Despite controversy surrounding Russia’s gay propaganda laws, the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics started off with a bang last night. The opening ceremony oscillated between creepy, glitchy, and magnificent. Bwog wants to share our favorite parts of the show with you: The light-up Olympic rings fiasco, which became a t-shirt the instant it happened. How did the designer […]

Overseen: Dark Fortune

By Bwog Staff on Feb 08, 2014 1 Comments

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

By Bwog Staff on Feb 08, 2014 1 Comments

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! […]

Named Scholarship Reception Speaker Makes Surprisingly Ungenerous Remarks

By Bwog Staff on Feb 07, 2014 21 Comments

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, […]

By Bwog Staff on Feb 07, 2014 7 Comments

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.

By Bwog Staff on Feb 07, 2014 0 Comments

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.
