Matthew Renick, GS/JTS ’13 and former President of AEPi, was Chairman of the Greek Judicial Board—until today, when he resigned by email. “My decision,” he wrote, “is based in large part on my reaction to the Brownstone Application Committee’s decision.” He called Dean Martinez’s management of the committee “absurd and out-of-line,” and protests that the committee […]
As December 21st creeps ever closer, there’s a lot to worry about—should I stock up on water or tequila? In the event of zombies, should I invest in a chainsaw? Should I start taking notes when I watch “Doomsday Preppers?” While Bwog sits and counts its anxieties on its fingers, Elyse Pitock, BC ’15, went […]
During the tree-lighting ceremony last Thursday on College Walk, our darn-diddley Dean added to the College’s finals-burden by announcing a little extra-curricular pop quiz. Though the quiz is merely a pesky distraction for our more SEAS-minded peers, Bwog is skittish (and uncomfortably reminded of consulting interviews). The Dean, however, says it’s something technical yet accessible. […]
Oh, the perks of living in New York City! An FX show called “The Americans” is filming on Amsterdam in front of the Italian Academy. If you’re in the area, be sure to take a gander.
Sick of dining halls? Feeling hungry and broke? Well get ready to have your day made! In a surprise free food giveaway, the KSA is giving away 100+ servings of bibimbap (a Korean dish of rice mixed with eggs and vegetables) at 1:00 on the Lerner Ramps next to the piano lounge. Get yourself to […]
Levien Gym is officially “on lockdown” as the OKC Thunder prep for tomorrow’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. Bwog couldn’t catch a glimpse of Kevin Durant (though his presence was confirmed by one, very confident bro), but 2003 NCAA NPOY, First Team All-American, and Kansas’s second all-time leading scorer, Nick Collison, was confirmed in attendance via blurry […]
So let’s be honest: everybody hates Mondays. The closer we get to finals, the truer this becomes. So, as you roll out of bed on Monday morning and question the life decisions that got you to this point, Bwog is here to help you cheer up! Calm down, take a deep breath, and feel better […]
Last week, Bwog asked Sunday night Butler residents if they were happy. This week, we wondered what they would rather be doing. Here are your replies: Guy in polo: “Hanging out with friends.” Girl with cool scarf and really white teeth: “Raging on a beach at a party.” Girl with warm fuzzy jacket: “I’d be […]
At Bwog, we know that not all Columbia students are the same. And we know that most people’s classroom experiences are not the same. What we wanted to find out was just how different they can be. So, in a form of cruel experimentation, we sent an English major to an engineering lecture, and an […]
Even as the impending doom of finals approaches, the Lions remain in action and thankfully move indoors for the winter sports season. Unfortunately, it was a better weekend for individual performances than team results, especially in basketball. In a sold-out Levien Gymnasium, Men’s B-Ball let a 17-point lead slip away against Bucknell, even as senior […]
We’re counting down to our meeting tonight. You have approximately three hours to get to our meeting in the SGO at 7 pm on the 5th floor of Lerner. Bring ideas. Bring your envy of Beyoncé’s childbearing hips. There will be free food and a rumored Blue Ivy appearance. Still convinced Beyoncé was created by NASA via […]
Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. As always, feel free to mention any events we may have missed in the comments section (and/or mock our typos) and we’ll add them. Our recommendations […]
