This morning the Columbia Democrats were spurred to action by something near and dear to Bwog’s heart – marriage equality. They were out in the cold protesting an event being held on campus titled “Family in Modern Society.” It includes such riveting talks as “What is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense” and “Everything is […]

Overheard a few nights ago on the way to Pupin: “Ya, my pupils get all weird and change sizes. It’s like my ‘tell.'” (A tell for what? Imagine playing poker with this person…) Overheard at Ferris: “You went to sleep and woke up naturally at 7? You know what that’s called? Cocaine.”  (We wonder if there is […]

Headlocks: Congress has defied everyone’s judgments and actually come together on an issue for once. No, not Hagel’s appointment. I’m talking about the good, old fashioned sport we all know and love – wrastlin’! (CNN) Hitler: A large number of paintings that had been stolen from fleeing Jews during WWII are being returned to their rightful owners […]

Valentine’s Day may have passed, but love is still a thing. Tonight’s single guys have written each other’s personals rather than their own (awww), so the third-person answers are not signs of mental instability. Meet Zachary Hendrickson and David Morales-Miranda. Name, Year, School, Major: Zachary Michael Hendrickson, Columbia College ’16, Political Science-Human Rights Preference: Guy […]

The Kingsmen followed their annual tradition yesterday by interrupting classes with song-o-grams.  After sneaking into a class to catch one of their performances, Bwog stalked the group to more serenades, really learning the power of large groups of people in brightly colored jackets.  They explained that friends or members suggest people to serenade and provide […]

This Valentine’s Day, Lerner lit up, featuring all kinds of campus performance groups (dance and music), and something about a bounce house, here reviewed by Josh Dillon.  Having heard about Glass House Rocks for weeks, through upperclassmen and through its Facebook event page, I go to Lerner at 8:00pm not really knowing what to expect. […]

Even though the weather is surprisingly warm today, winter is still here. In that spirit, Star and the Sea (Dominique Star, CC ’13, and her band) have released their first music video, shot by Bernhard Fasenfest, CC ’16, called “Winter in New York.”

The Student Governing Board’s Executive Board, representing approximately 100 campus groups, issued a statement yesterday discouraging the use of the Faculty House until appropriate negotiations with workers have been made. Last week the Student-Worker Solidarity coalition braved the elements to rally for their cause of “economic justice” for local workers, particularly now for Faculty House workers’ living wage, though […]

A taxi hit a FedEx truck outside Lerner on Broadway this afternoon. FDNY appear to be at the scene. There is no information yet regarding the event, but Bwog hopes nobody was hurt.  Update: A witness reports that a student was injured in the crash and taken to St. Luke’s. If you have any other info […]

Are you surrounded by roses and condoms and candy today and itching for some love to go along with it? See if one of our fine young eligibles strikes your fancy on this Valentine’s Day — nothing says “spontaneity” like asking one of them out via personals@bwog.com very late tonight. Meet Christopher Vela and Shelley […]

Bwog firmly believes that being single on Valentine’s Day is only as depressing as you make it (i.e., as depressing as it is for the entire rest of the year). But there’s no reason not to take advantage of the day of love to treat yourself to a good Thursday night of drunkenness. For those […]
