There is rarely any consolation prize for getting the middle seat on a plane—but, as staff writer Naomi Sharp found on a recent Spirit Airlines flight, sitting next to and meeting Jimmy Failla was one of them. “Maybe we all forgot to pay the extra fee for departure,” he reasoned good-naturedly, as passengers on the […]
What better way to celebrate this gorgeous Saturday, April the 20th, than by watching a film with your fellow students? One of Bacchanal’s slightly less well-known events — the annual 4/20 movie screening — is happening tonight, and the entertainment of choice is, appropriately, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Bacchanal’s advertising some free popcorn and fruit, so […]
SENIORS: (and friends of seniors.) It’s time for one of our greatest traditions to return: we’re starting our call for Senior Wisdoms. For freshpersons/transfers/people who don’t like one of the greatest things ever, Senior Wisdom is our annual features where we ask outgoing seniors to share the knowledge and advice they’ve culled from Columbia over the past […]
On Thursday night, members of the Columbia/Barnard community gathered at the Barnard gates to participate in Take Back the Night, an annual demonstration against sexual violence. Zachary Hendrickson was humbled to march along as an ally. “With rage we march, and with strength we speak.” This year’s rally started off a little later than intended, […]
Two men in fancy suits walk into Lerner. One man passes through the turnstiles with ease. The other is left stuck on the side of the public – the side of the plebians. This will not do. Stuck man to desk: “Can’t I go through!? I’m not an alumni here, but I DID go to Harvard.” […]

This weekend’s Days On Campus (damn you SEAS for getting the real weekend nights) coincides perfectly with 4/20, some actually slightly spring weather (maybe…) and generally the last weekend before finals start to kick in. What does that mean? That you should be showing your prospie an excellent time, *not* making them sleep on your […]
PrezBo has just released a statement on the lifting of the lockdown in Boston, with no mention of the lack of alert last night. Boston is in Bwog’s thoughts, especially as an apparent standoff is currently going on, and we hope that everybody with friends and family remains safe and sound. CPS and Public Safety […]
Last night the Barnard Annual Gala raised 2.2 million dollars for financial aid. Bwog sent Diligent Debutante Maud Rozee to find out how that was even possible. The Plaza Hotel is possibly the fanciest venue in New York City, and last night it was filled with impeccably dressed, mostly old, white and incredibly rich Barnard […]
Today if you are on Low Plaza at 5:40, you can see two things: a horse, and Deantini, who will then proceed to make out. Deantini lost won the “Kiss the Horse” competition sponsored by Camp Kesem, which provides a free summer camp for children whose parents have been affected by cancer. There is absolutely […]
You may never have been to Dodge, but the Boston Celtics have. Currently they are shooting hoops in Levien Gymnasium, getting ready for their upcoming playoff game against the Knicks tomorrow afternoon. Gratuitously matte photo below.
Ah, spring. It’s a transformative time for Columbia students. While normally we avoid nature like the plague, now we have the overwhelming urge to roll around in the grass and take day trips to Long Island. Instead of the usual tones of dubstep floating across Low steps, we hear people playing The Beach Boys. Everything […]
