College Walk Archetypes: Chain-Smoking Intellectual

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2013 12 Comments

Remember the glory of Butler Archetypes? We missed them on Bwog so we’re bringing them back with an eye for College Walk (and being incredibly liberal in our definition of “College Walk” such that it basically constitutes anything between Butler and Low). First up, we asked Features Editor Alexander Pines to give us the chain-smoking […]

An Orgo Virgin Walks Into 209…

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2013 24 Comments

At the last Bwog meeting, we asked who wanted to review Orgo Night. Elizabeth Self asked “What’s Orgo Night?”  We responded, “Don’t worry about it just show up to Butler 209 at 11:30 pm.” So for you this semester we have two accounts of Orgo Night: from an Orgo virgin and a more, uh, experienced […]

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2013 2 Comments

Sophomores have a year of college under their collective belts already but that doesn’t mean they are suddenly wise. They just screw up in slightly more sophisticated and shameful ways than freshman year. Maybe it’s a learning experience? Or maybe sophomore year is just a little bit miserable. Bwog is rooting for you. The Slump […]

Actual Quote: “I sat on Lee Bollinger’s bed and was watching football on TV.”

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2013 12 Comments

Before Bollinger was president of Columbia, he was president of Michigan. And despite the way he left—setting off a not-minor kerfluffle at UMich by leaving right after averring that he had no intention to leave—PrezBo left his mark on UMich. See, at right, PrezBo at a house party he hosted after a huge UMich football […]

The Puppies are Coming, The Puppies are Coming!

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2013 11 Comments

Yes, there is a thing called the Puppy Coalition. And yes, they are coming to a freshman dorm near you! From 1:45pm-3:30pm there will be puppies in the John Jay and Furnald lounges. In addition there will be “crazy holiday crafts,” and something described as “back rubs” from a masseuse team called “Stressbusters” in John Jay. […]

After hearing about toddler frat Sigma Alpha Epsilon having their recognition withdrawn, Bwog’s Sarah Faith Thompson sat down with two former senior brothers.

Actual Wisdom: Roger Anderson

By Bwog Staff on Dec 13, 2013 4 Comments

True wisdom comes when you need it most. Today, Roger Anderson blatantly disregards the 30 words or fewer limit. We’ll forgive him somehow.  Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer: I aim for a life “well lived”, while pushing the frontiers of science and particularly computational learning. And I know I am leaving a legacy […]

We Wouldn’t Touch You With a Ten-Foot Poll

By Bwog Staff on Dec 13, 2013 4 Comments

As you may recall, Bwog has recently been on a journey of self-discovery and institutional memory in which we trawl through Columbia’s history to bring you cool things. Recently, we sat down in the RBML with a huge stack of old yearbooks to find weird memorabilia and embarrassing pictures of Obama. While we kind of […]
