Joined by Jared Odessky of CCSC, SGA met once again last night to discuss campus’ newest fad, WTF Columbia. As per usual, Maddie Ball was there, braving the New York Hoth winds of to get the details. Though only eight days old, pretty much everyone has heard of the newest website to take campus by […]
Speak Memory is by four recipients of the Blueprint Fellowship, and is loosely tied together by common themes of Russian-Jewish immigrant identity, artists’ ties to the historic past, and the connection to our heritage that we feel in everyday life. The exhibit is a little confusing, but quite worth the 10 second trip to the […]
And Lena Dunham’s getting a medal–but not giving a speech. Barnard has just announced that their 2013 commencement speaker will be Leymah Gbowee, a Liberian peace activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011. In the words of DSpar: Ms. Gbowee’s leadership helped galvanize an entire nation’s women to stand together against violence and end […]
A tipster overheard this charming conversation at a party this weekend: Bro 1 : I can bite a bra off! For real! I’m just like *RRRRR*! Bro 2: I’m working on just the flick and drop. One swift motion! Bro 3: Fuck yeah! Swoon. Congratulation squad via Shutterstock
Tehran has deployed sniper squads to take out its huge population of cat-sized rats. That’s one way to do it.

Found a pair of Warby Parker eyeglasses on a table in JJ’s place next to a copy of the Eye open to the St. A’s article, if that means anything. Email me at dkl2113@columbia.edu to get them back.
Ever wonder what goes on in the weekly mysterious CCSC meetings? Wonder no more, because we sent Maren Killackey on a magical mission to find out for you. Here’s a report: Because it’s not adult life if your parents still pay for your Blackberry… Dean of CCE Kavita Sharma along with Niamh O’Brien, CCE Undergraduate […]
As per tradition, every week we at Bwog leave our meeting at the SGO every Sunday and go straight to Butler. You’d think we’d be studying, but we’re just annoying everyone who is. This week, we covered the issue that is(n’t) on everyone’s mind: housing. We asked, “Housing selection starts in 3 days. How do […]
It seems that nowadays, nobody is safe from persecution. Gender, race, weight, and economic groups of all kinds are judged and grouped together as inferior. Now, Bwog has overheard that another group is also being oppressed: “All men in headphones look the same? Did you just say that? That’s like…racist.” Men in headphones have to […]
Today marked the final Frontiers of Science lecture featuring Emlyn Hughes. Last week, Hughes foreshadowed that everything would be explained today; thankfully, since the brouhaha about his first lecture mostly died down, there was no added security today. Adele’s “Skyfall” began the lecture, followed by a video of a girl changing and putting on makeup; […]
