Every year Ecoreps organizes Give and Go Green in the Spring and Green Sales in the Fall (you dump your old stuff; they store it and sell it). This year, as always, Ecoreps gives you the opportunity to apply to one of or both of these events, but also to be part of GREEN NSOP […]
Beasts: Twenty-four year old Dianne Hanson was killed Wednesday by a 550 pound lion at a private California zoo. (CBS News) Bans: If Microsoft wins its lawsuit in Germany, Google Maps and other Google apps could face a ban come June. (CNet) The European Union proposed this week a “ban on all forms of pornography […]
It’s almost the end of the third quarter (we know Columbia doesn’t measure the year in quarters, but Bwog does so get over it) and whether you’re nearing the end of your time here or just realizing how close you are to getting ¼ of a college education under your belt, nostalgia abounds. Maybe it’s […]
A tipster sent us this photo of progressive house DJ 3LAU‘s spring touring schedule. It’s also posted on his official Facebook page. Look at April 18th: “New York, NY Columbia University” It’s not clear exactly why he’ll be playing here, though. The weeklong Columbia Music Festival, announced last month, was scheduled to run from April […]
The following brought to you by a sleepless, cold, and confused victim of dorm room facilities. Picture this scenario: it’s 3:40 am, and you’re lying in bed trying to fall asleep and subsequently wake up for your 8:40 class tomorrow. You’ve managed to drown out the drunk seniors outside Havana, your roommate’s incoherent mumbling, and […]

You should read the full issue either by (1) picking it up on campus or (2) letting your fingers do the walking, and logging on to theblueandwhite.org. I like to have the blinds […]
By now you’ve probably heard about Columbia’s issues with Nutella. As campus comes to terms with the fact that we’re all apparently hoarders, the Nutella story continues to grow. Our chocolatey addiction and its exorbitant cost has received a surprising amount of attention, causing us at Bwog to wonder: how much of this is really […]
Midterms getting you down? Think back — when was the last time you left Butler had a good meal? The last time you saw daylight ate food that wasn’t prepackaged? The last time you heard laughter had a *gasp* vegetable? If you can’t remember the answer to that question, it might be time to go […]
Kate Middleton is having a… dingo? A dachshund? A dinosaur? Recent developments suggest that it might be any one of those three. (E! News) Folks, you can rest easy tonight. Turns out that Miley Cyrus’ wedding is still on. (Newsday) Columbia earns a reputation for hoarding, proving once again that the New York Times only […]
Because Bwog has been excluded from Bacchanal coverage, Bacchanal has released a statement only to Spec. It doesn’t really say much, unless you read between the lines. When Bacchanal says they’re “looking forward to announcing this year’s lineup, and nothing has changed in that regard,” the implication is pretty clear: what has changed is that Macklemore […]
