an open forum for students to come and speak surrounding the issues of sexual assault and gender-based misconduct on campus. Bwogger Lauren Beltrone dutifully reports. At SGA’s last meeting, CU Dems presented a petition to make changes to the current sexual assault and gender-based […]
