And now we introduce you to the Columbia Bartending Agency. Here we have Managing Director Talia Savitskaya, Operations Manager Ethan Fudge, and Agency Manager Tom Reidy. Bwog: CBA is basically completely student run, yes? Talia: It’s run by the Center for Career Education. They do it to provide jobs for the students–students run it and […]

At Bwog, we like to stretch the limits of our right to free speech on a daily basis. So why aren’t more college students using their right to vote? […]
Dear Bwog, I noticed that there are a bunch of nice-looking “Bike Share” bikes parked in front of Lerner. How do I get one? Sincerely, Bikeless@Butler Dear curious bikeless biker, 2013 seems to be the year of the bike share, with new programs cropping up here in New York City and in San […]
Apologies for the delay; Bwog’s hungover. World leaders continue to debate taking action in Syria because, well quite frankly. (NYTimes, The Onion) JPMorgan has decided to stop making student loans.

Last week, rumors abounded that the East Asian Library was implementing a major policy change. Our Columbia-trained reactive minds got irrationally angry and readied our protest signs, assuming it was similar to the one implemented in Uris during finals last year–no undergraduates allowed. However, a short email exchange with the director of the East Asian […]
The first week of classes is officially over! And your professors have made some stand-out, hilarious, and in some cases genuinely frightening comments.

While you were away eating home-cooked meals, JJ got some serious work done, and is now hella shiny and renovated. Those new plates! Those shiny woody/laquered surfaces!! Those gleaming floors!!!
