Bwog just received an awful tip on this once-innocent Tuesday evening: a resident of John Jay has had their pet fish stolen. The abducted animal is a dark red beta fish who goes by the name of Fishy. Tipster Chelsea G, who lives on John Jay 6, appealed to Bwog for help in finding her […]
We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue and White by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is sure to delight: the Sisyphean struggle of pulling off Bacchanal; a conversation with The New Republic’s Leon Wieseltier; and a look at what Columbia’s need-aware policy means for international applicants. In this feature, senior […]
After a night of interminable logging back into New Courseworks, Bwog started to wonder how it all started.

Bwog: What does New Courseworks have that Old Courseworks didn’t? Why did you […]

The full email and description of […]
With another short meeting sans administrative guest, SGA met to discuss by-law changes and JCCC funding. As per usual, Maddie Ball was there, too over encumbered to come up with a nerdy reference for today, let alone move. Wait. The very fabric of SGA is changing this semester, as major alterations are in the works […]
According to the 2013 Unigo College rankings, Barnard College has the second happiest students of any school in America, behind only University of Wisconsin-Madison. The fact that this ranking is from the end of August may explain why the Barnard students they interviewed, Ellie and Brittany, didn’t just say “I’m sorry, I can’t talk, I […]

Could New York City become a city state? (The Daily News Online) How did Michelle Obama end up presenting the Oscar for Best Picture? (LA Times) Are bloodless operations the future of surgery?

In anticipation of that award show you read all about on Facebook, Bwog invaded Butler to gather the locals’ guesses for the winner of the grand prize of the night. Here are some of the answers we gathered. Some people (sort of) knew what they were talking about it: Guy near elevator: “Is Tarantino running? […]
