As the day goes on and Columbia’s collective BAC rises, we’re going to drop all incoming pictures and tips into this post. Send your best to tips@bwog.com. Update, 4/15: We have taken down the chest photo upon request from the owner.
Holi 2012 at Columbia happened today, outside of Pupin. The revelers threw copious amounts of paint, danced to Bollywood and Holi songs and generally frolicked to mark the Hindu celebration of spring. Many clothes were ruined, and much fun was had by all. If you missed it look out for paint trails in dorms everywhere today, […]
From Chewbacchanal to Abacchalypse to Barkanal, some of us have seen many a Bacchanal come and go. But for those who haven’t—or for those whose memories of said festivities are suspiciously “blank”—here’s a little refresher course in what to expect. When and Where Today. Duh. The performances start at 2 pm, and will go ’til […]
We protest, tenaciously. (NYT) We plan for the future, bureaucratically. (Scribd) We lose connections, digitially. (Atlantic) We see ourselves in animals, irrationally. (NY Mag) We ink ourselves, unwisely. (Slate) Sick Tat, Bro via Flickr
An email today from Dean Peter Awn (DeAwn?) announced that the 2012 GS Class Day speaker will be Thomas Reardon, GS ’08. Reardon was the architect behind Internet Explorer, a founding board member of the World Wide Web Consortium (which we at Bwog vaguely know about from a brief stint in 1004), and did lots […]
Last night, in the Lerner Black Box, Columbia Musical Theatre Society put on its rendition of Bright Lights, Big City, the musical based on Jay McInerney’s haunting novel of the same name. Conor Skelding took it as an excuse to spend extra time in Lerner. I went into CMTS’s Bright Lights, Big City, having read […]

TEDxCC is recruiting students from all levels and schools of Columbia University to speak at their event this coming October, themed “Beyond […]
Interested in free food, a new t-shirt, and watching a pad-less contact sport you’ve probably only seen in Invictus? Well, you’re in luck. Tonight, the Columbia Rugby Team, aka CURFC, takes on Yale in their biggest home game of the season. The two teams kick off at 7 pm at Baker Athletic Complex, but don’t […]
Though it’s embarrassing to admit it any time after NSOP, we all miss Sex and the City from time to time. A lucky tipster got to relive a little bit of it in Ferris yesterday when he unwittingly sat next to two Samanthas: Girl 1: Ew, he’s like 28! Girl 2: No, he’s 26. Girl […]
The results from the General Studies Student Council elections have just come in; unlike your breakfast this morning, some balance has been achieved between indulgence and foresight: Student Body President: Jennifer Wisdom 51% Scott Bacon 35% Eugene Dinescu 9% Vice President of Policy: Nikki Morgan 50% Alexandra Leighton 26% Chief Policy Representative Alexandra Leighton, per […]
Citing “financial constraints,” AHinks just notified the Barnard community via email that their physical education requirement has been reduced from two semesters to one. Students can still take two semesters for credit, but why would anybody do something they didn’t have to? From: ahinkson@barnard.edu Date: April 13, 2012 12:10:01 PM EDT Subject: Change in PE […]
