Stuck in the doldrums? Dreary days can do that to you, but music, dance, and art are sure to have you grinning. Giggling guide Kyra Bloom, also Bwog’s Arts Editor, compiled this list of arts-related events to cheer you up in no time. Submit arts events you know of to events@bwog.com. On Campus: The MaMa Project, […]
As students of Columbia University, the admissions office selected us for our passion, our talents, our intellect, and our literacy. A tipster overheard the same conclusion being made outside of Butler. “Do you know how hard college would be if you couldn’t read? I know that sounds obvious, but just think about it. A teacher […]
A study in JAMA challenges the notion that breast cancer occurs predominantly in older women. (NY Times) Beer drinkers have high standards, so they sue when Anheuser-Busch waters its brew down. Just grab another? (Marketwatch) Fans of the pope tested the capacity of St. Peter’s Square for his final general audience address. (LA Times) Just […]
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. We interviewed the Columbia Center for New Media and Teaching and Learning’s Dan Beeby to learn the what, how and why of New Courseworks. Bwog: What does New Courseworks have that Old Courseworks didn’t? Why did you […]
February is a deceptively short month, and it will be over in two days. This means that if you have been meaning to go to a meeting of The Blue and White in the month of February (you know who you are), this is your last chance. So come! 9 pm. St. Paul’s Chapel. You […]
Barnard students received another curiously worded security alert today about a concerning interaction between a student and a potentially dangerous male who “approached her in the vicinity of Milbank hall, as she was walking towards Barnard Hall, and engaged her in conversation” until he “became agitated” and threatened her. 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 […]
