For a take or two on what the kids are saying these days about the American career woman and Marissa Mayer, both timely subjects in the wake of the release of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg’s new book on female leadership, CNN came to the obvious place to talk to the world’s next generation of powerful women: […]
It’s midterm season, so here’s some textbook wisdom to help you relax. Breathe in as you follow in the trails of software engineer textbook writers, Chinese Communist Party officials, or even English post-punk bands, and a computer science book explains to you the drawbacks of judging groups by their population. And an Astronomy textbook, which […]
Lonesome George was the world’s last Pinta Island tortoise; he died last year, and now he’s with us in New York to be embalmed. Weird, we thought 9 months was kinda too late. (France 24) After a new papal conclave began yesterday, the Vatican also finally revealed the recipes for the smoke used to announce […]
Answer us this: who really wants to pay $40 for a new Ving card? Particularly when they get lost around once a week. Bwog’s more crafty staff members, Alexandra Avvocato and Claire Friedman, have a bit of experience in counterfeiting room keys: perhaps less glamorous than making fake IDs, but also probably less illegal.

Ta-Nehisi Coates is a senior editor at The Atlantic. The New York Observer has called him “the single best writer on the subject of race in the United States.” (Coates disagrees.) He has been asked to be a permanent columnist for the New York Times. And he hangs out in some of the same places […]
Tonight from 8-10 pm in 414 Pupin, you can snag some free pizza at CU Amnesty International’s panel: Students vs. Teachers: the Right Paradigm for Education Reform? A panel discussion featuring Professor Jeffrey Henig of Teachers’ College, Wayne Wilson of Students for Education Reform, Alexander Donovan of Teach for America, and Mike Rady of Columbia’s […]
The time has come: to commit, to declare, to promise, to pronounce, to scream from the rooftops — or to just do on your phone during lecture. Regardless of how much pomp and circumstance you attach to it, if you’re a CC sophomore, you should probably declare your major, concentration, or triple-major-double-concentration-combo at some point […]
In the course of Not Doing Work, Bwog totally forgot about our I-Banking interviews and midterms when we saw our GBFF had instagrammed an iPhone screenshot we’d all been waiting for: Columbia University has had the inestimable honor of being profiled by Betches Love This. The article is pretty tame by Bwog-comment standards. The most […]
I lost my iPod Touch sometime yesterday (3/11) either at SIPA, along Amsterdam, or Brad’s. It has a subway map for a case. It is being dearly missed and has great sentimental value! Finder will be rewarded. Please email me at rthek92@gmail.com if you have any info or would like to return it!
As spring break approaches, SGA met last night to discuss gender inclusive bathrooms on Barnard’s campus. Bwog sent towel-equipped Maddie Ball (in honor of Douglas Adam’s birthday) to get the details. This week, SGA was joined by Maddy Popkin of Q, Barnard’s premier and only LGBTQA club. The topic of discussion? Bathrooms. Before you wrinkle […]
Despite what his tour poster says, 3LAU will not be playing at Columbia on April 18th. According to a Pi Delta Psi member at last night’s Inter-Greek Council meeting, there had been an issue getting administrator approval for 3LAU to play at a Greek house. Instead, his concert, hosted by Pi Delta Psi, will be […]
