By Bwog Staff on Jan 24, 2014 13 Comments

Every year, Student Affairs gives the King’s Crown Leadership Awards, which recognize CC and SEAS students for “outstanding leadership to their community/ies with exemplary commitment and energy”—or, as WikiCU puts it, students who “did a good job running a student group or did the administration’s bidding.” King’s Crown awards start with a nomination: although only […]

What the Flip are Honorary Degrees?

By Bwog Staff on Jan 24, 2014 1 Comments

What do Maurice Sendak, the Dalai Lama, Tim Berners-Lee, Georgia O’Keefe, and PrezBo have in common? Well, aside from being some of Bwog’s favorite people ever for completely varied reasons, they also share something in common: honorary degrees from Columbia. According to the website, this is the “highest honor that the University can bestow on […]

Overheard: Family Affairs

By Bwog Staff on Jan 24, 2014 2 Comments

A tipster on College Walk overheard this intriguing tidbit: “No way! So, your uncle makes murder porn!?” Bwog has two questions. First, what the fuck is murder porn (please DON’T answer that in the comments), and second, why would you let your niece/nephew know that? Sexy murderer via Shutterstock

Overseen: Slick College Grad Themed Photo Shoot

By Bwog Staff on Jan 24, 2014 3 Comments

Tipsters report that “some dude in a suit being filmed as he leans nonchalantly by the banister to some awful europop being blasted on speakers” and there’s some “weird pole dancing going on.” Bwog investigated and found a photo shoot for a “big fashion magazine,” according to the photographer, happening in front of Low’s scenic […]

FYI Our Mascot Was Almost a Goat

By Bwog Staff on Jan 23, 2014 2 Comments

In 1910, Columbia chose the lion as its official mascot. While you might be nodding along with that decision (and why not? Lions are pretty badass), we invite you to consider one word before solidifying your opinion: Matilda. And if you need a second word: goat. Matilda was a goat who lived with squatter Patrick […]

Please Drop This Class

By Bwog Staff on Jan 23, 2014 7 Comments

Registration has never been particularly kind to the Creative Writing Department. Students apply for workshops right before the semester starts and have to get an Add/Drop form signed and brought to Kent, conveniently right downstairs from CW classes! the CSA. It’s not uncommon to hear complaints of a $15 “late registration” fee charged on top of tuition […]

A Conversation With BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith

By Bwog Staff on Jan 23, 2014 5 Comments

Bwog loves BuzzFeed. We couldn’t make it through recitations and reading week without 27 Cats in Santa Hats Playing the Piano or 44 Ways Being A Twenty-Something Is The Greatest. We do enough reading already, dammit, and we just want to look at gifs. Naturally we were very excited when we heard the the Columbia […]

Candidate Mixer for CCSC and ESC Spring Elections

By Bwog Staff on Jan 23, 2014 0 Comments

Vote or die, according to the Columbia Elections Board. They are hosting a candidate mixer with free pizza this Thursday for students interested in running for CCSC and ESC in the spring. Maybe this year won’t be quite as uncontested as the last, though we’re not especially hopeful. According to their Facebook event: Spring elections aren’t until late March, but we encourage […]

Bwoglines: Earth-Shattering Edition

By Bwog Staff on Jan 23, 2014 1 Comments

Just yesterday, Obama spoke out about the college sexual assault epidemic and presented a White House report detailing how “1 in 5 female students assaulted while only 1 in 8 student victims report it,” now initiating a “task force” to work on this issue.

Opening Remarks

By Bwog Staff on Jan 22, 2014 7 Comments

Classes begin once again, and the first class is always the time that professors try to woo you with humor and niceness before they push you into Butler for many a busy night. But hey, that doesn’t need to spoil the humor. We think some of these professors could just as well be on Comedy […]
