This semester’s production of Passing Strange is a joint effort between BTE (Columbia University’s Black Theatre Ensemble) and CMTS (The Columbia Musical Theatre Society). Never ones to miss a good show, we sent musical-theatre maven Julia Goodman to review. For those interested in seeing the show for themselves, the last performance is tonight at 8pm; […]
You probably thought the admissions cycle was over for the year with the release of decisions way back in March. But students have until May 1 to deposit meaning that high school seniors languishing on the waitlist still don’t know whether they will be a part of the class of 2018. Bwog staff writer Britt […]
We suppose there’s a reason why you don’t regularly hear about people studying in Schermerhorn’s little-known Geology Library. Maybe because it closes about 7 hours before we even start to think of our homework. In any case, some people go there, apparently. And then this happened. If it’s so easy you could do it by accident…Oh, […]
You’re sporty as hell, we know it. You want to release some of your pre-finals megastress with some healthy exercise. You definitely think $10 is a killer deal for a 5K run, t-shirt, water bottle, bag, and post-race refreshments. Whether you happen to be an engineer or a philosophy major, you want to help the […]
Beezin’. Maybe you’ve heard of it. Maybe you’ve tried it. In any case, it’s a harmless and sure way to make your finals more fun. (Gothamist) Most of us know a few sets of twins on campus, but how many know a set of triplets? These triplets are trying to decide between Columbia and Penn…Come on […]
The half-finished commencement bleachers say it all: it’s time for the Class of 2014 to start bidding their fair Columbia adieu. In honor of this year’s graduating class, Bwog is starting our 2014 round of Senior Wisdom. If you have a senior you’re dying to nominate, send their name and why they deserve to share […]
Finals start in two weeks. Are you ready? Probably not. That’s okay, Bwog isn’t either. Do you like to drink? Of course you do. Here’s a fun way how to drink. Make a game out of it, because drinking is only fun if you are drunk. The Name of the Game Assuming your final is […]
Once again, Bwog’s resident porn expert Busty Macmillions returns to the one and only soft-core porn set at Columbia in the sixties. Campus Sex Club is also written by a Columbia grad, Loren Beauchamp, aka Robert Silverberg, who is today a highly successful science fiction writer. Trigger warning for attempted rape as well as the […]
This week, Bwog’s always enthusiastic sports editor Max Rettig interviews Kira Ullman, the captain of the Columbia women’s rugby team, about what it’s like playing one of the most notoriously violent sports around. Bwog: Can you explain rugby? Kira: So it’s similar to football in many ways, but there are a few key differences; you can […]
According to a recent email blast, it was announced that Columbia won’t hire anybody to be new Dean of Undergraduate Student Affairs for Columbia College and SEAS. Instead, Deans Valentini and Boyce opted to restructure the department to provide “the best experience” for undergraduates. After the changes, Community Development and its associated offices will become […]
Takes absolutely forever. By forever, we mean about a month, which still seems like an excessively long time. Facilities seems to only work in the early hours of the morning, and it seems to us that the whole thing could get done in about four or five days of consistent labor, perhaps even sometime after finals. […]
The beloved, nay cherished, Daily Spectator, you may have heard, is most likely transitioning to a largely digital medium, which the Times thinks may have a little something to do with an “insurgent, irreverent website.” (New York Times) Israeli-Palestinian peace talks continue to break down as Israel abandoned the negotiations yesterday after Palestinian leaders announced the […]
