In the February issue of The Blue and White, Torsten Odland and Matthew Schantz tangle over whether you should, well, open the blinds. 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.

Bwog received an anonymous tip from an RA outlining the current procedure for investigating marijuana incidents: If an RA detects the smell of weed, or someone reports the smell to an RA, they call in another RA to confirm. Once two RAs have confirmed the smell, they will knock on the door in question If […]

Two people turned from innocent studiers to victims of laptop theft between 2:00 and 2:30 this afternoon, warns Public Safety. The thief, using a pair of crutches, first struck the 4th floor of SIPA, and then Avery. A tipster informs us that the man was deliberately “acting all sick/about to faint and sat on the […]
Judith Butler’s keynote address at tomorrow’s “Thinking Feminism” conference has been moved from the Faculty House after student activists raised concerns. Butler explains that she was contacted by students supporting the Faculty House workers. The students brought up issues to Butler about the event and she suggested they reach out to the event organizers directly. After […]
CC junior Danny Murcia—or as he’s credited on Pitbull’s track “Outta Nowhere,” Danny Mercer—signed with Columbia Records and has worked with the likes of Will.i.am, Nicole Scherzinger, Dr. Luke, and of course, Mr.305. An English major, founding member of the campus a cappella group Sharp, and one degree of separation from Beyoncé, the Renaissance Man […]
We know you’d rather be sipping margaritas on a sunny beach in the sand. But you’re not. You’ve still got over a week to go until spring break (but day-drinking could be fun). Lucky for you, Bwog’s Arts Editor Kyra Bloom made this list of arts-related events that will ease the pain of midterm season. […]
Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, has died of cancer. Will Dennis Rodman attend the funeral? (CNN) Batman’s gained a few pounds, but he’s not in some Italian café—he’s fighting crime in England.
