No one at Columbia is a stranger to space shortages. Whether it’s a seat in the Butler reference room or a space for an event you filed seventeen forms with CUEM to book, sharing facilities with thousands of other people is rough. That said, some things are sacred—and by “some things,” we mean “your and […]
A couple nights ago, Cornel West paid a visit to our fine campus. In attendance (along with what seemed like half of the entire Columbia population) was Bwog’s Resident Lecture Lover, Eric Wimer. The fire code was almost certainly being broken by the crowd packed into Northwest corner 501, all there to see Cornel West. […]

Remember when we wrote a light-hearted and clearly speculative post about some rumors to get pumped up about Bacchanal? Apparently Bacchanal didn’t find it as much fun.

Last spring, Bwog posted about matching people’s bookshelves to their personalities/”super intensive literary questions.” Now, Shelf Lives is pulling a New Testament and is being resurrected with the help of Amazing Artist Angel Jiang, who has faithfully depicted the bookshelves of Columbia students. Submit a picture of yours or a friend’s to tips@bwog.com.
The world’s a scary place, and sometimes people steal your wallet. This happened on Sunday at the East Asian Library in Kent to a female student. Public Safety wrote in a statement that the man in this picture used her credit card at two stores in the area. The full email is below. Keep your […]
Clubhopper Zachary Hendrickson sits in on a new Columbia organization and reports back to Bwog. Men of Color alliance meets every Wednesday at 7:30—aka in an hour. Read and, if interested, head over! Full-disclosure: I self-identify as a man of color. That said, I don’t always understand what it means for me to be a […]
In the media coverage still focusing on Monday’s Froscanity, cartoonists at the New York Daily News are now depicting their version of the episode. We think cartoon Dr. Hughes looks pretty good in the nude, but he’s not wearing a g-string for us to tuck our $45,000 checks into. Cartoon from the New York Daily News
The Morningside Post is SIPA’s “premier [only?] student-run news and opinion site.” Jay Pinho is TMN’s opinion editor. And two days ago, he sure had an opinion. He began: This past December, with final exams looming, many SIPA students descended into Lehman Library only to stumble upon the only thing even more frightening than the prospect […]
